Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a baseball bat storage device, and particularly to a baseball bat storage box. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of baseball, the number of participants has also increased. In baseball, a baseball bat is required to hit a baseball. Currently, baseball bats are mainly made of wood, bamboo, or aluminum. A baseball bat includes a grip end and a hitting end, and the diameter of the hitting end is larger than that of the grip end to increase the hitting area and weight of the hitting end on the baseball. When hitting, the baseball bat withstands a large instantaneous impact, and the baseball bat needs to have high-strength performance. After the movement, the baseball bat needs to be maintained and stored in time to maintain its strength.

[0003] Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN212593890U discloses a baseball bat storage rack, which includes a horizontally arranged and strip-shaped hanging board. One side of the hanging board is upturned, and a plurality of hanging openings penetrating through it up and down are recessed at intervals along the length direction of the upturned side of the hanging board. Each hanging opening is used to hang a baseball bat. Since the handle ends of baseball bats all have convex rings, and hanging openings are provided on the hanging board, the handle ends of the baseball bats can be vertically inserted into the hanging openings, and the convex rings of the handle ends can be hung on the hanging board, so that the baseball bats can be stored in an orderly manner. However, this storage rack is a strip-shaped structure, and the baseball bats are hung on the storage rack in a long shape, occupying a large amount of space. There is only one hanging board on the storage rack, and the baseball bats are exposed to the external environment for a long time. Moisture in the air is likely to rot the baseball bats, reducing the strength of the baseball bats and prone to breakage. Moreover, the hitting ends of the baseball bats hung behind are suspended, easily affected by external forces and prone to swing, and even collide with each other and cause damage. During the swing, the handle ends of the baseball bats and the hanging openings on the hanging board are pressed against each other, easily causing bending and deformation, resulting in the handle end and the hitting end not being on the same axis, and the baseball bat being scrapped. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a baseball bat storage box, which can vertically fix multiple baseball bats and form a circular storage inside the box body, thereby reducing the occupation of external environmental space.
