Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of parts storage, specifically relating to a parts storage box for 3D printers. Background Technology
[0002] A 3D printer is a device that creates three-dimensional solid objects by adding materials based on a digital model. The 3D printing process involves layering materials until the final product is formed. A 3D printer consists of dozens of parts and requires a variety of consumable parts to be kept on hand.
[0003] Existing component storage boxes typically only allow adjustment of the length and width of the storage space. When the components are tall, they cannot be stored properly, resulting in a limited variety of components that can be stored. Therefore, component storage boxes of various heights are needed. Thus, a new type of component storage box for 3D printers is required. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A 3D printer parts storage box includes a main box body. An annular slot is provided on the side wall of the main box body, and a telescopic box body is vertically slidably inserted into the annular slot. A vertical fine toothed band is provided on each of the two outer side walls of the telescopic box body, and an insertion interface adapted to the fine toothed band is provided on the top of the side wall of the main box body. Each insertion interface is horizontally slidably connected to a toothed plate adapted to the fine toothed band. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to the side of each toothed plate away from the telescopic box body. Two parallel sliding blocks are provided on one side of each insertion interface, and the rotating shaft of the rotating plate is slidably connected to the sliding grooves of two adjacent sliding blocks. A hand-tightening bolt passes through the end of each rotating plate away from the sliding block, and each hand-tightening bolt is threadedly connected to the main box body.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the two fine toothed strips of the telescopic box are arranged on two opposite side walls.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, there is a certain gap between the two transverse ends of each toothed plate and the side wall of the insertion interface, and the top and bottom surfaces of the toothed plate are in contact with the top and bottom walls of the insertion interface, respectively.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, each inner sidewall of the main box body is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed fixing slots, and the inner cavity of the main box body is provided with a plurality of first partitions, and a plurality of second partitions perpendicular to the first partitions are inserted into the plurality of first partitions, and the ends of the first partitions and the second partitions are inserted into the fixing slots.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, each of the first partition and the second partition is provided with a number of half slots with the same spacing as the fixed slot spacing, and the first partition and the second partition are vertically inserted into each other through the half slots.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the telescopic box is fixedly connected to two fixed seats, and the two fixed seats are rotatably connected to the box lid.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the end of the box cover away from the fixed base is rotatably connected to a locking plate, the locking plate is inlaid with a magnet, and the telescopic box body is inlaid with an iron plate opposite to the position of the magnet.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. Several first and second partitions are inserted into the inner cavity of the main box. The first and second partitions are perpendicular to each other, thereby dividing the inner cavity of the main box into storage spaces that can accommodate various 3D printer parts, thus improving the ability to classify and store different types of parts.
[0015] 2. When the storage space is not tall enough to hold 3D printer parts, unscrew the hand-tightening bolt and rotate the rotating plate together with the toothed plate to make the toothed plate leave the insertion interface and separate the toothed plate from the fine toothed band of the telescopic box. Then lift the telescopic box to the appropriate height and fix the telescopic box. Thanks to the adjustable storage height of the parts storage box, the types of parts that can be classified and stored are further increased, and the versatility of the storage box is improved.

[0026] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-7 A 3D printer parts storage box includes a main box body 1 for storing various commonly used parts of the 3D printer, facilitating easy maintenance and replacement. An annular slot 101 is provided on the side wall of the main box body 1, and a telescopic box body 2 is vertically slidably inserted into the annular slot 101. When the height of the parts in the storage box is too high, the telescopic box body 2 can extend appropriately to accommodate them. Two fixed seats 7 are fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic box body 2, and the two fixed seats 7 are rotatably connected to a box cover 3. A locking plate 4 is rotatably connected to the end of the box cover 3 away from the fixed seats 7. The locking plate 4 is embedded with a magnet 5, and an iron plate 6 is embedded in the telescopic box body 2, opposite to the position of the magnet 5. The locking plate 4, the magnet 5, and the iron plate 6 together constitute a magnetic lock.
[0028] The telescopic box 2 has a vertical toothed band on each of its two outer side walls, and the top of the side wall of the main box 1 has an insertion interface 103 adapted to the toothed band. Each insertion interface 103 is horizontally slidably connected to a toothed plate 8 adapted to the toothed band, and a rotating plate 9 is fixedly connected to the side of each toothed plate 8 away from the telescopic box 2. Two parallel slides 11 are provided on one side of each insertion interface 103, and the rotation axis of the rotating plate 9 is slidably connected to the slide grooves of the two adjacent slides 11. The slides 11 are fixedly connected to the main box 1. The rotation axis of the rotating plate 9 can rotate and move linearly in the slide grooves of the slides 11, which facilitates the rotation of the rotating plate 9 together with the toothed plate 8, so that the toothed plate 8 leaves the insertion interface 103. A hand-tightening bolt 10 passes through the end of each rotating plate 9 away from the slide 11, and each hand-tightening bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the main box 1.
[0029] Two fine toothed bands are provided on two opposite side walls of the telescopic box 2. There is a certain gap between the two ends of each toothed plate 8 and the side wall of the insertion interface 103, and the top and bottom surfaces of the toothed plate 8 are in contact with the top and bottom walls of the insertion interface 103, respectively. The gap between the toothed plate 8 and the side wall of the insertion interface 103 facilitates the rotation of the toothed plate 8 away from the telescopic box 2.
[0030] Each inner sidewall of the main box 1 has a plurality of evenly distributed fixing slots 102. The inner cavity of the main box 1 contains a plurality of first partitions 12, and each of the first partitions 12 is connected to a plurality of second partitions 13 perpendicular to the first partitions 12. The ends of the first partitions 12 and the second partitions 13 are inserted into the fixing slots 102. The first partitions 12 and the second partitions 13 divide the inner cavity of the main box 1 into storage spaces of different sizes for components. The number and position of the first partitions 12 and the second partitions 13 are determined according to the actual required storage space. Each first partition 12 and the second partition 13 has a plurality of semi-grooves with a spacing equal to the spacing of the fixing slots 102, and the first partitions 12 and the second partitions 13 are perpendicularly connected through the semi-grooves.
[0031] Working principle:
[0032] In use, lift the locking plate 4, then lift the box cover 3, and insert several first partitions 12 and second partitions 13 into the inner cavity of the main box 1 to divide the inner cavity of the main box 1 into storage spaces suitable for various 3D printer parts. When the storage space is not high enough to store 3D printer parts, unscrew the hand-tightening bolt 10 and rotate the rotating plate 9 together with the toothed plate 8, so that the toothed plate 8 leaves the insertion interface 103 and separates from the fine toothed band of the telescopic box 2. Then lift the telescopic box 2 to a suitable height, and then rotate the rotating plate 9 to reset it. The toothed plate 8 and the fine toothed band of the telescopic box 2 are engaged. Then the hand-tightening bolt 10 passes through the rotating plate 9 and is threadedly connected to the main box 1, so that the position of the telescopic box 2 is fixed, thereby expanding the height of the storage space.
[0033] It should be noted that the above content merely illustrates the technical concept of this utility model and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and all such improvements and modifications fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
