Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics equipment technology, and in particular to a container that can be adapted to top-opening or rear-entry loading and unloading. Background Technology

[0002] A shipping container is a box-shaped storage room or work container made of various sturdy materials. It has high mobility and its internal structure is designed according to different needs.

[0003] In traditional transportation and storage needs, ordinary containers are inconvenient and inefficient for loading and unloading goods or equipment. This is especially true for loading and unloading large, precision equipment, which requires top-down access, severely limiting the capabilities of traditional containers. Currently, top-opening containers typically open upwards and to the sides, with the top hinged to the cabin. When opened, the top flips to one side to expose the interior. This opening method requires significant space, as the top needs room to flip open, and given the length and size of the top, the required space is substantial. Furthermore, the mechanism for flipping the top also occupies considerable internal space. Under these space constraints, current container structures struggle to fully meet practical needs, resulting in certain application limitations. Utility Model Content

[0004] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, each top cover of the top cover assembly is rotatably connected to each other and partially slidably connected to the side panels. Driven by power devices such as hydraulic cylinders, the top cover assembly can be opened by sliding, allowing goods to be loaded from the top of the container. Simultaneously, the front and rear doors can also be opened. For large or oversized cargo, cranes and other equipment can be used to lift the cargo from the top and load it into the container. The large opening design of the top-opening cover reduces obstruction during cargo lifting and improves loading and unloading safety. For rear loading and unloading, forklifts, conveyors, and other equipment can directly deliver goods into the container from the rear door. For goods requiring continuous transport and handling, such as bagged or boxed bulk goods, the rear-entry loading and unloading method can greatly improve loading and unloading efficiency. Furthermore, top and rear loading and unloading can be flexibly selected simultaneously according to actual conditions, further improving operational efficiency. The trolley, guided by a guiding mechanism, can be pulled out from the container body. After stacking and securing the goods on the trolley, the trolley is sent into the container body, improving loading efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes a guiding frame, which is fixedly connected to the base frame, and the trolley is embedded in the guiding frame. This utility model utilizes a gate-shaped guiding frame to guide the sliding of the trolley while limiting the travel of the trolley.

[0037] The container itself is equipped with a securing mechanism for securing cargo, which can be used to further secure the cargo.

[0038] The fixing mechanism includes a mounting frame 10 and a clamping member 11. The two sides of the mounting frame 10 are connected to two side plates 5. The clamping member 11 is threadedly connected to the mounting frame 10. The extension length of the clamping member 11 can be adjusted by the threaded connection between the clamping member 11 and the mounting frame 10, thereby clamping the goods.

[0039] The clamping member 11 is provided with a handwheel 12, which facilitates the rotation of the clamping member 11.

[0040] Several clamping elements 11 are provided, and multiple contact points can be formed by using several clamping elements 11, thereby strengthening the firmness.

[0041] A straight rod 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 10. The straight rod 13 is perpendicular to the mounting frame 10. A clamping member 11 is threadedly connected to the side of the straight rod 13. This structure can fix the side of the goods.
