Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent relates to the field of equipment packaging technology, specifically to a wheeled equipment packaging box and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of electronic technology, system-level applications are increasing, leading to a rise in the use of wheeled cabinets that house various devices within these systems. However, wheeled cabinets are large and heavy, and during transport, the casters directly contact the base plate, bearing the weight of the equipment. Frequent bumps during transport can easily damage the casters. Existing packaging solutions for wheeled equipment generally fall into two categories: one is wooden crates. To ensure the crates are sturdy, they are typically sealed on five sides, with the last side sealed after the cabinet is installed. This makes it impossible to use forklifts or other machinery for loading; it usually requires multiple people to manually lift and unload the crates, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and unsafe. Furthermore, loading and unloading typically requires the assistance of forklifts. Additionally, wooden crates are expensive, heavy, and inconvenient to use. The second method is cardboard boxes and wooden pallets, but this generally does not protect the casters. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The specific implementation of a wheeled equipment packaging box and its usage method provided by the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a wheeled equipment packaging box is mainly used for packaging and transporting wheeled equipment. Specifically, it includes a box lid 1, box body side walls 2 formed by foldable panels, and a pallet 3.

[0035] Preferably, the lid 1 is fastened to the top of the side wall 2 of the box; the side wall 2 of the box is placed on the top of the pallet 3; the lid 1, the side wall 2 of the box, and the pallet 3 are fixed together by the packing straps 4.

[0036] To facilitate installation and disassembly, the foldable enclosure provided by this invention has an open plate structure. The free ends on the left and right sides are connected by buckles to close the side wall 2 of the enclosure, which will not affect the movement and fixation of the equipment and is more flexible.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the tray 3 includes a base plate, and two wooden blocks 301 are arranged parallel to each other along the length of the base plate. Each wooden block 301 has a shaped guide rail 302 on the side away from the other wooden block 301. Preferably, the base plate is provided with a storage groove 303 on the left and right sides of the shaped guide rail 302, which is for placing the casters of wheeled equipment and has a radial dimension slightly smaller than the diameter of the casters. During transportation, the casters of the wheeled equipment are placed in the storage groove 303, which avoids the problem of the casters being easily damaged due to road bumps during transportation.

[0038] Preferably, each block of wood 301 is provided with trapezoidal fixing plates 3011 on the top left and right sides;

[0039] To facilitate the movement of wheeled equipment onto the pallet, a ramp 304 is hinged to one side of the base plate; preferably, the ramp has a downward tilt angle of 13.4°, providing a gentle slope and good stability; the ramp has an upward tilt angle of 90°, making it easy to store after use without affecting packaging and transportation.

[0040] It is worth noting that the irregularly shaped guide rail 302 has a chamfer on the side near the slope plate 304, forming a cut surface. The size of the cut surface is the same as the size of the slope on one side of the trapezoidal fixing plate 3011, which has an isosceles trapezoidal cross-section. In use, one side of the trapezoidal fixing plate 3011 is embedded into the chamfer, at which point the slope on one side of the trapezoidal fixing plate 3011 and the cut surface are completely fitted together. Figure 4 As shown; in addition, the bottom cross-sectional dimension of the trapezoidal fixing plate 3011 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the storage groove 303, so that the trapezoidal fixing plate 3011 can be used to temporarily cover the storage groove 303, so that the ramp 304 and the irregular guide rail 302 are tightly connected to ensure the smooth movement of the wheeled equipment. On the other hand, after the wheeled equipment moves to the designated position, the trapezoidal fixing plate 3011 acts as a shim to fix the bottom plate of the wheeled equipment to the pad 301, thereby fixing the wheeled equipment to the pallet 3 and ensuring that the equipment will not move back and forth or be bumped during transportation.

[0041] More preferably, in order to facilitate the auxiliary handling of mechanical equipment such as forklifts, the bottom of the base plate of the pallet 3 is provided with a plurality of base frames 305 for forklifts to insert and drag.

[0042] The top left and right sides of the pad 301 are provided with a number of first bolt connection holes; the trapezoidal fixing plate 3011 is provided with a number of second bolt connection holes corresponding to the positions of the first bolt connection holes; when the packaging box is not in use, it is convenient to bolt the trapezoidal fixing plate 3011 onto the pad 301 for storage; when the packaging box is in use, it is convenient to fix the bottom plate of the wheeled equipment to the pad 301.

[0043] To meet the requirements of load-bearing capacity while reducing costs and overall weight, the lid 1 and the side wall 2 of the box are made of paper material; the tray 3 is made of wood material.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown in (a)-5(e), the specific method of using the present invention includes the following steps:

[0045] S1. Flip the ramp outwards and downwards so that one of its free ends rests on the ground;

[0046] S2. Remove the four trapezoidal fixing plates from the pad and place two of them at the corner of the irregular guide rail near the slope plate, temporarily covering the two storage slots near the corner. At this time, the slope of one side of the trapezoidal fixing plate is completely in contact with the cut surface.

[0047] S3. Push the wheeled equipment onto the tray in sequence along the ramp, trapezoidal fixing plate and irregular guide rail; after the two casters at the front of the wheeled equipment in the direction of advancement have passed smoothly through the trapezoidal fixing plate covering the two storage slots near the chamfered end, remove the trapezoidal fixing plate and continue to push the wheeled equipment until the four casters at the bottom of the wheeled equipment fall into the corresponding four storage slots in sequence.

[0048] S4. Install the four trapezoidal fixing plates into the through holes on the bottom plate of the wheeled equipment corresponding to the positions of the pads, and then thread them through the second bolt connection holes of the trapezoidal fixing plates and the through holes of the bottom plate in sequence, and finally thread them into the first bolt connection holes on the top of the pads to complete the fixing of the wheeled equipment to the pallet.

[0049] S5. Place padding plates around the wheeled equipment and wrap them with protective film to secure them, then raise the ramps upwards;

[0050] S6. Enclose the wheeled equipment and ramp covered with padding and protective film by the foldable enclosure panel, and fasten the buckles on the free ends of the left and right sides of the foldable enclosure panel to complete the closure of the side wall of the enclosure.

[0051] S7. Cover the box with the lid and secure the lid, side walls of the box, and pallet with packing straps.

[0052] This invention uses a combination of cardboard boxes and wooden pallets for packaging, which has a simple and reasonable structure, is easy to load and unload, avoids manual lifting in and out, and effectively solves the problem of easy damage to casters caused by road bumps during transportation; it reduces costs, lightens the overall weight, and is more convenient for assisted handling by forklifts and other mechanical equipment.
