Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of stationery storage technology, specifically to a marker storage box designed to optimize the storage of markers and improve the convenience and safety of use. Background Technology
[0002] In the current market for marker storage boxes, the mainstream design generally adopts a combination structure of box body and lid. The lid is directly attached to or hinged to the edge of the box opening, and the hinged lid is locked by a snap-fit mechanism after closing. However, while this traditional design is known for its simple structure and ease of manufacturing, it has some problems in practical application. On the one hand, its appearance lacks novelty, and the rigid design of the snap-fit mechanism fails to meet the aesthetic demands of modern home or office environments, and cannot satisfy consumers' expectations for personalization and style. On the other hand, in terms of ease of use, when the handle is located on the lid, the storage box cannot be used when the handle is open. This defect seriously limits the user's usage scenarios, especially when it is necessary to move the storage box while using the marker or when the storage box is not conveniently placed. This led to the development of flip-top pen holders, such as CN202368223U. However, this flip-top pen holder design still has safety hazards. For example, the lid needs to be slid up to a set height before it can flip. If the lid is accidentally released during the sliding process, it may fall down automatically, potentially causing accidental injury to the user. In addition, if the lid is allowed to flip automatically after it has flipped, there will be a large impact noise between the lid and the body, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, this application provides a marker storage box to solve the technical problems of existing storage boxes being unattractive and inconvenient to use.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A marker pen storage box includes a box body, a box lid connected to the box body, and a carrying ring connected to the box body. The storage cavity of the box body has several pen slots for inserting and positioning marker pens. The two sides of the box body are provided with hinge shaft structures. The box lid has guide grooves that slide in cooperation with the hinge shaft structures, allowing the box lid to slide and flip relative to the box body. The two ends of the carrying ring are respectively hinged to the corresponding hinge shaft structures.
[0006] Furthermore, the storage cavity of the box has a grid shelf that is installed by a snap-fit structure, and the pen compartment is formed on the grid shelf.
[0007] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a lower limiting boss that abuts against the bottom surface of the shelf and an upper locking block that prevents the shelf from moving upward.
[0008] Furthermore, the lower limit boss and the upper locking block are both fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box, and the side of the shelf has a guide slope that can slide along the upper locking block.
[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the guide slide are provided with limiting protrusions, and the hinge shaft structure is restricted at the corresponding end of the guide slide after passing the corresponding limiting protrusion.
[0010] Furthermore, the hinge shaft structure includes a circular boss protruding from the outer side of the box body and a limiting pin mounted on the circular boss.
[0011] Furthermore, the guide groove mates with the round boss, and the handle ring is hinged to the pin shaft of the limiting pin.
[0012] Furthermore, the height of the back panel of the box is greater than that of the front panel, the height of the back panel of the lid is less than that of the front panel, and the top surface of the lid is an arc surface.
[0013] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. Enhance novelty and aesthetics
[0015] With its unique sliding flip-top lid design, this storage box breaks away from the rigid image of traditional snap-fit structures, giving the product a higher degree of novelty and design sense, allowing it to better integrate into modern home or office environments and enhance its overall aesthetics.
[0016] 2. Enhanced ease of use
[0017] The carrying handle is directly connected to the box body, allowing users to easily lift and move the storage box regardless of whether the lid is open or closed, greatly improving the convenience of use;
[0018] The sliding and flipping design of the lid makes it easier for users to access the markers. They can quickly find and take out the required markers without having to fully open the lid.
[0019] 3. Eliminate safety hazards and reduce noise
[0020] Compared to existing flip-type pen holders, the sliding and flipping lid design effectively avoids the risk of the lid falling down automatically and quickly due to accidental release during the sliding process, thus improving product safety.
[0021] The lid flips smoothly and slowly, reducing impact noise with the box body and providing users with a quieter and more comfortable environment.
[0022] 4. Easy to manufacture and use
[0023] The snap-fit design allows the shelves to be securely installed inside the box, facilitating the combination of different marker storage boxes. Alternatively, the shelves can be removed to create a pen holder without compartments. This modular design allows users to switch between storage modes by disassembling and reassembling the shelves, providing a more flexible storage solution. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments and their descriptions are used to explain this application, but are not intended to limit it.
[0036] refer to Figures 1 to 9 ,like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a marker pen storage box, including a box body 1, a box lid 2 connected to the box body 1, and a carrying ring 3 connected to the box body 1. The box body 1 serves as the main frame of the storage box, and its interior has a storage cavity for accommodating marker pens. The box lid 2 is used to cover and protect the marker pens inside the storage cavity. The storage cavity of the box body 1 has several pen slots for inserting and positioning marker pens. The pen slots allow marker pens to be easily retrieved without affecting the storage stability of other marker pens. The two sides of the box body 1 have hinge shaft structures. The box lid 2 has guide grooves 22 that slide in conjunction with the hinge shaft structures. The form in which the hinge shaft structures cooperate with the guide grooves 22 allows the box lid 2 to slide and flip relative to the box body 1 when opening or closing, making the structure highly novel. During the flipping process, the rear side of the lid 2 remains in contact with the box body 1, ensuring a smooth flipping process. In the event of accidental release, the lid 2 can close or open smoothly without causing severe impact to the user, ensuring safe use. During the smooth opening process, it will not violently collide with the box body 1, producing no impact noise and providing a quiet user environment. The two ends of the carrying ring 3 are respectively hinged to the corresponding hinge shaft structure, allowing the marker storage box to be easily moved with one hand even when open. The carrying ring 3 can be rotated to adjust the direction of use, making it convenient to use. Furthermore, the carrying ring 3 allows the marker storage box to be used even when suspended, making its usage more versatile.
