Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, specifically to a steel structure accessory for containers. Background Technology
[0002] A shipping container is a large container used for transporting goods, typically by sea. They have standardized dimensions and provide an efficient and convenient way to transport goods. The steel structural components of a shipping container are a crucial factor in ensuring its stability.
[0003] In existing shipping containers, most of the steel structural components that make up the container frame are assembled by welding. Similarly, other steel structural components installed inside the frame are also mostly fixed by welding, resulting in a monolithic container design. Therefore, neither the container frame steel structural components nor the internal steel structural components can be replaced after prolonged use and wear, leading to reduced stability and robustness of the container. Replacement would require replacing the entire container, wasting resources and increasing costs. Reducing costs would require cutting off the damaged parts individually with a cutting machine, replacing them with new components, and then re-welding – a cumbersome and inconvenient maintenance method.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we studied and improved the existing structure to address its shortcomings, and proposed a steel structure accessory for containers. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a steel structure accessory for containers to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a steel structure accessory for a container, comprising a connector, wherein each of the three ends of the connector is provided with an insertion port, and positioning screw holes are provided on both sides of the insertion port on the outer surface of the connector, wherein the inner surfaces of the positioning screw holes are threaded and connected by fastening bolts, and a support frame is inserted into the upper and lower corresponding insertion ports of the connector, an upper crossbar is inserted into the left and right corresponding insertion ports of the upper connector, and an upper longitudinal frame is inserted into the front and rear corresponding insertion ports of the upper connector, a lower crossbar is inserted into the left and right corresponding insertion ports of the lower connector, and a lower longitudinal frame is inserted into the front and rear corresponding insertion ports of the lower connector, wherein connecting screw holes are provided on the adjacent surfaces at both ends of the upper crossbar, upper longitudinal frame, support frame, lower crossbar, and lower longitudinal frame.
[0007] Preferably, the connecting screw hole matches the positioning screw hole, and the fastening bolt passes through the positioning screw hole and the connecting screw hole for threaded connection.
[0008] Preferably, the upper surface of the upper cross frame, upper longitudinal frame, lower cross frame and lower longitudinal frame are provided with mounting screw holes, and the mounting screw holes can be used to connect other steel structural components with screws.
[0009] Preferably, the connecting screw holes and assembly screw holes on one side of the upper cross frame and upper longitudinal frame are located on the same surface, and the connecting screw holes and assembly screw holes on one side of the lower cross frame and lower longitudinal frame are located on opposite sides.
[0010] Preferably, magnetic blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the inner surfaces of the upper horizontal frame, upper vertical frame, support frame, lower horizontal frame, and lower vertical frame, and the magnetic blocks can be attracted to the connecting parts.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This utility model, through the setting of connectors, sockets, positioning holes and screw holes, fastening bolts and connecting screw holes, allows each steel frame to be assembled by plugging and connecting the sockets of the connectors to form a complete container frame. After each steel frame is inserted into the socket, the fastening bolts are screwed through the positioning holes and screw holes, and the threaded connection is inserted into the connecting screw holes, thereby quickly and conveniently fixing the container frame. Furthermore, the container structure assembled in this way can be disassembled and replaced at any time, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance and greatly improves the ease of use.
[0013] 2. This utility model, through the installation of screw holes and magnetic blocks, allows the magnetic blocks to tightly adhere to the connectors after each steel frame is inserted into the slot, thereby pre-fixing the steel frame and the connectors. This eliminates the need for multiple people to assist in stabilizing the steel frame during container frame installation; a single person can insert and position the steel frame and then tighten it, greatly improving the ease of installation and efficiency. Furthermore, the screw holes allow for the use of screws to fasten other auxiliary structural components on the upper and lower sides of the container frame as needed, facilitating installation and disassembly.

[0018] 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.
