Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of containerized waterproofing technology for integrated containerized cold storage stations for data centers, and in particular to a containerized waterproofing structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the development and popularization of artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing technologies, data centers have become an important infrastructure in the era of big data. In the container leasing of integrated cold storage for data centers, although waterproofing measures are taken, in actual operation, the top waterproofing may still fail due to environmental, operational or material problems, resulting in water vapor condensation caused by temperature differences inside the container, and water dripping from the top causing rust, cracks or holes on the top of the container. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the issue of rainwater and condensation seeping into the top of conventional containerized consolidation containers, causing goods to become damp and corrode, this application provides a waterproof structure for consolidation containers.
[0004] The waterproof structure for containerized consolidation provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A container consolidation waterproof structure includes a T-shaped rubber strip and weather-resistant sealant. Its features include: when consolidating two flat-topped containers on a project site, the T-shaped rubber strip, along with the weather-resistant sealant, first seals and secures the joints between the containers; connecting angle steel is fully welded to the surface of the top beams of both containers; a cover plate waterproof bending member is fitted onto the surface of each of the two connecting angle steels; self-tapping screws are threaded onto the surface of the cover plate waterproof bending member at the positions of the two connecting angle steels; and the self-tapping screws penetrate the cover plate waterproof bending member and are fixed to the connecting angle steels on the top beams of the containers.
[0006] The cover plate waterproof bending component and the connecting angle steel are sealed with weather-resistant adhesive. The top of the self-tapping screw is equipped with a waterproof washer, and the screw head is coated with adhesive to meet the waterproof requirements.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the T-shaped rubber connection forms a seal within the container joint. Then, the waterproof bending piece of the cover plate gathers and covers the two connecting angle steels welded and fixed to the container surface. Subsequently, self-tapping screws are used to pass through the waterproof bending piece of the cover plate through the connecting angle steels and the container connecting beam. Furthermore, weather-resistant sealant is added between the waterproof bending piece of the cover plate and the connecting angle steel to enhance waterproofing, forming a fixed connection between the two sides of the container, thereby preventing the container from loosening and improving the overall sealing effect.
[0008] Preferably, both of the connecting angle steels have an angle steel extension surface at their top, and the cover plate waterproof bending member has a bending member contraction surface at the position of the two connecting angle steels for abutting and fixing with the two angle steel extension surfaces.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the extended surfaces of the two angle steels are inserted into the contraction surfaces of the bent parts, thereby being subjected to the contraction force formed by the inclined surface of the contraction surfaces of the bent parts. This causes the two connecting angle steels to move the containers on both sides toward each other. During the movement of the containers, the T-shaped rubber belt is subjected to extrusion force, which reduces the gap between the containers on both sides. At the same time, the T-shaped rubber is deformed and filled into the gap, improving the sealing effect.
[0010] Preferably, a limiting beam is fixedly provided in the middle of the inner surface of the waterproof bending component of the cover plate, a movable groove is provided inside the limiting beam, an extension plate is movably arranged in the movable groove, and an extrusion protrusion for extruding the T-shaped rubber strip is fixedly provided at the bottom of the extension plate.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening of the movable groove provides space for the movement of the extension plate, and the extension plate is limited in the limiting beam to maintain the lifting and lowering movement. The extrusion protrusion is set at the bottom of the extension plate, so as to receive the extension plate to move downward. During the movement, pressure is applied to the top of the T-shaped rubber belt, so that the top of the T-shaped rubber belt deforms and fills along both sides of the extrusion protrusion.
[0012] Preferably, the inner surface of the waterproof bending member of the cover plate is fixed with rotating fulcrums on both sides of the limiting beam, and multiple rotating plates are rotatably arranged at the bottom of each of the two rotating fulcrums, with the multiple rotating plates divided into two groups by the two rotating fulcrums.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating plate is connected along the rotation fulcrum, thereby rotating laterally within the waterproof bending part of the cover plate, transmitting thrust for the lifting and lowering movement of the extension plate.
