[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer box technology, specifically to a transfer box that is easy to unload. Background Technology

[0002] Transfer containers are used to transport materials, waste, or garbage, and unloading is a crucial step in the transfer process. There are currently three methods for unloading transfer containers: the first is to pour directly through the top opening; the second is to open from the side and pour; and the third is to open from the bottom. Currently, bottom-opening unloading is generally achieved by hydraulically driving the bottom of the transfer container, which is relatively cumbersome and costly. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a transfer box that is easy to unload, so that the bottom opening method for unloading is simpler, more reliable, and less costly.

[0004] This utility model provides a transfer box that facilitates unloading, comprising:

[0005] The box body includes a bottom plate and side panels surrounding the upper part of the bottom plate. The bottom plate has a first side and a second side that are disposed opposite to each other. The first side of the bottom plate is hinged to the lower end of the side panel. The lower end of the side panel near the second side of the bottom plate is provided with a locking hook engagement part.

[0006] A locking block is hinged to the lower side of the second side of the base plate. The outer end of the locking block is provided with a locking hook portion that extends upward to the outer side of the locking hook engagement portion and engages with the locking hook engagement portion.

[0007] The unlocking component is located below the base plate and connected to the inner end of the lock block. When triggered, it drives the lock block to rotate, causing the lock hook portion on the lock block to disengage from the lock hook engagement portion.

[0008] Furthermore, the unlocking component is a rod, with one end hinged to the lower side of the base plate near the first side, and the other end connected to the inner end of the lock block. When the unlocking component swings up and down, it can cause the locking hook part of the lock block to disengage or engage with the locking hook mating part.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner end of the locking block is provided with a sliding shaft, and the end of the unlocking component connected to it is provided with an oblong hole that mates with the sliding shaft; or,

[0010] The inner end of the lock block is provided with a waist-shaped hole, and the end of the unlocking component connected to it is provided with a sliding shaft that mates with the waist-shaped hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the base plate includes a support frame and a panel disposed on the upper side of the support frame. One end of the unlocking member is hinged to the support frame, and the other end of the unlocking member can swing upward and be stored in the support frame. The lower side of the support frame near the second side is provided with a lock block mounting groove, and the lower part of the outer end of the lock block is hinged to the lock block mounting groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking block is provided with a notch for avoiding the edge of the support frame.

[0013] Furthermore, a torsion spring is provided at the hinge point between the unlocking component and the base plate to provide a torsional elastic force that drives the outer end of the lock block to swing upward.

[0014] Furthermore, the locking hook engagement part is a U-shaped rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the base plate is provided with rollers.

[0016] Furthermore, the upper end of the side panel is provided with a handle for inserting forklift forks.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0018] During normal loading, the locking hook on the lock block engages with the locking hook mating part at the lower end of the side panel, locking the bottom plate of the box and preventing it from opening automatically. When the transfer box moves to the unloading area for unloading, the equipment first lifts the box and moves it above the unloading area. Then, the bottom of the box is pressed against the blocking component in the unloading area. The blocking component in the unloading area touches the unlocking component at the bottom of the box, causing the upper part of the outer end of the lock block to swing outward, disengaging the locking hook on the lock block from the locking hook mating part at the lower end of the side panel. The bottom plate of the box is then unlocked, and the box is lifted upward, automatically opening the bottom plate. The contents inside the box fall from the bottom of the box to the unloading area, thus achieving unloading. Compared with existing technologies, the bottom-opening unloading method used in this application is simpler, more reliable, and lower in cost. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a transfer box that facilitates unloading, including a box body 100, a locking block 200, and an unlocking component 300.

[0030] The housing 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and side panels 120 disposed around the upper side of the bottom plate 110. The bottom plate 110 has a first side portion 111 and a second side portion 112 disposed opposite to each other. The first side portion 111 of the bottom plate 110 is hinged to the lower end of the side panel 120. The lower end of the side panel 120 near the second side portion 112 of the bottom plate 110 is provided with a locking hook engagement portion 121.

[0031] The locking block 200 is hinged to the lower side of the second side 112 of the base plate 110. The outer end of the locking block 200 is provided with a locking hook portion 210 that extends upward to the outer side of the locking hook engagement portion 121 and engages with the locking hook engagement portion 121.

[0032] The unlocking component 300 is located below the base plate 110 and connected to the inner end of the lock block 200. When triggered, it drives the lock block 200 to rotate, causing the lock hook portion 210 on the lock block 200 to disengage from the lock hook engagement portion 121.

[0033] During normal loading, the locking hook portion 210 on the locking block 200 engages with the locking hook mating portion 121 at the lower end of the side panel 120 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown), the bottom plate 110 of the box 100 is locked and cannot be opened automatically; when the transfer box moves to the unloading area for unloading, the box 100 is first lifted by the equipment and moved above the unloading area, then the bottom of the box 100 is pressed against the blocking part in the unloading area. The blocking part in the unloading area touches the unlocking part 300 at the bottom of the box 100, causing the upper part of the outer end of the locking block 200 to swing outward, so that the locking hook part 210 on the locking block 200 disengages from the locking hook engagement part 121 at the lower end of the side panel 120, and the bottom plate 110 of the box 100 is unlocked (as shown). Figure 5 (As shown); then lift the box 100 upwards, and the bottom plate 110 of the box 100 will automatically open (as shown). Figure 3 As shown, the items inside the container 100 leak from the bottom of the container 100 to the unloading area, thus achieving unloading. Compared with the prior art, the bottom-opening unloading method adopted in this application is simpler, more reliable, and lower in cost.

