Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, and more specifically to a louver for a container and a container. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of modular technology, containers now exist that house electrical equipment such as generators, improving transportation and installation efficiency. These generator boxes typically require air intake and ventilation louvers on the casing for ventilation and heat dissipation of the generator set inside.
[0003] Typical louvers are welded to the container as a single unit, and cannot guarantee that rainwater will not be drawn into the fan during operation, thus damaging the equipment. Furthermore, typical louvers are not effective at isolating the unit's noise during operation, potentially impacting the surrounding environment.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for louvers and containers for containers to at least partially solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0044] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0045] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first aspect of this utility model provides a louver 100 for a container. It includes a frame 110, a louver assembly 120, a support plate 140, and a rain shield 130. The louver assembly 120 is disposed on the frame 110. The support plate 140 is hinged to the frame 110, and a first axis of rotation of the support plate 140 extends along the height direction D1 of the louver assembly 120. The rain shield 130 is hinged to the louver assembly 120 or the frame 110. For example, Figure 2 The rain shield 130 shown is connected to the frame 110 via a hinge 132. The second axis of rotation extends along the length direction D2 of the louver assembly 120, which is orthogonal to the height direction D1.
[0046] When the venetian blind 100 is open, the support plate 140 rotates away from the venetian assembly 120, and the rain shield 130 rotates away from the venetian assembly 120 and connects to the support plate 140, so that the rain shield 130 and the venetian assembly 120 form an angle and are in an open state. When the venetian blind 100 is closed, the rain shield 130 rotates towards the venetian assembly 120 until it is substantially parallel to the frame 110, and the support plate 140 rotates towards the venetian assembly 120 until it is substantially parallel to the frame 110, thus forming a closed state.
[0047] According to the louver 100 for containers of this application, when ventilation is required, a rainproof structure can be formed by the support plate 140 and the rainproof plate 130, which can further prevent rainwater from entering the louver 100 without affecting the ventilation function; when transportation is required, the support plate 140 and the rainproof plate 130 can be folded so as not to affect container intermodal transport.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, a pair of support plates 140 are provided on both wings of the rain shield 130 along the second rotation axis, thereby forming stable support at both ends of the rain shield 130 along the second rotation axis. Furthermore, to improve the rain-blocking effect and save space, at least two rain shields 130 are provided on the frame 110 along the first rotation axis, thus forming multiple rain shields 130 stacked in the height direction D1, creating a tiered rain protection. This also overcomes the problem of excessive area occupied by a single rain shield 130 when unfolded, or the problem of poor ventilation caused by reducing the opening angle to save space. A hanging rod 121 is provided at the top of the louver assembly 120. The frame 110 includes a lifting part 111 with lifting holes, and the hanging rod 121 is connected to the lifting holes.
[0049] When electrical equipment is loaded inside the container, a filter silencer 150 is preferably installed to effectively isolate the unit noise. It is located on the side of the louver assembly 120 opposite to the rain shield 130, and not only eliminates noise, but also integrates the function of filtration and dust removal.
[0050] More preferably, the rain shield 130 includes a sound-absorbing layer 131. This sound-absorbing layer 131 is preferably disposed on the outer surface of the rain shield 130, thereby further improving the sound absorption effect. Furthermore, this arrangement can directly absorb the sound of falling raindrops.
[0051] In this embodiment, two rain shields 130 are provided on the frame 110 along the direction of the first rotation axis. For a clearer illustration, refer to... Figure 2 The upper rain shield 130 is in the open state, and the lower rain shield 130 is in the closed state.
[0052] More specifically, see reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the venetian blind 100 is open, or in the open state, the support plate 140 rotates away from the venetian assembly 120 until it is perpendicular to the venetian assembly 120, and the rain shield 130 forms an acute angle with the venetian assembly 120. The rain shield 130 has an opening locking part 161 on its side along the second rotation axis, the support plate 140 has an opening mating part 162, and the venetian blind 100 also includes a locking member 160. When the venetian blind 100 is open, the locking member 160 connects to the opening locking part 161 and the opening mating part 162 to maintain the open state. As an example, the locking member can be constructed as a wing bolt, and the opening locking part 161 and the opening mating part 162 can be constructed as screw holes. After the support plate 140 and the rain shield 130 are rotated into position, the locking member is screwed into the opening locking part 161 and the opening mating part 162, thereby fixing them in the open state.
[0053] In the closed state, the support plate 140 and louver assembly 120 are fitted together, and the rain shield 130 is fitted together with the support plate 140. This ensures that the support plate 140 and louver assembly 120 do not protrude beyond the frame 110, which helps maintain the standard external dimensions of the container and facilitates intermodal transport. To prevent the rain shield 130 and support plate 140 from opening on their own during transport, it is preferable that they remain in the closed state. Specifically, a closing locking part 163 is provided at the end of the rain shield 130 away from the second axis of rotation, and a closing engaging part 164 is provided on the louver assembly 120 and / or the frame 110. When the louvers 100 are closed, the locking member 160 connects to the closing locking part 163 and the closing engaging part 164 to maintain the closed state.
[0054] It should be noted that the aforementioned locking member is screwed into the closing locking part 163 and the closing mating part 164 when in the closed state. When it is necessary to open, it can be screwed out so that the rain shield 130 and the support plate 140 can be rotated. After rotating into place, the locking member that was just screwed out can be screwed into the opening locking part 161 and the opening mating part 162.
[0055] The second aspect of this application is a container, which includes the louvers 100 of the first aspect described above for a container.
[0056] The container according to this utility model has similar technical effects to the louver 100 for containers described in the first aspect above.
[0057] Unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein is for descriptive purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Features described in one embodiment may be applied, alone or in combination with other features, to another embodiment, unless that feature is not applicable in that other embodiment or is otherwise stated.
[0058] This utility model has been described through the above embodiments. However, it should be understood that the above embodiments are only for illustrative purposes. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Many variations and modifications can be made based on the teachings of this utility model, and all such variations and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
