[0002] A shipping container is a set of tools that can transport packaged or unpackaged goods and facilitate loading and unloading using mechanical equipment. A shipping container consists of a container body and ventilators attached to the container walls for connecting the air inside and outside the container. Currently, the installation of ventilators requires rivets to be inserted from inside the container body first, then installers connect the ventilator to the rivets from the outside, inserting rivets into the rivets, and finally using a rivet gun to secure the rivets and rivets. During container movement, unriveted rivets can easily slip out of the mounting holes on the container side walls, affecting the operation of the next work station. Furthermore, the sealing structure between the ventilator and the container wall typically has a mounting groove for the seal on the side of the ventilator that is in contact with the container wall. During connection, due to the small contact area of ​​the seal, installers also need to apply sealant between the ventilator and the container wall after riveting to improve the seal. This process often results in long installation times and low installation efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide a container ventilator and a container having the same to at least partially solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] To fully understand the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a container ventilator. The container includes a side wall 200, which has fastener holes (not shown) and a first ventilation hole (not shown). The container ventilator of this utility model is fixedly connected to the first ventilation hole of the container and is disposed on the side wall 200 of the container to allow air circulation between the inside and outside of the container.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the container ventilator according to this utility model includes a connecting plate 110, a housing 120, and fasteners 130.

[0029] The connecting plate 110 has a through hole 111 and is used to be installed on the side wall 200 of the housing and to cover the first ventilation hole.

[0030] The housing 120 is disposed at the edge of the through hole 111 of the connecting plate 110 and protrudes outward in a direction away from the connecting plate 110. The interior of the housing 120 has a cavity 121, and the bottom side wall 122 of the housing 120 has a second ventilation hole 123.

[0031] Fastener 130 is integrally formed with connecting plate 110, and fastener 130 is used to insert into fastener hole. Specifically, the container ventilator in this utility model adds connecting plate 110 and adds housing 120 at through hole 111 of connecting plate 110, so that housing 120 protrudes outward relative to connecting plate 110. By providing second ventilation hole 123 on bottom side wall 122 of housing 120, the first ventilation hole on side wall 200 of container body is connected to the second ventilation hole 123 through cavity 121 of housing 120. In this way, air circulation between the inside and outside of container is realized, and the purpose of ventilating the inside of container is achieved. Furthermore, the container ventilator in this utility model is equipped with a fastener 130. By integrally molding the fastener 130 with the connecting plate 110, during installation, the installer only needs to insert the fastener 130 on the outside of the container side wall 200 into the fastener hole of the container side wall 200. Then, the installer installs the rivet on the inside of the container and uses a rivet gun to fix the rivet and rivet, thereby achieving a fixed connection of the container ventilator. This makes the installation of the container ventilator faster and more convenient. At the same time, it can also effectively prevent the fastener 130 from slipping out of the fastener hole on the container side wall 200 during the movement of the container, ensuring the normal operation of the next process.

[0032] Preferably, the head of the fastener 130 is integrally injection molded onto the connecting plate 110.

[0033] It should also be noted that there may be multiple second ventilation holes 123, which are spaced apart on the bottom sidewall 122 of the housing 120.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, there are at least two fasteners 130, respectively disposed at the top end 112 and the bottom end 113 of the connecting plate 110. This ensures the reliability of the connecting plate 110 installed on the side wall 200 of the housing.

[0035] Preferably, the fastener 130 can have two at the top and one at the bottom, thus forming a triangular fixed installation method, further ensuring the stability of the connecting plate 110 installed on the side wall 200 of the housing.

[0036] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the fastener 130 may be a bolt or a rivet.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the container ventilator further includes a sealing element 140. The sealing element 140 is disposed on the surface of the connecting plate 110 facing the side wall 200 of the container body, and is located between the side wall 200 of the container body and the connecting plate 110. Specifically, the connecting plate 110 is covered by the sealing element 140, which covers the three adjacent sides of the connecting plate 110. In this case, the sealing element 140 is an integral structure to increase the sealing area between the connecting plate 110 and the side wall 200 of the container body, improve the sealing performance, and eliminate the need for additional sealant application, effectively improving the installation efficiency of the container ventilator.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the sealing element 140 is disposed on the left, right and top sides of the connecting plate 110 facing the side wall 200 of the housing. By adding the sealing element 140 between the connecting plate 110 and the side wall 200 of the housing, the sealing performance between the connecting plate 110 and the side wall 200 of the housing can be effectively improved.

[0039] Preferably, the sealing element 140 can be a silicone strip, rubber strip, etc., which can achieve sealing while also having good structural strength.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the sealing member 140 is an integral structure. One of the sealing member 140 and the connecting plate 110 has a protrusion 150, and the other of the sealing member 140 and the connecting plate 110 has a recess 160. The protrusion 150 and the recess 160 are tightly fitted together. Specifically, taking the example of the connecting plate 110 having a recess 160 and the sealing member 140 having a protrusion 150, at least one side of the recess 160 extends outward with an edge, that is, the edge forms the sidewall of the recess 160. When connected, the edge is in close contact with the sidewall surface of the connecting plate 110, and at this time, the edge contacts the outer sidewall surface of the connecting plate 110.