[0037] In actual use, the carrying ring 3 can also be connected to the carrying ring 3 via magnetic or quick-release interface, supporting quick disassembly and replacement of the carrying ring 3.
[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, in order to reduce the processing difficulty of the box 1 with pen compartments and reduce the use of materials, in this application, preferably, the storage cavity of the box 1 has a grid shelf 5 installed by a snap-fit structure, and the pen compartments are formed on the grid shelf 5. When the box 1 does not have the grid shelf 5, it can be used as an ordinary pen holder. After the box 1 and the grid shelf 5 are assembled, it forms a storage box for markers, watercolor pens, colored pencils and other pens, making the use of the box 1 more diversified, with the grid shelf 5 for pen compartments.
[0039] Another installation method for the shelf 5 is: the shelf 5 can be placed directly inside the box 1. However, in order to make it convenient to insert and store pens, the shelf 5 will be relatively tall, which will be more wasteful of materials.
[0040] One type of installation method for the snap-fit structure is as follows: the side of the grid shelf 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the box body 1 by using elastic clips and slots. However, when pressing to install, it is easy to over-install due to excessive pressing force, resulting in low controllability of installation reliability.
[0041] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the locking structure includes a lower limiting boss 12 that abuts against the bottom surface of the shelf 5 and an upper locking block 13 that prevents the shelf 5 from moving upward. The lower limiting boss 12 is used to limit the installation height of the shelf 5, and the upper locking block 13 is used to lock the shelf 5 in place.
[0042] In this application, the lower limiting boss 12 can be a frame placed inside the box 1 and attached to the inner wall of the box 1, and the upper locking block 13 can cooperate with the locking groove located on the side of the shelf 5 to limit the shelf and located above the shelf 5 to limit the shelf 5.
[0043] In this embodiment, the lower limiting boss 12 and the upper locking block 13 are both fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box body 1. The side of the shelf rack 5 has a guide slope 51 that can slide along the upper locking block 13. During the installation process, the guide slope 51 is used to slide along the upper locking block 13 to guide the installation of the shelf rack 5, making the shelf rack 5 easy to install. After installation, the shelf rack 5 is held against the upper plane of the lower limiting boss 12, and the upper locking block 13 is located above the shelf rack 5. The pressing surface of the upper locking block 13 that contacts the shelf rack 5 is an arc surface, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the shelf rack 5 while avoiding scratches on the shelf rack 5.
[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, to prevent the lid 2 from opening or closing accidentally, both ends of the guide slide 22 are provided with limiting protrusions 23. After the hinge shaft structure slides along the guide slide 22 to the limiting protrusion 23, the hinge shaft structure needs to pass over the corresponding limiting protrusion 23 to enter the corresponding end of the guide slide 22. The hinge shaft structure is restricted by the limiting protrusion 23 to the corresponding end of the guide slide 22 and cannot slide freely along the guide slide 22, thereby preventing the lid 2 from opening or closing accidentally.
[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the hinge shaft structure includes a circular boss 11 protruding from the outer side of the box body 1 and a limiting pin 4 mounted on the circular boss 11. The box cover 2 and the carrying ring 3 can both be installed with the circular boss 11. The limiting pin 4 includes a limiting end plate and a pin shaft. The end of the pin shaft is composed of multiple elastic arms. By passing the pin shaft through the side wall of the box body 1, the limiting pin 4 is installed, thus limiting the box cover 2 and the carrying ring 3 to the hinge shaft structure.
[0046] Preferably, in this application, the guide groove 22 cooperates with the round boss 11 to reduce the force on the limiting pin 4 and extend its service life. The handle ring 3 is hinged to the pin shaft of the limiting pin 4 to avoid repeated friction between the box cover 2 and the handle ring 3, which would cause wear to the handle ring 3.
[0047] In this application, the carrying ring 3 can be made of material, leather, or cotton; the carrying ring 3 can also be made into an elongated ring for easy crossbody use; the carrying ring 3 can also be made into a retractable structure for easy switching between hand-carrying and crossbody use.
[0048] In this application, the back panel of the box body 1 is at the same height as the front panel, the back panel of the box lid 2 is at the same height as the front panel, and the opening range of the box opening is constant when the box lid 2 is opened in both directions.
[0049] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the height of the back panel of the box body 1 is greater than that of the front panel, and the height of the back panel of the lid 2 is less than that of the front panel. The structure limits the optimal opening direction of the lid 2. By reducing the height of the front panel, the length of the marker left on the outside is longer, making it easier to pick up and use. The top surface of the lid 2 is an arc surface, making the shape beautiful. The two side panels 21 of the lid 2 are double-ended arcs. The bottom of the left and right side walls of the box body 1 is an arc part that matches the top surface of the lid 2. The arc design ensures safe use.
[0050] When in use, the lid 2 flips up during the upward movement to open the box, and the corresponding pen can be found and removed even without fully opening it. The lid slides down during the flipping process to close the box. It is convenient to use and has a novel way of using and structure.
[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to the embodiments of this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
