"Outer side of the box" refers to the side of that first component away from the center of the chassis along direction one when the pallet box is in its assembled state. For example, the inner side of the side wall 300 along the second horizontal direction D2 is the side of the side wall 300 near the center of the chassis 100 along the second horizontal direction D2 when the pallet box is in its assembled state. The outer side of the side wall 300 along the second horizontal direction D2 is the side of the side wall 300 away from the center of the chassis 100 along the second horizontal direction D2 when the pallet box is in its assembled state.

[0115] "Inner surface of the container" refers to the surface of the first component near the center of the chassis 100 along direction one when the pallet container is in its assembled state. "Outer surface of the container" refers to the surface of the first component away from the center of the chassis 100 along direction one when the pallet container is in its assembled state. For example, the inner surface of the side wall 300 along the second horizontal direction D2 is the surface of the side wall 300 near the center of the chassis 100 along the second horizontal direction D2 when the pallet container is in its assembled state. The outer surface of the side wall 300 along the second horizontal direction D2 is the surface of the side wall 300 away from the center of the chassis 100 along the second horizontal direction D2 when the pallet container is in its assembled state.

The shaft support holes 513 penetrate both the first support wall 511 and the second support wall 512. The axial direction of the shaft support holes 513 is parallel to the length direction of the lock box 500. The locking shaft 420 is rotatably inserted through the shaft support holes 513. The surface of the first support wall 511 away from the second support wall 512 is the outer surface 506. A locking hook 410 is provided at the end of the locking shaft 420 extending beyond the outer surface 506 of the first support wall 511. When the lock box 500 is disposed on the side wall 300, the hook head end of the locking hook 410 protrudes from the inner surface of the side wall 300 along the second horizontal direction D2. The upper wall 515 of the lock box extends to the outer side of the first support wall 511 along the length direction of the lock box 500. Thus, the first support wall 511 and the upper wall 515 of the lock box constitute a locking hook mounting groove 501. The portion of the locking hook 410 is located within the locking hook mounting groove 501.

[0119] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 4 to 9 The upper end of the lock handle 430 is connected to the lock pivot 420. This allows the lock handle 430 to rotate between the hooked and unlocked positions, thereby rotating the lock pivot 420 and consequently the lock hook 410. When the lock assembly 400 is mounted on the side wall 300 and the tray box is in the assembled state, with the lock handle 430 in the hooked position, the hook head of the lock hook 410 enters the lock hole 211 of the end wall 200 to connect the end wall 200 and the side wall 300. When the lock assembly 400 is mounted on the side wall 300 and the tray box is in the assembled state, with the lock handle 430 in the unlocked position, the lock hook 410 leaves the end wall 200 to release the lock on the end wall 200, thereby releasing the connection between the end wall 200 and the side wall 300.

[0120] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Along the length of the lock box 500, the maximum dimension H1 between the lock handle 430 and the outer side 506 is smaller than the dimension H2 of the side post 310 along the width of the side wall 300. Thus, with a smaller length dimension of the lock box 500, when the lock assembly 400 is used for a pallet box with a semi-folding door 320, the two side posts 310 of the side wall 300 can directly form the door opening 340 of the side wall 300. The semi-folding door 320 used to cover the door opening 340 can be as close as possible to the side post 310, and the dimension of the semi-folding door 320 along the width of the side wall 300 can be as large as possible, facilitating loading and unloading of goods.

[0121] In this embodiment, the maximum dimension H1 between the lock handle 430 and the outer side 506 is smaller than the dimension H2 of the side post 310 along the width direction of the side wall 300. When the lock assembly 400 is provided on the side wall 300 of the pallet box, the half-fold door 320 can be as close as possible to the side post 310 along the width direction of the side wall 300, and the dimension of the half-fold door 320 of the pallet box along the width direction of the side wall 300 can be as large as possible, so as to facilitate loading and unloading of goods through the door opening 340 of the side wall 300.

[0122] Preferably, when the lock handle 430 is in the hook position, the lock handle 430 is located inside the lock box 500 and does not protrude from the outer contour of the lock box 500. This facilitates the transport of the pallet box in its assembled state.

[0123] Preferably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the upper end of the lock handle 430 has a handle sleeve portion 436. The lower part of the lock handle 430 has an operating portion 432. The handle sleeve portion 436 has a cylindrical structure. The handle sleeve portion 436 is located within the gap between the first support wall 511 and the second support wall 512. The lock pivot 420 passes through the handle sleeve portion 436. The handle sleeve portion 436 is provided with a pin mounting hole whose axial direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the handle sleeve portion 436. The lock assembly 400 also includes a handle mounting pin 440. The handle mounting pin 440 is preferably a resilient cylindrical pin. After the handle mounting pin 440 extends into the pin mounting hole, it passes through the lock pivot 420 to connect the handle sleeve portion 436 to the lock pivot 420, thereby connecting the lock handle 430 to the lock pivot 420.

[0124] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 The lock box 500 also has a handle mounting groove bottom wall 517 located at the bottom of the handle mounting groove 510. The handle mounting groove bottom wall 517 is connected to the inner surface of the first support wall 511 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500, the inner surface of the second support wall 512 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500, and the inner surface of the upper wall 515 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500, thus forming the bottom wall of the handle mounting groove 510. The handle mounting groove bottom wall 517 and the outer surface of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500 are spaced apart along the thickness direction of the lock box 500. Therefore, the lock box 500 has high strength.

