Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, specifically to a container. Background Technology
[0002] In the container shipping industry, ventilation is crucial when transporting goods that require air circulation (such as fruits and vegetables that require air circulation, and animal hides that easily exude sap). Currently, commonly used ventilated containers typically have ventilation holes, such as louvers, on their side or end walls.
[0003] However, existing ventilated containers have several problems: First, during transportation, in severe weather such as heavy rain or sandstorms, rainwater and dust can easily enter the container through the ventilation holes, damaging the goods. Simultaneously, liquids inside the container can leak back out through the ventilation holes. Second, existing ventilated containers perform poorly in preventing odor leakage. This is extremely detrimental to the transportation of goods with distinctive odors, potentially impacting the surrounding environment and other goods. While mechanical ventilation can actively regulate the air inside the container, its poor sealing performance makes it prone to two-way leakage of liquids from both inside and outside the container.
[0004] Therefore, a container is needed to at least partially solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model description section introduces a series of simplified concepts, which will be further explained in detail in the detailed description section. This utility model description section is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

[0049] This utility model provides a container to solve at least some of the problems existing in the ventilation devices of existing containers, such as sand and rainwater easily entering the container through the ventilation holes, liquid inside the container leaking back to the outside through the ventilation holes, and the leakage of odors from the goods.
[0050] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a container 100, including a container body 20 and a ventilation device 10, with the ventilation device 10 disposed on the container body 20. The ventilation device 10 includes a frame 11, a partition plate 12, and a filter element 13. The frame 11 is fixed to the container body 20, both ends of the partition plate 12 are connected to the frame 11, and the filter element 13 is connected to the frame 11 on one side of the partition plate 12.
[0052] At least two partitions 12 are arranged vertically, forming air ducts between adjacent partitions 12 to allow ventilation inside and outside the container 20. The partitions 12 include an upper partition 12a and a bottom partition 12b, with the bottom partition 12b being the lowest one and the upper partitions 12a being the partitions 12 above the bottom partition 12b. For example, the ventilation device 10 includes eight partitions 12 arranged vertically, with the lowest partition 12 being the bottom partition 12b and the seven partitions 12 above it forming the upper partitions 12a. The lower end of the bottom partition 12b is connected to the frame 11, meaning the lower end of the lowest partition 12 is connected to the frame 11. Thus, the bottom partition 12b can prevent liquid from accumulating in the frame 11, preventing liquid from flowing out of the container or rainwater from flowing into it.
[0053] "Up" and "down" refer to the vertical direction when the container is placed normally and the ventilation device 10 is installed on the container body 20.
[0054] At least the upper partition 12a of the plurality of partitions 12 includes a vertical upper plate 121, a downwardly sloping middle plate 122, and a vertical lower plate 123. Two middle plates 122 are connected downwardly to the lower end of the upper plate 121, and are located on either side of the upper plate 121, i.e., the two middle plates 122 extend downwardly from the lower end of the upper plate 121 to both sides, forming a roughly "V" shape. Two lower plates 123 are connected to the lower ends of the two middle plates 122, i.e., the lower plates 123 extend downward from the lower ends of the middle plates 122.
[0055] The bottom partition 12b can have the same structure as the upper partition 12a, and the lower end of the lower plate 123 of the bottom partition 12b is connected to the frame 11.
[0056] According to this utility model, the container can form air ducts between adjacent partitions, ensuring efficient airflow inside and outside the container. Rainwater can be guided by the middle plate of the partition to a direction away from the container walls, preventing it from entering the container through ventilation holes. Liquids accumulated inside the container are blocked by the bottom partition, preventing them from flowing out. The middle and bottom plates can also prevent some sand, gravel, and other debris from entering the container through the ventilation holes.
[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom partition 12b can omit the two lower plates 123, meaning the bottom partition 12b includes a vertical upper plate 121 and downward-sloping middle plates 122. The two middle plates 122 are connected downwards to the lower end of the upper plate 121, and are located on either side of the upper plate 121, with their lower ends connected to the frame 11. The middle plates 122 serve to block and guide accumulated liquid inside the tank and rainwater outside.
[0058] In two adjacent partition plates 12, the upper plate 121 of the lower partition plate 12 is partially located between the two lower plates 123 of the upper partition plate 12. That is, the horizontal projections of the two adjacent partition plates 12 partially overlap. As a result, a curved air duct that undulates upward in the vertical direction is formed between the two adjacent partition plates 12, which can more effectively block sand, gravel and other debris from outside the box.
