[0026] In order to further understand the content of this utility model, Figure 1-8 The present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Combined with Figure 1-8 A foldable storage device of this embodiment includes a bottom plate 1 and a side plate 2. The bottom plate 1 and the side plate 2 are an integral molded structure. The bottom edge of the side plate 2 is integrally connected to the edge of the bottom plate 1. A plurality of side plates 2 are provided and sequentially arranged around the bottom plate 1. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 1 is a rectangular structure, and four side plates 2 are provided and respectively distributed on the four edges of the bottom plate 1. In other embodiments, the bottom plate 1 may be a pentagon, a hexagon, or a triangle.

[0028] When adjacent side panels 2 are connected, the foldable storage device is in use. In specific applications, the adjacent side panels 2 are snapped together, one side panel 2 is provided with a snap-on hole 23, and the other side panel 2 is provided with a buckle 24 that cooperates with the snap-on hole 23; in other embodiments, the adjacent two side panels 24 can be connected magnetically. When the side panels 2 are folded to be relatively parallel relative to the bottom panel 1, the foldable storage device is in a folded state. When the foldable storage device is in use, the adjacent side panels 2 are connected so that the side panels 2 are perpendicular to the bottom panel 1. Since the bottom panel 1 and the side panels 2 are an integrated demolding structure, a gap 7 will appear between the bottom of the adjacent two side panels 2 and the bottom panel 1, and the filling piece 3 is snapped together with the bottom panel 1 to fill the gap 7.

[0029] The filling piece 3 has a bending structure to adapt to the right angle of the bottom plate 1. The filling piece 3 includes a connecting portion 31 and a shielding portion 32. The connecting portion 31 is clamped with the bottom plate 1. The shielding portion 32 is higher than the connecting portion 31. The shielding portion 32 shields the gap 7. In specific applications, the bending structure is a right-angle structure. One right-angle side of the bending structure is clamped with the bottom plate 1, and the other right-angle side of the bending structure is clamped with the bottom plate 1. Such a design can make the filling piece 3 and the bottom plate 1 firmly connected. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 1 is provided with a clamping hole groove structure 11, and the connecting portion 31 is provided with a clamping undercut 311. When the connecting portion 31 and the bottom plate 1 are clamped, the clamping undercut 311 is clamped in the clamping hole groove structure 11. In other embodiments, for illustration in the figure, the clamping hole groove structure 11 is provided on the connecting portion 31, and the clamping undercut 311 is provided on the bottom plate 1. The clamping structure between the filling piece 3 and the bottom plate 1 limits the up and down movement of the filling piece 3 relative to the bottom plate 1.

[0030] In order to further firmly connect the filling piece 3 and the bottom plate 1, the connecting portion 31 is provided with a first limiting portion, and the bottom plate 1 is provided with a second limiting portion, and the second limiting portion limits the first limiting portion to prevent the filling piece 3 and the bottom plate 1 from separating. In this embodiment, the first limiting portion is a thin plate structure 312 provided on the connecting portion 31, and the second limiting portion is a limiting plate 12 provided on the bottom plate 1. The limiting plate 12 and the side of the bottom plate 1 are parallel, and the thin plate structure 312 is sandwiched between the limiting plate 12 and the side of the bottom plate 1 during installation. The limiting plate 12 and the side of the bottom plate 1 form a limiting groove. There are two limiting grooves, one located on the right angle side of one side of the bottom plate 1, and the other located on the right angle side of the other side of the bottom plate 1. There are two corresponding thin plate structures 312, one located on one side of the bending structure of the filling piece 3, and the other located on the other side of the bending structure of the filling piece 3. In other embodiments, the thin plate structure 312 can be replaced by a short shaft or a short rod. The limiting plate 12 blocks the thin plate structure 312 to limit the sliding of the filling piece 3 along the right-angle side of the bottom plate 1 .

[0031] The bottom of the side panel 2 has a convex step 21 protruding relative to the bottom panel 1, and the filling piece 3 is provided with a receiving portion for contacting the convex step 21. Since the foldable storage device needs to fold the side panel 2 when not in use, the connection line between the adjacent two side panels 2 and the bottom panel 1 will not be on the same horizontal line to avoid interference during folding, so the convex steps 21 of the adjacent two side panels 2 will not be on the same horizontal line. The filling piece 3 has a first receiving portion 33 and a second receiving portion 34, which are respectively located on the two side edges of the bending structure and receive the adjacent two side panels 2 respectively. Since the convex steps 21 of the adjacent two side panels 2 are of different heights, the first receiving portion 33 and the second receiving portion 34 are of different heights. The convex step 21 forms a convex angle 22 at the side edge of the side panel 2, and the filling piece 3 is provided with an avoidance groove 35 for avoiding the convex angle 22 when the side panel 2 is in a folded state.

[0032] The side plate 2 includes a front panel 4, a decorative panel 5 is provided on the front panel 4, the decorative panel 5 and the front panel 4 are snap-connected, a handle 6 is snap-connected to the front panel 4, and the decorative panel 5 is provided with an avoidance hole 51 for avoiding the handle 6. In specific applications, the front panel 4 is provided with a snap projection 41, the decorative panel 5 is provided with a card slot 521 that cooperates with the snap projection 41, the snap projection 41 is provided at the top of the front panel 4, the top of the decorative panel 5 has a bent portion 52, and the card slot 521 is provided in the bent portion 52. During installation, the bent portion 52 covers the top of the front panel 4, and the snap projection 41 is snapped into the card slot 521. The lower part of the decorative panel 5 and the front panel 4 are snap-connected.

[0033] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation manners. This description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and, without departing from the gist of the present invention creation, design similar structural manners and embodiments to this technical solution without creative efforts, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
