Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collection and preservation technology, and in particular to a preservation box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, protective boxes on the market for storing paper-based collectibles such as calligraphy, paintings, and cards merely serve as containers. They fail to consider that small, flat collectibles are susceptible to mold, mildew, and microbial infestation and damage if humidity is not effectively controlled in an enclosed space. Mold is the biggest hidden killer of paper-based collectibles. Mold spores are ubiquitous in the air, and once the humidity is suitable, mildew can form almost overnight, causing microbial growth on the surface of the collectible, color sedimentation of the cards, dulling, deformation, yellowing, and excessive aging. Damaged collectibles will have significantly reduced aesthetic and monetary value. Furthermore, excessive humidity can also cause acid migration in the collectibles. In long-term storage, unstable humidity can also cause excessive shrinkage of the collectible fibers, leading to card aging and wrinkling.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage box to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage box that can prevent the collection from sticking to the inner wall of the shell, and can also adjust the humidity to meet the storage requirements according to the characteristics of the collection, thereby extending the storage life of the collection and maintaining its integrity.

[0040] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model provides a storage box for storing collectibles on paper. The storage box includes a shell 100, a support member 200, and a dehumidification module 300. The shell 100 includes a first end cap 110 and a second end cap 120, which are fastened together to form a storage cavity 130. The support member 200 is fixed inside the storage cavity 130 and has a slot 210. Multiple support members 200 are provided, and each support member 200 is inserted into a corresponding corner of the collectible, such that the collectible and the shell 100 are spaced apart in the thickness direction X of the shell 100. The dehumidification module 300 is installed in the shell 100 and is used to regulate the humidity inside the storage cavity 130.

[0042] For example, a slot 210 is provided in the middle of the support member 200 along the thickness direction X of the housing 100. The slot 210 includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a third sidewall, and a fourth sidewall. The first and second sidewalls face each other along the thickness direction X of the housing 100 and correspond to the front and back end faces of the collectible, respectively. The third and fourth sidewalls are perpendicularly arranged to limit the length direction Y and width direction Z of the collectible. In this embodiment, the collectible is rectangular. The four corners of the collectible are inserted into the corresponding support members 200. The support members 200 not only fix the collectible in the storage cavity 130, but also ensure that the collectible is spaced apart from the inner peripheral wall of the housing 100 within the storage cavity 130, forming multiple airflow channels, which can prevent the collectible from sticking to the inner peripheral wall of the housing 100. Furthermore, the storage box is also equipped with a dehumidification module 300. The dehumidification module 300 regulates the humidity within the storage chamber 130, adjusting it to a humidity range that meets the preservation requirements based on the characteristics of the collectibles. This prevents excessive dryness, which could cause the collectibles or their pigments to crack, and also prevents excessive moisture, which could lead to mold and corrosion. In this way, the storage life of the collectibles can be extended, and their integrity can be maintained.

[0043] Optionally, the first end cap 110 includes a first end face 111, a second end face 112, and a guide surface 113 connecting the two. In the thickness direction X of the housing 100, the distance H1 between the first end face 111 and the first end cap 110 satisfies H1 < H2, where H2 is the distance between the second end face 112 and the first end cap 110. The support member 200 is located between the first end cap 110 and the first end face 111. The dehumidification module 300 is installed on the second end face 112. The airflow generated by the dehumidification module 300 is diverted and diffused after passing through the guide surface 113. With this configuration, in the thickness direction X of the housing 100, the airflow output direction of the dehumidification module 300 is opposite to that of the collection. After the airflow is discharged from the dehumidification module 300, it impacts the guide surface 113, and is diverted and dispersed by the guide surface 113, so that the airflow is dispersed and fills the storage cavity 130. This avoids the airflow output by the dehumidification module 300 directly acting on the collection, which could cause damage to the collection due to long-term stress. Optionally, the second end face 112 forms a mounting cavity 1121. The mounting cavity 1121 has a mounting port 1122 communicating with the outside of the housing 100 and a gas exchange port 1123 communicating with the storage cavity 130. The dehumidification module 300 can be inserted into the mounting cavity 1121 through the mounting port 1122 and can circulate gas with the storage cavity 130 through the gas exchange port 1123. In this way, the dehumidification module 300 can be installed and removed without opening and disassembling the first end cover 110 and the second end cover 120.