[0125] like Figure 4 As shown, when the lock handle 430 is in the hook position, the outer surface of the operating part 432 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500 is approximately flush with the outer surface of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500. This facilitates the transport of the pallet box in its assembled state.

[0126] Along the thickness direction of the lock box 500, the operating part 432 and the bottom wall 517 of the handle mounting groove are spaced apart to form an operating space for the finger-operated operating part 432. This facilitates the operation of the operating part 432.

[0127] Please return Figure 2 The end wall 200 includes a locking member 210, an end post 220, and an end upper beam 230. The end post 220 is located at both ends of the end wall 200 along its width direction. The locking member 210 is connected to the upper end of the end post 220. The locking member 210 is also connected to both ends of the end upper beam 230. The locking member 210 has a locking hole 211 on its outer surface along a second horizontal direction D2. When the pallet box is in its assembled state, the opening of the locking hole 211 faces the side wall 300. The side wall 300 also includes a side post 310. The side post 310 is located at both ends of the side wall 300 along its width direction. The lower wall of the lock box 500 is connected to the upper end of the side post 310. When the pallet box is in its assembled state, the end post 220 is located on the inner side of the side post 310 along the second horizontal direction D2.

[0128] When the pallet box is in the assembled state, the operating part 432 of the lock handle 430 is turned to rotate the hook head of the lock hook 410 into the lock hole 211, thereby connecting the end wall 200 and the side wall 300, or disengaging the hook head from the lock hole 211, thereby releasing the connection between the end wall 200 and the side wall 300.

[0129] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lock box 500 also has a lower wall 516 located at the lower end of the lock box 500. This increases the strength of the lock box 500. The upper end of the lock handle 430 is located below the upper wall 515 of the lock box. The lower end of the lock handle 430 is located above the lower wall 516 of the lock box. The upper end of the lock handle 430 is near the upper wall 515 of the lock box. The lower end of the lock handle 430 is near the lower wall 516 of the lock box. This allows the lock handle 430 to be as long as possible, reducing the operating force required to turn the lock handle 430.

[0130] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 4 and Figure 5The lock assembly 400 also includes a stop bar 610. The lock housing 500 further has a third support wall 521 and a fourth support wall 522. Both the third support wall 521 and the fourth support wall 522 are located below the second support wall 512. The upper ends of the third support wall 521 and the fourth support wall 522 are connected to the lower end of the second support wall 512. Along the length of the lock housing 500, the third support wall 521 is located on the side of the fourth support wall 522 near its outer surface 506. Along the length of the lock housing 500, both the third support wall 521 and the fourth support wall 522 are located on the side of the first support wall 511 near the second support wall 512. Along the length of the lock housing 500, the third support wall 521 and the fourth support wall 522 are spaced apart. Thus, the lock housing 500 forms a stop bar mounting groove 520 at the interval between the third support wall 521 and the fourth support wall 522.

[0131] Along the height direction of the lock box 500, the lower end of the third support wall 521 is located above the lower end of the first support wall 511. The lower end of the first support wall 511 is connected to one end of the lower wall 516 of the lock box. The lower end of the fourth support wall 522 is connected to the other end of the lower wall 516 of the lock box. Thus, the first support wall 511, the upper wall 515, the second support wall 512, the fourth support wall 522, and the lower wall 516 of the lock box form a circumferentially closed structure. The outer surfaces of the first support wall 511, the upper wall 515, the second support wall 512, the third support wall 521, and the fourth support wall 522 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500 are flush with the outer surfaces of the lower wall 516 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500. The lower end of the stop bar mounting groove 520 is connected to the handle mounting groove 510. Thus, the third support wall 521 serves as the partition wall between the handle mounting groove 510 and the stop bar mounting groove 520. That is, the third support wall 521 is both the groove wall of the handle mounting groove 510 and the groove wall of the stop bar mounting groove 520.

[0132] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, both the third support wall 521 and the fourth support wall 522 are provided with a stop bar support hole 523. The stop bar support hole 523 penetrates through the third support wall 521 and the fourth support wall 522. The axial direction of the stop bar support hole 523 is parallel to the length direction of the lock box 500. The stop bar 610 passes through the stop bar support hole 523. Thus, along the axial direction of the stop bar support hole 523, the stop bar 610 can move between a limited position and a disengaged position. The end of the stop bar 610 near the first support wall 511 is the limited end. When the lock handle 430 is in the hook position, and the stop bar 610 is in the limited position, the limited end of the stop bar 610 extends out of the third support wall 521 and enters the handle mounting groove 510. At this time, the limited end is located on the outer side of the bottom wall 434 of the stop bar limiting part of the lock handle 430 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500. As a result, the lock handle 430 is prevented from leaving the hook position. With the stop lever 610 in the disengaged position, the limiting end moves away from the lock handle 430. At this time, the lock handle 430 can swing.

