Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Boxes are containers with a wide range of applications, suitable for different fields and scenarios. Examples include refrigerated food containers, pharmaceutical packaging boxes, and pet food containers.

[0003] Currently, the assembly methods of the box body and lid on the market mainly fall into two categories: First, the lid can be flipped open and closed on one side using a rotating component. While this facilitates the loading and unloading of items, it cannot achieve complete separation, making it inconvenient for deep cleaning or scenarios requiring the retrieval of large quantities of items. Second, the lid and body can be detachably assembled using a locking component. While this ensures a seal and facilitates the retrieval of large quantities of items, it only allows for two states: the box body and lid are completely separated, and the box body and lid are completely locked. It cannot accommodate the single-sided flip-open state of the lid. In short, existing boxes cannot flexibly switch between three states: single-sided lid rotation, complete separation of the lid and body, and locking of both sides of the lid and body. This fails to meet the diverse needs of users for the same box in different usage scenarios, resulting in significant deficiencies in functional adaptability and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology by providing a box that has the advantages of simple structure, safety and reliability, ability to meet the needs of various scenarios, and good user experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a box, comprising:

[0006] The box body has an internal cavity;

[0007] The lid is detachably mounted on the box body; and

[0008] Locking components; at least two sets of locking components are provided, and are respectively assembled between the two sides of the box body and the two sides of the box lid;

[0009] The locking component has three states. In the first state, both sides of the lid are locked to the box body. In the second state, one side of the lid can be rotated open relative to the box body. In the third state, the lid can be detached from the box body.

[0010] The present invention further provides that the locking components are provided in four sets; two sets of the locking components are provided between the box body and the box cover on the same side.

[0011] The present invention further provides that the locking component includes: a locking sleeve and a locking shaft detachably mounted on the side of the box body near the box cover and having a through hole; the side of the box cover near the box body has a locking groove for inserting one end of the locking shaft and communicating with the through hole; the locking shaft is movably mounted between the locking groove and the through hole.

[0012] When the locking shafts between the two sides of the box body and the two sides of the box cover move toward the locking groove or toward a direction away from the locking groove so that one end of the locking shafts on both sides is either placed into the locking groove or disengaged from the locking groove, the locking assembly is in the first state or the third state.

[0013] When one side of the locking shaft moves toward the locking groove and the other side of the locking shaft moves away from the locking groove, such that one side of the locking shaft is inserted into the locking groove and the other side of the locking shaft is disengaged from the locking groove, the locking assembly is in the second state.

[0014] The present invention further provides that the locking sleeve has a guide protrusion extending toward the locking shaft at one end away from the locking groove and on the side facing the locking shaft; the locking shaft has a guide groove that cooperates with the guide protrusion.

[0015] The present invention further includes a handle fixedly mounted on the locking shaft on one side and protruding at the other end in a direction away from the locking shaft; the locking sleeve has a travel opening for limiting the travel of the handle.

[0016] The present invention further includes, in that the locking component, a limiting protrusion disposed between the locking shaft and the side of the handle near the locking shaft;

[0017] The locking sleeve has a limiting port for engaging with the limiting protrusion and communicating with the travel port.

[0018] The present invention further provides that the limiting port is provided in multiple directions away from the locking groove.

[0019] The present invention further includes a first buckle portion on the box body; an insertion channel communicating with the through hole is provided on the side of the locking sleeve that is detachably assembled with the box body; and a second buckle portion that cooperates with the first buckle portion is provided on the inner wall of the insertion channel.

[0020] The present invention is further provided that the box cover has multiple mesh holes.

[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: In this utility model, by changing the state of the locking components assembled between the two sides of the box body and the two sides of the lid, the connection method between the lid and the box body is changed; it can not only lock the lid onto the box body, but also allow the lid to rotate and open relative to the box body on one side, and also allow the lid to be detached from the box body, thus improving the flexibility of use, meeting the user's needs in different scenarios, and enhancing the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0038] This embodiment relates to a box, as shown in the reference. Figures 1-6 The system includes a box body 100, a lid 200, and a locking assembly 300. The box body 100 has a receiving cavity 110. The lid 200 is detachably mounted on the box body 100. At least two sets of locking assemblies 300 are provided, respectively mounted between the two sides of the box body 100 and the two sides of the lid 200. The locking assemblies 300 have three states: in the first state, the two sides of the lid 200 are locked to the box body 100; in the second state, one side of the lid 200 can be rotated open relative to the box body 100; and in the third state, the lid 200 can be detached relative to the box body 100. Specifically, the receiving cavity 110 is for users to place items or keep pets. By changing the state of the locking components 300 assembled between the two sides of the box body 100 and the two sides of the lid 200, the connection method between the lid 200 and the box body 100 can be changed. This allows the lid 200 to be locked onto the box body 100, or to rotate and open one side of the lid 200 relative to the box body 100, or to be detached from the box body 100. This improves the flexibility of use, meets the user's needs in different scenarios, and enhances the user experience. The overall structure is simple, safe, and reliable.

