Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cargo transport container technology, and in particular to a discharge port fixing clip for a container and the container itself. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid transportation places higher demands on transport equipment compared to general cargo transportation. Currently, neutral bulk containers are commonly used for transporting liquids. Neutral bulk containers typically include a base and four side plates, with an inner liner bag placed inside to hold the liquid. The base has channels, and the inner liner bag has a drain outlet. To ensure reliable transportation and convenient liquid drainage, the drain outlet is usually fixed to the channels in the base.

[0003] Currently, there are two main types of common container outlet fixing clips. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the first type is an integrated opening fixing clip. The fixing clip body has an opening channel in the middle, and clamping parts are provided on both sides of the channel. The upper end of the clamping parts is provided with an elastic guide rib (such as the existing published patent CN1040229343B for a discharge port fixing clip for medium-sized bulk containers). When installing the inner liner bag, the discharge port on the inner liner bag enters the channel through the opening of the opening fixing clip via the elastic guide rib. Then, the elastic guide rib resets and holds the discharge port in place within the channel, completing the installation of the discharge port. Because the elastic guide ribs and the fixing clip body are designed as a single unit, the inner lining bag discharge port needs to be pressed firmly under the elastic guide ribs on both sides during installation. When removing the inner lining bag discharge port, the elastic guide ribs on both sides need to be squeezed to the side to open the channel so that the inner lining bag discharge port can be removed. If the elastic guide ribs are squeezed too tightly to the discharge port, forcibly pulling out the discharge port may damage the elastic guide ribs. For this technical solution, since the elastic guide ribs and the fixing clip body are designed as a single unit, once the elastic guide ribs are damaged, a new fixing clip needs to be replaced, which has the disadvantage of short service life.

[0004] like Figure 2 As shown, the second type is a top-and-bottom snap-fit ​​discharge port fixing clip (such as the discharge port fixing clip in the existing published patent CN109353714A). The main body of the fixing clip includes a clamping part and an opening part. One end of the clamping part and one end of the opening part are rotatably connected. After rotating the opening part to close it with the clamping part, it can be connected by a locking structure. After the two are closed, they form a discharge port fixing channel in the middle. This fixing clip main body structure can switch between a closed state and an open state, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the discharge port in the middle and allowing free disassembly. However, the drawback of this type of fixing clip is that, due to its own structural limitations, the strength of the rotating connection is insufficient. In a container filled with liquid, the connection between the opening part and the clamping part is easily deformed by the pressure of the inner liner bag, which affects the service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a discharge port fixing clip for a container and a container, which solves the problem of short service life of integrated opening fixing clips and upper and lower snap-fit ​​discharge port fixing clips mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model discloses a discharge port fixing clip for a container, including a fixing clip body and at least one spring-loaded fastener. The fixing clip body is provided with a U-shaped slot, and the spring-loaded fastener is detachably connected to the upper end of the side wall of the U-shaped slot.

[0008] The snap fastener has an elastic guide rib on the side facing the U-shaped slot, and the elastic guide rib extends into the U-shaped slot.

[0009] Preferably, a cavity is provided inside the upper end of the side wall of the fixing clamp body, the spring fastener is snapped into the cavity, a second opening is provided on the side of the cavity facing the U-shaped groove, and the elastic guide rib extends through the second opening into the U-shaped groove.

[0010] Preferably, a first opening is formed at the junction of the cavity and the upper end face of the fixing clamp body, and the spring-loaded fastener is inserted into the cavity through the first opening.

[0011] Preferably, the cavity has lock holes on its front and rear side walls, and the snap fastener has lock hooks on its front and rear side walls, with the lock hooks being engaged in the lock holes.

[0012] Preferably, the lower part of the spring fastener is provided with a clearance area to avoid the elastic guide rib.

[0013] Preferably, elastic buckles are provided at the middle of both sides of the fixing clamp body, and the elastic buckles are embedded in the discharge port channel.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom edge of the fixing clamp body is provided with a protruding rib, which is embedded in the discharge port channel.

