[0023] 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
[0024] Please see Figures 1-2 As shown, a folding toolbox includes a box body 1 with a lid 2 hinged to it. Inside the box body 1 are a first storage box 3 and a second storage box 4. Both the first and second storage boxes 3 and 4 have multiple compartments for storing various tools and accessories. First connecting rods 5 and second connecting rods 6 are hinged to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the box body 1, respectively. The ends of the two first connecting rods 5 away from the box body 1 are hinged to the front and rear sides of the first storage box 3, respectively. The middle portions of the two second connecting rods 6 are hinged to the front and rear sides of the first storage box 3, respectively. The ends of the two second connecting rods 6 away from the box body 1 are hinged to the front and rear sides of the second storage box 4, respectively. A third connecting rod 7 is hinged to the front and rear sides of the first storage box 3, respectively. The hinge of the storage box 3 is also hinged with a fourth link 8. The ends of the two third links 7 away from the first storage box 3 are respectively hinged to the front and rear sides of the second storage box 4. The ends of the two fourth links 8 away from the first storage box 3 are respectively hinged to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the lid 2. When the lid 2 is opened, the lid 2 pulls out the first storage box 3 through the two fourth links 8, causing the first storage box 3 to move to the upper left. The first storage box 3 drives the two first links 5 and the two second links 6 to swing counterclockwise. The two second links 6, in cooperation with the two third links 7, drive the second storage box 4 to move to the upper left, thereby achieving the effect of unfolding the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4. After unfolding the storage space, it is convenient for users to place and take out items.
[0025] This embodiment, through the arrangement of the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4, allows users to classify and place various tools and accessories through multiple compartments on the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4. The storage layout is clear and convenient to use, avoiding delays in work time due to the disorderly placement of tools and accessories during use. Furthermore, after the user opens the lid 2, the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4 can automatically unfold for easy use. Example 2
[0026] Please see Figures 1-5As shown, a charging assembly 9 is also provided inside the housing 1 to power the electrical tools inside the housing 1. The charging assembly 9 includes a battery 91, a wire 92, and an adapter 93. A shelf 10 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The battery 91 is installed between the bottom inner wall of the housing 1 and the bottom surface of the shelf 10. The adapter 93 is slidably installed on the right inner wall of the housing 1. The wire 92 connects the adapter 93 and the battery 91 and passes through the shelf 10. The adapter 93 is provided with multiple interfaces. The battery 91 is provided with a charging port that passes through the housing 1. A waterproof cover is provided on the charging port of the battery 91 to protect the charging port. The battery 91 is periodically charged through the charging port. The battery 91 is connected to the adapter via the wire 92. The adapter 93 is powered by multiple interfaces, including various commonly used power interfaces. When the user needs power, the power tool's cord is inserted into the appropriate interface to obtain power. Two fifth links 94 are hinged to the front and rear sides of the adapter 93, respectively. The ends of the two fifth links 94 away from the adapter 93 are hinged to two first links 5. When the lid 2 is opened, the first storage box 3 moves to the upper left, and the two first links 5 swing to the left. The two first links 5 drive the adapter 93 to move upward through the two fifth links 94. Conversely, when the lid 2 is closed, the adapter 93 moves downward to reset. The upward movement of the adapter 93 makes it easier for the user to use, and the downward movement of the adapter 93 avoids obstructing the movement trajectory of the first storage box 3.
[0027] Furthermore, a fixing plate 96 is fixedly installed on the top of the adapter 93, and a rotating plate 97 is rotatably installed on the top of the adapter 93. Multiple rubber blocks 99 are connected to the fixing plate 96 and the rotating plate 97 respectively. Two elastic sheets 98 connect between the fixing plate 96 and the rotating plate 97. A contact rod 95 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. When the rotating plate 97 moves, it contacts the contact rod 95. The multiple rubber blocks 99 on the fixing plate 96 are located above multiple interfaces on the adapter 93. The multiple rubber blocks 99 on the rotating plate 97 move... When the rotating plate 97 moves downward, it contacts multiple rubber blocks 99 on the fixed plate 96. After the rotating plate 97 moves downward, it contacts the abutment rod 95. The abutment rod 95 abuts against the left side of the rotating plate 97, so that the rotating plate 97 turns into a vertical state during the downward movement. When the rotating plate 97 is vertical, the multiple rubber blocks 99 on the rotating plate 97 abut against the multiple rubber blocks 99 on the fixed plate 96. The multiple rubber blocks 99 on the rotating plate 97 and the multiple rubber blocks 99 on the fixed plate 96 can respectively clamp the wires on the multiple interfaces of the adapter 93, so as to prevent them from falling off.
