Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of container technology, specifically, it relates to an improvement of a container structure with a dual-use (sea and land) antenna. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of containers, a type of container with special purpose and communication function has emerged. This type of container needs to transmit data from the equipment inside the container to the corresponding outdoor equipment in real time in order to operate normally. The 4G antenna used for communication is generally installed inside the container. However, due to the shielding effect of the container on the signal, the network signal inside the container will be poor, especially in some places where the external base station signal is not good. The insufficient signal is particularly obvious, and there may even be a situation where the network cannot be connected, which will cause the internal equipment to be unable to connect to the network and work.

[0003] Furthermore, the communication method of the aforementioned 4G antenna can only be used to cover and connect containers for land transportation. For containers transported by sea, since they cannot be covered and connected by 4G antennas, real-time data transmission is not possible, which does not meet the requirements for use in maritime transportation.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the aforementioned technical problems of existing containers by proposing a container structure with a dual-use (land and sea) antenna. The structure has a mounting section on the outer side of the top of the front frame, where both a land communication antenna and a sea communication antenna are mounted. This not only ensures strong and interference-free signal strength but also guarantees data transmission reliability regardless of whether the container is transported by sea or land.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model / design objectives, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A container equipped with a amphibious antenna includes:

[0008] The housing includes a front frame, and a mounting portion is formed on the top outer side of the front frame;

[0009] A marine communication antenna is installed at the aforementioned mounting location;

[0010] A land-based communication antenna is installed at the mounting location and has a gap between it and the marine communication antenna.

[0011] A reinforced protective assembly is used to protect the marine communication antenna and the land communication antenna. It includes multiple reinforced protective components, which are installed side by side at the mounting position, with gaps between adjacent reinforced protective components.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model installs both the marine communication antenna and the land communication antenna at the mounting part located on the outer side of the top of the front frame. Since there are no components such as a housing to block the perimeter area on the outer side of the top of the front frame, the marine communication antenna and the land communication antenna mounted at this position can have stronger signal reception and better signal stability.

[0014] Installing both marine and land communication antennas at the installation site allows the container to simultaneously transmit signals both at sea and on land. Regardless of whether the container is transported by land or sea, it can adapt to different transportation environments through the corresponding antennas, ensuring real-time data transmission, the normal operation of equipment inside the container, and the reliability and stability of data reception.

[0029] 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.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, a container with a amphibious antenna is proposed, comprising:

[0035] The housing 100 includes a front frame 110, and a mounting portion is formed on the top outer side of the front frame 110.

[0036] The front frame 110 is located at the front side of the container body 100, forming the front frame of the container. Upper corner brackets 500 are installed and fixed at both ends of the top of the front frame 110, which can be used for lifting the container.

[0037] A marine communication antenna 200 is installed at the aforementioned mounting location;

[0038] The land-based communication antenna 300 is installed at the mounting location and has a gap between it and the marine communication antenna 200.

[0039] In some embodiments, the marine communication antenna 200 is a satellite antenna, and the land communication antenna 300 is a 4G or 5G antenna.

[0040] The land-based communication antenna 300 and the sea-based communication antenna 200 are arranged at a certain distance to avoid interference between them.

[0041] Both the marine communication antenna 200 and the land communication antenna 300 are installed at the mounting part located on the top outer side of the front frame 110. Since there are no components such as the housing 100 to block the perimeter area on the top outer side of the front frame 110, the marine communication antenna 200 and the land communication antenna 300 installed at this position can have stronger signal reception and better signal stability.

[0042] Simultaneous installation of a marine communication antenna 200 and a land communication antenna 300 at the installation section allows the container to simultaneously handle signal transmission at sea and on land. Regardless of whether the container is transported by land or sea, it can adapt to different transportation environments through the corresponding antennas, ensuring real-time data transmission and the normal operation of the equipment inside the container 100, thus guaranteeing the reliability and stability of data reception from the equipment inside the container.

[0043] The reinforced protection assembly is used to protect the marine communication antenna 200 and the land communication antenna 300. It includes multiple reinforced protective components 400, which are installed side by side at the mounting position, with gaps between adjacent reinforced protective components 400.

