Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of modular cabin structure technology, specifically a modular cabin structure with an internal U-shaped air duct. Background Technology
[0002] As a mobile work and living space, modular shelters are widely used in many fields such as military, medical, emergency rescue, and field operations. They typically need to operate in complex environments such as the field, and the interior must be equipped with air conditioning and other equipment to regulate air temperature and humidity, providing a suitable working and living environment for personnel, ensuring their comfort and work efficiency, and ensuring that various electronic devices can operate normally under suitable temperature and humidity conditions.
[0003] The shortcomings of existing modular shelter structures are as follows:
[0004] 1. Direct Airflow Issues: Traditional modular shelters often feature straight or simply curved airflow designs, with the air conditioning system blowing cold or hot air directly onto personnel or equipment inside. This direct airflow can easily cause discomfort, such as chills from cold air or overheating from hot air. Prolonged exposure to such an environment may negatively impact personnel health. For delicate electronic equipment, direct airflow can lead to excessively low or high temperatures, affecting normal operation and lifespan, and potentially causing equipment malfunctions, thereby impacting the overall functionality and mission execution of the modular shelter.
[0005] 2. Insufficient adaptability to outdoor environments: In field operations or camping scenarios, modular shelters not only need to meet basic environmental regulation requirements but also require flexible space expansion capabilities and environmental protection functions. Existing modular shelters typically have fixed and simple external structures, lacking quickly adaptable multi-functional expansion components. For example, when personnel need to temporarily camp, eat, or place equipment outside the shelter, traditional modular shelters struggle to provide convenient expansion platforms or temporary workbenches, failing to meet the diverse usage needs in outdoor scenarios. Furthermore, existing sunshade and rain protection structures are mostly fixed or cumbersome to operate, making it difficult to quickly adjust to weather changes (such as direct sunlight or sudden rainfall), resulting in poor comfort in the outdoor activity area.
[0006] Therefore, a container structure with an internal U-shaped air duct is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a container structure with an internal U-shaped air duct.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a container structure with an internal U-shaped air duct, comprising a container shell, an upper decorative panel installed on the inner top wall of the container shell, a set of U-shaped air ducts installed on the bottom surface of the upper decorative panel, a sunshade mechanism provided on the upper surface of the container shell, and an extension mechanism provided on the side of the container shell. The sunshade mechanism includes an inclined shell fixedly connected to the upper surface of the container shell, a sunshade plate slidably connected inside the inclined shell, and the extension mechanism includes a connecting plate and a locking pin fixedly connected to the side of the container shell, with an extension plate hinged to the connecting plate.
[0009] Preferably, the above-mentioned container structure with an internal U-shaped air duct is provided with a dustproof mesh cover inside the U-shaped air duct.
[0010] Preferably, in the above-mentioned container structure with an internal U-shaped air duct, a set of air diversion channels are provided inside the sunshade, and hook plates are fixedly connected to the sides of the air diversion channels.
[0011] Preferably, in the above-mentioned container structure with an internal U-shaped air duct, a protective shell is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inclined shell, a motor is installed on the inner top wall of the protective shell, a lead screw is installed at the output end of the motor, a square tube is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw, the square tube is slidably connected to the interior of the inclined shell, and the bottom end of the square tube is slidably inserted into the interior of the sunshade.
[0012] Preferably, in the above-mentioned container structure with an internal U-shaped air duct, a handle is fixedly connected to the side of the expansion plate, and the bottom end of the locking pin is slidably inserted into the interior of the expansion plate.
[0013] Preferably, in the above-mentioned container structure with an internal U-shaped air duct, the top of the container shell is provided with an installation plate, the installation plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inclined shell, the upper surface of the installation plate is equipped with a solar photovoltaic panel, and the inner bottom wall of the container shell is equipped with a battery pack.
[0014] Preferably, in the above-described container structure with an internal U-shaped air duct, a lighting lamp is installed on the bottom surface of the upper decorative panel.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a U-shaped air duct structure, this utility model avoids directing the cold or hot air generated by the air conditioner onto the personnel and equipment inside the cabin. Instead, the air is directed towards the side walls of the cabin, preventing discomfort such as body parts being chilled by direct cold air or dryness caused by direct hot air.

[0023] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0024] like Figures 1-5As shown, a container structure with internal U-shaped air ducts includes a container shell 1, an upper decorative panel 2 installed on the inner top wall of the container shell 1, and a set of U-shaped air ducts 3 installed on the bottom surface of the upper decorative panel 2. The air outlets of the U-shaped air ducts 3 face the inner walls of both sides of the container shell 1. A dustproof mesh cover 4 is provided inside the U-shaped air ducts 3. A lighting lamp 12 is installed on the bottom surface of the upper decorative panel 2. Side decorative panels 5 are installed on both inner walls of the container shell 1, and a hatch 6 is installed on one inner wall of the container shell 1.
