By providing a locking mechanism 43 on the door leaf 42, the locking mechanism 43 locks the door leaf 42 to the door frame 41, making it difficult for items in the storage module to fall out, achieving a better locking effect, simpler and more convenient operation, and more secure and stable.

[0037] In one embodiment, the left and right sides of the base plate 1 are provided with upwardly protruding raised portions 12, the top surface of the raised portion 12 is provided with a first hinge groove 13, one side of the first hinge groove 13 extends to the inner side surface of the raised portion 12, and the bottoms of the two side panels 3 are provided with a first hinge shaft 35, which is clamped on the first hinge groove 13.

[0038] Specifically, the bottom of the front plate 4 and the rear plate 5 are respectively provided with a second hinge shaft 44 and a third hinge shaft 51, and the top surfaces of the front and rear sides of the bottom plate 1 are respectively provided with a second hinge groove and a third hinge groove, the second hinge shaft 44 is clamped in the second hinge groove, and the third hinge shaft 51 is clamped in the third hinge groove.

[0039] In the present invention, elevated portions 12 are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom plate 1 to ensure that the side plates 3 can be stacked up and down when the storage module is in a folded state.

[0040] In one embodiment, the side panel 3 includes a side main board 31 and a side wing 32 connected to the side main board 31, the side wing 32 is connected to a side edge card plate 33 extending inward, the side edge card plate 33 is arranged perpendicular to the side wing 32, and the side edge card plate 33 is provided with a buckle groove 34, and the outer surfaces of the two side ends of the front panel 4 and the rear panel 5 are provided with side protrusions 45, the inner side of the side protrusion 45 has a card slot 46 that is engaged with the side edge card plate 33, and the card slot 46 is provided with a protrusion 47 that is adapted to the buckle groove 34. When the storage module is in the expanded storage state, the side edge card plate 33 is engaged with the card slot 46, and at the same time, the buckle groove 34 and the protrusion 47 are limited in the vertical direction.

[0041] In the present invention, the side main board 31 and the side wing 32 are connected by an arc surface, which makes the storage module beautiful; by providing the side edge clamping plate 33, the side protrusion 45 and the clamping groove 46, when the storage module is in the storage state, the side panel 3 is clamped with the front panel 4 and the rear panel 5, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection; while being clamped, the protrusion 47 is clamped with the buckle groove 34, thereby further increasing the stability of the connection, and it is not easy to come off even if it is squeezed by the internal storage items, thereby ensuring the storage effect and meeting the requirements of storing items.

[0042] In one embodiment, the top ends of the two side panels 3, the front panel 4 and the rear panel 5 are provided with an upwardly protruding snap-in portion 7, and the bottom of the base plate 1 is provided with a snap-in groove 14 snap-fitted with the snap-in portion 7.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first stacking method is shown. Figure 6-7. When multiple storage modules need to be stacked up and down, the snap-in groove 14 of the upper storage module is snap-fitted with the snap-in portion 7 of the lower storage module. In this way, multiple storage modules can be stacked to form a storage cabinet. After stacking is completed, the cover plate 2 is placed on the top storage module to complete the stacking. Compared with the traditional direct stacking method, the first stacking method of the present invention has better stability and safety through the snap-in portion 7 and the snap-in groove 14, and the assembly is also convenient and fast. In addition, this type of storage cabinet only requires one cover plate 2, so users do not need to purchase multiple cover plates 2, which meets user needs.

[0044] In one embodiment, the storage module further includes a reinforcement frame 6 having reinforcement grooves adapted to fit within the clipping portions 7. When stacking is not required and the storage module is in the storage state, the reinforcement frame 6 is clipped onto the clipping portions 7, thereby integrally connecting the side panels 3, front panel 4, and rear panel 5. This prevents the side panels 3, front panel 4, and rear panel 5 from folding inward, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the storage module and ensuring a good storage effect.

[0045] In one embodiment, a downwardly protruding supporting protrusion 15 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 1 , and a supporting groove 21 adapted to the supporting protrusion 15 is provided at the top of the cover plate 2 .

[0046] Specifically, a roller 8 is provided at the bottom of the supporting protrusion 15 , and a roller groove 22 adapted to the roller 8 is provided at the bottom of the supporting groove 21 .

