Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, specifically to a vehicle transport box. Background Technology

[0002] Containers used for transporting vehicles often require an upper platform located above the underframe; double-layer transport can improve transportation efficiency. To facilitate loading and unloading of the transported vehicles, a ramp-like loading platform is also provided between the ground and the underframe.

[0003] However, existing transport containers typically have a fixed structure, making them difficult to adjust to actual needs and lacking flexibility. This results in inconvenience and inefficiency when loading and unloading vehicles of different sizes and weights, and makes it difficult to find suitable cargo for the return trip, leading to low space utilization. Furthermore, transport containers also occupy a large amount of space.

[0004] Therefore, a transport container is needed to at least partially solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0009] The upper platform and the support legs are connected to the top of the base frame via the support legs. The upper platform can move relative to the base frame between a transport position and an empty position. When the upper platform is in the transport position, the upper platform and the base frame are spaced apart in the vertical direction. When the upper platform is in the empty position, the upper platform is stacked on the base frame.

[0010] The support leg includes a first support leg and a second support leg. In the length direction of the frame, the first support leg is connected between the end of the upper platform away from the end frame and the base frame, and the second support leg is connected between the end of the upper platform near the end frame and the base frame.

[0011] In the vertical direction, the heights of the first and second legs can be adjusted relatively independently, so that the upper platform can move between the vehicle transport position and the empty position;

[0012] The loading platform is rotatably connected to the end of the base frame in the length direction of the frame. The loading platform is rotatable about the side of the base frame extending in the width direction of the frame, and can rotate between a position folded onto the base frame and a position flipped out of the base frame.

[0013] Optionally, the first leg includes a first part and a second part;

[0014] One end of both the first part and the second part is pivotally connected to the upper platform; the other end of both the first part and the second part is movably connected to the base frame along the length of the frame, and along the length of the frame, the end of the first part connected to the base frame and the end of the second part connected to the base frame can move closer to or further away from each other.

[0015] Optionally, the base frame is provided with a slide rail extending along the length of the frame and a support that slides in cooperation with the slide rail;

[0016] The ends of the first and second portions away from the upper platform are respectively hinged to one of the supports.

[0018] Optionally, the first leg is connected to the upper platform via a pivot, and the first portion and the second portion are connected to the upper platform via the same pivot; or,

[0019] The first leg is connected to the upper platform via a connecting plate, which is fixed to the upper platform. The ends of the first part and the second part away from the base frame are rotatably connected to the connecting plate.

[0020] Optionally, the second leg is configured to be retractable in the vertical direction.

[0021] Optionally, the second leg is pivotally connected to the upper platform, and the second leg is detachably connected to the base frame.

[0022] Optionally, the end frame includes a post, which is telescopic along its own extending direction; and / or,

[0023] The base frame is equipped with a locking device for securing the end frame in the folded position.

[0024] Optionally, the base frame is provided with multiple fork slots, which extend through the base frame along the length and width directions of the frame.

[0025] Optionally, along the length of the frame, two upper platforms are provided above the base frame, the two upper platforms are spaced apart by a predetermined distance, and are substantially symmetrical about the central vertical plane of the side of the base frame extending in the length of the frame;

[0026] Each of the upper platforms is connected to two first legs and two second legs. The two first legs are respectively connected to both sides of the upper platform along the width direction of the frame, and the two second legs are respectively connected to both sides of the upper platform along the width direction of the frame.

[0027] According to this utility model, the heights of the first and second legs of the upper platform of the vehicle carrier can be adjusted relatively independently, accommodating various vehicle models. This makes it easier to match with suitable vehicles on the return trip and facilitates vehicle loading and unloading. For example, when loading a vehicle onto the upper platform of the vehicle carrier, the first leg can be adjusted to a predetermined height, with the end of the upper platform near the end frame supported on the base frame. This allows the vehicle to easily drive from the loading platform and base frame onto the upper platform. Then, the second leg can be adjusted to a predetermined height to complete the loading of the upper platform. Furthermore, the upper platform can be stacked on the base frame, and the end frame and loading platform can be folded onto the base frame, allowing the entire vehicle carrier frame to be folded to a smaller size in height. Multiple vehicle carriers can be stacked on the return trip, resulting in high space utilization. Attached Figure Description

[0065] This utility model provides a vehicle transport box that can be used to transport goods such as automobiles.

[0066] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, the transport container 100 includes a frame of standard container dimensions. For example, the frame has a length dimension of 12192 mm and a width dimension of 2438 mm. The frame includes a base frame 10 and two end frames 40 connected to the base frame 10. The two end frames 40 are located at opposite ends of the base frame 10 along the length direction D1 of the frame, and either end frame 40 can be in an upright position relative to the base frame 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 End frame 40 shown on the right side of the middle section) and folding position (as shown in the image) Figure 1 Rotate between the end frame 40 shown on the left side of the middle section.

