DETAILED DESCRIPTION​​​​​​

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0046] This application provides a storage box. Figures 1 to 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the storage box provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The storage box 100 includes a box body 1, a lid 2, a movable part 3, and a pushing part 4. The box body 1 is provided with a storage slot 11 and a locking part 121; the lid 2 is rotatably connected to the box body 1 so as to have a first position covering the storage slot 11 (see...). Figure 1 ) and open the second position of storage compartment 11 (see Figure 4 The movable part 3 is movably disposed on the cover 2; the pushing part 4 is disposed between the box body 1 and the cover 2; when the cover 2 is in the first position, the movable part 3 can be locked with the locking part 121 (see...). Figure 6 and Figure 7 Alternatively, when the movable part 3 is unlocked from the locking part 121, the pusher 4 can drive the cover 2 to move from the first position to the second position.

[0048] In the storage box 100 provided in this embodiment, the locking of the movable part 3 and the locking part 121 ensures that the lid 2 tightly covers the storage slot 11 in the first position, preventing items from accidentally falling out or being contaminated by the outside world, thus providing good protection for the items inside the storage box 100 and keeping them safe and tidy during storage. When the movable part 3 and the locking part 121 are unlocked, the pushing part 4 can drive the lid 2 to automatically move from the closed state (first position) to the open state (second position), which increases the convenience of use. Users do not need to manually open the storage box 100, reducing the complexity of operation. It is particularly suitable for scenarios where it is difficult to open by hand, such as when the user has limited strength or limited operating space. In summary, the storage box 100 of this embodiment, through the cooperation of the movable part 3 and the locking part 121 and the automatic driving function of the pushing part 4, not only achieves the safety and reliability of item storage, but also simplifies the opening process of the lid 2, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] Understandably, there are multiple ways to achieve the following: when the movable part 3 unlocks from the locking part 121, the pushing part 4 can drive the cover 2 to move from the first position to the second position. For example, a small motor can be used as the power source, and when the movable part 3 unlocks from the locking part 121, the motor starts and drives the cover 2 to open. Alternatively, a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder can be used as the power source, and after unlocking, the cover 2 can be pushed by the pressure change of gas or liquid.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the movable member 3 is locked with the locking part 121, the pushing member 4 is in an energy-storing state. In these embodiments, when the movable member 3 is locked with the locking part 121, the pushing member 4 is in an energy-storing state. When the movable member 3 is unlocked, since the pushing member 4 is already in an energy-storing state, it can immediately drive the cover 2 to move from the closed state (first position) to the open state (second position). This instant response mechanism improves the convenience and efficiency of operation; the storage box 100 opens immediately after the user unlocks without waiting. Utilizing physical principles for energy storage reduces the need for additional power units compared to designs that use motors or other complex mechanical structures for automated opening, simplifying the overall structure of the storage box 100. This method allows for simpler and more compact integration into the storage box 100, saving internal space and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0051] This application does not limit the specific type of the pusher 4. In some examples, the pusher 4 is a torsion spring provided between the cover 2 and the box 1. When the movable part 3 is unlocked from the locking part 121, the torsion spring releases energy and drives the cover 2 to open automatically. In some examples, the pusher 4 includes magnets provided on the cover 2 and the box 1 respectively. When the movable part 3 is unlocked from the locking part 121, the cover 2 opens automatically under the action of magnetic force.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The pushing component 4 includes a gas strut 41, with its two ends hinged to the cover 2 and the box body 1, respectively. In these embodiments, when the moving component 3 unlocks from the locking part 121, the gas strut 41 pushes the cover 2 from the closed state (first position) to the open state (second position). As a common elastic support element, the gas strut 41 can automatically open the cover 2 using internal gas pressure at the moment of unlocking, without requiring manual force from the user, significantly improving ease of use. During the process of pushing the cover 2 open, the gas strut 41 can provide stable support force and has a certain buffering effect, preventing the cover 2 from being impacted or damaged due to rapid opening. The use of the gas strut 41 simplifies the structural design of the storage box 100, eliminating the need for complex mechanical transmission devices or additional power sources, reducing manufacturing costs, and improving the reliability and durability of the product. The support force of the gas strut 41 can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different weights of the cover 2 or different opening angle requirements, further enhancing the applicability and flexibility of the storage box 100. In summary, the design of using gas strut 41 as the pusher 4 not only enables the automatic opening function of the cover 2, but also provides stable support and cushioning, while simplifying the structure and reducing costs.

