[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 And Figure 2 Flip side plate 101 is provided with sealing rubber strip around the edge.

[0022] The sealing rubber strip is fixed on the circumferential edge of the turnover side plate 101 by meansing, inlaying or the like, to ensure that the rubber strip is tightly attached to the contact part of the container body 1 without obvious gaps. The sealing property of the turnover side plate 101 when closed is enhanced, preventing external impurities such as rainwater and dust from entering the interior of the container body 1, and at the same time, the heat exchange between the interior space and the outside world is reduced to a certain extent, playing a role of heat preservation and insulation.

[0023] Further, the turnover side plate 101 is provided with a locking mechanism that can be connected with the container body 1.

[0024] The hook and the slot can be matched, the bolt can be connected, or a special lock can be used. For example, metal hooks and slots that match each other are respectively installed on the corresponding positions of the turnover side plate 101 and the container body 1, the hooks are clamped into the slots when closed, and a anti-falling device can be provided; or bolt holes are installed, and the turnover side plate 101 is connected by a bolt; or a special lock with a key or password control is used. When the turnover side plate 101 is closed, the turnover side plate 101 is firmly connected with the container body 1 through the locking mechanism, so that the turnover side plate 101 will not be accidentally opened during transportation or use, and the safety and stability of the container are improved.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the expansion space module 2 includes a C-shaped frame 201, a ceiling 202 is fixedly installed on the top of the C-shaped frame 201, and sliding strips 103 are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom surface of the C-shaped frame 201. Each sliding strip 103 is slidingly connected in the corresponding sliding rail 102. At least one access door 203 is rotatably installed on one side of the C-shaped frame 201. At least one window 204 is rotatably installed at both ends of the C-shaped frame 201. A plurality of glass walls 205 are embedded in the remaining space of the C-shaped frame 201.

[0026] The C-shaped frame 201 is made of metal material (such as steel) by welding or bolt connection, to ensure sufficient strength and stability. The ceiling 202 can be fixed on the top of the frame by a metal plate or a composite material plate. The access door 203 is selected according to actual needs, and appropriate size and material (such as aluminum alloy door or steel door) are selected. The access door 203 is installed on one side of the C-shaped frame 201 through a hinge or the like. The window 204 is selected from appropriate glass materials (such as transparent or frosted glass), and is rotatably connected to the frame after being installed in a window frame. The glass wall is made of high-strength tempered glass, which is cut and installed according to the size of the reserved space in the frame, and can be fixed by glue joint or metal frame. A relatively independent and complete expansion space is provided, which can be arranged for different purposes according to needs, such as living space, office space or cargo classification storage space, etc., improving the multifunctionality and applicability of the container.

[0027] Further, the other side surface of the turnover side plate 101 is fixedly provided with a pad 104 at both ends.

[0028] The pad 104 is used to pad the turnover side plate 101, so that the two slide rails 102 arranged on one side surface of the turnover side plate 101 are consistent in height with the slide rails 102 arranged on the inner wall of the bottom of the container body 1 after the turnover side plate 101 is unfolded, and the stability of the sliding of the whole expansion space module 2 is ensured. In actual use, each pad 104 can be provided as two independent parts, and screw holes and screw rods are arranged on each independent part, respectively, so that the distance between the two parts can be adjusted by rotation, thereby actively adjusting the height of the whole pad 104 in some cases, and reducing the use limitation.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 4 The push-pull control mechanism 3 comprises an installation plate 301 and two first connecting blocks 302. The installation plate 301 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the expansion space module 2. A sliding groove 303 is formed in one side of the top inner wall of the container body 1. The two first connecting blocks 302 are slidably installed in the sliding groove 303. Two second connecting blocks 304 are fixedly installed on one side surface of the installation plate 301. The first connecting block 302 and the second connecting block 304 located at the same end are rotatably connected with the two ends of the corresponding connecting rod 305. The two first connecting blocks 302 are connected with the driving mechanism.

[0030] The installation plate 301 is made of metal plate and is fixedly connected on the top inner wall of the expansion space module 2 by welding or bolts. The sliding groove 303 is accurately processed on the top inner wall of the container body 1, so that the first connecting block 302 can smoothly slide in the sliding groove 303. The second connecting block 304 is also made of metal and is fixedly connected on one side of the installation plate 301. The connecting rod 305 is made of metal rod with appropriate length and strength, and the two ends of the connecting rod 305 are rotatably connected with the first connecting block 302 and the second connecting block 304, respectively, to ensure the flexibility and reliability of the connection. When the driving mechanism drives the two sliding grooves 303 to perform synchronous reverse displacement, one end of the two connecting rods 305 can be pulled at the same time, so as to change the angle of the two connecting rods 305 and pull or push the expansion space module 2 to slide relative to the container body 1. The expansion space module 2 can be extended and retracted.

[0031] Further, the driving mechanism comprises a bidirectional threaded rod 306. The side surface of each first connecting block 302 is provided with a threaded hole, and the two first connecting blocks 302 are connected with the two ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 306 through the threaded holes, respectively. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod 306 is rotatably installed on one end of the inner wall of the container body 1. The other end of the bidirectional threaded rod 306 is fixedly connected with one end of the output shaft of the driving motor 307. The driving motor 307 is fixedly installed on the other side of the inner wall of the container body 1.

[0032] The bidirectional threaded rod 306 is made of high-strength alloy steel, and the appropriate pitch and diameter are determined according to the moving stroke of the first connecting block 302 and the required thrust. A bearing seat is installed on the inner wall of one end of the container body 1 to rotatably support one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 306, and the other end is firmly connected with the output shaft of the driving motor 307 through a shaft coupling or the like. The driving motor 307 has a forward and reverse rotation function, and the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the motor can be controlled through a control panel or a remote controller, so as to accurately control the moving speed and position of the expansion space module 2. The automation of the push-pull control of the expansion space module 2 is realized, the convenience and efficiency of operation are improved, the labor intensity and error of manual operation are reduced, especially in some scenes with high requirements for space adjustment accuracy, which has a significant advantage, and the intelligent level of the entire expandable container is improved.

[0033] Working principle: in the normal transportation or non-expansion state, the turnover side plate 101 is closed and tightly connected with the container body 1 through the locking mechanism, to ensure the integrity and sealing of the overall structure. When the space needs to be expanded, the driving motor 307 is started, and the driving motor 307 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 306 to rotate. Since the two ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 306 are respectively connected with the two first connecting blocks 302 through threads, and the two first connecting blocks 302 are slidingly installed in the sliding groove 303 on the top inner wall of the container body 1, when the bidirectional threaded rod 306 rotates, the two first connecting blocks 302 will move towards or away from each other along the sliding groove 303. The first connecting block 302 is connected with the second connecting block 304 installed on the top inner wall of the expansion space module 2 through the connecting rod 305, so as to transmit power to the expansion space module 2. The sliding strip 103 at the bottom of the expansion space module 2 slides on the corresponding sliding rails on the inner wall at the bottom of the container body 1 and the side surface of the turnover side plate 101, and under the action of the push-pull control mechanism 3, the expansion space module 2 slides out from the inside of the container body 1 to the outside, realizing the expansion of the space. The entrance and exit door 203, the window 204 and the glass wall 205 and other structures on the expansion space module 2 jointly construct a relatively independent expansion space with complete functions, which meets different use requirements.

[0034] It should be noted that the specific model and specification of the driving motor 307 need to be determined according to the actual specifications of the device, and the specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in the art, so it will not be described in detail.

[0035] The power supply and principle of the driving motor 307 are clear to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