[0068] The vehicle carrier 100 also includes an upper platform 20 and support legs. The upper platform 20 is connected to the upper part of the base frame 10 via the support legs. Both the upper platform 20 and the base frame 10 can be used to load goods such as automobiles. The upper platform 20 can move relative to the base frame 10 between a vehicle-carrying position and an empty position. When the upper platform 20 is in the vehicle-carrying position, such as... Figure 1 As shown on the right, the upper platform 20 and the base frame 10 are vertically spaced apart. When the upper platform 20 is in the unloaded position, as... Figure 1 As shown on the left, the upper platform 20 is stacked on the base frame 10.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, the support leg includes a first support leg 31 and a second support leg 32. In the length direction D1 of the frame, the first support leg 31 is connected between the end of the upper platform 20 away from the end frame 40 and the base frame 10, and the second support leg 32 is connected between the end of the upper platform 20 near the end frame 40 and the base frame 10.

[0070] It should be noted that the connection of legs 31 and 32 to one end of the upper platform 20 is not limited to the end face of legs 31 and 32 connected to the upper platform 20, but also includes the portion of the structure extending from one end towards the middle of the upper platform 20. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the legs 31 and 32 are connected to the outer edge of the upper platform 20 and the connection point is a certain distance from the end face.

[0071] In the vertical direction, the height of the first leg 31 and the second leg 32 (i.e. the support height for the upper platform 20) can be adjusted relatively independently so that the upper platform 20 can move between the vehicle transport position and the empty position.

[0072] To facilitate loading and unloading, the transport container 100 also includes a loading platform 50, which is rotatably connected to the end of the underframe 10 along the length direction D1 of the frame. The loading platform 50 can be positioned with the side of the underframe 10 extending along the width direction D2 of the frame as an axis, in a position folded onto the underframe 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The position shown on the left-hand upper platform 50) and the position flipped outside the base frame 10 (as shown in the image). Figure 3 The loading platform 50 can rotate between the positions shown. When the loading platform 50 is in a position tilted outside the underframe 10, the transported goods (e.g., automobiles) can be transferred between the loading platform 50 and the ground and the underframe 10.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, when loading a vehicle onto the upper platform 20 of the transport box 100, the first outrigger 31 can be adjusted to a predetermined height, and the end of the upper platform 20 near the end frame 40 is supported on the base frame 10, creating a gentle slope for the upper platform 20 on the base frame 10. For example, the tilt angle of the upper platform 20 relative to the base frame 10 is 16°. This allows the vehicle to easily drive from the loading platform 50 and the base frame 10 onto the upper platform 20. Then, the second outrigger 32 is adjusted to a predetermined height, completing the loading of the upper platform 20. The lower platform (base frame 10) can then be loaded. Unloading is performed by reversing the loading steps.

[0074] According to the present invention, the height of the first leg 31 and the second leg 32 of the upper platform 20 can be adjusted relatively independently, for example, so that the upper platform 20 can be stacked on the base frame 10, which also facilitates loading and unloading of goods. At the same time, the end frame 40 and the loading platform 50 can also be folded on the base frame 10, so that the entire frame of the transport box 100 can be folded to a smaller size in height, and multiple transport boxes 100 can be stacked during the return trip, resulting in high space utilization.

[0075] Please return to the reference. Figure 1 Along the length direction D1 of the frame, two upper platforms 20 are provided above the base frame 10. The two upper platforms 20 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance and are arranged substantially symmetrically about the central vertical plane of the side of the base frame 10 extending along the length direction D1 of the frame. In other words, viewed along the width direction D2 of the frame, the two upper platforms 20 are substantially symmetrical from left to right, and the distance between the left upper platform 20 and the left end frame 40 is approximately equal to the distance between the right upper platform 20 and the right end frame 40. Therefore, the transport box 100 can carry four cars and can be loaded and unloaded simultaneously from both ends, resulting in high transportation and loading / unloading efficiency.

[0076] Each upper platform 20 is connected to two first legs 31 and two second legs 32. The two first legs 31 are respectively connected to both sides of the upper platform 20 along the width direction D2 of the frame, and the two second legs 32 are respectively connected to both sides of the upper platform 20 along the width direction D2 of the frame. According to this support method, the legs provide stable support for the upper platform 20, and the height of both ends of the upper platform 20 can be adjusted separately.

[0077] The preferred embodiments of the specific structures of the first leg 31 and the second leg 32 will be described in detail below.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, the first support leg 31 includes a first part 31a and a second part 31b. One end of both the first part 31a and the second part 31b is pivotally connected to the upper platform 20. The other ends of both the first part 31a and the second part 31b are movably connected to the base frame 10 along the length direction D1 of the frame. Furthermore, along the length direction D1 of the frame, the ends of the first part 31a and the second part 31b connected to the base frame 10 can move closer to or further away from each other. Thus, the first part 31a, the second part 31b, and the slide rail 13 form a stable triangular structure, providing stable support for the upper platform 20. By moving the positions of the first part 31a and the second part 31b on the slide rail 13, allowing the ends of the first part 31a and the second part 31b connected to the base frame 10 to move closer to or further away from each other, the support height for the upper platform 20 can be adjusted.

[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first leg 31 is connected to the upper platform 20 via a first pivot 33, and the first part 31a and the second part 31b are connected to the upper platform 20 via the same pivot.

