[0032] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the meaning that can be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0034] Currently, some products are packaged in upright cardboard boxes, using top-bottom or side-by-side cushioning structures. When removing the product, the cushioning structure and the product must be removed together before separating the product from the cushioning structure. During removal, there is also friction between the cushioning structure and the cardboard box, which increases the difficulty of removing the product.
[0035] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure proposes a receiving device that simplifies the product removal process and reduces the difficulty of removing the product.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a receiving device includes a housing 1 and a first structural member 2. The housing 1 is capable of forming a receiving space for placing a target object 3. The first structural member 2 is associated with at least one end of the housing 1 and is used to limit the target object 3 when at least one end of the housing 1 is in a first position. At least one end of the housing 1 moves away from the receiving space in the first position, causing the first structural member 2 to move away from the receiving space.
[0038] The housing 1 refers to the external structure used to contain and protect the internal objects. The housing 1 can be made of metal, plastic, paper, or other composite materials to form a closed or semi-closed containment space, thereby enclosing the target item. The housing 1 can be an electronic product housing 1, such as the outer shell of consumer electronics products like mobile phones, computers, and televisions, which is lightweight, sturdy, and has good heat dissipation performance. The housing 1 can also be a mechanical equipment housing 1, such as an engine hood or pump housing, possessing high strength and wear resistance. The housing 1 can be a one-piece housing 1, where the entire housing 1 is composed of a single part, offering strong sealing and integrity. The housing 1 can also be an assembled housing 1, composed of multiple parts, facilitating disassembly and replacement during production and maintenance. The housing 1 can also have an opening and a cover design for convenient user access to the target object 3.
[0039] Target object 3 refers to the item protected and stored by the containing device. Target object 3 can be electronic products, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other consumer electronics. Target object 3 can also be household appliances, including large appliances such as microwave ovens, washing machines, and refrigerators. Target object 3 can also be precision instruments, such as optical instruments, medical equipment, and other high-precision instruments. Target object 3 can also be handicrafts or works of art, including sculptures, paintings, ceramic products, etc. Target object 3 can also be automotive parts and other industrial products.
[0040] The first structural component 2 is part of the receiving device and is used to limit and protect the target object 3. Its main function is to ensure that the target object 3 is stably and safely held within the receiving space when at least one end of the housing 1 is in a specific position, and to simplify the removal process through a specific operating mechanism when the target object 3 needs to be removed. The first structural component 2 can be a rotary unlocking mechanism, which releases the restriction on the target object 3 by rotating a component. For example, the rotary unlocking structure can be an L-shaped structure or composed of two plate-like components with a set included angle. One end of the L-shaped structure is connected to the housing 1, thereby limiting and buffering the target object 3 in two dimensions. The first structural component 2 can also be a sliding locking mechanism, which realizes the locking and unlocking functions through a sliding component. The sliding component is connected to one or more sides of the housing 1 and can be manually pulled or released to limit the target object 3. For example, the sliding component can also be an L-shaped structure, thereby limiting the object in multiple dimensions. The sliding component can be slidably connected to the side plates 12 on both sides adjacent to the side where the first structural component 2 is located. Locking or limiting components can also be set along the sliding direction of the sliding component to lock or limit the sliding component to prevent the sliding component from sliding out during transportation. The first structural component 2 can also be a spring clamping mechanism, which uses the force of a spring to fix the target object 3. When an external force is applied to move one end of the housing 1, the spring is released, and the target object 3 is released. The spring clamping mechanism is easy to operate, provides a good cushioning effect, and is suitable for lighter target objects 3.
