Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tool storage, and in particular to a toolbox. Background Technology

[0002] A toolbox is a box used to classify and store various tools. It is most commonly used in industrial and mining enterprises. In order to classify and store a large number of tools, toolboxes are usually equipped with multiple drawers. Through multiple drawers, various tools can be classified and stored in an orderly manner, so as to facilitate user access and improve work efficiency.

[0003] To prevent drawers from sliding out during toolbox transport, prior art CN201710102159.8 discloses a drawer locking mechanism for a toolbox cabinet, including a cabinet body and a locking device. A set of drawers is provided on the upper part of the cabinet body. The locking device is located on one side of the length direction of the set of drawers and installed in the height direction of the cabinet body. Each set of drawers has a pressure plate extending outward on the side corresponding to the locking device. The locking device includes a locking plate, an upper shaft plate, a lower shaft plate, a lock body, and a lock that cooperates with the lock body. The upper shaft plate and the lower shaft plate are fixed at the upper and lower ends of the locking plate in the height direction, and are pivotally connected to the upper and lower ends of the cabinet body by axle pins through their respective upper and lower shaft holes. The locking plate locks the set of drawers by pressing the pressure plate on one side of the drawer during rotation around the axle pin, and unlocks the set of drawers when the locking plate is rotated in the opposite direction.

[0004] In existing technology, although drawers are locked by pressure plates, the drawers locked by the pressure plates are a whole group. When only one tool needs to be taken out and the drawer is opened by the locking mechanism, the rotation of the pressure plate will cause multiple drawers in the group to be unlocked. When the toolbox cabinet is tilted, the opened drawers that are not in use may slide off the cabinet, which is not conducive to locking the drawers that are not in use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a toolbox that solves the problem of multiple drawers being locked by a single pressure plate, which causes the remaining drawers to be unlocked when only one drawer needs to be opened, resulting in drawers that do not need to be opened sliding off the box. Each drawer box is individually locked and unlocked using a locking device, improving the stability of drawers that do not need to be opened and thus preventing them from sliding off the box.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a toolbox, including a box body, wherein the box body is provided with a plurality of drawer boxes, each of the plurality of drawer boxes is provided with a locking member, one side of the locking member is provided with a snap-fit ​​rib and the other side is provided with an elastic member, and the snap-fit ​​rib and the elastic member are arranged opposite to each other, the box body is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, the elastic member abuts against the locking member so that the snap-fit ​​rib extends into the snap-fit ​​groove to lock the drawer box on the box body, and pressing the locking member causes the snap-fit ​​rib to disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove to unlock the drawer box.

[0007] After adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages: By setting multiple drawer boxes on the box body, different tools can be stored separately in multiple drawer boxes, or parts of the same specification can be placed in one drawer box, and parts of different specifications can be placed in different drawer boxes, avoiding the mixing of different types of tools or parts of different specifications, and improving the user's identification efficiency; when locking the drawer box by the locking member, push the drawer box towards the box body, and when the locking member abuts against the box body, press down on the locking member, so that the locking rib moves downward into the drawer box. When the drawer box reaches the locked position of the box body, release the locking member. Pressing down causes the snap-fit ​​rib to protrude from the drawer box under the action of the elastic element and insert into the snap-fit ​​groove on the box body, thus locking the drawer box to the box body. When it is necessary to unlock the drawer box from the box body, press down on the locking element to make the snap-fit ​​rib disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove, and pull the drawer box away from the box body to unlock and open the drawer box. Each drawer box is equipped with a locking element, which can be used to lock and unlock a drawer box individually. When taking out the corresponding tools or parts, only the corresponding locking element needs to be used to unlock the drawer box, avoiding the forced opening of drawer boxes that do not need to be opened and improving the stability of drawer boxes that do not need to be opened.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic element includes a first elastic piece and a second elastic piece that abut against the drawer box. The first elastic piece and the second elastic piece are distributed in a figure-eight shape, and the distance between the first elastic piece and the second elastic piece gradually increases along the unlocking direction of the locking element.

