Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics transportation container technology, specifically a foldable logistics transportation container. Background Technology

[0002] Logistics transport containers are instruments used to hold, protect, and transport goods in logistics activities. They have a certain strength, rigidity, and stability, and can be reused or used only once. Common types include wooden boxes, cardboard boxes, plastic boxes, metal containers, pallets, and shipping containers. They can effectively ensure the safety of goods in transportation, warehousing, loading and unloading, improve logistics operation efficiency, reduce cargo damage rate, and adapt to the characteristics and transportation needs of different goods.

[0003] For example, the Chinese authorized patent CN221477896U, entitled "An Environmentally Friendly Logistics Transportation Container," includes a connecting box body. A splicing mechanism is inserted into the top of the connecting box body. The splicing mechanism is interlocked with the connecting box body. Each splicing mechanism has a buffer mechanism inside, and the connecting box body has a storage mechanism inside. In this utility model, multiple interlocking blocks and slots are used to assemble the connecting box body, the first splicing plate, the second splicing plate, the third splicing plate, the fourth splicing plate, and the top plate. After use, the first splicing plate, the second splicing plate, the third splicing plate, the fourth splicing plate, and the top plate are stored in the connecting drawer.

[0004] While the existing technologies mentioned above can achieve the assembly of logistics transport containers, the overall components are numerous, making the assembly process cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Furthermore, components are prone to falling off during loading and unloading, causing trouble for subsequent assembly. Therefore, they do not meet current needs. In response, we propose a foldable logistics transport container. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foldable logistics transportation container to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as cumbersome assembly steps, time and labor costs, and the easy falling of parts during loading and unloading.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable logistics transport container, including a base plate, with first side plates provided on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate, and a mounting seat provided below the front end of the first side plates corresponding to the upper surface of the base plate. The mounting seat is integrally formed with the base plate, and the first side plates and the mounting seat are rotatably engaged via a first connecting shaft. Second side plates are provided at both the front and rear ends of the base plate. Storage grooves are provided at both the front and rear ends inside the base plate, and one end of the storage groove penetrates through the base plate. Rotary shaft guide grooves are provided on the side walls of the storage grooves. Second connecting shafts are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the second side plates, and one end of the second connecting shaft extends into the interior of the rotating shaft guide groove, and the second connecting shaft is slidably engaged with the rotating shaft guide groove.

[0007] Preferably, when the first side plate is transformed into a horizontal state via the first connecting shaft, the top ends of the two first side plates are brought together.

[0008] Preferably, the second side plate is transformed into a horizontal state and slides into the storage groove via the second connecting shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the front and rear ends of the outer wall of the first side plate are provided with three equally spaced locking bolts, and the two sides of the outer wall of the second side plate are provided with three equally spaced threaded holes. The threaded end of the locking bolt passes through the first side plate and is connected to the threaded hole by thread.

[0010] Preferably, a cover plate is provided above the first side plate and the second side plate in the unfolded state, and the bottom of the cover plate is provided with a groove for fastening to the outside of the rectangular surface formed by the first side plate and the second side plate.

[0011] Preferably, when the first and second side plates are folded, the cover plate is located below the bottom plate, the cover plate is flipped up, and the bottom plate that houses the first and second side plates is engaged in the groove at the upper end of the cover plate.

[0012] Preferably, the inner sides of both the first and second side plates are provided with grooves for installing inflatable airbags.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model adopts a folding design. During normal storage and transportation of goods, the whole structure is a box structure, and its internal space is used for the placement and stacking of goods. When the transport container needs to be stored after the goods are transported, the locking mechanism between the first side panel and the second side panel is removed. The second side panel is opened outward first, so that it changes from a vertical to a horizontal state. Then, the second side panel is pushed, so that the second connecting shaft slides along the rotating shaft guide groove, gradually extending the second side panel into the storage groove. After the two second side panels are stored, the first side panel is folded inward, so that the first connecting shafts on both sides rotate 90 degrees at the mounting seat on the bottom plate, so that the two first side panels are laid flat on the upper surface of the bottom plate. Finally, the top cover is flipped 180 degrees to form a groove. The floor with the folded first and second side panels is placed into the groove of the top cover. Through simple operation, the side panels are stored into the groove and flipped in turn. The top cover and the bottom plate are cleverly combined to form a plate structure, which greatly reduces the space occupied and facilitates storage and handling. It effectively improves space utilization, reduces warehousing costs, reduces empty transport losses, improves logistics turnover efficiency, and facilitates the recycling of transport containers.

[0015] 2. This utility model, by providing a locking mechanism, allows the first side plate to preferentially change from a horizontal to a vertical state during the opening process from a folded state. After the second side plate is pulled out, it rotates upright in conjunction with the second connecting shaft. At this time, the side wall of the second side plate is in contact with the two ends of the inner side of the first side plate. A locking bolt is passed through the first side plate and aligned with the threaded hole of the second side plate. Then, a tool is used to rotate the locking bolt to fix the first and second side plates. The method of fixing by the locking bolt and the threaded hole ensures that the side plates are firmly connected, forming a high-strength box structure, which greatly enhances the overall rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the transport container and provides reliable protection for the goods during transportation.

