In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with embodiments of the invention.
[0049] To fully understand the present invention, a detailed description will be set forth in the following description to illustrate the pallet box of the present invention. It is obvious that the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art of pallet boxes. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may have other embodiments.
[0050] The ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" used in this invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meaning, such as a specific order. Furthermore, for example, the term "first component" does not imply the existence of a "second component," and the term "second component" does not imply the existence of a "first component." The terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this invention are for clarification only and are not intended to be limiting.
[0051] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate representative embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0052] refer to Figure 1This invention provides a pallet box 100 with a folder 120. The folder 120 is disposed on the outer surface of the box body 110 of the pallet box 100 and is used to hold documents recording information such as loading information of the pallet box 100. The folder 120 can be disposed on the side wall or the end wall of the box body 110, depending on actual needs. A mounting frame 111 is provided on the outer surface of the box body 110 for mounting the folder 120. The mounting frame 111 is preferably made of metal, such as steel or aluminum alloy, to enhance the structural strength of the mounting frame 111. The mounting frame 111 can be connected to the box body 110 by means such as welding, riveting, or screwing.
[0053] The folder 120 may specifically include a panel 130 and a clamping element 140. The panel 130 is preferably made of metal, such as steel or aluminum alloy, to enhance its structural strength. Both sides of the panel 130 are connected to the side of the mounting frame 111 furthest from the housing 110, specifically through welding, riveting, or screwing. The bottom end of the panel 130 is bent and connected to the housing 110, while the top end of the panel 130 is spaced apart from the housing 110, thus forming a closed-bottomed storage space between the panel 130 and the housing 110 for placing documents.
[0054] To prevent injury to operators during document placement, preferably, a panel flange 130a is provided at the top of the panel 130, folded and flattened towards the housing 110. See reference [link to relevant documentation] for details. Figure 2 To prevent scratches to operators.
[0055] To facilitate observation of information on the document, a window 133 is preferably provided on the panel 130, allowing the operator to observe the information recorded in the document without removing the document. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, two square windows are provided on panel 130. It is understood that the number of windows 133 can also be set to other quantities, such as a large window, and the window 133 can also be set to other shapes, such as a circular window. The specific settings can be made according to actual needs.
[0056] To prevent injury to the operator while reading information from a file through window 133, a folded and flattened window flange 133a is preferably provided around window 133, facing the box body 110. The folded window flange 133a also helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the folder 120.
[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 1One end of the clamping member 140 of the folder 120 is connected to the panel 130, and the other end abuts against the housing 110. When placing a document, by operating the clamping member 140, the end of the clamping member 140 that abuts against the housing 110 is moved away from the housing 110. After placing the document in the receiving space formed between the panel 130 and the housing 110, the clamping member 140 is released. The clamping member 140 will then abut against the document and deform to a certain extent, exhibiting a certain elastic force. This will press the document firmly against the housing 110, making it less likely for the document to fall out. This effectively enhances the fixing effect of the folder 120 on the document and makes it convenient for the user.
[0058] Preferably, neither the panel 130 nor the clamping member 140 protrudes beyond the outer edge of the pallet box 100 along its length and width, that is, the folder 120 does not protrude beyond the outer edge of the pallet box 100, so as to prevent the panel 130 and the clamping member 140 from colliding with other objects during the use of the pallet box 100.
[0059] To effectively prevent the clamping element 140 from deforming the box 110 during the document clamping process, or from causing changes in the clamping deformation of the clamping element 140 due to deformation of the box 110, thus affecting the clamping elastic force and making it difficult for the clamping element 140 to clamp the document, the folder 120 preferably also includes a back plate 150, as detailed in the reference. Figure 1 A back panel 150 is positioned between the front panel 130 and the housing 110. The bottom of the back panel 150 is connected to the front panel 130, and the top two ends of the back panel 150 are connected to the side of the mounting frame 111 closest to the housing 110, spaced apart from the front panel 130 to facilitate document placement. Before placing the document, the clamping member 140 abuts against the back panel 150. When placing the document, by operating the clamping member 140, the end of the clamping member 140 that abuts against the back panel 150 is moved away from the back panel 150. After placing the document in the receiving space formed between the front panel 130 and the back panel 150, the clamping member 140 is released. The clamping member 140 will then abut against the document and deform to a certain extent, exhibiting a certain elastic force, thereby pressing the document firmly against the housing 110, making the document less likely to fall out. This effectively enhances the document fixation effect of the folder 120 and facilitates user use.
