Abstract

A container (10) with side openings provides side loading channels, having an intermediate support member, such as a corrugated wall section (15), stays or tie rods (43), between the bottom deck and the ceiling, forming a single, integral "I" shaped beam section profile; in a variant with opposing end walls, an intermediate wall supports the end walls; several "I" beams can be stacked one on top of the other to provide a multi-layer deck; other variants combine multiple "I" beams or combine "I" beams with other beam sections for various deck heights and loading channels, thereby increasing stiffness to each other.

Description

The cargotainer of side loading

The present invention relates to a kind of goods or cargotainer that is used to store with highway, railway and water transportation, also relate to the structure of freight container, improve and the load structure.

Because a kind of (freight container) storage volumes of partial closure at least and a underframe and operating unit form one, therefore many schemes of the present invention also can be used for wheeled (highway communication instrument) dull and stereotyped car body or trailer or as the rolling stock of box car, four-wheeled, even have the subsidiary chassis of stacked restriction and the interference of attached operating unit.

Usually, containerized basic theories is:

Normally the goods shape and size are standardized into rectangular configuration according to base plate overlay area and (maximum) height overall.

The lifting or the strong point are set and have standard feature and the attached lockout mechanism of layout.

Structure

Freight container can be made a uncovered plane, promptly only by a underframe, by having or not having local latticed framework complete closed on every side of filling, that is, opposite end walls and sidewall is arranged also, and covers on the base plate with a ceiling.

As a kind of substitute of the annex of peripheral frame, can on a underframe, use a kind of relatively thin thin-walled monocoque.

Rigidity

The freight container span of even now structure is relatively left and is looser, and is subjected to the damage of crooked and torsional load easily.

For adopting non-imposed flexible siding track baffle plate osed top lateral opening structure, its rigidity and hardness problem are just special outstanding.

Because in supporting or will mention by bearing plate or from ceiling when mentioning, elliptical structure (vertically side) wall will claim aspect its bulk strength and the rigidity keeping, particularly aspect crooked.

Therefore, if when freight container strides across ceiling and is suspended on the hoist point, freight container will in use produce significant deformation, for example crush or distortion, so, inner goods or shipping load will be in the hole, just not saying be used to load and unload and (can the lock) suspention of stacking and the potential imparity (and obstruction and extruding of producing) of attachment point thereupon.

Therefore, as GB1575508 (Bell) be exactly the reflection of representative type side shield freight container design.

Normalisation

Usually, freight container and attached installation accessory are all processed according to the standard of the international recognition as " ISO " or " Euro ".

Correspondingly, can determine the geometry of base areas or overlay area, height and placement/lifting accessory

Adopt this mode, the freight container with various departure points just can be nested at an easy rate with loader-unloader by common hoisting crane, stack, assemble mutually and load and unload.

Multiple standard

Sometimes, adopt a plurality of standards particularly the freight container of two standards have following advantage, promptly make it to carry out different size or ratiometric is nested, assemble mutually and stack.

Therefore, for example " ISO-Euro " two standards will make long bigger overlay area with a standard (Euro for example, total length is 13.6m or 45 ') unload from the enterprising luggage of loading and unloading, lifting or supporting-point with another standard (ISO for example, total length be 40 ').

This has just proposed extra requirement to the tensile stress and the compression effort of container structure, no longer only is placed on the corner fitting owing to rely on, and this location can provide a kind of supporting of inherence.

And, must come regulating load to shift according to being positioned at the middle point of whole freight container span, and therefore in traditional container structure, can not make special accessory.

Charge capacity

Necessary structure is provided with to hinder whole theoretical capacities is filled.

Therefore in addition angle newel post also can be proved to be an obstacle in that respect.

In order to be suitable for particular cargo and the space is minimized, therefore, do not having under the condition of undue labyrinth, also need to obtain at the alerting ability that re-constructs aspect the loading space,

Lateral access

With regard to the loading and unloading of freight container, the side opening structure is well-known, and this can allow from any (vertically) side and carries out load transfer.

