Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toy technology, and in particular relates to a self-locking and counting soft elastic storage box. Background Technology
[0002] Foam bullet guns are commonly used for children's entertainment and shooting games due to their safety and fun. They fire foam bullets using compressed air or other power sources, producing a relatively small impact force that does not cause substantial harm to the target, making them popular with both children and adult shooting game enthusiasts.
[0003] Among the common packaging methods for foam bullets, plastic bags are simple, convenient, and inexpensive to produce. However, due to their soft material, plastic bags have limited durability, making them susceptible to damage from external pressure, affecting both appearance and performance. Another method uses storage boxes. Storage boxes offer some rigidity, effectively preventing damage to foam bullets packaged in plastic bags from external pressure. However, because foam bullets are generally round, they cannot fit snugly against the box walls. This can lead to a looser distribution when there are fewer bullets, causing them to shake, collide, and tilt within the box; or, if there are more, they may be compressed, still impacting the appearance and quality of the foam bullets. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-locking and counting soft bullet storage box, which solves the problem that existing foam bullets are packaged in storage boxes, but the bullets do not fit snugly against the side wall of the storage box, affecting the appearance and quality of the foam bullets.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a self-locking and counting soft bullet storage box, including a top cover and a bottom box. The outer periphery of the top cover is provided with a snap-fit component and a positioning component, and the outer periphery of the bottom box is provided with a matching snap-fit part and a positioning part. The top cover is positioned and closed onto the opening of the bottom box by the positioning component and the positioning part, and is then detachably fastened and locked by the snap-fit component and the snap-fit part, so that the top cover and the inner cavity of the bottom box form a sealed space for storing foam bullets. When the snap-fit component and the snap-fit part are unlocked, the top cover separates from the bottom box. The outer periphery of the top cover and the bottom box is wavy, and the wavy structure is provided with alternating raised units and recessed units.
[0006] Furthermore, the snap-fit component and the positioning component are disposed on the side wall of the recessed unit of the upper cover, and the snap-fit portion and the positioning portion are disposed on the side wall of the recessed unit of the bottom box, so that the maximum outer contour of the snap-fit component, the positioning component, the snap-fit portion and the positioning portion does not exceed the apex of the adjacent protruding unit.
[0007] Furthermore, the snap-fit component is a downwardly extending buckle, the snap-fit portion is a snap-fit groove, and the buckle engages with the snap-fit groove; the positioning component is a positioning hole, the positioning portion is a positioning post, and the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole for positioning connection.
[0008] Furthermore, the free end of the positioning post serves as a guide position.
[0009] Furthermore, the snap-fit and positioning parts are provided on the two opposite side walls of the top cover, and the snap-fit and positioning parts are respectively provided on the side walls of the bottom box.
[0010] Furthermore, the snap-fit and positioning components are provided on the two opposite sidewalls of the longer upper cover, and there are four of each. Two snap-fit and two positioning components are provided on one long sidewall of the upper cover. The corresponding long sidewall of the bottom box is provided with matching snap-fit and positioning parts. The diameter of the recessed unit on the two opposite sidewalls of the longer length is larger than that of the recessed unit on the two opposite sidewalls of the shorter length.
[0011] Furthermore, the top cover and bottom box are provided with snap-fit parts, and grooves are provided on the two opposite side wall mating surfaces of the snap-fit parts, with stickers provided on the grooves.
[0012] Furthermore, the opening of the top cover is provided with a stepped hole, which mates with the opening of the bottom box.
[0013] Furthermore, the top surface of the cover is provided with a downwardly recessed cavity, and the four sides of the cavity are provided with bent plates extending upward. The bent plates include a suspended top plate, which is located above the cavity.
[0014] Furthermore, the cavity is provided with the same number of through slots as the bending plate, and the through slots are located at the position where the top plate is projected onto the cavity.
[0015] The above-mentioned one or more technical solutions in the self-locking and counting soft and elastic storage box provided in this utility model embodiment have at least the following technical effects:
[0016] Because the positioning element guides and positions itself on the positioning part, the top cover can precisely close onto the opening of the bottom box. Then, the latching parts and locking mechanism lock the top cover and bottom box together, forming a sealed space for storing foam bullets. This effectively prevents the product from being damaged by collisions and compression during transportation, keeping the product stable and less susceptible to external pressure, thus improving the yield rate. When foam bullets are needed, the latching parts and locking mechanism can be unlocked, and the top cover and bottom box can be opened and separated.