[0041] The first structural component 2 being associated with at least one end of the housing 1 means that there is a mechanical or functional connection between the first structural component 2 and the housing 1, allowing the action or state change of one component to affect the other, thereby enabling them to work together to effectively limit and facilitate the removal of the target object 3. The first structural component 2 can be part of the housing 1 or be fixedly and detachably connected to the housing 1, so that movement of at least one end of the housing 1 drives the movement of the first structural component 2. For example, the first structural component 2 can be connected to one end of the housing 1 by mechanical components (such as linkages, gears, slide rails, etc.), and when one end of the housing 1 moves, these mechanical components will drive the first structural component 2 to move synchronously. Alternatively, the first structural component 2 can be fixed to one end of the housing 1 by a snap-fit or latch, and when an external force is applied to move one end of the housing 1, the first structural component 2 moves accordingly. The first structural component 2 can also be mounted on the housing 1 by a sliding track or guide rail, allowing it to move along a predetermined path. When one end of the housing 1 moves, the first structural component 2 slides along the track, completing the limiting or unlocking action.
[0042] The first structural component 2 can be linked to one end of the housing 1, or it can be linked to multiple ends or sides of the housing 1. For example, the first structural component 2 can lock the side of the housing 1 when the first end of the housing 1 is in the first position, and unlock it when the first end of the housing 1 is away from the first position, so that multiple sides of the housing 1 can be opened to make it easier to take out the target object 3.
[0043] This disclosure connects the first structural member 2 to at least one end of the housing 1, so that when at least one end of the housing 1 is in the first position, it limits the target object 3. When at least one end of the housing 1 moves away from the first position to the side away from the receiving space, it drives the first structural member 2 to move outward together, thereby releasing the limitation on the target object 3. This allows the user to take out the target object 3 from at least one end of the housing 1, thereby simplifying the process of the user taking out the target object 3 and reducing the difficulty of taking out the target object 3.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that this embodiment also includes a second structural member 4. The second structural member 4 is disposed in the accommodating space and is part of the housing 1 or disposed independently of the housing 1 and may or may not be connected to the housing 1. The second structural member 4 can form a limiting space with the first structural member 2 for limiting the target object 3. The first structural member 2 is part of the housing 1 or is detachably connected to the housing 1.
[0046] The second structural component 4 is a component disposed within the housing space. It can be part of the housing 1 or exist independently of the housing 1, and can be connected to or not connected to the housing 1. Its main function is to work in conjunction with the first structural component 2 to form a limiting space for confining the target object 3, thus ensuring the stability of the target object 3 during transportation and storage and preventing damage due to movement or collision. As part of the housing 1, the second structural component 4 can be directly integrated into the housing 1, for example, through molding or other manufacturing processes. The second structural component 4 being part of the housing 1 makes the housing structure robust and highly integrated, reducing assembly steps and costs, and is suitable for applications requiring high reliability and durability, such as high-end electronic product packaging and precision instrument transport cases. Although the second structural component 4 is an independent component but connected to the housing 1, it is connected to the housing 1 in some way (such as with clips, screws, adhesives, etc.), and its position and shape can be flexibly adjusted according to specific needs, facilitating maintenance and replacement. The second structural component 4, which is independent of and not connected to the housing 1, is a completely independent part. It is placed in the housing space and does not need to be physically connected to the housing 1. It is highly flexible and can be freely arranged according to actual needs, making it suitable for a variety of different application scenarios.
[0047] The second structural component 4 can be made of materials such as foam plastic, molded pulp, rubber, and elastomers to provide cushioning for the target component. The second structural component 4 can also have internal perforations, corrugated structures, or mesh structures to further enhance its cushioning effect.
[0048] The first structural component 2 and the second structural component 4 work together to form an effective limiting space to fix the target object 3, including clamping limiting, nesting limiting, and combined limiting. Clamping limiting involves the first structural component 2 and the second structural component 4 being located on opposite sides of the target object 3, achieving a clamping effect through relative movement. Clamping limiting provides a stable clamping force and is suitable for regularly shaped target objects 3. Nesting limiting involves the second structural component 4 being designed as a groove or nested structure that matches the shape of the target object 3, while the first structural component 2 fixes the target object 3 within the groove through a pressing or locking mechanism. Clamping limiting can tightly fit the target object 3, providing all-around protection. Combined limiting combines the advantages of multiple limiting methods, such as clamping and nesting, to adapt to complex application scenarios. Combined limiting offers high flexibility and can handle various shapes and sizes of target objects 3.
