[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the toolbox 100 according to one embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A disassembled schematic diagram of a toolbox 100. This embodiment of the utility model provides a toolbox 100, which includes a box body 10 and a handle 20. The box body 10 includes a housing 11 and a side plate 12, with the side plate 12 disposed on one side of the housing 11. The housing 11 is used to accommodate tools. The handle 20 includes a traction end 21 and a connecting end 22. The connecting end 22 is disposed between the housing 11 and the side plate 12. One of the connecting end 22 and the housing 11 has a positioning hole 221, and the other has a first protrusion 111. The first protrusion 111 cooperates with the positioning hole 221. The traction end 21 is used for the user to apply pulling force to drive the box body 10 to move.
[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first protrusion 111 is disposed on the housing 11, the positioning hole 221 is formed on the connecting end 22, the traction end 21 is connected to the connecting end 22, the traction end 21 is annular, and the annular traction end 21 forms a hollow portion. The first protrusion 111 is cylindrical, and the size of the first protrusion 111 is adapted to the positioning hole 221. The first protrusion 111 passes through the positioning hole 221, and the side plate 12 covers the first protrusion 111 and the positioning hole 221. It should be understood that in some other embodiments, the first protrusion 111 is disposed on the connecting end 22, and the positioning hole 221 is formed on the housing 11.
[0030] Understandably, the hollow portion of the traction end 21 allows the user's hand to pass through, thus facilitating the user's carrying of the toolbox 100. The hollow portion of the traction end 21 also allows the user to easily hang the toolbox 100 on other items. The side plate 12 covers the first protrusion 111 and the positioning hole 221, ensuring that the connection point between the connecting end 22 and the housing 11 is not exposed to the external environment.
[0031] The toolbox 100 of this embodiment has two aspects. First, the housing 11 is used to hold tools, and the handle 20 is connected to the housing 11. The user can apply a pulling force to the housing 11 through the handle 20, making the toolbox 100 easy to carry. Second, the connecting end 22 of the handle 20 is located between the housing 11 and the side plate 12, which can hide the connection between the handle 20 and the housing 11, thereby making the toolbox 100 aesthetically pleasing.
[0032] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 The first protrusion 111 extends along the axis of the positioning hole 221. One end of the first protrusion 111 is connected to the housing 11, and the other end abuts against the side plate 12. Specifically, the axis of the first protrusion 111 coincides with the axis of the positioning hole 221. Both the axis of the first protrusion 111 and the axis of the positioning hole 221 are parallel to the second direction 300. The side plate 12 and the housing 11 are arranged along the second direction 300. The positioning hole 221 is located in the gap between the side plate 12 and the housing 11. The width direction of the gap between the side plate 12 and the housing 11 is the second direction 300. The width dimension of the gap between the side plate 12 and the housing 11 is the same as the dimension of the first protrusion 111 in the second direction 300.
[0033] Understandably, the two ends of the first protrusion 111 are connected to the housing 11 and the side plate 12 respectively, which can reduce the risk of the connecting end 22 detaching from the first protrusion 111 and help improve the stability of the connection between the handle 20 and the housing 11.
[0034] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 The housing 11 has two second protrusions 112 spaced apart along the first direction 200. The side plate 12 is located between the two second protrusions 112, and the two sides of the side plate 12 on the first direction 200 respectively abut against or are spaced apart from the corresponding second protrusions 112.
[0035] Specifically, the second protrusion 112 protrudes relative to the housing 11 along the second direction 300, and extends along the third direction 400 to form a first plane 1121. The first plane 1121 is perpendicular to the first direction 200. Two second protrusions 112 are spaced apart along the first direction 200, and two first planes 1121 are spaced apart and parallel to each other along the first direction 200. The side plate 12 extends along the third direction 400 and forms two second planes 122 that are spaced apart and parallel to each other along the first direction 200. The second planes 122 are perpendicular to the first direction 200, and the distance between the two second planes 122 is slightly smaller than the distance between the two first planes 1121. Each of the two second planes 122 forms a gap with its corresponding first plane 1121. It should be understood that in some other embodiments, the distance between the two second planes 122 is equal to the distance between the two first planes 1121, and each of the two second planes 122 abuts against its corresponding first plane 1121.
[0036] Understandably, the second protrusion 112 is located on both sides of the side plate 12, which can limit the side plate 12 to a certain extent and also facilitate the positioning of the side plate 12 during the assembly of the tool box 100. The first plane 1121 is parallel to the second plane 122, which can limit the relative angle between the side plate 12 and the second protrusion 112.
[0037] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 Multiple first protrusions 111 are provided, and multiple first protrusions 111 are provided between two second protrusions 112. The connecting end 22 abuts or faces the corresponding second protrusions 112 on both sides in the first direction 200.
[0038] Specifically, three first protrusions 111 are provided, arranged non-collinearly on the housing 11. Three positioning holes 221 are provided, each engaging with a corresponding first protrusion 111. The connecting end 22 forms two parallel third planes 222 spaced apart along the first direction 200. The third planes 222 are perpendicular to the first direction 200. The distance between the two third planes 222 is slightly smaller than the distance between the two first planes 1121. A gap is formed between each of the two third planes 222 and its corresponding first plane 1121. The three first protrusions 111 are arranged between the two third planes 222. It should be understood that in some other embodiments, the distance between the two third planes 222 is equal to the distance between the two first planes 1121, and the two third planes 222 abut against their respective first planes 1121.
