[0003] For example, a rice storage bucket proposed in the prior invention disclosure CN108143322A has a rice bucket slidably arranged at the bottom, so that rice can be taken out by moving the rice bucket, but because its storage entrance is located at the top and the top cover is provided with a cover body, the cover body still needs to be removed before the rice can be put in, which is not convenient enough. There are also some on the market that have a rotatable cover body, but when the cover body is located at the upper part, the vertical height will increase after the cover body is rotated and folded. If the space for storing the rice bucket is low, the cover plate cannot be opened, and the rice storage bucket is required to open the cover plate, which has certain restrictions on the use environment.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following outstanding and beneficial technical effects:

[0020] 1. The side-opening storage device provided by the present invention adopts a side-opening and flipping method to open the main body, so that the entire storage device is more convenient to place in the cabinet. When in use, the main body can be directly opened sideways and rotated out, and items can be put in or taken out from the exposed storage entrance. It is suitable for compact cabinets and there is no need to move the entire storage device, which is very convenient.

[0021] 2. The present invention provides a buffer between the shell and the main body. When the main body is opened or closed, the buffer provides a buffering force. On the one hand, it can offset part of the gravity effect, making the opening and closing of the main body more labor-saving; on the other hand, it can prevent the occurrence of harsh impact sound caused by the main body hitting the shell when rotating due to excessive gravity or external force, thereby improving the user experience.

[0022] 3. In order to facilitate the installation of the buffer, a first mounting seat is separately provided inside the shell, and a second mounting seat is integrally formed at the bottom of the main body. One end of the buffer is first connected to the first mounting seat through a pin, and the other end is connected to the second mounting seat through a pin. Then, the main body is rotated and installed in the shell, and the first mounting seat slides into a predetermined position along the mounting groove and is fixed, which solves the problem of inconvenient installation of the buffer in a small space.

[0023] 4. The main body and shell of the present invention adopt an embedded hidden rotating structure (the front cover plate is blocked on the outside of the rotating seat and the rotating shaft and embedded in the outer shell), and a seal is provided between the shell and the main body or between the shell and the front cover plate, which solves the problem of difficult sealing of the hidden rotating structure and improves the aesthetics of the product.

[0024] 5. After the main body of the present invention is closed, the direction of its own gravity is consistent with the rotation and closing direction of the main body, which can further improve the sealing between the main body and the shell; in other words, the greater the storage weight of the main body, the better the sealing effect, thereby reducing the risk of moisture in food and other items.

[0025] 6. A blocking portion is provided on the side of the storage entrance away from the front cover plate. When the main body rotates, the blocking portion is used to prevent items in the storage space from falling from the rear; a front blocking portion is provided on the front side of the main body to prevent items in the storage space from falling from the front.

[0026] 7. The present invention sets a self-locking component between the main body and the shell. When the main body is opened, the self-locking component is used to position the main body in an open state, making it convenient for users to take out items inside. When the main body is closed, only an external force needs to be applied to overcome the self-locking force of the self-locking component.

[0027] 8. The present invention is provided with a rear cover on the rear opening of the shell to realize a simple storage device; a rear cover body and a rear cover can also be provided at the rear opening to form a standard storage device with additional storage space, in which a counterweight such as a water bag can be provided to prevent the storage device from tipping over when it is opened; desiccants, insecticides and other items can also be provided.

[0028] 9. In another embodiment, the present invention can set a suction cup at the rear bottom of the shell to engage with the surface of the platform where the storage device is placed. When the main body is opened and the center of gravity of the storage device moves forward, the suction cup can play a fixing role to prevent it from tipping forward.

