Bulk cargo in the container 1 flows out directly along the opened discharge door 6 due to gravity. When residues appear in the goods flowing process, the goods can be ensured to be completely discharged through the modes of slightly vibrating the box body 1, using auxiliary tools or manual intervention and the like.

When the goods are discharged, the case 1 is replaced at a stable position. The discharge gate 6 gradually falls back to its original closed position under the force of gravity and the guide posts 75 on the end plate 64 of the discharge gate 6 slide back along the guide slots into the vertical guide slots 72. After the discharge door 6 is completely closed, a fixed chain pin is inserted to ensure that the discharge door 6 is locked so as to prevent accidental opening caused by vibration during transportation.

The tarpaulin reel is driven to rotate reversely by a chain wheel mechanism, the tarpaulin is unfolded from the reel and is completely covered on the top opening of the box body 1. Subsequently, the tarpaulin locking bar 25 is reset, so that the locking hooks hook the tarpaulin locking ring 24 again, and meanwhile, the tarpaulin bolt 27 is inserted, so that the tarpaulin cannot be loosened or accidentally opened in the transportation process.

The whole container body 1 is designed based on the external dimension of a standard container, and meets the requirements of sea and land transportation on the container.

The top opening is set to be an integral opening, and compared with a multi-point or partial opening of a traditional bulk container, the integral opening is designed to be more convenient for rapid loading and unloading of cargoes, and loading efficiency is improved.

The side surface 4 and the end surface 5 of the box body 1 adopt sectional structures (an upper end plate, a side plate structure and a lower discharging door 6 structure), the upper fixing structure ensures the structural strength of the box body 1, the lower discharging door 6 structure adopts and is fixed on the upper structure through a long hinge 62, the opening and closing stroke of the lower discharging door 6 is controlled through a guide mechanism at the end part,

It should be understood that the foregoing detailed description of the present invention is provided for illustration only and not for limitation, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be modified or substituted for the same technical effects and is within the scope of the invention as long as the usage requirement is satisfied.
