[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] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, a tool cart based on drawer interchange includes a cabinet 1, which is a cuboid structure. The bottom of the cabinet 1 is equipped with casters 102, and the cabinet 1 is made of cold-rolled steel.
[0031] The top of the cabinet 1 is provided with a top plate 4. Multiple protrusions 401 are provided at both ends of the top and the middle of both sides of the top plate 4. The upper part of the protrusions 401 is rounded. The top of the top plate 4 is provided with a matching cover plate 3. The bottom of the cover plate 3 is provided with a first limiting groove 301 that matches the protrusions 401. The protrusions 401 not only enhance the structural strength of the top plate 4, but also provide reliable support for the installation of the cover plate 3. The cover plate 3 can be directly and stably placed on the top plate 4 of the cabinet 1, which is convenient for installation and ensures the overall aesthetics.
[0032] The cover plate 3 is made of wood. The cover plate 3 can be directly placed on the top plate 4 of the cabinet 1 through the cooperation of the first limiting groove 301 and the protrusion 401. The wooden cover plate 3 will expand or contract slightly due to moisture absorption. However, due to the cooperation design of the first limiting groove and the protrusion 401 between the cover plate 3 and the top plate 4, it will not affect the structure of the cabinet 1, thus effectively avoiding the problem of cracking of the cabinet 1 due to the expansion or contraction of the cover plate 3. This not only increases the sealing and stability of the cabinet 1, but also improves the overall service life and reliability.

[0034] The cabinet 1 has a cavity inside, and the cavity contains a first drawer 2, a second drawer 201 and a third drawer 202; the height of the third drawer 202 is three times the height of the first drawer 2, and the height of the second drawer 201 is twice the height of the first drawer 2.
[0035] The first drawer 2, the second drawer 201, and the third drawer 202 are all equipped with handles 203 on the upper front side. The handles 203 are U-shaped and the openings of the handles 203 face downwards, making it easy to pull out the drawers.
[0036] A fixing block 5 is provided on the first drawer 2, the second drawer 201 and the third drawer 202 on the side away from the handle. The fixing block 5 is fixed at the bottom middle of the first drawer 2, the second drawer 201 and the third drawer 202. The fixing block 5 is fixed with a buckle 6 by bolts.
[0037] The buckle 6 is U-shaped, with its opening facing away from the drawer. One side of the buckle 6 is trapezoidal, and the other side is triangular. The triangular buckle 6 has a rectangular slot.
[0038] When in use, the triangular buckle 6 engages in the second limiting groove 8 on the fixing strip 7, and the trapezoidal buckle fits against one side of the outer wall of the fixing strip 7, allowing the drawer to be fixed and pulled out inside the tool cart.
[0039] During use, the second drawer 201 can be replaced with two first drawers 2 as needed, thereby flexibly adjusting the storage space. The third drawer 202 is three times the size of the first drawer 2, which can further expand the storage capacity and meet the storage needs of larger items.
[0040] Not only does it improve the space utilization of cabinet 1, it also provides customers with a variety of choices. The number and size of drawers can be freely combined according to actual needs to fully meet the usage needs in different scenarios. Whether storing small or large items, it can easily handle them and make the use more convenient and flexible.
[0041] The cabinet 1 on the side away from the handle 203 has vertically distributed fixing strips 7 inside. One end of the fixing strip 7 is fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 4, and the other end of the fixing strip 7 is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom of the cabinet 1. Multiple second limiting grooves 8 are evenly opened on the fixing strip 7. The second limiting grooves 8 are matched with the buckles 6. In order to make it easier to use the tool cart, casters can be installed at the bottom of the tool cart, which can be moved to the destination by the casters.
[0042] How to use:
[0043] First, select a drawer of appropriate size according to the items needed, and put the items into the drawer according to their categories; then put the drawer with the items into the cabinet 1, and make sure that the buckle 6 at the bottom of the drawer is precisely aligned with the second limiting groove 8 on the fixing strip 7 of the cabinet 1, and press it down gently to fix it firmly; next, use the casters at the bottom of the cabinet 1 to easily move the cabinet 1 to the desired destination.
[0044] For frequently used items, they can be hung on the hanging hole 101 on the side of cabinet 1 using hooks for easy access; when you need to use items in other drawers, simply lift the drawer gently upwards to pull it out smoothly and take out the required items from inside the drawer.