[0055] <Example 1>

[0056] This embodiment provides a side-opening storage device, in particular a storage device for storing granular objects such as rice and soybeans. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the storage device includes a shell 1 and a main body 2, the main body 2 is rotatably arranged in the shell 1, and the main body 2 has a storage space 21 for storing items and an entrance 22 for putting items in, wherein the main body 2 also has a closed state and an open state. When in the closed state, as shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, the storage entrance 22 is enclosed inside the housing 1, that is, the main body 2 is entirely located inside the housing 1; when in the open state, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, at least part of the storage entrance 22 is exposed from the housing 1, so that the user can put items into the storage space 21, or take items out of the storage space 21. A rotating mechanism is provided between the main body 2 and the housing 1, and the main body 2 can rotate relative to the housing under the drive of the rotating mechanism, so that the main body 2 can switch between the closed state and the open state. In addition, a buffer 3 is also provided between the housing 1 and the main body 2. The buffer 3 acts on the main body 2 to provide a buffering force when the main body rotates, so as to prevent the main body 2 from being instantly hit back to its original position due to its gravity to produce a strong impact sound, or even cause the storage device to shake.

[0057] In this embodiment, the storage entrance 22 is located at the top of the accommodating space 21, that is, the main body 2 is a barrel-shaped structure with an upper opening, and its bottom is rotatably arranged on the housing 1 through a rotating mechanism, that is, the rotating mechanism is located at the bottom of the main body 2. Specifically, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the housing 1 includes a shell, a front cover plate 15 and a rear cover 16. The shell is formed by an outer top plate 11, an outer bottom plate 12, and two outer side plates 13 located on the left and right sides. A receiving cavity 14 for receiving the main body 2 is formed between the outer top plate 11, the outer bottom plate 12 and the two outer side plates 13, and the front and rear sides of the receiving cavity 14 respectively have a front opening 141 and a rear opening 142. The front cover plate 15 can be opened and closed at the front opening 141, and the rear cover 16 is set at the rear opening 142. Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the main body 2 is barrel-shaped, having an inner front plate 23, an inner rear plate 24, an inner bottom plate 25 and two inner side plates 26. A accommodating space 21 with a storage entrance 22 at the top is formed between the inner front plate 23, the inner rear plate 24, the inner bottom plate 25 and the two inner side plates 26. The inner front plate 23 is fixed on the front cover plate 15.

[0058] A rotating seat 17 is provided at the bottom of the front side of the shell (i.e., the front side of the outer bottom plate 12 is located at the front opening 141), and a rotating hole 171 is provided in the rotating seat 17. A rotating shaft 27 rotatably arranged on the rotating hole 171 is provided at the bottom of the inner front plate 23 or the front side of the inner bottom plate 25. The rotation between the main body 2 and the shell is achieved by the cooperation between the rotating shaft 27 and the rotating hole 171. In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the front side of the outer bottom plate 12 is located at the front opening 141 and extends upward to form a mounting plate 121. The left and right sides of the mounting plate 121 protrude outward near the end to form a rotating seat 17 (left rotating seat and right rotating seat). The left rotating seat and the right rotating seat are respectively provided with rotating holes 171 facing the left and right sides. Figure 6As shown, the two ends of the bottom of the inner front plate 23 extend downward to form two rotating feet 231 (left rotating feet and right rotating feet) corresponding to the two rotating seats, and the left rotating feet and the right rotating feet protrude toward the right and left sides respectively (i.e., the direction corresponding to the rotating hole 171) to form a rotating shaft 27, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the two rotating shafts 27 are respectively inserted into the corresponding rotating holes 171. In order to enable the main body 2 and the shell to rotate slowly during the rotation process, a damping structure can be provided on the rotating shaft 27.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, a rotating support seat 172 is also provided between the two rotating seats 17 in the middle of the mounting plate 121, and at least one supporting surface 173 is formed on the upper side of the rotating support seat 172; correspondingly, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, at least one rotation support block 232 is provided between two rotation legs 231 at the middle of the bottom of the inner front plate 23. The bottom of the rotation support block 232 is semicircular, and the center of the circle is coaxial with the rotation shaft 27. The bottom of the rotation support block 232 rotates with the support surface 173 to support the rotation of the main body 2, share the load-bearing pressure of the rotation shaft 27, and increase the strength and life of the rotation structure. When the support surface 173 can be an arc or a plane, an arc is preferred, so that the contact area with the rotation support block 232 is larger and the support effect is better.