[0017] Because the outer perimeter of the storage box is wavy with alternating raised and recessed units, the arc-shaped outer perimeter of each foam bullet matches a single raised unit, while the recessed units help to restrain the arc-shaped sidewalls of the foam bullets. When the storage box is full of foam bullets, the foam bullets near the sidewalls of the box correspond one-to-one with the raised units, increasing the contact area and ensuring that the foam bullets inside the box are upright and close together. Therefore, the foam bullets packaged inside the box will not tip over, preventing them from shaking if there are too few or squeezing if there are too many, which would affect the appearance and quality of the bullets. In addition, the number of raised units in the storage box is fixed. The total number of bullets can be calculated from the number of raised units on the outside of the box. Storage boxes with the same appearance and size can ensure the consistency of the number of bullets, eliminating the need for additional counting. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0032] In one embodiment of the self-locking and counting soft elastic storage box of this utility model, please refer to... Figures 1 to 7A self-locking and counting soft-ball storage box includes a top cover 100 and a bottom box 200. The top cover 100 has a snap-fit element 110 and a positioning element 120 on its outer periphery. The bottom box 200 has a matching snap-fit part 210 and a positioning part 220 on its outer periphery. The top cover 100 is positioned and closed onto the opening of the bottom box 200 by the positioning element 120 and the positioning part 220, and is then detachably fastened to the snap-fit part 210 by the snap-fit element 110, forming a sealed space for storing foam bullets within the inner cavity of the bottom box 200. When the snap-fit element 110 and the snap-fit part 210 are unlocked, the top cover 100 separates from the bottom box 200. The outer periphery of the top cover 100 and the bottom box 200 is wavy, and the wavy structure has alternately distributed raised units 160 and recessed units 170.
[0033] Specifically, because the positioning component 120 can be guided and positioned on the positioning part 220, the upper cover 100 can accurately close onto the opening of the bottom box 200. Then, the latching component 110 and the latching part 210 are engaged to lock the upper cover 100 and the bottom box 200, forming a sealed space for storing foam bullets. This effectively prevents the product from being damaged by collisions and compression during transportation, keeping the product in a stable state and less susceptible to external pressure, thus improving the yield rate. When foam bullets are needed, the latching component 110 and the latching part 210 are unlocked, and the upper cover 100 and the bottom box 200 can be opened and separated. Because the outer perimeter of the storage box is wavy with alternating raised units 160 and recessed units 170, the arc-shaped outer perimeter of a single foam bullet matches a single raised unit 160, and the recessed unit 170 helps to limit the arc-shaped sidewall of the foam bullet. When the storage box is full of foam bullets, the foam bullets near the sidewall of the box correspond one-to-one with the raised units 160, ensuring that the foam bullets inside the box are upright and close to each other. Therefore, the foam bullets packaged inside the box will not tip over, preventing the appearance and quality of the bullets from being affected by shaking due to insufficient quantity or squeezing due to excessive quantity. In addition, the number of raised units 160 in the storage box is fixed. The total number of bullets can be calculated by the number of raised units 160 on the outside of the box. Storage boxes with the same appearance and size can ensure the consistency of the number of bullets, eliminating the need for additional counting.
[0034] Furthermore, the snap-fit component 110 and the positioning component 120 are located on the side wall of the recessed unit of the upper cover 100, and the snap-fit portion 210 and the positioning portion 220 are located on the side wall of the recessed unit of the bottom box 200, so that the maximum outer contour of the snap-fit component 110, the positioning component 120, the snap-fit portion 210, and the positioning portion 220 does not exceed the apex of the adjacent protruding unit 160. Specifically, because the maximum outer contour of the snap-fit component 110, the positioning component 120, the snap-fit portion 210, and the positioning portion 220 does not exceed the apex of the adjacent protruding unit 160, the storage box can be laid flat with the bottom of the bottom box as support, or it can be stably placed vertically with the protruding unit 160 as support, allowing the storage boxes to be stacked according to the actual storage space. In addition, the snap-fit structure and the positioning structure are located inside the recessed unit 170, forming a hidden sealing structure, which improves the aesthetics of the storage box.
[0035] Furthermore, the snap-fit component 110 is a downwardly extending snap-fit, and the snap-fit part 210 consists of a connecting plate 211 on the side wall of the recessed unit and a slot 212 on the connecting plate 211. The snap-fit 110 engages with the slot 212. The positioning component 120 is a positioning hole opening towards the bottom box 200, and the positioning part 220 consists of a fixing plate 221 on the side wall of the recessed unit and a positioning post 222 on the fixing plate 221. The positioning post 222 is inserted into the positioning hole 120 for positioning connection. Specifically, the bottom box 200 is placed horizontally on the table with the positioning post 222 facing upward. The positioning hole 120 of the top cover is aligned with the positioning post 222, and then the top cover 100 is pressed towards the bottom box 200. The positioning hole 120 and the positioning post 222 complete the positioning connection, and at the same time, the snap-fit 110 and the slot 212 complete the locking, completing the sealing and packaging of the foam bullet.
