Description

Related applications are cross-referenced.

This application claims priority from a Chinese patent application filed on July 16, 2021, bearing application number 2021108064143, and entitled "Container and Side Plate Thereof," the entire text of which is incorporated herein by reference.

The present invention relates to a storage device, and in particular to a container and its side panels.

Modern large collapsible containers are typically made from a composite of plastic and metal reinforcement, with volumes ranging from approximately 250 to 1250 liters. These neutral composite bulk containers should be called IBCs. A collapsible IBC has a bottom and two pairs of collapsible side panels, preferably with a small door structure for easy loading and unloading. To meet hygiene and strength requirements, the side panels are generally two-layer welded, with flat surfaces on both the inside and outside. Currently, the two known welding processes are hot plate welding and vibration friction welding. Vibration friction welding is the preferred method for our company due to its high production efficiency and lack of smoke and odor pollution. Structurally, vibration friction welding requires one layer of the two side panels to be thick and the other thin, while hot plate welding requires the two side panels to be roughly the same thickness.

In vibration friction welding, a reinforcing metal tube is sandwiched between two layers of side panels. The metal tube is typically a steel or aluminum tube, and the inner and outer side panels are welded together to sandwich and secure the reinforcing member. The inner layer is thick and the outer layer is thin. After fluid or semi-fluid cargo is placed inside the IBC, the cargo exerts an outward force on the side panels. In particular, the IBC is subjected to inertial impact forces during transportation, causing significant deformation of the side panels. The ends of the metal tube apply a reaction force to the outer side panels through a fixed support force transmission method. This causes the outer side panels to protrude noticeably at the ends of the steel tube, resulting in stress whitening, posing potential concerns for the service life of the side panels and the safety of the box.

The object of the present invention is to provide a container and its side panels that are less likely to turn white and can be used more safely.

In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a side plate of a container, and the side plate of the container comprises:
a first plate;
a second plate body that is disposed opposite to and connected to the first plate body and has a thickness greater than that of the first plate body;
at least one first reinforcing member disposed within the second plate;
and a connecting member connected to the second plate for operably securing at least one of the first reinforcing members within the second plate.

In one embodiment, a first mounting groove for mounting the first reinforcing member is provided within the second plate, and the connecting member is connected to a first groove wall of the first mounting groove to fix at least one of the first reinforcing members within the first mounting groove.

In one embodiment, the first mounting groove has a pair of first groove walls that are opposed and spaced apart, and the first reinforcing member is mounted between the pair of first groove walls. A first notch is provided on the upper surface of the first reinforcing member, and the connecting member is mounted within the first notch, with both ends of the connecting member inserted into the two first groove walls, respectively.

In one embodiment, the first reinforcing member is elongated, and the first notch is formed at both ends of the first reinforcing member.

In one embodiment, each of the first groove walls has a plurality of pin holes arranged side by side in the extension direction of the first mounting groove, and the connecting member is operably inserted into the pin holes.

In one embodiment, the connecting member has a protruding position limiting buckle.

In one embodiment, an annular positioning flange is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting member.

In one embodiment, the connecting member has a slot.

In one embodiment, both ends of the first reinforcing member are fixed to the second plate body by the connecting member.

In one embodiment, the side plate further includes a second reinforcing member provided within the second plate, and the first plate and the second plate cooperate to sandwich the second reinforcing member.

In one embodiment, the second reinforcing member has a reinforcing body portion and extension portions provided at both ends of the reinforcing body portion, and an upper surface of the extension portions is lower than an upper surface of the reinforcing body portion,
The first plate has a pair of first cushion ribs that are operably abutted against the upper surfaces of the two extensions, respectively.

In one embodiment, a second mounting groove for mounting the second reinforcing member is formed in the second plate,
A pair of second cushion ribs are provided in the second mounting groove, and the pair of second cushion ribs cooperate with the pair of first cushion ribs to sandwich the second reinforcing member.

In one embodiment, the second plate body has a plurality of sequentially arranged second horizontal ribs and a plurality of sequentially arranged second vertical ribs, and the second horizontal ribs and the second vertical ribs are arranged in a staggered pattern, wherein at least two adjacent second horizontal ribs are spaced apart from each other to form the second mounting groove, and at least two adjacent second vertical ribs are spaced apart from each other to form a first mounting groove for mounting the first reinforcing member;
the first plate body has a plurality of first transverse ribs arranged in sequence, and at least two of the plurality of first transverse ribs are connected by welding to two adjacent second transverse ribs that form the second mounting groove, respectively;
The height of the two second vertical ribs forming the first mounting groove is greater than the height of the two second horizontal ribs forming the second mounting groove.

