Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tent technology, and more specifically, to a tent placed on a shipping container. Background Technology

[0002] Tents, as temporary or semi-permanent structures, are widely used in outdoor activities, warehousing, and construction sites. Currently, tents are typically erected independently on the ground, requiring the separate transport of all wall materials and supporting structures. For export, tents are mostly transported via containers, but the limited space of containers and the excessive height and material requirements of traditional tents lead to inconvenient transportation, high costs, and low installation efficiency. Traditional tents also require complete side walls due to their tall columns and material waste; furthermore, relocation necessitates disassembly and repeated, cumbersome installation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tent solution that is structurally simple, safe, reliable, and utilizes the characteristics of shipping containers. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a tent placed on a shipping container to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tent placed on a shipping container, comprising a tent frame, a tarpaulin, and two shipping containers; the two shipping containers are arranged opposite each other, and the two sides of the tent frame are respectively connected to the two shipping containers; the tarpaulin covers the tent frame; the tent frame includes at least two three-gantry frames, and multiple roof purlins are provided between adjacent two gantry frames and connected by the roof purlins.

[0004] Preferably, the gantry includes an arc-shaped beam, with columns and clamps at both ends of the arc-shaped beam, and the arc-shaped beam is connected to the columns via the clamps; the bottom of the columns is provided with a base, and the base is connected to the container.

[0005] Preferably, the base includes a horizontal plate and a connector, the connector being located at the center of the horizontal plate and connected to the column; the top of the container is provided with a U-shaped component that mates with the base, the U-shaped component having an assembly groove, the horizontal plate having an assembly hole that mates with the assembly groove, and the assembly hole and the assembly groove being connected by bolts.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping plate is an integrally formed structure, which includes a vertical plate and an inclined plate. The inclined plate and the vertical plate form an obtuse angle. The vertical plate is fixedly connected to the column by bolts, and the inclined plate is fixedly connected to the arc beam by bolts.

[0007] Preferably, the two ends of the arc-shaped beam are respectively provided with plug-in seats, and the top of the column is provided with a slot that mates with the plug-in seats, and the plug-in seats and the slots are plugged into each other.

[0008] Preferably, two reinforcing components are provided between two adjacent gantry frames, and the reinforcing components include two steel cables, which are connected between the two gantry frames in a cross-interlocking manner.

[0009] Preferably, the distribution of the multiple roof purlins between two adjacent gantry frames is non-uniform, and the distribution density of the roof purlins gradually increases from the edge of the gantry frame towards the top center area.

[0010] Preferably, the roof purlin is a square tube.

[0011] Preferably, the height of the column is 0.5m and the distance between two adjacent gantry frames is 3m.

[0012] Preferably, the number of gantry frames is three, the three gantry frames have the same radius of curvature, and the height of the middle gantry frame is greater than the height of the two side gantry frames, so as to form an arc-shaped roof that is high in the middle and low on both sides.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model has a reasonable design and simple structure. By utilizing the height of the container itself, the height of the support columns is shortened, saving column materials and facilitating packing. Simultaneously, using the side walls of the container as the two side walls of the tent eliminates the need for additional side wall materials, reducing material consumption. All components of the tent are detachable. When the tent needs to be moved, all tent materials can be disassembled and placed inside the container for transportation, reducing transportation costs and the risk of component damage. The container serves as an installation platform, reducing the steps of ground fixing and improving overall support strength. Furthermore, by welding U-shaped components onto the container and using a base, a rigid connection structure can be quickly formed, simplifying the construction process and enabling rapid disassembly and movement of the tent. This utility model optimizes the arrangement of the roof purlins, with a gradually denser design from the edge to the center. Combined with the curved roof structure of the curved beams, this enhances the roof structural strength and facilitates rapid rainwater drainage, preventing water accumulation and extending the tent's service life.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a tent placed on a shipping container, including a tent frame, a tarpaulin and two shipping containers 1; the two shipping containers 1 are arranged opposite each other, and the two sides of the tent frame are respectively connected to the two shipping containers 1; the tarpaulin covers the tent frame; the tent frame includes at least two three-gantry frames 2, and multiple roof purlins 3 are provided between two adjacent gantry frames 2 and connected by the roof purlins 3.

