[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a storage box provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another structure of the storage box provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3 This is a partial structural diagram of a storage box provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 4 This is a front view of a storage box provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the storage box with both the lid and drawers closed. Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the box lid and drawer with the lid and drawer open. Figure 3 To better illustrate the storage area, drawers are not shown. Figure 4 This is a front view of the storage box with the lid open.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The storage box 1 includes a lid 10 and a body 11, the lid 10 and the body 11 being rotatably connected; the body 11 includes a partition assembly 111 for forming at least a communication module storage area 12 and a main body 112 for forming a storage area 13, the communication module storage area 12 is also provided with a plurality of partitions 14, the plurality of partitions 14 dividing the communication module storage area 12 into a plurality of storage sub-areas 121, the storage sub-areas 121 being used to store communication modules, and each storage sub-area 121 is surrounded by a first anti-static buffer (not shown); the storage box 1 also includes a drawer 15, the drawer 15 being slidably fitted into the storage area 13.

[0032] The lid 10 is rotatably connected to the body 11. Specifically, the lid 10 can be rotatably connected to the body 11 via a hinge, so that the user can take out or put in the communication module in the communication module storage area 12.

[0033] In some embodiments, the storage box 1 further includes a lid handle 101, which is disposed on the surface of the lid 10 opposite to the box body 11. The lid handle 101 facilitates the user to rotate the lid 10, thereby improving the practicality of the storage box 1.

[0034] The enclosure assembly 111 is used to enclose at least the communication module storage area 12.

[0035] Multiple partitions 14 divide the communication module storage area 12 into multiple storage sub-areas 121. Multiple communication modules can be stored in different storage sub-areas 121, so that each storage sub-area 121 can only accommodate one communication module, which can avoid the stacking of communication modules. In addition, each storage sub-area 121 is surrounded by a first anti-static buffer. The first anti-static buffer has anti-static function and buffer function, which can protect the communication module from ESD damage and also protect the communication module from mechanical damage when the storage box 1 is moved.

[0036] At least a portion of the first electrostatic buffer is disposed on the surface of the partition 14 facing the storage sub-area 121.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first antistatic cushioning element can be a sponge wrapped in antistatic cloth.

[0038] Figure 5 A top view of a storage box provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the partition 14 includes a fixed partition 141 and a removable partition 142. The fixed partition 141 is fixedly connected to the surrounding panel assembly 111, and the removable partition 142 is detachably connected to the fixed partition 141 to change the storage volume of the communication module storage area 12. With this configuration, the user can adaptively adjust the volume of the storage sub-area 121 for storing the communication module according to its size, ensuring that the communication module fits as closely as possible to the fixed partition 141 and the removable partition 142 surrounding the storage sub-area 121. This reduces mechanical damage to the communication module during movement due to mismatch in the storage sub-area 121, thereby improving the stability and safety of the communication module during movement within the storage box 1.

[0040] In some embodiments, the fixed partition 141 is provided with a plurality of slots (not shown), and the removable partition 142 is snapped into the slots. The slots enable the removable partition 142 to be detachably connected to the fixed partition 141, making it easy for the user to remove or install the removable partition 142, which helps to improve the practicality of the storage box 1.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5In a specific example, each removable partition 142 is placed in parallel, and a fixed partition 141 is positioned across the center of the removable partition 142. There is one fixed partition 141 and four removable partitions 142, forming ten storage sub-areas 121. When some communication modules are large, some of the removable partitions 142 can be removed, increasing the storage volume of at least part of the storage sub-areas 121. This allows the communication modules to fit as closely as possible to the fixed partitions 141 and removable partitions 142 surrounding the storage sub-areas, reducing mechanical damage to the communication modules during movement due to mismatch in the storage sub-areas 121. This, in turn, improves the stability and safety of the communication modules during movement within the storage box 1.

[0042] In some embodiments, the enclosure assembly 111 is also used to enclose an RF head storage area (not identified), where a second anti-static buffer 16 is placed. The second anti-static buffer 16 is provided with a plurality of blind holes 161 for placing the RF head. The second anti-static buffer 16 has both anti-static and buffering functions, which can protect the RF head placed in the blind holes 161 from ESD damage, and can also protect the RF head from mechanical damage when the storage box 1 is moved.