[0053] In some embodiments, multiple pushers 4 are provided, arranged along the rotation axis of the cover 2. In these embodiments, by arranging multiple pushers 4 (such as gas struts 41) along the rotation axis of the cover 2, the force on the cover 2 during opening and closing can be distributed more evenly, thereby improving the structural stability and reliability of the entire storage box 100. The synergistic effect of multiple pushers 4 can push the cover 2 more smoothly, avoiding shaking or jamming of the cover 2 caused by uneven force distribution from a single pusher 4, making the opening and closing process of the cover 2 smoother. The arrangement of multiple pushers 4 can distribute the load of a single pusher 4, reducing the risk of fatigue damage due to long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the storage box 100. In summary, by arranging multiple pushers 4 along the rotation axis, this design not only improves the stability and reliability of the storage box 100 but also optimizes the distribution of opening force, improving product durability.

[0054] In some embodiments, when the cover 2 rotates relative to the box 1, the movable member 3 can move relative to the cover 2 to avoid the locking part 121, so that when the movable member 3 is located on the side of the locking part 121 facing the cover 2, the movable member 3 is unlocked from the locking part 121, and when the movable member 3 is located on the side of the locking part 121 away from the cover 2, the movable member 3 is locked from the locking part 121. In these embodiments, when the cover 2 rotates relative to the box 1, the movable member 3 can move relative to the cover 2 to avoid the locking part 121. Specifically, when the movable member 3 is located on the side of the locking part 121 facing the cover 2, the movable member 3 is unlocked from the locking part 121, and the movable member 3 continues to move with the cover 2. When at least a portion of the movable member 3 passes the locking part 121 to be located on the side of the locking part 121 away from the cover 2, the movable member 3 is locked from the locking part 121. Thus, by changing the relative position of the movable member 3 and the locking part 121, locking is achieved when the cover 2 is closed in place. This design ensures that the storage box 100 can be tightly locked when closed, preventing the lid 2 from being accidentally opened, thus providing reliable protection for the items inside the storage box 100.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figures 5 to 7 The storage box 100 also includes an elastic element 5, which is connected between the cover 2 and the movable element 3. When the movable element 3 avoids the locking part 121, it can compress the elastic element 5 to store energy. In these embodiments, the elastic element 5 is configured such that the movable element 3 can compress the elastic element 5 and store energy when avoiding the locking part 121. When at least a portion of the movable element 3 passes the locking part 121, the elastic element 5 releases energy, driving the movable element 3 to automatically reset, thereby achieving the locking operation. Through the energy storage and release mechanism of the elastic element 5, the user does not need to manually adjust the position of the movable element 3, making the locking of the storage box 100 more automated and further improving the convenience of use.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 7The locking part 121 has a guide surface 1211, which can push the movable member 3 to move so that the movable member 3 avoids the locking part 121 and allows the elastic member 5 to store energy. When the movable member 3 disengages from the guide surface 1211, the elastic member 5 drives the movable member 3 to lock with the locking part 121. In these embodiments, during the closing process of the cover 2, as the cover 2 rotates relative to the box 1, the guide surface 1211 of the locking part 121 gradually contacts and pushes the movable member 3, causing it to move relative to the cover 2 to avoid the locking part 121. This process compresses the elastic member 5 connecting the cover 2 and the movable member 3, causing it to store energy. When the cover 2 continues to rotate until the movable member 3 completely passes the guide surface 1211 of the locking part 121, the movable member 3 is no longer under the pressure of the guide surface 1211. At this time, the elastic member 5 releases its stored energy, driving the movable member 3 back to its initial position and locking with the locking part 121. This design not only achieves automatic locking when the lid 2 is closed, but also ensures that the moving part 3 can smoothly avoid the locking part 121 through the guide surface 1211, reducing friction and wear. Furthermore, this mechanism improves the ease of operation and reliability of the storage box 100. The user only needs to close the lid 2 to the appropriate position, and the moving part 3 will automatically complete the unlocking, avoidance, and relocking process without additional manual operation. This not only simplifies the user's operation steps but also enhances the overall user experience. In summary, through the design of the guide surface 1211 of the locking part 121 and the application of the elastic element 5, this embodiment provides an efficient and reliable automatic locking mechanism, ensuring that the storage box 100 can be reliably locked when closed, and significantly improving ease of use and user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The movable component 3 