[0080] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first support leg 31 is connected to the upper platform 20 via a connecting plate 34, which is fixed to the upper platform 20. The ends of the first part 31a and the second part 31b, away from the base frame 10, are rotatably connected to the connecting plate 34. Specifically, the first part 31a and the second part 31b are connected to the upper platform 20 via their respective first pivot axes 33, which are adjacent to each other. Thus, even when the ends of the first part 31a and the second part 31b connected to the base frame 10 are close to each other, they will not interfere with each other. Furthermore, the connecting plate 34 strengthens the structural integrity of the connection between the upper platform 20 and the support leg.

[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, the base frame 10 is provided with a slide rail 13 extending along the length direction D1 of the frame and a support 14 that slides with the slide rail 13. For example, the base frame 10 includes a bottom side beam 11, which extends along the length direction D1 of the frame. The two bottom side beams 11 are located on both sides of the base frame 10 in the width direction D2 of the frame, and the slide rail 13 can be provided on the bottom side beam 11.

[0082] The ends of the first portion 31a and the second portion 31b furthest from the upper platform 20 are each hinged to a support 14. The support 14 is movable along a slide rail 13, thereby adjusting the position of the first portion 31a and the second portion 31b connected to the base frame 10. For example, the ends of the first portion 31a and the second portion 31b connected to the base frame 10 can both move in the same direction, allowing the legs to accommodate upper platforms 20 of different sizes. For example, the ends of the first portion 31a and the second portion 31b connected to the base frame 10 can move closer to or further away from each other, allowing the support height of the upper platform 20 to be adjusted. The slide rail 13 is long enough that the ends of the first portion 31a and the second portion 31b connected to the base frame 10 can move further away from each other until the upper platform 20 can be stacked on the base frame 10.

[0083] To fix the first support leg 31 in its position after it has been adjusted on the slide rail 13, a limiting structure 15 is provided between the support 14 and the slide rail 13 to restrict the movement of the first support leg 31. For example, the slide rail 13 has multiple pin holes spaced apart along the length D1 of the frame, and the support 14 has at least one pin hole. By passing pins or bolts through the pin holes of the slide rail 13 and the support 14, the position of the first support leg 31 on the slide rail 13 can be fixed.

[0084] like Figure 6 As shown, the second support leg 32 is designed to be vertically retractable to adjust the support height of the upper platform 20 and to occupy less space when the upper platform 20 is in an unloaded position. For example, the second support leg 32 includes an inner support column 32a and an outer sleeve 32b that are nested together. The inner support column 32a is movable relative to the outer sleeve 32b along its own axis within the outer sleeve 32b. The inner support column 32a and / or the outer sleeve 32b are provided with multiple pin holes spaced apart in their extending direction. The inner support column 32a is fixed relative to the outer sleeve 32b by pins or other fasteners, thereby adjusting the different support heights of the second support leg 32 on the upper platform 20. Of course, the second support leg 32 can also be configured with other retractable structures.

[0085] Preferably, the second leg 32 is pivotally connected to the upper platform 20, and the second leg 32 is detachably connected to the base frame 10. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the second leg 32 is pivotally connected to the upper platform 20 via a second pivot shaft 35. Figure 2 As shown, the base frame 10 is equipped with a connecting seat 12, and the second leg 32 is detachably connected to the connecting seat 12. Therefore, after the connection between the second leg 32 and the base frame 10 is disassembled, the second leg 32 pivots around the connecting axis to the upper platform 20 and is stored to one side of the upper platform 20, allowing the upper platform 20 to be stacked on the base frame 10. The second leg 32 in this design is easy to install, disassemble, and store.

[0086] The first leg 31 and the second leg 32 can be adjusted to multiple different heights relatively independently. That is, the height of both ends of the upper platform 20 can be adjusted to multiple different heights relatively independently, so that the upper platform 20 has multiple heights and inclinations relative to the chassis 10 when in the vehicle transport position, which can adapt to different vehicle models.

[0087] In some specific embodiments of the transport container 100, the end frame 40 includes a column 41 that is telescopic along its extension direction. Thus, the end frame 40 allows the transport container 100 to have an adjustable height and occupies less space when pivoted to the folded position. Preferably, the base frame 10 is provided with a locking device 16 for securing the end frame 40 in the folded position. For example, the locking device 16 is a spring pin that can be inserted into an opening at the pivot end of the column 41.

[0088] Optionally, the base frame 10 has multiple fork slots 17, which extend through the base frame 10 along its length and width. This facilitates the handling of the transport container 100. For example, the folded transport container 100 can be stacked using a forklift, or the transport container 100 loaded with goods can be moved.

[0089] Unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein is for descriptive purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Features described in one embodiment may be applied, alone or in combination with other features, to another embodiment, unless that feature is not applicable in that other embodiment or is otherwise stated.

[0090] This utility model has been described through the above embodiments. However, it should be understood that the above embodiments are only for illustrative purposes. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Many variations and modifications can be made based on the teachings of this utility model, and all such variations and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
