Detailed Implementation

[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] 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.

[0037] This embodiment relates to a blind box, as shown in the following figure. Figures 1-6The device includes: a box body 100, a box lid 200, a movable seat 300, a resilient reset component 400, and a snap-fit ​​component 500. The box body 100 has a cavity 110; one end of the box body 100 has an opening communicating with the cavity 110; the box lid 200 covers the box body 100; the movable seat 300 is movably assembled within the cavity 110; the movable seat 300 is for placing items; the resilient reset component 400 is located within the cavity 110; one end of the resilient reset component 400 abuts against the bottom surface of the movable seat 300, and the other end abuts against the inner bottom wall of the box body 100; the snap-fit ​​component 500... The device is mounted on the inner bottom wall of the box body 100 or on the movable seat 300. The movable seat 300 has a snap-fit ​​groove 310 on the side facing the inner bottom wall of the box body 100 or on the inner bottom wall of the box body 100 for engaging with the snap-fit ​​component 500. When the snap-fit ​​component 500 disengages from the snap-fit ​​groove 310, under the action of the elastic reset component 400, the movable seat 300 moves toward the box cover 200 so that the item opens the box cover 200 and protrudes outside the cavity 110. Specifically, when the snap-fit ​​component 500 in this blind box disengages from the snap-fit ​​groove 310, the item placed on the movable seat 300 moves toward the box cover 200 under the elastic force of the elastic reset component 400 until it opens the box cover 200 on the box body 100 and protrudes from the opening into the cavity 110 of the box body 100. Compared to traditional blind boxes where you have to manually open the lid to take out the items, this blind box's opening method, where the items automatically pop out when the box is hit by an external force, is simpler and more fun, enhancing the user's enjoyment and sense of surprise during the opening process.

[0038] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​component 500 and the snap-fit ​​groove 310 are arranged opposite to each other. The snap-fit ​​component 500 is assembled on the inner bottom wall of the box body 100; the movable seat 300 has a snap-fit ​​groove 310 for cooperating with the snap-fit ​​component 500 on the side facing the inner bottom wall of the box body 100. When one end of the snap-fit ​​component 500 in this blind box is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 310, the elastic reset component 400 is in a compressed state, the movable seat 300 is locked in the cavity 110 of the box body 100 by the snap-fit ​​component 500, and the item is covered in the cavity 110 of the box body 100 by the box lid 200. The cooperation between the snap-fit ​​component 500 and the snap-fit ​​groove 310 can prevent the movable seat 300 from accidentally popping out under the elastic force of the elastic reset component 400, thereby preventing the item from accidentally popping out. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the end of the snap-fit ​​component 500 that cooperates with the snap-fit ​​groove 310 is spherical and has a groove. The latching component 500 is made of an elastic material. When the blind box is impacted by an external force, because the latching component 500 is not rigidly connected to the latching groove 310, the latching component 500 can detach from the latching groove 310. In the actual opening process, the user can hit the box body 100 against a table corner, wall, or other hard object, causing the latching component 500 to detach from the latching groove 310, thereby causing the item to pop out automatically. This method of automatically popping out the item after impact increases the user's sense of interaction. The item can be a doll, figurine, etc. In some embodiments, the latching component 500 is mounted on the movable base 300; the inner bottom wall of the box body 100 has a latching groove 310 for engaging with the latching component 500.

[0039] In this embodiment, the lid 200 is mounted on the box body 100, and the lid 200 and the box body 100 are detachably assembled. To prevent the lid 200 from being lost when an item pushes it open, the manufacturer can directly bond the item to the lid 200 using hot melt adhesive or other bonding methods during the production process, allowing the item to pop out. In some embodiments, the lid 200 can also be rotatably mounted on the box body 100 at one end. In this embodiment, the elastic reset member 400 is a spring. In some embodiments, the elastic reset member 400 can also be a spring block.

[0040] In this embodiment, the top surface of the movable seat 300 is provided with a mounting post 330; the mounting post 330 is provided with a mounting slot 331 for placing items, so that items can be placed on the top surface of the movable seat 300.

[0041] Furthermore, referring to Figures 4-8The inner wall of the box body 100 is provided with vertically placed guide posts 121; the edge of the movable seat 300 is provided with guide grooves 320 for cooperating with the guide posts 121. The sliding cooperation between the guide posts 121 and the guide grooves 320 prevents the movable seat 300 from shifting or tilting when it moves under the action of the elastic reset member 400. Specifically, when the snap-fit ​​member 500 disengages from the snap-fit ​​groove 310, the elastic force of the elastic reset member 400 will push the movable seat 300 upward. The cooperation between the guide posts 121 and the guide grooves 320 ensures that the movable seat 300 moves upward in the vertical direction, ensuring that the item can smoothly push open the box lid 200 and pop out of the cavity 110. In this embodiment, the guide posts 121 and the guide grooves 320 are one-to-one, and there are four of each. The four guide posts 121 and the four guide grooves 320 are evenly distributed circumferentially.

[0042] Furthermore, referring to Figure 7 A limiting ring 122 is provided circumferentially on the inner side wall of the box body 100 near the box cover 200. The limiting ring 122 is used to prevent the movable seat 300 from detaching from the cavity 110 under the action of the elastic reset member 400, to limit the movement of the movable seat 300, and to prevent the movable seat 300 from popping out of the cavity 110 and accidentally injuring the user, thereby increasing the safety of this blind box.

