Furthermore, this utility model relates to a storage box with the storage module described above. In addition, this utility model also relates to a storage container for a storage box. STATE OF THE ART
[0002] Storage boxes are widely used as a necessary organizational aid in everyday life in various situations such as households, storage rooms, vehicle trunks, offices, etc., for storing various items such as clothing, tools, miscellaneous items, food, etc.
[0003] Conventional storage boxes, however, typically feature a monolithic construction with a fixed volume and shape. While this design is structurally simple and cost-effective, it increasingly reveals numerous limitations in practical application. First, poor adaptability to different spaces is a significant issue. Because boxes with fixed dimensions are difficult to efficiently adapt to storage spaces of varying sizes and shapes, this easily leads to wasted space or insufficient utilization of available area. Second, there is a lack of flexibility for expansion and reconfiguration. If organizational needs change (e.g., due to an increase or decrease in items or a change in the room layout), the user is often forced to purchase boxes with entirely new dimensions, rather than flexibly expanding or reconfiguring existing ones. This increases both the cost and the complexity of use.
