[0035] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model.

[0036] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", "down", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention rather than requiring that the present invention must be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. The terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", and "down" used in the description of the present invention refer to the directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inside" and "outside" refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0037] The specific implementation of the utility model provides a stackable logistics device for automobile wheel covers, which is formed by stacking a number of device bodies in the longitudinal direction. The device body is made of polystyrene foam (Expanded Polystyrene, EPS) in one piece. EPS is a light polymer, which is made of polystyrene resin with a foaming agent added, and heated to soften it, generating gas to form a rigid closed-cell foam plastic with low water absorption, good heat preservation, light weight and high mechanical strength. Since the device body is made in one piece, it has the advantages of compact structure, light weight and high structural strength.

[0038] like Figure 7-9 The figures shown are respectively the inner structure diagram, the outer structure diagram, and the front view of the automobile wheel cover in the embodiment of the utility model. The automobile wheel cover 3 includes a wheel cover body 31 which is convex to the inner side and has an arc surface. The middle area of ​​the wheel cover body 31 convexly forms a shock absorber mounting plate 33 with an arc surface. The outer side of the wheel cover body 31 extends forward to form a relatively straight front connecting plate 32. The edge of the front connecting plate 32 is provided with a flange 34 extending to the inner side thereof. It can be seen that the automobile wheel cover 3 is an irregular shaped surface structure as a whole. Even if it is made by forging and pressing technology, the overall structural strength is still very limited. Fig. 9 Taking the figure shown as an example, the automobile wheel cover 3 cannot be subjected to force in the front, rear, upper and lower directions, and the flange 34 cannot be subjected to force in the front, rear, left and right directions. No matter what posture is adopted when placed on a plane, only a small part of the structure is in contact with the plane and bears the load, and deformation is easily generated when placed for a long time. In the figure, the left side is the inner side of the automobile wheel cover 3, and the right side is the outer side of the automobile wheel cover 3.

[0039] In view of the above structural characteristics of the automobile wheel cover 3, the present utility model adopts targeted improvement measures on the structural appearance of the device body. Figure 1-6As shown, they are respectively the top stereogram, top view, bottom stereogram, bottom view, front view and left view of the apparatus body in the embodiment of the utility model. The top surface 1 of the apparatus body is recessed inward to form a cavity adapted to the inner side of the automobile wheel cover 3. The inner side of the automobile wheel cover 3 is placed downward in the cavity. The cavity is in full contact with the inner side of the automobile wheel cover 3 and bears the force evenly, thereby avoiding the problem of easy deformation under long-term placement. Since the inner side of the automobile wheel cover 3 is a blunt surface with a concave-convex structure, the cavity design also plays a lateral limit role for the automobile wheel cover 3, thereby avoiding the sharp edge of the automobile wheel cover 3 directly contacting the apparatus body and causing damage to it. More specifically, the cavity is provided with a wheel cover body support surface 13 and a front connecting plate support surface 15 and a shock absorber mounting plate support surface 14 connected thereto, respectively adapted to the inner side of the wheel cover body 31, the front connecting plate 32 and the shock absorber mounting plate 33, thereby playing a role of full contact and balanced support for the automobile wheel cover 3. The supporting surfaces are, from low to high, the wheel arch body supporting surface 13, the shock absorber mounting plate supporting surface 14, and the front connecting plate supporting surface 15.

[0040] In order to solve the problem that the flange 34 cannot withstand the contact force of the inner side, the front connecting plate support surface 15 is recessed inward to form a hollow groove 18 that matches the flange 34. The flange 34 is accommodated in the hollow groove 18 without contacting the device body, thereby avoiding damage due to pressure. The wheel cover body support surface 13 and the shock absorber mounting plate support surface 14 are recessed inward to form a hollow opening 151, which saves materials and reduces weight without affecting the structural strength. At the same time, it can also avoid the negative pressure between the automobile wheel cover 3 and the cavity that makes it impossible to remove it smoothly. The operator can also push the automobile wheel cover 3 out of the cavity from bottom to top through the hollow opening 151, reducing the difficulty of removing the automobile wheel cover 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, four cavities are provided on the top surface 1 of each utensil body. Figure 2 Taking the figure shown as an example, the two cavities on the left constitute one cavity group, and the two cavities on the right constitute another cavity group. The two cavities in each cavity group are centrally symmetrically distributed, with the purpose of making full use of the limited lateral space and improving the utilization rate of the packaging space. Of course, only one cavity group can be set on the top surface 1 of the main body as needed, or more than three cavity groups can be set. In order to avoid the two automobile wheel covers 3 accommodated in the cavity group from sliding, a raised first spacer 16 is formed between the two cavities, which plays an auxiliary limiting role for the automobile wheel cover 3 in the cavity, and can effectively avoid the automobile wheel cover 3 from being damaged due to sliding.

