First openings are arranged at two ends of the fixed seat in the longitudinal direction, and the axes of the two openings are on the same line. The fixed plate protrudes out of the end of the folding portion 1122 close to the fixed portion 131 in the width direction of the folding portion 1122, and a second opening is arranged on the fixed plate. The rotating shaft is inserted into the two first openings and the second opening at the same time, and at this time, the fixed plate is in the groove.
[0066] Further, a plurality of reinforcing beams are arranged in the transverse direction at the bottom of the bottom plate 112 to strengthen the strength of the bottom plate 112 and enhance the ability of the bottom plate 112 to bear the weight of goods.
[0067] The end frames 13 are arranged at two ends of the side frames 12 in the longitudinal direction. Each end frame 13 comprises a fixed portion 131 and a rotating portion 132 arranged in the transverse direction. The fixed portion 131 is fixedly connected to the side frame 12, and the rotating portion 132 is rotatably connected to the fixed portion 131.
[0068] In the embodiment, the fixed part 131 and the rotating part 132 are rotatably connected by at least two connecting members 42, and the at least two connecting members 42 are vertically spaced between the fixed part 131 and the rotating part 132, so that each rotating part 132 can rotate inward relative to the fixed part 131 to fold the end frame 13, or rotate outward relative to the fixed part 131 to unfold the end frame 13.
[0069] Specifically, each connecting member 42 includes two first connecting seats, a second connecting seat, and a connecting shaft.

[0086] Reference Figure 9 And Figure 10 The first hinge hole 3111 and the second hinge hole 3112 are spaced apart on the hinge seat 31, and the axes of the first hinge hole 3111 and the second hinge hole 3112 both extend in the vertical direction. Moreover, when the door body 2 is in the closed state, the axes of the first hinge hole 3111 and the second hinge hole 3112 are located on a straight line extending in the longitudinal direction.
[0087] The hinge seat 31 includes a body 311, two first protrusions, and two second protrusions. The two first protrusions are arranged on the body 311, and the two second protrusions are arranged on the outer periphery of the body 311 and protrude outward. The first hinge hole 3111 and the second hinge hole 3112 are located on the body 311. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the hinge seat 31 is integrally formed, and the surface is galvanized to improve the corrosion resistance of the hinge seat 31.
[0088] The body 311 includes a square portion 3113, a first semicircular portion 3114 and a second semicircular portion 3115 arranged on both ends of the square portion 3113 in the length direction. The arc surfaces of the first semicircular portion 3114 and the second semicircular portion 3115 are located on the outside of the square portion 3113 in the length direction. Moreover, in the same horizontal cross section, the center of the circle on which the cross section of the first semicircular portion 3114 is located coincides with the center of the circle on which the cross section of the first hinge hole 3111 is located, and the center of the circle on which the cross section of the second semicircular portion 3115 is located coincides with the center of the circle on which the cross section of the second hinge hole 3112 is located.
[0089] The two first protrusions are arranged outside the first hinge hole 3111 and are used to abut against the door body 2 to achieve a 90-degree opening and closing between the door body 2 and the hinge seat 31.
[0090] Figure 11 For Figure 3 An enlarged structural view at C, Figure 12 For Figure 4 An enlarged structural view at D, Figure 13 For Figure 5 An enlarged structural view at E.
[0091] In combination Figures 9 to 13 In the present embodiment, the two first protrusions are a first outer protrusion 312 and a first inner protrusion 313. Specifically, the first outer protrusion 312 is located at the end of the body 311 in the width direction, and the first inner protrusion 313 is located at the end of the body 311 in the length direction. When the door body 2 is closed at the opening of the frame body, the first outer protrusion 312 is located at the outer side of the body 311 in the transverse direction, and the first inner protrusion 313 is located at the inner side of the body 311 in the transverse direction.
[0092] In the present embodiment, the end of the first outer protrusion 312 close to the first inner protrusion 313 extends along the width direction of the body 311 along the axis line of the first hinge hole 3111, and the end of the first inner protrusion 313 close to the first outer protrusion 312 extends along the length direction of the body 311 along the axis line of the first hinge hole 3111.
