Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of turnover appliances, and particularly relates to a foldable storage cage. Background Art
[0002] The storage cage, also known as the warehouse cage and butterfly cage, is widely used in industries such as industrial and mining enterprises, shopping malls, and logistics. It can be used not only in the factory production workshop, but also for promotional displays and storage in supermarkets, and can be used outdoors. The storage cage is an important type of logistics container in warehousing and transportation. It has the advantages of a fixed capacity for storing items, neat stacking, clear visibility for storage, and convenience for inventory counting, and can improve the effective utilization rate of storage space.
[0003] Generally, storage cages are centrally produced in processing factories and then transported to the site through transport vehicles and turnover equipment. Since they do not have a folding function, they will occupy a large space during the stacking or transportation of empty cages, increasing the transportation cost for turnover. Although some storage cages have a folding function, when folding, the components need to be disassembled and then transported, and when in use, the components are connected and fixed through a connection structure. This type of storage cage is inconvenient to fold, time-consuming and laborious, and the storage cage is prone to shaking during transportation and is easily damaged by impact.
[0004] In view of the above existing technologies, it is necessary to improve the structure of the existing storage cage. Therefore, the applicant has made a beneficial design, and the technical solution to be introduced below is generated under this background. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a foldable storage cage that is quick and convenient to fold and unfold and is safe and reliable to stack.
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in this way. A foldable storage cage includes a pair of bases arranged at intervals face to face, a bottom plate fixed on the pair of bases, and front, rear, left, and right side plates arranged at the four peripheral edges of the bottom plate and enclosing to form a cage cavity. Each of the front and rear side plates has a pair of columns. Slots are opened in the columns along the height direction. The two ends of the left and right side plates are respectively inserted and connected with the slots, so as to be connected with the front and rear side plates as a whole. L-shaped support feet are symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the base. When the storage cage is in the unfolded state, the lower ends of the columns abut against the inside of the support feet, and the upper ends of the columns extend upward to form base support grooves for supporting the base of another storage cage. When the storage cage is in the folded state, the left, right, front, and rear side plates are laid down and stacked on the bottom plate from bottom to top in sequence. The upper ends of the support feet protrude from the stacked front, rear, left, and right side plates. At this time, a base accommodation cavity is formed by enclosing among the upper ends of the support feet for accommodating the base of another storage cage.
[0007] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, there are a pair of left and right side plates each, and they are spliced up and down.
[0008] In another specific embodiment of the present utility model, the cross-section of the base support groove is L-shaped.
[0009] In yet another specific embodiment of the present utility model, reinforcing ribs are transversely arranged in the middle on the front and rear side plates.
[0010] Due to the adoption of the above structure, compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the beneficial effects as follows: the front, rear, left, and right side plates are spliced into a cage frame, which is fast and convenient, without the need for additional connecting pieces, and when the storage cage is in the unfolded state, another storage cage can be stacked; when it is changed to the folded state, the front, rear, left, and right side plates can be disassembled conveniently and quickly, and the front, rear, left, and right side plates can be stacked on the bottom plate in sequence, reducing the volume of the storage cage, which is beneficial to saving space, and in this folded state, another storage cage can also be stacked; since the storage cages can be reliably connected in both the unfolded and folded states, it is convenient for transportation and ensures transportation safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 2 is a schematic view of the present utility model in the folded state.
[0013] In the figure: 1. base, 11. support feet; 2. bottom plate; 3. front side plate; 4. rear side plate; 5. left side plate; 6. right side plate; 7. upright post, 71. slot, 72. base support groove; 8. reinforcing rib. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0014] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings, but the description of the embodiments is not a limitation on the technical solution, and any change in form rather than in essence based on the concept of the present utility model should be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] In the following description, all concepts related to the directions (or orientations) of up, down, left, right, front, and rear are with respect to the position state of the figure being described, aiming to facilitate public understanding, and thus cannot be understood as a special limitation on the technical solution provided by the present utility model.
[0016] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present utility model relates to a foldable storage cage, including a pair of bases 1 arranged at intervals face to face, a bottom plate 2 fixed on the pair of bases 1, and front, rear, left, and right side plates 3, 4, 5, 6 arranged at the four peripheral edges of the bottom plate 2 and enclosing to form a cage cavity.
[0017] The front and rear side plates 3 and 4 each have a pair of vertical columns 7. Slots 71 are formed in the vertical columns 7 along the height direction. The two ends of the left and right side plates 5 and 6 are respectively inserted and connected with the slots 71, so as to be connected with the front and rear side plates 3 and 4 to form a cage frame as a whole. The base 1 is symmetrically provided with L-shaped support feet 11 at the left and right ends, that is, the cross section of the support feet 11 is L-shaped, and the four support feet 11 enclose to form a cage frame accommodation cavity. The cage frame abuts the lower ends of the four corners at the bottom, that is, the lower ends of the two pairs of vertical columns 7, against the inside of the support feet 11 to realize the fixation in the unfolded state. The upper ends of the vertical columns 7 extend upward to form base support grooves 72. The cross section of the base support grooves 72 is L-shaped and is used to support the base 1 of another storage cage, so as to realize the stacked arrangement of multiple unfolded or folded storage cages up and down.
[0018] Furthermore, there are a pair of left and right side plates 5 and 6 each, and they are spliced up and down. Reinforcing ribs 8 are horizontally arranged in the middle of the front and rear side plates 3 and 4 to ensure the support strength of the storage cage.
[0019] See Figure 2 , the storage cage mentioned in the present utility model has a folding function. When folding is needed, the whole cage frame is lifted upward to be separated from the cage frame accommodation cavity, and then the two ends of the left and right side plates 5 and 6 are pulled out from the slots 71, and the front, rear, left and right side plates 3, 4, 5 and 6 are disassembled. Then, the left, right, front and rear side plates 5, 6, 3 and 4 are laid down and stacked on the bottom plate 2 in sequence from bottom to top. The upper ends of the support feet 11 protrude from the stacked front, rear, left and right side plates 3, 4, 5 and 6. At this time, the upper ends of the support feet 11 enclose to form a base accommodation cavity, which can accommodate the base 1 of another unfolded or folded storage cage to realize the stacked arrangement up and down.
