[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-8 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0028] Example 1, see Figures 1-8 A medium-sized metal frame for a modular bulk container includes a medium-sized metal frame body 1, a base 2 disposed below the medium-sized metal frame body 1, an adjusting member 11, and connecting rods 12 disposed at both ends of the adjusting member 11, and a connecting member 13 disposed between the adjusting member 11 and the connecting rods 12; the adjusting member 11 is provided in several groups; the adjusting member 11 includes a first rod cylinder 111, a second rod cylinder 112 disposed at one end of the first rod cylinder 111, a third rod cylinder 113 disposed at the end of the second rod cylinder 112 away from the first rod cylinder 111, and a fastening member 3 sleeved between the first rod cylinder 111 and the second rod cylinder 112, and between the second rod cylinder 112 and the third rod cylinder 113.
[0029] The diameters of the first tube 111, the second tube 112, and the third tube 113 decrease sequentially. The end of the second tube 112 that is away from the third tube 113 is inserted into the first tube 111, and the end of the third tube 113 is inserted into the second tube 112.
[0030] The adjusting component 11 is designed to adjust the vertical height of the medium-sized metal frame body 1, allowing the medium-sized metal frame body 1 to be adjusted according to the warehouse height and the height occupied by the inner container. This improves the practicality and flexibility of the medium-sized metal frame body 1, making it easier to adapt to different warehouse storage environments, meet diverse storage needs, improve warehouse space utilization, and reduce warehousing costs. It also facilitates flexible cargo handling and storage operations between inner containers of different heights, enhancing the operational efficiency and convenience of the entire warehousing and logistics system.
[0031] The function of the connecting rod 12 is to provide a solid storage space for the inner container, so that the inner container can be stably placed inside the medium-sized metal frame body 1, avoiding instability such as tipping or sliding caused by external forces or its own weight, thereby ensuring the safety of the items inside the inner container, and also providing a more reliable guarantee for warehousing operations.
[0032] The connector 13 is used to combine and splice the adjusting component 11 and the connecting rod 12 according to actual needs. This flexible combination method allows the medium-sized metal frame body 1 to adapt to inner containers of different heights, shapes, and weights, thereby improving the practicality and flexibility of the medium-sized metal frame body 1. It can quickly adjust the structure and size of the frame according to the specific spatial layout and storage requirements of the warehouse, achieving efficient space utilization.
[0033] The first tube 111, the second tube 112, and the third tube 113 are all hollow structures. When the height of the entire medium-sized metal frame body 1 needs to be adjusted, the third tube 113 can be retracted into the second tube 112, and the second tube 112 can be retracted into the first tube 111 for height adjustment. This allows the medium-sized metal frame body 1 to adjust its occupied space according to the height of the warehouse and the height occupied by the inner container, thereby improving the practicality and flexibility of the medium-sized metal frame body 1.
[0034] The function of the fastener 3 is to lock the sliding connection between the first rod cylinder 111 and the second rod cylinder 112, and the sliding connection between the second rod cylinder 112 and the third rod cylinder 113, so that the distance between the first rod cylinder 111 and the second rod cylinder 112 can be stably maintained in the adjusted state and will not change unexpectedly due to external forces or vibrations, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the entire medium-sized metal frame body 1 in the height direction; similarly, the distance between the second rod cylinder 112 and the third rod cylinder 113 can also be stably maintained in the adjusted state.
[0035] See Figures 1-7 Furthermore, a first groove 114 is provided on the side wall of the first rod cylinder 111, a second groove 115 is provided on the side wall of the second rod cylinder 112, and a third groove 116 is provided on the side wall of the third rod cylinder 113. The first groove 114, the second groove 115, and the third groove 116 are aligned and distributed. A first cutting groove 117 is also provided in the first groove 114, and a second cutting groove 118 is also provided in the second groove 115.
[0036] The design of the first groove 114, the second groove 115, and the third groove 116, with their aligned distribution, precisely restricts the relative movement between the rods, preventing the first rod 111, the second rod 112, and the third rod 113 from rotating in a circular motion during vertical height adjustment. If this rotation is not restricted, it may lead to unstable connections between the rods, or even loosening or misalignment, thereby affecting the structural stability and adjustment accuracy of the entire medium-sized metal frame body 1.
[0037] See Figures 1-7Furthermore, the fastening component 3 includes a sleeve 31, a rotating plate 32 disposed on one side of the sleeve 31, and a pressing block 33 disposed inside the sleeve 31; the sleeve 31 can be sleeved between the first rod cylinder 111 and the second rod cylinder 112, and between the second rod cylinder 112 and the third rod cylinder 113; a through groove 34 is provided on the side wall of the sleeve 31, which can communicate with the sleeve 31; one end of the rotating plate 32 can be eccentrically rotated and connected to the inner wall of the through groove 34; pins 35 are also symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 31, and insertion holes 331 are symmetrically provided on the side wall of the pressing block 33, which can be inserted into the corresponding pins 35.
[0038] When the distance between the first rod cylinder 111 and the second rod cylinder 112 has slid, the rotating plate 32 is manually turned so that it rotates eccentrically and presses the pressing block 33. The pressing block 33 engages with the second groove 115 through the first slot 117 and applies pressure to the second rod cylinder 112, so that the outer wall of the second rod cylinder 112 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the first rod cylinder 111. During this process, the pin 35 will move within the insertion hole 331, thereby achieving the purpose of locking. This ensures that the distance between the first rod cylinder 111 and the second rod cylinder 112 can be stably maintained in the adjusted state and will not change unexpectedly due to external forces or vibrations, thus ensuring the structural stability of the entire medium-sized metal frame body 1 in the height direction.
[0039] Similarly, the distance between the second cylinder 112 and the third cylinder 113 can also be stably maintained in the adjusted state, and the locking method between the second cylinder 112 and the third cylinder 113 is the same as described above.
[0040] Example 2, see Figure 8 Furthermore, the connecting rod 12 includes a main rod 121 and a secondary rod 122, with two main rods 121 and two secondary rods 122 arranged in a square shape.
[0041] See Figure 8 Furthermore, the connector 13 includes a spatial tee pipe 131 and a T-shaped tee pipe 132; there are several spatial tee pipes 131 and T-shaped tee pipes 132. The end of the first rod cylinder 111 away from the second rod cylinder 112 is connected to the outer wall of one set of connecting rods 12 through the T-shaped tee pipe 132, and the end of the third rod cylinder 113 away from the second rod cylinder 112 is connected to the outer wall of another set of connecting rods 12 through the T-shaped tee pipe 132; the main rod 121 and the auxiliary rod 122 are connected by the spatial tee pipe 131, and the end of the corresponding first rod cylinder 111 away from the second rod cylinder 112 is connected to the outer wall of one set of connecting rods 12 through the spatial tee pipe 131, and the end of the corresponding third rod cylinder 113 away from the second rod cylinder 112 is connected to the outer wall of another set of connecting rods 12 through the spatial tee pipe 131.
[0042] The lengths of the main rod 121 and the auxiliary rod 122 can be selected according to actual needs without affecting the splicing of the metal frame body 1.
[0043] Through the cooperation of the space tee pipe 131 and the T-shaped tee pipe 132, the adjusting component 11 and the connecting rod 12 can be combined and spliced. This flexible combination method allows the medium-sized metal frame body 1 to adapt to inner containers of different heights, shapes, and weights, thereby improving the practicality and flexibility of the medium-sized metal frame body 1. It can quickly adjust the structure and size of the frame according to the specific spatial layout and storage requirements of the warehouse, achieving efficient space utilization.
[0044] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
