Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of container applications, and in particular to an automobile packing bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, car transportation typically utilizes specialized car carriers or containers. Containerized car transportation mostly involves placing cars flat inside the container and securing them to the container floor with wedges, screws, or straps. However, this method limits the use of container space, as a 40-foot container can only hold two cars, resulting in high transportation costs and low efficiency. To address this, the applicant filed an application for a car container support on June 14, 2023, and received authorization on November 14, 2023 (authorization announcement number: CN 220010835 U). However, both the high and low supports are fixed-height structures, while the length and height of cars vary across different classes, ranging from 4.1 meters to 5.2 meters for A-class to D-class vehicles. This means the original car container support is not suitable for all vehicles. Therefore, an improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive packaging bracket to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] This application discloses an automotive loading bracket, including a lifting bracket and a lowering bracket. The bottom surfaces of the lifting bracket and the lowering bracket are independently detachable from the floor of a container. The minimum height of the lifting bracket is higher than the maximum height of the lowering bracket. The top of the lifting bracket has a first limiting groove corresponding to the front wheel of the vehicle, and the top of the lowering bracket has a second limiting groove corresponding to the rear wheel of the vehicle. Both the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are V-shaped groove structures.

[0006] Furthermore, in the aforementioned car loading bracket, the lifting bracket includes two lifting side brackets and a horizontal bracket connected to the top of the side brackets. The horizontal bracket includes a first angle iron detachably mounted to the top of the corresponding side bracket and two first square steels arranged parallel between the two first angle irons, with the first limiting groove formed between the two first square steels.

[0007] Furthermore, in the aforementioned car loading bracket, the side bracket includes a horizontally arranged first base plate, a first top plate disposed above the first base plate, and two first lifting devices connected between the first base plate and the first top plate, wherein the first angle iron is detachably fixed to the first top plate.

[0009] Furthermore, in the aforementioned car mounting bracket, a first T-shaped bushing is rotatably inserted into the top end of the first support tube, the first nut is fixed to the top end of the first T-shaped bushing, and a first limiting block that slides within the first support tube is connected to the bottom end of the first screw.

[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned car loading bracket, positioning blocks corresponding to the first angle iron are respectively provided at both ends of the bottom of the first square steel.

[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned car loading bracket, several stepped blocks are respectively provided on both sides of the side bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned car loading bracket, the lifting bracket includes two liftable end brackets and two second square steel bars parallel to each other at the top of the end brackets.

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned automobile loading bracket, the end bracket includes a second base plate and a second angle iron disposed directly above the second base plate via two second lifting devices, with the two ends of the second square steel respectively welded to the corresponding second angle iron.

[0014] Furthermore, in the aforementioned car loading bracket, the second lifting device includes a vertically arranged second support tube and a second screw connected to the second support tube via a second nut. The bottom end of the second support tube is connected to the second base plate, and the top end of the second screw is connected to the second angle iron.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the structure of the fixed car bracket is simple, the car is placed at an angle inside the container, which increases the number of cars that the container can load, and the height of both the lifting and lowering brackets is adjustable, making it more flexible to use and increasing its applicability.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] For example, see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a car container mounting bracket includes a lifting bracket 1 and a lifting bracket 2. The bottom surfaces of the lifting bracket 1 and the lifting bracket 2 are independently mounted and dismounted from the floor of the container. The minimum height of the lifting bracket 1 is higher than the maximum height of the lifting bracket 2. The top of the lifting bracket 1 has a first limiting groove corresponding to the front wheel of the car, and the top of the lifting bracket 2 has a second limiting groove corresponding to the rear wheel of the car. Both the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are V-shaped groove structures.

[0027] In this technical solution, a lifting and lowering bracket is placed at one end of the container and fixed to the container floor. The lifting and lowering brackets are spaced apart. The two rear wheels of the car are secured in the second limiting groove, and the corresponding two front wheels are secured in the first limiting groove. This allows the car to be placed at an angle without affecting cars placed flat on the container floor, thus increasing the loading capacity of a single container. For different classes of cars (i.e., cars of different lengths), the lengths of the front and rear ends (excluding the front and rear wheels) vary. By adjusting the height of the lifting and lowering brackets, contact between the rear of the car and the container floor, and between the front of the car and the container top wall, is avoided. Furthermore, after the vehicle is placed on the car loading bracket, manual addition of straps is required. The appropriate height is achieved by adjusting the lifting and lowering brackets. After the operation is completed, the brackets are adjusted to their respective loading heights for ease of operation. This car-fixing bracket structure is simple, allowing the car to be placed at an angle inside the container, increasing the number of cars the container can load. The heights of both the lifting and lowering brackets are adjustable, making it more flexible and versatile.

[0028] For example, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the lifting support 1 includes two lifting side supports 11 and a horizontal support 12 connected to the top of the side supports 11. The horizontal support 12 includes a first angle iron 121 that is detached from the top of the corresponding side support 11 and two first square steels 122 that are parallel to each other between the two first angle irons 121. A first limiting groove is formed between the two first square steels 122.

[0029] In this technical solution, the two ends of the horizontal support are respectively disassembled and installed on the top of the corresponding side support. After disassembly, they are stacked together, occupying little space and facilitating recycling after use. The side supports are located at both ends of the horizontal support, which does not hinder the use of the space below the horizontal support. The first angle iron and the first square steel can be directly selected from existing specifications of angle iron and square steel, and are processed by cutting and welding. The inner side of the first square steel forms a 135° angle with the horizontal direction, that is, the adjacent sides of the two first square steels form a 90° angle. The first limiting groove is a right-angled V-shaped groove, which increases the contact area between the tire and the car and ensures the stability of the car. After the car is fixed, straps can be added between the tire and the first square steel to improve the fixing strength. Several connecting pieces are set between the two first square steels to improve the overall strength.

