It is apparent that the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art.

Fig. 1 to 15 show a folding container 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the folding container 100 is capable of transporting large cargo. In particular, the present invention provides a collapsible container 100 capable of transporting very long cargo.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the folding container 100 includes a base frame 110 and corner posts 130, and the corner posts 130 are hinged to the base frame 110. The bottom chassis 110 is provided at both ends thereof in the longitudinal direction of the bottom chassis 110 with corner posts 130, respectively. The corner posts 130 are hingedly connected to the ends of the chassis 110. The end of the bottom frame 110 is provided with a hinge shaft 111, and the hinge shaft 111 is hinged with the corner post 130. The corner post 130 can rotate about the hinge shaft 111. The axial direction of the hinge shaft 111 is parallel to the width direction of the base frame 110. Alternatively, the corners of the bottom chassis 110 are provided with hinge shafts 111, and the hinge shafts 111 may be located at the four corners of the bottom chassis 110.

As shown in fig. 3, the folding container 100 further includes a hinge plate 120, and the hinge plate 120 is hinged to the hinge shaft 111. The hinge plate 120 is provided with a hinge hole 121, and the hinge shaft 111 extends through the hinge hole 121. The hinge plate 120 is disposed on the hinge shaft 111, and the hinge plate 120 can rotate relative to the hinge shaft 111. The hinge plate 120 is also connected to a corner post 130. The hinge plate 120 may be coupled to the corner post 130 by welding.

The corner post 130 is hinged to the hinge shaft 111 by the hinge plate 120. As shown in fig. 5, the corner post 130 has a first end surface 131, a bottom surface 132, and a second end surface 133, the first end surface 131 and the second end surface 133 being located on both sides of the bottom surface 132, respectively. The first and second end surfaces 131 and 133 are located at both sides of the bottom surface 132 in a radial direction of the hinge shaft 111, respectively. Alternatively, the bottom surface 132 may be provided with openings through which the hinge plate 120 may be inserted into the corner posts 130. The hinge plate 120 protrudes from the bottom surface 132.

The corner posts 130 are movable between a folded position and an everted position, the corner posts 130 in the folded position being flush with the upper surface of the base frame 110 to save space. To facilitate the ability of the collapsed container 100 to transport over-length cargo, the corner posts 130 in the collapsed position can be moved to the out-turned positions. As shown in connection with fig. 1, the folding container 100 further includes an end frame 170, the end frame 170 having corner posts 130. The end frame 170 may be configured as a gantry structure. The end frame 170 is hinged at the end of the chassis 110. The end stile 170 may be folded toward the interior of the collapsed container 100.

End frame 170 also includes a top cross member 171. The end frame 170 includes two opposing corner posts 130, and the two corner posts 130 are spaced apart in the width direction of the folding container 100. The two corner posts 130 are connected together by a top cross member 171. In order to prevent the end bells 170 in the folded position from protruding from the bottom chassis 110, the bottom chassis 110 has receiving grooves 115, and the top cross member 171 in the folded position may be positioned in the receiving grooves 115. Thereby, space can be saved and the folding container 100 in the folded position can be easily stacked.

The corner posts 130 may be folded inwardly of the case or angled outwardly of the case. The chassis 110 further includes a blocking member 112, and the blocking member 112 is provided to an end of the chassis 110. As shown in connection with fig. 9, the blocking member 112 is located above the hinge shaft 111. The blocking member 112 is located above the hinge shaft 111 in the height direction of the folding container 100. The blocking member 112 is also closer to the outer end of the folding container 100 than the hinge shaft 111 in the length direction of the folding container 100. The blocking member 112 may be configured as a bent structure. The blocking member 112 may have an L-shape in a longitudinal section in the height direction of the folded container 100. The corners of the blocking member 112 face the outside of the folded container 100 in the length direction of the folded container 100. The blocking member 112 may be made of forged or cast steel to be able to withstand large pressures.

As shown in fig. 8, the corner post 130 is in an everted position. The first end surface 131 in the everted position faces the outside of the folding container 100. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the first included angle α between the first end surface 131 and the bottom surface 132 is an obtuse angle. The bottom surface 132 extends obliquely in a radial direction of the hinge shaft 111 toward the first end surface 131. The first end surface 131 and the second end surface 133 are parallel. The angle between the second end surface 133 and the bottom surface 132 is acute.

As shown in fig. 8-11, the bottom surface 132 in the everted position is in contact with the blocking member 112. The blocking member 112 can hold the corner post 130 in the valgus position, thereby blocking the corner post 130 from being excessively flipped about the axial direction of the hinge shaft 111. The blocking member 112 can block the corner post 130 located at the valgus position from continuing to turn about the axial direction of the hinge shaft 111. In particular, the blocking member 112 is able to block the corner post 130 in the everted position from continuing to evert towards the outside of the folding container 100.

