Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle toolbox technology, and in particular to a pickup truck toolbox with an integrated layout with the cargo box. Background Technology

[0002] A pickup truck is a light-duty truck with an open cargo bed behind the cab, the cargo bed's side panels being integrated with the cab. It's a special type of vehicle that can be used for both passenger and cargo transport, resembling a car in the front and equipped with a cargo bed in the rear.

[0003] Pickup trucks are often used as work vehicles in various industries, such as construction, power maintenance, and gardening. Based on the requirements of these usage scenarios, pickup trucks often need to carry commonly used tools for construction, power maintenance, and gardening. These tools are usually stored in a toolbox, which is placed on the pickup truck's cargo bed.

[0004] Currently, most pickup truck toolboxes are aftermarket modifications. This is achieved by bending and welding steel plates to form a toolbox, which is then assembled into the cargo box through drilling holes, grinding, and welding.

[0005] This method of installing toolboxes is aesthetically unappealing, affects the functionality of the cargo box, hinders cargo loading and toolbox maintenance, and provides insufficient protection for tools. Small items or longitudinally arranged strips of goods may impact the contents of the toolbox during sudden braking, bumps, or vehicle accidents. Furthermore, the installation process damages the original coating of the cargo box, reducing its corrosion resistance and compromising its structural integrity, thus lowering its overall strength.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a pickup truck toolbox with an integrated layout that is compatible with the entire vehicle, which has become an important technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This application provides a pickup truck toolbox with an integrated layout into the cargo box, aiming to solve the problem that most existing pickup truck toolboxes are aftermarket modifications.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this application discloses a pickup truck toolbox with an integrated layout with the cargo box, including a cargo box 1, and further including: a toolbox rear partition 31, which is detachably installed on the cargo box 1; a toolbox cover 21, which is rotatably installed on the cargo box 1, the toolbox cover 21, the cargo box 1, and the toolbox rear partition 31 forming a pickup truck toolbox; an electrophoretic layer, which is provided on the cargo box 1, the toolbox rear partition 31, and the toolbox cover 21; a paint layer, which is provided on the cargo box 1 and the toolbox rear partition 31; and a wear-resistant layer, which is provided on the cargo box 1 and the toolbox rear partition 31.

[0021] The cargo box 1 is the basic structure of the pickup truck toolbox, and all other structures on the pickup truck toolbox are directly or indirectly connected to the cargo box 1. The cargo box 1 includes two side surfaces, a bottom surface, and a longitudinal surface near the driver's cab. The pickup truck toolbox is formed by enclosing a portion of the side surfaces, bottom surface, and longitudinal surface of the cargo box 1, the rear partition 31 of the toolbox, and the toolbox cover 21. By making full use of the structural design of the cargo box 1, the pickup truck toolbox has a simple structure and low cost.

[0022] Preferably, multiple partitions are installed vertically at intervals on the rear partition 31 of the toolbox and the longitudinal surface of the cargo box 1. The multiple partitions are used to form multiple storage spaces, which facilitates the storage of different tools in layers and makes it easier for users to store or find the corresponding tools.

[0023] The toolbox rear partition 31 is assembled at the welding workshop station and is detachably fixed to a designated position at the front of the cargo box 1 using fasteners. After assembly, it undergoes the vehicle painting process along with the cargo box 1, including electrophoresis, spray painting, and wear-resistant layer spraying. The toolbox cover 21 has an electrophoretic coating and a black orange peel powder coating. The toolbox cover 21 is assembled at the final assembly workshop station and is hinged to a designated position at the upper front of the cargo box 1. It can be rotated up and down to open and close, and its structure is sturdy and durable.

[0024] Understandably, during the pickup truck's production phase and after the installation of the pickup toolbox, the rear partition 31 of the toolbox undergoes a painting process along with the entire vehicle. This forms an electrophoretic layer, paint layer, and wear-resistant layer on the toolbox rear partition 31 that are compatible with the entire vehicle, improving the overall harmony of the vehicle after the pickup toolbox is installed. Furthermore, the painting process is performed after the toolbox rear partition 31 is assembled, ensuring that the assembly of the toolbox rear partition 31 does not affect or damage the coating of the cargo box 1, thus ensuring that the cargo box 1 and the toolbox rear partition 31 have sufficient corrosion resistance. The toolbox cover 21 undergoes black orange peel powder coating, providing the toolbox cover 21 with excellent coverage, a good feel, superior durability, and a stable and professional visual appearance.

