The opening of the cover plate 7 is bolted to the outer frame of the entrance / exit door 8, and the outer side of the observation window 9 is snapped into the window of the cover plate 7.
[0029] The limiting mechanism is connected to the limiting frame 6 and is used to limit the base 2, support plate 3 and folding plate 4 of the container house.
[0030] With the above structure, the traditional integrated wall is changed into a foldable support plate 3 and folding plate 4, which makes it convenient for users to fold the support plate 3 and folding plate 4 inward to complete the overall folding. The top cover 1 of the container can also be lifted up to open and fix the entire container. Finally, the cover plate 7 is fixed to complete the overall installation.
[0031] Please see Figure 3 The limiting mechanism includes a double-grooved worm gear 10, worm wheels 11, a rotating shaft 12, and locking rods 13. There are two worm wheels 11 and two rotating shafts 12, and four locking rods 13. The tops of the two worm wheels 11 mesh with the teeth of the double-grooved worm gear 10. The axis of the worm wheel 11 is connected to the middle key on the surface of the rotating shaft 12. The two ends of the rotating shaft 12 are respectively connected to the holes at the bottom of the two locking rods 13. The surface of the locking rods 13 is engaged with the inside of the limiting frame 6. A handwheel is keyed to one end of the double-grooved worm gear 10. The handwheel can drive the double-grooved worm gear 10 to rotate. The two sets of teeth of the double-grooved worm gear 10 are opposite. The double-grooved worm gear 10 can drive the two worm wheels 11 to rotate in opposite directions. The worm wheels 11 can drive the rotating shaft 12 to rotate. The rotating shaft 12 can drive the locking rods 13 to rotate. The locking rods 13 can disengage from the limiting frame 6.
[0032] Please see Figure 2 Both ends of the surface of the double-groove worm gear 10 are rotatably sleeved with the bottom of the container base 2, and both ends of the surface of the rotating shaft 12 are rotatably sleeved with the bottom of the container base 2. The double-groove worm gear 10 is rotatably set with the container base 2 through bearings to ensure the smooth rotation of the double-groove worm gear 10. The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably set with the container base 2 through bearings.
[0033] Please see Figure 4 Sealing strips 14 are bonded to the top of the support plate 3 and the bottom of the folding plate 4. The support plate 3 contacts the folding plate 4 through the sealing strips 14. The sealing strips 14 can seal the gap between the support plate 3 and the folding plate 4, reducing the possibility of rainwater seepage.
[0034] Please see Figure 2 Both ends of the support plate 3 are glued with pads 15. The thickness of the pads 15 is the same as the diameter of the hinge lugs 5. The pads 15 can support the folded support plate 3 and folded plate 4 to prevent them from being damaged by hard contact.
[0035] Please see Figure 2 The limiting frames 6 on the support plate 3 and the folding plate 4 correspond to each other. Both the support plate 3 and the folding plate 4 are snapped into the cover plate 7. The cover plate 7 can snap and fix the container roof 1, the container base 2, the support plate 3 and the folding plate 4 to ensure the overall stability. After the limiting frame 6 is snapped into the clamping rod 13, it can prevent the support plate 3 and the folding plate 4 from collapsing and folding during use.
[0036] The operation steps of this utility model are as follows: When the entire container needs to be folded, the snap-fit structure between the cover plate 7 and the container roof 1, container base 2, etc., can adopt a common snap-fit structure in the prior art. When folding is required, the two cover plates 7 are processed and removed, and the entrance door 8 and observation window 9 are made convenient for users. One end of the double-grooved worm gear 10 is keyed to a handwheel, which can drive the double-grooved worm gear 10 to rotate. The two sets of teeth of the double-grooved worm gear 10 are opposite, and the double-grooved worm gear 10 can drive the two worm wheels 11 to rotate in opposite directions. The worm wheels 11 can drive the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 12 can drive the locking rod 13 to rotate. The locking rod 13 can be disengaged. Releasing the limiting frame 6 releases the restrictions on the container base 2, support plate 3, and folding plate 4. The support plate 3 and folding plate 4 can be folded inward using the hinge lug 5, allowing the container roof 1 and container base 2 to fold together. This transforms the traditional integrated wall into a foldable support plate 3 and folding plate 4, making it convenient for users to fold the support plate 3 and folding plate 4 inward. At the same time, when it needs to be opened, the container roof 1 can be lifted upward, and the support plate 3 and folding plate 4 will rotate outward to return to their original positions. Finally, rotating the lever 13 uses the limiting frame 6 to limit the support plate 3 and folding plate 4.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
