Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of shipbuilding and marine engineering technology, specifically to a method for lashing containers on ships or platforms or on land. Background Technology

[0002] Container lashing bridges are important structures on ships or in container yards used to secure and lash containers. They are usually located on the sides or top of container stacks and are used to firmly fix containers in a designated position using lashing tools such as lashing rods.

[0003] Common lashing bridges are generally used on large container ships, and less so on feeder container ships. Feeder container ships usually refer to small and medium-sized vessels that transport containers between major and smaller ports. These vessels frequently berth and load and unload, and their requirements for stacking and lashing performance are different from those of large container lashing systems. Their requirements for the structural construction cost, mechanical strength and stability, and loading and unloading efficiency of the stacking and lashing system are also different from those of large ships. The characteristics of common large container lashing bridges determine the problem of low universality.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN113928483A discloses a lightweight lashing bridge structure for container ships, comprising horizontal platforms, columns, lashing components, transverse bulkheads between platforms, combined support components, and railings. It replaces the traditional large-area shear wall structure with connecting elbow plates and combined diagonal braces, thereby reducing the weight of the lashing bridge structure and lowering construction costs.

[0005] This type of lashed bridge structure design reduces construction costs by reducing the structural weight of the lashed bridge, but it does not simplify the lashing design, nor does it consider the efficiency of workers' operations and the time cost of loading and unloading. It is still designed for the needs of lashing large containers.

[0006] Therefore, improving the universality of lashing systems is a technical problem that needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

The system has a simple structure, low construction cost, high structural mechanical strength and stability, and effectively solves the problem of workers safely and efficiently completing container loading and unloading operations.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a simple container lashing system, comprising a multi-layer lashing platform, columns, diagonal braces, a straight ladder, and handles; the multi-layer lashing platform is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the container stack along its length, and the symmetrically arranged multi-layer lashing platform can lash the container stack using lashing components; a straight ladder is provided at one end of the multi-layer lashing platform, and the straight ladder connects each layer of the multi-layer lashing platform; the diagonal brace is connected to the corresponding column, providing support to the column.

[0009] Furthermore, the lashing platform has a lateral length corresponding to the total width of the stack of containers to be lashed.

[0010] Furthermore, the lashing platform is divided into several lashing platform sections along its horizontal length, with the division ratio corresponding to the width of a single container.

[0011] Furthermore, each section of the binding platform is equipped with binding eyeboards and railings.

[0012] Furthermore, reinforcing elbows are provided on all vertical surfaces in contact between each section of the tying platform and the adjacent column to enhance the support strength of the column for the tying platform.

[0013] Furthermore, the height of the diagonal brace is not higher than the height of the second-layer binding platform.

[0025] To address the issue of insufficient applicability of existing lashing systems, this utility model provides a simple lashing system for stacking containers, which effectively improves the applicability of lashing systems. Moreover, the system has a simple structure, low construction cost, high structural mechanical strength and stability, and effectively solves the problem of workers safely and efficiently completing the stacking and unloading operations.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a simple container lashing system for lashing container stacks, which includes a lashing platform 1, uprights 2, diagonal braces 3, straight ladders 4, and handles 5.

[0028] The lashing platform 1 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the container stack along its length. The symmetrically arranged lashing platform 1 uses lashing components to lash the container stack.

[0029] Both the lashing platform 1 and the container stack are fixed on a horizontal surface. This horizontal surface is the designated platform surface on which the container stack needs to be fixed and lashed. It can be the deck of a ship at sea or a horizontal ground on land.

[0030] The lateral length of the lashing platform 1 corresponds to the total width of the container stack to be lashed. It is divided into several lashing platform sections by vertically set columns 2. The division ratio corresponds to the width of a single container. Each lashing platform section is provided with lashing eye plates 11 and railings 12 between adjacent columns 2. All vertical surfaces of each lashing platform section that contact the adjacent column are provided with reinforcing elbow plates 13 to strengthen the support strength of the column for the lashing platform.

