Detailed Implementation
[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application. Example 1
[0025] A type of foldable storage box, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a base plate 1, a base frame 2, two sets of front enclosure panels 3 and two sets of side enclosure panels 4. The base plate 1 is fixedly installed on the base frame 2, the two sets of front enclosure panels 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the base plate 1, and the two sets of side enclosure panels 4 are detachably installed on both sides of the base plate 1. The adjacent front enclosure panels 3 and side enclosure panels 4 cooperate with each other to form a storage space.
[0026] like Figure 2-4As shown, the main enclosure assembly 3 includes an upper main enclosure 3-1, a lower main enclosure 3-2, two upper main uprights 3-3, and two lower main uprights 3-4. The two upper main uprights 3-3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper main enclosure 3-1, and the two lower main uprights 3-4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower main enclosure 3-2. The bottom of the upper main upright 3-3 has a first pin hole 3-31, and the side of the upper main upright 3-3 adjacent to the first pin hole 3-31 has a second pin hole 3-4. The second pin hole 3-32 and the first pin 3-33 are used for installation with the side panel assembly 4. The lower upright column 3-4 is hollow inside for insertion into the upper upright column 3-3. The lower upright column 3-4 is provided with a first limiting groove 3-41 for installation of a limiting component in conjunction with the first pin hole 3-31. A third pin hole 3-42 is provided on the side of the lower upright column 3-4 adjacent to the first limiting groove 3-41 for installation with the side panel assembly 4. In this utility model, the first limiting groove 3-41 has a "7" shaped structure. The first limiting groove 3-41 of the lower upright column 3-4 and the first pin hole 3-31 of the upper upright column 3-3 are connected by a limiting component to form a foldable assembly structure. The limiting component can be a pin, bolt, or other limiting connector.
[0027] To achieve rapid positioning of the upper and lower upright columns and ensure connection stability, in this embodiment 1, each upper upright column 3-3 has a first positioning block 3-34 on its opposite two sides, and each lower upright column 3-4 has a first positioning groove 3-43 on its opposite two sides at the top, with the first positioning groove 3-43 opening upwards for positioning in conjunction with the first positioning block 3-34. The shapes of the first positioning groove 3-43 and the first positioning block 3-34 can be designed by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, such as trapezoidal structures, V-shaped structures, etc.
[0028] In order to further improve the utilization rate of storage space, in this embodiment 1, each upper column 3-3 is provided with an upward-opening second positioning groove 3-35 at the top, and the four corners of the base frame 2 are provided with second positioning blocks 2-1, which cooperate with the second positioning grooves 3-35 for positioning.
[0029] In this embodiment 1, the second positioning groove 3-35 is a conical groove, and the second positioning block 2-1 is a conical block, with the conical block and the conical groove engaging for positioning. In this invention, the specific structure of the second positioning groove and the second positioning block can be designed by those skilled in the art according to actual needs; any existing positioning structure that allows for upper and lower engagement is applicable.
[0030] In this embodiment 1, as Figure 5-6As shown, the side panel assembly 4 includes an upper side panel 4-1 and a lower side panel 4-2. The lower side panel 4-2 has symmetrically arranged second limiting grooves 4-21 on both sides, which are fitted with first pins 3-33. The lower side panel 4-2 has fourth pin holes 4-22 near the bottom on both sides, which are used to fit with third pin holes 3-42 to install pins 5. The top side of the lower side panel 4-2 is connected to the bottom side of the upper side panel 4-1 by several hinges 6. The upper side panel 4-1 has symmetrically arranged fifth pin holes 4-11 on both sides, which correspond to and fit with the second pin holes 3-32 on the upper upright column 3-3. The outer surface of the upper side panel 4-1 has symmetrically arranged insert pins 4-12, which correspond to and fit with the fifth pin holes 4-11 and the second pin holes 3-32.
[0031] In this embodiment 1, the second limiting groove 4-21 is an open groove on the outside of the lower side panel 4-2, which is used to disengage from the first pin 3-33.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0033] When stacking goods in a storage box, first loosen the pins 5 connecting the lower side panel 4-2 and the lower front panel 3-2, and pull out the pins 4-12 connecting the upper side panel 4-1 and the upper front panel 3-1. Then, pull the lower side panel 4-2 (along with the upper side panel 4-1) upwards, causing the second limiting groove 4-21 of the lower side panel 4-2 to disengage from the first pin 3-33, thereby disassembling the side panel assembly 4 as a whole. After stacking the goods to a certain height, the removed side panel assembly 4 can be reconnected to the front panel assembly 3. Simultaneously, open the pins 4-12, allowing the upper side panel 4-1 to fold outwards and downwards via the hinges 6. Continue stacking goods upwards until the designated height is reached. Finally, fold the upper side panel 4-1 upwards again and insert the pins 4-12. This phased cargo stacking method improves both the neatness and convenience of cargo placement, and enhances safety and stability during the stacking process, preventing collapses caused by excessively high open-stacked cargo. This invention allows for the removal of one or both side panel assemblies 4 according to actual cargo stacking needs.
[0034] When the storage box needs to be folded and stored, first disassemble the side panel assembly 4 as a whole according to the above method, and fold the upper side panel 4-1 and the lower side panel 4-2 with hinges and place them on the base plate 1. Then pull the upper front panel 3-1 upward, so that the first positioning block 3-34 of the upper front column 3-3 disengages from the first positioning groove 3-43 of the lower front column 3-4. At the same time, under the limiting action of the first limiting groove 3-41, the upper front column 3-3 forms a rotating connection with the lower front column 3-4 through the limiting component (such as a pin). Fold the upper front column 3-3 (together with the upper front panel 3-1) inward and downward to complete the folding and storage.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
