Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a toolbox, specifically a trunk combination toolbox with an embedded partition structure, belonging to the field of toolbox technology. Background Technology

[0002] A trunk toolbox is a special container in the vehicle's trunk used for storing, managing, and quickly accessing onboard tools and emergency equipment. It typically adopts a modular design to adapt to the space of different vehicle models and has functions such as classified storage, shockproof and moisture-proof. Its core function is to ensure driving safety, improve tool management efficiency, and meet emergency repair needs.

[0003] However, most existing toolboxes have various problems. For example, the vehicle combination toolbox disclosed in CN201856713U has the characteristics of being able to preserve food and store daily necessities, effectively utilize trunk space, reasonably organize vehicle tools, have an attractive appearance, and be easy to use. However, in order to meet the needs of use and classify the stored items, the toolbox usually has an embedded partition inside, and the partition is usually set as a sliding connection structure inside the box.

[0004] In existing technologies, the compartment structure of trunk toolboxes is usually designed as a flat panel. When the partition is fully extended, the increased span makes the middle of the partition susceptible to concentrated loads, leading to bending deformation or even breakage. In addition, to meet the needs of storing multiple tools, the overall size of the toolbox is usually large. When the partition is fully extended, the center of gravity of the box shifts forward, which can easily cause the box to tip over, especially during the process of taking tools out and putting them in. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a trunk toolbox with an embedded compartment structure to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the problem of overly simplistic solutions in existing technologies by providing a significantly different solution. Specifically, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings in existing technologies by proposing a trunk combination toolbox with an embedded partition structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A trunk-mounted toolbox with an embedded partition structure includes a toolbox body, a partition, and a stabilizing support mechanism. The partition is horizontally slidably engaged in the internal cavity of the toolbox body, and the stabilizing support mechanism for supporting the partition is located at the bottom of the partition.

[0008] The stabilizing support mechanism includes a mounting plate, a locking block, a sliding plate, a locking groove, a support plate, a support leg, and a linkage unit. The mounting plate is fixed to one end of the bottom of the partition and two are symmetrically arranged. The mounting plate has a through mounting cavity. The locking block is fixed to the top of the mounting cavity. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the mounting cavity. The locking groove is recessed in the top of the sliding plate. The locking block is slidably engaged in the locking groove. The support plate is fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate and multiple support plates are arranged. The support leg is rotatably connected to one of the support plates.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the linkage unit includes a linkage plate and an adjusting rod, the support leg has an L-shaped structure, the inflection point of the support leg is rotatably connected to the support plate, the linkage plate is rotatably connected to another support plate, and the two ends of the adjusting rod are respectively rotatably connected between the support leg and the linkage plate.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: a docking plate is fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate, and a shaft is provided on both the docking plate and the linkage plate, and a return spring is provided between two adjacent shafts.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the bottom of the sliding plate is fixed with an abutment plate, which abuts against one side of the support leg.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the stabilizing support mechanism is provided in at least two sets in a symmetrical manner at the bottom of the partition.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inner wall of the toolbox body is fixed with a limiting seat, the limiting seat is in the shape of an inverted triangle, and the partition is slidably engaged in the inverted triangle groove of the limiting seat.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] In this invention, the stable support mechanism allows the sliding plate to be pulled out after the partition is extended. The support legs unfold simultaneously when the sliding plate is pulled out, providing effective support for the suspended end of the partition. This effectively disperses the concentrated load on the suspended section of the partition, preventing bending deformation. Furthermore, the extended support legs increase the contact area between the toolbox body and the ground, dynamically adjusting the center of gravity of the toolbox and reducing the risk of tipping over due to large spans or tool handling. The support legs also feature an embedded design, completely concealed at the bottom of the partition when folded, without occupying extra space. This solves the problem of easy deformation and tipping caused by thin partitions and excessive size in traditional toolboxes, while also considering portability, safety, and expandability requirements.

[0021] 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. Example 1

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a trunk combination toolbox with an embedded partition structure includes a toolbox body 1, a partition 2 and a stabilizing support mechanism 3. The partition 2 is horizontally slidably engaged in the internal cavity of the toolbox body 1, and the stabilizing support mechanism 3 for supporting the partition 2 is located at the bottom of the partition 2.

[0023] The stabilizing support mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 31, a locking block 32, a sliding plate 33, a locking groove 34, a support plate 35, a support leg 36, and a linkage unit. The mounting plate 31 is fixed to one end of the bottom of the partition plate 2, and two are symmetrically arranged. The mounting plate 31 has a through mounting cavity. The locking block 32 is fixed to the top of the mounting cavity. The sliding plate 33 is slidably connected to the mounting cavity. The locking groove 34 is recessed in the top of the sliding plate 33. The locking block 32 is slidably engaged in the locking groove 34. The support plate 35 is fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate 33, and multiple support plates are arranged. The support leg 36 is rotatably connected to one of the support plates 35.

[0024] The linkage unit includes a linkage plate 37 and an adjusting rod 38. The support leg 36 has an L-shaped structure. The inflection point of the support leg 36 is rotatably connected to the support plate 35. The linkage plate 37 is rotatably connected to another support plate 35. The two ends of the adjusting rod 38 are rotatably connected between the support leg 36 and the linkage plate 37, respectively.

[0025] A docking plate 39 is fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate 33. A shaft is provided on the docking plate 39 and the linkage plate 37, and a return spring 310 is provided between two adjacent shafts.

[0026] In this utility model, the stabilizing support mechanism 3 enables the sliding plate 33 to be pulled out after the partition 2 is pulled out. The support leg 36 unfolds simultaneously when the sliding plate 33 is pulled out, providing effective support for the suspended end of the partition 2. This effectively disperses the concentrated load on the suspended section of the partition 2, preventing bending and deformation. Furthermore, the unfolded support leg 36 increases the contact area between the toolbox body 1 and the ground, dynamically adjusting the center of gravity of the box and reducing the risk of the box tipping over due to its large span or the handling of tools. The support leg 36 also features an embedded design, completely hidden at the bottom of the partition 2 when folded, without occupying extra space. This solves the problem of easy deformation and tipping caused by thin partitions and excessive size in traditional toolboxes, while also taking into account portability, safety, and expandability requirements. Example 2

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in addition to all the technical features included in Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes:

[0028] A stop plate 311 is fixed at the bottom of the sliding plate 33. The stop plate 311 abuts against one side of the support leg 36. The stop plate 311 limits the rotation range of the support leg 36 to prevent it from rotating too much and failing to effectively support the partition 2.

[0029] At least two sets of stabilizing support mechanisms 3 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the partition 2. The stability of the partition 2 after it is pulled out is improved by setting two sets of stabilizing support mechanisms 3.

[0030] The inner wall of the toolbox body 1 is fixed with a limiting seat 4. The limiting seat 4 has a U-shaped structure. The partition 2 is slidably engaged in the U-shaped groove of the limiting seat 4. The limiting seat 4 limits the partition 2 so that it can slide inside the toolbox body 1.

[0031] Working principle: When using this toolbox, if it is necessary to pull out the partition 2, after pulling out the partition 2, pull out the sliding plate 33 inside the mounting plate 31. After the sliding plate 33 is fully pulled out, the spring force of the return spring 310 pushes the linkage plate 37 to rotate. The linkage plate 37 drives the support leg 36 to rotate through the adjusting rod 38, so that the support leg 36 can be quickly unfolded and support the suspended end of the partition 2. When the support leg 36 is unfolded, one side of the support leg 36 abuts against the abutment plate 311 to limit its unfolding angle. When it is necessary to fold and store it, rotate the support leg 36 in the opposite direction to fold it to the bottom of the sliding plate 33, and then slide the sliding plate 33 into the mounting plate 31.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
