Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mud and water treatment equipment, and in particular to a detachable box structure. Background Technology

[0002] During the construction of tunnels, roads, bridges, and other engineering projects, specialized equipment is needed to treat the mud generated during construction in order to meet environmental protection requirements and ensure safe and civilized production. Various water tanks are required for mud treatment. However, current technology typically uses on-site welded steel structure water tanks to solve this problem, but these tanks have the following disadvantages:

[0003] Steel-structured welded water tanks are typically large in size, requiring significant space for welding and necessitating numerous matching conditions and resources, leading to inconveniences in site layout and use. The manufacture of these tanks consumes substantial amounts of steel, increasing construction costs and resource consumption, which contradicts current environmental protection principles of resource conservation. Due to their size and weight, transportation is extremely difficult, particularly at construction sites with complex geographical conditions. These tanks are usually for single-use only. After construction, they must be dismantled and recycled as scrap steel, wasting significant amounts of steel resources and increasing the cost and workload of dismantling and recycling. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of existing steel structure welded water tanks occupying a large space during transportation and being unable to be reassembled after dismantling, and to provide a detachable tank structure.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a detachable box structure, the box including a bottom plate and a pair of side plates connected to the bottom plate, the side plates being disposed on symmetrical edges of the bottom plate, each side plate including a fixing plate connected to the bottom plate, the side plate also including an extension plate, a movable connecting member being provided between the extension plate and the fixing plate, the extension plate having an extended state when its bottom surface is on the same horizontal line as the top surface of the fixing plate, and a retracted state when the side surface of the extension plate contacts the side surface of the fixing plate, and two end plates being detachably connected between the pair of side plates and detachably connected to the bottom plate.

[0006] This invention relates to a detachable box structure. A pair of symmetrically arranged side plates and end plates are connected to a base plate to form a box structure with an open top, ensuring sufficient volume to hold mud and water. The side plates are designed as two sections: a fixed plate and an extension plate. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the base plate, achieving a stable connection between the entire side plate and the base plate. The extension plate is connected to the fixed plate via a movable connector, allowing for flexible switching between two working states: In the extended state, the bottom surface of the extension plate and the top surface of the fixed plate are on the same horizontal plane, forming a complete side plate, providing sufficient volume to hold mud, water, or other substances; in the retracted state, the side of the extension plate contacts the side of the fixed plate, and through the movable connector, the extension plate can be folded to the side of the fixed plate, reducing the overall size and achieving compact storage. The end plates are detachably connected to the side plates, and also detachably connected to the base plate. This design allows the end panels to be easily detached and placed inside the cabinet when not in use, further reducing storage volume. This foldable design enables the extension panels to be placed on the side of the fixed panel via movable connectors when not in use. The end panels can also be detached and placed inside the cabinet through detachable connections between the panels, achieving compact storage and significantly reducing storage space and transportation costs. The movable connectors allow the cabinet to quickly transform from a retractable state to an extended state, simplifying assembly and disassembly and improving ease of use. Users can easily unfold and fold the cabinet in a short time. The modular design improves material utilization, reduces production and usage costs, extends the cabinet's lifespan, and enhances economic efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the fixed plate has a first limiting member on the outward side, and the extension plate has a second limiting member on the outward side. The first limiting member and the second limiting member are detachably connected. When the extension plate and the fixed plate are in the extended state, the first limiting member is connected to the second limiting member. When the extension plate and the fixed plate are in the retracted state, the first limiting member and the second limiting member are separated.

[0008] The first and second limiting components ensure a more flexible and reliable connection between the extension plate and the fixed plate in different working states of the enclosure. When the extension plate and fixed plate are extended, the bottom surface of the extension plate and the top surface of the fixed plate are on the same horizontal plane, forming a complete side plate. At this time, the first and second limiting components connect to ensure a stable connection between the extension plate and the fixed plate, improving the overall stability of the enclosure and preventing the extension plate from shifting or loosening during use. When the extension plate and fixed plate are retracted, the side of the extension plate contacts the side of the fixed plate. At this time, the first and second limiting components separate, allowing the extension plate to be flexibly folded to the side of the fixed plate, achieving compact storage of the enclosure. This design significantly reduces the space occupied by the enclosure when not in use, facilitating storage and transportation.

