Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of this utility model belong to the field of folding container house technology, and more specifically, relate to a modular container house assembly folding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Foldable container houses are characterized by their convenient transportation, quick assembly, and high space utilization. They can be self-loaded onto trailers equipped with lifting mechanisms; forklifts on the left, right, front, and back allow for easy movement with the cooperation of trailers and manual labor. With the support of tools, 2-3 people can quickly assemble a 3m*6m container house within 15 minutes, meeting customers' needs for warehousing, transportation, and quick office space. Compared with other warehousing equipment and simple office spaces: foldable containers save construction time and reduce time costs; foldable containers can be reused, saving material costs; foldable containers save manpower; and they provide customers with greater convenience.
[0003] Folding houses have their advantages, but also certain technical limitations. Currently, the mainstream folding container houses on the market are mainly of two types: "Z" folding and waist folding. Waist folding containers have disadvantages such as poor wall panel load-bearing capacity, poor airtightness, and poor waterproofing. While "Z" folding containers are superior to waist folding containers in terms of wall panel load-bearing capacity, airtightness, and waterproofing, their folding mechanism relies on a sliding rail system, which suffers from problems such as rail deformation and non-modularity. Commercially available "Z" folding containers incorporate a guide rail and pulley mechanism into their folding mechanism, increasing the complexity of the entire system and making maintenance and operation more difficult.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a modular container assembly folding mechanism that can transform ordinary wall panels into foldable wall panels while keeping the structural parameters of the bottom and side panels of the standard container unchanged. This retains the stability of the standard container and adds its foldable characteristics, making it more adaptable to the needs of different environments and usage scenarios.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the connecting plate is rotatably positioned within the second hinge groove via a pin.
[0010] Furthermore, one end of the first rotating rod is fixedly disposed in the first through hole, which includes a first bushing and a first bearing; one end of the first bushing passes through the first through hole and is threadedly connected to the nut, thereby being fixed as a whole with the connecting plate, and the inner ring of the first bearing is sleeved and fixed to the other end of the first bushing.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the first bearing contacts the top of the side beam, and its other end extends beyond the outside of the side beam.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a modular prefabricated folding mechanism for a container house. The folding mechanism has four sets, which are located at the four corners of the top of the container house. It includes a hinge plate 2 with one end hinged to the outside of the wall panel module 12, and a connecting plate 3 with the other end of the hinge plate 2 hinged to the lower end; a first rotating rod 5 and a second rotating rod 6 are sequentially arranged on the upper end of the connecting plate 3, and a limiting slider 7 is arranged on the other end of the first rotating rod 5; wherein, the first rotating rod 5 is located on the top of the side beam 111, the second rotating rod 6 is located below the wing plate 112, and the limiting slider 7 is located on the outside of the side beam 111 provided at the bottom of the top plate module 11. The folding mechanism of this utility model utilizes the wing plate 112 of the existing container structure for vertical positioning and uses the side beam 111 as a slide rail. By pushing the wall panel module 12 downward, the hinge plate 2, which is hinged to the wall panel module 12, drives the connecting plate 3 to move forward. The wing plate 112 blocks and limits the second rotating rod 6, causing the first rotating rod 5 to slide along the top of the side beam 111, thereby reducing the angle between the top plate module 11 and the wall panel module 12. This allows the top plate module 11 to move downward, thus completing the folding operation. This folding mechanism eliminates the need for guide rail design and installation in traditional folding boxes. It combines the beam structure of the container itself for folding, saving material costs, with a simple processing technology and convenient operation.
[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the container house is a common modular standard container commonly found in the market, including a bottom plate module 14 at the bottom, wall panel modules 12 hinged to the top two ends of the bottom plate module 14, side plate modules 13 hinged to the top two sides of the bottom plate module 14, and a top plate module 11 located on top of the side plate modules 13 and the wall panel modules 12. The wall panel modules 12 have columns 121 on both sides to increase structural strength, and the top plate modules 11 have side beams 111 on both sides of the bottom to further enhance structural strength. The side beams 111 have wing plates 112 on their inner sides for later decoration.
[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, the hinge plate 2 is a plate-shaped structure with a first hinge groove and a second hinge groove respectively opened at the middle of both ends, which are used to hinge the column 121 and the connecting plate 3, thereby adjusting the included angle between the top plate module 11 and the wall plate module 12, so that when the top of the wall plate module 12 is tilted, it slides towards the center of the top plate module 11, thus successfully completing the folding operation.
[0028] When one end of the hinge plate 2 is hinged to the column 121, a fixing plate 8 is hinged in the first hinge groove by a pin 4, and the other end of the fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the column 121 by bolts.
