A versatile storage bin structure includes a storage bin body. A receiving space, an upper opening coverable with an upper lid, and a lateral opening coverable with a right lateral lid are disposed at the storage bin body. A long groove is disposed beneath the lateral opening and communicates with a bottom space of the storage bin body. The bottom space has therein two rail grooves. Two tenons are disposed at two ends of the bottom edge of the right lateral lid, respectively, and inserted into the space defined by the rail grooves and the long groove. The right lateral lid can be pushed into the long groove for concealment. The first and second fasteners are disposed at the right lateral lid and the left lateral face, respectively, to fasten the upper lid. A frame-like rib is disposed on the upper lid to stack and elevate the storage bins.

1. A versatile storage bin structure, comprising: a storage bin body having a bottom face, a front lateral face, a rear lateral face, and a left lateral face, wherein the bottom face, the front lateral face, the rear lateral face, and the left lateral face together define and enclose a receiving space having an upper opening, wherein a periphery of the bottom face extends downward to form a flange running along the periphery fully and defining a bottom space opening downward, with the storage bin body further comprising a right lateral lid, wherein the storage bin body is provided with a lateral opening coverable precisely by the right lateral lid,wherein a long groove is disposed at a portion of the flange of the storage bin body, communicates with the bottom space, and extends in a direction of the bottom space to form two rail grooves disposed on the bottom face of the storage bin body,wherein a distance between the two rail grooves is slightly larger than a length of the long groove,wherein two tenons are disposed protrudingly at two ends of a bottom edge of the right lateral lid, respectively,wherein a width of the right lateral lid equals a length of the long groove,wherein the two tenons are inserted, confined and enclosed by the two rail grooves in the long groove, respectively,wherein with the two tenons each functioning as an axis, the right lateral lid by which the lateral opening is coverable is rotated about the two tenons to be opened or shut,wherein when opened to lie horizontally, the two tenons slide relative to the two rail grooves, respectively, such that the right lateral lid retreats into the bottom space of the storage bin body,wherein a raised portion wider than the long groove and the right lateral lid is disposed at a top portion of the right lateral lid, with the raised portion abutting with the right portion of the flange outside the long groove to restrict a limit of retreat of the right lateral lid,wherein a projecting edge portion is disposed at an upper edge of the lateral opening of the storage bin body, wherein the right lateral lid covers the lateral opening fully and allows the raised portion to come close to the projecting edge portion,wherein a male engaging element is disposed on the raised portion, wherein a female engaging slot corresponding in position to the male engaging element is disposed on the projecting edge portion,wherein when the lateral opening is covered with the right lateral lid, the male engaging element is engaged with and thus fastened to the female engaging slot. 2. The versatile storage bin structure of claim 1, wherein the male engaging element of the raised portion of the right lateral lid comes in form of a rib or a plurality of round bumps, whereas the female engaging slot of the storage bin body, which corresponds in position to the rib or the plurality of round bumps of the right lateral lid, has a recess, with the lateral opening of the storage bin body covered with the right lateral lid, the rib or the plurality of round bumps is engaged with and thus fastened to the recess of the storage bin body to not only allow the right lateral lid to be fixed in place but also allow the right lateral lids to be smoothly opened or shut even when storage bin bodies are stacked up. 3. The versatile storage bin structure of claim 1, wherein the storage bin body further comprises an upper lid for covering the upper opening of the storage bin body precisely. 4. The versatile storage bin structure of claim 3, wherein the right lateral lid further comprises a fastener pivotally mounted at the raised portion at the top portion of the right lateral lid, and wherein when rotated and lifted, the fastener engages with and presses against the upper lid and the storage bin body, the right lateral lid to thereby couple the storage bin body and the upper lid together. 5. The versatile storage bin structure of claim 4, wherein the storage bin body further comprises a further fastener disposed pivotally at a top portion of the left lateral face of the storage bin body, and wherein when rotated and lifted, the further fastener engages with and presses against the upper lid and the storage bin body to thereby couple the storage bin body and the upper lid together. 6. The versatile storage bin structure of claim 4, wherein a rib is disposed on a top side of the upper lid such that, when the storage bin bodies are stacked up, the rib not only fastens but also elevates the storage bin body above to allow the first and second fasteners to be smoothly disengaged or engaged. 7. The versatile storage bin structure of claim 6, wherein concave portions are disposed on engagement surfaces of the first and second fasteners, respectively, whereas a raised portion corresponding in position to each of the concave portions of the first and second fasteners is disposed on the upper lid to thereby allow the concave portions to engage with and press against the raised portions as soon as the first and second fasteners engage with and press against the upper lid.
