First embodiment

Fig. 5 is a plan view of a coupling device for a container according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 6 is a sectional view of line C-C of fig. 5.

The container comprises a container body 110, which container body 110 is provided with connecting means 120. The connecting device 120 includes a connecting member 130 and a holder plate 140, and in the present embodiment, the connecting device 120 includes two connecting members 130 and one holder plate 140. Both ends of the holder plate 140 are connected to the case 110, respectively.

The connecting member 130 may be a bolt, a ring-grooved rivet, or a rivet. The connecting member 130 includes a large diameter part 131 and a small diameter part 132 connected to each other, and in the present embodiment, the connecting member 130 may be a rivet, the large diameter part 131 may be a head of the rivet, and the small diameter part 132 may be a straight rod of the rivet.

As shown in fig. 6, the holder plate 140 is configured as a semicircular recess including a base plate 141 and a connection plate 142, and in the present embodiment, the semicircular recess includes two connection plates 142, and the two connection plates 142 extend outward from both sides of the base plate 141, respectively. The support plate 140 is provided with a connection hole 150, the connection hole 150 includes a large hole 151, a small hole 152 and a transition hole 153, and the large hole 151 is communicated with the small hole 152 through the transition hole 153. The large hole 151 may be an elliptical hole or a circular hole. The small holes 152 may be elliptical holes or circular holes. The transition hole 153 is disposed between the large hole 151 and the small hole 152, and may be a long-strip-shaped hole or a circular hole. As shown in fig. 5, the connection hole 150 includes two large holes 151, two small holes 152, and two transition holes 153, and the two large holes 151 are respectively communicated with the two small holes 152 through the two transition holes 153. The base plate 141 may be correspondingly provided with two large holes 151, and the two connecting plates 142 may be respectively provided with two small holes 152.

In the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the aperture diameter D1 of the large hole 151 is not smaller than the dimension D2 of the large diameter portion 131, that is, the aperture diameter D1 of the large hole 151 may be equal to the dimension D2 of the large diameter portion 131, or may be larger than the dimension D2 of the large diameter portion 131. Thus, the large diameter portion 131 directly passes through the large hole 151 from the outside of the case 110 to enter the narrow space 170 between the holder plate 140 and the case 110, so that the space 170 can be entered without additionally forming the hole on the case 110 to the connector 130.

The small hole 152 communicates with the large hole 151 through the transition hole 153, as shown in fig. 5, a cross-sectional dimension D3 of the transition hole 153 perpendicular to a direction in which the small hole 152 communicates with the large hole 151 is smaller than a hole diameter D1 of the large hole 151, a cross-sectional dimension D3 of the transition hole 153 perpendicular to a direction in which the small hole 152 communicates with the large hole 151 is smaller than a dimension D2 of the large diameter portion 131 of the connecting portion, and a cross-sectional dimension D3 of the transition hole 153 perpendicular to a direction in which the small hole 152 communicates with the large hole 151 is larger than a dimension D4 of the small diameter portion 132. In this way, during the process that the connecting piece 130 moves from the large hole 151 to the transition hole 153, the transition hole 153 limits the connecting piece 130, and the connecting piece 130 is prevented from deviating during moving.

The cross-sectional dimension D3 of the transition hole 153 perpendicular to the direction of communication between the small hole 152 and the large hole 151 is not less than the hole diameter D5 of the small hole 152, i.e., the cross-sectional dimension D3 of the transition hole 153 perpendicular to the direction of communication between the small hole 152 and the large hole 151 may be equal to the hole diameter D5 of the small hole 152, or may be greater than the hole diameter D5 of the small hole 152, so that the small hole 152 and the transition hole 153 are in smooth transition. The dimension D2 of the large diameter part 131 of the connecting member 130 is larger than the diameter D5 of the small hole 152, the small diameter part 132 can be connected with the small hole 152 in a matching way, so that the connecting member 130 can move from the transition hole 153 to the small hole 152, the small diameter part 132 can move to the small hole 152 and is connected with the small hole 152 in a matching way, and the large diameter part 131 can be clamped at the outer side of the small hole 152, so that the small diameter part 132 is connected with the support plate 140 through the small hole 152.

Of course, in the embodiment not shown in the figure, the small hole can also be directly communicated with the large hole, the aperture of the large hole is not smaller than that of the small hole, the connecting piece can be directly moved into the small hole from the large hole, the moving stroke of the connecting piece is reduced, and the processing steps are also reduced.

Further, as shown in fig. 6, a plate 160 of a fitting connected to the container body 110 of the container is provided with a mounting hole 161, and the mounting hole 161 is identical to the hole diameter D5 of the small hole 152. The large diameter part 131 of the connecting piece 130 is placed in the large hole 151, the whole connecting piece 130 moves from the large hole 151 to the small hole 152, the small diameter part 132 of the connecting piece 130 can be matched and connected with the small hole 152, the mounting hole 161 of the accessory is arranged corresponding to the small hole 152, and the plate 160 is buckled to the support plate 140, so that the small diameter part 132 is matched and connected with the mounting hole 161, and the support plate 140 is connected with the accessory.

The invention also provides a container, which comprises the connecting device 120.

Second embodiment

Fig. 7 is a plan view of a coupling device for a container according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 8 is a sectional view of line D-D of fig. 7.

The present embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that the connection device 220 includes two connection members 230 and one holder plate 240, and the holder plate 240 is configured as a flat plate. The support plate 240 is provided with a connecting hole 250, the connecting hole 250 comprises two small holes 252, a large hole 251 and two transition holes 253, and the two small holes 252 are respectively communicated with the large hole 251 through the two transition holes 253. Thus, the two connecting members 230 can be moved into the two small holes 252 through the large holes 251, respectively, reducing the number of processing steps. Meanwhile, the accessories of the container can be connected with the box body through the support instead of being directly welded on the box body, so that the subsequent replacement and maintenance are convenient.