includes a main body 31, a supporting part 32, and a bridging part 33 connecting the main body 31 and the supporting part 32. The supporting part 32 is located on the side of the main body 31 facing the storage compartment 11. The main body 31 and the supporting part 32 are spaced apart so that when the movable component 3 is locked with the locking part 121, the locking part 121 is located between the supporting part 32 and the main body 31 and abuts against the supporting part 32 (see...). Figure 7 In these embodiments, the main body 31 is the primary support portion of the movable member 3. It is connected to the cover 2 or other mechanical components and is responsible for transmitting force and movement. The abutment portion 32 is located on the side of the main body 31 facing the storage compartment 11 and is specifically designed to contact the locking portion 121 to achieve the locking function. The bridging portion 33 connects the main body 31 and the abutment portion 32, forming a stable structural frame. This not only enhances the overall strength of the movable member 3 but also ensures the structural stability of the movable member 3 during locking and unlocking, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by external forces.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figures 5 to 7The elastic element 5 is connected between the main body 31 and the cover 2, with one end of the main body 31 facing away from the elastic element 5 (see...). Figure 7 When the lower part of the main body 31 is pressed, the movable part 3 can avoid the locking part 121 and allow the elastic member 5 to store energy. In these embodiments, when the end of the main body 31 away from the elastic member 5 is pressed, the movable part 3 can avoid the locking part 121, thereby realizing the unlocking function. In this design, the user only needs to press the movable part 3 to unlock the locking part 121, and then the cover 2 will automatically pop open under the drive of the pusher 4, realizing the opening of the cover 2. Compared with the cumbersome operation of related technologies that requires one hand to press the unlock button and the other hand to manually lift the cover 2, this design significantly simplifies the opening process of the cover 2. Specifically, the user only needs to press once to complete the two steps of unlocking and opening, without the need for two-hand operation or long-term operation, which greatly improves the convenience of use. When the user operates the storage box 100 to close, the cover 2 rotates relative to the box body 1, and the locking part 121 gradually approaches and contacts the abutment part of the movable part 3. At this time, the abutment part is subjected to pressure from the locking part 121, and the movable part 3 begins to move relative to the cover 2. Since the elastic element 5 is connected between the main body 31 and the cover 2, as the main body 31 moves, the elastic element 5 is gradually compressed and stores energy. When the cover 2 continues to rotate, and the abutment part completely passes the locking part 121, the elastic element 5 releases energy, pushing the movable part 3 to reset, so that the locking part 121 enters the space between the main body 31 and the abutment part and abuts against the abutment part, thereby achieving the locked state. At this time, the movable part 3 realigns with the locking part 121, preparing for the next unlocking operation. In this way, through the connection between the elastic element 5 and the main body 31, this design realizes the avoidance and unlocking functions of the movable part 3. At the same time, by utilizing the energy storage and release mechanism of the elastic element 5, automatic reset and optimized operation experience are achieved, improving the overall performance of the storage box 100 and the user's convenience.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 7The supporting portion 32 has a mating surface 321 adapted to the guide surface 1211 on the side opposite to the main body portion 31. In these embodiments, the supporting portion 32 has a mating surface 321 adapted to the guide surface 1211 of the locking portion 121 on the side opposite to the main body portion 31. This design allows the mating surface 321 of the supporting portion 32 to fit tightly against the guide surface 1211 of the locking portion 121 when the supporting portion 32 of the movable member 3 contacts the locking portion 121 during the closing process of the cover 2, thereby achieving a smooth and reliable avoidance and locking operation. Specifically, when the cover 2 rotates relative to the box 1 and gradually closes, the guide surface 1211 of the locking portion 121 first contacts the mating surface 321 of the supporting portion 32. Due to the good fit between the two, the guide surface 1211 can smoothly push the supporting portion 32, causing it to move the entire movable member 3 relative to the cover 2 through the bridging portion 33. During this process, the elastic element 5 is compressed and stores energy, allowing the movable element 3 to smoothly avoid the locking part 121, preventing hard collisions or jamming. As the cover 2 continues to rotate, the movable element 3 gradually passes the guide surface 1211 of the locking part 121. Once the movable element 3 is completely out of the influence range of the guide surface 1211, the elastic element 5 releases its stored energy, pushing the movable element 3 to reset, causing the supporting part 32 to re-contact and lock with the locking part 121. By providing a mating surface 321 adapted to the guide surface 1211 on the supporting part 32, this design not only achieves the automatic avoidance and locking function of the movable element 3 during the closing process of the cover 2, but also improves the accuracy and stability of the overall system. This design reduces friction and wear between the movable element 3 and the locking part 121, extends the service life of mechanical components, and improves the ease of operation and user experience of the storage box 100.