Open side is closed by the siding track baffle plate of flexibility usually, and just a kind of soft board is suspended on the roller in the top rail, and by a row at interval tensioning sheet iron strip and bracelet successively, every a determining deviation strangulation on lower tracks.

It is reasonable being used for from the lateral access of arbitrary vertical side access goods of freight container, if but the load space that is positioned at relative both sides do not interfered and hindered, then just relatively strict to the location of load in each side.

Just can understand the groundwork of side loading from specific highway and railway transport of passengers car body field.

Yet, these all do not propose special requirement to the freight container of various modes, the self-contained structure that can between different transportation media, transmit just, these media such as highway, railway water route and even the air transport under the less situation of freight container, adopted.

The end passage

By the gate or usually the hinge end wall between two corner posts to carry out that the end loads also be well-known.

The explanation of a scheme of the present invention

According to a scheme of the present invention

A freight container comprises;

Deck, a bottom,

A ceiling by a support construction supports placed in the middle,

This supporting construction is positioned at the centre of main span,

Thereby form " I " shape fine strain of millet section that single-piece is structural.

" I " shape fine strain of millet

Usually, in a kind of " I " shape fine strain of millet and its distortion or subform all have aspect crooked and distortion rigidity.

In a kind of distortion, a kind of intermediate support (as a kind of continuous wall components) is usually located in the middle of the horizontal span of middle part, just is parallel to and usually equidistantly in longitudinal side wall (opening).

Yet, also can be chosen in the middle span of lateral runout position as midship mounting.

In fact, " I " shape fine strain of millet structure depends on ceiling and the base plate as relative flange, and (center) wall is as web placed in the middle in the middle of having.

Therefore web is the parts of a key, is not only an internal partition or disengagement gear.

In traditional freight container, there is not middle pectoral plate, base plate and ceiling are more open, because comparatively speaking ceiling and the degree of depth of base plate and the tare weight of freight container given have just reduced total density of cargo.

There is side guard one side direction to load

Shown in Figure 27 A, be to have the distortion of side guard to adopt under the side direction loading situation, middle (center) wall supports a part (being half) capacity weight and baffle plate is supporting other parts (being second half).

Comparatively speaking, traditional freight container profile will become prismatic, shown in Figure 27 B.

Therefore side board with and the tightening device (belt) that matches half of intensity that only need have a traditional product be used to support given capacity weight.

Opposite flank track tensioning

And the tensile force in the baffle sidewall tightening device can be pulled in long rails together to a certain extent.

Because this appears at both sides, center wall will play the effect of (compression) stay, and makes siding track support bigger tensile force, shown in Figure 28 A.

In a kind of traditional freight container, this baffle plate tensioning load is loose, makes the freight container profile protrude, shown in Figure 28 B.

This has a bigger advantage, prevents that promptly goods (section) profile from sealing and protruding from (after the unloading) freight container of estimating.

End supports

When by lifting of standard connection fittings or stacking container, can use various auxiliary end ruggedized constructions, shown in Figure 29-31.

Therefore a pair of relative " C " shape frame is used to surround the relative two ends of base plate and ceiling and the end wall angle post is clipped in therebetween, as shown in figure 29.

Perhaps, " C " shape frame at an angle to each other can planar be arranged in pairs " V " word section, single " C " shape frame is fixed on the joint portion of sidewall and the end of centre (center) wall, and top or bottom support arm extend to the hoist point of base plate and ceiling siding track, as shown in figure 30.

One end that changes promotes strut and is illustrated among Figure 31, adopts a kind of self-contained " I " glyph framework, is installed to this overall " I " back canopy, in midfeather and the base arrangement.

