[0002] In the current field of storage and transportation tools, handcarts, as commonly used equipment that combines the dual functions of "storage and organization" and "mobile transportation," are widely used in various scenarios such as homes, offices, industries, and warehouses. They are key tools for improving the efficiency of item management and reducing the cost of manual handling. However, most traditional storage handcarts on the market are limited by their design concepts and structural processes, making it difficult for a single storage handcart to adapt to the efficient and flexible usage needs of multiple scenarios, as detailed below:

[0003] 1. Traditional storage carts are mostly fixed with 2 or 3 layers, which cannot flexibly increase or decrease the number of layers according to the amount of items stored. This can easily lead to wasted space when there are few items, or the need to purchase new equipment when there are many items, thus increasing costs.

[0004] 2. Traditional storage carts often have single open or simple partitioned storage spaces without dedicated storage structures. This can easily lead to tools being mixed up after storage, wasting time searching for them, and small items are easily lost due to the lack of enclosed and subdivided spaces.

[0005] 3. Storage carts designed for home organization and office stationery storage have a simple structure and cannot meet the diverse needs of industrial / warehousing (requiring high load-bearing capacity), cleaning services (cleaning requires tool zoning), gardening, and film and television accessory storage. Therefore, users need to purchase equipment separately for different scenarios, increasing economic costs and storage space usage. Utility Model Content

[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0038] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a storage trolley and matching item box, including a storage trolley 100 assembled from multiple casters 1, support frame 2 and storage box 3, and an item box 200 inserted into each storage box 3. The support frame 2 has a hollow structure. Each storage box 3 has at least one slot 4 on one side of its top edge for attaching the item box 200, and at least one insertion port 5 on the other side of its top edge for storing fastening tools.

[0039] As a further step, the item box 200, which snaps onto the storage box 3 in the storage cart 100, provides dedicated space for small items, preventing them from being lost or difficult to find. Simultaneously, the combination of the small item box 200 and the storage box 3 allows for "large categories + small subcategories" in the storage cart. The slot 5 is designed for storing screwdrivers and similar items, ensuring that when inserted into the slot 5, it prevents them from falling out and makes efficient use of the space on the storage box 3.

[0040] Among them, the multiple storage boxes 3 include at least one bottom box 31, several middle boxes 32 and one top box 33. The bottom four corners of the bottom box 31 are connected to the corresponding casters 1. The middle boxes 32 are located between the bottom box 31 and the top box 33, and each pair of storage boxes 3 are connected by multiple support frames 2.

[0041] Specifically, the storage cart 100 proposed in this article can be disassembled according to usage needs, and multiple middle boxes 32 can be assembled between the bottom box 31 and the top box 33 to ensure that when the amount of items stored changes, the user can directly adjust the number of layers to avoid wasting space or insufficient storage, without the need to purchase additional equipment, thus effectively reducing usage costs.

[0042] Furthermore, placement slots 12 are provided on both sides of the bottom box 31. In practical applications, a partition can be installed in the placement slot 12 on one side to divide one placement slot 12 into two cavities; or partitions can be installed in the placement slots 12 on both sides, so that the divided cavities facilitate the placement of shorter tools, thereby limiting the placement of shorter tools and preventing them from getting mixed up.

[0043] Furthermore, a first handle 13 and a hook 14 are provided on one side of the middle box 32, and multiple circular slots 15 are provided on the other side of the middle box 32. The structural design of the first handle 13 makes it easy for manual pushing or pulling of the storage cart 100, which is especially suitable for use scenarios where the center of gravity of the storage cart 100 is low; the design of the hook 14 is conducive to manually hanging tool bags; and the structural design of the circular slots 15 is convenient for placing bottle-like items, such as bottled cleaning agents, lubricants, spray bottles, etc.

[0044] Furthermore, a second handle 16 is provided on each side of the top box 33. The second handle 16 is a structural design on the top box 33 to facilitate personnel to push or pull the storage cart 100.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, each storage box 3 has an integrally formed plug post 6 at each of its four corners, and each storage box 3 has a plug slot 7 corresponding to the plug post 6 at each of its four corners. The top of the support frame 2 is inserted into the outside of the corresponding plug post 6, and the bottom of the support frame 2 is inserted into the inside of the corresponding plug slot 7. Each plug slot 7 is provided with a bidirectional functional component 8.

[0046] The bidirectional functional component 8 is an irregularly shaped component with through holes at the top and bottom, and its top end has an outer edge. The shape of the bidirectional functional component 8 is adapted to the inner cavity of the insertion groove 7. When the bidirectional functional component 8 is reversed, its top end can be located inside the insertion groove 7, while the bottom end is spaced from the inner wall of the insertion groove 7 for the support frame 2 to be inserted. Specifically, this is reflected at the bottom end of the support frame 2 between the bottom box 31 and the middle box 32, and between the middle box 32 and the top box 33. When the bidirectional functional component 8 is upright, its top end is located on top and is located inside the insertion groove 7, used to seal the insertion groove 7 on the top box 33.