[0133] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lock assembly 400 also includes a stop lever operating member 620 and a stop lever spring 630. The axial direction of the stop lever operating member 620 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the stop lever 610. The stop lever operating member 620 is connected to the stop lever 610. Specifically, the stop lever operating member 620 is preferably an internal hex bolt. A threaded through hole is provided on the stop lever 610. The axial direction of the threaded through hole is perpendicular to the axial direction of the stop lever 610. The stop lever operating member 620 is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole. The stop lever operating member 620 is located at the stop lever mounting groove 520. When the stop lever 610 is in the limited position, the stop lever operating member 620 abuts against the third support wall 521. In this way, the third support wall 521 can prevent the stop lever operating member 620 from continuing to move toward the first support wall 511, thereby preventing the stop lever 610 from leaving the fourth support wall 522. In addition, the stop lever 610 can be moved along the axial direction of the stop lever support hole 523 by actuating the stop lever operating member 620.

[0134] The stop spring 630 can be a cylindrical helical compression spring. The stop spring 630 is sleeved on the stop rod 610. One end of the stop spring 630 abuts against the stop rod operating member 620, and the other end abuts against the fourth support wall 522. The stop spring 630 is in a compressed state. Thus, the stop spring 630 can apply a force to the stop rod operating member 620. This force can move the stop rod 610 towards the limit position.

[0135] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the stop lever mounting groove 520 also has an operation limiting portion. The operation limiting portion includes a first operation limiting portion 524 and a second operation limiting portion 525. The first operation limiting portion 524 is located on the upper side of the stop lever 610. The second operation limiting portion 525 is located on the lower side of the stop lever 610. The upper end of the stop lever operating member 620 passes through the stop lever 610 and extends to the upper side of the stop lever 610. The upper end of the stop lever operating member 620 is located on the outer side of the first operation limiting portion 524 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500. The lower end of the stop lever operating member 620 is located on the outer side of the second operation limiting portion 525 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500. Specifically, the lower end of the stop lever operating member 620 is the stop lever operating end 621. The diameter of the stop lever operating end 621 is larger than the diameter of the rest of the stop lever operating member 620. The stop lever operating end 621 is close to the second operating limit part 525, and the upper end of the stop lever operating member 620 is close to the first operating limit part 524. In this way, the rotation angle of the stop lever operating member 620 can be reduced, preventing the stop lever operating member 620 from rotating and protruding outside the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500, and allowing the stop lever guide slope 611 (described later) to face the outside of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500.

[0136] Specifically, the stop lever operating component 620 is a hex socket head cap screw. The bolt head of the hex socket head cap screw is the stop lever operating end 621. The outer peripheral surface of the bolt head is close to the second operating limit part 525, and the outer peripheral surface of the threaded end of the hex socket head cap screw is close to the first operating limit part 524.

[0137] It should be noted that in this article, "close to" refers to the minimum distance between two components ranging from 0mm to 5mm. For example, "close to the third component" means that the second component touches the third component (the minimum distance between the second and third components is 0mm), or the interval between the second and third components is less than or equal to 5mm and greater than 0mm.

[0138] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Along the height direction of the lock box 500, a first operating limit portion 524 and a second operating limit portion 525 are spaced apart. A spring mounting groove 527 is recessed on the outer surface of the lock box 500 along its thickness direction. The spring mounting groove 527 is located between the first operating limit portion 524 and the second operating limit portion 525. The spring mounting groove 527 provides mounting space for the stop spring 630. A portion of the stop spring 630 is located within the spring mounting groove 527. The first operating limit portion 524, the spring mounting groove 527, and the second operating limit portion 525 together constitute the bottom wall of the stop spring mounting groove 520. This facilitates the installation of the stop spring 630.

[0139] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the portion of the lock handle 430 extending outward along the thickness direction of the lock housing 500 is recessed towards the inner surface of the lock handle 430 extending along the thickness direction of the lock housing 500 to form a stop bar limiting portion 431. Along the axial direction of the handle sleeve portion 436, the stop bar limiting portion 431 is located at the end of the lock handle 430 furthest from the first support wall 511. Along the height direction of the lock housing 500, the stop bar limiting portion 431 is located between the handle sleeve portion 436 and the operating portion 432.

[0140] The stop bar limiting part 431 opens towards the outer side of the lock handle 430 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500 and towards the fourth support wall 522. The stop bar limiting part 431 has a stop bar limiting part bottom wall 434. The stop bar limiting part bottom wall 434 is located at one end of the lock handle 430 near the inner side of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock handle 430. Along the height direction of the lock box 500, the stop bar support hole 523 is located between the shaft support hole 513 and the operating part 432. Thus, along the height direction of the lock box 500, the stop bar 610 is located below the lock pivot 420. Along the height direction of the lock box 500, the stop bar 610 is located at the middle of the lock handle 430. When the lock handle 430 is in the hook position and the stop bar 610 is in the limiting position, the limiting end of the stop bar 610 is located on the outer side of the stop bar limiting part bottom wall 434 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500.

[0141] The limiting end of the stop lever 610 has a stop lever guide slope 611 (an example of a guide slope for the stop lever). Along the length of the lock box 500, the end of the stop lever guide slope 611 near the first support wall 511 is closer to the inner surface of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500 than the end away from the first support wall 511. The stop lever guide slope 611 faces the outer surface of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500. The inner surface of the bottom wall 434 of the stop lever limiting portion has a lock handle guide slope 433 (another example of a guide slope for the stop lever). The position of the lock handle guide slope 433 corresponds to the position of the stop lever guide slope 611. Along the thickness direction of the lock box 500, the end of the lock handle guide slope 433 near the first support wall 511 is closer to the inner surface of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500 than the end away from the first support wall 511. Thus, when the lock handle 430 is in the hook position, the tilt direction of the lock handle guide slope 433 is the same as the tilt direction of the stop bar guide slope 611.