[0049] Example 3
[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that: a snap-fit part 5 is provided on the side of the first structural member 2 near at least one end of the housing 1, and a corresponding slot 23 is provided on the side of the housing 1 near the first structural member 2. The snap-fit part 5 and the slot 23 cooperate to snap the first structural member 2 onto at least one end of the housing 1.
[0051] The first structural member 2 is connected to the housing 1 via a snap-fit part 5 and a slot 23. This design not only ensures the secure installation of the first structural member 2 on the housing 1 but also provides the possibility of easy disassembly and replacement. The snap-fit part 5 is located on the side of the first structural member 2 near at least one end of the housing 1. The snap-fit part 5 can be designed with a specific shape and size to insert into and fix itself in the corresponding slot 23 of the housing 1, realizing the mechanical connection between the first structural member 2 and the housing 1. The slot 23 is located on the side of the housing 1 near the first structural member 2 and is used to receive and fix the snap-fit part 5 on the first structural member 2, ensuring a stable connection between the two and allowing a certain degree of flexibility for disassembly and reinstallation. The shape of the snap-fit part 5 can be designed with barbs, protrusions 21, or other locking features to ensure that it will not easily slip out after insertion. The shape of the slot 23 corresponds to the shape of the snap-fit part 5, ensuring that the snap-fit part 5 can be smoothly inserted and locked in the appropriate position. Materials with a certain degree of elasticity and strength, such as engineering plastics, metals, and paper-plastic composites, can be selected to ensure that the snap-fit part 5 will not be damaged during repeated insertion and removal.
[0052] The design of the snap-fit part 5 and the slot 23 allows the first structural component 2 to be quickly and accurately installed onto the housing 1 without the need for complex tools or procedures. It also facilitates disassembly and maintenance when needed. The tight fit between the snap-fit part 5 and the slot 23 ensures the stability of the first structural component 2 during transportation and use, preventing functional failure or damage due to loosening. Compared to other complex connection methods (such as screws, welding, etc.), the snap-fit design simplifies the manufacturing and assembly process, reducing production costs. The snap-fit design allows for multiple disassembly and assembly without affecting its performance, making it suitable for applications requiring frequent maintenance or component replacement.
[0053] Example 4
[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is that the second structural member 4 and the first structural member 2 are rotatably connected. When at least one end of the housing 1 is in the first position, the second structural member 4 and the first structural member 2 form a limiting space for limiting the target object 3.
[0055] The second structural member 4 and the first structural member 2 cooperate through a rotatable connection, and when at least one end of the housing 1 is in a specific first position, they together form a limiting space for limiting the target object 3. A rotatable connection refers to the relative movement between the two structural members through a rotational mechanism, such as a hinge, pivot, or rotating shaft. This connection allows the second structural member 4 to rotate relative to the first structural member 2 at a certain angle, thereby achieving different functional states. The second structural member 4 and the first structural member 2 can be integrally formed, with a flexible material between them to achieve the rotatable connection. A hinge consists of two interconnected parts that allow rotation about a fixed axis. Different types of hinges can be selected as needed, such as spring hinges or friction hinges. A pivot is a fixed axis that allows the structural member to rotate around it. The pivot can be a simple cylindrical shaft or a complex design with a locking mechanism. The maximum rotation angle of the second structural member 4 relative to the first structural member 2 can also be set according to actual needs, such as 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 360 degrees. To ensure the stability of the second structural component 4 in a specific position, a locking mechanism, such as a latch, spring pin, or magnet, can be designed. These mechanisms can lock the position of the second structural component 4 when needed, preventing accidental movement.
[0056] When at least one end of the housing 1 is not in the first position, the second structural member 4 and the first structural member 2 are in a non-limiting state, that is, the angle between them is large or they are completely separated, and no effective limiting space is formed. When at least one end of the housing 1 moves to the first position, the first structural member 2 moves in coordination through rotational connection, gradually approaching and finally forming a closed limiting space, firmly restricting the target object 3 within it. During this process, the second structural member 4 can rotate from an open angle to a closed angle, closely cooperating with the first structural member 2 to form a stable limiting structure 42.