[0060] Preferably, the bottom of the back panel 150 is provided with a back panel bending portion 151 that bends toward the front panel 130, as can be specifically referred to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The bottom of the back panel 150 is connected to the front panel 130 through the back panel bend 151 to form a bottom-closed folder 120 to prevent files from falling from the bottom of the folder 120.
[0061] In other embodiments not shown, a panel bending portion can be provided at the bottom of the panel 130, bending towards the back plate 150. The panel 130 is connected to the back plate 150 through the panel bending portion to form a bottom-closed folder 120 to prevent files from falling from the bottom of the folder 120.
[0062] Preferably, after the back panel 150 is installed, the bottom of the back panel 150 is closer to the panel 130 than the top of the back panel 150, specifically referring to... Figure 6 Thus, from the top to the bottom of the back panel 150, the cross-sectional area of the accommodating space formed between the front panel 130 and the back panel 150 gradually decreases. In other words, from the opening to the bottom of the folder 120, the cross-sectional area of the folder 120 gradually decreases, with a larger space at the opening and a smaller space at the bottom. The larger space at the opening of the folder 120 facilitates the placement and removal of documents and also increases the deformation of the clamping member 140, effectively enhancing the clamping effect of the clamping member 140 on the documents. The smaller space at the bottom of the folder 120 effectively prevents documents from moving within the folder 120, further enhancing the folder 120's ability to secure the documents.
[0063] To prevent injury to operators during document placement, a back panel flange 150a is preferably provided at the top of the back panel 150, folded and flattened on the side facing the housing 110. See reference [link to relevant documentation] for details. Figure 3 and Figure 6 To prevent scratches to operators.
[0064] After the folder 120 is installed, galvanizing is usually performed inside the folder 120, specifically in the space between the panel 130 and the back plate 150. Preferably, a first notch 152 is provided at the bottom of the back plate 150. (See attached document for details.) Figure 3 The first notch 152 can serve as a flow outlet for the galvanizing process, preventing zinc accumulation inside the folder 120 during the galvanizing process.
[0065] refer to Figure 4 The diagram schematically illustrates a clamping member 140 of a pallet box 100 according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The clamping member 140 includes a mounting portion 141, a clamping portion 142, and a first connecting portion 143. The first connecting portion 143 is disposed between the mounting portion 141 and the clamping portion 142 for connecting the mounting portion 141 and the clamping portion 142. The clamping member 140 is connected to a panel 130 via the mounting portion 141 and is mounted on the side of the panel 130 facing the box body 110, specifically referring to... Figure 6 .exist Figure 4In the embodiment shown, the mounting part 141 is constructed as a mounting ring 146, and the panel 130 is provided with mounting holes 131. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 The connection between the clamping member 140 and the panel 130 can be achieved by fasteners 160, such as rivets or bolts, passing through the mounting ring 146 and the mounting hole 131.
[0066] To facilitate the passage of fasteners 160 such as rivets or bolts through the mounting ring 146 and mounting hole 131, a second notch 153 is preferably provided on the back plate 150 at a position corresponding to the mounting hole 131, so as to effectively increase the operating space. See the specific reference below. Figure 3 .
[0067] After the clamping member 140 is installed, the first connecting part 143 is inclined from the panel 130 toward the back plate 150, and the top of the first connecting part 143 extends beyond the top of the panel 130, as shown in the following figure. Figure 6 Furthermore, the first connecting portion 143 simultaneously tilts towards the center of the clamping member 140, specifically referring to... Figure 5 This causes the clamping part 142 to tilt toward one side of the housing 110 relative to the mounting part 141 and abut against the back plate 150. The clamping member 140 can generate a certain deformation and has a certain elastic force so as to press the document against the back plate 150 after the document is placed in.
