[0052] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, the present invention provides a container fluid discharge system, including a container body. In this embodiment, the container body is taken as a box structure for example. The box body includes a base 11 and four side panels arranged opposite to each other. The four side panels are divided into a pair of long side panels 12 and a pair of short side panels 13. The pair of long side panels and the pair of short side panels are arranged opposite to each other. The pair of long side panels, the pair of short side panels and the base 11 are combined to form a rectangular cavity for loading goods. In some cases, the lengths of the long side panels and the short side panels can also be the same, in which case a square cavity is formed. Each side panel and the base are usually plastic parts, which can be made by existing processes such as vacuum forming and injection molding.

[0053] Preferably, the side panels are connected to the base in a foldable manner relative to the base. The base 11 in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of edge guards extending in the thickness direction of the base, each edge guard is arranged corresponding to one of the side panels, and a number of hanging grooves are arranged on the inner side of each edge guard, and a hook corresponding to the hanging groove is also arranged at the bottom of each side panel, and each side panel can be folded relative to the base by the hook at the bottom of itself and the corresponding hanging groove. The box body also includes a box cover 14, one side of the box cover 14 is pivotally connected to the top of one of the long side panels 12 through a hinge, so that the box cover 14 can be turned over to cover the opening of the cavity and can be turned to the outside of the long side panel to make the box body in an open state. The other side of the box cover 14 is provided with a lock 2, and the lock 2 is fixed with the top of another long side panel 12 to achieve a fixed connection between the box cover 14 and the long side panel 12, so as to replace the disposable strapping tape and the strapping buckle, simplify the packaging procedure, and overcome the defects of sealing and lock stability caused by the combination of the two covers of the old box body, which is convenient and easy to use. In some cases, lock buckles may also be provided on the short side panels, or lock buckles may be provided on both the short side panels and the long side panels.

[0054] The top surface of the box cover 14 is also provided with a sedimentation type fluid collection area 141, which is used to receive liquid (such as condensed water) flowing out of the base of another box stacked on the box cover, and guide these liquids from the sedimentation type fluid collection area 141 to the side of the box to flow away, thereby discharging the condensed water accumulated in the box to the outside of the box, realizing the function of automatic discharge of condensed water in the box, which can reduce the loss of goods in the box, while reducing weight and improving economy.

[0055] The sedimentation fluid collection area 141 in this embodiment is a sinking area 1411 disposed on the top surface of the box cover 14, and a box cover drainage stopper 142 is disposed at the edge of the sinking area, and the box cover drainage stopper 142 protrudes from the surface of the sinking area 1411, so that the sinking area 1411 is used as a water storage area. A drainage notch 1421 is also disposed on the box cover drainage stopper 142, and the condensed water in the sinking area 1411 can be discharged from the box body through the drainage notch 1421.

[0056] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The drainage notches 1421 of the box cover 14 are located on the opposite sides of the corresponding short side plates, and the edges of the long side plates on both sides are not provided with notches. The eaves 143 of the box cover 14 on one side edge corresponding to the drainage notch 1421 overlap the upper end of the corresponding side plate and form a cover to prevent condensed water from flowing back into the box.

[0057] See also Figure 5-Figure 9 as well as Fig.18The base 11 is also provided with a plurality of base drainage channels 111 penetrating the base 11. When the box is stacked on another box, the vertical projection surfaces of these base drainage channels 111 are all located in the sedimentation fluid collection area 141 of the box cover below. In this embodiment, the base drainage infiltration area formed by all the base drainage channels 111 is located in a rectangular area with a length and a width of a and b respectively, and the vertical projection area of ​​the rectangular area is located in the sedimentation fluid collection area 141, so that the condensed water flowing out of these base drainage channels 111 can be collected in the sedimentation fluid collection area 141 of the box cover below, and then discharged to the outside of the box through the corresponding drainage notch 1421.

[0058] See also Figure 3-Figure 4 and Fig.13 , wherein the box cover 14 and the side plate on the corresponding side are provided with a matching bite structure, wherein the bite structure is divided into a first bite structure corresponding to the short side plate and a second bite structure corresponding to the long side plate. Figure 4 The first engaging structure of the box cover corresponding to the short side panel is a eave 143 extending longitudinally along the box cover 14. The eave 143 overlaps the upper end of the corresponding side panel to form a cover. The eave 143 can limit the deformation and collapse of the box cover and limit the separation of the eave of the cover from the upper end of the side panel, thereby improving the supporting capacity of the box cover and the ability to resist deformation and depression after being subjected to force.

[0059] See also Fig.13 , the engaging structure corresponding to one side of the long side plate is an extension portion 144 of the edge of the box cover, which is formed by extending the edge of the box cover 14 toward the base, and the upper end of the long side plate 12 is provided with a butting portion 121, which is located at the upper end of the long side plate 12 and extends in the depth direction of the box body, and the upper end of the long side plate 12 is provided with a butting surface 122 that abuts against the bottom of the extension portion 144. When the box cover is closed, the extension portion 144 is located on the inner side of the butting portion 121, and the bottom of the extension portion 144 abuts against the butting surface 122, so that the extension portion 144 and the upper end of the long side plate 12 are engaged, and the box cover is supported on one side of the long side plate, thereby improving the supporting capacity of the box cover and the ability to resist deformation and depression after being subjected to force.

