Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a lightweight composite tool box for trucks that is waterproof, dustproof, and easy to open and close. The tool box includes a tool box cover 1, a tool box body 2, and a connecting component 3. The connecting component 3 is used to connect the tool box cover 1 and the tool box body 2.

[0029] A toolbox inner plate 11 is disposed on one side where the toolbox cover 1 is joined to the toolbox body 2 , and a sealing rubber strip 12 and a buffer rubber plug 13 are disposed on the toolbox inner plate 11 .

[0030] The sealing strip 12 is arranged between the contact surface of the tool box cover 1 and the tool box body 2, and its shape matches the shape of the opening at the upper end of the tool box body 2, and is used to improve the sealing performance of the tool box, that is, the sealing performance, waterproof performance and dustproof performance of the tool box are ensured by the interference of the sealing strip 12 between the tool box cover 1 and the tool box body 2; Figure 1As shown, the sealing strip 12 is annular. When the tool box cover 1 is closed, the annular sealing strip 12 is compressed and tightly squeezed around the opening at the upper end of the tool box body 2. The sealing strip 12 can effectively fill the gap between the tool box cover 1 and the tool box body 2, preventing moisture and dust from entering the interior of the tool box, thereby ensuring that the tools and equipment inside the tool box remain dry and clean.

[0031] The buffer rubber plug 13 is arranged on the tool box inner plate 11 near the edge, and is used to provide buffering when the tool box cover 1 is closed, so as to prevent the tool box cover 1 from directly contacting the tool box body 2, thereby reducing wear.

[0032] A base 28 is provided at the lower end of the tool box body 2, and the base 28 is fixedly connected to the tool box body 2 by glue.

[0033] An air intake pipe 21 and an exhaust pipe 22 are arranged on the side wall of the toolbox body 2. The air intake pipe 21 is located on the side wall of the toolbox body 2 close to the toolbox cover 1, and the exhaust pipe 22 is located on the side wall of the toolbox body 2 close to the base 28. Fresh air enters the toolbox through the air intake pipe 21, and the gas inside the toolbox is discharged through the exhaust pipe 22. Both the air intake pipe 21 and the exhaust pipe 22 are curved pipes, and the pipe openings are close to the side wall of the toolbox body 2. This design can reduce wear and collision, and can prevent dust and drain water while achieving ventilation.

[0034] A first mounting plate 23, a second mounting plate 24, a third mounting plate 25 and a fourth mounting plate 26 are provided on the side wall of the tool box body 2. Figure 1 As shown, the side of the toolbox that can open the toolbox lid 1 is the front side (the side on which the toolbox lid 1 is opened is usually the main direction faced and used by the user, and this side is the front side), the side opposite to the front side is the back side, the side on the left when facing the front of the toolbox is the left side, and the side on the right side is the right side; the first mounting plate 23 is longitudinally arranged on the left side wall of the toolbox body 2, the second mounting plate 24 is transversely arranged on the right side wall of the toolbox body 2 close to the toolbox lid 1, the third mounting plate 25 is transversely arranged on the back side wall of the toolbox body 2 close to the toolbox lid 1, and the fourth mounting plate 26 is arranged below the base 28. The first mounting plate 23, the second mounting plate 24, the third mounting plate 25 and the fourth mounting plate 26 are used to fix the toolbox to the vehicle body from different directions.

[0035] The connecting assembly 3 includes a hinge 31 , a gas strut 32 and a switch structure 33 .

[0036] The hinge 31 is used to connect the toolbox cover 1 and the toolbox body 2. The side of the hinge 31 is provided with a limiting structure (the limiting structure can be a sheet structure or a raised structure, etc.) for limiting its maximum opening angle. The limiting structure can limit the opening angle of the toolbox cover 1 during the rotation of the hinge 31 to prevent the toolbox cover 1 from colliding with the vehicle body and causing damage to the exterior paint.

[0037] Two gas strut mounting plates 27 are respectively arranged on both sides of the upper end of the toolbox body 2 near the edge. There are two gas struts 32 in total, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the joint surface of the toolbox cover 1 and the toolbox body 2. One end of the gas strut 32 is installed on the strut mounting plate 27, and the other end is connected to a position near the edge of the toolbox inner plate 11. The gas strut 32 is used to provide support when the toolbox cover 1 is opened. The gas strut 32 can reduce the user's operating burden and prevent the toolbox cover from being accidentally closed, making it more convenient and safer for the user to take and put tools and equipment.

[0038] The switch structure 33 includes a zipper 331 and a toolbox lock 332. The toolbox lock 332 is arranged at a position near the edge of the upper end of the toolbox body 2. A zipper switch is also installed on the side wall of the main driver's seat in the vehicle. One end of the zipper 331 is connected to the toolbox lock 332, and the other end is connected to the zipper switch. When opening the toolbox cover 1, the zipper switch is pulled, and the zipper force is transmitted to the toolbox lock 332 through the zipper 331 to unlock the toolbox lock 332. After the toolbox lock 332 is unlocked, the toolbox cover 1 is lightly pressed downward, and the toolbox cover 1 rises under the action of the gas strut 32. When closing the toolbox cover 1, the toolbox cover 1 is manually closed and pressed downward to lock the toolbox lock 332. In this embodiment, the switch structure 33 can adopt existing structures in automobiles, such as a hood release pull wire structure and a trunk release pull wire.

[0039] The tool box in this embodiment is made of lightweight composite material, has strong anti-corrosion ability, is not easy to rust, and has a long service life.

[0040] The working principle of the lightweight composite tool box for trucks that is waterproof, dustproof and easy to open and close in this embodiment is as follows:

[0041] When the tool box is fixed on the vehicle body, the first mounting plate 23, the second mounting plate 24, the third mounting plate 25 and the fourth mounting plate 26 are respectively connected to different positions on the vehicle body by bolts.

[0042] When opening the toolbox, the zipper switch on the main driving side wall in the driver's seat is pulled, so that the zipper force is transmitted to the toolbox lock 332 through the zipper 331, and the toolbox lock 332 is unlocked. The toolbox cover 1 is manually pressed downward lightly, and the hinge 31 rotates. The toolbox cover 1 slowly rises under the action of the gas strut 32. When the toolbox cover 1 reaches the set maximum opening angle, the hinge 31 stops rotating under the action of the limit structure. At this time, the toolbox cover 1 remains stable and motionless under the support of the gas strut 32, and the user can place or take out supplies in the toolbox;

[0043] When closing the toolbox, the toolbox lid 1 is closed manually. During the manual closing process, the gas strut 32 is compressed and the hinge 31 rotates again. When the toolbox lid 1 contacts the toolbox body 2, the buffer plug 13 provides a buffering effect between the toolbox lid 1 and the toolbox body 2 to prevent collision. When the toolbox lid 1 reaches the minimum opening angle, the toolbox lid 1 is pressed downward to lock the toolbox lock 332. During the pressing downward process, the sealing strip 12 and the buffer plug 13 are compressed, and the sealing strip 12 effectively fills the gap between the toolbox lid 1 and the toolbox body 2. During the use of the toolbox, fresh air enters the toolbox through the intake pipe 21, and the gas inside the toolbox is discharged through the exhaust pipe 22.

[0044] In the present invention, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", "fix" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connect" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "connect" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] The shapes of the various components in the drawings are schematic, and certain differences from their actual shapes are not excluded. The drawings are only used to illustrate the principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
