Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, and more specifically, to a bottom support structure for a container. Background Technology
[0002] A container is a modular tool that can carry packaged or unpackaged goods for transport and is easy to load and unload using mechanical equipment. The greatest success of containers lies in the standardization of their products and the entire transportation system established as a result. Containers have enabled the standardization of a massive object weighing tens of tons, and on this basis, a global logistics system has been gradually realized that integrates ships, ports, shipping routes, highways, transit stations, bridges, tunnels, and multimodal transport. This is indeed one of the greatest miracles created by mankind in history.
[0003] Some existing shipping containers use four uprights as a support structure at the bottom. Since these containers are typically made of sheet metal, relying solely on four uprights for support is ineffective and reduces the container's usability. Therefore, we propose a new bottom support structure for shipping containers. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a container bottom support structure, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A container bottom support structure includes a container body, a base frame at the bottom of the container body, columns at the four corners of the base frame, a plurality of assembly blocks arranged in a linear array inside the base frame, two symmetrically distributed auxiliary columns at the bottom of the assembly blocks, and positioning components between the auxiliary columns and the bottom of the assembly blocks on the same side; a plurality of stabilizing blocks arranged in a linear array inside the base frame, and grooves matching the stabilizing blocks are formed on the top of the assembly blocks.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the equipment, the operator places multiple assembly blocks inside the base frame. The bottom of the assembly blocks is equipped with auxiliary columns, and the auxiliary columns and the assembly blocks on the same side are fixed by positioning components, which facilitates subsequent disassembly and assembly. Then, the operator places stabilizing blocks on top of the multiple assembly blocks. The top of the assembly blocks has grooves that match the top of the stabilizing blocks, which serve to restrict and position the stabilizing blocks. The base frame and the bottom of the container body are fixed by fasteners using existing technology. Through the cooperation of the base frame, columns, assembly blocks, stabilizing blocks and auxiliary columns, the container body is supported and stabilized, which helps to improve the load-bearing capacity of the bottom of the container body.
[0007] Furthermore, the positioning component includes an insert block fixedly installed on the top of the auxiliary column. The bottom of the assembly block has a slot that matches the insert block on the same side. Movable grooves are opened on both sides of the insert block. Positioning rods are slidably installed in the movable grooves. Springs are fixedly connected between the opposite ends of the two positioning rods in the same group and the inner wall of the opposite side of the movable groove on the same side. Positioning grooves that match the positioning rods on the same side are opened on the inner wall of the slot.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the workers place the auxiliary column at the bottom of the assembly block, so that the insert block installed at the top of the auxiliary column engages with the slot opened at the bottom of the assembly block. This serves to assemble the auxiliary column and the assembly block. When the insert block moves into the slot on the same side, the positioning rod slides into the movable groove on the same side under the action of the inner wall of the slot, and the positioning rod compresses the spring on the same side to retract. When the insert block and the slot on the same side engage, and the positioning rod returns to its original position under the elastic force of the spring on the same side, the positioning rod engages with the positioning groove on the same side, thus fixing the auxiliary column. Through the cooperation of multiple auxiliary columns and uprights, the container body is supported and stabilized. The cooperation of the insert block and the slot facilitates subsequent assembly and disassembly.
[0009] Furthermore, two symmetrically distributed sliders are fixedly installed on the opposite sidewalls of the two positioning rods in the same group, and the inner wall of the movable groove is provided with a sliding groove that matches the slider on the same side.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the positioning rod slides in the same side movable groove, the positioning rod, along with the slider, slides in the same side sliding groove. The cooperation between the slider and the sliding groove helps to maintain the stability of the positioning rod's sliding and helps to prevent the positioning rod from disengaging from the same side movable groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of the base frame has a slot that matches the stabilizing block, and a fixing rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the slot. The bottom of the stabilizing block has a fixing hole that matches the fixing rod on the same side.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a slot matching the stabilizing block is opened at the top of the base frame, which can restrict and position the stabilizing block. A fixing rod is provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the slot. When the stabilizing block is placed inside the slot, the fixing rod passes through the fixing hole opened on the surface of the stabilizing block, which further restricts and positions the stabilizing block and helps to maintain the stability of the stabilizing block installation.
[0013] Furthermore, limiting plates are provided on both sides of the base frame, and the two limiting plates are fixed to the base frame by the first bolt.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, limiting plates are provided on both sides of the base frame. The limiting plates are fixed by the first bolt, and the limiting plates can play the role of restricting and positioning the container body.
[0015] Furthermore, two symmetrically distributed limiting blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the base frame, and the bottom of the two limiting plates are provided with limiting grooves that match the limiting blocks on the same side.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, limit blocks are provided on both sides of the base frame. When installing the limit plate, the workers will engage the limit groove at the bottom of the limit plate with the limit block on the same side to position the limit plate and facilitate subsequent fixing.
[0017] Furthermore, the top of the base frame is provided with a placement slot that matches the assembly block, and the assembly block and the placement slot on the same side are fixed together by a second bolt.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a placement groove matching the assembly block is opened at the top of the base frame. The assembly block and the placement groove on the same side engage, which can play the role of restricting and positioning the assembly block, and facilitate subsequent fixing with the second bolt.
[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0020] (1) In this utility model, the bottom of the container body plays a supporting and stabilizing role through the cooperation of the base frame, assembly blocks, stabilizing blocks, columns and auxiliary columns, which is conducive to improving the bearing capacity of the bottom of the container body and thus conducive to maintaining the stability of the container body when placed.
