Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to storage tools, and more particularly, to a storage box structure. Background Technology

[0002] Existing storage solutions, such as the storage box with announcement number CN216660739U, mainly consist of a bottom, two end sides, a front side, a rear side, and a top cover. The two end sides, front side, and rear side are all hinged to the bottom. When the two end sides, front side, and rear side are all tilted upwards, the top cover is placed on top, forming a square box. When storage is needed, the top cover is removed, and the two end sides, front side, and rear side are placed inwards, saving a significant amount of storage space.

[0003] While the storage box with the aforementioned structure can fulfill the basic functions of assembly and storage, its components are numerous and each is an independent structure. In the manufacturing process, multiple injection molds need to be developed to mold each component. In the assembly process, these independent components need to be assembled, such as the hinges between the end faces and the bottom, resulting in high manufacturing costs and complex assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a storage box structure that effectively controls the overall manufacturing cost.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A storage box structure includes a bottom plate, side plates, and connectors. The number of side plates is three or more. The side plates are connected to the side of the bottom plate by the connectors. The connectors include a first deformable sheet, which is integrally injection molded into the corresponding bottom plate and the corresponding side plate.

[0007] The side panel is provided with a fixing part. When the side panel is flipped and erected above the base plate by the first deformable sheet, the fixing parts of the two adjacent side panels cooperate to fix each other, thereby forming a storage box structure.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, firstly, the side panel and the bottom panel are connected by injection molding using a first deformable sheet, which only requires one injection mold and does not require reassembly of the side panel and the bottom panel, effectively reducing manufacturing costs; secondly, the side panel can be flipped upright above the bottom panel by the first deformable sheet, and then fixed by the fixing parts on the two adjacent side panels, thus fixing the structure of the entire storage box and making it highly convenient to use.

[0009] Preferably, there are four side panels, and the bottom plate and the four side panels cooperate with each other to form a square storage box structure.

[0010] With the above technical solution, the four sides and the bottom plate work together to form a storage box structure with the opening facing upwards, resulting in a stronger storage effect.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing parts on two adjacent side plates are a first fixing member and a second fixing member, respectively;

[0012] The first fixing member includes a first fixing piece connected to the side of one of the side plates, and the first fixing piece is provided with a locking block. The second fixing member includes a slot provided on the side of the adjacent other side plate, and the slot wall is provided with a locking groove. The first fixing piece is inserted into the slot, and the first locking block is engaged in the locking groove.

[0013] With the above technical solution, when it is necessary to fix two adjacent side plates, the first fixing piece can be inserted into the slot, and then the locking block and the slot can engage. The first fixing piece can engage with the slot in the first stage, and the locking block and the slot can engage in the second stage, resulting in high fixation stability between the two adjacent side plates.

[0014] Preferably, the side panel includes a side frame, the middle of which is a hollow structure. The side frame is connected to the corresponding side of the base plate through a first deformable sheet. When the side panel and the side frame are flipped and erected above the base plate through the first deformable sheet, the fixing part of the side frame and the adjacent side panel are fastened together.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the side frame can provide further support to the adjacent side panels, making the structure of the entire storage box more stable; in addition, the side frame can also form a hollow area, through which users can place items into the storage box, making it highly convenient to place items.

[0016] Preferably, the side panel further includes a side flap, which is hinged within the hollow structure in the middle of the side panel.

[0017] With the above technical solution, the side flap can be flipped through the hinge point, which can open or close the hollow structure in the middle of the entire side flap, making it highly convenient to use.

[0018] Preferably, two opposite sides of the four sides of the base plate are provided with upwardly extending edges, and the side plate is connected to the extending edges by a first deformable sheet.

[0019] With the above technical solution, during transportation or storage, the two side panels corresponding to those without extension edges can be folded towards the bottom plate first, and then the two side panels corresponding to the extension edges can be folded towards the bottom plate. Because of the extension edges, the two pairs of side panels can have a certain vertical spacing, which makes folding and storage convenient.

[0020] Preferably, the number of side panels is three, and it also includes a side frame separately disposed on the base plate. The middle of the side frame is a hollow structure. When the three side panels are flipped and erected above the base plate by deformable thin sheets, the side frame and the fixing part of the adjacent side panel are fastened and fixed to each other. The side frame, the three side panels, and the base plate together form a storage box structure.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the three side panels are flipped and erected on the base plate by deformable thin sheets, and then the side frame is fastened to the fixing part on the side panel. The side frame can enhance the overall structural strength of the storage box. Users can put items into the storage box through the hollow area, making it very convenient to put items in.

[0022] Preferably, it also includes a side flap, which is hinged to the hollow structure in the middle of the side frame;

[0023] It may also include a side flap and a second deformable sheet, the second deformable sheet being integrally injection molded between the side frame and the side flap, the side flap being flipped over by the second deformable sheet and covering the hollow structure in the middle of the side frame.