[0142] With the lock handle 430 in the hooked position, the lower end of the stop bar limiting part 431 and the lower end of the second operation limiting part 525 are approximately flush along the height direction of the lock box 500. The lower end of the stop bar limiting part 431 is located below the lower end of the third support wall 521. The lower end of the stop bar limiting part 431 and the lower end of the third support wall 521 are spaced apart. This provides space for finger operation of the stop bar operating member 620.

[0143] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the operating limit portion protrudes from the outside of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500, beyond the bottom wall 517 of the handle mounting groove. Therefore, the lock box 500 has high strength at the operating limit portion.

[0144] When the lock handle 430 is in the hook position, the outer side of the second operation limiting part 525 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500 is located on the outer side of the bottom wall 434 of the stop lever limiting part along the thickness direction of the lock box 500. The end of the second operation limiting part 525 near the lock handle 430 has a finger guide ramp 526. Along the length direction of the lock box 500, one end of the finger guide ramp 526 near the first support wall 511 is closer to the inner surface of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500 than the other end. When the stop lever operating member 620 is operated by a finger, the finger guide ramp 526 guides the movement of the finger, preventing the second operation limiting part 525 from obstructing the finger.

[0145] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lower end of the handle mounting groove 510 extends along the length of the lock box 500 to the side of the operating part 432 away from the outer surface 506, thus forming the handle operating part 530. The bottom wall 517 of the handle mounting groove extends along the length of the lock box 500 to the side of the operating part 432 away from the outer surface 506, thus forming the bottom wall of the handle operating part 530. This provides operating space for fingers to be inserted into the gap between the operating part 432 and the bottom wall 517 of the handle mounting groove, facilitating operation.

[0146] Please refer to Figure 4The steps for opening the lock assembly 400 are as follows: Insert your index or middle finger into the gap between the operating part 432 and the bottom wall 517 of the handle mounting groove from the handle operating part 530; hook your index or middle finger onto the operating part 432; insert your thumb into the lower end of the stop bar limiting part 431, and then push the stop bar operating end 621 away from the first support wall 511 with your thumb, so that the stop bar 610 leaves the limiting position and the limiting end retracts into the third support wall 521, releasing the stop bar 610 from blocking the lock handle 430. During this process, the stop bar spring 630 is compressed; then lift the operating part 432 with your index or middle finger so that the lock hook 410 rotates and disengages from the lock hole 211, thus completing the opening of the lock assembly 400.

[0147] Please refer to Figure 4 The operation steps of locking the lock assembly 400 are as follows: Press the operating part 432 to rotate the lock handle 430, thereby causing the lock handle guide slope 433 to abut against the stop bar guide slope 611 of the stop bar 610; continue to press the operating part 432, and under the interaction of the lock handle guide slope 433 and the stop bar guide slope 611, the limiting end of the stop bar 610 moves away from the lock handle 430, and the stop bar spring 630 is compressed. When the bottom wall 434 of the stop bar limiting part of the lock handle 430 passes the stop bar 610, under the action of the stop bar spring 630, the stop bar 610 moves to the limiting position, so that the limiting end extends out of the third support wall 521 and enters the stop bar limiting part 431, thereby blocking the bottom wall 434 of the stop bar limiting part, and completing the automatic locking of the lock assembly 400.

[0148] Because the pallet box with locking assembly 400 locks when assembled (pallet box in assembled state), and unlocks after unloading to fold (pallet box in folded state), both locking and unlocking of the pallet box are performed when there is no goods inside. Therefore, the side walls 300 and end walls 200 of the pallet box are not subjected to external expansion forces from the goods during locking and unlocking. The operating force required for locking and unlocking the pallet box is not large. The structure of the lock handle 430 is sufficient for both locking and unlocking operations.

[0149] like Figures 4 to 9As shown, a handle mounting hole 514 is provided on a portion of the bottom wall 517 of the handle mounting groove. The handle mounting hole 514 is located at the interval between the first support wall 511 and the second support wall 512. The handle mounting hole 514 penetrates the lock housing 500. Along the height direction of the lock housing 500, the lower edge 518 of the handle mounting hole 514 is located at the lower end of the second operation limiting part 525. When the lock handle 430 is in the hooked position, a portion of the glove tube portion 436 and a portion of the bottom wall 434 of the stop bar limiting part are located within the handle mounting hole 514. When the lock handle 430 is in the hooked position, the inner surface of the lock handle 430 along the thickness direction of the lock housing 500 is flush with the inner surface of the lock housing 500 along the thickness direction of the lock housing 500. Therefore, when the thickness of the lock box 500 is relatively small, sufficient installation space can be provided for the lock handle 430 so that the dimension of the lock handle 430 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500 is as large as possible, thereby ensuring the strength of the lock handle 430.

[0150] When the lock handle 430 is in the hook position, the lower edge 518 of the handle mounting hole 514 abuts against the lock handle 430 to prevent the lock handle 430 from rotating toward the inside of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500.

[0151] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the pallet box includes a semi-folding door 320. At least one side wall 300 is provided with a semi-folding door 320. The side wall 300 with the semi-folding door 320 also includes a central beam 350. The length direction of the central beam 350 is parallel to the width direction of the side wall 300. Along the height direction of the side wall 300, both ends of the central beam 350 are respectively connected to the middle of two side columns 310. In this way, the central beam 350 and the portions of the two side columns 310 located above the central beam 350 form a door opening 340.

