[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of a maintenance toolbox according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the box body according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, this is another structural schematic diagram of the box body according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This invention provides a maintenance toolbox, comprising: a flexible base 1 and several box bodies 2.

[0024] Each housing is inserted into a flexible base.

[0025] The box includes a first storage section 21 and a second storage section 22, which are connected by a flexible connecting piece 23. Each of the first and second storage sections is provided with a storage cavity 24.

[0026] The housing is provided with a plug rod 25, the flexible seat is provided with a connector 12, the connector is provided with a slot 121 adapted to the plug rod, the plug rod is inserted into the slot and connected to the connector through a first locking component.

[0027] The housing is provided with a connecting rod 26 and a connecting groove 27 adapted to the connecting rod. The connecting rod and the plug rod are arranged in parallel. Two adjacent housings are positioned by the connecting rod and the connecting groove, and the connecting rod and the connecting groove are connected by a second locking assembly.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 The maintenance toolbox also includes: a flexible handle 11. The flexible handle is located on the upper surface of the flexible base.

[0029] Furthermore, each enclosure is combined using flexible bases to accommodate various maintenance and repair scenarios.

[0030] Because the power distribution network maintenance toolbox adopts a modular design, operators can select different boxes according to different application scenarios, and then use flexible bases to combine the different boxes together, thus forming a power distribution network maintenance toolbox suitable for several operation and maintenance emergency repair scenarios. These operation and maintenance emergency repair scenarios include, but are not limited to, 10 kV operation and maintenance emergency repair scenarios, 0.4 kV operation and maintenance emergency repair scenarios, and medium and low voltage operation and maintenance emergency repair scenarios.

[0031] Because the enclosure is a single unit, different sized enclosures can be designed to accommodate different tool sizes, and different types of enclosures can be selected based on different maintenance and emergency repair scenarios. Therefore, the enclosure can be equipped with general-purpose tools (such as screwdrivers, screws of different sizes, voltage testers, etc.), as well as medical supplies, and even binoculars, mountaineering equipment, etc. Furthermore, different enclosures can contain the same type of tools or similar types of tools.

[0032] It should be noted that when workers arrive at the target location carrying a power distribution network maintenance toolbox with multiple compartments, the compartments can be disassembled so that each compartment can be opened for quick and easy access to tools. Furthermore, after use, workers should return all tools to their original compartments. If any tools are damaged or lost, new tools should be promptly replenished to ensure that the tools in the compartments are readily available for use in case of emergencies.

[0033] Adjacent boxes are positioned by connecting rods and connecting slots. The connecting rod on one box is inserted into the connecting slot of the other box to determine the relative position between the adjacent boxes. This ensures that the two boxes are accurately positioned and neatly installed when assembled, avoiding misalignment and other issues, thus achieving reliable connection and stable assembly.

[0034] Furthermore, a lock is provided between the first and second storage sections, located on the side of the box away from the flexible connecting piece. When carrying the power distribution network maintenance toolbox, the operator can easily lift the flexible handle to carry the toolbox to the target location. Upon arrival, the operator places the toolbox on the ground or another location with the flexible handle facing downwards. At this point, the lock faces upwards, allowing the operator to easily open the box and retrieve the tools inside.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, it is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the mating part of the plug-in rod and the plug adapter in an embodiment of the present invention. (Refer to...) Figure 4 The first locking assembly includes a first positioning groove 122 disposed in the connector, a first elastic positioning piece 251 disposed in the connector rod, and a first screw 252. The first positioning groove communicates with the slot, and the first screw drives the first elastic positioning piece into the first positioning groove.

[0036] Furthermore, the first elastic positioning piece includes a first fixing part 2511, a first connecting part 2512, and a first locking part 2513 arranged sequentially, with the first locking part and the first positioning groove being adapted to each other. It should be noted that the first fixing part, the first connecting part, and the first locking part are an integral structure.

