Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the continued growth in demand for container rail transport, general-purpose open wagons are widely used in this field. However, existing general-purpose open wagons lack effective container positioning capabilities, resulting in significant gaps between the containers and the wagon body during transport. This easily leads to container shifting and collisions, threatening not only cargo transport safety but also affecting the reliability of the wagon body structure. To suppress such shifting and prevent uneven loading, existing solutions mostly rely on adding shields between the containers and the wagon body, but this significantly reduces transport efficiency and increases operating costs.

[0063] Another aspect of this application discloses an open wagon that includes the aforementioned container guidance and positioning device.

[0064] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below do not limit the scope of the utility model as described in the claims. Additionally, the complete contents of the structures represented in the embodiments below are not limited to those necessary for the solution of the utility model as described in the claims. It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0065] With the continuous growth in demand for container rail transport, general-purpose open wagons are widely used in this field. However, their original design was not specifically for container transport, leading to several problems in transportation practice: First, the car body structure lacks strength, and the contact parts of the floor, small crossbeams, etc., with the container corner fittings are prone to deformation, damage, and weld cracking; second, the lack of effective container positioning function causes containers to shift and collide with the car body during transport, threatening cargo safety and car body reliability; third, the lack of loading and unloading guidance function not only relies on manual assistance, affecting loading and unloading efficiency, but also easily leads to container uneven loading, posing a safety hazard. To suppress shifting and uneven loading, existing technologies generally use the method of adding shields, but this significantly reduces transportation efficiency and increases operating costs. Based on this, this application discloses a container guiding and positioning device, which is used to install at the corner of the open wagon body, and can provide precise guidance and positioning for standard width (8 feet) and wide-body (8 feet 6 inches) containers without affecting the existing working conditions of open wagon transporting bulk cargo, timber, or large machinery.

[0066] It should be noted that, compared to standard containers, wide-body containers are only 112mm wider, while their external length and corner fitting positioning dimensions are exactly the same; the combined length of two 20ft containers is 76mm shorter than that of a 40ft container; and the top surface of the corner fittings of all containers is slightly higher than the bottom surface of the container body. Based on these dimensional relationships, this application designs a container guiding and positioning device that is compatible with both standard and wide-body 20ft and 40ft containers, and provides them with precise guiding and positioning functions.

[0067] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2The container guiding and positioning device disclosed in this application includes a primary guiding and positioning component 100 and a secondary guiding and positioning component 200. The primary guiding and positioning component 100 is provided with a first positioning surface 101 and a second positioning surface 102 arranged at an angle. The first positioning surface 101 and the second positioning surface 102 form a primary positioning area 105 and are used to abut and position against the two sides of the corner of a standard container 600, respectively. The secondary guiding and positioning component 200 is provided with a third positioning surface 201 and a fourth positioning surface 202 arranged at an angle. The third positioning surface 201 and the fourth positioning surface 202 form a secondary positioning area 205 and are used to abut and position against the two sides of the corner of a wide-body container 610, respectively.

[0068] Compared to existing technologies, the container guiding and positioning device disclosed in this application can effectively position both standard containers 600 and wide-body containers 610, solving the problem of container movement within the vehicle body 500 and thus preventing collision damage between the container's lower side beam and the vehicle body 500 caused by movement. Furthermore, the application of this container guiding and positioning device eliminates the need for traditional shielding measures, significantly improving loading and unloading efficiency and reducing operating costs. In summary, the container guiding and positioning device disclosed in this application enables existing general-purpose open wagons to achieve efficient and safe compatibility in transporting both standard containers 600 and wide-body containers 610 while maintaining their original versatility.

