Abstract

The invention relates to receptacle and, in particular, containers. Conventional receptacles (containers) have the drawback in that the locking together of stacked containers has to be, up to now, carried out manually thus resulting in the workers in the harbor and on the ship being exposed to a considerable safety risk. In addition, it is left to the skill of the crane operator of exactly stacking the containers next to or atop one other. Adjusting devices for this do not exit. The aim of the invention is to provide a receptacle (container), which is equipped so that it can be horizontally locked with other like receptacles (containers) without manual action and which simultaneously enables an exact positioning of the container on the provided space. To this end, the invention provides that the receptacle comprises, on its outer surfaces, means such as U-shaped guide rails, which engage in like means of adjacent receptacle, exactly position the container in its location, and which horizontally lock the receptacles to one another.

Description

Self-locking, self-regulated container, particularly freight container

Technical field

The present invention relates to self-locking, self-regulated container and particularly freight container, it is applicable to the container that whole sizes is identical with moulding again in an identical manner, is provided with the hollow body that is used to hold interlock system on its outer wall.Below will illustrate in greater detail the present invention to the example of a freight container.

Background technology

The main in the world now transportation of adopting standardized freight container to realize the carrying goods.Freight container leaves the loading spot in, loading there, install to then on the vehicle (road vehicle or rolling stock), deliver to a harbour or airport where necessary, be loaded on the ship there or in the aircraft, then for transportation safely with other freight container interlocking and hitch (attachment strap is connected), be loaded into again on the vehicle at place of arrival, deliver to the appointed place and also unload there.

Transportation technology requires the i.e. loading and unloading of safety again fast of such freight container, in this respect the technology that the is adopted freight container of different size that must can adapt to, transport or interlock.Freight container is in the above to have hollow body respectively with following angular zone, and it has elliptical openings in its outside side.Can insert the interlock system of laying apparatu (freight container sparger) or leap heald frame in these elliptical openings, wherein these interlock systems have the end (reverse interlocking) of size less than the elliptical openings in the hollow body.In case this reverses interlocking and inserts hollow body, it is just reversed by machinery, thereby freight container can or be crossed over the heald frame interlocking and also can transport with the freight container sparger.When promoting, reverse be bearing in above the interlocking hollow body roof below on.

When must the reciprocal interlocking a plurality of folded mutually up and down and/or freight container that piles up side by side, for example this is essential to cargo especially, and this is debatable especially.The manual in this case interlocking of realizing, the freight container that is about to fold mutually up and down and/or be set up in parallel is by connecting and the blocking element reciprocal interlocking.This is consuming time and because injury danger is dangerous when connection is installed with blocking element.This is for example known by DE 100 42 458 and DE 101 04 067, and by container (freight container) reciprocal interlocking of an automatic interlock system with stacked on top, wherein the container of a plurality of such reciprocal interlockings (freight container) also can be used as the monoblock transportation.

Therefore solved the problem of vertical interlocking satisfactorily.

Summary of the invention

Therefore the objective of the invention is, a kind of container is provided, make not manual operations horizontal interlocking and occupy a position definite simultaneously just of its and other container of the same race with respect to the container of the same race of each adjacency but it is equipped to.

This purpose utilizes the feature of claim 1 to reach.Borrow its freight container arranged side by side and that be provided with in succession of can mechanically interlocking mutually, and do not need manual operations.By realizing freight container to be parked simultaneously according to the device of claim 4 and 5, thereby locate freight container to be parked definitely with respect to the freight container of each adjacency with respect to the adjustment of the freight container of having parked.

This purpose is according to the solution of claim 1, the device of the strip type that for example leads is set in the outside of freight container, these devices are embedded in the corresponding guiding lath of freight container of adjacency and therefore make freight container sedimentation from the top down, realize the interlocking of corresponding guiding lath and cause the interlocking of level simultaneously.

Major advantage of the present invention is, connects and makes in the harbour or the workman's that works on the ship injury danger reduces to minimum thereby cancelled general-duty manual interlocking so far or attachment strap.Thereby and save personnel, time and cost saving whereby to a great extent.

Device, that is the lath that for example leads can be U-shaped, hook-type or circular arc.It is contemplated that Any shape, need only the interlocking of the device of its freight container that can realize each adjacency.