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 7 The supporting portion 32 includes a connecting portion 322 and a corner portion 323. The connecting portion 322 connects the bridging portion 33 and the corner portion 323. The corner portion 323 has a guide surface 3231 on the side facing the main body portion 31. In these embodiments, the corner portion 323 has a guide surface 3231 on the side facing the main body portion 31, which allows the movable member 3 to move smoothly along the guide surface 3231 during the unlocking process, thereby achieving smooth disengagement of the movable member 3 from the locking portion 121. This design effectively avoids jamming and friction during the unlocking process, significantly improving the user experience.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 7The cover 2 has a mounting cavity 21, and a first opening 22 and a second opening 23 communicating with the mounting cavity 21. The main body 31 is disposed in the mounting cavity 21, and the end of the main body 31 facing away from the elastic member 5 can be located at the first opening 22. The bridging part 33 passes through the second opening 23 so that the supporting part 32 extends out of the mounting cavity 21. In these embodiments, the mounting cavity 21 of the cover 2 provides a stable mounting space for the movable member 3. The end of the main body 31 facing away from the elastic member 5 can be located at the first opening 22, so that the user can press the main body 31 through the first opening 22 to move the movable member 3, thereby unlocking it. At the same time, the bridging part 33 passes through the second opening 23 and extends the supporting part 32 to the outside of the mounting cavity 21, so that the supporting part 32 can directly contact the locking part 121 to complete locking or unlocking. This design not only realizes the smooth movement of the movable member 3, but also ensures the overall structural compactness and reliability of the storage box 100 through a reasonable spatial layout. Meanwhile, the mounting cavity 21 provides protection for the movable part 3, reducing interference from external factors on its movement and further improving the durability of the storage box 100 and the user experience.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The cover 2 also includes a first mounting portion 24 protruding from the inner wall of the mounting cavity 21. The first mounting portion 24 has a first guide hole 241, and the main body 31 has a guide portion 311 protruding from the end facing the elastic member 5. The guide portion 311 passes through the first guide hole 241. In these embodiments, the cooperation between the first guide hole 241 and the guide portion 311 provides a precise guiding path for the movement of the main body 31, ensuring that the movable member 3 moves smoothly along a straight line during unlocking and locking, avoiding deviation and shaking, and improving the stability and reliability of the movement. By providing the first mounting portion 24 and the guide hole on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 21, the movement of the main body 31 is restricted within a predetermined trajectory, reducing the space requirement of the movable member 3 during movement, making the overall structure of the storage box 100 more compact.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 7The elastic element 5 is sleeved on the guide portion 311. In these embodiments, the elastic element 5 is directly sleeved on the guide portion 311. This design reduces additional mounting components, making the internal structure of the storage box 100 simpler and saving space. The elastic element 5, sleeved on the guide portion 311, provides stable elastic support for the movable element 3, ensuring that the elastic element 5 can apply force evenly during unlocking and locking, making the movement of the movable element 3 smoother. Fixing the elastic element 5 by sleeve reduces possible displacement or loosening of the elastic element 5 during movement, improving the reliability of the locking and unlocking functions of the storage box 100. In some examples, the elastic element 5 can be a cylindrical rubber component, with the diameter of the guide portion 311 slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical rubber component, ensuring that the cylindrical rubber component can be easily sleeved on the guide portion 311 and can slide freely on the guide portion 311. In some examples, the elastic element 5 is a spring 51.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The cover 2 also includes a second mounting portion 25 protruding from the inner wall of the mounting cavity 21. The second mounting portion 25 has a second guide hole 251, through which the main body portion 31 passes. In these examples, the cooperation between the second guide hole 251 and the main body portion 31 provides a precise guiding path for the movement of the movable part 3, ensuring that the movable part 3 moves smoothly along a straight line during unlocking and locking, avoiding offset and shaking, and improving the stability and reliability of the movement.

