DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In the related art, the locking structure of the single body of the spliced storage element is mainly mechanical lock, which needs the user to manually rotate the key to realize the locking and unlocking functions, and has the problems of time-consuming and laborious.

[0027] In view of the above problems, the utility model provides a locking assembly 100 and a stacked tool box 10, which can be quickly locked, reduce the time and energy consumption of manual operation, and improve the user experience.

[0028] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but only represents selected embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] It should be noted that: similar signs and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in the subsequent drawings.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "outer" are used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed during use, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0034] The following describes in detail, through embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings, the overall structure, working principle, and technical effects of the locking component 100 and the stacked toolbox 10 provided by this utility model. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the locking component 100 provided in this embodiment. The present invention provides a locking component 100, which is applied in the field of storage tool technology, and includes a holding member 130 and a locking member 110.

[0035] Both the holding member 130 and the locking member 110 are rotatably connected to the first body 200. Furthermore, the holding member 130 rotates under the action of external force, and when the holding member 130 rotates to a preset position, one end of the locking member 110 is held by the holding member 130, while the other end rotates away from the first body 200.

[0036] It is readily understood that the locking assembly 100 provided in this application achieves rapid locking through the resistance of the holding member 130 against the locking member 110. This means that the user can quickly lock or unlock the device with a simple action (rotating the locking member 110), without requiring complex operating steps. Based on this, the time and effort spent by the user on manual operation are greatly reduced, enabling the user to perform locking and unlocking operations more efficiently.

[0037] Please refer to it again. Figure 1The locking member 110 comprises a bearing portion 111 and a locking portion 113 which are connected to each other. The locking portion 113 is configured to be rotatably connected to the first body 200, and the bearing portion 111 is configured to be pressed by the pressing member 130. On this basis, the locking portion 113 is configured to rotate away from the first body 200 when the pressing member 130 presses the bearing portion 111. That is, in the present application, the bearing portion 111 and the locking portion 113 work together to bear the pressing force and the locking force, respectively, so as to ensure that the locking state of the locking assembly 100 is stable and reliable, and is not prone to loosening or disengagement.

[0038] To further improve the balance and stability during rotation, the locking portion 113 comprises a rotating block 1131 and a locking block 1133. The rotating block 1131 is connected to the bearing portion 111 and the locking block 1133, and is configured to be rotatably connected to the first body 200. The locking block 1133 is configured to rotate away from the first body 200 when the pressing member 130 presses the bearing portion 111. In practical applications, the rotating block 1131 is provided with a rotating hole which is matched with the rotating shaft of the first body 200, so as to be rotatably connected to the first body 200 through the rotating shaft, or the two ends of the rotating block 1131 can be provided in the form of a shaft, so as to be directly rotatably connected to the first body 200.

[0039] On this basis, the rotating block 1131 and the locking block 1133 are connected at an included angle, and the included angle is an acute angle or a right angle, so as to form a hook-shaped structure together, thereby improving the locking stability. It should be noted that the hook-shaped structure has a natural self-locking feature, and in the locked state, the locking portion 113 can be more firmly engaged, thereby further reducing the risk of loosening or falling due to external impact or vibration.

[0040] To facilitate automatic resetting of the locking member 110 after unlocking, the locking assembly 100 further comprises an elastic member. One end of the elastic member is connected to the first body 200, and the other end is connected to the rotating block 1131. In the present application, when the pressing member 130 is no longer in contact with the bearing portion 111 of the locking member 110, the elastic restoring force of the elastic member will push the rotating block 1131 and the locking block 1133 back to the initial position, thereby returning to the unlocked state. Optionally, the elastic member is a spring or a coil spring.

[0041] In consideration of the force transmission, the two ends of the pressing member 130 are provided with matching parts for interference fit with the first body 200. Based on the structure of the above interference fit, the stability of the rotation connection between the pressing part and the first body 200 can be significantly improved, and at the same time, the effect of the elastic recovery force of the elastic member on the pressing part and the abutting part 111 of the locking member 110 is effectively avoided, which affects the locking effect. Exemplarily, the first body 200 is provided with a structure such as a hard protrusion for limiting the two ends of the pressing member 130.