Work as device, that is the lath that for example leads end in the above and/or following cuts sth. askew with descending from outside to inside, the guiding lath of each corresponding freight container has the gap mutually relatively, thereby their can relatively automatically be adjusted mutually.Therefore for crane operator, shunt, carry out the mutual accurate location of each freight container because he no longer must cross certain distance from driver's cab, but the device on the outside of freight container helps him to carry out auxiliary adjustment being simple.

Description of drawings

Below will the present invention be described by means of several embodiment, target wherein of the present invention never is limited to these embodiment.Wherein:

The birds-eye view of the freight container of the reciprocal interlocking of a plurality of levels of Fig. 1;

The transparent view of the interlock system of Fig. 2 outside;

The interlock system of Fig. 3 outside comprises the angle of respectively cutting sth. askew along line of vision A;

The situation of interlock system in the interlocking process of the outside of two freight containers of Fig. 4, it comprises the angle of respectively cutting sth. askew.

The specific embodiment

Fig. 1 partly illustrates and a plurality ofly in succession and freight container C1, the C2, C3 and the C4 that are set up in parallel comprises container angle 2, above the angle has interlocking housing 21 with following end at this, so-called angle foundry goods, and it has oval-shaped opening 211.Each freight container is interlocked by the interlock system (24) of outside mutually.That the interlock system (24) of each outside for example constitutes U-shaped and open in inside, thus the interlock system of the outside of the freight container of an adjacency (24) can pass completely through this interlock system.Handling process and parking period carry out all the time from the top down, thereby next freight container is positioned at the next door of first freight container from above when a freight container is parked in its position.The interlock system of the outside of second freight container can embed in the interlock system of outside of first freight container in this process, thereby not only interlocks, thereby and can guide second freight container and make it accurately be in its position.If transport a plurality of mutual freight containers and they should be in the next door of a plurality of freight containers that piled up, the interlock system that then will be in the outside of nethermost freight container in transit inserts and passes in the interlock system of outside of the freight container that topmost piles up, so that can insert in this case in the interlock system or the like of outside of the freight container that the next one piles up.Can carry out simultaneously the saving space and accurate layout of freight container whereby.

The interlock system of each outside can be arranged on the lateral parts of freight container.Advantageously be fixed on the container angle, as shown in fig. 1.

Fig. 2 illustrates a transparent view that is fixed on the container angle 2 or becomes the interlock system (24) of the outside of a binding with it.Interlock system (24) is positioned to make it not hinder passage to the oval-shaped opening of angle foundry goods on container angle 2.Angle foundry goods about unshowned end below container angle among Fig. 2 is like this equally.

It among Fig. 3 interlock system 24 by the outside that represent, that have each angle of cutting sth. askew from outside to inside of the line of vision A shown in Fig. 2.The interlock system of this outside comprises long side 241, a transverse sides 242 and a short side 243.Cut sth. askew from outside to inside in whole three side zones in the top with descending.Short side 243 can also be in addition its part surface 243 ' the zone in cut sth. askew so that insert the interlock system 24 of the outside of another freight container ".

At last, Fig. 4 illustrates the interlock system 24 by the outside of having an X-rayed by Fig. 3, wherein can embed the interlock system 24 of the outside of another freight container ".Only see transverse sides 242 by this perspective " outer wall.Therefore be shown in broken lines the side 241 " and 243 " of crested.Can find out short side 243 and " in the zone of its lower end, both have an inclination a who descends from outside to inside and also had an inclination b who from inside to outside descends.This makes short side 243, and " inner chamber of the interlock system 24 outside being convenient to slide into, this inner chamber is limited by the inner face of side 241,242 and 243.Can find out short side 243 " width less than the width of the inwall of transverse sides 242.Therefore short side 243 " has the gap when sliding into the interlock system 24 of outside.Because the side of cutting sth. askew and lack with descending from outside to inside in side 241,242 and 243 top zone 243 " the lower end also cut sth. askew, even in the handling labor of carelessness for the interlock system 24 of the interlock system 24 that slides into the outside outside also existing " enough motion spaces.

Because the interlock system of outside for example is made of the V2A steel the steel of sclerosis, needn't worry that it is damaged when the transportation of freight container or in sedimentation or when shunting.This is particularly like this when it becomes one to constitute with container angle.
