Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to a folding storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Existing storage boxes mostly adopt a fixed structure design, primarily used for storing and moving items, but they have many shortcomings in actual use. Traditional storage boxes typically have a single open space inside, lacking partition design, making it difficult to classify and store different types of items, especially small items, which can easily become cluttered when stacked. In addition, the single-space structure has low utilization rate when storing large items, failing to meet users' needs for efficient storage.

[0003] Some storage boxes are designed with folding functionality to reduce space usage when not in use. However, existing folding storage boxes typically only support simple folding of the entire box, lacking quick disassembly capabilities. Furthermore, they still occupy a significant amount of space when folded, making them inconvenient for storage and relocation. In addition, the installation process for these storage boxes is relatively complex and cumbersome, resulting in a poor user experience and limiting their widespread application.

[0004] In terms of accessing items, most existing storage boxes use a top-opening design, requiring users to rummage through the top or stack items, making it extremely inconvenient to retrieve items from the bottom. Some improved designs have attempted to incorporate side-opening functionality, but these usually cannot be flexibly combined with the top-opening design, failing to meet users' needs for multi-directional access.

[0005] With the increasing demand for storage boxes that are space-saving when not in use, detachable storage boxes have emerged in the market. For example, a detachable storage box, patent publication number CN 218199361 U, describes a box that "includes a box body assembled from a bottom plate, a top plate, and four sets of side panels. The connection points of the bottom plate, top plate, and four sets of side panels are equipped with convenient and stable assembly components, including a connector plate, a slot, a rod, and a spring. This utility model belongs to the field of storage box technology, specifically referring to a detachable storage box that is easy to assemble and disassemble, simplifies the assembly process, and provides a relatively stable installation." While the above structure can achieve the storage of items and can be disassembled for storage when not in use, reducing space occupation, the above device requires... Assembling the unit by installing each panel one by one using stabilizing components is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the stabilizing components detach from the panel after disassembly, making them prone to loss during storage. Additionally, installation requires tools, making disassembly and assembly inconvenient when tools are unavailable, and the installation process is cumbersome and complex. Moreover, the cabinet is not easily movable and has only one openable door, hindering the creation of multi-directional doors for convenient storage of items. Furthermore, the internal storage space lacks flexibility to accommodate items of different sizes.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, we provide a foldable storage box that can be folded away when not in use to reduce the space occupied by the box components, is simple and convenient to assemble, has multi-directional opening and closing, and allows for flexible changes in the internal storage space. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a foldable storage box.

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a folding storage box includes a box body, with universal wheels at the bottom of the box body, and a box cover at the top of the box body. The box cover and the box body are detachably connected. A partition mechanism is provided in the lower part of the box cover. The partition mechanism includes multiple partitions that are distributed vertically. A connecting plate one and a connecting plate two are provided between adjacent partitions. The connecting plate one and the connecting plate two are rotatably connected. The upper end of the connecting plate one is rotatably connected to the box cover, and the lower end of the connecting plate two is rotatably connected to the partition.

[0009] Furthermore, a connector is provided between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, with the upper and lower ends of the connector being rotatably connected to the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the partition can be moved up and down and stored under the lid.

[0011] Furthermore, a threaded rod is rotatably provided in the middle of the box cover, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the box cover. The lower part of the threaded rod passes through the partition, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the partition.

[0012] Furthermore, the housing includes a base, and a left side plate, a right side plate, a front side plate, and a rear side plate are arranged around the top of the base. The front side plate, rear side plate, left side plate, and right side plate can be folded and placed sequentially towards the center of the base.

[0013] Furthermore, the left side plate, right side plate, front side plate, and rear side plate are rotatably connected to the base.

[0014] Furthermore, the left side plate, right side plate, front side plate, and rear side plate are detachably connected to each other.

[0015] Furthermore, the front panel is provided with an openable and closable door.

[0016] Furthermore, a limiting plate is rotatably provided on the outer surface of the left and right side plates respectively, and a locking plate is fixedly provided on the inner side of the limiting plate. The outer side of the locking plate protrudes upward. A locking plate is fixedly provided on the left and right sides of the cover plate respectively. A locking plate groove is opened on the inner side of the upper surface of the locking plate. The outer side of the locking plate protrudes upward and is located in the locking plate groove, which can move up and down to realize the connection between the cover plate and the left and right side plates.

