Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of logistics carriers, specifically to iron-plastic boxes. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial production sector, various logistics vehicles are often needed to store and transfer products to facilitate subsequent transportation, processing, and use. The wind power industry transports raw materials that are relatively large in size, and usually uses large-sized iron boxes. This new type of iron-plastic box is one of the more commonly used types and is widely used in the transportation of raw materials in the wind power industry, showing great application prospects.
[0003] Existing steel boxes for transporting fiberglass products used in wind turbine blades lack side panel protection, resulting in poor protection. Their stacking properties are also inadequate, with unstable base limiting structures, posing a safety hazard of tipping over when fully loaded. The risk increases further when folded, making multi-layer stacking difficult and complicating warehousing and transportation. Furthermore, these boxes are too tall when folded, leading to high recycling and transportation costs. Another type of steel box for transporting fiberglass products uses excessive chassis material, resulting in excessive weight and high transportation costs. Its base has a single forklift entry size, making it incompatible with various forklifts or hand forklifts. The side and end panels can only be folded inwards, not outwards, causing inconvenience during loading and unloading.
[0004] Therefore, a solution is needed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] Example 1
[0022] To address the aforementioned issues: existing steel boxes for transporting fiberglass products used in wind turbine blades lack side panel protection, resulting in poor protection; their stacking properties are inadequate, with unstable base limiting structures, posing a safety hazard of tipping over when fully loaded; the risk increases when stacked in a folded state, making multi-layer stacking difficult and increasing the complexity of warehousing and transportation; furthermore, the folded height of these boxes is excessive, leading to high recycling and transportation costs; another type of steel box for transporting fiberglass products used in wind turbine blades uses excessive chassis material, resulting in excessive weight and high transportation costs; the base has a single forklift entry size, making it incompatible with different forklifts or hand forklifts; and the side and end panels can only be folded inwards, not outwards, causing inconvenience for loading and unloading.
[0023] The solution is as follows: A metal-plastic box, comprising a device body 1, which includes a base plate 2, a first upright device 3, a second upright device 4, a third upright device 5, a fourth upright device 6, a first side plate 7, a second side plate 8, a first end plate 9, and a second end plate 10. The first upright device 3, second upright device 4, third upright device 5, and fourth upright device 6 are welded to the four corners of the base plate 2. The first upright device 3 is located at the front left end of the base plate 2, the second upright device 4 is located at the front right end of the base plate 2, the third upright device 5 is located at the rear left end of the base plate 2, and the fourth upright device 6 is located at the rear right end of the base plate 2. The first side plate 7 is hinged to the top front of the base plate 2 and located between the first upright device 3 and the second upright device 4. The second side plate 8 is hinged to the base plate 2. On the top rear side, and located between the third column device 5 and the fourth column device 6, the first end plate 9 is hinged to the top left side of the base plate 2 and located between the first column device 3 and the third column device 5. The second end plate 10 is hinged to the top right side of the base plate 2 and located between the second column device 4 and the fourth column device 6. The first side plate 7, the second side plate 8, the first end plate 9 and the second end plate 10 are all rectangular in shape. The surfaces of the first side plate 7, the second side plate 8, the first end plate 9 and the second end plate 10 are provided with an upper reinforcing beam 12, a lower reinforcing beam 13 and a vertical connecting beam 14. The vertical connecting beam 14 is welded between the upper reinforcing beam 12 and the lower reinforcing beam 13. The left and right sides of the surfaces of the first side plate 7, the second side plate 8, the first end plate 9 and the second end plate 10 are all equipped with pin assemblies 15.