[0152] like Figure 10 As shown, the semi-folding door 320 includes a top beam 321, door posts 322, and a bolt lock assembly 700. The length direction of the top beam 321 is parallel to the width direction of the semi-folding door 320. The length direction of the door posts 322 is parallel to the height direction of the semi-folding door 320. There are two bolt lock assemblies 700. The bolt lock assemblies 700 are located at the upper corners of the semi-folding door 320. The bolt lock assemblies 700 are connected to the upper ends of the door posts 322. The bolt lock assemblies 700 are also connected to the ends of the top beam 321.

[0153] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 10The semi-folding door 320 also includes a lower door beam 324. The length direction of the lower door beam 324 is parallel to the width direction of the semi-folding door 320. The side wall 300 also includes two semi-folding door hinges 330. The upper end of the semi-folding door hinge 330 is connected to the lower end of the door post 322 and the end of the lower door beam 324. The lower end of the semi-folding door hinge 330 is connected to the end of the middle crossbeam 350 in the side wall. In this way, the semi-folding door 320 can rotate between the closed position of the door opening 340 and the open position of the door opening 340. When the semi-folding door 320 is connected to the side wall 300, the width direction of the semi-folding door 320 is parallel to the width direction of the side wall 300.

[0154] Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 10 As shown, along the width direction of the side wall 300, the doorpost 322 and side post 310 of the semi-folding door 320 are adjacent. The dimension of the semi-folding door 320 along its width direction is slightly smaller than the minimum distance between the two side posts 310. Thus, along the width direction of the side wall 300, the semi-folding door 320 extends from one side post 310 to the other. In this way, the semi-folding door 320 is nearly fully open, except for the partial protrusion of the door opening 340 in the lock box 500 of the lock assembly 400.

[0155] like Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the lock box 500 is connected to the top of the side post 310. Along the width direction of the side wall 300, the inner portion of the lock box 500 near the center of the side wall 300 protrudes towards the center of the side wall 300 to form a lock box connecting portion 550. Thus, a notch 504 is formed below the lock box connecting portion 550. The lock box connecting portion 550 has a pin hole 551. The axial direction of the pin hole 551 is parallel to the height direction of the lock box 500.

[0156] The bolt lock assembly 700 includes a bolt lock seat 710 and a bolt 720. The bolt lock seat 710 includes a seat body 726. The seat body 726 has a bolt support hole 713. The axial direction of the bolt support hole 713 is parallel to the height direction of the folding door 320. The bolt 720 passes through the bolt support hole 713. The bolt 720 is movable in the bolt support hole 713. When the folding door 320 is in the closed position, the portion of the bolt lock seat 710 with the bolt support hole 713 is located within a notch 504, and the bolt 720 is inserted into the bolt hole 551. In this way, the upper end of the folding door 320 can be connected to the side wall 300 to fix the folding door 320 in the closed position.

[0157] like Figures 11 to 13As shown, the pin 720 is a stepped rod comprising a first segment 721 and a second segment 722. The upper part of the pin 720 is the first segment 721. The lower part of the pin 720 is the second segment 722. The diameter of the first segment 721 is larger than the diameter of the second segment 722. The pin support hole 713 is a stepped hole comprising a first hole segment 724 and a second hole segment 725. The upper part of the pin support hole 713 is the first hole segment 724. The lower part of the pin support hole 713 is the second hole segment 725. The inner diameter of the first hole segment 724 is larger than the inner diameter of the second hole segment 725. The pin lock assembly 700 also includes a pin spring 730. The pin spring 730 is sleeved on the second segment 722. The first segment 721 passes through the first hole segment 724. Part of the second segment 722 passes through the first hole segment 724, and another part passes through the second hole segment 725. The pin spring 730 is located within the first hole section 724. One end of the pin spring 730 abuts against the connecting surface of the first rod section 721 and the second rod section 722, and the other end of the pin spring 730 abuts against the connecting surface of the first hole section 724 and the second hole section 725. The pin spring 730 is in a compressed state. The pin spring 730 can apply a force to the pin rod 720, causing the upper end of the first rod section 721 to extend out of the pin support hole 713.

[0158] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 11 to 13 Along the width direction of the folding door 320, the end face of the base body 726 near the center of the folding door 320 has a door handle mounting hole 716. The door handle mounting hole 716 extends along the width direction of the folding door 320 to connect with the latch support hole 713. The base body 726 is provided with a door handle pin hole 717. The axial direction of the door handle pin hole 717 is parallel to the thickness direction of the folding door 320. The door handle pin hole 717 is located at the door handle mounting hole 716 to connect with the door handle mounting hole 716.

[0159] The outer peripheral surface of the first segment 721 of the bolt 720 has a bolt rack portion 723. The bolt lock assembly 700 also includes a door handle 740 and a door handle mounting pin 750. The door handle 740 is a flat piece. The middle portion of the door handle 740 has a door handle connecting portion 741. The door handle connecting portion 741 has a door handle connecting hole 743. The axial direction of the door handle connecting hole 743 is parallel to the thickness direction of the folding door 320. The door handle connecting portion 741 is located within the door handle mounting hole 716. The door handle mounting pin 750 passes through the door handle pin hole 717 and the door handle connecting hole 743. In this way, the door handle connecting portion 741 can rotate around the door handle mounting pin 750.

