Technical Field

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

[0002] Storage boxes are widely used in daily life, office settings, and commercial displays as tools for storing items, organizing space, or displaying merchandise. While there are many types of storage boxes on the market, they still have shortcomings in terms of structural design, manufacturing process, and ease of use. Traditional storage boxes are mostly made of wood, plastic or metal and assembled by splicing, gluing or welding. These storage boxes often have complex structures and a large number of parts, which not only increases the difficulty and cost of production and processing, but also requires users to spend more time and effort in the assembly process. In addition, the assembled storage box has a fixed volume, which is not convenient for transportation and storage, and will take up a lot of space when not in use.

[0003] Therefore, a foldable storage box needs to be designed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a foldable storage box. This utility model features a simple structure, easy assembly and folding, environmentally friendly materials, and good storage and handling functions to meet users' needs in different scenarios and improve the practicality and economy of the storage box.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A foldable storage box includes a frame, with multiple insertion slots on the front side of the frame, two shelves inside the frame, each shelf having multiple through holes, the left and right sides of the two shelves being inserted into corresponding insertion slots, multiple right-angle openings on the frame, hollow blocks fixedly connected to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the frame, and lifting holes on both the left and right sides of the frame.

[0006] Preferably, the frame includes a middle plate, and side plates are provided on both the left and right sides of the middle plate. A crease is provided at the connection between the two side plates and the middle plate. The lifting hole and the insertion port are both opened on the two side plates. The frame is integrally formed.

[0007] Preferably, the shelf includes a convex plate, a vertical plate on the front side of the convex plate, a flip plate on the rear side of the vertical plate, a crease at the connection between the convex plate and the vertical plate, a crease at the connection between the flip plate and the vertical plate, and a plurality of through holes are provided on the convex plate.

[0008] Preferably, each of the insertion ports is provided with a limiting groove at its lower end, and each of the convex plates and flip plates is fixedly connected with a limiting block that cooperates with the limiting groove at its lower end.

[0009] Preferably, each of the two side panels has a transverse groove on its adjacent side, and each of the two shelves has a shelf at its upper end. The two ends of the two shelves are slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding transverse groove.

[0010] Preferably, the frame, shelf, and hollow block are all made of cardboard.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this device are: Compared with existing technologies, the frame of this device is integrally formed from cardboard, and the middle plate and side plates are connected by creases to achieve the folding function. It eliminates the need for splicing, gluing or welding of multiple parts, which greatly reduces the number of parts, reduces the difficulty and cost of production and processing, and avoids the structural looseness problem caused by traditional assembly methods, thus improving the overall structural stability. Compared with existing technologies, the frame can be quickly bent into a U-shaped structure through creases, and the shelf can be precisely assembled with the frame through the insertion port and limiting block. The whole process does not require tools and is simple and labor-saving. When not in use or during transportation, the frame and shelf can be folded into a flat shape, which greatly reduces the space occupied and solves the problem of fixed volume and inconvenience of storage and transportation of traditional storage boxes. Compared with existing technologies, the frame, shelves and other components are all made of cardboard, which is environmentally friendly and biodegradable, avoiding the pollution of the environment caused by plastic or metal materials and conforming to the concept of green development. The through holes on the shelves can be used to place products. When products need to be placed through the through holes, they can be used directly. If products are prone to falling through the through holes, they can be placed on shelves. The storage method can be flexibly adjusted by the sliding connection between the horizontal groove and the shelf. The lifting holes on both sides of the frame are also designed to facilitate transportation, comprehensively meeting various needs such as daily storage and display. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0015] Reference Figures 1-6 A foldable storage box includes a frame 1 with multiple insertion slots 10 on the front side. Two shelves 5 are located inside the frame 1, each with multiple through holes 8. The diameter of the through holes 8 can be designed according to the size of common storage products, used to limit the placement of products with regular shapes such as columns and tubes. The left and right sides of the two shelves 5 are inserted into the corresponding insertion slots 10. The frame 1 has multiple right-angle openings 3. Hollow blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the frame 1. The hollow blocks 7 are formed by folding and gluing cardboard, and their hollow internal structure enhances the structural strength of both sides of the frame 1 while providing lateral support for the shelves 5. Lifting holes 2 are provided on both sides of the frame 1. The shape of the lifting holes 2 is adapted to the grip size of a human hand, making it convenient for users to move the storage box. The frame 1, shelves 5, and hollow blocks 7 are all made of cardboard.

