It is difficult to align the convex columns and the concave holes, and the connection contact surface between the convex columns and the concave holes is small. When stacking plastic boxes up and down, it is not stable enough. During the process of loading onto a vehicle and transferring to a warehouse, it is not convenient to lift and transfer by a forklift, and it is easy to be displaced during handling. In addition, when manually handling, the number of plastic boxes that can be carried at one time is limited, the goods turnover efficiency is low, and the labor intensity is high.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0036] Plastic boxes are widely used in the turnover transportation of food, industrial parts, handicrafts, etc., which is convenient for batch transportation and handling. During the process of loading onto a vehicle and transporting to a warehouse, since the stacking connection between the plastic boxes is not stable enough, it is not convenient to lift and transport them by a forklift. And the number of plastic boxes that can be carried manually at one time is limited, with low work efficiency and high intensity.
[0037] In the present invention, a plastic box and a turnover bracket used in cooperation with the plastic box are proposed. Improvements are made to the structure of the plastic box, so that the plastic boxes can be stacked stably up and down, and can be quickly connected to and detached from the turnover bracket, realizing the stable connection of multiple plastic boxes at one time for transportation, and improving the efficiency of goods turnover.
[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0039] The present invention proposes a plastic box, which at least comprises a bottom plate 1, a wall plate 2 radially extending around the edge of the bottom plate 1, and a ring plate 3 arranged around the inner wall of the wall plate 2. A convex plate 101 is formed on the lower surface of the bottom plate 1, and the thickness of the convex plate 101 is equal to the distance from the upper surface of the ring plate 3 to the upper edge of the wall plate 2. The wall plate 2 is at least partially perpendicular to the surface of the convex plate 101, and has an inwardly concave fitting groove 201 at the part of the wall plate 2 perpendicular to the surface of the convex plate 101, and the two side edges of the fitting groove 201 have wing plates 202 extending toward each other; the projection of the boundary line K between the convex plate 101 and the bottom plate 1 on the upper surface of the ring plate 3 is between the inner boundary contour line A and the outer boundary contour line B of the ring plate 3.
[0040] When the plastic boxes are stacked up and down, the boundary line K between the convex plate 101 of the upper plastic box and the bottom plate 1 is between the inner boundary contour line A and the outer boundary contour line B of the ring plate 3 of the lower plastic box, so that the bottom convex plate 101 of the upper plastic box is stably placed on the ring plate 3 of the lower plastic box, and the plastic boxes stacked up and down can be embedded and connected, not easy to dislocate, and have high stability; in addition, since the wall panel 2 of each plastic box has an inwardly concave embedding groove 201, and since the wall panel 2 is arranged around the edge of the bottom plate 1, that is, the bottom plate 1 also has a concave structure corresponding to the embedding groove 201, this structure can provide the function of accurately aligning the position and guiding the embedding when the plastic boxes are stacked up and down. After stacking, the embedding groove 201 of each plastic box is in an upward and downward aligned position, which is convenient for cooperating with the turnover bracket to connect and fix the position of the plastic box.
[0041] In addition, a plurality of guide blocks 4 perpendicular to the surface of the ring plate 3 are provided between the upper surface of the ring plate 3 and the inner wall of the wall plate 2, and a plurality of guide grooves 1011 are opened at the edge of the convex plate 101. The guide blocks 4 and the guide grooves 1011 are arranged one by one in the radial direction, and the guide blocks 4 and the guide grooves 1011 are aligned and matched, and the guide blocks 4 slide radially along the guide grooves 1011 to quickly stack plastic boxes.
[0042] The wall panel 2 is at least partially perpendicular to the surface of the convex plate 101. Preferably, the wall panel 2 is completely perpendicular to the surface of the convex plate 101 in the circumferential direction. Specifically, the wall panel 2 may be a square configuration with a prismatic outer wall or a cylindrical outer wall.
[0043] See also Figure 2-3, the wall panel 2 has a square configuration. Among them, the fitting groove 201 is opened in the middle of one of the longer side walls of the wall panel 2. At this time, the fitting groove 201 has a width sufficient to stably fix the plastic box and the turnover bracket through coupling connection. The wall panels 2 are neatly stacked in an up-and-down alignment, which is convenient for storage and transportation. In this embodiment, guide blocks 4 are respectively provided on at least both sides of the longer side wall and the middle of the shorter side wall of the wall panel 2. The setting of multiple guide blocks 4 provides multiple fixed points for determining the alignment position of the plastic box in the circumferential direction. At the same time, since the guide blocks 4 provide multiple connection points at different positions for the vertical stacking of the plastic boxes in the circumferential direction, it has the effect of preventing the plastic boxes from tipping over.
[0044] Among them, two strip-shaped grooves 1012 are parallelly opened on both sides of the bottom surface of the convex plate 101. The strip-shaped grooves 1012 can be conveniently engaged with the convex ribs 9 of the turnover bracket, so that the plastic box has the freedom to move along the length direction of the convex ribs 9.
