Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the field of freight container.
  • a main body of an ordinary freight container includes a container body enclosed by a bottom portion, a top portion, two side portions, a rear end and a front end, as well as a corner fitting at each corner of the container body.
  • Fig. 1 is a top view of an existing 20' container 200;
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the container shown in Fig. 1 ;
  • Fig. 3 is another side view thereof.
  • a front end 22 is provided with a corrugated plate 24, and concave and convex portions of the corrugated plate 24 are arranged symmetrically relative to a central line of the front end 22.
  • a rear end 23 is provided with a locking device 25, and locking bars 251 of the locking device 25 are provided symmetrically on two doors.
  • a cornner fitting 26 is positioned at each corner of the container. The position of each corner fitting and the distance therebetween accord with the ISO requirement, such that a sling fitting may be mounted for lifting.
  • a 20' container should have an outer container length of 6058mm, i.e., an outer distance between two corner fittings along a longitudinal direction is 6058mm, and an inner container length generally smaller than 6 meters.
  • a 40' container should have an outer container length of 12192mm and an inner container length generally smaller than 12.05 meters.
  • a 45' container should have an outer container length of 13716mm and an inner container length generally smaller than 13.6 meters.
  • the ISO 20' container may not contain five rows of pallets.
  • ten rows of pallets may be theoretically arranged in the ISO 40' container, that will, however, cause a waste to the inner container space when the ISO container is used for shipping pallets, that is because, in practice, the ten rows of pallets have to be arranged with enough space intervals left between the pallets (a general inner length has to be greater than 12060mm).
  • the present invention provides a freight container, so as to enlarge the inner container size.
  • the present invention provides a freight container, comprising a container body and corner fittings provided at each corner of the container body, the container body comprising a bottom portion, a top portion, two side portions and two end portions, wherein at least an end portion is provided with locking devices or corrugated plates, the locking devices or corrugated plates protrude beyond an outer edges of the corner fittings, and the position of each corner fitting and the distance therebetween accord with ISO standards.
  • the present invention has the advantageous effect of compared with the prior art: in the present invention, the inner container length is enlarged by extending outwards the rear end and/or front end to the outer edges of the locking device and/or corrugated plate protruding beyond the corner fittings.
  • the pallet container increased number of pallets can be placed, and the cabin space can be fully used.
  • the position of the corner fitting and relative distance therebetween are kept unchanged and accord with the ISO standard, hence the alignment of the sling fitting and corner fitting are not influenced, and there will not be interference between the container corner fitting and the T-shaped bar inside the cabin when the container is placed into the cabin.
  • the improved container may have the enlarged inner space while adapting shape requirements of the existing standard products, such as a standard pallet or T-shaped bar. Further, compared with the containers provided with locking bars having special structure presented in the background section, the present invention can be easily implemented and has smaller manufacturing difficulty.
  • the present invention provides a freight container comprising a container body 1 and corner fittings 2 provided at each corner of the container body 1.
  • the container body comprises a bottom portion 10, a top portion 20, two side portions 30 and two end portions 40, 50. Wherein at least one end portion is provided with a locking device 60 or a corrugated plate 70.
  • the locking device or corrugated plate protrudes beyond the outer edge of the corner fitting 2, and the position of each corner fitting and the distance therebetween accord with ISO standard.
  • This embodiment is described with reference to a 20' freight container.
  • the distance between two corner fittings along a longitudinal direction of the container is 6058mm, which distance is the same as that of the existing corner fitting and accord with the ISO standard of the 20' container.
  • An outer edges of the locking device 60 or corrugated plate 70 on the at least one end portion protrudes beyond an outer edges of the corner fittings at a distance of larger than 21mm.
  • the inner container length is larger than 6000mm, while the existing ordinary container has an inner container length of smaller than 6000mm.
  • the container of the present invention is able to contain more pallets.
  • the locking devices and corrugated plates each protrudes beyond the outer edges of the corner fittings at a distance of 50mm.
  • the inner container length is enlarged by extending outwards the rear end and/or the front end to the outer edge of the locking device or corrugated plate at this end beyond the corner fittings.
  • the number of pallets to be placed is increased (taking the 20' container as an example, the number of pallets to be placed is increased by 1 in comparison with the prior 20' container).
  • the position of the corner fitting and the distance therebetween is unchanged, hence the alignment of the sling fitting and corner fitting is not influenced.
  • the containers in the cabin are typically arranged between T-shaped bars (T-BAR) 3 corresponding to the corner fitting at the ISO standard position in the cabin.
  • the position of the corner fitting in the present invention are unchanged, they can be still placed correspondingly between the T-shaped bars 3, and there is no interference between the T-shaped bars 3 and the locking device and/or corrugated plate beyond the bound of the corner fitting.
  • Fig. 14 in the present embodiment, when the freight containers are placed in the cabin, two adjacent sides of two containers are imbedded with each other, breaking the distance limit between the corner fitting of the container and the T-shaped bar.
  • the outwards extending portion of the container may be filled into the relatively larger gap between the ends of the containers when the containers are arranged, and do not interference with the T-shaped bar.
  • the space in the cabin may be used effectively.
  • concave portions 71 and convex portions 72 of the corrugated plate 70 are arranged asymmetrically relative to a central line L1 of the front end.
  • the concave portions 71 and convex portion 72 of the corrugated plate 70 are arranged such that, as shown in Fig.
  • the corrugated plate 70 when the corrugated plate 70 is rotated at 180 degrees around an intersection point X of the corrugated plate 70 and the longitudinal central line L5 of the container body, the concave portions 71 of the corrugated plate 70 after rotating correspond to the convex portions 72 of the corrugated plate 70 before rotating, and the convex portions 72 of the corrugated plate 70 after rotating correspond to the concave portions 71 of the corrugated plate 70 before rotating.
  • the corrugated plate 70 is substantially central-symmetrical relative to the intersection point X.
  • the locking device 60 comprises a plurality of locking bars 61, said locking bars 61 being mounted asymmetrically on two doors of the rear end 40.
  • the number of the locking bars 61 is 4, and the locking bars 61 each has a distance D1, D2, D3 and D4 from a central line L2 of the rear end 40, the above distances being different from each other.
  • the convex portions of the front end and/or rear end of adjacent containers may be staggered when a plurality of containers are arranged, so as to avoid an impact.
  • the rear end is adjacent to the front end, and the locking bar of the rear end corresponds to the concave portion of the corrugated plate.
  • the concave portion of the corrugated plate of one container is aligned to the convex portion of the corrugated plate of the adjacent container, such that the convex portions of the two adjacent containers can be staggered.
  • the distance between adjacent corner fittings is always 76mm.
  • the 20' inner container length is maximized by fully using the space staggering.
  • the handles 62 on the two doors are at different heights.
  • the handle positions can be staggered, avoiding collision between the handles at the same height.
  • the freight container further comprises an end lintel which may be a door lintel 81 or a front lintel 82.
  • the door lintel 81 is provided on an upper side of the rear end along a transverse direction of the container, and a side of the door lintel 81 is extended outwards the container and beyond the locking bar 61.
  • the front lintel 82 is provided on an upper side of the front end along the transverse direction of the container, and a side of the front lintel 82 is extended outwards the container and beyond the corrugated plate 70.
  • the door lintel 81 or front lintel 82 has an edge shape corresponding to that of the corrugated plate 70; and at the side of the locking bar 61, the edge of the door lintel 81 or front lintel 82 is recessed at a position where it is not corresponding to the locking bar 61, such that the interference between the closely adjacent containers may be avoided when they are lifted up and down.
  • the freight container further comprises an end sill which may be a door sill 91 or a front sill 92.