[0015] This utility model also discloses a container, including the above-mentioned discharge port fixing clip for the container, and a box body. The bottom of the box body is provided with a discharge port channel. An inner liner bag is placed inside the box body. The bottom of the inner liner bag is provided with a discharge port. The discharge port is located in the U-shaped slot and is locked and limited by the elastic guide rib. The fixing clip body is locked in the discharge port channel.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The discharge port fixing clip provided by this utility model is a detachable design. The spring-loaded fastener is inserted into the fixing clip body to limit the discharge port of the inner liner bag. Compared with the one-piece opening fixing clip, when removing the discharge port, the discharge port is slowly pulled upward. Even if the elastic guide rib is damaged due to long-term use, only the spring-loaded fastener needs to be removed and replaced with a new one, which greatly extends the service life of the fixing clip body and saves subsequent maintenance costs. Moreover, in this utility model, the fixing clip body is a whole, and the discharge port is located in the fixing clip body. The spring-loaded fastener only plays the role of limiting the upward displacement of the discharge port. Compared with the top and bottom snap-fit ​​discharge port fixing clip, it avoids the problem of easy deformation and reduced service life caused by the inner liner bag being full of liquid squeezing the connection between the opening and the clamping part.

[0032] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a discharge port fixing clip for a container, including a fixing clip body 1 and at least one spring-loaded fastener 2. The fixing clip body 1 has a U-shaped plate structure and a U-shaped groove 101 is provided on the fixing clip body 1. The spring-loaded fastener 2 is detachably connected to the upper end of the side wall of the fixing clip body 1. An elastic guide rib 201 is provided on the side of the spring-loaded fastener 2 facing the U-shaped groove 101, and the elastic guide rib 201 extends into the U-shaped groove 101. Specifically, a cavity 102 is provided in the upper end of the side walls on both sides of the fixing clip body 1. The spring-loaded fastener 2 is fitted into the cavity 102. A second opening 1022 is provided on the side of the cavity 102 facing the U-shaped groove 101. The elastic guide rib 201 extends through the second opening 1022 into the U-shaped groove 101.

[0034] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a first opening 1021 is formed at the junction of the cavity 102 and the upper end face of the fixing clamp body 1, and the spring fastener 2 is inserted into the cavity 102 through the first opening 1021.

[0035] To make the snap fastener 2 more secure, lock holes 1023 are provided on the front and rear side walls of the cavity 102, and lock hooks 203 are provided on the front and rear side walls of the snap fastener 2. After the snap fastener 2 is inserted into the cavity 102, the lock hooks 203 are engaged in the lock holes 1023.

[0036] In this embodiment, the elastic guide rib 201 has an L-shaped structure, including an upper long arm 2011 and a lower short arm 2012. The upper long arm 2011 is fixedly connected to the spring fastener 2, and the upper long arm 2011 and the lower short arm 2012 form a right angle structure with the right angle end facing the U-shaped slot 101. The lower part of the spring fastener 2 is provided with a clearance area 202 that avoids the lower short arm 2012 of the elastic guide rib 201. When installing the spring fastener 2, pinch the elastic guide rib 201 to bend it into the clearance area 202 and press it tightly against the spring fastener 2. Then, insert the lower ends of the elastic guide rib 201 and the spring fastener 2 into the bottom of the cavity 102 through the first opening 1021. When installing the discharge port 3, the elastic guide rib 201 is squeezed and deformed by the discharge port 3 and can bend and deform towards the clearance area 202.

[0037] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, this embodiment also discloses a container, including the aforementioned discharge port fixing clip for the container, and a box body 5. An inner liner bag is placed inside the box body 5, and a discharge port 3 is provided at the bottom of the inner liner bag. A discharge port channel 4 for placing the discharge port 3 is provided at the bottom of the box body 5 at a position corresponding to the discharge port 3. The discharge port 3 is located in a U-shaped slot 101 and is engaged and limited by an elastic guide rib 201. The fixing clip body 1 is engaged within the discharge port channel 4 of the box body 5.

[0038] Specifically, the fixing clamp body 1 has elastic buckles 103 on both sides of its center, and the discharge port channel 4 has insertion slots 401 on both sides inside the channel, which are engaged with the elastic buckles 103. The elastic buckles 103 are engaged in the insertion slots 401. The bottom edge of the fixing clamp body 1 has a raised rib 104, and the bottom edge inside the discharge port channel 4 has a corresponding groove 402, which is engaged in the groove 402, thereby restricting the movement of the fixing clamp body 1 along the channel direction of the discharge port channel 4. The fixing clamp body 1 and the discharge port channel 4 are assembled and installed using the elastic buckles 103 and the raised rib 104.