Ding Wei lifting stay has been eliminated the needs of the employing drag-line between base plate and ceiling like this, as jury strut (as the description of back with respect to Fig. 2)

The biasing intermediate support

Submit to certain " difference " aburton capacity, can adjust midfeather and make it that some are asymmetric or depart from midway location, and can exceedingly not destroy the quality of " I " girder construction.

A plurality of biasing intermediate support

In order to offset the cross travel result of center support (wall) part, can be as follows, and a corresponding Offset is arranged in the opposite direction.

Therefore, generally speaking,, can assemble successively midship mounting (wall) parts of biasing mutually immediately following multi-ladder structure planar.

And, can save partly at least as element or the part that load passage with " I " shape parts.

" I " word beam that stacks

Centre (the being central spinal column) partition wall of one " I " word beam container structure provides the strut member that stacks that is used for a plurality of Special Containers.

Therefore, relatively short or long container stacking can be got up, adopt base plate to place on the ceiling of bottom freight container the top freight container.

And, even in known freight container profile, also can use a plurality of " I " word beam, a freight container is overlayed on another.

For example, two " I "-" I " beams of a double-ply can use and a kind ofly connect the deck in the middle of common, constituted effectively a base plate and on cover between deck.

This relevant " I " beam arranges that the multi-layer stacking or the extruding on the deck that a kind of adjacent each interval can be provided arrange.

This special " I " beam that adopts a kind of like this arrangement mode can be used for the predetermined load symmetry or the degree of depth or even span differentiated.

" I " word beam that mixes and other section

A kind of special " I " word beam section or a plurality of " I " word beam section can combine with other section, and for example " U " shape section, " C " shape section or serpentine section are with changeability and the alerting ability that is suitable for deck layout and load channel.

Therefore, for example, adjacent different section can be combined in a freight container (vertically) span cargo-carring alerting ability to be provided and to support mutually.

The wavy wall parts

In a kind of special structure, a kind of intermediate support comprises a bellows wall plate member, strides across the one or more selected part of freight container, or whole span.

Such Wavelet piece is strengthened rigidity effectively at least one plane, elastomeric thin-walled part then can not strengthened rigidity.

End wall, base plate and ceiling can adopt corrugated plating (metal is typically steel) to process similarly, perhaps select local the employing, perhaps adopt on its whole span.

The location of such ripple is reflected to partial load and load distribution the other parts of this structure.

Therefore, along just easier counteracting of the bending of ripple.

A kind of common structure will be the ripple that is used for base plate or bottom surface and ceiling that spans to opposite side from a vertical side.

Traditionally, end wall can have vertical moire, but midship mounting wall of the present invention has been strengthened end wall when being fixed to the upper, and laterally (or level) ripple also is provided.

Particularly for midfeather, constraint element or stay that some are single for example adopt a kind of intersection (being the right-angled crossing diagonal angle) grid or grid arrangement, can be replaced by continuous wallboard, perhaps are chosen in local the replacement, also can be in whole (wall) span.

Access opening

In midfeather, can be equipped with as the access opening of window or gateway or opening so that the operator is passed through.

Can by pivotally attached or movably the door or baffle plate selectively (partially or completely) close such opening.

Similarly, this midfeather can reduce the height or the degree of depth selectively, perhaps even at selected portion saves together.

On the other hand, auxiliary reinforcement or reinforcing member can be set partly, particularly in the place that promotes or hang load centralization, as when " ISO " freight container is raised at middle " Euro " hitch point place.

Usually, if intermediate support transmission or spread loads and extend to so far between ceiling and bottom surface also can be strengthened end wall.

The end wall passage

End wall also can contain the hole that is useful on operation and goods turnover.

Such access opening can be closed selectively by door-plate.

Equally, end sections can move to corner post from middle strut member.

Therefore, for instance, front sheet can be hinged on the intermediate support.

Side door

And corner post self can be equipped with end wall portion, as the part of sidewall, forms a side door assembly.

For this reason, corner post can have the end connector that matches selectively with backing plate and ceiling.

