Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of containers, and more specifically, it relates to a foldable container. Background Art

[0002] Containers are very common in the process of cargo transportation. Loading goods into containers facilitates the storage, hoisting and transportation of goods, thus facilitating the transfer of different goods between different regions. The probability of damage to goods transported by containers is small, and the goods are relatively well preserved, making the transportation cost of goods relatively low, which greatly facilitates people's lives. Existing containers are generally of an integral box structure and cannot be folded, so empty containers will also occupy a large amount of space, which is inconvenient for the large-scale storage of containers. Moreover, the volume and height of existing containers are fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the height of the goods, so goods with a relatively high height on one side cannot be loaded into the container, which is inconvenient for the transportation of goods and thus affects the use of the container.
