[0044] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0045] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a storage structure. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a storage structure according to an exemplary embodiment is shown. Figure 1 .like Figure 1 As shown, the storage structure includes:

[0046] The housing 101 has a receiving cavity 102 therein;

[0047] The accommodating cavity has an opening, wherein the opening is used for allowing the accommodating object 104 to enter the accommodating cavity 102;

[0048] The switch mechanism 103 is located in the accommodating cavity 102 and has a first shape and a second shape;

[0049] When the switch mechanism 103 is in the first state, the switch mechanism 103 is used to fix the accommodating object 104 in the accommodating cavity 102 by a second force generated by deformation of the switch mechanism 103 when the accommodating object 102 is subjected to a first force;

[0050] When the switch mechanism 103 is in the second state, the switch mechanism 103 is used to push the accommodating object 104 toward the opening direction by releasing the fourth force generated by the deformation of the switch mechanism 103 when the accommodating object 102 is subjected to the third force;

[0051] The first acting force and the third acting force have the same direction.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the storage structure is used to store the contents so that the contents are not damaged during storage.

[0053] The shell comprises a receiving cavity with an opening, and the received object enters the receiving cavity through the opening.

[0054] It should be noted that the volume and shape of the accommodating cavity are respectively coordinated with the volume and shape occupied by the accommodating object. That is, in the actual design process, the volume of the accommodating cavity can be set according to the volume occupied by the accommodating object, and the shape of the accommodating cavity can be set according to the shape of the accommodating object. For example, when the volume occupied by the accommodating object is A, the volume of the accommodating cavity can be set to be slightly larger than A; when the accommodating object is in the shape of a rod, the shape of the accommodating cavity can also be set to be rod-shaped, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0055] Because the contents need to enter the accommodating cavity through the opening, the cross-sectional area of the opening needs to match the cross-sectional area of the maximum cross-section of the contents in the direction of entry. In other words, in the actual design process, the cross-sectional area of the opening can be set based on the cross-sectional area of the maximum cross-section of the contents. For example, if the cross-sectional area of the maximum cross-section of the contents is B, the cross-sectional area of the opening can be set to be larger than B.

[0056] Of course, the shape of the accommodating cavity opening can also be set according to the shape of the maximum cross-section. For example, when the shape of the maximum cross-section is circular, the accommodating cavity opening can be set to a circular shape; when the shape of the maximum cross-section is rectangular, the accommodating cavity opening can be set to a rectangular shape. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0057] The first form of the switch mechanism may be an initial form of the switch mechanism, that is, a form in which the switch mechanism is in a non-working state, and at this time the switch mechanism has not yet fixed the accommodation object.

[0058] The second form of the switch mechanism may be a form in which the switch mechanism is in a working state, at which time the switch mechanism has fixed the accommodating object in the accommodating cavity.

[0059] In the disclosed embodiments, the switch mechanism can generate different deformations. When a contained object is subjected to a first force, the switch mechanism within the cavity interacts with the contained object, deforming to generate a second force. When the contained object is subjected to a third force, the switch mechanism within the cavity interacts with the contained object, releasing its deformation and generating a fourth force.

[0060] It should be noted that the first and third forces acting on the aforementioned contents can be forces applied to the contents sequentially. When the contents need to be stored in the storage structure, the first force can be applied to the contents, causing them to enter the storage cavity and interact with the switch mechanism to secure them in the storage structure. When the contents need to be removed from the storage structure, the second force can be applied to the contents to facilitate subsequent removal of the contents from the storage mechanism.

[0061] For example, the first and third forces may be forces directly exerted by a user on the container, or may be forces indirectly exerted by a user on the container, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The aforementioned indirect forces exerted by a user on the container include the user exerting forces on the container through an intermediate object to generate the first and third forces.

[0062] It should be noted that the above-mentioned second force and fourth force are respectively generated by the switching mechanism. The second force is used to fix the contents in the storage structure; the fourth force is used to push the accommodating cavity to move toward the opening direction, so that the contents can be taken out from the storage mechanism.

[0063] It can be understood that by applying the first force and the third force in the same direction to the container, the container can be fixed in the storage structure or removed from the storage structure. In this way, there is no need to use force to pull out the container, and the operation is simple. At the same time, the embodiment of the present disclosure fixes the container and subsequently removes the container through the force generated by the deformation of the switch mechanism itself, which can reduce the wear on the container.

