[0001] This application relates to the field of container technology, and in particular to containers. Background Technology
[0002] The containerized hydrogen production system has hydrogen production equipment installed inside the container. The container can protect the hydrogen production equipment during transportation and shield it during operation. When the hydrogen production system is running, the staff need to operate and maintain the hydrogen production equipment from the side of the container.
[0003] In related technologies, containers have a support mechanism, which is the main frame of the container. Doors are set at both ends of the support mechanism, and side wall panels are fixedly installed on both sides of the support mechanism. The side wall panels cannot be removed. With this configuration, the staff can only enter the container through the door. The side wall panels reduce the convenience for the staff to reach the operating space around the hydrogen production equipment, and the side wall panels of the container restrict the staff's working range and increase the difficulty of the staff's work. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a container that addresses the problem of reduced convenience for workers in related technologies.
[0005] A container, the container comprising:
[0006] The support mechanism has interconnected receiving cavities and openings, with the openings located on one side of the support mechanism;
[0007] The sealing mechanism includes multiple sealing components, which are detachably installed at the opening, and the multiple sealing components work together to seal the opening.
[0008] In one embodiment, the support mechanism is provided with a sliding groove and an opening that are interconnected. The sliding groove is located at the end of the opening, and one end of each of the multiple sealing members can be slidably disposed in the sliding groove. The sealing members can be inserted into or removed from the sliding groove through the opening.
[0009] In one embodiment, the support mechanism includes:
[0010] The mounting bracket has an opening;
[0011] Two guide rails are respectively set at both ends of the opening along the first direction. The guide rails are detachably connected to the fixing frame. Both guide rails have sliding grooves, and at least one guide rail has an opening. The two ends of the sealing member are slidably set in the two sliding grooves respectively.
[0012] In one embodiment, the support mechanism further includes:
[0013] The cover plate has one end rotatably connected to the guide rail and the other end detachably connected to the guide rail. The cover plate is used to seal the opening.
[0014] In one embodiment, the guide rail is arranged along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. Multiple sealing members are arranged sequentially along the second direction. The guide rail has multiple openings, and at least one sealing member is located within an opening along a third direction, which is perpendicular to the first and second directions.
[0015] In one embodiment, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the guide rail, and the drain outlet is connected to the sliding groove.
[0016] In one embodiment, the sealing member includes an operating part for disengaging the sealing member from the support mechanism.
[0017] In one embodiment, the operating unit includes:
[0018] The operating port is located at the bottom of the sealing component.
[0019] In one embodiment, the sealing member is provided with sealing elements on both sides along the second direction, and the sealing elements on two adjacent sealing members abut each other.
[0020] In one embodiment, a first connecting portion with a first slot is provided on one side of the sealing member along the second direction, and a second connecting portion with a second slot is provided on the other side of the sealing member along the second direction. The first slot and the second slot are disposed opposite to each other. A first groove of the sealing member is disposed opposite to a second groove of the opposite sealing member, and a first connecting portion of the sealing member overlaps with a second connecting portion of an adjacent sealing member.
[0021] The aforementioned container has an opening on one side of the supporting mechanism. Multiple sealing components work together to seal the opening, thereby blocking the receiving cavity. The sealing components are detachably connected to the supporting mechanism. With this structure, when maintenance is needed on the equipment inside the receiving cavity, one or more sealing components can be removed, exposing the equipment and creating an access passage and working space. This design allows the sealing mechanism to provide basic concealment during transport or shutdown, and also enables the removal of sealing components during equipment installation or maintenance, opening part or all of the opening as an access passage for personnel and equipment. This improves the convenience of personnel reaching the surrounding operating space and expands the working space outside the container, increasing the work area and facilitating operations, thus reducing the difficulty of the work for personnel.

If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0047] See Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a container, which includes a support mechanism 10 and a sealing mechanism 20. The support mechanism 10 has an interconnected receiving cavity 101 and a through-hole 111, with the through-hole 111 located on one side of the support mechanism 10. The sealing mechanism 20 includes a plurality of sealing elements 21, which are detachably disposed at the through-hole 111 and collectively seal the through-hole 111.
[0048] Applying the technical solution of this application, a through-hole 111 is provided on one side of the support mechanism 10, and multiple sealing elements 21 cooperate to seal the through-hole 111, thereby sealing the receiving cavity 101. The sealing elements 21 are detachably connected to the support mechanism 10. With this structure, when maintenance is required on the equipment inside the receiving cavity 101, one or more sealing elements 21 at the corresponding positions can be removed, thereby exposing the equipment inside the receiving cavity 101 and simultaneously creating an access passage and working space. In this configuration, the sealing mechanism 20 can provide basic shielding during transportation or shutdown, and when installing or maintaining equipment, the sealing elements 21 at the corresponding positions can be removed to open part or all of the through-hole 111 as an access passage, facilitating the entry and exit of personnel and equipment. This improves the convenience for personnel to reach the surrounding operating space of the equipment, while also expanding the working space outside the container, increasing the working range of personnel, facilitating operation, improving the convenience of personnel work, and reducing the difficulty of personnel work.