[0039] like Figures 9 to 10 As shown, the common discharge port 3 includes a fixing part 301 and a connecting part 302. The connecting part 302 is a threaded structure for connecting to the interface of the external device of the discharge port; the fixing part 301 is a hexagonal structure for connecting to the discharge port fixing clip. That is, the discharge port 3 is fixed to the discharge port channel of the container body 5 by the discharge port fixing clip, specifically, it is fixed between the two sides and the bottom inside the discharge port channel 4.

[0040] When installing the discharge port 3, the fixing part 301 is inserted downward from the upper opening of the U-shaped slot 101. During the insertion process, the fixing part 301 squeezes the elastic guide rib 201, causing the elastic guide rib 201 to deform and be squeezed into the cavity 102. After the fixing part 301 is inserted into the bottom of the U-shaped slot 101, it no longer contacts the elastic guide rib 201. The elastic guide rib 201 returns to the U-shaped slot 101 and is located above the fixing part 301. At the same time, the lower surface of the lower short arm 2012 of the elastic guide rib 201 is in close contact with the fixing part 301, thereby limiting the discharge port 3. The discharge port 3 is then installed.

[0041] like Figure 11 The diagram shown illustrates the installation effect of the discharge port channel 4 and the discharge port fixing clip, viewed from inside the housing 5. Figure 12 The image shown is a front view of the installation effect of the discharge port channel 4 and the discharge port fixing clip, viewed from the outside of the housing 5. In this embodiment, two slots 402 are provided, located on the left and right sides respectively. Each slot 402 includes two parallel vertical plates, forming a groove area between the two vertical plates. The protruding rib 104 is fitted into the groove between the two vertical plates, thereby restricting movement. When the fixing clip body 1 is installed, the protruding rib 104 is inserted into the slot 402, and the elastic buckle 103 is inserted into the socket 401.

[0042] The installation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] Installation process of the fixing clip body 1 and the spring fastener 2: With the elastic guide rib 201 of the spring fastener 2 facing the U-shaped slot 101, pinch the elastic guide rib 201 to deform and bend it into the avoidance area 202 and stick it tightly to the spring fastener 2. Insert the elastic guide rib 201 and the lower end of the spring fastener 2 into the bottom of the cavity 102 through the first opening 1021. After insertion, the locking hook 203 is engaged in the locking hole 1023. The elastic guide rib 201 passes through the second opening 1022 and extends into the area of ​​the U-shaped slot 101 due to its own elasticity. After both spring fasteners 2 are installed, insert the protruding rib 104 of the bottom edge of the fixing clip body 1 into the slot 402 of the bottom edge of the discharge channel 4. Insert the elastic buckles 103 on both sides of the fixing clip body 1 into the insertion ports 401 on both sides of the discharge channel 4. At this point, the installation of the fixing clip body 1 and the discharge channel 4 is completed.

[0044] Installation process of the inner lining bag discharge port 3: Insert the fixing part 301 of the discharge port 3 downwards from the opening of the U-shaped slot 101. During insertion, one included angle of the hexagon of the fixing part 301 faces downwards, causing the pair of adjacent inclined sides of the hexagon of the fixing part 301 facing downwards to press against the upper long arms 2011 on both sides, causing the elastic guide rib 201 to deform and be squeezed into the cavity 102. After the fixing part 301 is fully inserted into the bottom of the U-shaped slot 101, it no longer contacts the elastic guide rib 201. The elastic guide rib 201 returns to the U-shaped slot 101 and is locked above the fixing part 301, thereby limiting the discharge port 3. The discharge port 3 is now installed. When it is necessary to remove the discharge port 3, slowly pull the discharge port 3 upwards. During the pulling process, the pair of adjacent inclined sides of the hexagon of the fixing part 301 facing upwards will press against the lower short arm 2012, causing the elastic guide rib 201 to deform and be squeezed into the cavity 102, until the discharge port 3 is completely removed. Alternatively, to reduce damage to the elastic guide rib 201, before pulling out the discharge port 3 upwards, use a tool or manually squeeze the elastic guide rib 201 to press it into the cavity 102, and then pull out the discharge port 3 upwards without obstruction.

[0045] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