[0160] Along the width direction of the folding door 320, a door handle gear 744 is provided on the side of the door handle connecting portion 741 away from the center of the folding door 320. The door handle gear 744 meshes with the pin rack portion 723. Along the width direction of the folding door 320, a door handle operating portion 742 is provided on the other side of the door handle connecting portion 741 near the center of the side wall 300. Thus, rotating the door handle operating portion 742 causes the door handle connecting portion 741 to rotate. During this process, the door handle gear 744 and the pin rack portion 723 cooperate to drive the pin 720 to move up and down (moving along the axial direction of the pin support hole 713).

[0161] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figures 11 to 13 The steps for opening the half-folding door 320 are as follows: Hold the door handle operating part 742 and the upper door beam 321 of one bolt lock assembly 700 with one hand, and hold the door handle operating part 742 and the upper door beam 321 of another bolt lock assembly 700 with the other hand; rotate the door handle operating part 742 towards the upper door beam 321 with both hands to move the bolt 720 downwards; when the upper edge of the door handle 740 and the door handle mounting hole 716 abuts, the door handle 740 stops rotating, and the bolt 720 stops moving downwards. At this time, the bolt 720 retracts from the bolt hole 551; then flip the half-folding door 320 downwards to complete opening the half-folding door 320. After the half-folding door 320 is opened, the upper door beam 321 of the half-folding door 320 is located below the middle crossbeam 350 of the side wall, and the length direction of the door post 322 is parallel to the height direction of the side wall 300. At this time, under the action of the pin spring 730, the pin rod 720 returns to its original position and extends out of the pin support hole 713. It should be noted that the maximum distance between the door handle operating part 742 and the door upper beam 321 is such that it can be gripped by one hand at the same time.

[0162] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figures 11 to 13The operation steps for closing the half-folding door 320 are as follows: Lift the upper beam 321 of the half-folding door 320 upwards so that the bolt 720 abuts against the lock box connection part 550; hold the door handle operating part 742 and the upper beam 321 of one bolt lock assembly 700 with one hand, and hold the door handle operating part 742 and the upper beam 321 of the other bolt lock assembly 700 with the other hand; rotate the door handle operating part 742 towards the upper beam 321 with both hands to move the bolt 720 downwards; when the upper edge of the door handle 740 abuts against the door handle mounting hole 716, the door handle 740 stops rotating, and the bolt 720 stops moving downwards. At this time, the first segment 721 of the bolt 720 retracts into the bolt support hole 713, and then the half-folding door 320 is rotated until the length direction of the door post 322 is parallel to the height direction of the side wall 300, and the upper beam 321 is located above the middle crossbeam 350 of the side wall. Then, both hands release the door handle operating part 742. Under the action of the pin spring 730, the pin rod 720 moves upward, and the pin rod rack part 723 drives the door handle gear part 744 to rotate. When the lower edge of the door handle 740 abuts against the door handle mounting hole 716, the door handle 740 stops rotating, and the pin rod 720 stops moving. At this time, the pin rod 720 is inserted into the pin hole 551, completing the closing of the half-folding door 320.

[0163] It is understood that, in the embodiment not shown, a guide slope can be provided on the inner surface of the box along the thickness direction of the half-fold door at the upper end of the first rod segment. A guide slope is also provided on the lower end of the outer surface of the lock box connecting part along the thickness direction of the lock box. Thus, when closing the half-fold door, simply rotating the half-fold door causes the guide slope of the first rod segment to abut against the guide slope of the lock box connecting part. Under the cooperation of these two surfaces, the bolt moves downward, compressing the bolt spring. When the bolt and bolt hole are aligned, the bolt moves upward and inserts into the bolt hole under the action of the bolt spring, automatically closing the half-fold door. No operation of the bolt lock assembly is required. The steps for opening the half-fold door remain unchanged.

[0164] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, along the height direction of the lock box 500, the end of the lock box connecting portion 550 away from the first support wall 511 extends upward and protrudes to form a hook-on upright wall 552. Along the length direction of the lock box 500, there is a gap between the hook-on upright wall 552 and the second support wall 512. Thus, the lock box 500 forms a door connecting groove 540 at the gap between the hook-on upright wall 552 and the second support wall 512. The lock box 500 also has a door connecting groove notch 544 communicating to the upper end of the door connecting groove 540.

[0165] Specifically, along the width direction of the side wall 300, the portion of the upper wall 515 of the lock box near the center of the side wall 300 is the upper wall 542 of the connecting groove. Along the length direction of the lock box 500, the upper wall 542 of the connecting groove is located at the door connecting groove 540. Along the height direction of the lock box 500, the door connecting groove 540 is located above the stop bar mounting groove 520. There is a gap between the top surface of the lock box connecting portion 550 and the upper wall 542 of the connecting groove to form a notch 544 in the door connecting groove. The door connecting groove 540 also has a bottom wall 541.

[0166] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figures 11 to 13 As shown, along the width direction of the folding door 320, the portion of the base body 726 near the center of the folding door 320 extends upward to form an upper vertical wall 727 of the lock base. The upper end of the upper vertical wall 727 extends and protrudes away from the center of the folding door 320 along the width direction of the folding door 320 to form a top wall 728 of the lock base. The end of the top wall 728 away from the upper vertical wall 727 extends downward to form a connecting hook 711. Along the height direction of the folding door 320, there is a gap between the connecting hook 711 and the base body 726 to form a connecting notch 712. Along the thickness direction of the folding door 320, the connecting notch 712 penetrates the bolt lock base 710.

