Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of storing tools, in particular to a stacking tool box. Background Art

[0002] A tool box is a container used to store and carry tools, usually made of metal, plastic and other materials.

[0003] In order to save space in the workplace and facilitate mobility, existing tool boxes are designed to be more convenient for stacking multiple boxes. For example, a tool box described in the patent document of Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220074670U realizes stable stacking of two boxes by cooperating with positioning protrusions provided on the box surface and positioning grooves at corresponding positions.

[0004] The existing tool boxes, such as those in the above-mentioned document, often only have lateral limitations when stacked, ensuring that the multiple stacked tool boxes will not stagger or slip relative to each other. However, when the multiple stacked tool boxes are being transported or subjected to a series of external forces such as vibration, there is a risk of collapse due to the lack of longitudinal limitations between them. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a technical solution for a stackable tool box to address the deficiencies in the prior art, which can not only achieve longitudinal limitation between a plurality of stacked box bodies by sliding insertion, but also achieve lateral limitation at the same time to prevent the stacked tool boxes from being offset or sliding against each other, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the stacked tool boxes.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A stackable tool box comprising:

[0008] A box body, used for storing items;

[0009] The box body includes a sliding plug-in structure, which is used for mutual translation and plugging to achieve longitudinal limitation when multiple box bodies are stacked up and down; a positioning groove is formed on the top of the box body, and a positioning plug is movably connected to one side of the box body. The position of the positioning plug corresponds to the positioning groove, and the positioning plug can slide up and down and can pass through the bottom of the box body. When the box bodies are stacked up and down, the positioning plug can pass through the bottom of the box body and plug into the positioning groove at the top of the lower box body to achieve lateral limitation.

[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, the box bodies can be translated and plugged in through the sliding plug-in structure to achieve longitudinal limitation between the box bodies. When the positioning plug that can slide up and down is pulled up, it will not affect the horizontal sliding plug-in between the box bodies. When the translational plug-in between the box bodies is completed and the positioning plug corresponds to the positioning groove at the top of the lower box body, the positioning plug slides downward and is inserted into the positioning groove to achieve horizontal limitation between the box bodies. By applying horizontal and vertical limitations at the same time between the stacked box bodies, the placement stability of the tool boxes after stacking can be effectively ensured.

[0011] Furthermore, a first groove is formed on one side of the box body, the positioning plug is movably embedded in the first groove, and an elastic member is provided between the positioning plug and the inner wall of the first groove, and the elastic member is used to pop the positioning plug downward so that it passes through the bottom of the box body.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning insert is connected to a pull ring structure, the pull ring structure is fixed relative to the positioning insert, and the pull ring structure can move longitudinally in the first groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a first buckle structure is provided on one side of the pull ring structure, and the positioning insert is provided with a first plug hole corresponding to the first buckle structure. The first buckle structure cooperates with the first plug hole to achieve a detachable connection between the pull ring structure and the positioning insert.

[0014] Furthermore, an independent elastic member cavity is provided in the first groove, and the elastic member is fixed in the elastic member cavity and is located between the positioning insert and the inner wall of the first groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the sliding plug-in structure includes a plurality of slider structures protruding from the bottom of the box body and a slideway structure corresponding to the slider structure and opened at the top of the box body. The top of the slideway structure is provided with a baffle structure corresponding to the position of the slider structure. The slider structure is formed with a notch corresponding to the baffle structure. When two box bodies are stacked up and down, the slider structure located in the upper box body can correspond to the slideway structure of the lower box body to achieve mutual translation, and the baffle structure can be correspondingly plugged into the notch to achieve longitudinal limitation of the two boxes.

[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0017] 1. The boxes of the utility model can have both longitudinal and lateral limits after being stacked, thus ensuring the stability of the boxes after being stacked;

[0018] 2. In the utility model, an elastic member is arranged between the positioning plug and the inner wall of the first groove, and the positioning plug can be automatically popped downward to complete the matching insertion with the positioning groove through the action of the elastic member;

[0019] 3. The positioning insert in the utility model has a detachable connecting pull ring structure, which can facilitate the user to pull the positioning insert upwards. Since the pull ring structure is detachable, it can be easily replaced after it is damaged. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] Example 1

[0039] A stackable tool box, comprising a box body 5, wherein the box body 5 comprises a storage space for storing tools and other items;

[0040] The box body 5 includes an upper cover 1 and a lower box body 2, and the upper cover 1 and the lower box body 2 are buckled together. Figures 1 to 3 As shown;

[0041] The upper cover 1 and the lower box body 2 are connected by a hinge structure 4 on one side to realize flipping and opening. Figure 2 shown.

