Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics turnover technology, specifically a logistics turnover container. Background Technology

[0002] In modern logistics systems, reusable containers have become crucial vehicles connecting production, warehousing, transportation, and last-mile delivery. Current technologies generally employ integrally injection-molded fixed-volume containers, detachable panel containers, or foldable containers to balance loading stability and empty container return efficiency. Specifically:

[0003] Although fixed-volume containers have a simple structure and reliable stacking, empty containers still occupy 100% of the volume on return trips, resulting in high transportation costs.

[0004] Demountable or foldable enclosures typically consist of a bottom plate, side plates, and a top cover connected by metal hinges, pins, or bolts (see Chinese Patent CN107187695B). While such structures can be disassembled and laid flat in the empty stage, multiple disassembly and assembly processes require tools, resulting in high labor costs. Furthermore, pins and bolts are prone to loss or corrosion, affecting cycle life.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a logistics turnover container. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a logistics turnover container in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A logistics turnover container includes a turnover box, which consists of a rectangular base plate, two side plates 1, two side plates 2, a top frame, a plurality of fixing components 1 and a plurality of fixing components 2. The two side plates 1 are respectively hinged to two opposite sides of the base plate, and the two side plates 2 are respectively hinged to the other two opposite sides of the base plate. The top frame is rectangular and has a rectangular positioning groove on its bottom side. The two side plates 1 and the two side plates 2 are movably engaged inside the positioning groove on the side opposite to their own hinge axis. The plurality of fixing components 1 are evenly distributed on the two side plates 1. The fixing components 1 are used to fix adjacent side plates 1 and 2, and the fixing components 2 are used to fix the side plates 1, 2 and 3 to the top frame.

[0009] Furthermore, mounting blocks are fixed at the four corners of the base plate. One side of side plate one and one side of side plate two are hinged between two adjacent mounting blocks via shafts. Both side plate one and side plate two can be rotated to be flush with or perpendicular to the base plate. When both side plate one and both side plate two are perpendicular to the base plate, the positioning groove at the bottom of the top frame is movably engaged with the top sides of the two side plates one and the two side plates two, and the two vertical sides of side plate one facing away from each other are respectively attached to the opposite sides of the two side plates two.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting groove is constructed on the side of the first side plate perpendicular to the shaft, and a device groove corresponding to the mounting groove is constructed through the second side plate. A locking groove is constructed on the inner wall of the device groove. The first fixing component is an L-shaped locking rod with one end rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting groove. When the first side plate is perpendicular to the adjacent second side plate, the other end of the L-shaped locking rod is located inside the locking groove.

[0011] Furthermore, one side of the side plate has a circular control groove, and a control block is rotatably installed inside the control groove. One end of the L-shaped locking rod shaft extends movably into the inside of the control groove and is fixed to the middle of one side of the control block. Anti-slip texture is provided on the other side of the control block.

[0012] Furthermore, the L-shaped locking rod is magnetic, a magnetic block one is embedded in the inner wall of the locking groove, and a magnetic block two is embedded in the inner wall of the mounting groove. When the first side plate is perpendicular to the second side plate, the L-shaped locking rod is magnetically connected to the first magnetic block. When the first side plate is not perpendicular to the second side plate, the L-shaped locking rod is magnetically connected to the second magnetic block.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the top frame is provided with several evenly distributed threaded grooves that are all connected to the positioning groove. The outer sides of the first side plate and the second side plate are provided with several connecting holes, and the several connecting holes correspond one-to-one with the several threaded grooves. The second fixing component is a hexagonal screw, which is movably inserted between the corresponding threaded groove and the connecting hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the top frame has a rectangular stacking groove on the side facing away from the positioning groove, the bottom plate is movably engaged inside the stacking groove, and the four mounting blocks are respectively engaged with the four corners of the stacking groove.

[0015] Furthermore, both side plates have through-hole grooves.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. In this solution, the bottom plate and the four side plates are connected as a single unit by hinges. When the container is empty, only the top frame and two sets of fixing components need to be removed. Side plate one and side plate two can be flipped up to be completely coplanar with the bottom plate. All the plates are located in the same plane, forming a "flat plate" with a thickness of only the thickness of a single plate. Compared with traditional fixed volume containers, the empty container volume is reduced by nearly 100%. It is also better than existing folding containers that need to be disassembled or cross-folded. The loading capacity of a 40-foot container can be increased by 2-3 times, directly reducing return freight costs.

[0018] 2. In this solution, the top frame is fastened to the top of the four side panels at once through the positioning slot, achieving "one-click positioning"; the locking between side panel one and side panel two can be completed by simply rotating the L-shaped locking rod, without the need for bolts, pins or special tools. A single person can complete the unfolding or folding operation within 10 seconds, reducing assembly time by more than 50% compared to detachable panel boxes.

