[0059] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the specification of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items.

[0060] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the present application provides a storage box. Storage box 100 includes a box assembly 10, wherein box assembly 10 includes a first sidewall 11, a second sidewall 12, and a bottom wall 13. There are two first sidewalls 11, each connected to one side of the second sidewall 12, and the two first sidewalls 11 are disposed opposite each other. The second sidewall 12 and the two first sidewalls 11 are each fixedly connected to the bottom wall 13. The bottom wall 13, the second sidewall 12, and the two first sidewalls 11 collectively enclose a first accommodating space 16.

[0061] In this way, the first accommodating space 16 is used to accommodate items, and an opening connected to the first accommodating space 16 is formed between the two first side walls 11 and the second side wall 12, and an opening connected to the first accommodating space 16 is also formed between the two first side walls 11 and the bottom wall 13. Users can take and place items from two different directions of the storage box 100 through these two openings, so that the storage box 100 can be applied to more usage scenarios.

[0062] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG2 , the second side wall 12 and the two first side walls 11 are integrally formed. This eliminates the need for welding points between the second side wall 12 and the two first side walls 11, and only requires welding the bottom wall 13 to the integral structure. This reduces the number of assembly steps required to assemble the storage box 100, improving the efficiency of assembling the storage box 100. Furthermore, the integral structure also improves the smoothness of the side wall surfaces of the storage box 100, thereby protecting items within the storage box 100.

[0063] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG3 , the second side wall 12 and the bottom wall 13 may be an integral structure. This not only reduces the number of assembly steps required to assemble the storage box 100, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the storage box 100 , but also allows the adjacent angled edges of the integral structure to provide good positioning, thereby facilitating welding of the two first side walls 11 to the integral structure.

[0064] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the box assembly 10 further includes an upper cover 15, which is rotatably connected to a side of the second side wall 12 relatively away from the bottom wall 13. The storage box 100 further includes a drawer 20, which is slidably mounted in the first accommodating space 16 in a direction close to or away from the second side wall 12.

[0065] Thus, the storage box 100 can be opened in two directions. One is that the drawer 20 slides away from the second side wall 12, thereby facilitating the user to take items out of the drawer 20. The other is that the upper cover 15 is flipped outward relative to the first accommodating space 16 to open the storage box 100.

[0066] The upper cover 15 is rotatably connected to a side of the second side wall 12 relatively away from the bottom wall 13 via a hinge 18 .

[0067] 2 to 4 , the storage box 100 further includes a rail assembly 30 and a mounting bracket 40. The mounting bracket 40 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 11, and the drawer 20 slidably engages with the mounting bracket 40 via the rail assembly 30. In this arrangement, the drawer 20 can be slidably connected to the first side wall 11 via the rail assembly 30 and the mounting bracket 40.

[0068] Furthermore, the slide rail assembly 30 includes a fixed member 31 and a sliding member 32. The fixed member 31 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 40, and the sliding member 32 is fixedly mounted on the drawer 20. The sliding member 32 slidably engages with the fixed member 31. In this manner, the drawer 20 slides relative to the fixed member 31 following the sliding member 32, thereby achieving a sliding connection between the drawer 20 and the mounting bracket 40. The sliding member 32 and the fixed member 31 can be fixedly connected to the drawer 20 and the mounting bracket 40, respectively, via screws 33.

[0069] For example, the fixing member 31 is provided with a slide groove 311, and the sliding member 32 is provided with a flange 321, which slides and engages in the slide groove 311. This simplifies the connection between the sliding member 32 and the fixing member 31, thereby simplifying the slide rail assembly 30. The fixing member 31 and the sliding member 32 are both configured as an integrally formed bent member.

[0070] The number of drawers 20 can be set to multiple, and the multiple drawers 20 are arranged along the height direction Z of the storage box 100. In this way, the first accommodating space 16 is divided into multiple independent small spaces, so that the user can easily classify and organize the stored items to improve the storage effect.

