Bit structure.

In one embodiment, the first top edge is away from the side of the first side opening and faces the inside and the opening of the storage box. A third top edge is formed when the first box body and the second box body are assembled. The edge and the second top edge jointly form an opening, and the third top edge and the second top edge are flush.

In one embodiment, the first bottom and the second bottom are connected with a plurality of bulging parts.

In one embodiment, the second top edge further has at least two hollow sections, and the hollow sections are distributed at least on both sides of the second side opening.

In one embodiment, the storage box has an accommodating space, and the volume of the accommodating space is not greater than the combined volume of the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space.

In summary, in this case, two boxes are assembled to form a storage box to achieve the effect of adjusting the size (capacity) of its accommodating space, so that one storage box can provide a variety of capacities and improve the user’s experience. Quality of life, saving home space and other purposes. In addition, through the aforementioned multiple ergonomic designs, for example, the blocking portion and the blocking rib are arranged at a position adjacent to the force application point, thereby enhancing the user experience of the storage box in this case.

The storage box according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to related drawings, and the same components will be described with the same component symbols.

It should be noted that the directional indicators (such as front, back, left, right, up, down, clockwise, counterclockwise, etc.) in the various embodiments of this case are only used to explain in a certain type (such as the attached As shown in the diagrams), the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. of the various components under the following diagrams, if the specific type changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

As shown in Figures 1 to 2, the storage box 100 of the present case is a storage box 100 that can be retracted to adjust the size of its accommodating space. The material of the storage box 100 can be, for example, but not limited to, plastic materials, which can be adjusted by the user according to his needs. The type of the storage box 100 is, for example, but not limited to: a collapsed type (as shown in FIG. 1) or an expanded type (as shown in FIG. 2).

Fig. 3 is an exploded schematic diagram of related components of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the storage box 100 includes a first box body 1 and a second box body 2. The first box body 1 includes a first side wall 11, a first bottom 12, and a first accommodating space 13. The other end of the first side wall 11 has a first side opening 14 and is located away from the first bottom. One side of 12 has a first top edge 15.

In this embodiment, a second box body 2 includes a second side wall 21, a second bottom 22, and a second accommodating space 23. The other end of the second side wall 21 has a second side opening 24. A second top edge 25 is provided on a side far away from the second bottom 22.

It should be noted that the size (volume) of the first accommodating space 13 is defined by the plane of the first side wall 11, a first bottom 12, and the first side opening 14; similarly, the second The size (volume) of the accommodating space 23 is defined by the plane of the second side wall 21, the second bottom 22 and the second side opening 24.

That is to say, the first box body 1 and the second box body 2 generally present a similar structure, with a side wall, a bottom, and an accommodating space formed by the side wall and the bottom.

As shown in Figures 5 and 12, if viewed from the perspective of the top view, both the first box body 1 and the second box body 2 have an appearance that roughly presents the phonetic "ㄇ, ㄈ" font (it can also be in English The side walls (the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 21) of the letter "U" and the first top edge 15 and the second top edge 25 on the side walls".

As shown in FIG. 3, if viewed from one side of the first side opening 14 or the second side opening 24, the first side opening 14 and the second side opening 24 roughly present the phonetic "ㄇ, ㄈ" The shape of the font.

In particular, it should be noted that since the storage box 100 is composed of the first box body 1 and the second box body 2, the side wall (such as the first side wall 11) of one of the box bodies (for example, the first box body 1), The width of the opening (such as the first side opening 14) must be larger than the side wall (such as the second side wall 21) and the opening (such as the second side opening 24) of another box (such as the second box 2).

Fig. 4C is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view of Fig. 3. Please refer to FIGS. 3 and 4C together. In addition to the first top edge 15 and the second top edge 25, the first box body 1 is further on its first side wall 11, on the first top edge 15 and the first bottom 12 There is a first neck edge 17 parallel to the first top edge 15 therebetween. The second box body 2 further includes a second neck edge 27 parallel to the second top edge 25 on the second side wall 21 between the second top edge 25 and the second bottom 22; the first neck edge 17 The width of is greater than the width of the second neck edge 27. The arrangement of the first neck edge 17 and the second neck edge 27 has an effect similar to a track. This arrangement makes the movement between the first box body 1 and the second box body 2 smoother.