[0044] Optionally, a first seal is installed on the periphery of the dehumidification module 300 and / or the periphery of the mounting port 1122 to prevent gas exchange between the indoor and outdoor environments of the housing 100 through the mounting port 1122.

[0045] Optionally, along the thickness direction X of the housing 100, the support member 200 has a clearance hole 220, which communicates with the slot 210. The top corner of the artifact can extend into the clearance hole 220 through the slot 210 and be spaced apart from the inner peripheral wall of the clearance hole 220. In this way, the clearance hole 220 allows the top corner of the artifact to be suspended, preventing bending and damage.

[0046] Optionally, a protrusion 211 is provided in the slot 210 of the support member 200. The protrusion 211 is used to support the artifact, so that a gap is formed between the part of the artifact inside the slot 210 and the side wall of the slot 210. In this way, the protrusion 211 can reduce the contact area between the artifact and the inner peripheral wall of the slot 210 of the support member 200, avoid adhesion, and the formed gap can serve as an airflow channel.

[0047] Optionally, the first end cap 110 and the second end cap 120 are connected by a snap fastener 114. In this way, the first end cap 110 and the second end cap 120 form a simple detachable connection.

[0048] Optionally, a second sealing element is provided between the first end cap 110 and the second end cap 120. In this way, by filling and sealing the gap between the circumferential edges of the first end cap 110 and the second end cap 120 by the second sealing element, the airtightness of the storage cavity 130 inside the housing 100 can be maintained, preventing gas exchange between the indoor and outdoor environments of the housing 100 through the gap between the first end cap 110 and the second end cap 120.

[0049] For example, in this embodiment, the second seal is a rubber sealing ring.

[0050] In other embodiments, the storage box can also be sealed by potting glue, by filling the gap between the circumferential edges of the first end cap 110 and the second end cap 120 with a certain degree of fluidity, and achieving a sealing effect after the glue solidifies.

[0051] Optionally, the first end cap 110 is provided with a first flange 115 on its circumferential edge, and the second end cap 120 is provided with a second flange 121 and a limiting member 122 on its circumferential edge. The first flange 115 can be clamped between the second flange 121 and the limiting member 122.

[0052] For example, the first end cap 110 has a first flange 115 protruding along the thickness direction X of the housing 100, and the second end cap 120 has a second flange 121 and a limiting member 122 protruding along the thickness direction X of the housing 100. The limiting member 122 and the second flange 121 are spaced apart along the width direction Z or the length direction Y of the housing 100. The first end cap 110 and the second end cap 120 are fastened together along the thickness direction X of the housing 100. The first flange 115 is inserted between the limiting member 122 and the second flange 121 and forms an interference fit. The limiting member 122 makes the first flange 115 and the second flange 121 fit tightly to achieve a seal.

[0053] Furthermore, the second flange 121 is stepped, including a second flange surface A1211, a second flange surface B1212, and a second flange surface C1213 arranged sequentially along the thickness direction X of the shell 100, wherein the second flange surface C1213 is located on the side of the second flange surface B1212 that is opposite to the second flange surface A1211, and the second flange surface C1213 is located on the outermost side; the first flange 115 is stepped, including a first flange surface A1151 and a first flange surface B1152 arranged sequentially along the thickness direction X of the shell 100, and the first flange surface B1152 is located on the outer side relative to the first flange surface A1151. Along the thickness direction X of the housing 100, the second flange surface C1213 can fit with the first flange surface B1152; the second flange surface B1212 and the first flange surface B1152 are spaced apart to form a gap, which is used to install the first seal; the second flange surface A1211 fits with the first flange surface A1151.

[0054] Optionally, the first end cap 110 and / or the second end cap 120 may be transparent. This allows for easy observation of the artifacts stored in the storage cavity 130 through the first end cap 110 and / or the second end cap 120.

[0055] Furthermore, the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, the scope of which is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