[0042] As a preferred solution, a raised second spacer 17 is formed between adjacent cavity groups, and the top surfaces of the first spacer 16 and the second spacer 17 are at the same height as the top surface 1 of the main body. The significance of this is that, firstly, the first spacer 16 and the second spacer 17 play a role in hindering and limiting the displacement of the accommodated automobile wheel cover 3. Secondly, when multiple device bodies are stacked, the bottom surface 2 of the upper device body is supported on the top surface 1 of the lower device body. Since the first spacer 16 between adjacent cavities and the second spacer 17 between adjacent cavity groups are at the same height as the top surface 1 of the main body, they can also play a supporting role for the bottom surface 2 of the upper device body, so that the device body can be evenly supported at different lateral positions, avoiding the collapse of the middle area of ​​the device body due to lack of support when bearing the automobile wheel cover 3.

[0043] like Figure 10-13 As shown, the top stereogram, top view, bottom stereogram, and bottom view of the device body receiving the automobile wheel cover are shown. As can be seen from the figure, the automobile wheel cover 3 is received in the cavity via the wheel cover body support surface 13, the shock absorber mounting plate support surface 14, and the front connecting plate support surface 15. Its highest position does not exceed the top surface 1 of the body, and it is laterally limited by the various support surfaces of the cavity. Fig.11 Taking the leftmost cavity as an example, the wheel cover body support surface 13, the shock absorber mounting plate support surface 14, and the front connecting plate support surface 15 are distributed in sequence from right to left. Since the front connecting plate support surface 15 is the highest, the automobile wheel cover 3 cannot move to the left under any circumstances. At the same time, it is not easy to move to the right due to the limitation of the concave and convex structure on the inner side of the automobile wheel cover 3; even if it moves to the right, its moving inertia is very limited, and there is an obstacle of the first spacer 16, so it is difficult to cause damage to the first spacer 16.

[0044] More specifically, the top surface 1 of the main body is provided with a plurality of outwardly protruding limiting columns 12, and the bottom surface 2 of the main body is recessed inwardly to form limiting grooves that match the limiting columns 12. When stacked, the limiting columns 12 of the lower layer of the appliance body are just embedded in the limiting grooves of the upper layer of the appliance body, thereby realizing the lateral limitation between the upper and lower adjacent appliance bodies. As a preferred solution, the bottom surface 2 of the main body is provided with a plurality of inwardly recessed material reduction grooves 22, which play a role in saving materials and reducing weight; a supporting partition 23 is formed between adjacent material reduction grooves 22, which plays a role in strengthening the structural strength of the appliance body; the aforementioned limiting groove is formed at the inner edge of the material reduction groove 22, which can also play a limiting role, and at the same time is conducive to simplifying the product structure design and improving the yield rate.

[0045] To ensure that the device body can be evenly stressed at different lateral positions, the bottom surface of the support partition 23 is at the same height as the bottom surface 2 of the device body, that is, the upper device body can be supported on the top surface 1 of the lower device body through its support partition 23.

[0046] In order to further improve the limiting effect, the present embodiment also takes the following measures: First, a boss 11 protruding outward is provided on the edge of the top surface 1 of the body, and a concave platform 21 matching the boss 11 is formed on the edge of the bottom surface 2 of the body. When stacked, the boss 11 of the lower utensil body is just embedded in the concave platform 21 of the upper utensil body. Since the boss 11 and the concave platform 21 are both square ring structures, the contact area between each other is large, so the limiting effect is more significant. Secondly, a convex block protruding outward is provided on the top surface of the second spacer 17, and a second spacer limiting groove 24 matching the convex block is formed on the bottom surface of the supporting partition 23. When stacked, the convex block of the lower utensil body is just embedded in the second spacer limiting groove 24 of the upper utensil body, thereby playing a role of lateral limiting in the middle area of ​​the utensil body, so that the adjacent utensil bodies are both force-limited at the edge and the middle area, avoiding damage to the utensil body due to excessive local force.

[0047] In order to facilitate the operator to lift the tool body smoothly, this embodiment also adopts a hand-lifting groove design, including a first hand-lifting groove 25 formed by the inward depression of the side of the tool body and not connected to the top surface 1 of the tool body, and a second hand-lifting groove 26 formed by the inward depression of the bottom surface 2 of the tool body and connected to the side of the tool body and the material reduction groove 22. The first hand-lifting groove 25 and the second hand-lifting groove 26 are both at least two and symmetrically distributed in the horizontal direction. The operator can easily lift the tool body for transportation through the above hand-lifting grooves. The second hand-lifting groove 26 can also be set on the top surface 1 of the tool body. In this case, the second hand-lifting groove 26 is connected to the side of the tool body and the cavity at the same time, and plays the same role as the second hand-lifting groove 26 set on the bottom surface 2 of the tool body.

[0048] The main body top surface 1 is also provided with two inwardly recessed storage grooves 19 for placing the random accessories of the automobile wheel cover 3, thereby avoiding the problem of loss and mismatch caused by the random accessories being individually packaged, stored and transported.

[0049] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
