Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reading rack technology, and in particular to a book storage box with a reading rack. Background Technology

[0002] When reading books or personal diaries, the books are usually laid out open on the table. This requires the reader to look down significantly, which can easily lead to neck fatigue over time. Additionally, the narrow field of vision necessitates frequent adjustments of head and eye position, causing visual strain. Turning pages is also inconvenient, as the pages tend to spring back after being laid flat, requiring the reader to hold them down, which is cumbersome and disrupts reading flow. Therefore, simple reading stands have emerged on the market.

[0003] However, traditional book reading shelves only provide support for reading and lack additional functions, such as book storage; while traditional book storage boxes are often not multifunctional and can only be used to store books.

[0004] In summary, there is currently a lack of a device that combines a reading shelf and a book storage box to facilitate readers' reading and book storage. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a book storage box with a reading rack.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A book storage box with a reading rack includes a fixed plate. A first box and a second box are pivotally connected to both sides of the fixed plate and can be closed and locked to each other. The internal chambers of the first box and the second box after being closed form a book storage cavity. The fixed plate is also pivotally connected to a bottom plate located outside the first box and / or the second box. A support plate is pivotally connected to the side of the box near the bottom plate. The bottom plate is provided with at least one slot for fitting the support plate on the side near the box. The bottom plate is detachably connected to the side of the box near the bottom plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a first bottom plate located outside the first box body and a second bottom plate located outside the second box body are respectively pivotally connected to both sides of the fixing plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the base plate has three slots on the side near the corresponding box body, and the slots are spaced apart.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the support plate is pivotally connected to the side of the box body near the bottom plate, and the other end of the support plate is provided with an insertion slope, and each of the slots is provided with a guide slope.

[0011] Furthermore, the box body has a receiving cavity for receiving the support plate on the side near the bottom plate, and the depth of the receiving cavity is greater than the thickness of the support plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the base plate is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving cavity, and the base plate can shield the receiving cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, a magnetic closure or snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the base plate and the corresponding box body to achieve closure.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing plate, the first box, the second box, and the bottom plate are all made of wood.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model discloses a book storage box with a reading rack, comprising a fixed plate, on both sides of which a first box body and a second box body are pivotally connected and can be mutually covered and locked. The internal cavity of the first box body and the second box body after being covered forms a book storage cavity. The fixed plate is also pivotally connected to a bottom plate located on the outside of the first box body and / or the outside of the second box body. A support plate is pivotally connected to the side of the box body near the corresponding bottom plate. The side of the bottom plate near the box body has at least one slot for adapting the support plate. The bottom plate is detachably connected to the side of the corresponding box body near the bottom plate. This utility model combines a reading rack and a book storage box into one, integrating functions. When opened, it becomes a reading rack; when closed, it becomes a book storage box. The structure is simple and highly practical. It also has a certain aesthetic appeal, and can be opened as an elegant decoration or collectible, placed on a bookshelf, desk, reading area, or living room.

[0017] 2. This utility model proposes a book storage box with a reading rack. A first base plate located on the outer side of a first box body and a second base plate located on the outer side of a second box body are pivotally connected to both sides of the fixed plate. This arrangement allows the reading rack to have two forms. One is a V-shaped support frame formed when both base plates and support plates are unfolded. When a person is standing to read, the book can be placed on the V-shaped reading rack, making the front and back of the book also V-shaped. This brings the page closer to the reader's vertical line of sight, optimizing the viewing angle and reducing the user's neck bending. When placed in a V-shape, the weight of the book is distributed on both sides of the page, and the spine is in a "suspended" state, which reduces the tendency to close the book (especially suitable for hardcover books), thus improving the reading experience. In ventilated environments or when lightly touching the table, books placed in a V-shape are less likely to be blown away by the wind or accidentally closed than completely flat books, providing resistance to environmental interference. When placed in a V-shape, the spine is in a naturally curved state, resulting in more even stress distribution and less damage. Secondly, by opening only one side of the base and support plate, a single-sided tilted support frame can be created. This allows for adjustment of the book's tilt angle, further optimizing the reading experience. The two reading frame configurations can be easily switched to meet the user's needs.

[0018] 3. This utility model proposes a book storage box with a reading rack. The bottom plate has three slots on the side near the corresponding box body, and the slots are spaced apart. The three slots can accommodate support plates with different rotation angles and box bodies with different tilt angles, which means that the tilt angle of the reading rack is adjustable, making it convenient for users.

