Detailed Implementation

[0045] 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.

[0046] 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.

[0047] This utility model provides a container with a rotating walkway.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the container with a rotating walkway according to this utility model includes a container body 10, a walkway 20, a support assembly 30, a pulley assembly, a wire rope assembly 50, and a wire rope winding and unwinding reel assembly 60.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the walkway 20 is hinged to one side of the side panel 11 of the container body 10, and the walkway 20 is adapted to be flipped and folded to a vertical position 21 and flipped open to a horizontal position 22.

[0050] The support component 30 is hinged to the outer end 23 of the walkway 20 and is adapted to adjust the distance of the support walkway 20 relative to the ground.

[0051] There are at least two pulley assemblies (not shown in the figure), which are respectively located at the top and bottom of the container body 10.

[0052] The first end 50a of the wire rope assembly 50 is connected to the outer end 23 of the walkway 20, and the second end 50b of the wire rope assembly 50 passes around the pulley assembly in sequence.

[0053] The wire rope winding reel assembly 60 is connected to the second end 50b of the wire rope assembly 50. By tightening and releasing the wire rope assembly 50, the walkway 20 can be switched between a vertical position 21 and a horizontal position 22. This utility model of a container with a rotating walkway adds a pulley assembly, a wire rope assembly 50, and a wire rope winding reel assembly 60. The initial position of the walkway 20 is set on one side of the container body 10, and the walkway 20 is flipped and folded to the vertical position 21, that is, the walkway 20 is parallel to the side panel 11 of the container body 10. When the walkway 20 is in use, the wire rope assembly 50 is released through the wire rope winding reel assembly 60, which allows the walkway 20 to be flipped open from the vertical position 21 to the horizontal position 22, allowing people to stand on the walkway 20 for sightseeing.

[0054] Conversely, when the walkway 20 is not in use or needs to be transported, the walkway 20 can be flipped and folded from the horizontal position 22 to the vertical position 21 by tightening the wire rope assembly 50 using the wire rope reel assembly 60. This utility model of a container with a rotating walkway, through the pulley assembly, wire rope assembly 50, and wire rope reel assembly 60, has the advantages of saving time and effort, being convenient to operate, and having high operational efficiency when flipping and folding or opening the walkway 20.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, the walkway 20 may be flat in shape.

[0056] In another specific embodiment, the walkway 20 may be slab-shaped or spliced ​​together from multiple parallel support columns to form a tread surface for people to step on.

[0057] It should be noted that the number of walkways 20 can be determined according to the length of the container body 10. For example, if the container body 10 is short, one or two walkways 20 can be added. If the container body 10 is long, three, four or even more walkways 20 can be added. Among them, multiple walkways 20 are arranged side by side along the length of the container body 10.

[0058] Each section of the walkway 20 is equipped with a steel wire rope assembly 50 at both ends.

[0059] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the pulley assemblies are a first pulley assembly 41, a second pulley assembly 42, a third pulley assembly 43, and a fourth pulley assembly 44. Adding four pulley assemblies can achieve the purpose of saving time and effort.

[0060] like Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the first pulley assembly 41 is disposed on the lower end face of the top side beam 12 of the container body 10. Specifically, the first pulley assembly 41 can be fixed to the lower end face of the top side beam 12 by welding or bolting.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the second pulley assembly 42 is disposed on the bottom wall 13 of the container body 10, and the second pulley assembly 42 is arranged vertically above the first pulley assembly 41. The second pulley assembly 42 is used for the transmission and direction change of the wire rope assembly 50.

[0062] Preferably, the first pulley assembly 41 and the second pulley assembly 42 are arranged vertically opposite each other.

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the third pulley assembly 43 is disposed at the end of the bottom wall 13 of the container body 10, and the third pulley assembly 43 and the second pulley assembly 42 are located on the same horizontal plane and are arranged at intervals. The function of the third pulley assembly 43 is the same as that of the second pulley assembly 42, and will not be described in detail here for the sake of space.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this invention, the fourth pulley assembly 44 is disposed below the bottom wall 13 of the container body 10 and connected to the bottom side beam 14 of the container body 10. The fourth pulley assembly 44's placement below the bottom wall 13 of the container body 10 effectively saves installation space. Furthermore, this fourth pulley assembly 44 is used to redirect the force direction of the wire rope assembly 50, that is, from the original vertical direction to the width direction of the container body 10.

[0065] It should be noted that the first pulley assembly 41, the second pulley assembly 42, the third pulley assembly 43 and the fourth pulley assembly 44 have the same structure, that is, they all include a pulley support base (not shown in the figure) and a pulley (not shown in the figure) set on the pulley support base. The pulley support base can be fixedly connected to the corresponding connection position mentioned above by welding or bolting.

[0066] like Figure 6As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the wire rope assembly 50 includes a first wire rope 51. The first end of the first wire rope 51 is connected to the outer end 23 of the walkway 20, and the second end of the first wire rope 51 passes sequentially around the first pulley assembly 41 and the second pulley assembly 42. When the walkway 20 gradually changes from a vertical position 21 to a horizontal position 22, the first wire rope 51 is in a state of continuous release; when the walkway 20 gradually changes from a horizontal position 22 to a vertical position 21, the first wire rope 51 is in a state of continuous tightening.