[0060] The front cover plate 15 is covered at the front opening 141, and the inner side surface is combined with the inner front plate 23 of the main body 2 by snaps or fasteners. The front cover plate 15 is blocked on the outer side of the rotating seat 17, the rotating shaft 27, and the rotating support block 232, forming an embedded hidden inner rotating structure. In order to ensure the sealing of the main body 2 in the closed state, a sealing member 4 is provided between the rear side of the inner front plate 23 and the front opening 141, and the sealing member 4 is square. A sealing edge extends around the inner edge of the front opening 141. The sealing edges of this embodiment are respectively extended on the outer top plate 11, the outer bottom plate 12 and the two outer side plates 13 near the front end, and the accommodating cavity 14 is divided into two spaces. The space on the rear side is relatively large, which is used to accommodate the storage part of the main body 2; the space on the front side is relatively small, which is used for the interlocking of the inner front plate 23 and the front cover plate 15, wherein the shape of the front cover plate 15 is consistent with the shape of the front opening. When the main body 2 is in the closed state, the front cover plate or the inner front plate is embedded in the front opening, making the overall appearance more beautiful.

[0061] The sealing edge is recessed inwards to form a sealing groove 1411, and the sealing member 4 is embedded in the sealing groove 1411. The sealing member 4 is arranged here so that the end faces of the shell 1 and the main body 2 are completely fitted together, achieving a surface seal without dead angles, thereby improving the sealing performance of the storage device.

[0062] like Fig.11As shown, the sealing groove 1411 at the bottom and the rotating seat 17 are both arranged on the sealing edge of the bottom (i.e., the mounting plate 121), the sealing groove 1411 at the bottom is located above the rotating seat 17, and a rotation avoidance space is formed below the rotating seat 17. Since the front cover plate and the inner front plate of this embodiment are both embedded in the housing, the rotation avoidance space can prevent the bottom of the front cover plate and the inner front plate from interfering with the housing when rotating. Such a design can better solve the sealing problem and rotation interference problem of such an embedded rotating structure.

[0063] like Fig.10 As shown, the front cover 15 is provided with a force-applying portion for changing the main body 2 from a closed state to an open state. In this embodiment, the force-applying portion is an embedded handle 5 arranged at the upper part of the front cover 15, the inner side of which extends into the accommodating space and forms a front stop. The front cover 15 is provided with a long strip-shaped mounting hole 151 at the upper part, and the embedded handle 5 protrudes inward to form an embedded body 51. A through hole 233 with a matching shape is provided on the inner front plate 23 at the position corresponding to the mounting hole 151, and the embedded body 51 is arranged through the through hole 233. At the same time, a front stopper sleeve 6 protruding toward the accommodating space is also installed at the through hole 233. The front stopper sleeve 6 can also be regarded as a front stopper, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the embedded body 51 and is used to fix the embedded body 51 on the main body 2; at the same time, the front stopper sleeve 6 is transversely arranged on the upper part of the inner front plate 23. When the main body 2 is in the open state, it forms a blocking effect on the items in the accommodating space 21 to prevent them from falling out along the inner side of the inner front plate 23 when the main body is opened (especially when the items stored inside are granular foods such as rice and beans, if there is no obstruction, they are easy to slide out and fall).

