Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective frame technology, and in particular to an IBC (Iron Chamber) protective frame. Background Technology
[0002] IBC (Medium Bulk Container) is a type of modular packaging container widely used in industries such as chemical, food, and pharmaceutical. It is used for storing and transporting liquids or bulk materials. Since its inner liner often contains flammable, explosive, volatile, and corrosive media, it is usually protected by a steel IBC protective frame. The existing IBC protective frame uses a thin, solid plate as the bottom pallet, with a support beam on the bottom surface that contacts the ground. This allows the plate and the support beam to work together to support the container. However, the support beam can easily obstruct the forklift forks from inserting into the ground clearance of the frame's bottom surface for loading and unloading. Therefore, a new protective frame structure needs to be designed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an IBC ton container protection frame with a base frame having multiple reinforcing ribs and multiple openings. The base frame has feet at the top corners of its bottom surface and gaps between the base frame and the ground, thereby increasing the support strength of the base frame itself. There is no need to set up additional support beams under the base frame, so that the forks of motorized forklifts and manual forklifts can be inserted into the gaps between the base frame and the ground from multiple directions for loading, unloading and handling.
[0004] An IBC (Iron Chamber) protective frame includes a base frame, multiple side frames, and multiple uprights. The base frame is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs and forms multiple openings. The bottom corner of the base frame is provided with a support leg, leaving a gap between the base frame and the ground. Adjacent side frames are connected by the uprights, and the uprights are connected to the top corner of the base frame.
[0005] Preferably, the column has an arc-shaped plate-like structure in cross-section, and the arc surface on the inner side of the column is connected to the side wall at the top corner of the base frame.
[0006] Preferably, the upper part of the column is provided with a through hole.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes a limiting frame, and the top of the column is provided with an arc-shaped corner guard plate. The limiting frame and the arc-shaped corner guard plates of the multiple columns are all provided with mounting holes, and the mounting holes of the limiting frame and the mounting holes of the arc-shaped corner guard plates are detachably connected by screws corresponding to each other.
[0008] Preferably, the height of the arc-shaped corner guard is greater than the height of the limiting frame, and a gap is left between the support leg and the edge of the bottom surface of the base frame to accommodate the arc-shaped corner guard.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the IBC ton container protective frame is formed by the cooperation of the base frame, side frame and column, so that the base frame is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs and forms multiple openings, and the top corner of the bottom surface of the base frame is provided with a support foot and the base frame is left with a gap between the base frame and the ground, thereby increasing the support strength of the base frame itself. There is no need to set an additional support beam under the base frame, so that the forks of motorized forklifts and manual forklifts can be inserted into the gap between the base frame and the ground from multiple directions for loading and unloading.

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so as to provide a clearer understanding of the technical concept claimed by the present invention.
[0015] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an IBC (Iron Chamber) container protection frame includes a base frame 1, multiple side frames 2, and multiple uprights 3. The base frame 1 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 4 and forms multiple openings. The bottom corner of the base frame 1 is provided with a support leg 11, leaving a gap between the base frame 1 and the ground. Two adjacent side frames 2 are connected by the uprights 3, and the uprights 3 are connected to the top corner of the base frame 1.
[0016] The working principle of the IBC ton container protective frame described in this utility model is achieved through the cooperation of the base frame 1, side frame 2, and upright column 3. Figures 1 to 3As shown, the base frame 1 can adopt a square tube frame structure. The side frames 2 and columns 3 are illustrated with four examples. The base frame 1 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 4 and forms multiple openings. The bottom corner of the base frame 1 is provided with a support leg 11, leaving a gap between the base frame 1 and the ground, thereby increasing the support strength of the base frame 1 itself. There is no need to set an additional support beam under the base frame 1. A gap is left between adjacent support legs 11. The fork of the fork can be inserted into the space under the base frame 1 through the gap between the support legs 11 and lift the entire frame. Compared with the traditional protective frame, this IBC ton container protective frame makes it easier for the forks of motorized forklifts and manual forklifts to be inserted into the gap between the base frame 1 and the ground from multiple directions for loading, unloading and handling.
[0017] Specifically, the column 3 has an arc-shaped plate-like cross-section, and the inner arc surface of the column 3 is connected to the side wall at the top corner of the base frame 1. The upper part of the column 3 is provided with a through hole 5. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the side frame 2 can adopt a rectangular tube frame structure. The column 3 is connected to the side frame 2 to improve the impact deformation resistance and improve the overall aesthetics. The through hole 5 on the column 3 facilitates the overall frame and the hoisting and movement of the crane. It can be used for different handling methods and is suitable for different application scenarios.
[0018] The IBC ton container protective frame of this utility model also includes a limiting frame 6. An arc-shaped corner guard 7 is provided on the top of each column 3. The limiting frame 6 and the arc-shaped corner guards 7 of the multiple columns 3 are all provided with mounting holes 8. The mounting holes 8 of the limiting frame 6 and the mounting holes 8 of the arc-shaped corner guards 7 are detachably connected one-to-one by screws. Furthermore, the height of the arc-shaped corner guard 7 is greater than the height of the limiting frame 6. A gap is left between the support leg 11 and the edge of the bottom surface of the base frame 1 to accommodate the arc-shaped corner guard 7. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the limiting frame 6 can limit the barrel (not shown in the figure) loaded on the frame, and the limiting frame 6 and the arc-shaped corner plate 7 are detachably connected to facilitate the removal of the barrel. The support leg 11 and the edge of the bottom surface of the base frame 1 are spaced to allow the arc-shaped corner plate 7 to move, and the support leg 11 and the arc-shaped corner plate 7 abut against each other to limit the movement, so that multiple frames can be stacked up and down in the vertical direction to reduce the space occupied.
[0019] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