[0044] Since the marine communication antenna 200 and the land communication antenna 300 are externally mounted on the top of the front frame 110, they may be damaged by accidental bumps during transportation. In order to avoid the above problems, this embodiment provides a reinforced protective component at the mounting part to protect the marine communication antenna 200 and the land communication antenna 300 from damage and ensure that the antennas can reliably and stably transmit data.

[0045] To avoid interference from the reinforced protection components with the antenna transmission signal, the reinforced protection components are structured with multiple reinforced protection components 400, and there are gaps between the multiple reinforced protection components 400 to ensure that the signal can be transmitted normally.

[0046] A protective grille is formed by two reinforced protective components 400 arranged with gaps between them, which can not only protect the marine communication antenna 200 and the land communication antenna 300, but also ensure the normal and stable transmission of signals from both antennas.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the front frame 110 includes a front frame top beam 111, the front frame top beam 111 having a front side surface 113 and a top surface facing forward. Its front side surface 113 does not extend beyond the front side surface of the upper corner piece 500.

[0048] The mounting portion is a recessed portion 120 with openings on the top and sides of the front frame top beam 111, and the marine communication antenna 200 is fixed to the recessed portion 120 by the first antenna mount 710.

[0049] The terrestrial communication antenna 300 is fixed to the recess 120 by the second antenna mount 720.

[0050] The second antenna mount 720 is fixed to the bottom of the recess 120. It is used to support the terrestrial communication antenna 300, so that there is a gap between it and the bottom of the recess 120, ensuring that its signal transmission is not affected by interference.

[0051] When fixed, the terrestrial communication antenna 300 can be fixed to the second antenna mount 720 by the existing structural plastic fixing clip 740.

[0052] The first antenna mount 710 is used to fix the marine communication antenna 200.

[0053] The recessed portion 120 is a recessed groove, and the signal transmission of the antenna can be ensured through the openings at the top and sides of the recessed groove.

[0054] Since the upper corner piece 500 is also located at both ends of the front frame top beam 111, in order to avoid the top of the installed antenna being higher than the top surface of the upper corner line, and the front part protruding from the front side of the upper corner piece 500 interfering with the upper corner piece 500 header or hoisting, it should be ensured that the top of the installed antenna does not exceed the top surface of the upper corner piece 500, and the front part does not exceed the front side of the upper corner piece 500.

[0055] Space is limited for antenna installation. By installing the antenna through a recess 120 on the top beam 111 of the front frame, the antenna can be placed almost entirely within the recess 120, with little or no protrusion. Therefore, the recessed mounting structure is more suitable for installing large-sized marine communication antennas 200 and land communication antennas 300.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, a notch is provided on the front frame top beam 111, and a sealing plate assembly is provided at the notch to seal the notch and form the recess 120.

[0057] The notch is a notch cut from the top beam 111 of the front frame.

[0058] When forming the recessed portion 120, a notch can be made on the top beam 111 of the front frame first, and then a sealing plate assembly can be used to seal the periphery of the notch to enclose the recessed portion 120. During fixing, the sealing plate assembly can be welded and fixed to the periphery of the notch.

[0059] When setting up, the notch can be opened in the middle of the top beam 111 of the front frame to ensure good reception strength of both antenna signals.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, a reinforcing square tube 600 is provided on the front side 113 of the front frame top beam 111 located below the recess 120, thereby enhancing the structural strength at the notch.

[0061] Bending reinforcing ribs are provided on the top surface of both sides of the recessed portion 120 of the front frame top beam 111 to enhance the structural strength of the entire front frame top beam 111.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the sealing plate assembly includes a sealing back plate 121, sealing side plates 122 connected to both sides of the sealing back plate 121, and a sealing bottom plate 123 connected to the sealing side plates 122 on both sides. The reinforcing protective member 400 is connected at one end to the sealing bottom plate 123 and at the other end to the sealing back plate 121.

[0063] The sealing back plate 121, sealing side plate 122, and sealing bottom plate 123 are connected to each other and to the side wall around the notch to seal the notch.

