Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of packaging boxes, in particular to a foldable shoe box cabinet. Background Art
[0002] Shoebox cabinets are used to store shoes. Most existing shoebox cabinets are integrally formed. When not in use, they are fixed in size and cannot be folded or retracted, so they take up a lot of space and are inconvenient to carry and transport. To facilitate the storage of shoeboxes, some foldable shoeboxes have emerged. For example, Chinese patent application number 202220136330.3 discloses a detachable storage cabinet that folds the front, back, left, and right panels to achieve the folding of the entire cabinet.
[0003] Since there are many types of shoes currently, some shoes are long, such as long boots, so the required shoe box cabinet has a high enough height to accommodate such shoes, that is, the width of the front, back, left and right panels of the shoe box cabinet is large, and the width of the front panel and the rear panel will exceed half of the width of the bottom panel, so the front panel and the rear panel may collide with each other when folding, making it difficult to fold well. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, a foldable shoe box cabinet is provided which can avoid collision between a front panel and a rear panel.
[0005] The utility model adopts the following technical scheme to be implemented: a foldable shoe box cabinet, including several shoe cabinet units, each shoe cabinet unit is composed of a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel and two side panels, the lower ends of the front panel, the back panel and the two side panels are hinged to the bottom panel, at least one of the side panels includes an upper side panel and a lower side panel, the upper and lower ends of the upper side panel are hinged to the top panel and the lower side panel respectively; the widths of the back panel and the front panel are both greater than half of the width of the bottom panel, the hinges of the back panel and the front panel and the bottom panel are at the same horizontal height, the back panel includes a back panel body and a hinge part hinged to the bottom panel, the back panel body is located at the rear side of the hinge part and is connected to the hinge part, and an avoidance space extending in the front and rear directions is formed between the back panel body and the hinge part; when the back panel and the front panel are flipped and folded, the back panel body covers the front panel.
[0006] During the actual folding process, the user first flips the front panel backward to contact the bottom panel, then flips the back panel forward so that the back panel body covers the front panel, and then folds or flips the side panels so that the side panels can be placed on the back panel to complete the folding of the shoe cabinet unit.
[0007] The upper ends of the front plate and the rear plate are in contact with the top plate, and the contact may be by snap fixation, magnetic fixation, screw fixation, or the like.
[0008] Among them, the side panels are the left and right panels of the shoe cabinet unit. If two shoe cabinet units are arranged adjacent to each other on the left and right, one of the side panels is the middle partition between the two.
[0009] Among them, since the side panels include an upper side panel and a lower side panel, the side panels can fold themselves, so even if the other side panel of the two side panels cannot fold itself, it can be ensured that the two side panels will not collide when folding.
[0010] This solution divides the rear panel into a rear body and a hinged portion, and there is a front-to-back position difference between the rear panel body and the hinged portion, so that an escape space is formed between the rear panel body and the hinged portion. Even if the width of the front panel and the rear panel is greater than half the width of the bottom panel, it can be ensured that the rear panel can cover the front panel after the rear panel is flipped, thereby avoiding the problem of collision between the front panel and the rear panel. Therefore, the height of the shoe cabinet can be set to be larger to meet the storage needs of existing long boots.
[0011] Preferably, the hinge between the rear panel and the bottom panel is closer to the inner side of the shoe cabinet unit than the hinge between the front panel and the bottom panel; the hinge between the side panel and the bottom panel is higher than the hinge between the front panel and the rear panel and the bottom panel.
[0012] The hinge between the rear panel and the bottom panel is closer to the inside of the shoe cabinet unit than the hinge between the front panel and the bottom panel, which can prevent the rear body from being exposed to the outside of the shoe cabinet unit; at the same time, the hinge between the side panel and the bottom panel is higher than the hinge between the front panel and the rear panel and the bottom panel, so that the side panel can be placed on the front panel when folded, avoiding collision between the side panel and the front panel.
[0013] Preferably, a downward extending edge is provided at the circumferential edge of the top plate, the inner wall of the edge is provided with a buckle extending inward, the upper ends of the front plate and the rear plate are provided with a buckle groove that cooperates with the buckle, and the end of the buckle is provided with a first guide slope for facilitating the buckle groove to slide into.
