Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shipping container of a standard external size, with 4 side walls, a base and a roof, with doors and windows on the outer side walls that provide access, at least at the corners of the roof with container corners that allow lifting, the container corner has a hollow rectangular shape, and has six metal boundary plates firmly connected in pairs to each other at their edges and include an upper/lower opening, two lateral oval openings, where the upper/lower opening and the two lateral oval openings are formed in three mutually perpendicular boundary plates.
  • FIG. 1 An example of a container corner used in such cases can be seen in patent application HU227065 B1 , which describes a method for producing a steel container corner element from elements formed by cutting hot-rolled steel plate, during the method elements are made from steel plates and then welded together. In the method according to the invention, they start from a hot-rolled steel plate in which the ratio of the components is given.
  • the steel plate elements of the corner element - horseshoe-shaped base plate with connection opening, superficies elements, roof plate, front plates with connection opening, reinforcing insert - are formed by plasma cutting of the steel plate, and the elements are welded together.
  • the openings of the corner element do not allow several corner elements, thus several containers, to be releasably connected to each other by means of rods or screws.
  • Standard-sized shipping and storage containers such as the so-called 20-foot or 40-foot container is commonly used in shipping.
  • containers with a smaller cargo space and/or a shared cargo space.
  • Such demands arise both in trade and in national defense.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a container arrangement that includes smaller containers, but at the same time is suitable to be handled, namely stored and transported as a single standard-sized container in an assembled manner. At the same time, when the container is disassembled, it provides the opportunity to store different equipment used for other purposes.
  • the standard-sized container is divided into three planes parallel to its outer walls and perpendicular to each other. These planes do not necessarily have to be the halves of the corresponding dimensions of a standard container. According to the present invention, at least two of these three mutually perpendicular dividing planes are used, thereby dividing the standard-sized container into four parts. If three dividing planes are used, the available space is divided into eight smaller containers. In the following, it will be described in more detail how these can be connected to each other with a releasable manner according to the invention, thereby handling them as one when they are clamped together. This allows such containers to be handled during shipping in the same way as traditional standard-sized containers with conventional moving and handling devices, such as cranes.
  • oval openings In relation to the present solution, openings whose longitudinal size exceeds their transverse size are considered oval openings. Nevertheless, taking into account the current state of the art, in relation to containers, oval openings can be classified into two main classes. One that is closed at both ends with two semicircles or circular arcs, and between them has a parallel side shape in the longitudinal direction.
  • An additional designation during the description of the present solution is the so-called shield-shaped design, which differs from the previous one in that the two lateral border lines are not parallel, but form an angle. This shield-shaped design can be advantageous because its upper circular design ensures better load distribution when lifting the container.
  • This solution is also maintained in the case of the present invention, but only in an optional way. The solution designed in this way is valid for all solutions defined above that satisfy our definitions.
  • the shipping container comprises 4 or 8 smaller containers, the small containers are joined together in a releasable manner, at least 2 of the length, width and height directions of two assembled small containers give the standard external size of the shipping container.
  • Each of the smaller containers has 4 side walls, at least one of the side walls of each small container has an opening, each of the small containers is designed with modified container corners on at least one of its sides where the modified container corners have an additional round hole formed in the boundary plate that faces the two oval side openings; furthermore, the releasable joints are formed from coupling elements and rod assembly between the modified container corners.
  • Figure 1 shows a corner element according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows a corner element according to the invention in another view
  • Figure 3 shows a coupling element according to the invention
  • FIG. 4 shows another coupling element according to the invention
  • Figure 5 shows a third coupling element according to the invention
  • Figure 6 shows a fourth coupling element according to the invention
  • Figure 7 shows a rod assembly according to the invention
  • Figure 8 shows an end of the rod assembly according to the invention
  • Figure 9 is an exploded view of the end of the rod assembly according to the invention.
  • Figure 10 shows the lower part of an exemplary container arrangement.
  • Figure 1 shows a container corner 1 , which includes an upper opening 2 and an oval opening 4, and also has a shield-shaped opening 3 on the side adjacent to the two aforementioned openings.
  • the bore-hole 5 according to the present invention is formed on the opposite side of one of the oval openings 4 and the shield-shaped opening 3.