[0017] In use, this invention allows for the placement of large items by opening the cover for convenient storage. When storing more cluttered items, to maximize storage space and facilitate categorization, the threaded rod on the cover can be rotated. As the rod rotates, the lower end moves the partitions downwards. When the lowest partition detaches from the lower end of the threaded rod, gravity causes it to move downwards, unfolding the connecting plates between the bottom and upper partitions. This creates a distance between the bottom and upper partitions, allowing items to be placed on them. When multiple partitions detach from the lower end of the threaded rod, there is space between them, allowing multiple layers of items to be placed on them, further facilitating storage and increasing usable space. Items can be accessed by opening the front door. When the partitions need to be folded up, various methods can be used, such as opening the cover and then individually folding up the partitions using the threaded rods; no technical limitations are imposed. Furthermore, other functions can be added to the above technical solution without technical limitations. Alternatively, items can be accessed and placed directly through the closed door on the front without lowering the partition, as needed.

[0018] Additionally, the casters allow for easy movement of the device. The detachable side panels and cover can be removed and stored when not in use, reducing space usage. During assembly, first, snap the clips on the lower part of the left and right side panels onto their corresponding snap rods. The upper limit protrusion of the clips restricts the snap rods within the snap grooves. Rotate the left side panel until its outer surface aligns with the vertical structure of the inner surface of the snap groove, preventing further outward rotation. Snap the right side panel using the same steps, then snap the front and rear side panels sequentially. After snapping the front and rear side panels together, rotate them to align them perpendicular to the base. The locking strips on the left and right side panels will engage with the locking strip grooves on the front and rear side panels, completing the installation of the side panels. Then, place the cover on top of the side panels and rotate the limiting plate to move the locking plate into the locking plate groove, thus completing the installation of the entire enclosure. The installation method is convenient and quick. When in use, the cover or the front closed door can be opened as needed, making it convenient to store different items; the connection and opening method of the closed door is not limited, as long as it can be opened.

[0019] Beneficial effects: This device allows for multiple ways of placing items. Large items can be accessed by opening the cover, or the partitions can be unfolded to create multi-layered storage space within the box. This facilitates the categorized storage of smaller items, increasing the usable space within the box. It also allows for quick disassembly and folding, reducing the space occupied when not in use and making the entire box easy to move. Installation is simple and convenient, and it features both top and front opening options for multi-directional access as needed. The device is also equipped with casters for easy movement.

[0036] A connector 14 is provided between connecting plate 13 and connecting plate 2, with its upper and lower ends rotatably connected to connecting plate 13 and connecting plate 2, respectively. The partition 16 can be moved vertically and stored under the lid. When the partition 16 is folded up, it can be folded through the connection method of connecting plate 13, connecting plate 2, and connector 14. That is, after folding, connecting plate 13 and connecting plate 2 are placed horizontally, with their heights aligned vertically. The connection method of connecting plate 13, connecting plate 2, and connector 14 is not technically limited, as long as it achieves the above function.

[0037] A threaded rod 17 is rotatably provided in the middle of the box cover. The threaded rod 17 is rotatably connected to the box cover. The lower part of the threaded rod 17 passes through the partition 16, and the threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the partition 16.

[0038] The enclosure includes a base 1. Around the base 1 are a left side panel 4, a right side panel 11, a front side panel 12, and a rear side panel 7. These panels can be folded sequentially towards the center of the base 1. The left side panel 4, right side panel 11, front side panel 12, and rear side panel 7 are rotatably connected to the base 1. Adjacent side panels are detachably connected. A closable door 3 is provided on the front side panel 12. Each of the outer surfaces of the left side plate 4 and the right side plate 11 is rotatably equipped with a limiting plate 6. A retaining plate 8 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the limiting plate 6, with the outer side of the retaining plate 8 protruding upwards. A locking plate 9 is fixedly mounted on each of the left and right sides of the cover plate 5. A groove for the retaining plate 8 is formed on the inner side of the upper surface of the locking plate 9. The upwardly protruding part of the retaining plate 8 is movable up and down within the groove of the retaining plate 8, thus connecting the cover plate 5 with the left side plate 4 and the right side plate 11. The upper surface of the upwardly protruding part of the retaining plate 8 has an arc-shaped structure. The upper outer side of the locking plate 9 also has an arc-shaped structure.