[0041] More preferably, the sealing member 140 has a side edge on each of its two opposite sides, that is, a recess 160 is formed between the two side edges, one side edge contacts the outer wall surface of the connecting plate 110, and the other side edge contacts the wall surface of the cavity 121 of the housing 120, so as to cover the connecting plate 110 inside the sealing member 140.

[0042] To better position the seal 140 and the connecting plate 110, the seal 140 has a protrusion 150 in the middle, and the connecting plate 110 has a recess 160 that matches the protrusion 150. During installation, the protrusion 150 is inserted into the recess 160, and the protrusion 150 and the recess 160 are tightly fitted, thereby achieving a sealed connection between the connecting plate 110 and the seal 140.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the container ventilator further includes reinforcing members 170. The reinforcing members 170 are disposed within the housing 120 and are respectively connected to the first side wall 124, the top side wall 125, and the second side wall 126 of the housing 120. The first side wall 124 and the second side wall 126 are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively connected to the corresponding side of the top side wall 125. A plurality of reinforcing members 170 are disposed within the cavity 121 of the housing 120. The reinforcing members 170 are integrally formed within the cavity 121 of the housing 120. Specifically, the reinforcing members 170 are integrally formed on three sequentially adjacent inner side walls of the housing 120 to improve the strength and rigidity of the container ventilator of this utility model. Simultaneously, the plurality of reinforcing members 170 are spaced apart along the length direction of the housing 120 and are evenly distributed within the cavity 121 of the housing 120.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the reinforcing member 170 is a reinforcing rib, a reinforcing plate, or a U-shaped plate with an opening facing the side wall 200 of the housing. The reinforcing rib, reinforcing plate, or U-shaped plate with an opening facing the side wall 200 of the housing is integrally formed and connected to the inner side of the housing 120, serving to support the housing 120 and enhance the overall structural strength of the housing 120.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the connecting plate 110 and the housing 120 are integrally formed. This has the advantages of high manufacturing efficiency and simple manufacturing.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the container ventilator further includes a drainage groove 180 disposed at the bottom end of the connecting plate 110. The opening of the drainage groove 180 faces the side wall 200 of the container body. The drainage groove 180 and the side wall 200 of the container body together form a drainage channel. The top inlet of the drainage channel is connected to the cavity 121. The lower end of the connecting plate 110 of the container ventilator is provided with a drainage groove 180. The drainage groove 180 is a groove recessed from the end face of the connecting plate 110 inward. The drainage groove 180 connects the cavity 121 of the housing 120 and the outside of the container ventilator to drain the water in the cavity 121 of the container ventilator to the outside of the container ventilator of this utility model.

[0047] Preferably, there may be multiple drainage channels 180, and the multiple drainage channels 180 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the connecting plate 110. In this way, the drainage volume within the cavity 121 per unit time can be increased.

[0048] It should be noted that the container ventilator in this utility model, by setting the second ventilation hole 123 on the bottom side wall 122 of the housing 120, can effectively prevent rainwater or dust in the air from falling into the cavity 121, compared with setting the second ventilation hole 123 on the top side wall of the housing 120, and has the effect of dustproof and rainproof.

[0049] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a container is also provided, including the container ventilator described in the above embodiments.

[0050] In summary, the container ventilator of this utility model adds a connecting plate 110 and a housing 120 at the through hole 111 of the connecting plate 110, with the housing 120 protruding outward relative to the connecting plate 110. By providing a second ventilation hole 123 on the bottom side wall 122 of the housing 120, the first ventilation hole on the side wall 200 of the container can be connected to the second ventilation hole 123 through the cavity 121 of the housing 120. In this way, air circulation between the inside and outside of the container is achieved, thus achieving the purpose of ventilating the inside of the container. Furthermore, the container ventilator in this utility model is equipped with a fastener 130. By integrally molding the fastener 130 with the connecting plate 110, during installation, the installer only needs to insert the fastener 130 on the outside of the container side wall 200 into the fastener hole of the container side wall 200. Then, the installer installs the rivet on the inside of the container and uses a rivet gun to fix the rivet and rivet, thereby achieving a fixed connection of the container ventilator. This makes the installation of the container ventilator faster and more convenient. At the same time, it can also effectively prevent the fastener 130 from slipping out of the fastener hole on the container side wall 200 during the movement of the container, ensuring the normal operation of the next process.

[0051] This utility model integrates fasteners 130 into the connecting plate 110 of the container ventilator. During installation, the fasteners 130 on the container ventilator can be directly passed through the fastener holes on the side wall 200 of the container body. Furthermore, the container ventilator of this utility model uses a sealing element 140 to cover the connecting plate 110, so that no glue is needed when connecting the container ventilator to the side wall 200 of the container body. At the same time, several reinforcing elements 170 are provided in the cavity 121 of the container ventilator, which effectively improves the overall structural strength of the container ventilator.