[0009] Using the aforementioned technical solution, when the locking element is pressed to unlock the drawer box, the ends of the first and second elastic pieces away from the locking element move away from each other, reducing the height of the first and second elastic pieces in the unlocking direction, so that the locking element can move away from the box body, thereby causing the locking protrusion to disengage from the locking groove; the "eight"-shaped distribution of the first and second elastic pieces makes it easier to press the locking element downward when unlocking the drawer box, improving the convenience of locking element operation.

[0010] Furthermore, the drawer box is provided with two blocking ribs for blocking the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet, and both the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet are located between the two blocking ribs.

[0011] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, two blocking ribs are provided on the drawer box. The blocking ribs block the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet and limit the deformation of the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet, so as to avoid damage caused by excessive deformation of the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet.

[0012] Furthermore, the drawer box is provided with a mounting groove for accommodating the locking member. One of the two side walls of the locking member that contact the mounting groove is provided with a guide rib and the other is provided with a guide groove. Both the guide rib and the guide groove extend along the unlocking direction of the locking member, and the guide rib is inserted into the guide groove.

[0013] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, a mounting groove is provided on the drawer box to accommodate the locking component. This avoids the locking component protruding too much from the drawer box, which would affect the stability of the locking component or the drawer box. After the locking component is accommodated in the mounting groove, the guide ribs are inserted into the guide groove to guide the direction of movement for unlocking and locking the locking component. This makes it easier for the user to move the locking component to unlock or lock the drawer box, improving the accuracy of the locking component's movement when unlocking or locking.

[0014] Furthermore, the groove wall of the placement groove is provided with a limiting member, and the locking member is provided with an elastic part on the side facing the limiting member. The elastic part has a limiting groove. The locking member is located in the placement groove and the limiting member extends into the limiting groove to limit the locking member.

[0015] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the elastic part provided on the locking member facilitates the insertion of the limiting member and the limiting groove when the locking member is inserted into the mounting groove, thereby confining the locking member within the mounting groove and preventing the locking member from sliding out of the mounting groove under the push of the elastic member, thus improving the stability of the locking member in the mounting groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the side of the limiting member facing the elastic member is the limiting surface. When the drawer box is unlocked, the limiting surface abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove to stabilize the locking member in the placement groove.

[0017] Using the aforementioned technical solution, when the drawer box is unlocked, the elastic element abuts against the locking element in the direction of the snap-fit ​​rib, so that the limiting groove abuts against the limiting surface, preventing the locking element from disengaging from the mounting groove. The stability of the locking element is improved by the obstruction of the limiting surface.

[0018] Furthermore, the side of the limiting member facing the snap-fit ​​rib is the first guide surface. During the process of inserting the locking member into the mounting groove, the elastic part slides along the first guide surface so that the limiting member is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0019] Using the aforementioned technical solution, during the process of inserting the locking member into the mounting groove, the elastic part abuts against the first guide surface and undergoes elastic deformation until the limiting groove aligns with the limiting member. Then, the elastic part recovers its deformation, allowing the limiting groove to fit onto the limiting member, thus limiting the locking member. The guidance of the first guide surface reduces the difficulty of installing the locking member.

[0020] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​rib has a second guide surface on the side facing the box body. As the drawer box is closed, the second guide surface abuts against the box body, causing the locking member to slide toward the elastic member.

[0021] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the drawer box is pushed towards the box body by setting the second guide surface on the snap-fit ​​rib. The second guide surface abuts against the box body, causing the locking member to compress the elastic member under the pressure of the box body. This makes it easy for the snap-fit ​​rib to be inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove and form a locked state for the drawer box. Furthermore, the setting of the second guide surface means that the user does not need to manually press the locking member during the process of closing the drawer box, thus improving the convenience of locking the drawer box for the user.

[0022] Furthermore, the locking element is provided with a pressing step for assisting in pressing the locking element to unlock the drawer box.

[0023] Using the aforementioned technical solution, when a user needs to unlock the drawer box, the user presses on the pressing step, causing the locking element to press against the elastic element, which in turn causes the locking rib to disengage from the locking groove. The setting of the pressing step provides convenience for the user to operate the locking rib when unlocking the drawer box, thus improving the ease of unlocking the drawer box.

[0024] Furthermore, the drawer box is equipped with an operation part that assists in unlocking the drawer box.

