Background

For standard shipping containers, the upper and lower stacks are relatively fixed by means of intermediate twist locks. Currently, manual twist locks, semi-automatic twist locks and full-automatic twist locks are used on the market. But in practice so-called fully automatic twist locks are not really automatic and require manual placement at the bottom corners of the container. For thousands of twistlocks, a lot of manpower and time are consumed. In addition, manual operation involves safety problems, which not only is a potential safety hazard to human beings, but also faces cargo safety risks caused by possible human errors.

The existing full-automatic container twist lock is not automatically operated in the whole process, although automatic lock falling and lock lifting can be realized, the twist lock needs to be manually installed into a bottom corner of a container before sailing, and needs to be disassembled after transportation is finished, the full-automatic twist lock on the market is in a structural form shown in the following figure and is an independent mechanism, the upper end of the full-automatic container twist lock is inserted into the bottom corner of an upper layer container, the lower end of the full-automatic container twist lock is pressed into a top corner of a lower layer container by the gravity of the container, the full-automatic container twist lock can be clamped without twisting due to the special shape of a lock head, the end of the container is lifted firstly during disassembly, and the lock head can be separated from the top corner due to the special shape of the lock head, but the.

Therefore, there is a need to improve on such configurations to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages.
