Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model generally relates to the technical field of container tooling structures, and more specifically to a container tooling. Background Technology

[0002] The standard assembly table for conventional containers is fixed and consists of a top positioning and fixing seat, a top guardrail, a platform deck, a tooling platform frame, a platform support, a bottom fixing seat, a bottom base, and pre-embedded base fixtures in the ground. This type of tooling has a fixed width, and the tooling relies entirely on adjusting the position of the top and bottom bases to ensure the production dimensions of the container. Most of these toolings can only produce standard-sized containers (around 2438mm), and it is difficult to adjust the tooling for producing non-standard-width containers.

[0003] Due to the diversity of market demand, non-standard container types are becoming increasingly common. Affected by their width, height, and length, the two sides of the conventional container assembly platform are usually pre-embedded or fixed with expansion bolts. The width of the container to be assembled can be adjusted by moving the two sides of the platform. When producing containers of different sizes, the tooling adjustment is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires a lot of raw materials. Even if only the simplest ladder is used for production, there are still great safety hazards in the production process.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a container tooling to at least partially solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model description section introduces a series of simplified concepts, which will be further explained in detail in the detailed description section. This utility model description section is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

[0016] Optionally, the rack assembly includes a base and a first rack disposed on the top surface of the base; and

[0017] The drive end of the drive motor has a gear, which is adapted to mesh with the first rack. When the gear rotates, it drives the drive motor and the mounting base to reciprocate synchronously along the extension direction of the first rack.

[0024] Optionally, the outer frame component includes:

[0025] An outer frame, which is fitted over the outer side of the inner frame, and the top of the outer frame is adapted to support the top mounting platform;

[0026] The first telescopic rod is connected to the top of the outer frame. The first telescopic rod extends and retracts vertically, causing the outer frame to reciprocate vertically toward or away from the inner frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0049] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with embodiments of the present invention.

[0050] To fully understand the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model provides a container tooling, which includes a top mounting platform 10, a width adjustment device 20, a height adjustment device 30, and a drive assembly 40.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, according to the container tooling of this utility model, at least two pairs of width adjustment devices 20 are arranged opposite to each other. The width adjustment devices 20 are arranged at intervals along the length direction DL1 of the container, and the oppositely arranged width adjustment devices 20 are adapted to move closer or further away along the width direction DW of the container.

[0053] At least two pairs of opposing height adjustment devices 30 are provided, the height adjustment devices 30 are spaced apart along the length direction DL1 of the container, and each height adjustment device 30 includes:

[0054] The inner frame component 31 is disposed on the width adjustment device 20.

[0055] The outer frame assembly 32 is fitted onto the outside of the inner frame assembly 31, and the top of the outer frame assembly 32 is connected to the top mounting platform 10.

[0056] The drive assembly 40 is installed on the inner frame assembly 31, and its extended end is connected to the outer frame assembly 32 and adapted to drive the outer frame assembly 32 to move up and down along the height direction DH of the container, thereby driving the top mounting platform 10 to move up and down synchronously. This utility model's container tooling, by adding a width adjustment device 20 and a height adjustment device 30, allows for the assembly of containers of different widths by placing the width adjustment devices 20 opposite each other along the width direction DW of the container. Simultaneously, the height adjustment devices 30 are spaced apart along the length direction DL1 of the container, enabling the assembly of containers of different heights. Specifically, the drive assembly 40 can drive the outer frame assembly 32 to move up and down relative to the inner frame assembly 31 along the height direction DH of the container, thereby driving the top mounting platform 10 to move synchronously. This allows for the assembly of containers of different heights, enabling rapid adjustment and assembly for different container types, saving the time required for advance preparation during final assembly, and eliminating the need for readjustment for different container types, thus reducing rework and material consumption and effectively improving container production efficiency.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the width adjustment device 20 includes a rack assembly 21, a mounting base 22, and a drive motor 23.

[0058] Mounting base 22 is movably mounted on top of rack assembly 21.

