Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household product storage technology, specifically relating to a shoe storage box. Background Technology
[0002] Most people own many pairs of shoes, making shoe storage an essential part of daily life. Although shoes usually come with a box, there's a significant difference between boxes from different brands. Furthermore, most shoe boxes are top-and-bottom lid designs without a transparent window. This makes it difficult to find shoes when multiple boxes are stacked together, as the different sizes and styles create an unsightly mess. Therefore, various shoe boxes have been designed for everyday shoe storage. Paper drawer-style shoe boxes and transparent plastic shoe boxes are the most popular. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Paper shoe boxes are inexpensive but have limited pressure resistance, are easily deformed, and can affect drawer access. Also, individual shoe boxes are not connected or secured when stacked, making them prone to tipping over with slight external force. Additionally, the small transparent window makes finding shoes less convenient than with plastic shoe boxes. While plastic shoe boxes offer better overall performance than paper boxes, they are more expensive. A decent plastic shoe box can cost two to three times, or even four to five times, more than a paper drawer-style shoe box. To address the aforementioned issues, the applicant, combining the advantages and disadvantages of paper drawer-style shoe boxes and transparent plastic shoe boxes, proposes this utility model of a shoe storage box. This box combines corrugated cardboard and plastic materials, maximizing advantages and minimizing disadvantages, providing users with an affordable and practical shoe box and improving user satisfaction. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A shoe storage box, including a box body and door frame accessories, characterized in that the box body is made of corrugated cardboard and is composed of an outer box body 1, an inner box body 2, a partition 3, and a concave-convex pad 4. The outer box body 1 has interlocking plates 106 on its four sides (top, bottom, left, and right), so that two adjacent shoe boxes can be interlocked and fixed together, so that multiple shoe boxes stacked together form a whole, thus bringing better stability. The inner box body 2 has long strip grooves extending into the box body at the left and right hanging ears of the door panel. When the shoe box needs ventilation, the door panel can be pushed into the box body along the grooves. The door frame accessories are made of plastic and include a door frame 5 and a door panel 6. The door frame 5 is fixed to the corresponding holes of the box body by upper and lower pins 501. The door panel 6 is made of transparent plastic sheet, so that the contents can be easily seen through the door panel 6. The door panel 6 is fixed to the door frame by its own left and right hanging ears 601.
[0004] Furthermore, the box body is reinforced with an outer box body 1 and an inner box body 2, which are overlapped in a double layer. The outer box body 1 has a bendable rear outer cover plate 101 and rear left and right inner cover plates 102 on the rear side. The three are bent and overlapped to form the rear baffle of the box body. The four sides of the outer box 1 are equipped with semi-circular interlocking plates 106. Specifically, a semi-circular groove is die-cut to the right at the center line where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect in the center of each side. The resulting semi-circular plate is the interlocking plate 106, and the semi-circular groove is the interlocking plate groove 1061. The diameter of the semi-circle is 6 cm, and the width of the groove is 1 cm. The direction of the semi-circles is arranged in a cycle, that is, the upper semi-circular plate of the outer box 1 faces to the right, the right semi-circular plate faces down, the lower semi-circular plate faces to the left, and the left semi-circular plate faces up (the direction of the semi-circles can also be completely reversed, just arranged in a cycle). When two shoe boxes are close together, the semi-circular plates of the two adjacent sides face each other. When the vertices of the two semi-circular plates are close together, one semi-circular plate is gently pressed into the groove of the other semi-circular plate from the inside of the box and pushed into the box. The two semi-circular plates will then interlock and fix the two shoe boxes together. This process is repeated, and all the shoe boxes stacked together are fixed together as a whole, thus bringing better stability.
[0005] Furthermore, the inner box body 2 has no baffles at the front or back, resembling a horizontally placed frame inserted into the outer box body 1. Its four sides are tightly against the inner wall of the outer box body 1. The upper front inward folding plate 103, the lower front inward folding plate 104, and the left and right front inward folding plates 105 of the outer box body 1 fold inward to cover the inner box body 2, providing further reinforcement and support. At this time, the upper insertion hole 1031 of the upper front inward folding plate and the lower insertion hole 1041 of the lower front inward folding plate are respectively... The upper insertion hole 2011 and lower insertion hole 2012 of the door frame cover the inner box body 2; on the left and right sides of the inner box body 2, at the height of the left and right hanging ears 601 of the door panel 6, long strip-shaped left and right grooves 202 of the inner box body extend parallel to the inside of the box. The length of the left and right grooves 202 of the inner box body is close to the height of the door panel 6. When the door panel 6 needs to be opened for a long time to ventilate the shoe box, it can be pushed into the box body along the left and right grooves without affecting the opening and closing of other shoe boxes.
[0006] Furthermore, the height of a shoebox can accommodate two pairs of shoes of regular height or a pair of high-top ankle boots at once. The function of the divider 3 is to separate the internal space of the shoebox into upper and lower layers when two layers of regular shoes need to be placed. The concave-convex pad 4 is made by bending cardboard into a wave shape through multiple V-shapes to minimize the contact area between the sole of the shoe and the pad. The purpose is to take into account that the soles of shoes worn on rainy days may be wet, and the suspended soles are easier to dry.
[0007] Furthermore, the door frame accessories include a door frame 5 and a door panel 6. The door frame 5 has upper and lower pins 501 and left and right ear holes 502. The upper and lower pins 501 are inserted into the upper and lower pin holes of the door frame and fixed to the front of the box body, which serves to support the box body and fix the door panel 6. The left and right ear holes 502 are C-shaped, forward-protruding semi-circular holes with no sealing on the inside. The height is the same as the height of the left and right grooves 202 of the inner box body. The left and right hanging ears 601 of the door panel 6 can be pushed from the left and right ear holes 502 all the way to the depth of the left and right grooves 202 of the inner box body. The door panel 6 is made of transparent plastic material, so the contents of the box can be easily seen through the door panel 6. The door panel 6 can be lifted up or pushed further along the left and right grooves 202 to hide inside the box body.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The combination of cardboard and plastic materials reduces costs while improving the support of the box; 2. The design of snap-on cardboard plates fixes the stacked individual shoe boxes together into a whole, resulting in better stability; 3. Considering the ventilation requirements of the shoe boxes, the design includes a door opening method that can be opened for a long time without taking up space and concave-convex pads that reduce the contact between the sole and the bottom plate, resulting in better practicality.