[0042] The box body 5 includes a sliding plug-in structure, and multiple box bodies 5 can be stacked up and down to achieve longitudinal positioning between the box bodies 5 through translational plug-in of the sliding plug-in structure;

[0043] Furthermore, the sliding plug structure includes a slideway structure 12 and a slider structure 23, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown;

[0044] In this embodiment, the slideway structure 12 is formed on both sides of the top of the upper cover 1. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown;

[0045] A baffle structure 13 is formed on the top of the slideway structure 12 and corresponds to the slider structure 23. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown;

[0046] There are several slider structures 23, specifically four in this embodiment;

[0047] The slider structure 23 is formed at the bottom of the lower box body 2 and protrudes from the bottom surface of the lower box body 2. Figure 1 As shown;

[0048] The slider structure 23 is provided with a notch 24, and the opening of the notch 24 faces the sliding direction of the slider structure 23 when it is inserted into the slider structure 23. Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown;

[0049] When the boxes 5 are stacked up and down, the box 5 located on the upper side has its slider structure 23 corresponding to the slideway structure 12 of the box 5 below and slides in translation, and the baffle structure 13 formed on the top of the slideway structure 12 is correspondingly inserted into the notch 24 to achieve longitudinal positioning between the upper and lower boxes 5;

[0050] In this embodiment, the slider structure 23 can not only serve as a sliding limit component cooperating with the slideway structure 12, but also serve as a support leg of the tool box to achieve stable placement of the tool box.

[0051] A positioning groove 11 is formed at the top of the box body 5;

[0052] The positioning groove 11 is formed on the upper surface of the upper cover 1. Figure 4 As shown;

[0053] A positioning insert 3 is movably connected to one side of the box body 5, and the position of the positioning insert 3 corresponds to the positioning groove 11;

[0054] The positioning insert 3 can slide up and down and can pass through the bottom of the box body 5. When the box bodies 5 are stacked up and down, the positioning insert 3 in the upper box body 5 can pass through downward and be correspondingly inserted into the positioning groove 11 at the top of the lower box body 5, thereby realizing lateral limitation between the box bodies 5.

[0055] In this embodiment, a first groove 21 is formed on one side of the box body 5. Figure 6 As shown;

[0056] A through hole is formed at the bottom of the first groove 21 and vertically penetrates the lower box body 2;

[0057] The positioning insert 3 is movably embedded in the first groove 21. Figure 3 As shown;

[0058] The positioning plug 3 can slide up and down in the first groove 21, and one end of the positioning plug 3 is inserted in the through hole. The positioning plug 3 can slide down and pass through the through hole.

[0059] When the boxes 5 are stacked up and down, the through hole corresponds to the positioning groove 11 , and the positioning insert 3 slides downward and passes through the through hole, and can be inserted into the positioning groove 11 of the box 5 below.

[0060] Independent elastic member cavities 22 are provided on the left and right sides of the first groove 21. Figure 6 As shown;

[0061] Elastic members, specifically springs 32, are provided on both sides of the positioning insert 3. Figure 8 As shown;

[0062] Spring positioning columns 31 are provided on both sides of the positioning insert 3, and one end of the spring 32 is sleeved on the spring positioning column 31. Figure 8 As shown;

[0063] The positioning insert 3 is installed in the first groove 21, and the spring 32 is located in the elastic member cavity 22 on both sides of the first groove 21, and the spring 32 is between the inner wall of the first groove 21 and the positioning insert 3;

[0064] When the positioning plug 3 slides upward, the spring 32 will be compressed. When the positioning plug 3 is released, the positioning plug 3 can pop out downward at the bottom of the lower box body 2 under the rebound effect of the spring 32;

[0065] The spring 32 is located in the elastic member cavity 22 , and the elastic member cavity 22 can stabilize the spring 32 around the spring 32 to prevent the spring 32 from deviating.

