[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an assembled storage box having a first direction, a second direction and a third direction that intersect perpendicularly, including a base plate 1 and side plates. The base plate 1 and multiple side plates are enclosed to form a storage box. The side plates are configured as a first side plate 2 or a second side plate 3. The first side plate 2 extends along the first direction, and the second side plate 3 extends along the second direction. The first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 are rotatably connected.

[0032] A connecting shaft 21 is provided at the middle of the side edge of the first side plate 2 along the first direction, and the connecting shaft 21 extends along the second direction; a connecting hole 31 is provided at the middle of the side edge of the second side plate 3 along the second direction, and the connecting hole 31 extends along the second direction and corresponds to and cooperates with the connecting shaft 21; both sides of the first side plate 2 along the first direction are provided with connecting shafts 21, and both sides of the second side plate 3 along the second direction are provided with connecting holes 31.

[0033] A limiting structure is also provided between the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3. The second side plate 3 rotates around the insertion shaft 21 to be engaged and limited with the first side plate 2 through the limiting structure.

[0034] The first direction is X, the second direction is Y, and the third direction is Z.

[0035] Specifically, in traditional storage box designs, each side panel needs to be snapped together with adjacent side panels and the base plate 1. The four side panels and the first base plate 1 alone require at least eight snap-fit ​​connections. This not only makes the assembly structure complex but also easily leads to misassembly and reverse assembly. To ensure the stability of the storage box structure, existing side panels often have multiple snap-fit ​​structures. These snap-fit ​​structures not only further increase the complexity of assembling the storage box but also often require force to pry the side panels to complete the snap-fit ​​assembly, further increasing the trouble for children to assemble the toy storage box and potentially causing injury to children. In this embodiment, a connecting shaft 21 perpendicular to the surface of the first side plate 2 is provided on the first side plate 2, and a connecting hole 31 corresponding to the connecting shaft 21 is provided on the second side plate 3. The two sides of the second side plate 3 are respectively connected to the two first side plates 2 through the connecting holes 31. By moving the second side plate 3, the second side plate 3 can rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 21. Using the force of the rotation of the second side plate 3, the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 can be locked together by the limiting structure. Finally, the base plate 1 can be installed. The whole assembly process is simpler and less labor-intensive, and the assembly efficiency is also higher. During the assembly process, children only need to apply pressure to the second side plate 3 to assemble the second side plate 3 and the first side plate 2 together, and the assembly process is also safer.

[0036] In some embodiments, two first side plates 2 are arranged in parallel, and two second side plates 3 are arranged in parallel, with both second side plates 3 disposed between the two first side plates 2.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the storage box is a square structure, with two first side panels 2 and two second side panels 3, and the first side panels 2 and the second side panels 3 are perpendicular to each other; in other embodiments, the storage box can also be set as a pentagon or other regular polygon structure, which can satisfy the fun of children's toy storage box and provide a larger storage space, as long as the first side panels 2 and the second side panels 3 can be alternately set.

[0038] In some embodiments, the limiting structure includes a first limiting protrusion 22 and a first limiting groove 23 disposed on the first side plate 2, and a second limiting protrusion 32 and a second limiting groove 33 disposed on the second side plate 3; the first limiting protrusion 22 and the second limiting groove 33 are disposed facing each other and are correspondingly engaged, and the second limiting protrusion 32 and the first limiting groove 23 are disposed facing each other and are correspondingly engaged.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, two sets of limiting structures are specifically designed, and these two sets of limiting structures are respectively located at different positions on the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3. In this specific embodiment, the insertion shaft 21 is located in the middle of the side of the first side plate 2, and the corresponding insertion hole 31 is also located in the middle of the side of the second side plate 3. Therefore, when the second side plate 3 rotates relative to the first side plate 2, the top of the second side plate 3 is located outside the storage box and moves towards the first side plate 2, while the bottom of the second side plate 3 is located inside the storage box and moves towards the first side plate 2. Based on this, the first limiting protrusion 22 and the second limiting groove 33 form a set of limiting structures, respectively disposed on the top side of the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3. The second limiting protrusion 32 and the first limiting groove form a second set of limiting structures, respectively disposed on the bottom side of the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3. The arrangement of these two sets of limiting structures makes the engagement and limiting of the second side plate 3 and the first side plate 2 more stable and reliable, resulting in a better and more stable stress state for the storage box. Furthermore, by rotating the second side plate 3, the first limiting protrusion 22 can be easily engaged into the second limiting groove 33, and simultaneously, the second limiting protrusion 32 can be engaged into the first limiting groove 23. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove can be reversed, their positions interchanged, and the positions of the first limiting protrusion 22 and the first limiting groove 23 can also be interchanged.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first side plate 2 is provided with a first clearance space 24, and a first limiting protrusion 22 is provided in the first clearance space 24. The first limiting protrusion 22 extends away from the storage box along a first direction; the second limiting groove 33 is provided on the side of the second side plate 3 near the inside of the storage box, and the opening of the second limiting groove 33 faces the inside of the storage box.

