Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage box technology, specifically a children's clay storage box with partitioned material dispensing ports. Background Technology

[0002] Children's clay is a craft material specifically designed for young children. It is typically made from natural ingredients, is safe and non-toxic, and boasts excellent plasticity and ease of use. Children's clay not only stimulates children's creativity and imagination but also helps improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Therefore, clay is a popular and commonly used tool in early childhood education and recreational activities.

[0003] However, with the widespread use of children's clay, higher requirements have been placed on its storage and management. Currently, many parents and educators typically store different colors of clay in separate boxes to avoid mixing and contamination. While this storage method can maintain the independence of the clay to some extent, it has some significant drawbacks in practice.

[0004] First, storing boxes separately often requires opening multiple boxes frequently during use. Young children may arrange these boxes haphazardly while playing, increasing the difficulty of tidying up and putting them away. This chaotic situation not only affects the children's creative experience but also creates an additional cleaning burden for parents and teachers.

[0005] Secondly, to ensure the storage box's airtightness, many existing storage boxes use a tight-fitting or snap-on design. While this design effectively prevents air from entering and extends the clay's lifespan, opening the box can be cumbersome for young children. They may need to pry open the lid forcefully, which can lead to frustration and even damage to the storage box or accidental spillage of clay, increasing safety hazards.

[0006] Therefore, while existing storage methods meet the need for separate storage of clay, they fall short in terms of ease of use and neatness of organization. To address these issues, we propose a children's clay storage box with partitioned dispensing openings. This design not only effectively categorizes and stores clay of various colors but also ensures airtightness while allowing children to easily access the clay independently, enhancing their hands-on experience. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a children's clay storage box with partitioned dispensing ports to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A children's clay storage box with partitioned dispensing ports includes a storage box body, a lid fitted onto the top of the storage box body, and fasteners connecting the left and right sides of the storage box body to the lid. The storage box body has multiple storage compartments for independently storing clay of different colors to avoid mixing. The top of the lid has multiple dispensing ports arranged in a matrix, each dispensing port communicating with a storage compartment, serving as a dispensing channel for each storage compartment. The inlet is equipped with a material-retrieving component to enable sealed storage and retrieval of clay and one-handed operation by children. The material-retrieving component includes a rectangular channel communicating with the inlet, which serves as the path for removing the clay. A cover is hinged to the top of the rectangular channel to open and close the rectangular channel and prevent the clay from drying out. A fixing block is provided on the front side of the cover, and a positioning component is provided on the front side of the rectangular channel to position the fixing block. The fixing block cooperates with the positioning component to lock the cover in the closed state.

[0009] Preferably, the storage box is provided with an anti-slip pad at the bottom and near the outer edge to increase the friction between the box and the contact surface to prevent slipping. The anti-slip pad has a frame-shaped structure. The left and right sides of the storage box are rotatably connected to handles to facilitate children or parents to carry the storage box.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the lid is provided with a rubber liner, and the inner wall of the rubber liner is tightly fitted to the outer side of the storage box body to enhance the sealing between the lid and the storage box body to isolate air.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom edge of the lid is provided with a frame-shaped rubber pad, and when the lid is closed, the bottom of the frame-shaped rubber pad fits tightly against the top of the rectangular channel, providing a seal to prevent the clay from contacting the air.

A second spring is fixedly connected to the front end of the inner wall of the first circular groove. A hemispherical top block is provided at the rear end of the second spring. The hemispherical structure allows the fixing block to rotate smoothly downward when the cover is closed, so that the positioning component is positioned there. When the lid is closed, the hemispherical top block rests against the front side of the rectangular channel. When the positioning member releases the positioning of the fixed block, the second spring resets, causing the hemispherical top block to move out of the first circular groove, thereby pushing the fixed block outward, thus causing the hemispherical positioning groove and the hemispherical positioning block to be misaligned, so that the child can open the lid with one hand.

[0013] Preferably, the positioning component includes a rectangular horizontal block, a second circular groove is provided on the left side of the rectangular horizontal block, a pull rod is movably connected in the second circular groove, a circular slider is provided at the left end of the pull rod, a hemispherical positioning block is provided on the left side of the circular slider, and a hemispherical positioning groove adapted to the hemispherical positioning block is provided on the right side of the fixing block. When the cover is closed, the hemispherical positioning block is engaged in the hemispherical positioning groove, thereby fixing the position of the cover after it is closed.

[0014] Preferably, a first spring is sleeved on the outer side of the pull rod. The left end of the first spring abuts against the right side of the circular slider, and the right end of the first spring abuts against the right end of the inner wall of the second circular groove. The hemispherical positioning block is automatically returned to its position through elastic reset. The right end of the pull rod passes through the inner wall of the second circular groove and is connected to a pull plate, which makes it easy for children to unlock the cover by pulling.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This children's clay storage box with partitioned dispensing ports features multiple storage compartments inside the box, along with a matrix of dispensing ports and dispensing parts on the lid. This allows for the separate storage and independent access of clay of different colors, avoiding the clutter caused by children frequently switching between multiple storage boxes during use. It significantly improves the neatness of storage and operational efficiency.

