[0022] Figure 2 It is a schematic view of the rotation opening of the side plate of the present application;

[0023] Figure 3This is a schematic diagram showing the horizontal expansion of the present invention;

[0024] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the vertical extension of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0026] This invention provides an expandable, variable-configuration modular aircraft product packaging box. Through the modular packaging box design, the assembly process is quick. By connecting the various packaging box modules, a testing space that meets the requirements of temperature, humidity, and cleanliness can be formed. Compared with building a test plant, it greatly saves construction costs and provides great reference value for the design of similar models in the future.

[0027] Scalable, modular aircraft product packaging boxes, such as Figure 1 As shown, the package includes two side panels 2, a top cover 1, two end panels 3, and a bottom plate 4. The bottom plate 4 is a horizontally placed rectangular plate structure; the two end panels 3 are vertically and symmetrically installed on two opposite sides of the bottom plate 4; the two side panels 2 are symmetrically and vertically installed on the other two opposite sides of the bottom plate 4; the top cover 1 is horizontally installed on top of the two side panels 2 and the two end panels 3; the two side panels 2, the top cover 1, the two end panels 3, and the bottom plate 4 form a packaging box. The packaging box also includes an air conditioner 5; the air conditioner 5 is installed on one of the end panels 3; the air conditioner 5 regulates the internal temperature of the packaging box. The packaging box formed by the two side panels 2, the top cover 1, the two end panels 3, and the bottom plate 4 is airtight, meeting the requirements for temperature, humidity, and cleanliness.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the connection between the top of the side plate 2 and the upper cover plate 1 is a rotatable connection; this allows the side plate 2 to rotate upward relative to the upper cover plate 1 with the connection as the axis.

[0029] The packaging box adopts a modular design, allowing multiple boxes to be expanded and spliced ​​together. The inner wall of the side panel 2 is provided with a universal standard interface; the upper surface of the top cover 1 is provided with a universal standard interface; and the lower surface of the bottom plate 4 is provided with a universal standard interface.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, when the packaging box is expanded horizontally, the side panel 2 of the packaging box to be expanded rotates to a horizontal state relative to the top cover 1; the expanded part of the packaging box does not have a top cover 1; the top of the expanded part of the packaging box is directly connected to the horizontal side panel 2 through a universal standard interface; thus realizing the horizontal expansion.

[0031] like Figure 4As shown, when the packaging box is expanded vertically, the expanded portion of the packaging box is placed on top of the packaging box to be expanded, so that the bottom plate 4 of the expanded portion of the packaging box is connected to the top cover plate 1 of the packaging box to be expanded through a universal standard interface, thereby achieving vertical expansion.

[0032] When the packaging box is extended vertically, the extended part is either the packaging box or the lifting box; when it is the lifting box, the top of the lifting box is equipped with a lifting structure, and the packaging box can be lifted and moved by the lifting box.

[0033] The end plate 3 is equipped with a power connector, which enables the power distribution equipment loaded inside the packaging box to be powered by an external diesel generator.

[0034] The packaging box's expansion modules use a standardized connection method. Depending on the assembly and testing requirements, the expansion modules can be replaced. For example, the height is adjustable, an expansion compartment can be added to the top of the main packaging box, and if lifting is required, an expansion module equipped with a small crane can be used.

[0035] By connecting the diesel generator to the power distribution equipment inside the packaging box, the packaging box can be expanded to perform electrical tests and other projects after the aircraft returns.

[0036] This invention breaks away from the conventional product image of traditional aircraft packaging boxes by designing a universal interface. The main packaging box can adapt to the enveloping size requirements of conventional transport packaging boxes during the transportation of aircraft products; through modular packaging box assembly, the expanded packaging box has airtightness, which can meet the temperature, humidity, and cleanliness requirements of reusable aircraft; the space range of the expanded packaging box can meet the assembly and testing needs after the reusable aircraft returns without leaving the box.

[0037] This invention can adapt to the enveloping size requirements of conventional transport packaging boxes during transportation; and the expanded packaging box is airtight, which can meet the temperature, humidity and cleanliness requirements of reusable aircraft for packaging boxes.

[0038] The expanded packaging space of this invention can meet the assembly and testing needs of reusable aircraft after their return, even without leaving the packaging; it has a simple structure, high reliability, and short product processing cycle, enabling rapid testing of aircraft after their return.
