Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model generally relates to the technical field of container structures, and more specifically to a container. Background Technology

[0002] Containers are used to load dry or bulk cargo and are frequently used in both sea and land transportation. The outer surfaces of the rear corner posts of existing containers typically protrude from the outer surface of the rear door panel and are flush with the outer surface of the rear bottom corner fittings. The rear corner posts usually consist of inner corner posts and outer corner posts that intersect with the inner corner posts; that is, the outer surface of the outer corner posts protrudes from the outer surface of the rear door panel. To achieve a seal on the rear door panel, the outer corner posts need to be recessed inwards along the length of the container until they are flush with the rear door panel. To achieve a secure connection between the outer and inner corner posts, welding is usually required, which significantly reduces production efficiency, increases production costs, and is also prone to welding deformation.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide a container that can at least partially solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model description section introduces a series of simplified concepts, which will be further explained in detail in the detailed description section. This utility model description section is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

[0005] To at least partially solve the above problems, the present invention provides a container, the container comprising: a column, the column having a rectangular cross-section;

[0006] A door hinge, wherein the door hinge is disposed on the first outer surface of the column;

[0007] A door panel, which is pivotally connected to the post via the door hinge, and the door panel is flush with the post when closed;

[0008] Two corner brackets are respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the column, and the outer surface of each corner bracket protrudes from the first outer surface of the column along a first direction to a first distance, forming a stepped surface, so that the door hinge does not extend beyond the corner bracket; and

[0009] A reinforcing member is disposed at the top and bottom ends of the first outer surface of the column and is respectively connected to the corresponding corner piece.

[0010] Optionally, a second outer surface, opposite to the first outer surface along the first direction, protrudes from the corner piece.

[0011] Optionally, the reinforcing member is disposed on the stepped surface and connected to the first outer surface of the column.

[0012] Optionally, the top end of the reinforcing member is gradually inclined downward along the first direction to form an inclined surface at the top end of the reinforcing member.

[0013] Optionally, the reinforcing member further includes:

[0014] The vertical outer side has its bottom end connected to the stepped surface and its top end connected to the inclined surface, and the vertical outer side does not protrude beyond the outer side of the corner piece.

[0015] Optionally, the reinforcing member further includes:

[0016] A welding notch, the opening of which faces outward and is formed on both sides of the bottom end face of the reinforcing member.

[0017] Optionally, the reinforcing members are multiple and spaced apart along the first outer surface of the column.

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a container, which includes a column 10, a door hinge 20, a door panel 30, two corner brackets 40, a step surface 50, and a reinforcing member 60. Optionally, the container can be an energy storage container, and its interior can be equipped with devices such as batteries and battery management systems as needed.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in the container of this utility model, the cross-section of the upright 10 of the container is rectangular. Specifically, the cross-section of the upright 10 can be square or rectangular.

[0039] The door hinge 20 is disposed on the first outer surface 11 of the post 10. The first outer surface 11 refers to... Figure 1 The rear side of the container shown.

[0040] The door panel 30 is pivotally connected to the pillar 10 via the door hinge 20, and the door panel 30 is flush with the pillar 10 when closed. Specifically, the outer surface of the door panel 30 when closed is flush with the first outer surface 11 of the pillar 10.

[0041] Two corner pieces 40 are respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the column 10, and the outer side 41 of the corner piece 40 protrudes from the first outer surface 11 of the column 10 to the first distance along the first direction D1 and forms a stepped surface 50, so that the door hinge 20 does not exceed the corner piece 40.

[0042] Two reinforcing members 60 are disposed at the top and bottom of the first outer surface 11 of the column 10 and are respectively connected to the corresponding corner pieces 40. The column 10 of this invention has a rectangular cross-sectional shape. Compared with the existing corner posts with an L-shaped cross-section, the column 10 of this invention is directly integral, eliminating the welding process and reducing the risk of welding deformation, thus greatly reducing the production cost of the container. At the same time, compared with the existing corner posts, which are mostly L-shaped in cross-section, the column 10 of this invention has a rectangular cross-section, effectively improving the structural strength of the column 10 by replacing the existing L-shaped corner posts with the rectangular cross-section of this invention.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the illustrated embodiments, the term "first direction" refers to... Figure 2 The diagram shows the length of the container.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the second outer surface 12, which is opposite to the first outer surface 11 along the first direction D1, protrudes from the corner piece 40. This effectively ensures the structural strength of the column 10.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing member 60 is disposed on the stepped surface 50 and connected to the first outer surface 11 of the column 10. The provision of the reinforcing member 60 can further and effectively enhance the connection strength between the column 10 and the corner piece 40.