Equally, the optionally part of ceiling can be moved or be rotated around the midship mounting backbone.

This base plate needn't have continuous deck surface, and promptly it can be a kind of part grid of openings that has cross-brace or support the continuous beading of conditioned disjunction.

Ceiling also can be processed by continuous corrugated plating.

The ripple of local refinement

The ripple of base plate even ceiling can " double " partly at load centralization point, and " encryption ", or " replenishing " are to provide extra rigidity and hardness.

Ceiling stay (BRACING)

Horizontal stay can be set to be suitable for assembling another kind of (lacking) construction standard on the ceiling in the part.

Adopt and the span of shorter standard or the horizontal stay that the overlay area is complementary, this will make the container stacking with identical or different standard on another.

Perhaps with on the end coupling of the short freight container that covers, perhaps mate with middle the span points of strengthening according to the present invention.

For traditional siding track baffle plate, a device that is used for the intramarginal upper guard-plate orbit of ceiling can be set, for example by a kind of proprietary recessed road section, and this recessed road has a lock-bit track that is used for baffle plate tightening device pull bar and bottom edge.

Ceiling is to the stay of bottom surface

For opening ceiling very is fixed on whole vertical side, can add the reinforcing stay of removable (dismounting) that be connected across ceiling and plate outer side edge.

This reinforcing stay can (weight) be positioned in the middle of the span of each side of freight container, or arranges a plurality of stays in the middle part span points.

This reinforcing stay is the side guiding along guide rail traditionally, but at the Width of the baffle plate track of ceiling, so that make that reinforcing stay has selectable variable location, reaches by a gooseneck pipe that is positioned at the stay upper end.

This just provides through reinforcing the continuous uninterrupted siding track baffle plate of stay position.

The ceiling passage

Removable by installing (dismounting), i.e. pivotally attached, the ceiling channel plate can be made the device that is used for the top loading-unloading load, for example, from an external margin to the pivot that is positioned at the midship mounting wall.

Adopt a kind of like this top board parts that fold into the back side, can pass the ceiling opening of following once the suspension load that is suspended on the end-lifting apparatus.

Multideck

" I " of the present invention word girder construction is integrated to be adapted to multilayer or multi-platform containerzation goods to be stored.

UK patent application № 9618703.4 and № 9707250.8 that I applied in the past have been used as PCT international application № PCT/GB97/02319 now and have proposed.I have proposed a kind of multideck container structure that is suitable for common goods or the delivery of the predetermined vehicle.

Schemes more of the present invention differently are used for integrated side loading and multilayer or many decks " I " beam and mix section structure.

Attached explanation of the present invention

According to another aspect of the present invention, a multideck freight container comprises:

Have some and have the mutual covering of strut member placed in the middle or overlapping load platform or deck,

(load) passage that enters from (arbitrary) side on each layer that is positioned at some different deck layers is provided,

And form a kind of integrated morphology, mono-, multilayer laminated " I " girder construction.

In many deformed configurations, by laterally being offset deck supports placed in the middle, be provided for the lateral access of the different depth of adjacent deck layer.

Therefore, can use a kind of " interlocking ", " stacked " " I " word beam section.

The freight container parts also can change with its length, to form a series of predetermined parts that are suitable for the specific loads structure.

For instance, can closely follow stacked many " I " beam after mono-" I " beam, then be other parts.

Attached many deck supports also can be assemblied on the peripheral frame, make to select deck and wall to fill up.

The constructivity complexity that layer is expressed additional load space and passage although two such (on cover) with convenient between coordination preferably, on principle, other multi-platform structure also can be done and obtain.

Can assemble one and stride across and cover the overall ceiling of flat-bed (lid) element, for example, as the supporting cantilever type that stretches out from a upper frame element.

This ceiling self can be the platform or the deck of a carry load, has the guide rail of the vehicle, for example, and three (on cover) line or lamination lines.

