Description

Container and the method of transporting containers
The invention refers to a container having abovestandard length and the method of transporting such containers. The container is mainly used for rail and road transport. The method of transporting containers is mainly used in the case of railway platforms.
Containers with a standard length A, a standard width B and a standard distance between the centres of holes in the container cubes on the longer sides C are known, having bottom container cubes at the corners of the floor. The standard length of container A is considered to be 20, 30 or
40 feet. These containers have a standard spacing of hole centres in the container cubes of 19, 29, and 39 feet, respectively. The platform for the transport of containers has fixtures for a pair of standard-length containers with container cubes placed at the corners.
Non-standard length containers are known. These containers have a length greater than the standard length A. The lower container cubes in these containers are placed symmetrically on the longer edge of the container.
The technical problem is that the length of the container platform is not fully used.
The object of the invention is to provide a container that makes optimal use of the capabilities of the container platform.
The essence of the solution according to the invention is the container consisting of a container body equipped with container cubes with a length greater than the standard length A, where for the container length A the spacing of the centres of the holes in the container cubes located in the corners is C. The container has at least one pair of lower container cubes located in the lower corners of the container body and at least one lower container cube located on the longer bottom edge of the container body, the distance between the centres of the openings in the container cubes is C. The container has at least one pair of bottom container cubes. The container has two pairs of container cubes placed in the lower corners of the container body and two pairs of lower container cubes located on the longer lower edge of the container body. The container has two pairs of upper container cubes placed symmetrically to the symmetry axis of the container body, the distance between the centres of the holes of the upper container cubes on the longer upper edge of the container body is C. The container has at least one pair of upper container cubes located above the lower container cubes and at least one pair of upper container cubes located above the lower container cubes. The container has two pairs of upper container cubes located above the lower container cubes and two pairs of upper container cubes located above the lower container cubes. The distance between the centres of the holes in the container cubes is 5853 ± 100 mm. The distance between the centres of the holes in the container cubes is 8918 ± 100 mm.
The essence of the solution according to the invention is the method of transporting containers, in which the containers are transported on platforms with fastening for two containers of length A and the spacing of the centres of holes in the container cubes C. The containers with a length greater than A are transported using upper container cubes spacing of the centres of holes in the container cubes C, placed on the platform and fastened with the use of lower container cubes with the spacing of the centres of the holes in the container cubes C, then the container is transported and the container is moved to the place of unloading using the upper container cubes. After the containers are placed on the platform, the top layer of the containers is placed thereon, and during unloading, the top layer is first unloaded. On the first layer of containers two A-length containers are placed using upper container cubes. On the first layer of containers two A-length containers are placed using upper container cubes. On the first layer of containers two identical containers as in the first layer are placed using container cubes. The 2A-long container is placed on the first layer of containers using upper container cubes of adjacent containers. The container with a length greater than 2A is placed on the first layer and the spacing of the container cubes 2A by using upper container cubes of adjacent containers.
The invention makes it possible to increase the amount of goods transported on a platform intended for the transport of two standard containers, as well as stable container handling and even axle load. In places, where it is allowed to transport containers in stacks, the invention leads to a more effective use of the loading space of the platform.
The subject of the invention in the embodiments is shown in the drawing in which fig. 1 shows a view of the container in the first embodiment, fig. 2 - a view of the container in the second embodiment, fig. 3 - placing the containers on the platform in one layer, fig. 4 and fig. 5 - stacking of containers in two tiers with 20 feet containers in the second tier, fig. 6 - stacking of containers in two tiers with containers of 26.5 feet in the second tier, fig. 7 - stacking of containers in two tiers with a container of 40 feet in the other, and Figure 8 shows two tier containers with a 53 ft container in the second tier. Embodiment 1. The 26.5 feet (8027 m ) container is composed of the container body 1 and has one pair of lower container cubes 2 located in the lower corners of the container body 1 and a pair of lower container cubes 3 located on the longer lower edge of the container body 1. The distance between the pairs of container cubes 2 and 3 is 20 feet (6058 mm) and the distance between the centres of the holes of the container cubes is 19 feet (5853 mm). The container has two pairs of upper container cubes 4 arranged symmetrically to the symmetry axis of the container body 1, the distance between the pairs of upper container cubes 4 is 20 feet (6058 mm) and the distance between the centres of the openings of the container cubes is 19 feet (5853 mm). The method of transporting the containers is that the containers are transported on platforms with lashing for two containers with a 20ft (6058) container cube spacing and the distance between the centres of the openings of the container cubes is 19 feet (5853 mm). 26.5 feet (8027 mm) containers are moved using 4 upper container cubes, placed on the platform and secured with 2 and 3 lower container cubes, then the container is transported and the container is moved to the unloading site using the upper container cubes 4.
Embodiment 2. The container with a length of 26.5 feet (8027 mm) consists of a container body 1 has two pairs of lower container cubes 2 placed in the lower corners of the container body 1 and two pairs of lower container cubes 3 located on the longer lower edge of the container body 1. The distance between the pairs of container cubes 2 and 3 is 20 feet (6058 mm) and the distance between the centres of the holes of the container cubes is 19 feet (5853 mm). The container has two pairs of top container cubes 4 placed symmetrically to the symmetry axis of the container body 1. The distance between the pairs of top container cubes 4 is 20 feet (6058 mm) and the distance between the centres of the holes of the container cubes is 19 feet (5853 mm). The container has two pairs of upper container cubes 5 located above the lower container cubes 2 and two pairs of upper container cubes 6 placed above the lower container cubes 3. The method of transporting containers consists in transporting the containers on platforms with fastening for two containers with cubic spacing 20 feet (6058 mm) container blocks and 19 feet (5853 mm) distance between the centres of the openings of the container cubes. 26.5 feet (8027 mm) containers are moved using 4 upper container cubes, placed on the platform and secured with 2 and 3 lower container cubes, then the container is transported and the container is moved to the unloading site using the upper container cubes 4. After the containers are placed on the platform, the top layer of containers is placed on them, and during unloading, the top layer is unloaded first.