[0057] Through a rotating connection design, the second structural component 4 and the first structural component 2 can flexibly cooperate to form an effective limiting space, ensuring that the target object 3 is well protected during transportation and storage. This design not only improves the functionality of the product but also enhances the user experience.
[0058] Example 5
[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 4 is that the second structural member 4 includes a first support member 41, and a limiting structure 42 is provided on both sides of the first support member 41. The limiting structure 42 can limit the target object 3 in the first direction. When at least one end of the shell 1 is in the first position, at least part of the projection of the first structural member 2 along the second direction overlaps with the first support member 41 so as to limit the target object 3 in the second direction. The first direction and the second direction satisfy the perpendicular condition.
[0060] The first support member 41 is the core component of the second structural member 4. Its main function is to provide basic support for the limiting structure 42 and ensure the stability of the target object 3 within it. The first support member 41 can be customized according to the shape and size of the target object 3 to ensure a close fit and provide sufficient support. It can be designed as a flat plate, a groove, or other shapes, depending on the needs of the target object 3. The first support member 41 can be made of materials with sufficient strength and rigidity, such as engineering plastics, metals, or composite materials. Cushioning materials can also be added inside or on the surface of the first support member 41 to improve the cushioning effect.
[0061] The limiting structures 42 are disposed on both sides of the first support member 41, mainly used to limit the target object 3 in the first direction. The number of limiting structures 42 can be adjusted according to actual needs; at least two limiting structures 42 can be symmetrically arranged to provide better stability. The limiting structures 42 can take the form of protrusions, baffles, buckles, etc., and restrict the movement of the target object 3 through physical contact. The limiting structures 42 can be designed as adjustable structures to accommodate target objects 3 of different sizes.
[0062] The target object 3 is placed inside the first support member 41, and the limiting structure 42 initially limits it in the first direction. When at least one end of the housing 1 moves to the first position, the first structural member 2 moves accordingly, and the projection of a portion of it along the second direction overlaps with the first support member 41. This projection overlap ensures that the target object 3 is also effectively supported and limited in the second direction. The limiting structure 42 of the first support member 41 limits the target object 3 in the first direction. The projection of the first structural member 2 in the second direction overlaps with the first support member 41, limiting the target object 3 in the second direction. Since the first and second directions satisfy the perpendicular condition, this dual limiting mechanism ensures that the target object 3 is effectively fixed in two approximately orthogonal directions.
[0063] The first direction and the second direction satisfying the perpendicular condition means that the first direction and the second direction are approximately perpendicular, for example, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can be between 80 degrees and 100 degrees. The first structural component 2 may include multiple limiting protrusions 21, which are arranged along the first direction to limit multiple points of the target object 3, ensuring the stability of the limiting while achieving lightweight. When at least one end of the housing 1 moves to the first position, the protrusions 21 can be spaced apart from or opposite to the first support body along the second direction to clamp the target object 3 and thus limit the target object 3 in the second direction.
[0064] Example 6
[0065] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some modified embodiments of this application, the second structural member 4 further includes a second support member 43. The second support member 43 may or may not be connected to the first support member 41. When at least one end of the housing 1 is in the first position, at least a portion of the second support member 43 and a portion of the first structural member 2 are opposite each other along a third direction to limit the target object 3 in that third direction. The third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions. The second support member 43 is another component used to enhance the limiting effect on the target object 3. It can exist independently of the first support member 41 or be connected to the first support member 41.
[0066] The second support member 43 is another component used to enhance the limiting effect on the target object 3. It can exist independently of the first support member 41 or be connected to it. It is customized according to the shape and size of the target object 3 to ensure a tight fit and provide sufficient support. The second support member 43 can be designed as a flat plate, a groove, or other shapes, depending on the shape of the target object 3. If the second support member 43 is connected to the first support member 41, a flexible connection can be achieved through hinges, slide rails, snap-fits, etc. If the second support member 43 exists independently, its positional stability can be ensured through other mechanisms (such as the fixing points of the housing 1).
