Due to the lightweight, environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant, and excellent thermal insulation properties of composite materials, containers using composite materials are becoming increasingly popular.
[0003] However, containers made of composite materials are not strong enough and are prone to deformation.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a container to at least partially solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

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.
[0040] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting.
[0041] In this document, ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” used in this invention are merely identifiers and do not include any other meaning, such as a specific order.
[0042] 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. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may also include other embodiments.
[0043] This utility model provides a shipping container. The container includes a base frame 110 and an upper body 120. The bottom of the upper body 120 is removably covered by the base frame 110, allowing the container to form a split structure. The side panels of the container are made of composite material panels 123. Thus, compared to steel plates, the composite material panels 123 improve the container's weight, environmental performance, corrosion resistance, and thermal insulation performance. The side walls of the upper body 120 have columns 130, which are connected to the bottom side beams 111 of the base frame 110, thereby reducing the bending deformation of the bottom side beams 111.
[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The container includes a base frame 110. The base frame 110 can be an existing container base frame. The base frame 110 includes bottom side beams 111 and bottom end beams. The bottom side beams 111 and bottom end beams are connected in sequence to form a rectangular frame. The base frame 110 also includes bottom corner brackets. The bottom corner brackets are provided at the corners of the base frame 110 so that the container can be secured by the bottom corner brackets.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom side beam 111 is provided with a stop block 113. The stop block 113 has a stop block hole 114. The stop block hole 114 is a circular through hole. The axial direction of the stop block hole 114 extends along the height direction of the base frame 110.
[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the container also includes an upper body 120. The upper body 120 has side walls, end walls, and a top wall. The side walls, end walls, and top wall form a generally rectangular parallelepiped structure. The upper body 120 has an opening at its bottom end. The upper body 120 is removably covered by the underframe 110, so that the underframe 110 closes the bottom opening of the upper body 120, thereby forming the internal space of the container. Thus, after goods are placed on the underframe 110, they can be transported by covering the underframe 110 with the upper body 120.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The upper container 120 has side walls 122 and end walls. Both the side walls 122 and end walls include composite material panels 123. As a result, the use of composite material panels 123 reduces the weight of the upper container 120 and also increases the container's environmental performance, corrosion resistance, and thermal insulation performance.
[0048] The upper housing 120 has corner posts 121, a top frame, and corner brackets. The side walls 122 include uprights 130. The top frame includes top side beams and top beams. The top side beams and top beams connect to form a rectangular frame. The top side beams are located directly above the bottom side beams 111. The top beams are located directly above the bottom beams. Corner brackets are located at the corners of the top frame. The length directions of both the corner posts 121 and the uprights 130 are parallel to the height direction of the upper housing 120. The corner posts 121 are located at the corners of the upper housing 120. The bottom end of the corner posts 121 connects to the corner of the base frame 110. The top end of the corner posts 121 connects to the corner of the top frame.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the column 130 is connected to the composite material plate 123 of the side wall 122. The column 130 is located on the side of the upper box 120. Along the length of the upper box 120, the column 130 is located between the two ends of the upper box 120. Along the length of the upper box 120, the column 130 is located on the inner side of the corner column 121 near the center of the upper box 120. Along the length of the upper box 120, the column 130 and the corner column 121 are spaced apart. The top end of the column 130 is connected to the top side beam. The bottom end of the column 130 has a connecting part 131 corresponding to the stop block 113. The connecting part 131 has a connecting through hole 132. The connecting through hole 132 is fitted onto the stop block 113.
[0050] Because the upper housing 120 is quite heavy, it is inconvenient to install when it needs to be connected to the base frame 110. Therefore, when it is necessary to connect the upper housing 120 to the base frame 110, the hoisting equipment lifts the upper housing 120 to directly above the base frame 110. During the descent of the upper housing 120, the connecting through hole 132 is fitted onto the stop block 113, which allows for quick adjustment of the relative position between the upper housing 120 and the base frame 110, thereby facilitating the installation of the first fastener 140 and the second fastener 150 described later.
