Description

Folding box The application is a divisional application of patent application No. 202080092592.8, application No. 2020, 12 months and 9 days, and the application name is folding box, and the patent application No. 202080092592.8 is a China national stage application of PCT application No. PCT/AT 2020/060440. Technical Field The invention relates to a folding box for packaging, storing or protecting items, having a housing, wherein the housing has at least three, preferably four, side walls, an upper side and a bottom side, wherein at least partially upright posts are arranged at corner edges of the side walls, and wherein the side walls have connection elements at the bottom side and/or at the upper side for connection to the upright posts. Background Such folding boxes are used for the transport of various types of articles and also for their storage. At the same time, these boxes not only protect the articles, but also create their stackability. In particular in the case of heavy articles stacked one on top of the other, mechanical stability and carrying capacity are indispensable, so that several articles are at least partially enclosed by the folding box. Such folding boxes may be used as disposable packages as well as reusable packages, i.e. they may be reused. Thereby, the folding carton can be brought into a substantially flat position for easy stacking and transport. In this flat position, the side walls at least partially overlap. When it is desired to fold the box, it is unfolded, thus creating a space between the side walls. It is very advantageous that the post can be stored separately from the housing during the flat position in order to achieve good stackable in the flat position. In this context, an item or stored item refers to any one product or substance, e.g. a machine or part thereof, food, etc. In CN 205707739U, a folding box with walls is shown, in which there is a recess on the upper or bottom side, into which a stud can be inserted. These uprights increase the carrying capacity of the box and dissipate the weight of objects placed on the box. However, this is disadvantageous because it creates an opening in the folding box and thus the upright may slide past. In addition, the stud may fall down if it is not engaged with the wall on both sides. KR 20 0468026 Y1 describes a folding box in which the side walls form a receptacle with tabs into which the posts are glued. This allows a more stable connection of the upright to the side wall. However, this design requires the use of adhesives, which is disadvantageous for sensitive items such as food. In addition, the construction is relatively complex because the posts and tabs must remain in place until the adhesive cures. If posts are used in the folding box, they must limit the interior space as little as possible. In addition, it is very important that the assembly is simple and quick. If the posts are arranged on the housing, preferably inside the housing, they may easily fall down or slide into an unfavorable position during assembly. This makes assembly more difficult. In addition, the columns generally have a specific cross section, which can absorb particularly large gravitational forces at specific locations. For example, such a column has several legs that can be moved at least partially relative to each other. If the legs are in an unfavorable position relative to each other, the force absorbing capacity of the column may be reduced. Thus, it is necessary to check whether the upright is in its optimal position just before or during assembly, which is time consuming. Disclosure of Invention It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a folding box of the type mentioned which has a high carrying capacity and which can also be assembled easily and quickly. According to the invention, this object is achieved by designing the connecting element to compensate for positional tolerances and/or shape tolerances of the upright. By compensating for positional tolerances and/or shape tolerances, easier assembly may be achieved, as this allows the connecting element to move the stud to its intended position or posture during assembly. Position tolerances refer to small deviations of the stud from its intended position due to natural manufacturing and material tolerances and material elasticity. Shape tolerance refers to the tolerance of the shape or position of a column to its intended shape, which deviates from the intended shape due to internal stresses in the column or external forces on the column. For example, in the case of an L-shaped upright made of solid sheet, the legs may not be at an optimal 90 ° angle but at a smaller angle. However, this means that they can withstand less load. In this context, it may preferably be provided that at least one upright has at least two legs, and that the connecting element is arranged to press at least two of the legs into a defined position, preferably to press them apart.
