Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe box technology, and in particular to a portable automatic folding shoe box. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of a shoe box is to provide a sturdy outer shell for shoes during transportation and storage, preventing them from being squeezed, deformed, scratched, or covered in dust. In addition, it can also isolate light, moisture, dust, and pests, preventing shoes from getting damp, moldy, or oxidized.

[0003] In the publication CN216444015U, entitled "Adjustable Height Folding Shoe Box", it is proposed that when not in use, the bottom front panel and bottom back panel are folded inward toward the bottom middle panel, and the top front panel and top back panel are folded inward toward the top middle panel. Then, by adjusting the angle between the diagonal support rods, the top middle panel falls down until it contacts the bottom panels to achieve folding. This application achieves folding through three folds, and the folded size is small and easy to carry, making it convenient for business trips, internships, etc.

[0004] However, in actual use, although the multiple folds and triple folds change the volume and size of the folding shoebox, the sturdiness of the folding shoebox is affected. At the same time, the use of a multi-plate structure will cause the weight of the shoebox to increase sharply, and it does not have the function of portability. In addition, the multiple folds structure will require a certain amount of installation and folding time when splicing and folding. Based on this, an improvement is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the problems mentioned above, this utility model provides a portable automatic folding shoe box.

[0017] 2. The lifting and lowering of the connector can be controlled with one hand, as well as whether the connector is rigid. The connector can automatically switch between folding and unfolding states without complicated installation steps. It can be operated with one hand, and the folding or unfolding process only takes a few seconds, which is more time-saving and labor-saving than traditional multi-folding structures. When the inner and outer layers of the connector are misaligned, the shoe box is in a rigid vertical state, which forms a stable support between the upper and lower covers, making it less likely to fall apart or deform, effectively protecting the shoes inside. At the same time, the misalignment or overlap of the inner and outer layers of the connector can be controlled with one hand, further facilitating operation. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0023] This embodiment mainly describes a portable automatic folding shoe box. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-9 Specifically, the use of a multi-plate structure will cause the weight of the shoe box to increase dramatically, and it will not be portable. In addition, the multi-fold structure will require a certain amount of installation and folding time when splicing and folding. A portable automatic folding shoe box is proposed, including a shoe box body 1. The shoe box body 1 includes: an upper cover 2, a lower cover 3, four sets of connecting parts 4 and a covering layer 5. The lower cover 3 is located at the lower end of the upper cover 2; All four sets of connectors 4 are located between the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3. When the shoe box body 1 is folded, all four sets of connectors 4 bend inward. When the shoe box body 1 is unfolded, the four sets of connectors 4 are in a vertical state. The connectors 4 have an inner and outer two-layer structure. When the inner and outer two-layer structures are misaligned, the vertical connectors 4 are in a rigid state. The covering layer 5 is a flexible strip structure used to cover the four sets of connectors 4, and can be opened and closed to put the shoes in or take them out.

[0024] Specifically, the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 form the upper and lower closed ends of the shoe box body 1. The four sets of connecting parts 4 are the supporting structure, creating an accommodating space between the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3. The covering layer 5 is used to seal the shoe box body 1 from all sides, forming a shoe box structure and achieving a relatively closed effect. It should be noted that the four sets of connecting parts 4 can be folded and can form a rigid vertical state, making the shoe box body 1 less likely to fall apart. The covering layer 5 can be bent without affecting the connecting parts 4.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, the upper and lower sides of the covering layer 5 are fixed to the two sides and the rear side of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3, respectively. Flexible magnetic layers 51 are fixed to the outer sides of the covering layer 5 near both ends. The upper and lower sides of the covering layer 5 are attracted to the front side of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 through the flexible magnetic layers 51, and the two ends of the covering layer 5 are also attracted to each other through the flexible magnetic layers 51.

[0026] Specifically, the covering layer 5 is fixed at the rear end and both sides of the shoe box body 1, and the front end can be separated by the flexible magnetic layer 51, so that the shoe box body 1 can be opened and closed. The covering layer 5 is a rectangular sheet that surrounds the shoe box body 1 and the two ends contact each other. They are attracted to each other by the flexible magnetic layer 51, so that the inside of the shoe box body 1 is in a relatively closed state.

[0027] The flexible magnetic layer 51 is made of flexible magnetic strips and is made of silicone. It contains magnetic fillers, which enable the flexible magnetic layer 51 to bend and deform at will.

[0028] like Figures 2-9 As shown, the upper end of the cover 2 is provided with a control frame 41. Pulling the control frame 41 upwards makes the inner and outer layers of the connector 4 overlap, which is used to fold the connector 4.

[0029] Specifically, control box 41 is a manually operated component; when moved upwards, the inner and outer layers of the connector 4 overlap, such as... Figure 6 The diagram shows the positions of the two overlapping. Figure 5 The diagram shows the positions when the two parts are misaligned. It should be noted that the inner and outer structures of connector 4 are designed as a socket. Figure 5 and Figure 6 Both diagrams are structural diagrams that were separated to facilitate observation of their positions.

[0030] like Figures 2-9 As shown, the connector 4 includes a first hinge shaft 42 and a second hinge shaft 43 located on the outer side. The lower end of the first hinge shaft 42 is hinged to the lower cover 3, and the upper end of the second hinge shaft 43 is hinged to the upper cover 2. One end of the first hinge shaft 42 and one end of the second hinge shaft 43 are in contact, and the contacting ends are both semi-circular. A connecting piece 44 is provided on the outer side of the first hinge shaft 42 and the second hinge shaft 43 for locking into the first hinge shaft 42 and the second hinge shaft 43. Both the first hinge shaft 42 and the second hinge shaft 43 can rotate along the connecting piece 44. Both hinge shaft 1 42 and hinge shaft 2 43 are hollow inside. The connector 4 also includes inner shaft 1 45 and inner shaft 2 46 located in the hollow positions of hinge shaft 1 42 and hinge shaft 2 43. The outer side of the inner shaft 1 45 and inner shaft 2 46 that are close to each other is provided with an inner piece 47 that is engaged with the inner shaft 1 45 and inner shaft 2 46. Both inner shaft 1 45 and inner shaft 2 46 can rotate along the inner piece 47. The upper end of inner shaft 2 46 is hinged to the corner of the control frame 41.