[0009] Preferably, the movable connector includes a first connector located at the end of the fixed plate away from the base plate, and the movable connector further includes a second connector located on the extension plate, and the first connector and the second connector are movably connected.

[0010] This design allows for flexible angle adjustments and position changes between the extension plate and the fixed plate, enabling the extension plate to easily switch between extended and retracted states.

[0011] Preferably, the first connector is located on the side of the fixing plate facing the box body, one end of the first connector is connected to the side wall of the fixing plate, and the other end is provided with a first through hole. The second connector is located on the end of the extension plate facing the box body, one end of the second connector is connected to the side wall of the extension plate, and the other end is provided with a second through hole. The first through hole and the second through hole are connected by a pin.

[0012] By engaging the pin with the first and second through holes, the extension plate can be folded into the box for recycling. This prevents the box width from increasing after recycling, saving space during transportation. By embedding the movable connector (facing inwards) and placing the first and second limiting members externally (facing outwards), water pressure can be applied to the side plate when water is injected into the box, improving the sealing performance.

[0013] Preferably, each side plate includes a mounting portion, the mounting portion including a mounting head located at both ends of the side plate, the mounting portion further including a mounting plate adapted to the mounting head, the mounting plate and the mounting head forming a mounting groove, the mounting groove being used to mount the end plate.

[0014] By forming an installation groove with side plates, mounting heads, and mounting plates, the end plates can be easily disassembled and assembled, reducing installation time and labor intensity on the construction site.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of first connecting holes, and bolts are provided in the first connecting holes, with the end face of the bolts abutting against the inner wall of the end plate.

[0016] This design ensures the stability of the end plate and side plate installation and the tightness of the structure.

[0017] Preferably, a stabilizing block is provided between the end plate and the bolt end face, with one end of the stabilizing block abutting against the end plate and the other end abutting against the bolt end face.

[0018] The stabilizing blocks evenly distribute the pressure applied to the end plate to the bolt end faces, preventing localized deformation or damage caused by uneven pressure. This design ensures that the connecting components bear loads more evenly, thereby extending the service life of the enclosure.

[0019] Preferably, the inner wall of the side plate is provided with an ear plate, and the oppositely arranged side plates are connected by a support device through the ear plate.

[0020] The rigidity of the side plates is enhanced by the connection between the ear plates and the support device, which helps maintain the shape and function of the water tank.

[0021] Preferably, the support device includes a strut, and both ends of the strut are connected to the ear plate.

[0022] Preferably, a first sealing element is provided at the connection between the side plate and the end plate, and a second sealing element is provided at the connection between the end plate and the bottom plate.

[0023] Improve the sealing of the box joints.

[0024] Preferably, when the side plate is in the extended state, a third sealing element is provided at the connection between the extension plate and the fixed plate.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] 1. This invention relates to a detachable box structure. A pair of symmetrically arranged side plates and end plates are connected to a base plate to form a box structure with an opening at the top, ensuring sufficient volume to hold mud and water. The side plates are designed as two sections: a fixed plate and an extension plate. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the base plate, achieving a stable connection between the entire side plate and the base plate. The extension plate is connected to the fixed plate via a movable connector, allowing for flexible switching between two working states: In the extended state, the bottom surface of the extension plate and the top surface of the fixed plate are on the same horizontal plane, forming a complete side plate, providing sufficient volume to hold mud, water, or other substances; in the retracted state, the side of the extension plate contacts the side of the fixed plate, and through the movable connector, the extension plate can be folded to the side of the fixed plate, reducing the overall size and achieving compact storage. The end plates are detachably connected to the side plates, and similarly, to the base plate. This design allows the end panels to be easily detached and placed inside the cabinet when not in use, further reducing storage volume. This foldable design enables the extension panels to be placed on the side of the fixed panel via movable connectors when not in use. The end panels can also be detached and placed inside the cabinet through detachable connections between the panels, achieving compact storage and significantly reducing storage space and transportation costs. The movable connectors allow the cabinet to quickly transform from a retractable state to an extended state, simplifying assembly and disassembly and improving ease of use. Users can easily unfold and fold the cabinet in a short time. The modular design improves material utilization, reduces production and usage costs, extends the cabinet's lifespan, and enhances economic efficiency. Attached image description:

