Automatic twist lock concept

grabcad

This project introduces innovative twists to existing twist locks. The automatic leading mechanism with helical line simplifies insertion, as the locker twists automatically without manual locking. Removal is automated when connectors mounted in corners touch the ground for unlocking. Unlocking is also fully automated. Key features include: 1) The locker turns 90 degrees upon corner push by lever and gets blocked by a shaft moved down by spring, with a shield containing holes that engage when locked. 2) Removal occurs when blocker shaft moves up due to ground contact, releasing the locker to its neutral position. 3) Unlocking happens as the container is lifted or jumps, moving the locker and disengaging from clutch blocker holes. However, if a container only jumps, it will relock unless an operator lowers it slightly and lifts again.
