In the following, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate representative embodiments of the invention and do not limit the invention.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the present invention provides a platform container (hereinafter, simply referred to as a platform box) 100 including an underframe platform 101. The structure of the undercarriage platform 101 is substantially the same as that of an undercarriage platform of a general platform box. In particular, the undercarriage platform 101 comprises a platform structure 110 having a loading plane and corner structures 120 arranged at four end corners. The corner structure 120 may be welded directly to the platform structure 110. In the illustrated embodiment, the loading plane is substantially flush with the top surface of the corner structure 120, e.g., the top surface of the corner structure 120 is slightly above the loading plane.

The platform box 100 further includes a column 130 provided at the corner structure 120 so that lateral and vertical movement of the cargo can be restricted when hoisted, preventing the cargo from tilting and/or tipping over. The uprights 130 are detachably mounted to the corner structures 120 so that, when empty boxes are transported back, the uprights 130 can be detached from the undercarriage platforms 101 without interfering with the transport of the platform boxes 100 back on top of each other.

To facilitate the detachable connection of the post 130 to the corner structure 120 by means of a fastening assembly, the corner structure 120 may be provided with end corner top holes 124 at the top and end corner side holes 125 at the sides. That is, the columns 130 are fixed at the end corners of the undercarriage platform 101, the end corner top holes 124 are provided at the top of the end corners, and the end corner side holes 125 are provided at the side of the end corners. The top of the upright 130 may be provided with a corner piece 131 and the bottom of the upright 130 may be provided with a downwardly extending mounting portion 132. The mounting portion 132 may have a mounting hole 133, and the mounting portion 132 may be vertically insertable into an end corner of the undercarriage platform 101, in particular, into the corner structure 120, via the end corner top hole 124. The fastening assembly includes fasteners 140, the fasteners 140 being capable of extending laterally through the mounting holes 133 and the corner side holes 125 to secure the mounting portions 132 to the corners so that the uprights 130 are removably mounted to the undercarriage platform 101.

In the state where the mounting portion 132 is inserted into the end corner, the bottom surface of the pillar 130 abuts against the top surface of the undercarriage platform 101 at the end corner, i.e. against the top surface of the corner structure 120.

For ease of understanding, the direction of penetration and/or extraction of the fastener 140 hereinafter defines the first direction D. It should be noted that directional terms used herein in describing the various components and their positional relationships in the platform box 100, such as "top," "bottom," "upper," "lower," "downward," "above," "below," "upward," etc., are relative to the platform box 100 in an upright position.

The corner structure 120 may be provided with two corresponding end corner side holes 125. In a state where the mounting portion 132 is inserted into the corner structure 120, the mounting hole 133 is located between the two end corner side holes 125. Specifically, the corner structure 120 in the present embodiment may include an end corner bottom piece 121, an end corner top plate 122, and two supporting pieces 123 connecting the end corner bottom piece 121 and the end corner top plate 122. The corner top plate 122 may be disposed above the two supports 123, and further, the two supports 123 are connected to the bottom of the corner top plate 122. The two supporting members 123 are spaced apart. The corner top panel 122 may extend at least partially in the transverse direction and be provided with a corner top aperture 124. The end corner side holes 125 may be respectively and correspondingly disposed on the two supporters 123.

The mounting portion 132 can be inserted into the vertex angle hole 124 and deep between the two supporting members 123. Fasteners 140 can be passed through the corner side holes 125 and the mounting holes 133 on the two supports 123, respectively, to lock the post 130.

In an embodiment not shown, the fastener 140 is mounted directly to the support 123 through the end corner side aperture 125. The end corner side holes 125 are mated with fasteners 140 so that the fasteners 140 can pass through the mounting holes 133 and the end corner side holes 125 to directly effect locking of the stud 130.

It should be noted that "match" as referred to herein may include a match in size, as well as a match in shape. For example, with the above embodiment, matching the end corner side holes 125 with the fasteners 140 means that the bore diameter of the end corner side holes 125 matches the radial dimension of the fasteners 140, and the shape of the end corner side holes 125 matches the shape of the fasteners 140.

In the illustrated embodiment, the fastening assembly can further include a stop block 150. The stop block 150 may be mated with the end corner side aperture 125 and removably retained within the end corner side aperture 125. The stopper 150 is provided with a stopper hole 151 for the fastening member 140 to pass through, and the stopper hole 151 may be a through hole on the stopper 150. In this embodiment, the limiting hole 151 is matched with the fastening element 140, when the upright 130 is installed, the fastening element 140 can pass through the installation hole 133 and the limiting hole 151 after the limiting block 150 is installed to the end corner side hole 125, and the upright 130 is locked by means of the limiting block 150. The stopper 150 not only can realize the installation of the fastening member 140, but also can improve the locking force of the fastening member 140.

For example, the dimension of the stop block 150 in the first direction D may be greater than the dimension of the end corner side hole 125 in the first direction D. Thus, the locking area of the fastening member 140 and the supporting member 123 can be increased by the stopper 150, and the contact stress between the fastening member and the supporting member can be improved.

