The present disclosure relates to a field of storage devices, and in particular to a storage box and a storage rack.
Storage boxes are boxes used for storing items, when there are requirements to use the storage boxes, the storage boxes are taken out to storage the items, and when the requirements are gone, a storage problem of the storage boxes needs to be considered. In particular, the storage boxes are not only applied to industrial production, but also are widely applied to all aspects such as daily life, etc.
When there are a plurality of idle storage boxes, the storage boxes need to be stacked, a space occupied by the storage boxes is equal to a total volume of all the storage boxes, which requires a large space, so that there is a requirement for providing a storage box capable of considering about the large space is occupied when the plurality of the idle storage boxes are stored.
In order to solve technical problems mentioned in the background, the present disclosure provides a storage box and a storage rack.
The present disclosure provides a storage box, including a bottom, a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall and a fourth side wall. The first side wall, the second side wall, the third side wall and the fourth side wall sequentially surround the bottom. The first side wall is parallel to the third side wall, the second side wall is parallel to the fourth side wall, and the first side wall is perpendicular to the second side wall. A first notch is disposed on the first side wall, a second notch is disposed on the second side wall, a width of the first notch is larger than or equal to a thickness of the second side wall, a width of the second notch is larger than or equal to a thickness of the first side wall.
Furthermore, the first notch is closer to the fourth side wall than to the second side wall.
Furthermore, the second notch is closer to the third side wall than to the first side wall.
The present disclosure further provides a storage rack, including supporting rods, a bottom storage box, a top storage box, and at least one middle storage box. The bottom storage box, the top storage box, and the middle storage box each defines a plurality of mounting holes thereon for installing ends of the supporting rods, two of the mounting holes defined on the middle storage box are coaxial along a vertical direction, adjacent storage boxes of any two of the bottom storage box, the top storage box, and the middle storage box, are detachably connected through the supporting rods. The bottom storage box, the top storage box and the middle storage box are sequentially stacked, and the middle storage box is in a structure of the above storage box.
The storage rack further includes a first sliding component and a second sliding component. The first sliding component slides along two sides of the first notch to block the first notch, and the second sliding component slides along two sides of the second notch to block the second notch.
Furthermore, a cross section of the first sliding component is of an I-shaped structure.
Furthermore, a respective hook part is disposed on an outward side surface of the first sliding component and/or an outward side surface of the second sliding component.
Furthermore, a protrusion part is disposed on an inner side wall of each of the mounting holes, and the protrusion part is gradually inclined from outside to inside, so that a diameter of each of the mounting holes becomes smaller when gradually closing to a bottom of each of the mounting holes.
Furthermore, structures of the bottom storage box, the top storage box, and the middle storage box are all consistent.
Further, the adjacent storage boxes of any two of the bottom storage box, the top storage box, and the middle storage box, are connected through four of the supporting rods. At least four of the mounting holes are respectively defined on four side corners of the bottom storage box and/or four side corners of the top storage box, at least four sets of the mounting holes are respectively defined on four side corners of the middle storage box, and each of the four sets of the mounting holes includes two mounting holes where the two mounting holes are coaxial along a vertical direction.
In the present disclosure, a respective notch is disposed on each of two adjacent side walls of the storage box, and a width of the notch is larger than or equal to a thickness of each of the side walls, so that two identical storage boxes are embedded through the notch on any one of the two storage boxes, thereby saving a space formed after the two storage boxes overlap. In addition, any two of the storage boxes may be embedded to save space, when there are requirements to store two or more idle storage boxes, the present disclosure provides a small structural change to bring an obvious storage space change, which needs neither complicated splicing structures nor cumbersome operation steps.
