[0050] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0051] Figures 1-6 A structural diagram of a foldable logistics box according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figures 1-6 As shown, the logistics box may include:
[0052] Base 3;
[0053] A housing assembly 1 is disposed on the base 3, and the housing assembly 1 has a first state and a second state;
[0054] When the housing assembly 1 is in the first state, the housing assembly 1 is in contact with the base 3;
[0055] When the housing assembly 1 is in the second state, the housing assembly 1 is vertically mounted on the base 3;
[0056] Locking component 2 is disposed on the base 3. When the housing assembly 1 is in the second state, the locking component 2 locks the housing assembly 1.
[0057] In this embodiment, the first state is the unused state, at which time the box assembly 1 is folded and placed on the base 3, and adjacent logistics boxes can be stacked.
[0058] The second state is the usage state, in which the box assembly 1 is installed vertically with the base 3 and cooperates with the base 3 to form a logistics box;
[0059] By folding the box assembly 1 onto the base 3, the box assembly 1 is in the first state when not in use, allowing the logistics boxes to be stacked and saving space. When in use, the box assembly 1 is switched from the first state to the second state and locked by the locking component 2, making it easy to use. The operation is simple, it saves space when not in use, and it is easy to assemble when in use.
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment,
[0061] The housing assembly 1 includes:
[0062] The first side plate 4, when in the second state, is vertically mounted on the base 3;
[0063] The second side plate 5, when in the second state, the first side plate 4 is vertically mounted on the base 3;
[0064] When the third side plate 6 is in the second state, the first side plate 4 and the third side plate 6 are arranged parallel to each other. When the third side plate 6 is in the first state, the first side plate 4 and the third side plate 6 are stacked on top of the base 3.
[0065] The fourth side plate 7, when in the second state, is arranged parallel to the second side plate 5. When in the first state, the fourth side plate 7 and the second side plate 5 are stacked on top of the first side plate 4 and the third side plate 6.
[0066] In this embodiment, during use, if the logistics box is folded to the first state for transportation, the locking components 2 on the second side plate 5 and the fourth side plate 7 are slid upward and folded inward by 90°, and then the first side plate 4 and the third side plate 6 are folded inward by 90°. This facilitates the folded flat-shaped transportation and storage of the cyclic logistics wooden box device for loading and multiple stacked storage. By adjusting the distance between adjacent side plates, collisions are avoided when the side plates are lifted, placed, or folded.
[0067] If goods need to be loaded and unloaded after the box assembly 1 is assembled, the locking assembly 2 needs to be lifted up first, the locking assembly 2 needs to be folded outward 180°, and then the first side plate 4 needs to be folded outward 90° to achieve a more convenient way of loading and unloading goods.
[0068] The first side panel 4, the second side panel 5, the third side panel 6, and the fourth side panel 7 can be stacked by disassembly or folded relative to the base by bending. When folded by bending, the height of the bend at the bottom of the second side panel 5 and the fourth side panel 7 is greater than the thickness of the first side panel 4 and the third side panel 6 stacked together, so as to ensure that the first side panel 4, the second side panel 5, the third side panel 6, and the fourth side panel 7 can be stacked.
[0069] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in one embodiment,
[0070] The locking component 2 includes:
[0071] Four metal corner protectors 8 are provided on the base 3.
[0072] Each of the four metal corner protectors 8 includes:
[0073] Fixing plates 81 are respectively disposed at the four corners of the base 3;
[0074] Hinge 9, which is disposed on the fixed plate 81;
[0075] Movable plate 82, which is mounted on fixed plate 81 via hinge 9;
[0076] Bottom pin 10 is provided on the movable plate 82, and the bottom pin locks the movable plate 82 relative to the base 3. When in the second state, the bottom pin is located inside the base 3.
[0077] The base 3 has a positioning slot 15 that is adapted to the bottom pin. When in the second state, the bottom pin is located in the positioning slot 15.
[0078] The locking component 2 also includes:
[0079] A number of top twisted pins are respectively disposed on the second side plate 5 and the fourth side plate 7. The first side plate 4 and the third side plate 6 are each provided with a U-shaped slot 12 corresponding to the top twisted pins.
[0080] The diameter of the top twisted pin is smaller than the maximum diameter of the U-shaped slot 12.
[0081] A plurality of twisted pins are respectively disposed on the second side plate 5 and the fourth side plate 7. The first side plate 4 and the third side plate 6 are each provided with a slot 14 adapted to the twisted pins.
[0082] The diameter of the twisted pin is greater than that of the slot 14.
[0083] In this embodiment, by setting the bottom pin, the bottom pin is inserted into the positioning slot 15 on the base 3, so that the movable plate 82 and the fixed plate 81 are fixed on the base 3 at 90°, and the four side plates are limited. The upper part of the four side plates is fixed by the top twisting nail and the U-shaped slot 12.
[0084] The bottom of the four side panels is secured by twisted nails and slots 14 at the bottom;
[0085] Specifically, the preferred number of metal corner protectors 8, top screws, and screws is four. The specific number can be adjusted according to the number of the top edge of the base 3, and the angle between the fixed plate 81 and the movable plate 82 can also be adjusted.
[0086] During use, if the reusable logistics wooden box device is to be transported in a folded flat shape, first slide the buttons 13 and top buttons 11 of the second side panel 5 and the fourth side panel 7 upwards and inwards at 90° through the slots 14 and U-shaped slots 12, and then fold the first side panel 4 and the third side panel 6 inwards at 90°. This facilitates the folded flat shape transportation and storage of the reusable logistics wooden box device for loading and stacking multiple boxes. By adjusting the distance between adjacent side panels, collisions can be avoided when lifting and folding the side panels. If it is necessary to load and unload goods after the box assembly 1 is assembled, the bottom bolt 10 needs to be lifted upwards first, the metal corner protectors 8 need to be folded outwards at 180° through the hinges 9, and then the first side panel 4 needs to be folded outwards at 90° to achieve a more convenient way of loading and unloading goods.
[0087] The logistics box uses a double safety device of bottom metal corner protectors 8, upper U-shaped slot 12 and top twisted nails to fix the side panel of the packaging box assembly 1. A dynamic gap is left between two adjacent side panels to avoid wear, making the side panels more convenient for folding and storage and transportation, and the structure more durable.
[0088] The button 13 structure on the second side panel 5 and the fourth side panel 7 cooperates with the slot 14 on the skirt, making it easier to lift, fold and stack the side panels in a staggered manner.
[0089] In terms of transportation and storage, it can be stacked, which improves space utilization. Traditional boxes are usually loaded from the top or need to be disassembled. The fixed plate 81 and the movable plate 82 are fixed by the bottom bolt. The bottom bolt can be opened to make the movable plate 82 flip outward and put down the third side plate 6, which makes it more convenient to pack goods and more practical.
[0090] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment,
[0091] When the first side plate 4, the second side plate 5, the third side plate 6 and the fourth side plate 7 are in the first state, the logistics box is stacked with the adjacent logistics box.
[0092] In this embodiment, by folding the first side plate 4, the second side plate 5, the third side plate 6 and the fourth side plate 7 onto the base 3, the box assembly 1 is in the first state when not in use, and the logistics boxes are stacked to save space.
