Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 9 A drawer-type storage box includes: a frame 1, multiple dividers 2, multiple individual drawers 3, and multiple connecting plates 4.

[0036] Please see 2 and Figure 3 The front side of the frame 1 has multiple layers of grooves 1A, which are arranged in an array along the vertical direction. Each layer of grooves 1A has multiple mounting slots 1B arranged in an array along the horizontal direction. The following text and the accompanying drawings use three mounting slots 1B corresponding to one layer of grooves 1A as an example.

[0037] Please refer to point 2. The partition plate 2 is detachably fixed to the mounting slot 1B. The partition plate 2 divides the groove 1A into a corresponding number and width of insertion areas 5. That is, the number of partition plates 2 installed in one layer of groove 1A is not fixed. For example, if partition plates 2 are installed in all three mounting slots 1B in one layer of groove 1A, then that layer of groove 1A is divided into four insertion areas 5, with the insertion area 5 having the smallest width in the left-right direction, which is a single insertion area. For example, if partition plates 2 are installed only in the middle mounting slot 1B in one layer of groove 1A, then that layer of groove 1A is divided into two insertion areas 5. These two insertion areas 5 are combined insertion areas, and their widths are both greater than those of a single insertion area. The width of the combined insertion areas formed by partition plates 2 at different positions will also change accordingly. Of course, a layer of groove 1A may also not have partition plates 2 installed, and that layer of groove 1A can be considered as a combined insertion area.

[0038] Please see 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the mounting slot 1B includes: a horizontal slot 1B1 and a vertical slot 1B2.

[0039] The horizontal groove 1B1 has the same height as the recess 1A, and the inner bottom wall of the horizontal groove 1B1 coincides with the inner bottom wall of the recess 1A, as does the inner top wall of the horizontal groove 1B1. The front side of the horizontal groove 1B1 is shallower than the recess 1A, while the rear side of the horizontal groove 1B1 is deeper than the recess 1A. The vertical groove 1B2 connects to the front side of the horizontal groove 1B1, and its upper and lower sides extend beyond the horizontal groove 1B1.

[0040] More specifically, it is equivalent to: opening a first groove 1C on the rear wall of the groove 1A, and opening two second grooves 1D on the front side of the frame 1 that connect to the groove 1A. The first groove 1C and the second groove 1D connecting to the groove 1A combine to form the installation slot 1B.

[0041] Accordingly, the partition plate 2 includes: a horizontal plate 21 and a vertical plate 22 connecting the front side of the horizontal plate 21. That is, the rear side of the horizontal plate 21 is inserted into the first groove 1C, and the upper and lower sides of the vertical plate 22 are respectively inserted into two second grooves 1D.

[0042] Please see 1 and Figure 4The width of the individual drawer box 3 is matched with the insertion area 5 formed between two adjacent mounting slots 1B, i.e., the individual insertion area. The individual drawer box 3 includes: a box body 31 and two baffles 32.

[0043] The box body 31 is concave, with plates on both sides of the concave opening corresponding to the front and rear sides, respectively. Two baffles 32 are detachably fixed to the left and right sides of the box body 31, respectively. When the baffles 32 are fixed to the box body 31, it is marked as the installed state; when the baffles 32 are detached from the box body 31, it is marked as the disassembled state. More specifically, the left and right outer walls of the box body 31 may each have multiple first insertion posts 31A, and the corresponding positions of the baffles 32 may have first insertion holes 32A.

[0044] Please see Figure 7 The connecting plate 4 is concave. With the baffles 32 on both sides of the two boxes 31 detached, the connecting plate 4 is detachably fixed between the two boxes 31. More specifically, the left and right outer walls of the connecting plate 4 may each have multiple first auxiliary insertion holes 4A. With the baffles 32 on both sides of the two boxes 31 detached, multiple first insertion posts 31A on the left outer wall of one box 31 are inserted into multiple first auxiliary insertion holes 4A on the right outer wall of the connecting plate 4, and multiple first insertion posts 31A on the right outer wall of one box 31 are inserted into multiple first auxiliary insertion holes 4A on the left outer wall of the connecting plate 4.

[0045] That is, one connecting plate 4 connects two boxes 31, and correspondingly, two connecting plates 4 can connect three boxes 31, and so on, forming a combination box 6 that is wider than a single box 3, adapting to combination insertion areas of different widths.

[0046] The number of partition plates 2 is the same as the number of mounting slots 1B. Initially, the partition plates 2 are installed one-to-one in the mounting slots 1B, meaning all insertion areas 5 are single insertion areas. The number of individual drawer boxes 3 is the same as the number of individual insertion areas at this time, and the individual drawer boxes 3 are inserted one-to-one into the insertion areas 5. Depending on the specific usage environment, when the width of the individual drawer box 3 is insufficient and needs to be extended, the corresponding individual drawer boxes 3 are selected, the partition plates 2 between these individual drawer boxes 3 are removed, the corresponding baffles 32 of these individual drawer boxes 3 are removed, and these individual drawer boxes 3 are connected by connecting plates 4 to form a combined drawer box 6.

