Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of container technology, specifically to a modular folding container expansion box. Background Technology

[0002] Modular folding container expansion container is an innovative container product based on standardized containers, which achieves flexible space expansion through a folding structure. It can be folded into a compact form during transportation, greatly reducing warehousing and transportation costs. At the same time, it can be quickly unfolded when in use, significantly expanding the internal space. In addition, it adopts a modular design, thus having the characteristics of rapid assembly. However, traditional shipping containers, due to their fixed space and limited functionality, cannot meet diverse needs. On the one hand, they occupy a lot of space and are costly to transport; on the other hand, they lack energy self-sufficiency and need to rely on external power supply in remote areas without power grids, thus limiting their practicality.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a modular, collapsible container expansion box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the problem to be solved by this application is to provide a modular folding container expansion box, which can achieve space expansion and energy supply by adding detachable protective components to the box components, thereby effectively making up for the shortcomings of traditional containers.

[0014] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0015] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0016] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this application provides a modular foldable container expansion box, including a box assembly 10 and a protective assembly 20 fixedly installed on the box assembly 10. The box assembly 10 is used to provide foldable and expandable space to meet the space requirements of temporary living, equipment storage and other scenarios. The protective assembly 20 is used to form a protective layer on the surface of the box assembly 10 and integrates photovoltaic power generation function to provide power to the equipment inside the box, thus having the dual functions of structural protection and energy self-sufficiency.

[0017] The box assembly 10 includes a base plate 11 that can be placed on the ground. The base plate 11 is made of high-strength steel and welded together. At the same time, the base plate 11 can effectively support the weight of the personnel and equipment inside the box and adapt to diverse usage needs. The bottom plate 11 has two sides hinged to each other. The side plate 12 includes a metal plate 121 made of metal. The inner side of the metal plate 121 is welded with reinforcing ribs (not shown), which can improve the structural strength and impact resistance of the side plate 12. The side plate 12 can be divided into two groups of outwardly hinged structures, and each group of structures can be folded through the middle outwardly hinged part, which can reduce the overall height of the box assembly 10, facilitate transportation and storage, and reduce the storage space occupation and transportation costs.

[0018] The base plate 11 is also hinged with a folding bracket 14, and the two sets of side plates 12 are hinged with a top plate 13. The top plate 13 is made of lightweight alloy material, which reduces the overall weight while ensuring structural strength.

[0019] When the box assembly 10 is folded as a whole, the two sets of folding brackets 14 will first fold to the top of the inner side of the bottom plate 11. Then, the height of the box assembly 10 will be reduced by folding the two sets of side plates 12 together. At this time, the top plate 13 can move synchronously according to the two sets of side plates 12, so that the box assembly 10 can be folded and reduced. When it is necessary to unfold the entire box assembly 10, the external hoisting equipment can contact the top of the top plate 13. With the upward force, the side plate 12 will gradually unfold upward. Then, by flipping the two sets of folding brackets 14 inside the bottom plate 11, the box assembly 10 can be expanded. After the bottom plate 11, side plate 12, top plate 13 and folding brackets 14 have been expanded, the lead screws can be fixed to each hinge part to stabilize the entire box assembly 10, avoid safety hazards caused by shaking during use, and ensure safety during use.

[0020] The protective component 20 includes several sets of photovoltaic panels 21 that can be installed on the side panel 12 and the top panel 13. The protective component 20 adopts a modular design, and the number of photovoltaic panels 21 can be flexibly increased or decreased according to actual energy demand. If it is necessary to increase the power generation, more photovoltaic panels 21 can be installed on the side panel 12 and the top panel 13.

[0021] Meanwhile, a fixing frame 22 for fixing the photovoltaic panel 21 is fixedly installed on the metal plate 121 of the side plate 12. The fixing frame 22 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0022] Furthermore, each end of the fixed frame 22 is fixedly equipped with a protruding plate 23, which can cover the outside of the photovoltaic panel 21 installed on the fixed frame 22 to form edge protection, avoid damage to the photovoltaic panel 21 caused by external impact, and thus improve the safety of photovoltaic panel 21 installation.

[0023] The fixing frame 22 has a groove 27. The groove 27 can reduce the weight of the fixing frame 22, further reduce the load on the box assembly 10, and at the same time improve the ventilation and heat dissipation performance of the fixing frame 22.

[0024] Meanwhile, a fixing plate 24 penetrating the metal plate 121 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing frame 22. A fixing block 25 located inside the metal plate 121 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 24. The fixing plate 24 and the fixing block 25 are fixedly connected by bolts 26. Through the tightening action of the bolts 26, the fixing frame 22 can be stably fixed on the metal plate 121, thereby firmly installing the photovoltaic panel 21. At the same time, the bolt connection facilitates the subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the photovoltaic panel 21, reducing maintenance difficulty and time cost.

[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