[0041] Furthermore, the second side plate 3 is provided with a second clearance position 34, and a second limiting protrusion 32 is provided in the second clearance position 34. The second limiting protrusion 32 extends away from the interior of the storage box; the opening of the first limiting groove 23 faces the interior of the storage box along the first direction.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the second side plate 3 needs to be rotated relative to the first side plate 2 until the second side plate 3 is vertically set, in order to ensure the complete fit of the outer wall of the storage box, a first clearance space 24 area and a second clearance space 34 area are respectively set on the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3, and a limiting protrusion and other structures are set in the clearance space area, so that after the second side plate 3 is vertically set, the appearance of the entire storage box can be more beautiful, the connection between the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 is more fitted, and there will be no protruding parts. In one specific embodiment, the first clearance space 24 is located at the top of the side of the first side plate 2. A first limiting protrusion 22 extending outwards from the storage box is provided within the first clearance space 24. Correspondingly, a second limiting groove 33 is provided on the second side plate 3. Simultaneously, a second clearance space 34 is located at the bottom of the side of the second side plate 3. A second limiting protrusion 32 extending outwards from the storage box is provided within the second clearance space 34. The first side plate 2 is provided with a corresponding first limiting groove 23 opening towards the inside of the storage box. When the second side plate 3 rotates around the insertion pivot 21, the second limiting groove 33... As the second side plate 2 gradually approaches the first limiting protrusion 22, the second limiting protrusion 32 gradually approaches the first limiting groove 23 until, under the action of external force, the first limiting protrusion 22 is engaged in the second limiting groove 33, and the second limiting protrusion 32 is engaged in the first limiting groove 23. At this point, it indicates that the assembly of the second side plate 3 and the first side plate 2 is complete. In actual installation, it is only necessary to push the upper part of the second side plate 3 to rotate the side plate to complete the assembly. In disassembly, it is only necessary to push the lower part of the second side plate 3 to rotate the second side plate 3 to complete the initial disassembly. The entire assembly and disassembly process is simpler, less strenuous, more efficient, and safer.

[0043] Of course, in other embodiments, the first clearance position 24 can be set on the lower side of the first side plate 2, while the second clearance position 34 can be set on the upper side of the second side plate 3. The corresponding limiting protrusion and limiting groove can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The setting of the first clearance position 24 and the second clearance position 34 allows the second side plate 3 to fit more closely to the first side plate 2.

[0044] In some embodiments, a third limiting protrusion 35 is also provided in the second clearance space 34. The third limiting protrusion 35 is located in the middle area of ​​the second side plate 3 and extends in a direction away from the inside of the storage box. A third limiting groove 25 is provided in the first side plate 2 at the position corresponding to the third limiting protrusion 35. The opening of the third limiting groove faces the inside of the storage box in the first direction.

[0045] Specifically, in the above embodiments, the movement of the upper and lower sides of the second side plate 3 is restricted only by the first limiting protrusion 22 and the second limiting protrusion 32 cooperating with the first limiting groove 23 and the second limiting groove 33, and the second side plate 3 is engaged with the first side plate 2. However, the connection between the second side plate 3 and the first side plate 2 in the middle is simply achieved by the engagement of the insertion shaft 21 and the insertion hole 31, which results in insufficient connection strength in the middle of the second side plate 3. Therefore, in this embodiment, a third limiting protrusion 35 is additionally provided. The third limiting protrusion 35 is located in the second clearance position 34, between the second limiting protrusion 32 and the insertion hole 31, and close to the insertion hole 31. When the second side plate 3 rotates, the third limiting protrusion 35 is inserted into the third limiting groove 25, thereby enhancing the connection strength of the second side plate 3 in the middle of the side and improving the stability of the connection between the second side plate 3 and the first side plate 2, making the structure of the entire storage box more stable and reliable.

