Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of item storage technology, specifically to a storage box. Background Technology

[0002] In the catering industry, packaged tissues are placed in storage boxes. The top of the storage box has a retrieval opening. Users can take out individual tissues from the top layer through the retrieval opening. The top tissues pull out parts of the tissues from the adjacent layers, making it convenient for users to take them next time. As the tissues are used, the overall thickness of the tissues becomes thinner. To make it easier for users to take them out, the existing storage boxes have a spring at the bottom. The deformation of the spring keeps the tissues near the retrieval opening.

[0003] However, in actual use, since the initial deformation of the spring is fixed, when the size of the storage box is fixed, the top cover of the storage box may not be able to close or the tissue may not be able to reach the area near the opening due to the thickness or weight of the tissue, which will cause inconvenience to the user. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defect that the storage box is not compatible with tissues of different thicknesses or weights, thus affecting the user experience.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a storage box, including a box body for containing items, and a lifting mechanism is provided in the box body. The lifting mechanism is used to move the contained items in the height direction of the box body. The lifting mechanism includes an elastic element and multiple mounting areas. The elastic element is set in different mounting areas to adjust the initial elastic deformation of the elastic element in the lifting mechanism.

[0006] In one optional embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes two opposing supports, each of which has multiple mounting areas. The two ends of the elastic element are movably connected to the two supports, so that the supports can move in the height direction of the box. The distance between corresponding mounting areas on the two supports is different.

[0007] In one optional embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes at least one bracket with multiple mounting areas. The two ends of the elastic member are respectively connected between the bracket and the bottom of the box, so that the bracket can move in the height direction of the box, wherein the distance between the mounting areas and the bottom is different.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the mounting area is provided with a limiting area to prevent the elastic element from moving.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the limiting region is configured as a groove-like structure or a snap-fit ​​structure so that the elastic element is snapped into the limiting region.

[0010] In one optional embodiment, a first limiting part is provided on the side wall or bottom of the box body, the first limiting part being used to limit the highest position of the lifting mechanism in the height direction of the box body.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, a second limiting part is provided on the side wall or bottom of the box body, the second limiting part being used to limit the lowest position of the lifting mechanism in the height direction of the box body.

[0012] In one alternative embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a support that is disposed on the side wall of the housing.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the side wall or bottom of the box is provided with multiple support points, and one end of the bracket is connected to one of the support points.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0026] In daily life, to facilitate the retrieval of tissues placed in storage boxes, a spring is usually installed at the bottom of the box. The tissues are placed on the spring, and the deformation of the spring keeps the tissues near the retrieval opening for easy access. However, in practical applications, since the initial deformation of the spring in the storage box is fixed, if the size of the storage box is fixed, situations may arise where the lid of the storage box cannot close or the tissues cannot reach the retrieval opening due to the thickness or weight of the tissues, causing inconvenience to the user.

[0027] In view of this, this application provides a storage box, which includes a box body for containing items. A lifting mechanism is provided inside the box body. The lifting mechanism is used to move the contained items in the height direction of the box body. The lifting mechanism includes an elastic element and multiple mounting areas. The elastic element is located in different mounting areas to adjust the initial elastic deformation of the elastic element in the lifting mechanism.

[0028] The distance an item placed in the storage box can move vertically within the box is related to the initial elastic deformation of the elastic component. On one hand, for the same item, a larger initial elastic deformation results in a greater movement distance, while a smaller initial elastic deformation results in a smaller movement distance. The appropriate initial elastic deformation of the elastic component can be selected based on actual needs. On the other hand, elastic components may age over time, and if their initial elastic deformation decreases, a new initial elastic deformation can be obtained by adjusting the installation area of ​​the elastic component.

[0029] Furthermore, there are various ways to adjust the initial elastic deformation of the elastic element in the lifting mechanism. In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism includes a support, and the elastic element is mounted on the support. The initial elastic deformation of the elastic element can be adjusted by changing its position on the support. The position of the elastic element on the support can be positioned using different mounting areas on the support. Additionally, to prevent the elastic element from moving within the mounting areas, limiting areas can be provided on the mounting areas to restrict its automatic displacement during use of the storage box. For example, the limiting area can be a groove-like structure to hold the elastic element in place, or a locking structure to hold the elastic element in place. In other embodiments, the position of the support within the box can be adjusted, thereby changing the initial elastic deformation of the elastic element mounted on the support. The position of the support within the box can be adjusted by providing multiple fulcrums on the box.

[0030] In some embodiments, the box body is provided with a top cover, and the top cover has an opening for the user to access items placed inside the box body, such as tissues. Additionally, the box body can be made of any geometric shape, such as square, circle, ellipse, irregular polygon, etc., which will not be elaborated further here.

[0031] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism is located at the bottom of the box. In other embodiments, the lifting mechanism is located on the side wall of the box to release the space between the bottom of the box and the top cover. The lifting mechanism may be fixedly located at the bottom or side wall of the box, or it may be movably located at the bottom or side wall of the box for easy disassembly.

[0032] The lifting mechanism includes an elastic element, which in some embodiments is a spring, elastic band, or rubber band, etc. In practical applications, the design can be customized according to the structure of the lifting mechanism and user requirements.

[0033] The storage box of this application sets multiple installation areas in the storage box and sets elastic elements in different installation areas to adjust the initial elastic deformation of the elastic elements. This allows the appropriate initial elastic deformation of the elastic elements to be set according to the different thicknesses or weights of paper towels, so as to solve the problem of incompatibility between the storage box and paper towels of different thicknesses or weights, which affects the user experience.