[0031] Specifically, the above describes the specific structure of connector 4. The external structure consists of hinge shaft 1 42, hinge shaft 2 43, and connecting piece 44. The internal structure consists of inner shaft 1 45, inner shaft 2 46, and inner piece 47. The internal structure is fitted inside the external structure, and the internal structure can be controlled to move up and down through the control frame 41. Both the internal and external structures have corresponding bending positions. When the corresponding bending positions of the internal and external structures coincide, connector 4 can be bent. Conversely, when the corresponding bending positions are misaligned, connector 4 remains vertical, maintaining the rigidity of the shoe box body 1.

[0032] like Figures 5-6 As shown, when the control frame 41 is in contact with the upper cover 2 downwards, the hinge position of the inner shaft 46 with the control frame 41 is misaligned with the hinge position of the hinge shaft 43 with the upper cover 2, and the inner piece 47 is misaligned with the connecting piece 44. When the control frame 41 is lifted upwards, the hinge position of the inner shaft 46 with the control frame 41 overlaps with the hinge position of the hinge shaft 43 with the upper cover 2, and the inner piece 47 overlaps with the connecting piece 44.

[0033] Specifically, when the control frame 41 moves up and down, the positions of inner shaft 1 45, inner shaft 2 46 and inner piece 47 can be changed so that they cooperate with hinge shaft 1 42, hinge shaft 2 43 and connecting piece 44, so that the connecting piece 4 can be in a rigid vertical state, or can be easily controlled to bend with one hand.

[0034] like Figures 8-9 As shown, the four corners of the control frame 41 extend downwards through the upper cover 2 and into the hinge shaft 43. There are also scale lines on the outer side of the downward extension of the control frame 41.

[0035] It should be noted that the scale lines are not shown in the diagram. The four corners of the control frame 41 extend downward through the upper cover 2. When the shaft 48 is held up with a finger, the control frame 41 will move upward. Corresponding to different scale lines, the connecting piece 4 can be bent.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a carrying frame 21 is hinged to the upper end of the cover 2, and a shaft 48 is attached to the side of the carrying frame 21. Both ends of the shaft 48 are fixed to the control frame 41.

[0037] Specifically, manually pulling the carrying frame 21 upwards will make the bent connector 4 vertical, and simultaneously pushing the shaft 48 downwards will make the connector 4 rigid. Conversely, manually pushing the carrying frame 21 downwards and hooking the shaft 48 will allow the connector 4 to be bent, thus quickly folding the shoebox body 1.

[0038] The inner walls of hinge shaft 42 and hinge shaft 43 are both smooth. Both sides of inner shaft 45 and inner shaft 46 form hollow inner walls that contact hinge shaft 42 and hinge shaft 43. Specifically, since inner shaft 45 and inner shaft 46 need to slide within the cavities of hinge shaft 42 and hinge shaft 43, the smoothness of these cavities ensures smoother sliding of inner shaft 45 and inner shaft 46.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, both the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 have retaining strips 6 on their outer end faces. The retaining strip 6 at the upper end of the upper cover 2 has a recessed cross section, while the retaining strip 6 at the lower end of the lower cover 3 has a protruding cross section, and the two can cooperate with each other.

[0040] Specifically, the card strip 6 allows the upper and lower shoe box bodies 1 to cooperate with each other, with their positions opposite each other, making them less prone to tilting and easier to stack.

[0041] Working principle: such as Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural diagram of the shoebox body 1 in its open state. Figure 7 The diagram shows the shoebox body 1 in its folded state after the covering layer 5 is hidden. The shoebox body 1 can be opened or folded as shown in the diagram. Figure 1 and Figure 7 Two state changes, shoebox body 1, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the shoebox body 1 needs to be folded, hold the handle 21 upward with one hand, and then use the extra fingers to hook the shaft 48, so that the inner shaft 1 45, inner shaft 2 46 and inner piece 47 move upward, so that the position where inner shaft 2 46 is hinged with the control frame 41 overlaps with the position where hinge shaft 2 43 is hinged with the top cover 2, and the inner piece 47 overlaps with the connecting piece 44, so that the hinge position of the connecting piece 4 can rotate. Since the covering layer 5 is flexible, it can be folded automatically, reducing weight. Only the connecting piece 4 needs to be folded to complete the folding.

[0042] During subsequent unfolding, the connecting piece 4 can be supported by pulling the handle 21 upward with one hand. After being supported, the shaft 48 is pushed downward with the same hand, so that the position of the inner shaft 46 hinged to the control frame 41 is misaligned with the position of the hinge shaft 43 hinged to the upper cover 2, and the inner piece 47 is misaligned with the connecting piece 44, thus achieving the function of fixing.

[0043] After the shoebox body 1 is fully supported, place the carrying handle 21 as follows: Figure 2 The shoe box body 1 is bent in the middle, and then the upper end of the cover 2 of the shoe box body 1 cooperates with the lower end of the other shoe box body 1 to stack and splice multiple shoe box bodies 1 and prevent them from tipping over.

The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model and its core ideas. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
