[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sliding storage boxes, and in particular to a sliding storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing household storage devices use a top-opening design, meaning items are stored or retrieved by opening the top cover. However, this upward-folding cover requires significant vertical space. In storage spaces with limited ceiling space, the top cover of a sliding storage box is difficult to fold open, making it difficult to retrieve items. Often, the entire box needs to be pulled out of the confined space to open the top cover, which is quite inconvenient. Alternatively, some existing designs have an opening at the front that folds outwards. However, this also requires space at the front of the sliding storage box, resulting in low space utilization. Opening and closing remains cumbersome and inconvenient, and the structure is overly complex. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to improve the space utilization and ease of use of sliding storage boxes. In order to solve the above technical problem, this utility model provides a sliding storage box, including a top plate assembly, a bottom plate assembly and a side plate assembly, wherein the top plate assembly, the bottom plate assembly and the side plate assembly are assembled to form a sliding storage box body.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the sliding storage box provided in this embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] In this utility model, an opening is provided in the middle of the first side panel of the side panel assembly. When it is necessary to retrieve an item, the locking device is released and the cover is pulled. Under the action of tension and gravity, the cover slides relative to the first side panel, thereby opening the opening. This allows for convenient storage and retrieval of items inside the box. The cover slides relative to the first side panel rather than rotating. When the opening is open, the cover can overlap with the first side panel, without occupying the space at the front of the box. This results in higher space utilization and is more suitable for use in narrow environments. In addition, when actually opening the opening, it is only necessary to release the locking device and pull the cover down, making the whole process simpler and more convenient.

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a sliding storage box, which includes a top plate assembly, a bottom plate assembly, and a side plate assembly, which together form a sliding storage box body.

[0028] The side panel assembly includes a first side panel 3, which has an opening. A cover plate is slidably connected to the first side panel 3 to close and open the opening. The first side panel 3 is provided with a locking member to lock and restrict the movement of the cover plate.

[0029] Specifically, traditional storage boxes either have a top-opening design, where the top cover folds back to open or can be completely removed to access the contents; or a front-opening design, where a front cover is connected to the box and rotates to open the box to access the contents. Both types of traditional storage boxes use a flip-top lid. This flip-top design takes up more space, making it inconvenient when the top or front of the box is occupied and space is limited, and also making it difficult to retrieve items from the box. In this application, the cover is designed to slide with the main body of the first side panel 3. When it is necessary to open the storage box to store or retrieve items, the locking device is released so that the cover can slide relative to the first side panel 3. Then, by pulling the cover and using its own weight, the opening can be opened easily. At the same time, the cover overlaps with other parts of the first side panel 3 instead of flipping outward. The cover occupies less space, and the space utilization of the entire storage box is changed, making it more suitable for use in narrow spaces.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first side panel 3 includes an upper side panel 31 and a lower side panel 32, which are rotatably connected. Specifically, when the storage box is disassembled and stored, the rotatable connection between the upper side panel 31 and the lower side panel 32 allows the upper side panel 31 to overlap with the lower side panel 32, thereby facilitating the storage of the storage box and reducing the space occupied by the disassembled storage box, making it easier to store after disassembly. In addition, in a particular embodiment, when the storage box is in use, the left and right sides of the upper side panel 31 can be separated from the other side panels, and the upper side panel 31 can be flipped over to overlap with the lower side panel 32, thereby ensuring that the front opening of the storage box remains open, further facilitating the access to items inside the storage box.

[0031] In the first specific embodiment, the upper side panel 31 includes an upper door frame 311, and the opening includes a first opening 312 disposed in the middle of the upper door frame 311. A first sliding groove 313 is provided on the side of the upper door frame 311, and an upper cover plate 314 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 313.

[0032] Furthermore, the lower side plate 32 is provided with a second slide groove 327 along the extension line of the first slide groove 313; the upper door frame 311 is provided with a first locking structure on the side facing the upper cover plate 314 and away from the lower side plate 32, the first locking structure is used to restrict the movement of the upper cover plate 314 to close the first opening 312.

[0033] Specifically, the main body of the upper side panel 31 includes an upper door frame 311, the back of which is slidably connected to the upper cover plate 314 via a first sliding groove 313. Simultaneously, the lower side panel 32 is provided with a second sliding groove 327 corresponding to the first sliding groove 313. The upper cover plate 314 can slide vertically up and down within the first and second sliding grooves 313 and 327. When the upper cover plate 314 slides into the second sliding groove 327, i.e., the upper cover plate 314 overlaps with the lower side panel 32, the first opening 312 is open, allowing for convenient access to items inside the storage box. When the upper cover plate 314 slides into the first sliding groove 313 and is limited by the first locking structure, the first opening 312 is closed, thus protecting the items inside the storage box. In this embodiment, the lower side panel 32 is a single unit.