Additionally, the corner side holes 125 may also be configured to accommodate hand penetration by an operator to facilitate an operator's toggle lock operation at the corners by way of the corner side holes 125.

The fastening assembly further includes a stop block 150 as an example to be further described below.

The stoppers 150 correspond to the end corner side holes 125 one-to-one, and further, the fastening assembly includes two stoppers 150, and the two stoppers 150 can be respectively installed in the end corner side holes 125 of the two supporting members 123. When the column 130 is in a locked state, the two stoppers 150 are respectively located on two sides of the mounting portion 132 and tighten the mounting portion 132.

In the illustrated embodiment, the two supports 123 may be disposed in parallel, for example, two vertical plates disposed in parallel. The support 123 can extend between the corner top plate 122 and the corner bottom piece 121. Since the support 123 is located below the end corner top plate 122, it is defined that the end corner side hole 125 is a hole corresponding to a position below the end corner top hole 124.

The corner top apertures 124 may extend vertically and the corner side apertures 125 may extend laterally. In this embodiment, the end corner side holes 125 extend in a first direction D, which is a direction extending in the lateral direction. In other words, the first direction D is the same as the extending direction of the end corner side hole 125. In a state where the pillar 130 is mounted to the corner structure 120, the mounting hole 133 extends in the first direction D in the same direction as the end corner side hole 125. The mounting holes 133 mate with the fasteners 140 so that the mounting portion 132 is securely captured by the fasteners 140.

In a state where the mounting portion 132 of the pillar 130 is inserted into the vertex angle hole 124, the center line of the mounting hole 133 of the mounting portion 132 is collinear with the center line of the stopper hole 151, that is, their respective center lines extend in the first direction D. The fastener 140 can be threaded or pulled in a direction in which the center line extends (i.e., the first direction D). The center line of the limiting hole 151 extends along the length direction or the width direction of the platform container, and further, the first direction D may be the length direction or the width direction of the platform container. The specific structure of the supporter 123 in this embodiment is not limited, and it may be any member having the above-described corner side hole 125.

The stopper 150 can penetrate from the outside of the corner side hole 125 to the corner side hole 125 and abut to the mounting portion 132 (fig. 3). The stopper 150 is partially stopped in the corner side hole 125 and partially positioned between the mounting portion 132 and the supporting member 123. In other words, the stopper 150 can protrude from the end corner side hole 125 and abut against the mounting portion 132. Thus, after the fastener 140 is installed, the mounting portion 132 can be clamped between the two stoppers 150 to prevent the mounting portion 132 from shaking or moving in the first direction D. Further, as shown in fig. 3, the extending direction of the fastening member 140 is collinear with the extending direction of the two limiting holes 151, and the fastening member 140 sequentially passes through the limiting block 150 on one side, the mounting portion 132 and the limiting block 150 on the other side, so that the mounting portion 132 is clamped between the two limiting blocks 150.

The stopper 150 can only relatively move in the first direction D. In this embodiment, the end corner side holes 125 may be elongated, such as rectangular, in shape. The stop block 150 may be an elongated block. The dimension of the limiting block 150 along the first direction D may be greater than the dimension of the supporting member 123 along the first direction D, for example, the dimension of the mounting portion 132 along the first direction D may be (1.5-3) times, for example, 1.5 times, 2 times, 2.5 times, 3 times, of the dimension of one limiting block 150 along the first direction D. The total size of the two stoppers 150 and the mounting portion 132 in the first direction D is greater than the interval between the two supporting members 123.

Optionally, the corner top panel 122 extends partially in the transverse direction, and the corner top aperture 124 is a closed or open aperture, shown as an open aperture, in the corner top panel 122. Referring back to fig. 1, the corner top plate 122 in the drawing is an angular plate which is turned upside down on the top of the support 123, the vertical side wall 126 is connected to the side surfaces of both the supports 123, and the lateral side wall 127 is formed with corner top holes 124 and is connected to the top surfaces of both the supports 123. The thickness of the lateral side walls is greater than the thickness of the vertical side walls. The corner top plate 122 has a high structural strength and is capable of supporting another platform box located above when the empty box is returned, in other words, the corner top plate 122 is a stacking plate.

The end corner side holes 125 may have an opening toward the end corner top plate 122, i.e., the end corner side holes 125 are open at the upper end and open upward. The stop block 150 abuts the end corner top plate 122 when being stopped into the end corner side hole 125. That is, the limiting block 150 is limited between the end corner top plate 122 and the supporting member 123, and the limiting block 150 can be directly abutted to the end corner top plate 122. When the platform box 100 is hoisted, the detachable post 130 can connect the mounting portion 132 and the corner structure 120 together by the fastener 140, thereby lifting the platform box 100 integrally.

