Embodiments of the present invention disclose a container having an external structure as shown in FIG. In the picture

The middle portion of the container of the present invention is cut along the C direction, and a cross-sectional view as shown in Fig. 5 can be obtained to observe the structure of the cross section of the bottom side member 30. As can be seen from Fig. 5, the container of the embodiment of the present invention has a floor 10 on both sides of which are provided side bottom rails 30 which extend in the longitudinal direction of the container. A bottom cross member 50 is disposed between the bottom side members 30 on both sides of the floor panel 10, and the bottom cross member 50 is divided into a portion disposed below the floor panel 10 as shown in FIG. 5, and a container disposed in the container not shown in the drawings. The two portions of the bottom portion of the end face, these bottom beams 50 extend in the lateral direction of the container. A bottom cross member 50 is provided at the bottom of each of the two end faces of the container, and a plurality of bottom cross members 50 are disposed below the floor 10, and these bottom cross members 50 are spaced apart in the lateral direction of the container to support the floor panel 10. Next, the bottom portion of the container of the present invention is further cut in the direction of D in Fig. 5, and a cross-sectional view as shown in Fig. 9 can be obtained to observe the structure of the cross section of the bottom cross member 50. The positions of the bottom side rails 30 and the bottom cross members 50 are generally located at the bottom of the container.

In order to avoid the hidden pests and microorganisms on the bottom cross member 50, the bottom cross member 50 is constructed at least as a closed structure, or at least the bottom portion of the bottom cross member 50 extends in the vertical direction, and of course, can also be taken in the same container. The above two ways construct the structure in which the direction of the bottom beam extends toward the ground and does not have a bend. For example, a direction extending to the ground may form an angle with an appropriate angle of 70°, 80° or the like on the ground, or may be approximately Vertical to the ground (the angle formed with the ground is within a 90° tolerance of the verticality).

According to the container of the embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the bottom beam does not have a place for the pests and microorganisms to hide, thereby eliminating the possibility that the pests and microorganisms adhere to the bottom beam and spread around the container, and also simplify the container. The investigation work helps speed up the circulation of containers.

Alternatively, in order to avoid hiding of pests and microorganisms on the bottom side member 30, at least the bottom side of the bottom side member 30 is configured as a closed structure, or the bottom side member 30 is configured such that at least the bottom portion extends toward the ground in a non-bent manner. Of course, it is also possible to construct the bottom side members 30 in the same manner as described above in the same container. The meaning of the bottom side beam 30 extending at least to the ground in a non-bending manner can be referred to the previous description of the bottom beam 50, and details are not described herein again. The bottom side rail 30 and the bottom cross member 50 will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, as can be seen from Fig. 5, the bottom side member 30 is a rectangular tube which is integrally closed. The integrally closed bottom side member 30 does not have an open structure in the direction toward the lateral direction of the container, thereby eliminating the space for the pests and microorganisms to hide, and the square tube is also easy to process, low in cost, and reliable in supporting strength. advantage. In addition to the closed rectangular tube, the bottom side member 30 can also be a diamond tube known to those skilled in the art.

The bottom cross member 50 shown in Fig. 9 is similar to the bottom side cross member 30 of Fig. 5, and a rectangular tube is also used. Diamond tubes known to those skilled in the art can also be used.

The bottom side beam 30 and the bottom cross member 50 adopting the closed structure may adopt the above-mentioned standard shape closed structure such as a rectangular tube and a rhombic tube as a whole, or the bottom side beam 30 and the bottom cross member 50 as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. The bottom is configured as a closed structure having at least one inclined side.

Referring next to Fig. 6, the bottom of the bottom side member 30 is constructed as a closed triangular prism. Specifically, as can be further seen from Fig. 6, the bottom side member 30 includes a standing plate 31, a horizontal plate 33, and a slanting plate 35. The vertical plate 31 extends in the vertical direction, the horizontal plate 33 extends in the horizontal direction, and the vertical plate 31 and the horizontal plate 33 are connected in an L-shaped structure to serve as a support. The inclined plate 35 is then obliquely joined to the side of the horizontal plate 33 and the surface of the vertical plate 31 to form a closed triangular prism, which closes the bottom of the bottom side member 30, thereby preventing the entry of pests and microorganisms. At the same time, the bottom side member 30 of such a structure occupies less space while ensuring reliable supporting strength.

