Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of article storage devices, and specifically to a container and a medicine box. Background Art

[0002] Containers are used to store items in people's daily lives. In order to better place items and prevent moisture and dust on the surface of items, containers are generally covered and protected by openable lids. For example, a medicine box is a container that needs to be used frequently. For the convenience of operation, a corresponding pop-up mechanism is usually provided to enable the lid of the medicine box to open automatically, so that the medicine box can be easily taken out or stored.

[0003] At present, medicine boxes and other similar containers mostly use curved elastic strips to achieve automatic pop-up of the lid. Specifically, an independent elastic strip is inserted into one side of the box body, and the end of the elastic strip extends out and abuts against the surface of the hinge of the lid, so that the elastic strip is bent and deformed after the lid is closed. Therefore, after the locking mechanism between the lid and the box body is released, the lid will automatically rotate and pop open under the force provided by the elastic strip to restore the bending deformation, without the need to manually rotate the lid to open.

[0004] Although the above method can make the lid pop open automatically, the elastic strip needs to be assembled accordingly during the assembly process of the container, which affects the production efficiency. After long-term use, the elastic strip is prone to bending fatigue, resulting in a small pop-up angle of the lid or even failure to effectively pop up. Utility Model Content

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] In order to solve the problem of low assembly efficiency of the structure in which the lid automatically pops up due to the bending deformation restored by an elastic rubber strip, the inventor of the present application came up with the idea during the research process that a hard elastic strip integrally formed with the box body can be used, and the top end of the hard elastic strip can be abutted against the lid. After the lid is closed, the hard elastic strip can be bent, and when it is opened, the hard elastic strip can automatically return to a straight state to push the lid open, so that the lid can automatically pop open.

[0046] This method can save the assembly steps of the hard elastic strip, thereby solving the problem of low assembly efficiency. However, after actual production tests, it was found that the hard elastic strip has relatively poor toughness and is prone to aging and becoming brittle after being affected by external factors such as temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet rays. As a result, it is easy to bend and break after long-term use, and the problem of short service life cannot be overcome.

[0047] Based on this, the inventor of the present application has designed a container that can extend the service life of the elastic member after research and verification. First, instead of using strip-shaped elastic members, block-shaped elastic members are used to improve the structural strength and fatigue resistance of the elastic member, and the elastic member is made of soft elastic material to ensure its deformation ability and anti-aging performance. Secondly, in order to ensure that the block-shaped elastic member can provide reliable elastic force for the cover body while extending the service life of the block-shaped elastic member, the block-shaped elastic member is arranged on the cover body, and when the cover body is closed, the block-shaped elastic member is elastically compressed by mutual compression with the abutment on the box body, and then the cover body is automatically pushed open and bounced up by utilizing the ability of the block-shaped elastic member to recover deformation after elastic compression. Since the block-shaped elastic member undergoes elastic compression rather than elastic bending during the working process, it can have better fatigue resistance and extend the service life of the block-shaped elastic member. In addition, the block-shaped elastic member is also produced in an integrated molding method with the cover body to overcome the problem of low assembly efficiency.

[0048] It should be noted that since the block elastic part is a soft material and the cover body is generally a hard material, the two can be integrally formed by existing methods such as one-piece molding using a two-color injection molding machine or secondary injection molding using a rubber-coated mold using an ordinary injection molding machine. This application does not involve improvements to the specific molding processes of the two.

[0049] First see Figure 1, the figure shows the structure of the container provided by an embodiment of the present application in an open state. As shown in the figure, the container 100 includes a box body 110 and a cover body 120. A storage slot 111 for storing articles is provided on the box body 110. A notch 112 of the storage slot 111 is opened on one side 113 of the box body. A first side 121 of the cover body 120 is rotatably connected to a position on the box body 110 located on one side of the notch 112. The cover body 120 is used to open or close the notch 112 when rotating relative to the box body 110. A second side 122 of the cover body 120 opposite to the first side 121 is used to be engaged and connected with the box body 110 when the cover body 120 closes the notch 112, so as to keep the cover body 120 in a closed state. The closed state of the container 100 is as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an abutment portion 114 is provided on the outer wall of the box body 110 on one side of the storage groove 111, and the rotation connection 130 of the box body 110 and the cover body 120 is located on the same side as the abutment portion 114, and a block-shaped, soft elastic member 140 is provided on the first side 121, and the elastic member 140 and the cover body 120 are an integral structure.

