    [0004] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    [0006] The invention, as expressed in the wording of the present specification, refers to a stackable box for transporting products that provides, for the purpose for which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail below, which represent a improvement of the current state of the art.
    [0008] The object of the present invention lies in a box, preferably a box made of plastic material, of the type used to transport products, for example bulk food products such as fruits or vegetables and which has a specially designed configuration for stacking by means of coupling of its base on the edge of the lower box, usually by recessed fit of the base on said edge, which is distinguished by the fact that it comprises additional joining means, specifically based on embedded embedded L-shaped magnetic elements at the corners of the bottom of the box, which provide lateral support between adjacent box stacks, advantageously avoiding the need to use external strapping fastening means to secure palletized stacks of boxes.
    [0010] FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
    [0012] The field of application of the present invention is framed within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of packaging, focusing particularly on the field of stackable transport boxes.
    [0013] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0015] As is known, for the transport of bulk food products, mainly fruits and vegetables, but also others of all kinds, stackable boxes are often used, in particular boxes with mesh walls made of plastic material whose configuration is specially designed to fit together. one on top of the other and form piles that, in turn, are incorporated into the transport pallets.
    [0017] There are a large number of models and applications for this type of box in the world of industry, its main characteristics are:
    [0019] - Diversity of measures
    [0020] - Reusable
    [0021] - Stackable
    [0022] - Hygienic.
    [0023] - They are not affected by humidity and cold
    [0025] In any case, what they all have in common is that they are stackable at the bottom and nest against each other to form a stack.
    [0027] Another common denominator is that the boxes, to optimize space, are usually standard measurements such that their multiples form exact bases tailored to the shipping unit (Pallet 1200x800 mm).
    [0029] The problem is that, to transport the complete pallet with several stacks of boxes and provide it with resistance, it is necessary to strap it, to prevent the stacks from separating and falling.
    [0031] There are several ways of strapping the pallets of stacks of boxes, for example with plastic film, corner pieces and strapping tape in various heights, only strapping tapes, etc ,,, the objective is that the different piles are compact with each other, since only the embedded coupling of some boxes with others does not ensure the union between the various stacks, which can be very high.
    [0033] The objective of the present invention is to provide an improved type of transport box that avoids said need for strapping to ensure the lateral and frontal connection of the stacks of boxes, especially when they are mounted on the pallets, saving both time and costs. material for strapping said pallets.
    [0035] On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that some types of storage boxes for stackable articles are already known that include magnetic attachment means to provide lateral and frontal fixation.
    [0037] Thus, document SE434725B discloses a box for the storage and stacking of articles that can be stacked in columns and that has magnetic means incorporated in the upper outer face consisting of magnets and band-shaped iron bodies, which are distributed in the outer contour of the box. This document incorporates 4 magnets with a positive sign and 4 ferrous materials, our number of magnets being half.
    [0039] Document WO2017178370A1 discloses a storage bucket and a system with storage buckets configured to be placed in stacks that have means to be lifted by a lifting frame provided with gripping devices in which connection means are included, in one or more of its sides, which serve to align, connect and provide stability to the set of cuvettes and may consist of magnetic means, located in the upper frame of the box and in the central part, for a very specific activity.
    [0041] Likewise, document US2012267366A1 discloses a box structure for the storage of objects designed to stack sets of boxes, one on top of the other and with means to give stability to a set of columns of adjacent boxes. Said means can be magnets and are housed in the upper and lateral surface of the upper frame and in the lower and lateral surface of the lower frame.
    [0043] However, none of the inventions mentioned, taken individually or in combination, describes a stackable box for transporting products that has technical and structural characteristics that are the same or similar to those specifically presented by the box claimed herein.
    [0045] EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
    [0047] The stackable box for transporting products that the invention proposes is configured as the ideal solution to the aforementioned objective, the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish it conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.
    [0049] Specifically, what the invention proposes, as noted above, is a box, preferably a box of plastic material, of the type intended for the industrial transport of products, for example bulk food products such as fruits and vegetables, whose configuration is specially designed to allow its stacking by coupling its base on the edge of the lower box, normally by recessed engagement of one or more protrusions of the base on said edge, which has the advantageous feature of comprising joining means additional, specifically magnetic joining means, intended to provide lateral and frontal fixation between boxes and, consequently, between stacks of boxes, thereby avoiding the aforementioned need to use fastening means with external strapping for the formation of transport pallets with several stacks of boxes.
