Detailed Description

In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous implementation details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It should be understood, however, that these implementation details are not to be interpreted as limiting the invention. That is, in some embodiments of the invention, such implementation details are not necessary. In addition, some conventional structures and components are shown in simplified schematic form in the drawings.

Please refer to fig. 1, fig. 2A and fig. 2B. Fig. 1, 2A and 2B are perspective views illustrating a storage box 100A according to an embodiment of the present invention. In order to clearly show the structure of each actuating element, fig. 2A and 2B omit the housing 110 in fig. 1. The storage box 100A includes a box body 120, a rotary member 140, a shutter 160, and a moving assembly 180. The case 120 has an opening 120 a. The rotating member 140 is rotatably coupled to the case 120. The shutter 160 is connected to the rotary 140. The moving assembly 180 is coupled to the case 120 outside the case 120 and is coupled to the rotating member 140. The moving assembly 180 is configured to rotate the rotary member 140 to cause the shutter 160 to block the opening 120a when moving toward the box body 120, and is configured to rotate the rotary member 140 to cause the shutter 160 to open the opening 120a when moving away from the box body 120. The rotating member 140 may have a housing 110 (see fig. 1) outside. The rotating member 140 is rotatably disposed in the housing 110 to be protected by the housing 110. The housing 110 has an opening 110a at one end, wherein the door 160 can penetrate into the opening 110a to engage with the rotating member 140. In other embodiments, the rotating member 140 extends through the opening 110a to engage the door 160.

The "stop opening" herein may be interpreted as "the shutter 160 moves from the outside toward the opening 120a to stop at the position opposite to the opening 120a, so as to achieve the effect of blocking the object from entering or exiting the box body 120 through the opening". The term "open opening" is used herein to mean "the door 160 moves from the opening 120a to a direction away from the box 120 without facing the opening 120a, so as to allow the object to enter or exit the box 120 through the opening 120 a".

Referring to fig. 2A and 2B, as shown in fig. 2A and 2B, in one embodiment, the box body 120 of the storage box 100A includes a plurality of connected plates (four plates in fig. 2A and 2B) that together form an opening 120A, and one of the plates is a first plate 122. The rotating member 140 is rotatably coupled to the first plate 122. The moving assembly 180 has a first connecting member 182 coupled to the first plate 122. The first plate 122 may be mounted with a bearing 150(bearing) such that the rotating member 140 can rotate with respect to the bearing 150 (i.e., the rotating member 140 is rotatably coupled to the first plate 122 via the bearing 150).

As shown in fig. 2A and fig. 2B, in the storage box 100A of the present embodiment, the moving component 180 has a first connecting member 182 and is combined into an embodiment by a spiral inclined surface, wherein the first connecting member 182 has a pushing portion 182B and a body portion 182C, the pushing portion 182B is provided with a second spiral inclined surface 182A, and the body portion 182C is used for contacting the outside (e.g., a table or a human body). The first connecting member 182 is configured to move relative to the housing 120 along an axis A parallel to the first plate 122 to rotate the rotating member 140. Wherein the rotating member 140 rotates around the aforementioned axial direction a, and the rotating member 140 has a first spiral slope 140A. The first spiral inclined surface 140A abuts against the second spiral inclined surface 182A and is inclined with respect to the axial direction a. The rotating member 140 is fixedly connected to one side of the shutter 160, and the shutter 160 is rotatably coupled to the first plate 122 adjacent to the opening 120a by the rotating member 140.

As shown in fig. 2A and 2B, the storage box 100A of the present embodiment further includes a stop 183 disposed on a path of the first connecting member 182 moving away from the rotating member 140 to prevent the first connecting member 182 from falling off.

In this embodiment, the storage box 100A may further include an elastic member 140B (e.g., a torsion spring) disposed on the rotating member 140, so as to apply a force to the rotating member 140 to make the door 160 continuously stop the opening 120A. One end of the elastic member 140B can be connected to the rotating member 140, and the other end of the elastic member 140B can be connected to a fixed object (e.g., a wall surface of the first plate 122), but the connection relationship of the elastic member 140B is not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 2A, when the user places the storage box 100A on the table, the body portion 182C of the first link 182 is moved toward the rotating member 140 by the reaction force of the table. The second spiral inclined surface 182A of the pushing portion 182B of the first connecting member 182 moves toward the first spiral inclined surface 140A of the rotating member 140, and drives the door 160 to open the opening 120A. At this time, the elastic member 140B stores elastic potential energy.

