DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be explained as a limitation of the present application.
[0031] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 , the present application provides a storage box, which comprises a shell 1, a box body 2, a locking member 3 and an unlocking member 4, wherein:
[0032] The shell 1 has an accommodating cavity 11, and the accommodating cavity 11 is formed with an opening 12 on the surface of the shell 1.
[0033] The box body 2 can be at least partially accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11 through the opening 12, and the box body 2 can move along a first preset path, the starting end of the first preset path is the position of the box body 2 when part of the box body 2 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11 and part of the box body 2 is located outside the shell 1, and the end of the first preset path is the position of the box body 2 when the box body 2 is completely accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11.
[0034] The locking member 3 is used to lock the box body 2 and the shell 1 when the box body 2 is at the end of the first preset path, and the locking member 3 is movable along a second preset path. When the locking member 3 is at the starting end of the second preset path, the locking state of the box body 2 and the shell 1 is released. When the locking member 3 is at the end of the second preset path, the box body 2 is at the end of the first preset path, and the locking member 3 completely locks the box body 2 in the accommodating cavity 11 of the shell 1.
[0035] The unlocking member 4 is used to release the locking state of the box body 2 and the shell 1. The unlocking member 4 is linked with the locking member 3, and the unlocking member 4 is movable along a third preset path. When the unlocking member 4 moves along the third preset path, the locking member 3 is driven to move toward the starting end of the second preset path, the locking state of the box body 2 and the shell 1 is released, and then the box body 2 can move toward the starting end of the first preset path, so as to realize the opening of the storage box. Compared with the prior art, the user can realize the opening of the storage box through the unlocking member 4, which is easy to identify and easy to operate, and the perceptual quality during use is improved.
[0036] In the embodiments provided in the present application, referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The locking member 3 includes a locking portion 31 and a locking matching portion 32. The locking portion 31 is linked with the unlocking member 4, and the locking portion 31 is movable along the second preset path. When the locking portion 31 is at the end of the second preset path, the locking portion 31 and the locking matching portion 32 form a locking matching. Preferably, the locking portion 31 is a hook, the hook is linked with the unlocking member 4, and the locking matching portion 32 is a boss which can be buckled with the hook. When the box body 2 is completely accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11, the hook is buckled with the boss to lock the box body 2 in the accommodating cavity 11. When the storage box needs to be opened, the unlocking member 4 is driven to move along the third preset path, the hook is driven to move toward the starting end of the second preset path, the hook is separated from the boss, the buckling connection between the hook and the boss is released, and then the locking state of the box body 2 and the shell 1 is released.
[0037] In a possible implementation, the locking portion 31 and the unlocking member 4 can be linked in a rotating connection mode. When the unlocking member 4 moves, the locking portion 31 rotates to approach or move away from the locking matching portion 32, so as to realize the locking matching or the locking release of the locking matching portion 32.
[0038] In other implementations, the locking portion 31 and the unlocking member 4 can be linked in a sliding connection mode, an electromagnetic iron and a mechanical structure matching mode, or the like. The actual requirements can be selected and set, which are not limited herein.
[0039] After the locking matching of the locking portion 31 and the locking matching portion 32 is released, in order to make the box body 2 move out of the accommodating cavity 11 smoothly, in the embodiments provided in the present application, referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, Figure 1As shown, the storage box further comprises a driving member 5, when the unlocking member 4 releases the locking of the locking member 3 to the shell 1 and the box body 2, the driving member 5 can drive the box body 2 to move to the starting end of the first preset path, so as to facilitate the subsequent operation of the user and improve the user experience.
[0040] In an available embodiment, the driving member 5 comprises an elastic member, one end of the elastic member is fixed in the accommodating cavity 11, and the other end of the elastic member is connected with the box body 2. During the movement of the box body 2 to the end of the first preset path, the elastic member is elastically deformed by the action force of the box body 2 to continuously accumulate the elastic action force. When the locking cooperation of the locking portion 31 and the locking cooperation portion 32 is released, the elastic member applies the accumulated elastic action force to the box body 2 to drive the box body 2 to move to the starting end of the first preset path, so that the box body 2 can be automatically moved out of the accommodating cavity 11 for the subsequent operation of the user.
