Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, specifically to a toolbox for a loader cab and a loader. Background Technology

[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Loaders are common heavy-duty engineering equipment, mainly used in various construction sites, mines, and ports for loading and transporting various bulk materials such as sand, stones, and coal. They possess powerful loading capacity, efficiently completing large-scale loading and unloading work, greatly improving construction and production efficiency. Loaders are often designed with an internal toolbox to carry commonly used basic tools for quick access in case of emergencies. However, in the hot summer, operators need cool water and air conditioning to combat the discomfort caused by the high temperatures. Existing toolboxes often only serve a single function of storing tools and lack the functionality of a refrigerator. Installing a refrigerator in the loader's cab would have several drawbacks: firstly, it would obstruct the driver's view, posing a safety risk; secondly, it would occupy cab space, affecting operational comfort; and thirdly, the power connection could pose a safety hazard due to the bumpy working environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a toolbox for a loader cab and a loader, which can at least solve one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, one or more embodiments of this utility model provide a toolbox for a loader cab, including a toolbox body and a toolbox door connected to the toolbox body by a hinge. The upper part of the toolbox body is provided with a storage box, and the lower part is provided with a drawer. The drawer is connected to the toolbox body by a guide rail, and an air hole communicating with the air duct of the loader's air conditioner is provided on the upper side of the position where the guide rail is installed.

[0006] Furthermore, the air vent is connected to the air duct of the loader's air conditioning system via a pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, a set of gourd-shaped cup holders is provided on the top of the outer side of the toolbox body.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the toolbox body is bolted to the bottom platform of the cab.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the toolbox body away from the toolbox door is connected to the rear interior trim of the loader cab via a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0010] Furthermore, the toolbox door and the toolbox body are connected by a hinged hinge and secured with a door lock.

[0011] Furthermore, a sealing strip is provided on the connection surface between the toolbox door and the toolbox body.

[0012] Furthermore, the drawer has a triangular prism-shaped groove on the side that is pulled outwards.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner surface of the drawer is provided with a layer of thermal insulation material.

[0014] Another aspect of this disclosure provides a loader that includes the toolbox for the loader cab described above.

[0015] The beneficial effects of one or more of the above technical solutions are as follows:

[0016] This invention utilizes an air vent on the drawer inside the toolbox that connects to the loader's air conditioning duct. This allows for the introduction of either cool or warm air from the air conditioning system into the drawer when it is running. Consequently, the temperature inside the drawer differs from the outside temperature, achieving a function similar to a vehicle refrigerator. This fully utilizes the loader's existing air conditioning system, transforming the toolbox into a temporary storage space. By using the air conditioning system for cooling or heating, users can conveniently preserve perishable items or refrigerate beverages while driving, thus enhancing the loader's versatility and practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The accompanying drawings, which form part of this application, are used to provide a further understanding of this application. The illustrative embodiments of this application and their descriptions are used to explain this application and do not constitute a limitation thereof.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a front view of the overall structure in one or more embodiments of the present invention;

[0019] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the needle holder in one or more embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] In the picture, 1. Toolbox body; 2. Water cup holder; 3. Storage box; 4. Guide rail; 5. Door lock; 6. Toolbox door; 7. Drawer; 8. Air vent. Detailed Implementation

[0021] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a toolbox for a loader cab and a loader, including a toolbox body 1 and a toolbox door 6 connected to the toolbox body 1 by a hinge.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, a set of gourd-shaped cup holders 2 are provided on the top of the outer side of the toolbox body 1 for the operator to place cups or other items. The bottom of the toolbox body 1 is connected to the bottom platform of the cab by bolts, which ensures the stability and safety of the toolbox in the loader cab and prevents it from loosening or falling off during the operation of the loader.

[0023] The end of the toolbox body 1 furthest from the toolbox door 6 is connected to the rear interior trim of the loader cab via a snap-fit, making full use of the cab space while ensuring the toolbox's convenience and operability. This design allows for easy storage and retrieval of tools without compromising the cab's interior layout or operator comfort.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a storage box 3 is provided in the upper part of the toolbox body 1 for storing various small tools or accessories. A drawer 7 is provided in the lower part of the toolbox body 1 and is tightly connected to the inside of the toolbox body 1 by a guide rail 4 to ensure the smooth sliding of the drawer 7 and to withstand a large weight, thus ensuring the durability and practicality of the toolbox.

[0025] Above the mounting rail 4 of drawer 7, there is an air vent 8 that connects to the air duct inside the loader's air conditioning system. The air vent 8 is connected to the loader's air conditioning system via a pipe, allowing for air circulation. On the outside of drawer 7, the side that pulls outwards, there is a triangular prism-shaped groove to better secure drawer 7, making it easier to pull out and push in. Simultaneously, the inside of drawer 7 is designed with a layer of insulation material to prevent the leakage of cold air from the air conditioning system. When the drawer is pulled out, the insulation layer effectively blocks the loss of cold air, thus maintaining a relatively constant temperature inside the drawer.

[0026] By adjusting the air conditioning system, the temperature inside the toolbox is maintained, making full use of the loader's existing air conditioning system and transforming the existing toolbox into a temporary storage room. The air conditioning system can be used for cooling or heating, making it convenient for users to store perishable items or refrigerate beverages while driving.

[0027] The toolbox door 6 and the toolbox body 1 are connected by a flip-up and down mechanism and are secured with a door lock 5. The door can be firmly fixed to the toolbox body 1 by the door lock 5 to prevent accidental opening during transportation or use. In addition, a sealing strip is provided on the connection surface between the toolbox door 6 and the toolbox body 1 to effectively prevent dust, moisture and other external substances from entering the toolbox.

[0028] This utility model also provides an excavator, which includes the toolbox for the loader cab described above.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] To use, open the door lock 5 on the toolbox body 1, then flip the toolbox door 6 downwards until it is fully open and parallel to the platform surface of the cab. Then, take out the required items from the drawer 7 or storage box 3 inside the toolbox body 1. At the same time, the connection with the air conditioning pipes allows the internal temperature of the toolbox to be adjusted. When the air conditioning is cooling, the temperature inside the toolbox will decrease, and vice versa.

[0031] Although the specific embodiments of the present utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort based on the technical solution of the present utility model are still within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