[0039] Understandably, the connecting end 22 engages with the first protrusion 111 through the positioning hole 221. Providing multiple first protrusions 111 makes the connection between the connecting end 22 and the housing 11 more stable. The second protrusion 112 is located on both sides of the connecting end 22, providing a certain degree of restraint to the connecting end 22 and facilitating the positioning of the handle 20 during the assembly of the toolbox 100. The first plane 1121 is parallel to the third plane 222, limiting the relative angle between the connecting end 22 and the second protrusion 112.
[0040] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 The side plate 12 is connected to the housing 11 by a snap-fit connection.
[0041] Specifically, the housing 11 has multiple third protrusions 115, and the side plate 12 has snap-fit holes 116, with the third protrusions 115 extending into the snap-fit holes 116. The third protrusions 115 and the snap-fit holes 116 are interference-fitted. It can be understood that the third protrusions 115 and the snap-fit holes 116 enable the side plate 12 to be snap-fitted to the housing 11. This snap-fit connection simplifies the structure of the toolbox 100 and facilitates the assembly of the side plate 12.
[0042] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 The size of the gap between the side plate 12 and the housing 11 is adapted to the thickness of the connecting end 22. In the thickness direction of the side plate 12, one side of the connecting end 22 abuts against the side plate 12, and the other side abuts against the housing 11.
[0043] Specifically, the thickness direction of the side plate 12 is the second direction 300. The side plate 12 and the housing 11 are arranged at intervals along the second direction 300. The size of the connecting end 22 in the second direction 300 is adapted to the size of the gap between the side plate 12 and the housing 11. It can be understood that this arrangement allows the connecting end 22 to abut against the side plate 12 on one side and against the housing 11 on the other side, thereby reducing the risk of the connecting end 22 sliding in the gap between the side plate 12 and the housing 11, and improving the fixing effect of the handle 20 on the housing 11.
[0044] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The side plate 12 has a first surface 121 located on the side of the side plate 12 opposite to the connecting end 22, and the traction end 21 has a second surface 211 connected to the first surface 121. Specifically, the first surface 121 and the second surface 211 have a smooth transition. This design improves the aesthetics of the toolbox 100.
[0045] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2The traction end 21 is made of a soft material, while the connecting end 22 is made of a hard material. Understandably, the soft material of the traction end 21 enhances the comfort of the user when gripping it, while the hard material of the connecting end 22 improves the strength of the connection between the handle 20 and the housing 11.
[0046] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 The box body 10 also includes an inner tray 30, which is used to hold tools. The housing 11 has a slide groove 113, in which the inner tray 30 is slidably fitted. The inner tray 30 can move in and out of the slide groove 113 in a straight line.
[0047] Specifically, the inner tray 30 is provided with a plurality of receiving slots 32, which are used to fix and receive tools. The housing 11 surrounds a space whose shape and size are adapted to the inner tray 30 to form a slide 113. The sidewall of the slide 113 is parallel to the third direction 400. The outer contour of the projection of the sidewall of the slide 113 onto a plane perpendicular to the third direction 400 is adapted to the shape and size of the outer contour of the projection of the inner tray 30 onto a plane perpendicular to the third direction 400. The slide 113 has an opening adapted to the size of the inner tray 30. The inner tray 30 can enter and exit the slide 113 through the opening. When the inner tray 30 enters and exits the slide 113, it moves along the third direction 400.
[0048] Understandably, when the inner support 30 moves in and out of the slide 113, the side wall of the slide 113 can guide the movement of the inner support 30 in the third direction 400. When the inner support 30 is in the slide 113, the housing 11 covers the inner support 30, which can reduce the risk of tools being lost on the receiving slot 32.
[0049] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the inner tray 30. The inner tray 30 is provided with a first snap-fit component 31, and the housing 11 is provided with a second snap-fit component 114. When the inner tray 30 enters the slide groove 113, the first snap-fit component 31 can snap into the second snap-fit component 114.
[0050] Specifically, the first latching assembly 31 includes a latch, and the second latching assembly 114 includes a base plate 1142 and a latch 1141. The base plate 1142 is mounted on the housing 11, and the base plate 1142 and the housing 11 together form a slide groove 113. The base plate 1142 forms the bottom wall of the slide groove 113. The latch 1141 is mounted on the base plate 1142 and works with the base plate 1142 to form a door latch switch. It is understood that when the inner tray 30 enters the slide groove 113, the latch can be inserted into the door latch switch and latched, thereby restricting the movement of the inner tray 30 and reducing the risk of the tool being lost due to the inner tray 30 unexpectedly leaving the slide groove 113. When the latch is latched with the door latch switch, pressing the inner tray 30 along the third direction 400 can disengage the latch from the door latch switch, allowing the inner tray 30 to leave the slide groove 113, making it convenient for the user to retrieve the tool.
[0051] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
