Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of box technology, specifically to a fun candy storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Candy boxes are containers used to store candy and prevent it from being contaminated by external impurities, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the candy when consumed. Candy boxes sold on the market come in various shapes, but their structure mainly consists of a box body and a lid. While they serve the purpose of holding granular candy, most candy boxes are opaque or have labels affixed to their surfaces, making it difficult for consumers to quickly and clearly see whether the box contains candy, causing inconvenience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fun candy storage box with a reasonable structural design that allows for quick and easy identification of whether there is candy inside.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A fun candy storage box includes a box body with a storage cavity, a lid that can close the opening of the storage cavity, a base, and supporting levers. The base has a floating cavity, and a plurality of supporting levers are distributed around the periphery of the floating cavity. The middle part of each supporting lever is hinged to the cavity wall of the floating cavity. One end of each supporting lever extends into the floating cavity to form a supporting end, and the other end extends out of the floating cavity and is provided with a counterweight. The box body is placed on the supporting end, so that the two ends of the supporting lever are roughly balanced.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the supporting ends of several supporting rocker arms form an annular area. The annular area can distribute the force evenly, avoiding tilting or instability of the box during placement and improving the stability of the box.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a conical boss is formed by a downward protrusion at the middle of the bottom surface of the box body. The conical boss is located within the annular area. A guide post is provided at the edge of the bottom surface of the box body. The base is provided with a guide hole. The stability of the box body floating up and down is improved by the cooperation between the guide post and the guide hole.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the supporting end extends upward at an angle, which can better adapt to the bottom shape of the box.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the counterweights on each supporting rocker arm may have the same or different shapes. For example, the counterweights may be shaped like animal feet, animal tails, or animal heads. This provides greater flexibility and personalization options for candy box design. Different counterweight shapes can enhance the fun and aesthetics of the candy box, satisfying the diverse aesthetic needs of consumers and making the candy box more attractive.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the animal head includes a movable head shell and upper and lower jaw shells. The movable head shell is fixed to the supporting rocker arm, and the upper and lower jaw shells are located on the movable head shell, with the tail hinged to the movable head shell. When the supporting rocker arm experiences a change in force, the movable head shell lifts upward, while the upper and lower jaw shells remain stationary under gravity, thus allowing the upper and lower jaw shells to protrude from the bottom of the movable head shell, creating an open-mouthed appearance, which is more interesting.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The structure of this utility model is rationally designed. The supporting end of the supporting lever supports the box body, and the weight of the box body and lid is balanced by the counterweight component through the lever principle. When there is candy inside the box, the supporting end of the supporting lever experiences increased force, disrupting the original balance. The supporting end of the supporting lever sinks, forcing the counterweight component on the other end of the supporting lever to rise. This provides a direct and quick indication to the consumer that there is candy inside the box, effectively solving the problem of traditional candy boxes making it difficult to visually determine whether there is candy inside. Furthermore, after the candy is eaten, it can also be used as a stress-relieving toy. Pressing the lid forces the box body downwards, similarly achieving the effect of the counterweight component rising.

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0019] See Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a fun candy storage box, which includes a box body 1, a lid 2, a base 3, and a support lever 4. The box body 1 has a storage cavity 11, and the lid 2 adopts a flip-top structure, that is, the lid 2 is set on one side of the storage cavity 11 through a hinge shaft, and can be flipped to close the opening of the storage cavity 11.

[0020] The base 3 is provided with a floating cavity 31, and a number of supporting rocker arms 4 are distributed around the periphery of the floating cavity 31, with the middle part of each supporting rocker arm 4 hinged to the cavity wall of the floating cavity 31.

[0021] One end of the supporting rocker arm 4 extends into the floating cavity 31 to form a supporting end 41. Preferably, the supporting end 41 extends upward at an angle of about 30 degrees. The supporting ends 41 of several supporting rocker arms 4 form an annular area. The annular area can distribute the force evenly, avoiding tilting or instability of the box 1 during placement and improving the placement stability of the box 1.

[0022] The other end of the supporting rocker arm 4 extends outside the floating cavity 31 and is equipped with a counterweight component 5. In this embodiment, taking the overall shape as a turtle as an example, there are six supporting rocker arms 4. The counterweight components 5 on the left and right sides of the supporting rocker arm 4 are shaped like turtle feet, the counterweight component 5 on the tail end of the supporting rocker arm 4 is shaped like a turtle tail, and the counterweight component 5 on the front end of the supporting rocker arm 4 is shaped like a turtle head. Specifically, the turtle head includes a movable head shell and upper and lower jaw shells. The movable head shell is fixed to the supporting rocker arm 4, and the upper and lower jaw shells are located on the movable head shell, with the tail hinged to the movable head shell. When the force on the supporting rocker arm 4 changes, the movable head shell lifts upward, while the upper and lower jaw shells remain stationary under the action of gravity, thus allowing the upper and lower jaw shells to protrude from the bottom of the movable head shell, presenting an open mouth action, which is more interesting. In other embodiments, the counterweight component 5 can also be in the shape of other types of animal feet, animal tails, or animal heads, so that the whole thing presents the corresponding type of movement, providing more flexibility and personalized options for the design of the candy box, to meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers and make the candy box more attractive.

[0023] The box body 1 is placed on the supporting end 41. Preferably, the bottom surface of the box body 1 has a conical protrusion 12 that protrudes downward from the middle position. The conical protrusion 12 is located in the annular area. A guide post is provided at the bottom edge of the box body 1. The base 3 is provided with a guide hole 32. The stability of the box body 1 floating up and down is improved by the cooperation between the guide post and the guide hole 32.

[0024] After the box body 1 is placed on the supporting end 41, the forces on both ends of the supporting rocker arm 4 are roughly balanced; that is, the weight of the box body 1 and the lid 2 is roughly equal to the sum of the weights of all the counterweight components 5, thus achieving a balance between the weight of the box body 1 and the lid 2 and the sum of the counterweight components 5.

[0025] When there is no candy 7 in box 1, see Figure 1 The rocker arm 4 automatically returns to its initial balanced state, meaning the turtle's feet, tail, and head are all flat.

[0026] In practical use, it is best used to store single, heavier candies, as the feedback will be more noticeable. For example, when there is candy 7 inside the box 1, the supporting end of the rocker arm 4 experiences increased force. The original balance is broken, and the supporting end 41 of the rocker arm 4 sinks, which in turn forces the counterweight 5 on the other end of the rocker arm 4 to lift up, making it look like a turtle's legs, tail, and head are all raised. The opening of the mouth is accompanied by the movement of the head shell as it lifts up, making it more interesting and allowing consumers to intuitively and quickly know that there is candy inside the box.

[0027] After the candy is finished, this novel fun candy storage box can also be used as a stress-relieving toy. By pressing the lid, the box body is forced to move downwards, which in turn causes the counterweight to lift up, making the turtle's feet, tail, and head all lift up. When the movable head shell is lifted up, it is accompanied by an open mouth effect. When released, the turtle's feet, tail, and head automatically return to their original positions. Repeated pressing provides a certain degree of entertainment and stress relief.

[0028] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model. As described in the above embodiments of this utility model, other box structures obtained using the same or similar structures are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