[0071] As shown in FIG3 , a stopper 111 is provided on one side of the first side wall 11 away from the second side wall 12. The stopper 111 is used to prevent the mounting bracket 40 from escaping from the first accommodating space 16 in a direction away from the second side wall 12. This improves the secure assembly between the mounting bracket 40 and the first side wall 11.

[0072] Furthermore, the stopper 111 includes a first folded edge 111a and a second folded edge 111b disposed at an angle. The first folded edge 111a is connected to the first side wall 11, and the second folded edge 111b is disposed opposite the first side wall 11. The mounting bracket 40 includes a mounting portion 41 and an abutting portion 42 disposed at an angle. The mounting portion 41 is used to mount the slide rail assembly 30. The abutting portion 42 abuts against the first folded edge 111a to prevent the mounting bracket 40 from detaching from the first side wall 11 in a direction away from the second side wall 12. The mounting portion 41 abuts against the second folded edge 111b to prevent the mounting bracket 40 from detaching from the first side wall 11 in a direction toward the center of the first accommodating space 16.

[0073] In this way, the mounting bracket 40 can be securely connected to the first side wall 11 without welding. When assembling the storage box 100, the drawer 20 can be pre-installed on the mounting bracket 40. Then, along the height direction Z of the storage box 100, the drawer 20 and the mounting bracket 40 can be installed together into the first accommodating space 16 from the side away from the bottom wall 13.

[0074] The first sidewall 11, the first folded edge 111a, and the second folded edge 111b are integrally formed. There are two abutting portions 42, each connected to opposite ends of the mounting portion 41. Furthermore, the two abutting portions 42 and the mounting portion 41 are integrally formed. The two abutting portions 42 can both extend toward the same side of the mounting portion 41, or they can extend toward opposite sides of the mounting portion 41.

[0075] Furthermore, the mounting portion 41 is recessed near the abutting portion 42 toward the first side wall 11, forming a stepped structure 411. The second folded edge 111b abuts against the stepped structure 411. This not only improves the fit between the second folded edge 111b and the mounting portion 41, but also the stepped structure 411 serves as a stop for the end of the second folded edge 111b, further preventing the mounting bracket 40 from detaching from the first side wall 11 in a direction away from the second side wall 12.

[0076] Referring to Figures 5 to 11 , the storage box 100 further includes a locking member 50, which includes a first section 51 and a second section 52 connected to each other. The first section 51 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 15, and the second section 52 extends into the first accommodating space 16. As the upper cover 15 rotates relative to the second side wall 12, the second section 52 can be moved to be inserted into the drawer 20 and prevent the drawer 20 from moving away from the second side wall 12. Alternatively, the second section 52 can be moved out of the drawer 20 to allow the drawer 20 to move away from the second side wall 12.

[0077] By providing the locking member 50, the drawer 20 is locked to the second side wall 12 during transportation of the storage box 100, preventing it from accidentally sliding out, thereby improving the safety of the storage box 100 during transportation. Furthermore, by rotating the upper cover 15, the user not only opens or closes the first accommodating space 16, but also drives the locking member 50 through the upper cover 15 to lock or unlock the drawer 20. Specifically, when the upper cover 15 is rotated toward the bottom wall 13 to close the storage box 100, the second section 52 moves to insert into the drawer 20. When the upper cover 15 is flipped outward to open the storage box 100, the second section 52 can move out of the drawer 20.

[0078] The locking member 50 further includes a spring section 53, and the first section 51 is rotatably connected to the second section 52 via the spring section 53. The storage box 100 further includes a guide rail 60, which is fixedly mounted on the second side wall 12, and the second section 52 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 60.

[0079] By providing the spring section 53, the rotation of the first section 51 following the upper cover 15 can be converted into the sliding of the second section 52. In addition, the guide rail 60 guides the second section 52, so that the second section can slide more smoothly to insert or remove the drawer 20.