[0014] The front and rear panels are fixed to the top panel by cooperating with the buckle grooves. At the same time, a first guide slope is provided at the end of the buckle to facilitate the buckle grooves to slide into the buckle when the front and rear panels are flipped into an upright state.
[0015] Preferably, a downwardly extending limiting protrusion is provided at the lower end of the top plate near the edge, and a limiting space for limiting the flipping of the front plate and the rear plate is formed between the limiting protrusion and the edge, and the inner side surface of the limiting protrusion forms a second guide slope for facilitating the sliding in of the front plate and the rear plate.
[0016] By setting a limiting protrusion at the lower end of the top plate, the front plate and the rear plate can be clamped after engaging with the buckle, making it difficult for the front plate and the rear plate to flip over. At the same time, this assembly method is relatively simple and convenient for users to disassemble and assemble.
[0017] Preferably, both the front and rear ends of the side panels are provided with abutment buckles extending inward, and both the front panel and the rear panel are provided with abutment holes that are plugged into and fit with the abutment buckles.
[0018] By arranging abutment buckles and abutment holes on the side panels, the front panel and the rear panel can be restricted from further flipping outward, so that the front panel and the rear panel can be in a vertical state. At the same time, the front panel and the rear panel can react to restrict the side panels from further flipping, so that the side panels can also be in a vertical state.
[0019] Preferably, the front panel includes a door frame and a door panel, the door frame is in contact with the side panels and the top panel, the frame of the door frame is provided with an edge extending toward the center of the door frame, and the lower end of the door panel is hinged to the frame of the door frame and the bottom panel; when the door panel is closed, the inner side of the door panel is in contact with the edge, and when the door panel is opened, the door panel can be flipped outward around the hinge.
[0020] In this solution, the front panel is composed of two parts: a door frame and a door panel. The door frame is fixed to the side panels and the top panel (the fixing method can be snap-on, magnetic, etc.), while the door panel is reversible. The edge of the door frame serves to prevent the door panel from turning inward. When the front panel needs to be folded, the fixings between the door frame, the side panels, and the top panel can be removed. At this time, the edge serves to enable the door panel to drive the door frame to turn and fold.
[0021] Preferably, a pull tab extending outward is provided on the outer wall of the door panel, and an elastic expansion head and a stop portion are provided at one end of the pull tab close to the door panel. The elastic expansion head and the stop portion are spaced apart and a card slot is formed therebetween. The door panel is provided with a mating groove that passes through the inside and outside and cooperates with the card slot; the elastic expansion head can be retracted to pass through the mating groove so that the card slot and the mating groove are engaged with each other.
[0022] The pull tab can be used as a handle to facilitate opening the door panel, while the elastic expansion head can be elastically contracted to facilitate assembly and disassembly. The elastic expansion head and the stopper prevent the pull tab from being stuck in the mating groove. Since the elastic expansion head can contract, the user can forcefully pull it out, thereby facilitating the folding of the door panel and door frame and preventing the pull tab from interfering with the folding of the door panel and door frame. The elastic expansion head can be made of a deformable rubber material.
[0023] Preferably, the center sides of the walls of the side panels, front panel and rear panel are all recessed inwards.
[0024] The center sides of the walls of the side panels, front panel and rear panel are all recessed inwards, which has a fool-proof effect, making it easy for users to know that the side panels, front panel and rear panel are all folded inwards.
[0025] Preferably, several of the shoe cabinet units are arranged in the up, down, left and right directions, the bottom plate of the upper shoe cabinet unit serves as the top plate of the lower shoe cabinet unit, and the side plates between the adjacent left and right shoe cabinet units serve as intermediate partition plates. The intermediate partition plates are integrally arranged and have a snap-on structure with the top plate.
[0026] The middle partition and the bottom plate of the upper shoe cabinet unit serve as the top plate of the lower shoe cabinet unit, so that one top plate or bottom plate can act on two shoe cabinet units, and the structure is more compact; at the same time, the middle partition is an integrated plate, rather than being divided into upper and lower side plates, which can play a supporting role when the shoe cabinet unit is built.
