[0022] Figure 3 A recycling box 101 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The recycling box 101 includes a box body 102 and a waterproof bag 114. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure of the box 102 is shown. And, for ease of showing the waterproof bag 114, Figure 3 The cover 104 and dustproof plate 110 of the housing 102 are omitted. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the waterproof bag 114 is located inside the housing 102. The reusable box 101 also includes at least one first connecting assembly, which includes a first connector 115 and a second connector 116. The first connector 115 is connected to the inner surface of the housing 102, and the second connector 116 is connected to the outer surface of the waterproof bag 114. The first connector 115 and the second connector 116 are detachably connected. The housing 102 defines a storage space 111, and the waterproof bag 114 is located within the storage space 111. The inner surface of the housing 102 refers to the side of the housing 102 facing the storage space 111. The waterproof bag 114 itself also defines a space capable of holding items, and the outer surface of the waterproof bag 114 refers to the side of the waterproof bag 114 facing away from the space it defines.

[0023] In this embodiment, the circulation box 101 includes two first connecting components. Correspondingly, the number of first connectors 115 and second connectors 116 are both two. The two first connectors 115 are located on the left and right sides of the box body 102, respectively, and the two second connectors 116 are located on the left and right sides of the waterproof bag 114, respectively. For ease of illustration, Figure 3 Only one first connector 115 on the left and one second connector 116 on the right are shown. The first connecting component is Velcro, and correspondingly, one of the first connector 115 and the second connector 116 is the hook side of the Velcro, and the other is the loop side of the Velcro. The first connector 115 can be bonded to the housing 102, and the second connector 116 can be bonded to the waterproof bag 114.

[0024] During the process of loading the waterproof bag 114 into the reusable container 101, the user can first place the waterproof bag 114 inside the container 102, then reach inside the waterproof bag 114 and open it, thereby connecting the first connector 115 on the outer surface of the waterproof bag 114 with the second connector 116 on the inner surface of the container 102. After the waterproof bag 114 has been loaded into the reusable container 101, the user can place the items that need protection from the waterproof bag 114 into the waterproof bag 114. During the process of removing the waterproof bag 114 from the reusable container 101, the user can first separate each first connector 115 from its corresponding second connector 116, and then remove the waterproof bag 114.

[0025] Because the waterproof bag 114 and the box 102 are connected by the first connecting component, the waterproof bag 114 is less likely to shift or deform relative to the box 102. Users do not need to frequently adjust the waterproof bag 114 by hand when putting items into it, which improves the convenience of loading items into the reusable box 101. Furthermore, since the first connecting member 115 and the second connecting member 116 are detachably connected, the waterproof bag 114 and the box 102 can also be separated. If the waterproof bag 114 or the box 102 is damaged, the user can replace it. Therefore, the maintenance cost of this reusable box 101 is relatively low.

[0026] In this embodiment, the first connecting component is a Velcro strap. In other embodiments not shown, the first connecting component can also be configured in other forms. For example, both the first connector 115 and the second connector 116 are magnets, and the first connector 115 and the second connector 116 are magnetically connected to each other. Another example is that one of the first connector 115 and the second connector 116 is a magnet, and the other is made of a material that can be attracted by a magnet (e.g., iron). Yet another example is that the first connector 115 and the second connector 116 are snap-fitted together. All of the above connection methods can achieve a detachable connection between the first connector 115 and the second connector 116, and the cost is low.

[0027] As described above, the reusable box 101 includes two first connecting assemblies, two second connecting members 116 located on opposite sides of the box body 102 (on the left and right sides respectively), and two first connecting members 115 located on opposite sides of the waterproof bag 114 (on the left and right sides respectively). In this manner, the two first connecting assemblies keep the waterproof bag 114 open, facilitating the user to take out and put in items. In other embodiments not shown, the number of first connecting assemblies may be greater than two; for example, the number of first connecting assemblies may be four, with one first connecting member 115 on each of the front, rear, left, and right sides of the box body 102, and one second connecting member 116 on each of the front, rear, left, and right sides of the waterproof bag 114.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the waterproof bag 114 can be a drawstring bag 113. That is, the waterproof bag 114 includes a bag body 112 and a drawstring 113. The drawstring 113 is connected to the bag body 112, and a portion of the drawstring 113 protrudes outside the bag body 112. The drawstring 113 can be pulled by the user to change the size of the bag opening 112. With this configuration, after the user puts items into the waterproof bag 114, they can pull the drawstring 113 to narrow the bag opening, reducing the risk of the items inside the waterproof bag 114 getting wet.