[0069] Specifically, in order to abut and position the two sides that are perpendicular to each other at the corner fittings of the standard container 600 and the wide-body container 610 respectively, the first positioning surface 101 and the second positioning surface 102 are arranged perpendicularly, the third positioning surface 201 and the fourth positioning surface 202 are arranged perpendicularly, and the first positioning surface 101 and the third positioning surface 201 are arranged in parallel, and the second positioning surface 102 and the fourth positioning surface 202 are arranged in parallel. In addition, the primary guide positioning component 100 may include a first positioning plate 111 and a second positioning plate 112 arranged at an angle, with the first positioning surface 101 and the second positioning surface 102 being the plate surfaces of the first positioning plate 111 and the second positioning plate 112, respectively. The secondary guide positioning component 200 may include a third positioning plate 211 and a fourth positioning plate 212 arranged at an angle, with the third positioning surface 201 and the fourth positioning surface 202 being the plate surfaces of the third positioning plate 211 and the fourth positioning plate 212, respectively. The first positioning plate 111 and the second positioning plate 112 may be separate structures, and the third positioning plate 211 and the fourth positioning plate 212 may be separate structures, and they may be fixed by welding, bolting, or other methods, allowing for flexible manufacturing. Alternatively, the first positioning plate 111 and the second positioning plate 112 may be an integral structure, and the third positioning plate 211 and the fourth positioning plate 212 may be an integral structure, and they may be directly formed by sheet metal stamping, bending, or casting processes, resulting in high structural strength.

[0070] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 10 A primary guide positioning component 100 is installed at the corner of the open wagon body 500. A first positioning surface 101 and a second positioning surface 102 are arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the end wall and side wall of the wagon body 500, respectively. To reliably guide the standard container 600 to the primary positioning area 105, in some embodiments disclosed in this application, the primary guide positioning component 100 is provided with a first guide surface 103 and a second guide surface 104. The first guide surface 103 has a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other. The first end is used to connect to the end wall of the wagon body 500, and the second end is connected to the top of the first positioning surface 101. The second guide surface 104 has a third end and a fourth end arranged opposite to each other. The third end is used to connect to the end wall of the wagon body 500, and the fourth end is connected to the top of the second positioning surface 102. The first... The guide surface 103 can be tilted relative to the first positioning surface 101 to guide the standard container 600 to the primary positioning area 105. In this case, the second guide surface 104 and the second positioning surface 102 can be arranged coplanarly. Alternatively, the first guide surface 103 and the first positioning surface 101 can be arranged coplanarly, while the second guide surface 104 is tilted relative to the second positioning surface 102 to guide the standard container 600 to the primary positioning area 105. Or, the first guide surface 103 is tilted relative to the first positioning surface 101, and the second guide surface 104 is also tilted relative to the second positioning surface 102. In this case, both the first guide surface 103 and the second guide surface 104 can guide the standard container 600 into the primary positioning area 105. The arrangement of the first guide surface 103 and the second guide surface 104 solves the guidance problem during the loading and unloading of the standard container 600 in open wagons, improving loading efficiency.

[0071] To enhance the reliability of the primary guide positioning component 100 structure, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The primary guide positioning assembly 100 also includes a first connecting plate 110. One side of the first connecting plate 110 is connected to the first positioning surface 101 and the first guide surface 103, and the other side of the first connecting plate 110 is used to connect to the end wall of the vehicle body 500, thereby supporting it between the first positioning surface 101 and the end wall of the vehicle body 500. The first connecting plate 110 can be fixed to the first positioning plate 111 and the first guide plate 113 by welding, screwing, or other means. Alternatively, the first connecting plate 110 can be an integral structure formed by stamping or bending a whole piece of sheet metal. The first connecting plate 110 can be fixed to the end wall of the vehicle body 500 by bolting, welding, or other means.

[0072] Furthermore, a first reinforcing rib can be provided between the first positioning plate 111 and the first guide plate 113 arranged at an angle by means of welding, screwing or other methods, and a second reinforcing rib can be provided between the second positioning plate 112 and the second guide plate 114 arranged at an angle by means of welding, screwing or other methods, thereby strengthening the overall structural strength of the primary guide positioning component 100, reducing structural deformation and extending service life.