Please also refer to Figure 3 (3D view), Figure 4A ~ Figure 4B and Figure 15 ~ Figure 17, Figure 4A is a partial enlarged view of Figure 3 A, Figure 15 ~ Figure 17 is a top view and a cross-sectional view, in the first box The inner side of the body 1 has a blocking portion 18A adjacent to the first side opening 14; FIG. 4B is a partial enlarged view at B of FIG. 3, and the outer side of the second box body 2 is adjacent to the second side opening 24 and near the The position of the two top openings further has a plurality of barrier ribs 28A. The barrier ribs 28A are arranged along the direction of the slide rail 251. Therefore, the barrier portion 18A can be slightly fixed between the two barrier ribs 28A (as shown in FIG. 17). The glove box 100 can temporarily form a stable structure. Furthermore, when the user adjusts the storage box 100 along the sliding rail 251 to increase its accommodating space (as shown in the operation of FIG. 2) or when reducing its accommodating space along the sliding rail 251 (the reverse operation of the operation as shown in Fig. 2) (Hereinafter collectively referred to as the expansion process), it can "quantitatively" increase or decrease the size of its housing space.

In particular, it should be noted that during the process of stretching the storage box 100, the palm of the hand or finger of the general user will be closer to the top edge (for example, the first top edge 15, the second top edge 25, and even the third top edge 16 described later). The force (vector) exerted by the user will spread along the overall structure. That is to say, the farther away from the force application point, the more the directionality will deviate from the force (vector) applied by the original user. If the blocking portion 18A and the blocking rib 28A are the structural distances that quantify the adjustment degree and provide small resistance If the force point is too far, it will cause obstacles to use. In this embodiment, the aforementioned ergonomics is used, and the blocking portion 18A and the blocking rib 28A of the first box body 1 and the second box body 2 are arranged near the characteristic close position of the general user to stretch the storage box 100, so The glove box 100 can be expanded and contracted smoothly.

In one embodiment, the first blocking portion 18A is disposed between the first neck edge 17 and the first top edge 15; the blocking rib 28A is disposed between the second top edge 25 and the second neck edge 27 between.

In addition, the first box body 1 may also be provided with one or more than two first limiting portions 18B, and the second box body 2 may be provided with one or more than two first limiting structures 28B. The fixing effect between the first limiting portion 18B and the first limiting structure 28B is slightly greater than the fixing effect between the blocking portion 18A and the blocking rib 28A. Here is an example of providing a limiting portion and two first limiting structures 28B. The effect of the first limiting structure 28B is that the first box body 1 and the second box body 2 cannot be easily Assembling and disassembling, under normal circumstances (when assembling), the first limiting portion 18B is not located between the two first limiting structures 28B, because it can be ensured that the user does not need to spend too much effort in the expansion and contraction process. When the user accidentally exerts excessive force or excessive force causes the first limiting part 18B to break through the first first limiting structure 28B, the first limiting structure 28B will produce a barrier that is different from that of the user in the expansion and contraction process. The tactile sensation generated when the 18A moves between the plurality of barrier ribs 28A is fed back to the user, so that the user can stop the expansion and contraction of the opposed object in time. Moreover, when the first limiting portion 18B is between the two first limiting structures 28B, the storage box 100 forms a stable structure more temporarily to ensure that the contents contained in the storage box 100 will not fall out.

In one embodiment, the first limiting portion 18B is disposed between the first neck edge 17 and the first top edge 15; the first limiting structure 28B is disposed on the second top edge 25 and the second neck edge. Between the edges 27.

The working principles of the second limiting portion 18C, the second limiting structure 28C, and the third limiting structure 28D will be explained below.

The following describes the principle states of the second limit portion 18C, the second limit structure 28C, and the third limit structure 28D in the collapsed state, between the collapsed state and the expanded state, and in the expanded state. .

