Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a storage box, specifically, a hardware product classification storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Hardware tools are widely used and are indispensable in the equipment commonly used in daily life. The hardware in modern society is quite extensive, including hardware tools, hardware parts, daily hardware, building hardware, and security products. In daily use, they usually need to be classified and stored for easy retrieval later. When storing hardware tools, storage boxes are needed.

[0003] When maintenance personnel carry handheld hardware tools (such as screwdrivers and wrenches) to repair equipment, they usually use commercially available multi-folding toolboxes. These toolboxes serve to store hardware tools, with multiple independent compartments for easy categorization and retrieval by tool type. However, during disassembly and assembly operations, some operators habitually toss excess screws into the toolbox without noting their purpose or returning them to their original positions. Others retain a large number of unused screws (such as those removed from old equipment) out of concern for running out of screws. These screws are rarely used, and without regular cleaning, they accumulate, taking up storage space for other hardware tools. Currently, cleaning these screws requires removing the hardware tools from the toolbox and using a magnet to attract ferromagnetic screws. For screws made of non-ferromagnetic materials, they must be picked out individually. This process is time-consuming and increases the workload of maintenance personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hardware product classification and storage box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art above:

[0005] When maintenance personnel clean the screws in the toolbox, they must first remove the hardware tools from the box, and then use a magnet to attract the ferromagnetic screws. For screws made of non-ferromagnetic materials, they must pick them out one by one, a process that takes a lot of time.

[0006] To address the above problems, this utility model aims to provide a hardware product classification and storage box, including a base box. Several side boxes are stacked on the upper side wall of the base box near both sides. When two side boxes are in the unfolded state, they combine with the base box to form a stepped structure. A drawer is slidably installed on the bottom side inside the base box. A side window is opened on one side of the base box corresponding to the drawer. One end of the drawer passes through the side window and extends outward. A limiting component is provided on one side of the base box above the side window. The limiting component is used to restrict the relative movement between the drawer and the base box. A through groove is opened on the bottom side of the side box near the middle of the base box. The width of the through groove is adapted to the size of the screw. When two side boxes are combined with the base box to form a stepped structure, the through groove on the upper side is located above the opening of the side box or the base box below it.

[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a baffle is hinged to one side of the side box near the middle of the bottom box. When the side of the baffle away from the hinge is below the hinge point and in a vertical state, the baffle blocks the corresponding passage groove. When the side of the baffle away from the hinge is above the hinge point, the passage groove is unobstructed.

[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a locking mechanism is provided on one side of the side box above the baffle. When the baffle is in a vertical state, the locking mechanism fixes the position of the baffle.

[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, grooves are symmetrically provided in the middle position on both sides of the baffle. The locking mechanism includes a sleeve corresponding to the two grooves. An extension plate is vertically fixed on the upper side wall of the sleeve. A guide sleeve is slidably sleeved on the extension plate. The guide sleeve is fixedly mounted on the side box by bolts.

[0010] As a further improvement to this technical solution, when the baffle is in a vertical state, the sleeve is fitted onto the baffle, and the two ends of the sleeve are respectively inserted into the interior of the two grooves.

[0011] As a further improvement to this technical solution, when the side of the baffle away from the hinge is located above the hinge point and in a vertical state, the gap between the side of the baffle away from the hinge and the guide sleeve is greater than the height of the sleeve.

[0012] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the limiting component includes two rotating plates that are rotatably disposed on one side of the bottom box near the edge. When one end of the drawer is inside the side window, the other end of the drawer contacts the inner wall of the bottom box. At this time, the end of the rotating plate away from the bottom box connection contacts the outer wall of the part of the drawer inside the side window.

