Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of containers adjustable in the direction of their length, and to a use of such adjustable containers.
  • the intermodal container is a box (preferably a parallelepiped), usually made of reusable and standardized steel used for storing and transporting goods.
  • the intermodal containerized freight transport system is global and enables the safe and efficient movement of goods.
  • the term "intermodal" indicates that the container can be moved from one mode of transport to another (maritime, river, rail, road) without breaking the load, that is to say without unloading and reloading the contents of the container.
  • the containers each have a unique identification mark governed by ISO 6346; their length generally varies from 8 feet (2.388 m) to 56 feet (17.07 m) and their height from 8 feet (2.438 m) to 9 feet 6 inches (2.9 m).
  • the capacity of the containers is often expressed in units equivalent to twenty feet (capacity equal to a length standard of 6.10 m x width 2.44 m). We will call them later the "ISO containers" because they must comply with the ISO requirements in force at the time of their manufacture; for example in transport to allow transport by truck, train, boat and / or barge. Reference may also be made to ISO 668: 1995 (which defines containers of 10, 20, 30 and 40 feet) and / or more recently to ISO 668: 2013.
  • the present invention thus relates to the field of ISO containers adjustable in the direction of their length, and more particularly to an optimized use of such adjustable ISO containers.
  • ISO standardization of container transport has greatly contributed to a streamlining of container transport on a global scale
  • the Applicant has developed a critical improvement to the container transport system which will allow for better management of containers. movements of goods around the world. Indeed, globalization leads to unbalanced container freight movements that can not be controlled and / or optimized because of the global scale of supply and demand. Containers that have traveled from one point to another often end up either in storage at the destination, or leave empty and / or partially filled to another destination. There is therefore a need for optimization of container transport while respecting the international standards in force.
  • FIG. WO2011110725 shows a modular set obtained by grouping the different containers together and attaching them to each other (this includes stacking) to form a house, a showroom, a place of leisure, ...
  • adjustable containers serve other purposes than the optimization of container transport, which manifests itself by the fact that they are often not ISO containers because they no longer meet ISO requirements. transport and container handling. This is probably due to the fact that the main application developed in recent decades on the Adjustable container base relates generically habitat as described above.
  • the present invention also relates to the use of a container for the transport of goods according to claim 9
  • the elongated configuration (“elongated mode”) according to the figure 1 illustrates a container of dimension B equivalent to a total length of forty (40) feet.
  • the compact configuration ("compact mode") of the container of the figure 1 - Although not illustrated - can easily be deduced from said figure when the two moving parts are entirely merged with the central part.
  • the compact configuration obtained by means of the container according to the figure 1 is a container of dimension A equivalent to a total length of twenty (20) feet.
  • the present invention is not limited to 20 and 40 foot containers - the advantages of the present invention can actually be achieved with containers having different dimensions in compact and / or elongated configuration - this type of combination of dimensions constitutes an embodiment according to the present invention as explained below.
  • adjustable container retains its ISO characteristics and requirements in all configurations, whether the latter are compact or elongated.
  • the adjustable container of the present invention includes corner pieces for securing said container and / or stacking it to other containers (and vice versa) in a conventional manner.
  • the container according to the present invention comprises at least four corner pieces either on its upper face or on its lower face; at least four corner pieces on each of these two faces, ie eight corner pieces.
  • corner pieces are arranged at the four / eight ends of the faces - in accordance with the ISO standards for existing containers and in force at the time of their manufacture (eg ISO 668: 1995 and, in particular, Annex A thereto) - in order to allow stacking and / or stowage.
  • the container according to the present invention also comprises at least four corner pieces either on its upper face or on its lower face; at least four corner pieces on each of these two faces, ie eight corner pieces. These corner pieces are arranged at the four / eight ends of the faces so as to allow stacking.
  • the movable lateral parts which merge with the fixed central part in compact mode have an identical length.
  • the moving lateral parts which merge with the fixed central part are included in said fixed central part in compact mode.
  • corner pieces of the moving parts will be removable so as not to disturb the movement of the moving parts inside the fixed part.
  • said container comprises at least sixteen corner pieces, of which at least eight are on its upper face and at least eight on its lower face; and of which at least eight are removable.
  • son containers is equipped with two pieces of removable top corners to allow the full entry of the son containers in the mother container. These pieces of corners that are moved with a screw guided by an oblong hole will be fixed at the desired position depending on the position of the son containers. If the wire containers are in closed position, to have dimension 20 feet these corner pieces will not be functional.
  • the wire containers also each have two corner pieces attached at the bottom.
  • the container will also be equipped with a pin pin which will be positioned according to the desired dimensions (45, 40, 30, 20, 10 ).
  • the present invention may also be provided with additional anchor points.