[0029] The bag body 112 of the waterproof bag 114 can be made of plastic, waterproof fabric, etc. The case body 102 can also be made of plastic, thus making the case body 102 itself waterproof and preventing the items inside from getting damp. Furthermore, the case body 102 made of plastic combines good durability with low cost.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the box 102 includes a main body 103, which defines a storage space 111. A waterproof bag 114 is located in the storage space 111, and a first connector 115 can be connected to the main body 103. Figure 4 This shows the state of box 102 after it has been completely flattened. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The main body 103 is cubic in shape and includes four side panels 105 connected in sequence, which serve as the front wall, rear wall, left wall, and right wall of the main body 103, respectively. The main body 103 also includes a first bottom panel 117, a second bottom panel 118, and a third bottom panel 119. Counting from left to right, one first bottom panel 117 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the first side panel 105, another first bottom panel is rotatably connected to the lower part of the third side panel 105, the second bottom panel 118 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the second side panel 105, and the third bottom panel 119 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the fourth side panel 105.

[0031] When it is necessary to fold the various panels into the box 102, the first end of the first side panel 105 and the last end of the fourth side panel 105 can be brought together to form a rectangular space. Then, the two first bottom panels 117 can be folded upwards to a horizontal position. Next, the third bottom panel 119 can be folded upwards to a horizontal position, covering the two first bottom panels 117. Subsequently, the fourth bottom panel can be folded upwards to a horizontal position, covering the third bottom panel 119. In this way, all the side panels 105 and all the bottom panels together define the storage space 111.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cover portion 104 includes a central plate 106 and a plurality of outer connecting plates 107. The outer connecting plates 107 are connected to the outer edge of the central plate 106, and the plurality of outer connecting plates 107 surround the central plate 106. When the housing 102 is in a closed state (e.g. Figure 1 As shown, the center plate 106 can cover the opening of the storage space 111. The housing 102 also includes at least one second connecting assembly, which includes a third connector 123 and a fourth connector 122. The third connector 123 is connected to the outer surface of the main body 103, and at least one outer connecting plate 107 is connected to the fourth connector 122. When the housing 102 is in a closed state, the center plate 106 can cover the opening of the storage space 111, and the third connector 123 and the fourth connector 122 are detachably connected. The second connecting assembly can keep the cover 104 closed to the storage space 111, preventing the items in the circulation box 101 from getting damp and preventing the items in the circulation box 101 from falling out of the circulation box 101.

[0033] Similar to the first connecting component, the second connecting component can also be configured as Velcro, meaning that one of the third connecting piece 123 and the fourth connecting piece 122 has a rough surface and the other has a hook surface. Alternatively, the third connecting piece 123 and the fourth connecting piece 122 can also be connected by magnetic attraction, snap-fit, or other methods.

[0034] It should be noted that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The individual connectors (first to eighth connectors 125) are not shown; their positions can be referenced. Figure 4 .like Figure 2 As shown, the front edge, left edge, and right edge of the center plate 106 are each connected to an outer connecting plate 107. Figure 4 As shown, each of the three outer connecting plates 107 has a fourth connector 122. Counting from left to right, the fourth connectors 122 on the first and third outer connecting plates 107 are elongated, while the fourth connector 122 on the second outer connecting plate 107 is Y-shaped. The third connectors 123 on the first and third side panels 105 are elongated, and each of the first and third side panels 105 has a first connector 115. The third connector 123 on the second side panel 105 is Y-shaped.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, counting from left to right, the fourth connector 122 on the first outer connecting plate 107 and the third connector 123 on the third side panel 105 are connected to each other, and the fourth connector 122 on the first outer connecting plate 107 and the third connector 123 on the third side panel 105 constitute a second connecting assembly.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, counting from left to right, the fourth connector 122 on the second outer connecting plate 107 and the third connector 123 on the second side panel 105 are connected to each other, and the fourth connector 122 on the second outer connecting plate 107 and the third connector 123 on the second side panel 105 constitute a second connecting assembly.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, counting from left to right, the fourth connector 122 on the third outer connecting plate 107 is connected to the third connector 123 on the first side panel 105, and the fourth connector 122 on the third outer connecting plate 107 and the third connector 123 on the first side panel 105 constitute a second connecting assembly.