[0019] 3. In this solution, the top frame is equipped with a stacking groove on the side facing away from the positioning groove, and the bottom plate can be precisely embedded to achieve stable vertical stacking of fully loaded containers; in the empty container stage, the flat structure can be laid flat layer by layer, or it can be nested horizontally with the stacking groove and the mounting block to prevent slippage during transportation, taking into account both loading safety and return convenience.

[0020] 4. This solution has fewer components, reducing mold investment and subsequent maintenance costs; the improved return efficiency of empty containers directly reduces vehicle empty mileage and carbon emissions; the all-plastic, metal-free structure facilitates recycling and remanufacturing, meeting the needs of green logistics and the circular economy.

[0029] 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 with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This application provides a logistics turnover container, mainly to address the common problem in existing technologies that use integrally injection-molded fixed-volume boxes, detachable panel boxes, or foldable boxes to balance loading stability and empty box return efficiency. While fixed-volume boxes are simple in structure and reliable in stacking, empty boxes still occupy 100% of the volume during return trips, leading to high transportation costs. Detachable panel boxes or foldable boxes are typically composed of a bottom plate, side plates, and a top cover connected by metal hinges, pins, or bolts. Although such structures can be disassembled and laid flat when empty, multiple disassembly and assembly processes require tools, resulting in high labor costs. Furthermore, pins and bolts are prone to loss or corrosion, affecting the cycle life. The application provides the following technical solution, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-7 Please provide a detailed explanation:

[0031] A logistics turnover container mainly includes a turnover box, which is composed of a rectangular base plate 1, two side plates 1 2, two side plates 2 3, a top frame 4, several fixing components 1 5 and several fixing components 2 6. The two side plates 1 2 are respectively hinged to two opposite sides of the base plate 1, and the two side plates 2 3 are respectively hinged to the other two opposite sides of the base plate 1. The top frame 4 is rectangular and has a rectangular positioning groove 41 on its bottom side. The two side plates 1 2 and the two side plates 2 3 are movably locked inside the positioning groove 41 on the side opposite to their own hinge axis. Several fixing components 1 5 are evenly distributed on the two side plates 1 2. The fixing components 1 5 are used to fix the adjacent side plates 1 2 and side plates 2 3, and the fixing components 2 6 are used to fix the side plates 1 2, side plates 2 3 and the top frame 4.

[0032] In the non-use state, the base plate 1 is flat, and the two side plates 1 and 2 are flipped downwards to be completely coplanar with the base plate 1. The top frame 4 can be removed separately, thus forming a flat unit with a thickness only that of a single plate, achieving near-zero empty box volume and significantly reducing return transportation costs. When loading goods, the operator only needs to flip the side plates 1 and 2 to be perpendicular to the base plate 1. The four plates instantly form a rectangular cavity. Then, the top frame 4 is pressed down as a whole, and the positioning groove 41 simultaneously fits onto the upper edges of the two side plates 1 and 2 at the same time to achieve rapid positioning. At the same time, the side plates 1 and 2 are fixed by the fixing component 5, and the side plates 1 and 2 are fixed to the top frame 4 by the fixing component 2.

[0033] Furthermore, mounting blocks 11 are fixed at the four corners of the base plate 1. One side of side plate 2 and one side of side plate 3 are hinged between two adjacent mounting blocks 11 via shafts. The mounting blocks 11 provide hidden hinge fulcrums for side plate 2 and side plate 3. Both side plate 2 and side plate 3 can be rotated to be flush with or perpendicular to the base plate 1. When both side plate 2 and both side plate 3 are perpendicular to the base plate 1, the positioning groove 41 at the bottom of the top frame 4 is movably engaged on the top side of the two side plates 2 and the top side of the two side plates 3, and the two vertical sides of side plate 2 opposite to each other are respectively attached to the opposite side of the two side plates 3.

[0034] When the empty box is being recycled, side plate 2 and side plate 3 can be gently lowered around the shaft to be flush with the bottom plate 1, forming a flat plate with a thickness of only one plate. When loading is required, the operator only needs to flip each plate upward to be vertical. The vertical side of side plate 2 immediately fits against the inner side of side plate 3, and the four walls instantly enclose a rectangular cavity. Then, the positioning groove 41 of the top frame 4 slides in from top to bottom, and the tops of the two side plates 2 and 3 are simultaneously engaged and positioned, realizing tool-free quick box erection.

[0035] To further enhance the connection rigidity of the corner of the container, the mounting groove 21 on the vertical side of side plate 2 and the device groove 31 through side plate 3 are precisely aligned at the moment of closing. At this time, the L-shaped locking rod 51 installed in the mounting groove 21 is rotated and screwed into the device groove 31 and extended into the locking groove 32 under the action of external force, thus completing the lateral locking of side plate 2 and side plate 3. The whole action is smooth and continuous, without the need for any pins or bolts, which simplifies the structure and eliminates the risk of corrosion, significantly improving the unfolding efficiency, connection reliability and cycle life of the turnover container.