[0041] Preferably, the elastic member is a coil spring, one end of the coil spring is fixed in the accommodating cavity 11, and the other end of the coil spring is connected with the box body 2. When the box body 2 moves to the end of the first preset path, the coil spring accumulates the elastic action force under the action force. After the box body 2 is unlocked with the shell 1, the coil spring applies the elastic action force to the box body 2 to make the box body 2 move to the starting end of the first preset path until the coil spring completely releases the elastic action force.
[0042] In other embodiments, the elastic member can be selected from other structures or components capable of accumulating the elastic action force and applying the elastic action force to the box body 2, which is not limited herein.
[0043] During the movement of the box body 2 to the starting end of the first preset path under the action of the driving member 5, in order to avoid the box body 2 from being taken out of the accommodating cavity 11, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the storage box further comprises a limiting member 6, which is used to limit the disengagement of the box body 2 from the shell 1 during the movement of the box body 2 to the starting end of the first preset path. In the embodiments provided by the present application, the limiting member 6 comprises a limiting portion 61 and a limiting cooperation portion 62. The limiting portion 61 is arranged on the box body 2, and the limiting cooperation portion 62 is arranged on the side wall of the shell 1. When the box body 2 moves to the starting end of the first preset path, part of the box body 2 is still accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11. At this time, the limiting portion 61 and the limiting cooperation portion 62 form a limiting cooperation, so that the box body 2 will not be separated from the shell 1 during the subsequent operation of the user.
[0044] In an embodiment, the limiting part 61 is a limiting block fixed to the box body 2, and the limiting matching part 62 is a limiting groove arranged on the shell 1. The limiting groove extends along the length direction of the shell 1. When the box body 2 moves along the first preset path, the limiting block can move in the limiting groove. When the box body 2 moves to the starting end of the first preset path, the limiting block abuts against one end of the limiting groove close to the opening 12 of the shell 1, so as to limit the box body 2 from continuously moving away from the accommodating cavity 11.
[0045] In order to prevent the limiting part 61 and the limiting matching part 62 from colliding and damaging the storage box during the movement of the box body 2 to the starting end of the first preset path, a buffer 7 is arranged on the limiting matching part 62, as shown in Figure 5 The buffer 7 is arranged on one end of the limiting matching part 62 close to the starting end of the first preset path. When the box body 2 moves to the starting end of the first preset path, the buffer 7 can buffer the collision between the limiting part 61 and the limiting matching part 62, so as to reduce the damage to the storage box. Preferably, the buffer 7 is an EPDM buffer block (a buffer material made of ethylene propylene diene rubber). The EPDM buffer block has excellent elasticity and wear resistance, and can absorb the energy generated by the collision between the limiting part 61 and the limiting matching part 62, so as to achieve buffering. The buffer 7 can also be other structures or objects that can absorb the energy generated by the collision between the limiting part 61 and the limiting matching part 62, which is not limited herein.
[0046] In order to improve the stability of the movement of the box body 2 in the accommodating cavity 11 during the reciprocating movement of the box body 2 along the first preset path, so as to make the opening and closing of the storage box more smooth, in the embodiments provided by the present application, a guide 8 is further arranged in the storage box, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The guide 8 is used to guide the movement of the box body 2 along the first preset path. The guide 8 includes a guide part 81 and a guide matching part 82. The guide part 81 is arranged on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and the guide matching part 82 is arranged on the bottom of the box body 2 and faces the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11. When the box body 2 moves along the first preset path, the guide part 81 and the guide matching part 82 form a guide matching, so that the box body 2 can always move reciprocatingly on the first preset path.
[0047] In an embodiment, the guide part 81 is a guide rail, and the guide matching part 82 is a sliding block. When the box body 2 moves along the first preset path, the sliding block can move along the guide rail, so that the box body 2 can always stably move on the first preset path, and the position deviation of the box body 2 during the movement can be avoided. Preferably, the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is provided with two parallel guide rails, and the bottom of the box body 2 is provided with two sliding blocks corresponding to the two guide rails, so as to further improve the stability of the movement of the box body 2.
[0048] In other embodiments, the guide portion 81 and the guide cooperating portion 82 can adopt other structures or components capable of achieving guide cooperation, which are not limited herein.
[0049] The above describes the structure, features and effects of the present application according to the embodiments shown in the drawings, and the above is only the preferred embodiments of the present application, but the present application is not limited by the drawings, any changes or modifications made according to the concept of the present application, or equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, as long as they are within the scope of the present application.