[0016] The frame 1 includes a middle plate 12, with side plates 13 on both the left and right sides of the middle plate 12. The middle plate 12 serves as the back support structure of the storage box, and the side plates 13 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the middle plate 12 to form lateral enclosures. The connection between the two side plates 13 and the middle plate 12 is provided with creases. The creases are preset bending paths formed by the creasing process, allowing the side plates 13 to rotate 0-90° relative to the middle plate 12. The lifting hole 2 and the insertion port 10 are both opened on the two side plates 13. The frame 1 is integrally processed and manufactured through a single cutting and creasing process, without the need for subsequent assembly processes. The right-angle opening 3 penetrates the creases of the middle plate 12 and the side plates 13.

[0017] The shelf 5 includes a convex plate 14, a vertical plate 15 on the front side of the convex plate 14, a flip plate 16 on the rear side of the vertical plate 15, a crease at the connection between the convex plate 14 and the vertical plate 15, and a crease at the connection between the flip plate 16 and the vertical plate 15. The two creases work together to allow the shelf 5 to be folded into a flat shape. Multiple through holes 8 are provided on the convex plate 14.

[0018] Each insertion port 10 has a limiting groove 11 at its lower end, and each convex plate 14 and flip plate 16 has a limiting block 6 that cooperates with the limiting groove 11 at its lower end. The axial fixation of the shelf 5 is achieved by snap-fit, so as to avoid the deformation of the shelf 5 and the frame 1 after assembly.

[0019] The two side panels 13 are provided with horizontal grooves 9 on adjacent sides, and the upper ends of the two shelves 5 are provided with shelves 4. The shelves 4 are rectangular flat plates with smooth surfaces and no burrs. The two ends of the shelves 4 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the corresponding horizontal grooves 9.

[0020] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation: The integrally formed cardboard frame 1 is unfolded, and bent through the crease at the connection between the middle plate 12 and the side plates 13, causing the side plates 13 to rotate relative to the middle plate 12 until the frame 1 forms a stable U-shaped structure. At this time, the lifting holes 2 and insertion slots 10 on the side plates 13 are ready for use, providing a basic framework for subsequent assembly. Next, the left and right sides of the shelf 5 are aligned with the insertion slots 10 on the side plates 13 of the frame 1 and inserted. At this time, the limiting block 6 at the lower end of the shelf 5 simultaneously enters into the limiting groove 11 at the lower end of the insertion slot 10, preventing deformation of the frame 1 and completing the precise fixing of the shelf 5 to the frame 1. When placing items, choose the storage method according to the characteristics of the product. When the product shape is suitable for the through hole 8 on the shelf 5, the product can be directly inserted into the through hole 8 to achieve limited storage. When the product is small or easily falls out of the through hole 8, insert the shelf 4 into the corresponding horizontal groove 9 so that the shelf 4 is above the shelf 5 and the product is placed stably on the surface of the shelf 4. By flexibly switching, the storage needs of different products can be met.

[0021] When you need to move the storage box, you can easily move it by holding the lifting holes 2 on both side panels 13 with both hands. The structural strength of the cardboard enables stable load-bearing. After use, remove the shelf 4 from the horizontal groove 9, pull out the shelf 5 to disengage the limiting block 6 from the limiting groove 11, and then bend the side plate 13 in the opposite direction to unfold the frame 1 into a flat shape. The shelf 5 can also be folded through its own creases, and finally all parts are stored in a flat state, which greatly saves storage space.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
