Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of transport box technology, and in particular to a transport box for placing heavy transformers. Background Technology

[0002] Due to globalization, some heavy-duty transformers need to be shipped to distant ocean regions such as West Asia, North America and South America. The transportation method is generally sea freight, which takes one to two months of long-distance ocean transport.

[0003] During sea transport, there are dangers such as wind, waves, and prolonged turbulence. Existing shipping containers may deform or even collapse due to uneven weight distribution, and internal transformers may shift or collide. Furthermore, existing shipping containers do not make full use of the space inside the container, and the rental fees for ocean-going containers are high. If the space of the container cannot be fully utilized, it will be a considerable waste.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a transport container for placing heavy transformers, which can securely fix the transformers and make full use of the space inside the container. This has become an important technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a transport box for placing heavy transformers, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art where transport boxes may deform or even collapse due to uneven load-bearing, and the utilization rate of the space inside the container is insufficient.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a transport box for placing heavy transformers, comprising: a top plate; two side panels connected to the top plate; two end panels connected to the top plate; a bottom plate connected to the side panels and the end panels, on which the transformer is placed; a bottom support plate disposed on the side of the bottom plate facing the top plate; and multiple bottom support bars spaced apart on the side of the bottom plate facing the top plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the system further includes: a positioning separator strip disposed on the side of the bottom plate facing the top plate, the positioning separator strip being connected to the bottom support plate, and the positioning separator strip being connected to the bottom support strip; and two positioning blocks disposed on the lateral sides of the positioning separator strip, the positioning blocks being at least partially in contact with the transformer.

[0008] In some embodiments, the system further includes: a plurality of top support strips spaced apart on the side of the top plate facing the bottom plate; and a plurality of skids spaced apart on the side of the bottom plate away from the top plate, with one skid aligned laterally with a top support strip.

[0009] In some embodiments, the panel further includes: a plurality of side support strips, the plurality of side support strips being spaced apart on the side panel, the top end of the side support strips contacting the top plate, the bottom end of the side support strips contacting the bottom plate, and some of the side support strips being connected to the end panel.

[0010] In some embodiments, the device further includes: multiple end-face vertical support strips, which are spaced apart on the end panel; and multiple end-face horizontal support strips, which are spaced apart on the end panel near the top of the end panel, with two adjacent end-face horizontal support strips and one end-face vertical support strip forming a mounting cavity, and the top support strip portion located within the mounting cavity.

[0011] In some embodiments, it further includes: a flared end, which is disposed at one end of the end face vertical support strip facing the end face horizontal support strip.

[0012] This application proposes a transport box for placing heavy transformers, comprising: a top plate, two side panels, two end panels, a bottom plate, a bottom support plate, and multiple bottom support bars. The two side panels are connected to the top plate; the two end panels are connected to the top plate; the bottom plate is connected to the side panels and the end panels, and the transformer is placed on the bottom plate; the bottom support plate is located on the side of the bottom plate facing the top plate; and the multiple bottom support bars are spaced apart on the side of the bottom plate facing the top plate. During the assembly of the transport box, the bottom support plate and multiple bottom support bars are first installed on the bottom plate, and the transformer can then be placed on the bottom plate. Next, the side panels and end panels are sequentially installed on the bottom plate, and finally the top plate is installed, forming the transformer transport box. The transformer transport boxes can be stacked within a container to improve the utilization of the container's space. The resulting transport box also provides good protection for the transformer, ensuring that the transformer will not be damaged during transportation. By setting up a bottom support plate and bottom support strip, the structural strength of the bottom plate can be effectively enhanced, ensuring that the bottom plate will not be damaged under the weight of the transformer, and enhancing the protective effect of the transport box on the transformer.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this application proposes a transport box for placing heavy transformers, comprising: a top plate 4; two side panels 5 connected to the top plate 4; two end panels 1 connected to the top plate 4; a bottom plate 3 connected to the side panels 5 and the end panels 1, on which a transformer 6 is placed; a bottom support plate 12 disposed on the side of the bottom plate 3 facing the top plate 4; and multiple bottom support bars 9 spaced apart on the side of the bottom plate 3 facing the top plate 4.

[0026] The base plate 3 serves as the structural foundation for the transport box containing the heavy transformer 6. The transformer 6 is first placed on the base plate 3, and then the side panels 5, end panels 1, and top plate 4 are installed directly or indirectly onto the base plate 3 to form the transport box for the transformer 6. The bottom support plate 12 and bottom support strip 9 are core components of the transport box containing the heavy transformer 6. They are installed on the base plate 3 or integrally formed with it, significantly improving the structural rigidity of the base plate 3 and preventing deformation under the weight of the transformer 6.

[0027] Specifically, during the assembly of the transport box, the bottom support plate 12 and multiple bottom support bars 9 are first installed onto the bottom plate 3, allowing the transformer 6 to be placed on it. Then, the side panels 5 and end panels 1 are sequentially installed onto the bottom plate 3, and finally the top plate 4 is installed, forming the transport box for the transformer 6. The transport boxes for the transformer 6 can be stacked efficiently within the container, maximizing space utilization. The resulting transport box also provides good protection for the transformer 6, ensuring it is not damaged during transport. By installing the bottom support plate 12 and bottom support bars 9, the structural strength of the bottom plate 3 is effectively enhanced, ensuring it will not be damaged under the weight of the transformer 6, thus strengthening the protective effect of the transport box on the transformer 6.