[0019] 4. This utility model proposes a book storage box with a reading rack. The box body has a receiving cavity for storing a support plate on the side near the corresponding bottom plate. The depth of the receiving cavity is greater than the thickness of the support plate, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom plate is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving cavity. The bottom plate can conceal the receiving cavity. This design ensures that the support plate does not occupy additional space and can be well hidden when the reading rack is not in use.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The following is combined Figure 1-6 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] A book storage box with a reading shelf includes a fixed plate 10. A first box body 20 and a second box body 30, which can be closed and locked together, are pivotally connected to both sides of the fixed plate 10. The internal chambers of the first box body 20 and the second box body 30, when closed, form a book storage cavity. The fixed plate 10 is also pivotally connected to a bottom plate 40 located outside the first box body 20 and / or the second box body 30. A support plate 50 is pivotally connected to the side of the box body near the corresponding bottom plate 40. The bottom plate 40 has at least one slot 60 for the support plate 50 on the side near the box body. The bottom plate 40 is detachably connected to the side of the corresponding box body near the bottom plate 40. This design combines a reading shelf and a book storage box into one, integrating functions. When opened, it becomes a reading shelf; when closed, it becomes a book storage box. The structure is simple and highly practical. It also has a certain aesthetic appeal, serving as an elegant decoration or collectible when opened and placed on a bookshelf, desk, reading area, or living room. When moving, it can be closed and taken away easily.

[0031] In this embodiment, the two sides of the fixing plate 10 are respectively pivotally connected to a first bottom plate 40 located outside the first box 20 and a second bottom plate 40 located outside the second box 30.

[0032] This design allows the reading rack to have two different forms.

[0033] Firstly, both the bottom plates 40 and the support plate 50 unfold to form a V-shaped support frame. When readers prefer to stand while reading, they can place the book on the V-shaped reading frame, so that the front and back of the book also form a V-shape (the front and back of the book refer to the front and back when it is not opened). This makes the page closer to the reader's vertical line of sight, optimizing the viewing angle and reducing the degree of neck bending for the user. When placed in a V-shape, the weight of the book is distributed on both sides of the page, and the spine is in a "suspended" state, which can reduce the tendency to close the book to a certain extent (especially suitable for hard-cover books), thereby improving the reading experience. In a ventilated environment or when lightly touching the table, books placed in a V-shape are less likely to be blown away by the wind or accidentally closed than those that are completely flat, which has an anti-environmental interference effect. When placed in a V-shape, the spine is in a natural curved state, and the force is more evenly distributed, making it less prone to damage.

[0034] Secondly, by opening only one side of the base plate 40 and support plate 50, a single-sided tilted support frame can be created. This allows for adjustment of the book's tilt angle, further optimizing the reading experience. The two reading frame configurations can be easily switched to meet the user's needs.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, open the two base plates 40 outwards and insert the support plate 50 into the slot 60. At this time, the two inclined inner sides of the box together form a V-shaped reading rack. To facilitate opening the base plates 40 outwards, as shown... Figure 2As shown, pull rings 401 are provided at the edges of the two base plates 40, allowing the user to easily rotate the base plates 40.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the fixing plate 10 includes a top surface and a side surface. The first box 20 and the second box 30 are respectively pivotally connected to the two sides of the top surface of the fixing plate 10, while the two bottom plates 40 are pivotally connected to the side surface of the fixing plate 10, so that the two bottom plates 40 are located outside the first box 20 and outside the second box 30.

[0037] The structure of the first box 20 and the second box 30 is similar to that of a suitcase, with a handle (not shown in the figure). The locking structure between the first box 20 and the second box 30 (not shown in the figure) refers to the locking structures between the box body and the lid commonly used in the prior art, such as the interlocking elastic buckles and slots 60, or mechanical locking structures such as push-button locks, rotary locks, and sliding locks, or mutually compatible first and second magnetic suction parts. Common sealing structures such as sealing rings can be set at the inner edges of the first box 20 and the second box 30 to provide a good sealing effect when the box is not opened. Regarding whether the lower corners of the first box 20 and the second box 30 will collide when opened outwards, making it inconvenient to open, the lower corners of the two boxes can be designed as bevels or rounded corners to reduce the contact area between the corners and thus avoid mutual obstruction.

[0038] The inner sides of the first box 20 and the second box 30 are provided with a clamping mechanism (not shown in the figure) for clamping open books to facilitate reading. The clamping mechanism may include a connecting strap and an elastic clip. The connecting strap connects any position inside the box to the elastic clip, and the clamping surface of the elastic clip has a flexible layer to avoid causing obvious marks on the pages during clamping. The clamping mechanism is a common technical means in the field of reading racks, because other types of clamping mechanisms can be referenced from existing technologies, such as patents with application numbers CN202122069648.2 and CN202021591588.X.

[0039] A book base support plate 101 is provided in the middle of the fixing plate 10 to block the bottom edge of the books, preventing them from slipping in the second support frame configuration. This allows the books to be placed in a more convenient tilted position for reading. However, to avoid the spine of the books placed on the fixing plate 10 being severely interfered with by the book base support plate 101 when switching from the second support frame configuration to the first support frame configuration, the height of the book base support plate 101 does not exceed 10mm.

[0040] To simplify the structure, the fixing plate 10 can be omitted, and the first box 20 and the second box 30 can be directly pivotally connected to each other like existing box lids, with the two bottom plates 40 pivotally connected to the outside of the first box 20 and the second box 30. If the fixing plate 10 is omitted, the book bottom support plate 101 is located in the internal cavity of the first box 20 or the second box 30.

