[0002] The I-beam lifting assembly for transporting containers is a key component used for container lifting and transportation. It is connected to lifting equipment such as gantry cranes through lifting lugs, and uses the load-bearing capacity of the I-beam to lift the cargo inside the container, realizing the loading, unloading and transportation of cargo inside the container.

[0003] During the transportation and transshipment of containerized cargo, it is necessary to horizontally transfer the goods from one container to another. This is achieved by installing connectors on the I-beams to connect the I-beam assemblies of the two containers.

[0004] Considering that most of the connectors used for container cargo transfer in the existing technology are fixed structures, when the cargo is not being transported, the connectors need to be disassembled and placed in a designated location. This not only occupies extra space, but is also prone to swinging during container transportation due to shaking. This may cause damage by colliding with other components, and also pose a potential threat to the safety of operators. At the same time, it increases the instability factors in the transportation process. Therefore, it is proposed to use a hanging I-beam assembly for transporting containers to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a hoisting I-beam assembly for transporting containers, which aims to solve the problem that the connecting parts for container cargo transfer in the prior art are mostly fixed structures that need to be disassembled and placed when not in use. This not only occupies extra space, but is also prone to swinging and swaying during transportation, which may cause collisions and damage to parts, threaten the safety of operators, and increase the instability of transportation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a lifting I-beam assembly for transporting containers, comprising a container, a top frame fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the container, an I-beam fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the top frame, a connector hinged to the left side of the outer surface of the I-beam, an insert fixedly connected to the right side of the outer surface of the connector, the outer surface of the insert being inserted into the left side of the inner surface of the I-beam, the outer surface of the insert being fixedly connected to the left side of the inner surface of the I-beam by bolts, and a fixing assembly provided at the bottom of the outer surface of the I-beam;

[0007] The fixing component includes a fixing rope, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the I-beam. A fixing member is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the fixing rope. A hook is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the fixing member. A hanging ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the connecting member. The bottom of the outer surface of the hook is movably connected to the inner surface of the hanging ring.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] A connecting groove is provided on the left side of the outer surface of the connector, and a plug plate is inserted into the inner surface of the connecting groove. The outer surface of the plug plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner surface of the connector by bolts.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] An extension piece is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insert plate. The insert plate has two sets, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the extension piece.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a lifting I-beam assembly for transporting containers, including a container 1. A top frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the container 1, providing a stable installation foundation for the I-beam 5 and enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the top structure of the container 1. The bottom of the outer surface of the top frame 2 is fixedly connected to the I-beam 5, which has high strength and load-bearing capacity, providing structural support for the installation and deployment of the connector 6 and ensuring the stability of the lifting operation. The left side of the outer surface of the I-beam 5 is hinged to the connector 6, allowing the connector 6 to be flexibly rotated for easy retraction when not in use. The connector 6 is designed to be compact and space-saving, and can be quickly unfolded for use. A plug-in 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer surface of the connector 6. The plug-in 11 is a key component for connecting the connector 6 and the I-beam 5, providing a carrier for the precise docking of the two. The outer surface of the plug-in 11 is inserted into the left side of the inner surface of the I-beam 5. The plug-in engagement enables the connector 6 and the I-beam 5 to be quickly aligned, providing a precise installation foundation for subsequent fixing. The outer surface of the plug-in 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner surface of the I-beam 5 by bolts. The bolt fixing further strengthens the connection strength between the plug-in 11 and the I-beam 5, preventing loosening and falling off during use.

