[0029] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a science education box proposed in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram from another perspective of the embodiment; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the shell in an embodiment of this application; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a stacked structure of a science education box according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 5 for Figure 4 A cross-sectional structural diagram of the Chinese embodiment.

[0031] refer to Figures 1-5 This application provides a science education box, which may include two shells 1 that are arranged opposite to each other and hinged together, forming an accommodating space; the science education box may also include a mounting plate 2 and a latch 3, the mounting plate 2 is disposed inside one of the shells 1 and its thickness direction is the same as the first direction, which is the direction in which the two shells 1 are opposite to each other; the latch 3 connects the two shells 1 to lock or release the degree of freedom of relative rotation between the two shells 1; wherein, a protrusion 11 and a protruding ring 12 are respectively provided on the side of the two shells 1 that are opposite to each other; the plane on the side of one shell 1 that is opposite to the other shell 1 is the projection plane, and the orthographic projections of the protrusion 11 and the protruding ring 12 on the projection plane are block projection and ring projection, respectively, and the edge of the block projection fits the inner circumference of the ring projection.

[0032] The science education box proposed in this application embodiment has teaching aids set on the mounting plate 2 inside the box. When multiple boxes are stacked, the first direction is the same as the direction of gravity. Taking the protrusion 11 located on the top of the box as an example, between adjacent boxes, the box located on top is called the upper box and the box located on the bottom is called the lower box. The protrusion 11 on the lower box is engaged with the inner circumference of the protruding ring 12 on the upper box. This can limit the relative position of adjacent boxes, so that the boxes will not slide during transportation, making transportation or storage more stable. In addition, the box locks the two shells 1 by the latch 3, so that the box is closed and the protection effect of the teaching aids is better.

[0033] Among them, the orthographic projections of the protrusion 11 and the protrusion ring 12 on the projection surface are block projection and ring projection, respectively. The edge of the block projection fits the inner circumference of the ring projection. Thus, when multiple boxes are stacked in the first direction, the protrusion 11 can be stably inserted into the inner circumference of the protrusion ring 12.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the boxes can be stacked stably and reliably through the cooperation of the protrusion 11 and the protrusion ring 12, saving a lot of space during storage or transportation and reducing transportation or storage costs. Generally speaking, each column can stack up to 12 to 15 boxes.

[0035] refer to Figures 1-3 In an exemplary embodiment, the housing 1 connected to the mounting plate 2 is a first housing, and the other housing 1 is a second housing. There is a gap between the mounting plate 2 and the side wall of the first housing. A convex ring 12 is disposed on the first housing, and a drain hole 121 extending in a first direction is provided on the convex ring 12. The drain hole 121 communicates with the receiving space.

[0036] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the teaching aid is being displayed and used, the second housing can be opened to display and use the teaching aid on the mounting plate 2.

[0037] Specifically, liquids are occasionally used during the teaching process. If the liquid is spilled during the teaching process, it can flow from the gap between the mounting plate 2 and the second housing into the area below the mounting plate 2, and then be discharged through the drain hole 121 for convenience and speed.

[0038] The mounting plate 2 can be connected to the first housing by screws.

[0039] refer to Figure 5 In an exemplary embodiment, the convex ring 12 is integral with the first housing, and on the side of the first housing facing the second housing, the convex ring 12 has a recessed structure; in an exemplary embodiment, the drain hole 121 is located at the bottom of the recessed structure.

[0040] The convex ring 12 is part of the first shell, that is, one side of the first shell is raised and the other side is recessed, thus forming the convex ring 12. In the teaching process, if the liquid is poured, the liquid will collect at the recess of the convex ring 12 on the first shell. The drain hole 121 is provided on the convex ring 12 to facilitate drainage.

[0041] Furthermore, the drain hole 121 is located at the bottom of the recessed structure, so that the liquid in the recess of the convex ring 12 can be completely discharged from the drain hole 121 at the bottom of the recess with almost no residue, resulting in better drainage.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the protrusion 11 is the same as the thickness of the protruding ring 12 in the first direction. Thus, after the protrusion 11 engages with the corresponding protruding ring 12, the engagement is more stable, and in this case, the stacking of boxes in the first direction will not generate additional height due to the difference in thickness between the protrusion 11 and the protruding ring 12, effectively reducing the space occupied by the stacked boxes.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an exemplary embodiment, in the first direction, the cross section of the protrusion 11 perpendicular to the first direction is rectangular, and the protrusion ring 12 is square-ring shaped.

[0044] It should be understood that the shape of the protrusion 11 is consistent with the shape of the inner circumference of the protrusion ring 12, ensuring that the protrusion 11 can engage with the inner circumference of the protrusion ring 12. Specifically, the cross section of the protrusion 11 perpendicular to the first direction can be circular or polygonal, etc. In the embodiment of this application, the cross section of the protrusion 11 perpendicular to the first direction is rectangular.

[0045] Furthermore, a label 5 is affixed to the central area of ​​the side of the protrusion 11 opposite to the mounting plate 2. Different teaching aids can be marked on the label 5, so that the teaching aids can be easily distinguished even when the box is closed, making it more convenient to use.

[0046] Furthermore, the side of the protrusion 11 facing the mounting plate 2 can record the corresponding text and image descriptions of the teaching aids. This makes it easy to see the scientific knowledge points, operating precautions, etc. related to the teaching aids when the box is opened.

[0047] refer to Figure 5 In an exemplary embodiment, the mounting plate 2 divides the accommodating space into a first cavity and a second cavity, the first cavity being located on the side of the mounting plate 2 facing away from the second housing; the science education box may also include electronic components, which are disposed in the first cavity and connected to the first housing.

[0048] Specifically, the electronic components mentioned here do not refer to a specific component, but rather to a component that represents a certain function. For example, a sound-related electronic component can be set here. When the switch is triggered, it can provide voice explanations of the operating precautions and scientific knowledge points of the teaching aids inside the box, making it more convenient to use.

[0049] There are many existing solutions for the sound-related electronic components, which will not be described in detail here. The specific switch can be a push-button switch, located on the outside of the first housing.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, in the first direction, the projection of the electronic component on the projection surface is located on the inner periphery of the annular projection.

[0051] In this way, if liquid is spilled during teaching, it will first gather at the recess of the convex ring 12 and then drain out from the drain hole 121, so that the liquid will not come into contact with the electronic components located on the inner circumference of the ring projection, thus ensuring the safety of the electronic components.

[0052] refer to Figure 2 In an exemplary embodiment, the area where the first housing is connected to the electronic component is provided with heat dissipation holes 13.

[0053] Specifically, after setting the heat dissipation hole 13, the heat generated by the electronic component during operation can be naturally dissipated through the heat dissipation hole 13. Of course, the electronic component can also include a fan, which is located at the heat dissipation hole 13. This can force heat dissipation of the electronic component, effectively protect the safety of the electronic component, and extend its service life.

[0054] Furthermore, the heat dissipation hole 13 can also be used as a sound outlet. When the electronic components are sound-related, the sound outlet is beneficial for the sound to dissipate and avoids the generation of echoes in the closed cavity.

[0055] refer to Figure 5 In an exemplary embodiment, the science education box may further include a power supply interface 4, which is disposed through the side wall of the first housing and is electrically connected to electronic components.

[0056] In this way, power can be supplied to electronic components through power supply interface 4. Of course, electronic components can also include batteries. Power supply interface 4 can be electrically connected to the battery, and the battery can supply power, which makes it more convenient to use.

[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