[0031] The lashing platform 1 is divided into several continuous platforms. Preferably, this embodiment uses a two-layer lashing platform as an example. The lashing platform is divided into a first-layer lashing platform 101 and a second-layer lashing platform 102. The height interval between the two lashing platforms corresponds proportionally to the height of a single container. The ratio is preferably set to 1:1 or 1:2. In a specific implementation, the height interval between the two lashing platforms can be used to lash one or two containers.

[0032] A straight ladder 4 is provided at one end of the horizontal direction of the two-layer binding platform. The height of the ladder is the same as the height of the interval between the two-layer binding platforms. The ladder can be used to reach the second-layer binding platform 102 from the first-layer binding platform 101. A handle 5 is provided at the end of the horizontal straight ladder of the second-layer binding platform. The ladder 5 can be moved.

[0033] In this way, when workers are working, they can climb from the first-level lashing platform 101 at one end of the lashing platform 102 to the platform of the second-level lashing platform 102 via the straight ladder 4. They can also enter the platform of the first-level lashing platform 101 at the other end of the lashing platform to work. This design allows maintenance and loading / unloading operations to be carried out simultaneously from both ends of the lashing platform, thereby improving maintenance and loading / unloading efficiency, shortening port dwell time, and optimizing logistics efficiency.

[0034] The finished container of the lashing platform 1 is provided with diagonal braces 3 on the opposite side. The diagonal braces 3 are correspondingly set at the position of the column 2. The upper end of the diagonal brace 3 is fixedly connected to the column 2, and the lower end is fixed to the horizontal plane. The diagonal brace, the column and the horizontal plane form a triangular support. The triangular support surface is perpendicular to both the horizontal and vertical planes of the lashing platform 1. The triangular support formed by the diagonal brace and the column strengthens the overall mechanical strength and stability of the lashing system.

[0035] Preferably, the height of the diagonal brace should not exceed that of the second-layer binding platform.

[0036] The symmetrically arranged lashing platform 1 secures the stacked containers using lashing fittings. During lashing, the lashing eye plates 11 on the lashing platform are attached to one end of the lashing rod via turnbuckles. The other end of the lashing rod is connected to the corner fastener of the upper finished container. The lashing rods are arranged in a crisscrossing manner to balance the force. The turnbuckles tighten the lashing rods to ensure uniform tension. The lashing platform connects to the stacked containers through the lashing eye plates 11 and lashing fittings. This connection disperses the external forces from all directions that the stacked containers experience during transportation, reducing friction and collisions, lowering the risk of damage to the products stored inside the containers, and strengthening the stability of the lashing system.

[0037] The surface of the binding platform 1 is coated with an anti-slip layer, and railings 12 are installed between adjacent columns 2 of each binding platform section. The arrangement of the anti-slip layer and railings here allows maintenance workers to complete binding or unlocking operations safely and quickly, thereby ensuring work safety.

[0038] The simple lashing system for stacking containers constructed by the above scheme can meet the stacking needs of all ships, offshore platforms or indoor and outdoor test benches on land. Its applicability is improved and it is no longer limited to the traditional large ship container stacking needs. The structure of this scheme is simple and the construction cost is low while ensuring the overall mechanical strength and stability of the lashing system.

[0039] Secondly, this solution allows for simultaneous loading, unloading, and maintenance operations at both ends of the simple lashing platform. Furthermore, the structural design of the lashing platform, including its anti-slip layer, kickboard, and handrails, ensures worker safety while improving loading and unloading efficiency, shortening port dwell time, and optimizing logistics efficiency.

[0040] Furthermore, this solution ensures the mechanical strength and stability of the entire lashing system and improves its reliable operation through the symmetrical arrangement of the simple lashing platform structure, the stable lashing of the finished container in the middle of the lashing platform by the lashing components, and the structural design of the diagonal brace on the back of the lashing platform.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