[0027] Preferably, a pulley is provided at the lower end of the bottom plate of the lowest layer; the foldable shoe box cabinet also includes a plurality of small shoe cabinet units, and the widths of the front and rear plates of the small shoe cabinet units are both less than or equal to half of the width of the rear plate.
[0028] A pulley is provided at the lower end of the bottom plate of the lowest layer of the foldable shoe cabinet box, making it easy for the user to move the entire foldable shoe cabinet box. The widths of the front and rear plates of the small shoe cabinet unit are both less than or equal to half the width of the rear plate, so that the widths of the front and rear plates are not too large, and the height of the small shoe cabinet unit is not too high, so that some leather shoes, sports shoes, etc. can be placed. The entire foldable shoe cabinet box can accommodate taller shoes such as long boots, as well as shorter shoes such as leather shoes and sports shoes. The other structural shapes of the several small shoe cabinet units are the same as those of the shoe cabinet unit.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. It has a shoe cabinet unit suitable for placing tall shoes such as long-legged shoes, and the front and rear panels of the shoe cabinet cover will not collide when the shoe cabinet unit is folded; 2. It has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and disassemble; 3. It can be moved and has a small shoe cabinet unit that can place shorter shoes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a foldable shoe cabinet box, comprising four small shoe cabinet units 200 and two shoe cabinet units 100; the two small shoe cabinet units 200 are stacked in pairs, and the two shoe cabinet units 100 are arranged side by side and located below the two small shoe cabinet units 200. The volume of the shoe cabinet unit 100 is larger than the volume of the small shoe cabinet units 200. The shoe cabinet units 100 and the small shoe cabinet units 200 each comprise a top panel 1, a bottom panel 2, a front panel 3, a back panel 5, and two side panels 41. The bottom panel 2 of the upper shoe cabinet unit serves as the top panel 1 of the lower shoe cabinet unit, and the side panel 41 between the two adjacent (small) shoe cabinet units on the left and right serves as an intermediate partition panel 42.
[0044] The difference between the small shoe cabinet unit 200 and the shoe cabinet unit 100 is that the widths of the side panels 41, the middle partition panel 42, the front panel 3, and the rear panel 5 of the small shoe cabinet unit 200 are all less than or equal to half the width of the bottom panel 2. The widths of the side panels 41, the middle partition panel 42, the front panel 3, and the rear panel 5 of the shoe cabinet unit 100 are all greater than half the width of the bottom panel 2.
[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, pulleys 9 are provided on the four corners of the lower end of the bottom plate of the lowermost layer of the foldable shoe cabinet box.
[0046] like Figure 1 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the bottoms of the front panel 3, rear panel 5, side panels 41, and intermediate partition 42 are all hingedly connected to the bottom panel 2. The hinge points of the front panel 3 and rear panel 5 to the bottom panel 2 are lower than the hinge points of the side panels 41 and intermediate partition 42 to the bottom panel 2. The hinge connection method is achieved by rotating a conventional hinge shaft within a laterally open hinge slot. The walls of the front panel 3, rear panel 5, and side panels 41 are all recessed inward, forming a stepped shape.
[0047] like Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the hinged joints of the front panel 3 and the rear panel 5 of the shoe cabinet unit 100 with the bottom panel 2 are at the same level. The hinged joint of the rear panel 5 with the bottom panel 2 is closer to the inside of the shoe cabinet unit 100 than the hinged joint of the front panel 3 with the bottom panel. The rear panel 5 includes a rear panel body 51 and a hinged portion 52 hingedly connected to the bottom panel 2. The rear panel body 51 is located behind the hinged portion 52 and is connected to the bottom panel 2 via a connecting portion 53 having a right-angled triangle shape in vertical cross-section. A clearance space extending in the front-to-back direction is formed between the rear panel body 51 and the hinged portion 52. When the rear panel body 51 is flipped and folded, the clearance space extending in the front-to-back direction is converted into a clearance space extending in the up-down direction. When the rear panel 5 and the front panel 3 are flipped and folded, the rear panel body 51 covers the front panel 3.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the front panel 3 serves as the opening and closing part of the shoe cabinet unit 200 and the small shoe cabinet unit 100. The front panel 3 includes a door frame 31 and a door panel 32. The door frame 31 is composed of three side frames and is in a "冂" shape. The side frames of the door frame abut against the side plate 41 and the middle spacer plate 42. An edge 311 extending towards the center of the door frame is provided on each side frame of the door frame 31, and the edge 311 is located on the part of the side frame close to the inner side. An inner door frame hinge hole 312 is provided on the inner bottom of the side frame of the door frame 31, and a bottom plate hinge joint 321 is provided on the bottom plate. The two sides and the middle part of the lower end of the door panel 32 are respectively hinged to the door frame hinge hole 312 and the bottom plate hinge joint 321. When the door panel 32 is closed, the inner side surface of the door panel 32 abuts against the edge 311. When the door panel 32 is opened, the door panel can be turned outwards around the door frame hinge hole 312 and the bottom plate hinge joint 321.
