All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

In the field of railway transportation, the direction of extension of the rail is commonly referred to as the "longitudinal direction"; the direction perpendicular to the "longitudinal direction", i.e. the direction in which the rails are spaced apart, is referred to as the "transverse direction", and thus the "longitudinal" and "transverse" directions in the extension direction, the distribution direction of the parts in the container side lifting and transferring system 100 of the present application are the same as defined above. The following describes the application in detail by way of specific examples:

Referring to fig. 1, in order to solve the technical problems of inflexible switching of multi-type intermodal transportation equipment and interference with railway power grid lines in the prior art, the application provides a container side hoisting and transporting system 100 which is arranged beside a railway line and can directly butt-joint railway flatcars to load and unload containers 200. The location of the container intermodal side loading and unloading system may be divided into the following areas depending on the function of each area where the container side loading and unloading system 100 is located: railway loading and unloading areas (area a) and highway loading and unloading areas (area B). Wherein the railway loading and unloading area (area a), i.e. the area where the railway flatcar is traveling, the loading and unloading of the container 200 can be performed when the railway flatcar is stopped beside the loading and unloading system. The highway loading and unloading area (area B) is an area where a container truck (abbreviated as a truck 400) travels or where a container is stored, and the truck 400 stops beside the loading and unloading system to and from which the container 200 can be loaded and unloaded.

The container side lifting and transferring system 100 has a structure as shown in fig. 1,2, 3 and 5, and comprises a running mechanism 10, a support assembly 20, a running beam assembly 30, a lifting device 40, a transverse beam assembly 50, a transverse displacement mechanism 60 and a lifting appliance assembly 70.

The support structure 20 is adjacent to the railway loading and unloading area (area a) so as to enable the transportation of the male rail of the container, and the support structure 20 simultaneously serves as a mounting foundation for the running gear 10 and the running beam structure 30. The traversing beam assembly 50 can be moved along the walking beam assembly 30 to transfer the container 200.

The support assembly 20 is used for installing the walking beam assembly 30 and the walking mechanism 10, the support assembly 20 at least comprises at least four upright post assemblies 21 which are distributed at intervals, and a driving area is formed between every two adjacent upright post assemblies 21 for the transportation of a truck or other container transportation vehicles.

The spacing between two adjacent column assemblies 21 in the longitudinal direction should be greater than the length of a 40ft/45ft container to ensure that the container can pass between the two column assemblies 21 smoothly. The distance between two adjacent upright post assemblies 21 along the transverse direction should be larger than the width of the collector card, so that the collector card can run smoothly. In some embodiments, the support assembly 20 includes at least four column assemblies 21 spaced apart and at least two stringers spaced apart, wherein two stringers are mounted to the bottom of the column assemblies 21 and the running gear 10 is optionally mounted to the bottom of the column assemblies 21 and/or below the stringers.

In order to strengthen the structure of the whole support assembly 20, referring to fig. 2, 3 and 5, the support assembly 20 further includes at least one first longitudinal beam 22, two ends of the first longitudinal beam 22 are respectively connected with two adjacent upright post assemblies 21 near the railway side, and one or two first longitudinal beams 22 may be provided to connect the two upright post assemblies 21 longitudinally spaced apart. In some embodiments, the first stringers 22 are provided with two first stringers 22 respectively mounted at the top and bottom ends of the adjacent two pillar assemblies 21 near the railway side, wherein the first stringers 22 connected to the bottom ends of the adjacent two pillar assemblies near the railway side are in a fish belly shape, i.e., the middle section of the first stringers 22 is sunk, so that the entire first stringers 22 are in a fish belly structure, as shown in fig. 3.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, to further enhance the stability of the support assembly 20, in some embodiments, the first stringers 22 and/or the column assemblies 21 adjacent the railway side are provided with counterweights; the second longitudinal beam 23 and/or the column element 21 remote from the railway side are provided with a counterweight. In particular, a counterweight may be selectively disposed on any one or more of the pillar assembly 21, the first longitudinal beam 22, and the second longitudinal beam 23 to prevent the container side lifting and transferring system 100 from overturning after lifting the fully loaded container 200.

The number of running mechanisms 10 can be more than two, for example, 4 upright post assemblies 21 are arranged, a set of running mechanisms 10 is arranged at the bottom end of each upright post assembly 21, and each running mechanism 10 runs synchronously. For another example, 6 upright post assemblies 21 are provided, a set of running mechanism 10 is installed at the bottom ends of the 4 upright post assemblies 21 positioned at the outer side, and only running wheels (without driving) are installed on the upright post assemblies positioned at the middle part. Or 4 upright post assemblies 21 are arranged, a set of running mechanisms 10 are respectively arranged at the bottom ends of the two diagonal upright post assemblies 21, the running mechanisms 10 synchronously run, and in addition, only running wheels are arranged on the two diagonal upright post assemblies 21. The arrangement of the running gear 10 is not exhaustive here.