[0037] Furthermore, the plug rod is provided with a first through hole and a first cavity 253 for accommodating a first elastic positioning piece. The first locking part extends out of the first cavity through the first through hole, and the first screw drives the first locking part into the first positioning groove through the first connecting part.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the connecting groove according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the connecting rod according to an embodiment of the present invention. (Refer to...) Figures 5 to 6 The second locking assembly includes a second positioning groove 271 disposed in the connecting groove, a second elastic positioning piece 261 disposed in the connecting rod, and a second screw 262. The second positioning groove communicates with the connecting groove, and the second screw drives the second elastic positioning piece into the second positioning groove.

[0039] like Figure 7 The diagram shown is a cross-sectional schematic of the second elastic connecting piece according to an embodiment of the present invention. (Refer to...) Figure 7The second elastic positioning piece includes a second fixing part 2611, a second connecting part 2612, and a second locking part 2613 arranged sequentially, with the second locking part and the second positioning groove being adapted to each other. It should be noted that the second fixing part, the second connecting part, and the second locking part are an integral structure.

[0040] Furthermore, the connecting rod is provided with a second through hole and a second cavity for accommodating the second elastic positioning piece. The second locking part extends out of the second cavity through the second through hole, and the second screw drives the second locking part into the second positioning groove through the second connecting part.

[0041] Furthermore, both the connector rod and the connecting rod have trapezoidal cross-sectional shapes. The purpose of setting the connector rod's cross-sectional shape to trapezoidal is to prevent it from disengaging from the slot along a direction perpendicular to its extension. Similarly, the purpose of setting the connecting rod's cross-sectional shape to trapezoidal is to prevent it from disengaging from the connecting groove along a direction perpendicular to its extension.

[0042] The plug-in rods and connectors can be made of metal. When the enclosure is made of metal, the connecting rods can also be made of metal. In this embodiment, the enclosure is made of aluminum alloy, and the plug-in rods and connectors are also made of aluminum alloy, which can reduce the overall weight of the power distribution network maintenance toolbox.

[0043] It should be noted that the storage cavity is equipped with positioning components for locating power distribution network maintenance tools. For example... Figure 8 As shown, it is Figure 3 A magnified view of point B in the middle. (Refer to...) Figure 8 The positioning assembly includes an elongated groove 13 for positioning a rod-shaped tool. Slider pieces 14 are provided at both ends of the elongated groove, and elastic elements are disposed between the sliders and the side walls of the elongated groove, so that the elastic elements drive the sliders to position the rod-shaped tool located within the elongated groove. By using sliders, the elongated groove can accommodate tools of different lengths.

[0044] like Figure 9 As shown, it is Figure 3 A magnified view of point A in the middle. (Refer to...) Figure 9 The positioning component includes a groove 15 for positioning circular or polygonal tools. The sidewall of the groove is provided with an arc-shaped spring 16 for positioning the circular or polygonal tool within the groove, and the spring protrudes from the sidewall of the groove towards the center of the groove. That is, the spring is not flush with the sidewall of the groove, but rather a portion extends outwards from the inside of the groove towards the center. By setting the spring, the groove can be used to position circular or polygonal tools of different sizes.

[0045] In summary, the present invention provides a maintenance toolbox. When using the power distribution network maintenance toolbox, the flexible handle allows for easy lifting of the flexible base and the toolbox itself, making it easy to carry. Since the toolbox is a single unit, different sized toolboxes can be easily designed to accommodate different tool sizes, and these different sized toolboxes can be conveniently installed on the flexible base. For different application scenarios, multiple toolboxes containing different types of tools can be combined on the flexible base to form a power distribution network maintenance toolbox adaptable to various maintenance and emergency repair scenarios. The first locking component provides a high connection strength between the toolbox and the flexible base, preventing the toolbox from easily detaching and improving its stability. The second locking component allows for stable connection between adjacent toolboxes when some toolboxes are only connected to other toolboxes, preventing them from easily detaching and ensuring the toolbox is not easily scattered during transport, further enhancing its portability.

[0046] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. For directly identical or similar parts of the various embodiments, refer to each other. Each embodiment focuses on its differences from other embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as these combinations of technical features do not contradict each other, they should be considered within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