[0049] As Figure 1 and Figure 7 shown, a pull tongue 7 extending outwards is arranged on the outer wall of the upper end of the door panel 32. The pull tongue 7 is overall flat. An elastic expansion head 73 and a resisting part 71 are provided at one end of the pull tongue 7 close to the door panel 32. The elastic expansion head 73 and the resisting part 71 are arranged at intervals and a clamping groove 72 is formed between them. The door panel 32 is provided with a through-hole inside and outside and a mating groove (not shown in the figure) that mates with the clamping groove; the elastic expansion head 73 is overall conical and is made of a soft rubber material, and can contract and pass through the mating groove so that the clamping groove 72 and the mating groove are clamped and mated.
[0050] As Figure 5 、[[ID=1十三]] Figure 6 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, the side plate 41 includes an upper side plate 411 and a lower side plate 412 of the same size. The lower end of the upper side plate 411 is hinged to the lower side plate 412, and the upper end of the upper side plate 411 is hinged to the top plate 1. A snap connection structure is provided between the upper ends of the middle spacer plate 42, the front plate 3 (door frame 31) and the rear plate 5 and the top plate 1. A wrapping edge 11 extending downwards is provided at the circumferential edge of the top plate 1, and a snap 61 extending inwards is provided on the inner wall of the wrapping edge 11. Snap grooves 8 that mate with the snap 61 are provided at the upper ends of the front plate 3, the rear plate 5 and the middle spacer plate 42. A first guiding inclined surface 611 facilitating the sliding of the snap groove 8 is provided at the end of the snap 61. A limiting protrusion 62 extending downwards is provided at the lower end of the top plate 1 close to the wrapping edge 11. A limiting space restricting the flipping of the front plate 3, the rear plate 5 and the middle spacer plate 42 is formed between the limiting protrusion 62 and the wrapping edge 11, and a second guiding inclined surface 621 facilitating the sliding of the front plate 3, the rear plate 5 and the middle spacer plate 42 is formed on the inner side surface of the limiting protrusion 62.
[0051] As Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, both the front and rear ends of the side panels 41 and the middle partition panel 42 are provided with abutment buckles 413 extending inward, and both the front panel 3 (door frame 31 ) and the rear panel 5 are provided with abutment holes that are plugged into and fit with the abutment buckles 413 .
[0052] When folding the shoe cabinet unit 100, the tab 7 is first removed, and then the door frame 31 of the front panel 3 is separated from the buckle 61, the limiting protrusion 62, and the abutting buckle 413. Then, the entire front panel 3 (door frame 31 and door panel 32) is flipped inward to contact the bottom panel 2. Then, the rear panel 5 is separated from the buckle 61, the limiting protrusion 62, and the abutting buckle 413, and the rear panel 5 is flipped inward so that the rear panel 5 covers the front panel 3. Then, the middle partition panel 42 is separated from the buckle 61 and the limiting protrusion 62, and the middle partition panel 42 is flipped inward to overlap the rear panel 5. Then, the left and right side panels 41 are folded simultaneously so that the side panels 41 overlap the rear panel 5, completing the folding of the shoe cabinet unit 100.
[0053] When the small shoe cabinet unit 100 is folded, the principle is the same as that of the shoe cabinet unit 100 , with the only difference being that the front panel 3 and the rear panel 5 are not in contact after being turned over.
