Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of foldable storage cages for logistics warehousing, and in particular to a foldable storage cage for logistics warehousing. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of global trade and the rapid rise of e-commerce, the logistics and warehousing industry is facing an ever-increasing demand for cargo storage and turnover. Foldable storage cages, as an important type of logistics equipment, are widely used in various warehouses, distribution centers, and production workshops because they can be folded up to save space when not in use, while providing stable cargo storage when in use.

[0003] Traditional foldable storage cages often employ a piece-by-piece folding method. First, it is necessary to unlock the latches or hooks in specific locations, then rotate one side of the mesh and frame inward or outward at a certain angle, and then perform similar operations on adjacent parts. This piece-by-piece folding method is very cumbersome, and operators need to spend a lot of time and energy to remember the order of each step and execute it accurately, which further increases the complexity of the operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a foldable storage cage for logistics warehousing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a foldable storage cage for logistics warehousing, comprising a base plate, two first frames mounted on the base plate, two second frames hinged to the first frames, and a mesh fixedly connected to each of the first and second frames. The base plate is provided with a folding structure, which mainly consists of two sliding grooves, both of which are formed on the base plate. A slider is provided on each side of one of the first frames, and the sliding groove is slidably connected to the slider. A limiting plate is provided on each side of one of the first frames, and the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the base plate. Two fixing plates are fixedly connected to each of the two second frames, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the two fixing plates via bearings. Connecting blocks are fixedly connected to each of the two second frames, and the connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. A screw is rotatably connected to one of the sliding grooves, and a motor is fixedly connected to the base plate, with the screw driven to rotate by the motor.

[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the output end of the motor is connected to the screw through a reducer and a connector. A battery is installed in the base plate to drive the motor. When the motor is started, the motor drives the screw to rotate, which in turn drives the slider to slide in the slide groove, causing one first frame to move closer to another first frame. At this time, the two second frames rotate and fold under the action of the rotating shaft, which can quickly fold the storage cage from all sides. This avoids the situation where the traditional foldable storage cage uses a piece-by-piece folding method, which requires the operator to spend a lot of time and energy to remember the order of each step and execute it accurately, thus increasing the complexity of operation.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the limiting plate, a limiting rod is provided in the limiting groove, the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the first frame, a U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the limiting plate, a rectangular block is provided in the U-shaped frame, and the rectangular block is fixedly connected to the first frame.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: after the storage cage is folded up on all four sides, the frame is pulled upwards to move the rectangular block away from the U-shaped frame. Then, the limiting rod is rotated to fix the frame on the bottom plate for horizontal placement and further folding.

[0009] Preferably, two second springs are sleeved on the rotating shaft, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the fixing plate, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the connecting block.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the storage cage is unfolded, the two second springs are in a twisted state. As the slider slides, the two second frames fold inward under the action of the second springs to prevent them from folding outward.

[0011] Preferably, the first frame is provided with a limiting structure, which is mainly composed of two circular grooves. The two circular grooves are respectively opened on both sides of the first frame, and a sliding rod is slidably inserted into the slider.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the first frame and the slider can be connected by inserting the slider into the corresponding circular groove, which makes it easier to move the first frame forward. After folding is completed, the slider is slid outward to separate the first frame from the slider, which facilitates the next folding step.

[0013] Preferably, slots are provided on both sides of the first frame, and the slots are adapted to the size of the slide rod.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the storage cage is folded and placed on the base plate, sliding the two slide rods will cause them to lock into the corresponding slots, which can limit the movement and make the folded storage cage more stable.

[0015] Preferably, a third spring is sleeved on the slide rod, one end of the third spring is fixedly connected to the slide rod, and the other end of the third spring is fixedly connected to the slider.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the slide bar is inserted into the circular groove and the slot, the third spring is in a stretched state. Therefore, the rebound force of the third spring acts on the slide bar, making the limit more stable.

[0017] Preferably, the inner wall of the U-shaped frame is provided with a slot, and a slotting rod is slidably inserted into the U-shaped frame, with a connecting rod fixedly connected to the two slotting rods.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that by pulling the connecting rod, the locking rod can be locked into the corresponding locking slot, which can limit the rectangular block and prevent the rectangular block from falling off the U-shaped frame when the storage cage is lifted upward.

[0019] Preferably, a fourth spring is sleeved on the locking rod, one end of the fourth spring is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and the other end of the fourth spring is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the locking rod is locked into the locking groove, the fourth spring is in a stretched state, so the rebound force of the fourth spring acts on the connecting rod, making the limiting more stable.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, by setting a folding structure, the output end of the motor is connected to the screw through a reducer and a connection. A battery is set in the base plate to drive the motor. When the motor is started, the motor drives the screw to rotate, which in turn drives the slider to slide in the slide groove, causing one first frame to move closer to another first frame. At this time, the two second frames rotate and fold under the action of the rotating shaft, which can quickly fold the four sides of the storage cage. This avoids the situation where the traditional foldable storage cage adopts a piece-by-piece folding method, which requires the operator to spend a lot of time and energy to remember the order of each step and execute it accurately, thus increasing the complexity of operation.

