Description

 Platform container for transporting large cylindrical goods

 The present invention relates to a large container, and more particularly to a platform type container for transporting large cylindrical shaped goods such as logs. Background technique

 As the global economy continues to grow, so does the demand for wood, and the raw materials for wood are mainly distributed in alpine forests and must be transported to processing sites by means of transport. Because the logs are cylindrical in shape of a large plough, they are transported by ordinary means of transportation, which is inefficient and costly. Since the general vehicle or cargo loading platform is not designed for log transportation, it is difficult to load and unload logs, especially for loading platforms filled with logs. In the wild, it is difficult to install vehicles without large loading and unloading equipment. Removed or removed from the vehicle.

 In addition, for other large cylindrical shapes, such as steel pipes and plastic pipes, there are also problems such as how to transport to the construction site, how to load and unload in the field, and fixed binding.

 Therefore, it is necessary to design a transportation equipment dedicated to transporting large cylindrical shaped goods to solve the above problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION;

Not easy to fall.

 The top end of the bottom cross member is higher than the top end of the bottom side rail, so that loading and unloading equipment (such as a forklift) or rope can easily pass through the bottom of the cylindrical cargo, facilitating the loading and unloading of the cargo and the fixing of the cargo or the unwinding of the rope.

 When the vertical support legs are in the vertical state, the entire platform container and cargo will be supported, and the towed trailer can easily push the chassis into the bottom of the platform container, and then the vertical The support legs are contracted and folded, and the trailer can transport the goods away; when the goods arrive at the unloading place, the vertical support legs are extended and opened in a vertical state, and the cargo will be supported with the platform type container box, and the trailer chassis is supported. The platform type container of the present invention has an automatic lifting function, which can be pulled out from the bottom of the platform type container without using a large container handling equipment.

 After the cargo is unloaded from the platform container, all the side columns and end walls are folded inwardly, and multiple platform containers are stacked again. One platform can be stacked one at a time with one trailer. The transportation of containers to the land where logs are harvested or large cylindrical goods greatly reduces the transportation cost of empty containers.

 Moreover, in order to accommodate the platform type container being towed from another trailer or train through the raceway, the bottom of the box is provided with a guiding structure between the frame and the raceway.

 In summary, the present invention facilitates the handling and transportation of logs and other large cylindrical cargoes, and greatly saves transportation costs. DRAWINGS

 The side pillar 11 is composed of a side pillar 111, a connecting hinge and a fixing bolt, and the side pillar 11 is a cylindrical structure with a hollow section; the connecting hinge is composed of a hinge pin 113 and a hinge seat 112, and the side pillar 111 3⁄4 is connected by the hinge pin 113. To the hinge base 112, the hinge base 112 is welded integrally with the bottom side rail 16; the fixing bolt is composed of a latch seat 114, a latch body 116 and a pin hole 117, and the latch seat 114 is fixed to the side cylinder 111 by a connecting screw 115, the latch The body 116 is mounted in the pin holder 114, and the bottom side member 16 is provided with a pin hole 117 corresponding to the fixed pin body 116. '

 In the working state, as shown in Fig. 6, the side cylinder 111 is opened upward, and the side cylinder 111 is fixed and held vertically by inserting the fixing pin body 116 into the bolt hole 117.

 When the side post 11 is to be retracted, as shown in FIG. ,, the latch body 116 is withdrawn from the pin hole 117, and then the side post 111 is rotated to a position substantially parallel to the upper bottom cross member 14, that is, the case 1 Stacked.

 Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 are schematic views of the support leg 13 in the working state and the stacked state, respectively, and clearly show the detailed structure of the support leg 13. '

The support leg 13 is composed of a lateral support leg 131, a vertical support leg 132 and a diagonal strut 135; The support leg 131 and the vertical support leg 132 are fixedly connected in an "L" shape, and the bottom side beam 16 is provided with a support leg hole 137 corresponding to the lateral support leg 131, and the lateral support leg 131 is inserted in the support hole 137 and can be The support leg hole 137 is telescopic and rotatable in the hole, that is, the support leg can be extended and contracted in the width direction of the case; the vertical support leg 132 is also provided with an inner vertical support leg 133 and can be telescoped therein to adjust the support. The height of the leg 13 is such that the height of the bottom of the box is adjustable within a certain range; the struts 135-end are hinged to the bottom side beam 16, and the other end is provided with a hinge hole 136 and can be vertically supported by the connecting pin 138 The hinge seat 134 on the leg 132 is connected;

 When the platform box is loaded with the cargo not yet mounted on the trailer, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 4, and 8, the lateral support legs 131 are nested in the support holes 137, the vertical support legs 132 are located in the vertical direction, and the diagonal stays 135 The end is hinged to the bottom side member 16 and the other end is connected to the hinge seat 134 provided on the vertical support leg 132 by a connecting pin 138, whereby the platform structure of the platform box is lifted by the plurality of support legs 13; the support leg 13 The angle between the bottom side beam 16 and the bottom side beam 16 is greater than 90°, so that the diagonal strut 135 is always pulled by the working force;

 If the cabinet is to be stacked, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, as long as the connecting pin 138 between the supporting leg hinge seat 134 and the diagonal strut hinge hole 136 is loosened, the lateral supporting leg 131 can be contracted and rotated into the supporting leg hole 137. The vertical support legs 132 are stowed and placed in the profile cavity of the bottom side beam 16, the diagonal stays 135 are also collected in the profile cavity of the bottom side beam 16, and the inner vertical support legs 133 are received in the vertical support legs. In the cavity in the 132, the lateral width of any position of the folded box does not exceed the maximum width of the two ends, which facilitates stacking of multiple platform boxes.

 It is apparent from the technical knowledge that the invention can be implemented by other embodiments without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. Therefore, the above-disclosed embodiments are merely illustrative in all respects and not exclusive. All changes which are within the scope of the invention or equivalent to the scope of the invention are encompassed by the invention.
