In existing toolboxes, the screwdrivers are positioned by a tight fit with the side wall of the receiving cavity, which lacks sufficient locking force, causing the screwdrivers to easily fall off when the toolbox is placed on its side.

Method used

A locking structure is provided on the tool box body, including a locking tongue, a latch, and a button. The screwdriver is locked or unlocked by moving the locking tongue. The elastic element and guide groove ensure that the locking tongue abuts against or moves away from the arc-shaped outer shell at the tail of the screwdriver, thereby achieving axial positioning of the screwdriver.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents the screwdriver from falling out of the toolbox, and is simple and convenient to operate. It can be locked or unlocked by pressing a button, which improves the positioning reliability of the screwdriver.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a toolbox with a locking structure, comprising a toolbox body 1, wherein a plurality of screwdrivers 2 are provided inside the toolbox body 1; the body of each screwdriver 2 is embedded in the cavity 3 of the toolbox body 1, and the tail end is exposed outside the cavity 3 of the toolbox body 1.

[0031] The toolbox 1 is provided with a locking structure, and a locking structure is provided on the side of each cavity 3. The locking structure locks the screwdriver in the side cavity 3.

[0032] The front end of the locking structure is provided with a locking tongue 4; in the locked state, the front end of the locking tongue 4 extends into the cavity 3 and abuts or is in close contact with the tail arc-shaped shell of the screwdriver 2 to axially position the screwdriver 2 in the cavity 3; in the unlocked state, the front end of the locking tongue 4 is retracted and away from the screwdriver 2, so that the screwdriver 2 is free to move.

[0033] The tail of the screwdriver 2 is in an arc-shaped structure, which is smaller and smaller as it is closer to the tail end, and the locking tongue 4 is a concave arc surface, which is close to the tail of the screwdriver 2, so that the tail of the screwdriver is axially limited and cannot move outward.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the locking structure comprises a lock catch 5 and a button 6, the tool box body 1 is provided with a first channel 7, the lock catch 5 linearly slides in the first channel 7, the lock catch 5 is provided with a second channel 8, one side wall of the second channel 8 is a first driving surface 9, the front end of the button 6 is provided with a second driving surface 10; the first driving surface 9 is in close contact with the second driving surface 10, and the angle between the two and the screwdriver is between 40-60°, to ensure effective force transmission. The second driving surface 10 of the button 6 is in close contact with the first driving surface 9 and pushes the lock catch 5 to slide in the first channel 7, so that the front end of the locking tongue 4 extends into the cavity. When an inward pushing force is applied to the operating button 6, the second driving surface 10 thereon will be in close contact with and slide along the first driving surface 9, and the resulting component force will cause the lock catch 5 to move linearly in the first channel 7. This action enables the front end of the locking tongue 4 to be guided into the predetermined cavity, thereby realizing the locking or unlocking function.

[0035] The first channel 7 is provided with an elastic member 11 and abuts the tail end of the lock catch 5, so that the first driving surface 9 is in close contact with the second driving surface 10, thereby always pushing the lock catch 5 towards the cavity of the tool box body 1. The elastic member 11 is a spring. After the button 6 is released in the unlocked state, the elastic member 11 pushes the second driving surface 10 of the lock catch 5 to be retracted against the first channel 7, so that the lock catch 5 moves away from the cavity. The tool box body 1 is provided with a guide groove, the middle segment of the lock catch 5 penetrates in the guide groove, which is used for guiding the inner end of the lock catch 5 and the outward pushing. The front end of the button 6 is provided with a curved end 12, the bending direction of the curved end 12 is towards the cavity 3.

[0036] As shown in Figures 5-8 , in the locked state, the front end of the locking tongue 4 extends into the cavity 3 and abuts or is in close contact with the tail arc-shaped shell of the screwdriver 2 to axially position the screwdriver 2 in the cavity 3. Specifically, under the action of the elastic member 11, the lock catch 5 is pushed to move to the rightmost position, that is, the front end of the locking tongue 4 extends into the cavity 3, at this time the screwdriver 2 is axially positioned in the cavity 3, and the button 6 in this state is pressed to the outermost side.

[0037] like Figures 9-12 As shown, in the unlocked state, the front end of the latch 4 retracts inward and moves away from the screwdriver 2, allowing the screwdriver 2 to move freely. Specifically, when an external force pushes the button 6 inward, the second driving surface 10 of the button 6 presses against the first driving surface 9, causing the latch 5 to move to the left and overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 11 until the latch 5's latch 4 leaves the cavity 3. At this point, the tail of the screwdriver 2 is no longer constrained and can be freely removed.