[0047] Furthermore, in the storage box 3, the outer side of the insertion post 6 on the bottom box 31 is fitted with a kit 9, and the threaded post on the caster 1 is located inside the kit 9 ​​and is detachably connected to the bottom box 31. The kit 9 ​​has a through-hole extending vertically, the through hole on the bidirectional functional component 8 is a threaded hole, and the inner bottom wall of the insertion groove 7 has a through hole extending to the bottom of the insertion post 6. Thus, when the threaded post on the caster 1 is inserted into the guide hole of the kit 9, it can pass through the inner through hole of the insertion post 6 and be threadedly connected to the bidirectional functional component 8, thereby fixing the caster 1 to the bottom box 31. It is worth noting that two of the four casters 1 have foot brakes. Even more noteworthy is that, in practical applications, depending on the scenario requirements, each bidirectional functional component 8 can be fixed to the corresponding insertion groove 7 with a bolt post.

[0048] Furthermore, each storage box 3 has a cross reinforcing rib 10 integrally formed at its bottom, and each storage box 3 has a reinforcing rib 11 integrally formed on its outer edge wall. Through the design of the cross reinforcing rib 10 and the reinforcing rib 11, the load-bearing stability of the storage box 3 can be effectively enhanced, and the service life of the equipment can be extended.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the item box 200 includes a rectangular box 210 and a first locking block 211 connected to the rectangular box 210. The first locking block 211 is engaged in the slot 4.

[0051] Specifically, the design of the first card block 211 makes it easy to attach at least one rectangular box 210 into the slot 4 on the storage box 3, so as to ensure that the rectangular box 210 after being attached securely can provide a dedicated storage area for different items, and achieve efficient management of "one item, one area".

[0052] Example 2

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the item box 200 includes a rectangular shell 220 having at least one cylindrical groove 223, a hanging groove 221 formed on the top of the rectangular shell 220, and a second locking block 222 connected to the rectangular shell 220.

[0054] Specifically, the design of the second locking block 222 facilitates the locking of at least one rectangular shell 220 into the slot 4 on the storage box 3, ensuring that the rectangular box 210, after being securely locked, can be used to place items such as bottles, thus preventing bottle tipping during the movement of the storage cart 100. The hanging slot 221 is designed to hold items with inserts, and also allows for the hanging of bags from the inserts. It is worth noting that this article... Figure 6 Taking two cylindrical grooves 223 as an example, if necessary, the two cylindrical grooves 223 can be in a vertically penetrating state to facilitate the placement of the broom upside down.

[0055] Example 3

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, the item box 200 includes a bottom box 230, an L-shaped plate 231 connected to the top of the bottom box 230, and a third locking block 232 connected to the L-shaped plate 231. The two ends of the third locking block 232 are respectively provided with semi-circular slots 233, and the surface of the third locking block 232 is provided with a recessed groove 234 that communicates with the top port of the bottom box 230.

[0057] Specifically, the design of the third card block 232 facilitates the snapping of at least one bottom box 230 and the box body formed by the L-shaped plate 231 into the slot 4 on the storage box 3, so that the box body can fix the power strip through the design of the recessed groove 234, and the design of the semi-circular slots 233 at both ends can wrap and store the cables, avoiding the problem of messy tangles and knots of the cables, which would affect the quick use.

[0058] The working principle of this storage trolley and its matching storage box will be explained in detail below.

[0059] like Figures 1-7As shown, when the storage cart 100 is assembled and used, it can expand or shrink multiple middle boxes 32 between the top box 33 and the bottom box 31 according to changes in the amount of items stored, and is supported by the support frame 2, so that multiple storage boxes 3 can accommodate more items without the need for additional equipment purchase, effectively reducing usage costs; at the same time, the design of the placement slot 12 on the bottom box 31 and the design of the hook 14 and circular slot 15 on the middle box 32 enable the storage cart 100 to carry out efficient "one item, one area" management according to the characteristics of different items; and the storage... The slot 5 on one side of the storage box 3 allows for the vertical placement of screwdrivers, wrenches, and other fastening tools, making them easily accessible and retrieval convenient. The design of the slots 4 allows for the insertion of different item boxes 200 into multiple slots 4, or the insertion of identical item boxes 200 as needed, enabling the rectangular box 210 to provide dedicated space for small items (such as screws and nuts). The rectangular shell 220 can be used to store items such as bottles. The bottom box 230 can hold power strips and uses the semi-circular slots 233 at both ends to organize cables, effectively solving the problem of cable tangling. Therefore, the storage cart 100 and item boxes 200 proposed in this paper can provide an orderly and efficient environment for the maintenance of essential tools for workers in various industries.

[0060] Specifically, through a comprehensive design of "flexible storage + stable load-bearing + zoned management," this utility model can be adapted to various scenarios such as industrial / warehousing (transporting parts, storing IT tools), office / education (storing stationery, experimental equipment), life services (cleaning carts, garden carts), and special needs (movie accessories, garage tools), solving the problem of limited adaptability of traditional storage carts. As a result, users do not need to purchase separate equipment for different scenarios. This utility model can meet diversified needs, reduce economic costs, reduce storage space occupation, and has strong practicality.

[0061] In summary, the storage trolley of this application achieves a breakthrough improvement in flexibility, load-bearing capacity, storage efficiency, and scenario adaptability through innovative structural design, effectively solving the shortcomings of existing technologies and possessing extremely high practicality and promotional value.
