Container

Abstract

The present invention discloses a container, which comprises: a bottom frame including two parallel bottom side rails and two bottom end rails transversally connected to the ends of the two bottom side rails, two side walls, four corner posts, a front end, a rear end, a roof panel and two header plates connected to the roof panel, two bottom end rails; one or more wood floors and one or more steel floors extending along the length direction of the bottom side rail, which are alternately arranged in parallel with the bottom side rails and fixed between the two bottom end rails; and an upper surface of the steel floor is flush with an upper surface of the wood floor. The container of the present invention has high strength and low weight, and saves wood material.

1 . A container comprising: a bottom frame including two parallel bottom side rails and two bottom end rails transversally connected to corresponding ends of the two bottom side rails, two side walls, four corner posts, a front end, a rear end, a roof panel and two header plates connected to the roof panel,
 wherein one or more wood floors and one or more steel floors extend along a length direction of the bottom side rail, and are alternately arranged in parallel with the bottom side rails and fixed between the two bottom end rails; and wherein an upper surface of the steel floor is flush with an upper surface of the wood floor.   
   
   
       2 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the steel floor is an element configured in such a way that a middle portion thereof is bulged to form a flat top acting as a steel floor surface; and
 the container further comprises bottom cross members provided between the two sides of the element and the two bottom side rails respectively, wherein the wood floor is fixed on an upper surface of the bottom cross member, and the upper surface of the bottom cross member is lower than the steel floor surface in such a way that a height difference between the upper surface of the bottom cross member and the steel floor surface matches a thickness of the wood floor.   
   
   
       3 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the corner posts is concaved inwardly at its surface outside the container to form a reinforcing rib, which extends from a bottom end of the corner post to a top end of the corner post and has a ‘V’-shaped or an arc-shaped cross section. 
   
   
       4 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the two header plates is provided with a reinforcing rib, which extends along a width direction of the container and has a ‘V’-shaped or an arc-shaped cross section. 
   
   
       5 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the bottom cross member has a cross section in any shape selected from a group of ‘L’, ‘I’, ‘C’ and ‘U’. 
   
   
       6 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the element has a ‘Ω’-shaped cross section. 
   
   
       7 . The container according to  claim 6 , wherein a reinforcing board is provided in a space formed by the bulged portion of the element. 
   
   
       8 . The container according to  claim 7 , wherein the reinforcing board has a cross section in any shape selected from a group of ‘L’, ‘I’, ‘C’ and ‘U’. 
   
   
       9 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein one steel floor is arranged at a middle portion of the bottom frame and two wood floors are arranged at both sides of the steel floor. 
   
   
       10 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein one wood floor is arranged at middle portion of the bottom frame and two steel floors are arranged at both sides of the wood floor.
