Description of drawings
Followingly illustrate in greater detail the present invention with reference to accompanying drawing.Wherein,
Fig. 1 illustrates the block diagram according to the twist lock of the first embodiment of the present invention,
Fig. 2 illustrates the block diagram of twist lock according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and
Fig. 3 illustrates the lateral plan of the part of twist lock shown in Fig. 2.
The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 illustrates the block diagram according to the twist lock of the first embodiment of the present invention.This twist lock consists essentially of core 10 and two locking pieces 14, and these two locking pieces are separately positioned on the place, two ends of core 10.Being fixed on described two locking pieces 14 is corresponding lever 16, and lever 16 radially extends with respect to the longitudinal axis of core 10.Turning handle 12 is fixed to core 10.
In two ends of core 10 each is provided with outside thread.Negative thread in the hole in described outside thread and each locking piece matches, and makes these two locking pieces can be screwed on two ends of core 10, and promptly right-hand screw thread matches with minus thread.
Because the rotation of turning handle, so core 10 rotates, and the locking piece 14 that cooperates with core 10 depends on the direction of rotation and moves away from each other or towards each other.Thereby, can make the position of these locking pieces be adapted to the spacing of transportation device in simple mode.
Two levers 16 on described two locking pieces 14 are used for rotating these locking pieces in following mode: when these locking pieces 14 are positioned at predetermined lengthwise position with respect to the angle annex on the transportation device, connect between transportation device and twist lock.Lever 16 is arranged so that vertically or radially that with respect to the longitudinal axis of core 10 locking piece 14 can simply rotatablely move for the purpose of locking or release.
As is known in the art, twist lock remains in the annex of angle by undercutting (undercut) structure.For this reason, this angle annex is hollow in inside and has at least one hole that the length in described hole is greater than width.Has cooresponding with it size to be assembled to the locking piece in the annex of angle 14.Therefore, locking piece 14 can be assembled in the annex of described angle.
So when locking piece 14 turns over about 90 when spending by lever 16, the extending longitudinally of locking piece extends along the Width of described angle annex split shed.Because the extending longitudinally of locking piece 14 is greater than A/F, thus locking piece 14 cooperate with described angle annex with undercut construction and no longer can remove therefrom, unless at first backward rotation 90 is spent.
Turning handle 12 is cylindrical structural and have outside thread at least one end preferably, can screw nut on this outside thread.Therefore,, make this turning handle can pass the hole in the core 10, can twist back corresponding nut then for of inserting in 12, two nuts of turning handle does not tighten.This makes turning handle 12 easily to insert or to remove.
Fig. 2 illustrates the block diagram of twist lock according to a second embodiment of the present invention.This twist lock is identical with the illustrated project organization of reference Fig. 1 basically and have core 11 and turning handle 13, has two locking pieces 15 on two ends of core 11.The difference of the essence between the twist lock shown in first and second embodiment is, the structure of two locking pieces locating in the end of corresponding core 10 and 11 and their length.
This locking piece has end panel 15c, and end panel 15c has and has basically the size that equates with opening in the annex of angle.This end panel is connected to the threaded portion of locking piece 15 by the narrower limb shape 15b of portion, and end panel 15c is outstanding in the direction towards turning handle 13, promptly protrudes in described limb shape portion towards core.
Because turning handle 13 rotates, locking piece 15 can be moved in the desired position and be assembled to the transportation device of two vicinities or the angle annex of freight container in.Then, turning handle 13 is moved in the following manner: make described two locking pieces move towards one another.This causes these end panel to be bonded in the annex of angle with undercut construction and set up force closure between described device and angle annex and relevant transportation device connecting.
Yet, at this moment there is the gap in the outside of these locking pieces, this gap is corresponding with the size that the undercutting of described end panel in the annex of angle engages basically.So, for fear of by mistake discharging described device, at least one binding 17 is set, binding 17 can vertically or radially move with respect to core 11 along the direction of the limb shape 15b of portion, binding 17 is full of opening in the annex of angle at least to such degree, if make and do not transfer to binding 17, the undercutting relation of the end panel of locking piece engages at least can be not entirely ineffective, thereby can by mistake not make it to lose efficacy.
Fig. 3 illustrates the lateral plan from the twist lock of Fig. 2.Locking piece 15a has open-work 19 at this.Core 11 according to device of the present invention can be discerned by open-work 19.The appropriate location of this open-work 19 can guarantee: as long as still can see or feel core 11 in open-work 19, being connected between core 11 and the locking piece 15a all is enough in any case so.This makes and can prevent to leave installing incorrectly that locking piece 15a far and unintentionally causes very much because core 11 is rotated.
According to the interchangeable embodiment of twist lock, two ends of corresponding core do not have outside thread but are provided with some through holes at the respective end place of core.Described two locking pieces all have corresponding through hole, and these through holes are corresponding with the through hole in the core basically.In order to change the spacing between described two locking pieces at place, two ends of core, inserted link or rod can pass the opening in the described locking piece and pass through hole in the described core.
In this embodiment, because the adjusting of the spacing between two locking pieces do not realize by the center of turn part, so do not need turning handle 12 and 13.
