Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to locked component, relate to particularly for shipping container to assist the locked component of container loading, unloading and transportation.Equipment and the process of using this locked component moving containers is also discussed.
Background technology
All over the world, with freight container, transport and storage medium.Van container such as shipping container moves on land by port traffic and by truck or railway conventionally.Most of freight container comprises the housing (ISO corner casting) that is substantially rectangle on each case angle of freight container.These housings have hole conventionally on diapire or roof and each sidewall.In other words, hole is deviating from each surface of freight container.Generally, about 300kN can be supported in the hole in sidewall, and base apertures and top-portion apertures can only support about 150kN.Conventionally, when delivery container, by being connected to base apertures or top-portion apertures, come delivery container and freight container correspondingly by the most weak hole, to be connected.
Two or more freight containers of handling are simultaneously called as vertical series connection handling.This is restricted to the maximum weight of 20 tons, and can only be for the freight container on the deck of boats and ships.In fact, be also restricted to two empty containers or be the very freight container of underloading of three empty containers or two sometimes.The problem of this suspension transferring machine is that the hole that is allocated in handling is only rated for 150kN, and takes the ability at all casees angle of attached freight container safely of guaranteeing into consideration, and in some jurisdictions, actual loading is restricted to 75KN.
Use for the vertical series connection handling of a plurality of freight containers of handling only has very little application, in the world so far only for the suspension transferring machine of about 1-2%.If for example, because exist receiving end (not meet design, the availability of large-scale Jack, the change at harbour, strong wind, other mechanical breakdowns ...), can not ressemble vertical series connection handling layout and potentially boats and ships must yield and load and/or the danger of unloading, so the actual deck that cannot be used in mesh design ship of the handling of vertically connecting is following or those have in the freight container guiding piece on deck.Because guiding piece has covered completely for stoping approaching case corner casting, so ressembling of locking layout is almost impossible, allows to guiding piece and do not cover case corner casting completely, also have no chance another locking piece to be inserted in guiding piece.
And current accessory has conventionally for operating rope or the handle of this accessory.This rope/handle exceeds the edge of freight container to be given prominence to, thereby has the risk of handle/rope damage or the risk of the freight container that interference is arranged in underdeck guiding piece.
In addition, because cannot check the intensity of the joint between the case angle housing of attaching parts and freight container, so there is constraint in many handlings, all attaching partss engage with freight container and cause providing two extra safety factors on other safety factors, available overall load is reduced to far below 20 tons, and this does not meet sustainable economic development.
Between the freight container of standard, attaching parts also almost can not carry out independent identification, and has the extensive query about safeguarding that whether arrangement is enough.It seems, the maintenance system of standard is " fault is repaired ", and this is normally unacceptable and may cause workman injured and dead in overhead hoist.In addition, between current freight container, attaching parts is not designed to handling (only two freight containers being together locked on boats and ships), and this has limited the ability of attaching parts between freight container and to the expectation for a plurality of container in hoisting status.
Research to the failure mode of accessory in freight container shows, the intensity of accessory/container connector is often limited to container angle and particularly in the edge of conjugate foramen, bears the ability of very high partial load.This is combined with the high capacity that the restricted areas at the interface between accessory by freight container causes, causes accessory to puncture container angle and destroy and connects.Even if there is not this failure mode, strength of joint is also limited to the structural strength of accessory, and the structural strength of accessory is conventionally because it can be compromised to having the situation of parallel faces to compensate in for example corner casting and/or accessory.
Even if designed the mode that freight container is successfully connected into vertical stacking, still exist and how at some some places of conveyer chain, they to be divided into the problem of individual unit.
Also have following potential problem, that is, stackingly when a plurality of freight container of handling may run into the phenomenon that is called as " helicopter carries (helicoptering) ", this causes being difficult to accurately and locating container safely.
Therefore, need design to can be used for the method for the freight container of handling full capacity.Hole, end (and/or sidepiece) can be used to carry some loads but also be designed to controls freight container with standard mode, and ties up on the deck of boats and ships in the mode of safety.Also need to eliminate the uncertainty whether accurately engaging with freight container about accessory.