[0016] 3. This utility model features grooves for filling inflatable airbags on the inner sides of the first and second side plates. In use, the inflatable airbags can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the goods. During transportation, they are inflated to fit tightly against the goods, filling the gaps between the goods and the side plates, effectively buffering vibrations, collisions, and bumps during transportation. When not in use, the airbags can be deflated and stored in the grooves, without taking up too much space inside the container or affecting the normal stacking and placement of goods. Furthermore, in conjunction with the folding design, the flat state of the airbags does not add extra volume when the container is folded for storage, thus balancing protective function and space utilization efficiency.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides: a foldable logistics transportation container, including a base plate 1, with first side plates 2 provided on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 1, and a mounting seat 6 provided below the front end of the first side plate 2 on the upper surface of the base plate 1. The mounting seat 6 is integrally formed with the base plate 1, and the first side plate 2 and the mounting seat 6 are rotatably engaged through a first connecting shaft 10. Second side plates 3 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the base plate 1. Storage grooves 7 are provided at both the front and rear ends inside the base plate 1, and one end of the storage groove 7 penetrates through the base plate 1. Rotary shaft guide grooves 9 are provided on the side walls of the storage grooves 7. Second connecting shafts 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the second side plate 3, and one end of the second connecting shaft 11 extends into the interior of the rotating shaft guide groove 9, and the second connecting shaft 11 and the rotating shaft guide groove 9 are slidably engaged.

[0024] When stored, the first side plate 2 can rotate around the first connecting shaft 10 on the mounting base 6, changing from a vertical to a horizontal position; the second side plate 3 slides within the rotating shaft guide groove 9 via the second connecting shaft 11, first changing from vertical to horizontal, and then sliding into the storage slot 7 along the groove. When in use, the first side plate 2 rotates around the first connecting shaft 10 to a vertical position, the second side plate 3 slides out along the rotating shaft guide groove 9, and then rotates back to a vertical position, together forming the box structure, realizing the folding and quick unfolding of the transport container. When stored, it greatly reduces the space occupied, making it convenient for storing and transporting empty containers; when in use, it can be quickly assembled into a box.

[0025] Please see Figure 3When the first side plate 2 is transformed into a horizontal state through the first connecting shaft 10, the tops of the two first side plates 2 are brought together. During the storage process, the two first side plates 2 rotate around the first connecting shaft 10. When rotated to a horizontal state, the tops of the two first side plates 2 are brought together and attached to each other, realizing the folding and storage of the first side plate. This makes the first side plate occupy less space after folding, with a compact structure, which facilitates further folding and storage of the entire transport container. Moreover, the brought-to-the-side state makes the first side plate more stable during storage, reducing shaking and collision, and avoiding damage to components.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second side plate 3 is transformed into a horizontal state through the second connecting shaft 11 and slides into the storage slot 7. When storing, the second side plate 3 uses the second connecting shaft 11 as a fulcrum and first rotates from a vertical state to a horizontal state. Then, the second connecting shaft 11 slides in the rotating shaft guide groove 9, driving the second side plate 3 to slide into the storage slot 7 in the base plate 1 for storage. The sliding storage design of the second side plate allows it to be hidden inside the base plate when not in use, effectively saving external space. The sliding process is stable, reducing wear caused by arbitrary folding and ensuring the integrity of the side plate. At the same time, the surface of the container is flat after storage, which is convenient for stacking and storage.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 The first side plate 2 has three equally spaced locking bolts 8 on both the front and rear ends of its outer wall, and the second side plate 3 has three equally spaced threaded holes 12 on both sides of its outer wall. The threaded end of the locking bolt 8 passes through the first side plate 2 and is connected to the threaded hole 12 by thread. When the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 are unfolded to a vertical position and fit together, the locking bolt 8 is passed through the hole on the first side plate 2 and aligned with the threaded hole 12 on the second side plate 3. The locking bolt 8 is then tightened with a tool, and the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 are firmly fixed together by threaded connection. This bolt connection method is simple to operate, has high connection strength, and enables the transport container to form a stable and sturdy box structure during use, which can withstand the weight of the goods and various external forces during transportation, ensuring the safety of goods transportation, and is also easy to disassemble.

[0028] Please see Figure 2The first side panel 2 and the second side panel 3 are provided with a cover plate 5 above them when they are unfolded. The bottom of the cover plate 5 is provided with a groove for fastening to the outside of the rectangular surface formed by the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 3. When the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 3 are unfolded and fixed into a rectangular box by the locking bolts 8, the groove at the bottom of the cover plate 5 is aligned with the edge of the top of the box and fastened downwards, so that the cover plate 5 tightly covers the top of the box, forming a closed transport space. The fastening design of the cover plate 5 can effectively protect the goods inside the box and prevent dust, rainwater and other substances from entering. At the same time, it can limit and reinforce the goods inside the box and prevent the goods from being damaged by shaking during transportation.

[0029] Please see Figure 3 When the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 3 are folded, the cover plate 5 is located below the bottom plate 1. The cover plate 5 is flipped over, and the bottom plate 1 that houses the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 3 is engaged in the groove at the upper end of the cover plate 5. When the transport container is folded and stored, the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 3 are first folded and stored on the bottom plate 1, and then the cover plate 5 is flipped over and placed below the bottom plate 1. At this time, the groove at the upper end of the cover plate 5 is engaged with the bottom plate 1 with the side panels stored, forming a compact plate structure. This storage method makes the entire transport container compact after folding, and the components cooperate and fix each other, reducing shaking and displacement during transportation and storage, further saving space, and facilitating handling and storage.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 The inner sides of the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 are provided with grooves for installing inflatable airbags. Before transporting goods, the inflatable airbags installed in the grooves on the inner sides of the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 are inflated according to the shape and size of the goods, so that the airbags expand and fit tightly against the goods, filling the gap between the goods and the side plates. After the transport is completed, the airbags are deflated and shrink back into the grooves.