[0030] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the side support 11 includes a horizontally arranged first base plate 111, a first top plate 112 arranged above the first base plate 111, and two first lifting devices connected between the first base plate 111 and the first top plate 112. The first angle iron 121 is detached and fixed to the first top plate 112.

[0031] In this technical solution, the first bottom plate and the first top plate are set in parallel and are both supported by existing flat steel. Several through holes are machined in the first bottom plate and the first top plate. The first bottom plate and the first top plate can be disassembled and fixed to the container floor and the first angle iron by conventional devices such as bolts. The first angle iron also has corresponding through holes machined in it. The first lifting device adjusts the height of the first top plate.

[0032] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the first lifting device includes a vertically arranged first support tube 113 and a first screw 115 connected to the first support tube 113 by a first nut 114. The bottom end of the first support tube 113 is connected to the first base plate 111, and the top end of the first screw 115 is connected to the first top plate 112. Several reinforcing rods are arranged between the two first support tubes 113.

[0033] In this technical solution, the first support tube is a conventional seamless steel pipe, and its bottom end is welded to the corresponding first base plate. The first screw is a conventional screw or lead screw, etc. The first nut is rotatably set at the top of the first support tube. By turning the first nut with a wrench, the first screw is driven to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the first top plate, that is, adjusting the height of the horizontal support.

[0034] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, a first T-shaped bushing 116 is rotatably inserted into the top end of the first support tube 113, a first nut 114 is fixed to the top end of the first T-shaped bushing 116, and a first limiting block 117 that slides inside the first support tube 113 is connected to the bottom end of the first screw 115.

[0035] In this technical solution, the first T-shaped bushing is rotatably inserted into the top of the first support tube, and the first nut is welded to the top of the first T-shaped bushing. The first T-shaped bushing is rotatably set at the top of the first support tube. The first T-shaped bushing and the first support tube do not need to be fixed axially. The first T-shaped bushing can be pressed down by the weight of the car and the cross bracket. The first limiting block is a disc-shaped structure and is connected to the bottom of the first screw by means of thread or welding. It is used to limit the height adjustment stroke of the first screw and prevent the first screw from falling off the first nut. The first screw can also be an existing bolt, and its head can be slidably set in the first support tube.

[0036] For example, see Figure 3 As shown, positioning blocks 123 corresponding to the first angle iron 121 are respectively provided at both ends of the bottom of the first square steel 122.

[0037] In this technical solution, the positioning block is made of existing square steel and the top of the block is machined with a 90° opening groove. The two side walls of the opening groove are attached to the corresponding side walls of the first square steel and welded and fixed. The ends of the positioning block and the first square steel are welded to the first angle iron. At this time, the positioning block can also serve as a positioning fixture to ensure the welding angle of the first square steel and the width of the first top plate is consistent with the width of the first angle iron, so as to avoid the limiting block interfering with the assembly between the horizontal support and the side support.

[0038] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, several stepped blocks 118 are provided on both sides of the side support 11.

[0039] In this technical solution, several step blocks are set on both sides of a single or two side supports, that is, step blocks are welded to the outside of the corresponding first support rod. The step blocks are made of square steel of existing specifications and welded to the first support rod, which facilitates the installation of straps and other operations at height during the packing process.

[0040] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lifting support 2 includes two liftable end supports 21 and two second square steels 22 parallel to each other at the top of the end supports 21. A second limiting groove is formed between the second square steels 22. Two support blocks 23 corresponding to the rear wheels of the car are provided on the side of the second square steels 22 away from the lifting support 1.

[0041] In this technical solution, the end bracket is fixed to the container floor by bolts and other means, and the height of the second square steel is adjustable. The inner side of the second square steel forms a 135° angle with the horizontal direction, that is, the adjacent sides of the two second square steels form a 90° angle. The second limiting groove is a right-angled V-shaped groove, which increases the contact area with the car tires and ensures the stability of the car. The support block is made of square steel of existing specifications and welded along the corresponding second square steel, that is, the inner side of the support block is flush with the inner side of the second square steel, which increases the support for the rear wheels of the car and improves the stability of the car.

[0042] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the end bracket 21 includes a second base plate 211 and a second angle iron 212 disposed directly above the second base plate 211 by two second lifting devices. The two ends of the second square steel 22 are respectively welded to the corresponding second angle iron 212.

[0043] In this technical solution, the second base plate is made of flat steel and has several through holes. It is fixed to the floor of the container by bolts and other means. The second lifting device adjusts the height of the second angle iron.

[0044] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second lifting device includes a vertically arranged second support tube 213 and a second screw 215 connected to the second support tube 213 by a second nut 214. The bottom end of the second support tube 213 is connected to the second base plate 211, and the top end of the second screw 215 is connected to the second angle iron 212.

[0045] In this technical solution, the structure of the second lifting device is the same as that of the first lifting device, and it is used to adjust the height of the second angle iron, that is, to adjust the height of the second square steel.

[0046] For example, see Figure 6 As shown, in actual use, in order to ensure the synchronous adjustment of the two sides of the lifting high support and the lifting low support, the two first top plates or the two second angle irons can be raised synchronously by jack 3, and then the corresponding first nut and second nut can be rotated until the first T-shaped bushing and the first T-shaped bushing fall to the top of the corresponding first support tube and second support tube, and then the jack can be removed.

[0047] In summary, this vehicle mounting bracket has a simple structure, allowing vehicles to be placed at an angle inside the container, increasing the container's capacity for loading vehicles. Both the height of the lifting and lowering brackets are adjustable, making it more flexible and versatile.

[0048] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0049] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