[0039] Furthermore, four sets of locking components 300 are provided; two sets of locking components 300 are provided between the box body 100 and the box lid 200 on the same side to ensure a more stable connection and fit between the box lid 200 and the box body 100. In this embodiment, the locking components 300 are provided on the front and rear sides of the box body 100 and the box lid 200, wherein two sets of locking components 300 are provided between the front side of the box body 100 and the front side of the box lid 200, and two sets of locking components 300 are provided between the rear sides of the box body 100 and the rear side of the box body 100. In some embodiments, the locking components 300 may also be provided on the left and right sides of the box body 100 and the box lid 200.

[0040] Furthermore, referring to Figures 6-10 The locking assembly 300 includes a locking sleeve 310 and a locking shaft 320. The locking sleeve 310 is detachably mounted on the side of the box body 100 near the box cover 200 and is provided with a through hole 311. The side of the box cover 200 near the box body 100 has a locking groove 220 for inserting one end of the locking shaft 320 and communicating with the through hole 311. The locking shaft 320 is movably mounted between the locking groove 220 and the through hole 311. When the locking shafts 320 between both sides of the box body 100 and both sides of the box cover 200 move towards the locking groove 220 or away from the locking groove 220, so that one end of each locking shaft 320 is either inserted into or disengaged from the locking groove 220, the locking assembly 300 is in the first or third state. When one locking shaft 320 moves towards the locking groove 220 and the other locking shaft 320 moves away from the locking groove 220, so that one locking shaft 320 is inserted into the locking groove 220 and the other locking shaft 320 is disengaged from the locking groove 220, the locking assembly 300 is in the second state. Specifically, the locking shaft 320 is axially slidably mounted between the locking groove 220 and the through hole 311.

[0041] Reference Figures 1-3 as well as Figure 9When the user needs to lock the lid 200 to the body 100 (corresponding to the first state of the locking component 300), the operation is as follows: The locking shafts 320 between both sides of the lid 200 and both sides of the body 100 are slid axially toward the locking grooves 220, so that one end of the locking shaft 320 is inserted into the locking grooves 220, and the other end is located in the through hole 311 of the locking sleeve 310. In this embodiment, that is: the locking shafts 320 on both the front and rear sides are slid axially toward the locking grooves 220 until one end of the locking shaft 320 is inserted into the locking grooves 220. Compared to traditional methods of locking the lid 200 using buckles or latches, the locking shaft 320 and locking sleeve 310 work together to lock the lid 200 onto the box body 100. This method is more convenient, secure, and reliable, preventing accidental unlocking of the lid 200 and loss of objects placed in the receiving cavity 110. It also prevents accidental unlocking of the lid 200 due to external forces generated by pets' activities when the user keeps pets in the receiving cavity 110.

[0042] Reference Figures 4-5 as well as Figure 8 When the user needs to rotate and open the lid 200 on one side (corresponding to the second state of the locking component 300), the operation is as follows: slide the locking shaft 320 on one side of the lid 200 and the box body 100 along the axial direction toward the locking groove 220 until one end of the locking shaft 320 on this side is placed in the locking groove 220 and the other end is located in the through hole 311 of the locking sleeve 310; then slide the locking shaft 320 on the other side of the lid 200 and the other side of the box body 100 along the axial direction away from the locking groove 220 until the end of the locking shaft 320 near the locking groove 220 is completely disengaged from the locking groove 220. At this time, this side of the lid 200 is the free side, and the user can rotate and open this side of the lid 200. In this embodiment, specifically, the rear locking shaft 320 is slid axially toward the locking groove 220 until one end of the locking shaft 320 is inserted into the locking groove 220; the front locking shaft 320 is slid axially away from the locking groove 220 until one end of the locking shaft 320 near the locking groove 220 is completely disengaged from the locking groove 220. At this time, the front cover 200 can be rotated open so that the user can take out the items in the accommodating cavity 110 or place the items in the accommodating cavity 110. Unlocking one side cover 200 is simple and convenient.