[0047] In this embodiment, a second stacking method is shown. Figure 8 ; Stacking multiple storage modules with reinforcement frames 6 and cover plates 2 up and down forms another form of storage cabinet. The specific stacking method is: the support protrusion 15 of the upper storage module is clamped with the support groove 21 of the lower storage module to complete the stacking. After the stacking is completed, since the support protrusion 15 is provided with a roller 8, it is convenient to carry, which improves the convenience and practicality of the storage module. The bottom of the support groove 21 is provided with a roller groove 22 that is compatible with the roller 8, which does not affect the stacking. It should be noted that this stacking method requires each storage module to have a cover plate 2 and a reinforcement frame 6, which has better overall stability and meets higher user requirements.

[0048] In addition, the outer sides of the two side panels 3 are provided with hand-gripping grooves, and users generally hold the hand-gripping grooves to carry the storage module, thereby improving the convenience of user operation.

[0049] In one embodiment, the locking mechanism 43 includes a handle portion 430 hinged to the door leaf 42, the handle portion 430 is connected to a locking portion 431, a locking notch 432 is provided on the inner side of the locking portion 431, and a locking column 433 corresponding to the locking portion 431 is provided on the door frame 41, and the locking column 433 extends into the locking notch 432. The locking column 433 is combined with or separated from the locking notch 432 by the rotation of the handle portion 430, thereby realizing the locking or opening of the door leaf 42.

[0050] Specifically, a first limiting flange 434 is provided on the outer side of the locking portion 431, and a second limiting flange 435 is provided on the door frame 41 to match the first limiting flange 434. When the door leaf 42 is in the locked state, the first limiting flange 434 and the second limiting flange 435 are engaged. The provision of the first limiting flange 434 and the second limiting flange 435 further enhances the locking effect.

[0051] Specifically, when the handle portion 430 rotates a certain angle, the locking column 433 is separated from the locking notch 432 .

[0052] More specifically, the locking notch 432 is an arc-shaped structure. Tests have shown that the locking notch 432 with an arc-shaped structure has a better locking effect.

[0053] In the present invention, an example is given in which two opposing door leaves 42 are hinged in a door frame 41. Correspondingly, each door leaf 42 is provided with a locking mechanism 43, and the two locking mechanisms 43 are hinged on opposite sides of the two door leaves 42. Of course, in addition to providing two opposing door leaves 42, a single-opening door leaf 42 can also be hinged in the door frame 41. The movement mechanism and effect of the door leaf 42 are the same in both cases, and will not be described in detail here. The structure of the locking mechanism 43 is as follows: Figure 6As shown in , in this embodiment, two locking portions 431 are symmetrically provided on the handle portion 430 for explanation. In addition to providing two, only one locking portion 431 can also be provided on the handle portion 430. The movement mechanism and effect of the locking portion 431 and the lock column 433 thereon in the two cases are the same, and they will not be described in detail here. A first rotation hole 437 is provided on the inner side of the locking portion 431. A first rotation axis 436 that matches the first rotation hole 437 is provided on one side of the door leaf 42. A second rotation axis is provided on the other side of the door leaf 42, and a second rotation hole that matches the second rotation axis is provided on the door frame 41. To open the door leaf 42, the handle portion 430 is rotated outward 40 degrees along the first rotation axis 436, so that the locking notch 432 of the locking portion 431 is disengaged from the lock on the door frame 41. After the locking notch 432 separates from the lock column 433, the handle portion 430 is pulled outward, causing the entire door leaf 42 to rotate along the second rotation axis (the door leaf 42 can rotate between 0 and 90 degrees), thereby opening the door leaf 42. To lock the door leaf 42, the door leaf 42 is rotated along the second rotation axis until it is flat, and then the handle portion 430 is rotated inward until the locking notch 432 engages with the lock column 433, thereby achieving a locked state.

[0054] It should be noted that the door leaf 42 of the storage module of this embodiment can also be set as a single-opening structure, and only one corresponding locking mechanism 43 is required. The movement mechanism and effect of the locking mechanism 43 in the two cases are the same, and will not be described in detail here.

[0055] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
