After the movable plate 31 moves upward, the snap-connecting block 35 is inserted into the fixed groove 43 to limit the layer 18 and prevent the layer 18 from being pulled out of the box body 12.
[0031] Advantageously, concave cavities 14 are provided on both sides of the box body 12 , and sliding grooves 15 are provided in the concave cavities 14 . A side plate 33 is provided on one side of the clamping block 35 , and the side plate 33 is connected to the sliding grooves 15 in a sliding manner.
[0032] Advantageously, a sliding cavity 21 is provided inside the box body 12 , the movable plate 31 is connected to the sliding cavity 21 in a sliding manner, and the movable plate 31 and the top block 34 slide in the sliding cavity 21 .
[0033] Advantageously, the front and rear end walls of the sliding cavity 21 are provided with protrusions 25 , and the movable plate 31 is provided with two limiting grooves 32 . The protrusions 25 are located in the limiting grooves 32 and limit the movable plate 31 .
[0034] Advantageously, the inner wall of the box body 12 is provided with a plurality of groups of snap-fit components for snapping with the layer plate 18, and the snap-fit components include a first snap-fit block 19 and a second snap-fit block 22 arranged on the left and right sides of the box body 12, and the second snap-fit block 22 is arranged on the rear side of the first snap-fit block 19. The layer plate 18 slides from the upper side of the first snap-fit block 19 and the second snap-fit block 22 and is snap-fitted into the first snap-fit block 19 and the second snap-fit block 22.
[0035] Advantageously, a first inner groove 23 is provided in the first clamping block 19, a second inner groove 24 is provided in the second clamping block 22, and side blocks 41 are provided at the front and rear ends of both sides of the layer plate 18.

At this time, the layer plate 18 can be restricted in the box body 12 and cannot be pulled forward, thereby fixing the layer plate 18 to prevent the layer plate 18 from sliding freely and causing the tools therein to be exposed or falling.
[0042] When a person opens the flip cover 11, since the lock buckle 13 and the buckle 17 are common existing technologies, after the lock buckle 13 is flipped open, the flip cover 11 can be flipped back to open.
[0043] When pulling out the shelf 18, it is necessary to press the side panel 33 downward to disengage the side panel 33 from the fixing groove 43, and then lift the shelf 18 upward to disengage the side block 41 from the first inner groove 23 and the second inner groove 24. After that, the shelf 18 can be pulled out of the box body 12, making it easier for people to take tools inside the shelf 18.
[0044] When the layer board 18 is placed on the first clamping block 19 and the second clamping block 22 , the first clamping block 19 and the second clamping block 22 abut against the flanges around the layer board 18 , thereby limiting the placement of the layer board 18 .
