[0045] Existing storage boxes include storage boxes, express boxes, thermal insulation boxes 100, etc. As people's living standards improve, thermal insulation boxes 100 appear more and more frequently in people's lives due to their advantages of safety, environmental protection, heat preservation and convenience of carrying. The embodiment of the present disclosure takes the thermal insulation box 100 as an example for explanation.

[0046] The thermal insulation box 100 includes a box body 20 and a box cover 30 . The box body 20 includes a receiving cavity with an opening, which can receive products. The box cover 30 can cover the opening. The box body 20 and the box cover 30 can be locked by a locking structure 10 .

[0047] In the prior art, the existing locking structure 10 will interfere with the box cover 30 after being unlocked, affecting the normal opening or closing of the box cover 30, which is not conducive to the user's rapid opening or closing of the thermal insulation box 100.

[0048] To solve the above problems, Figure 1 As shown, the lock structure 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first connection part 11, an elastic deformation part 12 and a second connection part 13 connected in sequence. When the lock structure 10 is in the unlocked state, the elastic deformation part 12 and the second connection part 13 are located on the side of the first connection part 11 away from the device to be locked, so as to avoid the elastic deformation part 12 and the second connection part 13 from interfering with the box cover 30 respectively, thereby ensuring the subsequent normal opening or closing of the box cover 30, and facilitating the user to quickly open or close the thermal insulation box 100. It should be noted that the lock structure 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is not only used in the thermal insulation box 100, but also can be used in other devices to be locked that need to be locked.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connection part 11 is fixedly connected to the box body 20, and the second connection part 13 is detachably connected to the box cover 30. By switching the connection state of the second connection part 13 and the box cover 30, the thermal insulation box 100 can be switched between the locked mode and the unlocked mode.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, a mounting hole 111 is provided on the first connection part 11, and the insulated box 100 further includes a fixing member 40, which can pass through the mounting hole 111 to fix the first connection part 11 to the box body 20, thereby achieving a stable connection between the first connection part 11 and the box body 20. Exemplarily, the fixing member 40 can be a screw, a pin, a glue-filled member, etc., and all parts that can achieve a stable connection between the first connection part 11 and the box body 20 are within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the number of the fixing members 40 can be one, two, three, four or more. When the number of the fixing members 40 is at least two, at least two fixing members 40 can achieve a better fixing effect between the first connecting portion 11 and the box body 20.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second connection portion 13 is provided with a mounting opening 1311, and the box cover 30 includes a mounting protrusion 31, and the mounting protrusion 31 can be inserted into the mounting opening 1311, so as to achieve the locking of the second connection portion 13 and the box cover 30. Exemplarily, the cross-sectional area of ​​the mounting opening 1311 includes, but is not limited to, various shapes such as square, circular, elliptical, and trapezoidal.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the box cover 30 may be provided with a mounting opening 1311 , and the second connecting portion 13 may include a mounting protrusion 31 , which is inserted into the mounting opening 1311 , and the above-mentioned effect can also be achieved.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, when the mounting protrusion 31 can be inserted into the mounting opening 1311 , the side wall of the mounting opening 1311 and the mounting protrusion 31 are matched concavely and convexly, further improving the locking effect of the second connecting portion 13 and the box cover 30 and preventing the mounting protrusion 31 from detaching from the mounting opening 1311 .

[0055] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the second connection part 13 includes a second connection part body 131 and a hand-held part 132 arranged thereon. The user operates the hand-held part 132 by hand to operate the state of the second connection part 13 to achieve the purpose of unlocking the locking structure 10, which is convenient for the user's operation.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the hand-held portion 132 is an insertion hole opened on the second connection portion body 131 . The user inserts a finger into the insertion hole and operates the second connection portion 131 with the finger to achieve a quick unlocking action of the lock structure 10 .

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the hand-held portion 132 is a hand-held protrusion (not shown in the figure) arranged on the second connecting portion body 131. The user holds the hand-held protrusion with two fingers to apply force to the hand-held protrusion, which also facilitates the user to quickly unlock the locking structure 10.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the hand-held portion 132 is a polygon, a circle, an ellipse, a semicircle, or other shapes. This optional embodiment protects all achievable shapes.

[0059] Most people use mechanical locks or plastic locks. Since the mechanical locks have high requirements on the position tolerance of the fixing holes of the locks, and the mechanical locks have short service life and high failure rate, many incubators 100 have poor sealing and shortened insulation time. Since the material of the plastic locks lacks elasticity, the plastic locks are often damaged during transportation, affecting the use of the incubator 100.

[0060] To solve the above problem, in an optional embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the elastic deformation part 12 is made of an elastic deformation material. The elastic deformation part 12 is elastic, durable, not easy to damage, easy to operate, and very suitable for circulation box scenarios, especially in the high turnover and complex operation environment of the express delivery industry.

[0061] Exemplarily, the elastic material can be rubber, silicone, thermosetting elastomer and thermoplastic elastomer, etc., among which thermoplastic elastomer includes styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer, olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer, etc. All elastic materials with elastic deformation and elastic recovery force are within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the first connection portion 11, the elastic deformation portion 12 and the second connection portion 13 are integrally formed, and the structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the locking structure 10 is in the unlocked state, the elastic deformation part 12 is set at an angle with the first connecting part 11. When the mounting protrusion 31 is detached from the mounting opening 1311, the elastic deformation part 12 is elastic, and the elastic deformation part 12 returns to the unlocked state. The elastic deformation part 12 will automatically pop open and away from the box body 20 and the box cover 30.

[0064] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the locking structure 10 is in a locked state, the elastic deformation part 12 is elastic and is subjected to a certain pressure. The first connecting part 11 is arranged in parallel with the elastic deformation part 12. The elastic deformation part 12 can perfectly fit the box body 20, thereby achieving a stable locking effect on the box body 20 and the box cover 30.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the elastic deformation portion 12 is perpendicular to the second connection portion 13 , and when the mounting protrusion 31 is inserted into the mounting opening 1311 , the second connection portion 13 is tightly fitted with the box cover 30 , thereby achieving a stable locking effect between the box body 20 and the box cover 30 .

[0066] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the first connection portion 11 and the elastic deformation portion 12 are connected via the first corner portion 14 , which can avoid stress concentration at the connection position between the first connection portion 11 and the elastic deformation portion 12 and prevent the first connection portion 11 and the elastic deformation portion 12 from breaking.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the elastic deformation part 12 and the second connection part 13 are connected through the second corner part 15, which can avoid stress concentration at the connection position of the elastic deformation part 12 and the second connection part 13 and prevent the elastic deformation part 12 and the second connection part 13 from breaking.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the box body 20 is provided with a first receiving groove 21. When the locking structure 10 is in a locked state, the first connecting portion 11 can be received in the first receiving groove 21, so as to avoid protrusions on the outer surface of the box body 20, and to avoid the box body 20 from scratching other parts or users, thereby ensuring a better transmission effect of the thermal insulation box 100. For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting portion 11 has a first end surface 112 . When the locking structure 10 is in a locked state, the first end surface 112 is lower than the first notch 211 of the first accommodating groove 21 .

[0069] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the box cover 30 is provided with a second receiving groove 32. When the locking structure 10 is in a locked state, the elastic deformation portion 12 can be received in the second receiving groove 32, so as to avoid protrusions on the outer surface of the box cover 30, and to avoid the box cover 30 from scratching other parts or users, thereby ensuring a better transmission effect of the thermal insulation box 100. For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting portion 13 has a second end surface 1312 . When the locking structure 10 is in a locked state, the second end surface 1312 is lower than the second notch 321 of the second accommodating groove 32 .

[0070] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here.
