[0030] This utility model provides a toolbox 100. For details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1 to 2 In this embodiment, the toolbox 100 includes a box body 1 and a hanging structure 2 disposed on the outside of the box body 1. At least a portion of the hanging structure 2 encloses a hanging cavity, and one side of the hanging cavity is open, so that an external hook can extend into the hanging cavity from the open side of the hanging cavity and form a stop-fitting engagement with at least one side wall forming the hanging cavity in the vertical direction, so that the box body 1 is fixed on the external hook.

[0031] In this embodiment, the toolbox 100 can be hung and fixed as a whole by the hanging structure 2. On the one hand, the toolbox 100 is suspended in the air, which is convenient for cleaning and does not occupy too much floor space. On the other hand, the toolbox 100 can be kept at the user's preset ideal height, making it more convenient to use the tools. Moreover, at least part of the hanging structure 2 encloses a hanging cavity, and at least one side of the hanging cavity is open, so that an external hook can be inserted into the hanging cavity from the open side. The hook arm abuts against and restricts the toolbox body 1 by abutting against at least one side wall of the hanging cavity, thereby preventing the toolbox 100 from falling under its own weight and fixing the toolbox 100 at a certain height. When removing the toolbox 100, it can be removed from the external hook from the open side of its hanging cavity. The toolbox 100 is easy to put in and take out, and it takes up less ground space. When working at height, the toolbox 100 can be better secured, resulting in better stability and safety.

[0032] Understandably, commonly used hooks are generally L-shaped or curved. Taking an L-shaped hook as an example, the hook has a first hanging arm and a second hanging arm connected together. The first hanging arm is used to connect and fix it to a wall or cabinet wall, and the second hanging arm is located at the end of the first hanging arm and extends laterally along the first hanging arm. The second hanging arm extends into the hanging cavity of the toolbox 100 to fix the toolbox 100 from the side. It should also be noted that the above-mentioned vertical direction is not limited to a direction completely perpendicular to the ground, but can also be a direction inclined at a certain angle along the up and down direction.

[0033] The location of the open side of the holding cavity varies depending on the type of hook. For example, when the first arm of an L-shaped hook is horizontal and the second arm extends upward from the first arm, the open side of the holding cavity can be located at the bottom, allowing the second arm to extend into the holding cavity from the bottom and abut against the first and / or second arm through the cavity's sidewall, thereby securing the box body 1. Alternatively, when the first arm of an L-shaped hook is horizontal and the second arm extends horizontally to the left or right from the first arm, the open side of the holding cavity can be positioned to the right or left, allowing the second arm to abut against the cavity's top sidewall after extending into the holding cavity.

[0034] Preferably, the open side of the hanging cavity is located at the bottom of the hanging cavity, which makes it easier to take it off and put it on the hook.

[0035] It should be noted that the shape and size of the toolbox 100 are not specifically limited and can be reasonably set according to usage requirements. Preferably, such asFigure 1 As shown, the toolbox 100 is generally rectangular in shape, having a top wall 11, a bottom wall, a front side wall, a rear side wall, a left side wall, and a right side wall. When the toolbox 100 is in normal use, the bottom wall faces downwards and the top wall 11 faces upwards. All descriptions of orientation in this utility model can be referenced accordingly. For ease of explanation, the following description uses an L-shaped hook as an example, with the open side of the hanging cavity facing downwards. Other configurations can be adapted accordingly.

[0036] The hanging structure 2 is integrally formed with the box body 1. The box body 1 and the hanging structure 2 can be integrally molded, which simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces assembly steps, and increases the overall strength of the box body 1.

[0037] It is understood that the hanging structure 2 can be set on any one or any multiple sides of the box body 1 to ensure the stability of the toolbox 100.

[0038] Preferably, the hanging structure 2 is provided on at least one peripheral side of the box body 1 to facilitate up-and-down retrieval and placement, making the toolbox 100 easier to retrieve and place.

[0039] Specifically, regarding the hanging structure 2, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the hanging structure 2 includes a first outer wall 21 and a first inner wall 22 disposed inside the first outer wall 21. Both the first outer wall 21 and the first inner wall 22 are connected to the box body 1, and are at least partially spaced apart to form the hanging cavity. By arranging the first outer wall 21 and the first inner wall 22 at intervals to form the hanging cavity, the structure is simpler, making the mold structure simpler when the box body 1 is integrally molded, thereby reducing costs.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first outer wall 21 forms the outer side wall of the box body 1, and the first inner wall 22 forms the inner cavity wall of the box body 1. The first inner wall 22 includes a first wall segment 221 that is spaced apart from the first outer wall 21, and a second wall segment 222 disposed at both ends of the first wall segment 221. The two second wall segments 222 are respectively connected to both ends of the first outer wall 21, so that the first outer wall 21 and the first inner wall 22 form a complete ring connection, which is more reliable in strength.

