Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a lifting-type high-performance bamboo and wood biomass container, belonging to the field of cargo transportation equipment technology, and is particularly suitable for various cargo transportation scenarios such as sea transport, land transport, and warehousing. Background Technology

[0002] In modern freight transport systems, containers are key transport equipment, and their performance and material selection are of paramount importance.

[0003] The standard shipping containers currently on the market are mainly made of steel and other metals. Steel containers are heavy and consume a lot of fuel during transportation. Taking a 10-ton truck as an example, if it is equipped with a traditional steel container, the actual cargo capacity may be reduced by 1-2 tons due to the excessive weight of the container, while fuel consumption will increase by 10%-15%, significantly increasing transportation costs.

[0004] Steel is prone to corrosion, especially in marine environments. This results in high maintenance costs for steel containers. Statistics show that each maintenance session costs approximately 5%-10% of the container's cost. Frequent maintenance can lead to container downtime, impacting its efficiency and reducing the continuity and timeliness of transportation.

[0005] Steel production is an energy-intensive and highly polluting process. Producing one ton of steel requires approximately 1.5-2 tons of iron ore and 0.5-0.6 tons of coal, while also emitting 1.6 tons of carbon dioxide and generating large amounts of waste slag, exhaust gases, and other pollutants.

[0006] Although there are attempts to improve containers using lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys, aluminum alloys are expensive, costing 20%-30% more than steel. Furthermore, aluminum alloys have limitations in strength and impact resistance, making them unsuitable for the demands of containers in complex environments. For example, aluminum alloy containers are more prone to deformation and damage when subjected to collisions during loading and unloading.

[0007] To reduce weight, decrease reliance on mineral resources, and extend the lifespan of containers, thereby achieving cost reduction, resource conservation, and environmental protection, this technology has developed a bamboo-wood biomass material container. Nature is rich in biomass resources. Based on natural resources and industrial technology, biomass composite materials such as reconstituted bamboo, engineered bamboo, bamboo woven plywood, bamboo-plastic composites, bamboo shavings composites, bamboo chip profiles, engineered wood, bamboo-wood composites, and straw boards have been developed. This invention aims to utilize the excellent properties of bamboo-wood biomass materials to develop a container suitable for extra-long dimensions, providing a high-performance, environmentally friendly, and economical container solution for cargo transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a high-performance bamboo and wood biomass container designed for lifting, fully leveraging the advantages of bamboo and wood biomass materials such as lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and environmental friendliness. This effectively solves the problems of traditional steel containers, including heavy weight, susceptibility to corrosion, and high resource consumption. Through innovative design and manufacturing processes, it reduces transportation costs, extends the container's service life, and promotes the container industry towards a green and sustainable development, providing a more efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly solution for cargo transportation.

[0009] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0010] A lifting-type high-performance bamboo and wood biomass material container, characterized in that the lifting-type high-performance bamboo and wood biomass material mainly consists of basalt fiber-bamboo and wood biomass material corner posts (1), central posts (2), longitudinal bottom edge beams (3), longitudinal top edge beams (4), transverse short beams (5), bottom middle longitudinal short beams (6), diagonal braces (7), basalt fiber-steel-corner connectors (8), basalt fiber-steel sleeve connectors (9), basalt fiber-steel connectors (10), and oblique "T"-shaped basalt fiber-steel connectors. (11) The container is composed of a door (13), a bottom plate (14), a top plate (15), longitudinal side plates (16), transverse side plates (17), and an anti-corrosion, anti-mildew, and anti-UV coating; the longitudinal bottom edge beam (3) and the longitudinal top edge beam (4) are formed by pressing basalt fiber-bamboo biomass material in one piece and arranged along the entire length; when the transverse short beam (5) is used as the bottom edge beam, that is, the first bottom steel transverse short beam (5-1), it is made of basalt fiber-steel and has "door" shaped ends; the basalt fiber-steel-corner connector (8) is located at the four corners of the container. This is an integrated connector mainly composed of corner fittings, basalt fiber-steel sleeves, basalt fiber-I-beams, and basalt fiber-steel plates welded together. The corner fittings are hollow cubic components, with three adjacent faces having holes for securing the connection during container lifting and unloading. The other three faces without holes are welded with steel sleeves, I-beams, or end beams. The centroids of the steel sleeves and corner fittings are aligned, or the horizontal projection distance between the two centroids is less than one-fifth of the shorter side length of the sleeve. The steel sleeves, I-beams, or end beams are welded to the surface of the end beams. Wrapped with basalt fiber; the fourth transverse short beam (5-4) and the fifth transverse short beam (5-5) are arranged longitudinally at a spacing of no more than 1.5 meters; the central column (2), corner column (1) and longitudinal bottom edge beam (3) are connected by two diagonal braces (7) in an inverted "V" shape, and the corner column (1) is connected to the longitudinal top edge beam (4), the second transverse short beam (5-2) and the third transverse short beam (5-3); doors (13) are installed on the top, end and side of the container; the container enclosure structure is treated with anti-corrosion, anti-mildew and anti-ultraviolet treatment;

