In the following description, a detailed structure will be presented for a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. It is apparent that the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention, however, the invention is capable of other embodiments in addition to those detailed.

The invention provides a container. The container may be a top-opening container. The container may be a 20 foot container as specified by the international organization for standardization. Referring to fig. 1 to 7, the container includes a bottom frame 110, side walls and end walls. The chassis 110, side walls and end walls are configured in a generally rectangular parallelepiped configuration. The container may be used to transport rolled cargo 170.

As shown in fig. 2, the bottom chassis 110 has a plurality of (e.g., 3 to 7, 5 shown in fig. 1 to 4) grooves 111 with large top and small bottom. The plurality of grooves 111 are provided at intervals along the length direction of the bottom chassis 110. Referring to fig. 5 to 7, the groove 111 has a bottom surface disposed horizontally and two inclined surfaces 113 inclined to the horizontal direction. The inclined surface 113 is located on a side of the bottom surface in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in fig. 5) of the bottom chassis 110.

Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the groove 111 (which is perpendicular to the width direction of the bottom chassis 110) may be configured in a V-shape or an inverted trapezoid shape. Thus, the structure of the groove 111 is simple.

Preferably, referring to fig. 5 to 7, the underframe 110 has a cross member 180. The cross member 180 may be made of square steel. The diagonal cross member 180 is disposed along the width direction of the base frame 110. The ends of the cross member 180 are connected to the bottom side members. One side surface of the oblique beam 180 is parallel to the inclined surface 113 of the groove 111 and attached to the groove wall of the groove 111 to support the groove wall of the groove 111.

Preferably, referring to fig. 5 to 7, the container further includes a reinforcing plate 160. The reinforcing plate 160 may be laid and connected to a portion of the slope 113 of the groove 111. So that the reinforcing plate 160 can reinforce the strength of the slope 113 of the groove 111. The plurality of reinforcing plates 160 are disposed at intervals in the width direction of the bottom chassis 110. The reinforcing plate 160 has a second inclined surface 112 substantially parallel to the inclined surface 113 of the groove 111. The angle of intersection between the second inclined surface 112 and the horizontal direction is a second included angle α 2.

When small rolled goods with small diameter are transported by the container, the rolled goods can be supported by the bottom surface of the groove 111 and the second slope 112 of the reinforcing plate 160. When the container transports the medium-sized rolled goods having a large diameter, the rolled goods may be supported by the second slope 112 of the reinforcing plate 160. When a large rolled goods with a larger diameter is transported by the container, the rolled goods can be supported by the first slope 153 of the later flip 150. It should be noted that the diameters of small rolled goods, medium rolled goods, and large rolled goods are increasing in order.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, the container further includes a connecting arm 120, a flip cover 150, a first rotating shaft 130, and a second rotating shaft 140. The axis of the first rotating shaft 130 and the axis of the second rotating shaft 140 both extend in the width direction of the base frame 110. As shown in fig. 6, a line connecting the center of the cross section of the first rotating shaft 130 (which is perpendicular to the width direction of the base frame 110) and the center of the cross section of the second rotating shaft 140 (which is perpendicular to the width direction of the base frame 110) constitutes a center line.

The cross member 180 is provided with a recess. The groove 111 is provided with a relief hole communicating with the recess. The avoiding hole and the concave part form an avoiding groove. The relief groove is located at the upper edge of the ramp 113 of the groove 111. One end of the connecting arm 120 is pivotally connected to the escape slot by a first rotating shaft 130. The other end of the connecting arm 120 is pivotally connected to the folder 150 by a second rotating shaft 140. In this manner, the flip 150 can be moved between the open position and the closed position. The flip 150 in the open position may open the opening of the recess 111, and the rolled goods 170 may be supported by the reinforcing plate 160 and/or the flip 150 within the recess 111. The flip 150 in the closed position may close the opening of the recess 111. The rear bearing surface is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the underframe 110 at this time, and other goods than the rolled goods 170 can be transported by the container.

Preferably, each of the covers 150 may be connected to the chassis 110 by at least two connecting arms 120 spaced apart in a width direction of the chassis 110.

In this embodiment, the cover 150 is pivotally connected to one end of the connecting arm 120, and the other end of the connecting arm 120 is pivotally connected to the bottom frame 110, so that the cover 150 can move between an open position and a closed position, and the cover 150 is located at the open position, and the groove 111 can be exposed to transport the rolled goods 170. The opening of the groove 111 can be closed by positioning the flip 150 at the closed position, and the container can be used for transporting bulk or dry goods, thereby improving the return utilization rate of the container.

The flip 150 is pivotally connected to the chassis 110 by the connecting arm 120, and the movement of the flip 150 is more flexible, reducing the possibility of interference between the corner of the moving flip 150 and the chassis 110.

Preferably, when the lid 150 is in the closed position, none of the connecting arm 120, the first rotating shaft 130, and the second rotating shaft 140 protrudes from the upper surface of the bottom chassis 110. When the lid 150 is in the open position, the connecting arm 120, the first rotating shaft 130, and the second rotating shaft 140 are located on a side of the first inclined surface 153 close to the bottom bracket 110. Therefore, the goods are convenient to transport.