[0049] In some embodiments, the container of this application is modified based on the components of the original standard container, and in the possible entry and exit positions, the fixed side wall panels are changed to detachable sealing parts 21.
[0050] In related technologies, the top of the container mainly provides shelter for hydrogen production equipment, but if equipment needs to be operated from the top, the top of the container can also be changed to a detachable structure.
[0051] In some embodiments, for containerized hydrogen production systems, due to their high degree of integration, numerous pipelines, valves, instruments, pumps, reactors, and container equipment are installed inside the container. During operation, the operating parameters of some instruments and equipment need to be read and monitored on-site; after operation and during shutdown maintenance, they need to be inspected and maintained. Using the technical solution of this application, personnel can enter the container through the open port 111 to perform operations.
[0052] In some embodiments, the sealing element 21 is fixed to the support mechanism 10 by bolts.
[0053] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this application, one side of the support mechanism 10 includes a first horizontal beam 112, a first vertical beam 113, a second horizontal beam 114, and a second vertical beam 115, which sequentially enclose an opening 111.
[0054] In some embodiments, the two ends of the sealing member 21 are detachably connected to the first crossbeam 112 and the second crossbeam 114, respectively, or the two ends of the sealing member 21 are detachably connected to the first vertical beam 113 and the second vertical beam 115, respectively.
[0055] See Figures 2 to 5 One end of the support mechanism 10 is provided with a sliding groove 121 and an opening 122 that are interconnected. The sliding groove 121 is located at the end of the through-hole 111. One end of each of the multiple sealing members 21 can be slidably disposed within the sliding groove 121. The sealing members 21 can be inserted into or removed from the sliding groove 121 through the opening 122. With this configuration, the multiple sealing members 21 can be slidably disposed within the sliding groove 121, and the sliding groove 121 can limit the positioning of the sealing members 21. The sealing members 21 can be fixed without the use of additional structures, reducing the difficulty of disassembling and installing the sealing members 21. At the same time, the opening 122 provided in the sliding groove 121 facilitates the disassembly and installation of the sealing members 21.
[0056] In some embodiments, sliding grooves 121 and openings 122 may be provided on the first crossbeam 112 and / or the second crossbeam 114.
[0057] See Figure 1 The Z direction is the first direction, which is the height direction of the container; the X direction is the second direction, which is the length direction of the container; and the Y direction is the third direction, which is the width direction of the container.
[0058] In this application, the first vertical beam 113 and the second vertical beam 115 are arranged along a first direction, and the first horizontal beam 112 and the second horizontal beam 114 are arranged along a second direction. The first horizontal beam 112 is located at the top of the container, and the second horizontal beam 114 is located at the bottom of the container.
[0059] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support mechanism 10 includes a fixed frame 11 and two guide rails 12. The fixed frame 11 has a through-hole 111. The two guide rails 12 are respectively disposed at both ends of the through-hole 111 along a first direction. The guide rails 12 are detachably connected to the fixed frame 11. Both guide rails 12 have sliding grooves 121, and at least one guide rail 12 has an opening 122. The two ends of the sealing member 21 are slidably disposed within the two sliding grooves 121. This arrangement allows the guide rails 12 to be detachably connected to the fixed frame 11, facilitating the replacement of the guide rails 12 after a period of use, thereby improving the stability of the sealing member 21 in sealing the through-hole 111. Furthermore, the sliding grooves 121 of the two guide rails 12 ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the sealing member 21 during movement.
[0060] In this application, the fixing frame 11 includes a first horizontal beam 112, a first vertical beam 113, a second horizontal beam 114, and a second vertical beam 115.
[0061] In this application, the grooves of the two guide rails 12 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0062] See Figure 5 The support mechanism 10 also includes a cover plate 13, one end of which is rotatably connected to the guide rail 12, and the other end of which is detachably connected to the guide rail 12. The cover plate 13 is used to seal the opening 122. With this configuration, the cover plate 13 can be temporarily opened to allow personnel to operate the sealing component 21, and can also effectively close the opening 122 under normal circumstances to prevent foreign objects from entering the sliding groove 121. At the same time, it can also prevent unauthorized and unintended personnel from entering the container, thus protecting property safety.
[0063] See Figure 5 , Figures 8 to 10 In some embodiments, one end of the cover plate 13 is connected to the guide rail 12 by riveting, so the cover plate 13 can rotate around the rivet to open or close the opening 122. The other end of the cover plate 13 and the guide rail 12 are provided with connecting holes, through which the cover plate 13 is locked by passing a lead seal 16 or a padlock 15 through the connecting holes on the cover plate 13 and the guide rail 12.