The specific embodiment
Schematically describe and clearly show that in Fig. 1 to Figure 10 and Figure 17 locked component 1 herein, it comprises pedestal 2 and a pair of arm 4, and a pair of arm 4 is from pedestal 2 along contrary direction longitudinal extension.Each arm 4 has near-end 5 and far-end 6, and wherein near-end 5 can engage with pedestal 2, and far-end 6 is away from pedestal 2.Arm 4 is conventionally coupled to each other and in the situation that being passed to it without any power, effectively passes through pedestal 2.The far-end 6 of arm 4 has blocking device or locking head 10, and blocking device or locking head 10 can move and be suitable for engaging that with the groove 20 of object 22 object 22 is locked onto on assembly 1 with respect to pedestal 2.In a preferred form, pedestal 2 is substantially pedestal axis or the plane AA of rectangular shape and restriction longitudinal extension.Similarly, arm 4 limits longitudinal extension arm axis BB, and the arm axis BB of longitudinal extension is substantially perpendicular to pedestal axis AA.Blocking device 10 can rotate around arm axis BB conventionally, and can move abreast with pedestal axis AA, so that blocking device 10 can be oriented to for example, engage with the groove 20 of object (, freight container 21 etc.).Blocking device 10 comprises tab element (tab member) 30, in the groove 20 of tab element 30 freight container 21 to be in use positioned at so that freight container 21 is locked onto to assembly 1.As Figure 12 is clearly shown that, shipping container 21 generally includes one or more grooves 20, and one or more grooves 20 are positioned at housing 50 places, one or more casees angle of freight container 21.The sidepiece and the groove on end 20 that are positioned at housing 50 can be than the more multiple amounts of groove carrying being positioned on the bottom that deviates from freight container 21.Tab element 30 sidewall or end wall preferred and freight container 21 are locked in groove 20 abreast.Tab element 30 can be along the planar slide parallel with pedestal axis AA to engage with each groove 20 of freight container 21.Assembly 1 also comprises for carry out the device 40 of moving locking device 10 with respect to pedestal 2.In a preferred form, mobile device 40 comprises that actuator 40(is clearly shown that as Figure 15 a to Figure 15 e, Figure 16 a to Figure 16 e and Figure 17), actuator 40 is preferably operationally associated with pedestal 2.Yet, it should be noted that actuator 40 or the mobile device that can utilize any typical type.In a preferred form, as Fig. 9 and Figure 10 are clearly shown that, arm 4 is integrally formed in together and with respect to pedestal 2, moves together with blocking device 10.Utilize the present invention, locked component 1 is suitable for by the corresponding groove 20 at freight container 21 is interior, blocking device 10 being engaged two freight containers 21 being linked together.In a kind of distortion and as Figure 10, be clearly shown that, can comprise that latch component 61 to transmit load between freight container.
Pedestal 2 is for holding handle or arm 4 and actuator 40.Pedestal 2 is also resisted shearing force and the compressive force between adjacent freight container 21.In addition, pedestal 2 is formed as by allowing actuator 40 to be attached to pedestal 2 to be convenient to actuating mechanism and to operate, thereby has reduced to be during operation applied to the power of actuator.
Actuator 40 be designed to transmit power from external source (manually or machine) with rotation head 30 for inserting or shifting out, and when needed along pedestal 2 translation arms 4 so that head 30 is engaged with end/sidepiece hole 20.When unload containers 21 in the situation that having wind, the present invention for example uses, for the stabiliser (, gyroscope) preventing or reduce to swing and arranges.