[0059] It should be noted that, as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, an air duct for ventilation of the box 20 can also be formed between the uppermost partition plate 12 and the frame 11. Each partition plate 12 is preferably a single component, or it can be formed by connecting an upper plate 121, a middle plate 122 and a lower plate 123.
[0060] In some specific embodiments, the frame 11 can be set as a square outer frame, for example, it can be composed of four square tubes or angle steel connected end to end, or it can be a square integral profile.
[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the frame 11 can also be configured to include a mounting bracket 11a and an inner fixing bracket 11b. The mounting bracket 11a is located circumferentially outside the inner fixing bracket 11b and is fixed to the housing 20. The two ends of the partition plate 12 are connected to the inner fixing bracket 11b. The partition plate 12 can be connected to the inner fixing bracket 11b by welding, riveting, or other methods.
[0062] Either the mounting bracket 11a or the internal fixing bracket 11b is an integral component (profile) or formed by connecting separate components.
[0063] Mounting bracket 11a can be square, for example, it can be constructed from four sections of square tubing or angle steel connected end to end. The inner fixing bracket 11b is a square frame with width along its central axis, allowing the two ends of the partition plate 12 to be connected to it. For example, the inner fixing bracket 11b can be formed by bending sheet metal or flat steel and connecting them end to end. The inner fixing bracket 11b is connected to the inside of the mounting bracket 11a, i.e., the side facing its geometric center. The inner fixing bracket 11b and the mounting bracket 11a can be fixedly connected by welding, riveting, or other methods.
[0064] During the installation of the ventilation device 10, the mounting bracket 11a can be fixed to the housing 20, the partition plate 12 can be fixedly connected to the inner fixing bracket 11b, and then the inner fixing bracket 11b can be fixed to the mounting bracket 11a.
[0065] The filter element 13 includes a fixed frame, a barrier mesh, and a filter layer. The barrier mesh is used to prevent insects from entering the box. The filter layer, such as filter cotton or other filter materials (e.g., activated carbon), can be used to filter impurities and adsorb harmful gases such as odors. Preferably, the filter layer is located on the side of the barrier mesh facing inwards from the box.
[0066] The fixing frame is used to secure the barrier mesh and filter layer to the frame 11. Preferably, the fixing frame is detachably fixed to the frame 11 to facilitate replacement of the barrier mesh and filter layer. For example, the fixing frame presses the barrier mesh and filter layer onto the frame 11 and is fixed to the frame 11 by fasteners such as screws, bolts, or rivets. For example, the fixing frame is an independent U-shaped piece, with the barrier mesh and filter layer placed in the U-shaped groove of the fixing frame and fixed to the fixing frame by means of adhesive or other methods, thus the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the frame 11.
[0067] The filter element 13 is located on the side of the partition plate 12 facing inwards to prevent it from being clogged by debris from outside the box. Figure 3 As shown, the filter element 13 is connected to the mounting bracket 11a on the side of the partition plate 12 facing inwards from the box. As... Figure 4 As shown, the filter element 13 is installed on the side of the partition plate 12 facing inward to the inner fixing frame 11b.
[0068] The container body 20 typically includes a base frame, a top plate, end walls, and side walls. The base frame and the top plate are vertically opposite each other. The two side walls and the two end walls form the four walls of the container body 20, all of which are connected to the base frame and the top plate. Ventilation devices 10 are provided in at least one of the two end walls and the two side walls. One end wall may be provided with one or more ventilation devices 10; one side wall may be provided with one or more ventilation devices 10.
[0069] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the ventilation device 10 is embedded in the end wall and / or side wall and protrudes from the wall surface, thus preventing the cargo from blocking the ventilation holes and ensuring ventilation space inside the container.
[0070] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the ventilation device 10 is installed on the side of the end wall and / or side wall facing inwards from the box, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the ventilation device 10 is installed on the side of the end wall and / or side wall facing outwards from the box.
[0071] This utility model of a container features a simple ventilation device structure that provides significant two-way leak prevention while ensuring high-efficiency ventilation. It also effectively prevents insects from entering the container and avoids the leakage of impurities, odors, and other toxic or harmful substances. This utility model solves the problem of existing container ventilation devices failing to effectively prevent two-way gas and liquid leakage during ventilation, ensuring stable ventilation in various environments while protecting the safety of the goods inside and preventing environmental impact.
[0072] Unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein is for descriptive purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Features described in one embodiment may be applied, alone or in combination with other features, to another embodiment, unless that feature is not applicable in that other embodiment or is otherwise stated.
[0073] This utility model has been described through the above embodiments. However, it should be understood that the above embodiments are only for illustrative purposes. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Many variations and modifications can be made based on the teachings of this utility model, and all such variations and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
