For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part of a structure. They can be mechanical or electrical connections. They can be direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and can represent 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 based on the specific circumstances.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a storage box, including a first box body 100, a second box body 200, and a positioning member 400.
[0036] The first box 100 has a first cavity 110 at its top, which is arranged along its length, and the second box 200 has a second cavity 210 at its top. Specifically, the first cavity 110 is used to hold chopsticks, and the second cavity 210 is used to hold other tableware, such as spoons.
[0037] The second box 200 is movably connected to the first box 100 through a connecting structure. The second box 200 can be stretched or contracted along the length of the first box 100 to adjust the length of the second cavity 210, so as to accommodate the placement of tableware of different sizes, make reasonable use of space, and improve space utilization.
[0038] The inner bottom walls of the first cavity 110 and the second cavity 210 are respectively provided with a first hole 120 and a second hole 220. The first hole 120 and the second hole 220 correspond to each other. At least two second holes 220 are provided at intervals along the extension and retraction direction of the second box 200. Specifically, both the first hole 120 and the second hole 220 are waist-shaped. The second hole 220 is preferably set to four, that is, the second cavity 210 has four adjustable lengths.
[0039] The positioning component 400 is preferably a plastic positioning component 400. The positioning component 400 passes through the second hole 220 and engages with the first hole 120. After adjusting the length of the second box body 200, it is positioned by the positioning component 400 to fix different stretching lengths, ensure structural stability during use, and avoid accidental sliding that would affect use.
[0040] In one embodiment, the connecting structure is a movable groove 300 formed on the outer side of the long sidewall of the first box 100. The opening of the movable groove 300 is downward and its width gradually decreases from top to bottom. The second cavity 210 is opened at one end facing the first box 100. The long sidewall of the second box 200 can extend into the movable groove 300 and is adapted to the movable groove 300. Specifically, the upper ends of the two long sidewalls of the first box 100 are bent outward and downward to form a bent wall 130. The movable groove 300 is formed between the bent wall 130 and the long sidewall of the first box 100. The long sidewall of the second box 200 is movably connected to the movable groove 300, thereby realizing the stretching or contraction of the second box 200. The width of the movable groove 300 gradually decreases from top to bottom, which can reduce shaking and improve stability.
[0041] In one embodiment, the bottom of the bent wall 130 is lower than the bottom of the first box 100, and the long sidewall of the second box 200 extends downward, with the bottom of the long sidewall of the second box 200 flush with the bottom of the bent wall 130. This creates a gap between the bottoms of both the first box 100 and the second box 200 and the plane, preventing the boxes from directly contacting the plane in a humid environment and reducing water accumulation and stain adhesion. Furthermore, a drain hole 140 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the first cavity 110. The drain hole 140 and the first hole 120 are spaced apart along the length of the first box 100, and the first hole 120 is located close to the second box 200. The drain hole 140 facilitates the drainage of water accumulated in the first cavity 110. Since there are multiple second holes 220, one of them is connected to the positioning member 400, and the remaining second holes 220 can be used for drainage to prevent water accumulation in the second cavity 210. The gap facilitates drainage through the drain hole 140 and the second hole 220, improving drainage efficiency.
[0042] In one embodiment, a reinforcing rib 310 is provided in the movable groove 300. The reinforcing rib 310 connects the bent wall 130 and the first box body 100 to ensure the stability of the bent wall 130.
[0043] In one embodiment, the inner bottom wall of the first cavity 110 is recessed downward to form two guide walls 150 extending along its length and inclined downward. The first hole 120 and the drain hole 140 are disposed between the two guide walls 150 to guide the liquid in the cavity to flow quickly to the drain hole 140 between the two guide walls 150, thereby further improving the drainage efficiency. Furthermore, the inner bottom wall of the second cavity 210 has the same shape as the inner bottom wall of the first cavity 110, that is, it has the same drainage efficiency.
[0044] In one embodiment, the bottom of the positioning member 400 is provided with an outwardly extending brim 410, which can fit against the bottom of the second box 200. The brim 410 facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the positioning member 400.
[0045] 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.
