Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of tank container technology, and more particularly to a tank container with a bottom reinforced structure. Background Technology
[0002] Tank containers are ideal transport containers for loading and transporting large quantities of liquids or gases. A tank container consists of a tank body and a connecting ring installed on the outer periphery of the tank body. Due to unloading requirements, most tank containers need to have a discharge valve installed at the lowest point of the tank body. In order to avoid the discharge valve, the connecting ring needs to have a notch. The support of the connecting ring and the notch is poor and it is easy to deform.
[0003] The existing method involves adding supporting angle steel on both sides of the notch in the connecting ring, welding the supporting angle steel to the connecting ring, and then welding it to the end cap. However, this method results in stress concentration at the supporting angle steel, posing a risk that the supporting angle steel is prone to breakage and the connecting ring is prone to deformation. Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to solve at least one of the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above shortcomings, the purpose of this application is to provide a tank container with a bottom reinforcement structure to solve the technical problems of poor bottom support of the tank body and easy deformation of the connecting ring and the tank body.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and meet the above-mentioned technical requirements, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:
[0006] A tank container with a bottom reinforcement structure, the tank container including a tank body, a connecting ring disposed on the tank body, and an end frame, wherein the connecting ring has a notch, characterized in that the bottom reinforcement structure includes two first reinforcement members respectively fixedly disposed on both sides of the notch, a second reinforcement member fixedly and vertically disposed between the two first reinforcement members, and two pads fitted and fixedly disposed on the tank body, wherein the first reinforcement members have a reinforcing folded edge on the side away from the connecting ring, and the pads are respectively located at both ends of the upper side of the second reinforcement members.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, a reinforcing rib assembly is fixedly provided on the side of the pad away from the end cap.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the reinforcing rib assembly includes a first reinforcing rib extending axially along the tank body and a second reinforcing rib extending circumferentially along the tank body. The second reinforcing rib is disposed at the end of the first reinforcing rib facing the first reinforcing member and is fixedly connected to the first reinforcing member.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the first reinforcing member has a reinforcing connecting edge on the side facing the connecting ring, the reinforcing connecting edge is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the connecting ring, and the reinforcing connecting edge is correspondingly provided with the pad.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a reinforcing baffle is fixedly provided on the inner side of the first reinforcing member, and the reinforcing baffle is connected to the connecting ring.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib are connected to form an L-shaped integral structure.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the end frame includes a lower end beam and an upper end beam arranged in parallel intervals, and a first corner post and a second corner post respectively vertically arranged at both ends of the lower end beam. The lower end of the first corner post is connected to one end of the lower end beam through a first corner piece, the lower end of the second corner post is connected to the other end of the lower end beam through a second corner piece, the upper end of the first corner post is connected to one end of the upper end beam through a third corner piece, and the upper end of the second corner post is connected to the other end of the upper end beam through a fourth corner piece.

One end of the pad extends toward the cylindrical body, and the other end extends toward the connecting ring and passes through the connection between the connecting ring and the head.
[0016] Compared with traditional technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0017] 1) Strengthen the folded edge to improve the support of the first reinforcing member, enhance the connection strength of the first reinforcing member, increase the support area, and make the connecting ring and tank body less prone to deformation;
[0018] 2) The reinforcing ribs are L-shaped integral structures with good integrity and high structural strength.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-8 This application provides an embodiment of a tank container with a bottom reinforcement structure. The tank container includes a tank body 1, a connecting ring 2 disposed on the outer periphery of the tank body 1, and an end frame 3. The connecting ring 2 has a notch 201. The bottom reinforcement structure includes two first reinforcement members 4 respectively fixedly disposed on both sides of the notch 201, a second reinforcement member 5 fixedly and vertically disposed between the two first reinforcement members 4, and two pads 6 fitted and fixedly disposed on the tank body 1. The first reinforcement members 4 have a reinforcing folded edge 401 on the side away from the connecting ring 2. The pads 6 are located at both ends of the upper side of the second reinforcing member 5. The reinforcing fold 401 enhances the support of the first reinforcing member 4, increases the support area, and strengthens the overall strength. When the cover plate is installed on the bottom side of the first reinforcing member 4, the reinforcing fold 401 can also enhance the connection strength of the first reinforcing member 4 and strengthen the overall strength. The tank body 1 and the connecting ring 2 are not easily deformed. Due to the setting of the reinforcing fold 401, the thickness of the first and second reinforcing members can be reduced from 8-10mm to 3-6mm, reducing the overall weight and material cost, thereby effectively achieving the goal of lightweighting.
