Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding case technology, specifically to outdoor folding cases. Background Technology

[0002] Folding tables and boxes are frequently used for outdoor activities. When used outdoors, these tables and boxes need to be easy to store and carry, quick to fold and unfold, and have a large capacity. A search revealed a novel outdoor folding table and box in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217039254U, comprising a first tabletop, a second tabletop, and a storage box. A lid is fixed to the bottom of the first tabletop, and the storage box is located at the bottom of the lid. A handle is provided on the side of the storage box, and the lid and the storage box are secured by the handle. The first and second tabletops are connected by a hinge, and a base is fixed to the bottom of the second tabletop. Folding legs are mounted on the base and can fold around the base. The height of the folding legs matches the height of the storage box. This invention is easy to fold, simple to use, and can hold a large number of items, making it suitable for outdoor use.

[0003] However, in actual use, the lack of corresponding locking measures at the folding position makes it easy for the first and second desktop panels to loosen, which is not conducive to maintaining overall stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of existing folding cases lacking secure fastening functions before and after folding, this utility model provides an outdoor folding case.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An outdoor folding case includes a case body with top plates hinged to both sides of the case body, and handles connected to the outer walls of the two top plates respectively; a locking mechanism is provided at the connection between the case body and the top plates, the locking mechanism includes a knob, a shaft is connected to one side of the knob, one end of the shaft is provided with an external thread, and a nut is threaded to the shaft through the external thread.

[0007] Furthermore, a first shaft cylinder is installed at the top corner of the box body, and a second shaft cylinder is installed on each of the two adjacent sides of the top plates. The first shaft cylinder and the second shaft cylinder are respectively provided with through holes inside.

[0008] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it provides an installation channel and support structure for the shaft. This shaft sleeve design makes the hinge between the housing and the top plate more stable, ensuring that the top plate can rotate smoothly around the shaft during opening and closing, avoiding shaking or jamming.

[0009] Furthermore, the shaft is inserted inside the perforation.

[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it effectively connects the case body and the top plate together to form a stable hinged structure. The shaft acts as a rotation axis, allowing the top plate to open and close flexibly with it as the center. At the same time, in conjunction with the locking mechanism, it can be reliably fixed when the top plate is closed, ensuring that the folding case is structurally stable during use and carrying, and that the top plate will not loosen due to vibration or other factors.

[0011] Furthermore, the knob and the nut are located on opposite sides of the first shaft cylinder.

[0012] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that it makes it easy for operators to adjust the tightness of the shaft by rotating the knob from the outside. Tightening the nut can tightly connect the box and the top plate, while loosening the nut makes it easy to fold the box. At the same time, the design of the two sides makes the locking force more even, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the top plate and the box, and preventing loosening or damage caused by uneven force on one side.

[0013] Furthermore, a support plate is placed on the top surface of the box body. The support plate includes a top plate and a bottom plate. The bottom surface of the top plate is connected to the top surface of the bottom plate, forming a stepped shape.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the stepped structure enhances the strength and stability of the support plate, which can better support the items placed on it, avoid deformation or damage to the support plate due to excessive weight of the items, and improve the practicality of the outdoor folding box.

[0015] Furthermore, the handle is perpendicular to the top plate.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, by utilizing the vertical relationship between the handle and the top plate, the handle can play different roles in different states of the folding box, namely, facilitating the lifting of the folding box and facilitating the support of the top plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer edges of the two top plates are respectively provided with arc-shaped rounded corners.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it eliminates sharp edges and corners, which can effectively prevent scratches to users or damage to other items during use, thereby improving the safety of outdoor folding cases.

[0019] Furthermore, the height of the box is equal to the height of the handle.

