Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, a storage container of the invention comprises a slide frame 1 and a drawer 2 movably disposed in the slide frame 1. The slide frame 1 comprises a bottom plate 11, at least one column 13 and a top plate 12. The column 13 is disposed between the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 12, the opposite sides of the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 12 are provided with insertion grooves 14, and one side of the inner wall of each insertion groove 14 is provided with a clamping groove 15. Clamping plates 131 are disposed at the top end and bottom end of the column 13, the ends of clamping plates 131 far away from the column 13 extend into the insertion grooves 14, and the clamping plates 131 are also provided with clamping blocks 132 connected to the clamping grooves 15.


A positioning enclosure 112 is disposed on the bottom of the bottom plate 11 , and a positioning groove 122 matching the positioning enclosure 112 for stacking two slide frames 1 is disposed on the top of the top plate 12.


A slide rail 114 is disposed on the top of the bottom plate 11, a slide rod 21 matching the slide rail 114 is disposed on the bottom of the drawer 2, and the slide rod 21 is movably disposed in the slide rail 114, so that the slide rod 21 can only slide along the track of the slide rail 114.


As a specific technical solution of the embodiment, a reinforcing enclosure 23 is disposed on the top of the drawer 2, a handle 24 is disposed on one side of the reinforcing enclosure 23, and the drawer 2, the reinforcing enclosure 23 and the handle 24 are integrally formed. The reinforcing enclosure 23 effectively improves the structural strength of the opening of the drawer 2, avoiding cracks and damages. The handle 24 disposed in an arc shape is beautiful and comfortable to hold. The drawer 2, the reinforcing enclosure 23 and the handle 24 are integrally formed, further ensuring the structural strength.


As a specific technical solution of the embodiment, at least one hollow groove 113 is disposed at the bottom of the bottom plate 11, and at least one abrasive strip II 22 is disposed at the bottom of the drawer 2 to increase the friction between the bottom of the drawer 2 and the top of the bottom plate 11. The hollow groove 113 saves the raw materials for processing the bottom plate 11, and is conducive to releasing the stress generated during the forming of the bottom plate 11, reducing the weight of the bottom plate 11, and then making the product lighter as a whole. The friction resistance between the abrasive strip II 22 and the hollow groove 113 is high, so the user needs to pull the drawer 2 with a little force, which ensures the stability of the drawer 2.


As a specific technical solution of the embodiment, both the top end and the bottom end of the column 13 are provided with inserting plates 133 on both sides of the clamping plates 131. The ends of the inserting plates 133 far from the column 13 extend into the insertion grooves 14, and the sides of the clamping plates 131 far from the clamping blocks 132 are provided with reinforcing ribs 134. The reinforcing ribs 134 ensure the stability of the clamping plates 131 and avoids the fracture after multiple plugging and pulling. The inserting plates 133 increase the stability and area of the connection between the column 13 and the bottom plate 11 and the top, and can also protect the clamping plates 131. When the product is disassembled, since the inserting plates 133 are located on both sides of the clamping plates 131, the clamping plates 131 will not be damaged in case of collision.


As a specific technical solution of the embodiment, at least one support rib 135 is disposed on the side of the column 13 towards the drawer 2, and the inserting plates 133, the clamping plates 131, the reinforcing ribs 134 and the clamping blocks 132 are integrally formed. A plurality of support ribs 135 are disposed on the side of the column 13 towards the drawer 2, which ensures the overall structural strength of the column 13, while saving processing raw materials, which is economical.


As a specific technical solution of the embodiment, a connecting enclosure 111 is disposed on the top of the bottom plate 11 , the insertion grooves 14 on the bottom plate 11 are disposed in the connecting enclosure 111, side plates 121 are disposed at both bottom sides of the top plate 12, and the insertion grooves 14 on the top plate 12 are disposed in the side plates 121. The connecting enclosure 111 is used to cover one side of the drawer 2. One side of the connecting enclosure 111 has a gap, so that the drawer 2 can be drawn freely through the gap. The side plates 121 can cover both sides of the drawer 2. Since the enclosure limits the drawing direction of the drawer 2, the top plate 12 only needs to protect both sides of the drawer 2 on the side plates 121. The insertion grooves 14 are in the side plates 121 and the connecting enclosure 111. The hidden design makes the appearance beautiful.