[0051] See also Figures 3 to 5 , the figure shows the cross-sectional structure of the container 100 in several states from the closed state to the open state. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the elastic member 140 is used to contact the abutment portion 114 and be squeezed by the abutment portion 114 when the cover body 120 is in a closed state. Figure 3 The elastic compression in the direction indicated by the dashed arrow in the middle makes Figure 4 After the second side 122 is released from the box body 110, the elastic member 140 recovers its deformation (stretches) and causes the cover body 120 to automatically pop up through the interaction force with the abutment portion 114. Figure 4 Rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow, and finally appear as Figure 5 The on state is shown.

[0052] The second side 122 and the box body 110 may be connected in a snap-fitting manner using structures such as a buckle, a hook, or a latch, and the specific snap-fitting connection method is not limited herein.

[0053] The abutment portion 114 may be Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the abutment portion 114 is integrally formed with the box body 110 to reduce the number of parts of the container 100 and improve its assembly efficiency. Of course, the abutment portion 114 can also be separately processed and then assembled and fixed on the box body 110 by heat welding, clamping, threaded fasteners, etc.

[0054] It should be noted that the abutting portion 114 is generally made of a material with relatively high hardness to ensure that the abutting portion 114 is substantially not deformed when in contact with and pressed against the elastic member 140 , thereby ensuring reliable elastic compression of the elastic member 140 .

[0055] The elastic member 140 may be formed by Figure 1 In addition to the square shape shown in the figure, cylindrical, prism, spherical, hemispherical, ellipsoidal and the like shapes may also be used. Their specific working principles are consistent with the square shape shown in the figure, and will not be elaborated here.

[0056] In some embodiments, the cover 120 is made of a hard plastic material, for example, the cover 120 can be made of polypropylene (PP), the elastic member 140 is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and the cover 120 and the elastic member 140 are integrally injection molded. For example, in specific production, the hard plastic cover 120 can be first injection molded in a mold, and then the elastic member 140 can be secondary injection molded in a mold with the cover 120, so that the elastic member 140 forms a TPE encapsulation on the cover 120. Of course, a two-color injection molding machine can also be used to simultaneously inject hard plastic and TPE materials, so that the cover 120 and the elastic member 140 can be simultaneously molded in one injection molding.

[0057] During the rotation of the cover 120 between the closed state and the open state, the working principle of the elastic member 140 is as follows:

[0058] First, when the cover 120 is rotated to close, the elastic member 140 in the initial state (not deformed) will interfere with the abutment 114 and squeeze each other, and an interaction force will be generated between the two. Therefore, the user needs to apply a large pressure on the cover 120 to overcome this interaction force and ensure that the cover 120 can continue to rotate. As the cover 120 continues to rotate, the elastic member 140 is squeezed by the abutment 114, and the degree of compression gradually increases. When the cover 120 is rotated to the closed state, the second side 122 forms a snap connection with the box body 110, and the cover 120 is restricted and remains in the closed state. At this time, the elastic member 140 has been compressed and deformed to a large extent by the force of the abutment 114, specifically Figure 3 Status shown.

[0059] Then, when the cover 120 needs to be opened, it is only necessary to release the engagement connection between the second side 122 and the box body 110. Then, the cover 120 will be automatically lifted up by the elastic member 140 and rotated accordingly during the process of the elastic member 140 recovering its elastic deformation, and finally bounced to the open state. The entire process of the cover 120 rotating and opening does not require the user to apply additional force. Figure 4 After the engagement connection between the second side 122 and the box body 110 is released, the elastic member 140 will stretch itself to restore the deformation. In this process, the elastic member 140 will also generate an interaction force with the abutment portion 114. While stretching, the elastic member 140 will move to the upper left under the force of the abutment portion 114. At the same time, the elastic member 140 will apply a force toward the upper left to the first side 121 of the cover body 120. Since the cover body 120 is restricted by the rotation connection 130, under the action of this force, the cover body 120 will rotate and bounce up, and finally present Figure 5 The open state is shown. Figure 5 It can be seen that in the open state, the user can easily take and place items in the storage slot 111 through the notch 112 by hand.