[0064] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 The guide rail 12 is arranged along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. Multiple sealing elements 21 are arranged sequentially along the second direction. The guide rail 12 has multiple openings 122, and at least one sealing element 21 has its projection along a third direction located within an opening 122. This third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of the guide rail 12, and consequently, the assembly of the sealing elements 21. Furthermore, since the projection of the sealing element 21 along the third direction is located within the opening 122, interference between the sealing element 21 and the guide rail 12 is avoided, facilitating the disassembly of the sealing element 21.
[0065] In some embodiments, the distance between two adjacent openings 122 is several times the dimension of the sealing member 21 in the second direction. After a single sealing member 21 slides to an opening 122, it can be removed from the guide rail 12 from the opening 122. After the first sealing member 21 located at the opening 122 is removed, adjacent sealing members 21 can slide to this opening 122 in sequence, and then be removed from the guide rail 12 one by one, until all sealing members 21 are removed.
[0066] See Figure 3 One guide rail 12 is detachably connected to the first crossbeam 112 via a locking member 14, and the other guide rail 12 is detachably connected to the second crossbeam 114 via a locking member 14. Furthermore, the guide rail 12 connected to the second crossbeam 114 has an opening 122, while the guide rail 12 connected to the first crossbeam 112 does not have an opening 122. The locking member 14 can be a bolt.
[0067] See Figure 5 The bottom of the guide rail 12 is provided with a drain outlet 123, which is connected to the sliding groove 121. The drain outlet 123 can drain the rainwater accumulated in the sliding groove 121, preventing rainwater from contaminating the equipment inside the container.
[0068] In this application, a plurality of drain outlets 123 are provided on the guide rail 12 connected to the second crossbeam 114, and the drain outlets 123 are located on the side of the guide rail 12 away from the internal space of the container.
[0069] In some embodiments, the guide rail 12 has a bottom surface and a side surface, a portion of the drain outlet 123 is located on the bottom surface, a portion of the drain outlet 123 is located on the side surface, the plane containing the drain outlet 123 has an angle of about 45° with the first direction, and the cross-section of the drain outlet 123 can be circular or elliptical.
[0070] In some embodiments, one side of the guide rail 12 includes a bent section 125 located within the sliding groove 121. One side of the sealing member 21 abuts against the bent section 125, and the other side of the sealing member 21 abuts against the other side of the guide rail 12. With this configuration, the guide rail 12 can limit the sealing member 21 and prevent the sealing member 21 from shifting during movement.
[0071] Furthermore, the sealing element 21 includes an operating part for disengaging the sealing element 21 from the support mechanism 10. When all the sealing elements 21 are tightly disposed in the two guide rails 12, when a single sealing element 21 at the opening 122 needs to be moved outward, a certain amount of outward force needs to be applied to overcome the friction between adjacent sealing elements 21 and between the contact surfaces of the two guide rails 12. This arrangement, with its operating part, allows workers to easily apply force to move or disassemble the sealing element 21, improving loading and unloading efficiency and reducing operational intensity.
[0072] See Figure 7 The operating part includes an operating port 211, which is located at the bottom of the sealing component 21. This arrangement, with the operating port 211 at the bottom of the sealing component 21, results in a simple structure that is easy to manufacture. When disassembling the sealing component 21, workers can use a screwdriver or their fingers to hook the bottom edge of the sealing component 21 at the operating port 211 and pull it outwards, thereby removing both the upper and lower ends of the sealing component 21 from the guide rail 12. This ensures convenience for workers without requiring additional structures to be fabricated on the sealing component 21.
[0073] In some embodiments, the operating port 211 is a semi-circular structure with a diameter of about 15 mm.
[0074] The sealing element 21 has sealing elements on both sides along the second direction, and the sealing elements on two adjacent sealing elements 21 abut against each other. In this way, the sealing elements effectively enhance the sealing performance between adjacent sealing elements 21, prevent dust, moisture and other substances from entering from the gaps, improve the overall protection performance, and avoid damage to the equipment inside the container.
[0075] In some embodiments, the seal is made of rubber and has a U-shaped groove, and the seal surrounds the edge of the sealing member 21.
[0076] See Figure 11In another embodiment, the sealing member 21 has a first connecting portion 212 with a first groove on one side along the second direction, and a second connecting portion 213 with a second groove on the other side along the second direction. The first groove and the second groove are arranged opposite to each other. A first groove of the sealing member 21 is arranged opposite to a second groove of the opposite sealing member 21, and the first connecting portion 212 of the sealing member 21 overlaps with the second connecting portion 213 of the adjacent sealing member 21. This arrangement, with the first connecting portion 212 and the second connecting portion 213 overlapping each other, enhances the connection strength and stability between adjacent sealing members 21, improves the sealing performance between adjacent sealing members 21, and facilitates positioning between adjacent sealing members 21, improving assembly convenience.
[0077] See Figure 9 In this application, the container is provided with doors 30 at both ends to allow personnel and equipment to pass through.
[0078] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0079] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