Thus, assembly 1 comprises by two load-carrying assemblies that locking head 10 forms that are attached to handle or arm 4.This locked component 1 engages with transmission power between them with container angle housing 50.This Li Keyin be mounted with freight container 21 vehicle motion and produce, or can be by one or more freight containers 21 and another freight container 21 are together promoted to the power producing.Locked component 1 can be in the housing 50 interior rotations of the case angle of existing freight container 21 or translation to engage with hole, end (or sidepiece) 20.Locking head 10 is designed to load mobile and that diffusion applies, and the power on balance handle or arm 4 is to prevent excessive moment of flexure.
Than existing device, assembly 1 allows more multi-load to be carried on case corner casting housing 50, and has equally greatly expanded the ability that simultaneously promotes a plurality of freight containers 21.Assembly 1 also allows to use belowdecks, use and carry out work with full and/or empty freight container 21 on deck.
Also can be by automated machine or operating assembly 1 manually.The cluster that can comprise actuating device 40.Core actuator 40 can adopt multiple different configuration according to application.Wherein there are two kinds of main Types: the machine that can ressemble thering is a pile freight container 21 of assembly 1 accessory being inserted into, and also insert or remove those machines of assembly 1.These machine (not shown) are designed to the assembly of a plurality of freight containers 21 1 to move apart conveyor zones.
Assembly 1 can comprise that " intelligent label " or similar identification technology load historical so that keep properly to follow the trail of the use of assembly 1 with it.
For the loading and unloading capacity of carrying safely the ability of a plurality of freight containers-need to revise a little to allow its carrying SLU but increasing every machine in " Safe Loading Unit(safe loading unit) " (SLU, not shown).The example of this respect comprises: on the boats and ships of the unhappiness that permission fast bunding/solution bundle and removal workman are potential and dangerous working space, separate bundle platform.Lower and wider trailer bus (bombcart) can carry one or more SLU.Suspension bracket (straddle) is added to simple load restriction with steady load when carrying SLU.Optional suspender (spreader) design (standard suspender but use can security improvement the locked component 1 of heavy load more).The automatic guided vehicle (AGV, not shown) of significantly revising can carry SLU, and the disconnection of further revising permission hoisting crane/AGV cycle is to reduce required capital quantity.At exchange sequence or during assembling SLU or dismounting SLU, in the situation that there is no machine, simple magazine does not allow the SLU with assembly 1 to be positioned on road surface.
Assembly 1 utilizes undeveloped ability in case corner casting housing 50, thereby has greatly improved the load-carrying capacity of assembly 1.This is undertaken by following two kinds of major ways: contact area is larger than standard lock, has increased to lock 10 and be pulled through the bottom/top of case corner casting housing 50 and failed threshold value load.Assembly 1 engages with one or more sidepieces hole 20 of ISO fitting housing 50, and the sidepiece hole 20 of ISO fitting housing 50 is rated the twice of the load in bottom/top hole.Alternatively, in another embodiment, locked component 1 can be dependent on the use of fully loaded case corner casting 50.
As mentioned above, retained high capacity hole 20 for other knot installations.In order to overcome this problem, assembly 1 is designed to from the region being retained, retract when not needing to create safety jaw transportation unit,, during a plurality of freight containers of handling, the use in hole 20 is reasonably, but when other knot installations of needs when (as above deck) head 30 be removed and received completely.By removing this restriction, assembly 1 allows operator to optimize the load of hoisting crane, and likely in future, develops more high-capacity hoisting crane.As mentioned above, in optional embodiment, locked component 1 can be dependent on the use of fully loaded case corner casting 50.
Assembly 1 has been designed to allow at the scene and has ressembled rapidly, and can for example, form with () four SLU load boats and ships in origin thus, and with single freight container 21 forms, unloads boats and ships at harbour.For example, according to the following destination of the composition weight distribution of freight container 21, the ability of the ability of hoisting crane, harbor accommodation and freight container 21 (, SLU will arrange quilt transhipment etc. aboard with twin), weather condition etc., the actual size of SLU can change.
Assembly 1 also allows to ressemble under deck.Can be from the end of freight container 21 or from sidepiece at " between guide portion " operational lock assembly 1, approaching so that guide portion can not stop.When being equipped with whole load by assembly 1, without extra accessory is inserted into stacking in.
