[0001] This utility model relates to the field of containers, specifically to a flow guiding device and a container. Background Technology
[0002] Bulk cargo containers are mainly used for transporting unpackaged solid granular and powdery goods, such as grains, feed, resins, borax, cement, and sand. They typically have a loading port at the top and a unloading port at the bottom. Due to the characteristics of granular materials, after loading, they accumulate at the loading port and gradually slope towards both ends and sides (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (Illustrative image) This phenomenon results in a waste of loading space inside the container.
[0003] No improvements have been found in existing domestic patents regarding the direction of flow guidance or diversion when top-feeding bulk containers. Utility Model Content

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 14 This utility model discloses a flow guiding device and a container, with the flow guiding device installed inside the container body. The top plate 1 of the container has a loading port 11, which is generally located at the center of the top plate 1 and is equipped with a cover plate 12.
[0034] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The flow guiding device includes two guide plates 2 positioned below the loading port 11. To ensure that the guide plates 2 guide the cargo entering through the loading port 11 towards both ends of the container, and to maximize the use of space at both ends, the two guide plates 2 are symmetrically arranged. Their plane of symmetry is along the height of the container and passes through an axis of symmetry of the loading port 11, which is along the width of the container. Simultaneously, the surface of the guide plates 2 is provided with inverted V-shaped flow channels 21. (See reference...) Figure 3The flow channel 21 can guide part of the cargo on it to the two sides inside the container, further improving the diversion effect and the space occupancy rate inside the container.
[0035] This utility model mainly provides embodiments of two configuration methods for the guide plate 2.
[0036] In Example 1, the deflector 2 is movably installed inside the container, meaning its left and right sides are movably connected to the container's side panels. See the attached diagram for details. Figures 4 to 14 .
[0037] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The flow guiding device also includes a transverse slide rail 3 and a vertical slide rail 4 welded and fixed to the side plate. Both have a C-shaped cross-section. The transverse slide rail 3 is located above the vertical slide rail 4. Each side of the flow guiding plate 2 corresponds to a set of transverse slide rail 3 and vertical slide rail 4. Two pulleys 22 are provided on each of the left and right sides of the flow guiding plate 2, which can slide in the transverse slide rail 3 and vertical slide rail 4. The two pulleys 22 are close to the upper and lower ends of the flow guiding plate 2, respectively, so as to realize that the upper end of the flow guiding plate 2 slides with the transverse slide rail 3 and the lower end slides with the vertical slide rail 4.
[0038] To facilitate the fixing of the inclined guide plate 2, the vertical slide rail 4 is provided with multiple limiting holes 41, combined with Figure 6 The limiting holes 41 are evenly distributed along their length, and the distance between every two limiting holes 41 is just enough to accommodate the pulley 22. In this embodiment, a U-shaped limiting pin 5 is used. This limiting pin 5 passes through two adjacent limiting holes 41, so that the pulley 22 at the lower end of the guide plate 2 can be locked between the two limiting holes 41 by the limiting pin 5, that is, the lower end of the guide plate 2 is fixed to the vertical slide rail 4. After the limiting pin 5 passes through the hole, it can be further locked by bolts engaging with the threads at its end.
[0039] Based on the above structure, this embodiment can change the fixed height of the lower end of the guide plate 2 by adjusting the different positioning positions of the limiting pin 5 on the vertical slide rail 4, thereby adjusting the overall tilt angle of the guide plate 2 inside the box to accommodate goods of different particle sizes, such as cement, grain, and coal, and thus adapt to different shipping requirements. The change in the tilt angle of the guide plate 2 corresponds to the feed ratio analysis in each direction of the loading port 11, which can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 : Figure 7 In the middle, the tilt angle of the two guide plates 2 is A1, and at this time the feeding ratio of the loading port 11 in each direction is H1:H2:H1; Figure 8 In the diagram, the tilt angle of the two guide plates 2 becomes A2, at which point the two plates adjust the feeding ratio of the loading port 11 in each direction to H3:H4:H3; in the diagram, A2 is greater than A1, so H3 is less than H1 and H4 is greater than H2.
[0040] After determining the tilt angle of the guide vane 2 and fixing the guide vane 2, it can be presented as follows: Figure 4 The structure shown has an internal cross-sectional view. Figure 9 , Figure 9 by Figure 7 Based on the feed ratio, the feed directions are shown in the figure. Figure 9 After the structure is fully loaded with goods, such as Figure 10 As shown, during transportation, the guide vane 2 bears the impact force of the upper cargo caused by acceleration and deceleration. Its force analysis can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 11 .
[0041] Based on the above structure, in order to make the arrangement of the guide plate 2 more reasonable, this embodiment can also open a slot 31 in the middle of the transverse slide rail 3, see reference. Figure 12 Connect the upper end of the vertical slide rail 4 to the slot 31 to connect the horizontal slide rail 3 and the vertical slide rail 4. See the attached document for details. Figure 13 , Figure 13 This is an enlarged schematic diagram of the connection between the horizontal slide rail 3 and the vertical slide rail 4. Through this structure, the lower pulley 22 of the guide plate 2 can slide along the vertical slide rail 4 to the horizontal slide rail 3. A fixing hole 32 is provided at the end of the horizontal slide rail 3 furthest from the loading port 11, and the lower end of the guide plate 2 can be locked at the fixing hole 32 by a U-shaped limiting pin 5. (See reference...) Figure 14 and Figure 15 At this time, the lower pulley of the guide plate 2 is fixed to the end of the transverse slide rail 3, and the guide plate 2 is thus stored in the top of the box, parallel to the top plate 1. This situation can be used when the guide plate 2 is not needed.
[0042] It should be noted that the length of the transverse slide rail 3 is at least greater than the length between the upper and lower ends of the guide plate 2, so that when the guide plate 2 is stored, it will not block the loading port 11 and affect the feeding.
[0043] In the second embodiment, if the purpose is only to achieve the function of guiding the flow of the guide plate 2 and to withstand the impact of the upper cargo, without adjusting its tilt angle or storing it, then there is no need to set up the horizontal slide rail 3 and the vertical slide rail 4. It is only necessary to fix the left and right sides of the guide plate 2 to the side panels of the container.
[0044] In summary, this utility model improves the loading capacity and the utilization rate of the internal space by setting a guide plate 2 at the loading port 11 to guide the falling direction of particulate matter; when the box is fully loaded, the guide plate 2 is embedded in the upper layer of goods, and the inclined and fixed guide plate 2 is used to withstand the impact force of the upper layer of goods caused by acceleration and deceleration during transportation, thereby reducing the impact on the end of the box.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