[0051] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5The container also includes a first fastener 140 and a second fastener 150. The first fastener 140 has a rod portion 141 and a head 142. The rod portion 141 is cylindrical and has external threads. The radial dimension of a portion of the head 142 is greater than the outer diameter of the rod portion 141. The head 142 is located directly above the connecting portion 131. The rod portion 141 is rotatably inserted into a stop hole 114. The second fastener 150 has internal threads. The second fastener 150 is located below the stop 113. The second fastener 150 is threaded to the portion of the rod portion 141 extending below the stop 113, thereby connecting the upper container 120 to the base frame 110.
[0052] In this way, the column 130 connects the top side beam and the bottom side beam 111. A lifting structure (such as a lifting ring) can be set at the connection between the top side beam and the column 130 to lift the upper box 120 or container, thereby reducing the deformation of the upper box 120.
[0053] In this embodiment, the composite material plate 123 reduces the weight of the upper box 120 and also increases the container's environmental performance, corrosion resistance, and thermal insulation performance. The block 113 and the connecting part 131 allow for quick adjustment of the relative position between the upper box 120 and the base frame 110, thereby facilitating the installation of the first fastener 140 and the second fastener 150. Furthermore, the upper box 120 is connected to the bottom side beam 111 of the base frame 110 via the column 130, which reduces the bending deformation of the bottom side beam 111, increases the strength of the container, and reduces container deformation.
[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom side beam 111 has an upper flange 112, a web, and a lower flange. The upper flange 112 is located above the lower flange. The upper flange 112 and the lower flange are spaced apart. The web is located between the upper flange 112 and the lower flange. The upper end of the web is connected to the upper flange 112. The lower end of the web is connected to the lower flange.
[0055] The stop block 113 is located above the upper wing plate 112. The lower end of the stop block 113 is welded to the upper wing plate 112. The upper wing plate 112 has a wing plate through hole communicating with the stop block hole 114. The rod portion 141 passes through the stop block hole 114 and then through the wing plate through hole. The second fastener 150 is located between the upper wing plate 112 and the lower wing plate. The second fastener 150 is threaded to the portion of the rod portion 141 located below the upper wing plate 112. Thus, the bottom end of the upper housing 120 can be positioned directly above the upper wing plate 112, and the base frame 110 can more stably support the upper housing 120.
[0056] Furthermore, the bottom side beam 111 can be an I-beam. This facilitates the selection of the bottom side beam 111.
[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the head 142 overlaps the top surface of the stop 113. Thus, when there is a gap between the connecting part 131 and the bottom side beam 111, the upper housing 120 and the base frame 110 can also be connected by the first fastener 140 and the second fastener 150.
[0058] For further information, please continue to refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The head 142 has a connecting bottom surface 145. The connecting bottom surface 145 is located on the side of the step portion 143 (described later) in the horizontal direction. The connecting portion 131 is located at the connecting bottom surface 145. The top surface of the connecting portion 131 can fit against the connecting bottom surface 145. Along the height direction of the upper housing 120, the distance between the connecting bottom surface 145 and the bottom surface of the stop block 113 is not less than the height dimension of the connecting portion 131. Thus, if there is a gap between the bottom end of the upper housing 120 (the bottom end of the connecting portion 131) and the bottom side beam 111, the first fastener 140 and the second fastener 150 can also connect the upper housing 120 to the base frame 110.
[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top surface of the stop 113 is located below the top surface of the connecting portion 131. The head 142 has a stepped portion 143. The bottom surface of the stepped portion 143 abuts against the top surface of the stop 113. Thus, the stop 113 can be protected.
[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, a portion of the top surface of the stop 113 is recessed downwards to form a stop groove 115. The stop groove 115 has a groove plane 116. The head 142 has a head plane 144. The head 142 can extend into the stop groove 115 so that the groove plane 116 and the head plane 144 are parallel. Specifically, the head 142 is a head strip structure with two parallel head planes 144. When the head 142 is connected to the base frame 110, the length direction of the head 142 is parallel to the width direction of the upper housing 120. Thus, the parallel arrangement of the groove plane 116 and the head plane 144 can prevent the head 142 from rotating relative to the stop 113.
