[0038] The cover plate 20 further includes a movable plate 23, which is flipped and connected to the side plate assembly 11 of the opening of the box body 10. Specifically, the movable plate 23 is connected to the fourth side plate 114. The flip connection between the movable plate 23 and the fourth side plate 114 is directly opposite to the opening of the second opening groove 221. A connecting plate 24 is separated between the movable plate 23 and the fourth side plate 114 by a fold, and the connecting plate 24 is arranged at the end of the fourth side plate 114 close to the movable plate 23. The movable plate 23 drives the connecting plate 24 to cover or open the material taking gap 25, so as to close or open the box body 10.
[0039] Please also read Figure 4Specifically, when the movable plate 23 is folded and covered on the corresponding surface of the fourth side plate 114, the connecting plate 24 is folded along with the movable plate 23, and the material taking gap 25 is formed between the connecting plate 24 and the opening plate 21, so that the automated equipment can reach into the box body 10 through the second opening groove 221 to grab the material tray, and then take out the material tray through the material taking gap 25. In one embodiment, the width of the connecting plate 24 is 1.5 times the width of the material tray, and the corresponding width of the material taking gap 25 is 1.5 times the width of the material tray, so that the material trays can be taken out one by one.
[0040] The movable plate 23 is provided with third buckles 231 on both sides. When the movable plate 23 drives the connecting plate 24 to be folded and fixed on the surface of the fourth side plate 114, the fourth side plate 114 directly facing the third buckle 231 is provided with a corresponding third clamping groove 14.

[0041] When the movable plate 23 is folded and installed on the surface of the reinforcing plate 22, the connecting plate 24 is folded along with the movable plate 23, the movable plate 23 covers the second opening groove 221, and the connecting plate 24 covers the material removal gap 25 to seal the opening on one side of the box body 10, thereby facilitating transportation and storage.
[0042] When the movable plate 23 drives the connecting plate 24 to be folded and covered on the surface of the reinforcing plate 22, the opening plate 21 opposite to the third clip 231 is provided with a corresponding fourth clip groove 214, and the reinforcing plate 22 opposite to the third clip 231 is provided with a corresponding groove 223. The third clip 231 passes through the groove 223 and is clipped in the fourth clip groove 214 to keep the material removal gap 25 and the second opening groove 221 in a closed state.
[0043] It is understandable that in other embodiments, other adhesive members may be used to replace the movable plate 23 to cover or open the material taking gap 25, so as to close or open the box body 10. The adhesive member may be an adhesive tape or an adhesive plate.
[0044] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 3The bottom plate 30 includes a first bottom plate 31 and a second bottom plate 32. The first bottom plate 31 is flipped and connected to the side plate assembly 11 on both sides of the other opening of the box body 10. Specifically, the first bottom plate 31 is connected to the first side plate 111 and the third side plate 113 which are arranged opposite to each other and are away from the cover plate 20. When the first bottom plates 31 are flipped to be in the same plane, the connection parts of the first bottom plates 31 abut against each other, and the two first bottom plates 31 form a plane to close the opening of the box body 10. In one embodiment, the first bottom plate 31 is a roughly rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the area of the first bottom plate 31 is approximately half of the cross section of the opening of the box body 10.
[0045] The second bottom plate 32 is arranged at intervals on the side plate assembly 11 on both sides of the other opening of the box body 10. Specifically, the second bottom plate 32 is respectively turned over and connected to the second side plate 112 and the fourth side plate 114 which are arranged opposite to each other and are away from the cover plate 20. A second connecting ear 321 is provided at the end of the second bottom plate 32, and a fourth buckle 322 is provided at one side of the second bottom plate 32. The fourth buckle 322 is arranged on the second side plate 112 and the fourth side plate 114, and is located between the second bottom plate 32 and the first bottom plate 31. When the second bottom plate 32 is folded and covered on the surface of the first bottom plate 31, the fourth buckle 322 is buckled in the corresponding second connecting ear 321. Specifically, a fifth buckle 323 is provided on the second connecting ear 321 directly facing the fourth buckle 322, and the fourth buckle 322 is buckled in the fifth buckle 323 to fix the relative position of the second bottom plate 32 and the box body 10. The second connecting ear 321 is folded and fixed on the corresponding second side plate 112 and the fourth side plate 114 .
[0046] In one embodiment, one side of the second bottom plate 32 extends from narrow to wide in an arc from the end provided with the second connecting ear 321 to the correspondingly connected second side plate 112 and the fourth side plate 114. The second bottom plates 32 are combined to form a planar structure covering the opening of the box body 10. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the second bottom plates 32 can be any shape that is combined to form a flat plate structure covering the opening of the box body 10, for example, one side of the second bottom plate 32 extends from narrow to wide in a straight line from the end provided with the second connecting ear 321 to the correspondingly connected side plate assembly 11.
[0047] The first bottom plate 31 cooperates with the second bottom plate 32 to close the other opening of the box body 10. Compared with the existing one-side buckle sealing method, the sealing method using two fourth buckles 322 and the second connecting ears 321 is more stable and reliable, and has a stronger bearing capacity.
[0048] In one embodiment, the first opening slot 215 and the second opening slot 221 are U-shaped slot structures. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first opening slot 215 and the second opening slot 221 can be square slots or special-shaped slots with an opening on one side.
[0049] In one embodiment, the material tray material box 100 is cut from a whole cardboard, and the cut cardboard is bent to form the box body 10, the cover plate 20 and the bottom plate 30. It is understandable that the material tray material box 100 can also be made of a supporting material such as paper, plastic or metal. It is understandable that in addition to being fixed by snaps, the material tray material box 100 can also be fixed by bonding or stapling.
[0050] When the tray picking box 100 is in use, one side of the cover plate 20 is the bottom surface of the tray picking box 100, and the automated equipment reaches into the box body 10 through the second opening slot 221 to grab the tray, and then takes the tray out through the picking gap 25. The trays stored in the tray picking box 100 fall to the picking gap 25 in sequence under gravity, so as to facilitate automatic picking.
[0051] In the above-mentioned tray picking box 100, the connecting plate 24 follows the movable plate 23 to be uncovered to form a picking gap 25 connected to the second opening groove 221, so that the automated equipment can reach into the box body 10 through the second opening groove 221 to grab the tray, and then take the tray out through the picking gap 25. The connecting plate 24 follows the movable plate 23 to cover the picking gap 25 and the second opening groove 221 respectively to seal the box body 10.
[0052] The above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Although the embodiments of the present application are described in detail with reference to the above preferred implementation modes, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
