Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage boxes with electronic locks face electrical faults, while mechanical locks are inconvenient to carry and easily lost, failing to meet contemporary demands for easy locking and unlocking.
Innovation Solution
A storage box with a door lock structure featuring a rotatable cover and a locking mechanism that slides or rotates between unlocking and locking positions, integrated through injection molding, with a sliding rail and support protrusions for smooth operation and enhanced security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If electronic locks are used in storage boxes, then locking security is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to electrical faults
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical locks with an electronic lock system that uses a control circuit board, button inputs, and electronic locking mechanisms. This substitution enables improved reliability through electronic control while maintaining ease of operation via simple button presses or password entry, eliminating the need for physical keys.
2Ease of operation
If mechanical locks with keys are used, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to key loss
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates mechanical keys by implementing an electronic locking system with control circuitry, buttons, and electronic actuators. Users operate the lock through button presses or password entry on an electronic interface, ensuring consistent access reliability without the risk of key loss or mechanical wear.
3Device complexity
If the locking mechanism is integrated through injection molding, then device complexity is reduced, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the locking mechanism components through injection molding, combining multiple parts into a single molded structure. This merging reduces device complexity by eliminating separate components and assembly steps, while the injection molding process inherently provides the necessary manufacturing precision for the integrated structure.

AI summary
Disclosed is a storage box with a door lock, including a cover and a main body, where the cover is rotatably connected with the main body, and the main body supports the cover. The cover has an open state and a closed state. The storage box further includes a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism is mounted on the cover, the locking mechanism is provided with an unlocking position and a locking position, and the locking mechanism slides or rotates between the unlocking position and the locking position. When the cover is in the closed state and the locking mechanism is at the locking position, the cover and the main body are fixed to each other. When the locking mechanism is at the unlocking position, the cover is switched between the open state and the closed state. The storage box of the present disclosure is easily locked and unlocked.