As shown in fig. 2B, when the user lifts the storage box 100A, the first link 182 moves away from the rotating member 140 under the influence of gravity, and the stopper 183 stops the first link 182 on the path of the first link 182 away from the rotating member 140 to prevent the first link 182 from falling off. The elastic member 140B releases the elastic potential energy at the same time, so that the rotating member 140 continuously abuts against the second spiral inclined surface 182A moving downwards and rotates around the axial direction a, thereby driving the door 160 to stop the opening 120 a.

In the present embodiment, the rotating member 140 may have a housing outside (see the housing 110 in fig. 1, the housing is omitted in fig. 2A and 2B for clarity of illustration of the internal structure). The rotating member 140 is rotatably disposed within the housing 110 to be protected by the housing 110. Wherein the shutter 160 can penetrate into the opening 110a to engage with the rotating member 140. In other embodiments, the rotating member 140 extends through the opening 110a to engage the door 160.

Referring to fig. 2C and 2D, in the storage box 100 of the present embodiment, the box body 120 includes a first plate 122 and a second plate 124 connected to each other, which together form a portion of the opening 120 a. The rotating member 140 is rotatably coupled to the first plate 122, and the moving member 180 is coupled to the second plate 124. The first plate 122 may be mounted with a bearing 150 such that the rotating member 140 can rotate with respect to the bearing 150 (i.e., the rotating member 140 is rotatably coupled to the first plate 122 via the bearing 150).

Referring to fig. 2C and fig. 2D, in order to clearly show the structure of each actuating element, the casing 110 in fig. 1 is omitted from fig. 2C and fig. 2D. As shown in fig. 2C and 2D, the moving assembly 180 has a first connecting member 182 and a second connecting member 184. The second connecting member 184 is rotatably coupled to the housing 120 at one end thereof outside the second plate 124 and configured to move toward and away from the housing 120, and the first connecting member 182 is coupled to the other end of the second connecting member 184 and configured to move relative to the housing 120 along an axial direction a perpendicular to the second plate 124 to rotate the rotating member 140.

As shown in fig. 2C and fig. 2D, in the storage box 100 of the present embodiment, the moving component 180 is combined into an embodiment by a spiral inclined surface, wherein the first connecting component 182 has a main body 182C and a pushing portion 182B, the pushing portion 182B is provided with a second spiral inclined surface 182A, and the main body 182C is used for contacting the outside (e.g., a table top or a human body). The rotating member 140 rotates around the axial direction a, and the rotating member 140 has a first spiral slope 140A. The first spiral inclined surface 140A abuts against the second spiral inclined surface 182A and is inclined with respect to the axial direction a. The rotating member 140 is fixedly connected to one side of the shutter 160, and the shutter 160 is rotatably coupled to the first plate 122 adjacent to the opening 120a by the rotating member 140.

In this embodiment, the storage box 100 may further include an elastic member 140B (e.g., a torsion spring) disposed on the rotating member 140, so as to apply a force to the rotating member 140 to make the door 160 continuously stop the opening 120A, and make the first spiral inclined surface 140A continuously abut against the second spiral inclined surface 182A downward. One end of the elastic member 140B can be connected to the rotating member 140, and the other end of the elastic member 140B can be connected to a fixed object (e.g., a wall surface of the first plate 122), but the connection relationship of the elastic member 140B is not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 2C, when the user places the storage box 100 on the table, the second link 184 is moved toward the second plate 124 of the box body 120 by the reaction force of the table, and simultaneously applies a force to the first link 182 to move the first link 182 toward the rotating member 140 along the axial direction a. The second spiral inclined surface 182A of the first connecting member 182 continuously abuts against and moves toward the first spiral inclined surface 140A of the rotating member 140, so as to drive the door 160 to open the opening 120A. At this time, the elastic member 140B stores elastic potential energy.

