[0002] In the field of modern logistics and transportation, multimodal container transport has become one of the important modes of transportation due to its advantages such as efficiency, convenience, and safety. Multimodal container semi-trailers, as key equipment for realizing multimodal container transport, play a vital role in the transshipment and transportation of goods.
[0003] With the continuous growth of global trade and the increasing diversification of logistics and transportation demands, higher requirements are being placed on the performance and reliability of multimodal container semi-trailers. In actual transportation, containers are exposed to the external environment for extended periods, facing various weather conditions, among which rainwater intrusion is a significant issue. Rainwater may seep into the container, causing goods to become damp and damaged, resulting in economic losses for cargo owners and transportation companies.
[0004] Currently, the rain protection features of multimodal container semi-trailers on the market are somewhat inadequate. Some semi-trailers use relatively simple rain protection measures, such as simply installing traditional tarpaulins. When it rains, the driver needs to manually cover the tarpaulin, which wastes a lot of time and is cumbersome, making it impossible to quickly provide rain protection.
[0005] Therefore, a multimodal container transport semi-trailer is proposed to address the above issues. Utility Model Content

A hydraulic rod is provided above the bracket, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod is connected to the adjustment frame. A rainwater drainage assembly is installed on the surface of the container body.
[0009] Preferably, fixed plates are symmetrically installed on the surface of the container body, and guide rods are slidably connected in the through holes opened on the surface of the adjustment frame.

[0025] 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.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a multimodal transport container semi-trailer, including a semi-trailer body 1, a container body 12 installed on the surface of the semi-trailer body 1, and a rain cover component 2 installed on the surface of the container body 12.
[0027] The rain shelter assembly 2 includes a bracket 21. The bracket 21 is symmetrically installed on one side surface of the container body 12. A connecting plate 22 is provided on the top of the container body 12. A support plate 23 is provided on one side surface of the connecting plate 22. A folding rain shelter 24 is installed between the connecting plate 22 and the support plate 23. An adjusting frame 25 is symmetrically installed on the surface of the support plate 23. A hydraulic rod 26 is provided on the top of the bracket 21. The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 26 is connected to the adjusting frame 25. A rainwater drainage assembly 3 is installed on the surface of the container body 12. This allows the driver to easily unfold and fold the folding rain shelter 24, avoiding the need for the driver to manually cover the folding rain shelter 24 during rain. This further improves the efficiency of covering the folding rain shelter 24, enabling the folding rain shelter 24 to be quickly unfolded to cover the container body 12.
[0028] Specifically, fixed plates 27 are symmetrically installed on the surface of the container body 12, and guide rods 28 are slidably connected in the through holes opened on the surface of the adjustment frame 25. Both ends of the guide rods 28 pass through the adjustment frame 25 and are connected to the two fixed plates 27 respectively. The guide rods 28 guide the movement of the adjustment frame 25 to prevent the adjustment frame 25 from shifting position during movement, which would affect the unfolding effect of the folding rain shelter 24.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the unfolded length of the folding rain shelter 24 is adapted to the length of the container body 12, and can completely cover the container body 12 for rain protection.
[0030] Furthermore, a rain shield 29 is installed at the top of the bracket 21. The hydraulic rod 26 is connected to the rain shield 29, and the rain shield 29 is connected to the connecting plate 22. The rain shield 29 can protect the hydraulic rod 26 from rain, preventing rainwater from dripping directly onto the surface of the hydraulic rod 26. Long-term use of rainwater will reduce the lifespan of the hydraulic rod 26.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the rainwater drainage assembly 3 includes a rainwater drainage plate 31, which is installed between two adjusting frames 25 and is attached to the upper surface of the container body 12.
[0032] A rain-pushing plate 32 is installed at one end of the rain drain plate 31. The rain-pushing plate 32 is tightly attached to the upper surface of the container body 12, so as to drain the rainwater dripping and the rainwater accumulated on the container body 12, and prevent rainwater from accumulating on the surface of the container body 12, which would cause the container body 12 to rust and other problems after long-term use.
[0033] Furthermore, both the rain drain plate 31 and the rain pusher plate 32 are designed with a "sloping structure". The guide plate 33 will guide the rainwater to be discharged further, preventing rainwater from accumulating on the container body 12.
[0034] It is worth noting that a guide plate 33 is installed between the two fixed plates 27, and the guide plate 33 is set in a "sloping structure".
[0035] The structures such as the electric telescopic pole are existing technology and will not be described in detail. Additionally, this utility model also includes a power supply, controller, and switch, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail. The wiring diagram of the motor in this utility model is common knowledge in the field, and its working principle is already known technology. The appropriate model should be selected based on actual use; therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the motor will not be explained in detail.
[0036] Working principle and process: When it is necessary to shelter the container body 12 from rain, the hydraulic rod 26 on the rain shelter 29 is activated first. During rain, the rain shelter 29 can shield the hydraulic rod 26 from rain, preventing rainwater from dripping directly onto its surface. Long-term use with rainwater will reduce the lifespan of the hydraulic rod 26. At this time, the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 26 pushes the adjusting frame 25. The adjusting frame 25 slides along the guide rod 28. Because the two ends of the guide rod 28 are connected to the fixed plate 27 and pass through the through holes on the surface of the adjusting frame 25, the guide rod 28 guides the movement of the adjusting frame 25, preventing the adjusting frame 25 from shifting position during movement, which would affect the unfolding effect of the folding rain shelter 24. During the movement of the adjusting frame 25, the support plate 23 moves as the support plate moves. As the support plate 23 moves continuously, it drives the folding rain shelter 24 to unfold. Since the unfolded length of the folding rain shelter 24 is adapted to the length of the container body 12, it can completely cover the container body 12 for rain protection. When rain protection is not needed, the hydraulic rod 26 is activated again to retract its telescopic end, pulling the adjusting frame 25 to move in the opposite direction. The adjusting frame 25 drives the support plate 23 to move back, and the folding rain shelter 24 is folded up accordingly. This allows the driver to easily unfold and fold the folding rain shelter 24, avoiding the need for the driver to manually cover the folding rain shelter 24 during rain. This further improves the working efficiency of covering the folding rain shelter 24, enabling the folding rain shelter 24 to be quickly unfolded to cover the container body 12.
[0037] When the folded rain shelter 24 is in the unfolded state, if rainwater falls on the container body 12, the adjusting frame 25 moves continuously, causing the rain drain plate 31 and the rain pusher plate 32 to slide on the container body 12. The rainwater then flows down the rain drain plate 31, and the rain pusher plate 32 pushes the rainwater accumulated on the container body 12 out. Since both the rain drain plate 31 and the rain pusher plate 32 are designed with a "sloping structure", the rainwater will flow down the rain drain plate 31, and the rain pusher plate 32 will push the rainwater to the other side of the container body 12, thus pushing the rainwater out. At the same time, the guide plate 33 with a "sloping structure" installed between the two fixed plates 27 will guide the rainwater to be discharged further, preventing rainwater from accumulating on the container body 12.