[0014] Preferably, each of the two sets of rotating plates has an interactive plate rotatably mounted on the bottom of its opposite side. Both sets of interactive plates are located within the movable groove and are rotatably connected to the top of the extension plate.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotating plate rotates, it applies a downward tilting force to the interactive plate. At the same time, the two ends of the interactive plate are respectively connected to the extension plate and the rotating plate, thereby converting the downward tilting force into a vertical downward force and sending it to the top of the extension plate, so that the extension plate can move up and down.
[0016] Preferably, each of the two sets of rotating plates has a force-bearing plate rotatably mounted on opposite sides, and both force-bearing plates protrude from the two slots formed by the limiting beam and the waterproof bending member of the cover plate.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the two force-bearing plates protrude from the two slots respectively, thereby receiving external thrust and squeezing inward along the slots, thereby applying an upward thrust to one side of the rotating plate.
[0018] Preferably, the tops of the two force-bearing plates are each fixedly provided with extension springs between the multiple rotating plates, and the tops of the multiple extension springs are all fixedly connected to the inner surface of the waterproof bending component of the cover plate.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension spring is located inside the waterproof bending part of the cover plate and applies a pushing force to the stress plate, keeping the stress plate in a state of protrusion within the two slots formed by the limiting beam and the waterproof bending part of the cover plate.
[0020] Preferably, the top of each of the two angle steel extension surfaces is pressed into two slots formed by the limiting beam and the waterproof bending member of the cover plate, and abuts against the bottom of the two load-bearing plates.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the waterproof bending part of the cover plate is pressed down and abuts against the two connecting angle steels, so that the top of the extended surface of the two angle steels moves closer to the inner surface of the waterproof bending part of the cover plate, thereby lifting the bottom of the load-bearing plate, so that the load-bearing plate applies an upward pushing force to one side of the rotating plate.
[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] 1. Initial sealing and connection of container splicing points are achieved using T-shaped rubber strips. Then, self-tapping screws are driven into the surface of the waterproof bending parts of the cover plate, thus securing the cover plate, connecting angle steel, and container. During the fixing process, the distance between the cover plate and the connecting angle steel is gradually shortened, causing the extended surface of the angle steel to press against the stress plate. This forms a rotating plate that drives the interactive plate to apply thrust to the extrusion protrusions. The extrusion protrusions from the movable groove and presses against the top of the T-shaped rubber strip. This, combined with the angle steel's extended surface pressing into the contraction surface of the bending part, shortens the distance between the two containers, resulting in secondary extrusion on both sides of the T-shaped rubber strip. This causes the T-shaped rubber strip to deform and fill the container splicing gap, ensuring overall stability while improving the sealing effect and effectively preventing external moisture from seeping in from the top of the container and damaging the internal cargo.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0032] This application discloses a waterproof structure for container consolidation.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 A container consolidation waterproof structure includes a T-shaped rubber band 1 and weather-resistant sealant. The structure is characterized by: when consolidating two flat-topped containers on-site, the bottom of the T-shaped rubber band 1 is inserted into the gap between the two containers, and a layer of weather-resistant sealant is applied to the bottom surface of the T-shaped rubber band 1 to maintain the connection between the T-shaped rubber band 1 and the two containers while sealing the gap. Connecting angle steel 3 is installed on one side of the top surface of the two containers, located on the T-shaped rubber band 1. The two connecting angle steel 3 are L-shaped and have a tin-plated surface for waterproofing and corrosion protection. Both connecting angle steel 3 are fixed to the container surface using a full welding process, and locking gaskets and reinforcing ribs are introduced at the welding points to improve the stability, strength, and sealing of the welded structure.
[0035] A cover plate waterproof bending component 4 is fitted onto the surface of the two connecting angle steels 3. The cover plate waterproof bending component 4 is in the shape of a "Z". The bottom of the "Z" shape of the cover plate waterproof bending component 4 abuts against the L-shaped surface of the two connecting angle steels 3. Self-tapping screws 2 are provided on both sides of the top surface of the "Z" shape of the cover plate waterproof bending component 4. The bottom thread of the self-tapping screw 2 penetrates the surface of the cover plate waterproof bending component 4 and the connecting angle steel 3, and is located inside the container. It is connected with a nut, thereby forming an overall fixation of the cover plate waterproof bending component 4, the connecting angle steel 3 and the container.