In one embodiment, the first reinforcing member is installed perpendicular to the second reinforcing member, and the second reinforcing member is located at the upper end of the first reinforcing member.

In one embodiment, the first reinforcing member is a metal tube and/or the second reinforcing member is a metal tube.

An embodiment of the present invention further provides a container comprising at least one side panel as described above, wherein a first plate of the side panel faces outward from the container and a second plate of the side panel faces inward from the container.

In contrast to the prior art, this embodiment of the present invention has a connecting member connected to the second plate, which secures the first reinforcing member to the second plate. Therefore, when an impact force received by the second plate is transmitted to the first reinforcing member, the first reinforcing member transmits the impact force to the connecting member, which then transmits the impact force to the second plate. This means that the impact force of the first reinforcing member is primarily transmitted to the second plate, and the second plate receives the force. This prevents the pressed portion of the first plate at the edge of the first reinforcing member from turning white after the first reinforcing member receives the impact force and presses against the first plate, thereby extending the life of the first plate and making the container safer to use.

In the following description, many directional terms are used to clearly illustrate the configuration and operation of the present invention, but terms such as "front," "rear," "left," "right," "outside," "inside," "outward-facing," "inward-facing," "up," and "down" should be understood as terms of convenience rather than limitations.

The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the side panel 10 of the container according to the first embodiment includes a first plate 1, a second plate 2, at least one first reinforcing member 5, and a connecting member 3. The second plate 2 is disposed opposite and connected to the first plate 1, and the thickness of the second plate 2 is greater than the thickness of the first plate 1. The first reinforcing member 5 is disposed within the second plate 2, and the connecting member 3 is connected to the second plate 2, operably fixing the at least one first reinforcing member 5 within the second plate 2.

From the above, when the connecting member 3 is connected to the second plate 2 and the connecting member 3 fixes the first reinforcing member 5 to the second plate 2, if an impact force received by the second plate 2 is transmitted to the first reinforcing member 5, the first reinforcing member 5 transmits the impact force to the connecting member 3, which then transmits the impact force to the second plate 2. As a result, the impact force of the first reinforcing member 5 is transmitted primarily to the second plate 2, and after the second plate 2 receives force and the first reinforcing member 5 receives force and presses against the first plate 1, the pressed portion of the first plate 1 at the end of the first reinforcing member 5 is prevented from turning white. This further extends the life of the first plate 1 and makes the container safer to use.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the second plate 2 has a first mounting groove 21 for mounting the first reinforcing member 5, and the connecting member 3 is connected to the first groove wall 22 of the first mounting groove 21, with at least one first reinforcing member 5 fixed within the first mounting groove 21. In other embodiments, the connecting member 3 may be connected to another portion of the second plate 2; for example, the connecting member 3 may press the first reinforcing member 5 and connect to a panel of the second plate 2. Alternatively, the second plate 2 may not have a first mounting groove 21, and the first reinforcing member 5 and the second plate 2 may be connected by the connecting member 3.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the first mounting groove 21 has a pair of first groove walls 22 that are spaced apart from each other, and the first reinforcing member 5 is mounted between the pair of first groove walls 22. A first notch 51 is formed on the upper surface of the first reinforcing member 5, and the connecting member 3 is mounted in the first notch 51, with both ends of the connecting member 3 inserted into the two first groove walls 22, respectively. In other embodiments, the connecting member 3 may be fixed to the second plate 2 in other forms; for example, it is understood that a through-hole through which the connecting member 3 passes is opened (drilled) in the first reinforcing member 5, and the connecting member 3 passes through the first groove wall 22 and the first reinforcing member 5.

Preferably, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, both ends of the first reinforcing member 5 are fixed to the second plate 2 by connecting members 3. Specifically, a first notch 51 is formed at both ends of the first reinforcing member 5. The first reinforcing member 5 may be elongated, square, or have any other irregular shape. Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the first reinforcing member 5 may be a metal pipe, such as an iron pipe or an aluminum pipe. It is understood that the first reinforcing member may also be a plastic pipe. A connecting member 3 is pressed and held into each of the first notches 51 at both ends of the first reinforcing member 5, thereby fixing both ends of the first reinforcing member 5. Furthermore, there may be multiple connecting members 3 extruded at each end of the first reinforcing member 5, but of course there may also be only one. In other embodiments, it is understood that the first reinforcing member 5 may be fixed to the second plate 2 at another position using the connecting member 3. For example, a notch may be formed in the middle section of the first reinforcing member 5, and the connecting member 3 may be fitted into the first notch 51 and then inserted into the two first groove walls 22 to press and hold the second plate 2 against the first mounting groove 21, thereby fixing it in place.

As shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the connecting member 3 may be a latch pin, and each first groove wall 22 has a plurality of pin holes 220 arranged side by side in the extension direction of the first mounting groove 21, and the connecting members 3 are operably inserted into the pin holes 220. This allows multiple connecting members 3 to be provided so as to stably fix the first reinforcing member 5, and different portions of the first reinforcing member 5 may be fixed by selecting appropriate pin holes 220.

Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, a positioning flange 32 is provided annularly on the outer periphery of the connecting member 3. After the connecting member 3 is attached to a predetermined position, it is inserted into the two first groove walls 22 to press and hold the first reinforcing member 5, and then the flange abuts against the side of one of the first groove walls 22 opposite the first attachment groove, regulating the position of the connecting member 3.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the connecting member 3 is provided with a protruding position limiting buckle 33. After the connecting member 3 is attached, the position limiting buckle 33 abuts against the side of one of the first groove walls 22 facing the first mounting groove and hooks around the pin hole 220, preventing the connecting member 3 from coming out of the first groove wall 22 after attachment. When attaching the connecting member 3, as the connecting member 3 is inserted into the pin hole 220, the position limiting buckle 33 is also pushed into the pin hole 220, and after the connecting member 3 is inserted into the specified position, the position limiting buckle 33 comes out of the pin hole 220 again and hooks around the pin hole 220.

Specifically, as shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the flange and the position limiting buckle 33 cooperate to sandwich one first groove wall 22 between the flange and the position limiting buckle 33, thereby stably connecting the connecting member 3 and the second plate body 2 and stably fixing the first reinforcing member 5.

In other embodiments, either the positioning flange 32 or the position limiting buckle 33 may be provided. If only the positioning flange 32 is provided, it is understood that a fixing sleeve may be installed at the end of the connecting member 3 that does not have the positioning flange 32, and the fixing sleeve may be fitted onto the end of the connecting member 3 that does not have the positioning flange 32 to fix the connecting member 3 to the second plate body 2 so that the connecting member 3 cannot slip out from the two first side walls. Similarly, if only the position limiting buckle 33 is provided, the connecting member 3 is similarly fixed to the second plate body 2 by a fixing sleeve. Of course, the connecting member 3 may also be fixed to the second plate body 2 by other connection methods such as welding or screwing.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, by opening a groove 34 in the connecting member 3, the connecting member 3 is given elasticity to facilitate attachment and detachment of the connecting member 3 to the first groove wall 22.

In other embodiments, the connecting member 3 may be a latch pin or a locking member such as a bolt. Alternatively, the connecting member 3 may include a protruding member fixed to the first reinforcing member 5 and a bolt detachably connected to the first reinforcing member 5, with the protruding member inserted into one of the first groove walls 22 and the bolt inserted into the other first groove wall 22 and locked to the first reinforcing member 5 with a screw.

Furthermore, the first reinforcing member 5 may be one or more, and all may be connected to the second plate body 2 in the fixed manner described above. Here, the first reinforcing member 5 can be installed either vertically or horizontally, or, in the case of multiple first reinforcing members 5, the extension lines of the tubes of the first reinforcing members 5 can be configured to form any angle.

The second embodiment of the present invention relates to a side panel 20 of a container. The second embodiment is substantially similar to the first embodiment, with the main difference being that the first embodiment does not include the second reinforcing member 6. On the other hand, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the side panel 20 further includes a second reinforcing member 6 provided on the second plate body 2, as shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, and the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 cooperate to sandwich the second reinforcing member 6. In this example, the second reinforcing member 6 is a metal pipe, such as an iron pipe or an aluminum pipe. It will be understood that the second reinforcing pipe may also be a plastic pipe.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, the second reinforcing member 6 has a reinforcing main body portion 61 and extension portions 62 provided at both ends of the reinforcing main body portion 61 and having upper surfaces lower than the upper surface of the reinforcing main body portion 61, and the first plate body 1 has a pair of first cushion ribs 13 that operably abut against the upper surfaces of the two extension portions 62, respectively. The extension portions 62 are sandwiched between the first cushion ribs 13 and the second plate body 2.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, a second mounting groove 23 for mounting the second reinforcing member 6 is formed in the second plate 2, and a pair of second cushion ribs (not shown) are provided in the second mounting groove 23, which cooperate with the pair of first cushion ribs 13 to clamp the second reinforcing member 6. This secures the second reinforcing member 6. The provision of the second mounting groove 23 also limits the position of the second reinforcing member 6, preventing it from moving and facilitating installation of the second reinforcing member 6.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, the second plate body 2 has a plurality of second horizontal ribs 25 arranged in sequence and a plurality of second vertical ribs 26 arranged in sequence, the second horizontal ribs 25 and the second vertical ribs 26 are arranged in a staggered pattern, at least two adjacent second horizontal ribs 25 are spaced from each other to form a second mounting groove 23, the two second horizontal ribs 25 forming the second mounting groove 23 are second groove walls 24, at least two second vertical ribs 26 are spaced from each other to form a first mounting groove 21 in which the first reinforcing member 5 is placed, and the two second vertical ribs 26 forming the first mounting groove 21 are first groove walls 22. In the following, as shown in Figures 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14, the two second horizontal ribs 25 forming the second mounting groove 23 are described as second groove walls 24, and the two second vertical ribs 26 forming the first mounting groove 21 are described as first groove walls 22. The thickness of the second plate body 2 in the area of the first groove wall 22 in the figures is D1, and the thickness of the second plate body 2 in the area of the second groove wall 24 is D2. The height of the first groove wall 22 is higher than the height of the second groove wall 24, so that D1 is greater than D2. The first plate 1 has a plurality of first transverse ribs 11 arranged in sequence and a plurality of second longitudinal ribs 26 arranged in sequence. The height of the first transverse rib 11 welded to correspond to the second groove wall 24 is higher than the other first transverse ribs 11 and the first longitudinal ribs 12. That is, the height of the first plate 1 corresponding to the first transverse rib 11 welded to correspond to the second groove wall 24 is D4, and the height of the first plate 1 corresponding to the other first transverse ribs 11 is D3, with D4 being greater than D3.