[0028] In detail, the base plate 3 bears the greatest destructive force during transportation. This application employs not only bottom support strips 9 but also bottom support plates 12. The bottom support plates 12, compared to the bottom support strips 9, better enhance the structural strength of the base plate 3. By simultaneously using both bottom support strips 9 and bottom support plates 12, cost savings can be achieved while maximizing the structural strength of the base plate 3. The bottom support plates 12 are preferably distributed in the middle of the base plate 3, and the bottom support strips 9 are evenly arranged on both longitudinal sides of the bottom support plates 12. The width of the base plate 3 is transverse, its length is longitudinal, and its height is vertical.

[0029] The top plate 4, side panels 5, end panels 1, bottom plate 3, bottom support plate 12, and bottom support strip 9 are all made of solid wood. Solid wood provides the transport box with good mechanical properties, and it also reduces the risk of damage to the internal transformer 6 during transport due to bumps and jolting. The outer surface of the transport box, composed of the top plate 4, side panels 5, end panels 1, and bottom plate 3, is coated with a protective coating, preferably a polyester film, to enhance its corrosion resistance.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the system further includes: a positioning partition strip 13, which is disposed on the side of the base plate 3 facing the top plate 4; the positioning partition strip 13 is connected to the bottom support plate 12 and the bottom support strip 9; the positioning partition strip 13 divides the base plate 3 into two areas for placing two transformers 6, each area having a bottom support plate 12 and a bottom support strip 9 to ensure the structural strength of the base plate 3 in its respective area; by connecting the bottom support plate 12 and the bottom support strip 9 in the two areas respectively through the positioning partition strip 13, the structural strength of the base plate 3 can be better enhanced; and two positioning blocks 10, which are disposed on both sides of the positioning partition strip 13 laterally, with the positioning blocks 10 at least partially contacting the transformers 6. The positioning blocks 10 are used to abut against the transformers 6, thereby defining the installation position of the transformers 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, the shape and size of the positioning block 10 need to be designed according to the transformer 6. Preferably, the positioning block 10 is a rectangular block, one side of the positioning block 10 abuts against the transformer 6, and the positioning block 10 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions. The positioning protrusions are used to insert into the connection hole of the transformer 6, further enhancing the positioning ability of the positioning block 10 for the transformer 6.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the system further includes: multiple top support strips 8, spaced apart on the side of the top plate 4 facing the bottom plate 3; the top support strips 8 are used to enhance the structural strength of the top plate 4; and multiple skids 2, spaced apart on the side of the bottom plate 3 away from the top plate 4, with one skid 2 aligned laterally with one top support strip 8. The multiple skids 2 can further enhance the structural strength of the bottom plate 3, preventing damage during bumps. Furthermore, the number of skids 2 is the same as the number of top support strips 8, and the lateral positions of the skids 2 correspond one-to-one with the top support strips 8. When two or more transport boxes are stacked vertically, the weight of the upper transport box is mainly transferred to the top support strips 8 of the lower transport box's top plate 4 through the skids 2. By ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between the top support strips 8 and the skids 2, damage to the top plate 4 of the lower transport box under the weight of the upper transport box can be effectively prevented.

[0033] In this embodiment, the side panel 5 is higher than the end panel 1, and the bottom end of the side panel 5 is flush with the bottom end of the skid 2, so that the skid 2 and the top support strip 8 on different transport boxes can be easily aligned during the stacking of transport boxes.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the panel further includes: multiple side support strips 7, which are spaced apart on the side panel 5. The top ends of the side support strips 7 contact the top plate 4, and the bottom ends of the side support strips 7 contact the bottom plate 3. Some of the side support strips 7 are connected to the end panel 1. The side support strips 7 are used to enhance the structural strength of the side panel 5. The side panel 5 is connected to the end panel 1 through the outermost side support strips 7, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the side panel 5 and the end panel 1.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: multiple transverse end-face support bars 15 and multiple vertical end-face support bars 11 spaced apart on the end panel 1; the vertical end-face support bars 11 can effectively enhance the structural strength of the end panel 1; the multiple transverse end-face support bars 15 are spaced apart near the top of the end panel 1, and the top of the transverse end-face support bars 15 is flush with the top of the end panel 1; the arrangement of the multiple transverse end-face support bars 15 is as follows: the first transverse end-face support bar 15 starts from the position near the left end face of the end panel 1. Starting from the first vertical support bar 11, the second horizontal support bar 15 extends from the right side of the first vertical support bar 11 to the left side of the second vertical support bar 11. Multiple horizontal support bars 15 are arranged sequentially according to this pattern, with the last horizontal support bar 15 extending to a position close to the right side of the end panel 1. Two adjacent horizontal support bars 15 and one vertical support bar 11 enclose a mounting cavity 16, with the top support bar 8 partially located within the mounting cavity 16. The weight of the upper transport box is transferred from the skid 2 to the top support bar 8, and then through the horizontal support bars 15 to the bottom plate 3, effectively preventing damage to the lower transport box.

[0036] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes a flared end 17, which is disposed at one end of the end face vertical support strip 11 facing the end face transverse support strip 15. The flared end 17 is used to enhance the structural strength of the end of the end face vertical support strip 11, making it less susceptible to damage under the pressure transmitted from the top support strip 8.

[0037] In this application, the connection between different components is mostly done by nailing. Of course, other connection methods can also be used, and no specific limitation is made here. When nailing is used as the connection method, more nails can be driven into the necessary places to enhance the connection strength.

[0038] The above description is only a part or preferred embodiment of this application. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings under the overall concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this application.
