Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of box technology, and in particular to a foldable box. Background Technology

[0002] Containers are widely used in modern logistics, warehousing, and transportation. Traditional container structures are mostly fixed, occupying a lot of space when storing or transporting empty containers, leading to a significant increase in warehousing and transportation costs.

[0003] Several folding case designs have emerged in the market. However, existing folding cases still have many shortcomings. Some folding structures are complex, making folding and unfolding operations cumbersome and time-consuming; the connecting parts of some folding cases are not strong enough, and they are prone to loosening or deformation after loading items, affecting the stability and service life of the case.

[0004] Therefore, a foldable box design is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a foldable box. This box can be folded by simply removing four connectors. During use, the four connectors can effectively protect the walls of the box from deformation. Furthermore, the four flip-up panels facilitate the installation of the bottom plate after the box is unfolded.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A folding box includes two horizontal plates and two side plates. The two side plates are located on the left and right sides of the two horizontal plates. Outer plates are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the two horizontal plates and the front and rear sides of the two side plates. Arc-shaped blocks are provided on the left and right sides of the two horizontal plates. Multiple arc-shaped blocks are located on the front and rear sides of the two side plates respectively. A thin plate is fixedly connected to each arc-shaped block. A guide arc plate is fixedly connected to each thin plate. Connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of each horizontal plate and the top and bottom sides of each side plate. An arc-shaped rotating plate that cooperates with the guide arc plate is fixedly connected to each connecting block. The outer wall of each guide arc plate is in contact with the inner wall of the arc-shaped rotating plate.

[0008] Preferably, each outer plate and its corresponding connecting block are fixedly connected by a reinforcing rib, each reinforcing rib being T-shaped, and each reinforcing rib being fixedly connected to the corresponding horizontal plate and side plate.

[0009] Preferably, each of the arc-shaped blocks has a connector at its upper end, each connector is arc-shaped, and each connector has a slot at its lower end.

[0010] Preferably, the width of the horizontal plate and the side plate are the same, and the width of the slot is the same as the width of the horizontal plate and the side plate.

[0011] Preferably, a flip plate is rotatably connected to the adjacent sides of the two horizontal plates and the adjacent sides of the two side plates.

[0012] Preferably, each of the flip plates is provided with multiple threaded holes.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this device are:

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, by rotating the two ends of the two side panels and two horizontal panels to four arc-shaped blocks, the box can be folded and stored, reducing the storage space required for the box.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, by setting up four connectors, after the box is unfolded, the four connectors are inserted to limit the horizontal and side plates, thereby avoiding the box deformation due to insufficient strength after unfolding.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the four flip panels allow the flip panels to be flush with the horizontal or side panels when stored. When the box is unfolded, the four flip panels can be rotated to a horizontal position, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the bottom plate. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-6 A folding box includes two horizontal plates 1 and two side plates 2. The two side plates 2 are located on the left and right sides of the two horizontal plates 1. Outer plates 8 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the two horizontal plates 1 and the front and rear sides of the two side plates 2. The outer plates 8 are arc-shaped and contact the outer surface of arc-shaped blocks 9. When the box is folded, the outer plates 8 move along the surface of the arc-shaped blocks 9. When the box is fully folded, the two outer plates 8 and the corresponding arc-shaped blocks 9 form a semi-circle. Arc-shaped blocks 9 are provided on the left and right sides of the two horizontal plates 1, and multiple arc-shaped blocks 9 are located on the front and rear sides of the two side plates 2. A thin plate 11 is fixedly connected to each arc-shaped block 9. Each of the horizontal plates 1 and the side plates 2 is fixedly connected with a guide arc plate 6. Each horizontal plate 1 has a connecting block 4 fixedly connected to its left and right sides and the upper and lower sides. Each connecting block 4 has an arc-shaped rotating plate 7 that cooperates with the guide arc plate 6. The outer wall of each guide arc plate 6 fits against the inner wall of the arc-shaped rotating plate 7. When the box is folded, the arc-shaped rotating plate 7 will rotate along the outer wall of the guide arc plate 6. In the actual production process, the middle position of the thin plate 11 can be bent with pliers to make the middle part of the thin plate 11 protrude, thereby limiting the arc-shaped rotating plate 7 and preventing the arc-shaped rotating plate 7 and the guide arc plate 6 from moving relative to each other vertically.

[0026] Each outer panel 8 and its corresponding connecting block 4 are fixedly connected by a reinforcing rib 12. Each reinforcing rib 12 is T-shaped and fixedly connected to the corresponding horizontal plate 1 and side plate 2. Each arc-shaped block 9 has a connector 3 at its upper end. Each connector 3 is arc-shaped and has a slot 5 at its lower end. The horizontal plate 1 and the side plate 2 have the same width. The slot 5 has the same width as the horizontal plate 1 and the side plate 2. After the connector 3 is inserted, the adjacent sides of the horizontal plate 1 and the side plate 2 will be located in the slot 5, so that the unfolded box will not deform.

[0027] Among them, the adjacent sides of the two horizontal plates 1 and the adjacent sides of the two side plates 2 are rotatably connected to the flip plates 10. Each flip plate 10 is provided with multiple threaded holes. During assembly, a base plate with bolts is prepared in advance. When all the flip plates 10 are rotated to the horizontal state, the base plate can be placed on the four flip plates 10. Then, the base plate is fixed to the four flip plates 10 with bolts. Each horizontal plate 1 and side plate 2 is fixedly connected to a limit block to ensure that the flip plates 10 can only rotate to the horizontal state.

[0028] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation: When the box is in use, the box is unfolded so that the two horizontal plates 1 and the side plates 2 form a rectangle. Then the connector 3 is clipped onto the horizontal plates 1 and the side plates 2. At this time, the connector 3, the horizontal plates 1 and the side plates 2 form a stable support system to prevent the box from deforming during use. After the box is unfolded, the operator can rotate the four flip plates 10 to a horizontal state, then put the bottom plate onto the four flip plates 10, and then use bolts to fasten the bottom plate to the four flip plates 10.

[0029] When the box needs to be folded, simply remove the four connectors 3, and the connecting block 4 can be rotated by the arc-shaped rotating plate 7, so that the horizontal plate 1 and the side plate 2 can be folded together.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
