[0002] The existing metal flower box manufacturing technology has the following defects:

[0003] Welded structure: the traditional welded flower box volume is fixed and cannot be disassembled, which leads to insufficient utilization of transportation space of less than 40%;

[0004] Profile assembly system: complex connecting pieces (≥15 fasteners per square meter are used on average) are required to match, and the assembly time is more than 30 minutes;

[0005] High processing cost: the welding process requires an additional polishing process, and the profile mold cost accounts for 25-40% of the product cost. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0006] The utility model provides a metal flower box without welding and without screws, which realizes quick assembly within 3 minutes through innovative buckle structure, and the transportation volume compression rate reaches 85%.

[0007] The flower box comprises the following core components:

[0008] 1. Structure component:

[0009] First side plate (1) and second side plate (2): each two pieces, formed by three times of precise bending:

[0010] • Double-sided U-shaped clamping groove (3 / 4);

[0011] • Upper and lower right-angle folded edges (5 / 6 / 7 / 8);

[0012] Bottom plate (9);

[0013] 2. Connection mechanism:

[0014] Vertical lock system: the second side plate U-shaped clamping groove (4) is inserted into the first side plate clamping groove (3) in an interference fit mode (tolerance ±0.2mm), forming a four-layer steel plate composite column;

[0015] Displacement locking mechanism:

[0016] • Elastic card (11): 304 stainless steel material, yield strength ≥205MPa, protrusion amount 1.2-1.5mm;

[0017] • Positioning clamping hole (12): hole diameter tolerance ±0.1mm, interference fit with elastic card (11). ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS

[0018] 1.Quick assembly: through the card slot plug-in and elastic locking mechanism, the assembly time is shortened from 30 minutes to 2 minutes.

[0019] 2.High efficiency transportation: the compression rate of the volume after folding is 85% (the ratio of the unfolded size to the folded size is 1:0.15).

[0020] 3.High bearing capacity: the four-layer composite column can bear ≥150kg / m² load (verified by third-party detection).

[0021] 4.Low cost processing: no welding or mold opening is needed, and the mechanical processing qualified rate is ≥98%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