The top corner piece 131 of the upright 130 may be a corner piece with top and side holes, preferably a standard corner piece for a container. The bottom of the mast 130 is provided with a mast base plate 134, and the mounting portion 132 extends downwardly from the mast base plate 134. The column bottom plate 134 and the mounting portion 132 have high structural strength, and can bear the weight of the platform box 100 when the platform box 100 is hoisted. The dimension of the mounting portion 132 in the first direction D is greater than the dimension of one stopper 150 in the first direction D. The mounting portion 132 mates with the angle vertex hole 124 so that the mounting portion 132 can be better retained within the angle vertex hole 124, the mounting portion 132 being only able to move relative to one another in the vertical direction. The corner tip holes 124 may be closed elongated holes or open elongated holes, such as rectangular holes. The cross-sectional shape of the mounting portion 132 in the transverse direction corresponds to the corner hole 124 and is also elongated. Alternatively, the end corner bottom corner fitting 121 may be a corner fitting with top and side holes, preferably a standard corner fitting for containers.

In the embodiment of the platform tank shown in fig. 1-3, one end of the fastener 140 is headed and the other end opposite the one end is threaded. That is, the fastener 140 is a rod member, such as a bolt, having a head at one end and a thread at the other end. When the other end of the fastener 140 is passed out, it can be locked by the nut 141.

The installation process of the column 130 is as follows:

firstly, the mounting part 132 is inserted through the end corner top hole 124, then the two limit blocks 150 are respectively mounted in the corresponding end corner side holes 125, at this time, the center line of the mounting hole 133 of the mounting part 132 is collinear with the center line of the limit hole 151, and finally, the fastening part 140 sleeved with a gasket sequentially extends to penetrate the limit block 150 on one side, the mounting part 132 and the limit block 150 on the other side and penetrates through the other gasket and is locked by the nut 141. Thus, by means of the fastening members 140, the columns 130 can be detachably mounted to the corner structures 120 at the time of lifting so as to restrict the movement of the cargo on the platform box 100, and the columns 130 can be detached from the corner structures 120 at the time of empty box return so as to facilitate stacking return of the platform boxes 100. Because the mounting portion 132 is matched with the corner top hole 124 and the limiting block 150 is matched with the corner side hole 125, a stable and compact structure (as shown in fig. 2) can be formed after the upright 130 and the undercarriage platform 101 are connected.

In another embodiment of the platform box shown in fig. 4, one end of the fastener 240 is headed and the other end opposite the one end is provided with a pin hole. That is, the fastener 240 is a rod member, such as a bolt, having a head at one end and a pin hole at the other end. When the other end of the fastener 240 is passed out, the bolt 241 may be inserted into the pin hole to lock the fastener 240.

In yet another embodiment of the platform tank shown in fig. 5 and 6, the fastener 340 tapers in size in the first direction from one end (i.e., a wide head end) to the other end opposite the one end (i.e., a narrow head end). The maximum dimension of the wide head end is greater than the maximum dimensions of the two limiting holes 351, and the minimum dimension of the narrow head end is less than the minimum dimensions of the two limiting holes 351. The narrow head end may be provided with a thread. The fastener 340 is a tapered rod member, such as a tapered pin, whose cross-sectional shape is circular. The limiting holes 351 are matched with the fasteners 340, and it can be known that the two limiting holes 351 are tapered holes with gradually reduced sizes. Mounting hole 333 may be matched to fastener 340, it being understood that mounting hole 333 is also a tapered hole with a tapered size. The narrow end of the fastener 340 is provided with threads, and the narrow end of the fastener 340 can be fastened by a nut 341 after being passed out.

In the illustrated embodiment, the fastener 340 is shaped as a concentric cone, but may be an eccentric cone.

In yet another embodiment of the platform tank shown in fig. 7 and 8, the fasteners are wedge-shaped blocks that taper in size in a first direction from one end (i.e., a wide head end) to the other end opposite the one end (i.e., a narrow head end), the cross-sectional shape of which is square. The limiting holes 451 are matched with the wedge blocks 440, and it can be known that the two limiting holes 451 are tapered holes with gradually reduced sizes. The mounting hole 433 may be matched to the wedge block 440, and it is understood that the mounting hole 433 is also a tapered wedge hole with a decreasing size. The maximum dimension of the wide head end of the wedge block 440 is greater than the maximum dimension of the two retaining holes 451 and the minimum dimension of the narrow head end of the wedge block 440 is less than the minimum dimension of the two retaining holes 451. The narrow head end of the wedge-shaped block 440 is provided with a thread, and the narrow head end of the wedge-shaped block 440 can be locked by a nut 441 after penetrating out.

In the illustrated embodiment, the end side surface F1 of the wedge 440 is a vertically extending plane (in the position shown in fig. 7), the first side surface F2 of the wedge is substantially perpendicular to the end side surface, and the second side surface F3 opposite to the first side surface F2 is inclined with respect to the first side surface F2 (inclined with respect to the horizontal plane), i.e., the wedge 440 is a wedge having a slope, which further limits the rotation of the mounting portion 432 and the stop block 450. The second side surface F3 may face upward or downward. In an embodiment not shown, first side F2 and second side F3 of wedge block 440 may both be sloped, i.e., wedge block 440 is a sloped wedge block having two opposing slopes.
