[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a silkworm tray includes a tray body 20 and supports 10. At least three supports 10 are detachably mounted on the tray body 20 via a snap-fit ​​structure. Preferably, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the disc 20 is trapezoidal, and the four corners of the disc 20 are rounded. There are four supports 10, one on each of the four corners of the disc 20. Further, as... Figure 4 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a resilient snap-fit ​​11 and a latch 22 that engages with the resilient snap-fit ​​11, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the support 10 has a window, and the window is provided with a resilient buckle 11 that extends downward and protrudes inward, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the disc body 20 has a slot 22 that matches the elastic buckle 11. The inner side wall of the support 10 is also provided with a lifting part to lift the disc body 20. When the support 10 is installed, the elastic buckle 11 on the support 10 is pressed against the outer side wall of the disc body 20, which causes the elastic buckle 11 to generate an elastic restoring force. When the elastic buckle 11 enters the slot 22, it enters the slot 22 under the action of the elastic restoring force, thereby realizing the buckle connection between the support 10 and the disc body 20. At this time, the disc body 20 is lifted by the lifting part. Therefore, after a heavy object is placed on the disc body 20, its weight can be transferred to the lifting part, thereby enabling the support 10 to support the disc body 20.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the lifting part is the mounting slot 12, such as Figure 6As shown, the bottom of the disc body 20 is provided with a skirt 23, which is engaged in the mounting groove 12. Since the support 10 is installed on the four corners of the disc body 20, and the skirt 23 at the four corners of the disc body 20 has an arc-shaped structure, the mounting groove 12 is also an arc-shaped groove. After the skirt 23 is installed in the mounting groove 12, the mounting groove 12 limits the skirt 23, thereby ensuring the stability of the support 10 and the disc body 20. Furthermore, the inner wall of the support 10 is an inclined mating slope 14, and the outer wall of the disc body 20 is an inclined wall 21 that matches the mating slope 14. Therefore, after the support 10 and the disc body 20 are snapped together... The inclined wall 21 fits into the mating inclined surface 14. After a heavy object is placed inside the disc 20, the inclined wall 21 and the mating inclined surface 14 can always fit together under the action of gravity, which further improves the reliability of the installation of the support 10 and the disc 20. In this embodiment, since the support 10 is installed at the corner of the disc 20, the support 10 has two side walls and an arc-shaped wall 13. Preferably, both side walls of the support 10 have elastic buckles 11, which further improves the reliability of the installation of the disc 20 and the support 10. Moreover, the arc-shaped wall 13 and the two side walls on the support 10 can also form a preliminary positioning, which facilitates the installation of the disc 20 and the support 10.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, there is a gap between the inner side of the skirt 23 and the side wall near the mounting slot 12. That is to say, when the skirt 23 is in the mounting slot 12, due to the existence of the gap, the skirt 23 and the mounting slot 12 are not stuck together, and there is no negative pressure. Therefore, when the support 10 and the disc 20 are separated, press the elastic buckle 11 to make the elastic buckle 11 disengage, and then pull the support 10 down forcefully to easily separate the support 10 and the disc 20.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the disc body 20 is also provided with several reinforcing ribs 24, which do not protrude from the skirt 23. Furthermore, the bottom of the disc body 20 is also provided with at least one transverse beam 25, which does not protrude from the skirt 23. Furthermore, the several reinforcing ribs 24 are staggered and connected to form several prismatic grooves. The transverse beam 25 and the reinforcing ribs 24 are connected at their intersections. The bottom of the transverse beam 25 and the reinforcing ribs 24 are flush with the skirt 23. Through the reinforcing ribs 24 and the transverse beam 25, the structural strength of the disc body 20 is increased and its load-bearing capacity is improved.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the top of the disc body 20 is provided with a flange 26, and the top of the support 10 is provided with a notch 15. The end of the flange 26 abuts against the notch 15, so that the support 10 cannot tilt outward after installation. At the same time, due to the fit between the inclined surface 14 and the inclined wall 21, the support 10 cannot tilt inward. Moreover, the skirt 23 is stuck in the limiting groove, the top of the support 10 is stuck in the flange 26, and the elastic buckle 11 is stuck in the slot 22, so that the support 10 cannot move relative to the disc body 20 in the vertical direction, thus ensuring the reliability of the installation of the support 10 and the disc body 20.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, several grooves are provided on the outer side wall of the support 10. By providing grooves on the support 10, the material consumption of the support 10 is reduced, and the wall of the groove forms a function similar to a reinforcing rib, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the support 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the support 10 is provided with a positioning boss 16 that can be placed into the receiving groove of the tray body 20, and the positioning boss 16 has a positioning inclined surface 17 that fits against the inner side wall of the tray body 20. That is to say, the operator can stack the silkworm trays according to actual needs. Under normal circumstances, after the silkworm trays are assembled, the support 10 and the tray body 20 are not disassembled during long-term use. At this time, when the silkworm trays are stacked, the positioning boss 16 of the support 10 enters into the receiving groove of the tray body 20, and the positioning inclined surface 17 fits against the inner side wall of the tray body 20, thereby preventing the stacked silkworm trays from shaking and eliminating the need for long-term use. After using the silkworm tray, since there is a support 10 on the silkworm tray, it takes up a lot of space when the silkworm trays are stacked and stored. Therefore, in this embodiment, the support 10 and the tray body 20 can be disassembled. Disassembly is relatively convenient, and only the elastic buckle 11 needs to be installed. The disassembled support 10 can be stored separately. As for the disassembled tray body 20, since the cross-section of the tray body 20 is trapezoidal, the tray body 20 can be stacked. After stacking, the upper flange 26 contacts the lower flange 26. Therefore, the stacked tray body 20 takes up little space, and more tray bodies 20 can be stored in the same space.

[0037] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The support 10 is installed on the corresponding corner of the disc body 20. During installation, when the skirt 23 is inserted into the mounting slot 12, the elastic buckle 11 undergoes elastic deformation. When the elastic buckle 11 moves to align with the slot 22, the elastic buckle 11 enters the slot 22 under the action of elastic restoring force, thereby completing the installation of the disc body 20 and the support 10. At this time, the top of the support 10 is located inside the flange 26, and the end of the flange 26 abuts against the notch 15 on the top of the support 10, so that the support 10 cannot tilt outward after installation. At the same time, due to the fit between the inclined surface 14 and the inclined wall 21, the support 10 cannot... The support 10 is tilted inward, and the skirt 23 is locked in the limiting groove. The top of the support 10 is locked in the flange 26, and the elastic buckle 11 is locked in the slot 22. This prevents the support 10 from moving relative to the disc 20 in the vertical direction, thus ensuring the reliability of the installation of the support 10 and the disc 20. When disassembling, simply press the elastic buckle 11 with your hand to release it from the slot 22, and the support 10 can be removed. When long-term storage is required, the support 10 can be removed and the discs 20 can be stacked. This reduces the space occupied and allows more discs 20 to be stored in the same space. Moreover, the entire silkworm tray consists of only the disc 20 and the support 10, so separate storage is also convenient.

[0038] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
