[0061] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a frame box 100, including a box body 10 and a baffle 20.

[0062] The housing 10 includes a base frame 11, a top frame 12, and corner posts 13 connecting the base frame 11 and the top frame 12.

[0063] The base frame 11 is the fundamental support component of the entire frame box 100. It is typically made of high-strength metal materials (such as steel) or high-strength composite materials to ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity. Its structural design is a rectangular frame, composed of multiple horizontal and vertical beams welded together or connected by high-strength bolts to form a stable plane, providing a stable support foundation for equipment or goods placed inside the box 10. Mounting holes 21 or connecting structures (such as corner brackets) are provided at the four corners of the base frame 11 for reliable connection to the corner posts 13.

[0064] The top frame 12 is similar in structure to the bottom frame 11, also made of high-strength metal or composite materials, and is a rectangular frame. The top frame 12 not only protects the items inside the container 10 but also enhances the overall rigidity and stability of the entire frame container 100. Lifting points can be installed on the top frame 12 as needed to facilitate the lifting and transportation of the frame container 100. These lifting points typically employ a reinforced structural design to ensure they can withstand the weight of the frame container 100 and its contents during lifting.

[0065] The corner post 13 connects the base frame 11 and the top frame 12, and is made of high-strength metal profiles (such as square tubes, channel steel, etc.), which have high bending and compressive strength. The two ends of the corner post 13 are fixed to the base frame 11 and the top frame 12 by welding or bolting, respectively, to form a stable three-dimensional frame structure.

[0066] The housing 10 is provided with fixing holes 14. Optionally, the fixing holes 14 are provided on the base frame 11, the top frame 12, or the corner post 13.

[0067] The baffle 20 is constructed of sheet metal and can be made of the same or different material as the housing 10. The shape of the baffle 20 is designed according to the structure of the housing 10, and is generally a rectangular flat plate. The baffle 20 and the housing 10 are connected in a detachable manner.

[0068] The baffle 20 is connected to the housing 10 by a fastener 30. Optionally, the fastener 30 may be, but is not limited to, bolts, pins, rivets, or clips.

[0069] In this design, a baffle 20 is installed on the housing 10 and securely fixed to the housing 10 via a detachable connection, forming a closed or semi-closed space for placing equipment or goods. The presence of the baffle 20 restricts the movement space of the load-bearing device inside the housing 10, preventing it from sliding out of the frame housing 100. When loading or unloading goods or maintaining the equipment inside the housing 10 is required, the baffle 20 can be easily removed, making the operation simple and quick. Simultaneously, during the handling of the frame housing 100, the connection between the baffle 20 and the housing 10 increases the structural strength of the housing 10, thereby effectively resisting external forces and reducing swaying.

[0070] The fasteners 30 are provided in several sets, meaning that the fasteners 30 can be configured as one, two, or more sets according to actual needs; this solution does not impose specific limitations on this. The frame box 100 according to this solution can accommodate the connection between baffles 20 and the box body 10, regardless of size, weight, or usage requirements. For example, for a small frame box 100 or a baffle 20 with a lighter load-bearing capacity, one set of fasteners 30 may be sufficient to meet the connection requirements; however, for a large frame box 100 or a baffle 20 with a heavier load-bearing capacity, multiple sets of fasteners 30 are required to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0071] Each set of fasteners 30 consists of two pairs, with at least two fasteners 30 per pair. The two pairs of fasteners 30 are spaced apart along the height direction DH of the frame box 100. This ensures that the baffle 20 is evenly stressed along the height direction DH, preventing deformation or loosening of the baffle 20 due to uneven stress. Simultaneously, the number of fixing holes 14 and fasteners 30 is equal and they mate one-to-one, ensuring that each fastener 30 can be accurately installed in its corresponding fixing hole 14, achieving a reliable connection. In this design, a pair of fasteners 30 refers to those connected to the same baffle 20, and whose heights on the frame box 100 are essentially the same.

[0072] In some embodiments, in the same set of fasteners 30, one pair of fixing holes 14 are provided on the base frame 11 or top frame 12, and another pair of fixing holes 14 are provided on the corner posts 13. This arrangement connects the baffle 20 to the base frame 11 (or top frame 12) and corner posts 13 of the housing 10 simultaneously. Through the combined action of the base frame 11 (or top frame 12) and corner posts 13, the baffle 20 is provided with stable support and fixation. The base frame 11 (or top frame 12) mainly bears the vertical force on the baffle 20, while the corner posts 13 bear the horizontal force on the baffle 20, so that the baffle 20 can be effectively fixed in all directions. In this embodiment, along the height direction DH of the frame housing 100, the baffle 20 can be installed on the upper or lower part of the housing 10.

