Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding container technology, and more specifically, to a base-type folding container. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial piece of transportation equipment in the logistics industry, shipping containers inevitably experience empty transport, resulting in a waste of transportation resources. Foldable containers were developed to address this issue, as they can be repeatedly folded and reused. Compared to traditional containers, foldable containers occupy less transport space, thus reducing transportation costs.
[0003] Existing collapsible containers can easily fold their left and right side panels using a hinge structure, but the front and rear doors require large equipment to fold, which greatly limits their operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a base-type folding container to solve one or more of the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A base-type folding container, including
[0007] The main body includes a bottom plate, a left side plate, a right side plate, a front door, and a rear door, which are hinged sequentially from bottom to top. The bottom plate and the left side plate are folded or unfolded about the left side of the bottom plate. The right side plate and the bottom plate are folded or unfolded about the right side of the bottom plate. The front door and the bottom plate are folded or unfolded about the front end of the bottom plate. The rear door and the left side plate are folded or unfolded about the rear end of the bottom plate.
[0008] The top plate, which is set separately, is connected to the corner posts of the main body.
[0009] Furthermore, the left side plate and the right side plate are vertically offset, and the height difference between the left side plate and the right side plate is 20mm.
[0010] Furthermore, the left side plate and the right side plate are respectively hinged to the left and right sides of the base plate via a rotating seat.
[0011] Furthermore, both the front and rear doors have movable grooves at their bottom ends, and the two ends of the inner side of the movable grooves are correspondingly hinged to the inner side of the corner posts at the front or rear end of the base plate via flip blocks.
[0012] Furthermore, a positioning post is provided at the top of the corner post, and the positioning post abuts against the flipped block after it has been flipped.
[0013] Furthermore, the flipping block is connected to a web plate at one end, and a through slot is provided at the other end of the web plate. The web plate passes through the limiting member on the side of the base plate and is bolted to the limiting seat fixed on the side of the base plate.
[0014] Furthermore, the bottom plate has a side chord top plate on its side, and the front and rear doors are folded and rest on the side chord top plate.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom side of the base plate is provided with a side chord base plate, and the side chord base plate is provided with a plurality of handles arranged in an array.
[0016] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: by using a hinge mechanism, the container top panel is made independent, the front and rear doors are folded into one layer, and each of the two side panels is folded into one layer, reducing transportation costs and storage space. The front and rear doors can be opened or folded without the need for large equipment, increasing operational flexibility. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Example:
[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0025] A base-type folding container includes an independently set top plate 60 and a main body. When unfolding or folding, the top plate 60 is first removed, and then connected to the corner post 11 of the main body after the main body is unfolded or folded, and fixed by a pin, which facilitates better stacking and transportation. The total height of the folded container is 1016.5mm.
[0026] The main body includes a bottom plate 10, a left side plate 20, a right side plate 30, a front door 40, and a rear door 50, which are hinged together from bottom to top.
[0027] The front and rear faces of the base plate 10 are respectively hinged to a front door 40 and a rear door 50. The bottom of the front door 40 and rear door 50 has movable grooves. To allow space for flipping, the two ends of the inner side of the movable grooves are correspondingly hinged to the inner sides of the corner posts 11 at the front or rear of the base plate 10 via flipping blocks 70. The top of the corner posts 11 of the base plate 10 has a positioning post 12, which abuts against the flipping block 70 after flipping to maintain structural stability. The front door 40 and rear door 50 are flipped or unfolded about the hinge neutral line of the corresponding flipping block 70. The end of the flipping block 70 is connected to a web plate 71, and the other end of the web plate 71 has a through slot. The web plate 71 is bolted to a limiting seat 73 fixed to the side of the base plate 10. This ensures stability during folding, preventing the front door 40 and rear door 50 from accidentally lifting due to bumps. When unfolding, the bolt is removed to complete subsequent operations. The web plate 71 also passes through the limiting member 72 on the side of the bottom plate 10. The limiting member 72 is a component that is open in the center longitudinal direction, so that the web plate 71 can be restricted and guided during the unfolding of the front door 40 and the rear door 50.
[0028] The top side of the base plate 10 is provided with a side chord top plate 13. The side chord top plate 13 is a plate structure with a central arch. The recessed parts at the front and rear ends overlap the edge of the front door 40 or the rear door 50, keeping the outer side of the door flush with the arched part after folding, which facilitates flat storage after folding and makes the placement of the top plate 60 smoother. The bottom side of the base plate 10 is also provided with a side chord bottom plate 14. The side chord bottom plate 14 is provided with several handles. The handles are divided into two types: individually set and staggered from the relevant parts of the base plate 10. This facilitates the lifting and transportation of the folded container, and can also be transported with forklifts or other equipment by means of the slots at the bottom.
[0029] The left and right sides of the base plate 10 are hinged to the left side plate 20 and the right side plate 30 respectively through hinge seats arranged in a longitudinal array on each side. The left side plate 20 and the right side plate 30 on both sides have a height difference of 20mm, which facilitates folding and stacking.
[0030] When unfolding, remove the top panel 60, unfold the front door 40 and rear door 50 in sequence, then unfold the two side panels in sequence, and finally close the top panel 60 with the pin to secure it. When folding, remove the top panel 60, flip the two side panels in sequence, then flip the front door 40 and rear door 50 in sequence, and finally close the top panel 60.
[0031] It should be noted that this specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