[0019] In this embodiment of the invention, container 1 serves as a standardized load-bearing structure, with a large weight and a wide ground contact area. The two containers 1 are symmetrically arranged, providing rigid anchor points on both sides of the tent frame. Compared to a single container 1 supporting only one side or the temporary foundation of a traditional tent, the anti-overturning and anti-lateral displacement capabilities are significantly improved. Especially in the face of severe weather such as strong winds and rain, the self-weight and structural rigidity of container 1 can effectively constrain the deformation of the tent frame, preventing overall instability. This embodiment directly replaces the two side walls, side columns 22, and bottom foundation of a traditional tent with two oppositely arranged containers 1. No additional side wall cladding materials are required; only the top and gable walls need to be covered with tent fabric. Furthermore, the high strength of container 1 itself eliminates the need for additional reinforcement of the side lateral force resisting components, further reducing frame material consumption.

[0020] The tent frame in this embodiment is composed of a gantry frame 2 and roof purlins 3 spliced ​​together, without any supporting columns or supporting components in the middle, forming a complete open space inside, which can be directly used for storage, construction sites, event venues and other scenarios, with a high degree of freedom in spatial layout.

[0021] In terms of construction, container 1 can be used directly as a ready-made foundation, eliminating the need for on-site concrete foundation pouring and pit excavation; only site leveling is required for placement. The gantry 2 can be prefabricated and assembled on the ground and then hoisted onto the top of container 1, where it is connected and fixed via roof purlins 3. The assembly process is simple, significantly shortening the construction cycle.

[0022] In terms of transportation and relocation, both the gantry frame 2 and the roof purlins 3 are modular components that can be disassembled and directly placed inside the two containers 1 for transport, effectively preventing damage and loss during transportation. During relocation, only the frame components need to be disassembled and the tarpaulin stored, then transported to the target location along with the containers 1 for reassembly. There is no need to transport the foundation or support structure separately, effectively controlling relocation costs. Furthermore, the number of gantry frames 2 can be flexibly increased or decreased to adapt to different space requirements, demonstrating a high degree of modularity.

[0023] Furthermore, the two opposing containers 1 not only serve as the supporting structure of the tent, but can also be used directly as ancillary spaces, such as offices, dormitories, storage rooms, tool sheds, etc., without the need to build additional supporting rooms, thus realizing the integrated layout of the main space and ancillary spaces of the tent. This is especially suitable for construction sites, field operations, and other scenarios, reducing the overall footprint.

[0024] Preferably, the gantry frame 2 includes an arc-shaped beam 21, with columns 22 and clamping plates 23 respectively at both ends of the arc-shaped beam 21, and the arc-shaped beam 21 is connected to the columns 22 by the clamping plates 23; the bottom of the columns 22 is provided with a base 24, and the base 24 is connected to the container 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the curved beam 21 is a curved load-bearing component that can evenly transfer roof loads, such as rainwater, snow, and the weight of the tarpaulin, to the two end columns 22 along the curve, avoiding local stress concentration. Simultaneously, the curved structure itself has better bending and overturning resistance than a straight beam, reducing the toppling force of wind loads on the roof, making it particularly suitable for large-span tents. The columns 22 are vertically arranged at both ends of the curved beam 21, transferring the load transmitted by the curved beam 21 vertically downwards to the base 24, and then through the base 24 to the container 1, resulting in high overall load-bearing efficiency. The curved beam 21 and the columns 22 are connected by clamps 23, eliminating the need for on-site welding; assembly can be completed simply by tightening bolts. This avoids component deformation and on-site hot work risks associated with welding, and allows for rapid assembly and disassembly. During installation, it can be quickly assembled on the ground to form the gantry frame 2; during transportation, it can be disassembled into individual components for storage, resulting in high assembly efficiency and easy storage. An independent base 24 is provided at the bottom of the column 22. Compared with the column 22 being directly connected to the container 1, the base 24 increases the contact area between the column 22 and the container 1, which can distribute the concentrated load of the column 22 to a larger area on the top of the container 1, avoiding local pressure deformation on the top of the container 1. The base 24 can be rigidly connected to the container 1 through bolts, welded connectors, etc., to form a cooperative force-bearing system and improve the resistance to lateral displacement and overturning.