[0060] In summary, in the container 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the elastic member 140 and the cover body 120 are integrally formed, and the elastic member 140 is a block structure and a soft material, which makes the required volume of the elastic member 140 smaller, the overall structure of the container 100 compact, and the number of parts is smaller, which is more convenient for assembly. Furthermore, for the block-shaped elastic member 140, the elastic member 140 and the abutment portion 114 are compressed and rebounded after being squeezed to realize the automatic opening of the cover body 120. Compared with the bending and rebounding method of the strip-shaped elastic member, the compression and rebound method can have better fatigue resistance, which is conducive to improving the service life of the elastic member 140 and ensuring that the cover body 120 can still be effectively rebounded after long-term use.

[0061] Considering that if the elastic member 140 is compressed too much, it may cause difficulty in closing the cover 120, and when the cover 120 is closed, the excessive elastic force of the elastic member 140 itself may easily cause the snap connection between the second side 122 and the box body 110 to collapse. Based on this, the inventor of the present application found in practice that it is difficult to reliably control the elastic force of the elastic member 140 after compression, whether by changing the material properties of the elastic member 140 or by changing the volume of the elastic member 140.

[0062] In view of the above problems, this application further proposes an implementation method, please refer to Figure 6 , the figure shows the structure of the container 100 in another perspective when it is in an open state. As shown in the figure, when the elastic member 140 contacts the abutting portion 114, the area of ​​the surface 141 on the elastic member is larger than the area of ​​the surface 1141 on the abutting portion. Figure 6 Among them, the surface 141 on the elastic member and the surface 1141 on the abutting portion are respectively shown by hatching lines of different proportions and angles.

[0063] exist Figure 6In the specific embodiment shown, the surface 141 on the elastic member is a large surface on one side of the entire elastic member 140, and the abutting portion 114 adopts two small protrusions, and the surface 1141 on the abutting portion is the top surface of the two small protrusions. It can be seen from the figure that the area of ​​the surface 141 on the elastic member is much larger than the surface 1141 on the abutting portion, that is, the area of ​​the large surface on one side of the entire elastic member 140 is much larger than the sum of the areas of the top surfaces of the two small protrusions.

[0064] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the surface 141 on the elastic member is larger than the area of ​​the surface 1141 on the abutting portion, mainly because after the surface 141 on the elastic member contacts the surface 1141 on the abutting portion, when the elastic member 140 and the abutting portion 114 are pressed against each other, only the portion of the elastic member 140 that contacts the surface 1141 on the abutting portion will be compressed to a greater extent, while the portion that does not contact the surface 1141 on the abutting portion will be deformed to a lesser extent, thereby controlling the amount of compression deformation of the elastic member 140, that is, controlling the elastic force of the elastic member 140, and preventing the elastic member 140 from generating too much elastic force, causing the cover 120 to be unable to close normally or causing the cover 120 to collapse. On this basis, by changing the size of the contact area between the elastic member 140 and the abutting portion 114, the elastic force of the elastic member 140 after compression can be conveniently and accurately adjusted to a suitable size.

[0065] Understandably, Figure 6 This is only one of the embodiments provided in the present application. In some other embodiments, the abutment portion 114 may also be an abutment block with a top surface area smaller than the large surface area of ​​one side of the elastic member 140, or the elastic member 140 and the abutment portion 114 may also adopt other shapes, as long as it is ensured that the area of ​​the surface 141 on the elastic member in the two facing surfaces is larger than the area of ​​the surface 1141 on the abutment portion, that is, it is ensured that the abutment portion 114 does not compress the entire elastic member 140 and cause the elastic member 140 to be compressed to an excessive extent.

