Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, and in particular to a novel corner post end locking mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Container corner posts are an important component of container structure, located at the four corners of the container.
[0003] Corner posts are a key part of the container frame structure. Together with the top and bottom frames, side walls, and end walls, they form a robust rectangular frame that provides structural support for the entire container. Corner posts typically have connecting holes or slots for securing corner locks to the container. These corner locks are important components for container stacking and securing, allowing one container to be safely stacked on top of another using locks. When containers are stacked, the bottom corner posts need to bear the weight of the upper containers, so they must have sufficient strength and stability. Corner posts also protect containers from damage during transport and stacking, especially in the event of collisions or compression.
[0004] However, traditional bolt tightening methods usually require operators to manually use tools such as wrenches or screwdrivers to tighten each bolt connecting the corner post body to the container. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also labor-intensive and inefficient due to the need for repeated operations. Secondly, during the manual bolt tightening process, operators may need to support both the bolt and the tool to ensure that the bolt is correctly inserted into the screw hole and tightened smoothly. This operation method not only increases the complexity of the operation, but also affects the speed and accuracy of installation to some extent. In view of this, a new corner post end locking mechanism is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a novel corner post end locking mechanism.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the inner side of the insert housing contacts the surface of the corner post body, the middle right side of the insert housing is rotatably connected to the outer side of the limiting block, and the right end face of the transmission wheel contacts the inner side of the insert housing, which allows the motor to synchronously drive the cutting head inside the insert housing to rotate in the same direction, and can quickly tighten the bolts connecting the corner post body and the container in one go, which improves the efficiency of installing the corner post body at the four corners of the container to a certain extent, while reducing the labor intensity required for operators to install the corner post body.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the outer end face of the corner column body is provided with a slot, and the longitudinal cross-sectional shape and position of the slot are matched with the longitudinal cross-sectional shape and position of the positioning plate, so that the positioning plate can be inserted into the slot on the outer end face of the corner column body, allowing the positioning plate to slide in the slot and limit the insertion shell.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: there are four sets of corner post bodies, and the corner post bodies are distributed at the four corners of the container. The container and the corner post bodies are connected by bolts, and the shape of the bolt head groove at the top of the outer side of the bolt corresponds to the shape of the cutting head. The bolts connecting the corner post body and the container can be tightened quickly in one go, which improves the efficiency of installing the corner post bodies at the four corners of the container to a certain extent.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: there are three transmission wheels and three limiting blocks, and the transmission wheels and limiting blocks are located at the upper, middle and lower positions inside the insert housing. There are two sets of belts, and the belts are respectively set outside the transmission wheels from the upper to the middle and from the middle to the lower inside the insert housing. This allows the motor in the middle of the insert housing to drive the three sets of transmission wheels to rotate synchronously, so as to screw the three bolts into the corner post body at one time, thereby improving the efficiency of installing the corner post body.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the longitudinal section of the limiting block is convex, and the inner right side of the insert housing has upper, middle and lower through holes, and the diameter of the through holes is matched with the diameter of the longitudinal section of the left top of the limiting block, which can prevent the transmission wheel from shifting during rotation and improve the stability of the transmission wheel rotation to a certain extent.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the width of the magnetic ring matches the width of the sleeve, and the wall thickness of the magnetic ring is half the wall thickness of the sleeve. The bolts connecting the corner post body and the container can be pre-aligned with the cutting head. The magnetic ring can magnetically hold the bolt head, which can effectively avoid the need for manual support when installing the bolts.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This utility model features a novel corner post end locking mechanism. Through the design and coordination of the transmission wheel and belt, the device allows the motor to synchronously drive the cutter head inside the insert housing to rotate in the same direction. This enables the bolts connecting the corner post body to the container to be tightened quickly in one go, improving the efficiency of installing the corner post body at the four corners of the container to a certain extent. At the same time, it reduces the labor intensity required for operators to install the corner post body. In addition, a collar and a magnetic ring are set on the outside of the cutter head, which can pre-align the bolts connecting the corner post body to the container with the cutter head. The magnetic ring can magnetically hold the bolt head, effectively avoiding the need for manual support when installing the bolts. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a novel corner post end locking mechanism, including a container 1, with corner post bodies 2 covering the four corners of the container 1. Positioning plates 3 are inserted into the outer sides of the corner post bodies 2. Ball bearings 13 are provided on the rear end face of the positioning plates 3. A housing 4 is welded to the right end face of the positioning plates 3, and a fixing ring 5 is welded to the middle of the right end face of the housing 4. A motor 6 is inserted into and fixed to the inner side of the fixing ring 5. A limiting block 7 is welded to the output shaft of the motor 6. A transmission wheel 8 is welded to the left end face of the limiting block 7. A belt 9 is provided on the outer side of the transmission wheel 8, and a cutter head 11 is welded to the middle of the left end face of the transmission wheel 8. A collar 10 is welded to the outer side of the end face, and a magnetic ring 12 is set on the inner side of the collar 10. The inner side of the insert shell 4 contacts the surface of the corner post body 2. The middle right side of the insert shell 4 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the limiting block 7. The right end face of the transmission wheel 8 contacts the inner side of the insert shell 4, which allows the motor 6 to synchronously drive the cutter head 11 inside the insert shell 4 to rotate in the same direction. This allows the bolts connecting the corner post body 2 and the container 1 to be tightened quickly in one go, which improves the efficiency of installing the corner post body 2 at the four corners of the container 1 to a certain extent, while reducing the labor intensity required for operators to install the corner post body 2.
