Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edge strip technology for pallet boxes, specifically a foldable edge strip applied to pallet boxes. Background Technology
[0002] A palletized box is a modular packaging container consisting of a pallet, a box body, and a lid assembled by stacking. Its core feature is that it uses one or more sections of side panels to form an adjustable height enclosed space. It is foldable and reusable. When the lid and folding side panels are combined, reinforced edge strips are usually used to reinforce the junction between the lid and the side panels to improve the overall stability of the palletized box during transportation.
[0003] However, existing side strips for pallet boxes are often designed to be too long because their length needs to be matched to the length of the pallet box panels. This results in the side strips taking up too much storage space and making them difficult to store. In addition, when folded side strips are unfolded and connected, they are usually secured with Velcro. However, Velcro loses its adhesiveness due to frequent wear and tear during long-term use, which affects the stability of the unfolded side strips. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable side strip for use in a coffered box, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable side strip for a pallet box, comprising a first half strip, a second half strip on one side of the first half strip, the other side of the back of the first half strip being connected to the other side of the front of the second half strip via a connecting piece, a tube being provided on one side of the back of the first half strip and one side of the front of the second half strip, a insertion hole being provided at the top of the two insertion holes, a rod being inserted through the inner side of the two insertion holes, a through hole being provided at the bottom of the two rods, a limit rod being inserted through the inner side of the through hole, a first magnetic absorbing piece being provided on one side wall of the first half strip, and a second magnetic absorbing piece being provided on one side wall of the second half strip.
[0006] Preferably, a slot is provided at the top of the back side of the first half strip, and a locking strip is fixedly connected to the top of the front side of the second half strip. The locking strip is movably embedded and connected to the slot through the first half strip.
[0007] Preferably, the inner walls of both the first half and the second half are embedded with inner bite strips.
[0008] Preferably, the first half-strip is engaged with the second half-strip via a plug and a rod.
[0009] Preferably, the first magnetic absorbing sheet is magnetically connected to the second magnetic absorbing sheet via a first half strip.
[0010] Preferably, one end of the limiting rod is provided with a circular plate, and the circular plate is attached to one of the insert rods through the limiting rod.
[0011] Preferably, a horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the top of the two insert rods, and the horizontal plate is engaged with the insert cylinder through the insert rods.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This foldable side strip, applied to a collapsible box, uses a connecting piece, a first magnetic piece, and a second magnetic piece to magnetically attract and fix the first and second halves of the strip after folding. This allows the long side strip to be folded to half its original length, reducing the storage space occupied by the side strip after use and making it easier to store.
[0013] 2. This foldable side strip, applied to the box panel, uses inserts, holes, and rods. When the first and second halves are unfolded, the inserts on the first and second halves will fit together. At this time, the rods on both sides of the bottom of the horizontal plate can be inserted into the two inserts through the holes, so that the first and second halves can be connected through the inserts. With the help of the limiting rod, the rods can be kept in the inserts, thereby improving the stability of the foldable side strip after unfolding and connecting. Attached Figure Description

For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment applies to the foldable side strip of the enclosure box, including a first half strip 1, a second half strip 7 on one side of the first half strip 1, and the other side of the back of the first half strip 1 is connected to the other side of the front of the second half strip 7 through a connecting piece 10. A tube 2 is provided on one side of the back of the first half strip 1 and one side of the front of the second half strip 7. A hole 3 is opened at the top of the two tubes 2, and a rod 12 passes through the inner side of the two holes 3. A through hole 14 is opened at the bottom of the two rods 12, and a limit rod 13 is inserted through the inner side of the through hole 14. A first magnetic piece 8 is provided on one side wall of the first half strip 1, and a second magnetic piece 11 is provided on one side wall of the second half strip 7.