[0034] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The unlocking component 300 is a rod. One end of the unlocking component 300 is hinged to the lower side of the base plate 110 near the first side 111, and the other end of the unlocking component 300 is connected to the inner end of the lock block 200. When the unlocking component 300 swings up and down, it can cause the lock hook part 210 of the lock block 200 to disengage or engage with the lock hook mating part 121.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, under normal conditions, the locking hook portion 210 on the locking block 200 engages with the locking hook mating portion 121 at the lower end of the side panel 120; as Figure 5 As shown, when the bottom of the box 100 presses against the blocking member in the unloading area, the blocking member pushes the rod-shaped unlocking member 300 to swing upward. The upward swing of the unlocking member 300 will cause the inner end of the locking block 200 to swing upward, and the locking hook part 210 at the outer end of the locking block 200 to swing outward, thereby causing the locking hook part 210 to disengage from the locking hook mating part 121, thus unlocking the bottom plate 110.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the inner end of the locking block 200 is provided with a sliding shaft 220, and the end of the unlocking member 300 connected to it is provided with an oblong hole 310 that mates with the sliding shaft 220. Alternatively, the inner end of the locking block 200 can also be provided with an oblong hole 310, and the end of the unlocking member 300 connected to it can be provided with a sliding shaft 220 that mates with the oblong hole 310. When the unlocking member 300 swings up and down, it can drive the locking block 200 to rotate. During the linkage between the locking block 200 and the unlocking member 300, the sliding shaft 220 will slide along the oblong hole 310, which can prevent the locking block 200 and the unlocking member 300 from locking together and being unable to link.

[0037] It is understandable that, in addition to the connection between the sliding shaft 220 and the waist-shaped hole 310, the locking block 200 and the unlocking component 300 can also adopt a structure in which a connecting piece is hinged between the locking block 200 and the unlocking component 300. This structure can also prevent the locking block 200 and the unlocking component 300 from locking together and realize the linkage between the locking block 200 and the unlocking component 300.

[0038] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base plate 110 includes a support frame 113 and a panel 114 disposed on the upper side of the support frame 113. One end of the unlocking member 300 is hinged to the support frame 113, and the other end of the unlocking member 300 can swing upward and be stored in the support frame 113. The lower side of the support frame 113 near the second side 112 is provided with a lock block mounting groove 115, and the lower part of the lock block 200 near the outer end is hinged to the lock block mounting groove 115.

[0039] When the locking hook portion 210 of the locking block 200 locks with the locking hook mating portion 121 at the lower end of the side panel 120, one end of the unlocking member 300 near the first side portion 111 of the bottom plate 110 extends into the support frame 113, and the other end near the second side portion 112 of the bottom plate 110 extends out of the support frame 113. During unloading, the section of the unlocking member 300 near the second side portion 112 of the bottom plate 110 presses against the blocking member in the unloading area, and the unlocking member 300 swings with a large amplitude, which is sufficient to drive the locking block. The requirements for unlocking 200: After unloading, a section of the support frame 113 near the first side 111 of the bottom plate 110 is supported on the blocking part in the unloading area. When the box 100 is lowered, the bottom plate 110 will automatically close under the weight of the box 100. When the bottom plate 110 is closed, the blocking part will have little or no effect on the unlocking part 300. At this time, the locking block 200 can automatically reset the locking state and realize the re-locking of the bottom plate 110.

[0040] Of course, after the container 100 has finished unloading, the bottom plate 110 can be closed and relocked by placing the container 100 on the ground.

[0041] Optionally, the locking block 200 is provided with a notch 230 to avoid the edge of the support frame 113, so as to prevent the support frame 113 from hindering the swing of the locking block 200.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, a torsion spring 240 is provided at the hinge between the unlocking member 300 and the base plate 110 to provide a torsional elastic force that drives the outer end of the locking block 200 to swing upward. The purpose of providing the torsion spring 240 is to enable the locking block 200 to smoothly reset and maintain the state in which the locking hook portion 210 and the locking hook mating portion 121 are locked.

[0043] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The locking hook engagement part 121 is a U-shaped rod. The locking hook part 210 on the locking block 200 is hooked onto the U-shaped rod to achieve locking.

[0044] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 To facilitate the movement of the transfer box, the bottom of the base plate 110 is equipped with rollers 130.

[0045] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The upper end of the side panel 120 is provided with a handle 140 for inserting forklift forks. When the transfer box is emptying its contents, the forklift forks can be inserted into the handle 140 at the upper end of the transfer box, and the transfer box can be lifted by the forklift.

[0046] It is understood that the specific use of the transfer box in this embodiment is not limited, and it can be a material transfer box, a waste transfer box, or a garbage transfer box, etc.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