[0042] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The structure of the layered tool box 10 provided in the embodiment is schematically shown, and the application also provides a layered tool box 10, which comprises a first body 200 and a locking assembly 100 as described in the foregoing embodiments. Moreover, as described above, the pressing member 130 and the locking member 110 are connected with the layered tool box 10. It is easy to understand that in the case of the layered tool box 10, the first body 200 can refer to the box body, and the pressing member 130 can refer to the handle. In the case of other splicing type storage elements, the first body can also be a box body or a cabinet body.

[0043] In the case where the pressing member 130 is a handle, the locking member 110 is arranged on both sides of the pressing member 130. Based on this, the locking force can be dispersed, the locking can be more uniform and firm, the connection strength between adjacent layered tool boxes 10 can be significantly improved, and the risk of loosening or falling due to uneven stress at a single point can be reduced.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that on the opposite side of the first body 200 where the pressing member 130 is arranged, other types of clamping members for clamping can also be arranged to facilitate the clamping cooperation on this side. Alternatively, the clamping member can be a buckle structure that automatically pops out. Alternatively, the pressing member 130 and the locking member 110 in the foregoing embodiments can be arranged on both sides of the first body 200, and the two pressing members 130 are connected through a linkage structure to achieve the beneficial effect of improving the locking convenience.

[0045] In order to improve the compactness of the layered tool box 10, as Figure 3 shown, the first body 200 is provided with a first accommodating groove 210 and a second accommodating groove 230 that are in communication with each other. Moreover, the first accommodating groove 210 is matched with the pressing member 130, and the second accommodating groove 230 is matched with the locking member 110. It should be noted that in the initial state, the locking member 110 is accommodated in the second accommodating groove 230. When the pressing member 130 is rotated to be matched with the first accommodating groove 210, the pressing part of the locking member 110 is abutted and limited, so that the locking part 113 is rotated and thus extends out of the second accommodating groove 230, and is clamped and locked with the tool box below.

[0046] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the stacked toolbox 10 further comprises a sealing plate 400. Wherein, the sealing plate 400 cooperates with the open end of the second accommodating groove 230, thereby effectively protecting the locking piece 110 from slipping due to external impact or vibration during transportation or use. Moreover, the sealing plate 400 is provided with an avoiding groove 410 for avoiding the locking piece 110, so as to accurately control the cooperation degree of the locking piece 110, and avoid difficult unlocking or damage caused by excessive cooperation.

[0047] Further, in order to improve the connection stability of the sealing plate 400, the stacked toolbox 10 further comprises a fastener 500, and the sealing plate 400 is connected with the groove wall of the second accommodating groove 230 through the fastener 500. Further, the number of fasteners 500 is two, and the two fasteners 500 are respectively arranged on both sides of the avoiding groove 410, so as to more evenly distribute the fixing force and ensure that the connection between the sealing plate 400 and the groove wall of the second accommodating groove 230 is more firm.

[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the stacked toolbox 10 further comprises a second body 300, and the second body 300 is provided with a locking groove 310 for locking with the locking piece 110 when the pressing piece 130 abuts against the locking piece 110. It is easy to understand that in the production practice of the stacked toolbox 10, the second body 300 can be a cover cooperating with the open end of the first body 200 as a box body.

[0049] Based on this, in the case of assembling at least two stacked toolboxes 10, for any two adjacent stacked toolboxes 10, the locking piece 110 of the upper first body 200 is locked with the locking groove 310 of the lower second body 300 under the abutting action of the pressing piece 130.

[0050] In other embodiments, the locking groove 310 can be provided on the first body 200, and in the case of assembling at least two stacked toolboxes 10, for any two adjacent stacked toolboxes 10, the locking piece 110 of the upper first body 200 is locked with the locking groove 310 of the lower first body 200 under the abutting action of the pressing piece 130.

[0051] In summary, the utility model provides a kind of stacked tool box 10 and locking assembly 100, the locking assembly 100 includes hold-down 130 and locking piece 110.Wherein, hold-down 130 and locking piece 110 are all with first body 200 rotationally connected.And, hold-down 130 rotates under external force, locking piece 110 is resisted by hold-down 130 in the case where hold-down 130 rotates to preset position, another end rotates towards the direction of away from first body 200.It is easy to understand that the locking assembly 100 provided by the present application realizes quick locking by the resistance of hold-down 130 to locking piece 110, i.e. user can quickly complete locking or unlocking by simple rotating action, without complex operation steps.Based on this, it greatly reduces the time and energy consumption of user manual operation, so that user can more efficiently perform locking and unlocking operation.

[0052] The above is only a specific embodiment of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the utility model, which should be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
