Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation technology, specifically to a multifunctional container. Background Technology

[0002] Containers are an important tool for logistics and transportation. In order to meet the requirements of sea-land intermodal transport, top corner fittings are usually installed at the four top corners of the container and bottom corner fittings at the four bottom corners. When containers are stacked, the bottom and top corner fittings of adjacent containers are locked together by interlocking tools. However, during container transshipment, lifting tools that are compatible with the container size are usually required. For example, a 40-foot standard container can only be lifted with a compatible 40-foot spreader. When using a standard container as a near-shore container, it cannot be lifted with a spreader compatible with near-shore containers, which limits the applicability of standard containers. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a multifunctional container that can be used as a standard container as well as a near-shore container.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] The multi-functional container includes the container body, corner brackets at the four corners of the top of the container body, and four lifting assemblies at the top of the container body;

[0006] The lifting assembly includes a base plate fixedly connected to the housing, connecting lugs fixed to the upper surface of the base plate, and lifting rings pivotally connected to the connecting lugs;

[0007] The top of the box is provided with a top side beam extending along the length of the box on both sides. Each top side beam has two installation positions that are staggered along its length. The base plates of the four lifting components are fixed to the four installation positions respectively, so that the lifting rings of the four lifting components are placed at the four corners of a square structure.

[0008] The mounting position is a notch that is recessed downward from the top of the top side beam. The bottom plate has end walls extending upward from its upper surface at both ends. A center corner piece is fixedly connected to one end wall, and the other end wall and the center corner piece are welded to the two sides of the notch respectively. The lower surface of the bottom plate is welded to the bottom edge of the notch.

[0009] The sides of the box are provided with support columns extending along the height direction, and the bottom sides of the box are respectively provided with bottom side beams extending along the length direction of the box. The top of the support column is connected to the bottom surface of the corner piece and welded to the corner piece. The bottom of the support column is fixed to the bottom side beam.

[0010] A supporting longitudinal beam is welded and fixed to the inner side of the bottom beam, forming a supporting surface. The bottom end of the supporting column is connected to the supporting surface and welded and fixed to the supporting surface.

[0011] The connecting lug is plate-shaped, with one end welded and fixed to the center corner piece, and the other end provided with a shaft hole. A connecting shaft passes through the shaft hole, and the lifting ring is connected to the connecting shaft.

[0012] The top of the box is provided with a top wall, which includes three corrugated top plates arranged along the length of the box. A connecting beam is provided between two adjacent corrugated top plates. The connecting beam is located between two hoisting components aligned in the width direction of the box, and the end of the connecting beam is fixedly engaged with the bottom plate of the hoisting component.

[0013] The inner side of the base plate is provided with an inner baffle extending upward from its upper surface. The end of the connecting beam is mated to the inner baffle and welded together with it.

[0014] The length of the enclosure is 40 feet or 20 feet, and the distance between the two lifting rings on the same side of the enclosure is 2991~6058mm; on the same side of the enclosure, the center point of the line connecting the two lifting rings coincides with the center point of the line connecting the two top corner pieces or is aligned in the width direction of the enclosure.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention features four lifting components on the top of the container. The lifting rings on the four lifting components form a square structure, allowing the four lifting rings to be adapted to lifting devices used for near-shore containers. Therefore, this multi-functional container can be used as a near-shore container. In addition, the four corner pieces on the top of the container can be used for stacking containers, enabling the container to be used as a standard container for sea-land intermodal transport, thus increasing the applicability of the container.

[0021] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0022] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this utility model provides a multifunctional container, which includes a container body 10, four corner pieces 20, and four lifting assemblies 30. The container body 10 is approximately a regular hexahedron. The four corner pieces 20 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the container body 10. The four lifting assemblies 30 are all located on the top of the container body 10. Each lifting assembly 30 includes a base plate 31, connecting ears 32, and lifting rings 33. The base plate 31 is fixedly connected to the container body 10, the connecting ears 32 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 31, and the lifting rings 33 are pivotally connected to the connecting ears 32. A top side beam 11 extending along the length of the box body 10 is provided on each of the top two sides of the box body 10. Each top side beam 11 has two mounting positions, which are staggered by a certain distance along the length of the top side beam 11. That is, the two mounting positions on the top side beam 11 are located between the two corner pieces 20 at both ends of the top side beam 11. The four mounting positions on the two top side beams 11 are arranged opposite each other in the width direction of the box body 10. The base plates 31 of the four lifting components 30 are fixed to the four mounting positions respectively, so that the lifting rings 33 on the four lifting components 30 are respectively placed at the four corners of a square structure.