Similarly to the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the cross section of the bottom of the bottom side member 30 can also be constructed as a closed right-angled trapezoid as shown in Fig. 7. However, it should be noted at this time that the oblique side of the right-angled trapezoid needs to be located above as shown in Fig. 7, so as to avoid providing hidden places for pests and microorganisms.

In addition, the bottom of the bottom side member 30 may also be configured as a closed triangular prism as shown in FIG. 8. The triangular prism has a cross section approximately square and has two inclined sides, and the two inclined sides intersect to form. A projection that protrudes away from the bottom cross member 50. Of course, the bottom of the bottom side beam can also be constructed as other forms of polygonal prisms.

The bottom cross member 50 shown in Fig. 10 is similar to the bottom side cross member 30 of Fig. 6, and the bottom portion of the bottom cross member 50 is constructed in a closed triangular prism shape. The specific configuration of the triangular prism is as described above for the bottom side member 30. Alternatively, the bottom of the bottom cross member 50 may be constructed in accordance with the right-angled trapezoid shown in Fig. 7, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the oblique side of the right-angled trapezoid. Alternatively, it may be configured as a triangular prism whose cross section is approximately an equilateral triangle as shown in FIG. Of course, the bottom of the bottom beam can also be constructed in other forms of polygonal prisms.

According to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can reasonably predict other closed structures having one inclined side or a plurality of inclined sides „ but considering that it cannot be pests and diseases The object provides a hidden place, and those skilled in the art will place the beveled edge on the upper portion of the closed structure without placing the horizontal structure on the upper portion of the closed structure. Also, considering the limitation of the volume of the side beam and the bottom beam, and the container needs to meet certain design standards, those skilled in the art can reasonably set the number of inclined sides without setting an excessive number of inclined sides.

Next, in conjunction with Figs. 11 and 12, the bottom cross member will be taken as an example to illustrate other embodiments of the bottom side beam and the bottom cross member having a closed structure.

Referring first to Fig. 11, the bottom cross member 50 shown in Fig. 11 includes an epitaxial plate 51 and a U-shaped support plate 53. Wherein, the U-shaped support plate 53 has a U-shaped cross section for supporting on the ground. The epitaxial plates 51 are a pair which are connected at both ends of the opening of the U-shaped support plate 53 and extend in a direction away from the U-shaped support plate 53, respectively. Thus, the bottom cross member 50 can also be approximated as an inverted Ω shape, which is suitable for the case where the floor 10 of the container is small in distance from the ground. In addition, the bottom cross member 50 may not include the epitaxial plate 51 but only the U-shaped support plate 53 having a U-shaped cross section, and the bottom cross member 50 including only the U-shaped support plate 53 may be the U-shaped support plate 53. The opening up setting can also be set downward.

Further, as for the bottom side member 30, the structure of the bottom cross member 50 shown in Fig. 11 and the U-shaped support plate 53 may be employed, and the opening of the U-shaped support plate 53 may be either upward or downward. The size of the bottom side beam 30 and the bottom cross member 50 of this structure may be different when the same container is used. For the bottom cross member 50, the epitaxial plate 51 is attached to the lower surface of the floor panel 10 by means known to those skilled in the art, such as welding. For the bottom side rails 30, the epitaxial plates are used to connect components of the container located above the bottom side rails 30.

For the case where the floor 10 of the container is small from the ground, the corrugated plate shown in Fig. 12 can also be used as the bottom cross member 50 (the corrugated plate is not suitable for the bottom side beam), and the corrugated plate includes a plurality of protrusions connected side by side. These projections serve to support the floor 10. The corrugated plate is used as the bottom cross beam 50, which is equivalent to integrating the plurality of bottom cross members 50. Such a structure can complete the connection with the floor 10 in one step, which simplifies the assembly process. In practical applications, the corrugated board can be made of ordinary side wall panels or ordinary top wave panels.