[0061] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The stop block 113 is a strip-shaped structure. The length of the stop block 113 extends along the length of the upper housing 120. The connecting through hole 132 is a strip-shaped hole corresponding to the strip-shaped structure of the stop block. The length of the connecting through hole 132 extends along the length of the upper housing 120. Therefore, the connection strength between the stop block 113 and the connecting part 131 is high.
[0062] Optionally, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the second fastener 150 includes a body 151 and a mating portion 152. The mating portion 152 is located above the body 151. The mating portion 152 is connected to the body 151. The mating portion 152 has a rectangular structure. The mating portion 152 is used to mat the bottom surface of the upper flange 112. Therefore, the contact area between the mating portion 152 and the upper flange 112 is large, resulting in high friction.
[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the body 151 protrudes to form a protrusion 153. This facilitates the rotation of the body 151.
[0064] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 2 The maximum dimension of the connecting through hole 132 along the length direction of the upper housing 120 is the hole length dimension. The maximum dimension of the connecting through hole 132 along the width direction of the upper housing 120 is the hole width dimension. The hole length dimension is greater than the hole width dimension. The head strip structure corresponds to the strip hole. The head length dimension of the head strip structure is greater than the head width dimension. The head length dimension corresponds to the hole length dimension. The head width dimension corresponds to the hole width dimension. Thus, the head length dimension is slightly smaller than the hole length dimension, and the head width dimension is slightly smaller than the hole width dimension.
[0065] The head 142 can rotate to an unlocked position where its length extends along the length of the connecting through hole 132. When the head 142 is in the unlocked position, the shape of the head projection on the projection plane perpendicular to the rod 141 is approximately the same as the shape of the hole projection on the projection plane of the connecting through hole 132, so that the upper housing 120 can move upward away from the head 142, thereby opening the upper housing 120. At this time, the head does not obstruct the connecting part 131.
[0066] The head 142 can rotate to a locked position that is offset from the unlocked position. When the head 142 is in the locked position, the length direction of the head 142 intersects (e.g., is perpendicular) the length direction of the connecting through hole 132. The head 142 blocks the connecting part 131, thereby preventing the upper housing 120 from moving upward away from the head 142.
[0067] Thus, when it is necessary to connect the upper housing 120 to the base frame 110, the head 142 is rotated to the unlocked position. In this position, the length direction of the head 142, the length direction of the stop 113, and the length direction of the connecting through hole 132 are approximately parallel. The connecting through hole 132 is then fitted onto the stop 113 after passing through the head 142. This moves the head 142 above the connecting portion 131. Then, the first fastener 140 is rotated to rotate the head 142 to the locked position. In this position, the length direction of the head 142 intersects (or is offset from) the length direction of the connecting through hole 132, for example, the length direction of the head 142 extends along the width direction of the upper housing 120. The head 142 can block the upward movement of the connecting portion 131, thereby preventing the connecting portion 131 from moving upward away from the base frame 110. Then, the head 142 is moved downward to enter the stop groove 115. In this position, the stop groove 115 prevents the head 142 from rotating. Then the second fastener 150 can be tightened so that the second fastener 150 grips the upper wing plate 112, thereby locking the upper housing 120 to the base frame 110.
[0068] When it is necessary to remove the upper housing 120 from the base frame 110, loosen the second fastener 150, and then move the head 142 upward so that the head 142 disengages from the stop groove 115. Then rotate the head 142 to the unlocked position. In this way, the length direction of the head 142 is approximately parallel to the length direction of the connecting through hole 132, and the head 142 does not obstruct the upward movement of the connecting part 131. The head 142 can pass through the connecting through hole 132. Then move the upper housing 120 upward to remove it from the base frame 110. Thus, the upper housing 120 can be removed from the base frame 110 without removing the second fastener 150 and the first fastener 140.
[0069] Optionally, the container may also include a ventilator installed on the column 130.