[0046] like Figure 2As shown, the top of the reinforcing member 60 gradually slopes downward along the first direction D1, so that an inclined surface 61 is formed at the top of the reinforcing member 60. The inclined surface 61 makes the reinforcing member 60 form a triangular shape, giving it the stability of a triangle, thereby enabling the reinforcing member 60 to have a better stable support function.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcing member 60 also includes a vertical outer surface 62. The bottom end of the vertical outer surface 62 is connected to the stepped surface 50, and the top end is connected to the inclined surface 61. The vertical outer surface 62 does not protrude beyond the outer surface 41 of the corner piece 40. In this way, the vertical outer surface 62 is set perpendicular to the stepped surface 50 and does not protrude beyond the outer surface 41 of the corner piece 40, thereby effectively preventing positional interference of the vertical outer surface 62 of the reinforcing member 60 during transportation.

[0048] It should be noted that the surface of the reinforcing member 60 facing the column 10 is welded to the column 10 as a whole, and the bottom end of the reinforcing member 60 is welded to the stepped surface 50 at the top of the bottom corner piece 40.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this invention, the reinforcing member 60 further includes a welding notch 70, the opening of which faces outward and is formed on both sides of the bottom end of the reinforcing member 60. By forming welding notches 70 on both sides of the bottom end of the reinforcing member 60, the weld penetration depth between the reinforcing member 60 and the corner piece 40 can be increased, ensuring complete weld penetration and thus achieving better weld quality.

[0050] At the same time, it can also prevent burn-through. The design of the welding notch 70 can effectively prevent the heat generated during the welding process from being too concentrated, thereby avoiding the weld from penetrating the reinforcing member 60 and forming a hole.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, there are multiple reinforcing members 60, which are spaced apart along the first outer surface 11 of the column 10. By adding multiple reinforcing members 60, the connection strength between the column 10 and the corner piece 40 can be effectively improved.

[0052] Preferably, the number of reinforcing members 60 can be 2 or 3, etc.

[0053] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the reinforcing member 60 is generally trapezoidal.

[0054] like Figure 2As shown, the column 10 is manufactured as a single piece. In this way, compared with the existing corner columns which are mostly welded together from the inner corner column and the outer corner column, the welding process is eliminated. The column 10 selected in this utility model is a square tube manufactured as a single piece, which will not cause welding deformation, and at the same time, it also effectively saves economic costs.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the column 10 and the corner piece 40 are welded together, which can effectively ensure the connection strength between the column 10 and the corner piece 40.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, one side of the container has an opening (not shown in the figure), and one side of the door panel 30 is hinged to one side of the opening.

[0057] The container of this utility model also includes a sealing element 80, which is disposed around the door panel 30 and can play a good sealing role.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sealing element 80 may be made of rubber or silicone, etc.

[0059] It should be noted that the seal 80 only needs to meet the sealing performance of the door panel 30, and there are no restrictions on the specific material of the seal 80.

[0060] It should also be noted that the upright 10 and the corner piece 40 of this utility model adopt a staggered design, so that when the door panel 30 is closed, the outer surface of the door panel 30 is flush with the first outer surface 11 of the upright 10. In this way, the door panel 30 can be directly welded to the first outer surface 11 of the upright 10 through the door hinge 20, avoiding the misalignment of the first outer surface 11 of the upright 10 and the outer surface of the door panel 30 when closed along the length direction of the container (i.e., the first direction D1). Furthermore, it eliminates the need to construct a notch on the upright 10 to provide installation space for the door hinge 20 that is adapted to connect the door panel 30. In this way, it effectively avoids the situation of reducing the structural strength of the upright 10.
