[0062] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the container body 110 is constructed to form a railway open-top container structure with an open top, which facilitates the dumping of bulk goods (such as coal, ore, etc.) into the container.
[0063] It is understood that the container 110 according to this utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned railway open-top container structure, but can also be a conventional 20-foot or 40-foot container 100, or other special containers 100, all of which should be within the protection scope of the container 110 of this utility model.
[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, the protective plate 140 is constructed as a continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite material. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite (CFRT) uses thermoplastic resin as the matrix and continuous fibers as the reinforcing material, formed through processes such as resin melt impregnation and extrusion. This results in CFRT possessing high strength, high rigidity, high toughness, and high wear resistance, thereby enhancing the protective performance of the protective layer and reducing wear and impact on the container side panels 112, container doors 122, and end wall panels 123 during loading and unloading of goods in the container 100.
[0065] Similarly, the protective panel 140 is constructed of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP). FRP is typically made of glass fiber or its products as reinforcing materials, combined with matrix materials such as unsaturated polyester, epoxy resin, or phenolic resin. This gives FRP high strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance, and high wear resistance, thereby enhancing the protective performance of the protective layer and reducing wear and impact on the side panels 112, doors 122, and end wall panels 123 of the container 100 during loading and unloading.
[0066] In addition, the protective plate 140 can also be made of wood, which has good wear resistance and strong impact resistance, thereby reducing the wear and impact on the side plate 112, door 122 and end wall plate 123 of the container 100 when loading and unloading goods.
[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the positioning element 150 is disposed on the side panel 112 of the container, and the protective plate 140 is connected to the positioning element 150 by fasteners 170. This ensures a stable connection between the protective plate 140 and the side panel 112, and also enhances the structural strength of the side panel 112. Furthermore, the fasteners 170 connect the protective plate 140 to the positioning element 150, simplifying operation, facilitating replacement of the protective plate 140, and aiding in the maintenance of the container 100.
[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, the positioning member 150 may also be provided on the end component 113 (e.g., the door 122 and the end wall plate 123), thereby enhancing the connection stability between the protective plate 140 and the door 122 and the end wall plate 123 respectively, and also enhancing the structural strength of the door 122 and the end wall plate 123.
[0069] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figures 3 to 5 The positioning element 150 located on the side panel 112 extends along the length direction D1 of the container 100 to the corner post 114, thereby further connecting the side panel 112 and the corner post 114 and further strengthening the structural strength of the side panel 112. Additionally, it also connects the protective plate 140 to the corner post 114, enhancing the connection stability between the protective plate 140 and the container body 110. Furthermore, the fasteners 170 used to connect the protective plate 140 and the positioning element 150 are arranged at intervals along the length direction D1, resulting in multiple connections between the protective plate 140 and the positioning element 150 along the length direction D1, further improving the connection stability between the protective plate 140 and the side panel 112, thus making the internal protection of the container 100 according to this utility model stronger.
[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, the positioning elements 150 on the side panel 112, the door 122, and the end wall panel 123 can also be arranged at intervals along the height direction D3 of the container 100, thereby making the connection between the protective plate 140 and the container body 110 more stable and enhancing the internal protection performance of the container 100.
[0071] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the protective plate 140 of the side panel 112 of the container body 110, which is located on at least one side, is provided with a positioning groove 141 on the side near the positioning member 150. The protective plate 140 is connected to the side panel 112 through the cooperation of the positioning groove 141 and the positioning member 150, thereby enhancing the limiting of the protective plate 140 and the side panel 112 along the height direction D3 of the container 100, further enhancing the connection strength between the protective plate 140 and the side panel 112, and especially enhancing the performance of the protective plate 140 in resisting cargo impact along the height direction D3.
[0072] In addition, refer to Figure 5 The protective plate 140 of the box side plate 112 located on at least one side of the box body 110 can also be directly connected to the positioning member 150 by fastener 170 without the positioning groove 141, which is convenient for installation and has low manufacturing cost.
[0073] In some embodiments of this utility model, a positioning groove 141 may also be provided on the side of the protective plate 140 of the container door 122 or end wall panel 123 of the container body 110 near the positioning member 150. The protective plate 140 is connected to the container door 122 or end wall panel 123 through the cooperation of the positioning groove 141 and the positioning member 150, thereby enhancing the limiting of the protective plate 140 and the container door 122 or end wall panel 123 along the height direction D3 of the container 100, further enhancing the connection strength between the protective plate 140 and the container door 122 or end wall panel 123, and especially enhancing the performance of the protective plate 140 in resisting cargo impact along the height direction D3.
[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, the positioning element 150 can be made of flat iron, which has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost. Furthermore, the positioning element 150 and the protective plate 140 can be connected by rivets or fastening screws, resulting in a stable structure and easy installation.
[0075] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 6Along the height direction D3 of the container 100, the top of the protective plate 140 extends to the top frame 117, and the bottom of the protective plate 140 is spaced apart from the bottom frame 111, thus providing space for some components for connecting and securing cargo in the inner bottom position of the container 100. Furthermore, for the protective plate 140 on the side panel 112, the top of the protective plate 140 connects to the bottom surface of the top longitudinal beam 120, and the bottom of the protective plate 140 is spaced apart from the bottom longitudinal beam 118. This allows the protective plate 140 to cover most of the inner surface of the side panel 112, while also providing space for some components for connecting and securing cargo in the inner bottom position of the container 100. Similarly, for the protective plate 140 on the end wall panel 123, the top of the protective plate 140 connects to the bottom surface of the top beam 121, and the bottom of the protective plate 140 is spaced apart from the bottom end beam 119.

[0077] In some embodiments of this utility model, the box 110 is provided with a discharge port (not shown in the figure). The discharge port is located on the side plate 112, end wall plate 123 or box door 122, and the discharge port is located in the gap between the protective plate 140 and the base frame 111 along the height direction D3, so as to facilitate the discharge of bulk goods in the box 110.
[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The container 100 also includes a second rope loop 161, which is disposed on the top frame 117 and arranged along the width direction D2 of the container 100 on the side of the protective plate 140 near the inside of the container body 110. This ensures that the protective plate 140 does not affect the arrangement of the second rope loop 161, facilitating the binding and securing of goods inside the container body 110. Specifically, the second rope loop 161 is connected to the bottom surface of the bottom longitudinal beam 118 or the bottom end beam 119.
