[0029] See also Figures 1 to 4 The present application provides a modular tool cabinet 100, which includes a cabinet body 10, a connector 20, and multiple functional modules 30. The connector 20 is connected to the cabinet body 10, and at least one functional module 30 is detachably connected to the connector 20. This allows customization of different functional modules 30. Based on the customer's specific needs, multiple functional modules 30 can be selectively and detachably integrated into the connector 20 and connected to the cabinet body 10 via the connector 20. In other words, the cabinet body 10 and connector 20 can be made into universal standard components, while only different functional modules 30 need to be customized. The desired functional modules 30 can then be selectively assembled with the cabinet body 10 via the connector 20 to form the modular tool cabinet 100. This reduces the production cost of the modular tool cabinet 100. Furthermore, the cabinet body 10 and multiple functional modules 30 can be freely combined to form different modular tool cabinets 100, making the modular tool cabinet 100 adaptable to different usage scenarios.
