Foldable container

Abstract

The invention discloses a foldable container. The container comprises a base and two pairs of side plates, wherein each side plate is provided with one or more moving parts extending out of the lower side of the side plate; the base is provided with one or more open side parts; the side plates are placed into corresponding open side parts on the base through the moving parts; a hinge device is arranged between each moving part and each open side part, and comprises a hinge hole formed in the moving part of the side plate, a guiding device arranged in the open side part of the base, and a connecting piece which is provided with a hinge pin and a sliding device matched with the guiding device; the sliding device on each connecting piece can move upwards and downwards in each open side part along the vertical direction of the guiding device in the open side part, and each hinge pin is placed into each hinge hole and can rotate in the hinge hole. After the foldable container disclosed by the invention is folded, the side plates are prevented from tilting. Moreover, in the disassembling, assembling and folding processes of the foldable container, tool-free disassembly and assembly and disordered folding can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a collapsible container, in particular to a hinge structure in the collapsible container. Background technique [0002] Empty cargo boxes or boxes with fixed side walls require a lot of storage space. Accordingly, existing cargo boxes include collapsible side walls to reduce the corresponding empty shipping capacity. Such foldable cargo boxes mostly include a cargo box floor with a rectangular flat structure, wherein the foldable side walls are hinged to the edges of the flat structure. When the side walls are in the folded-up position, the side walls are connected to each other by an interlocking snap-fit ​​engagement wherein generally corresponding engagement latches on one pair of side walls facing each other engage on the other pair of side walls facing each other after engaging the hook. [0003] For many containers, the side walls are configured higher than half the width of the container floor so that they overlap whe...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The disadvantage is that the heights of the side panels opposite to each other are different, the manufacturing and maintenance costs are relatively high, and the folding must be done in a necessary order, which requires workers to concentrate more on the operation process, which affects the working efficiency to a certain extent.