[0064] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , the collection agencies also include:

[0065] The control component 105 is located in the accommodating chamber 102 and is used to send a control signal to change the state of the accommodated object within a preset range.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control signal can be used to switch the state of the container. When the container is an electronic device, the state of the container can include a power-on state or a power-off state.

[0067] For example, the control signal can be used to switch the container from an on state to an off state, and can also be used to switch the container from an off state to an on state. In this way, during the process of storing or removing the container, the state of the container can be automatically changed by sending a control signal, without the need for manual operation by the user, making the storage structure more intelligent and improving the user experience.

[0068] In one embodiment, the control component includes:

[0069] The magnetic component is used to transmit a magnetic signal with a coverage range of a preset range.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset range may be the coverage range of the magnetic signal generated by the magnetic component, and the magnetic signal generated by the magnetic component can only be detected within the preset range.

[0071] It should be noted that the preset range may be a circle range with the magnetic component as the center and the first distance as the radius. For example, the first distance may be 10 cm to 50 cm, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0072] Exemplarily, the magnetic component includes but is not limited to a magnet.

[0073] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the opening is located at the first end of the accommodating cavity; the switch mechanism 103 includes:

[0074] The fixing sub-mechanism 103a has at least one blind hole with a variable aperture. When an object is contained in the blind hole, the aperture of the blind hole expands to form a first aperture, and a second force generated by the aperture expansion fixes the object. When no object is contained in the blind hole, the aperture of the blind hole contracts to form a second aperture, wherein the second aperture is smaller than the first aperture.

[0075] The switch sub-mechanism 103b is fixed in the accommodating cavity and is located between the fixed sub-mechanism and the second end of the accommodating cavity, where the second end is the opposite end of the first end. The switch sub-mechanism includes: a locking module. When the accommodating object is subjected to a first force, the locking module engages with the fixed sub-mechanism to which the accommodating object is fixed, and fixes the fixed sub-mechanism in the accommodating cavity.

[0076] In the disclosed embodiment, the fixing sub-mechanism has a blind hole for accommodating at least part of the object to be accommodated. For example, when the object to be accommodated is a thermometer, the blind hole can accommodate a temperature probe of the thermometer for detecting the temperature of the object to be measured.

[0077] It should be noted that when an object is placed in a blind hole, it exerts a squeezing force on the blind hole, causing the hole's diameter to expand to a first diameter. At this point, the squeezed blind hole generates a second force in the opposite direction of the squeezing force. This second force acts on the object, securing it within the blind hole. When the blind hole is empty, the absence of squeezing force causes the hole to contract from the first diameter to the second diameter.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the aperture of the blind hole can be varied. When the blind hole is actually designed, the blind hole can be formed of an elastic material, and the inner wall of the blind hole can also be formed of an elastic material.

[0079] Exemplarily, the elastic material includes, but is not limited to, rubber or elastic plastic.

[0080] It can be understood that setting the blind hole to be made of elastic material can reduce the wear of the accommodation object during the process of fixing the accommodation object.

[0081] In the disclosed embodiment, the fixing sub-mechanism is movably mounted within the accommodating cavity, that is, the fixing sub-mechanism is movable within the accommodating cavity. When the accommodating object is subjected to a first force, the fixing sub-mechanism first fixes the accommodating object and then continues to move toward the second end of the accommodating cavity along with the accommodating object. When the movement of the fixing sub-mechanism to which the accommodating object is fixed interacts with the switch sub-mechanism, the fixing sub-mechanism engages with the engaging module. The engaging module is fixed within the accommodating cavity, and the accommodating object is fixed to the fixing sub-mechanism. Therefore, the switch sub-mechanism can fix the accommodating object within the accommodating cavity by engaging the fixing sub-module.

[0082] In one embodiment, the fixing sub-mechanism includes a clamped module that matches the clamping module, and the clamped module is located in the direction of the blind hole toward the switch sub-mechanism. The clamped module on the fixing sub-mechanism engages with the clamping module, thereby securing the fixing sub-mechanism within the accommodating cavity through the clamping module.

[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, the engaged module 103a1 of the fixing sub-mechanism 103a is engaged with the engaging module 103b1 of the switching sub-mechanism 103b. It should be noted that the engaged module and the engaging module are mechanically engaged.

