Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of modular container technology, and in particular to a self-unloading expandable modular container. Background Technology

[0002] A modular shelter is a box-type workspace that uses sandwich insulated panels instead of container wall panels, providing a certain level of protection.

[0003] In existing technologies, modular containers possess excellent battlefield mobility, rapid combat response capabilities, and suitable working environments for onboard equipment and personnel. Therefore, the development of modular containers has become an irreversible trend in contemporary development. Traditional modular containers have advantages such as rapid response capabilities and strong battlefield mobility.

[0004] However, traditional modular cabins are fixed to a chassis, and the chassis and cabin cannot work independently, resulting in the cabin being overly dependent on the chassis and limiting its applicability. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-unloading expandable cabin, which solves the problem that in the existing technology, the traditional cabin is fixed to the chassis, and the chassis and cabin cannot work independently, resulting in the cabin being too dependent on the chassis and having a limited scope of application.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a self-unloading expandable cabin, comprising a cabin body, two deployment mechanisms, and two extension mechanisms. Each deployment mechanism includes an extension side plate, an extension top plate, an extension bottom plate, two support rods, a hydraulic cylinder, a first slide rail, and a support plate. The first slide rail is disposed inside the cabin body. One end of the extension top plate is slidably adapted to the first slide rail, and the other end of the extension top plate is hinged to the extension side plate. The two extension mechanisms are respectively disposed inside the cabin body. One end of the extension bottom plate is hinged to the extension side plate, and the other end of the extension bottom plate is connected to the corresponding extension mechanism. The two support rods are respectively disposed inside the cabin body. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the two support rods, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the extension bottom plate and is fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0007] Each of the aforementioned extension mechanisms includes a reduction motor, a gear, a rack, and a second slide rail. The reduction motor is disposed on the inner bottom wall of the cabin, the gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the reduction motor, the second slide rail is disposed inside the cabin, and the rack is slidably adapted to the second slide rail.

[0008] The rack engages with the gear, and one end of the extended base plate is fixedly connected to the rack.

[0009] The self-unloading expandable cabin also includes multiple reinforcing corners, which are fixedly connected to the cabin body and located around the cabin body.

[0010] This utility model discloses a self-unloading expandable container. A first slide rail is disposed inside the container body. One end of the expandable top plate is slidably adapted to the first slide rail, and the other end of the expandable top plate is hinged to the expandable side plate. Two expandable mechanisms are respectively disposed inside the container body. One end of the expandable bottom plate is hinged to the expandable side plate, and the other end of the expandable bottom plate is connected to the corresponding expandable mechanism. Two support rods are respectively disposed inside the container body. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the two support rods, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the expandable bottom plate and is fixedly connected to the support plate. The hydraulic cylinder is supported by two support rods, which in turn support the support plate, thus stabilizing the entire device on the ground. When disassembly and storage are required, the hydraulic cylinder drives the support plate back into the cabin. Then, the extended top plate slides within the first slide rail, thereby retracting the extended top plate, the extended bottom plate, and the extended side plate into the cabin. The extended side plate acts as a side baffle of the cabin, providing a sealing function. Therefore, compared to traditional modular cabins, this device can operate independently without relying on a chassis, has a wide range of applications, and occupies little space when the hydraulic cylinder is retracted, increasing the utilization rate of the cabin space. Furthermore, the cabin can be expanded and retracted, increasing the storage space. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the cabin 1 of this utility model when it is unfolded. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the extension mechanism 9 of this utility model.

[0018] This utility model provides a self-unloading expandable cabin, including a cabin body 1, two deployment mechanisms and two extension mechanisms 9. Each deployment mechanism includes an extension side plate 2, an extension top plate 3, an extension bottom plate 4, two support rods 5, a hydraulic cylinder 6, a first slide rail 7, and a support plate 8. The first slide rail 7 is disposed inside the cabin body 1. One end of the extension top plate 3 is slidably adapted to the first slide rail 7, and the other end of the extension top plate 3 is hinged to the extension side plate 2. The two extension mechanisms 9 are respectively disposed inside the cabin body 1. One end of the extension bottom plate 4 is hinged to the extension side plate 2, and the other end of the extension bottom plate 4 is connected to the corresponding extension mechanism 9. The two support rods 5 are respectively disposed inside the cabin body 1. The hydraulic cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the two support rods 5, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the extension bottom plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the support plate 8.

[0019] In this embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder is supported by two support rods 5, which in turn support the support plate 8. The support plate 8 stabilizes the entire device on the ground. When disassembly and storage are required, the hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the support plate 8 to retract into the cabin 1. Then, the extended top plate 3 slides within the first slide rail 7, thereby retracting the extended top plate 3, the extended bottom plate 4, and the extended side plate 2 into the cabin 1. The extended side plate 2 acts as a side baffle of the cabin 1, providing a sealing function. Thus, compared to traditional cabins, this device can operate independently without relying on a chassis, has a wide range of applications, and occupies little space when the hydraulic cylinder 6 is retracted, increasing the space utilization of the cabin 1. Furthermore, the cabin 1 can be expanded and retracted, increasing its storage space.

[0020] Furthermore, each of the extension mechanisms 9 includes a reduction motor 10, a gear 11, a rack 12, and a second slide rail 13. The reduction motor 10 is disposed on the inner bottom wall of the cabin 1. The gear 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the reduction motor 10. The second slide rail 13 is disposed inside the cabin 1. The rack 12 is slidably adapted to the second slide rail 13. The rack 12 cooperates with the gear 11, and one end of the extension base plate 4 is fixedly connected to the rack 12.

[0021] In this embodiment, the output end of the reduction motor 10 drives the gear 11 to rotate, and then through the cooperation of the gear 11 and the rack 12, the rack 12 is driven to slide along the second slide rail 13, which in turn drives the extended base plate 4 to move, which in turn drives the extended side plate 2 to move, and then drives the extended top plate 3 to move along the first slide rail 7, thereby enabling the device to be unfolded or stored.

[0022] Furthermore, the self-unloading expandable cabin also includes multiple reinforcing corners 14, which are fixedly connected to the cabin body 1 and located around the cabin body 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the overall structure of the cabin 1 is reinforced by setting multiple reinforcement angles 14, making it more stable.

[0024] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of this application are still within the scope of this application.