[0080] The end of the second section 52 away from the spring section 53 is configured as a hook shape bent toward a direction away from the second side wall 12. In this way, it is convenient for the end of the second section 52 away from the spring section 53 to be inserted into the drawer 20.

[0081] Referring to Figures 12 and 13 , the storage box 100 further includes a first magnet 81 and a second magnet 82. The first magnet 81 is fixedly connected to the second side wall 12, and the second magnet 82 is fixedly connected to a side of the drawer 20 that is relatively close to the second side wall 12. The first magnet 81 and the second magnet 82 are configured to attract each other, thereby adsorbing the drawer 20 to the second side wall 12. This facilitates more securely locking the drawer 20 to the second side wall 12, preventing the drawer 20 from accidentally sliding out.

[0082] The first magnet 81 and the second magnet 82 are both magnets. Alternatively, one of the first magnet 81 and the second magnet 82 is a magnet and the other is an iron member.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 2 and 17. The storage box 100 also includes a top wall 14, and the top wall 14 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 respectively. In addition, along the height direction Z of the storage box 100, the top wall 14 is relatively located above the drawer 20, and is used to enclose a second accommodating space 17 between the top of the drawer 20 and the upper cover 15 to form a second accommodating space 17.

[0084] It should be noted that “above the drawer 20” here refers to the side of the drawer 20 away from the bottom wall 13. By providing the second accommodating space 17, the storage space of the storage box 100 is increased, thereby facilitating further improving the storage capacity of the storage box 100.

[0085] 5, 6, and 14 to 18, the storage box 100 further includes a safety lock 70, which is mounted at the junction of the upper cover 15 and the top wall 14 and is used to lock the upper cover 15 to the top wall 14. When the safety lock 70 is locked, the upper cover 15 cannot be flipped open outward, and the drawer 20 cannot slide away from the second side wall 12.

[0086] Two configurations of the safety lock 70 are described below.

[0087] Implementation method one:

[0088] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the safety lock 70 includes a lock hook 71 and a lock buckle 72. The lock hook 71 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the upper cover 15 and the top wall 14, and the lock buckle 72 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the other of the upper cover 15 and the top wall 14. The lock buckle 72 has a lock hole 721; the lock buckle 72 can be rotated to pass through the lock hole 721 and be sleeved on the outer periphery of the lock hook 71, and cooperate with the lock hook 71 to limit the position.

[0089] The user only needs to close the upper cover 15 and then rotate the lock buckle 72 so that the lock buckle is inserted into the outer periphery of the lock hook 71 through the lock hole 721 to complete the locking of the upper cover 15. The operation is simple.

[0090] Implementation method 2:

[0091] As shown in Figures 14 to 18, the safety lock 70 is located in the second accommodating space 17. The safety lock 70 includes a hook 71 and a latch 72. The latch 72 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 15 and has a locking hole 721. A through hole 141 is formed in the top wall 14. The hook 71 is slidably connected to the top wall 14, and at least a portion of the hook 71 is exposed through the through hole 141. The hook 71 can slide into the locking hole 721 and engage with the locking hole 721. In this way, the safety lock 70 is located in the second accommodating space 17, making the exterior of the storage box 100 more concise and beautiful. The user uses the through hole 141 to slide the hook 71 relative to the top wall 14.

[0092] Specifically, as shown in Figure 17, the lock hook 71 includes a hook body 711, a housing 712, and an elastic return member 713. The housing 712 is fixedly connected to the top wall 14, and the lock hook 71 and the elastic return member 713 are respectively located in the housing 712. The elastic return member 713 is located on the side of the lock hook 71 facing away from the lock buckle 72. One end of the elastic return member 713 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 712, and the other end abuts the lock hook 71. When the user slides the lock hook 71, causing the lock hook 71 to move away from the lock buckle 72 and disengage from the lock buckle 72, the lock hook 71 compresses the elastic return member 713. When the force applied by the user to the lock hook 71 disappears, the elastic return member 713 pushes the lock hook 71 back to its original position.