[0073] In some embodiments, in the same group of fasteners 30, both pairs of fasteners 30 are provided on the corner posts 13. In this embodiment, along the height direction DH of the frame box 100, the baffle 20 can be installed on the upper part, lower part and middle part of the box body 10.

[0074] In some embodiments, the length of the corner post 13 is greater than the distance between the top frame 12 and the base frame 11. In the same set of fasteners 30, a pair of fixing holes 14 are provided on the corner post 13, at least one of the other pair of fixing holes 14 is provided on the base frame 11 or the top frame 12, and at least one of the other pair of fixing holes 14 is provided on the corner post 13.

[0075] Optionally, the above embodiments can be implemented individually or simultaneously to meet different needs.

[0076] As described above, the baffle 20 is connected to the housing 10 via a fastener 30. The fastener 30 can be pre-installed on the baffle 20, or the baffle 20 can have a mounting hole 21 that mates with the fastener 30. When the baffle 20 is installed onto the housing 10, the fastener 30 passes through the mounting hole 21 and the fixing hole 14 in sequence.

[0077] Optionally, the thickness of the baffle 20 is greater than or equal to 6 mm.

[0078] During actual installation, there may be manufacturing tolerances, assembly errors, or slight deformation of the frame box 100 due to external forces during transportation and use. Optionally, the mounting hole 21 is a slotted hole or a strip-shaped hole. The slotted hole or strip-shaped hole provides adjustment space for the installation of the fastener 30, avoiding excessive stress concentration between the baffle 20 and the frame box 100, and reducing the risk of damage to the baffle 20 or the frame box 100. At the same time, it can compensate for the displacement between the base frame 11 and the corner post 13, the top frame 12 and the corner post 13, and the corner post 13 and the corner post 13 to a certain extent, maintaining a stable connection between the baffle 20 and the frame box 10, and ensuring the normal use of the frame box 100.

[0079] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, within the same set of mounting holes 21, the extension directions of the same pair of mounting holes 21 are substantially the same. Having the same extension direction for the same pair of mounting holes 21 ensures a stronger connection force in a specific direction, suitable for situations where the baffle 20 needs to withstand a larger force in that direction.

[0080] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, different pairs of mounting holes 21 in the same set extend in different directions. By making the extension directions of different pairs of mounting holes 21 different, the force borne by the baffle 20 can be dispersed, improving the stability and reliability of the connection in multiple directions.

[0081] Optionally, the mounting hole 21 located at the top extends laterally along the height direction DH of the housing 10. The laterally extending mounting hole 21 means that the length direction DL of the slotted or elongated hole is along the lateral direction (e.g., the length direction DL or width direction DW of the frame housing 100). When the baffle 20 is installed on the housing 10, the fastener 30 can be slightly adjusted laterally along the slotted or elongated hole to accommodate manufacturing tolerances, assembly errors, or slight deformations of the frame housing 100 caused by external forces during transportation and use.

[0082] Optionally, the mounting hole 21 located below the box body 10 extends vertically along the height direction DH. The vertical extension of the mounting hole 21 means that the length direction DL of the slotted hole or elongated hole is along the vertical direction (e.g., the height direction DH of the frame box 100). When the baffle 20 is installed on the box body 10, the fastener 30 can be vertically fine-tuned along the slotted hole or elongated hole to accommodate manufacturing tolerances, assembly errors, or slight deformations of the frame box 100 caused by external forces during transportation and use, which may exist between the baffle 20 and the box body 10.

[0083] In other embodiments, along the height direction DH of the housing 10, the upper mounting hole 21 extends vertically and the lower mounting hole 21 extends horizontally, achieving a similar technical effect to the aforementioned embodiments. For the sake of simplicity, these details will not be elaborated here.

