DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Other advantages and effects of the present application can be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present specification. The present application can also be implemented or applied in other different specific embodiments, and various modifications or changes can be made to the details in the present specification without departing from the spirit of the present application. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0025] It should be noted that the drawings provided in the following embodiments only schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present application, and only the components related to the present application are shown in the drawings, rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. The shape, number and proportion of each component in actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout pattern of the components can also be more complex.

[0026] In combination with the drawings shown, Figures 1 to 6 The present embodiment proposes a container structure, which comprises a container body 1, a roller shutter box 2 and a drain pipe 3. The container body 1 is provided with a drain hole 101. The roller shutter box 2 is connected to the container body 1, and is used to accommodate a roller shutter. The drain pipe 3 comprises a pipe body 31 and a first joint 32 which are of an integral structure. The pipe body 31 is connected to the roller shutter box 2 and communicates with the box body of the roller shutter box 2. The first joint 32 is clamped in the drain hole 101.

[0027] In the embodiment, when the curtain box 2 is installed in the cargo box body 1, one end of the pipe body 31 can be connected with the curtain box 2 and communicated with the box body of the curtain box 2, and the other end of the pipe body 31 is clamped to the drain hole 101 and the cargo box body 1 through the first connector 32. At this time, the curtain box 2 can drain the water in the box to the outside of the cargo box body 1 through the drain pipe 3. In addition, the gap between the pipe body 31 and the hole wall of the drain hole 101 is filled by the first connector 32, which is beneficial to reduce the probability of rainwater flowing into the cargo box body 1 along the gap between the drain pipe 3 and the cargo box body 1, so as to improve the sealing performance of the cargo box structure. In addition, the pipe body 31 and the first connector 32 are in an integrated structure, so that there is no dynamic gap between the pipe body 31 and the first connector 32, which avoids the rainwater flowing into the cargo box body 1 along the dynamic gap between the pipe body 31 and the first connector 32 when the vehicle is running, so as to improve the sealing performance of the cargo box structure.

[0028] In the embodiment, the drain pipe 3 is connected with the curtain box 2 through the first connector 32, and the first connector 32 is connected with the drain hole 101 in the cargo box body 1. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the pipe body 31 is in an “arc structure”, and the curved pipe body 31 is beneficial to reduce the risk of bending and damage of the pipe body 31, thereby effectively prolonging the service life of the drain pipe 3.

[0029] As shown in the figure, the first connector 32 is provided with a clamping groove 301, and the clamping groove 301 is arranged around the circumference of the first connector 32. The cargo box body 1 includes a cargo box panel, and the drain hole 101 is located in the cargo box panel. The cargo box panel is clamped in the clamping groove 301, and part of the first connector 32 is located in the drain hole 101. Figure 1 Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the first connector 32 is provided with a clamping groove 301, and the clamping groove 301 is arranged around the circumference of the first connector 32. The cargo box body 1 includes a cargo box panel, and the drain hole 101 is located in the cargo box panel. The cargo box panel is clamped in the clamping groove 301, and part of the first connector 32 is located in the drain hole 101.

[0030] In the embodiment, when the drain pipe 3 is connected with the cargo box panel, the cargo box panel is clamped in the clamping groove 301 of the first connector 32, and part of the first connector 32 is located in the drain hole 101, so as to ensure that the drain pipe 3 and the cargo box panel can be tightly connected, which is beneficial to reduce the probability of rainwater flowing into the cargo box along the gap between the drain pipe 3 and the cargo box body 1.

[0031] In the embodiment, the cargo box body 1 includes a first side plate 11, a second side plate 12, a third side plate 13, a fourth side plate, and a bottom plate 14. The first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 are oppositely arranged along the wheel track direction of the vehicle, and the third side plate 13 and the fourth side plate are oppositely arranged along the wheelbase direction of the vehicle. The third side plate 13, the fourth side plate, and the bottom plate 14 are all connected between the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12, and the bottom plate 14 is connected between the third side plate 13 and the fourth side plate.

[0032] In the embodiment, the drain hole 101 is located in the bottom plate 14. Of course, in other embodiments, the drain hole 101 can be located in one of the first side plate 11, the second side plate 12, and the third side plate 13.

[0033] In the embodiment, the drain pipe 3 is connected with the curtain box 2 through the first connector 32, and the first connector 32 is connected with the drain hole 101 in the cargo box body 1.​Figure 6 As shown, the first joint 32 comprises a first connecting section 321, a second connecting section 322 and a third connecting section 323, the second connecting section 322 is connected between the first connecting section 321 and the third connecting section 323, and the third connecting section 323 is connected with the pipe body 31 at an end away from the second connecting section 322; the outer diameter of the third connecting section 323 is greater than that of the first connecting section 321, and the outer diameter of the first connecting section 321 is greater than that of the second connecting section 322; the container panel is located between the first connecting section 321 and the third connecting section 323, and the second connecting section 322 is located in the drain hole 101.

[0034] It should be understood that, since the outer diameter of the third connecting section 323 is greater than that of the first connecting section 321, and the outer diameter of the first connecting section 321 is greater than that of the second connecting section 322, therefore, the outer diameter of the third connecting section 323 is also greater than that of the second connecting section 322.

[0035] In the embodiment, the outer diameter of the first connecting section 321 and the outer diameter of the third connecting section 323 are both greater than that of the second connecting section 322, so that when the drain pipe 3 is connected with the container panel, the container panel can be clamped between the first connecting section 321 and the third connecting section 323 to limit the installation of the container panel. In addition, since the outer diameter of the third connecting section 323 is greater than that of the second connecting section 322, and the third connecting section 323 is connected with the pipe body 31, therefore, after the drain pipe 3 is connected with the container panel, the third connecting section 323 can shield the drain hole 101, which is beneficial to improve the appearance of the container structure.

