[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the described embodiment, a side-mounted equipment box includes a box body 1 for storing carried items;

[0044] The top of the box door 2 is hinged to the box body 1 to provide waterproof protection for the items inside;

[0045] A sealing waterproof strip 3, which is detachably connected to the opening of the box body 1 and forms a drainage groove 4 between the sealing waterproof strip 3 and the box body 1;

[0046] The flow guiding structure 5 is located on the box body 1 and is arranged at the connection with the box door 2 .

[0047] The box body 1 can be installed on both sides of the pickup truck gantry. The opening of the box body 1 is inclined. The outer plate of the box body 1 is long at the bottom and short at the top, which increases the internal storage space, is convenient for storing items, plays the role of storing items, and is convenient for opening and closing the box door 2. On rainy days, the sealing waterproof strip 3 can improve the waterproof performance between the box door 2 and the box body 1, and when the box door 2 is opened, the water flow at the hinge can be blocked so that it cannot enter the inside of the box body 1, but is discharged downward through the drainage groove 4 until it flows out of the bottom of the sealing waterproof strip 3. The sealing waterproof strip 3 can not only be waterproof when the box body 1 is closed, but also guide the water flow when the box 1 is opened and closed to play a waterproof role;

[0048] The applicant discovered in actual use of the existing equipment box that when the box door 2 is opened, rainwater will flow to the bottom of the box door 2 through the hinge, causing rainwater to drip from the inner bottom of the box body 1, and the dripping rainwater will directly enter the interior of the box body 1. Therefore, a diversion structure 5 is provided at the connection of the box body 1. The diversion structure 5 will divert the rainwater at the hinge to both sides, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the box body 1.

[0049] It should be noted that this embodiment only takes the box 1 installed on the gantry as an example. Of course, this box 1 can be used to store other outdoor items and be connected and fixedly installed with other structures, such as mounting racks, sailboats, outdoor suitcases, motorcycle boxes, etc., in environments and locations that come into contact with water.

[0050] Please pay attention to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The sealing waterproof strip 3 includes a plug-in end 31 and a water-blocking end 32. The plug-in end 31 is provided with snap-in protrusions 33 on both sides. A water-guiding angle 34 is provided between the outer side of the water-blocking end 32 and the box body 1. A concave card groove 14 is provided at the opening of the box body 1 to match the plug-in end 31.

[0051] In this embodiment, the sealing waterproof strip 3 is rectangular in shape and can be snap-fitted with the concave slot 14 of the door 2. During installation, the plug-in end 31 is pressed into the concave slot 14. A groove matching the snap-fit ​​protrusion 33 is provided in the concave slot 14, thereby improving the fixing stability and waterproof effect of the sealing waterproof strip 3. It should be noted that the sealing waterproof strip 3 can also be in other shapes, which vary according to the shape of the concave slot 14 of the door 2.

[0052] This embodiment uses an extrusion connection method to connect the sealing waterproof strip 3 to the box door 2, which has the technical effect of facilitating maintenance and replacement. The sealing waterproof strip 3 can also be connected to the box door 2 by other methods, such as bonding, screw connection, etc., which are all conventional technologies adopted by people in this field and are also within the protection scope of this application.

[0053] The water guide angle 34 mentioned in this embodiment refers to the water retaining end 32 tilting outward with a preset arc, so that the water retaining end 32 and the box body 1 will form a water flow groove, and if rainwater flows to the sealing waterproof strip 3, it will flow downward along the water flow groove until it flows to the bottom of the box body 1

[0054] Please pay attention to Figure 6 A cavity 35 is provided inside the water retaining end 32 and the plug-in end 31 .

[0055] The provision of the cavity 35 can save materials and reduce the overall weight. Moreover, since the present embodiment adopts extrusion connection, the hollow part can be deformed, which is convenient for installation and filling the gap, thereby playing a sealing role.