[0034] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in the second specific embodiment based on the first embodiment, the lower side panel 32 includes a lower door frame 321, the opening includes a second opening 322 disposed in the middle of the lower door frame 321, a third sliding groove 323 is provided on the side of the lower door frame 321, and a lower cover plate 324 is slidably connected in the third sliding groove 323.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper door frame 311 is provided with a fourth slide groove 317 along the extension line of the third slide groove 323; the lower door frame 321 is provided with a second locking structure on the side facing the lower cover plate 324 and away from the upper door frame 311, the second locking structure is used to restrict the movement of the lower cover plate 324 to close the second opening 322.

[0036] Specifically, in actual use, because the storage box contains a lot of items, sometimes the item that needs to be retrieved is placed at the bottom of the storage box and is covered by other items. In this case, it will be very troublesome to retrieve the item, and you will have to keep rummaging through the box and take out other items one by one before you can get the item you need. In this embodiment, the main body of the lower side panel 32 is no longer a single side panel, but includes a lower door frame 321. A second opening 322 is provided in the middle of the lower door frame 321. At the same time, the third sliding groove 323 of the lower door frame 321 is slidably connected to the lower cover plate 324. The upper side panel 31 is provided with a fourth sliding groove 317 corresponding to the third sliding groove 323. When the lower cover plate 324 slides upward and overlaps with the original upper cover plate 314, the second opening 322 is opened, which makes it easy to store and retrieve items under the storage box. The opening degree of the second opening 322 can be controlled as needed, which makes it easier to retrieve items and also better prevents items from falling out of the storage box. When the lower cover plate 324 slides downward to cover the second opening 322, it can protect the items in the storage box and prevent the items in the storage box from falling out of the storage box. In one specific embodiment, different sheets and clothing can be stacked inside the storage box. In conventional flip-top storage boxes, to retrieve sheets and clothing located at the bottom, all the sheets and clothing on top must be removed, which is very inconvenient. However, in this embodiment, the second opening 322 can be opened, allowing direct access to items located at the bottom of the storage box. Furthermore, for storage boxes with a divider to separate the internal space into upper and lower sections, the design of the second opening 322 and the lower cover 324 also facilitates easier retrieval of items located in the lower part of the storage box.

[0037] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, a fifth magnet is provided at the bottom of the upper cover plate 314 corresponding to the third magnet 325, and a sixth magnet is provided at the top of the lower cover plate 324 corresponding to the first magnet 315. Simultaneously, the sixth magnet can attract the second magnet 316, thereby attracting and fixing the lower cover plate 324 and the upper cover plate 314 together. Of course, in other embodiments, only the sixth magnet can be provided, and a corresponding magnet can be provided on the upper cover plate 314, without necessarily requiring the sixth magnet to correspond to the first magnet 315. It is sufficient that the upper cover plate 314 and the lower cover plate 324 can stably overlap.

[0038] In some embodiments, the locking member includes a first locking structure and a second locking structure; the first locking structure includes a first magnet 315, and the upper cover plate 314 is provided with a second magnet 316 corresponding to the first magnet 315; the second locking structure includes a third magnet 325, and the lower cover plate 324 is provided with a fourth magnet 326 corresponding to the third magnet 325.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first and second locking structures utilize magnets. The upper cover 314 is fixed to the upper door frame 311 by magnetic attraction, and the lower cover 324 is fixed to the lower door frame 321. This structure is simpler and more reliable. To open the first opening 312, simply pull the upper cover 314 to disengage the first magnet 315 from the second magnet 316. Then, under gravity, the upper cover 314 will fall downwards, thus opening the first opening 312. The entire opening process of the first opening 312 is simpler and more convenient. Similarly, the second opening 322 can also be unlocked and slid upwards to open it more easily and conveniently. Compared to a snap-fit ​​structure, locking the upper cover 314 and lower cover 324 using magnets is simpler, more reliable, and more convenient to use.

[0040] In some embodiments, the side panel assembly includes a second side panel 4, the first side panel 3 and the second side panel 4 are perpendicularly connected, and both the first side panel 3 and the second side panel 4 are rotatably connected to the base plate assembly.

[0041] Furthermore, the top plate assembly includes a top cover plate 1, which is detachably rotatably connected to a side plate assembly.

[0042] Furthermore, the base plate assembly includes a base plate 2, which is rotatably connected to the side plates of the multiple side plate assemblies. The base plate 2 is provided with a receiving cavity 21 for receiving multiple first side plates 3 and second side plates 4. A universal roller 22 is provided on the side of the base plate 2 away from the side plate assembly.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second side panel 4 is a single, integral panel. In other embodiments, the second side panel 4 may also have an opening and a slidingly connected cover, thereby enhancing the versatility of the storage box and enabling access to items in various confined spaces. The top panel assembly is a conventional component; the top cover 1 can be flipped upwards to open the storage box or directly removed to access the items inside. The detachable top cover 1 also facilitates the overall disassembly and storage of the storage box. Finally, the accommodating cavity 21 in the bottom panel 2 can accommodate the multiple side panels and the top cover 1 after disassembly, reducing the space occupied by the disassembled storage box.

[0044] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a sliding storage box, which changes the operation mode of the cover plate so that the cover plate can slide relative to the first side plate 3, thereby opening and closing the opening on the first side plate 3. It occupies less space during use, has a higher space utilization rate, and is more convenient and simple to use.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
