[0002] Handheld tool baskets are common storage and transport tools, widely used in homes, workshops, and outdoor work environments. Traditional tool baskets are typically made of plastic or metal, with a relatively simple structure consisting of a basket body and a fixed handle. However, existing designs have revealed the following technical shortcomings in practical use:

[0003] Conventional handles are typically fixed to the side wall of the basket by riveting or welding, which can easily lead to loosening or even breakage under long-term weight. Some detachable handles use screws for fastening, which is convenient for replacement, but the installation process is cumbersome, and the screws are prone to rust or falling off. In addition, traditional tool baskets lack flexible internal compartments, making it inconvenient to access tools if they are mixed together. Furthermore, the basket structure is simple and cannot be expanded by combining multiple baskets as needed. The stacking or side-by-side connection of existing tool baskets mostly relies on simple snap-fit ​​connections, which have poor connection stability and cannot achieve multi-directional expansion, limiting the flexibility of use scenarios and making it difficult to adapt to the capacity requirements of different scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a portable tool basket that combines structural stability, modular functionality, and easy expansion to meet the needs of diverse usage scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a portable tool basket includes a basket body 1 and a handle assembly. The handle assembly includes a handle base 22 and a handle 21 fixed on the handle base 22. The handle base 22 has downwardly extending hooks 221 at both ends. The middle of the basket body 1 is recessed inward, and a connecting plate is provided in the recess. The side wall of the basket body 1 divides the connecting plate into an outer splicing plate 13 and an inner insertion plate 14. The inner insertion plate 14 also has a through hole 15. The handle base 22 spans the basket body 1, and both ends are inserted into the through hole 15 through the hooks 221, realizing quick installation and removal of the handle without the need for screws or other fasteners. Users can operate it by hand, simplifying the maintenance or replacement process.

[0031] The shape of the area enclosed by the side wall of the basket body 1 and the inner insert plate 14 is the same as the shape of the end of the handle seat 22. This structure can achieve precise positioning, prevent the handle seat from shifting, and enhance connection stability; at the same time, it makes the force at the connection between the handle seat and the basket body uniform, and the shape matching between the two can distribute stress and reduce the risk of local wear; in addition, it can also achieve a unified appearance, hide the connection gap, and improve the overall aesthetics.

[0032] At least two limiting ridges 18 are spaced apart on the inner wall of the basket body 1, and a partition 3 is inserted between the two limiting ridges 18. Users can adjust the position of the partition according to the tool size to avoid mixing tools and achieve flexible partitioning of the internal space of the tool basket. A waterproof hole is provided at the bottom of the basket body 1, and a plug 4 is inserted into the waterproof hole; multiple water passage holes are evenly arranged on the partition 3. The bottom water hole, in conjunction with the plug, achieves drainage, and the water passage holes of the partition do not affect the drainage function when the tool basket is partitioned.

[0033] The outer splicing panel 13 is also provided with a tool slot 17, which supports the upright insertion of tools. The above structure utilizes the side wall space to store long-handled tools (such as screwdrivers), which improves space utilization. The exposed tools are easy to identify and retrieve, which optimizes the retrieval efficiency. In addition, it achieves structural compatibility: the slot design does not affect the splicing function.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, each end of one side of the basket body 1 is provided with a locking block 11, and each end of the other side of the basket body 1 is provided with a connecting slot 12. Two basket bodies 1 are connected to each other through the interlocking of the locking block 11 and the connecting slot 12, realizing the horizontal splicing of multiple basket bodies. Users can combine multiple baskets according to their needs to adapt to different capacity requirements; and the multi-point locking design prevents misalignment or detachment, ensuring a stable connection; at the same time, the plug-in design requires no additional tools, is plug-and-play, and is easy to operate.

[0035] As a further preferred option: the outer splicing plate 13 is also provided with through holes 15, and the two sides of the handle base 22 are also provided with hooks 221. The hooks 221 on both sides are respectively engaged with the through holes 15 on the two outer splicing plates 13, supporting the installation of the handle across the basket; at the same time, structural consistency is achieved: the through hole and hook design are reused to reduce production complexity; the handle covers multiple splicing baskets, and multiple baskets work together to bear the load: improving the overall handling capacity.

[0036] The shape of the area enclosed by the side wall of the basket body 1 and the outer splicing plate 13 is the same as the shape of one side of the handle seat 22. The above structure avoids stress concentration, extends service life, improves connection strength, and the specific shape restricts the incorrect installation direction of the handle seat; after splicing, the handle and the appearance of the basket body are seamlessly connected.

[0037] The outer splicing plate 13 is also provided with a notch 16. The notches 16 of the two outer splicing plates 13 are joined together to form a through hole 15. The hook 221 at the end of the handle 22 is inserted into the through hole 15. The notch splicing ensures that the through holes are aligned when multiple baskets are spliced ​​together; at the same time, the end and both sides of the handle are fixed by insertion, making the overall connection more secure.

[0038] In summary, this utility model adopts a modular design: through the design of card blocks / plug slots, detachable partitions and splicing plates, it realizes flexible expansion of functions and capacity; at the same time, the handle assembly and the basket body adopt multiple designs such as hook-through holes and shape matching to ensure a stable connection and excellent load-bearing capacity; this utility model systematically solves the problems of single function and poor expandability of traditional tool baskets, and has high market competitiveness.