Preferably, the aforementioned center line is horizontally disposed when the lid 150 is in the closed position. The angle between the center line and the horizontal when the lid 150 is in the open position may range from 30 to 60. At this time, the first rotating shaft 130 is positioned below the second rotating shaft 140 in the height direction of the bottom chassis 110. It is further preferred that the angle between the center line and the horizontal direction is 45 ° when the lid 150 is in the open position. The angle may be equal to the first angle α 1 hereinafter.

With continued reference to fig. 5 to 7, the flip cover 150 includes a first flip cover 151 and a second flip cover 152. The first covers 151 and the second covers 152 correspond one to one. The first flap 151 and the corresponding second flap 152 are used to close the opening of the same recess 111. Thus, the weight of the folder 150 is small, and it is convenient for an operator to move the folder 150.

Preferably, the flip 150 has a flip body 157. The flip body 157 has a cross-sectional shape (which is perpendicular to the width direction of the chassis 110) configured as a right-angled triangle structure. Thus, the strength of the folder 150 is high. In addition, the flip body 157 of the flip is constructed in a right triangle structure, and the occupied space of the flip 150 in the open position is small, so that the minimum size between the adjacent recesses 111 can be reduced as much as possible to increase the number of the recesses 111 as much as possible.

As shown in FIG. 5, the right triangle configuration includes a first cathetus, a second cathetus, and a hypotenuse. The beveled edge has a first bevel 153. When the lid 150 is in the closed position, the first inclined surface 153 is attached to the inclined surface 113 of the groove 111. Thus, the inclined surface 113 of the groove 111 supports the folder 150. Whereby the folder 150 can be more smoothly stopped at the closed position.

Preferably, referring to fig. 3, 5 to 7, the folder 150 has a receiving groove 158 corresponding to the reinforcing plate 160 at the first slope 153. The receiving groove 158 of the folder 150 in the closed position is used to receive the reinforcing plate 160 corresponding thereto. Thus, when the lid 150 is in the closed position, the reinforcing plate 160 is located in the receiving groove 158. At this time, the reinforcing plate 160 acts on the receiving groove 158 to restrict the movement of the folder 150 in the width direction of the chassis 110, so that the folder 150 can be more smoothly stopped at the closed position. In addition, the bottom wall of the receiving groove 158 is attached to the second slope 112 of the reinforcing plate 160. Thus, the second inclined surface 112 of the reinforcing plate 160 and the inclined surface 113 of the groove 111 support the folder 150 together.

Referring to fig. 6 to 7, when the flip 150 is located at the open position, the flip 150 is located above the bottom chassis 110. At this time, an angle between the first inclined surface 153 and the horizontal direction is a first intersection angle α 1. The first intersection angle α 1 is substantially equal to the second intersection angle α 2. The plane in which the first slope 153 is located at this time extends through the second slope 112. Thus, the first and second inclined surfaces 153 and 112 are substantially flush. Thus, the reinforcing plate 160, the groove 111, and the first and second covers 151 and 152 connected thereto may constitute a groove having a larger size, and thus may be used to transport rolled goods having a large diameter.

Referring to fig. 6, the flip cover 150 further has a carrying portion 154. The carrier 154 is laid and connected to the first right-angle side. The bearing part 154 has a bearing surface (the upper surface of the bearing part 154 when the flip 150 is located at the closed position). When the cover 150 is in the closed position, the carrying surface is flush with the upper surface of the chassis 110 (the upper surface of the floor of the chassis 110). When the flip cover 150 is located at the open position, the flip cover 150 is located above the bottom chassis 110, and the carrying surface is overlapped to the upper surface of the bottom chassis 110. In this way, the flip 150 may be supported by the chassis 110.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the flip body 157 includes a first flip body of the first flip 151, and a second flip body of the second flip 152. In the first lid 151, along the extending direction of the first right-angle side, the free end of the bearing part 154 protrudes from the end of the first right-angle side far from the second rotating shaft 140 to form a bridging part 156.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in the second flip 152, a free end of the first right-angle edge (an end of the first right-angle edge away from the second rotating shaft 140) protrudes out of the bearing portion 154 to form a step structure, so as to form an engaging portion 155 corresponding to the overlapping portion 156 of the first flip 151. The bearing part 154 is located inside the free end of the first right-angle side (the side of the free end of the first right-angle side close to the second rotating shaft 140) along the extending direction of the first right-angle side. Along the extending direction of the first right-angle edge, the engaging portion 155 is located on a side of the bearing portion 154 away from the second rotating shaft 140.

As shown in fig. 5, when the lid 150 is in the closed position, the overlapping portion 156 of the first lid 151 overlaps the mating portion 155 of the second lid 152. At this time, the bearing surface of the bearing part 154 of the first flip cover 151 and the bearing surface of the bearing part 154 of the second flip cover 152 are substantially flush. In this way, the size of the gap between the bearing part 154 of the first flip 151 and the bearing part 154 of the second flip 152 can be reduced as much as possible, so that the bulk cargo can be transported by the container.

It will be appreciated that in embodiments not shown, the chassis may not include a stiffener plate. At this time, the slope of the groove constitutes a second slope. Thus, when the flip cover is in the open position, the first inclined surface is approximately flush with the second inclined surface. When the flip cover is located at the closed position, the first inclined plane is attached to the second inclined plane.