Together with the assembly 1 that activated machine design.Actuator 40 is little and light, so that between its configurable freight container 21 heaps on boats and ships (comprising the freight container of 20 feet being stored in 40 feet of unit).Allow thus the freight container of 20 feet suitably retrained belowdecks and removed above deck with underdeck little but significantly stacks as high limit.To increase the loading alerting ability of boats and ships thus, and will increase the total potential load of boats and ships in some cases.
In a preferred form, as Figure 15 a to Figure 15 e is clearly shown that, actuator 40 is for having the simple Linear actuator of stop position separately.Actuator 40 can be from arbitrary termination of pedestal 2 nearly assembly 1, so that larger flexibility of operation to be provided, and particularly provide can the freight container 21 in being stored in guide portion on or the ability that operates between freight container 21 heaps of 20 feet.
Figure 11 a to Figure 11 c, Figure 12 a to Figure 12 c and Figure 16 a to Figure 16 l show the method that head or blocking device 30 can rotate by the interaction between the guiding arm 60 for supporting head part 70 and the actuator 40 of linear constraint via handle or arm 4.
Side is together used with assembly 1 process that platform will be treated by minimizing the quantity of reversed assembly 1 and greatly accelerate solution bundle of tying up above deck.Each SLU only need to cancel 4 assemblies.By automatic or semi-automatic external actuator (not shown) is provided, ties up platform and can allow reaching 6 stacking bundles of separating simultaneously.
In the situation that there is no binding rod, also operatorless actuator 40 is deployed to the chance on stacking.Although need wharf crane that equipment is removed to new stacking, this will greatly reduce the loading time and " non-rentability " is mobile, and will reduce the whole time being consumed by the activity of tying up in harbour.
Another advantage is, by use, ties up the longer binding rod of the potential exploitation of platform.This will further reduce the load restraint of boats and ships, and increases and load alerting ability and increased potentially overall load potentially.
Assembly 1 and actuator 40(external drive actuator) " intelligent label " or similar technology will be equipped with.This can follow the trail of work life and the service history of assembly 1, and then guarantees that expection carries out the time-based or maintenance based on situation and overcome usual problem relevant to twistlock state in service.
Also can use in the same manner one to remove-reconfigure device (de-reconfigurator) (not shown) with actuator 40, but add for promoting with two separating piled freight containers 21, inserting or remove the ability of assembly 1.This allows automation and the preparation that removes from hoisting crane (not shown) congested simply by SLU, and then keeps hoisting crane to work under fully loaded and guarantee that feed vehicle (suspension bracket, trailer etc.) can proceed.Removing-reconfigure device is placed on stacking top or will himself be placed on the stacking top (mobile edition) of freight container 21.Load command on boats and ships has been arranged in stacking order.Unit falls from stacking both sides, and engages with every pair of freight container by the corner casting of freight container.Small-sized hydraulic jack (not shown) handling freight container 21, allows simple index mechanism that assembly 1 is inserted in the freight container 21 on top.Then the freight container 21 on top is lowered, and assembly 1 automatically engages with corner casting 50.Then, actuator 40 is pushed into latched position by assembly 1.Assembly 1 departs from and guides downwards so that next freight container 21 connects.Remove as the anti-process of this process.Therefore, assembly 1 allows from special sleeve loading and unloading, thereby without human intervention in the situation that, allows machine to process safely a large amount of accessories.Alternatively, also there is another version that is used for the stacking freight container 21 of release simply, assembly 1 is stayed to the bottom of each freight container 21.After this processing, remove assembly 1-and be located near car door or in another object, wherein assembly 1 is used in the situation that freight container 21 is attached to vehicle without the actuator exiting.
How the actuator 40 that Figure 15 a to Figure 15 e and Figure 16 a to Figure 16 l show assembly 1 provides the example of four kinds of mode of operations.The actual physical arrangement of parts is variable, for example, can add power-transfer clutch to prevent excessive deflation.