[0068] Preferably, the clamping member 140 further includes an operating part 144, which is connected to the clamping part 142 via a second connecting part 145. When the clamping member 140 is connected to the panel 130, the second connecting part 145 is inclined from the back plate 150 toward the panel 130, specifically referring to... Figure 6 And simultaneously tilt towards the center of the clamping member 140, specifically refer to Figure 5 This spacers the operating section 144 from the back panel 150 and extends beyond the top of the panel 130, providing sufficient space for the operator to hold the operating section 144 and pry open the clamping member 140 to insert documents.
[0069] During document placement, the operator pulls the operating part 144 away from the housing 110 with one hand, causing the clamping part 142 to separate from the back plate 150. Once the first connecting part 143 contacts the inner surface of the panel 130, it cannot be pulled further. At this point, the gap between the clamping part 142 and the back plate 150 is the maximum opening gap of the clamping member 140. The contact of the first connecting part 143 with the inner surface of the panel 130 prevents the clamping member 140 from being pulled further, effectively avoiding excessive pulling and plastic deformation that could cause it to fail. After pulling the operating part 144, the operator can use their other hand to insert the document through the gap between the clamping part 142 and the back plate 150 into the receiving space formed between the panel 130 and the back plate 150. The document is then released, falling into the folder 120 and contacting the bottom of the folder 120. The operating part 144 is then released, and the clamping part 142 presses the document firmly against the back plate 150 to further secure it. The process of retrieving the file is similar to the process of placing the file described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0070] The clamping member 140 is preferably made of spring steel such as spring steel wire to effectively improve the elasticity of the clamping member 140 and enhance its strength.
[0071] Preferably, the operating part 144 does not protrude beyond the outer edge of the pallet box 100 along the length and width directions of the pallet box 100, so as to prevent the operating part 144 from colliding with other objects during the use of the pallet box 100.
[0072] refer to Figure 7 The diagram schematically illustrates a clamping member 240 of a pallet box according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the clamping member 140 of the first embodiment, the mounting portion 241 is constructed as a mounting rod 247, and an insertion hole 132 is provided on the side of the panel 130 facing the back plate 150, specifically referring to... Figure 8 and Figure 9 The socket 132 can be formed by stamping the panel 130 inward, or it can be formed by other components located on the side of the panel 130 near the housing 110. The clamping member 240 is connected to the socket 132 by inserting the mounting rod 247.
[0073] To prevent the mounting rod 247 from dislodging from the insertion hole 132 after the clamping member 240 is installed, the mounting part 241 preferably further includes a limiting part 248. The limiting part 248 is provided at the bottom of the mounting rod 247 and is arranged approximately perpendicular to the mounting rod 247.
[0074] exist Figure 7In the embodiment shown, the limiting part 248 provided at the bottom of the mounting rod 247 extends in the opposite direction. It can be understood that the limiting part 248 can also extend in the opposite direction, as long as it can effectively prevent the mounting rod 247 from falling out of the socket 132.
[0075] Furthermore, to facilitate the assembly and folding of the pallet box 100, a handle portion 134 extending away from the box body 110 is preferably provided at the bottom of the panel 130, specifically referring to... Figure 6 and Figure 9 To increase the operating space for the hands, the handle part 134 is formed by bending at a certain angle from the bottom of the panel 130 away from the housing 110.
[0076] It is understood that in other embodiments not shown, the handle portion 134 may also be formed by bending and extending from the bottom of the back plate 150 away from the housing 110.
[0077] In order to avoid injury to operators during the assembly and folding of the pallet box 100, it is preferable to provide a handle flange 134a at the bottom of the handle 134 that is folded and flattened towards the box body 110 to prevent scratching the operator.
