[0008] A locking assembly includes a latch and a first locking member disposed on the housing. The latch is disposed within the housing and is movable relative to the housing. The latch has an unlock position and a lock position. A first locking groove is provided on the latch. The first locking member can engage with the first locking groove to lock the latch in the unlock position.
[0009] When the lid is fastened to the box body, the pressing member is configured to drive the locking tongue to move toward the outer edge of the box body and disengage the first locking member from the first locking groove, and the locking tongue can engage with the lid in the locking position.
[0010] As an optional solution for the aforementioned storage box, the latch includes a slide bar and a locking part connected to the slide bar. The slide bar passes through and is movably disposed on the box body. The locking part has a first locking groove. When the box cover is fastened to the box body, the pressing member slides against the slide bar to drive the latch to move.
[0011] As an optional solution for the aforementioned storage box, the pressing component is provided with a first driving slope. During the process of the box lid being fastened to the box body, the first driving slope slides against the slide rod to push the locking tongue from the unlocked position to the locked position; and / or,
[0012] The slide bar is provided with a first driven inclined surface. During the process of the box cover being fastened to the box body, the pressing member abuts against the first driven inclined surface to push the locking tongue from the unlocked position to the locked position.
[0013] As an optional solution for the aforementioned storage box, the locking assembly further includes a tension spring, which is sleeved on the locking part and configured to drive the latch to move from the unlocked position to the locked position.
[0014] As an optional solution for the aforementioned storage box, the locking part is provided with a second locking groove, and the first locking member can be engaged into the second locking groove to lock the bolt in the locking position.
[0015] As an optional solution for the aforementioned storage box, during the process of the locking tongue moving from the locked position to the unlocked position, when the locking tongue abuts against the pressing member, the locking part disengages from the box cover.
[0016] As an alternative to the aforementioned storage box, the front end of the first locking member is provided with a ball head, which can be engaged in the first locking groove, and the depth to which the ball head is engaged in the first locking groove is less than the radius of the ball head.
[0017] As an optional solution for the aforementioned storage box, the locking component further includes a button, which is slidably disposed within the box body. The button is configured to drive the bolt from the locked position to the unlocked position via the slide bar.
[0018] As an optional solution for the aforementioned storage box, the box body is provided with a stop, and when the slide bar abuts against the stop, the locking tongue is in the unlocked position.
[0019] As an optional solution for the aforementioned storage box, the locking assembly further includes a second locking member, and the button has a third locking groove. When the second locking member is engaged with the third locking groove, the bolt is in the unlocked position; and / or,
[0020] The locking assembly further includes a second locking member, and the button has a fourth locking groove. When the second locking member is engaged in the fourth locking groove, the bolt is in the locked position.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0022] This invention provides a storage box. The box body is used to hold earphone units. When the lid is fastened to the box body, it can be locked by a locking component to enclose the earphone units and prevent loss. The user can unlock the lid by moving the latch from the locked position to the unlocked position, facilitating the removal and placement of the earphone units. A first locking member can engage with a first locking groove to lock the latch in the unlocked position. When the user needs to close the storage box, the lid can be fastened to the box body. During this process, a pressing member drives the latch to move towards the outer edge of the box body. At this time, the first locking member disengages from the first locking groove, and the latch moves to the locked position and engages with the lid.
[0023] This storage box uses the pressing part of the lid to drive the locking tongue to move, which reduces the force applied to the locking tongue when it is locked with the lid. This prevents the locking tongue from deforming due to prolonged high force, effectively improving the service life of the locking tongue, and thus improving the service life of the headphone case.

[0042] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0043] This embodiment provides a storage box, such as Figure 1 As shown, the storage box includes a box body 2 and a lid 1. The box body 2 is used to place items to be stored, and the lid 1 can be fastened to the box body 2 to prevent items from being lost. In this embodiment, the storage box is described with an example of being placed vertically, and the example is of the storage box being used to store an earphone unit 100.
[0044] The housing 2 includes a top plate 21 with a storage slot for holding the earphone unit 100. The bottom of the top plate 21 has a circuit for charging the earphone unit 100. The top plate 21 can encapsulate the circuit, which can prevent the circuit from being exposed to the external environment and corroded, thus improving its service life. It can also improve the aesthetics and prevent users from directly observing the circuit.
[0045] In some embodiments, the housing 2 and the lid 1 are separate structures, meaning that the lid 1 can be completely separated from the housing 2, making it convenient for users to take out and put in the earphone unit 100.