[0016] 2. This children's clay storage box with partitioned dispensing ports adopts an automatic unlocking structure that links the positioning component with a spring, allowing children to open the lid with just one hand by gently pulling the lever. This solves the problem of laborious operation of traditional tightly fitted or snap-on lids, reducing the difficulty of operation and minimizing frustration and the risk of accidental damage.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: A children's clay storage box with partitioned dispensing ports includes a storage box body 100, a lid 200 fitted onto the top of the storage box body 100, and the left and right sides of the storage box body 100 connected to the lid 200 by buckles 400. The storage box body 100 has multiple storage compartments 101 for independently storing clay of different colors to avoid mixing. The top of the lid 200 has multiple dispensing ports 201 arranged in a matrix, and the multiple dispensing ports 201 are respectively connected to multiple storage compartments 101, serving as dispensing channels for each storage compartment 101. A material-retrieving component 300 is provided at the feeding port 201 to realize the sealed storage and retrieval of clay and the one-handed operation function of children. The material-retrieving component 300 includes a rectangular channel 310 communicating with the feeding port 201. Both the rectangular channel 310 and the lid 200 are made of transparent material so that children can observe the color of the clay and use it as a path for taking out the clay. The top of the rectangular channel 310 is hinged to a lid 320 for opening and closing the rectangular channel 310 and preventing the clay from drying out. A fixing block 330 is provided on the front side of the lid 320, and a positioning component 340 is provided on the front side of the rectangular channel 310 for positioning the fixing block 330. The fixing block 330 and the positioning component 340 lock the lid 320 in the closed state.

[0021] In this embodiment, an anti-slip pad 600 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 100 and near the outer edge to increase the friction between the box and the contact surface to prevent slipping. The anti-slip pad 600 has a frame-shaped structure. Handles 500 are rotatably connected to both the left and right sides of the storage box 100 to facilitate children or parents to carry the storage box.

[0022] Specifically, the inner wall of the lid 200 is provided with a rubber liner 210. The inner wall of the rubber liner 210 is tightly fitted to the outer side of the storage box 100 to enhance the sealing between the lid 200 and the storage box 100 and isolate air.

[0023] Furthermore, a frame-shaped rubber pad 350 is provided at the bottom edge of the cover 320. When the cover 320 is closed, the bottom of the frame-shaped rubber pad 350 fits tightly against the top of the rectangular channel 310, providing a seal to prevent the clay from contacting the air.

[0024] Furthermore, a first circular groove 332 is provided on the rear side and near the bottom of the fixing block 330. A second spring 360 is fixedly connected to the front end of the inner wall of the first circular groove 332. A hemispherical top block 370 is provided at the rear end of the second spring 360. The hemispherical structure allows the fixing block 330 to rotate smoothly downward when the cover 320 is closed, so that the positioning member 340 positions it. When the lid 320 is closed, the hemispherical top block 370 rests against the front side of the rectangular channel 310. When the positioning member 340 releases its positioning of the fixing block 330, the second spring 360 resets, causing the hemispherical top block 370 to move out of the first circular groove 332, thereby pushing the fixing block 330 outward, thus causing the hemispherical positioning groove 331 to be misaligned with the hemispherical positioning block 344, so that the child can open the lid 320 with one hand.

[0025] Furthermore, the positioning component 340 includes a rectangular horizontal block 341. A second circular groove 3411 is provided on the left side of the rectangular horizontal block 341. A pull rod 342 is movably connected in the second circular groove 3411. A circular slider 343 is provided at the left end of the pull rod 342. A hemispherical positioning block 344 is provided on the left side of the circular slider 343. A hemispherical positioning groove 331 that matches the hemispherical positioning block 344 is provided on the right side of the fixing block 330. When the cover 320 is closed, the hemispherical positioning block 344 is inserted into the hemispherical positioning groove 331, thereby fixing the position of the cover 320 after it is closed.

[0026] Furthermore, a first spring 346 is sleeved on the outer side of the pull rod 342. The left end of the first spring 346 abuts against the right side of the circular slider 343, and the right end of the first spring 346 abuts against the right end of the inner wall of the second circular groove 3411. The hemispherical positioning block 344 is automatically returned to its position through elastic reset. The right end of the pull rod 342 passes through the inner wall of the second circular groove 3411 and is connected to a pull plate 345, which makes it easy for children to unlock the cover 320 by pulling.

[0027] In this embodiment, the children's clay storage box with partitioned dispensing ports is used by first lifting the storage box 100 to the operating position by rotating the handles 500 on both sides. The anti-slip pad 600 at the bottom prevents the box from sliding. After the child selects the desired color of clay, they align it with the dispensing part 300 of the corresponding dispensing port 201 and gently pull the pull plate 345 outward with one hand. The pull plate 345 drives the pull rod 342 and the circular slider 343 to compress the first spring 346, causing the hemispherical positioning block 344 to disengage from the hemispherical positioning groove 331 of the fixing block 330. At the same time, the second spring 360 pushes the hemispherical top block 370 to fix the block. Block 330 is pushed outwards, and cover 320 automatically pops open due to the loss of locking by positioning element 340. Then, the child can open cover 320 and take out clay from storage compartment 101 through rectangular channel 310. After use, press down on cover 320 to close it. The hemispherical top block 370 of fixing block 330 is squeezed into the first circular groove 332 by the front side of rectangular channel 310. When cover 320 is closed, hemispherical positioning block 344 is re-locked into hemispherical positioning groove 331 under the reset action of first spring 346. Frame rubber pad 350 fits against the top of rectangular channel 310 to form a seal.