Adopt the ceiling of a carry load, can readjust the position on attached (centre) deck.

As what nonessential ceiling was provided the vehicle are replenished protection, can equip side board.

Referring to accompanying drawing, the shipping container 10 of a rectangle has general lateral opening structure, along its vertical side, and comprise one have deck 11, bottom, on cover the shell (hollow) of ceiling 12 and

end wall

13,14, have intermediate support 15.

In this variant, continuous midship mounting wall is installed on whole vertical freight container span between the

end wall

13,14, and be installed in deck 11, bottom and on cover on the whole height or the degree of depth between the ceiling 12.

Midfeather is positioned on the intermediate depth of horizontal span of base plate 11, although can allow some other distortion with the form in " I " ellbeam cross section of symmetry usually.

In this special structure, various decks and wall elements are the panellings of the corrugated sheet material such as steel plate.

This Wavelet piece transversal orientation, it crosses the width of freight container, and except the midship mounting wall, this Wavelet piece orientation (upright usually) is between base plate 11 and ceiling 12.

These plates have been filled with the peripheral frame structure, comprise under(-)chassis track 16, end frame track 17 and ceiling frame track 19.

The filling plate can support (laterally) framing member by midfeather.

The upright stay 21 of reinforcing is removably mounted between under(-)chassis track 16 and the end frame track 17.

A plurality of such reinforcing stays can be arranged on the vertical side of other opening of freight container 10.

Lifting, suspension or support fitting 27,29,31 with specialized standard joint lockout mechanism (not shown) are installed on

frame guide rail

16,17 and 19, are used for optionally meshing and fastening with hoisting crane and fork lift (not shown).

According to partial load and load distribution, wall 15 and deck 11 are partially strengthened, and load distribution to other parts of total, so that extra rigidity and impregnability to be provided, to be born the crooked of slim-lined construction and twisted so that help.

By density or the pitch that optionally changes Wavelet piece, can realize this local the reinforcement to small part.

Especially, the zone 25 of part increase ripple density is combined in the midfeather 15.

Similar, local reinforcement 23 is installed in the deck 11, bottom.

This local reinforcement design provides whole bending and warping rigidity, allows the plate inboard in lifting, suspension or support set vanning end and corner.

Shown in Figure 2 is a kind of from being positioned at the device that the middle hitch point of whole width promotes freight container shown in Figure 1.

One suspension hoist cable, 24 video beams are tied up rope 28 and are equally extended between ceiling and deck, bottom, and additional fastening effect is played in the vertical side of opening.

Shown in Figure 29 to 31 is various " C " shape section or the fastening mounting means of " I " shape section end framework, and they can be contained in totally in " I " beam freight container profiled outline.

Shown in Figure 3 is a kind of being used for the device of freight container shown in Fig. 1 to be deposited into

analog structure

20,30, perhaps is deposited on the freight container of various criterion (as ISO and Euro).

In either case, freight container all is stackable, and one is put on another.

Under the situation of the freight container with two standards, and stack dissimilar freight containers, the freight container 20 (bottom is longer) that constitutes according to long standard is equipped with horizontal ceiling reinforcing member and support beam 32, is positioned at the central space of whole freight container span.

This just makes the freight container 30 of equal length can be positioned on the base container 20, perhaps makes to have the container lot of less span on base container 20.

Freight container shown in Fig. 1 that a side shield 36 is housed shown in Figure 4.

Shown in Figure 5 is the detailed cross sectional drawing of doing along the accessory bar among Fig. 4, and what the figure shows is the assembling of side shield 36 and the reinforcing stay 21 that can (again) moves.

The head of baffle plate 36 is fixed on the roller 32, and this roller is arranged in continuous guide rail 41, and this guide rail is installed in the downside of ceiling back timber frame rail 19.

One transverse sealing cover 44 can prevent to be subjected to the influence of weather.