The second end surface 133 in the everted position faces the interior of the folding container 100. The second angle beta between the second end surface 133 in the everted position and the upper surface of the chassis 110 is obtuse. The hinge shaft 111 and the blocking member 112 are spaced apart in the height direction of the folding container 100, and the hinge shaft 111 and the blocking member 112 are spaced apart in the length direction of the folding container 100. The hinge axis 111 and the blocking member 112 can jointly restrain the corner post 130 in the valgus position, so that the corner post 130 is maintained in the valgus position. The corner posts 130 in the everted position have a large opening range to facilitate the lifting of lengthy cargo on the base frame 110. The goods 200 can be moved from the outside of the folding container 100 to the bottom frame 110 by lifting, and not moved to the bottom frame 110 by rolling, so that the operation is convenient and the safety is high.

According to the present invention, the foldable container 100 comprises a bottom frame 110, a hinge plate 120 and a corner post 130, wherein an end of the bottom frame 110 is provided with the hinge shaft 111 and a blocking member 112, the blocking member 112 is located above the hinge shaft 111, and the blocking member 112 is closer to an outer end of the foldable container 100 than the hinge shaft 111 along a length direction of the foldable container 100, the hinge plate 120 is hinged to the hinge shaft 111, the corner post 130 has a first end surface 131, a second end surface 133 and a bottom surface 132, the first end surface 131 and the second end surface 133 are respectively located at two sides of the bottom surface 132, a first included angle between the first end surface 131 and the bottom surface 132 is an obtuse angle, the corner post 130 is connected to the hinge plate 120, and the hinge plate 120 protrudes from the bottom surface 132, the corner post 130 is capable of moving between a folded position and an everted position, the corner post 130 at the folded position is flush with an upper surface of the bottom frame 110, a second included angle between the second end surface 133 at the everted position and the upper surface of the bottom frame 110 is an obtuse angle, and the bottom surface 132 at the everted position is in contact with the blocking member 112. Thus, the corner posts 130 in the folded position are flush with the upper surface of the bottom frame 110 for stacking, and the corner posts 130 in the everted position have a wide opening range for facilitating the lifting of the lengthy cargo on the bottom frame 110.

Further, the angles of the first included angle α and the second included angle β can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the contact position of the corner post 130 with the blocking member 112 in the valgus position. Specifically, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the second included angle β is larger than the first included angle α 1. A second included angle β between the second end surface 133 and the top surface of the bottom chassis 110 is greater than an angle of the first included angle α 1 between the first end surface 131 and the bottom surface 132. The bottom surface 132 of the corner post 130 in the everted position contacts the stop member 112 at a location near the end. The bottom surface 132 of the corner post 130 in the everted position contacts the blocking member 112 at a location proximate the exterior of the folding container 100. Thereby, the machining accuracy between the first end surface 131 and the bottom surface 132 can be reduced.

The blocking member 112 can block the corner post 130 located at the inside-out position from being continuously turned toward the outside of the folding container 100 about the axial direction of the hinge shaft 111. The bottom surface 132 in the everted position abuts a top surface of a portion of the blocking member 112. Line contact is made between the bottom surface 132 in the everted position and the blocking member 112. The bottom surface 132 in the everted position forms an acute angle with the top surface 113 of the blocking member 112, reducing the accuracy of the mounting.

As shown in fig. 10 and 11, the second included angle β is equal to the first included angle α 2. The second angle β between the second end surface 133 and the top surface of the bottom chassis 110 is equal to the first angle α 2 between the first end surface 131 and the bottom surface 132. The bottom surface 132 in the valgus position abuts the top surface 113 of the blocking member 112, and the top surface 113 of the blocking member 112 has a large contact area with the bottom surface 132 in the valgus position, so that the blocking member 112 can stably support the corner post 130 in the valgus position. Preferably, the entire top surface of the blocking member 112 conforms to the bottom surface 132 in the everted position, providing increased stability.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, 14 and 15, there is also an upright position between the folded position and the everted position. The second end surface 133 in the upright position is perpendicular to the upper surface of the chassis 110. The second end surface 133 in the upright position is angled at 90 deg. to the chassis 110. The bottom surface 132 in the upright position is spaced from the stop member 112. Thereby, it is ensured that the corner post 130 can be moved between the upright position and the valgus position. The corner post 130 in the folded position can be moved to the upright position and the corner post 130 in the upright position can be moved to the everted position. The corner posts 130 in the everted position are capable of moving in reverse to the upright position and the corner posts 130 in the upright position are capable of moving to the folded position. Of course, the corner posts 130 move directly from the folded position to the everted position, or the corner posts 130 move directly from the everted position to the folded position without stopping in the upright position.