[0013] As a further improvement to this technical solution, when the side box is in a folded state, a gap is formed between the two side boxes at the same height, and the width of the gap is greater than the total thickness of the two baffles when they are stacked.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This hardware product categorization and storage box, after moving the four side boxes to the unfolded state, allows you to remove the hand tools (excluding screws) stored in the side boxes and bottom box. Then, the locking mechanism locks the baffle in a position that allows the passageway to pass through. Afterward, lift the storage boxes near the two sides of the side boxes upward at a certain angle, causing the screws inside the upper side box to fall through the passageway into the lower side box or bottom box under the influence of gravity. Continue until all the unused screws are collected in the drawer. Finally, rotate the two rotating plates to the position where they are no longer in contact with the drawer, and then pull the drawer out of the bottom box through the side window. Pour the screws from the drawer into a pre-designated container. This completes the quick collection and cleaning of unused screws. Operators do not need to remove the screws from the storage box one by one, reducing workload. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a hardware product classification and storage box, including a base box 1. Several side boxes 2 are stacked on the upper side wall of the base box 1 near both sides, with two side boxes 2 on each layer. The base box 1 and the side boxes 2 are both set with their openings facing upwards. The side boxes 2 and the base box 1, as well as the two side boxes 2, are hinged to each other by parallel hinge rods. The storage box composed of the base box 1 and the side boxes 2 is a mature product that can be purchased on the market. These side boxes 2 have a folding function. The specific folding principle will not be described in detail here. The base box 1 and the four side boxes 2 are used to store different types of hardware tools, thereby realizing the classification and storage of various hardware tools.

[0032] When the two side boxes 2 are in the unfolded state, they combine with the base box 1 to form a stepped structure. A drawer 3 is slidably installed on the bottom side inside the base box 1. The size of the drawer 3 is adapted to the internal space of the base box 1. The drawer 3 is used to store hardware tools located inside the base box 1. A side window 11 is provided on one side of the base box 1 corresponding to the drawer 3. One end of the drawer 3 passes through the side window 11 and extends outwards. (Note: The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a different context.) Figure 5 A through groove 21 is provided on the bottom side of the side box 2 near the middle of the bottom box 1. The width of the through groove 21 is adapted to the size of the screw. When the two side boxes 2 and the bottom box 1 are combined to form a stepped structure, the through groove 21 on the upper side is located above the opening of the side box 2 or the bottom box 1 below it.

[0033] When using this storage box to carry hardware tools for disassembling and assembling equipment, some operators carelessly throw excess screws into the storage box without recording their purpose or putting them back in their original positions. In addition, some operators keep a large number of idle screws (such as those removed from old equipment) because they are worried about not having enough screws. However, these screws are rarely used in practice. If they are not cleaned regularly, a large number of idle screws will accumulate in the side box 2 and the bottom box 1, taking up storage space for other hardware tools.

[0034] When it is necessary to remove unused screws from side boxes 2 and bottom box 1, the operator first moves the four side boxes 2 to the unfolded state, then takes out the larger hand tools from the side boxes 2 and bottom box 1, and then lifts the entire storage box up one by one near the two sides of the side boxes 2, so that the bottom inside the side boxes 2 is in a tilted state. The screws inside the upper side box 2 fall into the lower side box 2 or bottom box 1 under the action of gravity, and then continue to fall into the drawer 3 through the lower side passage 21. In this way, all the unused screws are concentrated in the drawer 3. Finally, the drawer 3 is pulled out from the bottom box 1 through the side window 11, and the screws in the drawer 3 are poured into a predetermined container, thus completing the collection of screws.

[0035] To prevent drawer 3 from accidentally sliding out of the base box 1 during the transport of storage boxes, a limiting component is provided on one side of the base box 1 above the side window 11. This limiting component restricts the relative movement between drawer 3 and the base box 1. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 The limiting component includes two rotating plates 4 that are rotatably disposed on one side of the base box 1 near the edge. When one end of the drawer 3 is inside the side window 11, the other end of the drawer 3 contacts the inner wall of the base box 1. At this time, the end of the rotating plate 4 away from the connection of the base box 1 contacts the outer wall of the part of the drawer 3 inside the side window 11. The rotating plate 4 and the inner wall of the base box 1 cooperate to prevent the drawer 3 from moving horizontally, thereby preventing the drawer 3 from accidentally sliding out of the base box 1 and causing the hardware tools to leak.

[0036] When it is necessary to pull drawer 3 out of the base box 1, the operator rotates the two rotating plates 4 upward around their hinge axis with the base box 1 in turn until the rotating plates 4 are no longer in contact with drawer 3. Then, the operator puts their hand into the inner cavity of the base box 1 and pushes the inner side of drawer 3 to move part of drawer 3 out of the base box 1. Then, the operator grabs the part of drawer 3 that is outside the base box 1 and pulls it out as a whole, so that the screws in drawer 3 can be emptied out.

