DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementations.

[0026] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-9 The invention specifically implements a foldable logistics box, which includes a base 1. The lower end of the base 1 is provided with a support foot 2. The support foot 2 is integrally formed with the lower end of the base 1 and evenly distributed, which provides a supporting effect and is convenient for forklift handling. The base 1 is equipped with a rotatable baffle 4 and a side panel 5 via a rotating shaft 3. The rotating shaft 3 is fixed in the base 1 by a pin. A fixing assembly is installed on both sides of the side panel 5. The baffle 4 is provided with a fixing groove 6 and a fixed rib 7 that cooperate with the fixing assembly. The baffle 4 is provided with a box cover 8. The box cover 8 is provided with a groove corresponding to the support foot 2, so that the logistics boxes can be stacked together. The base 1 is provided with a boss corresponding to the box cover 8. One end of the baffle 4 and the side panel 5 is provided with a bulge corresponding to the box cover 8, so that after opening or folding, the box cover 8 can be put on top and firmly fixed. The fixing assembly includes a fixing plate 9 that is embedded and installed on both sides of the side panel 5 and a fixing block 10 that is slidable in the fixing plate 9. The fixing plate 9 is fixed to both sides of the side panel 5 by bolts. Restoration springs 11 are mounted on either side of the fixing block 10, engaging the fixing plate 9. These springs are attached to the fixing plate 9 via locating pins, which extend through both sides of the fixing block 10 and are secured to the fixing plate 9 via threaded connections. These springs 11 engage the fixing block 10 with the fixing slots 6, connecting and disconnecting the baffle 4 and side panels 5, thereby folding or unfolding the logistics box. The fixed ribs 7 prevent the side panels 5 from tilting outward after the fixing block 10 is released from the baffle 4, which could cause unnecessary damage.

[0027] Furthermore, stoppers 12 are provided on both sides of the fixing block 10, and the fixing plate 9 is provided with stopper grooves 13 that cooperate with the stoppers 12. The dimensional fit between the stoppers 12 and the stopper grooves 13 ensures the stability of the fixing block 10 during the sliding process, preventing the position of the fixing block 10 from shifting due to improper operation or external forces, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire logistics box structure.

[0028] Furthermore, the base 1 is provided with a limiting structure 14 for cooperating with the baffle 4. The limiting structure 14 adopts an upwardly inclined slope at one end, so that the rotation angle of the baffle 4 is limited, thereby preventing the baffle 4 from tilting outward and causing the fixing groove 6 to disconnect from the fixing block 10, affecting the safety and stability of the logistics box.

[0029] Furthermore, the side panels 5 are provided with limit ribs 15 that cooperate with the fixed ribs 7. The limit ribs 15 are firmly fitted to the fixed block 10 and the fixed groove 6, limiting the rotation angle of the side panels 5 while strengthening the support effect, ensuring the stability and reliability of the logistics box during use.

[0030] Furthermore, a retractable side door panel 16 is provided on one side of the side panel 5. A locking assembly 17 is mounted on the side door panel 16 and engages with the side panel 5. This makes loading and unloading the logistics box more convenient, allowing users to quickly open or close the side door panel 16 as needed. The locking mechanism can be implemented using snap-on, magnetic, or other methods. In this embodiment, the same locking method as the fixed assembly is used.

[0031] Furthermore, the fixing block 10 is provided with a curved groove 18 for easy movement. This makes pushing the fixing block 10 more convenient and quick. During operation, the user can easily slide the fixing block 10 through the curved groove 18 to connect or disconnect the baffle 4 and the side panel 5. The design of the curved groove 18 not only improves operational convenience but also increases user comfort during use.

[0032] Furthermore, a handle 19 is provided on one side of the side panel 5 for easy grasping. The handle 19 is integrally formed with the side panel 5, reducing assembly time and increasing its strength and durability. The design of the handle 19 makes it easier and quicker for the user to pull up the side panel 5, avoiding the inconvenience of slipping when opening the side panel 5 due to its smooth surface.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this utility model include: the rotatable baffle 4 and side panels 5 can reduce the volume of the logistics box when not in use or empty, thus reducing space usage. The fixing block 10, through the cooperation of the return spring 11, the fixing groove 6, and the fixed rib 7, ensures a secure connection between the baffle 4 and side panels 5 during use. This prevents the logistics box from loosening or deforming due to vibration or impact during transportation.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention is disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with the profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of the above-disclosed technical contents without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