[0073] Combination Figure 13 and Figure 16 The secondary guide positioning component 200 is used to be installed at the corner of the open wagon body 500. The third positioning surface 201 and the fourth positioning surface 202 are arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the end wall and side wall of the wagon body 500, respectively. In order to reliably guide the wide-body container 610 to the secondary positioning area 205, in some embodiments disclosed in this application, the secondary guide positioning component 200 is provided with a third guide surface 203 and a fourth guide surface 204. The third guide surface 203 has a fifth end and a sixth end arranged opposite to each other. The fifth end is used to connect with the side wall of the wagon body 500, and the sixth end is connected to the top of the third positioning surface 201. The fourth guide surface 204 has a seventh end and an eighth end arranged opposite to each other. The seventh end is used to connect with the side wall of the wagon body 500, and the eighth end is connected to the top of the fourth positioning surface 202. The third guiding surface 203 is inclined relative to the third positioning surface 201, and the fourth guiding surface 204 can be arranged coplanarly with the fourth positioning surface 202, so as to guide the wide-body container 610 to the secondary positioning area 205 through the third guiding surface 203; or, the third guiding surface 203 and the third positioning surface 201 can be arranged coplanarly, and the fourth guiding surface 204 is inclined relative to the fourth positioning surface 202, so as to guide the wide-body container 610 to the secondary positioning area 205 through the fourth guiding surface 204; or, the third guiding surface 203 is inclined relative to the third positioning surface 201, and the fourth guiding surface 204 is also inclined relative to the fourth positioning surface 202, so that both the third guiding surface 203 and the fourth guiding surface 204 can achieve the technical effect of guiding the wide-body container 610 into the secondary positioning area 205. The arrangement of the third guiding surface 203 and the fourth guiding surface 204 can solve the guidance problem in the process of loading and unloading the wide-body container 610 in open wagons, and improve the loading efficiency.

[0074] Specifically, the secondary guide and positioning component 200 may include a third guide plate 213 and a fourth guide plate 214. The third guide surface 203 and the fourth guide surface 204 are the plate surfaces of the third guide plate 213 and the fourth guide plate 214, respectively. The third guide plate 213 and the third positioning plate 211 can be separate structures, and the fourth guide plate 214 and the fourth positioning plate 212 can be separate structures, which are fixed by welding, bolt connection or other methods, and the manufacturing method is flexible; or, the third guide plate 213 and the third positioning plate 211 can be an integral structure, and the fourth guide plate 214 and the fourth positioning plate 212 can be an integral structure, which are directly formed by sheet metal stamping, bending or casting or other processes, and the structure has high strength. In addition, the third guide plate 213 and the fourth guide plate 214 can be an integral structure formed by stamping or bending the whole sheet, or a split structure assembled by welding or bolting. Since there are no connecting gaps, the integral structure has higher structural strength and overall rigidity. The split structure allows the third guide plate 213 and the fourth guide plate 214 to use different materials to optimize performance.

[0075] To enhance the structural strength of the secondary guide positioning component 200, it further includes a second connecting plate 210. One side of the second connecting plate 210 connects to the fourth positioning surface 202 and the fourth guide surface 204, while the other side connects to the side wall of the vehicle body 500. This allows the second connecting plate 210 to support the fourth guide surface 204 and the fourth positioning surface 202 between them and the side wall of the vehicle body 500, thereby increasing structural strength and reducing deformation of the fourth guide surface 204 and the fourth positioning surface 202. The second connecting plate 210 can be connected to the fourth positioning plate 212 and the fourth guide plate 214 via welding, screwing, or other methods. Alternatively, the second connecting plate 210 can be an integral structure formed by stamping or bending a single sheet of material, and the second connecting plate 210 can be fixed to the side wall of the vehicle body 500 via bolting, welding, or other methods.

[0076] Furthermore, a third reinforcing rib can be installed between the third positioning plate 211 and the third guide plate 213, which are arranged at an angle, by means of welding, screwing, etc., and a fourth reinforcing rib can be installed between the fourth positioning plate 212 and the fourth guide plate 214, which are arranged at an angle, by means of welding, screwing, etc., thereby strengthening the overall structural strength of the secondary guide positioning component 200, reducing structural deformation, and extending service life.

