Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of containers, specifically relating to a self-unloading container based on outriggers. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, for on-site recycling of photovoltaic modules, the main method is to transport the recycling equipment to the site in containers, then unload the containers from the vehicles onto the ground, and then carry out the recycling of the solar cells.
[0003] However, in the process of container self-unloading, most methods rely on the extension and retraction of hydraulic outriggers located on the outside of the container to support it on the ground, and also on leveling operations using multiple outriggers. Although this method can achieve container self-unloading, it has the following technical defects during self-unloading, transportation, and use:
[0004] 1) Since all hydraulic outriggers are located on the outside of the container, this not only increases wind resistance during transportation, but also may affect the way the container can be opened due to its location (it is only suitable for the rear-opening method).
[0005] 2) The opening method formed by the container is relatively simple. Most of them are opened from the end of the container to form an import and export. However, in the recycling of photovoltaic modules, a single export will not meet the needs of on-site recycling. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an improved self-unloading container based on outriggers.
[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A self-unloading container based on outriggers includes a container body and an outrigger assembly. The container body includes a frame, doors, a cover, and a bottom. The outrigger assembly includes multiple sets of hydraulic support legs. Specifically, there are multiple doors arranged on both sides and ends of the frame along its length, and each door can be flipped open to form an opening. The multiple sets of hydraulic support legs are arranged in an array on opposite sides of the frame along its length. Each set of hydraulic support legs includes a flipping seat that can flip around the frame and be positioned with the frame, and telescopic outriggers mounted on the flipping seat and adjustable vertically. When the door is open, the flipping seat flips outward, and the telescopic outriggers move out of the frame and are supported on the ground by telescopic movement to complete the self-unloading of the container. When the door is closed, the telescopic outriggers are clamped inside the flipping seat and located inside the frame.
[0009] Preferably, the flip-up seat includes a rotating shaft extending in the vertical direction, a first seat body and a second seat body that rotate relative to each other based on the rotating shaft, wherein the first seat body is fixed to the inner side of the box frame, the telescopic support leg is installed on the second seat body, and the second seat body is inserted into the box frame to position the telescopic support leg on the outer side of the box frame.
[0010] According to a specific embodiment and preferred aspect of this utility model, both the first and second seats are seat plates extending along the length of the pivot axis. The first seat is fitted against the inner side of the box frame, and the hydraulic support leg has an inward and outward state. When the hydraulic support leg is in the inward state, the second seat is located inside the box frame, and the telescopic support leg is clamped by the first and second seats. When the hydraulic support leg is in the outward state, the second seat flips outward and is inserted relative to the outside of the box frame, with the hydraulic support leg exposed outside the box frame. The clamping creates an inward flipping positioning; the insertion creates an outward flipping positioning, thereby enabling more stable telescopic adjustment of the telescopic support leg.
[0011] Preferably, the hydraulic support leg is installed on the inner side of the second base body, forming a relatively concealed protection.
[0012] Furthermore, an insertion hole is formed on one of the outer sides of the box frame and the second seat, and an insertion pin is formed on the other side to mate with the insertion hole. Based on the fit between the hole and the pin, the two are positioned relative to each other.
[0013] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of this utility model, a notch is provided on the outer side of the second seat. When the hydraulic support legs are in the retracted state, the door matches the notch from the side to cover the open opening. That is, the fit between the door and the second seat conceals each hydraulic support leg inside the box, avoiding the hydraulic support legs from causing transportation obstruction, and also eliminating interference from the position of the hydraulic support legs affecting the opening or closing of the door.
[0014] In some specific embodiments, when the telescopic outrigger is clamped by the first and second seats, the second and first seats are in 90° relative contact. This contact further defines the relationship between the two, preventing excessive clamping of the first and second seats; that is, the telescopic outrigger rests against the side of the first seat.
[0015] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of this utility model, the box frame is divided into multiple sections arranged sequentially and interconnected along its length. Box doors are installed at the ends and sides of the first and last sections, and on the sides of the middle sections. Here, multiple openings are formed based on the openings at the sides and ends to facilitate the discharge of waste materials during on-site recycling.
[0016] Preferably, the box body has two sections and six doors, with three doors in each of the front and rear sections, two on the sides and one at the end.
[0017] Furthermore, there are four sets of hydraulic support legs, distributed on opposite sides of the ends of the two box sections.
[0018] In addition, each of the hydraulic support legs also includes a support foot set at the bottom of each telescopic support leg, and after the hydraulic support leg flips inward and retracts with the flip seat, the door closes and the opening is closed, with the support foot located inside the door or abutting against the inner wall of the door.
[0019] Due to the implementation of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0020] Existing self-unloading containers, due to the placement of hydraulic outriggers on the outside of the container, not only increase wind resistance during transportation but also potentially affect the container's opening method (suitable only for rear-opening). Furthermore, the opening method is relatively limited, mostly opening from the end to form an inlet / outlet, which is insufficient for on-site recycling needs in photovoltaic modules. This application addresses these shortcomings by comprehensively designing the structure of the self-unloading container, cleverly resolving these deficiencies. Using this self-unloading container, the telescopic outriggers are positioned on the outside of the frame based on the flip-over positioning of the inward-outward flipping seat. The lifting and lowering of the telescopic outriggers enables self-loading and unloading of transport vehicles. Simultaneously, the multiple openings on the sides and ends provide sufficient waste discharge ports during recycling. Therefore, this invention, on the one hand, avoids transportation obstruction caused by exposed telescopic outriggers and prevents their placement from interfering with the opening or closing of the container door; on the other hand, the multiple openings allow for segmented collection of disassembled components during on-site photovoltaic module recycling, increasing the container's practicality.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the outrigger-assisted self-unloading container of this embodiment includes a container body 1 and an outrigger assembly 2. The container body 1 includes a container frame 10, a container door 11, a container cover 12 and a container bottom 13. The outrigger assembly 2 includes multiple sets of hydraulic support legs 20.