Please refer to Figure 5 to Figure 7 (folded form), Figure 15 to Figure 17 (between the collapsed form and the expanded form), and Figure 12 to Figure 14 (expanded form), box one The first bottom 12 of the body 1 is protrudingly provided with a second limiting portion 18C in the direction toward the first top edge 15. The second limiting portion 18C has a rib-like structure, and the direction of its long axis is in line with the telescopic direction of the storage box 100 (such as Figure 2) Appears vertical. The second body of the second box 2 is protrudingly provided with a second limiting structure 28C and a third limiting structure 28D facing away from the second top edge 25. The second limiting structure 28C and the third limiting structure 28D can be, for example, It is a rib-like structure that is parallel to the second limiting portion 18C or is formed by two or more protruding structures.

To further explain, if it is a limiting structure formed by two or more protruding structures, the connecting line between these protruding structures needs to be parallel to the second limiting portion 18C. Generally speaking (when assembling), the second limiting portion 18C is between the second limiting structure 28C and the third limiting structure 28D. When the storage box 100 is condensed to the folded state (as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7), the first bottom 12 close to the second limiting portion 18C will abut the third limiting structure 28D (as shown in FIG. 7). In contrast, when the glove box 100 is stretched to the unfolded state (as shown in Figure 12 to Figure 14), the second limiting portion 18C will abut the third limiting structure 28D (Figure 14); and during the expansion and contraction process In this case, the blocking portion 18A of the first side wall 11 will repeatedly touch the blocking rib 28A of the second side wall 21 (as shown in FIG. 17).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, in addition to the first top edge 15, in other embodiments, the first first top edge 15 is away from the side of the first side opening 14 and faces the inner side of the storage box 100 and A third top edge 16 is formed at the opening. When the first box body 1 and the second box body 2 are assembled, the third top edge 16 and the second top edge 25 jointly form the opening, and the third The top edge 16 and the second top edge 25 are flush. When the storage box 100 is transformed from the unfolded shape to the folded shape, the second top edge 25 will abut the third top edge 16, so that it stops closing. Combined effect.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 4C, the storage box 100 in this case has a hollow section 252 at the second top edge 25, which functions to provide the user with a view of the degree of unfolding of the storage box 100, especially as shown in FIG. 2. The first top edge 15 of the first box body 1 is exposed in the hollow section 252, so the user can clearly see the distance between the first box body 1 and the second box body 2.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8 to 10, the second box body 2 has a second protruding structure 211 formed on the second side wall 21 on both sides of the second side opening 24. When the storage box 100 is in a folded state, The second protruding structure 211 will abut against the first side wall 11 (as shown in FIG. 10). In addition, the first box body 1 has a first protruding structure 111 formed on the first side wall 11 on both sides of the first side opening 14. When multiple storage boxes are stacked together (not shown), the end of the second protruding structure 211 facing the second bottom 22 and the end of the first protruding structure 111 facing the first bottom 12 together abut other storage boxes 1 located in the lower layer. The first top edge 15 and the second top edge 25 of the storage box 1 are stacked together, so that the first side wall 11 or the second side wall 21 of the storage box 1 will not be too heavy due to the excessive weight. It is stuck and cannot be separated.

As shown in Figures 3, 9 and 16, the first bottom part 12 of the first box body 1 and the second bottom part 22 of the second box body 2 both have a plurality of bulging parts, so that the content and the first bottom part 12 or A gap can be maintained between the second bottom 22, so that when the hard contents are placed in the storage box, the hard contents mostly only scratch the apex of the bulging part, thereby reducing the overall wear.

In summary, in this case, two boxes are assembled to form a storage box to achieve the effect of adjusting the size (capacity) of its accommodating space, so that one storage box can provide a variety of capacities and improve the user’s experience. Quality of life, saving home space and other purposes. In addition, through the aforementioned multiple ergonomic designs, for example, the blocking portion and the blocking rib are arranged at a position adjacent to the force application point, thereby enhancing the user experience of the storage box in this case.