[0167] like Figure 2 As shown, when the half-folding door 320 is in the closed position, part of the top wall 728 of the lock seat is located in the door connecting groove notch 544, the connecting hook 711 is located in the door connecting groove 540, and the lock box connecting part 550 is located in the connecting notch 712.

[0168] The connecting hook 711 engages with the door connecting groove 540 to restrict the relative movement of the half-fold door 320 and the side wall 300 along the width direction of the side wall 300. This strengthens the connection between the half-fold door 320 and the lock box 500, and consequently strengthens the connection between the half-fold door 320 and the side column 310. Specifically, when the end wall 200 is subjected to an outward expansion force along the first horizontal direction D1 by the cargo, the upper end of the side column 310 will deform along the width direction of the side wall 300 towards the outer side of the side column 310 along the first horizontal direction D1. At this time, the connecting hook 711 hooks onto the hooked wall 552, preventing the side column 310 from deforming. In this way, the engagement of the pin rod 720 and the pin hole 551 is not required to prevent the side column 310 from deforming along the width direction of the side wall 300. The pin hole 551 can be configured as an elongated hole. The long axis of the pin hole 551 is parallel to the width direction of the side wall 300. In this way, when the side column 310 is slightly deformed along the width direction of the side wall 300, it is convenient for the bolt 720 to be inserted into the bolt hole 551 when the half-folding door 320 is closed.

[0169] The inner surface of the box along the thickness direction of the half-fold door 320, connecting the hook 711, has a hook notch 702 and a first guide slope 701 for the half-fold door. Along the width direction of the half-fold door 320, the end of the first guide slope 701 near the center of the half-fold door 320 is closer to the outer surface of the half-fold door 320 along its thickness direction than the other end. The outer surface of the box along the thickness direction of the lock box 500, hooking the upright wall 552, has a second guide slope 505 for the half-fold door. Along the length direction of the lock box 500, the end of the second guide slope 505 near the first support wall 511 is closer to the inner surface of the lock box 500 along its thickness direction than the other end.

[0170] If, along the width direction of the side wall 300, the side column 310 deforms slightly towards the outer side of the box in the first horizontal direction D1, then during the closing process of the half-folding door 320, the first guide slope 701 of the half-folding door contacts the second guide slope 505 of the half-folding door. During the closing process of the half-folding door 320, under the guidance of the first guide slope 701 and the second guide slope 505, the half-folding door 320 can also close to the closing position. Therefore, when the side column 310 deforms, it facilitates the closing of the half-folding door 320.

[0171] In an embodiment not shown, a guide ramp can be provided on the outer side of the inner surface of the box along the thickness direction of the half-fold door, away from the upper wall of the lock seat, and on the vertical side of the slot opening of the second support wall, away from the first support wall, to facilitate the closing of the half-fold door when the side column deforms. The working principle of the guide ramp is the same as that of the first guide ramp and the second guide ramp of the half-fold door, and will not be described again here.

[0172] When the half-fold door 320 is in the closed position, the bottom wall 541 of the door connecting groove is located within the connecting hook notch 702, so that the inner surface of the base body 726 along the thickness direction of the half-fold door 320 is flush with the inner surface of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500. The inner surface of the base body 726 along the thickness direction of the half-fold door 320 is flush with the inner surface of the half-fold door 320 along the thickness direction of the half-fold door 320. The inner surface of the lock box 500 along the thickness direction of the lock box 500 is flush with the inner surface of the side wall 300 along the thickness direction of the side wall 300. Thus, when the half-fold door 320 is in the closed position, the inner surface of the half-fold door 320 along the thickness direction of the half-fold door 320 is flush with the inner surface of the side wall 300 along the thickness direction of the side wall 300. Furthermore, the connecting hook 711 abuts against the bottom wall 541 of the door connecting groove to determine the position of the half-fold door 320 relative to the side wall 300 along the thickness direction of the side wall 300, thereby aligning the pin rod 720 and the pin hole 551 along the thickness direction of the side wall 300.

[0173] like Figure 5 , Figures 11 to 13 As shown, a portion of the top surface of the upper wall 515 of the lock box extends upward to form a stacking column 502. The top surface of the upper wall 515 of the lock box is a stacking surface 503. The stacking surface 503 is used to support another pallet box stacked above this pallet box. The provision of the upper wall 542 of the connecting groove increases the length dimension of the stacking surface 503 along the length direction of the lock box 500. This facilitates the stacking of pallet boxes with larger stacking holes. In addition, the provision of the upper wall 542 of the connecting groove increases the strength of the lock box 500.

[0174] The lower surface of the upper wall 542 of the connecting groove is constructed as a lower inclined surface 543 of the connecting groove upper wall. Along the length of the lock box 500, the end of the lower inclined surface 543 of the connecting groove upper wall that is away from the first support wall 511 is further away from the lower end of the lock box 500 than the other end. The top surface of the portion of the top wall 728 of the lock seat is constructed as a higher inclined surface 714 of the connecting hook. When the half-folding door 320 is in the closed position, the lower inclined surface 543 of the connecting groove upper wall and the higher inclined surface 714 of the connecting hook are correspondingly arranged. At this time, the lower inclined surface 543 of the connecting groove upper wall is located above the higher inclined surface 714 of the connecting hook and is parallel to the higher inclined surface 714 of the connecting hook. When stacked, the higher inclined surface 714 of the connecting hook can support the deformed upper wall 542 of the connecting groove. In addition, the arrangement of the lower inclined surface 543 of the connecting groove upper wall can increase the strength of the upper wall 542 of the connecting groove.

