Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, specifically to a column sliding support structure and a side-opening container. Background Technology

[0002] Due to limitations on the size of cargo, side curtain boxes or side-opening frame containers are often used for cargo transportation. These containers eliminate the steel side panels of traditional containers, and the top and bottom side beams lack robust support, weakening the overall side strength of the container. This makes them highly susceptible to deformation of the side beams or damage to internal equipment in the event of a top or side impact. Therefore, uprights are often designed on the sides to enhance the overall strength of the side beams.

[0003] Currently, the support columns of side curtain boxes or side-opening frame containers are mostly connected by bolts or other rigid fixing methods. The disassembly and assembly process is relatively cumbersome, and the support columns cannot be moved or their support position cannot be adjusted, which may hinder the loading and unloading of goods. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a column sliding support structure and a side-opening container. The column sliding support structure of this application can slide to adjust its support position on the side beam of the measuring container, and can facilitate the loading of goods, avoiding the column sliding support structure from affecting or hindering the loading of goods.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a column sliding support structure, comprising: a top guide rail, which includes a downward-opening guide cavity, the guide cavity having two guide grooves; a roller assembly, which is clearance-fitted into the top guide rail; the roller assembly including two rollers, the two rollers respectively corresponding to the two guide grooves; a top column, which is connected to the bottom of the roller assembly; a bottom column, which is connected to the bottom of the top column, and the connection height of the bottom column on the top column is adjustable; and a bottom support groove, which is located below the bottom column and is used to support the bottom column.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom column is provided with a support limiting hole and a sliding limiting hole, the support limiting hole being located above the sliding limiting hole; the top column is provided with a connecting cavity, the support limiting hole and the sliding limiting hole being respectively corresponding to the connecting cavity.

[0007] Preferably, when the support limiting hole and the connecting cavity are connected with a limiting pin, the tops of the two rollers abut against the top of the guide cavity, and the bottom of the bottom column abuts against the bottom support groove.

[0008] Preferably, when the sliding limiting hole and the connecting cavity are connected with a limiting pin, the two rollers can be slidably engaged in the two guide grooves respectively, and the bottom column is disengaged from the bottom support groove.

[0009] Preferably, the two rollers are connected by a support member, which is located on top of the top column.

[0010] Preferably, the support includes a vertical support rod, and two rollers are respectively connected to both sides of the vertical support rod; the vertical support rod extends from the bottom opening of the guide cavity and is vertically connected to a horizontal support rod, and the horizontal support rod is fixed to the top of the top column.

[0011] Preferably, the outer side of the bottom wall of the two guide grooves is provided with a plurality of protruding limiting blocks, and the distance between two adjacent limiting blocks on the guide groove is greater than or equal to the length of the transverse support rod.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the bottom column is provided with a guide rod, which corresponds to the bottom support groove.

[0013] This application also discloses a side-opening container, including a top side beam and a bottom side beam, and further including the aforementioned column sliding support structure; the top guide rail is connected to the bottom surface of the top side beam, and the bottom support groove is disposed on the bottom side beam.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The column sliding support structure of this application can be in a supported state and a sliding state. When the column sliding support structure of this application is in the supported state, it can support the side beam of the side-opening container. When the column sliding support structure of this application is in the sliding state, the column sliding support structure can slide to the required position and / or the end of the side beam, so as to adjust the support position of the column sliding support structure on the side beam, and facilitate the loading of goods, avoiding the column sliding support structure from affecting or hindering the loading of goods.

[0016] The sliding support structure of this application includes a top column and a bottom column. A roller assembly allows the top and bottom columns to slide along the top side beam, thereby adjusting the support position of the sliding support structure on the side beam. The sliding support structure is not fixedly connected between the top and bottom side beams; its support position on the side beam is adjustable. When loading or unloading goods, the sliding support structure can be slid to the far end of the side beam to provide ample open space, facilitating loading and unloading and preventing the structure from obstructing the process. After loading and unloading, the sliding support structure can be slid to the desired position to effectively support the side beam.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1-11 As shown, this utility model discloses a column sliding support structure, including a top guide rail, a roller assembly, a top column 31, a bottom column 32 and a bottom support groove 30 arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0027] like Figure 10 As shown, the top guide rail is a single piece, including a first guide plate 11, and two second guide plates 12 are respectively vertically arranged on both sides of the first guide plate 11. The first guide plate 11 and the two second guide plates 12 form a guide cavity 13 with the opening facing downward.

[0028] The bottom of each of the two second guide plates 12 is vertically provided with a third guide plate 14. The two third guide plates 14 are arranged opposite each other and spaced apart to form the bottom opening of the guide cavity 13.

[0029] The end of the third guide plate 14 bends upward and extends. The third guide plate 14 and the second guide plate 12 form a guide groove 15. The two guide grooves 15 are symmetrically arranged in the guide cavity 13.

