Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of storage containers, in particular to a material box. Background Art
[0002] In the current manufacturing environment, with the increasing variety of products and the complexity of production processes, material management has become a challenge that cannot be ignored. Especially in industries that require frequent turnover and delicate processing, such as precision electronics and automotive parts manufacturing, efficient storage and circulation of materials are essential to maintaining the smooth operation of the production line. However, existing material turnover solutions often fail to meet diversified needs, leading to a series of problems.
[0003] First, the trend of product diversification on the site has led to a wide variety of turnover material boxes, which not only easily causes confusion and reduces work efficiency, but also often occupies a lot of valuable space, violates the elements of sorting and reorganization in the 5S management principle, and affects the cleanliness and orderliness of the working environment. The 5S plan aims to improve production efficiency and safety through standardized on-site management, but the confusion and disorder of traditional material containers has undoubtedly become an obstacle to achieving this goal.
[0004] Secondly, the existing turnover method is not always suitable for the special needs of the same product in different processing flows. For example, standard material boxes may be required in some stages, while blister trays may be used to protect the product from damage in other processing steps. This inconsistency increases the complexity of operations and reduces the continuity of the process. The existing blister tray transportation method also has safety hazards. The product is easy to jump out of the tray during transportation, which may not only cause product damage, but also pose a risk of injury to operators.
[0005] In addition, for workpieces that need to be cleaned or surface treated, the existing turnover boxes and blister trays are often not user-friendly in actual operation. The inconvenience of workers taking out or putting in materials in these links directly affects work efficiency, prolongs the processing cycle, and sometimes even damages the product surface due to improper operation, reducing product quality.
[0006] In view of the above problems, the market urgently needs a new material box design that can adapt to various material sizes and shapes, ensure safe and efficient turnover, and facilitate flexible use in various processing links. This design should not only solve the existing problems of storage chaos, space waste and inconvenient operation, but also improve overall production efficiency and operation safety, in line with the modern manufacturing industry's pursuit of lean management and continuous improvement.

[0029] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.
[0031] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present invention.
[0032] In order to solve the problem that the material boxes in the prior art cannot be universal, different material receiving boxes need to be used when placing different annular materials on site, which leads to confusion in site management.
[0033] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a material box for placing an annular material 3, the material box includes a containing cavity 1, an opening 12 connected to the containing cavity and a support unit 2, the material box has a bottom wall 11 arranged relative to the opening 12, the support unit 2 includes a plurality of support columns 21 arranged in an array on the inner side of the bottom wall, the annular material 3 is sleeved on the support columns 21, the support columns 21 extend in a direction away from the bottom wall 11 and are formed with at least two step sections, wherein the cross-sectional area of the step section close to the bottom wall is greater than the cross-sectional area of the step section away from the bottom wall. That is, the step section close to the bottom wall is thicker than the step section away from the bottom wall.
[0034] With such arrangement, annular materials with different inner diameters can be respectively sleeved on different step sections, so that one support column 21 can adapt to annular materials with different specifications.
[0035] Specifically, the annular material with a smaller inner diameter can be sleeved on the step section away from the bottom wall 11, while the annular material with a larger inner diameter can be sleeved on the step section close to the bottom wall. In this embodiment, the number of the step sections can be set to two or more.
[0036] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of each step section gradually decreases in a direction away from the bottom wall. Figure 2-4 As shown in the figure, the area of S1 is smaller than the area of S2. Such an arrangement is more conducive to the annular materials 3 with different inner diameters being sleeved on the corresponding step sections with different cross-sectional areas.
[0037] Further, refer to Figure 5 As shown in the example, each of the step sections has a plurality of protrusions on the side wall protruding toward the outside of the step section, and the protrusions extend from a side of the side wall close to the bottom wall to a side of the side wall away from the bottom wall. Figure 5The protrusions 2111 and 2121 in the support column 21 are arranged in this way, so that the plurality of protrusions can better abut against the inner wall of the annular material 3, so that the support column 21 can better support the annular material 3.
