[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable geological surveying toolbox, including a base 1 and storage units arranged on top of the base. A cover 2 is arranged above the storage units at the top. The storage units are stacked and arranged in layers, which can store geological surveying tools in layers.

[0028] Among them, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the storage unit includes a storage frame 3, several storage slots 4 located within the storage frame, and connecting sleeves connected to the outer wall of the storage frame. The connecting sleeves include fixed sleeves 5 and movable sleeves 6, each being a vertically continuous tube. One fixed sleeve 5 and three movable sleeves 6 are arranged, located at the four corners of the storage frame 3. When the toolbox is in its stored state, the fixed sleeves 5 of each storage unit are located on the same longitudinal central axis, i.e., all fixed sleeves 5 are coaxial, and the multiple fixed sleeves 5 arranged vertically are connected by a fixed shaft 7. At this time, the movable sleeves 6 of each storage unit are connected by a movable shaft 8, allowing each storage unit to rotate about the fixed shaft 7, thus exposing the openings of each storage unit for easy access to geological surveying tools. In practical applications, the tops of the fixed sleeves 5 and movable sleeves 6 are also provided with an outwardly protruding ring, which not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also makes it easier to distinguish the boundaries between layers.

[0029] In this embodiment, each storage unit has a storage frame 3 that is an upward-opening groove structure. The storage frame 3 is rectangular in shape, and the upper surface of the bottom of the storage frame 3 is provided with several slots 31 for inserting storage slots 4, and the slots 31 are arranged in a rectangular matrix. Each storage slot 4 is an upward-opening groove, and the lower surface of its bottom is provided with inserts 41 that fit the slots 31, and the spacing between adjacent inserts 41 is the same. In this embodiment, the height of each storage slot 4 is less than or equal to the height of the storage frame, and its length and width can be preset according to the geological survey. The bottom of each storage slot 4 is provided with several inserts 41, and each insert 41 can be inserted into the slots 31 at the bottom of the storage frame 3, thereby maintaining the stability of the storage slot 4 and ensuring the stability of the various geological surveying tools inside the storage slot 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 has a connecting hole 11 for connecting the fixed shaft and the movable shaft, and the cover 2 has a through hole 21 for inserting the fixed shaft and the movable shaft. The fixed shaft 7 passes through the through hole 21 of the cover 2, the fixed sleeve 5, and the connecting hole 11 of the base 1 in sequence, penetrating the corner of each storage unit, and each storage unit can rotate along the fixed shaft 7, so that the storage groove 4 inside is exposed, making it easy to put in and take out tools; the three movable shafts 8 pass through the other three through holes 21 of the cover 2, the corresponding movable sleeves 6, and the connecting hole 11 of the base 1 in sequence, so that each storage unit can be fixed when it is in the storage state, preventing the geological surveying tools from falling out; when it is necessary to take out or store the tools, each movable shaft 8 is pulled out, so that each storage unit unfolds to expose the storage groove 4. Figure 7 As shown, in order to ensure the overall stability of the toolbox after unfolding, the movable shaft 8 can pass through the movable sleeve 6 of the rotating storage unit and make the bottom end of the movable shaft 8 touch the ground, thereby forming a support for the rotating storage unit.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer walls of the fixed shaft 7 and the movable shaft 8 are threaded, and the ends of the fixed shaft 7 and the movable shaft 8 are fixed and limited by the limiting sleeve 9.

[0032] Both ends of the fixed shaft 7 and the movable shaft 8 are threaded. The connecting hole 11 of the base is a threaded hole. The bottom ends of the fixed shaft 7 and the movable shaft 8 are threaded to the base. After passing through each storage unit, the top ends of the fixed shaft 7 and the movable shaft 8 are fixed and limited by the limiting sleeve 9, so that each storage unit, together with the base plate 1 and the cover 2, forms a stable whole. The limiting sleeve 9 is a collar with internal threads, and two levers 91 are fixed to its outer wall to facilitate turning the limiting sleeve 9.

[0033] To maintain the stability of the rotating storage unit, the fixed shaft 7 and the movable shaft 8 can also be provided with threaded structures evenly distributed on their outer walls. The corresponding fixed sleeve 5 and the movable sleeve 6 are provided with matching threads on their inner walls. The movable shaft 8 is screwed into the movable sleeve 6 of the rotating storage unit, and the bottom end of the movable shaft 8 touches the ground, thereby providing stable support for the rotating storage unit.

[0034] In this embodiment, a handle 10 is provided on the upper surface of the cover 2 to facilitate the movement of the toolbox. In practical applications, a backpack rope can also be connected to the side wall of the storage frame 2 located in the middle or lower part, making it convenient to lift the toolbox for movement or carry the toolbox on one's back for easy operation.

[0035] The portable geological surveying toolbox provided in this embodiment is equipped with a handle or backpack strap for easy portability. Through layered storage units, various geological surveying tools can be stored in separate compartments. Each storage unit can rotate around a fixed axis 7, exposing the storage slots 4 within each unit for easy retrieval of the corresponding tools during geological surveying operations. The unfolding and folding structure of each storage unit not only satisfies the need for categorized storage of various geological surveying tools but also prevents tools from falling into lower layers. Furthermore, the multi-layered arrangement allows for the storage of various tools, ensuring each tool has its own designated place for easy access. In practical applications, labels can be affixed to the outer wall of each storage unit to indicate the type of tool stored therein, making retrieval even more targeted.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