[0038] In some other embodiments not shown, in order to save costs, the fourth connector 122 may not be provided on all external connecting plates 107, that is, the fourth connector 122 may be provided only on a portion of the external connecting plates 107.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, the main body 103 may also include a plurality of dustproof panels 110, which are rotatably connected to the edge of the opening of the storage space 111, with the plurality of dustproof panels 110 surrounding the opening. More specifically, as Figure 4 As shown, for the first to third side panels 105, the top of each of these three side panels 105 is connected to a dustproof panel 110. When the cabinet 102 is in a closed state, the dustproof panel 110 covers the waterproof bag 114, thereby protecting the waterproof bag 114 and reducing the risk of damage to the waterproof bag 114; the center panel 106 covers the dustproof panel 110, the center panel 106 covers the opening of the storage space 111, and prevents the dustproof panel 110 from folding outward and spreading out.

[0040] The housing 102 also includes a third connecting assembly, which includes a fifth connector 120 and a sixth connector 121. For two adjacent dustproof panels 110, one dustproof panel 110 is connected to the fifth connector 120, and the other dustproof panel 110 is connected to the sixth connector 121. The fifth connector 120 and the sixth connector 121 are detachably connected. Figure 2 As shown, two adjacent dustproof panels 110 have overlapping areas, and the third connecting component can be disposed in the overlapping area of ​​the two adjacent dustproof panels 110. Connecting the two adjacent dustproof panels 110 via the third connecting component prevents the dustproof panels 110 from folding outwards and spreading apart. Similar to the first connecting component, the third connecting component can also be configured as Velcro, i.e., one of the fifth connecting member 120 and the sixth connecting member 121 has a rough surface, and the other has a hook surface. Alternatively, the fifth connecting member 120 and the sixth connecting member 121 can also be connected by magnetic attraction, snap-fit, or other methods.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, counting from left to right, the first and third dustproof plates 110 each have a fifth connector 120, and the second dustproof plate 110 has a sixth connector 121 at each end. The fifth connector 120 on the first dustproof plate 110 is connected to the sixth connector 121 at the left end of the second dustproof plate 110, forming a third connecting assembly. The fifth connector 120 on the third dustproof plate 110 is connected to the sixth connector 121 at the right end of the second dustproof plate 110, forming a third connecting assembly.

[0042] like Figure 4As shown, the housing 102 also includes a fourth connecting assembly, which includes a seventh connector 124 and an eighth connector 125. The seventh connector 124 is disposed on the second bottom panel 118, and the eighth connector 125 is disposed on the third bottom panel 119. The seventh connector 124 and the eighth connector 125 are detachably connected to prevent the overlapping second bottom panel 118 and the third bottom panel 119 from falling apart, thereby preventing items from falling from the bottom of the housing 102. Similar to the first connecting assembly, the fourth connecting assembly can also be configured as Velcro, i.e., one of the seventh connector 124 and the eighth connector 125 has a rough surface, and the other has a hook surface. Alternatively, the seventh connector 124 and the eighth connector 125 can also be connected by magnetic connection, snap-fit, or other methods.

[0043] In some embodiments, the housing 102 may further include a locking structure (not shown), to which both the cover portion 104 and the main body portion 103 are connected. When the locking structure is in a locked state, it locks the cover portion 104, thereby preventing the cover portion 104 from releasing its cover over the opening of the storage space 111. The locking structure prevents the circulation box 101 from being accidentally opened.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main body 103 is provided with at least one pair of first connecting holes 109, and the cover 104 is provided with at least one pair of second connecting holes 108. The locking structure includes a flexible locking member. When the locking structure is in the locked state, the locking member passes through the pair of first connecting holes 109 and the pair of second connecting holes 108, thereby locking the cover 104. Specifically, counting from left to right, the center plate 106 and the dustproof plate 110 are each provided with a second connecting hole 108, and the second side plate 105 and the second dustproof plate 110 are each provided with a first connecting hole 109.

[0045] In some embodiments, the locking element may be a lock, which the user needs to open with a key. When the locking structure includes a lock, unauthorized persons without a key cannot properly open the circulation box 101, the risk of theft of items inside the circulation box 101 is low, and the circulation box 101 has good anti-theft performance. Accordingly, the latch of the lock may be provided through the first connecting hole 109 and the second connecting hole 108.

[0046] In other embodiments, to reduce costs, the locking element may be a rope or cable tie that binds the cover portion 104 and the main body portion 103 together, thereby preventing the circulation box 101 from being opened.
