Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, and in particular to a tank container valve box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when opening the valve box of a tank container, the operator needs to pull the door with one hand and tighten the spring handle with the other hand to fix the door. The operation is not only laborious but also poses a risk of cutting hands, which seriously affects the ease of use of the valve box. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing a tank container valve box.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A tank container valve box includes a box body, a box door and several hinge assemblies. The box door is rotatably connected to the box body through the hinge assemblies. It also includes an L-shaped support rod limiting plate and a support rod. The support rod limiting plate is disposed in the box body and has an L-shaped sliding groove thereon. One end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the box door, and the other end can slide in the sliding groove and has a locking end.

[0005] Preferably, the hinge assembly includes a hinge and two bolts, nuts, and washers, with the two blades of the hinge respectively fixed to the housing and the door by the cooperation of the bolts, nuts, and washers.

[0006] Preferably, the interior of the door is hollow.

[0007] Preferably, the door is provided with a rotating rod and two vertical plates, the rotating rod is disposed between the two vertical plates, and one end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the rotating rod.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: when the door is opened, it is automatically limited; when it is pulled up again, the limit is automatically released. The limit and release can be automatically repeated, which is simple and easy to use. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 6 A type of tank container valve box includes a container body 10, a door 2, and several hinge assemblies. The door 2 is rotatably connected to the container body 10 through the hinge assemblies. It also includes an L-shaped support rod limiting plate 3 and a support rod 4. The support rod limiting plate 3 is disposed inside the container body 10 and has an L-shaped sliding groove 301 on it. One end of the support rod 4 is rotatably connected to the door 2, and the other end can slide in the sliding groove 301 and has a locking slot 401 at that end. In this invention, when a pulling force is applied to the door 2, the door 2 rotates counterclockwise on the box body 10 via the hinge assembly, and the box body 10 is opened. At the same time, during the opening of the door 2, one end of the support rod limiting plate 3 slides in the slide groove 301 until the latch 401 engages with the right side wall of the slide groove 301, so that the support rod 4 supports the door 2 without manual operation of the limiting plate. When closing the door 2, the support rod 4 is pushed to disengage the latch 401 from the right side wall of the slide groove 301, and the door 2 rotates clockwise to close the opening of the box body 10.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features:

[0019] In this embodiment, the hinge assembly includes a hinge 5 and two bolts 6, nuts 7, and washers 8. The two blades of the hinge 5 are respectively fixed to the housing 10 and the door 2 by the cooperation of the bolts 6, the nuts 7, and the washers 8, which facilitates the installation and removal of the door 2.

[0020] In this embodiment, the interior of the door 2 is hollow, which reduces the weight of the door 2 and makes it easier to open the door 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, the door 2 is provided with a rotating rod 201 and two vertical plates 202. The rotating rod 201 is disposed between the two vertical plates 202. One end of the support rod 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 201. When the door 2 is opened or closed, the support rod 4 moves with the door 2, and at the same time, one end of the support rod 4 will rotate on the rotating rod 201.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
