[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container house technology, and in particular to a foldable container house. Background Technology
[0002] Container houses, as a mobile and reusable building product, have been widely used in many fields such as temporary buildings, emergency disaster relief, construction site dormitories, and tourist accommodations in recent years. Based on standardized shipping containers, they have significant advantages such as fast construction speed, convenient transportation, and high space utilization. They can quickly meet diverse living and usage needs, effectively save time and labor costs, and can be recycled and reused after use, which is in line with the concept of green environmental protection.
[0003] With the increasing market demand for container houses and the diversification of application scenarios, traditional container houses have gradually revealed some limitations in transportation, storage and installation. Traditional container houses have a fixed structure, are large in size when not in use, have high transportation costs and occupy a lot of storage space. At the same time, their installation and dismantling process is relatively cumbersome, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but also requires nailing in many places on the wall panels. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of inconvenient transportation and assembly of existing container houses, and to propose a foldable container house. This container house, through its unique structural design, can be quickly folded and unfolded, significantly reducing transportation costs and storage space requirements, while also facilitating rapid installation and disassembly.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A folding container house includes a bottom frame and a top frame. A long strip is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bottom frame. A sliding column is slidably installed inside the long strip. Two limiting rings are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding column, and the two limiting rings are respectively close to both sides of the long strip. One end of the sliding column is fixedly connected to a column, and the other end of the column is connected to the top frame through a pulley mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom frame includes two parallel first long profiles and two parallel first short profiles, and the first long profiles and the first short profiles are connected by a first corner piece.
[0008] Preferably, the interior of the bottom frame is lined with load-bearing plates.
[0009] Preferably, the top frame includes two parallel second long profiles and two parallel second short profiles, and the second long profiles and the second short profiles are connected by a second corner piece.
[0010] Preferably, the top frame is fixedly fitted with a top skin by a locking tongue.
[0011] Preferably, a first receiving cavity is formed between the first long profile, the second long profile, and the two columns. A wall panel is provided in the first receiving cavity, and the wall panel is fixedly connected to the columns by wall panel fasteners.
[0012] Preferably, a second receiving cavity is formed between the first short profile, the second short profile, and the two columns, and a window panel is installed in each of the two second receiving cavities, and a door panel is installed in one of the second receiving cavities.
[0013] Preferably, the pulley mechanism includes an L-shaped component fixedly connected to the column and an elliptical component slidably connected to the second long profile. A double-hole connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the L-shaped component, and a T-shaped component is rotatably mounted on the other end of the double-hole connecting rod. A lower bearing and two upper bearings are installed between the T-shaped component and the elliptical component, and both the lower bearing and the upper bearings are slidably connected within the second long profile.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a foldable container house, which has the following beneficial effects.
[0015] 1. This utility model enables the column to be folded through the cooperation of the sliding column, the limiting ring, the long plate and the pulley mechanism. When the column is folded, the top frame moves downward, and at the same time, the T-shaped piece, the elliptical piece, the upper bearing and the lower bearing slide along the second long profile on the top frame, so that the entire device can be folded into a plate-shaped structure, thereby greatly reducing the volume of the container house and significantly reducing transportation costs and storage space requirements.
[0016] 2. This utility model uses wall panel fasteners to fix the wall panels without drilling holes, thus ensuring the integrity of the wall panels and eliminating the need for additional nails. It also makes the installation and disassembly of the wall panels more convenient, saving installation time and labor costs. The locking tongue not only facilitates the installation and disassembly of the top skin, but also ensures the reliability of the connection between the top skin and the top frame.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0029] Reference Figure 1-9 A foldable container house includes a bottom frame 1 and a top frame 2. The bottom frame 1 is formed by two parallel first long profiles and two parallel first short profiles connected by a first corner piece. The interior of the bottom frame 1 is lined with a load-bearing plate 4 to support the weight inside the container house.
[0030] The top frame 2 is formed by connecting two parallel second long profiles and two parallel second short profiles through a second top corner piece. The top frame 2 is fixedly installed with the top skin 5 through the locking tongue 19. The top skin 5 has a limiting groove adapted to the locking tongue 19. During installation, the locking tongue 19 can automatically insert into the limiting groove to achieve a fixed connection between the top skin 5 and the top frame 2.
[0031] A long strip plate 17 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bottom frame 1. A sliding column 15 is slidably installed inside the long strip plate 17. Two limiting rings 16 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding column 15. The two limiting rings 16 are respectively attached to both sides of the long strip plate 17 to prevent the sliding column 15 from detaching from the long strip plate 17 during the sliding process. One end of the sliding column 15 is fixedly connected to a column 3. The other end of the column 3 is connected to the top frame 2 through a pulley mechanism.
[0032] The pulley mechanism includes an L-shaped component 9 fixedly connected to the column 3. A double-hole connecting rod 10 is rotatably mounted on the L-shaped component 9. A T-shaped component 11 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the double-hole connecting rod 10. A lower bearing 14 and two upper bearings 13 are installed between the T-shaped component 11 and an elliptical component 12 slidably connected to the second long profile. The lower bearing 14 and the upper bearings 13 are slidably connected within the second long profile. When the container house needs to be folded, the top frame 2 is pushed downwards, and the T-shaped component 11, the elliptical component 12, the upper bearings 13, and the lower bearing 14 slide along the second long profile. At the same time, the double-hole connecting rod 10 rotates around the L-shaped component 9 and the T-shaped component 11, causing the column 3 to fold towards the bottom frame 1. The sliding column 15 slides within the long strip 17, and the limiting ring 16 ensures the stability of the sliding column 15. Before folding, the wall panel 6 is removed from the column 3 via the wall panel fastener 18 and placed on the bottom frame 1. Finally, the entire device is folded into a plate-like structure for easy transportation and storage.
[0033] When it is necessary to build a container house, first unfold the folding device, connect the column 3 to the top frame 2 through the pulley mechanism, slide the sliding column 15 in the long strip 17 to the appropriate position, then fix the wall panel 6 to the column 3 through the wall panel fastener 18. There is no need to drill holes in the wall panel 6, which is convenient and quick. Finally, fix the top skin 5 to the top frame 2 through the locking tongue 19 to complete the construction of the container house.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
