Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-impact technology, specifically to a cork storage box with anti-impact features. Background Technology

[0002] As the consumer market increases its demand for sophisticated storage and item protection, these protective storage boxes are gradually evolving from traditional single storage functions to multifunctional ones, emphasizing the combination of environmentally friendly materials, targeted protection, and ease of use. The application of natural and environmentally friendly materials such as cork also aligns with the current trend of green consumption.

[0003] Existing basic storage boxes rely on filling materials such as foam and bubble wrap, which can only absorb minor impacts. Moreover, these materials are prone to aging and have poor resilience, making them unable to withstand moderate impacts such as drops or collisions. Although single elastic material boxes have cushioning properties, they are prone to deformation after long-term use, and their protective effect diminishes rapidly. This paper proposes a cork storage box with impact protection to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cork storage box with impact protection, thus solving the impact protection problem.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a cork storage box with impact protection, comprising a cork storage box body, a cork shell fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cork storage box body, a connecting frame fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the cork shell, several impact protection devices fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting frame, and sliding grooves provided on both sides of the inner wall of the cork shell.

[0006] The anti-collision device includes a connecting plate, on both sides of which are fixedly connected to sliding grooves. On both sides of the sliding grooves, there are positioning grooves. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting plate. Buffer connecting arms are rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the telescopic rod. The buffer connecting arms are adapted to the positioning grooves. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic rod.

[0007] Preferably, a movable block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove, a damping rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the positioning groove, a spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the damping rod, and the movable block is adapted to the damping rod and the buffer connecting arm.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the cork shell is fitted with a protective plate, and sliders are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective plate, the sliders being adapted to the sliding grooves.

[0009] Preferably, each of the four corners of the outer surface of the cork storage box body is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, and the bottom of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a foot pad.

[0010] Preferably, a storage box is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cork storage box body, and a partition is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box.

[0011] Preferably, the rear end of the cork storage box body is rotatably connected to a box lid via a hinge, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box lid, the sealing ring being adapted to the storage box.

[0012] This invention provides a cork storage box with impact protection. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This impact-resistant cork storage box uses cork as a natural material. Its honeycomb structure has inherent elasticity and energy absorption, achieving basic impact protection without the need for additional complex materials. At the same time, its lightweight texture reduces the overall weight and makes it easy to move. The impact force of the impact protection device acts on the mounting plate, pushing the telescopic rod to retract inward. The telescopic rod drives the buffer connecting arms on both sides to rotate along the positioning groove. This process converts the longitudinal impact force into the lateral thrust of the buffer connecting arms, thus dispersing the force. The combination design of the damping rod and spring not only absorbs the impact energy but also slows down the spring rebound speed through damping, avoiding the rebound impact caused by the rapid reset of the elastic structure.

[0014] 2. This cork storage box with impact protection features a cork shell covering the outer surface of the main body, with foot pads connected to the four corners by connecting rods. This protects the corners from collisions and reduces vibration transmission during placement. Items can be categorized using dividers, and the sealing ring automatically closes when the lid is closed. The internal items are less likely to collide when shaken due to the isolation structure.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cork storage box with anti-impact, including a cork storage box body 1, a cork shell 2 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cork storage box body 1, a connecting frame 3 fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the cork shell 2, several anti-impact devices 4 fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting frame 3, and sliding grooves 5 opened on both sides of the inner wall of the cork shell 2.

[0023] The anti-collision device 4 includes a connecting plate 401. Both sides of the connecting plate 401 are fixedly connected to sliding grooves 402. Both sides of the sliding grooves 402 are provided with positioning grooves 403. The front end of the connecting plate 401 is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod 404. Both sides of the top of the telescopic rod 404 are rotatably connected to buffer connecting arms 405. The buffer connecting arms 405 are adapted to the positioning grooves 403. The front end of the telescopic rod 404 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 406. The inner wall of the positioning groove 403 is slidably connected to a moving block 407. The bottom of the inner wall of the positioning groove 403 is fixedly connected to a damping rod 408. The outer surface of the damping rod 408 is sleeved with a spring 409. The moving block 407 is adapted to the damping rod 408 and the buffer connecting arms 405.