As shown in fig. 2D, when the user lifts the storage box 100, the second connecting member 184 moves away from the second plate 124 of the box body 120 under the influence of gravity, and simultaneously applies force to the first connecting member 182 to move the first connecting member 182 away from the rotating member 140 along the axial direction a. The elastic member 140B releases the elastic potential energy at the same time, so that the rotating member 140 continuously abuts against the second spiral inclined surface 182A moving downwards and rotates around the axial direction a, thereby driving the door 160 to stop the opening 120 a.

In this embodiment, the storage box 100 may further include an elastic member pressed between the second connecting member 184 and the box body 120, so as to apply a force to the second connecting member 184, so that the second connecting member 184 continuously moves away from the second plate 124 of the box body 120, and further the door 160 is driven to stop the opening 120 a.

Referring to fig. 2E and 2F, in some embodiments, the box 120 is formed by adding a lever mechanism 190 to the storage box 100 shown in fig. 2C. The lever mechanism 190 is rotatably coupled to the housing 120 outside the second plate 124 and rotatably connects an end of the second link 184' remote from the first link 182. The lever mechanism 190 is configured to move toward or away from the housing 120 and draw the second link 184'.

Specifically, the lever mechanism 190 of the case 120 is divided into a first stage 190a, a second stage 190b, and a fulcrum portion 190 c. The lever mechanism 190 is coupled to the second plate 124 at a fulcrum 190c between the first segment 190a and the second segment 190 b. The second link 184' in this embodiment is similar to the lever structure of the lever mechanism 190. The second connecting member 184' replaces the second connecting member 184 in fig. 2C, wherein the second connecting member 184' has a fulcrum, the second connecting member 184' is divided into two segments by the fulcrum and is rotatably coupled to the second plate 124 by the fulcrum, one segment of the second connecting member 184' is coupled to the first connecting member 182, and the other segment of the second connecting member 184' is rotatably coupled to the second segment 190b of the lever mechanism 190.

Referring to fig. 2E and fig. 2F, in the present embodiment, since the length of the first segment 190a is designed to be longer than that of the second segment 190b, the first segment 190a tends to be away from the second plate 124 under the influence of its own gravity, and further drives a segment of the second connecting member 184' connected to the first connecting member 182 to move in a direction away from the box 120, so that the door 160 blocks the opening 120 a. The second connecting member 184 'can also be configured to have a longer section coupled to the first connecting member 182 than another section, so that the position where the second connecting member 184' is connected to the first connecting member 182 tends to move away from the box 120, and the door 160 can stop the opening 120 a. In addition, the box 120 can be adapted to different types of placement planes by adjusting the length and position of the first section 190a and the second section 190b of the lever mechanism 190 and the length and position of the two sections of the second connecting member 184', and the unsmooth feeling when the door is opened automatically can be reduced. For example, the placement plane may have a specific structure (e.g., bump) thereon. This particular structure is used to actuate the moving element 180' when the box 120 is placed on the placing plane. By adjusting the position of the lever mechanism 190, the specific structure can generate the maximum torque to the second connecting member 184 'of the moving assembly 180' via the lever mechanism 190, so that the opening and closing of the door 160 can be smoother without being stuck.

In this embodiment, the storage box 100 'may further include another rotating member, another door and another moving element, which are disposed at symmetrical positions of the original rotating member 140, door 160 and moving element 180' relative to the box body 120, and the combination and actuation relationship between the two rotating members, door 160 and moving element 180 'are the same as those of the original box body 120, rotating member 140, door 160 and moving element 180', which will not be described herein again, so that the box body 120 has two doors 160 capable of automatically stopping the opening 120a when the storage box 100 'is lifted up, and the opening 120a is opened when the storage box 100' is placed on a desktop.

Please refer to fig. 3A and fig. 3B. As shown in fig. 3A and 3B, in the storage box 200 of the present embodiment, the moving component 280 is implemented by a gear combination. The moving assembly 280 has a first connector 282 and a second connector 284. The housing 120 includes a first plate 122 and a second plate 124 connected to form a portion of the opening 120 a. The rotating member 240 is rotatably coupled to the first plate 122, and the moving member 280 is coupled to the second plate 124. The first plate 122 may be mounted with a bearing 150 such that the rotating member 240 can rotate with respect to the bearing 150 (i.e., the rotating member 140 is rotatably coupled to the first plate 122 via the bearing 150). In other words, the first connecting member 282 moves along the axial direction B horizontal to the second plate 124. The rotating member 240 rotates about an axis a perpendicular to the second plate 124 by the bearing 150. The first rotating member 240 has a gear portion 240A. The first link 282 has a rack portion 282A, and the rack portion 282A meshes with the gear portion 240A.

