Especially in the scenario of large-volume distribution, it can significantly shorten the assembly and storage time of the box, reduce labor intensity, and improve the overall distribution efficiency.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] The third embodiment of this utility model provides a technical solution: the strap 5 is a high-strength nylon webbing that is resistant to aging and wear and is suitable for long-term repeated use;
[0042] Support feet 15: Optional elastic rubber material (such as EPDM rubber), with anti-slip and shock-absorbing functions to prevent the box from sliding or vibration from being transmitted to the product.
[0043] Working principle:
[0044] Box assembly: First, insert the plug-in side plate 3 into the receiving slot 10 opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the C-shaped base plate 1. At the same time, make the outer wall of the plug-in side plate 3 precisely align and insert with the inner wall of the side plate slot 11 opened on the side of the flip side plate 2, thus completing the initial positioning of the plug-in side plate 3 with the C-shaped base plate 1 and the flip side plate 2. At this time, the L-shaped clip 12 fixedly connected to the top of the plug-in side plate 3 naturally snaps into the top of the flip side plate 2. The horizontal section of the L-shaped clip 12 forms a longitudinal limit on the flip side plate 2, preventing the flip side plate 2 from flipping outward or the plug-in side plate 3 from falling downward after assembly, thereby enhancing the overall structural stability of the box.
[0045] Closure and Fixing: A supporting frame 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the C-shaped base plate 1. An insert block 9 is pre-movably inserted into the inner wall of the supporting frame 6. A strap 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the supporting frame 6. The outer wall of the strap 5 passes through the sealing side frame 8 fixed to the outer wall of the closing cover plate 4. After loading, the closing cover plate 4 is closed over the top opening of the C-shaped base plate 1, so that the inner wall of the closing cover plate 4 is flush with the top of the flip-up side plate 2 and the insert side plate 3, forming a closed storage space. Then, the strap 5 is pulled, causing the strap 5 to... The dynamic sealing cover side frame 8 is tightly attached to the receiving base frame 6. The fastening bolt 7 is passed through the outer wall of the receiving base frame 6 and screwed into the mounting hole opened on the outer wall of the insert 9. The insert 9 is fixed by the threaded connection between the fastening bolt 7 and the mounting hole. Then, the strap 5 forms a tension on the sealing cover side frame 8 to achieve reliable fixation between the sealing cover plate 4 and the C-shaped base plate 1. At the same time, the bottom surface of the C-shaped base plate 1 is fixedly connected with the support pad 15. The support pad 15 contacts the placement surface to avoid direct wear or moisture on the C-shaped base plate 1 and ensure the stability of the box.
[0046] Once the order is fulfilled and the box is no longer needed, fold and store it according to the following steps:
[0047] Unsealing: First, unscrew the fastening bolt 7 from the mounting hole of the insert block 9, pull the strap 5 to separate the cover side frame 8 from the receiving bottom frame 6, and then remove the sealing cover plate 4 from the top of the U-shaped bottom plate 1 to release the sealed state of the box.
[0048] Separate side panels: Lift the insert side panel 3 upwards, so that the bottom of the insert side panel 3 is dislodged from the receiving slot 10 of the U-shaped base plate 1, and at the same time, the side wall of the insert side panel 3 is separated from the side panel slot 11 of the flip side panel 2; during this process, lift the L-shaped locking strip 12 simultaneously, so that the horizontal section of the L-shaped locking strip 12 is dislodged from the top of the flip side panel 2, and the locking and limiting of the L-shaped locking strip 12 on the flip side panel 2 and the insert side panel 3 is completely released.
[0049] Stacking the plug-in side plates: Place the separated plug-in side plates 3 flat on the upper surface of the C-shaped base plate 1, align the limiting protrusion 13 on one side of the plug-in side plate 3 with the corresponding limiting groove 14 opened on the C-shaped base plate 1 and insert it to achieve positioning of a single plug-in side plate 3 on the C-shaped base plate 1; then take another set of plug-in side plates 3, align and engage the limiting protrusion 13 on one side of it with the limiting groove 14 on the other side of the previous plug-in side plate 3, so that the two sets of plug-in side plates 3 are neatly stacked and relatively fixed on the C-shaped base plate 1 to prevent the plug-in side plates 3 from shifting after folding.
[0050] Flip-over storage and resealing: Flip the flip-over side panel 2, which is rotatably connected to the top side of the C-shaped base plate 1, inwards towards the C-shaped base plate 1, so that the inner wall of the flip-over side panel 2 overlaps the upper surface of the two stacked plug-in side panels 3, completing the storage of the flip-over side panel 2; finally, re-close the previously removed sealing cover 4 onto the outer wall of the C-shaped base plate 1, at which point the entire box is flat, significantly reducing its space ratio. When the sealing cover 4 is joined and closed with the C-shaped base plate 1, four sets of inserts 9 are provided on the strap 5. By inserting the strap 5 between the sealing side frame 8 and the supporting bottom frame 6, and then using the fastening bolts 7 to fix the inserts 9, the strap 5 limits the sealing cover 4, ensuring the stability of the folded box structure and facilitating storage or transportation.
[0051] In summary: Through its foldable structure design, the container can be folded into a flat shape when not in use, significantly reducing its space ratio and greatly improving the utilization rate of storage space; when transporting empty containers, more containers can be loaded at once, reducing transportation costs; at the same time, the folded structure is neat and tidy, making it easy to stack multiple containers neatly, avoiding damage to the containers caused by stacking and squeezing, and extending the service life of the equipment.