[0036] It should be understood that the outer diameter of the second connecting section 322 should be slightly larger than the diameter of the drain hole 101 to ensure the tightness of the connection between the first joint 32 and the container panel.

[0037] In the embodiment, in combination with Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting section 321 has a "V-shaped structure", that is, the outer diameter of the first connecting section 321 gradually decreases along the third connecting section 323 towards the first connecting section 321.

[0038] In the embodiment, when the first connecting section 321 passes through the drain hole 101, since the outer diameter of the first connecting section 321 gradually decreases along the third connecting section 323 towards the first connecting section 321, therefore, the first connecting section 321 has a certain guiding effect, which is beneficial to reduce the resistance of the first connecting section 321 passing through the drain hole 101, so as to facilitate the user to perform the installation operation.

[0039] In combination with Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting section 321 is provided with a notch 302, and the notch 302 is arranged away from the second connecting section 322.

[0040] In the embodiment, the notch 302 is in a "U-shaped structure", and the opening of the "U-shaped structure" is arranged to face away from the second connecting section 322.

[0041] It should be understood that, since the outer diameter of the first connecting section 321 is larger than the outer diameter of the second connecting section 322, when the first connecting section 321 passes through the drain hole 101, the first connecting section 321 needs to be extruded and deformed to complete the installation of the first joint 32 and the box panel.

[0042] In the embodiment, when the first connecting section 321 passes through the drain hole 101, the arrangement of the notch 302 makes the first connecting section 321 more easily extruded and deformed by the hole wall of the drain hole 101, so as to reduce the outer diameter of the first connecting section 321, which is beneficial to reduce the resistance of the first connecting section 321 passing through the drain hole 101, and thus more conveniently install the first joint 32 and the box panel.

[0043] In combination with Figure 3 and Figure 6 , it is shown that the first connecting section 321 is provided with a plurality of mutually spaced notches 302, the plurality of notches 302 are arranged around the circumference of the first connecting section 321, and the spacing between adjacent two notches 302 is equal.

[0044] In the embodiment, the first connecting section 321 is provided with four mutually spaced notches 302, and the spacing is equal. When the first connecting section 321 passes through the drain hole 101, the four uniformly arranged notches 302 make the first connecting section 321 more uniformly deformed, so as to further reduce the outer diameter of the first connecting section 321, and thus more smoothly pass the first connecting section 321 through the drain hole 101, and improve the installation efficiency of the first joint 32 and the box panel.

[0045] In other embodiments, the number of notches 302 can be two, three, five, etc., which can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0046] In combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 , it is shown that the drain pipe 3 further includes a second joint 33, the second joint 33 is connected between the pipe body 31 and the roller shutter box 2, and the second joint 33 is communicated with the box body of the roller shutter box 2; wherein the inner diameter of the second joint 33 is larger than the inner diameter of the pipe body 31.

[0047] In the embodiment, the box body of the roller shutter box 2 is provided with a drainage joint for drainage, and the second joint 33 is sleeved on the drainage joint. When the drainage joint is installed in the second joint 33, since the inner diameter of the second joint 33 is larger than the inner diameter of the pipe body 31, the drainage joint can only be installed in the second joint 33 to limit the installation position of the drainage joint. In addition, the second joint 33 and the drainage joint also need to be locked by buckling to ensure the tightness of the connection between the second joint 33 and the drainage joint.

[0048] For example, the buckling can be made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel.

[0049] It should be understood that the outer diameter of the drainage joint should be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the second joint 33 to ensure the stability of the connection between the drainage joint and the second joint 33.

[0050] In the embodiment, the pipe body 31, the first joint 32 and the second joint 33 are an integral rubber structure, which can be processed by only one set of molds, thereby reducing the cost. The rubber is EPDM rubber, and the vulcanization treatment is added, which has good elasticity, aging resistance and chemical resistance, and can meet the daily drainage use conditions of the roller shutter box 2.

[0051] In combination with Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the inner surface of the second joint 33 is provided with a groove 303, and the groove 303 is arranged around the circumference of the second joint 33.

[0052] In the embodiment, the second joint 33 includes an inner surface and an outer surface, and the inner surface is connected with the drainage joint. The drainage joint is provided with a protrusion matched with the groove 303 for connecting with the groove 303. The drainage joint is installed in the second joint 33, and the protrusion is located in the groove 303, which is beneficial to increase the stability of the connection between the second joint 33 and the drainage joint, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the drainage pipe 3 and the roller shutter box 2, and reducing the risk of water seepage of the drainage pipe 3.

[0053] It should be understood that the "protrusion matched with the groove 303" means that the shape, size and number of the protrusion are matched with the groove 303.

[0054] Further, the inner surface of the second joint 33 is provided with a plurality of grooves 303, and the plurality of grooves 303 are arranged at intervals.

[0055] In the embodiment, the inner surface of the second joint 33 is provided with two grooves 303, and the two grooves 303 are arranged at intervals. The drainage joint is provided with two protrusions, and the two protrusions are arranged at intervals. The two grooves 303 and the two protrusions are connected one by one, so that the connection between the second joint 33 and the drainage joint is more stable, thereby further increasing the stability of the connection between the drainage pipe 3 and the roller shutter box 2, and further reducing the risk of water seepage of the drainage pipe 3.

[0056] In other embodiments, the number of recesses 303 can be three, four, etc., and can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0057] The embodiment also provides a vehicle, which comprises a vehicle frame and the above-mentioned container structure, and the container structure is connected to the vehicle frame.

[0058] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments for fully illustrating the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or transformations made by those skilled in the art based on the present application are within the protection scope of the present application.