[0025] Specifically, a pickup truck toolbox is formed by enclosing part of the side, bottom, and longitudinal surfaces of the cargo box 1, the rear toolbox partition 31, and the toolbox cover 21. By fully utilizing the structure of the cargo box 1, the pickup truck toolbox boasts a simple structure and low cost. The toolbox cover 21 and rear toolbox partition 31 are added during the pickup truck's production phase and painted along with the vehicle, resulting in a harmonious overall appearance, compatibility with various body colors, an attractive design, strong corrosion resistance, convenient toolbox maintenance, high practicality, and a robust and durable structure. The pickup truck toolbox provided in this application offers good safety protection, meets national regulatory requirements, and is easily manufactured.

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: a bottom mounting plate 36, which is provided at the bottom of the toolbox rear partition 31, and the bottom mounting plate 36 is integrally formed with the toolbox rear partition 31; a plurality of first bottom mounting holes, which are spaced apart on the bottom mounting plate 36; a plurality of second bottom mounting holes 114, which are spaced apart on the cargo box 1; and a support sleeve 37, which is provided between the bottom mounting plate 36 and the cargo box 1. Bolts pass through the first bottom mounting holes, the support sleeve 37, and the second bottom mounting holes 114, and a locking nut is screwed on the part of the bolt that protrudes from the bottom surface of the cargo box 1, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the toolbox rear partition 31 and the cargo box 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, a receiving hole coaxial with the second bottom mounting hole 114 is provided on the bottom surface of the cargo box 1. The receiving hole is used to accommodate the support sleeve 37, which is made of nylon. During pickup truck operation, the support sleeve 37 can absorb and buffer the vibration and impact loads on the toolbox rear partition 31, preventing these energies from being directly transmitted to the cargo box 1. Furthermore, by preventing direct hard contact between the toolbox rear partition 31 and the cargo box 1, the noise and abnormal sounds generated by the toolbox rear partition 31 during pickup truck operation are effectively reduced. This helps to improve the stability and comfort of pickup truck operation.

[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the toolbox further includes: a mounting bracket 35, with mounting brackets 35 provided on both sides of the toolbox rear partition 31; a first side mounting hole 33, with the mounting bracket 35 having a first side mounting hole 33; a second side mounting hole 34, with the mounting bracket 35 having a second side mounting hole 34, the mounting bracket 35 including at least two perpendicular mounting surfaces, the first side mounting hole 33 being provided on one mounting surface and the second side mounting hole 34 being provided on the other mounting surface; a third side mounting hole 32, with the toolbox rear partition 31 having a third side mounting hole 32, a bolt being screwed into the third side mounting hole 32 and the first side mounting hole 33, with the end of the bolt abutting against the toolbox rear partition 31, thereby connecting the mounting bracket 35 to the toolbox rear partition 31; and a fourth side mounting hole 113, with the cargo box 1 having a fourth side mounting hole 113. A bolt is screwed into the fourth side mounting hole 113 and the second side mounting hole 34, with the end of the bolt abutting against the mounting bracket 35, thereby connecting the mounting bracket 35 to the cargo box 1.

[0029] Understandably, the mounting bracket 35 with its L-shaped connection structure effectively decomposes the single lateral fastening force into supporting forces in two mutually perpendicular directions, forming a stable triangular support.

[0030] The mounting bracket 35 forms a connection between the cargo box 1 and the toolbox rear partition 31, enhancing the connection strength between the mounting bracket 35 and the toolbox rear partition 31. At the same time, it also enhances the installation rigidity and impact resistance of the rear partition 31, effectively withstanding the impact load generated by the cargo at the rear of the cargo box during sudden braking or bumps, ensuring the reliability of the entire toolbox structure.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the toolbox further includes: a hinge bolt 5, which passes through the toolbox cover 21 and the cargo box 1; a hinge plate is detachably connected to the toolbox cover by bolts, and the hinge plate and the cargo box 1 are provided with hinge holes 112 for the hinge bolt 5 to pass through; a hinge bushing 4 is provided between the toolbox cover 21 and the cargo box 1. The hinge bushing 4 is screwed onto the hinge bolt 5, and part of the hinge bushing 4 extends into the hinge hole 112 on the toolbox cover. The outer diameter of the hinge bushing 4 is adapted to the inner diameter of the hinge hole 112 on the toolbox cover. The hinge bushing 4 ensures that the hinge bolt 5 and the hinge hole 112 on the toolbox cover maintain the correct relative position and concentricity, preventing the hinge bolt 5 from shifting or shaking during the opening or closing of the toolbox cover.

