[0087] According to the top corner seal 220 of this scheme, the overall structural strength of the corner of the container 200 is improved by setting a reinforcing member with a connecting part and an extension part.

[0088] Please continue reading. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The reinforcing member includes a first reinforcing member 230, which is connected to the horizontal segment 121. Specifically, the first reinforcing member 230 includes a first connecting portion 231 and a first extension 232. One end of the first connecting portion 231 is connected to the horizontal segment 121. The first extension 232 is located above the first connecting portion 231 and connected to the other end of the first connecting portion 231 opposite to the horizontal segment 121. The first connecting portion 231 is perpendicular to the horizontal segment 121; and / or the first extension 232 is parallel to the horizontal segment 121. For example... Figure 4 In this configuration, the first connecting portion 231 is perpendicular to the horizontal segment 121, and the first extension portion 232 is parallel to the horizontal segment 121. Further, the first extension portion 232 has a first contact surface 233, which is inclined relative to the width direction DW and the vertical direction DH of the container 200, and is located at the bottom of the first extension portion 232; and / or the free end of the horizontal segment 121 is provided with an upward-facing first flange 124, along the width direction DW of the container 200, with the first flange 124 and the first extension portion 232 located on opposite sides of the first connecting portion 231. For example... Figure 4 In the container 200, along the width direction DW, the first flange 124 and the first extension 232 are located on both sides of the first connecting portion 231. It should be noted that, along the width direction DW of the container 200, the first contact surface 233 has a first end close to the first connecting portion 231 and a second end away from the first connecting portion 231, with the second end located above the first end.

[0089] The reinforcing member may include a second reinforcing member 240, which is connected to the vertical segment 122. Specifically, the second reinforcing member 240 includes a second connecting portion 241 and a second extension 242. One end of the second connecting portion 241 is connected to the vertical segment 122. The second extension 242 is connected to the other end of the second connecting portion 241 away from the vertical segment 122. The second connecting portion 241 is perpendicular to the vertical segment 122; and / or the second extension 242 is parallel to the vertical segment 122. For example... Figure 4 In this configuration, the second connecting portion 241 is perpendicular to the vertical section 122, and the second extension portion 242 is parallel to the vertical section 122. Further, the second extension portion 242 has a second contact surface 243, which is inclined relative to the width direction DW and the vertical direction DH of the container 200. The second contact surface 243 is located on the side of the second extension portion 242 along the width direction DW of the container 200, closer to the interior of the container 200; and / or the free end of the vertical section 122 is provided with a second flange 125 away from the interior of the container 200, along the vertical direction DH, with the second flange 125 and the second extension portion 242 located on opposite sides of the second connecting portion 241.

[0090] It should be noted that the arrangement of the first contact surface 233 and the second contact surface 243 can facilitate the flow of the foam layer 114 into the accommodating area formed by the reinforcing member and the top corner seal body 221, thereby improving the molding strength of the foam layer 114 and the top corner seal 220.

[0091] Please continue reading. Figure 3 and Figure 4Preferably, the cross-sectional structure of the connecting section 123 is arc-shaped. The container 200 includes a top panel 111, side panels 112, and a corner seal 220, which is connected to the top panel 111 and side panels 112. Furthermore, the container 200 also includes a top-side beam 113 disposed along the length of the container 200. The top-side beam 113 is located above the corner seal 220 and connected to the top panel 111 and side panels 112, forming a cavity 116 with the top panel 111, side panels 112, and corner seal 220. The cavity 116 is used to fill the foam layer 114. It is understood that, to facilitate the formation of the foam layer 114, the top-side beam 113 has an injection port communicating with the outside and the cavity 116. The container 200 also includes a sealing member detachably connected to the top-side beam 113 to control the opening and closing of the injection port. To further enhance the molding strength of the foam layer 114 inside the cavity 116, the top corner seal 220 has multiple protrusions 126 on the side away from the interior of the container 200 along its own thickness direction. The protrusions 126 can be provided in at least one of the horizontal section 121, the connecting section 123, and the vertical section 122.

[0092] Furthermore, to facilitate adhesive application, the top corner seal 220 has a receiving groove 127 on the side away from the interior of the container 200 along its own thickness direction. Figure 4 In the middle, the receiving groove 127 is located between the horizontal section 121 and the first flange 124, and the receiving groove 127 is also provided between the vertical section 122 and the second flange 125.

[0093] Both the corner seal body 221 and the reinforcing member are arranged along the length direction of the container 200. Preferably, the corner seal body 221 and the reinforcing member have the same dimensions along the length direction of the container 200. Alternatively, the reinforcing member has multiple segments along the length direction of the container 200, and the multiple segments of the reinforcing member are distributed at intervals along the length direction of the container 200.

[0094] The corner seal 220 is connected to the top plate 111 and the side plate 112 via fasteners 115, such as rivets. The corner seal 220 can be made of metal or non-metal, such as aluminum.

[0095] Second Implementation Method

[0096] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 This embodiment provides a container 300, which includes a corner seal 320. The corner seal 320 has a corner seal body 321 and reinforcing members. The reinforcing members may include a first reinforcing member 330 and / or a second reinforcing member 340. Compared to the corner seal 220 of the first embodiment, the difference is that the first connecting portion 331 is inclined upward relative to the horizontal segment 121; and / or the first extension portion 332 is parallel relative to the horizontal segment 121. For example Figure 6 In the first connection portion 331, the first connecting portion 331 is inclined upward relative to the horizontal section 121, and the first extension portion 332 is parallel to the horizontal section 121. Furthermore, the free end of the horizontal section 121 is provided with an upward-facing first flange 124. Along the width direction DW of the container 300, the first flange 124 and the first extension portion 332 are located on the same side of the first connecting portion 331. It should be noted that the first connecting portion 331 has a first edge close to the horizontal section 121 and a second edge away from the horizontal section 121. Along the width direction DW of the container 300, the second edge is closer to the first flange 124 than the first edge. The first connecting portion 331 and the horizontal section 121 have an included angle C, 30° < C < 90°, to better facilitate the forming of the foam layer 114 and the top corner seal 320, for example, 31°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, or 89°.

[0097] Please continue reading. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second connecting portion 341 is inclined relative to the vertical segment 122; and / or the second extension portion 342 is parallel to the vertical segment 122. For example Figure 6 In the second connection portion 341, the second extension portion 342 is inclined relative to the vertical section 122, and parallel to the vertical section 122. Furthermore, the free end of the vertical section 122 is provided with a second flange 125 away from the interior of the container 300. Along the vertical direction DH, the second flange 125 and the second extension portion 342 are located on the same side of the second connection portion 341. It should be noted that the second connection portion 341 has a third edge near the vertical section 122 and a fourth edge away from the vertical section 122, with the third edge located above the fourth edge along the vertical direction DH. The second connection portion 341 and the vertical section 122 have an included angle D, 30° < D < 90°, to better facilitate the molding of the foam layer 114 and the top corner seal 320, for example, 31°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, or 89°.

[0098] According to this utility model, the corner seal features multiple protrusions on the side of the corner seal away from the container interior along its thickness direction, enhancing the connection strength between the corner seal and the foam layer. Furthermore, in addition to strengthening the overall structural strength of the corner seal, the reinforcing member allows the foam layer to embed well within the receiving area formed by the reinforcing member and the corner seal body during foaming, and to connect and form a unified structure with the reinforcing member. When the container is subjected to torque, foam delamination is less likely to occur at the corner seal location, ensuring the overall strength of the corner seal area.