[0030] like Figure 11 As shown, the roller assembly includes two rollers 21, which are connected by a support member located on top of the top column 31.

[0031] Specifically, the support component is a single piece, comprising a vertically arranged vertical support rod 22 and a horizontal support rod 23. Two rollers 21 are rotatably connected to both sides of the vertical support rod 22, and the rotatable connection method can be a common method in this technical field, without specific limitations.

[0032] The roller assembly is fitted with a clearance within the guide cavity 13, wherein two rollers 21 correspond to two guide grooves 15 respectively. The vertical support rod 22 extends from the bottom opening of the guide cavity 13 and is vertically connected to the horizontal support rod 23. The horizontal support rod 23 is fixed to the top of the top column 31. The fixing method can be a common method in this technical field and is not specifically limited here.

[0033] The bottom column 32 has an upward-opening cavity, and the top column 31 is inserted into the cavity of the bottom column 32. The bottom column 32 can move up and down relative to the top column 31. The connection height of the bottom column 32 to the top column 31 is adjustable, thereby adjusting the state of the column sliding support structure of this application.

[0034] Specifically, the top column 31 has a connecting cavity (not shown in the figure), which extends through the top column 31 and the axis of the connecting cavity is perpendicular to the axis of the top column 31.

[0035] The bottom column 32 is provided with a support limiting hole 33 and a sliding limiting hole 34. The support limiting hole 33 is located above the sliding limiting hole 34. The axial directions of both the support limiting hole 33 and the sliding limiting hole 34 are perpendicular to the axial direction of the bottom column 32. Both the support limiting hole 33 and the sliding limiting hole 34 are provided through the bottom column 32.

[0036] By moving the bottom column 32 up and down, the support limiting hole 33 and the sliding limiting hole 34 can respectively correspond to the connecting cavity. When the support limiting hole 33 corresponds to the connecting cavity, and a limiting pin 35 is connected through the support limiting hole 33 and the connecting cavity, the bottom column 32 can be connected to the top column 31. Similarly, when the sliding limiting hole 34 corresponds to the connecting cavity, and a limiting pin 35 is connected through the sliding limiting hole 34 and the connecting cavity, the bottom column 32 can be connected to the top column 31. Since the support limiting hole 33 is located above the sliding limiting hole 34, the connection height of the bottom column 32 when the limiting pin 35 is connected in the support limiting hole 33 is higher than the connection height of the bottom column 32 when the limiting pin 35 is connected in the sliding limiting hole 34.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, the bottom column 32 can be cylindrical, and the top column 31 can also be cylindrical, with the outer diameter of the top column 31 being smaller than the inner diameter of the cavity of the bottom column 32. Alternatively, in another embodiment of this application, the bottom column 32 can be cuboid, and the top column 31 can also be cuboid, with the side length of the top column 31 being smaller than the side length of the cavity of the bottom column 32.

[0038] A guide rod 36 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the bottom column 32. The guide rod 36 can be integrally formed with the bottom column 32 or welded together, without any specific limitation. When the guide rod 36 of the bottom column 32 abuts and engages within the bottom support groove 30, the bottom support groove 30 can provide support for the bottom column 32.

[0039] like Figures 1-5As shown, when the support limiting hole 33 and the connecting cavity correspond, and the support limiting hole 33 and the connecting cavity are connected by a limiting pin 35, the tops of the two rollers 21 abut against the top of the guide cavity 13, and the guide rod 36 is fitted into the bottom support groove 30. At this time, the column sliding support structure of this application cannot slide and is in a supported state. The roller assembly abuts against the top guide rail, and the bottom of the bottom column 32 abuts against the bottom support groove 30.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer side of the bottom wall of the guide groove 15 (i.e. the bottom surface of the third guide plate 14) is provided with a plurality of protruding, equally spaced limiting blocks 16. The limiting blocks 16 can be integrally formed with the third guide plate 14, or the limiting blocks 16 can be fixed to the bottom surface of the third guide plate 14 by other methods commonly used in the art, without specific limitations here.

[0041] The distance T between two adjacent limiting blocks 16 on the guide groove 15 is greater than or equal to the length M of the transverse support rod 22. When the column sliding support structure of this application cannot slide and is in a supported state, the transverse support rod 23 is located between the two limiting blocks 16. The two limiting blocks 16 can limit the roller assembly and prevent the roller assembly from sliding, so that the column sliding support structure of this application is in a stable and effective supported state.

[0042] like Figures 6-9 As shown, when the sliding limiting hole 34 and the connecting cavity correspond, and the limiting pin 35 is connected through the sliding limiting hole 34 and the connecting cavity, the two rollers 21 can be slidably engaged in the two guide grooves 15 respectively, and the guide rod 36 is disengaged from the bottom support groove 30; at this time, the column sliding support structure of this application is in a slidable state.

