Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of transport containers, and in particular to an aviation circulation box. Background Art
[0002] Airline recycling boxes are boxes specially used for air transportation, mainly used for packaging, classification and management of products. They can hold one or more products, and after being transported to the destination, the products can be taken out and the boxes can be brought back for further recycling. This recycling method not only reduces the waste of disposable packaging materials, but also makes air transportation more efficient and economical.
[0003] With the rapid development of the air transport industry, the performance requirements for air circulation boxes are constantly increasing. In order to meet these requirements, air circulation boxes in the prior art have gradually transitioned from traditional metal materials to corrugated plastic boards. Corrugated plastic boards are double-layer or multi-layer structures containing corrugated partitions, making the box lighter and more flexible while maintaining structural strength. However, existing air circulation boxes still have many shortcomings, which restrict their further application and development in the air transport industry.
[0004] Specifically, although the current aviation recycling boxes have achieved a certain degree of lightness in terms of materials, the weight of a box of about 50 cm in length and width is still about 1.7 kg. Due to the high cost of air transportation, the excessive weight of the recycling box itself directly leads to an increase in transportation costs, limiting its economic benefits in air transportation. Airlines need to reduce the total weight of transportation vehicles as much as possible to reduce fuel consumption. Therefore, excessive weight of the recycling box will significantly increase costs.
[0005] At the same time, most air recycling boxes on the market currently adopt a foldable design to reduce the volume when the empty boxes are returned. However, due to the lack of effective fixing measures in the folding design, these boxes are easy to unfold during transportation after being folded, affecting the stacking and placement of the boxes, resulting in instability and space waste during transportation. For example, when the empty boxes are returned, multiple boxes are stacked together for transportation. If the boxes in the folded state are not firmly fixed, they are easy to slide or unfold during transportation, resulting in unnecessary confusion and reduced transportation efficiency.
[0006] In addition, the cloth bag and the frame plate of the existing aviation circulation box are both connected by a non-detachable fixed connection. This structure makes the box less flexible when in use, especially when part of the structure is damaged, it is impossible to replace parts individually, and the whole box must be replaced, which not only increases the cost of repair and replacement, but also causes a waste of resources. For example, the cloth bag or the frame plate of the box may be damaged due to wear or impact. If the damaged parts cannot be disassembled and replaced individually, the whole box can only be replaced, which not only wastes materials but also increases the cost of use.
[0007] In summary, developing an aviation circulation box that is lightweight, easy to fold and fix, and easy to maintain has important significance and value. Summary of the invention

[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses an exemplary structure for achieving the technical purpose of this application, specifically a lightweight and modular aviation circulation box to solve the problems of excessive weight, instability after folding, and high maintenance cost in the prior art. The design aims to improve the economy, stability and environmental protection of air transportation.
[0048] In this embodiment, the aviation circulation box is a foldable box body 1, which is a cubic rectangle in the unfolded state, providing a stable space for loading and transporting goods. The cubic rectangle structure enables the box body to be stably stacked during transportation, thereby improving transportation efficiency and space utilization.
[0049] The box body 1 has a top surface 4, a bottom surface 5, a front surface 6, a back surface 7 and two side surfaces 8. The bottom surface 5 and the top surface 4 are soft resting surfaces, and the two side surfaces 8 are foldable surfaces.
[0050] It can be understood that the top surface 4 and the bottom surface 5 are soft surfaces, which are flexible and easy to fold and unfold.
[0051] A binding assembly is provided on the inner bottom surface of the box body 1, and the binding assembly consists of a first strap 18 and a second strap 19. One end of the first strap 18 and the second strap 19 are fixedly sewn to the inner bottom surface of the box body, and the other end is relatively matched, and buckles 20 are provided on the relatively matched ends. The two buckles 20 can be combined and separated. The binding assembly can be used to bundle the items in the box body, and the items can be fixed and the volume can be compressed.
[0052] In terms of structural composition, the box 1 includes an outer covering layer 2 and an inner supporting assembly 3, wherein the outer covering layer 2 is the outer protective layer of the aviation circulation box, which constitutes the internal space when unfolded. In terms of material, the outer covering layer 2 is made of high-strength waterproof nylon cloth, which has good wear resistance and can withstand friction and wear during multiple uses and transportation. At the same time, it has good waterproof properties, which can ensure that the internal goods of the box are not damp in severe weather conditions. In addition, this material also has good UV protection, which can prevent material aging caused by long-term exposure to sunlight. Finally, the material is lightweight, which can reduce the overall weight of the box and improve transportation economy.
[0053] When the outer covering layer 2 is in a three-dimensional state supported by the inner supporting assembly 3, the soft surface of the top surface 4 and the bottom surface 5 of the box body 1 is formed by utilizing the soft characteristics of the material itself, and an opening that can be opened and closed is provided on the area of the outer covering layer 2 forming the top surface 4. The opening and closing of the opening is controlled by a zipper. A bonding tape 9 is also provided on the area of the outer covering layer 2 forming the top surface 4, which is used to fix the box body 1 with the bonding area 10 of the bottom surface 5 when the box body 1 is folded.
[0054] It should be understood that the positions of the various surfaces of the outer covering layer 2 described below are actually consistent with the positions of the various surfaces of the box body 1 .
[0055] In some embodiments, a zipper is arranged along the edge of the top surface, which can fully open the top surface to facilitate loading and unloading of goods.
[0056] As a further improvement, the zip closure is designed with a protective strip to ensure complete water and dust resistance.
