Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a material storage container, specifically a foldable turnover box. Background Technology

[0002] Turnover boxes are typically made of plastic, offering advantages such as being lightweight and rust-resistant, making them convenient for long-term storage and transfer of materials within a workshop. However, they are usually large, taking up considerable space when not in use, thus making them inconvenient to store.

[0003] Existing technologies also disclose some technical solutions for turnover boxes. The patent publication number is CN211494909U, and the patent title is: "A Turnover Box Panel and Turnover Box." The turnover box panel includes a first panel and a second panel. The second panel is thermally welded to the first panel. The first panel and / or the second panel simultaneously have circumferentially distributed circumferential bosses and heat-melting bosses. The circumferential bosses surround the heat-melting bosses, and the height of the heat-melting bosses is higher than the height of the circumferential bosses. A receiving groove is formed between the circumferential bosses and the heat-melting bosses. The turnover box panel disclosed in this utility model, through the addition of circumferential bosses, forms a receiving groove between the circumferential bosses and the heat-melting bosses. This receiving groove can accommodate the molten liquid formed by the thermal fusion of the heat-melting bosses, preventing the molten liquid from flowing out and improving the aesthetics after thermal fusion welding.

[0004] While this solution can store and transfer materials, the turnover boxes in this solution cannot be folded, thus failing to reduce their size. Consequently, the turnover boxes still occupy a significant amount of space when not in use.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but this application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this embodiment proposes a foldable turnover box, including a top cover 11, a side panel assembly 12, and a bottom cover 13. The top cover 11 is mounted on the bottom cover 13 via the side panel assembly 12. The side panel assembly 12 includes:

[0037] Two first side plates 14 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the bottom cover 13 in the width direction; wherein, the first side plates 14 can be directly mounted on the bottom cover 13 via a pivot, or the first side plates 14 can be mounted on the bottom cover 13 via a hinge or a rotating hinge.

[0038] The second side plate 15 is rotatably mounted at both ends of the bottom cover 13 along its length. The second side plate 15 can be mounted on the bottom cover 13 by means of a pivot, hinge or hinge.

[0039] The first locking member 16 is mounted on the second side plate 15 and has a locking part 17 that moves in the vertical direction. The bottom cover 13 is provided with a locking groove 19 for accommodating the locking part 17. The second side plate 15 is used to abut against the inner wall of the first side plate 14.

[0040] The lower end of the top cover 11 has a surrounding plate 18, which is fitted around the outer periphery of the side plate assembly 12 and is used to press against the outer wall of the first side plate 14.

[0041] When the turnover box in this solution is opened, the top cover 11 is removed, and the first side plate 14 is rotated outward to provide room for the rotation adjustment of the second side plate 15. Then, the second side plate 15 is rotated outward. When the second side plate 15 is in a vertical position, the first locking member 16 is manually pushed downward to make the locking part 17 enter the locking groove 19 of the bottom cover 13. At this time, the position of the second side plate 15 is locked. Then, the first side plate 14 is rotated inward. When the first side plate 14 is pressed against the second side plate 15, the first side plate 14 is in a vertical position and cannot continue to rotate inward, but the first side plate 14 can still rotate outward.

[0042] To prevent the first side panel 14 from rotating outward, the top cover 11 is installed above the side panel assembly 12, at which point the first side panel 14 is restricted, and the turnover box is in a secure state.

[0043] The top cover 11 is provided with a material inlet, which facilitates the filling of materials into the turnover box or the removal of materials from the turnover box.

[0044] When the turnover box is not in use, remove the top cover 11, then lift the first locking member 16 upwards. At this time, the locking part 17 moves upwards and disengages from the locking groove 19. Then, rotate the second side plate 15 inwards to fold it in, and then rotate the first side plate 14 inwards to fold it in. Finally, put the top cover 11 onto the first side plate 14 and the second side plate 15. This allows for the storage of the turnover box and effectively reduces the space occupied by the turnover box.

[0045] Furthermore, the second side plate 15 is provided with a first adjustment channel 30 for installing the first locking member 16. The first adjustment channel 30 communicates with the locking groove 19.

[0046] As one embodiment of this example, the first side plate 14 includes a first rotating plate 20 and a second rotating plate 21. The lower end of the first rotating plate 20 is rotatably mounted on the bottom cover 13, and the second rotating plate 21 is mounted on the first rotating plate 20 through a rotating connector 22.

[0047] Furthermore, the rotating connector 22 is located at the junction of the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 21. The rotating connector 22 is located outside the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 21. The rotating connector 22 includes a rotating shaft, and rotating seats are respectively fixed on the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 21. The rotating seats on the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 21 are connected by the rotating shaft.

[0048] The technical advantage of this solution is that when the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 21 are located on the same vertical plane, the upper end face of the first rotating plate 20 and the lower end face of the second rotating plate 21 form a surface contact. Since the rotating connector 22 is located outside the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 21, the second rotating plate 21 can only rotate outward, which facilitates fastening through the enclosure plate 18.

[0049] As one embodiment of this example, the two ends of the second side plate 15 are respectively provided with grooves 23, and the two ends of the first side plate 14 are respectively provided with protrusions 24.

[0050] The adjacent first side plate 14 and second side plate 15 are limited by a groove 23 and a protrusion 24, and the protrusion 24 is inserted into the groove 23.

[0051] The technical advantage of this solution is that it can effectively limit and lock the first side plate 14 and the second side plate 15.

[0052] Alternatively, the groove 23 on the second side plate 15 can be replaced with a slot, and the protrusion 24 on the first side plate 14 can be replaced with a snap-fit ​​part. The snap-fit ​​assembly between the snap-fit ​​part and the slot can improve the bonding strength between the first side plate 14 and the second side plate 15.

[0053] In one embodiment of this invention, the top cover 11 includes a sealing plate 25, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the surrounding plate 18. The sealing plate 25 is used to cover the material inlet. Furthermore, there are two sealing plates 25, and each sealing plate 25 is connected to the surrounding plate 18 via a second locking member 27.

[0054] The inner wall of the enclosure 18 has an insertion interface 26, and the second locking member 27 has an insertion part 28. The closing plate 25 has a second adjustment channel 29 for moving the insertion part 28. The position of the insertion part 28 is adjusted through the second adjustment channel 29, which is used to move the insertion part 28 into the insertion interface 26 or to disengage the insertion part 28 from the insertion interface 26. It is used to control the unlocking state of the closing plate 25.

[0055] The second adjustment channel 29 is connected to the insertion interface 26.

[0056] In one embodiment of this invention, the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 21 are each provided with a reinforcing part 31 to improve the structural strength of the first rotating plate 20 and the second rotating plate 21.

[0057] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
