Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, and in particular to an intelligent monitoring container for railway dangerous goods transportation. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of railway freight transportation, the transportation of dangerous goods has always been a link that requires high attention to safety. Although traditional dangerous goods transport containers can meet basic transportation needs to a certain extent, they still have many shortcomings in terms of intelligent monitoring and safety assurance. Especially during long-distance transportation, due to the special nature of the goods, the temperature inside the container may rise abnormally. This not only threatens the safety of the goods themselves, but may also bring potential risks to the transport vehicle and the surrounding environment.

[0003] Traditional road-railway containers often lack auxiliary obstruction functions during use, which can easily cause unfilled goods inside the container to tilt forward or backward due to inertia during travel, potentially leading to damage. Additionally, when operators open the container doors, the goods inside may spill out, posing a safety hazard.

[0004] An existing patent (publication number: CN218143474U) discloses a road-railway container, comprising a container body, a sliding plate slidably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the container, a bearing plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate, a convex through groove formed at the bottom of the bearing plate, a convex column slidably connected to the inner cavity of the convex through groove, and a baffle plate rotatably connected to the bottom of the convex column via a bearing. This utility model, by setting up the sliding plate, bearing plate, convex through groove, convex column, and baffle plate, can conveniently separate and block the goods inside the container cavity. By setting up the cylinder, screw, push plate, and rubber pad, the baffle plate can be conveniently limited. With the above structure, the container has the advantage of having an auxiliary blocking function during use, thereby preventing the container from tilting forward or backward due to inertia during travel, thus avoiding damage to the goods and preventing potential safety hazards.

[0005] Existing patents offer solutions to the above problems, but they cannot monitor the temperature and transportation conditions inside the container, nor can they achieve ventilation and heat dissipation, which can lead to high-temperature hazards when transporting dangerous goods.

[0006] To address this, a smart monitoring container for railway dangerous goods transportation is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0033] A smart monitoring container for railway dangerous goods transportation includes a container body 1. A temperature sensor 2 and a monitoring probe 3 are installed on the top of the container body 1. An air duct 4 is provided on the top of the container body 1. Multiple wind turbines 5 are provided at one end of the air duct 4. An air supply switching mechanism 6 is provided inside the air duct 4. An exhaust ventilation mechanism 7 is provided on one side of the container body 1.

[0034] The air supply switching mechanism 6 includes a switching plate 61, an air outlet 62, an air supply pipe 63, an electric push rod 64, a mounting frame 65, and baffles 66. The switching plate 61 is fixedly connected to the inside of the air duct 4. Two air outlets 62 are opened in the middle of the switching plate 61. Two air supply pipes 63 are set in the middle of the switching plate 61. The air outlets 62 and air supply pipes 63 are alternately arranged. The electric push rod 64 is bolted to the side wall of the air duct 4. The mounting frame 65 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 64. The mounting frame 65 is movably set on the side wall of the switching plate 61. Two baffles 66 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 65.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a metal mesh cup 8 is installed at the port of the air supply duct 63, and a purification filter element 9 is installed inside the metal mesh cup 8.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the air supply duct 63 is provided with a mounting cover 10, and the middle of the mounting cover 10 is provided with multiple mounting heads 11, and the interior of the mounting head 11 is provided with an activated carbon filter element 12.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, two limiting strips 13 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the switching plate 61, and limiting grooves 14 are opened on both side walls of the mounting frame 65. The limiting strips 13 and the limiting grooves 14 are movably connected.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, metal protective nets 15 are installed at both ends of the air duct 4.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the housing 1 is provided with multiple lifting heads 16, which are arranged at equal intervals.