Equally, the head of reinforcing stay 21 is inclined inwardly to 47 places, and is carrying roller 46, and this roller is installed in the inboard of ceiling frame 19.

Adopt this mode, baffle plate 36 and stay 21 can move independently and baffle plate can be pulled through to cover whole stay 21.

Shown in Figure 6 is a kind of version of freight container among Fig. 1, has various modifications and improvement.

Therefore, midship mounting wall 15 at one end contains an access opening 33, what this hole can be by one removable (dismounting), as pivotally attached, 34 sealings of door.

On the part 24, the local area of midfeather 15 decreases on the height and the degree of depth therebetween, thereby only some extends to ceiling 12 from deck, bottom 11 for it.

End wall 14 also contains a porthole 52, by hinged door 38 sealings.

Shown in Fig. 7 A to 7C is a planar view that ratio is dwindled, and expresses the various structures on doorway, end.

Therefore, be the relative pair of end door that is hinged on the lateral angle shown in Fig. 7 A.

Shown in Fig. 7 B be hinged on contiguous or or even be positioned at common epispinal end door in the middle of the end wall span, this backbone is exactly the midship mounting wall.

Shown in Fig. 7 C is a kind of version of central spinal column, is hinged with the end door with Fig. 7 B structure on this backbone, and wherein, this door has detouchable bight frame column 17, so that passage is opened.

Shown in Figure 8 is the cross sectional plane view of the version of a freight container shown in Figure 1, and wherein the corrugated section 35 of midship mounting wall has constituted one and launches pitch, so as with the load elements profile complementation of bigger peripheral diameter.

Therefore, with rolling or roller 39 is just adorned in a mode that is arranged in the ripple span of an expansion that its end stacks, and be nested between the opposing inclined sidewall 37 than large diameter cylinder paper.

In the one or both ends of freight container, the ripple of midfeather stops in the mode of flat board.

This just provides completely (even some skews are inwardly arranged) load degree of depth, just can not have restricted area between angle end pillar and midfeather.

Shown in Figure 9 is a kind of version of the freight container among Fig. 1, have the intermediate support between deck, bottom 11 and ceiling 12, this strut member is made of the composite grid with reinforcing tensioning pull bar and stay 43 and minimum (closeer pitch) bellows wall parts 48.

Shown in Figure 10 also is a kind of version of the freight container among Fig. 1, has the top board 49 of removable (dismounting), and this top board is hinged on the backbone of midship mounting wall 15 and the appropriate section of carrying ceiling edge frame 19 on its outer ledge.

This just provides and has adopted suitable lifting apparatus to carry out cargo-carring passage from above, for example hoisting crane or elevator (not shown).

The top board hinge position needn't be positioned on the central spinal column, but can be on a line between backbone and the siding track, and opening is on 1/4th the ceiling degree of depth.

Shown in Figure 11 to 17 is the version with the multideck freight container that can select the section profile, can be used for combining with " I " beam section of Fig. 1 to 10.

Therefore referring to Figure 11, freight container module 111 comprises box frame parts 120 lateral opening and top end opening, " broken line shape ", " b " or " d " shape section, have carrying

platform

112 and 114 at interval, this two platform is separated by a vertical wall or supporting leg 115.

Upper brace 114 has vertical sidewall 116, is positioned at a side relative with supporting walls 115.

Can arrive

platform

112 and 114 from relative both sides respectively for special (being scheduled to) cargo loading 122 with 124.

Therefore,

platform

112 and 114 can load and unload independently.

The loading and unloading of goods can be undertaken by the special-purpose fork truck with suitable lift and reach, and fork truck just has in the goods station usually.

Module 111 is removably fixing by releasable connecting pin (not shown), or by its each box frame weld together is permanently struck up partnership.

In detailed structure, module 111 can be processed into the hollow empty framework with the continuous structural constituent in end, as shown in figure 14, or some combinations of being processed into reinforcement (employing ripple) plate or framework and plate.