The folding container 100 may include two corner posts 130, the two corner posts 130 being spaced apart along the length of the folding container 100. Two corner posts 130 are respectively hinged to both ends of the folding container 100 in the longitudinal direction. The maximum opening dimension D1 between the tops of the two corner posts 130 in the valgus position is greater than the maximum opening dimension between the tops of the two corner posts 130 in the upright position. In this way, cargo 200 can be placed on the base frame 110 through the largest opening between the tops of the two corner posts 130, and the folding container 100 can transport cargo 200 having a length greater than that of the base frame 110.

As an embodiment, the maximum opening dimension between the tops of the two corner posts 130 in the upright position is equal to the dimension D2 of the bottom frame 110. The maximum opening dimension D1 between the tops of the two corner posts 130 in the valgus position is greater than the dimension D2 of the base frame 110. The maximum opening dimension D1 between the tops of the two corner posts 130 in the everted position is greater than the dimension D3 of the cargo 200. A dimension D3 of the cargo 200 in the length direction of the folding container 100 is greater than a dimension D2 of the bottom chassis 110.

As another example, the dimension D2 of the chassis 110 is greater than the maximum opening dimension between the tops of the two corner posts 130 in the upright position, i.e., where the end of the chassis 110 is beyond the corner posts 130. The maximum opening dimension D1 between the tops of the two corner posts 130 in the valgus position is greater than the maximum opening dimension between the tops of the two corner posts 130 in the upright position. The corner post 130 in the everted position is able to be flipped over to the upright position. The corner posts 130 in the everted position are able to be flipped to an upright position in a direction toward the interior of the collapsed container 100. Preferably, the corner posts 130 in the everted position are capable of being flipped to an upright position along the length of the collapsed container 100.

To improve the stability of the corner posts 130 in different positions, the folding container 100 further comprises diagonal braces 150, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the diagonal braces 150 being used to support the corner posts 130. One end 151 of the diagonal brace 150 is hinged to the base frame 110. As shown in fig. 8, the base frame 110 is provided with a stand 114, and the stand 114 may be coupled to the base frame 110 by welding. The mount 114 is spaced apart from the hinge shaft 111 along the length direction of the bottom chassis 110. The mount 114 is closer to the middle of the base frame 110 than the hinge shaft 111 along the length of the base frame 110. The holder 114 has a holder axis having an axial direction parallel to the axial direction of the hinge axis 111. The diagonal stay 150 rotates about the axial direction of the holder shaft. One end 151 of the diagonal strut 150 has a seat hole. The holder shaft can extend through the holder hole of one end 151 of the diagonal strut 150. The other end 152 of the diagonal brace 150 is able to move relative to the corner post 130 to support the corner post 130 in different positions.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the second end surface 133 of the corner post 130 is provided with a guide assembly 160, and the guide assembly 160 can prevent the diagonal brace 150 from moving and deviating. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the guide assembly 160 includes a guide block 161, and the guide block 161 is coupled to the second end surface 133 of the corner post 130. As shown in fig. 5, the guide 161 may be connected to the second end surface 133 by welding.

Returning now to fig. 4, the guide block 161 has a guide groove 162. The opening direction of the guide groove 162 of the guide holder 161 in the turned-out position faces the inside of the folding container 100. The length direction of the guide groove 162 may be parallel to the length direction of the corner post 130. The other end 152 of the diagonal strut 150 is disposed in the guide slot 162, and the other end 152 of the diagonal strut 150 is movable in the guide slot 162 so that the diagonal strut 150 can move relative to the corner post 130.

Further, the guide assembly 160 further includes a stopper plate 163, and the stopper plate 163 is disposed in the guide groove 162. The stopper plate 163 may be vertically connected to the guide groove 162. The limit plate 163 may be coupled to the guide groove 162 by welding. The thickness direction of the stopper plate 163 may be parallel to the length direction of the guide groove 162. Both ends of the stopper plate 163 in the width direction of the guide groove 162 may be connected to groove walls of the guide groove 162, respectively.

As shown in fig. 12 and 13, the stopper plate 163 is located at an end of the guide groove 162 away from the bottom surface 132 of the corner post 130. The limiting plate 163 in the upright position moves away from the folded container 100 to the everted position. The stopper plate 163 in the upright position moves away from the diagonal stay 150. The retainer plate 163 in the everted position is spaced from the diagonal strut 150. The limiting plate 163 in the everting position does not block the movement of the diagonal strut 150. The diagonal strut 150 is movable in the guide groove 162 in the length direction of the guide groove 162.

