Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a tool box which can be opened on both sides and the box cover can be separated from the box body, belonging to the technical field of manual tool boxes. Background Art

[0002] Existing toolboxes are generally flipped to one side to open, that is, the front cover of the box is connected to the box body by a lock, and the rear cover of the box is connected to the box body by a hinge. The lock is opened to flip the cover backward to open the toolbox. However, in actual work, if a person who needs to use tools faces the side of the toolbox that cannot be opened, he needs to turn the toolbox or run to the side of the toolbox that can be opened, which is not very convenient. Especially for those who work in a fixed position for a long time, it is even more inconvenient to encounter this situation. In addition, the cover and the box body of the existing toolbox are often inseparable, which makes it inconvenient to clean the toolbox. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to enable the box cover of the tool box to be opened from both sides of the tool box and the box cover to be separated from the box body.

[0004] The technical solution proposed by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a double-sided flip-up and cover-off tool box, comprising a box body and a box cover, wherein first hinged hole seats are respectively arranged on both sides of the box body, and two sets of movable mechanisms for relative flipping, separation and closing between the box cover and the box body are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the box cover, and the movable mechanism has a first pin shaft that can be inserted into and detached from the hole of the first hinged hole seat, when the first pin shaft of one set of the movable mechanisms is inserted into the hole of the first hinged hole seat on one side of the box body and the first pin shaft of the other set of the movable mechanisms is detached from the hole of the first hinged hole seat on the other side of the box body, the box cover and the box body are in a first state of relative flipping; when the first pin shafts of the two sets of the movable mechanisms are both detached from the holes of the first hinged hole seats on both sides of the box body, the box cover and the box body are in a second state of relative separation; when the first pin shafts of the two sets of the movable mechanisms are respectively inserted into the holes of the first hinged hole seats on both sides of the box body, the box cover and the box body are in a third state of relative closing.

[0005] Furthermore, the first state includes a first flipping state in which one side of the box cover is hinged to one side of the box body and the other side of the box cover is separated from the other side of the box body, and a second flipping state in which the other side of the box cover is hinged to the other side of the box body and one side of the box cover is separated from the one side of the box body.

[0006] The lockhole that is formed on the two ends of the sled is formed on the top of the two ends of the sled, and the lockhole that is formed on the two ends of the sled is formed on the top of the two ends of the sled.

[0007] When the pressing block on one side or the other side of the box cover is pressed down, the pressing block moves obliquely downward along the oblique sides of the wedge-shaped contact toward the outer ends of the two sliders respectively, and the two sliders overcome the spring force and slide toward each other, the clamping head falls from the high step groove into the low step groove along the side of the sliding slider and clamps the slider under the force of the torsion spring, and the first pin shafts at both ends of the slider on one side or the other side of the box cover are disengaged from the holes of the first hinge hole seat on one side of the box body, at this time, one side of the box cover is separated from the box body and the other side of the box cover is hinged to the box body, or the other side of the box cover is separated from the box body and one side of the box cover is hinged to the box body, and the box cover and the box body are in the first state of relative flipping;

[0008] When the pressing blocks on both sides of the box cover are pressed down at the same time, the first pins of the sliders on both sides of the box cover are respectively separated from the holes of the first hinge holes on both sides of the box body, and the box cover and the box body are in the second state of being relatively separated;

[0009] When the box cover is flipped toward the box body and contacts the box body, the top block of the box body abuts against the other side of the limit plate in the horizontal direction and overcomes the force of the torsion spring to flip the limit plate with the horizontal direction as the axis, and the two sliders move in opposite directions to each other under the force of the spring, and the clamping head moves from the low step groove to the high step groove along the side of the sliding slider and clamps the slider, and the box cover and the box body are in the third state of relative closing.

[0010] In addition, it is also possible that: grooves are formed on the outer surfaces of both sides of the box cover, pin holes are provided on the inner side walls of the grooves, a rotating pressure cover is provided on the pressure block, and third pin shafts are provided at both ends of the rotating pressure cover, and the third pin shaft is hinged to the pin hole; a third hinge hole seat is also provided on the inner surface of the box cover, and the first pin shaft also passes through the hole of the third hinge hole seat at the same time; a cover box is also provided on the box cover around the pressure block, and a through hole is opened in the middle of the cover box for allowing the pressure block to pass through.

[0011] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that: due to the two sets of movable mechanisms symmetrically arranged on both sides of the box cover, and the first pin shafts of the movable mechanisms are respectively inserted into or separated from the hinge holes on one side or both sides of the box body on one side or both sides (any combination can be selected), the box cover can be turned around the box body to form three states of flipping, separation and closing, so that the box cover of the tool box can be opened from both sides of the tool box and the box cover can be separated from the box body, thereby greatly facilitating the use and maintenance of the tool box.