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 7 A limiting part 312 protrudes from the side of the main body 31 opposite to the supporting part 32, and the limiting part 312 is used to restrict the main body 31 from dislodging from the first opening 22. In these embodiments, the design of the limiting part 312 effectively prevents the main body 31 from accidentally dislodging from the first opening 22, ensuring that the movable part 3 remains connected to the cover 2 during use, and avoiding loss or damage of parts due to external force or misoperation. The presence of the limiting part 312 improves the safety of the storage box 100 during use, especially in vibrating environments such as vehicles, ensuring the stability of the movable part 3 and preventing parts from loosening or falling off due to vibration. By providing the limiting part 312 on the main body 31, additional fixing devices or complex assembly steps are reduced, making the assembly of the storage box 100 simpler and faster, and reducing production costs.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The cover 2 includes two cover plates 26, which are partially spaced apart to define a mounting cavity 21. In these embodiments, dividing the cover 2 into two cover plates 26 with a gap between them to form the mounting cavity 21 simplifies the manufacturing and assembly process and reduces production costs. This design makes the internal components of the mounting cavity 21 easy to inspect and maintain, facilitating subsequent repairs and replacements. The gap between the two cover plates 26 can be adjusted as needed to accommodate moving parts 3 or other internal components of different sizes and shapes, improving design flexibility.

[0067] In some examples, see Figure 3 The second mounting part 25 is separately disposed from the cover body 2. When assembling the cover body 2, the elastic member 5 is sleeved on the guide part 311 of the movable member 3, and then the guide part 311 of the movable member 3 is passed through the first guide hole 241 of the first mounting part 24 connected to a cover plate 26. The bridging part 33 of the movable member 3 is passed through the second opening 23 of the cover plate 26 so that the abutting part 32 passes out of the mounting cavity 21. Then the second mounting part 25 is fixed to the cover plate 26 by fasteners (e.g., screws). Part of the second mounting part 25 is spaced apart from the cover plate 26 to define the second guide hole 251 through which the main body part 31 of the movable member 3 passes. Finally, another cover plate 26 is closed to the cover plate 26 and fixed by fasteners (e.g., screws).

[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 7 The box body 1 has a side wall 12 defining a storage slot 11, and a locking part 121 protrudes from the side wall 12 toward the storage slot 11. In these examples, the locking part 121 is located inside the storage slot 11, which increases the security and neat appearance of the storage box 100. Even in the event of external impact or vibration, the locking part 121 can firmly maintain its position and prevent accidental unlocking.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The side wall 12 is provided with a protrusion 122, and the protrusion 122 has a notch 1221 facing outward from the storage compartment 11. The portion of the protrusion 122 with the notch 1221 forms a locking part 121. In these embodiments, by providing a notch 1221 on the protrusion 122 of the side wall 12 to form the locking part 121, this design tightly integrates the locking function with the structure of the side wall 12 of the storage compartment 11, reduces the use of additional components, and makes the overall structure of the storage box 100 more compact. The design of the protrusion 122 not only provides a locking function, but also enhances the structural strength of the side wall 12, reducing the risk of structural deformation or damage due to frequent operation. The notch 1221 on the protrusion 122 provides a clear locking position for the locking part 121, so that the moving part 3 can fit tightly with the notch 1221 when locked, thereby providing a stable locking force and ensuring that the cover 2 is tightly connected to the box 1 in the closed state. The design of the notch 1221 provides a clear guide path for the movement of the moving part 3, making the unlocking and locking process smoother. This design reduces friction and jamming between the moving part 3 and the locking part 121, improving operational reliability. In summary, by forming the locking part 121 by providing a notch 1221 on the protrusion 122 of the side wall 12, this design not only optimizes the structural compactness of the storage box 100, but also improves the locking and unlocking performance, while enhancing the overall structural strength and reliability.