[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a steel structure fitting for a container includes a connector 1. Each of the three ends of the connector 1 is provided with a socket 2. Positioning screw holes 3 are provided on both sides of the socket 2 on the outer surface of the connector 1. The inner surfaces of the positioning screw holes 3 are threaded and connected by fastening bolts 4. Support frames 7 are inserted into the upper and lower corresponding sockets 2 of the connector 1. Upper cross frames 5 are inserted into the left and right corresponding sockets 2 of the upper connector 1, and upper longitudinal frames 6 are inserted into the front and rear corresponding sockets 2 of the upper connector 1. Lower cross frames 8 are inserted into the left and right corresponding sockets 2 of the lower connector 1, and lower longitudinal frames 9 are inserted into the front and rear corresponding sockets 2 of the lower connector 1. Connecting screw holes 10 are provided on the adjacent surfaces at both ends of the upper cross frame 5, upper longitudinal frame 6, support frame 7, lower cross frame 8 and lower longitudinal frame 9.
[0020] The connecting screw hole 10 matches the positioning screw hole 3, and the fastening bolt 4 passes through the positioning screw hole 3 and is threadedly connected to the connecting screw hole 10.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, each steel frame is connected to the insertion port 2 of the connector 1 to form a complete container frame;
[0022] After each steel frame is inserted into the socket 2, the fastening bolt 4 is screwed through the positioning hole screw hole 3 and the threaded connection is inserted into the connecting screw hole 10, thereby quickly and conveniently fixing the container frame.
[0023] Furthermore, the upper surfaces of the upper horizontal frame 5, upper vertical frame 6, lower horizontal frame 8, and lower vertical frame 9 are all provided with mounting screw holes 11, and the mounting screw holes 11 can be used to connect other steel structural components with screws.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution and by assembling the screw holes 11, other auxiliary structural components can also be fastened to the upper and lower sides of the entire container frame with screws as needed, which also facilitates installation and disassembly.
[0025] Furthermore, the connecting screw holes 10 and the assembly screw holes 11 on one side of the upper cross frame 5 and the upper longitudinal frame 6 are located on the same surface, while the connecting screw holes 10 and the assembly screw holes 11 on one side of the lower cross frame 8 and the lower longitudinal frame 9 are located on opposite sides.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, different ways of opening the connecting screw holes 10 enable the upper horizontal frame 5 and the upper vertical frame 6 to be matched with the upper connecting piece 1 for installation, and the lower horizontal frame 8 and the lower vertical frame 9 to be matched with the lower connecting piece 1 for installation.
[0027] Furthermore, magnetic blocks 12 are fixedly connected to both ends of the inner surfaces of the upper horizontal frame 5, upper vertical frame 6, support frame 7, lower horizontal frame 8, and lower vertical frame 9, and the magnetic blocks 12 can be attracted to the connector 1.
[0028] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, after each steel frame is inserted into the socket 2, the magnetic block 12 can be tightly attracted to the connector 1, thereby pre-fixing the steel frame and the connector 1. This means that when installing the container frame, there is no need for multiple people to assist in stabilizing the steel frame. A single person can insert and position the steel frame and then tighten it.
[0029] Working principle: When using this steel structure accessory for containers, firstly, the various steel frames are connected to the connector 1 through the socket 2 to form a complete container frame. After the steel frames are inserted into the socket 2, the magnetic block 12 can be tightly attracted to the connector 1, thereby pre-fixing the steel frame and the connector 1. Then, the fastening bolt 4 is screwed through the positioning screw hole 3 and threaded into the connecting screw hole 10, which can quickly and easily fix the container frame. After the complete container frame is assembled, the upper horizontal frame 5, upper vertical frame 6, lower horizontal frame 8 and lower vertical frame 9 have uniform mounting screw holes 11 on their upper surfaces, which allows other auxiliary structural components to be fastened with screws on the upper and lower sides of the entire container frame as needed, and also facilitates installation and disassembly. This is the working principle of this steel structure accessory for containers.
