[0051] In this document, terms such as “equal” and “same” are not strict mathematical and / or geometric limitations, but also include errors that are understandable to those skilled in the art and permissible in manufacturing or use.

[0052] Unless otherwise stated, the numerical ranges in this document include not only the entire range within its two endpoints, but also the subranges contained therein.

[0053] Figures 1 to 7A transport frame 100 according to the present invention is shown. The transport frame 100 includes a frame 100 and two end elevating components 130. The frame 100 includes a base frame 110 and two end frames 120. The two end frames 120 are arranged at both ends of the base frame 110 along the length direction D1 of the transport frame 100. The end frame 120 includes a corner post 121, a fixed top beam 123, and a top corner member 122. The corner post 121 extends along the height direction D3 of the transport frame 100 and is connected to the base frame 110. The top corner member 122 is disposed at the top of the corner post 121. The fixed top beam 123 extends along the width direction D2 of the transport frame 100 and is connected to the top corner member 122.

[0054] Two end-lifting components 130 are respectively disposed on two end frames 120. Each end-lifting component 130 includes a movable end beam 131, two corner connector boxes 132, and two corner twist locks 133. The movable end beam 131 extends along the width direction D2 and is positioned above the fixed top beam 123 along the height direction D3. The two corner connector boxes 132 are respectively disposed at both ends of the movable end beam 131. The two corner twist locks 133 are respectively disposed on the two corner connector boxes 132 and are used to connect the corner connector boxes 132 and the top corner brackets 122.

[0055] According to the present invention, the height of the transport frame 100 can be increased by the end heightening component 130, so that the transport frame 100 meets the height specification requirements of the shipping container, thereby enabling it to be stacked and locked with other shipping containers. As a result, the transport frame 100 according to the present invention can be transported together with standard shipping containers, reducing the transportation cost of the transport frame 100.

[0056] Understandably, similar to the structure of the top corner piece 122, the top and bottom surfaces of the corner piece connecting box 132 also have locking holes, thereby locking the top corner piece 122 together via the corner piece twist lock 133, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the end heightening assembly 130. The corner piece connecting box 132 can also be locked together with other shipping containers via the corner piece twist lock 133, enabling the stacking and shipping of the transport frame 100.

[0057] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure of frame 100 is described.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The base frame 110 includes two bottom side beams 111, four bottom corner pieces 113, two bottom end beams 112, and a floor 114. The two bottom side beams 111 are spaced apart along the width direction D2 of the transport frame 100 and extend along the length direction D1. The four bottom corner pieces 113 are respectively disposed at both ends of the two bottom side beams 111. The bottom end beams 112 extend along the width direction D2 of the transport frame 100 and are respectively disposed at both ends of the bottom side beams 111. The ends of the bottom end beams 112 and the ends of the bottom side beams 111 are connected to the bottom corner pieces 113. The floor 114 is disposed above the bottom side beams 111 along the height direction D3 and connected to the bottom side beams 111.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each end frame 120 includes two corner posts 121, two top corner pieces 122, an end wall plate 127, and a fixed top beam 123. The corner posts 121 extend along the height direction D3, and the bottom ends of the two corner posts 121 are respectively connected to the two bottom corner pieces 113 located at the same end of the bottom side beam 111. The two top corner pieces 122 are respectively connected to the top ends of the two corner posts 121. The fixed top beam 123 is disposed between the two top corner pieces 122, and both ends of the fixed top beam 123 are respectively connected to the two top corner pieces 122 along the width direction D2. The end wall plate 127 is disposed between the two corner posts 121, with both sides of the end wall plate 127 respectively connected to the two corner posts 121, the top edge of the end wall plate 127 connected to the fixed top beam 123, and the bottom edge of the end wall plate 127 connected to the bottom end beam 112.

[0060] The end frame 120 and the base frame 110 form a frame 100 with three openings (two sides and the top), which can be used to transport goods such as vehicles.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 The movable end beam 131 is spaced apart from the fixed top beam 123 along the height direction D3 of the transport frame 100, thereby ensuring that the transport frame 100 meets the standard height of a shipping container while reducing the size of the movable end beam 131, saving materials, and reducing the weight of the transport frame 100.

[0062] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the end heightening component 130 further includes a pad 134, which is connected to the movable end beam 131 and the fixed top beam 123, thereby connecting the movable end beam 131 and the fixed top beam 123. This allows the fixed top beam 123 to support the movable end beam 131, improving the structural strength of the transport frame 100. Optionally, the pad 134 can also be welded and fixed to both the movable end beam 131 and the fixed top beam 123, respectively. Figure 4As shown, the pad 134 can be pre-welded to the bottom surface of the movable end beam 131. After the corner connector box 132 and the top corner piece 122 are locked, the pad 134 and the fixed top beam 123 are then welded together.

A connecting boss 124 is provided on the side wall of the corner post 121 near the top side beam 141. The first connecting plate 142 is connected to the connecting boss 124 by fasteners 150, thereby connecting the top side beam 141 to the corner post 121, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the top side beam 141, and thus facilitating the installation of the transport frame 100 in a marine standard configuration.

[0065] Furthermore, in combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a nut 151 is provided inside the corner post 121. The nut 151 can be welded to the inner side wall of the corner post 121 near the connecting boss 124.
