Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor equipment technology, and in particular to an outdoor self-storage box for orienteering events. Background Technology
[0002] Orienteering, a challenging and fun outdoor sport, is typically held in complex outdoor environments such as mountains, forests, and parks. Participants need to carry key items such as orienteering maps, compasses, and timing cards. These items are crucial for the smooth running of the competition and therefore require reliable storage devices for safekeeping.
[0003] However, existing storage equipment used in orienteering events has many problems. Firstly, most storage boxes perform poorly in protecting against harsh outdoor weather and accidental collisions. Outdoor environments are unpredictable, including heavy rain, strong winds, intense sunlight, and collisions during transport or placement. Traditional storage boxes are made of ordinary materials, such as plastic or thin metal, which are weak in terms of waterproofing, sun protection, and impact resistance, making it difficult to effectively protect the items inside. These items may be damaged by moisture, sun exposure, or collisions.
[0004] On the other hand, the internal space layout lacks flexibility. The existing storage boxes have fixed internal spaces that cannot be adjusted according to the size and quantity of different items. This makes it inconvenient for participants to categorize and store their items, reducing storage efficiency. In addition, there are shortcomings in terms of the convenience and security of storing and retrieving items. Some storage boxes lack convenient adjustment mechanisms, making the operation of storing and retrieving items cumbersome; moreover, the security measures are simple, such as only being equipped with ordinary locks, which cannot effectively prevent items from being stolen or taken by others at will, making it difficult to meet the strict requirements of the event for the safe storage of items.
[0005] In conclusion, developing an outdoor self-storage box with good impact resistance, flexible internal space, convenient access, and high security is of great significance for improving the experience of orienteering participants and ensuring the smooth running of the event.

[0040] The circuits, electronic components, and module mechanisms involved all employ existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need no further explanation. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software, circuits, or methods.
[0041] Working principle: When in use, first connect the power supply, carry the device by the handle and move it to the designated location. Then, the user can open the door 11 through the fingerprint lock 112 or the combination lock 111. The user can manually rotate the rotating ring 34 according to the needs of placing items. The rotating ring 34 drives the screw sleeve 33 to rotate on the lead screw 32. While the screw sleeve 33 rotates, it controls the corresponding storage seat 1 3 to slide on the guide rod 31. The movement of the screw sleeve 33 can drive the corresponding storage seat 1 3 to adjust its height. At the same time, when the height of storage seat 1 3 is adjusted, it drives storage seat 2 5 to adjust synchronously through the cooperation of the guide groove and the guide ring 501, so as to facilitate the user to classify and store items according to their needs.
[0042] When it is necessary to control the rotation adjustment of storage seat 2 5, the brake motor 53 can be started. The output shaft of the brake motor 53 drives the drive gear 54 to rotate. With the cooperation of the driven gear 52 and the sliding sleeve 51, the drive gear 54 can control the rotation of storage seat 2 5 based on the guide column 4, so as to facilitate the user to take out and put in items from storage seat 2 5.
[0043] When it is necessary to press and limit the objects placed on storage seats 3 and 5, the handle can be pulled manually. The handle moves the pressure plate 61 upward, and the pressure plate 61 moves the L-shaped plate 6. The L-shaped plate 6 compresses the spring 62. At this time, the objects can be placed on storage seats 3 and 5 and positioned below the pressure plate 61. Then, the handle is released, and the elastic force of the spring 62 moves the L-shaped plate 6 back to its original position. The L-shaped plate 6 then moves the pressure plate 61 to press and limit the objects, preventing displacement and collisions during the movement of the device.
[0044] The above provides a detailed description of an outdoor self-storage box for orienteering events provided by this utility model. Specific embodiments have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. These embodiments are merely illustrative and are intended to help understand the method and core ideas of this utility model.