[0084] It can be understood that the contents are first fixed by the fixing sub-mechanism, and then the fixing sub-mechanism is engaged by the switch sub-mechanism, and the fixing sub-mechanism is fixed in the accommodating cavity. In this way, the contents can be fixed in the accommodating cavity by two fixations. On the one hand, it can increase the reliability of fixing the contents in the accommodating cavity, and on the other hand, it can reduce the damage caused by directly fixing the contents by mechanical engagement, and effectively fix the contents in a fixing method with less damage.

[0085] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the switch sub-mechanism 103b further includes:

[0086] The elastic module 103b2 is arranged on one side of the engaging module 103b1 toward the second end, and is used to generate elastic deformation when the fixing sub-structure 103a is engaged with the switch sub-structure 103b; when the accommodated object is subjected to the third force, the elastic deformation is released to generate the fourth force.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the elastic module forms elastic deformation, acting on the elastic module again can generate a force in the opposite direction.

[0088] Exemplarily, the third force and the fourth force may be forces in opposite directions. The direction of the third force may be from the first end to the second end, and correspondingly, the direction of the fourth force may be from the second end to the first end.

[0089] It should be noted that the fourth action force generated by the elastic module is greater than the action force of the locking module to lock the fixing sub-mechanism. In this way, the fixing sub-mechanism can be pushed toward the opening direction by the fourth action force, thereby causing the contained object to move toward the opening direction.

[0090] Exemplarily, the elastic module may be a module formed of a spring or elastic material.

[0091] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the switch mechanism also includes:

[0092] The guide sub-mechanism is fixed at the second end and includes a guide groove 103c1, wherein the guide groove 103c1 is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity and guides the fixed sub-mechanism 103a to move in the setting direction of the guide groove 103c1;

[0093] The switch sub-mechanism is fixed on the guide sub-mechanism.

[0094] It should be noted that the movement of the fixing sub-mechanism in the direction in which the guide slot is set includes: movement of the fixing sub-mechanism in the direction toward the second end of the guide slot and movement of the fixing sub-mechanism in the direction toward the first end of the guide slot. When the contents are being secured in the storage mechanism, the guide slot of the guiding sub-mechanism is used to guide the fixing sub-mechanism in the direction toward the second end of the guide slot; when the contents are to be removed, the guide slot of the guiding sub-mechanism is used to guide the fixing sub-mechanism in the direction toward the first end of the guide slot.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the guide groove may include a first panel and a second panel, wherein the first panel and the second panel are spaced apart and arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, and both the first panel and the second panel are perpendicular to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity.

[0096] It should be noted that the first panel, the second panel and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity between the first panel and the second panel can form the guide groove to guide the fixed sub-mechanism to move on a fixed track.

[0097] In one embodiment, the fixing sub-mechanism is at least partially located in the guide slot, and is configured to move along the guide slot toward the opening when the fourth force acts on the fixing sub-mechanism.

[0098] It should be noted that at least a portion of the fixing sub-mechanism is capable of moving within the guide groove.

[0099] In another embodiment, the fixing sub-mechanism further includes a sliding member, which is located in the guide groove. The sliding member can slide in the guide groove to drive the accommodation object fixed in the blind hole of the fixing sub-mechanism to move toward the opening direction.

[0100] It can be understood that, through the interaction between the sliding member on the fixed sub-mechanism and the guide groove, the friction force generated by the movement of the fixed sub-mechanism in the guide groove can be reduced, so that the fixed sub-mechanism can move better in the guide groove.

[0101] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the guide sub-mechanism 103c also includes:

[0102] The limiting member 103c2 is located on the side of the guide groove facing the opening, and is used to limit the movement of the fixing sub-mechanism 103a toward the opening when the fixing sub-mechanism 103a moves along the guide groove.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the fourth force acts on the fixed sub-mechanism to cause the fixed sub-mechanism to move toward the opening, it is easy for the fixed sub-mechanism to pop out directly from the opening. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a limit member in the direction of the guide groove toward the opening to limit the fixed sub-mechanism to move only a second distance in the direction of the opening.

[0104] It should be noted that when the fixing sub-mechanism moves toward the opening by the second distance, the contents within the blind hole of the fixing sub-mechanism are exposed outside the opening, and the exposed portion is used to facilitate removal of the contents from the accommodating cavity. In other words, the second distance is set to facilitate removal of the contents from the accommodating cavity, and thus, the second distance can be set based on the user's habit of holding the contents.