[0036] Further, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4One side of the side plate 2 has a circular control groove. A control block 22 is rotatably installed inside the control groove. One end of the L-shaped locking rod 51 pivot shaft extends into the inside of the control groove and is fixed to the middle of one side of the control block 22. Anti-slip texture is provided on the other side of the control block 22.

[0037] The operator can press the anti-slip texture on the outside of the control block 22 with their fingertips and rotate it slightly to drive the L-shaped locking rod 51 to rotate synchronously through the rotating shaft. This allows the end of the rod to smoothly rotate into or out of the locking groove 32 in the device groove 31, thus locking or releasing the side plate 1 2 and the side plate 2 3. The anti-slip texture increases the friction between the fingers, allowing for quick operation without tools with one hand. At the same time, the control groove and the control block 22 form a hidden structure to avoid protrusion, which protects the locking rod mechanism from collisions and keeps the box appearance flat, further improving ease of use and structural reliability.

[0038] Furthermore, the L-shaped locking rod 51 is magnetic, and a magnetic block 33 is embedded in the inner wall of the locking groove 32, and a magnetic block 23 is embedded in the inner wall of the mounting groove 21. When the side plate 2 is perpendicular to the side plate 3, the L-shaped locking rod 51 is magnetically connected to the magnetic block 33. When the side plate 2 is not perpendicular to the side plate 3, the L-shaped locking rod 51 is magnetically connected to the magnetic block 23.

[0039] The L-shaped locking rod 51 is magnetically attached, and its rotation path is equipped with two-stage positioning: when the side plate 1 2 and the side plate 2 3 are folded to the vertical box closing position, the end of the L-shaped locking rod 51 automatically approaches and is attracted to the magnetic block 1 33 in the locking groove 32, forming an angular rigid lock to prevent accidental disengagement caused by transportation vibration; during the empty box recycling stage, the side plate 1 2 and the side plate 2 3 are unfolded to be flush with the bottom plate 1, and the L-shaped locking rod 51 enters the mounting groove 21 and magnetically attaches with the magnetic block 2 23 embedded therein, which not only keeps the L-shaped locking rod 51 close and stored to avoid shaking and abnormal noise, but also ensures that the L-shaped locking rod 51 is always at the preset starting angle when it is flipped over next. The entire magnetic dual-position switching does not require springs or buckles, the structure is extremely simple, the feel is clear, and the durability and ease of operation are improved simultaneously.

[0040] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The outer periphery of the top frame 4 has several evenly distributed threaded grooves 42 that are all connected to the positioning grooves 41. The outer sides of the side plate 1 2 and the side plate 2 3 have several connecting holes 7, which correspond one-to-one with the threaded grooves 42. The fixing component 2 6 is a hexagonal screw 61, which is movably inserted between the corresponding threaded grooves 42 and the connecting holes 7.

[0041] When the top frame 4 fits onto the top of the vertical side plates 2 and 3 from top to bottom, the connecting holes 7 on the outer sides of the side plates 2 and 3 and the corresponding threaded grooves 42 are instantly aligned coaxially. The hexagonal screw 61 is screwed into the threaded groove 42 and passes through the connecting hole 7, thus completing the rigid locking of the top frame 4 with the side plates 2 and 3. It can be quickly unlocked by screwing it out in the opposite direction. No additional tools are required throughout the process. The locking force is borne by the threaded pair and the hexagonal head, ensuring that the top of the box does not warp or shift when fully loaded and stacked. At the same time, the exposed end face of the hexagonal screw 61 is flush with the outer perimeter of the top frame 4 to avoid scratching the goods or operators, taking into account both safety and aesthetics.

[0042] The top frame 4 has a rectangular stacking groove 43 on the side facing away from the positioning groove 41. The bottom plate 1 is movably locked inside the stacking groove 43, and the four mounting blocks 11 are respectively attached to the four corners of the stacking groove 43. When the fully loaded turnover boxes need to be stacked in multiple layers, the bottom plate 1 of the upper turnover box slides vertically into the stacking groove 43. The bottom plate 1 is precisely attached to the inner wall of the stacking groove 43 around its perimeter. At the same time, the mounting blocks 11 at the four corners of the bottom plate 1 just abut against the four corners of the stacking groove 43, forming a double positioning, which not only prevents horizontal slippage but also distributes the stacking load, ensuring that the whole stack is stable and does not tip over.

[0043] Both side panels 1-2 have through-hole slots 24. When empty boxes are being recycled, the operator only needs to insert their fingertips into the through-hole slots 24 of side panel 1-2 and lift it up to quickly flip side panel 1-2 from a flat position. The through-hole slots 24 run through the thickness direction of side panel 1-2 and have rounded edges to prevent cuts and facilitate the coordinated application of force by both hands. The entire unfolding or folding action is smooth and continuous, without the need for tools, further improving the efficiency and comfort of single-person operation. At the same time, the design of the through-hole slots 24 also makes it convenient for operators to move fully loaded turnover boxes.

[0044] 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.