[0067] The target object 3 is placed inside the first support member 41. The limiting structures 42 on both sides of the first support member 41 initially limit it in a first direction: when at least one end of the shell 1 moves to the first position, the first structural member 2 moves accordingly, and the projection of a portion of it along the second direction overlaps with the first support member 41, limiting the target object 3 in the second direction. The second support member 43 is opposite to a portion of the first structural member 2 along a third direction, limiting the target object 3 in a third direction. The first structural member 2 may include a support plate 22, which is provided with multiple protrusions 21. The extension direction of the protrusions 21 is perpendicular to the support surface of the support plate 22. When at least one end of the shell 1 moves to the first position, the support plate 22 and the second structural member 4 are positioned opposite each other to limit the target object 3 in a third direction. The projection of the protrusions 21 along the second direction overlaps with the first support member 41, limiting the target object 3 in the second direction. The second support member 43 can have the same structure as the first structural member 2, and be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the limiting space. The second support member 43 can also be provided with multiple protrusions 21 to limit the target object 3 in multiple dimensions.
[0068] The third direction being perpendicular to the first and second directions means that the first, second, and third directions are approximately perpendicular, for example, the angle between them can be between 80 degrees and 100 degrees.
[0069] Example 7
[0070] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 5 is that a limiting block 421 is provided on the side of the limiting structure 42 away from the limiting space, and a limiting hole 6 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1 accordingly. The limiting hole 6 and the limiting block 421 cooperate to limit the first support member 41 within the accommodating space.
[0071] The limiting block 421 is located on the side of the limiting structure 42 away from the limiting space, i.e., near the inner wall of the housing 1. The limiting block 421 can be designed as a protrusion, and can be square, circular, or other shapes, depending on the design of the limiting hole 6. The limiting block 421 can use the same material as the first support member 41, such as engineering plastics or metal, to ensure strength and durability. The limiting hole 6 is located on the inner wall of the housing 1, corresponding to the position of the limiting block 421. The shape of the limiting hole 6 matches that of the limiting block 421, and can be square, circular, or other geometric shapes. The limiting hole 6 can be slightly larger than the size of the limiting block 421 to facilitate insertion and locking, while preventing excessive loosening. This design further enhances the fixing effect on the first support member 41 and the target object 3 it carries, ensuring that it will not shift or loosen during transportation and storage. It also prevents the first support member 41 from moving with the target object 3 when it is removed, reducing the difficulty of removing the target object 3.
[0072] Example 8
[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 6 is that the housing 1 includes a main body, and at least one end of the housing 1 is a folding portion 11. The folding portion 11 is rotatably connected to the main body. When the folding portion 11 is in the second position, one end of the housing 1 forms an opening so that the target object 3 can be taken out from the opening. The main body, as the main part of the accommodating space, is used to store the target object 3. The main body can be made of a material with certain strength and rigidity, such as engineering plastics, metals, or composite materials. The folding portion 11 is rotatably connected to the main body and can rotate within a certain range, thereby opening or closing one end of the housing 1. The folding portion 11 can be made of the same material as the main body to ensure the strength and consistency of the overall structure. Rotational connection means that the folding portion 11 and the main body achieve relative movement through some rotation mechanism. Connection methods include hinges, pivots, etc. To ensure that the folding portion 11 remains stable in a specific position, a locking mechanism can be designed, such as a buckle, spring pin, magnet, etc.
[0074] The target object 3 is placed inside the main body of the housing 1, with the folding part 11 in the first position, forming a closed space within the housing 1 to ensure the safety of the target object 3. When the folding part 11 rotates around the rotating connection to the second position, an opening forms at one end of the housing 1, causing the first structural member 2 to move away from the receiving space to release the restriction on the target object 3, allowing the user to easily remove the target object 3 through the opening. By using the rotating connection of the folding part 11 to achieve the opening and closing function, the convenience of retrieving the object and the overall functionality of the packaging can be significantly improved, thereby enhancing the user experience of the product.