[0093] Specifically, in the present embodiment, a first arc surface with a central angle of 90 degrees is provided between the two first protrusions, and the two first protrusions are arranged on both sides of the width direction of the first arc surface. The line between the two ends of the first arc surface and the central angle of the first arc surface extends along the width direction and the length direction of the body 311, respectively, that is, the first arc surface is part of the first semicircular portion 3114 arc surface, and when the door body 2 is closed with the frame body, the first arc surface is located at the outer side in the transverse direction. When the door body 2 is rotated relative to the frame body at an angle of 0-90 degrees, the longitudinal end of the door body 2 abuts against it and rotates along the first arc surface, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotation of the door body 2.
[0094] The first inner protrusion 313 is inclined outward from the center of the first semicircular portion 3114 away from the first outer protrusion 312. When the door body 2 is closed at the opening of the frame body, the first inner protrusion 313 is inclined toward the side frame 12 from the center of the first semicircular portion 3114 away from the first outer protrusion 312, and the longitudinal end of the door body 2 abuts against the first inner protrusion 313, thereby limiting the inward rotation of the door body 2 relative to the end frame 13.
[0095] The first outer protrusion 312 is inclined outward from one end of the first semicircular portion 3114 away from the first semicircular portion 3114, and is used to limit the 90-degree opening and closing of the door body 2 relative to the frame body. That is, when the door body 2 is rotated outward relative to the end frame 13 by 90 degrees, the longitudinal end of the door body 2 can abut against the first outer protrusion 312, and the first outer protrusion 312 limits the continuous outward rotation of the door body 2 relative to the end frame 13.
[0096] Two second protrusions are arranged outside the second hinge hole 3112, and are used to abut against the frame body to achieve 180-degree opening and closing between the frame body and the hinge seat 31. Specifically, the two second protrusions are located on both sides of the second hinge hole 3112 in the width direction of the body 311.
[0097] The two second protrusions are respectively located at both ends of the second semicircular portion 3115 in the width direction of the body 311, and the end portions of the two second protrusions away from the plane of the first hinge hole 3111 are located on the axis of the second hinge hole 3112. Specifically, a second arc surface with a central angle of 180 degrees is arranged between the two second protrusions, and the second arc surface referred to here is the arc surface of the second semicircular portion 3115. When the hinge seat 31 rotates relative to the frame body within 0-180 degrees, the transverse end portion of the frame body abuts against it, and the second arc surface rotates along the transverse end portion of the frame body to ensure the stability of the rotation of the hinge seat 31, thereby improving the stability of the rotation of the door body 2.
[0098] The two second protrusions are respectively inclined outward from the end portions of the second semicircular portion 3115 toward the first semicircular portion 3114.
[0099] The two second protrusions are respectively a second outer protrusion 314 and a second inner protrusion 315. Specifically, when the door body 2 is closed at the opening of the frame body, the second outer protrusion 314 is located on the outer side of the body 311 in the transverse direction, and the second inner protrusion 315 is located on the inner side of the body 311 in the transverse direction, so as to limit the inward rotation of the hinge seat 31.
[0100] When the door body 2 rotates relative to the end frame 13 within 0-90 degrees, the second inner protrusion 315 abuts against the transverse end portion of the end frame 13. When the door body 2 continues to rotate outward relative to the end frame 13 to fit on the longitudinal outer side of the end frame 13, the second outer protrusion 314 abuts against the transverse end portion of the frame body, so as to prevent the door body 2 from continuing to rotate toward the frame body, and prevent the frame body from colliding with the door body 2. That is to say, when the door body 2 rotates relative to the end frame 13 within 90-270 degrees, the hinge seat 31 rotates with the door body 2 within 0-180 degrees, and the rotation of the door body 2 within 0-180 degrees is limited.
[0101] In this embodiment, the first outer protrusion 312 and the second protrusion away from the first outer protrusion 312 are centrally symmetric about the center point of the line connecting the axis of the first hinge hole 3111 and the axis of the second hinge hole 3112. That is to say, the second outer protrusion 314 and the first outer protrusion 312 are centrally symmetric about the center point of the line connecting the axis of the first hinge hole 3111 and the axis of the second hinge hole 3112.