[0036] It should be noted that the head of the self-tapping screw 2 is coated with glue, which allows it to be inserted into the through hole as the screw thread turns in. A waterproof washer is also provided on the top of the self-tapping screw 2 to increase friction with the surface of the cover plate waterproof bending component 4, while preventing moisture from seeping into the container through the through hole. The L-shaped connecting angle steel 3 has a long side of 50mm and a short side of 32mm. The overall long side of the cover plate waterproof bending component 4 is 50mm, the wide side is 40mm, and the long side of the two side brackets is 15mm. Weather-resistant sealant is used to seal the area between the cover plate waterproof bending component 4 and the two connecting angle steel 3, improving precision and sealing. The cover plate waterproof bending component 4 is made of Q345 steel and has a tin-plated surface, providing high strength and improved corrosion resistance.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 A container waterproofing structure includes angle steel extension surfaces 6 set on the top of two connecting angle steels 3. The two angle steel extension surfaces 6 are inclined in opposite directions longitudinally, with an inclination angle of 15°. The inner surface of the cover waterproofing bending component 4 is provided with bending component contraction surfaces 5 at the positions of the two angle steel extension surfaces 6, with an inclination angle of 15°. The two sides of the bending component contraction surfaces 5 are laterally opposite to the inclination directions of the two angle steel extension surfaces 6. A limiting beam 7 is fixed in the middle of the inner surface of the cover waterproofing bending component 4. The limiting beam 7 is inserted between the two connecting angle steels 3. The two sides of the limiting beam 7 are fixed to the inner surface of the cover waterproofing bending component 4. A movable groove 13 is opened through the top of the limiting beam 7 downwards. The bottom opening of the movable groove 13 is aligned with the top center of the T-shaped rubber strip 1.
[0039] The top of the inner surface of the cover plate waterproof bending component 4 is fixed with rotating fulcrums 8 on both sides of the limiting beam 7. Each of the two rotating fulcrums 8 is rotatably connected to multiple rotating plates 9 (the number of rotating plates 9 is adjusted according to the length of the container). Each of the multiple rotating plates 9 is rotatably connected to an interactive plate 12 on the opposite side. The two rows of interactive plates 12 are vertical and their bottoms are movably inserted into the movable groove 13. Each pair of opposite interactive plates 12 is rotatably connected to an extension plate 14 at the bottom. The side surfaces of the multiple extension plates 14 are movably abutting against the inner wall of the movable groove 13 (the inner wall of the movable groove 13 is fixed with partitions between the multiple extension plates 14, so that each extension plate 14 is in a separated state and forms a limiting effect on the extension plate 14).
[0040] The bottom of the extension plate 14 protrudes from the movable groove 13 between the two connecting angle steels 3, and a pressing protrusion 15 is fixed at the protruding end. The pressing protrusion 15 is an equilateral trapezoid, and the width of the pressing protrusion 15 is greater than that of the movable groove 13, so as to prevent the pressing protrusion 15 from entering the movable groove 13 when the extension plate 14 rises, thus forming a limit. Under normal conditions, the top of the pressing protrusion 15 abuts against the surface of the groove opening of the movable groove 13. When the extension plate 14 descends to the lowest point, the pressing protrusion 15 presses against the T-shaped rubber belt 1.
[0041] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 Multiple rotating plates 9 are hinged to force-bearing plates 10 on the side away from the fulcrum via rotating shafts, forming a limiting contact structure. Connecting blocks are fixed on the upper surface of the force-bearing plates 10 at the positions of the multiple rotating plates 9, and the multiple connecting blocks are rotatably connected to the multiple rotating plates 9 one by one. At the same time, extension springs 11 are fixed on the upper surface of the force-bearing plates 10 at the positions between the multiple connecting blocks (the formula for calculating the spring force is F = kx, where F represents the spring force, k represents the spring constant (the magnitude of the spring force generated by the spring under force per unit length), and x represents the spring compression (the displacement distance of the spring from its original state to its compressed state). The spring force of the extension spring 11 can be calculated using this formula. One end of the extension spring 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner surface of the waterproof bending part 4 of the cover plate, thereby applying a rebound force to the force-bearing plates 10.
