Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features; the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more; "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the anti-skid chain storage box includes: a storage box body 10, a first locking mechanism 20, a handle 30, and a second locking mechanism 40.

[0032] Among them, the storage box body 10 can be a circular box body having a certain thickness in the height direction. The storage box body has a lid 11 that can be flipped open and closed, and the anti-skid chain 80 can be put in and taken out by opening the lid 11. Preferably, the outer surface of the bottom of the storage box body is also provided with a position for installing a magic tape strip and an installation buckle.

[0033] The first locking mechanism 20 is arranged inside the storage box body. It extends a suitable distance along the height direction from the central position of the bottom of the storage box body. The second locking mechanism 40 is a component that cooperates with the first locking structure 20 to lock and open the lid 11.

[0034] In addition, a notch 12 is provided at the central position of the lid 11. The handle 30 located on the outer surface of the lid is rotatably connected to the lid. While it can be flipped relative to the lid, it is also connected to the second locking mechanism 40 through the notch of the lid, so that the user can drive the second locking mechanism 40 to change its position by changing the position of the handle.

[0035] During actual use, as Figure 3As shown, the user can move the handle 30 to the locked position. At this time, as Figure 4 shown, the second locking mechanism 40 engages with the first locking mechanism 20 to limit the lid from flipping over and achieve locking of the lid.

[0036] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, when controlling the handle 30 to move to the unlocked position, the second locking mechanism 40 disengages from the first locking mechanism 20. At this time, the lid can be opened to take out or put in the anti-skid chain from the inside of the box body.

[0037] Preferably, a recess 14 adapted to the size and shape of the handle 30 can be further provided on the outer surface of the lid 11. By providing this recess 14, when the handle 30 is not in use, it can be accommodated therein without protruding from the outer surface of the lid 11, playing a role in reducing the volume. For the convenience of flipping out the handle 30, appropriate vacant positions can also be provided on the recess 14 so that the user's fingers can reach into the recess 14 to apply force to the handle 30.

[0038] The above first locking mechanism and second locking mechanism can be implemented in a variety of different structural ways. To fully describe the present invention, two different specific examples are provided below.

[0039] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , the first locking mechanism 20 includes: a first locking mechanism body 21 and a pair of limiting chutes 23. Correspondingly, the second locking mechanism 40 includes: a main spindle body 41 and a pair of locking pins 43.

[0040] Among them, the first locking mechanism body 21 is fixed at the central position of the bottom of the storage box body and has two opposite side walls. The limiting chutes 23 are provided on the inner surface of the side walls and are a chute body walking parallel to the height direction. One end of the limiting chute 23 forms a chute opening 25. The limiting chute 23 is in a circular arc shape protruding towards the direction close to the bottom of the storage box body.

[0041] The main spindle body 41 is located on the inner surface of the lid and is arranged parallel to the lid. A pair of locking pins 43 are respectively provided on both sides of the main spindle body 41 and are arranged to be adapted to the limiting chutes 23 and can slide in the limiting chutes 23.

[0042] In addition, the end of the handle 30 is rotationally connected between the main spindle body 41 and the lid 11 through a rotating shaft so that the locking pins 43 can follow the rotation of the handle and slide in the limiting chutes 23.

[0043] During actual use, when the handle 30 rotates around the main spindle body 41 to the unlocking position, the locking pin 43 moves to a position corresponding to the opening of the sliding groove 25. At this time, the lid 11 can be opened and closed without restriction, and the locking pin 43 will not affect the opening and closing of the lid.

[0044] When the handle 30 rotates around the main spindle body 41 to the locking position, the locking pin 43 moves to a position where it abuts against the end of the limiting sliding groove 23. At this time, under the restriction of the mutual abutment of the limiting sliding groove 23 and the locking pin 43, the position of the lid 11 is locked and cannot be opened or closed.

[0045] Preferably, in order to facilitate observing and determining the current position state, a rotating display area is additionally provided beside the handle, so as to visually display the current state of the box. In order to form this rotating display area, as Figure 1 shown, the anti-skid chain storage box may further include: an annular indicating member 50.

[0046] Among them, the annular indicating member 50 is sleeved on the main spindle body 41 and is a member that rotates with the main spindle body 41. Corresponding indicating marks are provided in different areas in the circumferential direction of the annular indicating member 50. For example, a locking mark and an unlocking mark.

[0047] Thus, as Figure 3 shown, when the handle 30 rotates to the unlocking position, the unlocking mark corresponding to the annular indicating member 50 can be exposed on the outer surface of the lid, and when the handle 30 rotates to the locking position, the annular indicating member 50 rotates accordingly, so that the locking mark is exposed on the outer surface of the lid.

[0048] The above-mentioned locking structure integrating the handle and the fastening, when the handle is placed flat and locked and fastened, the handle is opened to a certain angle and then the locking position is disengaged and the lid can be opened smoothly. The overall operation is simple and convenient. The handle and the box are in a vertical direction for convenient hand carrying. At this time, it is in a locked state, and the appropriate arc design makes the box not open when it sways at plus or minus 45 degrees.

