Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cardboard box technology, and in particular relates to a cardboard box that is easy to stack in multiple layers. Background Technology
[0002] In the stacking of cardboard boxes in logistics warehousing, precise center alignment of the upper and lower boxes is a core technical requirement to ensure stacking stability and improve space utilization; existing stacking solutions for heavy-duty boxes are mainly divided into two categories:
[0003] The first type of solution lacks a positioning and stacking device, relying on visual observation and adjustment of the container position during forklift handling, which can only achieve basic alignment. Because this solution lacks an active guiding structure, there is a risk of the upper and lower containers sliding relative to each other and collapsing during transport vibrations.
[0004] The second type of solution incorporates auxiliary stacking structures such as snap-fit and convex-concave joints. These structures improve stacking stability through limiting and preventing displacement, thus solving the problem of cargo displacement caused by transportation vibrations. However, these structures are mostly passive limiting designs. In actual forklift operation, the position of the box still needs to be repeatedly adjusted to correct alignment deviations, failing to achieve the efficient goal of "automatic alignment." The cost of manual intervention and time remains high.
[0005] In addition, after disassembly of existing cardboard boxes under empty load, each component (such as top and bottom covers, partitions, side panels, etc.) is usually stored separately to compress space, lacking an integrated storage structure. The disassembled components are prone to mixed use and confusion of specifications, which are material management problems. When reassembling the boxes, each component needs to be matched one by one, which is inefficient. Therefore, designers need to develop a cardboard box structure with high alignment efficiency, high stacking stability, and the ability to uniformly store components in the empty box state. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a cardboard box that facilitates multi-layer stacking, has high alignment efficiency and high stacking stability, and can achieve unified storage of components even when the box is empty.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A cardboard box that is easy to stack in multiple layers includes four side panels, a bottom panel and a cover panel. The cover panel is provided with upper right-angle seats at each of its four corners, and the bottom panel is provided with lower right-angle seats at each of its four corners.
[0009] Each of the upper right-angle seats has a recessed cavity facing the center of the cover plate, and each of the lower right-angle seats has a downwardly extending boss, the outer side wall slope of the boss being adapted to the inner side wall slope of the recessed cavity.
[0010] In the stacked state, the upper right-angle seat covers the outer side of the lower right-angle seat. Through the embracing coverage of the boss by the cavity and the inclined surface adaptation, the horizontal displacement of the upper and lower boxes is forcibly constrained, realizing automatic center alignment in the initial stage of stacking.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom plate and cover plate of the box body both have edging, and the cavity formed between the two edgings can accommodate four edging plates plus four edge strips; the lower end of the upper right-angle seat and the upper end of the lower right-angle seat are both bent inward to form a U-shaped slot, and the edging is embedded and engaged in the U-shaped slot, realizing quick assembly and disassembly by hand.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall slope of the boss has a mounting groove, in which an elastic limiting block is installed. The inner wall slope of the cavity has an insertion hole that mates with the elastic limiting block. The elastic limiting block is an integrally formed bent elastic structure, including a limiting trigger head that protrudes from the outer wall slope of the boss in normal operation. Its lower end face is a slope, and the upper end face of the limiting trigger head has a U-shaped continuously bent elastic wall. The upper end of the elastic wall away from the limiting trigger head has a connecting part, and the connecting part is provided with a mounting post. The mounting post protrudes from the mounting groove and is locked to the horizontal bearing surface of the lower right-angle seat by fasteners. The elastic limiting block performs a three-stage action: "sloping surface trigger - elastic retraction - precise locking". In the initial stacking stage, the cavity slope squeezes the slope of the limiting trigger head, driving the elastic block to retract and avoid. After alignment, the elastic block uses its own rebound force to lock into the insertion hole, replacing manual alignment and achieving "automatic locking without intervention", thus counteracting the tendency of transportation vibration displacement.
[0013] Furthermore, the two adjacent inner walls of the concave cavity are respectively provided with a first guide slope and a second guide slope; the two adjacent outer walls of the protrusion are respectively provided with a third guide slope and a fourth guide slope. The first guide slope is parallel to the third guide slope, and the second guide slope is parallel to the fourth guide slope, so as to guide the automatic alignment during stacking. The double slope group forms a cross guide constraint. Even if there is a deviation in the forklift alignment, the upper and lower slopes can still forcibly correct the position of the box through the "sliding-correction-alignment" process during stacking.
[0014] Furthermore, the lower end face of the upper right-angle seat and the upper end face of the lower right-angle seat are respectively provided with corresponding upper grooves and lower grooves; a snap-fit female seat is fixed on the bottom surface of the lower groove, the snap-fit female seat includes a connecting plate and a snap-fit piece at its lower end, the two ends of the snap-fit piece are suspended to form a snap-fit space; a snap-fit male component is fixed on the bottom surface of the upper groove, the snap-fit male component is an insert block that is adapted to be inserted into the snap-fit space and forms an elastic snap-fit.
[0015] Furthermore, adjacent side panels of the four side panels are connected by an edge banding strip. The edge banding strip includes a first vertical strip and a second vertical strip connected vertically. The second vertical strip extends inward with an L-shaped mounting strip. The vertical section of the mounting strip is parallel to the first vertical strip, and the horizontal section is parallel to the second vertical strip. The mounting strip forms a slot with the first vertical strip and the second vertical strip, respectively. The ends of two adjacent side panels are inserted into the slots. The same edge banding strip is compatible with the connection of adjacent side panels, reducing the number of components. After disassembly, the side panels can be pulled out along the slot direction and uniformly stored in the perimeter of the base plate / cover plate.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. The inclined surface adaptation structure of the upper right-angle seat cavity and the lower right-angle seat boss of this utility model achieves automatic center alignment by wrapping around the core during stacking, solving the problem of large visual alignment deviation in traditional methods and improving stacking efficiency.
[0018] 2. The elastic limiting block of this utility model forms a stable lock by cooperating with the cavity insertion hole through a three-stage action of triggering, retraction and locking, which counteracts transportation vibration and solves the problem of easy scattering when stacked.
[0019] 3. The side panels of this utility model are detachably connected by edge banding strips. After all the side panels are disassembled, they are placed between the bottom plate and the cover plate, and then connected by the upper groove snap-fit sub-part and the lower groove snap-fit female seat to achieve integrated storage of empty box components.
[0020] 4. The double guide inclined plane assembly and elastic snap-fit structure of this utility model are adapted to operational deviations. Through sliding correction and angle absorption, the trouble of repeated adjustments is solved, and the adaptability of stacking scenarios is improved. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Furthermore, the outer wall slope of the boss 5-1 has a mounting groove, in which an elastic limiting block 6 is installed. The inner wall slope of the cavity 4-1 has an insertion hole 4-1.1 that mates with the elastic limiting block 6.

The elastic limiting block 6 has a three-stage action of "sloping surface triggering - elastic retraction - precise locking": In the initial stacking stage, the sloping surface of the cavity 4-1 squeezes the sloping surface of the limiting trigger head 6-1, driving the elastic block to retract and avoid; after alignment, the elastic block uses its own rebound force to lock into the insertion hole 4-1.1, replacing manual alignment and realizing "automatic locking without intervention", which counteracts the tendency of transportation vibration displacement.
