Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of transport containers, and in particular to a circulation box for air transport. Background Art

[0002] In the field of air transportation, lightweight recycling vehicles are an important means to improve transportation efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. Currently, the aviation recycling vehicles used in the market are mainly divided into two types: hard boxes and soft boxes. Hard boxes are usually made of metal or composite materials, with high structural strength and stability, but they are heavy and increase fuel consumption in air transportation. Soft boxes are generally made of cloth or other lightweight materials. Although they are light and easy to transport and store, they have poor structural stability, especially when transporting non-full boxes or loading expansive items, the upper surface is prone to concave or convex problems.

[0003] Specifically, the heavy weight of a hard case during use increases air transportation costs, especially in long-distance transportation. The increase in weight directly affects the fuel consumption of the aircraft, which in turn increases transportation costs and the burden on the environment. In addition, due to the high rigidity of the material, the hard case is easily deformed or damaged when subjected to external impact, which affects the reusability and economy of the case.

For the sake of brevity and / or clarity, the techniques, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant fields may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification.

[0031] The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the specification include plural forms unless clearly indicated. The terms "include", "comprise" and "contain" used in the specification indicate the presence of the claimed features, but do not exclude the presence of one or more other features. The term "and / or" used in the specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items. Example

[0032] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a circulation box for air transport, which has a foldable box body 1. The box body 1 is a cubic rectangle in the unfolded state, and has a foldable bottom surface 101, a front surface 102, a back surface 103, two foldable side surfaces 104 and a top surface 105. An openable opening 106 is provided on the top surface 105, through which a user takes in and out items. The opening 105 is opened and closed by a zipper, which can conveniently and quickly take in and out items, while providing a certain degree of sealing.

[0033] In this embodiment, the box body 1 is composed of a flexible outer cover 2 and a support assembly 3 attached to the flexible outer cover 2. The flexible outer cover 2 is made of Oxford cloth or nylon cloth, which has good wear resistance and tear resistance, and can maintain good appearance and function during multiple uses.

[0034] In this embodiment, the inner support assembly 3 includes a panel 301 and a side panel 302 , wherein the two panels 301 cooperate with the outer cover 2 to form the front 102 and the back 103 of the box body, and the side panels 302 cooperate with the outer cover 2 to form two foldable sides 104 of the box body 1 .

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a foldable cover plate 303 is extended from the upper edges of the two panels 301 of the box body 1. The cover plate 303 is connected to the panel 301 via a fold line, so that the cover plate 303 can be folded relative to the panel 301.

[0036] The width of the cover plate 303 is smaller than the width of the box body 1 and larger than 1 / 2 of the width of the box body 1, so that the two cover plates 303 partially overlap when matched, and a relatively matched adhesive member 304 is provided in the overlapping area to achieve a sealing effect.

[0037] As a preferred solution, the adhesive member 304 is made of high-quality Velcro, and the hook side and the fleece side are fixed to the cover plate 303 by sewing or hot-melt technology to ensure that they can still be firmly bonded during multiple opening and closing processes.

[0038] In this embodiment, the panel 301 and the side panels 302 can be made of hollow plastic sheets or foam plastic sheets as needed.

[0039] In actual selection, hollow plastic boards are light in weight and have certain strength, which are suitable for air transportation that needs to reduce the weight; foam plastic boards have good supporting properties and can provide sufficient rigidity and stability while reducing the weight of the box.

[0040] It is understandable that although traditional cartons are low in cost, they are heavy. Especially when strength needs to be enhanced, thicker paperboard must be used, which increases the overall weight. Taking a standard carton as an example, its weight is usually around 1.5 kg, while the overall weight of the recycling box made of hollow plastic sheets used in the present invention is about 0.8 kg, and the overall weight of the recycling box made of foam plastic sheets is about 0.6 kg, which is significantly lower than the weight of traditional cartons. These materials not only have good support performance and durability, but also greatly reduce the weight of the box body and improve transportation efficiency.

[0041] In some preferred solutions of practical application, a rib 305 is installed on at least one edge of the panel 301 and the side panel 302. The rib 305 is made of high-strength plastic, which can provide sufficient support while maintaining the lightness of the box to enhance the rigidity and stability of the box 1.

[0042] In some specific preferred solutions, two side panels 302 are provided on the sides of the box body 1, and the two side panels 302 are symmetrical and spaced apart to provide better support and stability and meet folding requirements.

[0043] In other embodiments, one side panel 302 is used (not shown in the structural diagram), but the side panel 302 has a vertical fold line, which divides the side panel 302 into two parts. The two parts can be folded around each other based on the fold line, thereby making the box body 1 more convenient and compact when folded.

[0044] In some preferred solutions, in specific application scenarios, the air transport recycling box is first taken out from the storage area by the staff in the air cargo terminal. Since the box body 1 has a foldable structure, it can save a lot of storage space when not in use. Before use, the staff unfolds the recycling box to form a cubic rectangle.

[0045] In the unfolded state, the staff can conveniently put various articles into the box 1 through the opening 106 of the top surface 105. After the articles are placed, the staff closes the cover 303, and then forms an inner fastening layer through the adhesive 304 on the two cover plates 303, and then seals the opening 106. At this point, the box 1 is ready for air cargo transportation via a conveyor belt or other means.

[0046] After arriving at the destination, the staff can quickly open the opening 106 of the box 1 and take out the items. Since the design of the box 1 takes into account easy opening and sealing, the whole process is very fast and reduces the ground operation time. After completing the transportation task, the box 1 can be folded again and put back into the storage area for next use. This recycling method not only saves space and cost, but also conforms to the concept of environmental protection and reduces the waste of disposable packaging materials.

[0047] Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure in essence. Therefore, all changes and modifications are included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure as defined by the claims. The present disclosure is defined by the appended claims, and the equivalents of these claims are also included.
