Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water storage container technology, and specifically relates to a soft plastic container with a locking buckle. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, water containers are an indispensable key piece of equipment in a variety of outdoor activities such as outdoor adventure, hiking, camping and picnicking. At present, in the outdoor environment, water containers made of hard materials, such as common plastic buckets and metal water bottles, are sturdy and durable, but they have significant drawbacks in terms of carrying. These containers are often large in size and have a fixed shape, taking up a lot of space during storage and transportation.
[0003] For this reason, flexible plastic containers have gradually become a popular choice for outdoor water storage and transportation due to their unique advantages. Flexible plastic containers are generally made of flexible plastic materials. Their biggest feature is the convenience brought by their flexibility. They can be folded and stored flexibly. When not in use, they can be easily folded into a compact shape, which greatly saves space and makes them easy to carry and transport.
[0004] However, the flexible plastic containers currently on the market usually have a defect that urgently needs to be solved: although the flexible plastic containers can be folded and stored smoothly under the action of external force, they are difficult to maintain a stable shape after being folded. Due to the lack of an effective shape fixing structure, the flexible plastic containers are easy to return to their original shape or undergo irregular deformation, resulting in a reduction in the utilization efficiency of transportation space. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a soft plastic container with a locking mechanism. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to make the soft plastic container maintain a stable shape after folding.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a soft plastic container with a buckle, comprising a soft plastic container body, wherein a locking strap and a locking member are provided on the soft plastic container body, and both sides of the soft plastic container body have a first crease and a second crease. When the soft plastic container body is folded sequentially along the first crease and the second crease, the locking strap can be locked to the locking member. At this time, the locking strap cooperates with the locking member to keep the soft plastic container body in a folded shape.
[0007] In the aforementioned soft plastic container with a locking buckle, the locking member includes a support portion and a positioning portion. The positioning portion is disposed at the end of the support portion, and a locking hole is provided at one end of the locking band. The support portion passes through the locking hole, and the positioning portion can pass through the locking hole. The positioning portion is used to prevent the locking band from disengaging from the support portion.
[0008] In the aforementioned type of soft plastic container with a locking buckle, the end of the locking band has a sub-hook and loop fastener, and the locking element includes a female hook and loop fastener. When the body of the soft plastic container is folded sequentially along the first crease and the second crease, the sub-hook and loop fastener are bonded to the female hook and loop fastener.
[0009] In the aforementioned soft plastic container with a locking buckle, the end of the locking band has a magnetic block one, and the locking component includes a magnetic block two. When the main body of the soft plastic container is folded sequentially along the first crease and the second crease, the magnetic block one and the magnetic block two are magnetically attracted to each other.
[0010] In the aforementioned type of soft plastic container with a locking mechanism, a positioning shaft is provided on the main body of the soft plastic container, and one end of the locking strap is rotatably connected to the positioning shaft.
[0011] In the aforementioned type of soft plastic container with a locking mechanism, the positioning shaft has an air hole that communicates with the main body of the soft plastic container, and a cap for sealing the air hole is threaded onto the positioning shaft.
[0012] In the aforementioned type of soft plastic container with a locking mechanism, an indicator portion is provided on the main body of the soft plastic container. The main body of the soft plastic container is pressed and pushed from the indicator portion along the length direction of the second crease, causing it to fold along the first crease.
[0013] In the aforementioned type of lockable soft plastic container, the main body of the soft plastic container is provided with a handle, the main body of the soft plastic container is provided with a water outlet, and the main body of the soft plastic container is provided with an annular connecting part for connecting with the lid, the annular connecting part surrounding the outside of the water outlet.
[0014] In the aforementioned type of lockable soft plastic container, the main body of the soft plastic container includes, from the outside to the inside, an outer layer, a buffer layer, and an inner layer. The outer layer and the inner layer are both made of LDPE material, and the buffer layer is made of EPP material.
[0015] In the aforementioned soft plastic container with a locking mechanism, the inner wall of the annular connecting part is provided with a supporting protrusion ring. A filter element for filtering water flow is detachably placed on the upper surface of the supporting protrusion ring. The filter element blocks the water inlet. The filter element includes a sieve plate and a filter screen. The filter screen is disposed on the lower surface of the sieve plate, and the lower surface of the filter screen abuts against the upper surface of the supporting protrusion ring.
[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows:
[0017] After folding the main body of the soft plastic container along crease one and crease two, tighten the locking strap to the locking device.

[0026] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] A type of soft plastic container with a locking mechanism, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the soft plastic container body 1 includes a fold 1 on both sides and a fold 2 on both sides. The soft plastic container body 1 can be folded along the fold 1 and the fold 2 in sequence. In this embodiment, the folded shape of the soft plastic container body 1 is a cuboid.
[0029] The soft plastic container body 1 is provided with an indicator 17. Pressing and pushing the soft plastic container body 1 along the length direction of crease 2 3 from the indicator 17 will cause it to fold along crease 2. In actual folding operation, the indicator 17 can not only guide the user, that is, help the user quickly determine the position of the pressure force, but also allow the user to hold the indicator 17 to complete the folding operation of the soft plastic container body 1 along crease 2, making it more convenient to use.
