Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics and transportation, in particular to an aluminum alloy open-top dry bulk container. Background Art
[0002] Traditional dry bulk containers are mostly made of steel or fiberglass. While these materials offer strength and durability, they suffer from heavy weight, poor corrosion resistance, and high maintenance costs. With the development of the global logistics industry, the demand for lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and environmentally friendly containers is increasing.
[0003] For containers, the more critical issue is how to quickly unload the dry bulk cargo inside. When a container is filled with cargo, its own mass is relatively large. Traditional unloading methods mostly involve dumping or opening the container door to allow the dry bulk cargo to be unloaded. However, dumping is not only an unsafe unloading method, but also leaves cargo residue and has low unloading efficiency. When opening the container door, under the influence of gravity, the cargo will not only quickly pour out, which may easily cause injuries to people, but also the cargo will be scattered everywhere.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide an aluminum alloy open-top dry bulk container to solve the defects of existing dry bulk containers during unloading is a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To this end, the utility model provides an aluminum alloy open-top dry bulk container to solve the problems in the prior art of high unloading risk and low efficiency caused by defects in the structure of the existing dry bulk container.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] The utility model discloses an aluminum alloy open top dry bulk container, comprising:
[0008] The box body has a hollow interior, and the upper end of the bottom surface of the box body is turned over and connected with a feeding plate;

[0010] A movable plate, drivingly connected to the top of the box;
[0011] A flap, flipped and connected to the bottom of the front end of the box;
[0012] The limiting lock is installed on the outer surface of the flap and the box body.
[0013] In one possible implementation, a rectangular hole is opened on the top of the box body, displacement holes are provided on both sides of the rectangular hole, the movable plate is transmission-connected in the displacement hole, a plurality of circular holes are opened on the upper surface of the bottom plate of the box body, a driving spring is installed in the circular hole, the upper end of the driving spring is installed on the bottom of the feeding plate, a rectangular groove is opened on the inner surface of the box body, a tightening assembly is transmission-connected in the rectangular groove, a flip groove is opened on the bottom of the front plate of the box body, and a triangular block is installed at the upper edge of the flip groove.
[0014] In a possible implementation, the feeding plate includes:
[0015] A rectangular plate having a conical head mounted on one end surface, the upper end of the drive spring being mounted on the bottom surface of the rectangular plate;
[0016] The turning rods are arranged in pairs and are installed on the left and right sides of the rectangular plate. The turning rods are inserted into the side walls of the box body.
[0017] In a possible implementation, the tightening assembly includes:
[0018] a plurality of extrusion springs installed in the rectangular groove;
[0019] A top plate is mounted on the other end of the extrusion spring, the top plate is transmission-connected in the rectangular slot, and one end surface of the top plate abuts against the rear surface of the feeding plate.
[0020] In a possible implementation, the flap includes:
[0021] A plate body, one end surface of which is provided with an oblique groove, and the other end surface of which is provided with a semicircular arc structure;
[0022] The rotating rods are arranged in pairs and are installed on the left and right ends of the plate body. The rotating rods are inserted into the side surface of the box body.
[0023] In a possible implementation, the restriction lock includes:
[0024] A driving rod, one end of which is flipped and connected to the front surface of the box body, and a first lock body is installed at the front end of the driving rod;
[0025] A second lock body is mounted on the outer surface of the flap, and a socket is formed in the second lock body and the first lock body;
[0026] A locking rod is provided with a limiting ball at its upper end, and the locking rod is inserted into the two insertion holes.
[0027] In a possible implementation, a handle is installed on the upper end of the movable plate.
[0028] When loading dry bulk cargo, the utility model will press the feeding plate downward under the influence of the gravity of the dry bulk cargo, and finally make the feeding plate perpendicular to the side plate of the box body. When unloading is required, the restriction of the restriction lock is cancelled, and the flap is flipped over. After flipping over, the dry bulk cargo will be unloaded from the side of the box body under the influence of gravity. After the flap is flipped over, a slope will be formed to guide it. As the gravity of the dry bulk cargo decreases, the feeding plate slowly flips and resets, so that the feeding plate and the bottom plate of the box body form an angle. The rising feeding plate is inclined, so that the dry bulk cargo slides out along the inclined surface, which not only improves the unloading efficiency, but also ensures that everything in the box body can be unloaded without residue. The tightening component will continue to press the feeding plate to prevent the dry bulk cargo from falling to the bottom of the feeding plate, thereby improving the unloading efficiency and enhancing the practicality and versatility.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-6 Now, an aluminum alloy open top dry bulk container disclosed in the present utility model is described. The present utility model is composed of six parts, such as Figure 1 The container consists of a box body 1, a feed plate 2, a flap 3, a limit lock 4, a tightening assembly 5, and a movable plate 6. The interior of the box body 1 is a hollow structure. The upper end of the bottom surface of the box body 1 is connected to the feed plate 2 by a flip. The tightening assembly 5 is connected to the inner surface of the side wall of the box body 1 by a driving connection. The movable plate 6 is connected to the top of the box body 1 by a driving connection. The flap 3 is connected to the bottom front end of the box body 1 by a flip. The limit lock 4 is installed on the flap 3 and the outer surface of the box body 1. The entire container is made of aluminum alloy, which makes it lightweight and has a better load-bearing capacity.
