It is to be understood that the invention is capable of other embodiments and that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention and the description and drawings are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a tank container 10 and an end frame 100 thereof. The tank container 10 of the present embodiment includes a tank body 11 and end frames 100 provided at both ends of the tank body 11.
The end bell 100 includes a connecting ring 110, a corner fitting 120, and a support structure 130. The connection ring 110 is used to connect the tank 11 of the tank container 10. The corner piece 120 is provided at the outer periphery of the connection ring 110. The support structure 130 connects the corner fitting 120 with the connection ring 110 so that the end bell 100 effectively supports both ends of the tank container 10.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the tank 11 includes a cylinder and end sockets 12 at two ends of the cylinder. The tank container 10 further comprises a coupling ring (not shown). The connecting ring is arranged on the end enclosure 12 of the tank body 11, and the connecting ring 110 of the end frame 100 is connected with the connecting ring. The connection ring may be sleeved on the connection ring 110 and welded to the inner side wall or the outer side wall of the connection ring 110, or may be directly butt-welded or fillet-welded to the connection ring 110. The connecting ring and the tank body 11 can be connected in a matched manner, so that the tank body 11 can be conveniently connected with the connecting ring 110, and the connecting strength of the connecting ring 110 and the tank body 11 is enhanced.
The connection ring 110 is an annular structure formed by square steel, round steel, angle steel or I-shaped steel.
In other embodiments, the outer side wall of the connecting ring 110 is cylindrical, and the inner side wall of the connecting ring 110 at the end away from the tank 11 is cut, and the cut gradually approaches the outer side wall of the connecting ring 110 along the axial direction of the connecting ring 110. The cut surface forms a flange structure on the outer end surface of the connecting ring 110, and the flange structure can better disperse the stress from the tank 11.
The corner fitting 120 is for connection to a container. The corner fittings 120 generally correspond to the corners of the container, and when the end frame 100 is received in the container, the corner fittings 120 are smoothly connected to the corners of the container. Specifically in this embodiment, each end bell 100 includes four corner members 120. Every fourth corner member 120 is rectangular and in the same plane. The connecting ring 110 is parallel to or coincides with the plane in which the four corner pieces 120 lie. The plane of the connection ring 110 is specifically referred to as the outer end surface of the connection ring 110. The support structure 130 includes two angularly disposed braces 131. One end of each of the two braces 131 is connected to the corner fitting 120 corresponding to the supporting structure 130. The other ends of the two inclined struts 131 are fixedly connected with the connecting ring 110, and a gap is formed between the connection positions of the two inclined struts 131 and the connecting ring 110. Specifically, in this embodiment, each end frame 100 includes four sets of support structures 130, and the support structures 130 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the corner members 120. Each set of support structures 130 includes two braces 131 disposed at an included angle. Specifically, the connection rings 110 are parallel to or coincide with the plane in which the four sets of support structures 130 lie. The lateral stress of the can body 11 is dispersed by the connection ring 110 to the top corner of the container through the corner fitting 120. The connection ring 110 is parallel to or coincident with the plane of the four corner pieces 120, so that the connection ring 110 can uniformly distribute stress to the corner pieces 120 through the support structure 130, and the stress balance of the end frame 100 is ensured.
The four sets of supporting structures 130 are arranged on the outer circumference of the connecting ring 110 in a central symmetrical manner about the center of the connecting ring 120, and correspondingly, the four corner pieces 120 are also arranged in a central symmetrical manner about the center of the connecting ring 110.
The two inclined struts 131 are fixedly connected with the outer surface of the connection ring 110. Specifically, the sprags 131 are fixedly welded to the outer surface of the connection ring 110. It is understood that the inclined strut 131 may be disposed through the connection ring 110; alternatively, the inclined strut 131 is fixedly connected to the connection ring 110 by a bolt, or the like.
Referring to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, an included angle 132 between two inclined struts 131 is an acute angle. The included angle is an acute angle, so that the diagonal brace 131 can meet the requirement of the position of the corner piece 120 under the condition of the smallest length as possible, so as to reduce the weight of the supporting structure 130. Specifically, the acute angle is 25 degrees to 80 degrees, which can reduce the weight of the supporting structure 130 while ensuring the strength of the supporting structure 130.
Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the inclined strut 131 is a tubular structure. For example, square tubes or round tubes, etc. The support structure 130 further comprises a sealing plate 133, and the sealing plate 133 covers one side of the two inclined struts 131. The closing plate 133 is connected to the inclined struts 131 in a sealing manner from at least one side of the two inclined struts 131. In other embodiments, the cover plates 133 are two and spaced apart. The two closing plates 133 are respectively connected with the two inclined struts 131 and enclose to form a box-shaped structure. The closing plate 133 covers the two braces 131 to form a box-shaped structure, so as to enhance the strength of the supporting structure 130. The closing plate 133 is a rib plate to improve the strength of the support structure 130.
In other embodiments, the brace 131 may also be a plate-like structure. The strength of the diagonal brace 131 can be satisfied by increasing the plate thickness of the plate-shaped diagonal brace and using a plate material having high strength. The support structure 130 also includes a cover plate 133, and the cover plate 133 covers one side of the two braces 131. In other embodiments, the cover plates 133 are two and spaced apart. The two closing plates 133 are respectively connected to the two inclined struts 131 and enclose the two inclined struts 131 to form a box-shaped structure. The strength of the box-like structure satisfies the supporting strength of the end bell 100. One end of the sealing plate 133 adjacent to the connection ring 110 is fixedly coupled to the connection ring 110. The inertial force of the can 11 is dispersed to the cover plate 133 through the connection ring 110.
In other embodiments, when the brace 131 is a plate-shaped structure, the sealing plate 133 may be integrated with the brace 131 to reduce the number of welds between the brace 131 and the sealing plate 133 and enhance the strength of the support structure 130.
A reinforcing structure (not shown) is also provided between the connection ring 110 and the support structure 130. The reinforcing structure comprises a first reinforcing plate and a second reinforcing plate which are vertically arranged. A first reinforcing plate is fixedly provided on the surface of the support structure 130, and a second reinforcing plate is perpendicular to the first reinforcing plate and perpendicular to the outer sidewall of the connection ring 110. And, two sides of the second reinforcing plate are fixedly connected with the first reinforcing plate and the outer side wall of the connection ring 110, respectively. Specifically, the first reinforcing plate and the second reinforcing plate are steel plates, and the first reinforcing plate and the second reinforcing plate are connected to the supporting structure 130, the connecting ring 110, and the second reinforcing plate by welding.
In other embodiments, the number of the supporting structures 130 is not limited to four as in the above embodiments, the end frame includes at least one supporting structure 130, and the other supporting structures 130 can be replaced by the existing structures capable of supporting. The end frame can also realize the effects of simplifying the structure of the end frame and reducing the occupied space and the quality of the end frame.
In addition, when the tank container 10 does not need to be stacked, the two top supporting structures 130 of the end frame can be directly removed, or a supporting or hoisting structure can be additionally arranged at the middle position of the top of the end frame after the two top supporting structures 130 are removed. The end bell includes two support structures 130.
Referring to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, two end frames 100 of the tank container 10 are a front end frame 101 and a rear end frame 102. Both ends of the can 11 are connected to the connection rings 110 of the front and rear frames 101 and 102, respectively.
A bottom side beam 150 is also provided between the two end frames 100. Both ends of the bottom side member 150 are connected to the two end frames 100, respectively. The bottom side members 150 are two and are respectively located between the front end frame 101 and the rear end frame 102. Each of the bottom side members 150 has opposite ends connected to the opposite corner pieces 120 of the end frames 100, respectively.
In other embodiments, the tank container 10 further includes side braces (not shown). One end of the side brace is connected to the corner piece 120 of the end frame 100 and the other end is connected to the side wall of the can 11. The side braces are supported between the corner pieces 120 and the side walls of the tank 11. Specifically, the number of the side sprags is four, and the side sprags are divided into two groups. The two groups of side inclined struts are respectively used for supporting two ends of the tank body 11. Each set of side braces is located at one end of the tank 11. The space that the side bracing took is less, convenient and practical.
The tank 11 and the container can be fixed by the end frame 100. The end frame 100 can be fixed to the container by a connecting ring 110 and a supporting structure 130. Compared with the conventional end frame 100, the end frame 100 of the embodiment has a simple structure, occupies a small space, and is lightweight.
Moreover, the number of parts of the end frame 100 is greatly reduced, so that the end frame is easy to manufacture in a standardized manner, the number of welding seams is reduced, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