[0021] (2) In this utility model, the auxiliary column and the assembly block are positioned by interlocking with the insert and the slot, and a positioning component is provided between the insert and the slot to stabilize the insert. The side wall of the insert is fitted with a rubber sleeve, which helps to increase the friction between the insert and the slot on the same side, thereby improving the stability of the auxiliary column installation.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0034] Please see Figure 1-6A container bottom support structure includes a container body 1, a base frame 2 at the bottom of the container body 1, columns 3 at the four corners of the bottom of the base frame 2, multiple assembly blocks 8 arranged in a linear array inside the base frame 2, a placement groove 12 matching the assembly block 8 at the top of the base frame 2, and the assembly block 8 and the placement groove 12 on the same side are fixed together by a second bolt. Two auxiliary columns 4 are symmetrically distributed at the bottom of the assembly block 8, and a positioning component is provided between the auxiliary column 4 and the bottom of the assembly block 8 on the same side. The positioning component includes an insert 14 fixedly installed at the top of the auxiliary column 4, a slot 13 matching the insert 14 on the same side at the bottom of the assembly block 8, movable grooves 17 on both sides of the insert 14, and positioning rods 15 slidably installed in the movable grooves 17. A spring 16 is fixedly connected between the opposite end of the two positioning rods 15 in the same group and the inner wall of the opposite side of the movable groove 17 on the same side. A positioning groove matching the positioning rod 15 on the same side is provided in the inner wall of the slot 13.
[0035] When using the equipment, the operator places multiple assembly blocks 8 inside the base frame 2. The top of the base frame 2 has a placement groove 12 that matches the assembly block 8. The assembly block 8 engages with the placement groove 12 on the same side, thus securing and positioning the assembly block 8, facilitating subsequent fixing with a second bolt. Furthermore, the bottom of the assembly block 8 has an auxiliary column 4. Through the cooperation of the column 3 and the auxiliary column 4, it supports and stabilizes the container body 1, improving the load-bearing capacity of the container body 1. The operator places the auxiliary column 4 at the bottom of the assembly block 8, so that the insert 14 installed at the top of the auxiliary column 4 engages with the slot 13 at the bottom of the assembly block 8. It can serve as an auxiliary column 4 and an assembly block 8. When the insert block 14 moves into the slot 13 on the same side, the positioning rod 15 slides into the movable groove 17 on the same side under the action of the inner wall of the slot 13. The positioning rod 15 compresses the spring 16 on the same side to retract. When the insert block 14 and the slot 13 on the same side are engaged, the positioning rod 15 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the spring 16 on the same side, so that the positioning rod 15 and the positioning groove on the same side are engaged. This can serve as a positioning and fixing auxiliary column 4. Through the cooperation of multiple auxiliary columns 4 and columns 3, it can support and stabilize the container body 1. Through the cooperation of the insert block 14 and the slot 13, it is convenient for subsequent disassembly and assembly.
[0036] Two symmetrically distributed sliders are fixedly installed on the opposite side walls of the two positioning rods 15 in the same group. The inner wall of the movable groove 17 is provided with a sliding groove that matches the slider on the same side. When the positioning rod 15 slides in the movable groove 17 on the same side, the positioning rod 15 slides in the sliding groove on the same side with the slider. The cooperation between the slider and the sliding groove helps to maintain the stability of the sliding of the positioning rod 15 and helps to prevent the positioning rod 15 from disengaging from the movable groove 17 on the same side.
[0037] The base frame 2 contains multiple stabilizing blocks 7 arranged in a linear array. The top of each assembly block 8 has a groove 9 that matches the stabilizing block 7. The top of the base frame 2 has a slot 10 that matches the stabilizing block 7. A fixing rod 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the slot 10. The bottom of each stabilizing block 7 has a fixing hole that matches the fixing rod 11 on the same side. When the operator places the stabilizing block 7 on top of the multiple assembly blocks 8, the groove 9 on the top of each assembly block 8 matches the top of the stabilizing block 7, thus limiting and positioning the stabilizing block 7. The slot 10 on the top of the base frame 2 matches the stabilizing block 7, thus limiting and positioning the stabilizing block 7. The inner wall of the bottom of the slot 10 has a fixing rod 11. When the stabilizing block 7 is placed inside the slot 10, the fixing rod 11 passes through the fixing hole on the surface of the stabilizing block 7, further limiting and positioning the stabilizing block 7, which helps maintain the stability of the stabilizing block 7 during installation.
[0038] Both sides of the base frame 2 are provided with limiting plates 5. The two limiting plates 5 are fixed to the base frame 2 by the first bolt. Two symmetrically distributed limiting blocks 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the base frame 2. The bottom end of the two limiting plates 5 is provided with a limiting groove that matches the limiting block 6 on the same side. The limiting plates 5 are provided on both sides of the base frame 2 and are fixed by the first bolt. The limiting plates 5 can play the role of limiting and positioning the container body 1. The limiting blocks 6 are provided on both sides of the base frame 2. When installing the limiting plates 5, the workers will engage the limiting groove at the bottom of the limiting plate 5 with the limiting block 6 on the same side to position the limiting plates 5 and facilitate subsequent fixing.
[0039] The implementation principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows: When the equipment is in use, the operator places multiple assembly blocks 8 inside the base frame 2, and the bottom of the assembly block 8 is provided with an auxiliary column 4. The auxiliary column 4 and the assembly block 8 on the same side are fixed by a positioning component, which facilitates subsequent disassembly and assembly. Then, the operator places a stabilizing block 7 on top of the multiple assembly blocks 8. The top of the assembly block 8 is provided with a groove 9 that matches the top of the stabilizing block 7, which serves to limit and position the stabilizing block 7. The base frame 2 and the bottom of the container body 1 are fixed by fasteners of the prior art. Through the cooperation of the base frame 2, column 3, assembly block 8, stabilizing block 7 and auxiliary column 4, the container body 1 is supported and stabilized, which helps to improve the bearing capacity of the bottom of the container body 1.