[0040] When the utility model is in use, the handle is pulled to move the movable plate 6 along the displacement hole 11, so that the rectangular hole leaks out, and then the dry bulk cargo is poured into the rectangular hole. As the mass of the dry bulk cargo in the box body 1 increases, the rear end of the feed plate 2 is pressed downward, and the front end of the feed plate 2 rotates, while driving the spring 12 to move downward and compress, and generate elastic force, and the extrusion spring 52 is always in a compressed state. Under the action of the elastic force of the extrusion spring 52, the top plate 51 is pushed to contact the rear surface of the feed plate 2, so that there is no gap between the feed plate 2 and the top plate 51, which effectively prevents the dry bulk cargo from falling to the bottom of the feed plate 2 along the gap when the feed plate 2 is turned over. When unloading is required, the locking rod is driven 45 moves up, and the locking rod 45 leaves the second lock body 44 and drives the first lock body 42 to rotate. After the limit is cancelled, the flap 3 is flipped to leak the flip groove 15, and the dry bulk cargo moves along the flip groove 15 under the influence of its own gravity for unloading. When the dry bulk cargo in the box body 1 is reduced, due to the reduction in gravity, the elastic force of the driving spring 12 is greater than the gravity, which will drive the rear end of the feeding plate 2 to gradually move up, and the front end of the feeding plate 2 will also rotate accordingly, so that the feeding plate 2 and the bottom plate of the box body 1 have an inclined angle, which is convenient for the dry bulk cargo to move along this inclined angle, so that the dry bulk cargo in the box body 1 can be completely unloaded, and a slope will be formed after the flap 3 is flipped, which is convenient for the unloading of the dry bulk cargo.
[0041] In a specific embodiment, Figure 2 The box body 1 has a rectangular hole on the top, and displacement holes 11 are provided on both sides of the rectangular hole. The movable plate 6 is connected to the displacement holes 11 in a transmission manner. A plurality of circular holes 13 are provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate of the box body 1. A driving spring 12 is installed in the circular hole 13. The upper end of the driving spring 12 is installed at the bottom of the feeding plate 2. A rectangular groove 14 is provided on the inner surface of the box body 1. The tightening assembly 5 is connected to the rectangular groove 14 in a transmission manner. A flip groove 15 is provided on the bottom of the front plate of the box body 1. A triangular block 16 is installed at the upper edge of the flip groove 15. The depths of the two displacement holes 11 are different. One is suitable for placing the movable plate 6 when the rectangular hole is closed, and the other is used for the sliding of the movable plate 6. The depth of the flip groove 15 is limited, which can control the unloading rate of the dry bulk cargo. The setting of the triangular block 16 can not only drain the dry bulk cargo, but also be used to fit and align with the inclined groove 31, so as to facilitate the rotation of the flap 3.
[0042] In a specific embodiment, Figure 3The feed plate 2 includes a rectangular plate 21, a flip rod 22, and a conical head 23. The conical head 23 is mounted on one end surface of the rectangular plate 21. The upper end of the drive spring 12 is mounted on the bottom surface of the rectangular plate 21. The flip rods 22 are arranged in pairs, mounted on the left and right sides of the rectangular plate 21. The flip rods 22 are inserted into the side wall of the box body 1. The design of the conical head 23 allows the front end of the rectangular plate 21 to become a slope, facilitating integration with the inclined surface of the flip plate 3 to form a slideway. It also limits the rotation angle of the rectangular plate 21, preventing excessive rotation from causing the contact between the rectangular plate 21 and the top plate 51 to be lost, causing the dry bulk cargo to enter between the rectangular plate 21 and the bottom plate of the box body 1. The flip rod 22 is used to flip the front end of the rectangular plate 21.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, Figure 4 The clamping assembly 5 includes a top plate 51 and a compression spring 52. Several compression springs 52 are installed in the rectangular groove 14. The top plate 51 is installed on the other end of the compression spring 52. The top plate 51 is drivingly connected to the rectangular groove 14. One end surface of the top plate 51 abuts against the rear surface of the feed plate 2. Both surfaces of the top plate 51 that contact the rectangular plate 21 can be configured as an inclined structure. This allows the front surface of the top plate 51 to tightly fit with the rear surface of the rectangular plate 21 when the rectangular plate 21 is turned over, preventing leakage.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, Figure 5 The flap 3 includes an inclined slot 31, a plate 32, a rotating rod 33, and a semicircular structure 34. The inclined slot 31 is formed on one end of the plate 32, and the semicircular structure 34 is formed on the other end of the plate 32. The rotating rods 33 are arranged in pairs, mounted on the left and right ends of the plate 32. The rotating rods 33 are inserted into the side surface of the box body 1. The design of the semicircular structure 34 facilitates the rotation of the plate 32, and the rotating rods 33 are used to rotate the plate 32.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, Figure 6 The limiting lock 4 includes a driving rod 41, a first lock body 42, a socket 43, a second lock body 44, a locking rod 45, and a limiting ball 46. One end of the driving rod 41 is flipped and connected to the front surface of the box body 1. The first lock body 42 is installed at the front end of the driving rod 41. The second lock body 44 is installed on the outer surface of the flap 3. The second lock body 44 and the first lock body 42 have sockets 43. The upper end of the locking rod 45 is installed with a limiting ball 46, and the locking rod 45 is inserted into the two sockets 43. The driving rod 41 is configured to rotate the first lock body 42. After the first lock body 42 rotates, the locking rod 45 is placed horizontally, so that the locking rod 45 does not need to be removed. When the locking rod 45 is inserted into the second lock body 44 and the first lock body 42 at the same time, the flipping of the flap 3 can be restricted. The design of the limiting ball 46 can restrict the locking rod 45 from continuing to move downward after the locking rod 45 is inserted into the second lock body 44.
[0046] In a specific embodiment, a handle is installed on the upper end of the movable plate 6. The handle is used to drive the movable plate 6.
[0047] Although the present invention has been described in detail above using general descriptions and specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications or improvements may be made to the present invention. Therefore, such modifications or improvements, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, are within the scope of protection claimed herein.