  • the bore-hole 5 is round, which is suitable for passing a rod through.
  • Figure 2 shows the corner element according to Figure 1 with the addition that the bore-hole 5 is equipped with a guide tube 6. The purpose of this is to guide the fixing rod to be routed later.
  • Figure 3 shows a coupling element 10. It is to be noted that in this figure and also hereafter elements having both downward and upward projections are shown which are necessary to represent a function in the vertically divided plane. It should be noted that in cases where such an element is applied on the top or bottom of the parts of the container, it is not necessary for the lower and upper parts to exist at the same time, as will be explained below.
  • the coupling element 10 shown in Figure 3 contains a bore-hole 12 formed in a prism 11 , which, in the case of the given design, is divided into a lower and an upper part by a separating plate 13.
  • the lower and preferably the upper edges of the prism 1 1 are advantageously chopped off slantingly in order to facilitate load bearing.
  • the separating plate 13, which refers to a whole, single standard-sized container produced from the eight containers, is located in the slot in the vertical plane. It should be noted here that this and the other figures refer to the embodiment in which eight smaller containers are joined together, and the separating elements of these in the vertical level are represented.
  • the corresponding coupling elements 10, 20, 30, 40 only have one side, since the other side is not needed.
  • Figure 4 shows a further coupling element 20 suitable for connecting four adjacent small containers in a figure-of-eight arrangement.
  • the bore-holes 22 formed in the prisms 21 and the separating plate 23 for separation work similarly to those described in Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 shows a coupling element 30, which is similar to the previous ones, but developed with an application in a different position, with prisms 31 , bore-holes 32 and separating plate 33.
  • Figure 6 shows the coupling element 40 fitting into the middle of the figure-of-eight arrangement, in which the prisms 41 , bore-holes 42 and separating plate 43 are indicated.
  • the bore-holes 42 are suitable for holding together a standard-sized container formed by the small containers by means of a through-bar.
  • Fig. 7 the rod 51 , which is part of the rod assembly 50, as well as a removable impact ring 52 and a fixed impact ring 57 can be seen. These are used to ensure the cohesion of a standard-sized container consisting of assembled small containers.
  • figure 8 shows that at the end of the rod 51 , next to the removable impact ring 52, there is a pin 53 fixing the rod 51 , which is fixed with a cotter pin 54 at the opposite end.
  • Figure 9 shows an exploded view of the elements shown so far, including a bore-hole 56 for the pin 53.
  • the cotter pin 54 fits into a bore-hole 55.
  • Figure 10 shows the arrangement of a lower level of the solution for the case of eight small containers 100 with the coupling elements 10, 20, 30, 40 and with the inserted rods 51 where the lower half of the larger container system 101 can be seen.
  • the upper level is based on this, but it would be difficult to illustrate.
  • the larger 101 container system composed of small containers 100 equipped with a modified container corners 1 (8 pieces) is clearly visible, which in the present illustration shows only the lower four containers assembled, fixed with rods 51 , and also shows the rods 51 intended to connect the upper container rows but without the upper containers.
  • the illustration shows how the rods 51 pass through the respective coupling elements 10, 20, 30, 40. This passing through is useful if the 10, 20, 30, 40 coupling elements are in the modified container corners 1 with all their prisms (e.g., in 8 containers at the same time).
  • the guide tube 6, partially visible in Figure 2 can, if necessary, lead in its entire length between two modified container corners 1 , which facilitates the introduction of the rods 51 , but at the same time takes only an insignificant part of the useful interior space of the small containers 100.
  • the guide tube 6 can go through along between the bore-holes 5 of two container corners 1 and can be attached to said two container corners 1 .
  • the solution according to the invention refers to the four or eight small containers 100, which can be created geometrically by using the three possible perpendicular dividing lines or two of them.
  • the advantage of the invention is that it can be installed in a divided manner, and at the same time, the materials to be stored can be transported in a uniform and usual manner.
  • Another advantage is that flexibly configurable and scalable systems can be created, can have more/different units, or these different technologies can be connected to each other, even if they are laid down as one large unit (e.g., a 20-foot or 40-foot container), and then their openings when opened, they can be connected to each other from the outside. So maybe these will form a useful whole together, and the big advantage lies in the flexible selectability.