[0093] The storage box 100 further includes a handle 90, which is connected to the upper cover 15. The user can move the storage box 100 by holding the handle 90.

[0094] As shown in Figure 16, the upper cover 15 is formed with a recess 151, into which the handle 90 is received, with both ends of the handle 90 slidingly connected to the bottom wall of the recess 151. When an external force is applied to the handle 90, the two ends of the handle 90 can move closer together, thereby forming an operating space (not shown) between the middle of the handle 90 and the upper cover 15.

[0095] Thus, the handle 90 can be hidden in the groove 151 when not in use, making the storage box 100 look more simple and beautiful. When the storage box 100 is needed, the handle 90 can be pulled away from the upper cover 15 to create an operating space, making it easier for the user to hold the handle 90. The handle 90 is made of a soft material that is easily deformable, such as plastic.

[0096] In one embodiment, two spaced-apart limiting posts 152 are disposed within the recess 151. Each end of the handle 90 defines an elongated hole 91, extending along the length of the handle 90. Each limiting post 152 is inserted through one of the elongated holes 91. The end of the limiting post 152 distal from the upper cover 15 abuts against the edge of the elongated hole 91. Furthermore, each limiting post 152 is capable of flexibly engaging with the elongated hole 91 along the extension direction of the handle 90. Thus, by flexibly engaging with the elongated hole 91 along the extension direction of the handle 90, the two ends of the handle 90 can be brought closer together. The upper cover 15 also includes a limiting block 153, which defines a latching hole 154 for crimping onto the handle 90 and latching onto the limiting post 152 through the latching hole 154.

[0097] Alternatively, two limiting posts 152 may be respectively provided at both ends of the handle 90 , and two spaced-apart elongated holes 91 may be provided on the bottom wall of the groove 151 .

[0098] Of course, in other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 , both ends of the handle 90 may also be directly fixed to the upper cover 15 .

[0099] Please refer to FIG. 5 . Optionally, in one embodiment, the length X of the storage box 100 is in the range of 200-600 mm, the width Y of the storage box 100 is in the range of 100-400 mm, and the height Z of the storage box 100 is in the range of 100-600 mm.

[0100] Referring to Figures 19 to 21 , in another embodiment of the present application, the majority of the structure of a storage box 100 is identical to the aforementioned embodiment. In this embodiment, the top wall 14 of the storage box 100 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12. Furthermore, along the height direction Z of the storage box 100, the top wall 14 is relatively located above all drawers 20. Furthermore, the top wall 14 includes a shelf 142 parallel to the bottom wall 13. Along the height direction of the storage box 100, the shelf 142 is located at a height lower than the top edge of the first and second side walls 11, 12, and relatively away from the bottom wall 13, so that the top wall 14, together with the first and second side walls 11, 12, forms a third accommodating space 104 above the drawers 20. In other words, the top wall 14 is sunken relative to the first and second side walls 11, 12, thereby forming a space of a certain depth, making it safer to store items.

[0101] In this embodiment, the storage box 100 may not be provided with an upper cover 15, that is, the third accommodating space 104 has an opening opposite to the bottom wall 13, so that the user can directly place items on the shelf 142. Moreover, since the height of the shelf 142 is lower than that of the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 and relatively far away from the top edge of the bottom wall 13, the items are not easy to fall out of the third accommodating space 104, and it is more convenient to take them.

[0102] Referring to Figures 19 to 21 , further, to facilitate connection between the top wall 14 and the first and second side walls 11 and 12, in this embodiment, the top wall 14 further includes side panels 143 extending from the edges of the shelf 142. The side panels 143 are configured to be welded to the first and second side walls 11 and 12. Welding is a simple, low-cost method that provides a secure connection. Optionally, in this embodiment, the side panels 143 are perpendicular to the shelf 142.