[0025] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the operating unit assists the user in pressing the locking element, making it easier for the user to apply pressure to the locking element and improving the convenience of unlocking the drawer box. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be selected to be combined or substituted with each other according to the actual situation, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a toolbox, including a box body 1, on which multiple drawer boxes 2 are provided. These drawer boxes 2 can be used to categorize and store different tools or parts of different specifications, facilitating users to find the corresponding tools or parts. The multiple drawer boxes 2 are distributed horizontally and vertically on the box body 1, and each drawer box 2 is provided with a locking element 3. The locking element 3 locks into the box body 1, thereby locking the drawer box 2 to the box body 1. Each drawer box 2 is provided with a locking element 3, so that each drawer box 2 is locked individually. Only when one drawer box 2 needs to be opened, the other drawer boxes 2 remain locked. Compared with the prior art CN201710102159.8, opening the drawer box 2 that needs to be unlocked does not affect the locking of the other drawer boxes 2. This design prevents other drawer boxes 2 from being forced open and sliding. Specifically, the locking member 3 has a snap-fit ​​rib 31 on one side and an elastic member 32 on the other side, with the snap-fit ​​rib 31 and the elastic member 32 positioned opposite each other. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​rib 31 is located on the upper surface of the locking member 3, and the elastic member 32 is located on the lower surface of the locking member 3. The elastic member 32 pushes the locking member 3 upward, causing the snap-fit ​​rib 31 to protrude from the upper surface of the drawer box 2. The box body 1 has a snap-fit ​​groove 11, and the snap-fit ​​rib 31 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 11, thereby locking the drawer box 2 onto the box body 1 and preventing the drawer box 2 from sliding off the box body 1. When it is necessary to unlock the drawer box 2, the locking member 3 is pressed down to compress the elastic member 32, ensuring that the locking member 3 moves the snap-fit ​​rib 31 downward and disengages from the snap-fit ​​groove 11, thereby unlocking the drawer box 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the elastic element 32 includes a first elastic piece 321 and a second elastic piece 322. The first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322 are arranged in a figure-eight shape, and the distance between the first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322 gradually increases along the unlocking direction of the locking element 3. When the locking element 3 is pressed to unlock the drawer box 2, the ends of the first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322 that abut against the drawer box 2 move away from each other under the action of pressing, so that the height of the first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322 decreases, so that the locking element 3 and the locking rib 31 move downward and drive the locking rib 31 to disengage from the locking groove 11. The figure-eight arrangement of the first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322 facilitates the installation of the elastic element 32 and has a relatively large deformation space, ensuring that the locking rib 31 can disengage from the locking groove 11 when the locking element 3 is pressed.

[0040] To avoid the possibility of damage to the first elastic sheet 321 and the second elastic sheet 322 due to excessive deformation space, such as Figure 2As shown, the drawer box 2 is provided with two blocking ribs 211 for blocking the first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322. The first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322 are both located between the two blocking ribs 211. Specifically, the ends of the first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322 away from the locking member 3 are respectively close to a blocking rib 211. When the locking member 3 is pressed down until the first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322 abut against the blocking rib 211, the first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322 are blocked by the blocking rib 211 and no longer deform, thus avoiding excessive deformation and damage to the first elastic piece 321 and the second elastic piece 322.

[0041] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, to facilitate the installation of the locking element 3 on the drawer box 2, the drawer box 2 is provided with a mounting slot 21 for accommodating the locking element 3, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, one of the two side walls of the locking member 3 that contact the mounting groove 21 is provided with a guide rib 212 and the other with a guide groove 33; specifically, the locking member 3 is provided with a guide groove 33, and the groove wall of the mounting groove 21 is provided with a guide rib 212 protruding into the cavity of the mounting groove 21. When the locking member 3 is unlocked or locked in the vertical direction, the guide groove 33 and the guide rib 212 extend in the vertical direction. After the locking member 3 is accommodated in the mounting groove 21, the guide rib 212 is inserted into the guide groove. In 33, the guide rib 212 is inserted into the guide groove 33 to guide the movement of the locking member 3 during unlocking and locking, ensuring that the locking member 3 can be driven to disengage the locking rib 31 from the locking groove 11 when the locking member 3 is pressed. In another embodiment, the guide groove 33 can be provided on the drawer box 2. In this case, the groove opening of the guide groove 33 is located on the groove wall of the placement groove 21, the guide rib 212 is provided on the locking member 3, and the guide rib 212 is inserted into the guide groove 33 to guide the movement of the locking member 3.