[0041] In this embodiment, the base plate 40 has three slots 60 on the side near the corresponding box, with each slot 60 spaced apart. The three slots 60 can accommodate support plates 50 with different rotation angles and box bodies with different tilt angles, effectively making the unfolding angle of the V-shaped reading stand adjustable for user convenience. Specifically, in the first support frame configuration, different slots 60 allow for adjustment of the book's opening and closing angle; in the second support frame configuration, different slots 60 allow for adjustment of the book's tilt angle relative to the reader.

[0042] In this embodiment, one end of the support plate 50 is pivotally connected to the side of the box body near the bottom plate 40, and the other end of the support plate 50 is provided with an insertion inclined surface 501, and each slot 60 is provided with a guide inclined surface 601. Specifically, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, the insertion ramp 501 allows the other end of the support plate 50 to be better inserted into the slot 60. The guide ramp 601 can guide the insertion of the insertion ramp 501 into the slot 60. The guide ramp 601 abuts against the back of the other end of the support plate 50.

[0043] In this embodiment, a receiving cavity 70 for accommodating the support plate 50 is provided on the side of the box body near the corresponding base plate 40, and the depth of the receiving cavity 70 is greater than the thickness of the support plate 50. This arrangement ensures that the support plate 50 does not require additional space.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the base plate 40 is larger than that of the receiving cavity 70, and the base plate 40 can conceal the receiving cavity 70. This arrangement allows the support plate 50 to be well hidden when the reading holder is not in use. Specifically, the side of the box body near the corresponding base plate 40 includes the receiving cavity 70 in the middle and the protruding edges around it, and the base plate 40 is detachably connected to the protruding edges.

[0045] In this embodiment, a magnetic closure device or snap-fit ​​structure (not shown in the figure) is provided between the base plate 40 and the corresponding box to achieve closure. Specifically, the magnetic closure device uses the attraction between a magnet and a ferromagnetic material to achieve locking. The magnet is installed on the protruding edge of the box, and an iron sheet or magnetic metal component is installed on the base plate 40. The magnetic field makes the cover and the box fit tightly together. When the base plate 40 is close to the box, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic component attracts the metal component, making the two fit tightly together, thereby achieving closure. When an external force is applied to separate the box from the base plate 40, the magnetic field weakens, and the base plate 40 can be opened freely outward. The magnetic closure device also includes a sensor or switching element for detecting changes in the magnetic field. The sensor or switching element is optional. The snap-fit ​​structure is a common detachable structure and refers to common existing technologies, as long as it can achieve a detachable connection between the base plate 40 and the corresponding box.

[0046] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 10, the first box body 20, the second box body 30, and the base plate 40 are all made of wood. Specifically, using wood makes the overall book storage box more textured, giving a warm and rustic feeling, and it also has good wear resistance and a longer service life. In addition to wood, lightweight and inexpensive plastic or wood-plastic composite materials can also be used.

[0047] The usage process of Example 1 is as follows:

[0048] To obtain the V-shaped support frame (Form 1): Open the book storage cavity, then open both bottom plates 40, so that the fixing plate 10 is parallel to the horizontal plane and both bottom plates 40 are placed on the horizontal plane. Insert the support plates 50 of the boxes corresponding to the two bottom plates 40 into the corresponding slots 60. At this time, both boxes are tilted and together form a V-shaped support frame. Then place the spine of the book to be read on the fixing plate 10, and place the front and back of the book inside the first box 20 and the second box 30 respectively.

[0049] To obtain a support frame with a single-sided tilt (Form 2): Open the book storage cavity and make the fixing plate 10 parallel to the horizontal plane. Then, open only one side of the bottom plate 40 and insert the support plate 50 of the box corresponding to the bottom plate 40 into the corresponding slot 60. At this time, the corresponding box is tilted, while the other bottom plate 40 is still close to the other box. The other box and the other bottom plate 40 are placed together on the horizontal plane. Take a book out of the book storage cavity and let the outer side of the book, i.e., the front and back of the book, rest against the inner side of the tilted box, so that the bottom edge of the book abuts against the bottom support plate 101.

[0050] When the reading rack is not in use, first put the books into the storage compartment, lower the support plate 50 and put it into the receiving cavity 70, rotate the base plate 40 inward to restore the locked state between the box and the corresponding base plate 40, and finally lock the first box 20 and the second box 30. The storage box is easy to carry with a handle (not shown in the figure).

[0051] Example 2

[0052] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the fixing plate 10 is only pivotally connected to the bottom plate 40 located outside the first box 20 or outside the second box 30, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the base plate 40 is only provided on one side, instead of both sides as in Embodiment 1. This limits the support frame to form only the second configuration described above, meaning it can only be a support frame with a single-sided tilt, and cannot be arbitrarily switched between the two configurations. However, this configuration has a lower manufacturing cost and a simpler structure than Embodiment 1.

[0053] Except for the above, the contents of Example 2 are the same as those of Example 1.

[0054] The usage process of Example 2 is the same as that of Example 1 above regarding the process of obtaining the second form of the support frame.

[0055] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