[0043] Understandable Figure 2 and Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a configuration with six blind holes (161). In practice, the number of blind holes (161) can be set to other quantities depending on the application requirements, such as three, eight, or ten. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The cross-section of the blind hole 161 is circular, but in reality, the shape of the blind hole 161 can be a square, pentagon, hexagon, or other polygonal or irregular shape.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second antistatic cushioning element 16 can be a sponge wrapped in antistatic cloth. In other embodiments, the second antistatic cushioning element can also be antistatic cushioning foam, antistatic pearl cotton, antistatic air column bag, or conductive rubber cushioning pad, etc.

[0045] In some embodiments, the enclosure assembly 111 is also used to enclose an accessory storage area 17, which is located on the same side as the RF head storage area 12.

[0046] Accessory storage area 17 can be used to store accessories needed for RF testing, such as SIM cards and USB cables.

[0047] In some embodiments, a third anti-static buffer (not shown) is provided around the accessory storage area 17. The third anti-static buffer has anti-static and buffering functions, which can protect the radio frequency devices placed in the accessory storage area 17 from ESD damage, and can also protect the radio frequency devices from mechanical damage when the storage box 1 is moved.

[0048] In some embodiments, the third antistatic cushioning element can be a sponge wrapped in antistatic cloth. In other embodiments, the third antistatic cushioning element can also be antistatic cushioning foam, antistatic pearl cotton, antistatic air column bag, or conductive rubber cushioning pad, etc.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The storage area 13 is used to place the drawer 15, which can hold radio frequency devices for storage.

[0050] In some embodiments, a third anti-static buffer is provided on the inner surface of the drawer 15. The third anti-static buffer has both anti-static and buffering functions, which can protect the radio frequency devices placed in the drawer 15 from ESD damage, and can also protect the radio frequency devices from mechanical damage when the storage box 1 is moved.

[0051] In some embodiments, the storage area 13 includes a first storage area 131 and a second storage area 132. The first storage area 131 is located between the communication module storage area 12 and the second storage area 132. The drawer 15 includes a first drawer 151 and a second drawer 152. The first drawer 151 is slidably connected to the first storage area 131, and the second drawer 152 is slidably connected to the second storage area 132. By dividing the storage area 13 into two storage areas 13, the first storage area 131 is used to place the first drawer 151, and the second storage area 132 is used to place the second drawer 152. Users can use the first drawer 151 and the second drawer 152 to store and categorize radio frequency devices, thereby improving the practicality of the storage box 1.

[0052] In some examples, one of the first drawer 151 and the second drawer 152 is used to store RF cables, while the other of the first drawer 151 and the second drawer 152 is used to store other RF devices, such as development boards. By placing the RF cables independently in one drawer 15, the performance of the RF cables can be damaged due to accumulation with other RF devices, thereby improving the reliability of the storage box 1.

[0053] In some embodiments, the storage box 1 further includes a first drawer handle 18 and a second drawer handle 19. The first drawer handle 18 is disposed on the surface of the first drawer 151 facing away from the box body 11; the second drawer handle 19 is disposed on the surface of the second drawer 152 facing away from the box body 11. The first drawer handle 18 and the second drawer handle 19 facilitate the user in pushing and pulling the first drawer 151 and the second drawer 152, thereby improving the practicality of the storage box 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, the storage box 1 further includes a first marking portion (not shown), a second marking portion (not shown), and a third marking portion (not shown). The first marking portion is disposed on the outer periphery of the enclosure assembly 111 and is used to identify information about the devices stored in the communication module storage area 12, the RF head storage area, and the accessory storage area 17. The second marking portion is disposed on the outer periphery of the first drawer 151 and is used to identify information about the devices stored in the first drawer 151. The third marking portion is disposed on the outer periphery of the second drawer 152 and is used to identify information about the devices stored in the second drawer 152. With this configuration, the user can directly know the devices stored inside the storage box 1 from the first marking portion, the second marking portion, and the third marking portion, which can improve the practicality of the storage box 1.

[0055] Device information may include device name, device signal, and device quantity.

[0056] In the aforementioned storage box 1, multiple partitions 14 divide the communication module storage area 12 into multiple storage sub-areas 121. Different communication modules can be placed in different storage sub-areas 121, ensuring that only one communication module is placed in each storage sub-area 121. Each storage sub-area 121 is surrounded by a first anti-static buffer, which has an anti-static function to protect the communication module from ESD damage. In addition, the first anti-static buffer has a cushioning function to protect the communication module from mechanical damage when the storage box 1 is moved. The drawer 15 is slidable and pulls into the storage area 13, allowing users to place RF devices in the drawer 15 for storage.

[0057] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing this disclosure, and in practical applications, various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure.