As shown in fig. 3A and 3B, the moving assembly 280 further includes a third connecting member 286, wherein one end of the first connecting member 282 is rotatably coupled to the outside of the housing 120 and the second plate 124, and is configured to move toward and away from the housing 120. The third connecting member 286 is connected to the second connecting member 284 and the first connecting member 282 in a rotatable manner. The outer surface of the second plate 124 may be provided with a chute assembly (not shown) to which the first connector 282 is slidably connected. The axial direction B is the track direction of the sliding slot assembly, so that the first connecting member 282 moves along the sliding slot track (i.e. the axial direction B) during operation.

As shown in fig. 3A, when the user places the storage box 200 on the table, the second link 284 is moved toward the second plate 124 of the box 120 by the reaction force of the table, and simultaneously applies a force to the third link 286, so that the third link 286 drives the first link 282 to move along the chute track (i.e. the axial direction B) toward the rotating member 240. Since the rack portion 282A of the first connecting member 282 is engaged with the gear portion 240A of the rotating member 240, the first connecting member 282 simultaneously rotates the rotating member 240 about the axial direction a perpendicular to the second plate 124, and the rotating member 240 simultaneously drives the shutter 160 to open the opening 120A.

As shown in fig. 3B, when the user lifts the storage box 200, the second link 284 moves away from the second plate 124 of the box 120 due to its own weight, and simultaneously applies a force to the third link 286, so that the third link 286 drives the first link 282 to move along the sliding track (i.e. the axial direction B) in a direction away from the rotating member 240. Since the rack portion 282A of the first connecting member 282 is engaged with the gear portion 240A of the rotating member 240, the first connecting member 282 simultaneously drives the rotating member 240 to rotate in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction a of the second plate 124, and the rotating member 240 simultaneously drives the door 160 to stop the opening 120A.

In this embodiment, the storage box 200 may further include an elastic member (not shown), such as a torsion spring (please refer to the elastic member 140B of fig. 2A and 2B), disposed on the rotating member 240, so as to apply a force to the rotating member 240. Therefore, when the user lifts the storage box 200, the elastic member enables the stop door 160 to continuously stop the opening 120a, so that the storage box 200 is not limited by gravity, and the elastic member can drive the rotating member 240 to drive the stop door 160 to automatically stop the opening 120a in all directions. One end of the elastic member 140B can be connected to the rotating member 140, and the other end of the elastic member 140B can be connected to a fixed object (e.g., a wall surface of the first plate 122), but the connection relationship of the elastic member 140B is not limited thereto.

In this embodiment, the storage box 200 may further include an elastic member pressed between the second connecting member 284 and the box body 120, so as to apply a force to the second connecting member 284 to move the second connecting member 284 away from the second plate 124 of the box body 120, thereby driving the door 160 to stop the opening 120 a.

In the aforementioned embodiment, the storage box 200 may further comprise a lever mechanism (not shown, please refer to the lever mechanism 190 of fig. 2E and 2F), wherein the lever mechanism is rotatably coupled to the box 120 outside the second plate 124, and the second connecting member 284 is instead designed as a lever (not shown, please refer to the second connecting member 184' of fig. 2E and 2F). The connection and operation relationship are the same as those described above and will not be described again.

In the present embodiment, the rotating member 240 may have a housing outside (see the housing 110 in fig. 1, the housing is omitted in fig. 3A and 3B for clarity of illustration of the internal structure). The rotating member 240 is rotatably disposed in the housing 110 to be protected by the housing 110, wherein the door 160 can penetrate into the opening (please refer to fig. 1, opening 110a) to engage with the rotating member 240. In other embodiments, the rotating member 240 extends through the opening (see fig. 1, opening 110a) to engage with the door 160.

