[0035] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present application, the following will be described in detail by way of examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0036] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application may be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] In addition, in the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.

[0038] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; it may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and may be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the first feature being "on" or "under" the second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, the description referring to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "examples", "specific examples" or "some examples", etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, this application provides a new type of folding storage bin, including a bottom plate 10, a first side plate 20 and a second side plate 30. There are two first side plates 20 and two second side plates 30 respectively arranged oppositely. On two opposite sides of the bottom plate 10, connecting plates 11 protrude upward. The top of the connecting plate 11 is hinged to the second side plate 30. On the other two sides of the bottom plate 10, U-shaped plates 12 protrude upward. The first side plate 20 is hingedly arranged in the U-shaped groove of the U-shaped plate 12. On both sides of the top of the second side plate 30, there are mating parts 31. On both sides of the top of the first side plate 20, there are connecting parts 21. The connecting parts 21 and the mating parts 31 are detachably connected.

[0041] Among them, as Figure 8 shown, the structure of the bottom plate 10 is a traditional square structure. On two opposite side walls, there are square connecting plate 11 structures. On the edges of the other two side walls, there are U-shaped plate 12 structures. As can be seen in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the U-shaped plate 12 structure is not a standard U-shaped letter, but a structure with a lower middle part and higher sides on both sides. The length of the middle part is longer, and the top of the structure at the bottom of the middle part is hinged to the first side plate 20. In order to adapt to the structure of the U-shaped plate 12 with higher sides on both sides and a lower middle part, the first side plate 20 also has an adaptable structure, that is, as Figure 4 shown, a part of the bottom wall of the first side plate 20 protrudes downward in the middle, and the edges of both sides of the bottom wall are recessed upward, so as to be able to be placed into the recessed structure of the U-shaped plate 12 to ensure smooth hinged folding.

[0042] Furthermore, the sum of the heights of the U-shaped plate 12 and the first side plate 20 is the same as the sum of the heights of the second side plate 30 and the connecting plate 11 to ensure normal use after being unfolded into a box structure. The folding storage bin has a storage bin state and a folding state, as Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, it can be seen that the heights of the higher parts on both sides of the U-shaped plate 12 are the same as the height of the connecting plate 11. And due to the setting of the concave area of the U-shaped plate 12, after folding, the first side plate 20 in the folded state is stacked on top of the second side plate 30, which is convenient for stacking the two side plates in the folded state and further facilitates folding, storage and transportation.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, an unlocking portion 22 is provided at the top of the first side plate 20, and the unlocking portion 22 can release the connection between the engaging portion 31 and the connecting portion 21.

[0044] Among them, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the connecting portion 21 has two outwardly protruding bumps, and the engaging portion 31 has two grooves adapted to the bumps. The bumps and the grooves can be snap-fitted. It should be noted that the number of bumps being two is a preferred embodiment of the present application, and it is not necessary to set two. For folding boxes of different sizes or different requirements, different numbers of bumps can be set.

[0045] For the engaging portion 31, a shielding plate can be provided on its back, and the shielding plate structure can be arranged out of alignment with the groove, that is, after the bump of the connecting portion 21 enters the groove of the engaging portion 31, the shielding plate structure can abut against the side of the connecting portion 21. On the one hand, it improves the fixing effect, and on the other hand, the setting of the shielding plate can make the back of the second side plate 30 more firm and reduce the appearance of holes, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0046] Furthermore, an unlocking cavity 23 is provided inside the first side plate 20, and the unlocking portion 22 is arranged in the unlocking cavity 23. Among them, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the unlocking cavity 23 can be an internal long hole opened in the top area of the first side plate 20. And the unlocking portion 22 includes an unlocking strip 221 and a pressing block 222. The pressing block 222 is arranged at the middle position of the unlocking strip 221. The two sides of the unlocking strip 221 are connected to the connecting portion 21, and the unlocking strip 221 is located in the unlocking cavity 23.

[0047] It can be understood that the unlocking strip 221 is made of plastic, and the pressing block 222 can press and deform the unlocking strip 221. In this way, when the pressing block 222 is pressed, it can drive the central area of the unlocking strip 221 to move downward to a certain extent. Since the plastic has a certain elasticity, when the central area is pressed down, the two sides of the unlocking strip 221 start to move towards the middle and the lower part of the unlocking strip 221, which can make the bumps of the connecting portion 21 on both sides of the unlocking strip 221 disengage from the engaging portion 31 to achieve unlocking, and the operation is relatively convenient.

[0048] In addition, for the convenience of installing the unlocking part 22, the back of the area where the unlocking cavity 23 is formed on the first side plate 20 can be set as an open structure, and a pick-and-place plate 25 can be detachably arranged or adhesively arranged later. When arranging the unlocking strip 221, the unlocking cavity 23 is first in an open structure. The unlocking strip 221 enters the unlocking cavity 23 from the rear of the first side plate 20 and is pushed upward. Since a pressing area 24 can be formed at the center of the top of the first side plate 20, a part of the pressing block 222 protrudes from the pressing area 24 so that the pressing block 222 reaches the position of the pressing area 24, and the two connecting parts 21 are also installed at the designated positions. Then, the pick-and-place plate 25 can be installed at the unlocking cavity 23. For its installation, it can be directly fixed on it by means of hot melting, gluing, etc., or detachably connected by means of buckling, abutting, etc.

[0049] It should be noted that in this application, by providing the unlocking part 22 at the top of the first side plate 20, the connecting part 21 and the mating part 31 are unlocked, and the operation is relatively convenient. Moreover, by providing the unlocking cavity 23 inside the first side plate 20 in this application, the unlocking part 22 can be placed in the unlocking cavity 23, which can not only make the structure more beautiful and hide it, but also the unlocking part 22 arranged in the unlocking cavity 23 can reduce the influence of the outside world on it, improving the safety and reliability of use.

[0050] Of course, to ensure reliable use, the sum of the lengths of the unlocking strip 221 and the connecting part 21 is the same as the length of the first side plate 20. When in use, it is necessary to change the material box in the folded state to the material box state, and the first side plate 20 and the second side plate 30 are unfolded to the vertical state by means of hinge. Since the connecting part 21 and the mating part 31 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first side plate 20 and the second side plate 30, they can be mutually clamped during assembly to achieve fixation in the material box state; when the material box is not needed and needs to be stored and transported, the pressing block 222 at the first side plate 20 can be pressed, and the pressing block 222 drives the unlocking strip 221 to move downward, and then the elastic force of the unlocking strip 221 drives the two connecting parts 21 on both sides to move obliquely toward the middle and downward, so that the connecting part 21 disengages from the mating part 31 to achieve unlocking, and the material box changes to the folded state.

[0051] What is not described in this application can be realized by adopting or referring to the existing technology.

[0052] Each embodiment in this specification is described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts among the embodiments can be referred to each other, and the key points of each embodiment are the differences from other embodiments.

[0053] The above are only embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