Figure 1 , 2 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the other two side walls of the box body 1 are provided with reversible handles 100. Figure 5 and 6 As shown, two sets of movable mechanisms 200 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the box cover 2 for relative flipping, separation and closing (fastening) between the box cover 2 and the box body 1. The movable mechanism 200 has a first pin 4 (such as a first pin 4) that can be inserted into and out of the hole of the first hinge hole seat 3. Figure 6 , 7 ).like Figure 2 and 4 As shown, both sides of the box body 1 are provided with top blocks 5. Figure 6 As shown, the inner surfaces of both sides of the box cover 2 are provided with second hinge holes 6. Figure 5 , 6 As shown in FIG. 7 , a movable mechanism 200 includes a slide groove 7 provided on the box cover 2, two horizontally spaced sliders 8 that slide in cooperation with the slide groove 7, a pressing block 9 that passes through the through hole of the slide groove 7 and forms a wedge-shaped contact with the slider 8, and a stop plate 10 that is located on one side of the slider 8 and is hinged to the second hinge hole seat 6. Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, one side of the slider 8 is formed with two high and low step grooves 141, 14 forming a continuous high and low step shape. Figure 5 , 6 As shown in FIG. 7 , the first pin 4 is fixed to both ends of the slider 8 , and blind holes are provided at the opposite ends of the two sliders 8 , and a spring 12 is provided between the opposite ends of the two sliders 8 , and both ends of the spring 12 are respectively inserted into the blind holes. Figure 5, 6 As shown in FIG. 7 , the limit plate 10 is provided with a horizontal hollow through hole and a second pin 11 is installed in the horizontal hollow through hole. The second pin 11 is hinged with the hole of the second hinge hole seat 6. A torsion spring 13 is installed on the second pin 11. A clamp 15 is provided along one side of the horizontal direction of the limit plate 10. The clamp 15 forms friction contact with the high and low step grooves 141 and 14 under the force of the torsion spring 13. Figure 7 As shown, the oblique edge of the pressing block 9 and the sliding block 8 forming a wedge-shaped contact faces the outer end of the sliding block 8 (ie, obliquely faces outward).

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, a cover box 16 is arranged around the pressing block 9 on the box cover 2 , and a through hole 17 is opened in the middle of the cover box 16 for allowing the pressing block 9 to pass through, so as to fix the pressing block 9 .

[0028] The use status of the double-sided flip cover removal tool box of this embodiment is as follows:

[0029] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, when the box cover needs to be flipped open from one side, the pressing block 9 on one side of the box cover 2 is pressed down, and the pressing block 9 moves obliquely downward along the oblique edges that form a wedge-shaped contact with the slider 8 to the outer ends of the two sliders 8, so that the two sliders 8 overcome the force of the spring 12 and slide toward each other, and the clamping head 15 falls from the high step groove 141 into the low step groove 14 along the side surface 8 of the sliding slider and clamps the slider 8 under the force of the torsion spring 13. At this time, the first pin shaft 4 of the slider 8 on one side or the other side of the box cover 2 is separated from the first hinge hole seat 3 on one side or the other side of the box body 1. Hole, at this time, one side of the box cover 2 is separated from the box body 1 while the other side of the box cover 2 is still hinged to the box body 1, or the other side of the box cover 2 is separated from the box body 1 while one side of the box cover 2 is hinged to the box body 1, the box cover 2 and the box body 1 are in a first state of relative flipping, the first state includes two states of the first flipping state in which one side of the box cover 2 is hinged to the box body 1 and the other side is separated from the box body 1 or the second flipping state in which the other side of the box cover 2 is hinged to the box body 1 and one side is separated from the box body 1, that is, the box cover 2 is divided into two flipping states of flipping backward or flipping forward.

[0030] When the pressing blocks 9 on both sides of the box cover 2 are pressed down at the same time, the first pin shafts 4 of the sliders 8 on both sides of the box cover 2 are respectively separated from the holes of the first hinge holes on both sides of the box body 1. At this time, the box cover 2 and the box body 2 are in a second state of relative separation.

[0031] When the box cover 2 is flipped toward the box body 1 and contacts the box body 1 (i.e., when the box cover 2 is closed), the top block 5 of the box body 1 abuts against the other side of the limit plate 10 along the horizontal direction and overcomes the force of the torsion spring 13 to make the limit plate 10 flip around the horizontal direction, and the clamping head 15 leaves the low step groove 14, and the two sliders 8 move in opposite directions to each other under the force of the spring 12, and the clamping head 15 moves from the low step groove 14 to the high step groove 141 along the side of the sliding slider 8 and clamps the slider 8.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] The double-sided flip cover and cover removal tool box of this embodiment is as follows: Fig. 9 , 10 , 11 and 12 are improvements based on Example 1, except that they are the same as Example 1, except that:
