Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0026] Example

[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a foldable multi-functional hardware toolbox, comprising:

[0028] The storage mechanism 100 includes a housing 101, a partition box 102 placed inside the housing 101, a storage assembly 103 disposed on the top of the housing 101, and a storage box 104 placed inside the housing 101.

[0029] And a folding mechanism 200 used in conjunction with the placement box 104.

[0030] The box body 101 serves as the main frame, providing stable support and storage space. The divider box 102 is located inside the box body 101, which can classify and store tools, prevent tools from colliding with each other, and facilitate quick access. The storage component 103 is located on the top of the box body 101, which further expands the storage space and improves the efficiency of tool organization. The placement box 104 is used to store larger or heavier tools, ensuring the rational use of the internal space of the toolbox.

[0031] Specifically, the folding mechanism 200 includes a base plate 201 fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 101, a bearing seat 202 fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate 201, and a shaft 203 rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the bearing seat 202. The folding mechanism 200 also includes a positioning platform 205 fixedly installed on the outside of the shaft 203, and a positioning slot 206 opened on the outside of the positioning platform 205.

[0032] The base plate 201 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box 101, providing a stable foundation for the folding mechanism 200; the bearing seat 202 and the shaft 203 are rotatably connected, enabling the folding mechanism 200 to flexibly unfold or fold; the positioning plate 205 and the positioning slot 206 are used to fix the box 104 in place, ensuring its stability in the unfolded state.

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom of the placement box 104 is provided with a card strip that has the same shape as the positioning card slot 206, and the card strip is movably engaged in the inner cavity of the positioning card slot 206.

[0034] The bottom of the placement box 104 is provided with a locking strip that is the same shape as the positioning slot 206. It can be movably locked in the inner cavity of the positioning slot 206, so that the placement box 104 can be firmly fixed on the positioning platform 205 after the folding mechanism is unfolded, thus preventing the tool from shaking or falling off during movement.

[0035] Preferably, the two sets of folding mechanisms 200 are distributed on both sides of the bottom of the box 101, and the edges of the two positioning plates 205 are connected by upper and lower locking.

[0036] The edges of the two positioning plates 205 are connected by upper and lower locking mechanisms, which further enhances the stability and durability of the structure.

[0037] Furthermore, the storage assembly 103 includes a lid 103a hinged to the top of the box 101, and a storage box 103b fixedly installed on the outside of the lid 103a. The storage assembly 103 also includes a storage slot 103c opened on the outside of the storage box 103b, a cover plate 103d hinged to the outside of the storage box 103b, and a handle 103e rotatably installed on the outside of the lid 103a.

[0038] The lid 103a is hinged to the top of the box body 101, allowing for flexible opening and closing for easy access to tools. The storage box 103b is fixed to the outside of the lid 103a, providing additional storage space. The storage slot 103c is located on the outside of the storage box 103b for storing small tools or accessories. The cover 103d is hinged to the outside of the storage box 103b, effectively protecting the tools inside the storage slot 103c. The handle 103e is rotatably mounted on the outside of the lid 103a for easy carrying.

[0039] When using the toolbox, the user first carries it by the handle 103e. After arriving at the location, the user opens the lid 103a and takes out the required tools.

[0040] When it is necessary to expand the storage space, the user can operate the folding mechanism 200 to unfold the base plate 201 to both sides of the box 101 via the shaft 203, and then insert the card strip at the bottom of the box 104 into the positioning slot 206 to form a stable expansion platform.

[0041] After use, the user sorts and puts the tools back into the divider box 102 or storage box 103b. The folding mechanism 200 folds the tools together, the lid 103a closes, and the toolbox returns to its compact state, making it easy to carry and store.

[0042] In summary, the ingenious combination of the storage mechanism 100 and the folding mechanism 200 achieves efficient tool storage and portability. The divider box 102 and storage component 103 in the storage mechanism 100 provide classified storage and expanded space, ensuring that the tools are neat and orderly. The folding mechanism 200, through the cooperation of the base plate 201, the shaft 203 and the positioning platform 205, can be flexibly unfolded to increase the placement area and meet the storage needs of more tools. At the same time, it is compact in size after folding, making it easy to carry and store.

[0043] It is important to note that the constructions and arrangements of this application shown in several different exemplary embodiments are merely illustrative. Although only a few embodiments are described in detail in this disclosure, those who consult this disclosure will readily understand that many modifications are possible (e.g., changes in the size, dimensions, structure, shape and proportion of various elements, as well as parameter values ​​(e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.), mounting arrangements, use of materials, color, orientation, etc.) without substantially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the subject matter described in this application). For example, an element shown as integrally formed may be composed of multiple parts or elements, the position of elements may be inverted or otherwise altered, and the nature or number or position of discrete elements may be changed or altered. Therefore, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this utility model. The order or sequence of any process or method steps may be changed or rearranged according to alternative embodiments. In the claims, any "device plus function" clause is intended to cover the structure described herein that performs the function, and not only structural equivalents but also equivalent structures. Without departing from the scope of this invention, other substitutions, modifications, alterations, and omissions may be made in the design, operation, and arrangement of the exemplary embodiments. Therefore, this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, but extends to various modifications that still fall within the scope of the appended claims.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to provide a concise description of exemplary embodiments, not all features of actual embodiments (i.e., those features that are not relevant to the best mode of carrying out the present invention as currently considered, or those features that are not relevant to implementing the present invention) may be omitted.