[0077] To improve the integration of the structure, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2The second positioning surface 102 and the third positioning surface 201 are arranged adjacently and connected, and the second guide surface 104 and the third guide surface 203 are arranged adjacently and connected. That is, the second positioning plate 112 and the third positioning plate 211 are arranged adjacently and connected, and the second guide plate 114 and the third guide plate 213 are arranged adjacently and connected. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, combined with... Figures 2-5 A portion of the first connecting plate 110, the first guide plate 113, and the second guide plate 114 are integrally formed folding and pressing components; a portion of the second connecting plate 210, the third guide plate 213, and the fourth guide plate 214 are integrally formed folding and pressing components; and another portion of the first connecting plate 110, the first positioning plate 111, the second positioning plate 112, the third positioning plate 211, the fourth positioning plate 212, and another portion of the second connecting plate 210 are integrally formed folding and pressing components. All folding and pressing components are made of Q450NQR1 material with a thickness of 10mm and are welded together.

[0078] In some embodiments disclosed in this application, a first positioning hole is provided at the corner of the standard container 600; the primary guide positioning component 100 also includes a first locking member 300, which is disposed in the primary positioning area 105. When the standard container 600 is guided into the primary positioning area 105 by the first guide surface 103 or the second guide surface 104, the first positioning hole and the first locking member 300 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first locking member 300 can be inserted into the first positioning hole to achieve reliable positioning of the standard container 600 and prevent the standard container 600 from moving during transportation.

[0079] Similarly, a second positioning hole can be opened at the corner of the wide-body container 610; the secondary guide positioning assembly 200 also includes a second locking member, which is set in the secondary positioning area 205; when the wide-body container 610 is guided into the secondary positioning area 205 by the third guide surface 203 or the fourth guide surface 204, the second positioning hole and the second locking member are arranged opposite to each other, and the second locking member can be inserted into the second positioning hole to achieve positioning of the standard container 600.

[0080] To facilitate the insertion of the first locking member 300 into the first locking hole, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cross-sectional area of ​​the locking end of the first locking member 300 gradually decreases along the insertion direction, forming a conical structure. After the standard container 600 is guided into the primary positioning area 105, the conical structure of the first locking member 300 can automatically correct the positional deviation between itself and the first positioning hole, allowing the first locking member 300 to be smoothly inserted into the first positioning hole, thus improving the ease of positioning. Similarly, the cross-sectional area of ​​the locking end of the second locking member gradually decreases along the insertion direction, forming a conical structure, which facilitates its insertion into the second positioning hole, thereby achieving the positioning of the wide-body container 610.

[0081] In some embodiments disclosed in this application, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 7 The container guiding and positioning device also includes a mounting base plate 400. The primary guiding and positioning component 100 and the secondary guiding and positioning component 200 are both mounted on the mounting base plate 400, thereby ensuring the relative positional accuracy between the primary guiding and positioning component 100 and the secondary guiding and positioning component 200 and reducing assembly errors. The mounting base plate 400 can also increase the rigidity and load-bearing capacity at the corners of the vehicle body 500, reducing deformation of the vehicle body 500. Furthermore, the mounting base plate 400 can raise the corners of the container, solving the problem of underframe deflection that exists in the manufacturing of existing open wagons, preventing contact interference between the bottom of the container body and the deflected floor in the middle of the vehicle body 500, and reducing damage to the container. The first positioning plate 111, the second positioning plate 112, the third positioning plate 211, the fourth positioning plate 212, the first connecting plate 110, and the second connecting plate 210 can be fixed to the mounting base plate 400 by welding, bolting, or other methods. For example, combined with... Figure 7 The mounting base plate 400 is a 14mm thick rectangular plate, and it is welded to the end crossbeams and end longitudinal beams of the vehicle body 500, allowing the container's bottom plate to be 7mm higher than the floor surface of the vehicle body 500; combined with Figure 6 The first locking component 300 and the second locking component can be fixed to the mounting base plate 400 by double-sided welding.

