[0037] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the storage box in this embodiment mainly consists of a storage compartment 1 and a flip base 2, which are rotatably connected. The storage compartment 1 has an upward-opening cavity shape, and its internal space can be used to store items. For example, in a daily home setting, it can be used to store various snacks, fruit peels, etc.; in a study or office environment, it can be used to store small miscellaneous items such as pins and staples, making it convenient for users to quickly access them. The flip base 2 also has an upward-opening inner cavity, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the storage compartment 1, allowing the storage compartment 1 and the flip base 2 to rotate smoothly relative to each other, while maximizing the cavity size of the storage compartment 1 within the limited space of the flip base 2's inner cavity. When the bottom of the flip base 2 is placed on a table or other surface, such as... Figure 2As shown, the turnover seat 2 is open upward, at this time the accommodation bin 1 is rotated in the turnover seat 2 to the position of opening upward, the whole storage box presents a cavity shape of opening upward, and the cavity internal space is the cavity internal space of the accommodation bin 1. The user can easily place the articles in the accommodation bin 1, and conveniently take and use at any time. In this state, the storage box occupies small space, and is convenient to use, and is very suitable for use in limited space such as desktop. When the bottom of the turnover seat 2 is separated from the placing surface, as shown in Figures 1-3 As shown, the turnover seat 2 can be rotated relative to the accommodation bin 1 until the position of closing the opening of the accommodation bin 1. At this time, the turnover seat 2 is equivalent to the cover of the accommodation bin 1, and the whole storage box becomes a closed cavity, which can effectively prevent dust and foreign matters from entering, and meet the needs of the user to save articles, and can ensure the safety and neatness of the articles during carrying or storage.
[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , 4 The driving device 3 is arranged between the accommodation bin 1 and the turnover seat 2, and the design of the driving device 3 aims to realize the rotation of the turnover seat 2 which can close the opening of the accommodation bin 1, so as to improve the convenience and safety of the storage box in different use scenarios. For example, when the storage box is placed on a plane, that is, the bottom of the turnover seat 2 is placed on the placing surface, the user can conveniently put articles into the accommodation bin 1 or take them out, and when it is separated from the placing surface due to accident, the driving device 3 can quickly respond to drive the turnover seat 2 to rotate until the opening of the accommodation bin 1 is closed, so as to prevent the internal articles from spilling.
[0040] Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The driving device 3 is a torsion spring, and the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively abutted on the accommodation bin 1 and the turnover seat 2. The design of the torsion spring fully considers its elastic performance and durability, and the elastic force thereof should meet that the turnover seat 2 cannot drive the accommodation bin 1 to rotate when the bottom of the turnover seat 2 is placed on the placing surface such as desktop, and the elastic force of the driving device 3 can drive the turnover seat 2 to rotate when the bottom of the turnover seat 2 is separated from the placing surface, so as to ensure that the turnover seat 2 realizes its corresponding functions in the two states respectively.
[0041] Further, as shown in Figures 4-6 The accommodation bin 1 and the turnover seat 2 are rotationally connected through the shaft hole 11 and the rotating shaft 21. The shaft hole 11 is arranged on the accommodation bin 1, and the rotating shaft 21 is arranged on the turnover seat 2 (of course, from the flexibility and diversity of production and manufacturing, the shaft hole 11 can also be arranged on the turnover seat 2, and the rotating shaft 21 can be arranged on the accommodation bin 1). The driving device 3, that is, the torsion spring, is sleeved on the rotating shaft 21, so that the position of the torsion spring remains relatively fixed.
[0042] When the bottom of the flip seat 2 is placed on a placement surface, such as a table top or the like, the accommodation bin 1 is rotated to a position with the opening facing upward in the flip seat 2, facilitating the user to take the items. In this process, the torsion spring is compressed to store energy due to the rotation of the flip seat 2 to the position with the opening facing upward. For a more intuitive understanding of the energy storage process of the torsion spring, taking the use in a home environment as an example, when the user places the item box on the table top, rotates the flip seat 2 to the position with the opening facing upward, and keeps the accommodation bin 1 in the flip seat 2 in the position with the opening facing upward, the torsion spring is gradually compressed to store elastic potential energy with the relative rotation of the accommodation bin 1 and the flip seat 2. When the flip seat 2 is separated from the placement surface, such as when the item box is picked up or accidentally dropped, the torsion spring releases the stored energy to drive the flip seat 2 to rotate relative to the accommodation bin 1, so that the flip seat 2 is rotated to a position closing the opening of the accommodation bin 1, thereby preventing the items in the accommodation bin 1 from spilling. For example, during walking, if the user accidentally knocks over the item box, the torsion spring will quickly act to drive the flip seat 2 to quickly close, avoiding the snacks and other items in the box from scattering on the ground, greatly improving the convenience and safety of use.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , 5 A stop portion 12 is arranged on one side of the accommodation bin 1, so that when the accommodation bin 1 is inside the cavity of the flip seat 2, the rotation range of the accommodation bin 1 relative to the flip seat 2 is limited. In particular, when the items in the accommodation bin 1 are mainly concentrated on one side of the stop portion 12, the presence of the stop portion 12 can prevent the accommodation bin 1 from rotating in the flip seat 2. In addition, the stop portion 12 protrudes outward from the accommodation bin 1 and is higher than the edge of the opening on the accommodation bin 1, so that the accommodation bin 1 can be kept in a relatively horizontal state in the flip seat 2, ensuring that as many items as possible can be placed in the accommodation bin 1. For example, when the item box is used on a tea table at home, even if the family members accidentally knock over the item box while moving around, the stop portion 12 can ensure that the accommodation bin 1 does not excessively rotate due to shaking, avoiding the items from falling out.