[0032] Understandably, both sides of the toolbox cover are provided with hinge shaft bolts 5 and hinge shaft bushings 4, and both sides of the cargo box 1 are also provided with corresponding hinge holes 112. The toolbox cover and the cargo box 1 are hinged through the hinge shaft bolts 5, hinge shaft bushings 4 and hinge holes 112 on the cargo box 1, so that the toolbox cover can be opened or closed by rotating.

[0033] In this embodiment, a lock nut is screwed onto the portion of the hinge bolt 5 extending out of the hinge hole 112 on the cargo box 1, and the lock nut abuts against the cargo box 1. The lock nut improves the reliability of the hinge bolt 5 and prevents it from coming out of the hinge hole 112 on the cargo box 1 or toolbox cover. Both the hinge bolt 5 and the hinge bushing 4 are coated with grease.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a rubber buffer block 24 is also included, which is disposed between the toolbox cover 21 and the toolbox rear partition 31. When the vehicle toolbox cover is closed, and during driving, the rubber buffer block 24 can play a buffering role, eliminating abnormal noise and scratching the paint, and improving the user experience.

[0035] In this embodiment, the toolbox cover 21 is provided with corresponding buffer block connection holes. The rubber buffer block 24 includes a small-diameter portion, a connecting neck, and a large-diameter portion. The outer diameter of the connecting neck is smaller than that of the small-diameter portion, and the outer diameter of the small-diameter portion is smaller than that of the large-diameter portion. The small-diameter portion of the rubber buffer block 24 deforms to engage with the buffer block connection holes on the toolbox cover 21, thereby forming a connection between the rubber buffer block 24 and the toolbox cover 21. The above connection method is simple and reliable, and is not easy to fall off during actual use. Compared with adhesive and other connection methods, the above connection method has high reliability under long-term vibration loads.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a locking device 25 is also included. The locking device 25 is provided on the toolbox cover 21 and is used to lock the angle of the toolbox cover 21 to close the pickup truck toolbox. The locking device 25 is a mature prior art. This embodiment provides an implementable locking device 25 structure, but it is not a specific limitation on the structure of the locking device 25. The locking device 25 includes a lock body 253, which is rotatably disposed on the toolbox cover 21. One end of the lock body 253 is provided with a first locking hook 251. In the locked state, the first locking hook 251 abuts against the rear partition 31 of the toolbox. The other end of the lock body 253 is rotatably provided with a second locking hook 252. The toolbox cover plate 21 is provided with a locking platform. When the second locking hook 252 rotates to a preset angle range, it will abut against the locking platform. When the second locking hook 252 rotates out of the preset angle range, the second locking hook 252 will not abut against the locking platform. At this time, the lock body 253 can rotate. When the lock body 253 rotates to the unlocked state, the first locking hook 251 will no longer abut against the toolbox rear partition 31.

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: a gas strut 23, one end of which is rotatably connected to the toolbox cover 21, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the cargo box 1. The gas strut 23 includes a piston cylinder and a piston rod movably disposed within the piston cylinder. The piston rod is rotatably connected to the cargo box 1, and the piston cylinder is rotatably connected to the toolbox cover 21. The piston cylinder includes a rod chamber and a rodless chamber, and is filled with high-pressure nitrogen. When the toolbox cover is closed, the piston rod is pushed into the piston cylinder, causing the volume of the rodless chamber to decrease and the volume of the rod chamber to increase. The pressure in the rodless chamber is significantly higher than that in the rod chamber, causing the piston rod to tend to be pushed out. However, due to the action of the locking device 25, the toolbox cover cannot be pushed open. When the locking device 25 is in the unlocked state, the piston rod is pushed out under the action of the aforementioned pressure difference and remains stable when the pressure difference cannot push the toolbox cover, so that the toolbox cover is at a preset opening angle.

[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: a ball head bolt 22, through which the gas strut 23 is rotatably connected to the toolbox cover 21, and through which the gas strut 23 is rotatably connected to the cargo box 1. The ball head bolt 22 includes a ball head and a screw. The piston cylinder and piston rod are both provided with a ball seat adapted to the ball head and a through hole for the screw to pass through. The screw passes through the through hole and connects to the toolbox cover 21 or the cargo box 1, while the ball head abuts against the ball seat. At this time, the ball seat can rotate relative to the ball head, allowing the gas strut 23 to swing freely in any direction around the ball head within an allowable conical angle. The large contact surface between the ball head and the ball seat effectively reduces the probability of the gas strut 23 jamming under the action of resistance.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cargo box 1 is provided with a mounting platform connected by bolts. The mounting platform is provided with bolt mounting holes 111 for connecting ball head bolts 22, thereby forming a connection between the ball head bolts 22 and the cargo box 1.
