Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of transport tools, and particularly relates to an automatic opening and locking device for a rear door of a freight box capable of self-unloading from the rear door during unloading. BACKGROUND

[0002] The freight box is a commonly used transport tool in the field of modern transportation, and has the advantages of large cargo carrying capacity, difficulty in scattering, and simple loading during the process of bulk cargo transportation. However, manual operation is still required during unloading, which reduces the freight efficiency. Therefore, people have invented a freight box with a rear self-unloading function. The current self-unloading freight box generally includes two modes of side self-unloading and rear self-unloading, that is, the freight box is tilted to the side to achieve unloading, or is tilted to the rear to achieve the self-unloading function by relying on the self-weight of the goods. The current rear self-unloading freight box needs to be manually opened at the rear during rear tilting unloading, otherwise, the goods cannot be discharged from the rear when the freight box is tilted to the rear. After unloading is completed, the rear door needs to be manually locked to prevent additional traffic accidents during vehicle operation. In this way, the transportation efficiency is reduced. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to better illustrate the technical solutions of the application, the specific embodiments of the application will be further described in combination with the drawings, such as Figures 1-5In this example, the common board strip steel in the industry is selected as the lock head 61 and the lock rod 68, and the upper end of the lock head 61 is bent, so that the automatic lock guide block 7 is conveniently entered or separated from the automatic lock, in this example, the automatic lock guide block 7 with a U-shaped cross section is selected, and the automatic lock guide block 7 is installed below the rear side of the rear door and corresponds to the position of the lock head 61, a plurality of automatic locks 6 can be installed at the lower end of the same rear door, in this example, two automatic locks 6 are selected and installed in parallel; two corresponding automatic lock guide blocks 7 are installed; in this example, the lock head 61 and the lock rod 62 are integrated, and a long notch is provided at the front end of the lock rod 62, the width of the notch is greater than the thickness of the middle shaft seat 66, and the length satisfies that when the lock rod 62 swings around the front end, no interference is generated with the middle shaft seat 66; the lock rod 68 is welded with the rear shaft sleeve 69, so that the lock rod 68 rotates with the rear shaft sleeve 69 around the rear shaft 64; in this example, a piece of steel strip is attached and welded below and behind the lock rod 68 and the lock head 61 as a reinforcing rib 62, so that the strength and impact resistance of the lock head 61 and the lock rod 62 can be increased, and no interference is generated with other parts near the lock rod 62; the common double-ear shaft seat and the shaft with a limiting pin at the end in the industry are selected as the rear shaft seat 63 and the rear shaft 64; the rear shaft seat 63 is fixedly installed on the rear door frame and fixedly connected with the rear door frame, the rear shaft sleeve 69 is sleeved on the rear shaft 64, and the rear shaft is installed on the rear shaft seat 63 and can rotate on the rear shaft seat 63; the common round shaft in the industry is selected as the middle shaft 65, the plate-shaped shaft seat is selected as the middle shaft seat 66, the middle shaft seat 66 is fixedly installed on the transition frame 2 or the skeleton car rear cross beam 5 and fixed, and the middle shaft 65 is installed on the middle shaft seat 66 and fixedly connected with the middle shaft seat 66; the front shaft seat provided on the transition frame 2 in the industry is selected as the front shaft seat 67 of this example, which can support the backward overturning of the box body 1; thus, the implementation of the application is completed.

[0017] In application, the cargo container is placed on the skeleton vehicle, loaded with goods, and transportation begins. Upon arrival at the destination, unloading begins. The lifting mechanism lifts the front end of the container 1. The rear of the container 1, supported by the front axle seat 67, rotates around the shaft on the front axle seat 67. The rear door 8 of the container 1 swings downward with the rear of the container 1. Since the front end of the locking rod 62 contacts the rear crossbeam 5 of the skeleton vehicle, and the rear crossbeam 5 is fixed, the rear axle seat 63 swings downward with the rear end of the container 1, thereby causing the rear axle sleeve 69 to swing downward. This causes the middle part of the locking lever 68 to swing downwards. Since the rear axle sleeve 69 is located in the middle area of ​​the locking lever 68, according to the lever principle, the power arm is short. However, the distance from the locking head 61 to the fixed point of the locking lever 68 (that is, the contact point between the locking lever 68 and the rear crossbeam 5 of the frame vehicle) is long. This results in the swing amplitude of the locking head 61 being greater than that of the rear axle sleeve 69. Consequently, the locking head 61 moves away from the automatic lock guide block 7 installed on the outside of the rear door 8, thereby releasing the rear door 8. This allows the rear door 8 to push the goods inside the box 1 and move under its own weight. The door opens automatically; after unloading, the lifting system lowers the front of the container 1, and the rear door 8 moves towards the rear door frame of the container 1 under its own weight and closes with the door frame. At this time, the rear axle sleeve 69 drives the rear end of the locking rod 68 to move upward. Since the front end of the locking rod 68 is in a floating state at this time, the lock head 61 cannot engage with the automatic lock guide block 5 to lock the rear door 8. When the container 1 swings clockwise to an almost horizontal position, the upper rear part of the locking rod 68 contacts the central shaft 65. The central shaft 65 prevents the movement of the tail of the locking rod 68, thus locking the rear door. The floating state of the locking rod 68 is restrained, and a rotational torque is formed between the central shaft 65 and the rear shaft 64. As the rear shaft sleeve 69 drives the middle part of the locking rod 68 to move upward, the locking rod 68 swings rapidly clockwise around the central shaft 65 as the fulcrum, exceeding the speed at which the rear door 8 flips with the box 1, so that the lock head 61 engages with the automatic lock guide block 5 and locks it, thus achieving the purpose of locking the rear door 8 to the rear door frame of the box 1. This completes one work cycle. The whole process does not require manual intervention and is automatically realized, which improves transportation efficiency and reduces labor intensity.
