Description

A type of top-flip container Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, specifically to a top-flip container. Background Technology

[0002] Early container design focused on providing large internal storage space to meet basic cargo transportation requirements. However, with the development of the logistics industry and the diversification of operational scenarios, relying solely on the internal space of containers is far from sufficient. In practical applications, such as equipment maintenance, maintenance personnel often require a relatively stable working environment free from external interference. Traditional containers cannot provide such external space, forcing maintenance personnel to operate in the open, making them susceptible to the effects of wind, rain, dust, and other external factors. This not only reduces the efficiency of maintenance work but may also damage the equipment and components being repaired.

[0003] Traditional containers also have shortcomings in temporary warehousing and material transshipment. When certain items need to be temporarily stored or transshipped, a space that can block sunlight and isolate them from the external environment may be required to ensure the safety and stability of the goods. However, traditional containers cannot meet this need due to their inefficient use of external space, requiring the construction of additional temporary facilities, which increases both cost and time.

[0004] Furthermore, the external space of traditional containers is often left idle during transportation, resulting in a waste of space resources. Moreover, the limited internal space function restricts the application scenarios of containers, making them unable to adapt to changes in different industries and operational needs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a top-flip container, which solves the technical problem that in the prior art, containers can only use the internal space and the external space utilization rate is low.

[0024] An overlapping plate is provided at the end of the second flap, and the overlapping plates of two oppositely arranged containers abut against each other, forming a sealed space.

[0025] For example, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a top-flip container, wherein the second flip has a leak-proof baffle located on one side of the first flip. After the second flip swings, the leak-proof baffle is used to abut against the upper side of the first flip to prevent water leakage.

[0026] For example, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a top-tilt container, which further includes:

[0027] The lighting includes several lights, which are respectively installed on the side of the first and second flaps facing the obstructed space.

[0028] For example, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a top-flip container, wherein the first flip has a first mounting slot and a second mounting slot, the first mounting slot and the second mounting slot being used to accommodate the first swing drive and the second swing drive after the first flip has swung.

[0050] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, a top-flip container is illustrated in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] In some examples, such as those shown in Figures 1-3, the interior of container 1 serves as a material storage space, featuring large capacity and a robust structure, capable of safely storing various materials. The top mounting slot 101 and notch 102 provide a foundation for the installation and movement of the first flap 2, the second flap 3, and the curtain 17. The notch 102 ensures that the first flap 2 can swing freely, allowing the top structure of container 1 to be flexibly converted without affecting the internal material storage function, while also creating conditions for the construction of the external shelter space 5.

[0052] The first flap 2 can be switched between inside and outside the top mounting slot 101 by swinging on one side of the notch 102. When it is swung into the top mounting slot 101, it retracts to reduce space occupation. When it is swung out, it creates an external shielding space 5, which facilitates the subsequent cooperation of the second flap 3 and the curtain 17 to quickly form an external sealed area.

[0053] The second flap 3, hinged to the first flap 2, swings flexibly. When unfolded, it expands the top extension range together with the first flap 2, allowing the curtain 17 to enclose a larger area of ​​the shielding space 5; when retracted, it saves space, does not interfere with the normal transportation of the container 1 and the storage of internal materials, and enhances the flexibility and adjustability of the external shielding space 5.

[0054] Two shielding rails 4 are respectively installed on the sides of the first flap 2 and the second flap 3. After the second flap 3 swings, the two rails 401 are opposite to each other or connected, providing a stable track for the curtain 17 to slide. This ensures that the curtain 17 slides smoothly during the construction of the shielding space 5, accurately covering the required area, while ensuring the integrity of the sealed space and preventing external airflow, rainwater, etc. from entering.

[0055] The curtain 17 slides along the shielding rail 4, forming a shielding space 5 with the container 1. Outside the container, the curtain 17 can be quickly deployed to create an independent, enclosed space or shielded area. When used for maintenance, it provides maintenance personnel with a relatively stable working environment free from external interference, isolating them from wind, rain, and dust, and protecting maintenance equipment and parts. For other purposes, such as temporary storage or material transfer, it effectively blocks sunlight, isolates the external environment, and ensures the safety and stability of items within the area.