[0045] In the present invention, a turnover bracket used in cooperation with the plastic box is also proposed. It includes a pallet 5 at the bottom, a central shaft rod 6 is fixed in the middle of one side edge perpendicular to the upper surface of the pallet 5. It also includes two limiting plates 7. The two limiting plates 7 are both rotatably connected to the central shaft rod 6, and the connection positions are respectively located at the adjacent side plates of the two limiting plates 7. The two limiting plates 7 form a structure that can be opened and closed to switch the opening and closing state on both sides of the central shaft rod 6. The relatively far side edges of the two limiting plates 7 can be coupled and connected to the fitting groove 201. When coupled and connected, the plastic box is close to the surface of the limiting plate 7. In addition, the turnover bracket further includes a locking member 8. The locking member 8 specifically includes an operating unit and a cooperating unit. After the limiting plate 7 is coupled with the fitting groove 201, the operating unit and the cooperating unit are connected, and the two limiting plates 7 are positioned at parallel and flush surfaces, and the limiting plate 7 is attached to the rear wall of the plastic box.
[0046] In addition, a handrail can be fixed above the pallet 5 on the same side as the central shaft rod 6, and universal wheels 10 can be provided at the bottom of the pallet 5. Pulling the handrail can drag the turnover bracket to move, realizing the transfer of the plastic box.
[0047] Among them, the operating unit is a locking hook 801. The tail of the locking hook 801 is hinged to the back surface of one of the limiting plates 7, and the end is hook-shaped. The cooperating unit is a fixing column 802 that is buckled and connected to the hook-shaped end of the locking hook 801. The fixing column 802 is fixed to the back surface of the other limiting plate 7. Rotating the locking hook 801 can buckle the hook-shaped end of the locking hook 801 to the fixing column 802, so that the locking member 8 is in a connected state.
[0048] As an implementation manner of the present invention, two convex ribs 9 are provided on the surface of the pallet 5, and the strip-shaped grooves 1012 on the bottom plate 1 of the plastic box are slidably connected to the corresponding convex ribs 9. The extending direction of the convex ribs 9 is perpendicular to the plane of the front side of the limiting plate 7 when it is fixed by the locking member 8. The plastic box can slide along the extending direction of the convex ribs 9 to adjust its position. Stack the plastic boxes at one end of the convex ribs 9 away from the limiting plate 7, and then slide the plastic boxes along the convex ribs 9 towards the limiting plate 7. The plastic boxes will push and open the two relatively closed limiting plates 7 to both sides until the edges of the two sides of the limiting plate 7 are coupled to the fitting grooves 201, and the limiting plate 7 is attached to the rear wall of the plastic box. Then, connect the locking member 8, and the two limiting plates 7 can be fixed in the open and flush positions.
[0049] In addition, a card slot 701 for engaging with the wing plate 202 is provided at the side of the limiting plate 7. The part of the limiting plate 7 in front of the card slot 701 is longer than the part behind the card slot 701. When the limiting plate 7 is in the open position and coupled to the fitting groove 201, the wing plate 202 is simultaneously engaged in the card slot 701, forming a two-fold connection effect, making the connection between the plastic box and the turnover bracket more stable.
[0050] To reduce the resistance of sliding and pushing the plastic box in the extending direction of the convex ribs 9, a long groove 901 is provided on the surface of the convex ribs 9, and a number of rolling members 902 are arranged at intervals in the long groove 901. The rolling members 902 can be ball bearings or rollers. When the plastic box is placed on the pallet 5 for pushing and pulling movement, the rolling members 902 are in contact with and fixed to the bottom surface of the lowermost plastic box, enabling the plastic box to be quickly fixedly connected to or disconnected from the turnover bracket.
[0051] The cooperation and use method of the plastic box and the turnover bracket:
[0052] (1) Stack the plastic boxes one above the other at one end of the convex ribs 9 away from the limiting plate 7;
[0053] (2) Slide the plastic boxes along the extending direction of the convex ribs 9 towards the limiting plate 7. The plastic boxes will push and open the two relatively closed limiting plates 7 to both sides until the edges of the two sides of the limiting plate 7 are coupled to the fitting grooves 201. At this time, the limiting plate 7 is attached to the rear wall of the plastic box;
[0054] (3) Hook the locking hook 801 of the locking member 8 to the fixing column 802, and the two limiting plates 7 are fixed in the open and flush positions. At this time, the limiting plate 7 is always open and coupled to the fitting groove 201, and all the stacked plastic boxes above and below cannot move and break away from the turnover bracket;
[0055] (4) Move the turnover bracket to realize the transfer of the plastic boxes. When unloading, loosen the locking member 8 and pull the plastic boxes along the direction away from the limiting plate 7 until the two limiting plates 7 gradually open and disengage from the fitting grooves 201.
[0056] The above-described embodiments are only descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design concept of the present invention, various variations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
