Foldable container

Abstract

The present invention relates to a foldable container. The foldable container according to the present invention comprises: a pair of sidewalls arranged side by side; a guide rail disposed in a direction across the lower ends of the pair of sidewalls so as to guide a movement of at least one sidewall; upper and lower plates for connecting the upper ends and the lower ends of the pair of sidewallsrespectively, each of which is divided into at least two unit plates pivotably connected to each other so as to be folded by movements of the sidewalls; and doors pivotably arranged at the front endsand rear ends of the sidewalls respectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a collapsible container, and in more detail to a collapsible container that can be easily folded and prevented from being arbitrarily folded due to a folding load applied in the vertical direction. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, a container refers to a large box-shaped object formed of iron plates mainly used for cargo transportation. This kind of container is not only easy to store and transport goods, but also has the advantage of being able to protect the goods contained therein, so it is widely used. [0003] Such containers are transported individually by dedicated large trucks, or in batches by dedicated trains or dedicated ships. [0004] However, since such a container is made of a steel material, it occupies an equal space both in a loaded state and in a hollow state. Therefore, even when storing or transporting an empty container, the same volume and cost as those in the case of loading an...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the prior art described above, in the process of folding the upper side panel and the lower side panel constituting the left and right side panels, the front panel and the rear panel are turned to the inside of the container for folding. operation, it will cause safety problems, and this technology has serious problems such as the above-mentioned problems

That is, in the process of folding the front panel in order to fold the front panel inwardly of the container, serious accidents may occur when the side walls are folded

[0009] In particular, containers are stored and transported by stacking multiple boxes in the vertical direction, so if the side walls cannot sufficiently support the load applied in the vertical direction, not only the contents will be damaged, but also the multi-layered container may collapse

However, the above-mentioned conventional folding container has a structure in which the upper plate and the lower plate are in close contact with each other while the side walls are folded, so the stacking load acting in the vertical direction is very weak, and the container cannot be stacked sufficiently.

In addition, since the upper and lower plates are tightly attached while the side walls are folded, there is a problem that large accidents may occur when the side walls on both sides are folded arbitrarily due to vertical loads