[0046] In some embodiments, a first buckle 36 is provided on the top of the side of the second side plate 3 along the second direction, and the first buckle 36 extends toward the first side plate 2 along the second direction; a first slot 26 is provided in the first clearance space 24 corresponding to the first buckle 36;

[0047] The second side plate 3 is also provided with a second buckle 37, which extends toward the third direction. A second slot 27 is provided in the first clearance position 24 at the position corresponding to the second buckle 37.

[0048] Specifically, during the actual assembly process, the upper part of the second side plate 3 rotates and moves towards the first side plate 2. As the pressure applied to the upper part of the second side plate 3 gradually increases, the first buckle 36 engages with the first slot 26, and the second buckle 37 gradually engages with the second slot 27. The first buckle 36 and the second buckle 37 are respectively set along the second direction and the third direction, which can effectively restrict the movement of the second side plate 3 along the first direction. The cooperation between the two makes it difficult for the second side plate 3 to rotate around the insertion shaft 21 under the action of external force after it rotates to engage with the first side plate 2. The structure of the entire storage box is more stable and reliable. Moreover, the cooperation between the first buckle 36 and the first slot 26, and the cooperation between the second buckle 37 and the second slot 27, can also be achieved by pushing the upper part of the second side plate 3. While ensuring the simplicity of the assembly process, it also makes the structure of the assembled storage box more stable.

[0049] In some embodiments, reinforcing ribs 4 are provided in the first limiting groove 23, the second limiting groove 33, and the third limiting groove 25. The reinforcing ribs 4 are provided to enhance the structural strength of the first limiting groove, the second limiting groove 33, and the third limiting groove 25, and also to enhance the fit between each limiting groove and the corresponding limiting protrusion, making it less likely for the limiting protrusion to detach from the corresponding limiting groove.

[0050] like Figures 6 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of both the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 are provided with mounting holes 5, and the bottom plate 1 is provided with mounting protrusions 11 corresponding to the positions of the mounting holes 5.

[0051] Furthermore, a limiting block 12 is provided on the side of the installation protrusion 11 away from the inside of the storage box, and the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 are provided with limiting notches 51 corresponding to the limiting block 12.

[0052] Specifically, after the side panels are assembled, the installation of the base plate 1 can begin. The bottom of the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 3 are provided with multiple mounting holes 5. At the same time, the interior of the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 3 is provided with limiting notches 51 above the positions corresponding to the mounting holes 5. The corresponding base plate 1 is provided with mounting protrusions 11 and limiting blocks 12. The mounting protrusions 11 are plate-shaped. In actual installation, the base plate 1 is placed from above the side panels into the cavity surrounded by the multiple side panels. Then, the base plate 1 is pressed down so that the mounting protrusions 11 on the base plate 1 are engaged in the corresponding mounting holes 5. Then, the base plate 1 is pressed down further so that the limiting blocks 12 are engaged in the corresponding limiting notches 51. This allows the base plate 1 to be stably connected to each side panel, making the structure of the entire storage box more stable and reliable.

[0053] In summary, this embodiment of the invention provides a modular storage box. The second side plate 3 and the first side plate 2 are connected at the middle via a connecting shaft 21 and a connecting hole 31. The second side plate 3 can rotate around the connecting shaft 21. As the second side plate 3 rotates, the first limiting protrusion 22, the second limiting protrusion 32, and the third limiting protrusion 35 can respectively engage with the corresponding second limiting groove 33, the first limiting groove 23, and the third limiting groove 25, providing stable support for the connection between the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3, ensuring... The storage box has a stable overall structure. At the same time, the first buckle 36 and the second buckle 37 are engaged in the first slot 26 and the second slot 27 respectively, further stabilizing the connection between the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3. The connection between the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 can be achieved simply by rotating the second side plate 3, and the stability of the storage box structure after connection is ensured. This makes the assembly structure of the storage box simpler and more reliable, the assembly process simpler and safer, and meets the needs of children's users to assemble toy storage boxes.

[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and substitutions without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