[0023] In this invention, four lifting components 30 are provided on the top of the container 10. The lifting rings 33 on the four lifting components 30 form a square structure, so that the four lifting rings 33 can be adapted to the lifting equipment used for lifting near-shore containers. Therefore, the multi-functional container of this invention can be used as a near-shore container. In addition, the four corner pieces 20 on the top of the container can be used for stacking containers, so that the container can be used as a standard container for sea-land intermodal transport, thus increasing the applicability of the container.

[0024] The aforementioned installation position is a notch 111 recessed downward from the top of the top side beam 11. The bottom plate 31 has end walls 311 extending upward from its upper surface at both ends. One end wall 311 is fixedly connected to a center corner piece 35, while the other end wall 311 and center corner piece 35 are welded to the two sides of the notch 111. The lower surface of the bottom plate 31 is welded to the bottom edge of the notch 111. The end walls 311, center corner piece 35, and bottom plate 31 form a box-like structure. By welding the end walls 311, center corner piece 35, and bottom plate 31 to the two sides and bottom edge of the notch 111, the box-like structure is welded to the top side beam 11. The notch 111 reduces the installation height of the lifting assembly 30, preventing the lifting ring 33 on the lifting assembly 30 from exceeding the upper surface of the center corner piece 20. It also increases the welding area between the lifting assembly 30 and the top side beam 11, ensuring the connection strength between the lifting assembly 30 and the top side beam 11. The sides of the housing 10 are provided with support columns 14 extending along the height direction. The bottom sides of the housing 10 are each provided with a bottom side beam 15 extending along the length direction of the housing 10. The top of the support column 14 is joined to the bottom surface of the corner bracket 35 and welded to the corner bracket 35. The bottom end of the support column 14 is fixed to the bottom side beam 15. The support column 14 supports the corner bracket 35, further increasing the connection strength between the lifting assembly 30 and the housing 10. A support longitudinal beam 16 is welded to the inner side of the bottom side beam 15, forming a support surface. The bottom end of the support column 14 is joined to the support surface and welded to the support surface.

[0025] In this utility model, the connecting lug 32 of the hoisting assembly 30 is plate-shaped, with one end welded and fixed to the center corner piece 35, and the other end provided with a shaft hole. A connecting shaft 34 passes through the shaft hole, and the lifting ring 33 is connected to the connecting shaft 34. Thus, the lifting ring 33 is pivotally connected to the connecting lug 32 through the connecting shaft 34.

[0026] A top wall is also provided on the top of the box body 10. The top wall includes three corrugated top plates 12 arranged along the length of the box body 10. A connecting beam 13 is provided between adjacent corrugated top plates 12. That is, the top wall is composed of three corrugated top plates 12 and two connecting beams 13. The two connecting beams 13 are respectively set between two opposite hoisting components 30 in the width direction. That is, the connecting beams 13 are located between two hoisting components 30 aligned in the width direction of the box body 10. The end wall of the connecting beam 13 is fixedly engaged with the bottom plate of the hoisting component 30. That is, the end of the connecting beam 13 can be directly welded and fixed to the bottom plate of the hoisting component 30, or an inner baffle 321 extending upward from its upper surface can be provided on the inner side of the bottom plate 31. The two sides of the inner baffle 321 can be welded to the two end walls 311 respectively. The end of the connecting beam 13 is connected to the inner baffle 312 and welded and fixed together with the inner baffle 312.

[0027] In some embodiments, the length of the housing 10 of this invention is 40 feet, and the distance between the two lifting rings 33 on the same side of the housing 10 is 6058 mm, so that the configuration of the four lifting rings 33 on the housing 10 is adapted to a 20-foot lifting device. On the same side of the housing 10, the center point of the line connecting the two lifting rings 33 coincides with the center point of the line connecting the two corner pieces 20 or is aligned in the width direction of the housing 10. That is, the two lifting rings 33 on the same side of the housing 10 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the centerline of the housing 10 to ensure balance during lifting. In other embodiments, the length of the housing 10 is 20 feet, and the distance between the two lifting rings 33 on the same side of the housing 10 is 2991 mm, so that the configuration of the four lifting rings 33 on the housing 10 is adapted to a 10-foot lifting device. Of course, the distance between the two lifting rings 33 on the same side of the housing 10 can be selected in the range of 2991 to 6058 mm to adapt to the lifting device used for lifting.

[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
