Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of containers, and in particular to a steel structure container. Background Technology
[0002] Steel-structured shipping containers are large cargo containers made primarily of high-strength steel, characterized by their robustness, durability, standardization, and versatility. These containers mainly consist of a steel frame, corrugated sidewalls, flooring and additional beams, operable doors and their accessories, and loading / unloading components, ensuring the container's structural integrity and strength. Steel-structured shipping containers are not only widely used in logistics and transportation as a primary tool for loading and transporting goods, but also, due to their structural advantages, are used to construct various building forms such as offices, shops, and mobile food trucks. Users can customize the design and decoration according to their needs, flexibly choosing interior and exterior wall materials, floors, windows, and doors. Furthermore, steel-structured shipping containers offer advantages such as strong earthquake resistance and deformation resistance, low construction costs, easy dismantling, and high recyclability, making them a convenient, efficient, and environmentally friendly space solution for modern life.
[0003] In existing technologies, when steel-structured containers are used as the main tool for loading and transporting goods, multiple steel-structured containers are often required. In order to reduce the transportation cost per unit of goods and to load more goods in a limited space, steel-structured containers are usually stacked for transportation. However, due to the lack of quick connection and locking measures between existing steel-structured containers after stacking, when steel-structured containers are stacked too high and transported in harsh environments, the steel-structured containers at higher positions are prone to shaking and falling due to external factors. This not only poses safety hazards and reduces the safety of transportation, but also brings inconvenience to the transportation of steel-structured containers. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a steel structure container that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A steel structure container includes a steel structure container body. Two adjacent steel structure container bodies are stacked and fixedly connected together by a connecting and locking mechanism on both sides. The connecting and locking mechanism includes a concave seat, a screw, a movable plate, and a concave locking plate. The concave seat is fixedly connected to the side wall of the steel structure container body, and the screw is movably connected to the concave seat through a first rotating rod at the bottom end. The movable plate is movably connected to the screw through a screw hole on the top surface, and the concave locking plate is movably connected to the outside of the movable plate through second rotating rods on both sides.
[0007] Furthermore, a set of symmetrical fixing plates are fixedly installed on the lower side walls of the left and right sides of the steel structure container body, and the bottom surface of the fixing plate is provided with a positioning groove, and the top surface of the fixing plate is provided with a limit opening.
[0008] Furthermore, a set of symmetrical concave seats corresponding to the positions of the fixing plates are fixedly installed on the upper sides of the left and right side walls of the steel structure container body, and a positioning plate corresponding to the positioning groove is fixedly installed on the top surface of the concave seat.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the concave seat is provided with a first rotating hole, and the inner sidewall of the concave seat is also provided with a vertical sliding opening.
[0010] Furthermore, a first rotating rod is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the screw, and the first rotating rod is movably installed in the first rotating hole. A knob is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the first rotating rod. A screw hole is opened on the top surface of the movable plate, and the movable plate is threadedly connected to the screw through the screw hole. A slider is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the movable plate, and the slider is movably installed in the vertical sliding opening. Second rotating rods are also fixedly installed on the front and rear side walls of the movable plate, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, a second rotating hole is provided on the lower side wall of the concave locking plate, and a second rotating rod is inserted into the second rotating hole.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In this invention, the connecting locking mechanism, when a steel structure container body is hoisted onto the top surface of another steel structure container body for stacking using hoisting equipment, allows the positioning plate on the top surface of the lower concave seat to be inserted into the positioning groove on the bottom surface of the upper fixing plate. This quickly positions and stacks the two steel structure container bodies together, preventing positional deviations after stacking. After stacking, the concave locking plate is flipped inwards, allowing it to rotate through the second rotating holes on both sides along the second rotating rod to reach an inverted state. Rotating the knob then drives the screw through the first rotating rod. As the rotating mechanism moves the movable plate downwards through the screw holes along the knob, the second rotating rod drives the concave locking plate downwards until the lateral part of the concave locking plate engages with the limiting slot on the top surface of the fixed plate. This facilitates the quick connection and locking of adjacent stacked steel structure container bodies, preventing shaking and falling during transport and avoiding unnecessary safety hazards. Furthermore, it not only ensures the safety of transporting the steel structure container bodies but also facilitates the stacking and transporting of these containers. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, a steel structure container includes a steel structure container body 1. Two adjacent steel structure container bodies 1 are stacked and fixedly connected together by a connecting locking mechanism 2 on both sides. The connecting locking mechanism 2 includes a concave seat 6, a screw 10, a movable plate 13, and a concave locking plate 17. The concave seat 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the steel structure container body 1, and the screw 10 is movably connected to the concave seat 6 through a first rotating rod 11 at the bottom end. The movable plate 13 is movably connected to the screw 10 through a screw hole 14 on the top surface, and the concave locking plate 17 is movably connected to the outside of the movable plate 13 through a second rotating rod 16 on both sides.
