Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of storage box technology, and specifically relates to a multi-layer composite clay storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Toys are indispensable companions for children during their growth period. Play-Doh is an educational toy with creative shapes that can greatly develop children's imagination and enhance their divergent thinking, making it very popular with parents and children. Play-Doh comes in a variety of types and colors depending on its material and manufacturing process. It also comes in different types with varying degrees of stickiness to avoid the problem of play-Doh sticking to other objects and making it difficult to store and clean. Therefore, various storage boxes have been launched on the market to address the storage problem of play-Doh.

[0003] A search revealed that existing technology CN221273946U is a clay toy storage box. In this design, the first and second lids are locked together by mutual attraction of a first and second magnetic strip. A spring at the bottom pushes the storage plate upwards to eject the clay. Analysis shows that, firstly, the magnetic locking method itself lacks stability. For example, if the box is accidentally knocked over, bumped, or dropped from a height, the first or second lid may open, causing the clay to scatter. Secondly, the bottom spring provides upward thrust; if the box contains a large amount of clay, the spring will push the clay against the lid, compressing it and further reducing the magnetic force locking the lid. Thirdly, the box must be held with both hands and face up to prevent the lid from accidentally opening and causing the clay to fall out.

[0004] A clay toy storage box with announcement number CN216762800U also uses a magnetic method to lock the lid, which has the same drawbacks as mentioned above.

[0005] Therefore, in response to the above-mentioned drawbacks, the applicant has proposed a new type of storage box solution. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a multi-layer composite clay storage box. It can not only achieve the effect of classified storage by stacking multiple boxes, but also achieve a stable locking effect between boxes and between boxes and lids by inserting a plate into a slot and snapping the first buckle into the second buckle.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A multi-layered composite clay storage box includes a lid, a box body, a handle, and a buckle. The handle is located on the lid, and the buckle is located on the box body. The box body has several layers that are stacked on top of each other. Adjacent box bodies are interlocked and secured by the buckle. The lid is located on the top of the box body and is inserted into the box body and secured by the buckle.

[0009] The top of the cover is provided with a first mounting groove for installing a handle; the bottom of the cover is provided with an annular groove, one side of the annular groove is provided with a recessed groove, an insert plate is provided in the recessed groove, one side of the cover is provided with a first groove, a fixing block is provided in the first groove, and a second fastening strip is provided on the fixing block.

[0010] The bottom of the box is also provided with an annular groove, and a recessed groove is provided on one side of the annular groove. An insert plate is provided in the recessed groove. An insertion frame is provided on the inner wall of the box. The insertion frame is located above the recessed groove and has a slot. A second groove is provided on one side of the box. A fixing block is provided in the second groove. A first pin is provided on the side wall of the second groove.

[0011] The buckle is located in the second groove, and the buckle has second mounting grooves on both sides to fit the first pin. The buckle has a first buckle strip, and the bottom of one side of the buckle is set as an arc surface so that the buckle can rotate smoothly around the first pin as the axis, avoiding interference with the side wall of the box.

[0012] The handle is provided with a second pin at both ends. The second pin is rotatably connected to the cover so that the handle can rotate and be stored in the first mounting groove.

[0013] Preferably, the first mounting groove has a notch to facilitate gripping the handle and applying force when lifting the handle.

[0014] Preferably, the handle is provided with a gripping adapter groove, which makes it easy to grip when taking out the storage box and improves the comfort of the hand when pulling.

[0015] Preferably, one side of the buckle is provided with a through groove aligned with the first buckle strip, allowing easy observation of the engagement between the first and second buckle strips through the through groove.

[0016] Preferably, the buckle has a buckle plate at the top to facilitate the smooth engagement and disengagement of the buckle.

[0017] Preferably, the port of the slot is chamfered to facilitate the oblique insertion of the plug-in plate, making the insertion smoother.

[0018] Preferably, the length of the settling tank is set to 2 / 3 to 3 / 4 of the length of the box.

[0019] Preferably, the second groove is provided with multiple sets of mounting buckles, which can provide sufficient support when adjacent boxes are installed, and prevent the boxes from opening due to violent shaking when the storage box is carried.

[0020] Preferably, the box body and the cover are rounded at all four corners to avoid the disadvantage of right angles that could easily scratch the human body.

[0021] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0022] 1) This storage box uses a multi-layered stacking design to achieve multi-level storage, which firstly greatly increases the storage capacity. Furthermore, the number of boxes can be increased to expand the storage space or decreased to reduce the overall volume, making the storage space versatile. Secondly, the independent storage of multiple layers allows for the categorization and storage of different colors or other types of clay, preventing mixing and ensuring quick and easy access. Finally, the storage box features a handle that can be easily lifted with one hand, making it convenient to use and easy to store after use.

[0023] 2) The connection between the boxes and between the box and the lid is achieved by inserting the plate into the slot, and then using the first buckle on the buckle to engage with the second buckle on the fixing block to achieve a snap-fit ​​fixation. This connection method is secure and easy to retrieve, avoiding the drawbacks of using magnetic locking of the lid mentioned in the background technology. Attached Figure Description