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments. However, this should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention to the following embodiments; all technologies implemented based on the content of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0038] Unless otherwise specified, the use of terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "center," "inner," and "outer" to indicate orientation or positional relationships in the description of specific embodiments of the present invention is based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product / equipment / device is typically placed during use. These terms are merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present invention or simplifying the description in specific embodiments, enabling those skilled in the art to quickly understand the solution, and do not indicate or imply that a particular device / component / element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific positional relationship. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0039] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," "suspended," and "parallel" does not imply that the corresponding device / component / element must be absolutely horizontal, vertical, suspended, or parallel, but rather that it can be slightly tilted or have a deviation. For example, "horizontal" merely means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," not that the structure must be completely horizontal, but that it can be slightly tilted. Alternatively, it can be simplified to mean that the corresponding device / component / element, when set in a "horizontal," "vertical," "suspended," or "parallel" direction, can have an error / deviation of ±10% relative to the corresponding direction, more preferably within ±8%, more preferably within ±6%, more preferably within ±5%, and more preferably within ±4%. As long as the corresponding device / component / element is within the error / deviation range, it can still achieve its function in the present invention.

[0040] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first," "second," and "third" in terminology is merely for distinguishing between identical or similar components and should not be interpreted as emphasizing or implying the relative importance of a particular component.

[0041] Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "several", "more than", and "a number of" represent at least two. The number can be any number, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, and can even exceed nine.

[0042] Furthermore, in the description of the technical solution of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified / limited / restricted, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," "link," "provided with," "laid out," and "arranged" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to common connection methods in the art, such as welding, riveting, bolting, and threaded connections. Such connections can be mechanical, electrical, or communication connections; they can be direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a detachable box structure includes a bottom plate 1 and a pair of side plates 2 connected to the bottom plate 1. The side plates 2 are arranged on opposite edges of the bottom plate 1. The bottom plate 1 is also provided with a pair of end plates 3. The box structure is formed by the bottom plate 1, the pair of side plates 2 and the pair of end plates 3, and all the plates are detachably connected.

[0045] The side plate 2 includes a fixed plate 21, one end of which is connected to the base plate 1. An extension plate 22 is provided at the end of the fixed plate 21 away from the base plate 1, and the extension plate 22 and the fixed plate 21 are movably connected. This movable connection allows the side plate 2 to have two working states: when the side of the extension plate 22 contacts the side of the fixed plate 21, the height of the entire side plate 2 depends on the height of the fixed plate 21, and the surface area of ​​the side of the side plate 2 is the same as the surface area of ​​the fixed plate 21; in this state, the extension plate 22 is in a retracted state. The side plate 2 is in a retracted state when the bottom surface of the extension plate 22 contacts the fixed plate 21. When the top surface of the fixed plate 21 is on the same plane, the height of the side plate 2 is equal to the sum of the height of the extension plate 22 and the height of the fixed plate 21, and the surface area of ​​the side of the side plate 2 is equal to the sum of the surface area of ​​the side of the extension plate 22 and the surface area of ​​the side of the fixed plate 21. At this time, the extension plate 22 of the side plate 2 is in an extended state. This allows the fixed plate 21 and the extension plate 22 to be quickly converted into an extended state when the box needs to be used, avoiding on-site splicing and speeding up construction efficiency. When the box is used and needs to be transported or stored, the fixed plate 21 and the extension plate 22 can be converted into a retractable state, thereby reducing the space occupied by the entire box and facilitating transportation.

[0046] Furthermore, the fixed plate 21 is provided with a first limiting member 211, and the extension plate 22 is provided with a second limiting member 221 that is adapted to the first limiting member 211. The first limiting member 211 and the second limiting member 221 are detachably connected by fixing bolts. When the side plate 2 is in the extended state, the fixed plate 21 and the extension plate 22 are fixed in relative position by the first limiting member 211 and the second limiting member 221 to prevent the fixed plate 21 and the extension plate 22 from becoming loose, which would prevent the side plate 2 from extending and thus prevent the box from working.

