The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, however, the invention is capable of other embodiments in addition to those detailed.

The utility model provides a container. The container can be used for transporting bulk cargo such as cement powder, fly ash, lime powder and the like. The container can discharge the bulk cargo in the container through the later screw conveyor 130.

Referring to fig. 1 to 9, the container includes a container body 110. The case 110 has side walls 111, a top wall 122, a bottom frame 116, and end walls 112. The side walls 111, top wall 122, bottom frame 116, and end walls 112 are configured in a generally rectangular parallelepiped configuration.

As shown in fig. 3 to 8, the case 110 further has a slider 113. The material sliding portion 113 includes a material sliding plate. The slip plates include a first slip plate 114 and a second slip plate 115. The upper end of the first material plate 114 is connected to the inner side surface of the side wall 111. The first material sliding plate 114 is inclined from top to bottom toward a direction near the center of the case 110 in the width direction of the case 110. Such that the first material slide plate 114 is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction.

The upper end of the second material plate 115 is connected to the inner side surface of the end wall 112. The second material plate 115 is inclined toward a direction near the center of the case 110 from top to bottom along the length direction of the case 110. So that the second material plate 115 is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction.

A first material sliding plate 114 is connected to each of the two side walls 111 of the case 110. A second material slide plate 115 is connected to both end walls 112 of the case 110. Thus, the first material plate 114 and the second material plate 115 form an annular structure with a large top and a small bottom. Therefore, the bulk cargo at the bottom of the box body can be collected in the later first shell 139 and further discharged from the first shell 139, and the bulk cargo accumulated at other positions in the box body is avoided.

Referring to fig. 3, 6, 7 and 9, the container further includes a screw conveyor 130. The screw conveyor 130 has a housing 131 and a screw shaft 132. The housing 131 includes a first housing 139 and a second housing 140. The cross section of the first housing 139 (the cross section is perpendicular to the length direction of the case 110) is configured in a first U-shaped configuration. The opening 133 of the first U-shaped structure faces upward and is located directly below the lower end of the sliding portion 113.

When the bulk cargo is loaded into the box body 110 through the inlet port, the bulk cargo can directly enter the first housing 139 through the opening 133 of the first housing 139 by its own weight. Or slide down the inner side of the slider 113 and enter the first housing 139 through the opening 133 of the first housing 139. The bottom edge of the first U-shaped structure is arc-shaped. Thus, bulk cargo accumulated in the first housing 139 can be reduced without manually discharging the bulk cargo again.

Preferably, the upper end of the first housing 139 is connected to the lower end of the slider portion 113. This simplifies the structure of the case 110.

The second case 140 is configured in a second U-shaped configuration in cross section (the cross section is perpendicular to the length direction of the case 110). The opening of the second U-shaped structure faces upwards. The bottom edge of the first U-shaped structure is overlapped with the bottom edge of the second U-shaped structure. Two sides of the first U-shaped structure are correspondingly connected with two sides of the second U-shaped structure one by one. Thus, portions of the first U-shaped structure are located within the second U-shaped structure. The second housing 140 supports the first housing 139. The plane where the bottom edge of the second U-shaped structure is located is horizontally arranged. In this way, the contact area between the second U-shaped structure and the bottom cross member 117 described later can be increased as much as possible. Thereby, the connection of the second housing 140 and the bottom cross member 117 is secured.

As shown in fig. 3, 4 and 9, the screw shaft 132 has a rotation shaft and a screw blade connected to an outer circumference of the rotation shaft.

As shown in fig. 4 and 9, the partial mounting beam 137 is connected to a first end (left end of the first housing 139 of fig. 3) of the first housing 139. The corresponding suspension bearing 138 is connected to the mounting beam 137. A first end (left end of the rotation shaft of fig. 3) of the rotation shaft of the screw shaft 132 is inserted through and connected to the hanger bearing 138. The auger assembly 130 further includes a bearing housing 190 located outside the first housing 139. A second end (right end of the rotation shaft of fig. 3) of the rotation shaft of the screw shaft 132 is coupled to the bearing housing 190 after protruding out of the first housing 139. Thus, the screw shaft 132 is rotatably connected to the first housing 139.

Preferably, the partial mounting beam 137 is attached to the first housing 139 at a substantially intermediate position. And its corresponding hanger bearing 138 is attached to the mounting beam 137. A substantially middle portion of the rotation shaft of the screw shaft 132 is inserted through and connected to the hanger bearing 138. Thus, the screw shaft 132 can be more firmly fixed. In an embodiment not shown, a plurality of mounting beams 137 and hanger bearings 138 may also be provided along the length of the case 110.

The first end of the first housing 139 is provided with a discharge opening 134. At least a part of the screw blade of the screw shaft 132 is located in the first housing 139. The helical blades in the first housing 139 have the same helical direction. This causes the screw shaft 132 to rotate so that the screw blades push the bulk cargo within the first housing 139, thereby moving the bulk cargo toward the discharge opening 134 to discharge the bulk cargo within the first housing 139 through the discharge opening 134. Preferably, the screw blade of the screw shaft 132 is located within the first housing 139.

In this embodiment, bulk cargo in the box 110 enters the housing 131 through the gravity, and the bulk cargo in the housing 131 can be discharged through the discharge port 134 by rotating the screw shaft 132. Thereby, the discharge of the bulk cargo in the case 110 is facilitated.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, 6 and 7, the undercarriage 116 has a bottom cross member 117. The bottom edge of the second U-shaped structure is lapped to the upper surface of the bottom cross member 117. In this way, the bottom cross member 117 supports the housing 131. Thereby, the case 131 can be more firmly fixed.

Preferably, referring to fig. 4 and 9, the screw conveyor 130 further includes a discharge valve 135. A discharge valve 135 is connected to the discharge port 134 for opening or closing the discharge port 134. Thus, the bulk cargo in the container is convenient to discharge.
