[0034] Example 1

[0035] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3-Figure 8 , a vehicle tool storage box with integrated spare tire installation, comprising:

[0036] The storage box 1 includes a fixing strip 12 and a dovetail groove 13. The storage box 1 includes a box body 11. The upper surface of the box body 11 is provided with a placement groove 14.

[0037] The fixing frame is arranged inside the dovetail groove 13 and includes a moving block 2, a mounting cover 3, a movable block 4 and a return spring 5, wherein:

[0038] A movable block 2 is disposed inside the dovetail groove 13. The movable block 2 includes a dovetail block 21. A vertical block 22 is disposed at the bottom end of the dovetail block 21. Both sides of the vertical block 22 are provided with a first movable half groove 24.

[0039] A mounting cover 3 is provided on both sides of the movable block 2. The mounting cover 3 includes a cover plate 31 connected to the movable block 2 by screws. A second movable half-slot 32 is provided on the side of the cover plate 31 close to the movable block 2. The second movable half-slot 32 and the second half-threaded hole 33 are in communication with each other. The second movable half-slot 32 has the same size as the first movable half-slot 24.

[0040] The movable card block 4 and the return spring 5 are both arranged between the moving block 2 and the mounting cover 3. The movable card block 4 extends to the outside of the mounting cover 3. The movable card block 4 includes a card block body 41. The card block body 41 is arranged between the second movable half groove 32 and the first movable half groove 24, and passes through the moving block 2 and the mounting cover 3 and extends to the outside of the moving block 2 and the mounting cover 3. A positioning groove 43 is provided on the side of the card block body 41 close to the second half threaded hole 33. The return spring 5 is provided inside the positioning groove 43. Both ends of the card block body 41 away from the return spring 5 are provided with inclined surfaces 42;

[0041] Based on the above, the placement groove 14 is set as the existing technology, which plays the role of placing tools such as jacks and towing hooks. The fixing frame is fixed inside the dovetail groove 13. When the tool storage box is placed in the wheel hub of the spare tire, the inclined surface 42 is squeezed with the inner wall of the wheel hub and moves along the direction of the first movable half groove 32 and the second movable grass 24. The reset spring 5 is compressed and produces reverse elastic force. At this time, the movable block 4 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the wheel hub under the action of the elastic force. In this process, there is a large friction between the movable block 4 and the inner wall of the wheel hub, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the tool storage box.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, a fixing bar 12 is provided on the lower surface of the box body 11, and a dovetail groove 13 is provided on the surface of the fixing bar 12. There are at least three fixing bars 12, and the fixing bars 12 are distributed in an annular shape with equal spacing;

[0044] The dovetail block 21 is set inside the dovetail groove 13 by a fixing screw 23, and the fixing screw 23 is threadedly connected to the dovetail block 21 and passes through the dovetail block 21.

[0045] Based on the above, the moving block 2 is inserted into the dovetail groove 13 through the dovetail block 21. At this time, the dovetail block 21 can move along the direction of the dovetail groove 13, and the fixation between the moving block 2 and the storage box 1 is achieved by tightening the fixing screw 23. When the moving position of the moving block 2 needs to be adjusted, the fixing screw 23 is loosened to move the position of the moving block 2. After the position is adjusted, the fixing screw 23 is tightened again to fix it, so that the position of the fixing frame can be adjusted to meet the effect that the tool storage box can be fixed in wheel hubs of different sizes.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] Based on the second embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, a vertical block 22 is provided at the bottom end of the dovetail block 21, a mounting block 25 is provided on the surface of the vertical block 22, and a first half threaded hole 26 is provided inside the mounting block 25, and the first half threaded hole 26 is connected to the first movable half groove 24;

[0048] A second half threaded hole 33 is provided on one side of the cover plate 31 close to the moving block 2 , and the second half threaded hole 33 and the first half threaded hole 26 form a complete threaded hole;

[0049] A hexagonal threaded column 6 is provided between the second half threaded hole 33 and the first half threaded hole 26 . The hexagonal threaded column 6 includes a column body 61 , one end of which is provided with a hexagonal blind hole 62 . The hexagonal threaded column 6 is in contact with the end of the return spring 5 away from the movable block 4 .

[0050] Based on the above, the first half threaded hole 26 and the second half threaded hole 33 form a complete threaded hole, which is threadedly connected to the hexagonal threaded column 6. Through the setting of the hexagonal blind hole 62, the column 61 can be moved by a hexagonal wrench. After moving, the column 61 can move along the direction of the threaded hole, thereby adjusting the initial compression degree of the reset spring 5. When the position of the fixing frame remains unchanged, when the tool storage box is installed in a wheel hub of the same size, the positive pressure between the movable block 4 and the wheel hub is greater, thereby making the tool storage box more stably fixed.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