[0059] A drive motor 23 is mounted on a mounting base 22. The drive end of the drive motor 23 rotates and is adapted to the rack assembly 21 to drive the mounting base 22 to reciprocate along the extension direction DL of the rack assembly 21. Specifically, when it is necessary to increase the distance between the two opposing width adjustment devices 20, the drive end of the drive motor 23 rotates in a first direction and meshes with the rack assembly 21, thereby driving the entire mounting base 22 to move away from the container along the length direction DL of the rack assembly 21. This achieves the purpose of increasing the distance between the two opposing width adjustment devices 20, so as to meet the assembly of containers with a width greater than the standard container width of 2438 mm.

[0060] Conversely, when it is necessary to reduce the distance between the two width adjustment devices 20 that are arranged opposite each other, the drive end of the drive motor 23 rotates in the second direction and meshes with the rack assembly 21, thereby driving the entire mounting base 22 to move along the length direction DL of the rack assembly 21 towards the container, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the distance between the two width adjustment devices 20 that are arranged opposite each other, so as to meet the assembly of containers with a width less than the standard container width of 2438 mm.

[0061] It should be noted that "according to the first direction" and "according to the second direction" means rotating in the forward direction and rotating in the reverse direction. There is no restriction on the specific direction, as long as the first direction and the second direction are opposite directions.

[0062] It should also be noted that the container tooling of this utility model is applicable to widths ranging from 2100 mm to 5000 mm.

[0063] like Figure 6 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the rack assembly 21 includes a base 21a and a first rack 21b disposed on the top surface of the base 21a.

[0064] The drive end of the drive motor 23 has a gear (not shown in the figure), which is adapted to mesh with the first rack 21b. The rotation of the gear drives the drive motor 23 and the mounting base 22 to reciprocate synchronously along the extension direction of the first rack 21b. Specifically, by rotating the gear at the drive end of the drive motor 23 and engaging with the first rack 21b, the mounting base 22 is driven to reciprocate synchronously along the extension direction of the first rack 21b. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the two opposing width adjustment devices 20, enabling rapid assembly of containers of different widths. Furthermore, the drive motor 23 saves time and effort, effectively improving the adjustment efficiency of the width adjustment device 20.

[0065] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the inner frame assembly 31 includes an inner frame 31a, a first mounting plate 31b, and the aforementioned drive assembly 40.

[0066] The inner frame 31a is located on the top surface of the mounting base 22. The inner frame 31a is a rectangular frame structure.

[0067] The first mounting plate 31b is horizontally positioned within the inner frame 31a. The first mounting plate 31b can be welded to the inner frame 31a.

[0068] The drive assembly 40 is a first hydraulic cylinder 41, which includes a first hydraulic cylinder body 41a and a first telescopic rod 41b.

[0069] The cylinder body 41a of the first hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the first mounting plate 31b.

[0070] The first telescopic rod 41b is housed within the first hydraulic cylinder body 41a and can extend and retract vertically relative to the first hydraulic cylinder body 41a. When the height adjustment device 30 needs to raise the container along the height direction DH, the first telescopic rod 41b extends vertically relative to the first hydraulic cylinder body 41a, causing the top mounting platform 10 to move upwards to accommodate the assembly of containers taller than standard containers.

[0071] Conversely, when the height adjustment device 30 needs to be lowered along the height direction DH of the container, the first telescopic rod 41b retracts vertically relative to the first hydraulic cylinder body 41a, driving the top mounting platform 10 to move downwards to accommodate the assembly of containers that are smaller than the standard container height.

[0072] It should be noted that the container tooling of this utility model is suitable for assembling containers with a height range of 2100 mm to 4500 mm.

[0073] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the outer frame assembly 32 includes an outer frame 32a, which is sleeved on the outside of the inner frame 31a, and the top of the outer frame 32a is adapted to support the top mounting platform 10.

[0074] The first telescopic rod 41b is connected to the top of the outer frame 32a. The first telescopic rod 41b extends and retracts vertically, causing the outer frame 32a to reciprocate vertically towards or away from the inner frame 31a. By moving the first telescopic rod 41b upward along the height direction DH of the container, the outer frame 32a moves upward relative to the inner frame 31a, thus accommodating the assembly of containers of different heights.

[0075] Conversely, when the first telescopic rod 41b moves downward along the height direction DH of the container, it causes the outer frame 32a to move downward relative to the inner frame 31a, so as to adapt to the assembly of containers of different heights.