[0057] As a further optimization, in order to better meet the use requirements of air transportation, the outer cover layer 2 is embedded with an RFID chip 11 for efficiently recording and reading the information of the items in the box.
[0058] The RFID chip 11 realizes automatic identification and tracking through wireless radio frequency technology, and can record detailed information of items, including name, quantity, weight, and storage time.
[0059] It should be understood that the RFID chip 11 is usually installed on the front, top or side of the outer cover 2, and is fixed by embedded installation or a protective cover such as plastic or rubber to ensure that it is not easily damaged during transportation and can stably transmit signals. When the RFID reader sends out a radio frequency signal, the RFID chip is activated and transmits data. After the reader receives and decodes the information, it transmits it to the logistics management system to achieve efficient and accurate logistics operations. RFID chips have the advantages of efficient reading, precise tracking and accurate data, strong durability, and adaptability to various transportation environments, which significantly improves the use value and economic benefits of aviation circulation boxes.
[0060] In this embodiment, the inner support assembly 3 is an important structural part of the air circulation box, which is responsible for providing the main support and stability of the box. It is composed of a panel and a side panel, and through modular design and detachable connection, it achieves the goals of light weight, convenient maintenance and efficient transportation.
[0061] In terms of specific structure, the inner support assembly 3 is composed of two parts, namely a panel 12 and a side panel 13. The two panels 12 are respectively located on the front side 6 and the back side 7 of the box body 1 in the unfolded state.
[0062] In some embodiments, the panel 12 or the side panel 13 is detachably connected to the outer cover layer 2 through the adhesive layer 17, and the panel 12 or the side panel 13 provides the main structural support to ensure the stability and strength of the box body 1 in the unfolded state. In the above structure, the adhesive layer 17 is actually Velcro, with one hook surface or a fleece surface fixed to the panel 12 and the side panel 13, and the other surface opposite to the hook surface or the fleece surface fixed to the corresponding position of the outer cover layer 2.
[0063] It should be understood that in actual application, the Velcro design allows the panel to be quickly disassembled and assembled, improving maintenance efficiency. Velcro has certain advantages in terms of ease of operation and installation cost, and is the preferred choice for implementation.
[0064] In other embodiments, the panel 12 or the side panel 13 is connected and matched via a socket preset on the outer covering layer 2 , that is, the panel 12 or the side panel 13 is inserted into the socket to connect and fix the panel 12 or the side panel 13 to the outer covering layer 2 .
[0065] In some other embodiments, the panel 12 or the side panel 13 and the outer covering layer 2 are detachably connected by buttons, and the specific buttons are snap buttons. The female snap button or the male snap button is fixedly installed on the panel 12 or the side panel 13, and the male snap button or the female snap button corresponding to the panel 12 or the side panel 13 is fixed at the corresponding position of the outer covering layer 2. When connecting, the connection is achieved by fastening the buttons. When separating, the buttons are operated in reverse to separate the male snap button and the female snap button.
[0066] In this embodiment, the side panels 13 and the panel 12 are located at different positions. They not only need to meet the support function but also meet the structural deformation requirements when the box body 1 is folded. For this reason, the two side panels 12 are respectively located on the two side surfaces 8 of the box body 1, and adopt a folding design, consisting of two interconnected plate bodies 14. The two plate bodies 14 are connected by a sheet connector 15 (such as adhesive tape) and can be folded in half. The sheet connector 15 is flexible and durable, ensuring that the side panels 13 are not easily damaged during multiple folding and unfolding processes.
[0067] In terms of material composition, the panel 12 and the plate body 14 of the side plate 13 are polystyrene foam plates, which are light, have good strength, and have a certain impact resistance. Compared with plastic plates, they are lighter and more in line with actual use needs.
[0068] Since the panel 12 and the side panel 13 are made of foamed board, the structural strength is lower than that of the plastic board. In order to compensate for the above-mentioned shortcomings, a reinforcing rod 16 is designed in the structure. The reinforcing rod 16 is installed on the side of the panel 12 and the side panel 13, and the cross-section is U-shaped.
[0069] It can be understood that the height of the reinforcing rod 14 is adapted to the height of the box body 1 , so as to improve the structural stability of the box body 1 after it is unfolded and ensure that the box body 1 can withstand the stacking pressure during transportation.
[0070] Based on the above structure, it can be understood that when this embodiment is implemented, the box body 1 has a folded state and an unfolded state. In the folded state, the side panels 13 of the two side surfaces 8 of the box body 1 in the aviation circulation box can be folded inwards due to their foldable structure, so that the two panels 13 are stacked together. The folding structure design of the side panels 13 ensures that they can be sandwiched between the front 6 and the back 7 of the box body 1 after folding, ensuring stability in the folded state and preventing them from sliding or accidentally unfolding.
[0071] More specifically, the front 6 and the back 7 have a certain structural strength because they have a panel 12. They are not soft surfaces. The rigidity of the panel 12 plays a clamping role in the folded state, fixing the folded side panel 13 in the middle. The overall stability of the box body 1 in the folded state is ensured. After folding, the top surface 4 and the bottom surface 5 of the box body 1 are fixed by the bonding tape 9 and the bonding area 10. These fixing devices are connected by Velcro or other means to ensure the stability of the box body 1 in the folded state. The above structure further ensures that the folded box body 1 is not easy to slide or unfold, which significantly improves the safety and efficiency during transportation.
[0072] 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.