From the above, it can be seen that the area of the first plate 1 corresponding to the end of the second reinforcing member 6 is thick, and after the first reinforcing member 5 is subjected to an impact force, the area of the first plate 1 corresponding to the end of the first reinforcing member 5 is less likely to turn white. Furthermore, the other areas of the first plate 1 remain thin, and no noticeable shrinkage marks appear on the surface.

The second reinforcing member 6 may be one or more, and all may be connected to the second plate body 2 in the fixed manner described above. Here, the first reinforcing member 5 can be installed either vertically or horizontally, or, in the case of multiple second reinforcing members 6, the extension lines of the second reinforcing members 6 can be configured to form any angle.

Furthermore, the first reinforcing member 5 is installed perpendicular to the second reinforcing member 6, and the second reinforcing member 6 is located at the upper end of the first reinforcing member 5. It is understood that the first reinforcing member 5 may form any angle, such as 30° or 45°, with respect to the extension line of the second reinforcing member 6. Preferably, the center line of the first reinforcing member 5 is the mid-perpendicular line of the second reinforcing member 6.

The second reinforcing member 6 may be located above the first reinforcing member 5, below the first reinforcing tube, or on the side plate 20; this will not be described in detail here.

The second embodiment and this embodiment correspond to each other, so this embodiment can be implemented in cooperation with the second embodiment. Note that the technical details mentioned in the second embodiment are also valid in this embodiment, and the technical effects achievable in the second embodiment can also be achieved in this embodiment, so they will not be mentioned here to reduce redundancy. Correspondingly, the technical details described in this embodiment can also be applied to the second embodiment.

A third embodiment of the present invention relates to a container including at least one side panel of the first embodiment or one of the side panels of the second embodiment, and may include both side panels of the first and second embodiments. A first panel 1 of the side panel faces outside the container, and a second panel 2 of the side panel faces inside the container 100. Within the container, the side panels are connected to adjacent side panels by interlocking structures 90.

Specifically, in the example shown in Figure 15, the container 100 comprises a bottom plate 81, a pair of opposing long side plates 82, and a pair of opposing short side plates 83, with the long side plates 82 and short side plates 83 both connected to the bottom plate 81. Here, the pair of short side plates 83 may both be the side plates of the first embodiment described above, or both may be the side plates of the second embodiment described above, or one of the pair of short side plates 83 may be the side plate of the first embodiment described above, and the other may be the side plate of the first embodiment described above.

In other embodiments, all of the long side panels 82 may be the side panels of the first embodiment described above, or all of the long side panels 82 may be the side panels of the second embodiment described above, or one of a pair of long side panels 82 may be the side panel of the first embodiment described above, and the other may be the side panel of the first embodiment described above.

In other embodiments, each side panel of the container may be the same length, or the container may have fewer than four or more than four side panels.

While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it should be understood that aspects of the embodiments can be modified, if necessary, to provide additional embodiments using aspects, features, and concepts from various patents, applications, and publications.

These and other changes can be made to the embodiments in light of the above detailed description. In general, in the claims, the terms used should not be construed as being limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the description and claims, but should be understood to include all possible embodiments along with all equivalents to which these claims are entitled.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-described embodiments are specific examples for implementing the present invention, and that in actual applications, various changes in form and detail are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