The running gear 10 is a mature prior art, and reference may be made to a railway vehicle running gear disclosed in the prior art or a large car running gear of a field bridge or a shore bridge, and the specific structure is not described herein. In some embodiments, the running mechanism 10 comprises a steering mechanism and at least two running wheels 11 driven by the steering mechanism, wherein a power element such as a motor, a hydraulic cylinder and the like is arranged in the steering mechanism, and the power element provides running and steering power.

The steering mechanism and the connection structure of the steering mechanism and the running wheel can be referred to related disclosures of the prior art, and are not described herein. Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the running wheels 11 are rubber wheels, so that rails do not need to be paved on the site, and the site running requirement is reduced.

In some embodiments, the diameter of the running wheel 11 in the running gear 10 near the railway side is not larger than the diameter of the running wheel 11 in the running gear 10 far from the railway side, for example, the diameter of the running wheel 11 in the running gear 10 near the railway side is smaller than the diameter of the running wheel 11 in the running gear 10 far from the railway side, and as the container 200 is transported between the railway side and the highway side, the container 200 needs to pass between the upright post assemblies 21 near the railway side, the smooth passing of the container 200 is facilitated by reducing the diameter of the running wheel 11 in the running gear 10 near the railway side, and the overall height of the container side hoisting and transporting system is reduced.

The support assembly comprises a first longitudinal beam 22, a second longitudinal beam 23 and at least four upright post assemblies 21, wherein the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23 are arranged in parallel, and a driving area is formed between the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23 for the truck or other container transport vehicles to drive. The upright post assemblies 21 are arranged at the two ends of the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23, the walking beam assemblies 30 are arranged at the upper ends of at least four upright post assemblies 21, and serve as installation bases of cargo lifting devices, the axial length of each walking beam assembly 30 at least covers a driving area and a railway, and cargo transportation between railway transportation vehicles and road transportation vehicles can be achieved.

A portion of the running gear 10 is installed in the installation cavities 24 of the first and second stringers 22, 23 to reduce the overall height of the container side hoist transfer system 100 so that a railway cargo transfer vehicle (e.g., the container side hoist transfer system 100) equipped with the container side hoist transfer system 100 can perform loading and unloading operations of containers under a 6m high power grid.

The first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23 have substantially the same structure, each include a connecting section 25 at the middle and end support frames 26 connected to both ends of the connecting section 25, and the installation cavity 24 is provided in the end support frames 26. In some embodiments, the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23 are both in an unsealed box-shaped beam structure, the end supporting frames 26 are formed by welding weather-resistant steel and the like and are used for connecting the running mechanism 10 and the upright post assembly 21 and transmitting the load of the upright post assembly 21, the middle connecting section 25 is stabilized by adopting the I-shaped steel and the connecting rib plates 27, and the connecting rib plates 27 are distributed at intervals along the axial direction so as to strengthen the structural stability of the connecting section 25. Considering that both the running gear 10 and the column assembly 21 are connected to the end support 26, to facilitate installation of the running gear 10 and the column assembly 21, in some embodiments the end support 26 has a width greater than the connecting section 25.

In certain embodiments, the total number of mounting cavities 24 matches the total number of running gears 10, that is, each running gear 10 is partially located in a corresponding mounting cavity 24. In some embodiments, the mounting cavity 24 is a larger cavity in which portions of the structure of the plurality of running gears 10 may be accommodated. Referring to fig. 6 to 11, in some embodiments, each end support 26 is provided with more than two mounting cavities 24 sequentially distributed along the axial direction, and at least two running mechanisms 10 are respectively mounted at two ends of the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23, so that the number of running mechanisms 10 in the whole container side hoisting and transferring system 100 is at least eight. The outer side surface of the end support 26 can be provided with a plurality of reinforcing rib plates, so that the structural strength of the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 24 is enhanced, and the stability of the longitudinal beam is enhanced.

The first side rail 22 and the second side rail 23 are both parallel to the railway, wherein the first side rail 22 is closer to the railway and thus the first side rail 22 is more loaded during the transfer of cargo from the railway side to the road side. Thus, in some embodiments, the number of running gears 10 of the two stringers is designed to be different, specifically, the number of mounting cavities 24 of the first stringer 22 is greater than the number of mounting cavities 24 of the second stringer 23, for example, 3 mounting cavities 24 are provided at both ends of the first stringer 22, and then 3 running gears 10 are mounted at both ends of the first stringer 22; two ends of the second longitudinal beam 23 are provided with 2 mounting cavities 24, and then two ends of the second longitudinal beam 23 are respectively provided with 2 running mechanisms 10. The difference between the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23 is mainly represented by the difference of the number of the mounting cavities 24, and other structural characteristics and total length are consistent.

Referring to fig. 6 and 9, in some embodiments, for ease of operation, the mounting cavity 24 is upwardly open from which a portion of the running gear 10 may be placed in the mounting cavity 24. The bottom wall of the mounting cavity 24 is provided with a wire passing hole 241 and a mounting hole 242, wherein the wire passing hole 241 is used for the pipeline of the running mechanism 10 to pass through, so that a complete actuating mechanism is formed between the part of the running mechanism 10 located in the mounting cavity 24 and the part located below the first longitudinal beam 22/the second longitudinal beam 23. The mounting holes 242 are used to mount fasteners to connect the running gear 10 to the first rail 22/second rail 23.

