[0024] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a material box, including a box body 1, the box body 1 includes a bottom shell 2 and a plurality of side walls arranged on the bottom shell 2, the side walls and the bottom shell 2 form a material cavity 6, the side walls include two oppositely arranged first side walls 3, at least one first side wall 3 is provided with a handle 4, and at least one handle 4 is provided with a first magnet 5.

[0026] In the above technical solution, the box body 1 of the material box is the main body of the entire device, which is composed of a bottom shell 2 and a plurality of side walls to form a cavity for storing materials, namely, a material cavity 6. The bottom shell 2 provides a stable support surface, while the side walls form a closed space to ensure that materials will not be accidentally scattered during transportation or use; the first side wall 3 is a pair of oppositely arranged walls among the side walls, and at least one first side wall 3 is provided with a handle 4, which enables the operator to easily pick up or move the material box, and the handle 4 can also serve as a large hanging ring, and the material box can be hung by connecting a hanging rope or hook to the handle 4; at least one handle 4 is provided with a first magnet 5, which can be used to adsorb and fix the material box from the side of the material box using the magnetic force of the first magnet, so that the material box is suspended and fixed by magnetic attraction using the magnetic force of the magnet. Compared with traditional material boxes fixed by screws, clamps, etc., the material box proposed by the utility model is simpler to operate, has a wider range of applications, is more convenient to carry, and does not require permanent changes to the equipment or operating platform, thereby enhancing the portability and versatility of the material box.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first magnet 5 is embedded on a side of the handle 4 away from the material chamber 6 .

[0028] In the above technical solution, the magnet is placed on the outside of the handle 4 so that the adsorption surface of the magnet is coplanar with the side of the material box. This can minimize the adsorption distance between the magnet and the adsorption target (such as the device housing, metal frame, etc.), thereby enhancing the magnetic attraction effect and ensuring that the material box is firmly adsorbed on the target and will not easily fall off even during operation. If the magnet is placed on the inside of the handle closer to the material cavity, it may interfere with the placement of items in the material cavity, especially for materials that are sensitive or easily affected by magnetic fields, such as magnetic screws and magnetic tools, which may affect their function or cause confusion. Placing the magnet on the side of the handle 4 away from the material cavity 6 can minimize such interference.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer edge of the handle 4 with the first magnet 5 away from the material cavity 6 is flush with the outer side surface of the first side wall 3 where the handle 4 is located, or protrudes from the outer side surface of the first side wall 3 away from the material cavity 6.

[0030] In the above technical solution, when the outer edge of the handle 4 is flush with the outer surface of the first side wall 3, the first magnet 5 can fully contact the adsorption target surface, and there is no gap or protrusion that affects the transmission of magnetic force, thereby enhancing the magnetic attraction effect, ensuring the stable adsorption of the material box, and not easy to fall off; the handle 4 protrudes from the outer surface of the first side wall 3 in the direction away from the material cavity 6, forming a gap between the first side wall 3 and the adsorption surface, increasing the operator's grasping position for the material box. When the material box is in a magnetically fixed state, the operator can grab the material box through the gap between the first side wall 3 and the adsorption surface, making it easier to remove the material box.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, handles 4 are respectively provided on the two first side walls 3 , and the two handles 4 are spaced apart.

[0032] In the above technical solution, by respectively arranging handles 4 on the two first side walls 3, the material box can be adsorbed and fixed on both sides of the box body, further expanding the range of the adsorbable surface, thereby improving the convenience of adsorption and fixation; respectively arranging handles 4 on the two first side walls 3 can also provide better balance for the material box, making the material box more stable when being lifted, moved or hung with a hanging rope or hook, avoiding tilting or material sliding caused by uneven force at a single point, and also facilitating the use of torque to overcome the magnetic force to remove the material box; the two handles 4 arranged at intervals can also allow the user to operate and carry the material box with both hands at the same time, especially when the material box is heavy or large in size, which can significantly improve the safety and efficiency of operation and transportation.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, a receiving groove 7 is provided on the outer side of at least one first side wall 3 , and an external hook 14 is provided in the receiving groove 7 , and the external hook 14 is suspended.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the accommodating groove 7 is arranged on the outside of the first side wall 3. Its main function and effect is to provide a hidden area that does not affect the overall structure of the material box to install and store the external hook 14. After the external hook 14 is suspended, it can be used to hang some tools and materials required for portable operations, such as wrenches, wiring harnesses and bags with hanging holes, etc., which increases the flexibility and practicality of the material box, so that it can not only store small materials such as screws, but also hang other tools or accessories to meet the needs of more work scenarios.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, a hanging rod 8 is provided in the accommodating groove 7, and the external hook 14 includes a connecting end and a hooking end, the connecting end is rotatably provided on the hanging rod 8, and the hooking end is suspended and extends out of the accommodating groove 7.

[0036] In the above technical solution, the hanging rod 8 within the storage tank 7 provides a fulcrum for the external hook 14 to rotate and slide, allowing the external hook 14 to flexibly adapt to tools or materials of different widths and shapes. When it is necessary to hang tools or wiring harnesses, the connecting end of the external hook 14 can be rotated on the hanging rod 8, and the hook end can be suspended outside the storage tank 7, conveniently hanging items. When the external hook 14 is not in use, it can be rotated around the hanging rod 8 back into the storage tank 7. At this time, the hook end of the external hook 14 does not protrude beyond the side walls or bottom surface of the material box. This does not affect the stable placement of the material box on the countertop, nor does it interfere with the magnetic fixation of the material box side.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, a storage structure is provided in the accommodating groove 7. The storage structure is located on the rotation path of the hook end and fixes the hook end. When the hook end is fixed by the storage structure, the external hook 14 is completely located in the accommodating groove 7.

