Container-transformer Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B65D88/52 B65D90/48 

FIELD: foldable cargo containers.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to foldable cargo containers with extended functionality, including those for operation in the marine environment, intended for the transport of goods, which are used by transport companies to optimize production costs, is an element of intelligent mobility using wireless communication technology and the "Internet of things". The container-transformer includes hardware and software parts, the hardware part contains two end walls, one of which is made in the form of a hinged door, two longitudinal side walls forming a system for transforming the internal volume; The software part is an information system for remote control and scenario administration through a router and a controller connected by information and communication links with a server for collecting, processing and relaying data located in the cloud space of the Internet, including a custom web service and a database of sensor readings and video recording files, which allows storing and transmitting sensor readings by mass-volume characteristics, tracking location in space and time with reference to geodata on the cartographic map of the transformer container itself. Through a mobile application, receive sensor readings, determine the initial and final coordinates of the container movement, make payments for services rendered and optimize delivery routes. Elements of the hardware transformation system, namely, two end walls, one of which is made in the form of a hinged door and two longitudinal side walls, each of which is structurally made of two parallel cloths of shock-absorbing Kevlar fiber fabric, connected hermetically with the floor and roof load-bearing frames, with the formation of an internal space, and placed in it mats of elastic gas-holding double-walled fabric made using airdeck technology. The transformation system is equipped with a small-sized electric compressor, and the mats are equipped with fittings, air pressure sensors, air ducts with the ability to create and automatically control overpressure through the server. The load-bearing frames of the floor and roof are additionally reinforced with detachable vertical elements that provide the strength and rigidity characteristics of the transforming container as a whole when it is transformed into a working state. An additional mat made of elastic gas-holding double-walled fabric using the technology airdeck, with a built-in calibrated pressure sensor, which has the ability to control the weight of the transported cargo.

EFFECT: technical result consists in increasing the reliability of the transformation mechanism, ensuring proper tightness of the internal volume of the container, increasing the strength and rigidity of the structure, stacking them, reducing their own weight (net), which ultimately will expand its functionality for use in maritime transport.
