[0002] A storage box is a box for storing things, that is, to collect and gather things (mostly small items, such as office stationery, cosmetics, documents, small tools, socks, underwear, etc.).
[0003] Most existing storage boxes are either with or without lids. They have a single opening method, are not aesthetically pleasing, and cannot be stored together in a concentrated manner, resulting in unsatisfactory usage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model provides a support mechanism and a flip-down storage box to solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a support mechanism, including a mounting plate, wherein a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod located below the first connecting rod are movably arranged on one side of the mounting plate, and the ends of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod away from the mounting plate are hinged to a door panel mounting component.
[0006] Furthermore, the connecting rod is L-shaped.
[0007] Furthermore, one end of the connecting rod is provided with an arc-shaped positioning notch.
[0008] Furthermore, the first connecting rod is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting plate via the first rotating shaft, and the second connecting rod is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting plate via the second rotating shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a gas spring, one end of which is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting plate via a pivot three, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of a connecting rod one via a pivot four.
[0010] Furthermore, a decorative cover is provided on one side of the mounting plate.
[0011] A flip-down storage box includes a support mechanism and a storage box assembly. The storage box assembly includes a storage cabinet, a door panel, and several storage box bodies disposed on one side of the door panel.
[0012] Furthermore, mounting plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the storage cabinet, and one side of the door panel mounting component is fixedly connected to one side of the door panel.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-11 This utility model discloses a support mechanism, including a mounting plate 1. A connecting rod 11 and a connecting rod 2 12 located below the connecting rod 11 are movably arranged on one side of the mounting plate 1. The ends of the connecting rod 11 and the connecting rod 2 12 away from the mounting plate 1 are hinged to a door panel mounting component 13.
[0031] Specifically, the connecting rod 11 is L-shaped.
[0032] Specifically, one end of the connecting rod 11 is provided with an arc-shaped positioning notch 111. The design of the arc-shaped positioning notch 111 is described in [reference needed]. Figure 4 and Figure 10 When the door panel 22 is opened, one end of the second connecting rod 12 is inserted into the arc-shaped positioning notch 111, ensuring the stability of the first connecting rod 11 and the second connecting rod 12, and ensuring the stability of the door panel 22 in the open state.
[0033] Specifically, the first connecting rod 11 is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting plate 1 via the first rotating shaft 15, and the second connecting rod 12 is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting plate 1 via the second rotating shaft 16. It also includes a gas spring 14, one end of which is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting plate 1 via the third rotating shaft 17, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 11 via the fourth rotating shaft 18. (See reference...) Figure 10 When the user pulls the door panel 22 to open it, the gas spring 14 slowly compresses until the first pivot 15, the third pivot 17, and the fourth pivot 18 are aligned in a straight line, thus ensuring the door panel 22 maintains the optimal opening angle and making it convenient for the user to access the items inside the storage box body 23. (See reference...) Figure 11When the door panel 22 is closed, the gas spring 14 slowly extends, causing the ends of the connecting rod 11 and the connecting rod 22 connected to the door panel mounting part 13 to flip down until the door panel 22 and the storage cabinet 21 are completely closed. The gas spring 14 will press against the connecting rod 11, so that the door panel 22 remains closed and prevents the door panel 22 from opening freely.
[0034] Specifically, a decorative cover 19 is also provided on one side of the mounting plate 1. The decorative cover 19, together with the mounting plate 1, hides the first connecting rod 11, the second connecting rod 12 and the gas spring 14, making the overall appearance of the product more beautiful and simple.
[0035] A flip-down storage box includes a flip-down storage box support mechanism and a storage box assembly 2. The storage box assembly 2 includes a storage cabinet 21, a door panel 22, and a plurality of storage box bodies 23 disposed on one side of the door panel 22.
[0036] Specifically, mounting plates 1 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the storage cabinet 21. One side of the door panel mounting component 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the door panel 22. The mounting plates 1 are fixed to the inner walls of both sides of the storage cabinet 21 by screws. The two mounting plates 1 effectively support the door panel 22 and ensure the stability of the door panel 22.
[0037] Specifically, one side of the door panel 22 is provided with several storage box fixing parts 24, and one side of the storage box body 23 is provided with a slot 25 that engages with the storage box fixing parts 24. One side of the storage box fixing parts 24 is also provided with an inverted protrusion 26, and one side of the storage box body 23 is provided with an inverted hole 27 that engages with the inverted protrusion 26. The storage box fixing parts 24 are fixed to one side of the door panel 22 with screws. The storage box fixing parts 24 are U-shaped, and each storage box body 23 has two slots 25, which respectively match the two ends of the U-shaped storage box fixing parts 24 for installing the storage boxes. When the main body 23 is in place, the two slots 25 are aligned with the two ends of the storage box fixing part 24 and inserted. One end of the inverted protrusion 26 abuts against one side wall of the storage box main body 23. Both the inverted protrusion 26 and the storage box main body 23 are made of plastic, and the material itself has a certain toughness. As the storage box main body 23 moves, when the inverted hole 27 is opposite to the inverted protrusion 26, the inverted protrusion 26 snaps into the inside of the inverted hole 27, ensuring the stability of the storage box main body 23 installed on one side of the door panel 22. A handle is also provided in the middle of the side of the door panel 22 away from the storage box main body 23, which makes it convenient for the user to open the door panel 22.
[0038] In summary, this support mechanism and the flip-down storage box can store multiple storage box bodies 23 through the storage cabinet 21. By setting up connecting rod 11, connecting rod 22 and gas spring 14, the storage box body 23 can be taken out from the inside of the storage cabinet 21 by flipping down. The opening method is novel, and each storage box body 23 can be removed independently from the door panel 22, making it more convenient to use. The gas spring 14 can buffer the opening and closing process of the door panel 22, and at the same time support the stability of the door panel 22 in the closed state, meeting the user's needs.
[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
