Novel foldable container and assembling method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel foldable container and an assembling method thereof. The foldable container comprises a rectangular underframe, hinges, corner columns, top-angle parts and a goods carrying platform, wherein each hinge comprises a fixed portion, a movable portion, a hinge pin and a lock pin, the hinges are fixedly connected to the corners of the underframe, the corner columns are fixedly connected with the movable portions of the hinges, the top-angle parts are arranged on the top of the corner columns, the goods carrying platform is formed by the corner columns and the underframe after the corner columns are folded towards the inside of the container along the hinges, and the distance between the axis of the hinge pin and the top surface of the goods carrying platform is larger than that between the axis of the hinge pin and the end face of the goods carrying platform close to the hinge pin. When the corner columns are vertical completely, the top-angle parts are parallel to the ground completely, and when the corner columns are folded, the end faces of the top-angle parts and the corner columns are not beyond the top surface of short corner columns. According to the novel foldable container and the assembling method, standards about containers are met, assembling difficulty is reduced and assembling quality is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a container, in particular to a folding box with a foldable end structure and a corresponding assembly method. Background technique [0002] see Figure 1a , in the field of container technology, there is a class of folded-end platform container, which consists of a rectangular cargo platform 13 and an end wall 11 that is positioned at both ends of the platform and can be folded toward the upper surface of the cargo platform, and connects the end wall and the cargo platform (also called the hinge 12 of the chassis). The design of this type of container needs to comply with the ISO1496-5 standard. [0003] Since the goods can be loaded and unloaded from its top and sides, it is especially suitable for goods that are too large or heavy to be loaded in ordinary closed containers. Such as Figure 1c As shown, after the cargo is unloaded, the end walls fold to form a low platform, which can be connected to each other. In general...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, prior art folding boxes do not do this

[0011] There are several reasons for the above situation: the first reason is that the folding box itself has camber, when the camber design is too large, the middle part of the bottom frame and the folded top corner piece will exceed the top surface of the short corner column;

[0012] The second reason is that according to the ISO1496-5 standard, when the corner post is erected, the top length of the folding box is 10mm larger than the bottom length

In this way, when the centerline position of the hinge pin is X=Y, after the corner post is folded, the outer end surface 1121 of the top corner piece will exceed the height of the top surface of the short corner post by 5mm, which has not considered the influence of the camber of the chassis

[0013] At the same time, there is another shortcoming in the prior art: the assembly process of the corner post and the movable part of the hinge is relatively complicated in the prior art

[0015] In this way, the height and top length measured in assembly are not the distance from surface to surface, but point to point (or surface), at most the distance from line to line (or surface), there is a large measurement error, which is The third shortcoming of existing technology