[0024] Through the above technical solutions, firstly, whether the side flap and the middle space of the side frame are connected by a hinge or by a second deformable sheet, the overall rotation is relatively easy; secondly, if the second deformable sheet is used for connection, the side flap and the side frame can be injection molded with a single injection mold, which effectively reduces the manufacturing cost, and no subsequent assembly is required between the side flap and the side frame.

[0025] Preferably, the other side of the base plate opposite to the side frame is provided with an upwardly extending edge, and the side plate is connected to the extending edge by a first deformable sheet.

[0026] With the above technical solution, during transportation or storage, the two side panels corresponding to those without extension edges can be folded towards the bottom plate first, and then the two side panels corresponding to the extension edges can be folded towards the bottom plate. Because of the extension edges, the two pairs of side panels can have a certain vertical spacing, which makes folding and storage convenient.

[0027] Preferably, it also includes an upper cover plate, which is disposed on the box body enclosed by the side plates.

[0028] With the above technical solution, in actual use, the top cover can be placed on the box body surrounded by the side panels, thereby closing the entire storage box. Attached Figure Description

[0039] A storage box structure includes a base plate 1, side plates 2, and connectors 3. The number of side plates 2 is three or more. The side plates 2 are connected to the side of the base plate 1 by the connectors 3. The base plate 1 and the side plates 2 can both be square plates. Example

[0040] See Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 There are four side panels 2, and the base plate 1 and the four side panels 2 work together to form a square storage box structure.

[0041] The connector 3 includes a first deformable sheet 31, which may be made of PP material. The first deformable sheet 31 is integrally injection molded onto the corresponding base plate 1 and the corresponding side plate 2.

[0042] To enhance the overall structural strength of the storage box, a fixing part 4 is provided on the side of the side panel 2. When the side panel 2 is flipped upright above the base plate 1 by the first deformable sheet 31, the fixing parts 4 of the two adjacent side panels 2 cooperate to fix each other, thereby forming a shape as shown in the figure. Figure 2 The storage box structure.

[0043] See Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 Specifically, regarding the structure of the fixing part 4, the fixing parts 4 on the two adjacent side plates 2 are a first fixing member 41 and a second fixing member 6, respectively. The first fixing member 41 includes a first fixing piece 42 connected to the side of one of the side plates 2, and the first fixing piece 42 is provided with a locking block 5. The second fixing member 6 includes a slot 7 provided on the side of the other adjacent side plate 2, and the slot 7 has a locking groove 8 on its wall. The first fixing piece 42 is inserted into the slot 7, and the first locking block 5 is engaged in the locking groove 8.

[0044] See Figure 3 It also includes an upper cover plate 12, which covers the box body enclosed by the side plates 2.

[0045] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that:

[0046] See Figure 5 The side panel 2 includes a side frame 9, which has a hollow frame structure in the middle. The side frame 9 is connected to the corresponding side of the base plate 1 via a first deformable sheet 31. When the side panel 2 and the side frame 9 are flipped upright above the base plate 1 via the first deformable sheet 31, the side frame 9 and the fixing part 4 of the adjacent side panel 2 are interlocked and fixed, thereby forming a... Figure 6 The storage box structure shown.

[0047] The side panel 2 also includes a side flap 10, which is hinged to the hollow structure in the middle of the side panel 2.

[0048] On two opposite sides of the four sides of the base plate 1, there are upwardly extending edges 11, and the side plate 2 is connected to the extending edges 11 by a first deformable sheet 31.

[0049] Example 3: The difference from Example 1 and Example 2 is that:

[0050] See Figure 4 There are three side panels 2.

[0051] Additionally, see Figure 7 It can also be provided with a side frame 9, which is separately set on the base plate 1. The middle part of the side frame 9 is hollow. When the three side plates 2 are flipped and erected above the base plate 1 by the first deformable sheet 31, the side frame 9 and the fixing part 4 of the adjacent side plate 2 are fastened and fixed to each other. The side frame 9, the three side plates 2, and the base plate 1 together form a storage box structure.

[0052] Example 4: The difference from Example 3 is that:

[0053] It also includes a side flap 10, but the connection between the side flap 10 and the side frame 9 can be one of the following two forms:

[0054] (1) See Figure 7 The side flap 10 is hinged to the hollow structure in the middle of the side frame 9;

[0055] (2) See Figure 8 It also includes a second deformable sheet 13, which is integrally injection molded between the side frame 9 and the side flap 10. The side flap 10 is flipped over by the second deformable sheet 13 and covers the hollow structure in the middle of the side frame 9.

[0056] In addition, an upwardly extending edge 11 is provided on the side of the bottom plate 1 opposite to the side frame 9, and the side plate 2 is connected to the extending edge 11 by a first deformable sheet 31.

[0057] Of course, the above are just typical examples of this utility model. In addition, this utility model may have many other specific implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