[0046] In some embodiments, the housing 2 and the lid 1 are rotatably connected by a pivot, allowing the user to rotate the lid 1 relative to the housing 2 to easily take out and put in the earphone unit 100.
[0047] like Figures 2-7 As shown, to ensure the reliability of the lid 1 when it is fastened to the body 2, the lid 1 is provided with a buckle 12, the top plate 21 is provided with a through hole, and the storage box also includes a locking component 3, which includes a locking tongue 31. The locking tongue 31 passes through the through hole and is movably disposed in the through hole to have a locked position (e.g., Figure 3 (as shown) and unlock location (as shown) Figure 7 As shown), when the locking tongue 31 is in the locked position, the locking tongue 31 can engage with the buckle 12 of the lid 1 to lock the box body 2 and the lid 1; when the locking tongue 31 is in the unlocked position, the user can open the lid 1 and take out or put in the earphone unit 100.
[0048] Understandably, in order to facilitate user operation, during the process of the lid 1 being fastened to the box body 2, the lid 1 can drive the locking tongue 31 to move in the unlocking direction so that the locking tongue 31 can avoid the latch 12, thereby allowing the lid 1 to be fastened to the box body 2 without the user needing to perform any additional operation.
[0049] To achieve the above objectives, the latch 12 is provided with a second driving ramp 121. During the process of the cover 1 being fastened to the body 2, the second driving ramp 121 slides against the latch 31 to push the latch 31 from the locked position to the unlocked position. It is worth noting that when the second driving ramp 121 of the latch 12 contacts the latch 31, the driving force of the latch 12 on the latch 31 is approximately vertically downward. At this time, this driving force will generate a horizontal component force under the action of the second driving ramp 121, thereby moving the latch 31 from the locked position to the unlocked position.
[0050] In some embodiments, the locking part 312 is provided with a second driven inclined surface 316. During the process of the cover 1 being fastened to the body 2, the latch 12 abuts against the second driven inclined surface 316 to push the bolt 31 from the locked position to the unlocked position. It is worth noting that when the latch 12 contacts the second driven inclined surface 316 of the bolt 31, the driving force of the latch 12 on the bolt 31 is approximately vertically downward. At this time, this driving force will generate a horizontal component force under the action of the second driven inclined surface 316, thereby causing the bolt 31 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.
[0051] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the above structure can also be that the buckle 12 is provided with a second driving slope 121, the locking part 312 is provided with a second driven slope 316, and the second driving slope 121 and the second driven slope 316 slide against each other.
[0052] However, because the storage box 2 is small, the latch 31 is relatively thin. When the buckle 12 presses down on the latch 31, it will cause the latch 31 to bend and deform. After long-term use, the latch 31 may break, affecting the normal use of the storage box.
[0053] like Figures 2-8 As shown, to solve the above problems, the lid 1 is also provided with a pressing member 11, and the locking component 3 also includes a first locking member 32 provided on the box body 2. The locking tongue 31 is partially disposed inside the box body 2 and can move relative to the box body 2. The locking tongue 31 has an unlocking position and a locking position. A first locking groove 314 is provided on the locking tongue 31. The first locking member 32 can be inserted into the first locking groove 314 to lock the locking tongue 31 in the unlocking position. When the lid 1 is fastened to the box body 2, the pressing member 11 is configured to drive the locking tongue 31 to move toward the outer edge of the box body 2 and cause the first locking member 32 to disengage from the first locking groove 314. The locking tongue 31 can be engaged with the lid 1 in the locking position.
[0054] Users can unlock the case cover 1 by moving the locking tongue 31 from the locked position to the unlocked position, which facilitates the taking and putting away of the earphone unit 100. The first locking member 32 can be engaged with the first locking groove 314 to lock the locking tongue 31 in the unlocked position. When the user needs to close the storage case, the case cover 1 can be fastened to the case body 2. During this process, the pressing member 11 drives the locking tongue 31 to move toward the outer edge of the case body 2. At this time, the first locking member 32 disengages from the first locking groove 314, and the locking tongue 31 can move to the locked position and engage with the buckle 12.
[0055] In some embodiments, the latch 31 includes a slide bar 311 and a locking part 312 connected to the slide bar 311. The slide bar 311 passes through and is movably disposed in the through hole. The locking part 312 is provided with a first locking groove 314. When the cover 1 is fastened to the box body 2, the pressing member 11 slides against the slide bar 311 to drive the latch 31 to move.