[0027] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, a foldable storage cage for logistics warehousing includes a base plate 1, on which two first frames 2 are provided, and two second frames 3 are hinged to the first frames 2. A wire mesh is fixedly connected to both the first frames 2 and the second frames 3.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4The base plate 1 is provided with a folding structure 4, which mainly consists of two sliding grooves 45, both of which are formed on the base plate 1. A slider 46 is provided on both sides of a first frame 2, and the sliding grooves 45 and sliders 46 are slidably connected. A limit plate 44 is provided on both sides of the first frame 2, and the limit plate 44 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. Two fixing plates 41 are fixedly connected to the two second frames 3, and a rotating shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the two fixing plates 41 via bearings. Connecting blocks 43 are fixedly connected to the two second frames 3, and the connecting blocks 43 are connected to the rotating shafts. A screw 47 is rotatably connected to a slide groove 45, and a motor 48 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The screw 47 is driven to rotate by the motor 48. The output end of the motor 48 is connected to the screw 47 through a reducer. A battery is installed in the base plate 1 to drive the motor 48. When the motor 48 is started, it drives the screw 47 to rotate, which in turn drives the slider 46 to slide in the slide groove 45, causing one first frame 2 to move closer to another first frame 2. At this time, the two second frames 3 rotate and fold under the action of the rotating shaft 42, thus quickly folding the four sides of the storage cage. This avoids the increased operational complexity caused by the traditional foldable storage cage's piece-by-piece folding method, which requires operators to spend a lot of time and effort remembering and accurately executing each step. The limiting plate 44 has a limiting groove 49, within which a limiting rod 410 is installed. The limiting rod 410 is fixedly connected to the first frame 2. A U-shaped frame 411 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 44, and a rectangular block 412 is installed within the U-shaped frame 411. The rectangular block 412 is fixedly connected to the first frame 2. After the storage cage is folded in place, it... Pull the frame up so that the rectangular block 412 is away from the U-shaped frame 411. Then rotate the limiting rod 410 so that the frame is fixed on the base plate 1 and placed horizontally. Further fold it. Two second springs 413 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 42. One end of the second spring 413 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 41, and the other end of the second spring 413 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 43. When the storage cage is unfolded, the two second springs 413 are in a twisted state. As the slider 46 slides, the two second frames 3 are folded inward under the action of the second springs 413 to prevent them from folding outward.

[0029] Reference Figures 2 to 4The first frame 2 is provided with a limiting structure 5, which mainly consists of two circular grooves 51. The two circular grooves 51 are respectively opened on both sides of the first frame 2. A sliding rod 52 is slidably inserted into the slider 46. The first frame 2 and the slider 46 are connected by inserting the sliding rod 52 into the corresponding circular groove 51, which facilitates the movement of the first frame 2 forward. After folding, the sliding rod 52 is slid outward to separate the first frame 2 from the slider 46, which is convenient for the next folding step. A slot 53 is opened on both sides of the first frame 2. The slot 53 is adapted to the size of the sliding rod 52. When the first frame 2 is folded and placed on the base plate 1, the two sliding rods 52 are slid to be inserted into the corresponding slots 53 to limit the movement and make the folded storage cage more stable. A third spring 54 is sleeved on the sliding rod 52. One end of the third spring 54 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 52, and the other end of the third spring 54 is fixedly connected to the slider 46. When the slide bar 52 is inserted into the circular groove 51 and the slot 53, the third spring 54 is in a stretched state. Therefore, the rebound force of the third spring 54 acts on the slide bar 52, making the limiting more stable. The inner wall of the U-shaped frame 411 is provided with a locking groove 56, and a locking rod 55 is slidably inserted into the U-shaped frame 411. The two locking rods 55 are fixedly connected to a connecting rod 57. By pulling the connecting rod 57, the locking rod 55 is locked into the corresponding locking groove 56, which can limit the rectangular... Block 412 is used for limiting to prevent the rectangular block 412 from detaching from the U-shaped frame 411 when the storage cage is lifted upward. A fourth spring 58 is sleeved on the locking rod 55. One end of the fourth spring 58 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 57, and the other end of the fourth spring 58 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 411. When the locking rod 55 is locked into the locking groove 56, the fourth spring 58 is in a stretched state. Therefore, the rebound force of the fourth spring 58 acts on the connecting rod 57, making the limiting more stable.

[0030] Working principle: The output end of motor 48 is connected to screw 47 via a reducer and a connector. A battery is installed in the base plate 1 to drive motor 48. When motor 48 is started, it drives screw 47 to rotate, which in turn drives slider 46 to slide in slide groove 45, causing one first frame 2 to move closer to another first frame 2. At this time, the two second frames 3 rotate and fold under the action of rotating shaft 42, thus quickly folding the storage cage from all sides. This avoids the increased complexity of operation caused by the traditional foldable storage cage which uses a piece-by-piece folding method, requiring operators to spend a lot of time and effort to remember the order of each step and execute it accurately. After the storage cage is folded from all sides, the frame is pulled upwards, so that rectangular block 412 is away from U-shaped frame 411. Then, the limiting rod 410 is rotated to fix the frame on the base plate 1 for horizontal placement and further folding. When the storage cage is unfolded, the two second springs 413 are in a twisted state. As slider 46 slides, the two second frames 3 are in a twisted state. The spring 413 folds inward to prevent it from folding outward. Inserting the slide rod 52 into the corresponding circular groove 51 connects the first frame 2 and the slider 46, facilitating the forward movement of the first frame 2. After folding, sliding the slide rod 52 outward separates the first frame 2 from the slider 46, facilitating the next folding step. When placed on the base plate 1 after folding, sliding the two slide rods 52 into the corresponding slots 53 limits their movement, making the folded storage cage more stable. The slide rod 52 is inserted into the circular groove 51. When the third spring 54 is in the slot 53, it is in a stretched state. Therefore, the rebound force of the third spring 54 acts on the slide rod 52, making the limit more stable. By pulling the connecting rod 57, the locking rod 55 is locked into the corresponding locking slot 56, which can limit the rectangular block 412 and prevent the rectangular block 412 from detaching from the U-shaped frame 411 when the storage cage is lifted upward. When the locking rod 55 is locked into the locking slot 56, the fourth spring 58 is in a stretched state. Therefore, the rebound force of the fourth spring 58 acts on the connecting rod 57, making the limit more stable.