[0082] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 8 The open wagon disclosed in this application includes a wagon body 500 and the aforementioned container guiding and positioning devices. Each container guiding and positioning device is respectively located at a different corner within the wagon body 500, thereby positioning the different corners of the containers within the wagon body 500. The container guiding and positioning devices can be welded to the end walls, side walls, floor, or underframe at the corners of the wagon body 500, increasing the overall rigidity of the vehicle and the strength of the corresponding side pillars, and improving the resistance of the side walls and end walls to external expansion. Furthermore, during the welding process, the lateral or longitudinal positioning dimensions of the first positioning surface 101, the second positioning surface 102, the third positioning surface 201, and the fourth positioning surface 202 must be ensured, and the container guiding and positioning devices must be cut according to the deformation of the wagon body 500. Since it includes the aforementioned container guiding and positioning devices, it also possesses the aforementioned structure and beneficial effects. Other structures refer to related technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0083] For example, in some embodiments, the container guiding and positioning devices described above are provided at the four corners of the vehicle body 500, and the container guiding and positioning devices arranged at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body 500 are used to position the same 40ft container or different 20ft containers.

[0084] In addition, combined Figure 16 and Figure 18 Along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body 500, multiple side pillar reinforcement seats 510 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the vehicle body 500. The side pillar reinforcement seats 510 are used to abut and position the sides of the wide-body container 610.

[0085] Combination Figures 8-12 When the open wagon is loaded with a 20ft or 40ft standard container 600, the two corner fittings at one end of the standard container 600 are guided to two primary positioning areas 105 via the first guide surface 103 or the second guide surface 104, and locked with a first locking element 300, thereby achieving positioning of the standard container 600 in the length and width directions; combined with Figures 13-19 When loading 20ft or 40ft wide-body containers 610, the two corner pieces at one end of the wide-body container 610 are guided into the secondary positioning area 205 via the third guide surface 203 or the fourth guide surface 204 and placed in the designated position. The third positioning surface 201 achieves the positioning function of the wide-body container 610 along the length direction, and the fourth positioning surface 202 and the side column reinforcement seat 510 achieve the positioning function of the wide-body container 610 along the width direction. When loading two 20ft wide-body containers 610, there is a gap a of 76 (0~+20) mm between the two wide-body containers 610. This gap a is less than the maximum allowable movement of containers specified in the "Railway Freight Loading and Reinforcement Rules", which meets the safety requirements. The open wagon disclosed in this application embodiment can achieve complete positioning of wide-body, standard 20ft, and 40ft containers, ensuring that the containers do not move within the wagon body 500 during transportation, improving loading and unloading efficiency and reducing transportation costs.

[0086] To achieve rapid and accurate container placement, auxiliary "container placement" signs or other container placement signs are installed at corresponding positions on the upper side panel of the vehicle body 500 to identify the positions of the primary guide positioning component 100 and the secondary guide positioning component 200, respectively. This facilitates the loading process without the need for ground personnel to direct the placement and avoids post-placement adjustments, significantly reducing loading operations and subsequent inspection time, and effectively improving overall transportation efficiency. For example, the placement signs for standard containers 600 and wide-body containers 610 can be placed in the same location and can be distinguished by signs such as "standard container placement" and "wide-body container placement." Specifically, placement signs can be installed at the four corners of the upper side beam of the vehicle body 500. These placement signs can be made of stainless steel (T4003), with a thickness of 2mm and a width of 50mm. After being welded and fixed to the vehicle body 500, they can be painted yellow and affixed with yellow reflective stickers to ensure high visibility under various lighting conditions.

[0087] The terms "parallel" and "perpendicular" used in this application refer to "basically parallel" and "basically perpendicular" in practical operation. "Basically parallel" can be understood as parallelism with a certain degree of error, and similarly, "basically perpendicular" can be understood as perpendicularity with a certain degree of error.

[0088] The terms "first" and "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units may include steps or units not listed, but rather steps or units not listed. Additionally, in the description of embodiments in this application, "a plurality of" means two or more.