[0036] The box frame 1 is divided into multiple interconnected sections along its length. Box doors 11 are installed at the ends and sides of the first and last sections, and on the sides of the middle sections. Multiple openings are formed by the open sides and ends to facilitate the discharge of waste materials during on-site recycling.
[0037] In this example, the box 1 has two sections and six doors 11. The front and rear sections each have three doors, two of which are located on the sides and the remaining door is located at the end. Each door 11 can be flipped open to form an open opening.
[0038] Multiple sets of hydraulic support legs 20 are arranged in an array on opposite sides of the container frame 1 along its length. Each set of hydraulic support legs 20 includes a flipping seat 200 that can rotate inside and outside the container frame 10 and form a positioning with the container frame, and a telescopic support leg 201 that is installed on the flipping seat 200 and can be adjusted up and down. When the container door 11 is open, the flipping seat 200 flips outward, and the telescopic support leg 201 moves out of the container frame 10 and is supported on the ground by telescopic movement to complete the self-unloading of the container. When the container door 11 closes the open opening, the telescopic support leg 201 is clamped inside the flipping seat 200 and located inside the container frame 10.
[0039] In this example, there are four sets of hydraulic support legs 20, distributed on opposite sides of the ends of the two box sections. The flip-up seat 200 includes a rotating shaft a extending in the vertical direction, a first seat b and a second seat c that rotate relative to each other based on the rotating shaft a, wherein the first seat b is fixed to the inner side of the box frame 10, the telescopic support leg 201 is mounted on the second seat c, and the second seat c is inserted into the box frame 10 to position the telescopic support leg 201 on the outer side of the box frame 10. The first seat b and the second seat c are both seat plates extending along the length direction of the rotating shaft a, wherein the first seat b is attached to the inner side of the box frame 10, and the hydraulic support leg 20 has an inward and outward state, wherein when the hydraulic support leg is in the inward state, the second seat c is located inside the box frame 10, and the telescopic support leg 201 is clamped by the first seat b and the second seat c; wherein when the hydraulic support leg 20 is in the outward state, the second seat c flips outward and is inserted relative to each other on the outer side of the box frame 10, and the hydraulic support leg 20 is exposed outside the box frame 10. The inward-folding positioning is achieved through clamping; the outward-folding positioning is achieved through insertion, thus enabling more stable adjustment of the telescopic outriggers. The hydraulic support leg 20 is installed inside the second base c, forming a relatively concealed protection. An insertion hole is formed on one of the outer sides of the box frame 10 and the second base c, and an insertion pin is formed on the other side to match the insertion hole. The two are positioned relative to each other based on the cooperation of the hole and the pin. A notch groove c1 is provided on the outer side of the second base c. When the hydraulic support leg 20 is in the retracted state, the box door 11 matches the notch groove c1 from the side to cover the open opening. That is, the box door fits snugly against the second base to conceal each hydraulic support leg inside the box, avoiding obstruction of transportation by the hydraulic support legs, and also eliminating interference from the position of the hydraulic support legs affecting the opening or closing of the box door. When the telescopic outrigger 201 is clamped by the first base b and the second base c, the second base c and the first base b are in 90° relative contact. The relationship between the two is further defined by the contact fit to avoid excessive clamping between the first and second seats, that is, the telescopic outriggers abut against the side of the first seat.
[0040] In addition, each of the hydraulic support legs 20 also includes a support foot 202 disposed at the bottom of each telescopic support leg 201. After the hydraulic support leg 20 flips and retracts inward with the flip seat 200, the door 11 closes its open opening, and the support foot 202 is located inside the door 11 or abuts against the inner wall of the door 11.
[0041] In summary, by adopting this self-unloading container, the telescopic outriggers are positioned on the outside of the container frame based on the flipping positioning of the inward and outward flipping seat. The lifting and lowering of the telescopic outriggers enables self-loading and unloading of transport vehicles. Furthermore, the layout of multiple open openings on the sides and ends provides sufficient waste discharge ports during recycling. Therefore, this invention, firstly, avoids transportation obstruction caused by exposed telescopic outriggers and prevents interference with the opening or closing of the container door due to the outriggers' positional arrangement; secondly, the layout of multiple open openings allows for the segmented collection of disassembled components during on-site recycling of photovoltaic modules, increasing the container's practicality; and thirdly, the clamping mechanism forms an inward flipping position. The first aspect involves the following steps: First, the outward positioning is achieved through inserting the legs, thus ensuring more stable adjustment of the telescopic outriggers. Second, the hydraulic support legs are installed on the inner side of the second body, providing relatively concealed protection. Meanwhile, one of the outer sides of the frame and the second body has an insert hole, and the other has an insert pin that matches and mates with the insert hole. Based on the cooperation of the hole and the pin, the two are positioned relative to each other. Third, the contact fit further limits the relationship between the two, preventing excessive clamping between the first and second bodies. That is, the telescopic outriggers rest against the side of the first body. Fourth, the support feet not only facilitate leveling operations (generally in a disc shape), but also create a contact area larger than the outer diameter of the bottom of the telescopic outriggers.
[0042] The present invention has been described in detail above, but it is not limited to the embodiments described above. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