[0042] To improve the stability of the locking element 3 in the mounting groove 21, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a limiting member 213 is provided on the wall of the placement groove 21, and the limiting member 213 extends into the placement groove 21. The locking member 3 has an elastic part 34 on the side facing the limiting member 213, and the elastic part 34 has a limiting groove 341. After the locking member 3 is accommodated in the placement groove 21, the limiting member 213 extends into the limiting groove 341 to limit the locking member 3. Specifically, the side of the limiting member 213 facing the elastic member 32 is the limiting surface 2131. When the drawer box 2 is unlocked, the elastic member 32 abuts against the locking member 3, so that the wall of the limiting groove 341 abuts against the limiting surface 2131, thereby preventing the locking member 3 from disengaging from the placement groove 21, and thus improving the stability of the locking member 3 in the placement groove 21.

[0043] In another embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the side of the limiting member 213 facing the snap-fit ​​rib 31 is the first guide surface 2132. When the locking member 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 21 from top to bottom, the elastic part 34 deforms after abutting the first guide surface 2132, causing the elastic part 34 to slide along the first guide surface 2132. As the locking member 3 is inserted, when the limiting member 213 and the limiting groove 341 are at the same height, the deformation of the elastic part 34 is restored, so that the limiting member 213 is inserted into the limiting groove 341. The first guide surface 2132 and the elastic part 34 facilitate the installation of the locking member 3 in the mounting groove 21.

[0044] To improve the locking efficiency of drawer box 2, such as Figure 8 As shown, the snap-fit ​​rib 31 has a second guide surface 311 on the side facing the box body 1. When the drawer box 2 is closed, the second guide surface 311 abuts against the box body 1, causing the locking member 3 to slide downward. Specifically, when the drawer box 2 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state, the drawer box 2 is pushed towards the box body 1. When the second guide surface 311 abuts against the box body 1, as the drawer box 2 is continuously pushed, the locking member 3 moves downward under the action of the second guide surface 311 being abutted by the box body 1. When the snap-fit ​​rib 31 is aligned with the snap-fit ​​groove 11, under the action of the elastic member 32, the snap-fit ​​rib 31 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 11 to lock the drawer box 2. By setting the second guide surface 311, the pressing operation of the locking member 3 is reduced when locking the drawer box 2, improving the convenience of locking.

[0045] In another embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the locking member 3 is provided with a pressing step 35 for assisting in pressing the locking member 3 to unlock the drawer box 2. When it is necessary to unlock the drawer, the locking member 3 is pressed down by pressing the pressing step 35, which makes it easier for the user to operate the locking member 3 during the unlocking process and reduces the difficulty for the user to unlock the drawer box 2.

[0046] To facilitate users unlocking drawer box 2, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drawer box 2 is provided with an operation part 22 to assist in unlocking the drawer box 2. The operation part 22 is designed to facilitate the user's operation of the drawer box 2 when unlocking or locking the drawer box 2.

[0047] To facilitate pushing or pulling the drawer box 2, the locking member 3 has a pressing step 35, and the drawer box 2 has an operating part 22. When the user needs to open the drawer box 2, some fingers press on the pressing step 35 and some fingers support and abut against the operating part 22, so that the user's hand forms a pinch shape on the drawer box 2 and the locking member 3, which makes it easier for the user to pull or push the drawer box 2 more stably.

[0048] In another embodiment, the snap-fit ​​rib 31 and the elastic element 32 can also be horizontally distributed relative to each other. Specifically, when the width of the drawer box 2 in the horizontal direction is equivalent to the internal space of the box body 1, and two adjacent drawer boxes 2 in the vertical direction are in contact with each other, the unlocking or locking direction of the locking element 3 can also be set horizontally. At this time, the snap-fit ​​rib 31 and the elastic element 32 are distributed in the horizontal direction. In another embodiment, according to the stability of the drawer box 2, locking elements 3 can also be provided on both sides of the drawer box 2 in the horizontal direction to improve the stability of the drawer box 2 and ensure the stability of the drawer box 2 on the box body 1.

[0049] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, there are other embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