[0024] Analysis of the above content: The first column device 3, the second column device 4, the third column device 5, and the fourth column device 6 are welded to the four corners of the base plate 2 as vertical supports; the first side plate 7, the second side plate 8, the first end plate 9, and the second end plate 10 are connected to the base plate 2 and the first column device 3, the second column device 4, the third column device 5, and the fourth column device 6 through hinges to form an openable rectangular enclosure structure; the upper reinforcing beam 12, the lower reinforcing beam 13, and the vertical connecting beam 14 provide structural reinforcement for the side plates and end plates; the pin assembly 15 cooperates with the pin insertion block 19 on the column square tube 16 to achieve enclosure locking. During loading and unloading, the first side plate 7, the second side plate 8, the first end plate 9, and the second end plate 10 can be opened by hinges (the operating space is larger when opened outwards); after loading and unloading, each plate is flipped closed, and the pin assembly 15 is inserted into the pin insertion block 19 to complete the locking. The flip-out side plates and end plates form an enclosure to protect the fiberglass products, solving the problem of no side plate protection and poor protection; the outward flip design greatly improves the convenience of loading and unloading; the upper reinforcing beam 12, the lower reinforcing beam 13, and the vertical connecting beam 14 enhance the structural strength of the side plates and end plates and prevent deformation.
[0025] Example 2:
[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: the first column device 3, the second column device 4, the third column device 5 and the fourth column device 6 all include a column square tube 16, a supporting and stabilizing foot 17 and a square tube plug 18. The column square tube 16 and the supporting and stabilizing foot 17 are smoothly transitioned and integrally formed. The column square tube 16 is located at the top of the supporting and stabilizing foot 17. The square tube plug 18 is inserted into the top of the column square tube 16. A set of pin insertion blocks 19 are provided on the surface of the column square tube 16.
[0027] Analysis of the above: The upright square tube 16 provides vertical support for the iron-plastic box and is integrally formed with the support stabilizing foot 17 (smooth transition). When stacking, the support stabilizing foot 17 can cooperate with the lower structure (such as the upright square tube 16 and the base plate 2) to achieve positioning. The square tube plug 18 seals the top of the upright square tube 16 to prevent debris from entering. When stacking multiple layers, the support stabilizing foot 17 of the upper iron-plastic box is aligned with the corresponding position of the lower upright square tube 16 or the base plate 2 to achieve stable stacking. During disassembly and assembly, the square tube plug 18 can be quickly inserted and removed (if internal operation of the upright is required). The upright square tube 16 and the support stabilizing foot 17 are integrally formed, resulting in strong structural stability and solving the problems of unstable positioning and easy tipping during stacking. The pin insertion block 19 cooperates with the pin assembly 15 to achieve quick locking of the side plates and end plates, making operation convenient.
[0028] Example 3:
[0029] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: a set of bottom support frames 11 are provided at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the bottom plate 2, and bottom support frames 11 are provided at the left and right ends of the bottom of the bottom of the bottom plate 2. A forklift access position 20 for stackers is provided at the bottom of the bottom of the bottom plate 2. The bottom support frame 11 includes a reinforcing support square tube 21 and a reinforcing flat iron 22. There are three reinforcing support square tubes 21. The three reinforcing support square tubes 21 are welded to the top of the reinforcing flat iron 22 in a horizontally equidistant manner. An installation slot 23 is opened inside the reinforcing support square tube 21. A reinforcing structural block 24 is installed in the installation slot 23. The reinforcing structural block 24 has a cross-shaped structure.
[0030] Analysis of the above: The reinforced support square tube 21 and the reinforced flat iron 22 of the bottom support frame 11 are welded to form the bottom support frame, and the internal cross-shaped reinforcing structural block 24 (installed in the mounting slot 23) enhances the support strength; the forklift access position 20 for stackers provides an adaptation space for forklift entry. When using different equipment such as stackers and hand forklifts, the forklift forks can be adapted to the layout of the forklift access position 20 or the bottom support frame 11 to achieve the handling and stacking of iron-plastic boxes. The cross-shaped reinforcing structural block 24 greatly improves the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the bottom support frame 11, ensuring the stability of full-load stacking; the forklift access position 20 for stackers solves the problem of single forklift entry size and inability to adapt to different forklifts, improving the efficiency of warehouse transfer.
