[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0023] Example 1.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the expandable tool box described in this embodiment includes a box body 10, one side of the box body 10 is open, and the open side of the box body 10 is pivotally connected to a first side cover 20, the first side cover 20 is provided with a second side cover 30 with the same opening direction as the first side cover 20, the second side cover 30 is slidably matched with the first side cover 20, and is spaced from the first side cover 20 to form a accommodating space 40, the box body 10 is provided with a fastener 50 on the side away from the first side cover 20 pivotally connected thereto, the second side cover 30 is fixedly connected to the box body 10 via the fastener 50, and fixing parts for fixing tools are provided in the box body 10, the first side cover 20 and the second side cover 30.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 The tool box as a whole includes three main parts: a main box body 10, a first side cover 20 and a second side cover 30, and fixing parts (not shown in the figure) are provided in the box body 10, the first side cover 20 and the second side cover 30 for placing and fixing various tools, wherein the second side cover 30 is designed to be slidable relative to the first side cover 20, and the accommodating space 40 formed by the second side cover 30 and the first side cover 20 can be used to provide storage space for tools placed on the second side cover 30.

[0026] When using this tool box, Figure 2 As shown, first unfasten the fastener 50 that fixes the box body 10 and the second side cover 30. At this time, the first side cover 20 is not restricted by the second side cover 30 and can be rotated outward relative to the box body 10 around the pivot joint with the box body 10 to open. Subsequently, the second side cover 30 loses the restriction of the fastener 50 and can slide and unfold relative to the first side cover 20. At this point, the entire tool box is fully unfolded, making it easy to take in and view the tools inside.

[0027] After use, the operator only needs to reset the second side cover 30 and snap the second side cover 30 onto the fastener 50. In this embodiment, the second side cover 30 is made of a transparent material, so that even when the tool box is in the storage state, the storage state of the internal tools is clear at a glance, which is convenient for display in the mall and is convenient and practical.

[0028] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the first side cover 20 is accommodated inside the second side cover 30. With this structural design, the first side cover 20 is nested inside the second side cover 30, so when the tool box is in the folded storage state, the first side cover 20 is completely hidden inside the second side cover 30 and does not protrude outside the main body of the tool box, thereby avoiding occupying any additional external space, which makes the entire tool box in the folded state, the overall structure is more compact and complete, thereby greatly improving its convenience in carrying and storage.

[0029] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the convenience of operation, the sliding direction of the second side cover 30 relative to the first side cover 20 is perpendicular to the pivot axis of the first side cover 20 relative to the box body 10. In this way, since the sliding direction of the second side cover 30 is perpendicular to the opening and closing axis of the first side cover 20, the movements of the two do not interfere with each other, that is, when the first side cover 20 is opened and closed, it will not hinder the sliding of the second side cover 30; similarly, when the second side cover 30 slides, it will not hinder the normal opening and closing of the first side cover 20, and the two movements can be carried out in a coordinated manner. In addition, this makes the box body 10, the first side cover 20, and the second side cover 30 line up in a row when the tool box is fully unfolded, and the internal tools are completely presented to the user, which is more in line with the user's habit of taking and operating tools facing a flat work surface.

[0030] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the width of the first side cover 20 is smaller than the width of the second side cover 30. With this structural design, when the tool box is in a closed storage state, the part of the second side cover 30 that is wider than the first side cover 20 will form an observation window, and the user can directly see the various tools placed in the internal box body 10 through this window, which greatly improves the visibility of the tools. In addition, this width difference can also provide a visual sense of hierarchy and design, making the appearance of the tool box more attractive.

[0031] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve the overall structural strength of the tool box, the box body 10 includes an outer box body 11 and an inner box body 12, the inner wall surface of the inner box body 12 is provided with a tenon 121, the inner wall surface of the outer box body 11 is provided with a mortise 111 adapted to the tenon 121, the tenon 121 is fixedly connected to the outer box body 11 through the mortise 111, and the outer box body 11 is pivotally connected to the first side cover 20.

[0032] In this embodiment, the double-layer structure of the inner and outer box bodies enhances the overall strength and rigidity of the tool box, and can bear more tool weight to avoid deformation or damage caused by excessive tool weight. In specific implementation, the inner and outer box bodies are fixedly connected by the tenon 121 and the mortise 111. The outer box body 11 can be made of a harder material, and the inner box body 12 can be made of a softer material, so that it is both light and stable.

[0033] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, for the convenience of carrying and display, the box body 10 has a handle 13, and the handle 13 is provided with a hanging hole 131. In this way, the handle 13 is provided to facilitate carrying the entire tool box with one hand, which is more convenient to carry and avoids the heavy state of holding the box body with both hands. The hanging hole 131 provided on the handle 13 allows the tool box to be hung on a hook on the wall or a hook in a car, realizing convenient hanging storage of tools. The hanging hole 131 can also hang the tool box for display, which is convenient for display in homes and stores, meeting the needs of more diversified usage scenarios.

[0034] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, in order to enhance durability, the handle 13 is arranged on the inner box body 12, and the fastener 50 is arranged on the outer box body 11. In this way, the handle 13 is arranged on the inner box body 12, and the handle 13 that bears the main pulling force can be arranged on the inner inner box body 12, which can effectively avoid damage to the outer box body 11 caused by long-term pulling. Similarly, the fastener 50 is arranged on the outer more solid outer box body 11, which can withstand a larger buckling impact, thereby greatly enhancing the bearing capacity and durability of the entire structure.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, in order to protect the fastener 50 from impact and wear, the outer box body 11, the inner box body 12 and the second side cover 30 are all provided with an escape groove 60 for accommodating the fastener 50. As an important fixing part of the tool box, the fastener 50 is often susceptible to impact and wear, but by providing the escape groove 60 on the box body 10 and the second side cover 30, the fastener 50 can be completely hidden therein, thereby effectively reducing the risk of failure of the fastener 50 caused by external collision, and at the same time making the surface of the entire tool box flat and smooth in the closed state, without any protruding parts, giving people a sense of complete and coordinated structure visually, and also avoiding accidents such as hooking or scratching caused by the protruding fastener 50.

[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, in order to improve the anti-theft performance, the outer box body 11 and the second side cover 30 are both provided with a matching anti-theft pin seat 70, and the anti-theft pin seat 70 is located in the avoidance groove 60. In this way, when the tool box is in a closed state, the box body 10 and the second side cover 30 can be buckled together by passing the anti-theft pin through the anti-theft pin seat 70, effectively preventing the tool box from being pried open or stolen, and greatly improving the anti-theft safety.

[0037] The expandable tool box provided in the present embodiment, firstly, through the opening and closing structure in which the main box body and the first side cover are pivotally connected, the first side cover does not occupy additional space when stored, thereby improving the portability of the tool box; secondly, a slidable second side cover is provided on the first side cover to form an additional accommodating space, and combined with the design of the transparent material of the second side cover, not only the tools placed in the accommodating space of the second side cover are not blocked, but also the second side cover can slide and unfold relative to the first side cover when the tool box is unfolded for use, so that all the tools inside the tool box are clearly visible and can be viewed intuitively without opening the box, thereby greatly improving the convenience of use.