[0056] The storage box uses the pressing part 11 of the lid 1 to drive the locking tongue 31 to move through the slide bar 311 of the locking tongue 31. Since the slide bar 311 is set roughly vertically, the slide bar 311 will not be deformed by the pressing part 11. The locking tongue 31 will only move horizontally under the drive of the pressing part 11, which avoids the locking part 312 of the locking tongue 31 from deforming due to force and effectively improves its service life.
[0057] Preferably, the locking assembly 3 further includes a tension spring 33, which is sleeved on the locking part 312. The tension spring 33 is configured to drive the locking tongue 31 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position. When the lid 1 is fastened to the body 2, the tension spring 33 can drive the locking tongue 31 to move to the locked position, and after the locking tongue 31 engages with the buckle 12, it keeps the locking tongue 31 stably in the locked position, ensuring the reliability of the lock between the lid 1 and the body 2.
[0058] In this embodiment, the locking part 312 is provided with a second locking groove 315, and the first locking member 32 can be inserted into the second locking groove 315 to lock the locking tongue 31 in the locking position, so as to ensure the stability of the locking tongue 31 in the locking position and improve the reliability of the storage box.
[0059] like Figures 2-9 As shown, to facilitate user movement of the latch 31, the locking assembly 3 also includes a button 34. The button 34 is slidably disposed within the housing 2 and connected to the slide bar 311. The button 34 is configured to drive the latch 31 from the locked position to the unlocked position. The user can unlock the housing 2 by pressing the button 34, which is convenient for operation.
[0060] In some embodiments, button 34 abuts against slide bar 311, meaning that the button 34 and latch 31 are designed as separate components. This facilitates the installation of latch 31 and button 34. The user presses button 34 to move latch 31 to the unlocked position, thus unlocking the storage box. Moreover, when the lid 1 is open and latch 31 is in the locked position, when the lid 1 is closed, the latch 12 drives latch 31 to move so that the lid 1 is fastened to the box body 2. In this case, latch 31 only needs to overcome the locking force between the first locking member 32 and the first locking groove 314.
[0061] In this embodiment, the button 34 is located below the top plate 21 and partially extends out of the box body 2, which can both hide the button 34 to ensure aesthetics and ensure that the user can press the button 34.
[0062] like Figure 7 As shown, the first locking member 32 includes a first elastic member 321 and a first top pin 322. The first elastic member 321 is configured to drive the first top pin 322 into the first locking groove 314 or the second locking groove 315, and can continuously provide locking force to the first top pin 322 to ensure that the first top pin 322 can lock the locking tongue 31 in the unlocked position.
[0063] It is worth noting that the tension of the spring 33 on the latch 31 is less than the locking force between the first locking member 32 and the first locking groove 314, so as to ensure that the first locking member 32 can lock the latch 31 in the unlocked position by engaging the first locking groove 314.
[0064] Preferably, the front end of the first locking member 32 is provided with a ball head, which can be engaged in the first locking groove 314, and the depth to which the ball head is engaged in the first locking groove 314 is less than the radius of the ball head. This structure allows the pressing member 11 to push the locking tongue 31 with a horizontal force, thereby disengaging the first locking member 32 from the first locking groove 314 and unlocking the locking tongue 31.
[0065] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 3 further includes a second locking member 35, and the button 34 has a third locking groove 341. When the second locking member 35 engages with the third locking groove 341, the latch 31 is in the unlocked position. At this time, the second locking member 35 can keep the button 34 stable. It is worth noting that the driving force of the pressing member 11 on the latch 31 needs to be greater than the sum of the locking forces of the first locking member 32 and the second locking member 35 in order to push the latch 31 to move.
[0066] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 3 further includes a second locking member 35, and the button 34 has a fourth locking groove 342. When the second locking member 35 is engaged with the fourth locking groove 342, the locking tongue 31 is in the locked position. The second locking member 35 can lock the button 34 in the position where it extends out of the box body 2, at which time the locking tongue 31 is in the locked position to lock the box cover 1 and the box body 2.
[0067] It is worth noting that if the button 34 and the latch 31 are separate structures, the latch 31 can still be in the unlocked position when the second locking member 35 is engaged in the fourth locking groove 342. At this time, the latch 31 can disengage from the button 34 and be in the unlocked position.