[0043] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 7-8 The bottom surface of the movable base 300 is provided with a first locking post 510 for locking one end of the elastic reset member 400; the inner bottom wall of the housing 100 is provided with a second locking post 520 for locking the other end of the elastic reset member 400. The two ends of the elastic reset member 400 are respectively locked onto the first locking post 510 and the second locking post 520. This ensures that the elastic force of the elastic reset member 400 can be transmitted vertically to the movable base 300, and also prevents the elastic force from dispersing or tilting due to displacement of the elastic reset member 400. Furthermore, compared to other connection methods, it also facilitates the replacement of the elastic reset member 400.

[0044] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 4-8The box body 100 includes a box body 120 and a base 130 assembled at the bottom of the box body 120; the box body 120 and the base 130 enclose a cavity 110. Specifically, the base 130 is also provided with a limiting groove for inserting one end of the guide post 121. Further, an extension post 131 extending towards the movable seat 300 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the base 130; the extension post 131 has a channel 1311 connecting the cavity 110 with the outside. This blind box also includes: a locking device 600 rotatably mounted on the base 130; the locking device 600 includes: an adjustment part 610 disposed on the bottom side of the base 130 and an adjustment shaft 620 with one end connected to the adjustment part 610 and the other end placed in the channel 1311; the end of the adjustment shaft 620 placed in the channel 1311 has an adjustment groove 621; one end of the snap-fit ​​500 is inserted into the adjustment groove 621; the snap-fit ​​500 is provided with a locking stop 710, and the bottom surface of the movable seat 300 is provided with a vertically downward extending locking post 720; the locking post 720 has a locking groove 721 that cooperates with the locking stop 710; rotating the adjustment part 610 drives the adjustment shaft 620 to rotate, thereby driving the snap-fit ​​500 to rotate so that the locking stop 710 is placed in the locking groove 721 to lock the movable seat 300. Specifically, to prevent the snap-fit ​​component 500 from accidentally disengaging from the snap-fit ​​groove 310 during transportation, causing the item to pop out unexpectedly, a locking device 600 for locking the movable seat 300 is rotatably mounted on the base 130. A locking stop bar 710 and a locking pin 720 that cooperates with the locking stop bar 710 are also provided. When it is necessary to lock the movable seat 300, the operation is as follows: rotating the adjusting part 610 drives the adjusting shaft 620 to rotate synchronously. The adjusting shaft 620 further drives the snap-fit ​​component 500, one end of which is inserted into the adjusting groove 621, to rotate, causing the locking stop bar 710 to rotate and screw into the locking groove 721. At this time, the movable seat 300 is locked to the snap-fit ​​component 500 by the locking pin 720, the locking stop bar 710, and the snap-fit ​​component 500, preventing the snap-fit ​​groove 310 from accidentally disengaging from the snap-fit ​​component 500, which would cause the movable seat 300 to rise unexpectedly under the action of the elastic reset component 400. When it is necessary to unlock the movable seat 300, the operation is as follows: Rotating the adjusting part 610 drives the adjusting shaft 620 to rotate synchronously. The adjusting shaft 620 further drives the snap-fit ​​member 500, one end of which is inserted into the adjusting groove 621, to rotate, causing the locking stop bar 710 to rotate out of the locking groove 721. At this time, the movable seat 300 and the snap-fit ​​member 500 are unlocked, and the snap-fit ​​groove 310 and the snap-fit ​​member 500 can be unlocked under external force to complete the automatic ejection of the item. In this embodiment, there are two locking pins 720, and correspondingly, there are two locking grooves 721. There are also two locking stop bars 710. In some embodiments, there may be only one locking pin 720 and one locking stop bar 710.

[0045] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 as well as Figure 6An arc-shaped groove 611 is provided at the edge of the adjustment part 610; a first stop 810 that mates with the arc-shaped groove 611 is provided on the bottom surface of the base 130. When the adjustment part 610 is rotated, the two ends of the arc-shaped groove 611 will contact the first stop 810 on the base 130, forming a physical block, thereby limiting the maximum rotation angle of the adjustment part 610. In this embodiment, the maximum rotation angle is the angle at which the base 130 and the movable seat 300 switch between unlocked and locked states, specifically 90°. The arc-shaped groove 611 and the first stop 810 not only prevent excessive rotation from causing the snap-fit ​​500 to twist and the locking strip 710 to deform, but also prevent incomplete unlocking due to insufficient rotation. In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the adjustment part 610 is provided with an indicator symbol, and the bottom surface of the base 130 is provided with a locking mark and an unlocking mark indicating the locking and unlocking states of the movable seat 300. When the user rotates the adjustment part 610 so that the indicator symbol points to the locking mark, the locking stop bar 710 is placed into the locking groove 721; when the user rotates the adjustment part 610 so that the indicator symbol points to the unlocking mark, the locking stop bar 710 is disengaged from the locking groove 721.

[0046] Furthermore, a second stop 820 is provided on one end of the snap-fit ​​member 500 near the adjusting groove 621; the free end of the second stop 820 extends horizontally away from the snap-fit ​​member 500 and extends above the extending post 131. The function of the second stop 820 is to prevent the snap-fit ​​member 500 and the adjusting shaft 620 from falling out of the channel 1311. In this embodiment, two second stop 820s are provided. In some embodiments, one second stop 820 may also be provided.

[0047] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 The blind box also includes a pull ring 900 that is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the lid 200 so that the user can pull open the lid 200.

[0048] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it.