[0038] In the above technical solution, the design of the accommodating groove 7 allows the external hook 14 to be rotated and stored in the groove when not in use, so that the external hook 14 after storage will not exceed the side wall and bottom surface of the material box, thereby maintaining the overall neatness and compactness of the material box, avoiding unnecessary interference caused by the external hook 14 extending when the material box is placed or adsorbed, and at the same time, by storing the hook, the space occupied by the entire material box in the operating area is reduced.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the receiving structure includes a second magnet 9 embedded in the receiving groove 7 , and the hooking end is made of magnetic material and can be adsorbed on the second magnet 9 .

[0040] In the above technical solution, the hook in the accommodating groove 7 is adsorbed and fixed by the second magnet 9 when not in use. On the one hand, it reduces the risk of the hook accidentally falling off or lost during storage, and on the other hand, it prevents the hook from swinging around uncontrollably, causing safety hazards or affecting the operating experience.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the receiving structure includes a step provided in the accommodating groove 7 , a convex edge is provided on a side of the step away from the material cavity 6 , and the hook end is hooked on the convex edge.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the step is mainly used to ensure that the hook can be firmly stored in the side wall of the material box when not in use. Compared with using magnets to adsorb and fix the hook, fixing the hook with a convex edge or a slot can provide physical constraints, making the hook more firmly stored and fixed, and will not loosen or fall off due to slight external collisions or vibrations. Although magnets can adsorb hooks, under strong vibrations or gravity, the magnetic force may not be enough to keep the hook fixed. Using a convex edge to fix the hook may be more durable than magnets in long-term use. The magnetism of a magnet will gradually weaken due to wear, high temperature or humid environment, while the fixing ability of the convex edge will not decrease over time unless physical damage occurs. The convex edge fixation allows for more diverse hook designs, such as hooks of different shapes, sizes and materials, while the hook fixed with a magnet usually requires a material that is magnetic or at least adsorbed by a magnet, which limits the range of hook material options.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first magnet 5 is provided on the handle 4 of one first side wall 3 , and an external hook 14 is provided on the outer wall of the other first side wall 3 .

[0044] In the above-described technical solution, the provision of the first magnet 5 enables the material box to adhere to ferrous or magnetic surfaces, such as metal equipment casings and cabinet frames. This allows the material box to be suspended and fixed without a table or other supporting structure, thereby saving space and maintaining a tidy work area. When the space within the storage box is occupied by materials or additional hanging options are required, the external hook 14 can serve as a supplement to hang tools, wire harnesses, bags, etc. with holes. This further expands the use scenarios and functions of the material box, making it more adaptable to the complex needs of field operations.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the side wall further includes a second side wall 10 and a third side wall 11 located between the two first side walls 3 . The second side wall 10 and the third side wall 11 are arranged opposite to each other, and a rectangular hook 13 is provided on the side of the third side wall 11 away from the material chamber 6 .

[0046] In the above-described technical solution, the second side wall 10 and the third side wall 11 are positioned relative to each other between the two first side walls 3, thereby forming a complete box structure. This ensures that the material box has sufficient space for storing materials and maintains the stability and strength of the box structure. The rectangular hook 13 allows the material box to be fixed not only by magnetic attraction, but also by hooking it onto rectangular or polygonal objects such as the frame of a workbench or a tool cart. Especially when there is no flat surface for magnetic attraction or placement, the rectangular hook 13 provides an alternative fixing solution, greatly expanding the placement options for the material box and increasing its adaptability and flexibility in different work environments.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the height of the second side wall 10 is lower than the height of the third side wall 11, and the two first side walls 3 form a cutting edge 12 on one side facing the second side wall 10, and the cutting edge 12 extends from the top of the first side wall 3 to the top of the second side wall 10.

[0048] In the above technical solution, the design of the cutting edge 12 makes the opening of the material box larger and reduces the height of the side wall on the side where the items are taken out, thereby reducing the obstruction when taking and placing materials, making it easier for operators to take and place materials from different angles and heights, and improving the efficiency of taking materials.

[0049] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: the box body 1 of the material box is the main body of the entire device, which is composed of a bottom shell 2 and multiple side walls to form a cavity for storing materials, namely the material cavity 6. The bottom shell 2 provides a stable support surface, while the side walls form a closed space to ensure that materials will not be accidentally scattered during transportation or use; the first side wall 3 is a pair of oppositely arranged walls among the side walls, and at least one first side wall 3 is provided with a handle 4, which enables the operator to easily pick up or move the material box, and the handle 4 can also serve as a large hanging ring, and the material box can be hung by connecting a hanging rope or hook to the handle 4; at least one handle 4 is provided with a first magnet 5, which can be used to adsorb and fix the material box from the side of the material box using the magnetic force of the first magnet, so that the material box is suspended and fixed by magnetic attraction using the magnetic force of the magnet. Compared with traditional material boxes fixed by screws, clamps, etc., the material box proposed by the utility model is simpler to operate, has a wider range of applications, is more convenient to carry, and does not require permanent changes to the equipment or operating platform, thereby enhancing the portability and versatility of the material box.