[0175] In an embodiment not shown, the upper wall of the connecting groove can also be omitted. In this case, when the half-folding door is in the closed position, the top surface of the lock seat top wall is flush with the stacking surface of the lock box.

[0176] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the door handle mounting pin 750 is a rivet. The outer and inner surfaces of the base body 726 along the thickness direction of the semi-folding door 320 are provided with rivet mounting grooves 718. The rivet mounting grooves 718 are located at the door handle mounting holes 716. After the rivet is installed, both ends of the rivet are located within the rivet mounting grooves 718 and do not protrude from the outer contour of the bolt lock base 710.

[0177] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 11 to 13 The top wall 728 of the lock seat has a pin mounting hole 715. The pin mounting hole 715 and the pin support hole 713 are concentric. The diameter of the pin mounting hole 715 is larger than the diameter of the pin 720. The pin 720 and the pin spring 730 can be inserted into the pin support hole 713 through the pin mounting hole 715.

[0178] like Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, along the length of the lock housing 500, the portion of the lock handle 430 near the end face of the first support wall 511 protrudes outward to form a lock handle boss 435. When the lock handle 430 is in the hook position, the lock handle boss 435 and the first support wall 511 are in contact. Along the height direction of the lock housing 500, the lower end of the lock handle boss 435 is located near the stop bar 610. This reduces the contact area between the lock handle 430 and the first support wall 511, reduces friction, and increases the operational flexibility of the lock handle 430. Furthermore, the contact between the lock handle boss 435 and the first support wall 511 prevents the lock handle 430 from tilting outward along the length of the lock housing 500 due to assembly gaps or other reasons, thereby reducing the overlap between the stop bar 610 and the lock handle 430.

[0179] like Figure 9 As shown, the operating portion 432 of the lock handle 430 may be provided with an operating portion slope 437. The operating portion slope 437 is located at the end of the operating portion 432 on the inner surface of the lock housing 500 along the thickness direction, away from the first support wall 511. Along the length direction of the lock housing 500, the end of the operating portion slope 437 closer to the first support wall 511 is closer to the bottom wall 517 of the handle mounting groove than the other end. This increases the operating space for fingers to operate the operating portion 432 of the lock handle 430.

[0180] Please return Figure 1 and Figure 10 The semi-folding door 320 is connected to the lock assembly 400 via a bolt lock assembly 700. The upper door beam 321 forms the side upper beam of the pallet box as a single, continuous beam. Compared to existing non-fully-opening semi-folding door pallet boxes, the side upper beam has greater strength. In this embodiment, the side wall 300 with the semi-folding door 320 consists only of the door panel 323 of the semi-folding door and a lower side panel located below the door opening 340. The pallet box has fewer parts, a simpler structure, and lower cost.

[0181] In existing non-fully-opening semi-folding door pallet boxes, there is a gap between the semi-folding door and the side posts along the width direction of the side wall. Thus, the upper beam of the semi-folding door, and the two upper beams of the side walls located on either side of the semi-folding door along the width direction of the side wall, constitute the upper side beams of the pallet box. The side wall panels of the pallet box include the door panel of the semi-folding door, a lower side panel located below the door opening, and two upper side panels connected to the two upper side wall beams.

[0182] Please return Figure 1 and Figure 3The chassis 100 has chassis pillars 110 at its four corners. The chassis pillars 110 have elongated slots (not shown) extending along the height direction D3 of the chassis 100 on both the facade facing the end wall 200 and the facade facing the side wall 300. Both ends of the lower end wall beam of the end wall 200 have end wall hinge shafts extending outward along the length direction of the lower end wall beam. Both ends of the lower side wall beam of the side wall 300 have side wall hinge shafts (not shown) extending outward along the length direction of the lower side wall beam. The end wall hinge shafts and elongated slots engage to hinge the end wall 200 and the chassis pillars 110. The side wall hinge shafts and elongated slots engage to hinge the side wall 300 and the chassis pillars 110. The end wall 200 can be rotated and folded about the end wall hinge shafts to the end wall folded position of the chassis 100, and the side wall 300 can be rotated and folded about the side wall hinge shafts to the side wall folded position of the chassis 100. You can fold the end wall 200 first, and then fold the side wall 300.

[0183] This application also provides a pallet box. The pallet box can be the aforementioned pallet box.

[0184] In this embodiment, the pallet box includes the aforementioned locking assembly. The maximum dimension H1 between the lock handle 430 and the outer side 506 is smaller than the dimension H2 of the side column 310 along the width direction of the side wall 300. When the locking assembly 400 is provided on the side wall 300 of the pallet box, the half-folding door 320 can be as close as possible to the side column 310 along the width direction of the side wall 300. The dimension of the half-folding door 320 of the pallet box along the width direction of the side wall 300 can be as large as possible, which facilitates loading and unloading of goods through the door opening 340 of the side wall 300.