[0011] A high-performance bamboo and wood biomass container for hoisting is characterized in that the corner posts (1), center posts (2), longitudinal bottom edge beams (3), longitudinal top edge beams (4), transverse short beams (5), bottom mid-longitudinal short beams (6), and diagonal braces (7) are all made of basalt fiber-bamboo and wood biomass material; the bottom plate (14), top plate (15), longitudinal side plate (16), and transverse side plate (17) are all made of bamboo and wood biomass material; for all connectors and beam and column components, basalt fiber is used to wrap the steel or bamboo and wood biomass material; the outer basalt fiber not only improves the mechanical properties of the connectors or components, but also enhances the durability of the connectors or components.

[0012] A high-performance bamboo and wood biomass container for hoisting is characterized in that the number and arrangement of each component of the frame structure can be increased or decreased according to the weight allowance and usage conditions; the longitudinal bottom beam (3) and the longitudinal top beam (4) can also be formed by splicing two or more beams, but the connection must be reliable.

[0013] A high-performance bamboo and wood biomass container for hoisting, characterized in that the door (13) can be arranged as needed, and can be set in one, two or three positions on the top, side or end face. The door (13) can be made of metal, or can be made of one or more combinations of bamboo laminated timber, bamboo reconstituted timber, bamboo woven plywood, bamboo-plastic composite, bamboo shavings composite, bamboo chip profiles, wood, and straw.

[0014] A high-performance bamboo and wood biomass container for hoisting, characterized in that the bamboo and wood biomass material can be one or more combinations of bamboo reconstituted timber, bamboo laminated timber, bamboo woven plywood, bamboo-plastic composite, bamboo shavings composite, bamboo chip profiles, wood, bamboo-wood composite, and straw; the basalt fiber can be replaced by one or more combinations of glass fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, and basalt fiber; or, depending on the lifespan requirements, only bamboo and wood biomass material or steel can be used.

[0015] A hoisting-type high-performance bamboo and wood biomass container, characterized in that the hoisting-type high-performance bamboo and wood biomass container can also be used as a mobile home.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] Lightweight and efficient: The low density of bamboo and wood biomass materials gives the 40-foot bamboo reconstituted frame container a significant advantage in weight. Traditional 40-foot steel containers typically weigh around 4-5 tons, while this container can reduce its weight to over 3.2 tons. This weight reduction increases effective cargo capacity; compared to steel containers, the effective cargo capacity of a single container can be increased by over 1.8 tons. When loading the same cargo, fuel consumption during container transport using this technology can be reduced by approximately 12% or more.

[0018] Reliable Strength: Bamboo and wood biomass materials possess excellent mechanical properties. Through a scientifically designed frame structure and reliable connection methods, this 40-foot bamboo and wood biomass container fully meets all strength requirements of international container standards. In actual use, whether it's cargo stacking, vibration during transportation, or stress during hoisting operations, the container can stably bear the load, effectively ensuring the safety of goods during transport. Basalt fiber effectively improves the mechanical properties of connectors and assemblies, while also enhancing their corrosion resistance and durability, enabling key load-bearing components to maintain a long service life in marine environments.

[0019] Superior corrosion resistance: In the humid, high-salt-spray environment of ocean shipping, a typical 40-foot steel container requires extensive anti-corrosion maintenance every 3-5 years, including rust removal and repainting, with each maintenance costing a high price. However, this 40-foot bamboo and wood biomass frame container, thanks to its excellent corrosion resistance, can be used continuously for 8-10 years without extensive anti-corrosion treatment, reducing maintenance costs by more than 50%. This not only reduces the manpower, material resources, and financial investment required for maintenance but also significantly improves the container's utilization efficiency and reduces downtime caused by maintenance.

[0020] Environmentally friendly and sustainable: Steel production not only consumes large amounts of natural resources such as iron ore and coal, but also generates significant amounts of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. In contrast, the carbon emissions from bamboo and wood biomass material processing are relatively low. Therefore, promoting the use of 40-foot containers made from reconstituted bamboo helps drive the container industry towards a low-carbon and environmentally friendly direction, aligning with global sustainable development trends and holding significant importance for environmental protection.
