Detailed Implementation

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a spherical storage box, including: a box body 1 and a cover body 2. The box body 1 is provided with a notch 12 to cover the cover body 2, and the edge of the notch 12 is provided with a ring of mounting protrusions.

[0040] In this embodiment, the box body 1 is assembled from several assembly blocks 11, and each assembly block 11 has a protrusion 111 and a groove 112 on its circumference. The assembly blocks 11 are engaged with each other by the protrusions 111 and the grooves 112. Furthermore, the mounting protrusion is composed of protrusions 111 on one side of several assembly blocks 11 circumferentially ...

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the cover 2 includes: cover plate 21, bolt 22, stop block 23 and connector 24. The shape of cover plate 21 is the same as the shape of notch 12 of box 1, and bolt 22 passes through stop block 23 and cover plate 21 in sequence. Connector 24 is fixed to the tail of bolt 22, restricting stop block 23 and cover plate 21 between bolt 22 and connector 24.

[0042] Combination Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the cover plate 21 has a mounting platform 211 on the side connected to the box body 1. The mounting platform 211 and the inner side of the cover plate 21 form a stepped surface. When the cover plate 21 is closed with the notch 12 of the box body 1, the mounting protrusion is placed on the mounting platform 211 and contacts the stepped surface.

[0043] When the box body 1 is connected to the cover body 2, the stop block 23 is engaged from the inner cavity of the box body 1 at the notch 12 of the box body 1. By rotating the connector 24, the bolt 22 moves into the inner cavity of the box body 1, clamping the cover plate 21 and the stop block 23 at the notch 12 of the box body 1, so that the cover body 2 and the box body 1 are tightly connected.

[0044] In this embodiment, a first bolt mounting hole 212 is provided in the center of the cover plate 21. The bolt 22 passes through the first bolt mounting hole 212, and the inner diameter of the first bolt mounting hole 212 is larger than the diameter of the bolt 22, so that the bolt 22 can be tilted when the cover is opened, so that the stop block 23 can be disengaged from the inner cavity of the box body 1.

[0045] Secondly, the end of the connector 24 is a bolt connecting sleeve 241. The inner diameter of the bolt connecting sleeve 241 is the same as that of the bolt 22, so that the tail of the bolt 22 is fixed in the bolt connecting sleeve 241. The outer diameter of the bolt connecting sleeve 241 is the same as that of the inner diameter of the first bolt mounting hole 212, so that the bolt connecting sleeve 241 can be inserted into the first bolt mounting hole 212.

[0046] The connector 24 has a baffle 242 at the bottom end of the bolt connection sleeve 241. The diameter of the baffle 242 is larger than the inner diameter of the first bolt mounting hole 212, so that the cover plate 21 is restricted between the bolt 22 and the connector 24. When the cover is closed, the baffle 242 and the stop block 23 clamp the cover plate 21, so that the cover plate 21 is tightly connected to the box body 1.

[0047] Furthermore, the center of the stop block 23 is provided with a second bolt mounting hole 231, through which the bolt 22 passes, and the interior of the second bolt mounting hole 231 is provided with threads (not shown in the figure) so that the stop block 23 can be fixed on the bolt 22.

[0048] In this embodiment, the cover 2 further includes a gasket 25, which is fitted onto the bolt 22 and located between the cover plate 21 and the baffle 241 to prevent damage to the cover plate 21 when the baffle 241 is clamped. Meanwhile, the other end of the connector 24 is provided with a force-applying ring 243 to facilitate applying force when rotating the bolt 22.

[0049] Secondly, combining Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the spherical storage box is shaped like a soccer ball. The box body 1 is assembled from several pentagonal assembly blocks 113 and hexagonal assembly blocks 114. The shape of the cover plate 21 is the same as that of the pentagonal assembly block 113. In other embodiments, the shape of the baffle 21 may also be the same as that of the hexagonal assembly block 114.

[0050] The pentagonal assembly block 113 has grooves 112 around its circumference, and the hexagonal assembly block 114 has protrusions 111 and grooves 112 around its circumference. The pentagonal assembly block 113 and the hexagonal assembly block 114, as well as the hexagonal assembly block 114, are joined together by the protrusions 111 and the grooves 112. During the assembly, the sealing of the box body 1 can be further enhanced by adding sealant to the joint.

[0051] Meanwhile, since the shape of the cover plate 21 is the same as that of the pentagonal assembly block 113, the mounting protrusion at the notch 12 of the box body 1 is composed of the protrusion 111 on one side of the hexagonal assembly block around the notch 12.

[0052] In addition, the spherical storage box also includes a base 3, the top of which is curved to support the box body 1. The top of the base 3 is also provided with a groove 31, so that when the cover 2 is placed on the base 3 after being closed, the connector 24 on the cover 2 is placed in the groove 31.

[0053] Combination Figures 9 to 13 As shown, the specific opening and closing method of this utility model is as follows:

[0054] When opening the lid, first hold the lid 2 downwards with one hand, and with the other hand grasp the end of the connector 24 while pulling downwards and rotating it. Due to the downward pulling force, the stop 23 continues to be engaged at the notch 12 of the box 1. At this time, the bolt 22 rotates and moves downwards under the drive of the connector 24. When the head of the bolt 22 contacts the stop 23, it means that the bolt 22 has been fully rotated, and the lid 21 and the stop 23 are no longer clamped at the notch 12 of the box 1. At this time, you can grasp the end of the connector 24 and push it upwards to make the stop 23 disengage from the notch 12 of the box. Then tilt the lid 2 to make the stop 23 disengage from the inner cavity of the box 1.

[0055] When closing the lid, the sequence is the reverse of opening the lid. First, tilt the lid 2 so that the stop 23 enters the inner cavity of the box 1. Then, grasp the end of the connector 24 and pull it downward so that the stop 23 is engaged at the notch 12 of the box 1. At the same time, rotate the connector 24 to move the bolt 22 upward until the bolt 22 is fully rotated. At this point, the lid 21 and the stop 23 are clamped together at the notch 12 of the box 1.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
