Detailed Description

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that embodiments of the invention may be practiced without one or more of these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in order to avoid obscuring embodiments of the present invention.

In the following description, a detailed structure will be presented for a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. It is apparent that the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, however, the invention is capable of other embodiments in addition to those detailed.

First embodiment

A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a container. The container is of a generally rectangular parallelepiped configuration. The container includes an end opening at the rear end of the container (the left end of the container in fig. 4), an end door 160 disposed at the end opening, an end panel at one of the front ends of the container (the right end of the container in fig. 4), a top panel, a bottom frame, and side panels. A floor 190 is provided on the undercarriage. The side panels, end doors 160, top panel and bottom frame of the container enclose an interior space of the container for placing cargo. The end door 160 is used to open the end opening.

Refer to fig. 4 to 6. The container includes 4 corner posts 130, 2 top end beams 170, 2 bottom end beams 180, 2 top side beams 110, and 2 bottom side beams 120 located at 4 corners of the container. At the rear end of the container, 2 corner posts 130, 1 top end beam 170 and 1 bottom end beam 180 enclose a rectangular rear end frame. The rear end frame encloses the end opening. At the front end of the container, 2 corner posts 130, 1 top end beam 170 and 1 bottom end beam 180 enclose a rectangular front end frame. The end plate is arranged in the front end frame.

The cross-sectional shape of the top side member 110 is any one of a rectangular shape, an i-shape, a C-shape, and a Z-shape. It is to be understood that when the cross-sectional shape of the side roof rail 110 is Z-shaped, the cross-sectional shape of the side roof rail 110 may be a forward Z-shape, a reverse Z-shape with the direction opposite to the Z-shape, or a double Z-shape in which the forward Z-shape and the reverse Z-shape are combined. The cross-sectional shape of the bottom side member 120 is any one of a rectangular shape, an i-shape, a C-shape, a Z-shape, a double Z-shape, and a reverse Z-shape. It is to be understood that when the cross-sectional shape of the bottom side beam 120 is Z-shaped, the cross-sectional shape of the bottom side beam 120 may be a forward Z-shape, a reverse Z-shape with the direction opposite to the Z-shape, or a double Z-shape combining the forward Z-shape and the reverse Z-shape. Thus, the selection of the top side member 110 and the bottom side member 120 can be facilitated. In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the roof side rail 110 is rectangular. The cross-sectional shape of the bottom side member 120 is double Z-shaped.

The two top side beams 110 are disposed at intervals in the width direction of the container on the top of the container. Each top side beam 110 is located at the top of one side of the container. The two bottom side members 120 are disposed at intervals in the width direction of the container at the bottom of the container. Each bottom side beam 120 is located at the bottom end of one side of the container. In other words, 4 corner posts 130, 2 top end beams 170, 2 bottom end beams 180, 2 top side beams 110, and 2 bottom side beams 120 bound the rectangular parallelepiped frame of the container.

With continued reference to fig. 4 and 6, the height dimension D of the top side members 110 is greater than the height dimension E of the bottom side members 120 in the height direction of the container. The height dimension D of the top side beam 110 is greater than the height dimension of the top side beam 110 of a standard container (a container conforming to ISO668 standard) when the height dimension E of the bottom side beam 120 is the same as the height dimension of the bottom side beam 120 of the standard container. Thereby, the strength of the sides of the container can be increased.

With continued reference to fig. 4-6. The container also includes a connection assembly 140. The connection assembly 140 includes a connection beam. Each side of the container is provided with a connecting beam. There is a space between the connecting beam and the corner post 130 at each side of the container. The top end of the connection beam is fixedly connected (e.g., welded) to the top side beam 110. The bottom ends of the connecting beams are fixedly connected (e.g., welded) to the bottom side beams 120. Thus, the connection assembly 140 may increase the strength of the container side.

At the first side of the container, at the space between the connecting beam and the corner post 130, there is a side plate connecting the connecting beam of the first side and the corner post 130.

And two connecting beams arranged at intervals are arranged at the second side part of the container. The two connection beams can effectively increase the strength of the second side portion. A side plate is provided at a space between the connection beam of the second side portion and the corner post 130, and the side plate connects the connection beam of the second side portion and the corner post 130. The two connecting beams of the second side and the top side beam 110 and the bottom side beam 120 of the second side enclose the side openings of the container. The user can load and unload goods from the side opening to the inner space of the container.

In this embodiment, the coupling beam may transmit the force acting on the top side beam 110 or the bottom side beam 120 of the container, support the bottom side beam 120 and the bottom side beam 120, and reinforce the strength of the side portion of the container.

Preferably, the connection beam is made of any one of a rectangular pipe, an i-shaped beam, and a C-shaped beam. In the present embodiment, the connection beam is made of a rectangular tube.

