Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities, specifically to a tray-type storage container. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing piggy bank products only offer a single coin storage function. Their structure is usually an integrated design or only has a simple coin slot and coin retrieval cover, which is insufficient to meet users' needs for storing items in various scenarios in daily life. For example, when users return home, they often need to temporarily place small items such as keys, cards, and USB drives. These items are easily lost if left lying around, and traditional piggy banks cannot provide such temporary storage space. This forces users to use additional tools such as trays and storage boxes, which not only take up space but also reduce the convenience of use. At the same time, traditional piggy banks require breaking the body to retrieve coins, or the disassembly process is cumbersome, affecting the ease of use.

[0003] The above problems are worth solving. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the problems of existing piggy banks having limited functionality, failing to meet the temporary storage needs of items in various scenarios, and being inconvenient to retrieve coins, this utility model provides a tray-type piggy bank.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A tray-type savings container includes a detachable top cover and a base. The top cover has an arc-shaped tray with supporting feet below it. The base has a receiving groove in the middle, the opening of which first narrows inward from bottom to top to form a limiting opening, and then extends radially outward to form a disc-shaped supporting part. When the top cover is assembled with the base, the supporting feet engage with the limiting opening, creating a gap between the arc-shaped tray and the supporting part for inserting coins.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the support foot includes a plurality of evenly distributed support plates, the support plates extending outward from the center of the bottom of the plate along the radial direction of the plate; the outer bottom corner of the support plate is provided with a concave arc notch, and the support plate is engaged with the limiting port of the receiving groove through the concave arc notch.

[0008] Furthermore, the support foot includes four support plates, and the four support plates are arranged in a cross shape.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the diameter of the supporting part is larger than the outer diameter of the arc-shaped tray.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the edge of the limiting port is provided with a rounded transition surface.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the supporting part has an inclined surface that slopes downward from the outside to the inside, and the inclined surface is a downwardly concave curved surface.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the height of the receiving groove ranges from 3cm to 10cm.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the tray storage container is made of organic plastic.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model based on the above solution are as follows:

[0015] The piggy bank of this utility model has a detachable top cover and a base. The arc tray of the top cover serves as a carrier for temporarily placing small items, meeting the user's temporary storage needs for items such as keys and cards in scenarios such as the entryway. The storage slot of the base enables long-term storage of coins, so that the product has both temporary storage and storage functions, improving the convenience and multi-functionality of use.

[0016] The locking mechanism between the top cover's supporting feet and the base's limiting opening ensures the stability of the top cover and base assembly. The gap between the arc-shaped tray and the supporting part forms a coin-insertion channel, allowing coins to slide naturally into the receiving slot. This design, which accommodates coins sliding in from the edge of the tray, ensures a smooth coin-insertion process. At the same time, this structure allows for easy disassembly of the top cover, making it convenient for users to retrieve stored coins, thus balancing the practicality of the storage function with ease of use.

[0017] In addition, the assembly structure of the top cover and the base forms a stable relative position relationship through the cooperation of the limiting port and the support foot, ensuring the size of the coin insertion gap is stable, avoiding coin jamming or poor coin insertion due to loose assembly, and improving the reliability of product use.

[0024] To better understand the purpose, technical solution, and technical effects of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, will provide further explanation. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need further definition and explanation in subsequent drawings. It is also stated that the embodiments described below are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0025] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The term "several" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a tray-type savings account includes a detachable top cover 1 and a base 2. The top cover 1 serves as a core storage component, with an arc-shaped tray 11 on top, which can directly hold small items such as keys and cards. Support feet 12 below the arc-shaped tray 11 support its connection to the base 2. The base 2 serves as the main storage unit, with a coin-holding slot 21 in the middle. The slot 21 has a special structure: it first narrows inward to form a limiting opening 22, and then extends outward to form a disc-shaped support portion 23. This structure provides assembly positioning for the top cover 1 and also cooperates with the arc-shaped tray 11 of the top cover 1 to form a coin-operated channel. When the top cover 1 and base 2 are assembled, the top cover 1 is engaged and fixed to the limiting opening 22 of the base 2 via the support feet 12. At this time, the gap 3 between the arc-shaped tray 11 and the support portion 23 becomes the coin-operated slot.

