[0034] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, in an embodiment of the present invention, a generator packaging frame is provided, which includes a lower frame 10, an upper frame 20, a plurality of first support arms 30 and a plurality of second support arms 40. In this embodiment, the number of the first support arms 30 and the second support arms 40 is four, and when assembled, the four first support arms 30 or the four second support arms 40 are respectively located at four corners of the lower frame 10 and the upper frame 20. The lower frame 10 and the upper frame 20 are both rectangular frame structures, and the upper frame 20 is located above the lower frame 10. The first support arms 30 are detachably connected to the lower frame 10 and the upper frame 20, respectively. In addition, the second support arms 40 have a length smaller than that of the first support arms 30. Each second support arm 40 corresponds to one first support arm 30. The second support arms 40 are detachably arranged on the first support arms 30, and the second support arms 40 are detachably connected to the lower frame 10 and the upper frame 20, respectively.

At this time, a distance between the lower frame 10 and the upper frame 20 is denoted as L2, as can be seen from comparison between FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. The distance between the upper frame 20 and the lower frame 10 in the state of FIG. 2 is closer, and the packaging frame in this form can be used as a supporting seat of a generator for supporting the generator, so as to improve stability of the generator in the operation process.

[0038] According to the generator packaging frame disclosed by the embodiment, after the first supporting arm 30 is disassembled through the second supporting arm 40 with the shorter design length, the lower frame 10 and the upper frame 20 are connected through the second supporting arm 40, so that the whole height of the packaging frame can be reduced. In addition, the packaging frame can be used as a supporting seat to support a generator, thereby improving the stability of the generator in the running process. The packaging frame has two structural forms, can be used for packaging and transportation of the generator, can be used as a supporting seat of the generator after being reassembled, improves the stability of the generator in the operation process, avoids the waste of materials, and has the advantages of novel structure, various purposes and convenient disassembly and assembly.

[0039] In one embodiment, the first support arm 30 is provided with two first connection portions 31 in the vertical direction. The second support arm 40 is provided with two second connection portions 41 in the vertical direction, the lower frame 10 is provided with four third connection portions, and the upper frame 20 is provided with four fourth connection portions. Each first connection portion 31 includes two first mounting holes, each second connection portion 41 includes two second mounting holes, each third connection portion includes two third mounting holes, and each fourth connection portion includes two fourth mounting holes.

[0040] When the first support arm 30 is connected with the lower frame 10 and the upper frame 20, the first connection portion 31 is connected with the third connection portion and the fourth connection portion respectively. In addition, the first mounting holes are aligned with the corresponding third mounting holes and fourth mounting holes and are fastened by bolts.

[0041] When the second support arm 40 is coupled with the lower frame 10 and the upper frame 20, the second coupling portion 41 is coupled with the third coupling portion and the fourth coupling portion respectively. In addition, the second mounting holes are aligned with the corresponding third mounting holes and fourth mounting holes respectively and are fastened by bolts. The structural design not only can meet the strength requirement of the whole structure but also can achieve the purpose of quick assembly and disassembly.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first support arm 30 is provided with two fifth connecting portions 32 in the vertical direction, and the fifth connecting portions 32 are detachably connected with the second connecting portions 41. Each fifth connecting portion 32 includes a fifth mounting hole, and when the second support arm 40 is mounted to the first support arm 30, the second mounting hole can be aligned with the fifth mounting hole and can be fastened by bolts, thereby enabling the first connecting arm 60 to be quickly assembled and disassembled with the second connecting arm 60.

[0043] In one embodiment, the lower frame 10 is able to fitly stack on the top of the upper frame 20. The structure design enables two or more packing frames to be used in a stacked mode, so that space in the transport case can be fully utilized. The placing positions of the packing frames are standardized, and the packing frames are loaded as much as possible so that the transport cost is saved.

[0044] In one embodiment, when the first support arm 30 is connected to the upper frame 20, the first support arm 30 extends upward out of the top surface of the upper frame 20 and forms a first limiting portion 34. When two package shelves are stacked, under the restriction of four first limit parts 34, the package shelves above can be effectively limited, and the stability during stacking is ensured.

[0045] When the second support arm 40 is connected to the upper frame 20, the second support arm 40 extends upward out of the top surface of the upper frame 20 and forms a second limiting portion 42. In the same way, when the four second limiting parts 42 are used as supporting seats, the positions of the generators can be limited, so that the running stability of the generators on the packaging frame is ensured.

[0046] In one embodiment, the four corners of the lower frame 10 are respectively provided with supporting feet 11. The supporting feet 11 extend downward, and the supporting feet 11 may stack on the top surface of the upper frame 20. The design of the supporting legs 11 promotes the distance between the lower frame 10 and the ground and ensures that when two packaging frames are stacked, a sufficient gap is reserved between the upper frame 10 above and the upper frame 20 below, such that a forklift or hoisting equipment is convenient to transfer the packaging frames above.

[0047] In one embodiment, the upper frame 20 is provided with at least two connection blocks 50, and the connection blocks 50 are detachably connected to the upper frame 20. The connection block 50 is provided with a sixth connection portion 51, and the lower frame 10 is provided with a seventh connection portion that mates with the sixth connection portion 51. When two package frames are stacked, the connection blocks 50 are connected with the package frames above, such that the two package frames can be fastened and connected into a whole. Furthermore, the stability and safety of the package frames in a stacked state are ensured in the transportation process.

[0048] In one embodiment, the first support arm 30 is provided with a flange 33. The first support arm 30 and the second support arm 40 are made of angle steel. Two side edges of the first support arm 30 are respectively bent to form the flange 33. When the first support arm 30 is connected with the lower frame 10 and the upper frame 20, the flange 33 is respectively abutted against the upper frame 20 and the lower frame 10. The structural design of the flange 33 promotes the supporting effect on the upper frame 20, thereby promoting the supporting effect on the upper packing frame when stacking.

[0049] In one embodiment, the packaging frame further comprises four connecting arms 60, each connecting arm 60 being detachably connected to the upper frame 20 and the lower frame 10, respectively. The design of the connecting arm 60 can improve the overall structural strength of the packing frame and also make the safety of the packing frame higher.