As mentioned above, at least the bottom of the bottom side rail 30 and the bottom cross member 50 extend toward the ground in a non-bent manner, and as an alternative embodiment, the bottom side rail 30 and the bottom cross member 50 are configured to be at least bent at the bottom. The way it extends vertically to the ground. Of course, one of the bottom side beam 30 and the bottom cross member 50 can also be constructed in the same container so that at least the bottom extends vertically to the ground in a non-bent manner.

As can be seen with reference to Figures 13 and 14, the bottom side member 30 includes a horizontal support plate 37 and a vertical support plate 39. Wherein, the horizontal support plate 37 is used for the components of the container above the side sill 30 In connection, the vertical support plate 39 is supported on the ground vertically extending from the horizontal support plate 37 to the ground. The vertical support plate 39 may be used alone or in plurality. For example, in Fig. 13, one vertical support plate 39 is attached to the end of the horizontal support plate 37, so that the bottom side member 30 has an inverted L shape (may also be connected to the lower surface of the horizontal support plate 37 to form a T-shape. Bottom side beam). The vertical support plate 39 and the horizontal support plate 37 may form at least one C-shaped, T-shaped, inverted L-shaped or a combination of shapes that are open downward. In Fig. 14, two vertical support plates 39 are provided at the two end portions of the horizontal support plate 37, respectively, so that the bottom side member 30 has a C shape with an open downward.

Further, it is also possible to use only the vertical support plate 39 as the bottom side member 30 without providing the horizontal support plate 37. At this time, the top of the vertical support plate 39 is for connection with the components of the container located above the bottom side beam 30, and the bottom of the vertical support plate 39 is for supporting on the ground.

Figures 15 to 17 show an embodiment of three other bottom cross members 50 which are similar in construction to the bottom side members 30 shown in Figures 13 and 14, and which are also not constructed to have a closed bottom cross member 50. Structure.

Referring first to Figure 15, it can be seen that the bottom cross member 50 also includes a vertical support plate 55 (equivalent to the vertical support plate 39 of the bottom side member 30) that is attached below the floor panel 10 and is vertical to the ground. It extends straight to serve to support the floor 10.

As can be seen from Figures 16 and 17, both embodiments include a horizontal support plate 57 (equivalent to the horizontal support plate 37 of the bottom side member 30) which is known to those skilled in the art by welding or the like. The manner is horizontally connected to the lower surface of the floor 10 of the container, and the two bottom beams 50 need to have at least one vertical support plate 55. 16 and 17 each exemplarily show an embodiment employing a vertical support plate 55 in which the vertical support plate 55 of the bottom cross member 50 in Fig. 16 is attached to the middle of the lower surface of the floor connecting plate 57, and Vertically extending to the ground, the entire bottom cross member 50 forms a T-shaped structure. Further, the vertical support plate 55 of the bottom cross member 50 in Fig. 17 is attached to the end of the floor connecting plate 57, and also extends vertically to the ground, and the entire bottom cross member 50 is formed in an inverted L shape. Further, a vertical support plate 55 may be respectively disposed at both ends of the floor connecting plate 57 in accordance with the structure of the bottom side member 30 shown in Fig. 14, so that the bottom cross member 50 has an open downward C shape. Of course, a plurality of vertical support plates 55 may be provided side by side on the lower surface of the floor panel 57. The vertical support plate 55 and the horizontal support plate 57 may form at least one C-shaped, T-shaped, inverted L-shaped or a combination of the openings downwardly.

Finally, see Figure 18. Figure 18 shows a bottom cross member 50 of a different embodiment disposed below the floor 10. For example, the bottom cross member 50 having a closed structure can be supported at a place where the load of the floor 10 is large, and the load on the floor 10 is small. The bottom cross member 50 shown in Figs. 15 to 17 is supported. Figure 18 exemplarily uses the aforementioned bottom cross member 50 to support the floor Below the 10, of course, for different situations, those skilled in the art will also know how to select the bottom cross member 50 in the above embodiment to support the floor 10.