[0038] Optionally, the plurality of protrusions include two pairs of protrusions, the two protrusions in each pair of protrusions are arranged opposite to each other, and a plane where the two protrusions in one pair of protrusions are located is perpendicular to a plane where the two protrusions in another pair of protrusions are located.
[0039] Still reference Figure 5 As shown in , the planes where the two pairs of protrusions are located are substantially perpendicular to each other, and their cross-sections are substantially in the shape of a cross. Such an arrangement allows the support column 21 to more stably support the annular material 3.
[0040] Further, the distal end surface of the protrusion relative to the central axis of the step section is located on the side wall of a cone. Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 2 , the two step sections 211 and 212 respectively have a plurality of protrusions.
[0041] Specifically, the protrusion on the step section 211 is a protrusion 2111, and the protrusion 2111 has a distal end face 2112 relative to the central axis of the step section 211, and a plurality of the distal end faces 2112 are located on the side wall of a cone. In this way, the distal end face 2112 is conducive to the support column being supported on the inner wall of the annular material 3, so that the annular material 3 located on the step section 211 has better stability.
[0042] Correspondingly, the protrusion on the step section 212 is a protrusion 2121. The protrusion 2121 has a distal end face 2122 relative to the central axis of the step section 211, and a plurality of the distal end faces 2122 are located on the side wall of a cone. Such a configuration is also to enable the distal end face 2122 to better adhere to the inner wall of the annular material 3 located on the stage 212 when supporting the annular material 3 different from the step section 211, so that the annular material 3 has better stability on the step section 212.
[0043] Next reference Figure 3 For the best display of the bottom wall 11, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the direction of the x-axis represents the lateral direction of the bottom wall 11, and the direction of the y-axis represents the longitudinal direction of the bottom wall 11.
[0044] In this embodiment, preferably, any two adjacent support columns 21 are spaced equally in the lateral direction of the bottom wall 11. Figure 3As shown in , the distance between any two adjacent support columns 21 in the lateral direction of the bottom wall 11 is d1. This arrangement can ensure that the annular materials 3 on the support columns 21 have sufficient lateral distance to avoid collision between the two annular materials 3 due to insufficient space and thus damage.
[0045] Further, still refer to Figure 3 As shown, the distance between any two adjacent support columns 21 in the longitudinal direction of the bottom wall 11 is equal. Figure 3 As shown in , the distance between any two adjacent support columns 21 in the horizontal direction of the bottom wall 11 is d2. Such a configuration can ensure that the annular materials on the support columns 21 have sufficient distance in the longitudinal direction, thereby preventing the two annular materials 3 from colliding due to insufficient space and being damaged.
[0046] Further, refer to Figure 3 As shown, a hollow hole 111 is provided on the bottom wall 11 between any two adjacent support columns 21. The hollow hole 111 can discharge foreign matter in the material box in time, which helps to keep the inside of the material box clean.
[0047] Further, return to Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of grid holes 112 are provided on the side wall of the material box along the circumferential direction. The provision of the grid holes 112 can save materials for making the material box on the one hand, and increase the air permeability inside the material box on the other hand, which is beneficial for keeping the annular material 3 in the material box dry.
[0048] Then return to Figure 1 As best shown, the material box includes two side walls arranged opposite to each other, and handle portions 113 are symmetrically arranged on the two side walls. In this embodiment, the handle portions 113 are elongated openings arranged on the side walls. The user can insert both hands into the two elongated openings respectively, and then lift the material box.
[0049] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0050] The support column 21 extends in a direction away from the bottom wall 11 and forms at least two step sections, wherein the cross-sectional area of the step section close to the bottom wall is larger than the cross-sectional area of the step section away from the bottom wall. Therefore, annular materials with different inner diameters can be respectively mounted on different step sections, so that one support column 21 can adapt to annular materials of different specifications.
