Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics, and in particular to a container. Background Technology

[0002] Existing reusable containers generally consist of a container body and a lid. In actual use, after goods are manufactured and processed, they are loaded into the reusable container, and after filling, the lid is closed. The container is then transported to the customer or destination, where unloading is performed using a discharge device at the bottom of the container or by using external equipment to lift and tilt the container. To facilitate discharge, existing reusable containers typically have a discharge port at the bottom for opening and releasing goods. However, goods can easily remain in the corners of the container, making discharge difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a container that facilitates the discharge of goods without occupying internal space.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this utility model provide a container, comprising: The enclosure includes: a base with a discharge port, two pairs of opposing side panels, and a gate for opening or closing the discharge port; the two pairs of side panels form a receiving space around the base; and An inner bag is placed within the receiving space and mounted on the base, and the bottom of the inner bag has a bottom opening that is opposite to the discharge port; the inner bag is at least partially operably filled with fluid to inflate it to form a guide discharge section or to release fluid, and the guide discharge section forms a discharge space with the bottom opening around the side wall of the box and the discharge port, the guide discharge section having a guide wall for guiding the discharge of goods, the guide wall being the wall of the discharge space, the guide wall extending obliquely toward the discharge port and gradually approaching the discharge port.

[0005] Compared to existing technologies, this invention features an inner bag that can be partially filled with fluid to inflate and form a guiding discharge section. When goods need to be discharged, the fluid forms a guide wall within the discharge section, allowing the goods to flow from the discharge space to the bottom opening and then out through the discharge port. When goods no longer need to be discharged, the fluid in the guiding discharge section can be released, preventing the section from inflating and disappearing. This frees up space within the container, reducing the required storage space. The inner bag does not need to be removed to free up storage space, reducing operational difficulty and lowering transportation and storage costs.

[0006] In one embodiment, the guide discharge section has an inflation port, and the side wall of the housing has a mating hole for insertion of the inflation port.

[0007] In one embodiment, the base has a base plate and two pairs of opposing flanges extending upward from the base plate, the two pairs of flanges corresponding to two pairs of side plates, the side plates being connected to their corresponding flanges; the mating holes are disposed on the flanges, and the guide discharge portion covers at least a portion of the flanges.

[0008] In one embodiment, a corner area is formed where the base plate connects to the flange, and the guide discharge portion fills the corner area.

[0009] In one embodiment, the inner bag further has an extension connected to the guide discharge portion, the extension extending along the height direction of the box and extending to the top of the side panel to form the inner wall of the receiving space.

[0010] In one embodiment, the extension portion and the guide discharge portion are integral parts, and the extension portion is a flat isolation layer.

[0011] In one embodiment, the angle between the guide wall and the horizontal plane containing the bottom surface of the guide discharge portion is greater than or equal to 25°.

[0012] In one embodiment, the guide discharge section extends at least partially above the discharge port.

[0013] In one embodiment, the inner bag is detachably connected to the box body.

[0014] In one embodiment, the side plate is hinged to the base and configured to be operably unfolded or folded relative to the base. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] One embodiment of this utility model relates to a container 100. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, container 100 includes a housing 1 and an inner bag 2. The housing 1 includes a base 11 with a discharge port 10, two pairs of opposing side panels 12, and a gate 13 for opening or closing the discharge port 10. The two pairs of side panels 12 form a receiving space 14 around the base 11. The inner bag 2 is placed in the receiving space 14 and disposed on the base 11. The bottom of the inner bag 2 has a bottom opening 20 that is connected to the discharge port 10. The inner bag 2 is at least partially operably filled with fluid to inflate it to form a guide discharge section 21 or to release fluid. The guide discharge section 21 forms a discharge space 23 with a bottom opening 20 around the side wall 15 of the housing 1 and the discharge port 10. The guide discharge section 21 has a guide wall 211 for guiding the discharge of goods. The guide wall 211 is the wall of the discharge space 23. The guide wall 211 extends obliquely toward the discharge port 10 and gradually approaches the discharge port 10.