[0039] A snap-fit ​​mechanism is provided between the left side plate 4, right side plate 11, front side plate 12, rear side plate 7 and the base 1. The snap-fit ​​mechanism includes snap-fit ​​clips 10. Multiple snap-fit ​​clips 10 are distributed on the lower surfaces of the left side plate 4, right side plate 11, front side plate 12, and rear side plate 7. Snap-fit ​​grooves corresponding to the number and position of the snap-fit ​​clips 10 are evenly distributed around the upper surface of the base 1. The inner side of the snap-fit ​​groove is a vertical surface structure. A snap-fit ​​rod is fixedly installed in the snap-fit ​​groove. A clamping groove is opened on the inner side of the snap-fit ​​clip 10. Limiting protrusions are fixedly installed on the upper and lower outer sides of the clamping groove. The snap-fit ​​clip 10 is made of elastic material, and the clamping groove is located on the snap-fit ​​rod for snap-fitting and rotation. The height of the left side plate 4 and right side plate 11 is less than half the length of the base 1, and the height of the front side plate 12 and rear side plate 7 is less than the width of the base 1. The bottom of the front side panel 12 is at a height less than the bottom of the rear side panel 7 on the base 1. The bottoms of the left side panel 4 and the right side panel 11 are at a height greater than the bottom of the rear side panel 7 on the base 1. The length of the side panels is limited so that they can be used together to achieve the folding operation of the entire box. There are no specific technical limitations on the data, as long as the above functions can be achieved.

[0040] When using this utility model, large items can be placed by opening the cover plate 5 for convenient storage. When more miscellaneous items need to be placed, in order to accommodate more items inside the box and facilitate the classification of items, the threaded rod 17 on the cover plate 5 can be rotated. When the threaded rod 17 rotates, the lower end drives the partition 16 to move downward. When the lowest partition 16 disengages from the lower end of the threaded rod 17, the partition 16 moves downward under the action of gravity. At this time, the connecting plate 13 and connecting plate 15 between the lowest partition 16 and the upper partition 16 unfold, so that there is a certain distance between the lowest partition 16 and the upper partition 16, which can be used to place items on the partition 16. When multiple partitions 16 disengage from the lower end of the threaded rod 17, that is, there is a certain space between the upper and lower parts of multiple partitions 16, multiple layers of items can be placed on multiple partitions 16, which facilitates the storage of items and increases the usable space of the box. Items can be taken out and put in by opening the closed door 3 on the front side. When it is necessary to retract the partition 16, various methods can be used, such as opening the cover plate 5 and then retracting each partition 16 one by one using the threaded rod 17, without any technical limitations. Furthermore, other functions can be added to the above technical solution without technical limitations. Alternatively, if necessary, the partition 16 can remain in place, and items can be directly accessed or placed through the front closing door 3.

[0041] Additionally, the casters 2 allow for easy movement of the device. The detachable side panels and cover 5 can be removed and stored when not in use, reducing space usage. During assembly, first, snap the clips 10 below the left and right side panels 11 onto their corresponding snap rods. The upper limit protrusion of the clips 10 limits the snap rods within the snap groove. Rotate the left side panel 4 so that its outer surface aligns with the vertical structure of the inner surface of the snap groove, preventing further outward rotation. Then, rotate the right side... Panel 11 is snapped together using the steps described above. Then, the front and rear side panels 7 are snapped together sequentially using the same steps. After the front side panel 12 and rear side panel 7 are snapped together, during the rotation to make it perpendicular to the base 1, the locking strips on the left and right side panels 4 and 7 engage with the locking strip grooves on the front and rear side panels 12, thus completing the installation of the side panels. Next, the cover plate 5 is placed over the side panels, and the limiting plate 6 is rotated to rotate the locking plate 8 on the limiting plate 6 into the locking plate 8 groove on the locking plate 9, thereby completing the installation of the entire box. The installation method is convenient and quick. During use, the cover plate 5 or the front closing door 3 can be opened as needed, facilitating the storage of different items. The connection and opening method of the closing door 3 is not limited, as long as it allows for opening.