[0068] Optionally, when the second locking member 35 engages with the third locking groove 341, the outer edge of the button 34 is flush with the outer edge of the box body 2. That is, when the latch 31 is in the locked position, the length by which the button 34 protrudes from the box body 2 is equal to the length by which the button 34 protrudes from the box body 2, and when the latch 31 is in the unlocked position, the distance between the second locking member 35 and the third locking groove 341 is equal. This structure prevents the button 34 from protruding from the surface of the box body 2 when the lid 1 is unlocked from the box body 2, ensuring the consistency of the outer surface of the storage box.
[0069] like Figure 7 As shown, the second locking member 35 includes a second elastic member 351 and a second top pin 352. The second elastic member 351 is configured to drive the second top pin 352 into the third locking groove 341 or the fourth locking groove 342, and can continuously provide locking force to the second top pin 352 to ensure that the second top pin 352 can lock the button 34.
[0070] In some embodiments, the crimping member 11 is provided with a first driving ramp 111. During the process of the cover 1 being fastened to the box body 2, the first driving ramp 111 slides against the slide bar 311 to push the latch 31 from the unlocked position to the locked position. It is worth noting that when the first driving ramp 111 of the crimping member 11 contacts the slide bar 311, the driving force of the crimping member 11 on the slide bar 311 is approximately vertically downward. At this time, the driving force will generate a horizontal component force under the action of the first driving ramp 111, thereby causing the latch 31 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position, so as to ensure that the first locking member 32 can disengage from the first locking groove 314.
[0071] In some embodiments, the slide bar 311 is provided with a first driven inclined surface 313. During the process of the cover 1 being fastened to the box body 2, the pressing member 11 abuts against the first driven inclined surface 313 to push the latch 31 from the unlocked position to the locked position. It is worth noting that when the pressing member 11 contacts the first driven inclined surface 313 of the slide bar 311, the driving force of the pressing member 11 on the slide bar 311 is approximately vertically downward. At this time, this driving force will generate a horizontal component force under the action of the first driven inclined surface 313, thereby causing the latch 31 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position, so as to ensure that the first locking member 32 can disengage from the first locking groove 314.
[0072] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the above structure can also be that the pressing member 11 is provided with a first driving inclined surface 111, the slide rod 311 is provided with a first driven inclined surface 313, and the first driving inclined surface 111 and the first driven inclined surface 313 slide against each other.
[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, during the movement of the latch 31 from the locked position to the unlocked position, when the latch 31 abuts against the pressing member 11, the locking part 312 disengages from the latch 12. As the user presses the button 34, the latch 31 leaves the locked position and moves towards the unlocked position. In order to ensure that the pressing member 11 has sufficient travel to push the latch 31, the latch 31 can abut against the pressing member 11 before moving to the unlocked position. At this position, the locking part 312 of the latch 31 disengages from the latch 12, allowing the cover 1 to open and preventing damage to the pressing member 11 when the button 34 is pressed further.
[0074] Preferably, the crimping member 11 is elastic. On the one hand, during the unlocking process, when the bolt 31 abuts against the crimping member 11, the crimping member 11 can elastically deform to prevent it from being crushed by the bolt 31; on the other hand, during the locking process, when the crimping member 11 drives the bolt 31 to move, it can deform to alleviate the reaction force of the bolt 31 on the crimping member 11, thus preventing the crimping member 11 from breaking after long-term use.
[0075] In this embodiment, during the process of the lid 1 being fastened to the body 2, when the pressing member 11 abuts against the locking tongue 31, the buckle 12 overlaps at least partially with the locking part 312 along the sliding direction of the locking tongue 31. This structure can ensure that after the first locking member 32 is disengaged from the first locking groove 314, during the process of the tension spring 33 driving the locking tongue 31 to the locking position, the locking part 312 will abut against the buckle 12 in the horizontal direction, thus preventing the locking part 312 from moving below the buckle 12 and affecting the fastening of the lid 1.
[0076] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the top plate 21 is provided with a stop 22. When the slide rod 311 abuts against the stop 22, the locking tongue 31 is in the unlocked position. The stop 22 can serve as a final limit for the user to press the button 34, preventing the locking tongue 31 from traveling too far and causing excessive deformation of the pressing part 11. It can also prevent the user from pressing the button 34 into the housing 2 and causing it to jam.
[0077] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