[0103] 20 and 21 , specifically, in this embodiment, side panels 143 are provided along the edges of the shelf 142 near the second side wall 12 and the two first side walls 11 to further ensure the secure connection between the top wall 14 and the first and second side walls 11, 12, thereby ensuring the stability of items placed on the shelf 142. It will be appreciated that the width of the connection between the side panels 143 and the shelf 142 is not limited herein and may extend along only a portion of the edge of each side of the shelf 142 or along the entire edge of each side of the shelf 142.

[0104] Furthermore, the side panels 143 extend away from the bottom wall 13, which facilitates welding. Furthermore, the side panels 143 do not protrude beyond the third accommodating space 104. This arrangement reduces material consumption while ensuring aesthetics and safety.

[0105] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the side panels 143 may also extend toward the bottom wall 13 as long as the connection between the top wall 14 and the first and second side walls 11 and 12 is not affected.

[0106] To facilitate welding of the side panels 143 to the first and second side walls 11, 12, the side panels 143 are parallel to the first and second side walls 11, 12. In other words, the side panels 143 extend perpendicular to the bottom wall 13. It is understood that in other embodiments, the side panels 143 may be slightly tilted, as long as this does not affect welding of the side panels 143 to the first and second side walls 11, 12.

[0107] Furthermore, the top wall 14 also includes a baffle 144, which includes a first plate body 1441 and a second plate body 1442 that are bent and connected. The first plate body 1441 extends toward the bottom wall 13 along the edge of the shelf 142 relatively away from the second side wall 12, and the second plate body 1442 extends toward the second side wall 12 along the edge of the first plate body 1441 relatively away from the shelf 142.

[0108] With such a configuration, the first plate 1441 can prevent the edge of the shelf 142 from scratching the user due to its deviation from the second side wall 12, and the second plate 1442 can cooperate with the first plate 1441 to ensure a certain gap 105 between the drawer 20 and the shelf 142, so that the top drawer 20 is not prone to collision or friction with the shelf 142 after placing items, and the second plate 1442 can also prevent the edge of the first plate 1441 from scratching the user.

[0109] It should be noted that the “bending connection” means that the edges of the first plate 1441 and the second plate 1442 are connected, and there is a preset angle between the two plate surfaces. The preset angle is less than or equal to 90 degrees.

[0110] 19 to 21 , further, in this embodiment, the first plate 1441 extends along an edge of the shelf 142 relatively away from the second side wall 12 toward the bottom wall 13 and is perpendicular to the bottom wall 13, and the second plate 1442 extends along an edge of the first plate 1441 relatively away from the shelf 142 toward the second side wall 12 and is perpendicular to the second side wall 12. In other words, the angle between the first plate 1441 and the shelf 142 is 90 degrees, and the angle between the second plate 1442 and the first plate 1441 is also 90 degrees.

[0111] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the angle between the first plate 1441 and the shelf 142 may also be less than 90 degrees, and the angle between the second plate 1442 and the first plate 1441 may also be less than 90 degrees.

[0112] It should be further explained that the extension length of the first plate 1441 toward the bottom wall 13 and the extension length of the second plate 1442 toward the second side wall 12 should not be too long and can be set according to specific circumstances as long as the extension length does not affect the normal use of the storage box 100.

[0113] 20 and 21 , optionally, the extension length of the second plate 1442 toward the second side wall 12 is less than or equal to the extension length of the first plate 1441 toward the bottom wall 13 , so as to ensure that both components function normally while using less material.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 21 again. In this embodiment, the surface of the second plate 1442 relatively close to the bottom wall 13 can be abutted against the top of the mounting bracket 40. The mounting bracket 40 can play a certain supporting role to further ensure the stability of the shelf 142.

[0115] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0116] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection for the present application shall be determined by the appended claims.