[0027] As can be seen, the circular tray 11 of the top cover 1 of this utility model directly serves as a temporary storage space, where users can place small items such as keys and cards when they return home, without the need for additional storage tools; the receiving slot 21 of the base 2 is specifically designed for long-term coin storage. By integrating two functions into one product, the space occupied in the home is reduced. Users can place small items on the circular tray 11 for temporary storage, and at the same time, coins can be inserted through the gap 3 between the circular tray 11 and the support part 23, realizing the "two-in-one" function of the piggy bank. Furthermore, the gap 3 formed by the circular tray 11 and the support part 23 is distributed along the edge of the tray, allowing coins to slide naturally from the edge of the tray into the gap 3 by their own gravity, and then enter the receiving slot 21 of the base 2 through the slot structure. There is no need to deliberately align the coin slot, making the coin insertion process smooth and the operation experience elegant. Structurally, the snap-fit ​​between the support foot 12 and the limiting port 22 forms a stable assembly structure, preventing the top cover 1 from becoming loose during use; the detachable design allows the top cover 1 to be directly separated from the base 2, and the coins in the receiving slot 21 to be quickly removed without damaging the can.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the support foot 12 includes several evenly distributed support plates. The support plates extend radially outward from the center of the tray bottom. The evenly distributed layout allows for more balanced force distribution between the top cover 1 and the base 2, preventing tilting or loosening due to uneven force distribution after assembly. The outer bottom corner of the support plate has a concave arc notch 121. The support plate engages with the limiting opening 22 of the receiving groove 21 through the concave arc notch 121. The concave arc notch 121 structure increases the contact area, improving the stability of the engagement between the top cover 1 and the base 2. Simultaneously, the concave arc shape facilitates the smooth engagement of the support foot 12 at the limiting opening 22. This engagement structure ensures that the coin insertion gap 3 between the arc-shaped tray 11 and the support portion 23 remains stable.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the support foot 12 includes four support plates arranged in a cross shape. The four cross-shaped support plates are evenly distributed below the arc-shaped tray 11, forming symmetrical force-bearing support points. This allows the weight of the top cover 1 and the pressure generated by placing items to be evenly transmitted to the base 2, more reliably maintaining the stability of the coin gap 3 between the arc-shaped tray 11 and the support part 23, and effectively preventing the top cover 1 from shifting due to shaking or collision during use. The symmetrical structure of the support foot 12 simplifies the alignment operation during assembly. Users can complete the assembly of the top cover 1 and the base 2 without deliberately adjusting the direction, further improving ease of use.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the diameter of the support portion 23 is larger than the outer diameter of the arc-shaped tray 11, so that the coin insertion gap 3 formed between the edge of the arc-shaped tray 11 and the support portion 23 is continuously distributed in a ring shape along the outer periphery of the tray. Coins can slide into the gap 3 from any edge position of the arc-shaped tray 11 without deliberately aligning with a specific coin insertion point, further improving the convenience and smoothness of coin insertion. In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the support portion 23 is 1 mm larger than the outer diameter of the arc-shaped tray 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, the edge of the limiting port 22 is provided with a rounded transition surface, which effectively optimizes the assembly process between the support foot 12 and the limiting port 22. The rounded transition surface reduces the sharpness of the edge of the limiting port 22, so that when the support foot 12 is inserted into the limiting port 22, it can be smoothly snapped in by means of the guiding effect of the curved surface without precise alignment.

[0032] In this embodiment, the support portion 23 has an inclined surface that slopes downward from the outside to the inside, and the inclined surface is a downwardly concave curved surface. This structure guides the coins that slide into the coin slot 3. Specifically, when the coin slides into the slot 3 from the edge of the arc tray 11, it will fall on the inclined curved surface of the support portion 23. With the help of the concave arc and downward tilt angle of the curved surface, the coin can slide naturally along the curved surface and smoothly enter the receiving slot 21 of the base 2, avoiding the situation where the coin is stuck or jammed on the surface of the support portion 23, and further improving the smoothness of the coin insertion process.

[0033] In this embodiment, the height of the receiving groove 21 ranges from 3cm to 10cm.

[0034] In this embodiment, the tray-type storage container is made of organic plastic. Using organic plastic as the material for the tray-type storage container not only meets environmental protection requirements, but its excellent plasticity also allows for precise rendering of the structural details of the top cover 1 and the base 2, such as the smooth curve of the arc tray 11 and the snap-fit ​​between the support legs 12 and the limiting port 22, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the assembly of each component. Furthermore, the texture of organic plastic is suitable for the coloring requirements of natural plant dyes, and can stably present low-saturation colors, allowing the product's appearance to blend naturally into most home environments.

[0035] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0036] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