[0025] When air conditioning is in operation, the cool or hot air generated by the air conditioner is delivered into the cabin through the U-shaped air duct 3 installed on the bottom surface of the upper decorative panel 2. Since the air outlets of the U-shaped air duct 3 face the inner walls of the cabin shell 1 on both sides, it effectively prevents cool or hot air from blowing directly onto personnel and equipment inside the cabin, resulting in a more uniform distribution of air temperature and humidity. In hot weather, cool air is blown out to both sides through the U-shaped air duct 3, reducing the risk of personnel catching a chill due to direct cold airflow; in cold weather, hot air diffuses to both sides, preventing personnel from feeling hot and dry, while also providing a more stable and suitable temperature and humidity environment for electronic equipment, ensuring normal operation and extending the equipment's lifespan. The U-shaped air duct 3 is equipped with a dustproof mesh cover 4, which effectively blocks dust and other impurities from entering the air duct, reducing dust pollution of the air duct and cabin air, ensuring the cleanliness of the air inside the air duct, and extending the maintenance cycle of the air duct and related equipment.
[0026] A sunshade mechanism 7 is provided on the upper surface of the outer shell 1 of the shelter. The sunshade mechanism 7 includes an inclined shell 701 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer shell 1. A sunshade 702 is slidably connected inside the inclined shell 701. A set of drainage channels 703 is opened inside the sunshade 702. A hook plate 708 is fixedly connected to the left side of the drainage channel 703 to facilitate the removal of the sunshade 702 from the inside of the inclined shell 701. A protective shell 704 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inclined shell 701. A motor 705 is installed on the inner top wall of the protective shell 704. A lead screw 706 is installed at the output end of the motor 705. A square tube 707 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 706. The square tube 707 is slidably connected to the inside of the inclined shell 701. The bottom end of the square tube 707 is inserted into the inside of the sunshade 702 and slidably connected to the inside of the sunshade 702.
[0027] When the sunshade mechanism 7 is needed for sun and rain protection, firstly, the motor 705 installed on the inner top wall of the protective shell 704 is started. The output end of the motor 705 drives the lead screw 706 to rotate. Since a square tube 707 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 706, and the square tube 707 is slidably connected to the inside of the inclined shell 701, as the lead screw 706 rotates, the square tube 707 will move upward along the lead screw 706 until the square tube 707 disengages from the limiting hole inside the inclined shell 701. At this time, pulling the hook plate 708 fixedly connected to the left side of the drainage groove 703 inside the sunshade 702 will pull the sunshade 702 out of the inclined shell 701, thereby unfolding the sunshade 702 and realizing the sun and rain protection function. In rainy weather, the drainage groove 703 can smoothly drain rainwater, preventing rainwater from accumulating on the sunshade 702. When the sunshade 702 is not needed, reverse the above steps to retract the sunshade 702 into the inclined housing 701 and fix it by re-inserting the square tube 707 into the limiting hole inside the inclined housing 701.
[0028] An extension mechanism 8 is provided on the side of the container shell 1. The extension mechanism 8 includes a connecting plate 801 fixedly connected to the side of the container shell 1 and two locking pins 803 installed on the side of the container shell 1. An extension plate 802 is hinged to the connecting plate 801. A handle 804 is fixedly connected to the side of the extension plate 802. The bottom ends of the two locking pins 803 are inserted into the interior of the extension plate 802 and are slidably connected to the interior of the extension plate 802.
[0029] When space expansion of the container cabin is required, press the two locking pins 803 installed on the side of the container cabin shell 1 to pull the bottom ends of the locking pins 803 out of the interior of the expansion plate 802, thus releasing the locking state of the expansion plate 802. Then, grasp the handle 804 fixedly connected to the side of the expansion plate 802 and rotate the expansion plate 802 around the hinge point until the expansion plate 802 is rotated to a 90-degree angle with the container cabin shell 1, completing the expansion operation and providing an additional platform or operating table for extravehicular activities. When the expansion plate 802 is no longer needed, rotate the expansion plate 802 back to its initial position and then insert the bottom ends of the two locking pins 803 into the interior of the expansion plate 802 to secure it.
[0030] An installation plate 10 is provided on the upper surface of the container shell 1. The installation plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inclined shell 701. A solar photovoltaic panel 11 is installed on the upper surface of the installation plate 10. A battery pack 9 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the container shell 1.
[0031] When there is sunlight, the solar photovoltaic panels 11 convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery pack 9 installed on the bottom wall of the outer shell 1 of the container. The battery pack 9 provides power to the motors 705, lighting 12 and other electrical equipment inside the container, realizing a green and sustainable energy supply and improving the independence and adaptability of the container in complex environments.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