[0064] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the inner rear plate 24 from interfering with the outer shell 1 when rotating, the height of the inner rear plate 24 of the main body 2 in the vertical direction is set to be lower than the height of the inner front plate 23 in the vertical direction. When the main body 2 rotates inward from the open state to the closed state, the items inside will tend to move backward. In order to prevent the items inside from spilling out from the upper opening of the main body 2 (i.e., the storage entrance 22), Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a blocking portion 7 is integrally or separately provided on the inner rear plate 24 of the main body 2. The blocking portion 7 of this embodiment is separately provided on the upper rear side of the main body 22, and a plurality of downwardly recessed fixing grooves 222 are provided on the rear edge 221 of the storage entrance 22. A fixing plate 71 which can be embedded in the fixing groove 222 is formed at the lower edge of the blocking portion 7, and the fixing plate 71 is fixed in the fixing groove 222 by fixing members (such as screws or bolts, etc.). At the same time, a plurality of limiting clamping holes 223 are also provided at the rear edge 221 of the storage entrance 22. A limiting clamping plate 72 which can be inserted into the limiting clamping hole 223 is formed at the edge of the blocking portion 7 and is located obliquely below the fixing groove 222. The fixing groove 222 and the limiting clamping hole 233 together form upper and lower limits for the blocking portion 7, thereby enhancing the connection firmness between the blocking portion 7 and the main body 2, and preventing the blocking portion 7 from falling due to the impact of the blocked object being too heavy.

[0065] like Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of vertical reinforcing ribs are provided at the rear edge of the storage entrance to increase the installation strength of the blocking portion 7.

[0066] The blocking portion 7 is a long strip with two ends bent in a cover-like structure, and has a baffle 73 combined with the inner rear plate 24, and a side baffle 74 combined with the upper rear sections of the two inner side plates 26, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the main body 2 is in the closed state, the baffle 73 and the inner rear plate 24 are arranged obliquely; Fig.11 As shown, when the main body 2 is in the open state, the baffle 73 is substantially parallel to the outer top plate 11 of the housing 1. A baffle 1412 is provided at the top of the housing 1 near the front opening 141, and a sealing groove 1411 for installing the sealing member 4 is formed on one side of the baffle 1412. When the main body 2 is in the open state, the front edge of the baffle 73 is just against the baffle 1412, thereby blocking the main body 2.

[0067] In order to prevent the center of gravity of the main body (including items) from automatically closing on the inside, a self-locking component is provided between the blocking edge 1412 and the blocking part 7 to prevent the main body 2 from detaching from the shell when in the open state, that is, the self-locking component, the blocking edge 1412 and the blocking part 7 form a rotating positioning mechanism. When the main body is in the open position, the blocking part and the blocking edge can be positioned by the self-locking component, freeing the user's hands and making it convenient to take items.

