Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, specifically to a container and a stacked container structure with shock-absorbing and vibration-damping connection nodes. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modular building technology and the dramatic increase in computing power demand, stacked container structures are increasingly being used in the data center field. Currently, most stacked container connection nodes use rigid connection methods (such as welding, bolt fixing, etc.), which generally ensures the integrity of the structure. However, in areas with high seismic intensity, the seismic performance of stacked container structures faces severe challenges. Connection nodes are prone to stress concentration under seismic action, lack effective energy dissipation mechanisms, and may cause local damage or even complete collapse of the structure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model addresses the needs and shortcomings of current technological development by providing a container and a stackable container structure with shock-absorbing and vibration-damping connection nodes.

[0004] Firstly, this utility model provides a container, and the technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0005] A container has a main structure of a cuboid frame, including corner pieces at the four corners of the container, corner posts in a vertical plane, top beams and bottom beams in a horizontal plane, and connecting boxes. The corner pieces are welded to the connecting boxes on two adjacent sides, and the corner pieces are welded to the top / bottom beams in the horizontal plane through the connecting boxes. The bottom / top surface of the corner pieces and the side surface of the connecting boxes are welded to the ends of the corner posts in the vertical plane.

[0006] Optionally, the connecting box is an E-shaped structure formed by welding four steel plates. The E-shaped structure of the connecting box is located in the horizontal plane, and the opening of the E-shape faces the corner piece and the corner post.

[0008] The E-shaped opening end face of the connecting box is welded to the connecting corner piece, corner post, and the E-shaped top surface of another connecting box adjacent to the corner piece, forming a working space for bolt installation operations.

[0009] Alternatively, the top / bottom beams, E-shaped connecting boxes, corner pieces, and corner posts involved can be welded together to form a stable corner of the container, ultimately constituting an integrally welded cuboid frame.

[0010] Secondly, this utility model provides a stacked container structure with vibration damping and isolation connection nodes, and the technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0011] A stacked container structure with vibration damping and isolation connection nodes includes multiple containers and vibration damping and isolation connection nodes. The multiple containers are divided into at least two groups of containers, which are stacked from bottom to top, and vibration damping and isolation connection nodes are provided between adjacent groups of containers.

[0012] The main structure of the container is a cuboid frame, including corner fittings at the four corners, corner posts in the vertical plane, top and bottom beams in the horizontal plane, and connecting boxes.

Bolts pass through the connecting box end plate of the lower container, the connecting plate below the rubber bearing, the rubber bearing, the connecting plate above the rubber bearing, and the connecting box end plate of the upper container in sequence before being tightened with lock nuts.

[0014] Optionally, two connecting box end plates are provided above or below the connecting plate, and the two connecting box end plates are respectively welded to the E-shaped surfaces of the connecting boxes on the two adjacent sides of the connecting corner pieces.

[0015] After at least two screws pass through the same connecting box end plate, they continue upward through the connecting plate below the rubber support, the rubber support, the connecting plate above the rubber support, and the corresponding welded connecting box end plate of the upper container, and then the locking nut is tightened.

[0016] Optionally, the multiple containers involved are divided into at least two groups of containers, and the at least two groups of containers are stacked from bottom to top.

The bottom / top surface of the corner pieces 1 and the side surface of the connecting boxes 5 are welded to the ends of the corner posts 2 in the vertical plane.

[0034] In order to better illustrate the connection relationship between the structures contained in the container, the connecting box 5 used in this embodiment is an E-shaped structure formed by welding four steel plates. The E-shaped structure of the connecting box 5 is located in the horizontal plane, and the opening of the E-shape faces the corner piece 1 and the corner post 2. The left side of the E-shape of the connecting box 5 is in contact with and welded to the top beam 3 / bottom beam 4. The opening end face of the connecting box 5 is welded to the corner piece 1, the corner post 2, and the top surface of the E-shape of another connecting box 5 on the adjacent side of the corner piece 1, forming a working space for the installation operation of bolts 11.

[0035] To better ensure the stability of the container, the top beam 3 / bottom beam 4, the E-shaped connecting box 5, the corner piece 1, and the corner post 2 are welded together to form a stable corner of the container, ultimately forming an integral welded cuboid frame.

[0036] It should be added that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bold lines in the diagram represent the outline of connecting box 5. Figure 2 The bold lines of different colors represent the outlines of the two connecting boxes 5.

[0037] Example 2:

The upper connecting plate 7 is located between the rubber bearing 6 and the upper connecting box end plate 9, and the lower connecting plate 8 is located between the rubber bearing 6 and the lower connecting box end plate 10.

[0040] Between two adjacent sets of containers, the upper connecting box end plate 9 is welded to the bottom of the E-shaped surface of the connecting box 5 in the upper container, and the lower connecting box end plate 10 is welded to the bottom of the E-shaped surface of the connecting box 5 in the lower container. The bolt 11 passes through the lower connecting box end plate 10, the lower connecting plate 8, the rubber support 6, the upper connecting plate 7 and the upper connecting box end plate 9 in sequence and then tightens the locking nut 12.

[0041] Of course, it can be added that, in order to achieve the stacking connection of the containers, at least two bolts 11 (in this embodiment) are required. Figure 3 The four bolts 11) pass through the same lower connecting box end plate 10 and continue upward through the lower connecting plate 8, rubber support 6, upper connecting plate 7 and upper connecting box end plate 9, and then tighten the locking nut 12.

[0042] Of course, one more point to add is that, for reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 Taking four containers A, B, C, and D as an example, after containers A and B, and containers C and D are stacked and connected by vibration damping and isolation connection nodes, in order to further achieve a robust connection between adjacent containers (containers A and C, containers B and D), in the two vibration damping and isolation connection nodes between adjacent containers (containers A and C, containers B and D), two rubber bearings 6 are integrally connected, and the two connecting plates above the rubber bearings 6 are also integrally connected, as are the two connecting plates below the rubber bearings 6.

[0043] Finally, it is necessary to further explain this embodiment, referring to Figure 4 Two single-sided cones 13 are symmetrically welded to the lower surface of the integrated connecting plate 8 below the rubber bearing 6.

[0044] Two single-sided cones 13 are symmetrically welded to the upper connecting plate 7, which is integrally connected above the rubber support 6. The single-sided cone 13 is a metal casting, designed to solve the positioning problem during subsequent container stacking and installation. The two single-sided cones 13 welded to the upper connecting plate 7 correspond to the bottom surfaces of the corner fittings 1 embedded in the two adjacent left and right containers (containers A and C, containers B and D), and the two single-sided cones 13 welded to the lower connecting plate 8 correspond to the top surfaces of the corner fittings 1 embedded in the two adjacent left and right containers (containers A and C, containers B and D).