[0102] In the embodiment, the third outer protrusion 316 is arranged between the first outer protrusion 312 and the second outer protrusion 314 to transitionally connect the first outer protrusion 312 and the second outer protrusion 314. Moreover, the first outer protrusion 312, the second outer protrusion 314 and the third outer protrusion 316 are integrally formed with the body 311. Meanwhile, when the door body 2 is closed at the opening of the frame body, the outer side of the third outer protrusion 316 does not exceed the outer side of the door body 2 in the transverse direction.
[0103] The third inner protrusion 317 is arranged between the first inner protrusion 313 and the second inner protrusion 315 to transitionally connect the first inner protrusion 313 and the second inner protrusion 315. Moreover, the first inner protrusion 313, the second inner protrusion 315 and the third inner protrusion 317 are integrally formed with the body 311. When one of the door bodies 2 is rotated by 270 degrees relative to the frame body to abut the longitudinal outer side of the end frame 13 and the other door body 2 is closed relative to the frame body, the outer side of the third inner protrusion 317 does not exceed the outer side of the door body 2 away from the hinge seat 31 in the transverse direction, and does not exceed the outer side of the door body 2 in the longitudinal direction.
[0104] The hinge seat 31 is further provided with a connecting hole 318 extending along the horizontal direction, and the connecting hole 318 is in communication with the first hinge hole 3111 to connect and fix the first hinge shaft 34.
[0105] Reference Figure 7 The two mounting seats are fixedly connected with the frame body and the door body 2 respectively. The two mounting seats include a first mounting seat and a second mounting seat. The first mounting seat is fixedly connected with the door body 2, and the second mounting seat is fixedly connected with the frame body.
[0106] When the door body 2 is closed at the opening of the frame body, the end of the second mounting seat away from the end frame 13 does not exceed the transverse outer side of the door body 2 in the transverse direction. Moreover, when the door body 2 is rotated to abut the longitudinal outer side of the end frame 13, the end of the first mounting seat away from the door body 2 is flush with the end of the second mounting seat away from the end frame 13 in the transverse direction.
[0107] The first mounting seat includes two first mounting blocks 321 spaced apart along the vertical direction at the ends of the door body 2, and the two first mounting blocks 321 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the hinge seat 31. Specifically, the spacing between the two first mounting blocks 321 is greater than the vertical dimension of the hinge seat 31, so that the hinge seat 31 can be mounted between the two first mounting blocks 321.
[0108] Since the cross sections of the adjacent ends of the door body 2 and the end frame 13 are circular, each first mounting block 321 is provided with a notch at the end connected with the door body 2, and the side wall of the notch is an arc surface, so that the first mounting block 321 can closely contact the door body 2 and be conveniently mounted and fixed.
[0109] In the embodiment, the first mounting block 321 has an outer arc surface at the end thereof away from the door body 2, and the convex surface of the outer arc surface faces away from the door body 2.
[0110] Each first mounting block 321 is provided with a first mounting hole, and the axis of each first mounting hole extends in the vertical direction.
[0111] The second mounting seat includes two second mounting blocks 331 which are vertically spaced apart at the end of the door body 2 and are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the hinge seat 31. Specifically, the spacing between the two second mounting blocks 331 is greater than the vertical dimension of the hinge seat 31, so that the hinge seat 31 can be mounted between the two second mounting blocks 331.
[0112] Since the cross sections of the end of the door body 2 and the end frame 13 adjacent to the door body 2 are circular, each second mounting block 331 is provided with a notch at the end connected to the door body 2, and the side wall of the notch is an arc surface, so that the second mounting block 331 can be closely attached to the door body 2, facilitating installation and fixation.
[0113] In the embodiment, the second mounting block 331 has an outer arc surface at the end thereof away from the door body 2, and the convex surface of the outer arc surface faces away from the door body 2.
[0114] Each second mounting block 331 is provided with a second mounting hole, and the axis of each second mounting hole extends in the vertical direction.