[0040] During use, when the container 1 is transporting goods with a train, the temperature sensor 2 and the monitoring probe 3 intelligently monitor the temperature inside the container 1 and the condition of the goods. As the container 1 moves rapidly, external air continuously flows into the air duct 4. The wind turbine 5 in the air duct 4 converts the wind power into electricity and stores it, providing power to the temperature sensor 2, monitoring probe 3, and other electrical equipment inside the container 1. The air is then discharged from the air duct 4 through the air outlet 62. When high temperatures are detected inside the container 1, the electric push rod 64 pulls the mounting frame 65 and the baffle 66 to move. At this time, the baffle 66 blocks the two air outlets 62. With the air supply duct 63 open, air enters the interior of the air supply duct 63 and then the housing 1. During this process, the metal mesh cup 8 and the purification filter element 9 filter and remove impurities from the air inside the air supply duct 63. At the same time, the activated carbon filter element 12 inside the mounting head 11 deodorizes and dehumidifies the air, thus purifying the air entering the housing 1. Meanwhile, the limiting strip 13 and the limiting groove 14 guide and restrict the movement of the mounting frame 65. The metal protective mesh 15 protects both ends of the air duct 4 to prevent foreign objects from entering the interior of the air duct 4. The lifting head 16 facilitates the lifting and transportation of the housing 1.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the ventilation mechanism 7 includes an exhaust pipe 71, an exhaust cup 72, an exhaust fan 73, an electric push rod 74, and a plug 75. The exhaust pipe 71 is located at the top of the housing 1 and passes through the housing 1. The exhaust cup 72 is fixedly connected to the top of the exhaust pipe 71. The exhaust fan 73 is bolted to the middle of the exhaust pipe 71. The electric push rod 74 is bolted to the side wall of the exhaust cup 72. The plug 75 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 74 and is movably connected to the exhaust cup 72. The exhaust cup 72 is located inside the air duct 4.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the top of the box 1 is provided with a protective top 17, and the middle of the protective top 17 is provided with multiple through slots 18.

[0043] During use, when ventilating, the electric push rod 74 is activated to push the plug 75 away from the exhaust cup 72. At this time, the exhaust fan 73 starts to transport and exhaust the hot air inside the box 1. The hot air is discharged from the port of the exhaust cup 72, thus removing the heat inside the box 1. The protective top 17 and the through slot 18 can shield and protect the temperature sensor 2, the monitoring probe 3, the exhaust pipe 71 and the air supply pipe 63, preventing them from colliding with the goods during loading and unloading.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solutions, the problems of existing railway containers being unable to monitor the internal temperature and transportation conditions, as well as the inability to achieve ventilation and heat dissipation, have been solved, which has led to the problem that containers are prone to high temperature hazards when transporting dangerous goods.

[0045] Working Principle: During use, when the container 1 is transporting goods by train, the temperature sensor 2 and monitoring probe 3 intelligently monitor the internal temperature and cargo status of the container 1. During rapid movement, external air continuously flows into the air duct 4. The wind turbine 5 in the air duct 4 converts the wind power into electricity and stores it, providing power to the temperature sensor 2, monitoring probe 3, and other electrical equipment inside the container 1. The air then exits through the air outlet 62 into the air duct 4. When high temperatures are detected inside the container 1, the electric push rod 64 pulls the mounting frame 65 and the baffle 66. At this time, the baffle 66 blocks the two air outlets 62, and the port of the air supply pipe 63 is open, allowing air to enter. The air enters the interior of the air supply duct 63 and then into the interior of the container 1. During exhaust, the electric push rod 74 is activated to push the plug 75 away from the exhaust cup 72. At this time, the exhaust fan 73 starts to transport and exhaust the hot air inside the container 1. The hot air is discharged from the port of the exhaust cup 72, thus removing the heat from the interior of the container 1. In this way, the temperature and cargo status inside the container 1 are intelligently monitored. The wind power at the top of the container 1 is fully utilized during transportation, and the wind power is converted into electricity to provide power for the electrical equipment inside the container 1. This allows for the circulation of air inside and outside the container 1. The air circulation process carries away the heat inside the container 1, achieving ventilation and cooling of the container 1, thus improving the safety of dangerous goods transportation.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