[0042] The extension spring 11 is normally in the extended state, and the limiting beam 7 is located inside the cover plate waterproof bending member 4, thereby dividing the internal space into two sides. The extension spring 11 extends and causes the force plates 10 on both sides to protrude downward from the openings on both sides, thereby providing a contact groove with the top of the angle steel extension surface 6.
[0043] The implementation principle of a container waterproof structure according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When installing this structure, personnel need to first apply a layer of weather-resistant sealant to the surface of the T-shaped rubber strip 1, and fill the gap between the two containers with the T-shaped rubber strip 1 between the two connecting angle steels 3. Then, the cover plate waterproof bending piece 4 covers the two connecting angle steels 3 from top to bottom. At this time, since the extension spring 11 is in the extended state, the stress plate 10 protrudes downward from the groove formed by the inner wall of the cover plate waterproof bending piece 4 and the limiting beam 7. When the cover plate waterproof bending piece 4 is placed on the top of the two connecting angle steels 3 and the angle steel extension surface 6 abuts against the stress plate 10, there is still a 1-2cm space between the two sides of the zigzag protrusion of the cover plate waterproof bending piece 4 and the bending surface of the two connecting angle steels 3.
[0044] Then, the personnel rotate the self-tapping screws 2 on the surface of the waterproof bending part 4 of the cover plate. As the self-tapping screws 2 are screwed into the waterproof bending part 4 of the cover plate, the connecting angle steel 3 and the container in sequence, the distance between the surface of the waterproof bending part 4 of the cover plate and the surface of the connecting angle steel 3 is shortened. This causes the extended surface 6 of the angle steel to press the force plate 10 upward. The force plate 10 is pressed upward and moves upward, thereby applying a thrust to one side of the rotating plate 9. The rotating plate 9 rotates around the rotation fulcrum 8 with the thrust on one side, thereby causing the opposite side of the rotating plate 9 to rotate clockwise and apply a downward thrust to the top of the interactive plate 12.
[0045] Since the interactive plate 12 is in a rotating connection with the rotating plate 9 and the extension plate 14, and the interactive plate 12 is limited by the inner wall of the movable groove 13, the interactive plate 12 converts the inclined downward thrust into a vertical downward thrust and applies it to the top of the extension plate 14, causing the extension plate 14 to move downward along the movable groove 13, pushing the extrusion protrusion 15 to press against the top surface of the T-shaped rubber belt 1. The top of the T-shaped rubber belt 1 is deformed by the extrusion, thereby extending along the trapezoidal surface of the extrusion protrusion 15 to the gap between the extrusion protrusion 15 and the connecting angle steel 3.
[0046] Meanwhile, as the self-tapping screw 2 continues to rotate, the tops of the two angle steel extension surfaces 6 gradually come into contact with and are squeezed by the bending shrinkage surface 5. Since the inner wall surface of the bending shrinkage surface 5 is inclined opposite to the angle steel extension surface 6, the waterproof bending part 4 of the cover plate exerts an interaction force on the two angle steel extension surfaces 6 by the bending shrinkage surface 5 while it is pressing down. This causes the two angle steel extension surfaces 6 to drive the connecting angle steel 3 to move towards each other, thereby driving the two containers to move towards each other and shortening the space between the two containers. During the movement of the two containers, a thrust is applied to the bottom sides of the T-shaped rubber strip 1, causing the T-shaped rubber strip 1 to deform by becoming narrower and longer, thereby increasing the filling area of the T-shaped rubber strip 1 in the container gap. This improves the waterproofness of the container joint and effectively prevents external rainwater and condensate from seeping into the container.
[0047] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