[0043] This application also provides a side-opening container, including a top side beam 41 and a bottom side beam 42, the top side beam 41 and the bottom side beam 42 being parallel, with the top side beam 41 located above the bottom side beam 42.

[0044] The side-opening container of this application also includes the column sliding support structure of this application, with a top guide rail connected to the bottom surface of the top side beam 41 and a bottom support groove 30 disposed on the bottom side beam 42. The column sliding support structure of this application can support the top side beam 41 and the bottom side beam 42 of the side-opening container, and can enhance the strength of the top side beam 41 and the bottom side beam 42.

[0045] Specifically, the first guide plate 11 is fixed to the bottom surface of the top side beam 41. The fixing method can be a common method in this technical field and is not specifically limited here. The top guide rail is arranged along the extension direction of the top crossbeam 41, that is, both the guide cavity 13 and the guide groove 15 are arranged along the extension direction of the top crossbeam 41.

[0046] The bottom support groove 30 is arranged along the extension direction of the bottom side beam 42, and the bottom support groove 30 can be a recessed groove structure set in the bottom measuring 42.

[0047] The column sliding support structure of this application can be in a supported state and a sliding state. When the column sliding support structure of this application is in the supported state, it can support the side beam of the side-opening container. When the column sliding support structure of this application is in the sliding state, the column sliding support structure can slide to the required position and / or the end of the side beam, so as to adjust the support position of the column sliding support structure on the side beam, and facilitate the loading of goods, avoiding the column sliding support structure from affecting or hindering the loading of goods.

[0048] The sliding support structure of this application includes a top column 31 and a bottom column 32. A roller assembly allows the top column 31 and bottom column 32 to slide along the top side beam 41, thereby adjusting the support position of the sliding support structure on the side beam. The sliding support structure is not fixedly connected between the top side beam 41 and the bottom side beam 42; its support position on the side beam is adjustable. When loading or unloading goods, the sliding support structure can be slid to the far end of the side beam to provide a larger open space, facilitating loading and unloading and preventing the sliding support structure from obstructing or affecting the process. After loading and unloading, the sliding support structure can be slid to the required position to effectively support the side beam.

[0049] When a sliding support structure for the column is required, the limiting pin 35 in the support limiting hole 33 can be removed, the bottom column 32 can be moved upward, so that the sliding limiting hole 34 and the connecting cavity correspond, and the limiting pin 35 can be inserted through to connect the sliding limiting hole 34 and the connecting cavity, thereby increasing the connection height of the bottom column 32. As the bottom column 32 is raised, the guide rod 36 at the bottom of the bottom column 32 no longer cooperates with the bottom support groove 30, and the bottom support groove 30 no longer provides support for the bottom column 32. Therefore, the column sliding support structure of this application will move down as a whole until the bottom of the roller 21 abuts against the guide groove 15, and the transverse support plate 23 moves down to below the limiting block 16 and spaced apart from the limiting block 16, so that the roller 21 can slide along the guide groove 15, that is, the column sliding support structure can slide along the top guide rail.

[0050] When the column sliding support structure slides to the required position, the position of the column sliding support structure needs to be limited and locked. The limiting pin 35 in the sliding limiting hole 34 can be removed, the bottom column 32 can be moved down, so that the support limiting hole 33 and the connecting cavity correspond, and the limiting pin 35 can be inserted through the support limiting hole 33 and the connecting cavity, thereby reducing the connection height of the bottom column 32 and allowing the guide rod 36 at the bottom of the bottom column 32 to abut against the bottom support groove 30. The bottom support groove 30 can support the bottom column 32 and raise the overall height of the column sliding support structure, so that the column sliding support structure moves up until the top of the roller 21 abuts against the guide cavity 13. That is, the top of the column sliding support structure abuts against the top side beam 41, and the bottom of the column sliding support structure abuts against the bottom side beam 42. The column sliding support structure cannot slide and is in a supported state. The column sliding support structure can support the top side beam 41 and the bottom side beam 42.

[0051] In this application, the required position is defined as the position between two limit blocks 16. There can be multiple required positions, which can be selected according to specific actual needs.

[0052] The required position is defined as the position between the two limiting blocks 16, that is, the roller assembly is located between the two limiting blocks 16. The two limiting blocks 16 can limit the roller assembly, which can block and restrict the sliding of the roller assembly, so that the column sliding support structure of this application is in a stable and effective support state.

[0053] The distance H between the support limiting hole 33 and the sliding limiting hole 34 is equal to the difference A between the height of the guide cavity 13 and the outer diameter of the roller 21, and is equal to the distance B between the guide rod 36 and the bottom support groove 30 in the sliding state.

[0054] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this 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. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by this utility model.
