Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insulated boxes, specifically to an insulated box that uses a combination of soft and hard materials and does not require a fully airtight zipper. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, insulated boxes are typically used to carry items requiring preservation or refrigeration. Existing insulated boxes for carrying general items requiring preservation usually consist of a flexible body and a flexible lid, sealed with a fully airtight zipper at the joint. An insulating material is placed on the inner wall of both the flexible body and lid. This structure prevents heat exchange between the inside and outside of the insulated box, which is beneficial for protecting refrigerated items for a short time. However, because both the body and lid are made of flexible materials with poor plasticity, the overall appearance of the insulated box is not aesthetically pleasing. In particular, opening and closing the lid often requires two hands – one hand to pull the zipper, and the other hand to support the flexible body – making it inconvenient to use. Furthermore, the fully airtight zipper is expensive, often accounting for one-third to one-half of the total cost of the insulated box, thus increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an insulated box that is aesthetically pleasing, easy to open and close, and low in cost.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an insulated box, comprising a flexible box body, a rigid ring body disposed at its open end and fixedly connected thereto, a rigid cover plate disposed on the rigid ring body and with its rear edge hinged to its rear edge, a rigid inner frame body integrally formed therewith on the inner surface of the rigid cover plate, a sealing ring body being provided on the outer sleeve of the rigid inner frame body, and when the rigid cover plate is closed on the rigid ring body, the rigid inner frame body is inserted into the rigid ring body and the sealing ring body is in contact with the upper surface of the rigid ring body; the rigid ring body, the rigid cover plate and the rigid inner frame body are all made of a mixture of TPU and carbon fiber.

[0005] Furthermore, a layer of TPU composite fabric is laid on both the outer and inner walls of the flexible box, and the composite fabric is fixed to the outer and inner walls of the flexible box respectively by a seamless high-frequency welding process.

[0006] It also includes two locking assemblies for fastening the rigid cover plate and the rigid ring together so that the sealing ring is in close contact with the upper surface of the rigid ring; each locking assembly includes a mounting base provided on the front surface of the rigid cover plate, a locking buckle hinged to the mounting base at its upper end, a longitudinal slot provided in the locking buckle, and a fastener provided on the front surface of the flexible housing and located directly below the mounting base when it is closed with the rigid cover plate.

[0007] A square strip-shaped notch is provided at the lower edge of the front surface of the rigid cover plate, and a lower square strip-shaped notch with the same shape is provided at the corresponding position of the upper edge of the front surface of the rigid ring.

[0008] It further includes two side locking assemblies. The side locking assembly includes a fastening ring body with an upper frame hinged to the rigid cover plate on the side surface of the rigid cover plate, and a fastening plate with a side surface of the rigid ring body and located directly below the fastening ring body. The upper edge of the fastening plate is hinged to the rigid ring body. When the rigid cover plate is closed, the fastening ring body rotates downward and is fitted outside the fastening plate, and the fastening plate rotates downward and fits against the surface of the flexible box.

[0009] The insulated box of this utility model is made of flexible material. A rigid ring and a rigid cover plate are located at the opening of the box. When the rigid cover plate is closed, the rigid inner frame is inserted into the rigid ring, and the sealing ring is in contact with the upper surface of the rigid ring. At this time, when the locking buckle and fastener of the locking assembly are fastened, the sealing ring is located between the joint surfaces of the rigid ring and the rigid cover plate and is compressed, thereby sealing the joint between the two and preventing heat exchange between the inside of the box and the outside, thus achieving a sealing effect. Compared with the flexible insulated boxes used in the prior art, the insulated box of this utility model has an aesthetically pleasing shape, and the rigid cover plate can be opened and closed with one hand, making it convenient to use. Moreover, the use of the above structure instead of a fully airtight zipper reduces the production cost of the insulated box and helps to improve market competitiveness. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0014] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0015] like Figure 3As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an insulated box, including a flexible box body 1, a rigid ring body 2 disposed at its open end and fixedly connected to it, and a rigid cover plate 3 disposed on the rigid ring body and hinged to its rear edge, that is, the rear edge of the rigid ring body and the rear edge of the rigid cover plate 3 are hinged by a hinge, such as a common hinge; a rigid inner frame 4 integrally formed therewith is provided on the inner surface of the rigid cover plate 3, and a sealing ring 5 is provided on the outer sleeve of the rigid inner frame. When the rigid cover plate 3 is closed on the rigid ring body 2, the rigid inner frame is inserted into the rigid ring body 2 and the sealing ring is in contact with the upper surface of the rigid ring body 2; the rigid ring body 2, the rigid cover plate 3 and the rigid inner frame 4 are all made of a mixture of TPU and carbon fiber. Here, the so-called flexible box refers to the fact that it is made of flexible material. Like existing flexible boxes, it can remain upright when placed on the ground, but it is easy to deform when touched. Rigid means that it will not deform when touched. The TPU and carbon fiber composite material is a commercially available material and is existing technology. The rigid ring 2 is made of this material so that the rigid ring 2 can be connected to the flexible box 1 by seamless high-frequency welding process during processing.

[0016] like Figure 3 As shown, a layer of TPU composite fabric is laid on both the outer and inner walls of the flexible box 1. The composite fabric is fixed to the outer and inner walls of the flexible box 1 by a seamless high-frequency welding process. The layer of TPU composite fabric helps to achieve the effect of heat preservation.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes two locking assemblies for fastening the rigid cover plate 3 and the rigid ring body 2 together so that the sealing ring is in close contact with the upper surface of the rigid ring body; each locking assembly includes a mounting base 6 provided on the front surface of the rigid cover plate 3, a locking buckle 7 with its upper end hinged to the mounting base, a longitudinal slot 701 provided in the locking buckle, and a fastener 8 provided on the front surface of the flexible housing 1 and located directly below the mounting base when it is closed with the rigid cover plate 3.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in the closed state, to facilitate opening the rigid cover plate 3, a square strip-shaped notch 301 is provided at the lower edge of the front surface of the rigid cover plate 3, and a lower square strip-shaped notch 201 with the same shape is provided at the corresponding position of the upper edge of the front surface of the rigid ring body 2. With this structure, when closed, the square strip-shaped notch 301 and the lower square strip-shaped notch 201 combine to form a square strip-shaped blind hole. The presence of this strip-shaped blind hole makes it easy to insert a finger into it and forcefully open the rigid cover plate 3.

[0019] like Figure 2As shown, in order to achieve a better sealing effect, in addition to setting a locking assembly on the front surface of the insulated box, a side locking assembly is also set on each of its left and right surfaces. The side locking assembly includes a fastening ring 9 with its upper frame hinged to the rigid cover 3 on the side surface of the rigid cover 3, and a fastening plate 10 with its upper edge hinged to the rigid cover 2 on the side surface of the rigid ring 2 and located directly below the fastening ring 9. When the rigid cover 3 is closed, the fastening ring 9 rotates downward and is fitted over the fastening plate 10, and the fastening plate 10 rotates downward and is in contact with the surface of the flexible box 1.

[0020] Compared with the flexible insulated boxes used in the prior art, the insulated box of this utility model has a beautiful shape and can be opened and closed with one hand, making it convenient to use. Moreover, the use of the above structure to replace the fully airtight zipper reduces the production cost of the insulated box and helps to improve market competitiveness.
