As shown in fig. 1-3, in one embodiment of the present utility model, there is provided a modular container comprising:

at least two boxes 10 connected in sequence along the length direction, wherein the ends of the two boxes 10 close to each other form openings 11 respectively and are arranged oppositely;

bottom connecting structures 20 respectively connected to bottom edges 112 of the two openings 11 to connect bottoms of the two cases 10;

top connection structures 30 respectively connected to top edges 113 of the two openings 11 to connect the tops of the two openings 11;

the corner post connecting structures 40 are respectively connected with the side vertical corner posts 114 of the two openings 11 to connect the sides of the two openings 11 in the width direction.

Specifically, when two containers are combined in an end-to-end manner, the two boxes 10 are communicated, and the forms of 10, 20, 40, 10, 30, 40, etc. can be formed. The two ends of the storage box/logistics box with the length of 20 or 40 is equal to a standard storage box/logistics box with two open ends. The combined container has the advantages that the two boxes 10 are integrally hoisted and stacked very conveniently, and can be just clamped on the clamping groove on the deck surface of the container ship. Can completely meet the requirements of shipment and loading of full cargo.

The bottom connecting structure 20 is connected with the bottoms of the two boxes 10 opposite to the opening 11, the top connecting structure 30 is connected with the tops of the two boxes 10 opposite to the opening 11, the corner column connecting structure 40 is connected with the side vertical corner columns 114 of the two boxes 10 opposite to the width direction of the opening 11, and thus the double boxes 10 are good in structural tightness and strong in rigidity.

By implementing the utility model, the purchasing cost is obviously reduced without purchasing a connector with a complex structure; the two connected containers have enough overall strength, can pass the transverse rigidity test, can be suitable for the sea transportation scene of high stacking, do not need to be particularly placed at a low position and pay higher cost, and greatly save the transportation cost.

In addition, after the utility model reaches the destination, the connecting structure of the two combined boxes 10 can be disassembled to separate the two boxes 10, and the end openings 11 of the two boxes 10 are respectively blocked to form a small (standard 10-ruler, 20-ruler and 30-ruler) storage box/logistics box.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the bottom connecting structure 20 includes a bottom connecting plate 21, two widthwise edges of the bottom connecting plate 21 are welded to bottom edges 112 of the two openings 11, respectively, and the bottom connecting plate 21 is flush with the bottom edges 112 of the openings 11.

Specifically, the two side edges of the bottom connecting plate 21 in the width direction are welded with the bottom edges 112 of the two openings 11 respectively, and the connection mode is firm and the tensile strength is high; the bottom web 21 is flush with the surface of the bottom edge 112 of the opening 11 and does not interfere with the movement and transfer of the cargo inside the two boxes 10.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the top connection structure 30 includes a top connection plate 31, and two side edges of the top connection plate 31 in the width direction are respectively overlapped with top edges 113 of the two openings 11 from above and welded together.

Specifically, the two side edges of the top connecting plate 31 in the width direction are respectively lapped on the top edges 113 of the two openings 11 and welded with the top edges 113 of the two openings 11, so that the connecting area is large, the tensile strength is high, the joints at the connecting positions are tight, and the tightness of the container is improved; because the top edges 113 of the openings 11 are recessed, the top edges 113 of two connected openings 11 can be matched to form a groove after being connected, and accumulated water at the top can be discharged to two sides of the box body 10 along the length direction of the top connecting plate 31 in the groove.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, the corner post connecting structure 40 includes corner post connecting plates 41, and two lateral edges of the corner post connecting plates 41 in the width direction overlap with the two lateral vertical corner posts 114 of the opening 11 from the inner side of the case 10 and are welded together.

Specifically, the edges on two sides of the corner post connecting plate 41 in the width direction are respectively lapped on the side vertical corner posts 114 of the two openings 11 and welded with the side vertical corner posts 114 of the two openings 11, the connecting area is large, the tensile strength is high, the joints of the joints are tightly lapped from the inner side of the box body, and water drops cannot enter, so that the sealing performance of the container is improved.

Referring to fig. 1 and 6, in some embodiments, four corners of the opening 11 of the case 10 are provided with reinforcing corner pieces 115, respectively; an angle connector 50 is provided between the two corresponding reinforcement angles 115.

Specifically, on one hand, the reinforcing corner pieces 115 additionally arranged at four corners improve the strength of the end openings 11 of the box body 10, and on the other hand, every two corresponding reinforcing corner pieces 115 at four corners between the two openings 11 are connected through the corner connecting piece 50, so that the overall rigidity of the four corner connecting positions of the two box bodies 10 can be improved.

In some embodiments, the corner connector is welded to the reinforcement corner fitting. The welded connection strength is extremely high, and the welded connection strength is used as the corner connecting piece 50, so that the four corner connecting parts of the two boxes 10 can be prevented from breaking or twisting deformation, and the use safety is greatly improved.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the distance L between two corresponding reinforcement angles 115 is 76mm.

Specifically, the container industry mainly uses standard 10-gauge boxes, 20-gauge boxes, or 30-gauge boxes, 10-gauge=2991 mm, 20-gauge=6058 mm, 30-gauge=9125 mm, 40-gauge=12192 mm. Calculated, 2991 (10 rule) +76+2991 (10 rule) =6058 (20 rule), 6058 (20 rule) +76+6058 (20 rule) =12192 (40 rule), 2991 (10 rule) +76+9125 (30 rule) =12192 (40 rule), 2991 (10 rule) +76+6058 (20 rule) =9125 (30 rule), and thus, the distance L between the two positions corresponding to the reinforcement angles 115 is 76mm; in addition, when L takes 76mm, the connecting part between the two boxes 10 is not easy to bend due to the overlarge distance L, so that the rigidity of the connecting part is improved; and the construction space is not narrow due to the too small distance L, so that the installation is convenient to implement.

In some embodiments, the case 10 is a 10-gauge case, a 20-gauge case, or a 30-gauge case. The container body 10 of the present embodiment is consistent with the size of a mainstream container and can be adapted for use with conventional containers.