As a specific technical solution of the embodiment, the positioning enclosure 112 is also provided with at least one positioning annular groove 116 for placing rubber pads. The slide rail 114 comprises a guide rail I 1141 and a guide rail II 1142 fixedly disposed on the bottom plate 11 and respectively located on both sides of the slide rod 21. One end of the guide rail II 1142 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the connecting enclosure 111 through a connecting part 115. The positioning annular groove 116 is used for installing the rubber pads. After the rubber pads are installed in the positioning annular groove 116, the positioning enclosure 112 does not directly contact the ground. The contact between the rubber pads and the ground makes the anti-skid effect better, and also reduces the wear of the positioning enclosure 112. The guide rail I 1141 and guide rail II 1142 are used together with the slide rod 21 to ensure the stability of the drawer 2 during storage. At the same time, one end of the guide rail II 1142 is fixedly connected to the connecting enclosure 111 through the connecting part 115. When the connecting enclosure 111 is impacted by the drawer 2, the connecting enclosure 111 pulls the guide rail II 1142 through the connecting part 115, which further ensures the stability of the connecting enclosure 111 and the guide rail II 1142.


As a specific technical solution of the embodiment, the clamping grooves 15 are inclined. Clamping parts 16 are disposed at the bottoms of the clamping grooves 15. The clamping blocks 132 are clamped with the clamping parts16.The clamping blocks 132 respectively with arc-shaped end match with the inclined clamping grooves 15, which facilitates the insertion of the clamping blocks 132 and makes the insertion process smoother. The clamping parts 16 can be stably clamped with the clamping blocks 132, making the connection between the column 13, the bottom plate 11 and the top more stable.


As a specific technical solution of the embodiment, through holes 17 corresponding to the clamping parts 16 are disposed at the bottom of the bottom plate 11 and the top of the top plate 12. The clamping blocks 132 can be warped by tools through the through holes 17. When disassembling the bottom plate 11, the column 13 and the top plate 12, a screwdriver or any other tool can be used to lift the clamping blocks 132 through the through holes 17 at the bottom of the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 12, so that the clamping blocks 132 are separated from the clamping parts 16, and then the clamping plates 131 can be pulled out from the clamping grooves 15. The operation is simple and fast.


As a specific technical solution of the embodiment, at least one abrasive strip I 123 is disposed in the positioning groove 122. When stacking two slide frames 1, the abrasive strip I 123 increases the friction between the positioning groove 122 and the positioning enclosure 112. When stacking two slide frames 1, the bottom of the positioning enclosure 112 contacts with the abrasive strip I 123 to make the connection more stable


When in use, pull the drawer 2 through the handle 24, the drawer 2 drives the slide table to slide in the slide rail 114, and the drawer 2 is taken out through the gap at one side of the connecting enclosure 111. When multiple products are stacked together, lift the other slide frame 1, and clamp the positioning enclosure 112 at the bottom of the slide frame 1 with the positioning groove 122 at the top of the other slide frame 1, so that the two slide frames 1 can be combined. When disassembling the slide frame 1, use a tool to tilt the clamping blocks 132 through the through holes 17 at the bottom of the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 12, so that the clamping blocks 132 are separated from the clamping parts 16. In this way, the clamping plates 131 are pulled out from the clamping grooves 15. After that, the bottom plate 11, the column 13 and the top plate 12 can be disassembled. The above is the operation method of the product.


The invention has the following advantages and benefits in comparison with the conventional storage containers: the storage container is equipped with the slide frame 1 and the drawer 2, and adopts the drawer type to achieve independent use, or multiple products can be stacked together for use without affecting the independent drawing action. The bottom plate 11, column 13 and top plate 12, which form the slide frame 1, are movably clamped. Therefore, the invention has the advantages of convenient disassembly and assembly, high stability after assembly, low cost and practicality, and broad application prospects