[0041] Preferably, the hanging structure 2 is located on the rear side of the box body 1, so that the front side of the box body 1 can be configured as the opening side of the box body 1. When the toolbox 100 is hung on the hook, it can be operated in an open state, making the operation more efficient and convenient. The first outer wall 21 forms the rear side wall of the box body 1 and extends along the left and right directions of the box body 1. The first outer wall 21 is smoothly connected to the left and right side walls of the box body 1. The first inner wall 22 is recessed inside the first outer wall 21. The first outer wall 21 and the first wall segment 221 both extend along the left and right directions. The two second wall segments 222 are inclined to connect the first outer wall 21 and the first wall segment 221. While ensuring that the overall volume of the toolbox 100 remains unchanged, the hanging structure 2 provides more stable support, and the toolbox 100 is easy to put on and take off.

[0042] The top of the hanging cavity can be open or closed. Preferably, the top wall 11 of the box body 1 connects the top of the first outer wall 21 and the top of the first inner wall 22, and the bottom of the first outer wall 21 and the bottom of the first inner wall 22 form the open side of the hanging cavity. Connecting the first outer wall 21 and the first inner wall 22 through the top wall 11 of the box body 1 makes the overall appearance of the toolbox 100 more aesthetically pleasing and smooth, and also improves the strength of the first outer wall 21 and the first inner wall 22, ensuring a stable hanging and fixing effect. When hanging, the second hanging arm of the hook extends into the bottom of the first outer wall 21 and the first inner wall 22, so that the inner side of the first outer wall 21 can abut against the second hanging arm to restrict the toolbox 100 from moving in the front-back direction relative to the hook. Moreover, the bottom of the first outer wall 21 also abuts against the first hanging arm, thereby restricting the toolbox 100 from moving downward relative to the hook, so that the toolbox 100 is fixed on the hook.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first outer wall 21 extends laterally along the main body 1 of the box, where "lateral" refers to any direction in the horizontal direction. For example, when the hanging structure 2 is provided on the left side wall of the main body 1, the first outer wall 21 may extend in the front-back direction. When the hanging structure 2 is provided on the rear side wall of the main body 1, the first outer wall 21 may extend in the left-right direction.

[0044] Moreover, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the hanging structure 2 also includes two side baffles 23 arranged at relative intervals along the transverse direction of the box body 1. The two side baffles 23 are connected between the first outer wall 21 and the first inner wall 22 to restrict the toolbox 100 to the transverse sides of the external hook. The two side baffles 23 can further abut against the left and right sides of the hook, which can further prevent the toolbox 100 from shaking in the left and right direction, so that the toolbox 100 is completely limited relative to the hook, ensuring the stability of the toolbox 100.

[0045] In one implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the side wall 23 may be a sheet-like structure extending along the vertical direction of the box body 1, so as to connect between the first outer wall 21 and the first inner wall 22.

[0046] In another embodiment, the side baffle 23 may be a plurality of limiting segments arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the box body 1, which can also abut against the two sides of the limiting position of the hook.

[0047] The side baffle 23 is provided in a manner including but not limited to the above, which should make the toolbox 100 structure simpler and easier to manufacture molds.

[0048] Furthermore, the two side walls 23 form a set of side wall groups, and multiple sets of side wall groups are provided. The multiple sets of side wall groups are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first outer wall 21. The multiple sets of side walls 23 are hung on multiple hooks in a one-to-one correspondence, so that there are more support and positioning points for the toolbox 100, and the stability of the fixation is further improved.

[0049] In the vertical direction along the box body 1, the length of each side baffle 23 is the same as the length of the first inner wall 22. The strength of the first inner wall 22 can be increased by multiple side baffles 23, thereby ensuring the strength of the side wall of the toolbox 100 and ensuring the reliability of the toolbox.

[0050] Furthermore, at least a portion of each of the side walls 23 is exposed outside the first outer wall 21, and each of the side walls 23 has a chamfer at the end facing away from the first outer wall 21, so as to better match the peripheral side walls of the box body 1 and avoid forming sharp corners, thus preventing scratches.

[0051] In addition, along the vertical direction of the box body 1, the length of the first outer wall 21 is less than the length of the first inner wall 22, so that the first outer wall 21 and the first inner wall 22 are easier to demold during mold making, thereby ensuring the strength of the first outer wall 21 and the first inner wall 22.

[0052] Preferably, in the vertical direction along the box body 1, the length of the first outer wall 21 is greater than or equal to 1 / 3 of the length of the first inner wall 22. This ensures that there is sufficient fastening distance between the second arm of the hook and the first outer wall 21, preventing the toolbox 100 from tipping over and falling off, and ensuring that the toolbox 100 is more stably hung on the hook.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure made using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
