Embodiment 1

Referring to FIG. 1, a packaging storage container is provided according to embodiments of the present application, which is configured to accommodate sheet-like objects, and includes a container bottom portion 1, a container cover portion 2, a ridge member 3 and a tray 4. The container bottom portion 1 and the container cover portion 2 are hinged to two opposite lateral edges of the ridge member 3, the container bottom portion 1 and the container cover portion 2 are both provided with container edge members 5, the container bottom portion 1 and the container cover portion 2 form a sealed container body with the ridge member 3, and the sheet-like objects are stored in the sealed container body. The container bottom portion 1 and the container cover portion 2 can turn over around the ridge member 3, so that the packaging storage container can be operated between an open state and a close state. The tray 4 is configured to hold and accommodate the sheet-like objects.


Referring to FIGS. 2A to 2E, the container bottom portion 1 is provided with a pair of separate articulated shaft-receiving bases 7 at the lateral inner edge, the tray 4 is connected to the articulated shaft-receiving base 7 through an articulated shaft 6 provided thereon, an inner space for self-adaptive rotation and shock absorption of the articulated shaft 6 is defined in the articulated shaft-receiving base 7, and the articulated shaft 6 is received in the inner space of the articulated shaft-receiving base 7, so that the tray 4 can turn over around the articulated shaft-receiving base 7.


The articulated shaft-receiving bases 7 includes a connecting piece 18 and a pair of limiting walls 17, a lower end of the limiting walls 17 is connected to the container bottom portion 1, and an upper end of the limiting walls 17 is provided with a hook-shaped member 19, the pair of limiting walls 17 are provided to be spaced apart from each other, that is, the hook-shaped members 19 of the pair of limiting walls 17 are provided opposite to each other without contacting with each other. A gap is provided between the hook-shaped members 19 of the pair of limiting walls 17. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the articulated shaft 6 is provided with a pair of protruding portions 61 with column shape in axial direction thereof, the longitudinal length of the articulated shaft 6 between the pair of protruding portions 61 is configured to correspond to the articulated shaft-receiving base 7 and is able to be inserted between the pair of limiting walls 17 through the gap between the hook-shaped members 19 and is slightly longer than the longitudinal length of the limiting walls 17, so that the limiting walls 17 can realize the engagement with the articulated shaft 6 through said longitudinal length. The articulated shaft 6 enters between the pair of limiting walls 17 through the gap, so that the limiting walls 17 can realize the engagement with the articulated shaft 6. The connecting piece 18 is provided between the pair of the limiting walls 17, and the connecting piece 18 is respectively connected with each of the pair of the limiting walls 17 to form the inner space for accommodating said longitudinal length with the limiting walls 17, and the connecting piece 18 is an arc-shaped piece curved upwards. In the conventional technology, the articulated shaft is often stuck in the articulated shaft-receiving base, and the user may break the articulated shaft if the user continues to turn over the tray. Referring to FIGS. 4A to 4D, the articulated shaft-receiving base 7 according to the embodiments enables the longitudinal length of the articulated shaft 6 between the pair of protruding portions 61 to be adaptable with the arc-shaped structure of the connecting piece 18 so as to move along it when the tray 4 is turned over, and during said movement, said longitudinal length of the articulated shaft 6 keeps on contacting with the connecting piece 18 so as to be supported, and thus can adaptively be located at a position where the tray 4 can be turned smoothly, which prevents the articulated shaft 6 from being broken when the articulated shaft 6 is stuck and the user continues to turn over the tray 4.


In addition, the pair of protruding portions 61 may be integrated with the articulated shaft 6 or be separates parts and mounted to the articulated shaft 6.


Specially, referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, the diameter of the pair of protruding portions 61 is greater than the largest lateral width of the limiting walls 17, so that the protruding portions 61 can limit the axial movement of the articulated shaft 6 relative to the articulated shaft-receiving base 7 in the longitudinal direction by contacting and abutting against one end of the limiting walls 17. Therefore, when the packaging storage container falls in direction shown in FIG. 6A, the protruding portions 61 will abuts against the limiting walls 17 so as to stop the trays 4 moving downward, and thus the trays 4 cannot be disengaged from the articulated shaft-receiving base 7.


Referring to FIGS. 2D and 2E, the packaging storage container is further provided with a pair of articulated shaft-protection members 8 at both longitudinal ends thereof, which are located longitudinal outside the articulated shaft-receiving base 7. The articulated shaft-protection members 8 have a shape of box and are open to the axial ends of the articulated shaft 6. The articulated shaft-protection members 8 are provided with an elastic sheet 81 and a stopper 82. The elastic sheet 81 faces the axial end of the articulated shaft 6 and is elastic. The stopper 82 is arranged opposite to the axial end of the articulated shaft 6 and configured to support the elastic sheet 81 from backside.


Referring to FIGS. 4B to 4D and 6A to 6C, the axial end of the articulated shaft 6 is moved toward and thus abutted against the elastic sheet 81 as the packaging storage container being falling down, the elastic sheet 81 will move together with the articulated shaft 6 due to its own elasticity until being stopped by the stopper 82 from back side. With such structure, the functions of damping and stopping to the articulated shaft 6 can be obtained, and articulated shaft 6 can be prevented from being damaged during falling down.


Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4A, both the container bottom portion 1 and the container cover portion 2 have a container edge member 5, and when the packaging storage container is closed, the container edge member 5 of the container bottom portion 1 abuts against the container edge member 5 of the container cover portion 2 to form the sealed container body with the ridge member 3. In the conventional technology, when the packaging storage container falls, the articulated shaft often strikes the articulated shaft-receiving base, which causes the breaking of the articulated shaft. Referring to FIGS. 5A to 5E, the pair of the limiting walls 17 of the articulated shaft-receiving base 7 according to this embodiment is arranged separately, and the distance between the pair of the limiting walls 17 is configured so that when one lateral end of the tray 4 abuts against the container edge member 5 (see FIGS. 5B, 5E and 5F), the longitudinal length of the articulated shaft 6 between the pair of protruding portions 61 at the other lateral end of the tray 4 does not contact with the limiting walls 17 (see FIGS. 5B, 5C and 5D). Therefore, when the packaging storage container in the closed state falls, one end of the tray 4 abuts against the container edge member 5 first, and the articulated shaft 6 does not contact with the limiting walls 17 of the articulated shaft-receiving base 7, which prevents the articulated shaft 6 from being broken due to accidental fall or impact.


Referring to FIGS. 1A and 4A, the tray 4 may be configured as one or more identical trays 4, and each of the trays 4 shares the same one articulated shaft, and can be turned around the articulated shaft-receiving bases 7 independently.

An area of the tray 4 for holding and accommodating the sheet-like objects includes two identical panels, that is, a first panel 10 and a second panel 12, which respectively correspond to the first protuberance member 9 and the second protuberance member 11. The first panel 10 is connected with the second panel 12, the projections of the first panel 10 and the second panel 12 on the container bottom portion 1 are partially overlap. Preferably, the first panel 10 and the second panel 12 have a shape of circle, so that the connection part between the first panel 10 and the second panel 12 form a first recess 13 away from the ridge member 3 and a second recess 14 close to the ridge member 3, respectively. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the first panel 10 and the second panel 12 may have a shape of square, rectangular, oval and so on according to the shape of the sheet-like objects to be hold and accommodated. Moreover, grooves may be formed on the local area of the trays so as to accommodate the objects with special shape and thickness. All these variants will fall within the scope of the present application.