[0066] In the case where the area of ​​the surface 1141 on the abutting portion is smaller than the area of ​​the surface 141 on the elastic member, if the abutting portion 114 uses a single surface to contact and extrude the elastic member 140, the elastic force applied by the elastic member 140 to the cover body 120 during the compression deformation process is likely to be unevenly distributed, causing the cover body 120 to tilt, thereby affecting its rotation flexibility. In this regard, the present application proposes an implementation method, please continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the abutment portion 114 includes a plurality of sub-abutment portions 1142 and 1143 , and the plurality of sub-abutment portions 1142 and 1143 are symmetrically distributed relative to the center of the elastic member 140 , and abut against different positions of the elastic member 140 respectively.

[0067] It should be noted that in Figure 6In the specific embodiment shown, there are two sub-abutment portions, which does not constitute a limitation on the specific number of sub-abutment portions. In some other embodiments, three or more sub-abutment portions may also be used. When the number is an even number, the multiple sub-abutment portions may be symmetrically distributed on the center line ( Figure 6 On both sides of the middle dotted line A), when the number is an odd number, one of the sub-abutment portions coincides with the center line of the elastic member 140 , and the remaining sub-abutment portions are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the center line of the elastic member 140 .

[0068] By using multiple symmetrically distributed sub-abutment parts to abut against different positions of the elastic member 140, the difference in compression degree between different parts of the elastic member 140 can be reduced, thereby ensuring that the elastic force of the elastic member 140 on the cover body 120 is basically evenly distributed, thereby ensuring the structural stability and rotational flexibility of the cover body 120.

[0069] In some embodiments, the elastic member 140 and the abutment portion 114 are both symmetrically distributed relative to the center of the first side 121, and the elastic member 140 and the abutment portion 114 are matched one by one. This embodiment does not have a corresponding structure shown in the drawings, but can be based on Figure 6 To understand, Figure 6 , a structure in which a group of elastic members 140 cooperate with the abutment portion 114 (that is, one elastic member 140 cooperates with one abutment portion 114), in this embodiment, multiple groups of such cooperation structures are arranged, for example, two groups, three groups, etc., and are arranged symmetrically relative to the center of the first side 121.

[0070] Similar to the method of using multiple sub-abutment portions mentioned in the above embodiment, in this embodiment, multiple groups of elastic members 140 and abutment portions 114 that correspond one to one are used and distributed symmetrically relative to the center of the first side 121, also to ensure that the elastic force of the elastic member 140 acting on the cover body 120 can be more evenly distributed.

[0071] Regarding the snap-fit ​​connection structure between the second side 122 and the box body 110, this application proposes an implementation method. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the second side 122 is bent to form a folded edge 123, and a first clamping portion 1231 is provided on the folded edge 123. A pressing member 150 is provided on the side of the box body 110 that is away from the abutting portion 114. The pressing member 150 is provided with a second clamping portion 151. The first clamping portion 1231 is used to be clamped and connected with the second clamping portion 151 when the cover body 120 is in a closed state. The pressing member 150 is used to rotate relative to the box body 110 when subjected to pressure, so that the second clamping portion 151 and the first clamping portion 1231 are released from the clamping.

[0072] Specifically, the first clamping portion 1231 and the second clamping portion 151 can adopt a method of matching a clamping protrusion with a clamping groove, a method of matching a clamping hook with a clamping ring, etc. The pressing member 150 and the box body 110 can be an integral structure and connected to each other through a cantilever, so that the pressing member 150 can rotate relative to the box body 110 through the bending deformation of the cantilever. Of course, the pressing member 150 and the box body 110 can also be a split structure and be rotatably connected to each other through a hinge, a pin, etc.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first clamping portion 1231 is provided on the folded edge 123 formed by bending the second side 122, so that the first clamping portion 1231 has better structural strength, ensuring the stability of the clamping connection between the first clamping portion 1231 and the second clamping portion 151 on the pressing member 150. In addition, the second clamping portion 151 and the first clamping portion 1231 are released from the mutual clamping by pressing the pressing member 150 to rotate it relative to the box body 110, making the cover opening operation more convenient.