[0026] Preferably, the base 24 includes a horizontal plate 24a and a connector 24b, the connector 24b is located at the center of the horizontal plate 24a and is connected to the column 22; the top of the container 1 is provided with a U-shaped part 4 that cooperates with the base 24, the U-shaped part 4 is provided with an assembly groove, the horizontal plate 24a is provided with an assembly hole 24c that cooperates with the assembly groove, and the assembly hole 24c and the assembly groove are connected by bolts.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connector 24b is connected to the column 22, and the column 22 can be directly inserted into the connector 24b and then locked with bolts or pins. The vertical load transmitted by the column 22, such as its own weight, roof rainwater and snow load, and the weight of the tarpaulin, is first transmitted to the horizontal plate 24a through the central connector 24b. The horizontal plate 24a can be designed as a rectangular steel plate, and its contact area is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the column 22. This can evenly distribute the load originally concentrated at the bottom of the column 22 to the U-shaped component 4, avoiding the concentration of load on the weak part of the top of the container 1 and preventing structural damage such as dents and deformation of the top of the container 1. The U-shaped component 4 can be connected by bolts or directly welded to the top of the container 1 as a fixed support point for the tent. Then, the horizontal plate 24a and the U-shaped component 4 are connected by bolts to quickly form a stable installation structure. To facilitate docking and adjustment of the installation position, an assembly groove is provided on the U-shaped part 4. The bolts on the assembly hole 24c can be moved in the opposite direction of the length of the assembly groove, which can accommodate small deviations during hoisting.

[0028] Preferably, the clamping plate 23 is a one-piece molded structure, comprising a vertical plate 23a and an inclined plate 23b. The inclined plate 23b and the vertical plate 23a form an obtuse angle. The vertical plate 23a is fixedly connected to the column 22 by bolts, and the inclined plate 23b is fixedly connected to the arc beam 21 by bolts. In this embodiment, the clamping plate 23 is integrally stamped or cast, and there are no splicing welds between the vertical plate 23a and the inclined plate 23b, ensuring that the material of the clamping plate 23 is uniform and the stress distribution is continuous. When subjected to tensile and shear forces between the arc beam 21 and the column 22, no local deformation or breakage will occur. The curved beam 21 is a curved surface component. When connected with the vertically arranged column 22, it forms a natural inclined force-bearing surface. The obtuse angle between the inclined plate 23b and the vertical plate 23a is usually designed to be 100~120° to match the connection angle between the curved beam 21 and the column 22, so that the inclined plate 23b can be completely fitted with the side wall of the curved beam 21, while the vertical plate 23a is tightly fitted with the side of the column 22.

[0029] Preferably, each end of the arc-shaped beam 21 is provided with a plug-in seat, and the top of the column 22 is provided with a slot that mates with the plug-in seat. The plug-in seat and the slot are plugged in for connection. In this embodiment, the plug-in seat and the slot have a convex-concave fit structure. The size and shape of the plug-in seats at both ends of the arc-shaped beam 21 are adapted to the slot at the top of the column 22. During installation, the plug-in seat is aligned with the slot of the column 22 and inserted vertically to complete the positioning of the arc-shaped beam 21 and the column 22. Then, it is reinforced by the clamping plate 23. There is no need to repeatedly align the holes, which not only improves the installation efficiency but also further increases the structural strength.

[0030] Preferably, two reinforcing components are provided between two adjacent gantry frames 2. Each reinforcing component includes two steel cables 5, which are connected between the two gantry frames 2 in a crisscrossing manner. In this embodiment, the two reinforcing components are respectively located on both sides of the gantry frame 2. The two steel cables 5 of each reinforcing component are arranged in an X-shape, which is equivalent to forming a flexible shear brace between adjacent gantry frames 2, which can effectively resist the lateral thrust generated by horizontal wind loads. The two ends of the steel cables 5 can be designed as hooks, bolt holes, U-clamps, and other connecting parts, which can be quickly adapted to the preset connection points of the curved beams 21, columns 22, etc. of the gantry frame 2.