[0033] Reference Figures 3-4 , Figure 6 A fixing component 7 is provided at the bottom of the outer surface of the I-beam 5. The fixing component 7 is used to stably store the connector 6 when it is not in use, preventing the connector 6 from swinging freely during transportation. The fixing component 7 includes a fixing rope 701, which provides a connection fulcrum for the fixing component 702 and has a certain degree of elasticity and strength to adapt to the positional changes of the connector 6 when it is stored and unfolded. The top of the fixing rope 701 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the I-beam 5. The fixing component 702 serves as an intermediate structure connecting the fixing rope 701 and the hook 703, enhancing the connection stability. The fixing component 702 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the fixing rope 701. The fixing component 702 serves as an intermediate structure connecting the fixing rope 701 and the hook 703, enhancing connection stability. The bottom inner surface of the fixing component 702 is rotatably connected to the hook 703. The rotatable design of the hook 703 facilitates quick engagement or disengagement with the hanging ring 704, improving operational convenience. The bottom outer surface of the connector 6 is fixedly connected to the hanging ring 704, which provides a fulcrum for the hook 703, ensuring stable fixation of the connector 6 in its stored state. The bottom outer surface of the hook 703 is movably connected to the inner surface of the hanging ring 704. This movable connection design makes the engagement and disengagement of the hook 703 and the hanging ring 704 more flexible, facilitating quick switching of the connector 6's state.

[0034] Reference Figures 4-6A connecting groove 8 is provided on the left side of the outer surface of the connector 6. The connecting groove 8 provides a precise insertion space for the insert plate 10, ensuring that the connection position between the insert plate 10 and the connector 6 is accurate. The insert plate 10 is inserted into the inner surface of the connecting groove 8. The insert plate 10 cooperates with the connecting groove 8 through insertion to achieve the initial positioning of the expansion piece 9 and the connector 6, laying the foundation for subsequent fixation. The outer surface of the insert plate 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner surface of the connector 6 by bolts. The bolt fixation further improves the connection strength between the insert plate 10 and the connector 6, ensuring that the expansion piece 9 does not loosen when bearing weight.

[0035] Reference Figures 4-6 An extension piece 9 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insert plate 10. The extension piece 9 is connected to the connecting pieces 6 on both sides through the insert plate 10, realizing the structural connection between the two containers 1 and providing a channel support for cargo hoisting and transportation. There are two sets of insert plates 10, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the extension piece 9. The symmetrical arrangement of the two sets of insert plates 10 makes the force on both sides of the extension piece 9 even, avoiding excessive force on one side and structural deformation, and improving the overall stability. The connecting piece 6 is arc-shaped. The arc design can disperse the stress of the connecting piece 6 when bearing the load and avoid the effect of being blocked by the lintel of the container door 3. The bottom of the outer surface of the connecting piece 6 is provided with an anti-slip layer 12. The anti-slip layer 12 can increase the friction between the hoisting device and the bottom of the connecting piece 6, so that the hoisting device will not slip when moving along the bottom arc surface of the connecting piece 6.

[0036] Reference Figures 2-4 Two sets of I-beams 5 and connectors 6 are provided, symmetrically arranged on the bottom of the outer surface of the top frame 2. The symmetrical arrangement of the two sets balances the force on the top frame 2, avoids the tilting of the top structure of the container 1 due to unilateral force, and improves the load-bearing capacity of the overall hoisting device. The cross-sections of connectors 6 and extension parts 9 are both I-shaped, so that they can be consistent with the cross-section of I-beams 5, allowing the hoisting device to move along connectors 6 and extension parts 9. The outer surface of the container 1 is hinged with a door 3. The hinged design of the door 3 makes it easy to open and close, providing a channel for loading and unloading goods inside the container 1 and transferring goods between two containers 1.

[0037] Working principle: When it is necessary to transport goods from one container 1 to another container 1, first open the doors 3 of both containers 1, then release the hook 703 on the top of one container 1 from the bottom hanging ring 704 of the connector 6 to release the connector 6 from its retracted state. Then flip the connector 6 up so that the insert 11 on the connector 6 is inserted into the left side of the inner surface of the I-beam 5. Then fix the insert 11 to the left side of the inner surface of the I-beam 5 with bolts, so that the connector 6 is always in a parallel state. Then unfold the other set of connectors 6 on container 1 in the same way. Then insert the insert plate 10 on one side of the extension 9 into the left side of the inner surface of the connector 6 and fix it with bolts. Then unfold the two sets of connectors 6 on the other container 1 in the same way so that the extension 9 connects the connectors 6 on the two containers 1, so that the hoisting device can transport the goods in one container 1.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
