DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0069] The top side beam of the container and the container according to the utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific implementations, but the description does not constitute improper limitations to the technical solution of the utility model.
[0070] FIG. 3 shows a structure of the top side beam of the container according to the utility model in a first implementation. FIG. 4 shows a structure of the top side beam in a mounting state.
[0071] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the implementation, the top side beam 1 has a web plate that extends vertically along a height direction of the container, to increase a vertical height of the top side beam to above 100 mm, wherein the top side beam 1 includes an upper wing plate 11, a lower wing plate 12 and a vertical plate 13 which is connected between the upper wing plate 11 and the lower wing plate 12 as the web plate, a vertical section of the top side beam 1 is in an inverted C shape, and an opening of the top side beam in the inverted C shape is outside the container body. A support plate 14 is provided between a free end of the upper wing plate 11 and the vertical plate 13, and a support plate 15 is provided between a free end of the lower wing plate 12 and the vertical plate 13, for improving the strength of the upper and lower wing plates, reducing adverse deformation that may occur when the top side beam is welded with a top plate 71 and a side plate 72 of the container and reducing the welding difficulty. The support plates 14 and 15 are triangular structures formed by directly extending the free end of the upper wing plate 11 and the free end of the lower wing plate 12 to the vertical plate 13 respectively, that is to say, the upper wing plate 11 and the support plate 14 are integrally formed, and at the same time, the lower wing plate 12 and the support plate 15 are also integrally formed.
[0072] As shown in FIG. 4, reference may be made to FIG. 3 if necessary, the free end of the upper wing plate 11 refers to the end on the upper wing plate 11 which is away from the vertical plate 13, and the free end of the lower wing plate 12 refers to the end on the lower wing plate 12 which is away from the vertical plate 13.
[0073] Similarly, in the top side beams shown in the following drawings, the free end of the upper wing plate refers to the end on the upper wing plate which is away from the vertical plate, and the free end of the lower wing plate refers to the end on the lower wing plate which is away from the vertical plate.
[0074] In other implementations, a support plate independent of the free end of the upper wing plate and/or the lower wing plate and the vertical plate is connected between them, that is to say, the support plate may achieve a fixed connection between it and the free end as well as the vertical plate through an existing connection manner (for example, welding) respectively.
[0075] FIG. 5 shows a structure of the top side beam of the container according to the utility model in a second implementation. FIG. 6 shows a structure of the top side beam in a mounting state.
[0076] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the structure of the top side beam 1 in the implementation is similar to that of the top side beam in the first implementation, and their difference lies in that: the vertical section of the top side beam 1 is in a normal C shape. In this case, an opening of the top side beam 1 in the normal C shape is inside the container body.

A stiffener 18 protruding beyond a plate surface of the web plate is provided on the web plate, and a vertical section of the stiffener 18 is trapezoidal. Flanges 16 and 17 extending downwards are further disposed on the upper wing plate 11 and the lower wing plate 12 respectively, for improving the strength of the upper and lower wing plates, reducing adverse deformation that may occur when the top side beam is welded with the top plate 71 and the side plate 72 of the container and reducing the welding difficulty. The flanges 16 and 17 are formed by directly bending the upper wing plate 11 and the lower wing plate 12 downwards respectively, that is to say, the upper wing plate 11 and the flange 16 are integrally formed, and the lower wing plate 12 and the flange 17 are also integrally formed.
[0079] Compared with a flange extending upwards, the flange extending downwards may not affect drainage of the container while enhancing the strength of the upper and lower wing plates, which favorably avoids ponding of the container at the top side beam.
[0080] In another implementation, the vertical section of the top side beam may also be in an inverted S shape.

A stiffener 18 protruding beyond a plate surface of the web plate is provided on the web plate, and a vertical section of the stiffener 18 is trapezoidal, wherein the lower wing plate 12 has a flange 17 extending downwards, so as to improve the strength of the lower wing plate, reduce adverse deformation that may occur when the top side beam 1 is welded with the side plate 72 of the container and reduce the welding difficulty. The flange 17 is formed by directly bending the lower wing plate 12 downwards, that is to say, the lower wing plate 12 and the flange 17 are integrally formed.

A support plate 84 is provided between a free end of the upper wing plate 81 and the vertical plate 83, and a support plate 85 is also provided between a free end of the lower wing plate 82 and the vertical plate 83.

Moreover, the lower wing plate is rolled back upon itself such that no sharp edge protrudes toward the side plate of the container and risk of impact damage to the side plate or the goods in the container is avoided.
[0116] As some other main structures (for example, the bottom side beam, the bottom beam and the like) in the container and the underframe of the container of the utility model are not evidently different from the structure adopted in the prior art, they are not described in detail herein through other specification drawings.
[0117] It should be noted that the above description of the embodiments disclosed enables those skilled in the art to obviously make lots of similar changes and modifications to the embodiments, for example by substituting one disclosed aspect of the top side beam for another, or by adjusting the relative dimensions of various aspects of the top side beam. Such similar changes are all transformations that those skilled in the art can directly obtain from the content disclosed in the utility model or easily associate, and all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the utility model may not be limited by the embodiments.