[0076] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the smooth movement of the outer frame 32a relative to the inner frame 31a, the top end of the first telescopic rod 41b can be welded to the inner surface of the top end of the outer frame 32a, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the telescopic rod 41b and the outer frame 32a.

[0077] It should be noted that the outer frame 32a can be a rectangular frame structure.

[0078] like Figures 7 to 9As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the inner frame assembly 31 further includes a second mounting plate 31c, a second hydraulic cylinder 33, and a second rack 34.

[0079] The second mounting plate 31c is horizontally disposed within the inner frame 31a. The second mounting plate 31c is horizontally welded into the inner frame 31a, and the second mounting plate 31c is arranged vertically parallel to the first mounting plate 31b.

[0080] The second hydraulic cylinder 33 includes a second hydraulic cylinder body 33a disposed on the second mounting plate 31c and a second telescopic rod 33b disposed within the second hydraulic cylinder body 33a and capable of extending and retracting relative to the second hydraulic cylinder body 33a.

[0081] The second rack 34 is disposed on the inner side of the outer frame 32a. When the outer frame 32a moves to a suitable position, the second telescopic rod 33b extends relative to the second hydraulic cylinder 33 and is adapted to engage between two adjacent teeth in the second rack 34. When the outer frame 32a is adjusted to a suitable position relative to the inner frame 31a, in order to lock the outer frame 32a in the current position, the second telescopic rod 33b in the second hydraulic cylinder 33 extends relative to the cylinder body 33a of the second hydraulic cylinder, so that the second telescopic rod 33b engages between two adjacent teeth in the second rack 34, thereby locking the outer frame 32a and further achieving longitudinal positioning of the top mounting platform 10.

[0082] Conversely, when the outer frame 32a needs to be unlocked in its current position, that is, when the outer frame 32a needs to move downward relative to the inner frame 31a, the second telescopic rod 33b in the second hydraulic cylinder 33 retracts relative to the cylinder body 33a, thereby removing the limit on the second telescopic rod 33b that is engaged between two adjacent teeth, thus unlocking the outer frame 32a, and further, unlocking the top mounting platform 10 in the longitudinal direction.

[0083] like Figure 9 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the inner frame assembly 31 further includes a connector 35, which is disposed around the bottom end of the inner frame 31a and is adapted to be welded to the mounting base 22. This allows for the fixed installation of the inner frame assembly 31 on the mounting base 22, meaning that the container tooling of this utility model can have both width adjustment and longitudinal position adjustment capabilities.

[0084] It should also be noted that the width adjustment device 20 is driven by the drive motor 23, and the height adjustment device is driven by the drive assembly 40, both of which save manpower and have the advantages of saving time and effort.

[0085] like Figure 6As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the container tooling further includes a bottom base support beam 50, which is disposed at the top of the mounting base 22 and is suitable for supporting the container. The bottom base support beam 50 can be welded to the top of the mounting base 22.

[0086] like Figure 1 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the container tooling further includes at least two hinges 60, which are spaced apart along the length direction DL1 of the container. One end of each hinge 60 is connected to the top mounting platform 10, and the other end is connected to the top mounting platform 10 located on the opposite side. After the container is assembled, the hinges 60 can be added to prevent the top mounting platform 10 from tilting outward, thus ensuring the safety of the operators.

[0087] It should be noted that the top mounting platform 10 is suitable for personnel to work on when assembling containers, so it is necessary to ensure the stability of the top mounting platform 10 and prevent it from tilting.

[0088] In summary, the container tooling of this utility model, by adding a width adjustment device 20 and a height adjustment device 30, allows for the assembly of containers of different widths by setting the width adjustment devices 20 opposite each other along the width direction DW of the container. Simultaneously, the height adjustment devices 30 are spaced apart along the length direction DL1 of the container, enabling the assembly of containers of different heights. Specifically, the drive assembly 40 of this utility model can drive the outer frame assembly 32 to move up and down relative to the inner frame assembly 31 along the height direction DH of the container, thereby causing the top mounting platform 10 to move synchronously. This allows for the assembly of containers of different heights, enabling rapid adjustment and assembly for different container types, saving the time required for advance preparation during final assembly, and eliminating the need for readjustment and material consumption for different container types, effectively improving container production efficiency.