At I1 place, can be observed nut 200 and arrived end cap 202(position E) and cannot be moved further.If needed, it can be loaded away from end cap keep-spring.This moves to the arm being positioned on handle 26 range and head 10 is moved to I1 position (referring to Figure 16 a to Figure 16 l).
In I1 position, the head 10 on top aligns with the long limit in corner casting hole.In this position, accessory is retracted from upper-part centralized vanning 21.In a preferred method, this position can be by applying external force or also locking it in place thus to obtain by actuator 40 being operated to this position to head 108.At the head of this middle and lower part, position and the long axis in hole, tilt a little (15 degree), assembly 1 is locked in bottom freight container 21.In other forms, it can be approximately 12 to 20 degree.
At I2 place, nut 200 has moved to position D.By use actuator 40 that nut 200 is placed in to position E or by head 10 is applied to external force so that head 10 antagonistic springs 212 reach I1 position, can be moved further support 210(therefore mobile handle 206).
At I2 place, this position is the position of aliging in the head 10 of bottom and the long limit in corner casting hole.In this position, assembly 1 can exit from the freight container 21 of bottom.In a preferred method, this position can by head 10, apply external force or by actuator 40 is operated to this position and lock it in place thus or antagonistic spring 212 by its maintenance put in place (this depends on version) obtain.And in this position, the head 10 on top becomes 15 degree with the long axis in hole, thereby assembly 1 is locked in upper-part centralized vanning 21.By freight container 21 being placed in this position, on assembly, by permission, it is connected to freight container 21 automatically, and this automatic insertion for assembly 1 is useful.
At TL place, under this pattern, show two positions.In these two positions, nut 200 is in position C.In the figure on top, assembly 1 is standing, is not wherein applied with external force rotation head 10.This is equivalent to head 10 and as spot on boats and ships, is inserted in corner casting 50.In the figure of bottom, can observe external force (by head 10 is directly pushed in support 210) antagonistic spring 212 support 210 is moved to the position identical with I2.Difference is, when removing external force, support 210 will return to rest position.
At TL place or twistlock position (twistlock position) locate, this position goes to them by head 10 and can bear and tie up the load a certain position of (as on boats and ships).When from above or below when freight container 21 is pushed assembly 1, this position is also configured to allow head 10 to move and spring 212 returns.This position class is similar to traditional twistlock.The object of doing is like this, is not needing that assembly 1 is moved to Safelok
tMin the situation of position (SL), allow the routine of boats and ships (next) to load.
At SL(Safelok
tMposition) locate, top illustrate following layout, its medium-height trestle 210(therefore head 10) keep and Safelok
tMaligned in position, but spring 212 only remains on this position by head 10.Nut 200 is in A place, position.
In the figure of bottom, nut 200 is now in B place, position.In this position because support 210 has been biased as physics stop (being expressed as triangle), so the possibility that has less motion or not have to move.The in the situation that of movement actuator not 40, head 10 cannot move.
At SL(Safelok
tMposition) locate, the further pitch of the laps of head 10 moves.Here, two heads 10 are placed with that slightly 90 Du-it is according to loading assembly 1 and the position of Yan Qiang with every side.In this position, actuator 40 is locked into place, and takes action movement actuator 40 otherwise actuator 40 cannot move except involuntary.In this position, assembly is that the fault of safety failure-spring 212Huo mechanism will make assembly 1 stay in perch.
Advantageously, in embodiment, locked component be constituted as by compatibility/elastomeric surface relatively by its load transfer the groove to freight container.The deform ation prevention that this is surperficial excessive local loading make accessory puncture corner casting or make the local overload of tab element.
In addition, provide for the device of electronics or mechanical chain is provided between accessory, made until all correctly engage and be verified as in Safelok for four accessories of carry load
tMfour accessories (if present) of position and below are suitably engaged or handling just occurs in separation.
Although described the present invention with reference to concrete example, those skilled in the art should be clear and definite, can implement the present invention with many other forms.