[0067] like Figure 6 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the wire rope assembly 50 further includes a second wire rope 52. The first end of the second wire rope 52 is fixedly connected to the second end of the first wire rope 51. The second end of the second wire rope 52 passes sequentially around the third pulley assembly 43 and the fourth pulley assembly 44 and is connected to the wire rope winding reel assembly 60. In this way, by tightening or releasing the wire rope assembly 50 through the wire rope winding reel assembly 60, the walkway 20 can be flexibly switched between the vertical position 21 and the horizontal position 22.

[0068] In other words, when the walkway 20 is flipped from the vertical position 21 to the horizontal position 22, it will be subjected to an outward pulling force along the width direction of the container body 10; conversely, when the walkway 20 is flipped and folded from the horizontal position 22 to the vertical position 21, it will be subjected to an inward pushing force along the width direction of the container body 10.

[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the wire rope winding reel assembly 60 includes a wire rope winding reel body 61, a rotating shaft 62, and a reel rocker arm 63.

[0070] The wire rope winding reel body 61 is located below the bottom wall 13 of the container body 10, so as not to occupy the internal space of the container body 10 and to facilitate the transportation of goods.

[0071] The rotating shaft 62 is installed inside the wire rope winding reel body 61, and the rotating shaft 62 is connected to the second section of wire rope 52.

[0072] The reel crank 63 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 62, and is adapted to drive the rotating shaft 62 to rotate, thereby winding and unwinding the wire rope assembly 50. Specifically, by rotating the reel crank 63, the rotating shaft 62 can be driven to rotate. Through the rotation of the rotating shaft 62, the second section of wire rope 52 and the first section of wire rope 51 can be wound and unwound, thereby realizing the flipping, folding, and unfolding of the walkway 20. In this way, only one operator needs to stand on the outside of the container body 10 to achieve the flipping, folding, and unfolding of the walkway 20, effectively saving labor and labor costs.

[0073] like Figure 8 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the support assembly 30 includes a support rod 31, a sliding sleeve 32, and a positioning pin (not shown in the figure).

[0074] The support rod 31 has a plurality of first positioning through holes 311 arranged at intervals along the axial direction.

[0075] The sliding sleeve 32 is fitted around the outer periphery of the support rod 31 and connected to the outer end 23 of the walkway 20. The sliding sleeve 32 is adapted to move along the axial direction of the support rod 31. The sliding sleeve 32 has a plurality of second positioning through holes 321 arranged at intervals along the axial direction.

[0076] The locating pin is adapted to pass through one of the first locating through holes 311 and the corresponding second locating through hole 321. In this way, the position of the sliding sleeve 32 in the axial direction of the support rod 31 can be fixed, and further, the horizontal position 22 of the walkway 20 can be adjusted.

[0077] It should be noted that the appropriate position of the sliding sleeve 32 is to ensure that the walkway 20 can be in a horizontal position 22, so as to ensure that the walkway 20 is parallel to the ground and improve the safety of people standing on the walkway 20.

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the side of the container body 10 with the walkway 20 has a recessed receiving area 70 along the width direction of the container body 10. The receiving area 70 is adapted to accommodate the walkway 20 in a vertical position 21. In this way, it can be ensured that the walkway 20 can be fixed on the side panel 11 of the container body 10 after being flipped and folded, and the outer side of the walkway 20 does not exceed the width of the container body 10.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, after the walkway 20 is in the vertical position 21, the outer side of the walkway 20 does not extend beyond the outer sides of the top side beam 12 and the bottom side beam 14 of the container body 10. This ensures the overall aesthetics of the container body 10 and also facilitates transportation.

[0080] like Figure 4As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the container with rotating walkway further includes a hook 80. The hook 80 is disposed on the top surface of the bottom side beam 14 of the container body 10, and is suitable for the first end 50a of the wire rope assembly 50 to be hooked on the hook 80 when the walkway 20 is in the horizontal position 22. Specifically, the wire rope assembly 50 is released by the wire rope reel assembly 60, and the walkway 20 will gradually rotate and open from the vertical position 21 to the horizontal position 22. After the support assembly 30 is in place, the first end 50a of the wire rope assembly 50 disposed at both ends of the walkway 20 is released and the first end 50a of the wire rope assembly 50 is tied to the hook 80, so that people can walk on the walkway 20 without being obstructed, thus improving safety.

[0081] It should be noted that the wire rope winding reel assembly 60 has a locking component (not shown in the figure), which is suitable for locking the rotating shaft 62 after the wire rope assembly 50 has been wound up to a suitable position, so as to prevent it from continuing to rotate. The locking component only needs to be able to lock and stop the rotating shaft 62, and the specific structure of the locking component is not limited.

[0082] It should also be noted that when the walkway 20 is folded and rotated to the vertical position 21, it can be bolted to the side panel 11 of the container body 10 to prevent the walkway 20 from suddenly flipping outwards. Simultaneously, it can be transported along with the container body 10, avoiding additional transportation costs. By utilizing the wire rope reel assembly 60, the wire rope assembly 50, and the pulley assembly to achieve a semi-automated rotatable walkway 20, the use of tools and manual labor is greatly reduced, making it safer and more environmentally friendly.