[0056] Please pay attention to Figure 3 The diversion structure 5 includes a water diversion groove 51, and a plurality of connecting shaft seats 52 are arranged in the water diversion groove 51. In the present embodiment, the water diversion groove 51 can divert rainwater from the hinged part to both sides, and the excess rainwater will flow outward through the water diversion grooves 51 on both sides. If the water diversion groove 51 is not provided, if there is too much rainwater, part of the water flow will overflow to the sealing waterproof strip 3. Although the sealing waterproof strip 3 is provided with a water diversion angle 34, if the water flow is too fast, it will also overflow from the inside of the box body 1. In addition, part of the water will flow to the inside of the box cover, and then drip down from the inside of the box cover, causing the inside of the box body 1 to be damp. Therefore, the water diversion groove 51 is provided to divert most of the rainwater to both sides.

[0057] Please pay attention to Figure 3 A first flow guide groove 53 is provided at the top of the connecting shaft seat 52 , and a second flow guide groove 54 is provided at the bottom of the connecting shaft seat 52 .

[0058] The first guide groove can divert rainwater to both sides when the box door 2 is opened, preventing water from flowing directly from the front and reducing the occurrence of rainwater entering the box body 1. The second guide groove can guide rainwater to both sides to avoid water accumulation. When the box door 2 is opened and it rains outside, rainwater will be guided to both sides by the first guide groove on the top and enter the water diversion groove 51. The second guide groove 54 at the root will continue to guide the water in the water diversion groove 51, thereby diverting a large amount of water at the hinge through the water diversion groove 51.

[0059] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 A rotating shaft 21 is provided on the box door 2, and the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the connecting rotating shaft seat 52. A water collecting strip 22 is provided at the rotating shaft 21, and both ends of the water collecting strip 22 extend outward along the bottom of the box door 2.

[0060] The applicant has found in actual use that when the door 2 of the traditional equipment box is opened, the door 2 is roughly parallel to the ground. If rain continues to fall from the top, the hinge cannot divert the rain in time. The rain will continue to flow to the bottom of the door 2 through the hinge of the door 2, and finally drip vertically downward into the box body 1. Therefore, the present embodiment is provided with a water collecting strip 22, please pay special attention to it. Figure 7 Due to the effect of surface tension, rainwater will drip along the water collecting strip 22. The rainwater in the middle will directly drip vertically into the water guiding angle 34 at the bottom. The rainwater on both sides will also flow along the water collecting strip 22 and finally drip downward from the end. It will also directly drip into the water guiding angle 34 on both sides, further preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the box body 1.

[0061] Please pay attention to Figure 4 Gas struts 11 are connected to both sides of the box body 1, and the telescopic shaft of the gas struts 11 is connected to a coupling 13 through a rotating shaft 12. The coupling 13 is detachably connected to the inner side of the door 2. The gas struts 11 provide a self-locking force for the door when the door 2 is opened or closed.

[0062] The gas strut 11 of the device is connected to the door 2 at a preset angle. When the door 2 is closed, Figure 4 On the left side, after the rotating shaft 12 is at the lowest position, the gas strut 11 will exert a locking force on the door 2. When the door 2 is opened, refer to Figure 4 On the right side, after the rotating shaft 12 is at the lowest top, the gas strut 11 will provide a lifting force to the door 2, that is, the present design facilitates the closing of the door 2 and the lifting of the door 2 with less effort.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7The box door 2 is symmetrically provided with a switch handle 6, the inner side of the switch handle 6 matches the box body 1, the box body 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs 7 on the outside and inside, the box body 1 is provided with mounting threaded holes 8 on the top and bottom, the reinforcing ribs 7 can improve the crushing resistance of the overall box door 2, the mounting threaded holes 8 facilitate the connection of the box body 1 with other mounting equipment, the switch handle 6 facilitates the opening and closing of the box door 2, and the present application does not limit the form of the switch handle 6.

[0064] The above-described embodiments only express a certain implementation method of the utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