[0036] Furthermore, the free end of the positioning post 220 serves as a guide post 223. Specifically, the guide post 223 facilitates the entry of the positioning post 222 into the positioning hole 120.
[0037] Furthermore, the upper cover 100 has snap-fit parts 110 and positioning parts 120 on its opposite side walls, and snap-fit parts 210 and positioning parts 220 are correspondingly provided on the side walls of the bottom box 200. Specifically, the snap-fit parts 110, positioning parts 120, snap-fit parts 210, and positioning parts 220 on the opposite side walls of the upper cover 100 and the bottom box 200 improve the connection stability between the upper cover 100 and the bottom box 200 and ensure the packaging effect of the foam bullets.
[0038] Furthermore, four snap-fit pieces 110 and four positioning pieces 120 are provided on the two longer opposite sidewalls of the upper cover 100. Two snap-fit pieces 110 and two positioning pieces 120 are provided on one longer sidewall of the upper cover 100. Matching snap-fit parts 210 and positioning parts 220 are provided on the corresponding longer sidewalls of the bottom box 200. The diameter of the recessed unit 170 on the two longer opposite sidewalls is larger than that on the two shorter opposite sidewalls.
[0039] Specifically, by providing matching snap-fit and positioning structures only on the longer, opposite side walls, the locking and packaging effect of the top cover 100 and the bottom box 200 can be ensured, reducing unnecessary snap-fit and positioning designs and saving costs. Because the recessed unit 170 on the long side wall has a larger diameter, it ensures the production precision and connection stability of the snap-fit and positioning structures, reduces processing difficulty, and allows for the storage of an additional row of foam bullets, ensuring the compactness of the bullets. Preferably, two snap-fit pieces 110 are located at both ends of the long side wall of the top cover 100, and two positioning pieces 120 are located in the middle of the long side wall of the top cover 100. Specifically, the positioning pieces 120 and positioning parts 220 are located in the middle to limit the long side wall and prevent displacement, while the snap-fit pieces 110 and snap-fit parts 210 at both ends lock the edges of the long and short side walls, maximizing the stability of the connection between the top cover 100 and the bottom box 200 and preventing loosening.
[0040] Furthermore, the top cover 100 and the bottom box 200 are provided with a snap-fit connector 110 and a groove 140 on the two opposite sidewall mating surfaces of the snap-fit part 210, and a sticker 141 is provided on the groove 140. Specifically, the groove 140 design effectively prevents fingernails from damaging the appearance of the sticker 141 when moving the storage box; the sticker 141 is also provided on the two opposite sidewalls, so opening either side of the top cover 100 will damage the sticker 141 and leave a mark, which serves as a warning and enhances the anti-theft effect.
[0041] Furthermore, the opening of the upper cover 100 is provided with a stepped hole 130, which mates with the opening of the bottom box 200. Specifically, the opening of the bottom box 200 fits into the stepped hole 130, ensuring a tight fit between the bottom box 200 and the upper cover 100 and enhancing the closure's stability. Preferably, the straight-line distance from the free endpoints of the four corners of the top of the stepped hole 130 to the sidewall is greater than the straight-line distance from the free endpoints of the top side to the sidewall. Specifically, increasing the contact area between the four corners of the bottom box 200 and the four corners of the stepped hole 130 enhances the support effect and effectively prevents the upper cover 100 and the bottom box 200 from misaligning and collapsing when closed.
[0042] Furthermore, the top surface of the cover 100 is provided with a downwardly recessed cavity 150, and the four sides of the cavity 150 are provided with bent plates 152 extending upward. The bent plates 152 include a suspended top plate 153, which is located above the cavity 150. Specifically, the cavity 150 is used to store packaging color cards. Because the top plate 153 is located above the cavity 150, the bent plates 152 provided around the cavity 150 fix the color cards.
[0043] Furthermore, the cavity 150 is provided with the same number of through slots 151 as the bending plate 152, and the through slots 151 are located at the position where the top plate 153 is projected onto the cavity 150. Specifically, when the packaging color card is placed in the cavity 150, the top plate 153 presses the color card to the through slot 151, which enhances the limiting effect of the color card and keeps the color card flat, preventing the color card from easily falling out of the cavity 150 when the top cover 100 moves.
[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
