[0031] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a lightweight container, including a support base 1, a main frame 2 on both the front and rear sides of the top of the support base 1, a side frame 4 on one side of the top of the support base 1, and a top frame 3 between the tops of the two main frames 2. The support base 1, the main frames 2, the top frame 3 and the side frames 4 are welded together to form the container body. Two rear frames 5 are provided on the other side of the top of the support base 1. The two rear frames 5 are detachably connected to the two main frames 2 respectively, which facilitates loading or unloading.
[0032] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the support base 1 is equipped with a drive assembly 6 for driving the container body to move. The drive assembly 6 includes a threaded rod 61. The support base 1 has a drive groove 8 and a lifting groove 7 distributed vertically in the center. The top and bottom ends of the threaded rod 61 are connected to the bottom ends of the lifting groove 7 through bearings. The threaded rod 61 is threadedly connected to a threaded block 62. The four corners of the bottom of the support base 1 are provided with slots 10. Electric wheels 66 are provided inside the slots 10. The top of the slots 10 is provided with a support block 65. The electric wheels 66 are fixed to the bottom of the support block 65, which facilitates the lifting and lowering of the support block 65 to drive the electric wheels 66 to lift and lower. The drive groove 8 is equipped with a controller for controlling the operation of the electric wheels 66.
[0033] The support base 1 has four evenly distributed limiting grooves 9 inside, and the two ends of the limiting grooves 9 are connected to the lifting groove 7 and the slot 10 respectively. The limiting grooves 9 are provided with limiting inclined rods 64. The two ends of the limiting inclined rods 64 are fixedly connected to the threaded block 62 and the support block 65 respectively, so as to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the threaded block 62. The limiting inclined rods 64 limit the movement of the threaded block 62. The drive groove 8 is fixedly equipped with a motor 63. The top end of the threaded rod 61 passes through the drive groove 8 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 63. The top center hinge of the support base 1 is connected to a flip cover 67, which is convenient to open the flip cover 67 for maintenance of the motor 63. The surface of the flip cover 67 is provided with several evenly distributed heat dissipation holes.
[0034] By setting the drive component 6, when the present invention needs to be moved, the motor 63 inside the drive groove 8 is controlled to work. The motor 63 drives the threaded rod 61 inside the lifting groove 7 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 61 drives the threaded block 62 on it to rise and fall along the thread of the threaded rod 61. At the same time, it drives the four limiting inclined rods 64 on the threaded block 62 to rise and fall along the limiting groove 9 respectively, and drives the support block 65 to rise and fall along the inside of the slot 10. Finally, it drives the electric wheel 66 to rise and fall inside the slot 10 and contact the ground, thereby realizing the movement of the present invention driven by the electric wheel 66. This facilitates handling and reduces the labor intensity of the workers. At the same time, when the present invention does not need to be moved, the electric wheel 66 can be easily retracted to ensure the overall stability of the present invention.
[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the main frame 2, top frame 3, side frame 4, and rear frame 5 are all made of aluminum alloy plate 11. A thin magnesium oxide board 12 is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the aluminum alloy plate 11. The thin magnesium oxide board 12 is filled with foamed cement board 13. All of these components enable the present invention to have heat insulation and fireproof effects. The thin magnesium oxide board 12 has good flame retardant properties, can resist high temperature and flame, slow down the development of fire, and prevent the spread of flame. It also has good moisture resistance, is not easily affected by moisture and corrosion, and can remain stable in humid environments. At the same time, it is relatively light, making it easy to transport and install. In addition, the foamed cement board 13 has the characteristics of being lightweight, heat-insulating, and heat-resistant. It has low density and light weight, which can greatly reduce the self-weight of the present invention, while also having excellent heat insulation performance.
[0036] During operation, workers sequentially weld two main frames 2, a top frame 3, a side frame 4, and a rear frame 5 to the top of the support base 1, forming the container body. The use of thin magnesium oxide board layer 12 and foamed cement board layer 13 enables the main frames 2, top frame 3, and side frame 4 to have good fire resistance. Furthermore, the limiting groove 9 and slot 10 inside the support base 1 create a hollow isolation between the bottom of the support base 1 and the ground, thereby reducing the entry of moisture into the container body and providing a fireproof effect for the container body, thus protecting the goods stored inside the container body.
[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
