Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toolboxes, and more particularly to a toolbox for motor vehicle repair. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous growth of motor vehicle ownership, the scale of the motor vehicle repair industry is constantly expanding. During motor vehicle repair operations, repair tools and parts are diverse in type and specifications, requiring repair personnel to frequently access them. This places higher demands on the performance of toolboxes. An efficient and practical toolbox can not only help repair personnel quickly find the tools they need, but also improve the efficiency and safety of repair work.

[0003] Most commercially available automotive repair toolboxes currently on the market employ a single-layer or simple layered structure. When in use, the lack of proper internal space planning leads to tools and parts being haphazardly placed, resulting in low space utilization efficiency, difficulty in storing large quantities of items, and significant inconvenience in finding specific tools. Furthermore, the internal storage space of existing toolboxes is typically fixed, unable to be flexibly adjusted to accommodate tools and parts of varying sizes. There is insufficient space for storing large parts, while storing small parts results in wasted space and difficulty in effectively securing them, making them prone to shaking and collisions during transportation or handling, posing a risk of damage. To address these technical problems, this application proposes a new automotive repair toolbox. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a toolbox for motor vehicle repair. The support plate rotates backward and keeps the front facing upward after the box is opened, making efficient use of space and accommodating more tools and parts. The internal movable plate can be adjusted by pressing the sliding plate to freely change the placement space distance, adapting to objects of different sizes. After adjustment, the spring fixes it to prevent shaking, fully meeting diverse storage and safe storage needs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A toolbox for motor vehicle repair includes an upper body and a lower body. The bottom end of the upper body is rotatably connected to the upper side of the lower body. A fastener is fixedly connected to the front side of the upper body. A handle and a latch are fixedly connected to the front side of the lower body. A sponge pad is fixedly connected to the lower inner side of the upper body. A second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the lower body. A support plate is rotatably connected to the upper side of the second connecting rod. A sliding assembly is provided on the upper side of the support plate. A first partition plate is provided on the upper inner side of the lower body. A flipping assembly is provided inside the lower body.

[0007] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a rotating plate rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the box, a gear one fixedly connected to the lower side of the rotating plate, a connecting rod one rotatably connected to the lower inner side of the box, a gear two fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting rod, and the upper side of the connecting rod one rotatably connected to the lower side of the support plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a movable plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the partition plate two, a rack two fixedly connected to the upper interior of the partition plate two, a residual tooth slidably connected to the left side of the movable plate, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the right side of the residual tooth, a protrusion fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting rod, and a sliding plate slidably connected to the front side of the movable plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a rack is slidably connected to the lower side of the inner interior of the housing, the outer wall of the first gear is meshed with the upper side of the rack, and the outer wall of the second gear is meshed with the upper side of the rack.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper side of the rotating plate is fixedly connected to the lower inner side of the box body, and a groove is provided on the lower rear side of the box body.

[0011] Furthermore, a groove is provided inside the left side of the movable plate, and a baffle is slidably connected inside the groove. A spring is provided on the right side of the baffle.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the baffle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod, the inner side of the spring is sleeved on the outer wall, and the outer wall of the spring is located on the right side of the baffle.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. In terms of space utilization, when the toolbox is opened backward and placed horizontally, its unique internal structural design causes the support plate to move backward while always maintaining a front-facing orientation. This double-layer design avoids the problem of cluttered and poorly utilized internal space in traditional toolboxes, significantly saving internal space and allowing for efficient use of the limited space, facilitating the storage of more automotive repair tools and parts.

[0015] 2. In terms of spatial flexibility, the toolbox allows for free adjustment of the placement space. Its internal movable plate can be adjusted according to the volume of the items. Pressing the sliding plates on both sides of the movable plate causes a protrusion on the rear of the sliding plate to push a block, moving the residual teeth and releasing the constraint on the rack. The movable plate can then slide freely between the support plate and the partition plate. Whether it's small parts or larger mechanical components, the position of the movable plate can be adjusted as needed to create a suitable storage space. After adjustment, releasing the pressure causes the spring to return and fix the movable plate, preventing items from shaking, meeting diverse storage needs, and ensuring the safety of stored tools and parts.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3This utility model provides an embodiment of a toolbox for motor vehicle repair, comprising an upper box body 1 and a lower box body 2. The bottom end of the upper box body 1 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the lower box body 2. A fixing member 3 is fixedly connected to the front side of the upper box body 1. A handle 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the lower box body 2. A latch 6 is fixedly connected to the front side of the lower box body 2. A sponge pad 10 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the lower box body 2. A connecting rod 17 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the connecting rod 17. A bearing plate 8 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the bearing plate 8. A movable plate 7 is provided on the upper side of the partition plate 11. A rack 18 is fixedly connected to the upper interior. A residual tooth 19 is slidably connected to the left side of the movable plate 7. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the right side of the residual tooth 19. A protrusion 20 is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting rod. A sliding plate 21 is slidably connected to the front side of the movable plate 7. A partition plate 9 is provided on the upper side of the interior of the lower box 2. A rotating plate 14 is provided inside the lower box 2. A gear 12 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the rotating plate 14. A connecting rod 16 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the interior of the lower box 2. A gear 2 15 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting rod 16. The upper side of the connecting rod 16 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the bearing plate 8.