At least four column assemblies 21 are mounted at the ends of the first 22 and second 23 stringers, respectively, to carry and transfer loads. At least one upright post assembly 21 is respectively arranged at two ends of the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23, and four corners of the upper walking beam assembly 30 can be supported. In some embodiments, the number of column assemblies 21 is 4, and the column assemblies 21 are mounted at the two ends of the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23 respectively, and the distance between the two column assemblies 21 on the same longitudinal beam should be greater than 40/45 inch container length, so that the container can conveniently pass between the two column assemblies 21.

The pillar assembly 21 mainly includes a pillar 211, and the pillar 211 is generally vertically disposed, and referring to fig. 12, 13 and 14, in some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the pillar 211 decreases from top to bottom, and the cross-sectional area of the lower end surface of the pillar 211 is the smallest. The reduced cross-sectional area of the lower portion of the upright 211 of the first aspect provides more operating space for installation of the running gear 10; in the second aspect, the cross-sectional area of the lower end face of the pillar 211 is smallest, and the areas of the mounting areas on the first side member 22 and the second side member 23 corresponding to the pillar 211 can also be reduced, thereby enabling the axial lengths of the first side member 22 and the second side member 23 to be shortened by 300mm or more; in the third aspect, the lower portion of the upright post 211 is thinner, so that the weight of the whole upright post 211 is reduced, and the lightweight design requirement is met.

The cross-sectional area of the pillar 211 tends to decrease from top to bottom, and may decrease linearly from top to bottom, decrease non-linearly, or decrease in gradient. The cross-sectional shape of the pillar 211 may be a circle or a polygon, and when the pillar 211 is a polygonal pillar, the decrease in the cross-sectional area of the pillar 211 may be caused by one of the sides being inclined or may be caused by a plurality of the sides being inclined together. The specific shape characteristics of the post 211 are not limiting to the application. The mounting positions of the upright posts 211 on the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23 may be located in the mounting cavities 24 or outside the mounting cavities 24, referring to fig. 7 and 10, in some embodiments, the end portions of the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23 are provided with a plurality of mounting cavities 24 distributed at intervals, a mounting table 28 is formed between the two mounting cavities 24 located at the outermost side, the area of the mounting table 28 should be not smaller than the cross-sectional area of the lower end face of the upright post 211, and the upright post 211 is mounted on the mounting table 28.

By providing the diagonal braces 212 on one side of the upright post 211, the supporting effect of the upright post 211 can be enhanced, and structural deformation of the ends of the first and second stringers 22, 23 can be reduced. In some embodiments, two diagonal braces 212 are provided, the top ends of the two diagonal braces 212 are connected to the upright post 211, and the bottom ends of the two diagonal braces 212 are welded to the first longitudinal beam 22/the second longitudinal beam 23, so that the gap between the two diagonal braces 212 presents a change trend that increases sequentially from top to bottom, so as to compensate the defect that the strength of the bottom end of the upright post 211 is low due to the fact that the cross section area of the upright post 211 presents a decreasing trend from top to bottom, and ensure that the upright post component 21 has higher strength everywhere.

Referring to fig. 13 and 14, in some embodiments, the upright post 211 is a shaped box beam, the upright post 211 is in an inverted L shape as a whole, and the top ends of the diagonal braces 212 are connected to the bending regions of the inverted L-shaped upright post 211. The upper end of the upright post 211, namely the horizontal part 311, is provided with an upright post support 213 for connecting the walking beam assembly 30, the cross section area of the vertical part of the upright post 211 is in a decreasing trend from top to bottom, and the bottom end of the vertical part is welded with the first longitudinal beam 22 and the second longitudinal beam 23. The upright post 211 mainly comprises end plates, side plates, sealing plates 214, rib plates and the like, wherein the side plates are in an inverted L shape, and the sealing plates 214 are bending plates and are close to the diagonal braces 212. The sealing plate 214 is a plate member that is obliquely disposed, so that a side surface of the upright post 211, which is close to the diagonal brace 212, is an inclined surface, so that the cross-sectional area of the upright post 211 is sequentially reduced from top to bottom. The upright post component 21 adopts a special-shaped upright post structure and a section steel diagonal bracing design, meets the structural strength requirement, and can save materials and lighten dead weight. Meanwhile, the profile steel diagonal bracing on the side surface enhances the compressive strength of the integral structure of the upright post component 21, improves the bending strength of the upright post 211 and inhibits the bending deformation of the end structure of the longitudinal beam.

To this end, in certain embodiments, the number of running gears 10 mounted on the first side rail 22 is greater than the number of running gears 10 mounted on the second side rail 23, increasing the load carrying capacity of the railway side rail by increasing the number of running gears 10 on the railway side rail. In some embodiments, at least one of the first longitudinal beam 22, the second longitudinal beam 23 and the upright post assembly 21 is provided with a counterweight, and the counterweight is arranged to enable the gravity center of the container side hoisting transfer system 100 to be located on the side of the driving area.