[0031] Preferably, the distribution of the multiple roof purlins 3 between two adjacent gantry frames 2 is non-uniform, and the distribution density of the roof purlins 3 gradually increases from the edge of the gantry frame 2 towards the top center area. In this embodiment, the stress characteristics of the curved roof are that the load is concentrated in the top center area and dispersed in the edge area. Rainwater and snow tend to accumulate briefly near the top center, and the weight of the tarpaulin also causes greater stress at the top center due to the curvature of the roof. The increasing density of the roof purlins 3 towards the top center can disperse the concentrated load in the core area through more roof purlins 3, and evenly transfer the load to the two gantry frames 2 on both sides, avoiding tarpaulin sagging, purlin bending, or deformation of the curved beam 21 due to overload at the top center.

[0032] Preferably, the roof purlin 3 is a square tube.

[0033] Preferably, the height of the column 22 is 0.5m, and the distance between two adjacent gantry frames 2 is 3m. In this embodiment, The standard freight container 1 (20 feet / 40 feet) has a top height of approximately 2.6 meters above the ground, and the support column 22 is designed to be 0.5 meters high. This allows the curved roof to achieve the required clearance height without additional height increases, satisfying the space needs of warehousing, personnel activities, and equipment deployment. Furthermore, the height of the container 1 itself minimizes the length of the support column 22. Compared to the 2-3 meter height of the support column 22 in traditional independent tents, this embodiment significantly reduces material consumption, lowers the processing and transportation costs of the support column 22, and the shorter support column 22 naturally has stronger resistance to bending and overturning, eliminating the need for additional reinforcement structures.

[0034] The length of the 20-foot container 1 is approximately 6m, and the length of the 40-foot container 1 is approximately 12m, both being integer multiples of 3m. When the gantry frames 2 are arranged at 3m intervals, they can accommodate the positioning of the reinforcing ribs of the container 1, so that the base 24 of each gantry frame 2 corresponds exactly to the load-bearing reinforcement area on the top of the container 1, avoiding the load acting on the weak parts of the container 1 and ensuring the safety of the coordinated stress of the container 1 and the tent. At the same time, the 3m intervals can allow the tent length to be extended in integer multiples of 3m, better adapting to the size system of the container 1.

[0035] Preferably, the number of gantry frames 2 is three, the three gantry frames 2 have the same radius of curvature, and the height of the middle gantry frame 2 is greater than the height of the two side gantry frames 2, so as to form an arc-shaped roof that is high in the middle and low on both sides.

[0036] In this embodiment, the height of the middle gantry 2 is higher than that of the two sides. Combined with the consistent radius of curvature, the roof naturally forms a symmetrical arc-shaped surface with a "high in the middle and low on both sides". Rainwater does not need to rely on local slopes and can quickly flow along the curved surface from the top center to the two gantry 2 on both sides, forming two independent drainage paths. The drainage speed is greatly improved compared to a single arc-shaped roof, solving the problem of easy water accumulation in traditional flat roofs or single arc-shaped roofs.

[0037] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model has a reasonable design and simple structure. By utilizing the height of the container itself, the height of the support columns is shortened, saving column materials and facilitating packing. Simultaneously, using the side walls of the container as the two side walls of the tent eliminates the need for additional side wall materials, reducing material consumption. All components of the tent are detachable. When the tent needs to be moved, all tent materials can be disassembled and placed inside the container for transportation, reducing transportation costs and the risk of component damage. The container serves as an installation platform, reducing the steps of ground fixing and improving overall support strength. Furthermore, by welding U-shaped components onto the container and using a base, a rigid connection structure can be quickly formed, simplifying the construction process and enabling rapid disassembly and movement of the tent. This utility model optimizes the arrangement of the roof purlins, with a gradually denser design from the edge to the center. Combined with the curved roof structure of the curved beams, this enhances the roof structural strength and facilitates rapid rainwater drainage, preventing water accumulation and extending the tent's service life.

[0038] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