[0028] In addition, a cover plate 910 is rotatably installed on the right inner wall of the housing 1. A top block 911 is connected to the right inner wall of the housing 1 by a spring. The top block 911 abuts against the right side of the cover plate 910. The right side of the adapter 93 slides in contact with the left side of the cover plate 910. After the adapter 93 moves down, the top block 911 pushes the cover plate 910 to the left by the spring force, causing the cover plate 910 to swing downward by gravity. The cover plate 910 always stays on top of the fixed plate 96. When the power tool is not being charged, the cover plate 910 can protect multiple interfaces on top of the adapter 93.
[0029] In this embodiment, the charging component 9 enables the adapter 93 to power the power tool, improving convenience. The adapter 93 can also move upwards along with the first storage box 3, making it easier for the user to use. The multiple rubber blocks 99 on the rotating plate 97 and the multiple rubber blocks 99 on the fixing plate 96 can clamp and fix the wire, preventing the wire from falling off the interface due to shaking during transportation of the box 1. When the power tool is not being charged, the cover plate 910 can protect multiple interfaces on the top of the adapter 93.
[0030] In use, the folding toolbox of this utility model has multiple compartments on both the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4, which can separately store various tools and accessories. The interior of the box body 1 can also hold some larger items. When the lid 2 is opened, the lid 2 pulls out the first storage box 3 through two fourth connecting rods 8, causing the first storage box 3 to move to the upper left. The first storage box 3 drives the two first connecting rods 5 and the two second connecting rods 6 to swing counterclockwise. The two second connecting rods 6, in cooperation with the two third connecting rods 7, drive the second storage box 4 to move to the upper left. This achieves the effect of unfolding the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4. After unfolding the storage space, it is convenient for users to place and retrieve items. Through the setting of the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4, users can classify and place various tools and accessories through the multiple compartments on the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4. The storage layout is clear and convenient to use, avoiding delays in work time due to the disorganized placement of tools and accessories during use. Furthermore, the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4 can automatically unfold after the user opens the lid 2, making it convenient for the user to use.
[0031] Battery 91 is periodically charged via the charging port. Battery 91 supplies power to adapter 93 via wire 92. Adapter 93 has multiple interfaces, including various commonly used power interfaces. When the user needs power, they simply insert the power cord of the power tool into the appropriate interface to obtain power. When the lid 2 is open, the first storage box 3 moves to the upper left, causing the two first connecting rods 5 to swing to the left. The two first connecting rods 5, through the two fifth connecting rods 94, move adapter 93 upwards. Conversely, when the lid 2 is closed, adapter 93 moves downwards to its original position. Adapter 93 can move upwards along with the first storage box 3. When adapter 93 moves upwards, it is easier for the user to use; when adapter 93 moves downwards, it avoids obstructing the movement trajectory of the first storage box 3. Furthermore, when the user closes the case 2 while charging the power tool, the adapter 93 moves down along with the first storage box 3, which also reduces the pulling on the power tool's power cord. When the case 2 is closed while the power tool is charging, the adapter 93 moves down, causing the fixing plate 96 and the rotating plate 97 to move down as well. After the rotating plate 97 moves down, it contacts the abutment rod 95, which abuts against the left side of the rotating plate 97, causing the rotating plate 97 to turn into a vertical position during its downward movement. When the rotating plate 97 is vertical, the multiple rubber blocks 99 on the rotating plate 97 abut against the multiple rubber blocks 99 on the fixing plate 96. The multiple rubber blocks 99 on the rotating plate 97 and the multiple rubber blocks 99 on the fixing plate 96 can respectively clamp multiple interfaces on the adapter 93. The power cord on the adapter 93 is clamped and secured by multiple rubber blocks 99 on the rotating plate 97 and the fixing plate 96, preventing the power cord from detaching from the interface due to shaking during transport. When the adapter 93 moves upward, the fixing plate 96 causes the cover 910 to flip upward, eventually fitting between the right inner wall of the housing 1 and the right outer wall of the adapter 93. After the adapter 93 moves downward, the top block 911 pushes the cover 910 to the left by the spring force, causing the cover 910 to swing downward under gravity. The cover 910 always remains on top of the fixing plate 96. When not charging the power tool, the cover 910 can clamp and secure multiple power cords on top of the adapter 93. The interface is protected. When a wire is plugged into the interface, the cover 910 stops swinging due to the wire's obstruction, thus not hindering charging. The charging component 9 enables the adapter 93 to power the power tool, improving convenience. The adapter 93 can also move upwards with the first storage box 3, making it easier for the user to use. The multiple rubber blocks 99 on the rotating plate 97 and the fixing plate 96 work together to clamp and fix the wire, preventing the wire from falling off the interface due to shaking during transport. When the power tool is not being charged, the cover 910 can protect multiple interfaces on top of the adapter 93.
[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the present utility model. The patent protection scope of the present utility model should be defined by the claims.