[0030] The soft plastic container body 1 is provided with a handle 12, and a water outlet 13 is provided on the soft plastic container body 1. The soft plastic container body 1 is provided with an annular connecting part 14 for connecting with the cover. The annular connecting part 14 surrounds the outside of the water outlet 13, that is, the cover is connected to the annular connecting part 14 so that the cover blocks the water outlet 13.
[0031] The soft plastic container body 1 is provided with a locking band 4 and a locking component 5. The soft plastic container body 1 is provided with a positioning shaft 11. One end of the locking band 4 is rotatably connected to the positioning shaft 11, and the other end of the locking band 4 is provided with a locking hole 6.
[0032] When the main body 1 of the soft plastic container is folded along crease 1 2 and crease 2 3 in sequence, the locking strap 4 can be locked to the locking member 5. At this time, the locking strap 4 and the locking member 5 keep the main body 1 of the soft plastic container in a folded shape.
[0033] The locking member 5 includes a support part 51 and a positioning part 52. The positioning part 52 is disposed at the end of the support part 51. The support part 51 passes through the locking hole 6, and the positioning part 52 can pass through the locking hole 6. The positioning part 52 is used to prevent the locking band 4 from disengaging from the support part 51.
[0034] It should be noted that since one end of the locking strap 4 is rotatably connected to the positioning shaft 11, it not only positions this end of the locking strap 4, but also allows the locking strap 4 to rotate flexibly around the positioning shaft 11, facilitating the subsequent cooperation between the locking strap 4 and the locking member 5. The restriction of the other end of the locking strap 4 by the support part 51 and the positioning part 52 ensures that this end of the locking strap 4 and the locking member 5 maintain a stable relative position. At this time, the restriction effect of the locking strap 4 on the folded soft plastic container ensures that the main body 1 of the soft plastic container maintains a stable shape after folding, facilitating transportation and storage.
[0035] When it is necessary to unfold the soft plastic container body 1, the user only needs to make the positioning part 52 pass through the locking hole 6, so that the locking band 4 can be disengaged from the locking member 5, and the soft plastic container body 1 can be unfolded again.
[0036] In this embodiment, the positioning part 52 is in the shape of a frustum, and the inclined structure of the frustum-shaped surface makes it easier for the positioning part 52 to pass through the locking hole 6.
[0037] The soft plastic container body 1 consists of an outer layer, a buffer layer, and an inner layer from the outside to the inside. Both the outer and inner layers are made of LDPE material, and the buffer layer is made of EPP material. The buffer layer can effectively buffer external impact forces, thereby effectively enhancing the pressure resistance and durability of the soft plastic container body 1.
[0038] The inner wall of the annular connecting part 14 is provided with a supporting protrusion ring 15. A filter element 16 for filtering water flow is detachably placed on the upper surface of the supporting protrusion ring 15. The filter element 16 covers the water inlet 13. The filter element 16 includes a sieve plate 161 and a filter screen 162. The filter screen 162 is located on the lower surface of the sieve plate 161. The lower surface of the filter screen 162 abuts against the upper surface of the supporting protrusion ring 15. The supporting protrusion ring 15 supports the filter element 16, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the filter element 16. It should be noted that in outdoor environments, water sources are prone to contain impurities. When water is poured into the soft plastic container body 1 from the water inlet 13, the water passes through the sieve plate 161 and the filter screen 162 in sequence. The sieve plate 161 and the filter screen 162 intercept the impurities in the water, thereby filtering the water entering the soft plastic container body 1. After filling, the filter element 16 can be directly removed and cleaned. The operation is simple and can improve the cleanliness of the water, effectively enhancing the user experience.
[0039] Furthermore, the positioning shaft 11 is provided with an air hole 19 that connects to the soft plastic container body 1. A cap 18 for sealing the air hole 19 is threaded onto the positioning shaft 11. When it is necessary to pour water out of the soft plastic container body 1 through the water outlet 13, if the water flow is obstructed due to the imbalance of air pressure inside and outside the soft plastic container body 1, the cap 18 can be loosened to open the air hole 19, allowing external air to enter the soft plastic container body 1 through the air hole 19, thereby balancing the air pressure inside and outside the soft plastic container body 1 and ensuring that the water can be poured out smoothly from the water outlet 13.
[0040] Example 2:
[0041] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that, as Figure 6 As shown, the end of the locking strap 4 has a sub-hook and loop fastener 7, and the locking element 5 includes a female hook and loop fastener 8. When the soft plastic container body 1 is folded along crease 1 2 and crease 2 3 in sequence, the sub-hook and loop fastener 7 and the female hook and loop fastener 8 are bonded together. That is, through the bonding action of the sub-hook and loop fastener 7 and the female hook and loop fastener 8, this end of the locking strap 4 is fixed, so that the locking strap 4 restricts the folded soft plastic container and ensures that the soft plastic container body 1 maintains a stable shape after folding.
[0042] Example 3:
[0043] The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is that, as Figure 7As shown, the end of the locking band 4 has a magnetic block 9, and the locking element 5 includes a magnetic block 10. When the soft plastic container body 1 is folded along crease 2 and crease 3 in sequence, the magnetic blocks 9 and 10 attract each other. The magnetic blocks 9 and 10 are magnetically attracted, that is, through the magnetic attraction between the magnetic blocks 9 and 10, this end of the locking band 4 is fixed, so that the locking band 4 restricts the folded soft plastic container and ensures that the soft plastic container body 1 maintains a stable shape after folding.