[0037] When the operator only temporarily stores the disassembled screws in the side box 2 and needs to retrieve them again in a short time, in order to prevent the screws in the side box 2 from accidentally falling into other side boxes 2 or bottom boxes 1 through the passage 21 due to external vibration of the storage box, causing difficulty in retrieval, a baffle 5 is hinged on the side of the side box 2 near the middle of the bottom box 1. When the side of the baffle 5 away from the hinge is below the hinge point and in a vertical state, the baffle 5 blocks the corresponding passage 21. When the side of the baffle 5 away from the hinge is above the hinge point, the passage 21 is unobstructed. At the same time, a locking mechanism 6 is provided on one side of the side box 2 above the baffle 5. When the baffle 5 is in a vertical state, the locking mechanism 6 fixes the position of the baffle 5.

[0038] When there is no need to clean the screws inside the side box 2, the locking mechanism 6 locks the baffle 5 in a position that can block the passage groove 21. At this time, the temporarily stored screws will not be transferred to other side boxes 2 or bottom boxes 1 through the passage groove 21, making it convenient for operators to take them at any time. When it is necessary to clean the screws inside the side box 2, the locking mechanism 6 locks the baffle 5 in a position that allows the passage groove 21 to be unobstructed, so that the screws inside the side box 2 can be poured out through the passage groove 21.

[0039] Grooves 51 are symmetrically provided at the middle position on both sides of the baffle 5. The structure of the locking mechanism 6 is described in detail below, referring to... Figure 4 and Figure 6 The locking mechanism 6 includes a sleeve 61 corresponding to the two grooves 51. The sleeve 61 has an n-shaped structure. An extension plate 62 is vertically fixed on the upper side wall of the sleeve 61. A guide sleeve 63 is slidably sleeved on the extension plate 62. The guide sleeve 63 is fixed on the side box 2 by bolts. The extension plate 62 and the guide sleeve 63 cooperate to constrain the movement direction of the sleeve 61. At the same time, the guide sleeve 63 and the baffle 5 cooperate to restrict the movement path of the sleeve 61, preventing the sleeve 61 from disengaging from the guide sleeve 63, ensuring the long-term reliable operation of the locking mechanism 6. When the side of the baffle 5 away from the hinge is above the hinge point and in a vertical state, the gap between the side of the baffle 5 away from the hinge point and the guide sleeve 63 is greater than the height of the sleeve 61, so as to prevent the sleeve 61 from blocking the baffle 5 from rotating upward to this state.

[0040] When the side of the baffle 5 away from the hinge is below the hinge point and in a vertical state, the sleeve 61 is fitted onto the baffle 5, and the two ends of the sleeve 61 are respectively inserted into the two grooves 51. At this time, the sleeve 61 prevents the baffle 5 from rotating around its hinge point with the side box 2, thereby locking the baffle 5 in the position of blocking the passage groove 21.

[0041] When it is necessary to release the blockage of the passageway 21 by the baffle 5, the operator moves the sleeve 61 upwards to disengage it from the baffle 5 until the sleeve 61 is in contact with the guide sleeve 63. Then, the baffle 5 is rotated upwards around its hinge point with the side box 2 until the side of the baffle 5 away from the hinge point is rotated above the hinge point and the baffle 5 is in a vertical position. Next, the operator moves the sleeve 61 downwards until its two ends are inserted back into the two grooves 51, thereby re-locking the position of the baffle 5 and keeping the passageway 21 unobstructed.

[0042] When the side box 2 is folded, a gap is formed between the two side boxes 2 at the same height. The width of this gap is greater than the total thickness of the two baffles 5 when they are stacked, thereby preventing the baffles 5 from obstructing the folding of the side box 2 and ensuring the normal use of the storage box.

[0043] When using this device, if it is necessary to clean out the unused screws in the side boxes 2 and the bottom box 1, the operator should first move several side boxes 2 to the unfolded state, then take out the larger hand tools stored in the side boxes 2 and the bottom box 1, and then lock the baffle 5 in the position that allows the passage groove 21 to pass through using the locking mechanism 6. After that, the operator lifts the storage boxes on both sides of the side boxes 2 upwards in sequence, so that the screws inside the upper side box 2 fall into the lower side box 2 or bottom box 1 under the action of gravity, until all the unused screws are collected in the drawer 3. Finally, the operator rotates the two rotating plates 4 upwards around their hinge axis with the bottom box 1 in sequence until the rotating plates 4 are disengaged from the drawer 3. Then, the drawer 3 is pulled out from the bottom box 1 through the side window 11, and the screws in the drawer 3 are poured into a predetermined container, thus completing the cleaning of the unused screws.

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