[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a set of symmetrical fixing plates 3 are fixedly installed on the lower side walls of the left and right sides of the steel structure container body 1, and the bottom surface of the fixing plate 3 is provided with a positioning groove 4. The positioning groove 4 can cooperate with the positioning plate 7 to realize the positioning and stacking of the steel structure container bodies 1. The top surface of the fixing plate 3 is provided with a limit opening 5. The limit opening 5 is used to cooperate with the concave locking plate 17 to realize the connection and locking function.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, a set of symmetrical concave seats 6 corresponding to the positions of fixed plates 3 are fixedly installed on the upper sides of the left and right side walls of the steel structure container body 1. The top surface of the concave seat 6 is fixedly installed with a positioning plate 7 corresponding to the positioning groove 4. When the steel structure container body 1 is lifted and stacked together by the hoisting equipment, the positioning plate 7 on the top surface of the lower concave seat 6 can be inserted into the positioning groove 4 opened on the bottom surface of the upper fixed plate 3 to achieve the positioning and stacking of the steel structure container body 1, so as to prevent the position of the steel structure container body 1 from deviating after stacking.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom surface of the concave seat 6 is provided with a first rotating hole 8, which is used to cooperate with the first rotating rod 11 to realize the rotation operation. The inner side wall of the concave seat 6 is also provided with a vertical sliding opening 9, which is used to cooperate with the slider 15 to realize the sliding operation.
[0025] like Figure 4As shown, a first rotating rod 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the screw 10, and the first rotating rod 11 is movably installed in the first rotating hole 8. A knob 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the first rotating rod 11. A screw hole 14 is opened on the top surface of the movable plate 13, and the movable plate 13 is threadedly connected to the screw 10 through the screw hole 14. A slider 15 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the movable plate 13, and the slider 15 is movably installed in the vertical sliding opening 9. A second rotating rod 16 is also fixedly installed on the front and rear side walls of the movable plate 13 respectively. Rotating the knob 12 drives the screw 10 to rotate through the first rotating rod 11, so that the movable plate 13 can move downward along the screw 10 through the screw hole 14, and the slider 15 slides in the vertical sliding opening 9. The second rotating rod 16 drives the concave locking plate 17 to move downward, and the second rotating rod 16 can cooperate with the concave locking plate 17 to realize the flipping operation.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the concave locking plate 17 has second rotating holes 18 on the lower side walls of both sides, and the second rotating rod 16 is inserted into the second rotating holes 18. The concave locking plate 17 can be flipped inward along the second rotating rod 16 through the second rotating holes 18 to an inverted state. Then, driven by the downward movement of the movable plate 13, its lateral part is placed in the limiting opening 5 on the top surface of the fixed plate 3. This allows the adjacent steel structure container bodies 1 stacked together to be quickly connected and locked together, so as to prevent the stacked steel structure container bodies 1 from sliding and tipping over due to external factors during transportation.
[0027] The specific operating principle of the connecting locking mechanism 2 in conjunction with the steel structure container body 1 is as follows:
[0028] After one steel structure container body 1 is hoisted and placed on top of another steel structure container body 1 using hoisting equipment, the positioning plates 7 on the top surface of the concave seats 6 installed on both sides of the lower steel structure container body 1 are inserted into the positioning grooves 4 opened on the bottom surface of the fixing plates 3 installed on both sides of the upper steel structure container body 1. This achieves positioning and stacking of the steel structure container bodies 1 and prevents stacking deviation. Then, the concave locking plates 17 located on both sides of the lower steel structure container body 1 are flipped in reverse order. The concave locking plates 17 will flip through the second rotating holes 18 opened on the side walls along the second rotating rods 16 installed on both sides of the movable plate 13 until the concave locking plates 17 are flipped to an inverted state. Then, the knob 12 located on the bottom surface of the concave seat 6 is rotated. The knob 12 will drive the first rotating rod 11 to rotate in the first rotating hole 8 opened on the bottom surface of the concave seat 6. The screw 10 will rotate, causing the movable plate 13 to move downwards along the screw 10 through the screw hole 14 on the top surface. During the movement, the slider 15 installed on the inner side wall of the movable plate 13 will slide in the vertical sliding opening 9 on the inner side wall of the concave seat 6. The second rotating rods 16 on both sides will drive the concave locking plate 17 to move downwards synchronously until the horizontal part of the concave locking plate 17, which is in an inverted state, is locked into the limiting opening 5 on the bottom surface of the upper fixed plate 3, and the knob 12 can no longer be turned. This achieves the purpose of quickly connecting and locking adjacent steel structure container bodies 1 after stacking, so as to avoid the problem of shaking and falling during the transportation of steel structure container bodies 1, and prevent unnecessary safety hazards. This not only ensures the safety of transporting steel structure container bodies 1, but also brings convenience to the stacking and transportation operation of steel structure container bodies 1.
[0029] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other modifications under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. These modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