[0074] In order to improve the stability of the cover 120, the present application further proposes an implementation method. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, a plurality of first clamping portions 1231 are symmetrically arranged on the folding edge 123, and a plurality of second clamping portions 151 are symmetrically arranged on the pressing member 150, and the first clamping portions 1231 are correspondingly engaged with the second clamping portions 151 one by one.

[0075] Taking into account that in the closed state, the cover body 120 has a tendency to bounce up due to the elastic force of the elastic member 140, in order to prevent the first clamping portion 1231 and the second clamping portion 151 from collapsing, in this embodiment, multiple groups of first clamping portions 1231 and second clamping portions 151 that are symmetrically arranged in a one-to-one corresponding snap-fit ​​connection are used to share the stress, thereby reducing the stress borne by each group of first clamping portions 1231 and second clamping portions 151 that are snap-fitted to each other, thereby ensuring the stability of the snap-fit.

[0076] Regarding the structure of the pressing member 150, this application proposes an implementation method. Figure 7 The figure shows the cross-sectional structure when the first clamping portion 1231 and the second clamping portion 151 are engaged and connected. It should be noted that Figure 7 In order to conveniently show the structure of the engaging part, the section line on the cover 120 is removed, and the first engaging part 1231 and the second engaging part 151 on the cover 120 are shown with dotted lines. Figure 7As shown in , the pressing member 150 and the box body 110 are an integral structure. The pressing member 150 includes a suspension plate 152 and a rotating plate 153. The suspension plate 152 is formed by extending outward from the side of the box body 110 that is away from the abutting portion 114. The rotating plate 153 is formed by vertically extending from the side of the suspension plate 152 that is away from the box body 110. There is a gap 160 between the rotating plate 153 and the box body 110. The first clamping portion 1231 is a clamping interface 1231a provided on the folding edge 123, and the second clamping portion 151 is a clamping block 151a formed by the rotating plate 153 protruding toward one side of the box body 110. The cover body 120 is used to extend the folding edge 123 into the gap 160 to make the clamping interface 1231a and the clamping block 151a engage and connect when the notch 112 is rotated and closed. The rotating plate 153 is used to be subjected to such as Figure 7 When the pressure X shown in FIG. 1 is reached, the rotating plate 153 and the suspension plate 152 are elastically bent and deformed to rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow B, so as to drive the card block 151a to swing outward and release the card interface 1231a, forming a Figure 8 In the state shown, the cover body 120 will rotate and bounce up in the direction shown by the arrow in the figure under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 140.

[0077] In this embodiment, the pressing member 150 adopts a suspension plate 152 and a rotating plate 153 which are an integral structure with the box body 110, and the rotation of the rotating plate 153 relative to the box body 110 is realized by elastic bending deformation of the suspension plate 152 and the rotating plate 153, thereby driving the card block 151a to separate and release the card interface 1231a. This method makes it easier to unlock the cover body 120, and the ability of the suspension plate 152 and the rotating plate 153 to restore deformation can also be used to achieve automatic resetting, ensuring that the cover body 120 can remain in a closed state after being closed.

[0078] Furthermore, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in , in some embodiments, a pressing plate 154 is formed on the rotating plate 153 at one end opposite to the suspension plate 152 and extending in a direction away from the box body 110. The pressing plate 154 is used to drive the rotating plate 153 to rotate when subjected to pressure.

[0079] The pressing plate 154 is formed by extending the end of the rotating plate 153 opposite to the hanging plate 152 in the direction away from the box body 110, so that the user can easily apply pressure to the pressing plate 154 with fingers to unlock the cover body 120, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient operation.

[0080] According to another aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a medicine box is also provided. Fig. 9 , the structure of the medicine box is shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, the medicine box 500 includes a plurality of containers 100 provided by any of the above embodiments, and the plurality of containers 100 are arranged in an array.

[0081] Specifically, the container 100 is Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, each container 100 corresponds to storing medicines required to be taken every day in the seven days of a week. Of course, the medicine box 500 can also be set to have other numbers of containers 100 according to different needs, which is not limited here.