[0049] In some other embodiments, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the above-mentioned first locking mechanism 20 includes: a first locking mechanism body 22 and a pair of locking members 24. Correspondingly, the second locking mechanism includes: a main base 42 and a pair of latching protrusions 44.

[0050] Among them, the first locking mechanism body 22 is fixed at the central position of the bottom of the storage box body, and it also has two opposite side walls. The locking member 24 is formed at the top of the side wall and has a horizontal card slot 26 opened in the horizontal direction.

[0051] One end of the horizontal slot also forms a slot opening 28. Specifically, the slot openings 28 of the horizontal slots of the pair of locking members can be arranged in directions away from each other to ensure a good locking and limiting effect.

[0052] The main base 42 is connected to the end of the handle 30 and can rotate around a central axis perpendicular to the horizontal direction; a pair of locking protrusions 44 are set on the outer peripheral edge of the main base 42 and are adapted to the horizontal locking groove.

[0053] In actual use, Figure 8 As shown, after lifting the handle 30, the user can swing the handle 30 to drive the main base 42 to rotate around the central axis to the unlocking position, and the locking protrusion 44 will be disengaged from the horizontal locking groove 26 through the locking groove opening 28. At this time, the box cover 11 can be opened and closed without restriction, and the locking protrusion 44 will not affect the opening and closing of the box cover.

[0054] When the handle drives the main base 42 to rotate around the central axis to the locked position, the locking protrusion 44 enters the horizontal slot 26 through the slot opening 28 and abuts against the end of the horizontal slot 26. At this time, under the mutual abutment between the horizontal slot 26 and the locking protrusion 44, the position of the cover 11 is locked and cannot be opened and closed freely.

[0055] Specifically, Figure 9 As shown, the main base 42 includes a handle base 421 and a limiting sleeve 422 .

[0056] The handle base 421 is connected to the end of the handle 30 via a rotating shaft, so that the handle can rotate around the rotating shaft parallel to the horizontal direction to achieve lifting of the handle 30.

[0057] The limiting sleeve 422 is assembled and fixed to the handle base 421 and is located inside the storage box body. A pair of locking protrusions 44 are symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the limiting sleeve 422 and are adapted to the position and size of the horizontal slot.

[0058] In addition, the main base 42 may be circular. The notch 12 provided at the center of the box cover 11 may also be circular. The circular notch 12 may be provided with a guide protrusion, which cooperates with the circular gap existing in the main base 42 (for example, the gap formed by the limiting sleeve 422 and the handle base 421) to form a guide mechanism for guiding the main base 42 to rotate around the central axis.

[0059] Therefore, the user can conveniently rotate the handle 30 to drive the main base 42 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9The bottom of the storage box body is provided with an installation position adapted to the first locking mechanism body 22, and the first locking mechanism body 22 can provide an additional snap-fit fixing component to be locked and fixed at the installation position.

[0061] The buckle fixing member may be composed of two mutually matching first buckles 61 and second buckles 62. The two buckles are pressed together so that the bottom of the first locking mechanism body is pressed and fixed to the bottom of the storage box body.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 10 As shown, a pair of locking pins 43 and an annular indicating component 50 can be fixed to the two ends of the main shaft body 41 by buckling along the axial direction shown in the figure. The buckle centers at both ends of the main shaft body are set as through holes to facilitate the buckle to deform and spring into the buckle.

[0063] Preferably, in order to ensure that the box body has sufficient structural strength to support the force when it is lifted, a pair of mounting buckles 45 are further included. The mounting buckles 45 have a solid shaft body with a size that matches the central through hole of the buckle. After the locking pin 43 and the annular indicating component 50 are locked, the solid shaft body extends into the central through hole of the bayonet, so that the entire buckle forms a solid structure to provide sufficient structural strength to prevent the box body from slipping due to excessive force when it is lifted.

[0064] In summary, since the inner side of the tire is connected by a steel wire rope, this type of anti-skid chain will be rolled into a circle when stored. The storage box provided by the utility model uses the free space formed in the middle of the circle after the anti-skid chain is stored to set a snap-fit structure, which can improve the efficiency of space utilization, thereby reducing and compressing the volume. During stacking transportation, because of the midpoint support, the box's bearing capacity is greatly increased, avoiding the phenomenon of packaging damage caused by transportation inertia. Moreover, it is convenient to store the chain as a whole, and the volume is significantly reduced. During transportation, a container can hold 15-20% more goods.

[0065] In addition, anti-skid chains are an emergency escape device that needs to be carried in the car. The anti-skid chain storage box uses reasonable space in the car (such as spare tire space) and also sets a Velcro strip at the bottom of the box to increase friction, so that it can automatically fit with the flannel in the trunk of the car and will not slide when placed in the trunk. Moreover, the buckle structure set in the middle of the box will not cause sliding noise from the internal chain, so that the driver is willing to configure it in the car for a long time, so that it can be installed at any time when needed to reduce the probability of traffic accidents.

[0066] The above content is a further detailed description of the present utility model in combination with specific / preferred embodiments. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to only these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
