TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of storage boxes, and in particular
to a resizable storage box.
BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY
[0002] A storage box is a kind of box used to summarize and organize idle items in daily
life. According to the preparation material, the storage box can be classified into
a plastic storage box, a wooden storage box or a canvas storage box. The plastic storage
box and the wooden storage box are usually fixed structures, and cannot be folded
when there are few idle items in life and no need to use the storage box for storage.
Although the canvas storage box can be folded, there is no retractable fixed frame
member inside. The canvas storage box just adopts a simple fiber cloth bag with a
simple overall design. After being folded for a long time, the canvas storage box
will easily deform, which will affect its reuse. At the same time, as today's social
life has entered the Internet era, the prevalence of online shopping has led to a
large increase in logistics express delivery, and accordingly the use of packaging
and storage boxes used in logistics has also increased accordingly. Traditional storage
boxes used for logistics packaging are mass-produced according to fixed specifications.
However, the actual size of items that the general public needs to store is not fixed,
so there is often a mismatch between the storage box and the items. This hinders the
smooth packaging and safe transportation of the items, and causes a significant unnecessary
waste of box materials.
CONTENT OF THE INVENTION
[0003] An objective of the present disclosure is, in view of the above shortcomings, to
provide a storage box that can freely adjust its size in three directions. When the
storage box is not needed for storing an item, it is folded to save storage space.

be freely adjusted in three directions according to the size of the item, making it
flexible and convenient to use.

elastic connector (4-3) is provided with second slide rail (4-71), and the other side
is provided with second slider (4-72) that is in a sliding fit with the second slide
rail (4-71). A sliding direction of the second inner rotating plate (4-5) relative
to the second outer rotating plate (4-2) is perpendicular to the rotation direction
of the first inner rotating plate (4-4) relative to the second inner rotating plate
(4-5).
[0070] In this embodiment, the first outer rotating plate (4-1) can be fixedly provided on
the first lateral corrugated plate (1-11) of the bidirectional retractable plate assembly
(1-1). Alternatively, the first outer rotating plate (4-1) and the first lateral corrugated
plate (1-11) can also be formed into an integrated structure. Alternatively, the first
lateral corrugated plate (1-11) directly serves as the first outer rotating plate
(4-1). Similarly, the second outer rotating plate (4-2) can be fixedly provided on
the bottom plate (3) or the vertically folding avoidance plate (3-321). Alternatively,
the second outer rotating plate (4-2) and the bottom plate (3) or the vertically folding
avoidance plate (3-321) can also be formed into an integrated structure. Alternatively,
the bottom plate (3) or the vertically folding avoidance plate (3-321) directly serves
as the second outer rotating plate (4-2).
[0071] Meanwhile, the first slide rail (4-61) and the second slide rail (4-71) can be independently
provided between the first lateral corrugated plate (1-11) and the second lateral
corrugated plate (1-12) of the bidirectional retractable plate assembly (1-1). Alternatively,
they can directly serve as a sliding structure between the first lateral corrugated
plate (1-11) and the second lateral corrugated plate (1-12).
Embodiment 16
[0072] As shown in FIGS. 32 and 33, this embodiment is another embodiment of the hinge assembly
described in the present disclosure. The hinge assembly in this embodiment and the
hinge assembly in the previous embodiment differ as follows. The mounting position
of the hinge (4-6) between the first inner rotating plate (4-4) and the second inner
rotating plate (4-5) is different. In this embodiment, the hinge is provided on the
other side of the first inner rotating plate (4-4) and the second inner rotating plate
(4-5). The remaining structure is the same as the previous embodiment.
[0073] Meanwhile, the various structures of the bidirectional retractable plate assemblies
(1-1) described in the above embodiments of the present disclosure can also be taken
as various side plates or bottom plates at will. This is also a technical solution
protected by the present disclosure, and will not be repeated herein.
[0074] In the present disclosure, the advantages of the hinge assembly (4) are as follows.
The first slide rail (4-61) and the first slider (4-62), as well as the second slide
rail (4-71), and the second slider (4-72), form a sliding structure. In both folded
and unfolded states, the first outer rotating plate (4-1) and the second outer rotating
plate (4-2), as well as the first inner rotating plate (4-4) and the second inner
rotating plate (4-5), can be freely slidably retracted and extended. The first slide
rail (4-61) and the second slide rail (4-71) play a limiting role. The displacement
that may occur during the folding process between the inner and outer plates is adjusted
through the arc-shaped elastic connector (4-3) to ensure that their folding direction
is always perpendicular to the sliding direction. The design greatly improves the
stability of the folding structure between the side wall and the bottom plate, as
well as between various side walls. In addition, the edge positions of the inner and
outer plates between the side wall and the bottom plate, as well as between various
side walls, can be aligned at any time without interference in the folded or unfolded
state. Thus, each side wall and the bottom plate can be smoothly pushed and pulled
to achieve retraction and extension in the folded or unfolded state. Meanwhile, in
order to smoothly achieve the purpose of retraction and extension, when the edge positions
of the inner and outer plates between each side wall and the bottom plate, as well
as between various side walls, are hinged, the best connection method is to provide
a hinge structure between the mutually close inner plates, as well as between the
mutually close outer plates.
[0075] In the description of the present disclosure, the term "hinge" is only intended to
describe the connection relationship between the components. Therefore, features defined
by "hinge" can explicitly or implicitly include various implementations such as fold
hinge, butt hinge, and link hinge.
[0076] In addition, it should be noted that the corresponding drawings of the corrugated
plates described in the embodiment show a structure with a wave-shaped cross-section.
It is easy for those skilled in the art to conceive that a solution of modifying the
wave shape into to a square shape, a V shape, a trapezoidal shape, or a combination
thereof should be included within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
In addition, those skilled in the art should understand that the slidable sleeve structure
of the corrugated plates requires appropriate damping such that two corrugated plates
can slide relative to each other and maintain a certain friction force at a specific
position to achieve locking effect, thereby maintaining a certain spatial shape and
size of the box body.
[0077] Although the present disclosure is described above in detail according to the specific
embodiments and alternatives thereof, it should be understood that various changes
and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present
disclosure can also be implemented. In the embodiments of the present application,
unless otherwise clearly specified, the terms such as "connection" and "fixation"
are intended to be understood in a broad sense. For example, the "connection" may
be a fixed connection, removable connection or integral connection; may be a mechanical
connection or electrical connection; may be a direct connection or indirect connection
via a medium; and may be a communication or interaction between two elements. Those
of ordinary skill in the art may understand specific meanings of the above terms in
the present disclosure based on a specific situation. In addition, orientation or
position relationships indicated by terms such as "upper and lower" and "left and
right" are shown in the drawings. These terms are merely intended to facilitate and
simplify the description, rather than to indicate or imply a specific orientation.
[0078] Therefore, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not subject to
any limitations except for the claims and equivalents thereof.