[0064] The reinforcing protective component 400 is an L-shaped reinforcing component, with one end vertically connected to the reinforcing square tube 600 and the other end connected to the sealing back plate 121.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, the front frame top beam 111 is bent to form the recessed portion 120, the recessed portion 120 is provided along the length direction of the front frame top beam 111, and the recessed portion 120 is formed by a bent back plate portion 124 and a bent bottom plate portion 125 formed by bending from the bent back plate portion 124.

[0066] When the recessed portion 120 is formed, it can also be formed by directly bending the front frame top beam 111. The bent recessed portion 120 extends from one end to the other end along the length direction of the front frame top beam 111.

[0067] The bent back plate section 124 is a bent back plate segment, and the bent bottom plate section 125 is a bent bottom plate segment. The bent back plate section 124 is arranged vertically, and the bent bottom plate segment is formed by bending 90 degrees from the bent back plate segment.

[0068] During installation, the marine communication antenna 200 and the land communication antenna 300 can be installed sequentially along the length of the recess 120.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the front frame top beam 111 includes an inclined portion 112.

[0070] The inclined portion 112 is an inclined surface formed at the top position of the front frame top beam 111, and the front frame top beam 111 also includes a front side surface 113 connected to the inclined surface at the front side position.

[0071] The mounting unit includes:

[0072] A first receiving portion 131 is recessed from the inclined portion 112 and is used to install the marine communication antenna 200.

[0073] The second mounting position 132 is formed on the inclined portion 112.

[0074] The first receiving part 131 is a first receiving slot for installing the marine communication antenna 200. Since the marine communication antenna 200 is larger than the land communication antenna 300, it is installed in the first receiving part 131 to avoid it exceeding the top surface and front side 113 of the upper corner piece 500.

[0075] The relatively small terrestrial communication antenna 300 can be fixed to the second mounting position 132 on the inclined surface by means of a support base.

[0076] The structure of directly mounting the terrestrial communication antenna 300 onto the inclined part 112 can also prevent water from accumulating at the location of the terrestrial antenna. If there is water, it will flow down along the inclined part 112.

[0077] By configuring the mounting structure as a first receiving part 131 and a second mounting position 132 arranged on the inclined part 112, it is applicable to the installation of medium-sized marine communication antennas 200 and land communication antennas 300.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, an installation notch is formed on the inclined portion 112;

[0079] A blocking component is provided at the installation gap, and the blocking component surrounds and forms the first receiving portion 131.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, the containment assembly includes a bending member 133 for sealing the rear side and bottom of the installation gap;

[0081] Two sealing members 134 connected to the bending member 133 are provided for sealing both sides of the installation notch. The bending member 133 and the sealing member 134 surround and form the first receiving part 131.

[0082] During installation, the bending member 133 has an inclined bending surface, which is parallel to the inclined portion 112, and the marine communication antenna 200 is mounted and fixed to the inclined bending surface.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, the front frame top beam 111 includes an inclined portion 112, and the mounting portion includes a third mounting position 141 formed on the inclined portion 112 for mounting a marine communication antenna 200 and a fourth mounting position (not shown in the figure) for mounting a land communication antenna 300.

[0084] The third mounting position 141 and the fourth mounting position (not shown in the figure) are located at the middle position of the top beam 111 of the front frame to ensure the strength of the received signal.

[0085] During assembly, the marine communication antenna 200 and the land communication antenna 300 can also be directly installed at their respective mounting positions. This installation method is simpler and more convenient. However, this method is suitable for installing smaller marine communication antennas 200 and land communication antennas 300. If a larger marine communication antenna 200 is installed, it may exceed the limit of the upper corner piece 500 and interfere with the upper corner piece 500.

[0086] Meanwhile, since both the marine communication antenna 200 and the land communication antenna 300 are mounted at the inclined part, this can effectively prevent water from accumulating at the antenna.

[0087] In some embodiments of this application, a waterproof connector 730 is provided at the mounting part. Two waterproof connectors 730 are provided and are respectively connected to the lead wires of the marine communication antenna 200 and the land communication antenna 300.

[0088] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by this utility model.