[0022] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: a slot is provided on the outer end face of the corner column body 2, and the longitudinal cross-sectional shape and position of the slot are matched with the longitudinal cross-sectional shape and position of the positioning plate 3, so that the positioning plate 3 can be inserted into the slot on the outer end face of the corner column body 2, allowing the positioning plate 3 to slide in the slot and limit the insertion shell 4.
[0023] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the number of corner post bodies 2 is four sets, and the corner post bodies 2 are distributed at the four corners of the container 1. The container 1 and the corner post bodies 2 are connected by bolts, and the shape of the bolt head groove at the top of the outer side of the bolt corresponds to the shape of the cutter head 11. The bolts connecting the corner post bodies 2 and the container 1 can be tightened quickly in one go, which improves the efficiency of installing the corner post bodies 2 at the four corners of the container 1 to a certain extent.
[0024] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: there are three transmission wheels 8 and three limiting blocks 7, and the transmission wheels 8 and the limiting blocks 7 are located at the upper, middle and lower positions inside the insert shell 4. There are two sets of belts 9, and the belts 9 are respectively set outside the transmission wheels 8 from the upper to the middle and from the middle to the lower inside the insert shell 4. This allows the motor 6 in the middle of the insert shell 4 to drive the three sets of transmission wheels 8 to rotate synchronously, so as to screw the three bolts into the corner post body 2 at one time, thereby improving the efficiency of installing the corner post body 2.
[0025] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the longitudinal section of the limiting block 7 is convex, and the inner right side of the insert 4 has upper, middle and lower through holes, and the diameter of the through holes is matched with the diameter of the longitudinal section of the left top of the limiting block 7, so that the transmission wheel 8 cannot be displaced during rotation, thereby improving the stability of the rotation of the transmission wheel 8 to a certain extent.
[0026] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the width of the magnetic ring 12 matches the width of the collar 10, and the wall thickness of the magnetic ring 12 is half the wall thickness of the sleeve. The bolts connecting the corner post body 2 and the container 1 can be pre-aligned with the cutter head 11. The magnetic ring 12 can magnetically hold the bolt head, which can effectively avoid the need for manual support when installing the bolts.
[0027] Working principle:
[0028] When using this utility model, the corner post body 2 is placed on the four corners of the container 1. Then, the bolt heads of the three bolts are inserted into the inner side of the collar 10 inside the insert shell 4, so that the groove of the bolt head is aligned with the cutter head 11. The magnetic ring 12 inside the collar 10 magnetically attracts the outer side of the bolt head, making it difficult for the bolt head to fall off from the inner side of the collar 10. Then, the insert shell 4 is placed on the outer side of the corner post body 2. The positioning plate 3 on the left end face of the insert shell 4 is inserted into the slot on the outer side of the corner post body 2. At this time, the bolt inside the collar 10 is also aligned with the corner post body 2. The motor 6 is turned on, and the motor 6 drives the limiting block 7 at the output end to rotate. The transmission wheel 8 on the left end face of the limiting block 7 drives the transmission wheels 8 on the upper and lower sides inside the insert shell 4 to rotate synchronously through the belt 9. The cutter head 11 on the left end face of the transmission wheel 8 drives the bolt to rotate. The bolt is tightened to connect and fix the corner post body 2 to the container 1.