In this embodiment, the storage box 200 may further include another rotating member, another door, and another moving element, which are disposed at symmetrical positions of the original rotating member 240, door 160, and moving element 280 with respect to the box 120. In addition, the combination and actuation relationship of the two shutters are the same as those of the original case 120, the rotating member 240, the door 160 and the moving element 280, and will not be described herein again, so that the storage box 200 has two doors 160 that can automatically stop the opening 120a when the storage box 200 is lifted and open the opening 120a when the storage box 200 is placed on a table.

Please refer to fig. 4A and fig. 4B. As shown in fig. 4A and 4B, in the storage box 300 of the present embodiment, the moving assembly 380 is combined by a screw thread, and the moving assembly 380 has a first connecting member 382 and a second connecting member 384. The housing 120 includes a first plate 122 and a second plate 124 connected to form a portion of the opening 120 a. The rotating member 340 is rotatably coupled to the first plate 122, and the moving member 380 is coupled to the second plate 124. The first plate 122 may be mounted with the bearing 150 such that the rotating member 340 may rotate with respect to the bearing 150 (i.e., the rotating member 340 may be rotatably coupled to the first plate 122 via the bearing 150). In other words, the rotating member 340 is rotated about the axis direction a perpendicular to the second plate member 124 by the bearing 150, and further, the rotating member 340 has a threaded portion, the second connecting member 384 includes a screw hole having an internal threaded structure, and the screw hole is engaged with the threaded portion.

As shown in fig. 4A and 4B, one end of the second connecting member 384 is rotatably coupled to the outer side of the box 120 and the second plate 124, and is configured to move toward and away from the box 120 along the aforementioned axial direction a. The other end of the second connecting member 384 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 382, such that the second connecting member 384 moves toward and away from the housing 120 while moving the first connecting member 382 along the axial direction a.

As shown in fig. 4A, when the user places the storage box 300 on the table, the second link 384 is moved toward the second plate 124 of the box body 120 by the reaction force of the table, and simultaneously, the first link 382 is forced to move the first link 382 toward the rotary member 340 along the aforementioned axial direction a. The screw hole of the first connecting member 382 applies a force to the screw portion of the rotating member 340 to drive the rotating member 340 to rotate, and further drive the door 160 to open the opening 120 a.

As shown in fig. 4B, when the user lifts the storage box 300, the second connecting member 384 moves away from the second plate 124 of the box body 120 under the influence of gravity and simultaneously applies a force to the first connecting member 382 such that the first connecting member 382 moves away from the rotating member 340 along the aforementioned axial direction a. Meanwhile, the internal thread structure of the screw hole of the first connecting member 382 applies a force to the screw thread portion of the rotating member 340 to drive the rotating member 340 to rotate, and further drive the door 160 to stop the opening 120 a.

The door 160 can penetrate into the opening (see fig. 1, opening 110a) to engage with the rotating member 340. In other embodiments, the rotating member 340 extends out of the opening (see fig. 1, opening 110a) to engage with the door 160.

In this embodiment, the storage box 300 may further include an elastic member (e.g., a torsion spring) disposed on the rotating member 340, so as to apply a force to the rotating member 340 to make the shutter 160 continuously stop the opening 120a (not shown, please refer to 140B in fig. 2C and 2D), so that the storage box 300 is not limited by gravity, and the elastic member drives the rotating member 240 to drive the shutter 160 to automatically stop the opening 120a in all directions. One end of the elastic member 140B can be connected to the rotating member 140, and the other end of the elastic member 140B can be connected to a fixed object (e.g., a wall surface of the first plate 122), but the connection relationship of the elastic member 140B is not limited thereto.

In this embodiment, the storage box 300 may further include an elastic member pressed between the second connection member 384 and the box body 120, so as to apply a force to the second connection member 384 to move the second connection member 384 away from the second plate 124 of the box body 120, thereby driving the door 160 to stop the opening 120 a.

In the aforementioned embodiment, the storage box 300 may further include a lever mechanism (please refer to the lever mechanism 190 in fig. 2E and 2F), wherein the lever mechanism is rotatably coupled to the box 120 outside the second plate 124, and the second connecting member 384 is instead designed as a lever (please refer to the second connecting member 184' in fig. 2E and 2F). The connection and actuation relationships are the same as those described above and will not be described herein.