[0044] In addition, as shown in Figure 6 A fitting portion 22 is arranged on one side of the flip seat 2, recessed in the opening edge of the flip seat 2. The shape of the fitting portion 22 matches that of the stop portion 12, ensuring that when the flip seat 2 is rotated to a position closing the opening of the accommodation bin 2, the stop portion 12 can be exactly fitted into the fitting portion 22, thereby avoiding the stop portion 12 abutting against the edge of the flip seat 2 to cause the flip seat 2 to fail to completely close the opening of the accommodation bin 1. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 When the bottom of the flip seat 2 is placed on a placement surface, the stop portion 12 abuts against the flip seat 2, and the stop portion 12 and the fitting portion 22 are respectively located on the two sides of the rotation connection between the accommodation bin 1 and the flip seat 2.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the accommodation bin 1 is further provided with a counterweight part 13 on the side of the stop part 12, and the setting of the counterweight part 13 can adjust the gravity center distribution of the accommodation bin 1. On the one hand, the counterweight part 13 drives the accommodation bin 1 to rotate, and on the other hand, the stop part 12 prevents the continuous rotation of the accommodation bin 1, so that the accommodation bin 1 can be more stable and reduce shaking and displacement. The counterweight part 13 is made of a metal material with high density, such as a lead block or an iron block, and by accurately calculating its weight and position, it can effectively adjust the gravity center of the accommodation bin 1. In actual application scenarios, such as when the placement plane is moved, the desktop will vibrate and shake, and the storage box will easily shake in this case. The presence of the counterweight part 13 can keep the accommodation bin 1 stable in the turnover seat 2, and even if the storage box is hit by external force, it can reduce the shaking and displacement of the internal articles and ensure the safety and integrity of the articles.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 、 6 As shown, the accommodation bin 1 and the turnover seat 2 are further provided with a locking structure 4, which locks the turnover seat 2 on the accommodation bin 1 when the turnover seat 2 is rotated to the position of closing the opening of the accommodation bin 1. In this embodiment, the locking structure 4 provides two options of magnetic attraction and buckle. The magnetic attraction structure is simple and quick to operate, and can be locked by gently approaching; the buckle structure is strong in stability, and can withstand a large external force through mechanical buckling, so as to ensure that the turnover seat 2 and the accommodation bin 1 are closely connected, and meet the demand for stability of the storage box in different scenarios. When the accommodation bin 1 is provided with a stop part 12 on one side and the turnover seat 2 is provided with an embedded part 22 on one side, the locking structure 4 includes a first locking device 41 (such as a magnet) on the stop part 12 and a second locking device 42 (such as a magnetic material attracted to the magnet) on the embedded part 22. The magnetic strength of the first locking device 41 and the second locking device 42 is accurately tested and adjusted to ensure that in normal use, it can provide enough magnetic force to firmly lock the turnover seat 2 on the accommodation bin 1, so as to avoid that when the turnover seat 2 is rapidly buckled at the opening of the accommodation bin 1 under the drive of the driving device 3, the recoil force is greater than the magnetic attraction force between the first locking device 41 and the second locking device 42, causing the turnover seat 2 to fail to close the opening of the accommodation bin 1.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 、 6As shown, the bottom of the accommodating bin 1 is flat, and when the turnover seat 2 is buckled at the upper opening of the accommodating bin 1, the accommodating bin 1 becomes the bottom of the storage box, thereby ensuring that the storage box can be placed stably on a placement plane. In addition, the bottom of the turnover seat 2 is provided with three supporting legs 23, which make the turnover seat 2 placed on the plane more stable and better support the entire storage box when the opening of the accommodating bin 1 is upward. The supporting legs 23 are made of rubber material with certain elasticity and wear resistance, which not only can increase the friction with the placement surface to prevent the storage box from sliding, but also can play a certain role in shock absorption and buffering.
[0048] In actual use, when placed on an uneven table top, the supporting legs 23 can adapt to the unevenness of the table top through their own elastic deformation, so that the storage box remains horizontal and stable. Moreover, when the accommodating bin 1 is placed with the opening upward, the supporting legs 23 can evenly distribute the weight of the storage box, ensuring the stability of the entire storage box and avoiding the spilling of the contents due to unstable support. For example, when placing a storage box full of snacks on a household tea table, the supporting legs 23 can effectively prevent the storage box from being overturned due to slight touching, providing users with a more reliable use experience.
[0049] Through the above specific embodiments, the storage box of the present application not only prevents the turnover seat from being separated from the accommodating bin and lost like a cover, but also ensures that the turnover seat does not occupy a large space when the opening of the accommodating bin is opened, while also having the function of preventing the contents from spilling, greatly improving the practicality and convenience of the storage box.