[0034] The range of movement of an item in the height direction of the box is related to the installation position of the lifting mechanism, the elastic deformation of the elastic element, and the weight of the item. To further limit the highest and lowest positions of the item in the height direction of the box, i.e., to limit the range of movement of the lifting mechanism, in some embodiments, a first limiting part is provided on the side wall or bottom of the box to limit the highest position of the lifting mechanism in the height direction of the box. In other embodiments, a second limiting part is provided on the side wall or bottom of the box to limit the lowest position of the lifting mechanism in the height direction of the box. The first and second limiting parts are, for example, limiting strips provided on the side wall of the box or baffles on the bottom of the box, used to limit the movement distance of the support in the lifting mechanism.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the storage box provided in the embodiments of this application from one perspective. Figure 2 for Figure 1The diagram shows a three-dimensional view of the storage box from another perspective. Note that the top cover of the storage box is not shown for ease of description. As shown, the storage box 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 2 includes two opposing supports 21, each with a mounting area 23. In this example, each support 21 has a first mounting area 231 and a second mounting area 232. The distance between the first mounting areas 231 is greater than the distance between the second mounting areas 232. The elastic element 22 is an elastic band fitted onto the mounting areas 23. In use, the elastic element 22 can be placed on either the first mounting area 231 or the second mounting area 232. Items (not shown) are placed on the plane formed by the two supports 21, parallel to the bottom of the box. In addition, to prevent the elastic element 22 from shifting, limiting regions 24 are provided in both the first mounting area 231 and the second mounting area 232 to prevent the elastic element 22 from moving. In this example, the limiting region 24 is a groove-shaped structure, and the elastic element 22 is snapped into the limiting region 24. Furthermore, a first limiting part 11 is provided on the side wall of the storage box 1, and a second limiting part 12 is provided on the bottom of the storage box 1 to limit the movement distance of the bracket 21 in the height direction within the storage box 1. Four support points 13 are also provided on the side wall of the storage box 1, and the bracket 21 can be selectively installed on the corresponding support points 13.

[0036] In use, a suitable fulcrum 13 can be selected to install the bracket 21 based on the thickness or weight of the item and the elastic deformation of the elastic element, and a suitable installation area 23 can be selected to install the elastic element 22. For example, the bracket 21 can be installed... Figure 1 The elastic element 22 is installed in the limiting region 24 on the first region 231 at two adjacent support points 13. Alternatively, the elastic element 22 is installed in the limiting region 24 on the second region 232, or the bracket 21 is installed on two support points 13 that are far apart. By using different installation combinations, the initial elastic deformation of the elastic element 22 in the lifting mechanism 2 can be changed, thereby achieving the adaptation between the storage box and paper towels of different thicknesses or weights.

[0037] It should be noted that this example shows the bracket 21 being installed on the side wall of the storage box 1. In another embodiment, the bracket 21 may also be installed at the bottom of the storage box 1. The elastic element 22 may be a spring or a rubber band. The installation area and the position and number of fulcrums may also be set according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3The figure shows a three-dimensional structural diagram of a storage box provided in another embodiment of this application. The storage box 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 2 includes at least one support 21, with multiple mounting areas on the support. In this example, the lifting mechanism 2 includes two opposing supports 21, each with a first mounting area 231 and a second mounting area 232. The distance from the first mounting area 231 to the bottom of the box is greater than the distance from the second mounting area 232 to the bottom of the box. An elastic element 22 is a spring connecting the support and the bottom of the box. Mounting elements (not shown) for fixing the elastic element 22 can be provided at corresponding positions on the bottom of the box. In use, the elastic element 22 can be placed in the first mounting area 231 or the second mounting area 232, and the item (not shown) can be placed on the plane formed by the two supports 21, parallel to the bottom of the box. In addition, to prevent the elastic element 22 from shifting, limiting areas (not shown) are provided in both the first mounting area 231 and the second mounting area 232 to prevent the elastic element 22 from moving. In this example, the limiting area is set as a locking structure (not shown), for example, a hole into which one end of the spring can be inserted, and the elastic element 22 is inserted into the hole to prevent the elastic element 22 from moving independently. Furthermore, a first limiting part 11 is provided on the side wall of the storage box 1, and a second limiting part 12 is provided on the bottom of the storage box 1 to limit the movement distance of the bracket 21 in the height direction within the storage box 1. Four support points 13 are also provided on the side wall of the storage box, and the bracket 21 can be selectively mounted on the corresponding support points 13.

[0039] In use, a suitable fulcrum 13 can be selected to install the bracket 21 based on the thickness or weight of the item and the elastic deformation of the elastic element, and a suitable installation area can be selected to install the elastic element 22. For example, the bracket 21 can be installed... Figure 3 The elastic element 22 is installed in the limiting region of the first region 231 on two adjacent support points 13. Alternatively, the elastic element 22 is installed in the limiting region of the second region 232, or the bracket 21 is installed on two support points 13 that are far apart. By using different installation combinations, the initial elastic deformation of the elastic element 22 in the lifting mechanism 2 can be changed, thereby achieving the adaptation between the storage box and paper towels of different thicknesses or weights.

[0040] It should be noted that this example shows the bracket 21 being installed on the side wall of the storage box 1. In another embodiment, the bracket 21 can also be installed at the bottom of the storage box 1. The installation area, the position and number of the support points, etc., can also be set according to actual needs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