[0047] When the box needs to be stored, the fixing bolts are removed to separate the connection between the first limiting member 211 and the second limiting member 221. At this time, the fixing plate 21 and the extension plate 22 are retracted through the movable connecting device, so that the side wall of the extension plate 22 contacts the side wall of the fixing plate 21 (i.e. the height of the side plate 2 drops), and the side plate 2 of the box is retracted.

[0048] In one or more embodiments, the fixed plate 21 and the extension plate 22 are movably connected by a movable connector 4. The movable connector 4 includes a first connector 41, which is connected to the fixed plate 21 and is disposed opposite to the first limiting member 211. The end of the first connector 41 away from the fixed plate 21 is provided with a first through hole 411.

[0049] The movable connector 4 also includes a second connector 42, which is disposed opposite to the second limiting member 221. One end of the second connector 42 is connected to the extension plate 22, and the other end is provided with a second through hole 421 that is adapted to the first through hole 411.

[0050] The first through hole 411 and the second through hole 421 are connected by a pin 5. This allows the fixed plate 21 and the extension plate 22 to rotate via the pin 5 when the first limiting member 211 and the second limiting member 221 are not connected (i.e., the fixed plate 21 remains in the same position, while the extension plate 22 rotates around the pin 5). Figures 4 to 5 as well as Figures 8 to 9 As shown.

[0051] In one or more embodiments, each side plate 2 is provided with a mounting portion 23 at both ends. The mounting portion 23 includes a mounting head 231 located at the end of the side plate 2 and vertically arranged at the end of the side plate 2. The mounting portion 23 also includes a vertically arranged mounting plate 232. The number of mounting plates 232 is adapted to the number of mounting heads 231, with one mounting head 231 corresponding to one mounting plate 232. The mounting head 231, the mounting plate 232, and the side plate 2 wall form a mounting groove 233. By setting the mounting groove 233, it is ensured that the end plate 3 can be installed between two oppositely arranged side plates 2 through the mounting groove 233.

[0052] Furthermore, each mounting plate 232 is provided with several first connecting holes, and each first connecting hole is provided with a bolt 2321. In use, one end of the bolt 2321 enters the mounting groove 233 through the first connecting hole and abuts against the end plate 3, ensuring a tighter connection between the end plate 3 and the side plate 2. Figure 2 and Figures 6 to 7 As shown.

[0053] In one or more embodiments, a support device 25 is provided between two oppositely arranged side panels 2. The support device 25 is connected to the side panel through an ear plate 24. One end of the ear plate 24 is connected to the support device 25, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the side panel 2. The connection is detachable, so that when the box is in use, the side panel 2 is in an extended state. The support device 25 can ensure the structural stability of the entire box in the extended state.

[0054] Furthermore, the support device 25 includes a strut 251, which is arranged laterally and its two ends are respectively connected to the side plate 2 via ear plates 24, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0055] In one or more embodiments, the support device 25 is disposed between two opposite mounting heads 231, so that the end plate 3 can be limited by the support device 25.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] This second embodiment is an application of the first embodiment in operation. After the tank is assembled, liquid (mostly muddy water) is injected into the tank. After water is injected into the tank, the water pressure acts on various contact surfaces inside the tank. When the water level inside the tank rises, the water pressure pushes against various surfaces inside the tank, especially the contact surfaces of side panel 2 and end panel 3. Due to the water pressure, the contact pressure between side panel 2 and the tank increases. This additional pressure effectively fills any tiny gaps that may exist between side panel 2 and the tank, ensuring the water tank's airtightness and preventing water leakage.

[0058] As can be seen from Embodiment 1, the extension plate 22 and the fixed plate 21 are folded together through the first through hole 411, the second through hole 421, and the pin 5. Since the first through hole 411 is located on the first connector 41, which is located on the side of the fixed plate 21 facing the inside of the box, and the second through hole 421 is located on the second connector 42, which is located on the side of the extension plate 22 facing the inside of the box, when an external force is applied to fold the extension plate 22, the extension plate 22 will fold around the pin 5 toward the inside of the box. After the extension plate 22 is folded around the pin 5 until the bottom surface of the extension plate 22 contacts the top surface of the fixed plate 21, the water pressure inside the box applies an external force to the extension plate 22, thereby making the contact between the extension plate 22 and the fixed plate 21 tighter and increasing the sealing performance.

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