[0031] Example 4:
[0032] Please see Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: the surface of the base plate 2 is provided with a plurality of groups of weight-reducing and reinforcing holes 25 distributed in a horizontally equidistant manner. The weight-reducing and reinforcing holes 25 are circular in shape. The weight-reducing and reinforcing holes 25 are provided with stabilizing structural blocks 26 inside. The stabilizing structural blocks 26 are triangular in shape. A stabilizing structural hole 27 is provided in the middle of the stabilizing structural block 26. The stabilizing structural hole 27 is triangular in shape.
[0033] Analysis of the above content: The circular weight-reducing and reinforcing hole 25 reduces the amount of raw materials used in the base plate 2. The internal triangular stabilizing structure block 26 (and the triangular stabilizing structure hole 27 in the middle) utilizes the structural stability of triangles to enhance the overall strength of the base plate 2 while reducing weight. This reduces the weight of the iron-plastic box (solving the problems of excessive material usage, excessive weight, and high transportation costs in the chassis), while ensuring the load-bearing capacity of the base plate 2 through the triangular stabilizing structure, thus achieving a balance between weight reduction and strengthening.
[0034] Working principle: The base plate 2 serves as a load-bearing platform, and a three-dimensional frame is constructed through the four corner welded first column device 3, second column device 4, third column device 5, and fourth column device 6 (each column includes a square tube 16 and a supporting stabilizing foot 17, integrally formed to reinforce vertical support); the first side plate 7, second side plate 8, first end plate 9, and second end plate 10 are connected to the front, rear, left, and right sides of the top of the base plate 2 respectively by hinges, and are located between adjacent column devices to form an openable enclosure surface; each side plate and... The upper reinforcing beam 12, lower reinforcing beam 13, and vertical connecting beam 14 on the surface of the end plate are welded to form a grid-like reinforcing structure, which improves its resistance to deformation. When each plate is flipped upward to a vertical state, the pin assemblies 15 on its left and right sides are inserted into the pin insertion blocks 19 of the corresponding column square tube 16 to achieve rigid locking with the column. Finally, together with the base plate 2 and the column device, a closed rectangular main structure is formed, which protects the internal fiberglass products through the enclosure surface and ensures the overall load-bearing capacity and stacking stability with the help of the frame and reinforcing structure.
[0035] The present invention comprises: 1. Device body; 2. Base plate; 3. First column device; 4. Second column device; 5. Third column device; 6. Fourth column device; 7. First side plate; 8. Second side plate; 9. First end plate; 10. Second end plate; 11. Bottom support frame; 12. Upper reinforcing beam; 13. Lower reinforcing beam; 14. Vertical connecting beam; 15. Pin assembly; 16. Column square tube; 17. Support stabilizing foot; 18. Square tube end cap; 19. Pin insertion block; 20. Forklift access position for stacker trucks; 21. Reinforcing support square tube; 22. Reinforcing flat iron; 23. Mounting slot; 24. Reinforcing structural block; 25. Weight reduction and strengthening hole; 26. Stabilizing structural block; 27. Stabilizing structural hole. All components are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principles can be obtained by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. The present invention solves the problem of… The existing steel boxes used for transporting fiberglass products, raw materials for wind turbine blades, lack side panel protection, resulting in poor protection; their stacking properties are inadequate, and the base limiting structure is unstable, posing a safety hazard of tipping over when fully loaded. The risk increases further when stacked in a folded state, making multi-layer stacking difficult and increasing the complexity of warehousing and transportation. Furthermore, these steel boxes are too tall when folded, leading to high recycling and transportation costs. Another type of steel box uses excessive chassis material, resulting in excessive weight and high transportation costs. Its base has a single forklift entry size, making it unsuitable for use with different forklifts or hand forklifts. The side and end panels can only be folded inwards, not outwards, causing inconvenience during loading and unloading. This invention, through the combination of the above components, achieves a lighter weight, higher heavy-duty strength, excellent stacking properties, superior safety properties, and convenient and efficient warehousing and transportation, while also improving convenience during loading and unloading.