[0105] Exemplarily, the second distance may be set to 5 mm or 7 mm, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0106] In one embodiment, the container includes an electronic thermometer.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the container may include, in addition to an electronic thermometer, an electronic pen for teaching, a mercury thermometer, or any other object requiring protection of a portion of the container, without limitation. An electronic thermometer determines temperature using a temperature sensor, while a mercury thermometer determines temperature using the thermal expansion and contraction of mercury.

[0108] It should be noted that the shape of the accommodating cavity can be set according to the shape of the electronic thermometer. When the electronic thermometer is in a rod shape, the shape of the accommodating cavity can also be set to a rod shape, so as to achieve a reasonable design of the accommodating cavity and reduce the space occupied by the storage mechanism.

[0109] like Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The temperature display surface of the existing electronic thermometer 104 faces upwards, and the existing storage electronic thermometer 104 is stored in the storage structure 100, which can be placed in a rectangular plastic packaging sleeve 12. Figure 9 As shown, the opposite side of the temperature display surface of the electronic thermometer 104 faces upward. Figure 8 It can be seen that the electronic thermometer 104 is fixed in the storage structure 100 by means of a buckle, and a buckle position recess 11 appears on the thermometer 104 .

[0110] like Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the thermometer 104, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after being secured to the accommodating cavity 102. The thermometer 104 is secured within the securing sub-mechanism 103a, which is secured to the switch sub-mechanism 103b. Because the securing sub-mechanism 103a secures the thermometer 104 through the force generated by deformation, the securing method of the embodiment of the present disclosure is based on the force generated by physical deformation. Compared to mechanical snap-fit securing methods, this method can reduce damage to the thermometer housing.

[0111] The present disclosure also provides a thermometer. Figure 11 As shown, the thermometer 201 can be stored in the storage structure 202 in one or more of the above embodiments.

[0112] The thermometer comprises:

[0113] The detection module 201a, when the thermometer is stored in the storage structure, the detection module 201a is arranged relative to the control component 202a of the storage structure 202, and is used to detect the control signal sent by the control component when the thermometer moves into the storage cavity of the storage structure or moves out of the storage cavity of the storage structure. The control signal is used to switch the state of the thermometer.

[0114] It should be noted that when the control signal is a magnetic signal, the detection module can be set as a magnetic signal detection module. For example, the detection module includes but is not limited to a Hall sensor.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the thermometer moves into the accommodating cavity, when the detection module on the thermometer moves from outside the preset range to within the preset range, the control signal detected by the detection module changes from nothing to something, and from weak to strong.

[0116] In the process of the thermometer moving out of the accommodating cavity, when the detection module on the thermometer moves from within the preset range to outside the preset range, the control signal detected by the detection module changes from strong to weak, and from present to absent.

[0117] It should be noted that the thermometer can determine whether it is moving into or out of the accommodating cavity based on changes in the control signal. Therefore, when the detection module detects that the control signal becomes increasingly stronger until the electronic thermometer is fixed in the accommodating cavity, it can be determined that the thermometer is moving into the accommodating cavity; when the detection module detects that the control signal becomes increasingly weak until the control signal is no longer detected, it can be determined that the thermometer is moving out of the accommodating cavity.

[0118] Furthermore, when the thermometer moves into the receiving cavity, it indicates that the thermometer needs to be stored in the receiving structure and is no longer in use, and the thermometer needs to be turned off. When the thermometer moves out of the receiving cavity, it indicates that the thermometer is about to be used to measure the temperature, and the thermometer needs to be turned on. Therefore, after determining the movement state of the thermometer, the state of the thermometer can be switched based on the movement state of the thermometer, that is, the thermometer can be switched from the on state to the off state, or from the off state to the on state.

[0119] In this way, by setting a detection module on the thermometer and setting a control component in the storage mechanism, the thermometer can be automatically shut down when the thermometer is placed in the storage structure; when the thermometer is taken out of the storage structure, the thermometer automatically turns on. In this way, through the cooperation between the thermometer and the storage structure, the thermometer can be automatically turned on or off, making the thermometer and the storage structure more intelligent.

[0120] It should be noted that the “first” and “second” in the above embodiments of the present disclosure are only for the convenience of description and distinction and have no other specific meanings.