[0020] Specifically, the first half strip 1 and the second half strip 7 are of the same length, and their cross-sections are U-shaped, allowing them to be secured to the top of the enclosure box. This reinforces and supports the folded enclosure, ensuring that the opened enclosure can be opened and maintained in an open state. When the first half strip 1 and the second half strip 7 are unfolded and joined together, the side walls of the two inserts 2 will fit together, and the two insert rods 12 can be inserted into the two inserts 2 respectively, allowing the two inserts 2 to be connected. The connecting piece 10 ensures that the first half strip 1 and the second half strip 7 remain connected even after being folded laterally. The inner diameter of the insertion hole 3 matches the outer diameter of the insert rod 12, allowing the insert rod 12 to be smoothly inserted into the insertion hole 3. The length of the insert rod 12 is longer than the length of the insert 2, allowing the bottom of the insert rod 12 to protrude, facilitating the subsequent insertion of the limiting rod 13 through the through hole 14 at the bottom of the insert rod 12. The limiting rod 13 locks the bottom end of the insertion rod 12, keeping it inside the insertion cylinder 2, thus connecting the insertion rod 12 to the insertion cylinder 2. The first magnetic absorbing piece 8 and the second magnetic absorbing piece 11 are opposite magnetic poles, allowing the first magnetic absorbing piece 8 to be magnetically attracted and connected after it is attached to the second magnetic absorbing piece 11. This helps the first half strip 1 and the second half strip 7 to remain attached after folding, making it easier to store the strips later.
[0021] Furthermore, a slot 4 is provided on the top of the back of the first half strip 1, and a slot strip 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the front of the second half strip 7. The slot strip 6 is movably embedded and connected to the slot 4 through the first half strip 1. The length of the slot strip 6 is adapted to the length of the slot 4, so that the slot strip 6 can be smoothly embedded into the slot 4, thereby realizing the engagement of the slot strip 6 and the slot 4.
[0022] Furthermore, the inner walls of the first half strip 1 and the second half strip 7 are both embedded with inner bite strips 5. The inner bite strips 5 are made of silicone and have a frosted surface, which can increase the friction coefficient between the half strip and the top panel of the enclosure box, thereby facilitating the engagement of this side strip with the upper panel of the enclosure box.
[0023] Furthermore, the first half strip 1 is engaged with the second half strip 7 via the insert 2 and the insert rod 12. After the two insert rods 12 connected by the cross plate 9 are inserted into the insert 2 respectively, they can connect the two insert 2, thereby locking the connection between the first half strip 1 and the second half strip 7.
[0024] Furthermore, the first magnetic clasp 8 is magnetically connected to the second magnetic clasp 11 through the first half strip 1, so that the first half strip 1 and the second half strip 7 can maintain their folded state after being folded, making it easier to store and preserve this side strip after folding.
[0025] Furthermore, a circular plate is provided at one end of the limiting rod 13. The circular plate is attached to one of the insert rods 12 through the limiting rod 13. The diameter of the circular plate is larger than the diameter of the limiting rod 13. Its function is to facilitate the gripping of the limiting rod 13, thereby facilitating the insertion of the limiting rod 13 into the through hole 14.
[0026] Furthermore, a horizontal plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the two insert rods 12. The horizontal plate 9 is engaged with the insert cylinder 2 through the insert rods 12. The function of the horizontal plate 9 is to enable the two insert rods 12 to form a connected body, so that the insert rods 12 can be smoothly connected to the two insert cylinders 2, thereby realizing the combined connection of the first half strip 1 and the second half strip 7.
[0027] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: When using the foldable side strip applied to the collapsible box, the second half strip 7 can be separated from the first half strip 1 firstly. At this time, the first magnetic piece 8 on the first half strip 1 will separate from the second magnetic piece 11 on the second half strip 7. Then, the second half strip 7 can be folded along the side wall of the first half strip 1 through the connecting flexible piece 10, so that the front of the second half strip 7 is connected to the back of the first half strip 1. At this time, the locking strip 6 on the front of the second half strip 7 will be inserted into the locking slot 4 on the back of the first half strip 1 until the first half strip 1 is inserted. When the tube 2 is attached to the insert tube 2 on the second half strip 7, the insert rods 12 on both sides of the bottom end of the horizontal plate 9 can be inserted into the two insert tubes 2 through the insertion holes 3 respectively. When the through hole 14 at the bottom of the insert rod 12 is exposed, the limiting rod 13 can be inserted into the through hole 14 at the bottom of the insert rod 12, so that the insert rod 12 is locked in the insert tube 2. At this time, the first half strip 1 and the second half strip 7 will form a complete edge strip. Finally, the bottom of the edge strip can be pressed against the edge of the top of the enclosure box, so that the inner biting strip 5 on the inner side of the edge strip is bitten into the top of the enclosure box.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