[0075] Example 9
[0076] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 8 is that: the main body includes a bottom plate and side plates 12, and the bottom plate and the folding part 11 are rotatably connected; multiple side plates 12 are provided, and multiple side plates 12 are connected to the bottom plate, forming an accommodating space; wherein, when the folding part 11 is in the first position, the folding part 11 is connected to at least one side plate 12 to lock the position of at least one side plate 12; when the folding part 11 is in the second position, the folding part 11 disengages from at least one side plate 12 so that at least one side plate 12 can move relative to the bottom plate to open so that at least one side of the housing 1 is opened.
[0077] The base plate serves as the foundation for the accommodating space, supporting the target object 3 and the second structural component 4. Multiple side plates 12 surround the base plate, forming a relatively enclosed space. The side plates 12 can be fixedly connected to the base plate or folded via hinges or other rotating connections. The side plates 12, together with the base plate, form the accommodating space, and at least one side plate 12 can be locked or unlocked via a folding section 11. The folding section 11 is rotatably connected to the base plate and can rotate within a certain range, thereby opening or closing one end of the housing 1. Furthermore, the folding section 11 also functions to lock and unlock the side plate 12. For example, a latch can be provided between the folding section 11 and the side plate 12. When the folding section 11 is in the first position, the latch automatically locks the side plate 12; when the folding section 11 rotates to the second position, the latch releases, allowing the side plate 12 to move freely. The folding section 11 can also have a built-in pin that automatically inserts into the hole on the side plate 12 when the folding section 11 is in the first position, locking the side plate 12. When the folding section 11 rotates to the second position, the spring pin retracts, allowing the side plate 12 to move freely. This design is simple, easy to operate, and suitable for applications requiring quick locking and unlocking. A socket can also be provided on the side of the side plate 12 near the folding section 11. Connecting plates are provided on both sides of the folding section 11. When the folding section 11 is in the first position, the connecting plates can be inserted into the socket, thereby improving the stability of the housing 1 structure. At least one side plate 12 can be one side plate 12 or two side plates 12, allowing the folding section 11 to open from multiple sides when in the second position for easy access to the target item. For example, there can be two parallel side plates 12, allowing the housing 1 to open on three sides when the folding section 11 is in the first position.
[0078] The main body may also include a cover plate 13, which is disposed opposite to the bottom plate to form a closed space together. The cover plate 13 can be rotatably connected to the side of the main body away from the folding part 11. A folding structure 14 is provided on the side of the cover plate 13 near the folding part 11. The folding structure 14 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 13 and can be inserted into the insertion hole of the side plate 12. When the folding part 11 is in the first position, the folding structure 14 can be disposed on the side of the folding part 11 away from the receiving space and inserted into the insertion hole to further limit the folding part 11, thereby further ensuring the stability of the shell 1 structure. The folding part 11 can also be disposed at a position opposite to the connection position between the folding part 11 and the bottom plate to further improve the limiting effect of the folding structure 14 on the folding part 11.
[0079] Example 10
[0080] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 8 is that: the multiple side plates 12 include a first side plate 7, which is disposed at the end of the housing 1 away from the folding part 11; the second support member 43 is associated with the first side plate 7, and the second support member 43 is used to limit the target object 3 when the first side plate 7 is in the third position; the first side plate 7 moves away from the receiving space in the third position, which drives the second support member 43 to move away from the receiving space.
[0081] The first side plate 7 is located at the end of the housing 1 away from the folding part 11. The first side plate 7 is associated with the second support member 43 and is used to limit the target object 3 in the third position. The second support member 43 can be connected to the base plate by a hinge or other rotation mechanism, allowing it to move outward when necessary to release the target object 3.
[0082] The second structural member 4 may further include a third support member 44. The structure of the third support member 44 may be the same as that of the first support member 41. The structure of the second support member 43 may be the same as that of the first structural member 2. The folding part 11 and the first side plate 7 may have the same structure and be symmetrically distributed on both sides of the shell 1, which facilitates the limiting of the target object 3 and also facilitates manufacturing. The specific structure of the second support member 43 and its connection method with the shell 1 may be as described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here. By setting the second support member 43 and the first side plate 7 in a related configuration, when the folding part 11 is in the first position and the first side plate 7 is in the third position, at least three sides of the shell 1 can be opened, making it easier to retrieve the target item.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
