[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 5 It is a specific embodiment of the present invention. A support frame 11 is provided inside the cargo box 1, and its structure also includes a plurality of push plates 2. Symmetrical slide groove groups 3 are provided on both sides of the top of the support frame 11. The slide groove group 3 is divided into an upper slide groove 31 and a lower slide groove 32 which are parallel to each other. The upper slide groove 31 and the lower slide groove 32 are both parallel to the horizontal plane and extend to the inside of the cargo box 1. A movable slide groove 12 which can circulate up and down is provided on the outer side of the slide groove group 3. A cross bar 13 which can slide freely horizontally is provided on the top of the support frame 11. The position where the movable slide groove 12 moves upward is aligned with the upper slide groove 31, so that the cross bar 13 slides from the upper slide groove 31 to the movable slide groove 12. The position where the movable slide groove 12 moves downward is aligned with the lower slide groove 32, so that the cross bar 13 slides from the movable slide groove 12 to the lower slide groove 32. The push plate 2 is hingedly arranged on the cross bar 13. When the push plate 2 moves on the upper slide groove 31, the push plate 2 is in a horizontal state. When the push plate 2 moves from the movable slide groove 12 to the lower slide groove 32, the push plate 2 is hingedly moved from the horizontal state to the vertical state. When the push plate 2 slides in the lower slide groove 32, the push plate 2 is in a vertical state.

[0018] The push plate 2 in the vertical state compresses the sponge toward the inside of the support frame 11, and the whole process realizes automatic compression of the sponge inside the cargo box 1. The present invention directly compresses the sponge inside the cargo box 1, avoids the increase of the rebound of the sponge during packaging and rolling, and saves the space of the cargo box 1.

[0019] In the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the push plate 2 includes an upper push plate 21 and a lower push plate 22. The bottom of the upper push plate 21 and the top of the lower push plate 22 are hingedly connected. The top and bottom of the upper push plate 21 and the top and bottom of the lower push plate 22 are respectively provided with pulley groups 4, and a winding rope is wound around the pulley group 4, so that the lower push plate 22 and the upper push plate 21 can be folded upward in sequence.

[0020] In the present invention, the winding rope preferentially acts on the pulley group 4 at the top and bottom of the lower push plate 22, so that the lower push plate 22 and the upper push plate 21 are folded preferentially, and then the winding rope acts on the bottom and top of the upper push plate 21, so that the upper push plate 21 is folded on the cross bar 13, thereby realizing the folding of the push plate 2 from a vertical state to a horizontal state.

[0021] In the present invention, when the cross bar 13 drives the push plate 2 to slide at the position of the upper slide groove 31, the push plate 2 is in a horizontal state, which can prevent the push plate 2 from vertically blocking the inside of the cargo box 1, thereby preventing the push plate 2 from blocking the sponge from being placed into the cargo box 1.

[0022] In the present invention, as a preferred solution, two mutually parallel guide rails 5 are provided at the bottom of the cargo box 1, a sponge placement position is formed between the two guide rails 5, a movable gantry 51 is provided on the guide rails 5, and a plurality of vertical rods 52 are provided on both sides of the support frame 11, and the vertical rods 52 are located on the outside of the gantry 51; Symmetrical and movable bolt rods 53 are provided on the upper push plate 21 and the lower push plate 22. The movable directions of the bolt rods 53 correspond to the two vertical rods 52 respectively. The movable positions of the bolt rods 53 are divided into a first gear position 101 and a second gear position 102. When the bolt rod 53 is in the first gear position 101, the gantry 51 presses the bolt rod 53 so that the bolt rod 53 moves forward. When the bolt rod 53 is in the second gear position 102, the bolt rod 53 extends to the outside of the vertical rod 52, so that the vertical rod 52 limits the position of the bolt rod 53.

[0023] In the present invention, the push plate 2 moves from the movable slide groove 12 to the downward slide groove 32 with the forward movement of the gantry 51 as the driving force. The setting of the guide rail 5 ensures the stability of the movement of the gantry 51. Secondly, when the gantry 51 pushes the push plate 2, the gantry 51 acts on the bolt rod 53 in the first gear position 101, so that the push plate 2 is pushed forward. When the sponge is compressed to the limit, the bolt rod 53 is moved to the second gear position 102. The position of the bolt rod 53 is limited by the vertical rod 52, so that the push plate 2 compresses the sponge inside the cargo box 1.

[0024] In the present invention, as a preferred solution, both ends of the gantry 51 are provided with card slots 6, and the heights of the card slots 6 and the bolt rod 53 are aligned. When the gantry 51 presses the bolt rod 53, the bolt rod 53 is correspondingly stuck in the inside of the card slots 6.

[0025] In the present invention, the bolt rod 53 is clamped in the clamping groove 6 , which can ensure the stability of the gantry 51 pressing on the bolt rod 53 .

[0027] In the present invention, the bolt rod 53 moves inside the bolt groove 7, so that the bolt rod 53 can reach the first gear position 101 or the second gear position 102, and then the bolt rod 53 is rotated by the handle 71, and the handle 71 is stuck in the first limit groove 72 or the second limit groove 73, so that the bolt rod 53 stays in the first gear position 101 or the second gear position 102 accordingly.

[0028] In the present invention, as a preferred solution, a cylinder 8 is provided at the end of the support frame 11 , and the output end of the cylinder 8 is connected to the movable slide groove 12 .

[0029] In the present invention, the upper and lower cylinders 8 of the movable slide 12 serve as the power.

[0030] In the present invention, as a preferred solution, rotatable guide wheels 9 are provided at both ends of the cross bar 13 .

[0031] In the present invention, the setting of the guide wheel 9 ensures the stability of the lateral movement.