[0115] Reference Figure 6 In the embodiment, the first hinge shaft 34 realizes the hinged connection between the door body 2 and the hinge seat 31 through the first hinge hole 3111 and the first mounting seat. Specifically, the first hinge shaft 34 can be simultaneously arranged in the first hinge hole 3111 and the first mounting seat, that is, the first hinge shaft 34 can simultaneously pass through the first hinge hole 3111 and the two first mounting holes. Moreover, the first hinge shaft 34 is fixedly connected with the hinge seat 31, and the first hinge shaft 34 is rotatably connected with the first mounting seat. At this time, when an external force is applied to the door body 2 to make it rotate outward relative to the end frame 13, the first mounting seat rotates relative to the first hinge shaft 34, and the first hinge shaft 34 remains relatively stationary with the hinge seat 31. Specifically, the hinge seat 31 and the first hinge shaft 34 are fixedly connected through the fastener 36, and the fastener 36 can limit the vertical position of the first hinge shaft 34.
[0116] Specifically, the first hinge shaft 34 is provided with a through hole having an axis extending in the horizontal direction, and when the first hinge shaft 34 is arranged in the first hinge hole 3111, the through hole can communicate with the connecting hole 318. The fastener 36 is simultaneously arranged in the connecting hole 318 and the through hole to fix the first hinge shaft 34 with the hinge seat 31.
[0117] Reference Figure 1The axis of the first hinged shaft 34 of at least two double-shaft hinges 3 in the same vertical direction is on the same axis, i.e., coaxial. Further, the first hinged shaft 34 of at least two double-shaft hinges 3 in the same vertical direction is fixedly connected to realize synchronous rotation of the at least two double-shaft hinges 3.
[0118] Figure 14 A structure diagram of the connecting hinged shaft 6 in the embodiment.
[0119] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 14 In the embodiment, the first hinged shaft 34 of at least two double-shaft hinges 3 in the same vertical direction is integrally formed into a connecting hinged shaft 6, i.e., a connecting hinged shaft 6 is simultaneously provided in at least two hinged seats 31 and at least two first mounting seats from top to bottom.
[0120] Specifically, the connecting hinged shaft 6 is fixedly connected with the at least two hinged seats 31 and rotatably connected with the at least two first mounting seats, so that the at least two first mounting seats can simultaneously rotate around the connecting hinged shaft 6, realizing coaxial rotation of the at least two first mounting seats to reduce the error of the rotation angle of the at least two first mounting seats.
[0121] The connecting hinged shaft 6 is provided with screw holes 61 corresponding to the hinged seats 31 in the vertical direction. The axis of each screw hole 61 is in the same plane as the central axis of the connecting hinged shaft 6. The connecting hinged shaft 6 is fixedly connected with the at least two hinged seats 31 by being simultaneously inserted into the screw holes 61 and the corresponding connecting holes 318 through the fixing members. At this time, the connecting hinged shaft 6 protrudes upward from the top of the upper first mounting seat and protrudes downward from the bottom of the lower first mounting seat.
[0122] In the embodiment, the number of screw holes 61 is two, corresponding to the two hinged seats 31 arranged in the same vertical direction. In other embodiments, when the double-shaft hinges 3 arranged in the vertical direction between the door body 2 and the frame body are three, four, or other numbers, the number of screw holes 61 is correspondingly arranged as three, four, or other numbers.
[0123] The connecting hinged shaft 6 is further provided with at least one limiting hole 62. At this time, the carrying box further includes a limiting member 7 corresponding to the limiting hole 62, which is inserted into the limiting hole 62 as a spare limiting workpiece, and can be used to limit the vertical position of the connecting hinged shaft 6 when the fastener 36 fails to limit.
