Abstract
Description
An emergency pool connection base adapted to a transport vehicle with guide rails Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of port emergency rescue equipment, specifically relating to an emergency pool connection platform adapted to a transport vehicle with a guide plate. Background Technology
[0002] Emergency pools are core emergency response equipment at container terminals for handling liquid cargo leaks. Their function is to quickly contain leaking containers to prevent the spread of contamination. However, current mainstream emergency pools are too large (they need to accommodate standard containers and are even larger in size) to be compatible with conventional terminal transport vehicles (such as IGVs or container trucks with guide vanes).
[0003] Emergency pools are designed to hold containers and are therefore larger than the containers themselves. However, the horizontal transport vehicles at container terminals are typically designed to fit container dimensions and are equipped with guide rails on all sides. This means that emergency pools cannot be directly placed onto vehicles with guide rails and require special flatbed trucks (without guide rails) for transport. This restricts the movement of emergency pools and affects their speed, failing to meet emergency response requirements. In automated container terminals, this problem is even more pronounced. The main automated horizontal transport tool is the IGV (Intelligent Guided Vehicle), which has its own guide rails and cannot transport emergency pools. Using emergency pools requires coordinating flatbed trucks from outside the terminal or using forklifts. However, forklift use is limited by space constraints, further delaying emergency response time.
[0004] Traditional transportation relies on flatbed trucks without guides or special equipment (such as reach stackers), which leads to the following problems:
[0005] (1) Poor size adaptability: The outer dimensions of the emergency pool need to be larger than those of a standard container, which makes it unsuitable for mainstream terminal transport vehicles with guide plates (such as IGV and container trucks).
[0006] (2) Low transportation efficiency: Relying on flatbed trucks without guides or special equipment (such as front-end cranes), scheduling is time-consuming and operation is limited;
[0007] (3) High operation and maintenance costs: Special equipment requires a license to operate, which significantly increases labor and equipment usage costs;
[0008] (4) In the conventional design of the connecting platform, the center of gravity of the emergency pool with box is too high after it is placed on the connecting platform, which causes safety hazards.
[0009] The aforementioned deficiencies severely restrict the timeliness and cost-effectiveness of emergency rescue, especially in the context of automated terminals, where IGVs cannot directly transport emergency pools, requiring additional resource coordination and further delaying the rescue process.
[0010] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0011] The purpose of this invention is to provide an emergency pool connection platform that is compatible with transport vehicles equipped with guide plates, so as to solve the problem of insufficient compatibility between emergency pools and standardized transport vehicles and improve the efficiency of emergency rescue.
[0012] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0013] An emergency pool connection platform adapted to a transport vehicle with a guide plate includes:
[0014] The pedestal body, viewed from above, is shaped like a cross, with guide plate clearance gaps at the four corners; the middle part of the pedestal body is the load-bearing body, and the outer two rectangular blocks are the balancing bodies; the upper surface of the load-bearing body has multiple locking holes, and the lower surface has multiple positioning holes.
[0015] Preferably, the length, width, and height of the load-bearing body in the middle of the pedestal body are 6.06 × 2.44 × 0.4 m.
[0016] Preferably, the base body has a hollow cavity inside, which is filled with graded sand and gravel; the particle size of the graded sand and gravel is 5~20mm, the compaction density is ≥1.8g / cm³, and the total weight is 6~8 tons.
[0017] Preferably, the lock holes on the upper surface of the load-bearing body are laid out according to the standard layout of container lock holes, matching the lock holes on the top of the emergency pool, and are fixed by semi-automatic locks.
[0018] Preferably, the positioning holes on the lower surface of the load-bearing body correspond to the positions of the positioning cones on the transport vehicle.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] (1) The emergency pool connecting platform of this utility model is adapted to the transport vehicle with guide plate. When viewed from above, it is in the shape of a cross. The four corners are reserved with guide plate avoidance gaps to ensure that the platform body is in direct contact with the vehicle pallet and avoids guide plate interference. The cuboid in the middle of the platform body is the main load-bearing component, and the cuboids on both sides of the outside are the balancing body to maintain the overall balance.
[0021] (2) The emergency pool connecting platform of this utility model is adapted to the transport vehicle with guide plate. The lock hole on the upper surface of the load-bearing body is laid out according to the standard layout of container lock hole, and the positioning hole on the lower surface is preset according to the positioning cone position of the transport vehicle, which can quickly realize the connection with the vehicle.
[0022] (3) The emergency pool connecting platform of this utility model is adapted to the transport vehicle with guide plate.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] Referring to Figure 1, an emergency pool connection platform adapted to a transport vehicle with a guide plate is a modular and detachable structure located between the emergency pool and the transport vehicle, comprising:
[0030] The platform body 1, when viewed from above, is shaped like a cross, with guide plate clearance gaps reserved at the four corners to ensure that the platform body 1 is in direct contact with the vehicle pallet and avoids interference from the guide plate;
[0031] The cuboid in the middle of the pedestal body 1 is the load-bearing body 2, which is the main load-bearing component; the cuboids on both sides of the pedestal body 1 are the balancing bodies 3, which are used to maintain the overall balance.
[0032] The upper surface of the load-bearing body 2 has multiple lock holes arranged according to the standard layout of container lock holes (50mm diameter), which match the lock holes on the top of the emergency pool and are secured by semi-automatic locks.
[0033] Multiple positioning holes are provided on the lower surface of the load-bearing body 2. Positioning holes are preset according to the position of the positioning cone of the transport vehicle, which can realize quick connection with the vehicle.
[0034] In this embodiment, the length and width dimensions of the load-bearing body 2 in the middle of the pedestal body 1 are designed according to the length and width dimensions of a 20-foot container, specifically 6.06 meters long and 2.44 meters wide, to facilitate fixing using the 20-foot container fixing position on the IGV. The height of the load-bearing body 2 is designed according to the height of the guide plate on the IGV, and is 0.4 meters high.
[0035] The hollow cavity inside the base body 1 is filled with graded sand and gravel with a particle size of 5~20mm and a compaction density of ≥1.8g / cm³. The total weight is 6~8 tons, which lowers the overall center of gravity of the emergency pool by 15%~20% after loading, effectively improving transportation stability. It can eliminate, to some extent, the safety hazards caused by the excessively high overall center of gravity of the emergency pool and the connecting base after using the connecting base.
[0036] In the actual installation process, firstly, the pedestal body 1 is lifted onto a transport vehicle with guide plates using a container quay crane spreader. Mechanical fixation is achieved by aligning the positioning holes on the lower surface of the load-bearing body 2 with the positioning cone of the transport vehicle. Next, the emergency pool is lifted above the pedestal body 1. Once the locking holes on the top of the emergency pool are aligned with the locking holes on the upper surface of the load-bearing body 2, a semi-automatic rotary locking device is activated to complete the rigid connection between the emergency pool and the pedestal body 1. After completing these operations, the transport vehicle drives directly to the accident site, requiring no special equipment assistance throughout the process, reducing loading and unloading time to within 10 minutes.
[0037] This utility model presents an emergency pool connection platform adapted to transport vehicles with guide rails, which can effectively improve the speed of emergency response. It is compatible with mainstream port transport vehicles (such as IGVs), eliminating the need for external flatbed truck coordination and improving transportation efficiency by more than 40%. Moreover, the platform body 1 is reusable, and a single platform body 1 can adapt to multiple emergency pools, reducing modification costs by at least 60% compared to large-scale modifications to emergency pools. In addition, it eliminates the need for special equipment (such as reach stackers) and certified operators, saving 50% in labor and equipment costs.
[0038] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings.
