[0026] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with embodiments.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present utility model provides a plastic storage box with a firm structure, including an outer box body 1, an inner box body 2, a support assembly 3, a box cover 4, a reinforcing member 5 and a clamping assembly 6. The inner box body 2 is installed in the open mouth of the outer box body 1. The outer box body 1 and the inner box body 2 are firmly connected through the support assembly 3. A plurality of card slots 11 are opened on four sides of the outer box body 1. A plurality of blocks 22 corresponding to the card slots 11 are arranged on the hem 21. The cross sections of the blocks 22 are all in a right triangle structure;

[0028] Specifically, when assembling the outer box body 1 and the inner box body 2, the inner box body 2 is vertically inserted into the open mouth of the outer box body 1. The inclined side of the block 22 is squeezed, causing the inner box body 2 to deform. Until the block 22 is aligned with the card slot 11, under the elastic action of the inner box body 2, the block 22 is embedded in the card slot 11. The right triangle-structured block 22 can provide a good mechanical interlocking effect when inserted into the card slot 11, preventing the separation of the outer box body 1 and the inner box body 2 and increasing the structural stability of the plastic storage box.

[0029] Furthermore, the support assembly 3 includes a transverse support rib plate 31 and a longitudinal support rib plate 32. Both the transverse support rib plate 31 and the longitudinal support rib plate 32 are in a "concave" shape structure. Among them, the structure of the transverse support rib plate 31 is consistent with the transverse cross-sectional structure between the outer box body 1 and the inner box body 2, and the structure of the longitudinal support rib plate 32 is consistent with the longitudinal cross-sectional structure between the outer box body 1 and the inner box body 2;

[0030] Specifically, the "concave" shaped transverse support rib plate 31 and longitudinal support rib plate 32 can be better embedded into the open mouth of the outer box body 1, providing a better support effect. This structure not only helps to improve the overall structural stability, but also can reduce deformation or damage caused by external forces, enabling the plastic storage box to reduce production costs while ensuring the structural firmness, reducing the weight and transportation burden of the plastic storage box, achieving multiple benefits at once.

[0031] Further, the transverse support rib plates 31 and the longitudinal support rib plates 32 intersect with each other to form a grid-like structure. A plurality of lower notches 33 are formed on the lower side of the transverse support rib plates 31, and a plurality of upper notches 34 are formed on the upper side of the longitudinal support rib plates 32. The adjacent lower notches 33 and upper notches 34 are inserted into each other in a butt-joint manner.

[0032] Specifically, the transverse support rib plates 31 and the longitudinal support rib plates 32 are arranged in an intersecting manner to form a stable grid-like structure. This structure can effectively disperse and bear the forces acting on the plastic storage box, improving the overall load-bearing capacity and stability. The design of the notches increases the connection points between the transverse support rib plates 31 and the longitudinal support rib plates 32, enabling both the transverse support rib plates 31 and the longitudinal support rib plates 32 to be effectively stressed, ensuring the tight combination between the transverse support rib plates 31 and the longitudinal support rib plates 32, eliminating the need for additional bonding or fixing, simplifying the assembly process, and improving production efficiency.

[0033] Further, a box cover 4 is installed on the upper side of the inner box body 2. A hem 21 is fixed on the outer edge of the open mouth of the inner box body 2. A surrounding edge 41 is fixed at the edge of the box cover 4. A slot for accommodating the hem 21 is formed between the surrounding edge 41 and the rectangular frame plate 51.

[0034] Specifically, the design of the slot allows for a clear guiding when the hem 21 is inserted, ensuring that the box cover 4 can be accurately and firmly placed within the open mouth of the inner box body 2, simplifying the assembly process. The tight fit between the box cover 4 and the inner box body 2 helps to ensure the sealing between the box cover 4 and the inner box body 2, preventing water from entering the plastic storage box, and can also improve the stability and durability of the entire plastic storage box.

[0035] Further, a strengthening member 5 is provided on the side of the box cover 4 facing the inner box body 2. The strengthening member 5 abuts against the inner box body 2. The strengthening member 5 is composed of a rectangular frame plate 51, grid strengthening rib plates 52, and fan-shaped strengthening rib plates 53. The grid strengthening rib plates 52 are located within the rectangular frame plate 51. Both the rectangular frame plate 51 and the grid strengthening rib plates 52 are fixed on the side of the box cover 4 facing the inner box body 2. Among them, the rectangular frame plate 51 is adapted to the open-mouth structure of the inner box body 2, and fan-shaped strengthening rib plates 53 are fixedly connected between the edges of the grid strengthening rib plates 52 and the rectangular frame plate 51.

[0036] Specifically, the design of the rectangular frame plate 51 facilitates the insertion of the box cover 4 into the open mouth of the inner box body 2. The grid strengthening rib plates 52 enhance the rigidity of the box cover 4 by providing additional support, thereby improving its load-bearing capacity. The grid-like design helps to disperse the forces acting on the box cover 4, reducing local stress concentration. The shape of the fan-shaped strengthening rib plates 53 helps to further enhance the structural stability of the box cover 4, especially in the corner areas of the box cover 4, which are more prone to deformation when subjected to pressure.

[0037] Furthermore, both ends of the outer box body 1 and the box cover 4 are connected by a buckle assembly 6, and the buckle assembly 6 includes a hook plate 61 fixed on the end surface of the surrounding edge 41 and a connecting plate 62 fixedly connected to the side surface of the outer box body 1, and a hanging ring 63 is rotatably connected between the two side walls of the connecting plate 62, and the end of the hanging ring 63 away from the connecting plate 62 is buckled and connected to the hook plate 61;

[0038] Specifically, the two snap-fit ​​components 6 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the plastic storage box. After being snapped together, the structure is stable and easy to carry. The hanging ring 63 is lifted up and snap-fitted with the hook plate 61, which can prevent items from being scattered and facilitate the classification of items. Conversely, the hanging ring 63 is lifted outward and the hanging ring 63 is separated from the hook plate 61, so that the box cover 4 can be opened to facilitate taking out the items in the plastic storage box.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] Before use, the items are stacked in the inner box body 2. After closing the box cover 4, the hanging ring 63 is lifted up and snapped into the hook plate 61 to prevent the items from scattering and facilitate the classification of items. During use, the transverse supporting ribs 31 and the longitudinal supporting ribs 32 effectively support the gap between the outer box body 1 and the inner box body 2, so that external force is not easy to cause deformation of the plastic storage box. The grid reinforcing ribs 52, the fan-shaped reinforcing ribs 53, and the rectangular frame plates 51 can transfer stress to the side walls of the inner box body 2, which can prevent the box cover 4 from being broken due to excessive force, greatly improving the all-round load capacity of the plastic storage box.
