Trailer Container Fixing Plate for Simultaneous Neck Securing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fixing structures for trailers transporting high-pressure hydrogen gas storage containers require individual fixation of each container, leading to prolonged loading and unloading times and increased transportation costs due to additional manpower.
Innovation Solution
A high-pressure fluid storage container fixing structure for trailer loading that includes a main frame along the trailer's periphery, a fixing plate extending in the direction of the containers to simultaneously fix their neck portions, and auxiliary angles providing reinforcing forces. This structure allows for the safe fixation of arrays of high-pressure fluid storage containers stacked vertically on a trailer as a unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If individual fixation of each container is adopted, then safety during transportation is improved, but loading and unloading time increases and transportation costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual container fixations into a single group fixation system. The fixing plate structure simultaneously secures multiple containers (arranged in parallel in horizontal direction and stacked vertically) to the trailer frame, transforming the process from individual fixation to collective fixation, thereby reducing loading/unloading time while maintaining transportation safety
2Reliability
If individual fixation of each container is adopted, then safety during transportation is improved, but transportation costs increase due to additional manpower
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing plate integrates multiple fixation points into a single operational unit, allowing workers to secure or release multiple containers simultaneously rather than handling each container separately. This merging of fixation functions directly improves transportation efficiency by reducing the manpower and time required for loading and unloading operations
3Quantity of substance
If multiple containers are stacked vertically, then transportation capacity is improved, but structural stability becomes more difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The invention addresses vertical stacking stability by extending the fixing plate in the horizontal direction to span across multiple vertically stacked containers. This dimensional extension allows the fixing structure to engage containers at different vertical levels simultaneously, distributing the stabilizing force across the stacked arrangement and maintaining structural integrity while maximizing transportation capacity