    [0051] For this, and more specifically, in addition to the aforementioned recessed coupling or similar systems, the box incorporates additional joining means which are magnetic joining means comprising artificial magnets (with positive polarity), specifically two, and a identical number of elements of ferric material (with negative sign polarity), which, both in one case and in the other, have an L-shaped configuration and are incorporated alternately (diagonally) located in the corners of the base of the box, in such a way that, regardless of the position in which the stacks of boxes are placed, the magnets (with a positive sign) and the ferromagnetic elements (with a negative sign) of adjacent boxes are placed in a coincident position and, consequently, the magnetic attraction between one and the other elements of opposite sign, positive and negative, is produced, leaving the boxes of a pile and another perfectly united to each other.
    [0053] In addition, the fact that they are only located in the corners of the base of the box means that with a simple rocking movement of the box, the magnets are disengaged to separate the boxes, which makes it easier to dismantle the boxes. stacks without the risk of knocking over all the boxes.
    [0055] In automated systems, battery decoupling can be done automatically through conveyor belts. The first step is to separate the columns of boxes joined by the magnets and the second step is unstacking the boxes.
    [0056] To carry out the first step, that is, the separation or uncoupling of columns of boxes can be done in two ways:
    [0058] A: By means of two conveyor belts on each of which a column of boxes is placed. The conveyor belts are initially at the same level and throughout the conveyance these conveyor belts progressively separate to position themselves at a different level, also causing a progressive disengagement of the adherence of the magnets to the columns of boxes.
    [0060] B: By means of two conveyor belts on each of which a column of boxes is placed. The conveyor belts are initially at the same level and throughout the conveyance these conveyor belts incline one with respect to the other progressively causing an also progressive disengagement of the adherence of the magnets from the columns of boxes as is done in manual decoupling but instead of balancing a single box, the column of boxes is balanced.
    [0062] In addition, preferably, both the L-shaped magnets and the ferrous pieces, also L-shaped, that the box has are incorporated embedded within the plastic material that makes up its structure, so that they cannot detach or fall. with the use.
    [0064] With this, the main advantage is that the use of any type of strap is not necessary to guarantee the robustness of the stacks of boxes, as they are joined together frontally and laterally. This, in turn, saves time in the incorporation of said straps and, in addition, avoids the use of them, which implies a commitment to the environment, since this type of strapping is usually made of plastic and only one use.
    [0066] DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    [0068] To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, the present specification is attached, as an integral part thereof, to a drawing in which, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature the following has been represented:
    [0070] Figure number 1.- Shows a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of the stackable box for transporting products that is the object of the invention, showing its configuration and the parts and elements it comprises;
    [0072] Figure number 2.- Shows a schematic side elevation view of two stacks of two boxes, according to the invention, located adjacently, showing the way in which they are joined together;
    [0074] Figure number 3.- Shows a schematic bottom plan view of four boxes joined laterally to each other through the magnetic joining means that it comprises; and
    [0076] Figure number 4.- It shows again a schematic side elevation view of two stacks of three boxes, according to the invention, located adjacently, showing the way in which, by means of a rocking movement, the upper box can be easily uncoupled from the stack of boxes.
    [0077] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    [0079] In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, an example of a non-limiting embodiment of the stackable box for transporting products of the invention can be seen in them, which comprises what is described in detail below .
    [0081] Thus, as can be seen in said figures, the box (1) of the invention is of the type that presents a prismatic configuration, normally rectangular, provided with means of coupling its lower base (1a) on the upper edge (1b) of another identical box (1) located below to form stacks of boxes (1), for example a protrusion (2) at its lower base (1a) that fits embedded in the edge (1b).
    [0083] And, from said already known configuration, the box (1) is distinguished by further comprising additional joining means (3, 3 ') that provide lateral and front fixing between adjacent boxes (1) and, consequently, between stacks of adjacent boxes (1).
    [0085] Specifically, said joining means (3, 3 ') are magnetic joining means comprising:
    [0087] - two artificial magnets (3) (with a positive sign) and with an L-shaped configuration, located and embedded respectively in two of the diametrically opposite corners of the base (1a) of the box (1), so that each branch of said L is extended to one side of the box, and
    [0089] - two iron pieces (3 ') (with a negative sign) and equally L-shaped, located and embedded each one in the other two corners of the base (1a) of the box (1), also so that each branch of its L-shape extends to one side of the box,
    [0091] such that, regardless of the orientation in which the boxes are placed (1) or stacks of boxes (1), on the adjacent sides, the magnets (3) of each box (1) are located in a coincident position with the ferrous pieces (3 ') of the adjacent side and front box (1) .
    [0093] Preferably, the box (1) is made of plastic material and both the magnets (3) and the ferrous pieces (3 ') are embedded embedded within said plastic material that makes up the structure of the box (1).
    [0095] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field understands its scope and the advantages derived from it.
