Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a tool box, and more particularly to a stackable tool box system. Background Art
[0002] Tool boxes are often used to store various tools. Sometimes multiple tool boxes are needed, so they are often stacked to make full use of space and reduce floor space. However, tool boxes are prone to tipping over when stacked, and stacked tool boxes are not easy to transport if they are not locked together. Based on this, tool boxes in sets are usually provided with interlocking structures so that when multiple tool boxes are stacked, they can be locked together to form a whole, so as to prevent the stacked tool boxes from separating and falling, and enhance the stability between the stacked tool boxes.
[0003] However, currently on the market, most of the interlocking structures are separate from the self-locking structure of the tool box itself. Therefore, the two locking structures have high requirements for matching accuracy, are relatively complex in structure, and are also complex in operation. Therefore, a stackable tool box system with a simple structure and easy operation is needed.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new tool box system to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0034] When the second tool box 200 is stacked on the first tool box 100 in the longitudinal direction, the first locking member 1 and the second locking member 2 are arranged in the transverse direction, and the transverse direction intersects the longitudinal direction. The first latch 13 of the first tool box 100 can simultaneously engage the first locking member 1 of the first upper cover 12 and the second locking member 2 of the second base 21, so that the first tool box 100 and the second tool box 200 are locked to each other.
[0035] In this embodiment, after the second tool box 200 is stacked on the first tool box 100, the second locking piece 2 of the second tool box 200 and the first locking piece 1 of the first tool box 100 are located on the same straight line. Therefore, the first latch 13 of the first tool box 100 can engage with the second locking piece 2 of the second tool box 200 while engaging with the first locking piece 1, so as to achieve self-locking of the first tool box 100 and interlocking with the second tool box 200 at the same time.
[0036] Preferably, in the present application, the vertical direction is the longitudinal direction, and the horizontal direction is the transverse direction.
[0037] Specifically, the first upper cover 12 in the first tool box 100 further includes an upper surface 120 and a first receiving portion 121 that is recessed inwardly from the upper surface 120 toward the first base 11 .
[0038] When the second tool box 200 is stacked on the first tool box 100, the second locking piece 2 of the second tool box 200 is placed in the first receiving portion 121 of the first tool box 100, so that the second locking piece 2 of the second tool box 200 and the first locking piece 1 of the first tool box 100 are located on the same straight line, so that the first latch 13 of the first tool box 100 can simultaneously engage the first locking piece 1 of the first upper cover 12 and the second locking piece 2 of the second base 21, so that the first tool box 100 and the second tool box 200 are locked to each other.
[0039] The first latch 13 of the first tool box 100 can pivot between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the unlocked position, the first upper cover 12 can be opened relative to the first base 11; in the locked position, the first upper cover 12 and the first base 11 are closed and locked to achieve self-locking, and the second tool box 200 can also be locked to the first tool box 100 to achieve interlocking.

Therefore, the user can achieve self-locking and interlocking of the tool boxes with one action, the locking structure is simpler, the matching accuracy requirement is not high, the locking force is better, and the locking method is more convenient, fast and efficient.
[0041] Specific, combined Figure 3 As shown, the first receiving portion 121 of the first tool box 100 is recessed from the upper surface 120 of the first upper cover 12 toward the first base 11 to form a groove. The groove is arranged on both sides of the first locking member 1. In the longitudinal direction, the first locking member 1 is located higher than the bottom surface of the groove.
[0042] The second base 21 of the second tool box 200 includes a lower surface, and the second locking member 2 is configured as legs 21, 22 extending outward from the lower surface 210 of the second base 21, and the legs 21, 22 can be inserted into the groove. Two legs 21, 22 are provided corresponding to the groove. When the second tool box 200 is stacked on the first tool box 100, the two legs 21, 22 of the second tool box 200 are respectively placed in the two grooves of the first tool box 100, and the two legs 21, 22 are flush with the first locking member 1 in the longitudinal direction.
[0043] The first latch 13 of the first tool box 100 includes a buckle 131 engaged with the first locking piece 1, and the length of the buckle 131 is greater than the length of the first locking piece 1, so that the buckle 131 of the first latch 13 can engage with the two legs 21 and 22 extending into the first accommodating portion 121, that is, the first latch 13 simultaneously engages with the first locking piece 1 on the tool box and the second locking piece 2 of another tool box stacked on the tool box, so as to simultaneously lock the base and the upper cover of the tool box, and the mutual locking between the two stacked tool boxes.
[0044] Preferably, in order to further increase the stability of the two stacked tool boxes. Figure 4 As shown, the second base 21 of the second tool box 200 is further provided with a matching portion 212, and the matching portion 212 is arranged opposite to the second locking member 2. That is, the second locking member 2 is arranged on one end surface of the second base 21, and the matching portion 212 is arranged on the other end surface of the second base 21 opposite to the end surface thereof. The matching portion 212 is also formed by extending outward from the lower surface 210 of the second base 21.
[0045] The first upper cover 12 of the first tool box 100 is further provided with a second receiving portion 122. The second receiving portion 122 is also formed by being recessed inward from the upper surface 120 of the first upper cover 12.