The diagonal brace 150 is movable toward the end of the guide slot 162 near the bottom surface 132 of the corner post 130. The shoe 161 in the everted position is moved towards the folding container 100 to the upright position. The guide holder 161 in the turned-out position moves toward the inside of the folding container 100, and the stopper plate 163 can approach the diagonal brace 150.

As shown in fig. 14 and 15, the stopper plate 163 can restrict the movement displacement of the diagonal stay 150. In particular, the stopper plate 163 in the upright position can restrict the movement displacement of the diagonal stay 150. The diagonal stay 150 can move in the direction of the stopper plate 163 along the length direction of the guide groove 162. The stopper plate 163 in the upright position abuts the other end 152 of the diagonal brace 150. The diagonal braces 150 can prevent the corner posts 130 in the upright position from continuing to move toward the folding container 100 to the folded position. The diagonal brace 150 and the limit plate 163 are used in cooperation to prevent the corner post 130 from falling down into the box. Thereby, the corner post 130 can be kept in the upright position, and the corner post 130 in the upright position can be prevented from falling down and hitting the cargo 200.

As shown in fig. 7, both ends of the diagonal strut 150 have holes, one end 151 of the diagonal strut 150 is used for being hinged with the support 114 of the bottom frame 110, and the other end 152 of the diagonal strut 150 is used for being connected with a guide seat 161. In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the guide holder 161 and the diagonal brace 150, as shown in fig. 4, the folding container 100 further includes a positioning member 164, and the positioning member 164 is used to connect the guide holder 161 and the diagonal brace 150.

The positioning member 164 may be configured as a latch. The guide holder 161 is further provided with a positioning hole 165, and the positioning hole 165 is disposed near the limiting plate 163. The other end 152 of the diagonal strut 150 has a mating hole 153. As shown in fig. 2 and 15, the positioning member 164 is inserted into the fitting hole 153 and the positioning hole 165 located in the upright position. Thereby, the guide seat 161 and the other end 152 of the diagonal brace 150 are connected together, so that the diagonal brace 150 blocks the movement of the corner post 130 and ensures that the corner post 130 is located at the upright position. The limiting plate 163 located at the upright position can be abutted against the inclined strut 150, so that the matching hole 153 can be directly aligned with the positioning hole 165 located at the upright position, manual alignment is not needed, and time and labor are saved.

The folding container 100 may include two end stiles 170, the two end stiles 170 being oppositely disposed along the length of the folding container 100. Both end stiles 170 in the folded position can be respectively turned to the everted position. As shown in fig. 12, the maximum opening dimension between the tops of the two end stiles 170 in the out-turned position is greater than the dimension of the base frame 110. The maximum opening dimension between the tops of the two end stiles 170 in the everted position is greater than the dimension of the cargo 200. The cargo 200 may have a size larger than that of the bottom chassis 110. Cargo 200 may be moved from top to bottom by a spreader through the top opening between the two end frames 170, and cargo 200 is placed on the base frame 110 through the top opening between the two end frames 170.

Both end stiles 170 in the flipped position can be flipped to the upright position, respectively. The top cross member 171 does not interfere with the cargo 200 placed on the underframe 110 during the process of turning the end frame 170 in the turned position to the upright position. As shown in fig. 14, the cargo 200 may be larger in size than the opening between the tops of the two end stiles 170 in the upright position. The end stiles 170 in the upright position can be connected to the bottom corners of other containers so that the collapsed container 100 can be stacked with other containers.

When the end frame 170 is everted, the other end 152 of the diagonal strut 150 slides along the guide groove 162. When the end bell 170 is tipped to its maximum angle, i.e., the end bell 170 is in the everted position, the other end 152 of the diagonal strut 150 remains positioned in the guide channel 162. When the end frame 170 is turned from the outside to the inside, the other end 152 of the diagonal brace 150 slides upwards along the guide groove 162 until the other end abuts against the limiting plate 163 and cannot slide. The latch hinges the other end 152 of the diagonal brace 150 to the positioning hole 165 to hold the end stile 170 in the upright position.

When the end frame 170 is turned outwards to load the cargo 200, since the other end 152 of the diagonal brace 150 is placed in the guide groove 162, even if the end frame 170 is collided by the outside, or the end frame 170 turns inside the box during loading, the diagonal brace 150 will finally prop against the limit plate 163, and the end frame 170 cannot continue to turn inside the box, thereby playing a role in safety protection.