[0029] The lower end of the connecting plate 3 is rotatably mounted in the second hinge groove via a pin 4, and the upper end of the connecting plate 3 is sequentially provided with a first through hole and a second through hole.
[0030] One end of the first rotating rod 5 is fixedly disposed in the first through hole, which includes a first bushing 51 and a first bearing 52. One end of the first bushing 51 passes through the first through hole and is threadedly connected to a nut, thereby fixing it as a whole with the connecting plate 3. The inner ring of the first bearing 52 is sleeved and fixed to the other end of the first bushing 51. Furthermore, the bottom of the first bearing 52 contacts the top of the side beam 111 and can roll along the side beam 111 to reduce the friction during sliding, so that the folding operation can be carried out more smoothly, while limiting the downward displacement of the first bearing 52. Furthermore, the other end of the first bearing 52 extends beyond the outside of the side beam 111 and works with the limiting slider 7 to perform lateral limiting operation to prevent the top plate module 11 from shifting laterally during the folding operation.
[0031] One end of the second rotating rod 6 is fixedly disposed in the second through hole, which includes a second bushing and a second bearing. One end of the second bushing passes through the second through hole and is threadedly connected to a nut, thereby fixing it as a whole with the connecting plate 3. The inner ring of the second bearing is sleeved and fixed to the other end of the second bushing. Furthermore, the top of the second bearing contacts the bottom of the wing plate 112, restricting the upward movement of the second bearing. Furthermore, the other end of the second bearing contacts the inner side of the side beam 111, restricting the outward displacement of the second bearing.
[0032] The limiting slider 7 is sleeved and fixed to the other end of the first bearing 52, with its inner side contacting the outer side of the side beam 111, and the other end of the second bearing contacting the inner side of the side beam 111. During the folding operation, it can effectively limit the lateral translation of the top plate module 11. Preferably, the limiting slider 7 is a disc-shaped structure.
[0033] In this embodiment of the utility model, when the folding mechanism is installed, holes are made at the corresponding positions on the upper outer side of the column 121 on the existing modular container foundation, and the fixing plate 8 is fixed with bolts; the first hinge slot of the hinge plate 2 is aligned with the other end of the fixing plate 8, and the hinge plate 2 and the fixing plate 8 are hinged with a pin 4; the connecting plate 3 is aligned with the second hinge slot, and the hinge plate 2 and the connecting plate 3 are hinged with a pin 4; the connecting plate 3 is rotated so that its first through hole and second through hole are located at the top and bottom of the wing plate 112 respectively; the inner side of the limiting slider 7 is fixedly connected to the first bearing 52; after completion, the first bushing 51 is passed through the first through hole and threadedly connected to the nut, thereby fixing the first rotating rod 51 and the connecting plate 3 as one unit, at which time the first bearing 52 is located at the top of the side beam 111; one end of the second bushing is passed through the second through hole and threadedly connected to the nut, thereby fixing it as one unit with the connecting plate 3, at which time the other end of the second bearing contacts the inner side of the side beam 111, completing the installation of the folding mechanism.
[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, when the modular container house is folded after the prefabricated folding mechanism is installed, the connecting bolts between the top plate module 11 and the wall plate module 12 are removed, and the wall plate module 12 is pushed to tilt inward. At this time, the first bearing 52 slides towards the center of the top plate module 11 with the side beam 111 as the slide rail. At the same time, the vertical movement of the first rotating rod 5 and the second rotating rod 6 is restricted by the wing plate 112. The side beam 111 contacts the second bearing and the limiting slider 7 on both sides respectively, which restricts the lateral displacement of the first bearing 52 when it slides, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the folding operation.
[0035] The folding mechanism of this utility model, when applied to modular container houses, can transform ordinary container house structures into folding containers. Its parts can be standardized according to different container houses, and it can be mass-produced as a standard product. The structure is sturdy and stable, eliminating the need for guide rail design and installation of traditional folding containers. It is folded in conjunction with the beam structure of the container house itself, saving material costs, with simple processing technology and convenient operation.
[0036] The folding mechanism of this utility model has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has high strength. It can effectively fold the components. It uses the side beams of the container as guide rails, and the strength of the side beams is higher than that of guide rails on the market, which effectively avoids material loss of components during use.
[0037] When applied to modular container houses, the folding mechanism of this invention can transform ordinary container house structures into folding containers, allowing modular container houses to be folded and packaged as a whole, improving loading efficiency and space utilization, avoiding resource waste, and ensuring that materials arrive on site at the same time, thus speeding up on-site installation.