[0084] In this design, within the same set of mounting holes 21, the same pair of fixing holes 14 are located on different corner posts 13. Placing the same pair of fixing holes 14 on different corner posts 13 allows the force borne by the baffle 20 to be distributed across the two corner posts 13. This arrangement increases the number and distribution of connection points between the baffle 20 and the housing 10, making the connection more robust. The combined effect of multiple connection points ensures that the baffle 20 remains tightly connected to the housing 10, providing reliable protection for the goods or equipment inside the housing 10.

[0085] In this design, four corner posts 13 are provided at the four corners between the base frame 11 and the top frame 12, and multiple corner posts 13 are provided between the corner posts 13 to achieve connection between the base frame 11 and the top frame 12. Optionally, the two corner posts 13 with the fixing holes 14 are two adjacent corner posts 13. With the fixing holes 14 located on adjacent corner posts 13, the baffle 20 only needs to be connected to these two corner posts 13 during installation, making the operation relatively simple. It eliminates the need for complex positioning and installation on multiple dispersed corner posts 13, greatly improving installation efficiency and reducing installation difficulty and labor costs.

[0086] During the transportation and use of the frame container 100, it will be subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact. If there are no buffering and anti-loosening measures between the baffle 20 and the fastener 30, the fastener 30 can easily loosen gradually due to vibration, resulting in unstable connection of the baffle 20. Optionally, a spring-loaded flat pad 31 is provided between the baffle 20 and the fastener 30. The spring-loaded flat pad 31 greatly improves the reliability of the connection between the baffle 20 and the fastener 30, effectively prevents the fastener 30 from loosening under vibration and impact, and ensures that the baffle 20 always maintains a tight connection with the container 10, providing reliable protection for the goods or equipment inside the container.

[0087] Optionally, a fastening element 15 with internal threads is provided in the fixing hole 14. For example, a countersunk blind hole rivet nut or an internally threaded welded stud is provided in the fixing hole 14. During the manufacturing or repair of the frame box 100, directly tapping the corner post 13 to form internal threads is a complex process and may adversely affect the material strength of the corner post 13. However, by providing the fastening element 15, the fastening element 15 can be pre-installed in the factory, and on-site installation only requires screwing in the fastener 30 (such as a bolt), greatly simplifying the installation process and improving work efficiency.

[0088] Reference Figures 8 to 9This utility model also provides a set of frame boxes 100, including multiple frame boxes 100, which are stacked along the height direction DH. The stacking of the frame boxes 100 meets different storage and space utilization needs. The baffles 20 can be connected to a single frame box 100 or between adjacent frame boxes 100. In practical applications, the connection position of the baffles 20 can be flexibly selected according to factors such as cargo characteristics, transportation mode, and transportation environment to achieve the best cargo transportation and storage effect.

[0089] The frame box 100 includes a first frame box 110 located above and a second frame box 120 located below. One pair of fixing holes 14 in the same set of fixing members 30 are provided in the base frame 11 of the first frame box 110, and another pair of fixing holes 14 are provided in the top frame 12 of the lower frame box 100. When the frame boxes 100 are stacked for transport or storage, the fixing holes 14 in the base frame 11 of the first frame box 110 and the other pair in the top frame 12 of the second frame box 120 are connected by fixing members 30 passing through these two pairs of fixing holes 14. This allows the upper and lower frame boxes 100 to be tightly joined, forming a stable overall structure that effectively resists shaking, bumping, and lateral forces during transport, preventing displacement, tilting, or even overturning of the frame box assembly.

[0090] As mentioned earlier, the baffle 20 is provided with mounting holes 21, which can be either slotted holes or strip-shaped holes. The slotted holes or strip-shaped holes provide an adjustable mounting range for the baffle 20. When adjacent frame boxes 100 experience relative displacement due to factors such as force, vibration, or structural deformation, the baffle 20 will not restrict this displacement due to the fixed position of the fixing holes 14. Instead, the baffle 20 can move to a certain extent within the slotted holes or strip-shaped holes, thereby accommodating the relative displacement between the frame boxes 100.

[0091] Unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein is for descriptive purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Terms such as “set” appearing herein can refer to either a component being directly attached to another component or a component being attached to another component via an intermediary. A feature described in one embodiment may be applied, alone or in combination with other features, to another embodiment, unless that feature is not applicable in that other embodiment or is otherwise stated.

[0092] This utility model has been described through the above embodiments. However, it should be understood that the above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit this utility model to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that many more variations and modifications can be made based on the teachings of this utility model, and all such variations and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
