DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] In the following, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0015] It should be noted that, where possible without conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The invention will be further described in detail with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0016] This embodiment provides a handrail linkage assembly for a tank-type container, the handrail linkage assembly is provided between a top side frame 1 and a gangway plate 2. The handrail linkage assembly specifically comprises a connecting plate 3 welded on the top side frame 1, a connecting shaft 4 which is provided longitudinally is welded on the connecting plate 3, the top outer side of the connecting shaft 4 is covered with a shaft sleeve 5, and a handrail linkage 6 is welded on the shaft sleeve 5. A groove 7 is provided in the circumferential direction at a position where the connecting shaft 4 contacts the shaft sleeve 5, that is, the groove 7 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting shaft 4. A hole is opened on the shaft sleeve 5, and a limit pin 8 is welded inside the hole, one end of the limit pin 8 is inserted into the groove 7, and the other end is located outside the shaft sleeve 5. This invention can reduce the space occupied by handrail linkage assembly and solves the problem of a drawstring on the handrail possibly being hooked by a cotter pin.

[0017] The groove 7 is a 90 arc groove, the arc groove is 9 mm wide and 5 mm deep; the diameter of the hole opened on the shaft sleeve 5 is 9 mm, and the diameter of the limit pin 8 welded in the hole is 8 mm. The limit pin 8 can move within the groove 7, satisfying the rotation of the linkage and realizing the limiting function. The total length of the connecting plate and connecting shaft can be shortened to 75 mm, and the distance between the gangway plate and the top side frame only needs to be more than 75 mm, the space is reduced and allowing more flexibility in the setting of the gangway.

[0018] It should be noted that the terminology used here is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. As used here, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms are intended to comprise the plural forms as well. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms comprises and/or comprising are used in this specification, they specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, devices, components, and/or combinations thereof.

[0019] The terms first, second, and the like in the description and in the claims of this application, as well as in the above drawings, are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific sequential or chronological order. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application described herein can be performed in other than the sequence described or illustrated herein. Moreover, the terms comprises, having, and their derivatives are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, product, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may comprise other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, product, or apparatus.

[0020] For convenience of description, spatially relative terms may be used herein, such as above, above, upper surface, on top of, and the like, to describe one device or feature's relationship to another device or feature as illustrated in the figures. It should be understood that the use of spatially relative terms is intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, devices described as above other devices or features would then be oriented below the other devices or features. Therefore, the exemplary term above can comprise both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in different ways (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and accordingly, the spatially relative descriptors used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0021] Now, the exemplary embodiments will be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the utility model to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity, and the same reference numerals will be used to represent the same items throughout the drawings, therefore they will be omitted from the description.

[0022] Although the embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