[0024] To facilitate the discharge of goods, a funnel is usually prefabricated at the bottom of the container 100 used for packaging and transportation. Before filling semi-finished or prefabricated goods, the funnel is placed on the base 11 inside the box body 1. When the semi-finished or prefabricated goods inside the box need to be further processed and discharged from the box, the discharge device at the bottom of the box body 1 is opened to discharge the goods. At the same time, the prefabricated or semi-finished goods far from the middle of the discharge port 10 are guided along the side wall of the funnel to move towards the middle of the funnel discharge port 10, and finally all the goods in the box are discharged and emptied. Because the pre-fabricated funnel sidewall inside the box needs to maintain a predetermined angle with the plane of the base 11 in order to guide the goods to the discharge port 10 in the middle, the funnel needs a fixed height. Therefore, when the funnel is placed in the folding container 100 and the goods inside the box are emptied, the funnel needs to be removed before the folding container 100 can be folded. When the container 100 is relatively large, the funnel fits relatively well with the sidewall of the container 100, making the removal of the funnel more complicated and laborious. If the funnel is not removed, its fixed height will occupy space, causing the height of the container 100 to increase after folding, thereby increasing the transportation or storage space of the packaging carrier, and ultimately increasing the empty return cost and warehousing cost of the container 100. In this embodiment, the container 100 is provided with an inner bag 2, and at least part of the inner bag 2 can be filled with fluid to inflate the inner bag 2 and form a guide discharge section 21. Thus, when it is necessary to discharge goods, the filled fluid can be used to form the guide wall 211 of the guide discharge section 21, and the goods are discharged from the discharge space 23 to the bottom opening 20 and then discharged from the discharge port 10. When the goods do not need to be discharged, the fluid in the guide discharge section 21 can be released, so that the guide discharge section 21 no longer bulges and disappears, thereby freeing up the space inside the box 1, reducing the occupation of the storage space 14, and eliminating the need to remove the inner bag 2 to release the storage space 14, reducing the difficulty of operation for operators, and reducing transportation and storage costs.

[0025] The implementation details of this embodiment are described below. The following content is only for the convenience of understanding the implementation details and is not necessary for implementing this solution.

[0026] In this embodiment, the container 100 further includes a cover plate 4 that seals the accommodating space. Side plates 12 are hinged to the base 11 and configured to be operably unfolded or folded relative to the base 11. After the fluid in the inner bag 2 is released, the inner bag 2 can adhere to the side wall 15, and folding the side plates 12 will not be interfered with by the inner bag 2. One pair of side plates 12 are long side plates, and the other pair are short side plates. The long side plates include a lower plate hinged to the base 11 and an upper plate hinged to the lower plate. The upper and lower plates are folded together and operably folded onto the base 11. The short side plates 12 can be folded in the same way. Of course, the side plates 12 can also be a single straight plate. After the side plates are folded onto the base, the cover plate 4 can be placed on the base.

[0027] In addition, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the guide discharge section 21 extends at least partially above the discharge port 10, that is, the guide wall 211 extends to the discharge port 10, so that the goods can be better guided and discharged.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the guide discharge section 21 has an inflation port 212, and the side wall 15 of the housing 1 has a docking hole 150 for inserting the inflation port 212. As shown, the inflation port 212 can extend and be inserted into the docking hole 150 to facilitate fluid filling or releasing. The docking hole 150 can be provided on the side plate 12 or on the base 11.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the base 11 has a base plate 111 and two pairs of opposing flanges 112 extending upward from the base plate 111. The two pairs of flanges 112 correspond to two pairs of side plates 12 respectively. The side plates 12 are connected to their corresponding flanges 112. The mating hole 150 is provided on the flange 112, and the guide discharge part 21 covers at least part of the flange 112.

[0030] In addition, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a corner area 110 is formed at the connection between the base plate 111 and the flange 112, and the guide discharge part 21 fills the corner area 110.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the angle α between the guide wall and the horizontal plane containing the bottom surface of the guide discharge section 21 is greater than or equal to 25°, but other angles are also acceptable in actual use. The gate 13 can be configured as a horizontal push-pull type mounted on the base plate 111 of the base 11 to open or close the discharge port 10, and the gate 13 is also provided with a handle for easy operation.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the inner bag 2 also has an extension 22 connected to the guide discharge section 21. The extension 22 extends along the height direction of the box body 1 and extends to the top of the side plate 12 to form the inner wall of the receiving space 14. The top of the extension 22 is the opening end of the inner bag 2. In order to position the inner bag 2 on the box body 1, the top flipped portion of the extension 22 can be fitted over the top of the box body 1. At this time, the inner bag 2 can separate the goods from the side wall surface 15 of the box body 1, which can meet the need for additional protection of some goods. The inner bag 2 can be detachably connected to the box body 1. When it is necessary to replace the inner bag 2, the inner bag 2 can be removed from the box body 1. In some embodiments, the inner bag 2 can also be fixedly connected to the box body 1, such as by sticking it to the box body 1 or fastening it to the box body 1.

[0033] In addition, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the extension section 22 and the guide discharge section 21 are an integral part, and the extension section 22 is a flat isolation layer. That is to say, the guide discharge section 21 is a part that can be filled with fluid and release fluid, but the fluid cannot enter the extension section 22. The extension section 22 is only used as a partition to separate the goods from the side wall surface 15 of the container 1.

[0034] When using the container 100 in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the inner bag 2 can be initially empty. After the goods inside the box 1 are emptied, the remaining material is drained by injecting fluid into the inner bag 2, causing it to expand and form a guide discharge section 21. This fluid can be gas or liquid. The injected fluid can be plugged through the air inlet 212 to prevent fluid leakage. The corner area 110 of the base 11 is filled and roughly forms a funnel to assist in the discharge and emptying of the remaining material. Finally, the fluid in the inner bag 2 is released, the inner bag 2 is flattened, and then the box 1 is folded.