[0043] Reference Figure 6 as well as Figure 8When the user needs to remove the lid 200 from the box body 100 (corresponding to the third state of the locking component 300), the operation is as follows: Slide the locking shafts 320 between both sides of the lid 200 and both sides of the box body 100 axially away from the locking grooves 220, so that the ends of the locking shafts 320 on both sides near the locking grooves 220 are completely disengaged from the locking grooves 220. In this embodiment, that is: slide the locking shafts 320 on both the front and rear sides axially away from the locking grooves 220 until one end of the locking shafts 320 on both the front and rear sides is disengaged from the locking grooves 220. At this time, there is no connection between the sides of the lid 200 and the sides of the box body 100. Compared with other traditional methods of removing the lid 200, this method is simpler to operate and will not damage the lid 200, the box body 100, or the locking component 300, and has high reusability.

[0044] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 12 The locking sleeve 310 has a guide protrusion 410 extending towards the locking shaft 320 on the side away from the locking groove 220 and facing the locking shaft 320. The locking shaft 320 has a guide groove 420 that mates with the guide protrusion 410. The engagement of the guide protrusion 410 and the guide groove 420 facilitates the user's assembly of the locking sleeve 310 and the locking shaft 320 in a specific direction, preventing installation errors. Simultaneously, the engagement of the guide protrusion 410 and the guide groove also restricts the axial sliding of the locking shaft 320, preventing jamming caused by radial offset of the locking shaft 320.

[0045] Furthermore, referring to Figures 11-12 The locking assembly 300 further includes: a handle 510, one end of which is fixedly mounted on the locking shaft 320 and the other end protrudes away from the locking shaft 320; the locking sleeve 310 has a travel opening 520 for limiting the travel of the handle 510. Specifically, the handle 510 is fixedly mounted on the outward-facing side of the locking shaft 320, and the travel opening 520 is located on the outward-facing side of the locking sleeve 310. The handle 510 is designed for user convenience, allowing the user to control the sliding of the locking shaft 320 by sliding the handle 510. The travel opening 520 limits the sliding travel of the handle 510, preventing the locking shaft 320 from completely sliding out of the locking sleeve 310 axially.

[0046] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 12The locking assembly 300 further includes: a limiting protrusion 610 disposed between the locking shaft 320 and the side of the handle 510 near the locking shaft 320; and a limiting port 620 on the locking sleeve 310 for engaging with the limiting protrusion 610 and communicating with the travel port 520. When the locking shaft 320 slides to the set position, the limiting protrusion 610 and the limiting port 620 cooperate to limit the sliding of the locking shaft 320, preventing the locking shaft 320 from accidentally unlocking, which would then cause the lid 200 to unlock accidentally. The limiting protrusion 610 is made of elastic material, which can cooperate with the limiting port 620 to limit the sliding of the locking shaft 320, while not restricting the normal sliding of the locking shaft 320 under user operation.

[0047] Furthermore, referring to Figures 11-12 Multiple limiting ports 620 are provided along the direction away from the locking groove 220. Specifically, there are two limiting ports 620. The limiting port 620 closer to the locking groove 220 is used to lock the locking shaft 320 when one end of the sliding locking shaft 320 is placed into the locking groove 220, and cooperates with the limiting protrusion 610 to lock the locking shaft 320. The limiting port 620 further away from the locking groove 220 is used to lock the locking shaft 320 when one end of the sliding locking shaft 320 is disengaged from the locking groove 220, and cooperates with the limiting protrusion 610 to prevent the locking shaft 320 from completely falling out of the locking sleeve 310 and causing the locking shaft 320 to be lost.

[0048] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 7 as well as Figures 10-12 The housing 100 is provided with a first latching part 710; the locking sleeve 310, which is detachably assembled with the housing 100, has an insertion channel 312 with a through hole 311 on one side; the inner wall of the insertion channel 312 is provided with a second latching part 720 that cooperates with the first latching part 710. The first latching part 710 and the second latching part 720 cooperate to achieve the latching assembly of the locking sleeve 310 and the housing 100, which is convenient for disassembly, replacement, and maintenance. The insertion channel 312 facilitates the insertion of the locking shaft 320 into the through hole 311.

[0049] Furthermore, the locking sleeve 310 is made of an elastic material with deformation space so that the locking shaft 320 can return to its original shape after being inserted into the through hole 311. The elastic material can be silicone, plastic, etc.

[0050] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1-2 The lid 200 has multiple mesh holes 210 to ensure air circulation within the cavity 110 and accelerate heat dissipation. In particular, when the cavity 110 is used to store food or for keeping pets, the mesh holes 210 act as ventilation holes to prevent food from molding or pets from suffocating.

[0051] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
