[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This embodiment requires a protective reinforcement structure to provide stable support for the enclosure and prevent deformation of the enclosure frame due to lateral compression. The reinforcement structure is partially or entirely located inside the enclosure.

[0038] When the enclosure is an open enclosure, the reinforcing structure is located inside the enclosure.

[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Taking an L-shaped box as an example, the L-shaped box is defined as the first box 1a. The first box 1a is hollow inside, and a first groove 101a is formed in the horizontal frame of the first box 1a. The groove depth of the first groove 101a extends horizontally. The L-shaped box refers to an L-shaped frame with a hollow lateral cross-section. The horizontal frame of the first box 1a refers to the horizontal part of the L-shaped box.

[0040] See Figure 3 The reinforcing structure includes a connecting part and a pressure-resistant part. The connecting part is fixed to the opposite sides of the box body. The pressure-resistant part is provided between the connecting parts. The pressure-resistant part is inclinedly supported between the opposite sides of the box body. Specifically, the first left fixing part 20a is fixed to the inner wall of the first box body 1a facing the first groove 101a, the first upper fixing part 21a is fixed to the inner wall of the first groove 101a, the first right fixing part 22a is provided on the outer wall of the first box body 1a, and the first pressure-resistant part 23a is diagonally supported and connected between the first left fixing part 20a and the first upper fixing part 21a. The first left fixing part 20a, the first pressure-resistant part 23a, the first upper fixing part 21a and the first right fixing part 22a are connected end to end to form the first reinforcing structure.

[0041] In actual production, in order to improve the supporting effect of the first reinforcing structure, the first reinforcing structure is preferably an integral structure, and in order to avoid bending and breakage at the corners, chamfers are provided at all corners of the first reinforcing structure.

[0042] Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the connection between the first reinforcing structure and the first housing 1a, it is specifically designed that the first left fixing part 20a, the first right fixing part 22a, and the first housing 1a are preferably connected by plug welding. In addition, the inner wall of the first groove 101a and the first upper fixing part 21a are preferably connected by seam welding. Considering their actual positions and the required connection strength, a better fixing effect is achieved.

[0043] Therefore, this embodiment enhances the rigidity of the first box 1a by attaching and fixing the first left fixing part 20a, the first right fixing part 22a, and the first upper fixing part 21a to the side wall of the first box 1a. Combined with the first compression-resistant part 23a, this effectively provides diagonal rib support structures on both sides of the first box 1a, significantly improving its overall rigidity and compression resistance. Furthermore, the first left fixing part 20a, the first right fixing part 22a, the first compression-resistant part 23a, and the first upper fixing part 21a are interconnected, forming a single, integrated first reinforcing structure. This results in a compact structure that is easy to install, greatly improving compression resistance with minimal impact on the storage capacity and weight of the first box 1a.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the box body is a side-mounted convex-shaped box body, defined as the second box body 1b. The second box body 1b is hollow inside, and a second groove 101b is formed in the horizontal frame of the second box body 1b. The groove depth of the second groove 101b extends horizontally. A side-mounted convex-shaped box body means that the box body is placed on its side, so that the original top of the second box body 1b faces to the right.

[0046] See Figure 6 The second left fixing part 20b is attached to the inner wall of the second box 1b facing the second groove 101b. The inner wall of the second groove 101b is provided with a U-shaped lifting lug 22b, which protrudes from the outside of the second box 1b. The inner wall of the second box 1b is provided with a second right fixing part 23b. The first pressure-resistant part 23a is obliquely connected between the second left fixing part 20b and the lifting lug 22b. The second left fixing part 20b, the second pressure-resistant part 21b, the lifting lug 22b and the second right fixing part 23b are connected end to end in sequence to form the second reinforcing structure.

[0047] Similarly, to ensure the stability of the connection between the second reinforcing structure and the second housing 1b, it is specifically designed that the second left fixing part 20b, the second right fixing part 23b, and the second housing 1b are preferably connected by plug welding. Furthermore, the inner wall of the second groove 101b and the lifting lug 22b are preferably connected by seam welding, which, combined with their actual positions and the required connection strength, results in a better fixing effect.

[0048] The U-shaped lifting lug 22b can be used as the mounting point for the second box 1b. Therefore, this embodiment, based on the improvement of rigidity and compressive strength in Embodiment 1, also adds the multifunctionality and versatility of the reinforced structure.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the box is a closed box, and the reinforcing structure is located inside the box. Specifically, taking a square box as an example, the square box is defined as the third box 1c. The third fixing part 20c is attached and fixed to both sides of the inner wall of the third box 1c. The third fixing parts 20c are connected along the diagonal support to the third pressure-resistant part to form a Z-shaped structure.

[0051] Similarly, the third fixing part 20c is preferably connected to the inner walls of the third housing 1c by plug welding to improve the connection stability between the third fixing part 20c and the third housing 1c.

[0052] Example 4

[0053] See Figure 9 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment three is that a third pressure-resistant part is horizontally supported on one side between the third fixing parts 20c to form a U-shaped structure.

[0054] See Figure 10 It is worth noting that the reinforcing structure in this embodiment is not limited to one; for example, it can be set to two. When the U-shaped openings are opposite each other and staggered, the cross-section is formed as a square structure.

[0055] See Figure 11 When the U-shaped openings are placed opposite each other, the cross-section forms an H-shaped structure.

[0056] After confirming the placement configuration, the two reinforcing structures in this embodiment are welded together as a whole using plug welding or seam welding.

[0057] This utility model, by setting up a reinforcing structure, not only enhances the rigidity and compression resistance of the box, but also increases its applicability, versatility, and multi-functionality for different shaped boxes and different styles of reinforcing structures, making it easier for people to use.

[0058] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
