A locking device for containers on a vehicle chassis, having a housing, a plug-in pin which is mounted displaceably in the housing and/or a rotary pin which is mounted rotatably in the housing, wherein the plug-in pin and/or the rotary pin can be moved between an open position and a locked position. The invention was based on the problem of providing a locking device for containers which is triggered automatically by way of the loading operation. According to the invention, the problem is solved by the fact that a spring element which interacts with a triggering element acts on the plug-in pin or the rotary pin, wherein the triggering unit has at least one sensing bolt which protrudes out of the housing in the direction of a container fitting in the open position.

The present disclosure relates to vehicle technology, and more particularly, to a vehicle for carrying a container. The vehicle includes: a vehicle body, at least one locking mechanism provided on the vehicle body and a microcontroller unit communicatively connected to each of the at least one locking mechanism and configured to control each of the at least one locking mechanism to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. Each of the at least one locking mechanism is connected fixedly to the container when the locking mechanism is in the locked state, such that the container is fixed to the vehicle body. The vehicle is advantageous in that it is capable of locking and unlocking the container in a simple way, thereby improving the efficiency of the vehicle in transportation of the container.

An electric vehicle, an automatic driving method and equipment, and an automatic freight transportation method and system, the electric vehicle (1) comprising a plurality of sets of wheel assemblies (2) disposed at the lower surface of a chassis (10), wherein the plurality of sets of wheel assemblies (2) are independent of each other; each wheel assembly (2) comprises a wheel (21), a driving device (22) and a displacement device (23); the driving devices (22) drives the wheels (21) to rotate, and the displacement devices (23) at least drives the wheels (21) to move along the vehicle body width direction (X) of the electric vehicle (1). Each set of wheel assemblies (2) of the electric vehicle (1) has an independent power system, and the wheels (21) of each of the wheel assemblies (2) are independently controlled by means of the driving devices (22) and the displacement devices (23), so that when used to carry people, the electric vehicle (1) may meet the driving requirements of being highly flexible, stable, safe and comfortable; and when used for loading goods, the electric vehicle (1) may meet the cargo transportation requirements of being fully automated, highly efficient, highly accurate, low cost and highly safe.

The blade support apparatus involves storing and transporting helicopter blades until the blades are needed for reassembly to the helicopter. The blade support apparatus comprises a lid, a container, a root attachment, and a plurality of attachment bars. One end of the helicopter blade is the root. The blade root is secured to the root plug. A multiplicity of supports secure the container to a transport. The height and angle of each blade in the container can be adjusted, enabling them to conform to the blade curvature which spirals from the blade root to the tip of the blade. Height adjustment to a helicopter blade is achieved by a plurality of contoured pads mounted in the container at varying points along the helicopter blade. Angle adjustment is achieved by a plurality of pivot supports mounted in the container at varying points along the helicopter blade.

The invention relates to a device (1) for fixing a container on a loading area, having a bolt (6) and having a lift drive (10), wherein the bolt (6) is rotatable and by means of the lift drive (10) is displaceable along a longitudinal axis of the bolt (6), wherein the bolt (6) in a secured position by means of a locking element (21) is secured against rotation and against axial displacement.

The device (1) for fixing the container is improved in that the lift drive (10) is designed in such a manner that a head (7) of the bolt is displaceable through the slot (5) up to a first terminal position, wherein the head (7) of the bolt (6) in the first terminal position is spaced apart from the periphery of the slot (5) so as to have an axial clearance relative to said periphery, wherein the bolt (6) then is retractable to a second terminal position in which the head (7) of the bolt (6) bears on the periphery of the slot (5).

Described herein are cargo handling systems for loading, transporting, and unloading cargo from autonomously delivery devices. In some embodiments, the cargo handling system includes: a system processing unit for controlling operations of the cargo handling system; and one or more modular racks. Each rack includes a rack processing unit, a frame, and one or more moveable arm sets. Further, each rack is configured to store, dock, and undock one or more modular cargo containers according to received signals from the system processing unit. In some embodiments, the system processing unit transmits one of: a docking signal and an undocking signal to dock or undock, respectively, the identified modular cargo container. In some embodiments, the system further includes a shuttle for transporting, at least in part, a modular cargo container in the modular racks.