In this embodiment, the container further includes two side doors 150 disposed at the side openings. Each side door 150 is pivotally connected to one of the connecting beams. Thus, the two side doors 150 constitute the split side doors 150. Two side doors 150 are used to open or close side openings of the container.

Preferably, the side opening is located substantially midway of the second side portion. It will be appreciated that in embodiments not shown, both sides of the container may be provided with side openings. At least two connecting assemblies may be provided on the first and second sides at spaced intervals along the length of the container.

Turning to fig. 6, the upper surfaces of the bottom side beams 120, the bottom end beams 180, and the floor 190 of the container are substantially flush. The height of the bottom side member 120 of the present embodiment is substantially the same as the height of a standard container. Thus, the strength of the sides of the container is increased relative to the prior art of increasing the height of the bottom side beams 120. In the present embodiment, the height dimension D of the bottom side member 120 is small in the height direction of the container, and the height of the upper surface of the bottom side member 120 is low. And thus the upper surfaces of the floor 190 and the bottom end beam 180 are low. While the size and position of the top end beam are unchanged, so that the height dimension M of the end opening in the height direction of the container is large. Therefore, the loading and unloading machinery (forklift) can conveniently get in and out the container from the end opening to load and unload goods.

Since the height dimension E of the bottom side member 120 is small, the floor height is low, and the height dimension H of the internal space of the container in the height direction of the container is large. Thus, the loading and unloading machine (forklift) can move in the inner space of the container conveniently to load and unload cargoes. And the inner space of the container can be filled with more goods.

And for the side opening, since the height dimension D of the top side member 110 is large and the height dimension E of the bottom side member 120 is small, the lower surface of the top side member 110 and the upper surface of the bottom side member 120 compensate each other. Therefore, the height dimension N of the end opening of the container in the height direction of the container is substantially the same as the height dimension N of the end opening of the conventional container.

Preferably, the height dimension M of the end opening is greater than or equal to the minimum door frame opening height of the container as specified by ISO 668. Therefore, the loading and unloading machinery (forklift) can conveniently get in and out the container from the end opening to load and unload goods. The height dimension H of the interior space is greater than or equal to the minimum interior height of the container specified in ISO 668. Thus, the loading and unloading machine (forklift) can move in the inner space of the container conveniently to load and unload cargoes. And the inner space of the container can be filled with more goods. Preferably, a container having a height of 8 feet has an end opening with a height dimension of 2134mm or more and a minimum height of the interior space of the container of 2197mm or more.

In this embodiment, the height dimension D of the top side member 110 is greater than the height dimension E of the bottom side member 120, so that the strength of the side portion of the container can be increased or decreased, and the upper surfaces of the bottom end member 180 and the bottom side member 120 are substantially flush with the upper surface of the floor 190, so that the height dimension M of the end opening of the container can be increased, the height dimension H of the interior space of the container can be increased, and the size of the side opening can be decreased without decreasing the size of the side opening, thereby facilitating the loading and unloading of the cargo.

Second embodiment

The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the following way:

as shown in fig. 7 to 9, in the second embodiment, one connecting assembly 240 is provided in the second side portion of the container. The connection assembly 240 includes 2 connection beams 241 and a connection wall plate 242 connecting the 2 connection beams 241. The top end of each connecting beam 241 is connected to the top side beam 210 of the container. The bottom end of each connecting beam 241 is connected to the bottom side beam 220 of the container. The entire connecting assembly 240 can thus add strength to the second side of the container.

The connection assembly 240 is disposed at a substantially middle position of the second side of the container in a length direction of the container. Thus, the connecting assembly 240 can better support the bottom side rail 220 and the top side rail 210, and the strength of the side of the container is large.

In the second embodiment, in the second side portion of the container, the side door 260 includes a first side door and a second side door. The connection assembly 240, the top side beam 210, the bottom side beam 220 and the corner post 230 at the rear end of the container enclose a first side opening. The first side opening is provided with a first side door. The first side door is pivotally connected to a corner post 230 located at the rear end of the container (at the rear end frame). The first side door is used to open or close a first side opening of the container. The connection assembly 240, the top side beam 210, the bottom side beam 220 and the corner post 230 at the front end of the container enclose a second side opening. A second side door is arranged at the second side opening. The second side door is pivotally connected to a corner post 230 at the front end of the container (at the front end frame). The second side door is used for opening or closing a second side opening of the container.

In this embodiment, the entire coupling assembly 240 composed of 2 coupling beams 241 and coupling wall plates 242 is detachably provided at the second side portion of the container. Thus, the first and second side doors are opened and the connecting assembly 240 is removed. In this way the entire second side portion can be fully opened. Thereby further facilitating the handling of goods.