[0060] See also Fig.14 and Fig.15 The first engaging structure of the box cover corresponding to one side of the short side plate is a first groove 146 with a U-shaped cross section, and the upper end of the short side plate is provided with a second groove 132 matched with the first groove 146. The second groove 132 is also a structure with a U-shaped cross section. When the box cover 14 is closed, the first groove 146 and the second groove 132 are engaged with each other, thereby improving the supporting capacity of the box cover and the ability to resist deformation and depression after being subjected to force.

[0061] Similarly, the first engaging structure of the box cover corresponding to one side of the long side plate is also a third groove 147 with a U-shaped cross section, and the upper end of the long side plate is provided with a fourth groove 123 matched with the third groove 147. The fourth groove 123 is also a structure with a U-shaped cross section. When the box cover 14 is closed, the third groove 147 and the fourth groove 123 are engaged with each other, thereby improving the supporting capacity of the box cover and the ability to resist deformation and depression after being subjected to force.

[0062] See also Fig.16 and Fig.17 The box cover is provided with a limiting structure that cooperates with each other between the box cover and the side plate. When the box cover covers the opening of the container, the limiting part of the box cover is located inside the limiting part of the side plate, thereby realizing the bite between the box cover and the side plate. Through the bite of the circumference, the lid is supported and limited from multiple directions, thereby improving the supporting capacity of the box cover and the ability to resist deformation and depression after being subjected to force.

[0063] Specifically, see Fig.17 The box cover 14 has a first box cover stopper 148 extending from the edge corresponding to the short side plate 13. The first box cover stopper 148 is a T-shaped protrusion arranged on the edge of the box cover. The upper end surface of the short side plate 13 is provided with a short side plate stopper 133 matched with the first box cover stopper 148. The short side plate stopper 133 is a T-shaped groove. The box cover 14 has a second box cover stopper 149 recessed on the edge corresponding to the long side plate 12. The second box cover stopper 149 is a T-shaped groove. The upper end surface of the long side plate 12 is provided with a long side plate stopper 124 extending into the box and matched with the second box cover stopper 149. The long side plate stopper 124 is a T-shaped protrusion extending from the inner side of the long side plate. When the box cover 14 covers the opening of the container, the first box cover limiting portion 148 is snapped into the short side plate limiting portion 133, and the long side plate limiting portion 124 is snapped into the second box cover limiting portion 149, thereby forming a T-shaped bite connection between the box cover and the long side plate and the short side plate.

[0064] See also Figure 10-12 The box cover 14 is also provided with a cavity area and a non-cavity area. The cavity area is a closed cavity structure, which can strengthen the strength of the box cover 14. At least part of the cavity area surrounds at least part of the non-cavity area to form the reinforcement area. The cavity area can be formed by injection molding or welding. The side edge of the box cover where the lock is provided and the side edge of the box cover where the side plate is hingedly connected both have the cavity area. And the reinforcement area is provided in the sedimentation fluid collection area.

[0065] Specific as Fig.12 As shown, the cavity area can be as follows Fig.12In the structure shown, the cavity area includes a first cavity 1441, a second cavity 1442 and a third cavity 1443. The first cavity 1441 is extended along the length direction of the box cover, and is located at the side edge of the box cover 14 where the lock buckle 2 is provided, so as to strengthen the strength of the box cover on the lock buckle side. The second cavity 1442 is also extended along the length direction of the box cover, and is located at the side edge of the box cover 14 where the hinge is provided, so as to strengthen the strength of the box cover on the hinged side. The third cavity 1443 is extended along the width direction of the box cover, and is located between the first cavity 1441 and the second cavity 1442. The number of the third cavity 1443 can be designed according to the length of the box cover, so as to further strengthen the strength of the box cover, and prevent the box cover 13 from being deformed due to water accumulation and being unable to drain the accumulated water in time.

[0066] The area surrounded by the two third cavities 1443, the first cavity 1441, and the second cavity 1442 is a reinforcement area 1444, which can prevent the box cover 13 from being deformed due to water accumulation and unable to drain the water in time. The two third cavities 1443, the first cavity 1441, and the second cavity 1442 can be an integral structure that is interconnected, or they can be independent cavity parts that are not interconnected. In addition, the cavity area is not limited to Fig.12 The structure in, for example, the third cavity 1443 can be arranged tilted, or the third cavity 1443 is arc-shaped, and the first cavity 1441 and the second cavity 1442 are the same.

[0067] In addition, in other embodiments, the cavity area may be other structures, such as an annular structure, in which case the middle area surrounded by the annular structure is a reinforcement area, and the annular structure is an integral chamber, that is, an integral structure that is connected in one piece, and of course, a plurality of independent cavity parts may be spliced ​​together to form an annular cavity area.
