[0016] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0018] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a modular storage box is provided. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The box includes a box body and a side panel 6. The box body includes a support plate 5, a bottom plate 1, a back plate 2, a top plate 3, and a cover plate 4. The cover plate 4 can be bent relative to the top plate 3 to open or close the box body. When the box body is closed, the cover plate 4 covers the support plate 5 and abuts against the support plate 5. The box body is provided with a first slot 8, and the side panel 6 is provided with a first tongue 9 corresponding to the first slot 8.

[0019] Furthermore, the side panels 6 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the box, providing support for the box.

[0020] Furthermore, the ends of the support plate 5, the bottom plate 1, the back plate 2, the top plate 3, and the cover plate 4 are all provided with first slots 8, and the side plate 6 is provided with first tongues 9 corresponding to the first slots 8.

[0021] Understandably, the storage box is formed by folding and assembling the body and side panels 6. The interior of the storage box is hollow and can be used to place utensils. The assembly process is simple and convenient, requiring no adhesives or other auxiliary connecting materials for fixation. This not only simplifies the assembly process but also avoids structural failures caused by adhesive aging and detachment, improving the durability and environmental friendliness of the storage box. At the same time, the side panels 6 provide support for the body, giving the storage box good structural stability and reusability. It can be disassembled and unfolded multiple times without being easily damaged, has a long service life, and combines practicality and economy.

[0022] For an example of an assembled storage box in this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The side plate 6 includes multiple side edges connected end to end, and the multiple side edges respectively abut against the bottom plate 1, the back plate 2, the top plate 3, the cover plate 4 and the support plate 5.

[0023] Understandably, the side panel 6, acting as a supporting frame, is located inside the box and abuts against the bottom panel 1, back panel 2, top panel 3, cover panel 4, and support panel 5, providing multi-directional support for each panel in three-dimensional space. This structure significantly improves the overall rigidity and compressive strength of the storage box, effectively preventing deformation and collapse caused by external forces during use, and enhancing durability.

[0024] Specifically, the side panel includes a first side abutting against the bottom plate 1, a second side abutting against the back plate 2, a third side abutting against the top plate 3, a fourth side abutting against the cover plate 4, and a fifth side abutting against the support plate 5. The first side and the third side are parallel, and both are perpendicular to the second side, forming an approximately rectangular or right-angled trapezoidal main support frame. This geometric layout conforms to the principle of mechanical stability and can effectively resist external forces from the vertical direction (vertical load) and the front-back direction (lateral thrust), significantly enhancing the structural stability of the storage box during use and stacking, and preventing overall twisting or tilting. The angle between the fourth side and the third side is an obtuse angle, meaning that the mounting surface of the cover plate 4 is outwardly inclined, which is conducive to the smooth opening and closing of the cover plate 4 and avoids interference with the top plate 3 or support plate 5 when closed. At the same time, in the closed state, some pressure is transmitted to the top plate 3 and support plate 5 through the inclined surface, enhancing the sealing performance and impact resistance. The angle between the fifth side and the first side is an obtuse angle, indicating that the support point of the tray 5 is offset outward, forming an "oblique support" structure. This design can improve the stability of the cover plate 4.

[0025] For an example of an assembled storage box in this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The top plate 3 and / or the cover plate 4 are provided with a plurality of through holes 7 for placing utensils.

[0026] Understandably, the through hole 7 can be set as a round hole, a square hole, and / or a rectangular hole. Furthermore, the through hole 7 can be designed in different sizes to hold different tools. For example, the rectangular hole on the cover plate 4 can be used to hold tweezers, diagonal pliers, and needle-nose pliers; the round hole on the top plate 3 can be used to hold files; the square and rectangular holes on the top plate 3 can be used to hold cleaning brushes, screwdrivers, etc.; and the interior space of the storage box can be used to hold drill bit sets, wrench sets, pen knife sets, etc.

[0027] For an example of an assembled storage box in this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The box body adopts an integral molding structure, and creases are provided at the connection between the bottom plate 1 and the support plate 5, the connection between the bottom plate 1 and the back plate 2, the connection between the back plate 2 and the top plate 3, and the connection between the top plate 3 and the cover plate 4.

[0028] Understandably, when in use, the storage box's panels can be bent and folded together using creases. When not in use, the box can be fully unfolded and laid flat, effectively reducing space occupancy during storage and transportation, and lowering unit storage and transportation costs. Furthermore, the box's one-piece molding structure ensures overall structural continuity and strength, avoiding loose connections or weak points caused by splicing multiple parts. Simultaneously, by incorporating creases in specific areas, flexible folding functionality is introduced without compromising structural integrity, achieving a design advantage that combines rigidity and flexibility.

[0029] Specifically, the box body and / or the side panel 6 are both made of polyester fiber sound-absorbing board (PET sound-absorbing board), medium density fiberboard (MDF), or acrylic board (PMMA). Different materials are selected according to different needs. For example, PET sound-absorbing board is used in occasions that require transparency or lightness; MDF is used in places where cost-effectiveness is sought and good surface treatment is required; PMMA is suitable for environments that require extremely high transparency and durability.

[0030] For an example of an assembled storage box in this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The edges of the cover plate 4 and the support plate 5 are rounded. By setting rounded edges, sharp edges can be effectively eliminated, safety risks can be reduced, and safety in use can be improved.

[0031] For an example of an assembled storage box in this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 It also includes a partition disposed inside the box body, and a second slot is provided on the box body and / or the side plate 6, and a second tongue corresponding to the second slot is provided on the partition.

[0032] Furthermore, the bottom plate 1, the top plate 3, and the side plate 6 are provided with second slots, and the top, bottom, and sides of the partition are provided with second tongues.

[0033] Understandably, by incorporating partitions within the box and securing them using the engagement of a second slot and a second tongue, the internal space of the box can be flexibly divided. This allows users to adjust the partition positions according to their actual needs, creating storage areas of different sizes, thereby more effectively managing and organizing stored items. Simultaneously, the partitions further enhance the stability and rigidity of the overall structure.