[0024] The cork outer shell 2 on the outer surface of the cork storage box body 1 serves as the first layer of protection, utilizing the elasticity and honeycomb structure of cork itself to initially absorb external impact forces. The connecting frame 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the cork outer shell 2, providing stable support for the anti-impact device 4. The anti-impact device 4 becomes the main buffer structure. The impact force is first transmitted to the mounting plate 406, which pushes the telescopic rod 404 to retract. The telescopic rod 404 drives the buffer connecting arms 405 on both sides to rotate. Since the buffer connecting arms 405 are adapted to the positioning grooves 403 on the sliding groove 402, their rotation will follow the trajectory of the positioning grooves 403. By dispersing the impact force through structural deformation, the force directly transmitted to the interior is reduced. When the buffer connecting arm 405 rotates due to the impact, it will push the moving block 407 in the positioning groove 403 to slide along the groove. During the sliding process of the moving block 407, it will compress the spring 409 and damping rod 408 at the bottom. The spring 409 absorbs part of the impact energy through elastic deformation, while the damping rod 408 uses the resistance of its internal damping medium to slow down the rebound speed of the spring 409, avoiding secondary impact caused by the rapid reset of the spring 409. The buffer mechanism greatly reduces the impact force on the cork storage box body 1 and the internal items.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a protective plate 6 is fitted onto the inner wall of the cork outer shell 2. Slider 7 is fixedly connected to both sides of the protective plate 6. The slider 7 is adapted to the slide groove 5. Connecting rods 8 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the outer surface of the cork storage box body 1. Foot pads 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rods 8. Storage box 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cork storage box body 1. Divider plate 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 10. The rear end of the cork storage box body 1 is rotatably connected to the lid 12 via a hinge. Sealing ring 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lid 12. Sealing ring 13 is adapted to the storage box 10.

[0026] The protective plate 6 is fitted onto the inner wall of the cork outer shell 2. The sliders 7 on both sides of the plate are adapted to the sliding grooves 5, allowing free sliding along the grooves. When an external impact force penetrates the cork outer shell 2 and the anti-impact device 4, it first acts on the protective plate 6. When the protective plate 6 is impacted, the sliding of the sliders 7 within the grooves 5 converts the locally concentrated impact force into displacement along the direction of the grooves 5, achieving lateral force dispersion. The connecting rod 8 fixes the foot pads 9 to the four corners of the cork storage box body 1. When the storage box 10 is placed on a table, the ground, or comes into contact with hard objects during transport, the foot pads 9 will deform under the force. The cork storage box 10 absorbs vibration energy through its own elasticity, preventing vibration from being directly transmitted to the inside of the box. The storage box 10 is fixed to the inner wall of the cork storage box body 1. The internal partition 11 divides the space into multiple independent areas. When the storage box 10 is shaken or impacted, the partition 11 can prevent the internal items from contacting, rubbing or colliding with each other, avoiding damage caused by the relative movement between the items. The lid 12 is connected to the rear end of the cork storage box body 1 through a hinge to ensure stable opening and closing. When closed, the sealing ring 13 at the bottom of the lid 12 is adapted to the storage box 10 and fits tightly to form a seal.

[0027] When the cork storage box 10 is subjected to an external impact such as a collision or falling, the outermost cork shell 2 will play its role first. This structure can initially weaken the intensity of the impact force and reduce the impact force that subsequent structures need to bear. If the impact force penetrates the cork shell 2, the anti-impact device 4 will activate the core buffering mechanism. The impact force will act on the mounting plate 406, pushing the telescopic rod 404 to retract inward. The telescopic rod 404 will drive the buffer connecting arms 405 on both sides to rotate along the positioning groove 403. This process will convert the longitudinal impact force into the lateral thrust of the buffer connecting arms 405, thereby dispersing the direction of the force. The buffer connecting arms 405 will push the moving block 407 in the positioning groove 403 to slide, compressing the bottom spring 409 and damping rod 408 to buffer it.

[0028] The protective plate 6 is adapted to the sliding groove 5 on the inner wall of the cork outer shell 2 via the sliders 7 on both sides, and can slide freely along the sliding groove 5. When it is impacted, the protective plate 6 will move laterally with the impact direction, converting the localized impact force into sliding energy along the direction of the sliding groove 5, thus preventing the force from acting directly on the inner cork storage box body 1. If there is still residual impact force transmitted to the inner layer, the partition plate 11 divides the internal space into independent areas to prevent items from colliding and rubbing against each other during vibration. The box lid 12 and the sealing ring 13 fit tightly to prevent items from popping out of the box due to impact or vibration. The bottom feet 9 reduce the transmission of vibration during placement through the elasticity of the rubber, further stabilizing the internal environment.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