[0066] The positioning insert 3 is connected to a pull ring structure 34, and the pull ring structure 34 is located in the first groove 21 and connected to the positioning insert 3. Figure 3 , Fig.10 As shown;

[0067] The pull ring structure 34 is fixed relative to the positioning insert 3 and can move longitudinally in the first groove 21. The surface of the pull ring structure 34 has a depression to facilitate the user to pull up the positioning insert 3.

[0068] When stacking the box bodies 5, the user can operate the pull ring structure 34 to pull up the positioning plug 3 first. After the positioning plug 3 is pulled up, it will not affect the mutual translational insertion between the box bodies 5 through the sliding plug-in structure. When the box bodies 5 are translated and inserted into place, the through hole at the bottom of the lower box body 2 corresponds to the positioning groove 11 at the top of the lower box body 5. The user then releases the pull ring structure 34. Under the action of the spring 32, the positioning plug 3 slides downward and passes through the through hole to cooperate with the positioning groove 11 below, thereby realizing the simultaneous action of the longitudinal and lateral limits between the stacked box bodies 5. While ensuring the lateral limit to prevent the box bodies 5 from staggering or sliding against each other, the longitudinal limit can ensure that the box bodies 5 will not collapse due to external force, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the box bodies 5 after stacking.

[0069] In this embodiment, a first buckle 35 is provided on the inner side of the pull ring structure 34. Fig. 9 As shown;

[0070] The first buckle 35 includes claws on both sides facing outwards, such as Fig. 9 As shown;

[0073] In this embodiment, the first plug hole 33 is cross-shaped. Figure 8 As shown;

[0074] The first buckle 35 can be engaged with the first plug hole 33;

[0075] The positioning piece arranged in the vertical direction of the pull ring structure 34 can be plugged into the first plug hole 33 to achieve position limiting, thereby further improving the connection stability between the pull ring structure 34 and the positioning plug piece 3;

[0076] The pull ring structure 34 is detachably connected to the positioning insert 3 via the first buckle 35, which can facilitate subsequent maintenance.

[0077] In this embodiment, a first slot 15 is formed on one side of the upper cover 1. Figure 4 As shown;

[0078] The first slot 15 vertically penetrates one side of the upper cover 1;

[0079] A second slot 25 is provided on one side of the lower box body 2 at a position corresponding to the first slot 15. Figure 6 As shown;

[0080] The second slot 25 vertically penetrates one side of the lower box body 2;

[0081] When the upper cover 1 and the lower box body 2 are in the closed state, the first slot 15 and the second slot 25 correspond to each other. Figure 1 As shown;

[0082] An anti-theft rivet can be inserted between the first slot 15 and the second slot 25 to prevent the tool box from being opened at will.

[0083] In this embodiment, a positioning flange 26 is formed upward on the edge of the lower box body 2. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown;

[0084] The upper cover 1 is formed with a flange structure adapted to the positioning flange 26 downwards. When the upper cover 1 and the lower box body 2 are in the closed state, the flange structure cooperates with the positioning flange 26 to limit each other and ensure that the upper cover 1 and the lower box body 2 are not offset from each other when closed.

[0085] A positioning step 17 is formed on one side of the upper cover of the box body 5. Figure 4 As shown;

[0086] A mounting shaft for mounting a flip cover fastener 29 is provided on one side of the lower box body 2 of the box body 5 corresponding to the positioning step 17. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown;

[0087] When the upper cover 1 and the lower box body 2 are closed, the upper cover 1 and the lower box body 2 can be locked by the upward cooperation of the flip cover fastener 29 and the positioning step 17. Figure 1 , Fig.10 shown.

[0088] A depression 28 is formed on one side of the lower box body 2. Figure 7 As shown;

[0089] A pull ring shaft 19 is arranged in the recess 28. Figure 7 As shown;

[0090] The pull ring 18 is installed on one side of the lower box body 2 through the pull ring shaft 19 and is embedded in the groove 28. Figure 1 , Fig.11 As shown;

[0091] The pull ring 18 can be used to lift the box body 5 conveniently. The pull ring 18 is embedded in the groove 28, which not only prevents it from protruding outward and affecting the appearance, but also prevents it from occupying more storage space. When the box body 5 is moved, the pull ring 18 can also be prevented from protruding and colliding, which has a protective effect on the pull ring 18.

[0092] The boxes 5 are stacked as follows Fig.10 , Fig.11 shown.

[0093] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent replacements or modifications made based on the present invention to achieve basically the same technical effects are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
