Advantageously, the connecting arm 34,37 that connects three casing 30-32 guarantees that all casings of freight container synchronously and equably move between non-expanded position and expanded position, and vice versa.
Advantageously, connecting arm 33-38 is accommodated in the side accommodation section 39 that for this reason arranges, thereby any structural constituent that makes freight container does not protrude outside the parallelepiped 40 that the free wall by casing 30-32 limits, thus, this freight container can be stacked on and/or fit on other freight container, and purpose is to realize that it deposits or transport.These side accommodation sections 39 at this corresponding to the recess in the side of casing 30-32.
Connecting arm 33-38 is installed into rotary moveable on casing 30-32, is used for guaranteeing relatively moving of each casing.Connecting arm 33-38 for example comprises connecting rod.
When these cabinet end opposite ends of the expanded position at freight container arrange, be used for one or more surface 40,41 of the casing 30-32 that contacts with another tank surface, have separately the shape of the surface complementarity that cooperates with this surface with the expanded position that is used at freight container.Thereby the cooperation mutually of the surface of two continuous casings that connect thus, be used for the floating structure locks in place.
This freight container on its non-expanded position can in be connected to cuboid 42, wherein, at the freight container of its non-expanded position, by the white space between the wall of casing 30-32 and this regular hexahedron 42, separated.Thereby the wall of this cuboid 42 is formed by the stacking free wall that casing 30-32 forms at least partly.On the one hand the white space between casing 30-32 and on the other hand the accumulative percent of stacking free wall and the white space between parallelepiped 42 be about this parallelepiped internal volume 15%.
Figure 12 is illustrated schematically in the section-drawing of the freight container with inflation element of water surface expanded position, and for simple consideration, the freight container on expanded position is shown as single block 43.
One of these inflation elements 44 have takes from trapezoidal fundamental section, has simultaneously with the seamed edge in the bight of height sphering and makes the minimized continuous surface of shape fracture, and meanwhile, other inflation element 45,46 has round section.Rear two inflation elements 45,46 are connected to each other by screen cloth (toile) 47, thereby form continuous surface between these inflation elements, and the shape fracture is minimized.
