AI Technical Summary
The locking device of the existing split folding container is too small after being rotated to 45 degrees, which is easy to decouple during transportation, resulting in container scattering and cargo damage.
A connecting fixing locking device including a lock shell, a lock core, a support mechanism, a rotary mechanism, a reset mechanism and a button mechanism is designed. The vertical movement is converted into a rotary movement through the button mechanism to realize 90° rotation of the lock core, and the contact area between the lock head and the lock hole is ensured by using the rotary mechanism and the reset mechanism.
The 90° rotation of the lock core is achieved in a limited space, avoiding the decoupling between the lock head and the lock hole during transportation, ensuring the stability of the container and cargo safety.

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of container installation, and particularly relates to a connection, fixing and locking device for a new type of split-foldable container. Background Art:
[0002] At present, there are large trade gaps among countries around the world. A large number of containers have too high empty container rates during sea and land transportation. Due to the limited space in the transportation vehicle cabins, it is difficult to find a cabin and the transportation cost is too high. In order to reduce the space occupied by containers, improve the utilization rate of cabin space and achieve the effect of energy conservation and emission reduction, manufacturers have designed and produced split-foldable containers to ensure that more than 2 - 4 containers can be stacked in one cabin.
[0003] For the existing split-foldable containers, the following problems exist in their box panel connection and locking devices: Due to the limited space in the split-foldable containers, the lock head can only be rotated to about 45 degrees; in this case, the contact surface between the lock head and the lock hole is too small, and it is very easy for the connection lock device to become unhooked during the vibration of the box body during transportation or when loading and unloading heavy objects after the container is opened and during transportation, resulting in the container falling apart and the goods collapsing and being damaged.

[0017] Such as Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, a connecting, fixing and locking device for a new type of split-foldable container includes a lock housing 1, a lock core 2, a support mechanism, a rotary mechanism, a reset mechanism, and a button mechanism. A support mechanism and a button mechanism are arranged inside the lock housing 1. The support mechanism includes a fixing plate 3 and a lock pin 4. The fixing plate 3 is arranged inside the lock housing 1, and the lock pin 4 is arranged on the fixing plate 3. The rotary mechanism is a gear 5, and the gear 5 is rotatably arranged on the lock pin 4. The lock core 2 is arranged on the gear 5, and the end of the lock core 2 extends to the outside of the lock housing 1 to form a lock head 6. The reset mechanism includes a spring 7, a stop screw 8, and a fixing seat 9. The fixing seat 9 is arranged inside the lock housing 1. One end of the spring 7 is fixed on the fixing seat 9, and the other end of the spring 7 is fixed on the lock core 2 through the stop screw 8. The stop screw 8 is perpendicularly arranged with respect to the fixing seat 9. The button mechanism includes a transmission shaft 10, a shaft seat 11, a shaft cylinder 12, and a rack 13. The shaft seat 11 is arranged on the shaft cylinder 12, and the transmission shaft 10 passes through the shaft seat 11 and the shaft cylinder 12. The transmission shaft 10 can vertically move in the shaft seat 11 and the shaft cylinder 12 when a force is applied. Grooves are formed on the surfaces of the shaft cylinder 12 and the shaft seat 11 facing the gear 5, and a rack 13 is arranged on the surface of the transmission shaft 10 facing the gear 5.