[0124] In the embodiment, the number of the limiting holes 62 is two, the two limiting holes 62 are located between the two screw holes 61, and after the connecting hinge shaft 6 is installed, the two limiting holes 62 are located between the two first mounting seats, and the upper limiting hole 62 is spaced from the upper first mounting seat, and the lower limiting hole 62 is spaced from the lower first mounting seat. Specifically, the vertical dimension from the axis of the lower limiting hole 62 to the top of the connecting hinge shaft 6 is not less than the vertical dimension from the top of the lower first mounting seat to the top of the upper hinge seat 31, so as to ensure that when the lower fastener 36 fails to limit and the connecting hinge shaft 6 moves downward, the lower limiting piece 7 can abut against the top of the lower first mounting seat, thereby preventing the connecting hinge shaft 6 from falling off.
[0125] In other embodiments, the number of the limiting holes 62 can be one, the limiting hole 62 is located at the lower end of the connecting hinge shaft 6 and above the first mounting seat below the door body 2; or the limiting hole 62 can be located at the upper end of the connecting hinge shaft 6 and above the first mounting seat above the door body 2.
[0126] The second hinge shaft 35 realizes the hinged connection between the door body 2 and the hinge seat 31 through the second hinge hole 3112 and the second mounting seat. The second hinge shaft 35 can be simultaneously arranged in the second hinge hole 3112 and the second mounting seat, that is, the second hinge shaft 35 can simultaneously pass through the second hinge hole 3112 and the two second mounting holes. The second hinge shaft 35 is connected and fixed with the two second mounting blocks 331, and the second hinge shaft 35 is rotatably connected with the hinge seat 31. At this time, when the door body 2 rotates outward by 90 degrees relative to the end frame 13, the end portion of the door body 2 abuts against the first outer protrusion 312, and the door body 2 continues to be forced to rotate outward relative to the end frame 13, the end portion of the door body 2 drives the hinge seat 31 to rotate around the second hinge shaft 35, and the second hinge shaft 35 remains relatively stationary with the two second mounting blocks 331.
[0127] The principle of the above-mentioned double-shaft hinge 3 for realizing the rotation of the door body 2 relative to the frame body is as follows:
[0128] Reference Figure 8 When the door body 2 is closed at the opening of the frame body, the longitudinal end portion of the door body 2 abuts against the first inner protrusion 313 on the hinge seat 31, so as to limit the inward rotation of the door body 2 relative to the frame body, and the transverse end portion of the end frame 13 of the frame body abuts against the second inner protrusion 315 on the hinge seat 31.
[0129] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12When an external force is applied to the door body 2 to rotate it outward relative to the frame body, the first mounting seat can rotate around the connecting hinge shaft 6 within a range of 0-90 degrees to realize the rotation of the door body 2 within a range of 0-90 degrees relative to the frame body. After the door body 2 is rotated outward relative to the frame body by 90 degrees, the longitudinal outer end thereof abuts against the first outer protrusion 312 on the hinge seat 31 to realize the rotation of the door body 2 within a range of 0-90 degrees relative to the connecting hinge shaft 6.
[0130] With reference to Figure 13 When the external force is continuously applied to the door body 2 to rotate it relative to the frame body, the door body 2 pushes the hinge seat 31 to rotate together, at which time the hinge seat 31 rotates around the second hinge shaft 35 within a range of 0-180 degrees to realize the rotation of the door body 2 within a range of 90-270 degrees relative to the frame body. Moreover, when the door body 2 is rotated to abut against the longitudinal outer side of the frame body, the second inner protrusion 315 abuts against the end of the frame body.
[0131] From the above technical solution, the present application has at least the following advantages and positive effects:
[0132] When the above-mentioned dual-shaft hinge is installed between the door body and the frame body, it can realize the large-angle opening and closing of the door body relative to the frame body within a range of 0-270 degrees, and the outer periphery of the dual-shaft hinge does not exceed the outer side of the frame body and the door body, so that the entire outer side of the carrying case is flat without protruding structures.
[0133] Further, the first hinge shafts of the two dual-shaft hinges in the same vertical direction are integrally formed to form the connecting hinge shaft, that is, the two dual-shaft hinges in the same vertical direction share one connecting hinge shaft, so that the two first mounting seats can rotate around the connecting hinge shaft at the same time, realizing the coaxial rotation of the two first mounting seats to reduce the error of the rotation angle of the two first mounting seats.