  • the two moving parts in the direction of the length of the container and deployable on either side of the fixed central portion are integral with the fixed central portion.
  • the integral system comprises two linear guide systems, allowing the mobility of the deployable parts relative to the fixed part of the container.
  • the integral system of the container according to the present invention comprises at least four linear guide systems of which at least two are on the upper walls and at least two on the lower walls; it may also advantageously add at least one linear guide system positioned on the longitudinal side walls of the container.
  • the integral system also comprises a rigid axis movable within the guide system, and of length substantially equivalent to the maximum length available on the corresponding wall of the fixed part.
  • This type of configuration allows the preservation of the ISO feature of the container in elongated mode and therefore its rigidity.
  • reference is made to the illustration of the figure 1 in this particular configuration approximately each half of said rigid axis will remain respectively fixed to the fixed part and the movable part.
  • a characteristic of configurations of this type is that the guide system of the left mobile part is not aligned with the guide system of the right-hand mobile part of the container.
  • the integral system also comprises safety stop systems for controlling the displacement of the moving parts between their position corresponding to the compact mode and their position corresponding to the elongate mode.
  • safety stop systems can be made by any appropriate means.
  • An illustrative stop-stop safety system is provided, which makes it possible to confer more stability on the moving parts.
  • the container comprises at least two safety stop systems, one for each mobile part.
  • the two integral parts of the fixed central part of the container and deployable on either side of said fixed central part are movable.
  • the dimensions of the moving parts which protrude on either side of the fixed part are identical.
  • the mobility of the deployable parts of the container according to the present invention can be provided by any suitable means; this mobility can be of autonomous or semi-autonomous type as explained below.
  • finite elements of resistance is the following: with a translation guide system by rollers placed laterally and that a system consisting of ball socket that will be placed at the top and bottom, the two son containers make lateral movements inside the mother container. This last guide system in translation by rolling elements makes it possible to ensure proper operation and reduces the phenomena of friction.
  • the solutions used were designed and manufactured from parts (standard guide elements).
  • the mother container is a welded structure in the form of a metal corridor.
  • the welded parts are simple and standard geometries that exist on the market.
  • the lateral sides are made from sheet metal, like conventional containers.
  • the ceiling is when made from sheets with EPE beams to ensure the maintenance and proper operation of the rails.
  • the mother container and to facilitate the movement of the son containers will also include sockets and pebbles. ( Figure 3,4 and 5 ).
  • each will be equipped with two pieces of removable top corners to allow full entry of the child containers in the mother container.
  • these pieces of corners which are moved with a screw guided by an oblong hole will be fixed at the desired position in depending on the position of the child containers. If the child containers are in closed position to have dimension 20 feet these corner pieces will not be functional.
  • the wire containers are in the open position, that is to say we will have a container of dimensions 40 feet, these corner pieces will be functional and will be used for fixing the containers and possibly handling the container.
  • the wire containers also each have two corner pieces attached at the bottom.
  • the mobility that is illustrated is of the "forced" type because it is carried out using a motorized machine (for example of the truck type, forklift, etc ...) which thus makes it possible to fire on the moving parts so as to deploy the container to its elongated mode and / or to push the moving parts to bring the container back to its compact mode.
  • a motorized machine for example of the truck type, forklift, etc .
  • the opening and closing as well as the assembly of the removable parts can be performed by a dedicated fixed station for this new type of container.
  • the adjustable ISO container can be easily adapted to become an automated system with variable structure.
  • cylindrical beams see figure 1
  • a rubber material can be used especially at the corners.
  • the eight adjustable ISO container corners may for example support the load of 5 40-foot containers; as for the handling, it can be performed by the 4 welded corners on the fixed central part.
  • each integral part must bear a maximum load of 7 tonnes of goods and the adjustable ISO container must not exceed 30 tonnes.
  • the adjustable container may be steel (eg S355 having a high yield strength).
  • the two moving parts can also comprise and / or be made of lighter materials while maintaining the characteristics of solidity and durability essential to the conservation of their ISO destination.
  • the removable parts may be of light material (eg aluminum alloy) to facilitate manual assembly. To ensure increased durability of an adjustable container in an aggressive environment, it is necessary to achieve a better resistance to corrosion. This is why we offer the metal coating because it offers excellent protection against corrosion.
  • the moving parts of the container comprise and / or consist of lighter materials than the fixed part. They can also be constituted by isothermal walls to have a refrigerated container in compact mode.
  • the present invention thus also relates to the use of an adjustable container according to claim 8.
  • An adjustable container according to the present invention thus makes it possible to considerably reduce the costs of transporting empty and / or partially filled containers.
  • an adjustable container according to the present invention contributes to the respect of the environment by optimizing the transport of goods and the number of empty trips. And finally improves the insulation of containers.
