Description
Title of the invention: STORAGE BOX STRUCTURE Scope of the invention
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of component storage devices and, in particular, to a box structure for storing objects. Prior art
[0002] With the improvement of living standards, the population's demand for storage solutions is increasing daily. The commonly known storage box design primarily consists of two matching upper and lower boxes. One side of each box is hinged, while the other side is secured by a buckle. There are usually multiple dividers inside the storage box for sorting and organizing various small items such as screws or nuts. However, due to the poor separation effect of the dividers, these small items often shift during transport due to jolting, resulting in a mix-up of parts and preventing users from quickly finding the parts they need when needed. Furthermore, the conventional storage box structure also has the following disadvantages:
[0003] 1. The space in the existing storage box is not fully utilized. The The design of the dividers in many storage boxes is too rigid and inflexible, failing to adapt to the storage needs of different types of items. They cannot be adjusted to accommodate different sizes, resulting in small items crammed into a large space. While these items can easily slide into the middle, larger items cannot be efficiently placed, leading to wasted space and increased usability issues.
[0004] 2. The openings of some existing storage boxes are too small, and the The depth is too great, making it difficult to remove items placed at the bottom. Users also experience inconvenience when accessing items. They have to turn over or move the entire box. This is not only a waste of time, but it can also damage the item.
[0005] 3. Many storage boxes lack effective classification and Their labeling is poorly designed, making it impossible to quickly and easily find specific items. As a result, users have to spend a lot of time searching, which is not only inefficient but also increases frustration due to the difficulty of finding an item.
[0006] Although various sophisticated and improved storage boxes exist on the market, their spatial organization and practical functions are still imperfect, and they cannot effectively classify and stabilize objects, causing the objects to deteriorate easily during collection and use. This not only hinders user convenience but also reduces the efficiency of storage and access. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the foregoing, the principal objective of the present invention is to provide a storage box structure, which mainly comprises: an outer box and a plurality of inner boxes, a lid hinged on an edge of the outer box for closing or opening, a space inside the outer box into which the plurality of inner boxes are received, and which is characterized by the fact that:

[0035] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT MODES
[0036] To facilitate understanding of the content of the present invention and the effects that can be achieved, specific embodiments are listed in conjunction with the drawings, and the detailed description is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 represent a storage box structure 100 according to the present invention. The structure of the storage box 100 mainly comprises: an outer box 10 and a plurality of inner boxes 20, a lid 15 hinged on an edge of the outer box 10 for closing or opening, and a space inside the outer box 10 into which the plurality of inner boxes 20 are received.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the inner bottom of the outer box 10 is configured with intersecting ridge lines 115 to form a plurality of recessed compartments 120, and each inner box 20 is configured with a corresponding beveled bottom 25 such that the inner box 20 can be placed in a fixed position and stored stably in the plurality of corresponding recessed compartments 120 of the outer box 10. It is convenient to classify and store different objects in the outer box 10 in order to avoid the mixing and dispersion of the objects.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the lid 15 is configured with the same intersecting ridge lines 115 to form the plurality of recessed compartments 120, such that after each inner box 20 is removed, each The inner box 20 can be placed in a fixed position within the corresponding recessed compartment 120 on the lid 15, ensuring stability. This effectively prevents it from tipping over when retrieving items.
[0039] Two small opposite sides of the outer box 10 are each configured with a pivot 13 for pivoting a U-shaped handle; the ends of two arms of the handle are each configured with a long pivot hole 31 such that the handle can be pushed in to be retracted from the front of the outer box 10, and pulled out and pivoted to be straightened to carry the handle; and
[0040] The bottom of the outer box 10 corresponds to the top of the lid 15, and at least one set of snap-fit mechanisms 40 is configured on one side of the outer box 10 and on one side of the lid 15, such that a plurality of storage boxes can be stacked and combined with each other.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 4, the outer box 10 and the lid 15 are rectangular, the snap-on mechanism 40 is further configured with a hook 41 on two short sides of the outer box 10 formed as downward recesses, the two corresponding short sides of the lid 15 are each configured with a loop portion 42. When the storage boxes 100 are stacked, the hooks 41 of the upper outer box 10 and the loop portions 42 of the lower lid 15 can engage with each other.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 5, a projecting piece 153 is further configured on each central side of the two short sides of the cover 15, so that the handle can be straightened through the long pivot hole 31 corresponding to its two ends until it reaches a stop position. When the handle 30 is turned upwards, it can be positioned just vertically to facilitate carrying.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in Figures 2 and 6, each central section located on the two arms of the handle is further configured with a rotating support 35; when the handle is opened, the rotating support 35 is pushed out of its stop against the bottom of the outer box 10, such that the outer box 10 is brought to an inclined angle. In addition to being used for presentation, this can also be used to facilitate access to objects. For example, the outer box 10 can be brought to an angle of 30 degrees, but this is not limited in practice.

When the product is sold in a retail section, the lid 15, the outer box 10 and the handle 30 can be attached and locked to prevent them from being easily opened in order to prevent theft.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in [Fig. 9A], the inner box 20 is rectangular or square and further has a one-way opening edge portion 21, and a longitudinal groove 22 is configured on each of the four outer walls of the inner box 20. The inner box 20 is further configured with a small lid 250 accordingly. The inner edge of the lid body is configured with a locking edge 251 to match the opening edge portion 21 of the inner box 20. The small lid 250 is configured with a hanging hole 255 for hanging on the display stand, so that consumers can remove it and place it in the outer box 10 after purchase. When the small inner box 20 is removed, the small lid 250 can also be closed again, so that it can be easily closed and carried independently.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in Figures 9A to 9C, the inner box 20 has different sizes and can be configured as a single unit, two joined units or four joined units. The inner box can hold certain small items, but not limited to small hardware screws. Many small items can be placed inside, such as small craft beads that girls like to play with, necklaces, earrings, or fishing hooks, etc. But in reality, the present invention is not limited to this.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in [Fig. 9D], a portion of the one-way opening edge 21 of the inner box 20 is further configured with a Parafilm 26, or the Parafilm 26 can be used to replace the small lid 250, so that future sales of the product can be more diversified. The product can be sold directly on the shelf with simple packaging. After purchase, it can be torn off and placed in the outer box 10.
[0050] In a preferred embodiment as illustrated in [Fig. 9D], the inner box 20 is further configured with a magnetic plate 27 for self-attachment. The inner box 20 has a magnetic function to prevent it from being dispersed, in order to meet the various practical needs of customers, and is used to hold small fishing hooks or precision objects that are easily dropped.