[0056] Flip-top containers combine internal material storage with external shelter functionality. The large internal capacity meets various material storage needs, while the external structure, through the coordinated operation of the first flip-top 2, the second flip-top 3, the sheltering rails 4, and the curtain 17, can quickly create diverse sheltered spaces 5. Whether for equipment maintenance, temporary storage, or other special purposes, it provides a safe, stable, and undisturbed environment. Compared to traditional containers, it offers richer functionality and more application scenarios, enhancing the practicality and adaptability of containers in logistics transportation and related operations.

[0057] In some examples, such as those shown in Figures 1-3 and Figure 6, the fixing chain 6 connects the bottom connecting part of the top mounting slot 101 to the middle fixing part of the second flap 3, providing a stable support connection point for the second flap 3. After the second flap 3 finishes swinging, the fixing chain 6 plays a positioning and restraining role, preventing the second flap 3 from swinging excessively or wobbling, ensuring that the second flap 3 can swing according to the designed angle and range. At the same time, when the flap structure unfolds to form the shelter space 5, the fixing chain 6 bears part of the tensile force, transferring the force of the second flap 3 to the container top mounting slot 101, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the second flap 3 and ensuring its stability during use.

[0058] The reinforcing chain 7 connects the fixed chain 6 to the first flap 2. When the first flap 2 and the second flap 3 swing, a triangular structure is formed between the reinforcing chain 7 and the fixed chain 6. Triangles provide stability, and this structural design greatly enhances the overall stability and strength of the flap structure. Overall effect.

[0059] The installation of fixed chain 6 and reinforcing chain 7 enhances the performance of the flapper container's flap structure. The triangular structure formed by these two chains effectively strengthens the stability and structural strength of the first flapper 2 and the second flapper 3 during oscillation, reducing the risk of flap swaying and deformation. When constructing the sheltered space 5, the stable flap structure better supports the curtain 17, ensuring the integrity and airtightness of the sheltered space and providing more reliable protection for maintenance operations, temporary storage, and other applications.

[0060] In some examples, such as those shown in Figures 1, 2, and 7, the first swing drive 8 and the second swing drive 9 automate and upgrade the flipping operation of the tilting container. Working together, they can quickly and accurately adjust the positions of the first tilting plate 2 and the second tilting plate 3 according to actual needs, efficiently constructing different sizes of covering spaces 5, thus improving the container's utilization efficiency and convenience. Simultaneously, the automated drive reduces human interference, ensuring the stability and consistency of the flipping operation, and improving the equipment's reliability and service life.

[0061] In some examples, such as as shown in Figure 4, when the second swing drive 9 is activated, the motion of the drive end is transmitted to the first link 10 and the second link 11 through the hinge point. Utilizing the transmission of the linkage mechanism, the power of the drive is converted into the swinging power of the second flap 3. This structural design makes the swinging of the second flap 3 more stable, avoiding the shaking or instability caused by direct drive, ensuring that the second flap 3 can accurately reach the predetermined position during the swinging process, and providing a reliable guarantee for the stable construction of the shielding space 5.

[0062] The hinged design of the first link 10, the second link 11, and the second swing drive 9 forms a flexible and stable transmission system. During the swinging process of the second flap 3, the two links can adaptively adjust the swing amplitude and direction according to the driving angle and force of the second swing drive 9, so as to realize the swinging of the second flap 3 at multiple angles and in multiple ranges.

[0063] In some examples, such as those shown in Figures 1-3, the overlapping plate 12 is located at the end of the second flap 3. When there are several sets of containers 1 arranged opposite each other, the overlapping plates 12 of the two opposite containers 1 abut against each other. This abutting method can effectively fill the gap between adjacent containers 1. When constructing the shielding space 5, the overlapping plate 12 works in conjunction with the curtain 17 and the flap structure to form a complete and enclosed space.

[0064] From the perspective of wind and rain protection, the abutment structure of the overlapping plate 12 prevents external wind and rain from entering the interior of the sheltered space 5 through the gap of the container 1, providing a stable environment for maintenance operations, temporary storage and other activities.