[0034] Specifically, the tank body 1 includes a cylindrical body (not shown) and a head 101 disposed on one side of the cylindrical body. The pad 6 is fixedly attached to the outer periphery of the head 101. One end of the pad 6 extends toward the cylindrical body, and the other end extends toward the connecting ring 2 and passes through the connection between the connecting ring 2 and the head 1, thereby increasing the stress-bearing area and reducing stress. The pad 6 is connected to the connecting ring 2 and the head 101 respectively, so that the connection between the connecting ring 2 and the head 101 is not prone to cracking or deformation.
[0035] like Figures 1-8As shown, a reinforcing rib assembly 7 is fixedly provided on the side of the pad 6 away from the end cap 1. The reinforcing rib assembly 7 strengthens the overall strength of the pad 6. Further, the reinforcing rib assembly 7 includes a first reinforcing rib 701 extending axially along the tank body 1 and a second reinforcing rib 702 extending circumferentially along the end cap 101. The second reinforcing rib 702 is disposed at the end of the first reinforcing rib 701 facing the first reinforcing member 4. The second reinforcing rib 702 is fixedly connected to the first reinforcing member 4. Specifically, the first reinforcing rib 701 and the second reinforcing rib 702 are connected to form an L-shaped integral structure, which has better integrity and higher overall strength. In this way, the first reinforcing rib 701 and the second reinforcing rib 702 strengthen the strength of the pad 6 in two directions. After being connected to the first reinforcing member 4, the stress structure is improved and the support of the first reinforcing member 4 is enhanced.
[0036] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the first reinforcing member 4 has a reinforcing connecting edge 402 on the side facing the connecting ring 2. The reinforcing connecting edge 402 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the connecting ring 2. The reinforcing connecting edge 402 is correspondingly arranged with the pad 6 to increase the force-bearing area and prevent deformation at the notch 201 of the connecting ring 2.
[0037] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the end frame 3 includes a lower end beam 301 and an upper end beam 302 arranged parallel to each other, and a first corner post 303 and a second corner post 304 respectively vertically arranged at both ends of the lower end beam 301. The lower end of the first corner post 303 is connected to one end of the lower end beam 301 through a first corner piece 305, and the lower end of the second corner post 304 is connected to the other end of the lower end beam 301 through a second corner piece 306. The upper end of the first corner post 303 is connected to the upper end beam 302 through a third corner piece 307. 02 One end is connected, the upper end of the second corner post 304 is connected to the other end of the end beam 302 through the fourth corner piece 308, and an upper connecting plate 10 is respectively provided at the two corners of the upper part of the end frame 3. A horizontal connecting plate 11 is connected between the two lower connecting plates 9. The horizontal connecting plate 11 is connected to the upper inner side of the end frame 3. The upper connecting plate 10 and the horizontal connecting plate 11 are connected to form an integral structure. The horizontal connecting plate 11 connects the two upper connecting plates 10 together to improve the overall strength.
[0038] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a liner 13 is fixedly provided on the side of the lower end beam 301 facing the first reinforcing member 4, and a connecting groove 403 is provided on the side of the first reinforcing member 4 facing the lower end beam 301. The liner 13 is fixedly provided in the connecting groove 403. The connecting groove 403 facilitates welding positioning and improves the stress-bearing effect of the liner 13 and the first reinforcing member 4.
[0039] like Figures 1-8As shown, the reinforcing connecting edge 402 has a protrusion 4021 at one end facing the pad 6. The protrusion 4021 has a notch 40211 to avoid the pad 6, so that the pad 6 can extend towards the connecting ring 2. The lower ends of the second reinforcing member 5 are respectively provided with avoidance grooves 501. The pad 6 passes through the avoidance grooves 501 to facilitate positioning and form support.
[0040] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a reinforcing baffle 12 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the first reinforcing member 4. The reinforcing baffle 12 is connected to the connecting ring 2. The reinforcing baffle 12 further strengthens the strength of the notch 201 of the connecting ring 2, as well as the connection strength between the first reinforcing member 4 and the connecting ring 2, and also blocks the unloading droplets.