[0047] Please refer to 5. Figure 6 and Figure 7 Based on the above embodiment where "installation slot 1B includes: horizontal slot 1B1 and vertical slot 1B2", in some embodiments, the connection between the vertical plate 22 and the horizontal plate 21 is detachable. The horizontal plate 21 is concave and serves as the connecting plate 4, and correspondingly, the first auxiliary insert is also disposed on the horizontal plate 21. The baffle 32 in the detached state can also be detachably fixedly connected to the baffle 32 in the installed state.

[0048] One approach is to label the two boxes 31 that need to be connected as Box 1 31 and Box 2 31 respectively. After the baffle 32 on the left side of Box 1 31 is removed, the baffle 32 can be detachably and fixedly connected to the baffle 32 on the left side of Box 2 31. After the baffle 32 on the right side of Box 2 31 is removed, the baffle 32 can be detachably and fixedly connected to the baffle 32 on the right side of Box 1 31.

[0049] Another method is as follows: the two boxes 31 that need to be connected are labeled as box 1 31 and box 2 31 respectively. After the baffle 32 on the left side of box 1 31 is removed, the baffle 32 can be flipped and detachably fixed to the baffle 32 on the right side of box 1 31. After the baffle 32 on the right side of box 2 31 is removed, the baffle 32 can be flipped and detachably fixed to the baffle 32 on the left side of box 2 31.

[0050] More specifically, on the left and right outer walls of the baffle 32, each of the four corners of one outer wall may have a second insertion post 32B, and each of the four corners of the other outer wall may have a second insertion hole 32C. The four corners of the left and right outer walls of the box body 31 may each have a second insertion hole 31B.

[0051] When the baffle 32 is fixedly connected to the housing 31, the second insertion post 32B enters the second insertion hole 31B. After the baffle 32 is removed from the housing 31, it enters the second auxiliary insertion hole 32C through the second insertion hole 31B. The baffle 32 in the removed state can also be detachably fixedly connected to the baffle 32 in the installed state.

[0052] Depending on the specific usage environment, when the width of a single drawer 3 is insufficient and needs to be extended, take the combination of two single drawer 3s as an example:

[0053] First, select two adjacent individual drawers 3 and pull them out. Remove the baffles 32 that are close to each other between the two individual drawers 3. Then, fix the removed baffles 32 to the baffles 32 in the corresponding installation state.

[0054] Next, the partition plate 2 between the two individual drawers 3 is removed to form a combined insertion area, and the horizontal plate 21 of the partition plate 2 is removed.

[0055] Then, the two boxes 31 are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 21 to form a combined drawer box 6.

[0056] Finally, insert the combination drawer 6 into the combination insertion area.

[0057] The width of the combined insertion area is the sum of the widths of the four baffles (32), the two boxes (31), and the horizontal plate (21). The width of the combined drawer box 6 is also the sum of the widths of the four baffles (32), the two boxes (31), and the horizontal plate (21), which is directly adaptable.

[0058] There is no need to design a separate connecting plate 4. The two removed baffles 32 and the horizontal plate 21 can be added to the assembly of the combination drawer 6, and there is no need to find a place to put them for storage.

[0059] Please see 7 and Figure 8 Based on the above embodiment where "the horizontal plate 21 is concave and serves as the connecting plate 4," in some embodiments, the front side of the box 31 has a protruding handle 31C. With the horizontal plate 21 connecting the two boxes 31, the vertical plate 22 is detachably fixedly connected to the front side of the two boxes 31, positioned between the handles 31C of the two boxes 31. That is, the vertical plate 22 connects the two handles 31C.

[0060] Further:

[0061] The horizontal plate 21 has a third insert 21A at the middle of its front side, and the vertical plate 22 has a third insertion hole 22A at the middle of its rear side. The third insertion hole 22A engages with the third insert 21A; that is, when the horizontal plate 21 and the vertical plate 22 are fixedly connected together to form the partition plate 2, the third insert 21A enters the third insertion hole 22A. The vertical plate 22 has fourth inserts 22B at both the top and bottom of its rear side.

[0062] The vertical slot 1B2 has a fourth insertion hole 1E at both its upper and lower positions, meaning that both second slots 1D have a fourth insertion hole 1E. The fourth insertion hole 1E cooperates with the fourth insertion post 22B. That is, when the partition plate 2 is fixedly connected to the installation slot 1B, the rear side of the horizontal plate 21 is inserted into the first slot 1C, and the upper and lower sides of the vertical plate 22 are respectively inserted into the two second slots 1D. At the same time, the fourth insertion post 22B enters the fourth insertion hole 1E.

[0063] The front side of the housing 31 has a fourth set of sockets 31D on both the left and right sides of the handle 31C. The fourth set of sockets 31D are used in conjunction with the fourth insert 22B. After the horizontal plate 21 and the vertical plate 22 are disassembled, the two housings 31 are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 21. The vertical plate 22 is rotated 90 degrees, the third insert 21A re-enters the third socket 22A, and the two fourth inserts 22B enter the two fourth set of sockets 31D respectively.

[0064] The vertical plate 22 is also incorporated into the assembly of the combination drawer 6, eliminating the need to search for a place to store it. The vertical plate 22 not only connects the two handles 31C, but also makes the fixed connection between the two drawer bodies 31 and the horizontal plate 21 more stable.

[0065] Please see Figure 10 In some embodiments, the front side of the box body 31 has a label slot 31E. More specifically, in conjunction with "the front side of the box body 31 has a raised handle 31C", the label slot 31E may be provided on the handle 31C.