[0068] like Fig.16 As shown, the inner wall of the housing is provided with guide blocks 18 on both sides of the retaining edge 1412. The guide blocks 18 can guide both sides of the blocking portion 7 when the main body 2 is opened, so that the engagement and locking of the self-locking component is smoother, thereby improving the user experience. Figure 11-13As shown, the self-locking component is a push-type elastic lock, which has a lock pin 81 formed on the blocking edge 1412 and a lock body 82 installed on the front edge of the baffle 73 of the blocking portion 7. The lock body 82 has: a lock shell 821, a lock hook 822, a lock core 823 and an elastic member (spring 824). A mounting hole is opened in the middle of the edge of the front side of the baffle 73, the lock shell 821 is fixed in the mounting hole, the lock hook 822 is installed in the lock shell 821, and the front end of the lock core 823 has a claw 8231 extending out of the lock shell 821 and used to cooperate with the lock pin 81, and a lock groove 8232 located inside the lock shell 821 and used to cooperate with the lock hook 822. The spring 824 is installed between the lock core 823 and the lock shell 821, and is used to act on the lock core 823. The working principle of the push-type elastic lock is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here. When the main body 2 rotates outward, the claw 8231 hits the lock pin 81 on the stop edge, and the lock pin 81 can be locked into the claw 8231, thereby locking the main body 2 in the open state. When it is necessary to return to the closed state, the main body 2 is first pulled outward to unlock the self-locking component, and then the main body 2 is pushed inward to rotate back to the closed state, or the main body 2 is reset to the closed state by its own gravity.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, an installation space for installing a buffer 3 is formed between the inner bottom plate 25 and the outer bottom plate 12 of the main body 2. The buffer 3 is a damping buffer or a spring buffer. Figure 4 As shown, a first mounting seat 31 is provided on the side of the outer bottom plate 12 facing the inner bottom plate 25. Figure 8 As shown, a second mounting seat 32 is provided on the side of the inner bottom plate 25 facing the outer bottom plate 12, and one end of the buffer 3 is mounted on the first mounting seat 31, and the other end is mounted on the second mounting seat 32. Figure 4 As shown, the outer bottom plate 12 protrudes upwards on one side facing the inner bottom plate to form at least a pair of convex edges 122, and a mounting groove 123 is formed between the pair of convex edges 122. The first mounting seat 31 is slidably mounted in the mounting groove 123. Fig.11 As shown, a limiting through hole 124 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 123, and a limiting protrusion 311 which can be embedded in the limiting through hole 124 is provided on the bottom surface of the first mounting seat 31, and the rear side of the limiting protrusion 311 is clamped on the inner wall of the limiting through hole 124; Figure 4 As shown, the first mounting seat 31 is T-shaped, with a bent structure on the side, and the convex edge 122 is located at the front side of the bent structure of the first mounting seat 31 to form a blocking edge 125 that can abut against the bent structure on the side of the first mounting seat 31. The blocking edge 125 and the limiting through hole 142 respectively form front and rear limits for the first mounting seat 31. The bottom of the outer bottom plate 12 is also provided with a foot cushion 126 corresponding to the limiting through hole 124, which can block and cover the limiting through hole 124. Figure 8As shown, the inner bottom plate 25 is provided with a pair of convex edges 251 protruding downward on one side facing the outer bottom plate 12, and the end of the convex edge 251 forms a second mounting seat 32. In this embodiment, only one buffer 3 is provided, so it is best to set it in the middle of the inner bottom plate 25 and the outer bottom plate 12. When the size of the main body 2 is large and the stored items are heavy, multiple buffers 3 can be provided and evenly arranged at the bottom. Since the installation space formed between the inner bottom plate 25 and the outer bottom plate 12 of the main body 2 is relatively limited, it is more convenient to install by adopting the above-mentioned sliding installation method of the first mounting seat 31. Specifically, during installation, the buffer 3 is first installed on the second mounting seat 32, and then the first mounting seat 31 is slid into the installation groove along the two convex edges 122 of the outer bottom plate 12 until the limiting protrusion 311 is engaged with the limiting through hole 124 to complete the installation.

[0070] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Fig.11 As shown, the rear cover 16 is a hollow three-dimensional shape, and has: a rear cover body 161 and a cover plate 162. A storage cavity 163 for storing items and opening toward the rear side is provided inside the rear cover body 161. The cover plate 162 is detachable or rotatable and is arranged on the rear opening of the storage cavity 163. The storage cavity 163 here can be used to store items. The items stored here can be used as a load-bearing part, such as placing a water bag or a counterweight block, to avoid the situation where the main body 2 flips forward when opened due to the excessive weight of the items stored inside the main body 1. In addition, the storage cavity 163 here can also be used to store some desiccant-like items, and the storage cavity 163 is connected to the accommodating cavity 14 of the shell 1, which has a drying effect on the items stored in the main body 2.

[0071] A pair of front legs 127 and a pair of rear legs 128 are provided at the bottom of the outer top plate 12, a pair of inner legs 252 are provided near the inner rear plate 24 of the inner bottom plate 25, and a rear bottom leg 164 is provided at the bottom of the rear cover body 161. When in the closed state, the inner legs 252 and the rear legs 128 are coaxially arranged so that the support is in the same straight line and more uniform; a buffer pad is also provided between the bottom surface of the inner legs 252 and the top surface of the outer bottom plate 12, which is used to form a buffer at the legs when the main body 2 returns to the closed state. The front legs 127, the rear legs 128 and the bottom of the rear legs 128 are all provided with leg cushions, and a date reminder can also be provided on the outer shell 1 to record the date of storage by the user.