[0065] In some examples, such as those shown in Figures 1-3, the leak-proof baffle 301 enhances the environmental adaptability and reliability of the flap container. By constructing a leak-proof structure between the first flap 2 and the second flap 3, the airtightness and protection of the sheltered space 5 are effectively improved, allowing it to function stably under various weather conditions. Whether used for maintenance, warehousing, or other purposes, the leak-proof baffle 301 ensures environmental stability within the sheltered space 5, reduces potential risks and losses due to rainwater leakage, and extends the service life of materials and equipment inside the container.

[0066] In some examples, such as Figure 4, the installation of lighting 13 enhances the functionality and practicality of the concealed space 5 of the flip-top container. By rationally arranging lighting equipment on the flip-top, the lighting problem inside the concealed space 5 is solved, providing users with good lighting support in various usage scenarios and environmental conditions. Whether for maintenance, warehousing, or other purposes, sufficient and stable lighting improves the working experience and efficiency, while ensuring the safety of personnel and goods.

[0067] In some examples, such as those shown in Figures 5 and 6, the first mounting slot 201 and the second mounting slot 202 of the first flap 2 provide accommodating space for the first swing drive component 8 and the second swing drive component 9 after the first flap 2 swings. This design effectively solves the problem of storing the drive components. When the first flap 2 is placed into the top mounting slot 101, the first swing drive component 8 and the second swing drive component 9 can be embedded in the corresponding mounting slots, making the entire flap structure more compact. On the one hand, it avoids damage to the drive components from external forces such as collisions and friction due to exposure, protecting the performance and service life of the drive components; on the other hand, the concealed installation method reduces the contact between the drive components and the external environment, preventing dust, rainwater, etc. from entering the interior of the drive components, reducing the risk of failure caused by environmental factors.

[0068] The mounting slot integrates the drive unit with the first flap 2, eliminating the need for additional space on the top of the container or other external areas. This ensures a clean and streamlined appearance for the container and facilitates its stacking and transportation. Simultaneously, during the swinging motion of the first flap 2, the mounting slot limits and secures the drive unit, ensuring its stable position during operation. This guarantees the accuracy and reliability of the swinging motion of both the first and second flaps 3, preventing displacement of the drive unit from affecting the normal operation of the flaps.

[0069] The design of the first mounting slot 201 and the second mounting slot 202 on the first flap 2 reduces equipment maintenance costs and extends service life by effectively storing and protecting the driving components; the compact structural design optimizes space utilization and enhances the convenience of the container during transportation and storage; the stable installation method of the driving components ensures the accurate execution of the flap action, making the construction of the shielding space 5 more efficient and reliable.

[0070] In some examples, such as Figure 4, several auxiliary slide rails 14 are respectively set on the side of the first flap 2 and the second flap 3 facing the shielding space 5, providing a stable track foundation for the sliding of the mounting ring 15 and related structures. The presence of the auxiliary slide rails also enhances the structural stability of the shielding space 5. The evenly distributed slide rails can better distribute the weight and force of the installation structure, avoiding deformation or damage to the flaps due to excessive local force. The mounting ring 15 is slidably set on the auxiliary slide rails 14. As a key component connecting the auxiliary slide rails and related structures, it enables convenient installation and movement of related structures. Its sliding characteristics allow users to easily install various equipment or tools into the shielding space 5 and flexibly adjust their positions when needed. In addition, the setting of the mounting ring 15 also facilitates the disassembly and replacement of related structures. When a structure needs repair or replacement, it can be quickly removed from the auxiliary slide rails 14. The operation is simple and convenient, reducing the time and cost of equipment maintenance.

[0071] In some examples, such as Figure 1, the directional pulley 16 enhances the performance of the flap-type container curtain 17 system. By effectively guiding the curtain 17's traction rope and reducing friction, the directional pulley makes the curtain 17's raising and lowering operations easier and smoother, improving operational efficiency and convenience. Simultaneously, it extends the service life of the traction rope, reduces equipment maintenance costs, and enhances the stability and reliability of the entire curtain 17 system. In practical applications, whether for maintenance, warehousing, or other uses, the directional pulley ensures the rapid construction and effective use of covered spaces.