[0020] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the top plate can remain flush with the top surface of the box after it is unfolded.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This type of outdoor folding case, through the cooperation of the top plate and locking mechanism, ensures that the case remains stable in different folded states. The top plate, hinged to both sides of the case, can be opened and closed flexibly, facilitating the adjustment of its position. This allows the handle on the top plate to serve different functions in different folding states: making it easy to lift the case and supporting the top plate. The locking mechanism consists of a knob, shaft, external thread, and nut that work together. By rotating the knob, the shaft is driven, and the connection between the nut and the external thread securely locks the case body and the top plate, preventing accidental movement of the top plate during outdoor use, ensuring the safety of the contents and guaranteeing stability in different folded states.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: an outdoor folding case, including a case body 100, with top plates 200 hinged to both sides of the case body 100, and handles 300 connected to the outer walls of the two top plates 200 respectively; a locking mechanism 400, which is located at the connection between the case body 100 and the top plates 200, the locking mechanism 400 includes a knob 4001, a shaft 4002 connected to one side of the knob 4001, an external thread 4003 at one end of the shaft 4002, and a nut 4004 threaded to the shaft 4002 through the external thread 4003; the top plates 200 hinged to both sides of the case body 100 can be opened and closed flexibly. This allows for easy adjustment of the position of the top plate 200, enabling the handle 300 on the top plate to serve different functions in different states of the folding case: facilitating the lifting of the folding case and supporting the top plate 200. The locking mechanism 400 consists of a knob 4001, a shaft 4002, an external thread 4003, and a nut 4004 that work together. By rotating the knob 4001, the shaft is driven, and the connection between the nut 4004 and the external thread 4003 securely locks the case body 100 to the top plate 200, preventing accidental movement of the top plate 200 during outdoor use, ensuring the safety of the contents of the case, and guaranteeing stability in different folding states.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, a first shaft cylinder 600 is installed at the top corner of the housing 100, and a second shaft cylinder 700 is installed on each adjacent side of the two top plates 200. The first shaft cylinder 600 and the second shaft cylinder 700 each have through holes inside, providing an installation channel and support structure for the shaft 4002. This shaft cylinder design makes the hinge connection between the housing and the top plate more stable, ensuring that the top plate can rotate smoothly around the shaft during opening and closing, avoiding shaking or jamming.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the shaft 4002 is inserted into the perforation, effectively connecting the case 100 and the top plate 200 together to form a stable hinged structure. The shaft acts as a rotating axis, allowing the top plate to open and close flexibly around it. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the locking mechanism 400, it reliably secures the top plate when closed, ensuring the folding case remains structurally stable during use and carrying, preventing the top plate from loosening due to vibration or other factors.

[0033] As an embodiment of this utility model, the knob 4001 and the nut 4004 are located on both sides of the first shaft cylinder 600, which makes it convenient for the operator to adjust the tightness of the shaft 4002 by rotating the knob from the outside. By tightening the nut, the box body 100 and the top plate 200 can be tightly connected, while loosening the nut makes it convenient to fold the box. At the same time, the design of the two sides makes the locking force more uniform, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the top plate and the box body, and preventing loosening or damage caused by uneven force on one side.

[0034] As an embodiment of this utility model, a support plate 500 is further placed on the top surface of the box 100. The support plate 500 includes a top plate 5001 and a bottom plate 5002. The bottom surface of the top plate 5001 is connected to the top surface of the bottom plate 5002, forming a stepped structure. The stepped structure enhances the strength and stability of the support plate, enabling it to better support the items placed on it, preventing the support plate from deforming or being damaged due to excessive weight of the items, and improving the practicality of the outdoor folding box.

[0035] As an embodiment of this utility model, the handle 300 is perpendicular to the top plate 200. By utilizing the perpendicular relationship between the handle 300 and the top plate 200, the handle 300 can play different roles in different states of the folding box, namely, to facilitate lifting the folding box and to facilitate supporting the top plate 200.

[0036] As an embodiment of this utility model, the outer edges of the two top plates 200 are respectively provided with arc-shaped rounded corners, which eliminates sharp corners and can effectively prevent scratches to users or damage to other items during use, thereby improving the safety of the outdoor folding box.

[0037] As an embodiment of this utility model, the height of the box body 100 is equal to the height of the handle 300, so that the top plate 200 can remain flush with the top surface of the box body 100 after being unfolded.

[0038] Specifically, the working principle of this type of outdoor folding case is as follows: During use, the first shaft cylinder 600 at the top corner of the case body 100 and the second shaft cylinder 700 on the adjacent side of the top plate 200 provide installation and support for the shaft rod 4002 through perforations. The shaft rod is inserted into these perforations, forming a stable hinged structure between the case body and the top plate, allowing the top plate to open and close flexibly. When carrying the folding case, the perpendicular handles 300 facilitate lifting. When the top plate is unfolded, the handles support the top plate, making it flush with the top surface of the case (because the height of the case body is equal to the height of the handles), thus expanding the usable area. After items are placed inside the case, the operator rotates the knob 4001 of the locking mechanism 400, causing the shaft rod 4002 to rotate. Utilizing the connection between the external thread 4003 at one end of the shaft rod and the nut 4004, the knob and nut are tightened on both sides of the first shaft cylinder, firmly locking the case body and the top plate, ensuring the safety of the items inside and preventing accidental movement of the top plate. The stepped support plate 500 on the top surface of the case provides enhanced strength and stability, supporting the placed items and preventing deformation due to heavy loads. Meanwhile, the rounded corners on the outer edge of the top plate effectively prevent scratches to users and damage to other items. All components work together to meet various needs for folding, carrying, and loading during outdoor use.