[0024] Specifically, when the device is in use, lifting the latch 6 will disengage the hook from the fixing part 3, thereby opening the box. When the box opens upward, it will drive the rotating plate 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 12 to rotate. Since the gear 12 and the rotating plate 14 are rotatably connected inside the lower 2 of the box, they will not move. The rack 13 on the lower side will move to the right, thereby driving the gear 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 16 to rotate. Therefore, the bearing plate 8 will move upward. During this process, two connecting rods 17 maintain the stability of the bearing plate 8. Under the action of gravity and the action of the connecting rods 17, it will move backward and always keep facing upward. In general, when the device is opened backward and placed horizontally, the internal bearing plate 8 will also move backward and keep facing upward. This can greatly save the internal space of the device and eliminate concerns about spillage of internal items. The sponge pad 10 inside the device can cover the objects on the upper side of the bearing plate 8 when closed to prevent them from falling off. After being flipped over, it can serve as a support for the bearing plate 8, increasing the height of the bearing plate 8. When encountering objects of different sizes, the sliding plates 21 on both sides of the movable plate 7 can be pressed. The protruding structure on the back of the sliding plate 21 will press the protrusion 20, forcing the protrusion 20 to move towards the center of the device, thereby driving the residual tooth 19 to move to the right. The rack 18 loses the constraint of the residual tooth 19, and the movable plate 7 can slide freely between the support plate 8 and the partition plate 11. After releasing, the internal spring 5 will push the baffle to the left, driving the connecting rod to move to the left, and the protrusion 20 moving to the left will push the sliding plate 21, so that it can be used multiple times.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4A rack 13 is slidably connected to the lower side of the lower box 2. Gear 12 is meshed with the upper side of rack 13, and gear 2 15 is meshed with the upper side of rack 13. The upper side of rotating plate 14 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the upper box 1. A groove is provided on the rear side of the lower box 2. A groove is provided inside the left side of movable plate 7. A baffle is slidably connected inside the groove. A spring 5 is provided on the right side of the baffle. The inner wall of the baffle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod. The inner side of the spring 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod, and the outer wall of the spring 5 is located on the right side of the baffle.

[0026] Specifically, when using this toolbox, the groove on the rear side of the lower 2 of the box body facilitates the movement of components such as the rotating plate 14 when the box body is opened. When the upper 1 of the box body is opened, the rotating plate 14 rotates, and the gear 12 fixed to the rotating plate 14 rotates accordingly. Because the gear 12 and the rotating plate 14 rotate inside the lower 2 of the box body, the rack 13 slides to the right under the meshing action of the gear 12. The rack 13 then meshes with the gear 2 15, thereby driving the gear 2 15 to rotate, causing the connecting rod 16 fixed on the upper side of the gear 2 15 to rotate, thus allowing the support plate 8 to move upward. At the same time, the two connecting rods 2 17 ensure the stability of the support plate 8 during the movement. Under the action of gravity and the connecting rods 2 17, the support plate 8 moves backward and remains facing upward. When the position of the movable plate 7 needs to be adjusted to accommodate items of different sizes, press the sliding plate 21 on the front side of the movable plate 7. The protruding structure on its rear side squeezes the protrusion 20, causing the residual tooth 19 to move to the right. This disengages the rack 18 on the partition plate 11 from the constraint of the residual tooth 19, allowing the movable plate 7 to slide freely between the support plate 8 and the partition plate 11. After releasing the pressure, the spring 5 pushes the baffle to the left, causing the connecting rod and the protrusion 20 to move to the left, lifting the sliding plate 21 to prepare for the next adjustment.

[0027] Working Principle: When opening the toolbox, the latch 6 is lifted upwards, the hook disengages from the fixing part 3, and the upper part of the toolbox 1 opens upwards around the rotating connection between it and the lower part of the toolbox 2. Since the upper side of the rotating plate 14 is fixed to the lower side of the interior of the upper part of the toolbox 1, the rotation of the upper part of the toolbox 1 drives the rotating plate 14 to rotate, and the gear 12 fixedly connected to the rotating plate 14 rotates accordingly. The gear 12 and the rotating plate 14 rotate inside the lower part of the toolbox 2, and their rotation drives the rack 13 to slide to the right inside the lower part of the lower part of the toolbox 2 through a meshing relationship. The rack 13 and the gear 15 are also meshed. The sliding of the rack 13 drives the gear 15 to rotate, which in turn causes the connecting rod 16 fixed to the upper side of the gear 15 to rotate, ultimately causing the support plate 8 to move upwards. During this process, the two connecting rods 17 maintain the stability of the support plate 8. Under the combined action of gravity and the connecting rods 17, the support plate 8 moves backwards and always remains facing upwards, achieving the function of saving space inside the toolbox and preventing items from spilling.

[0028] When adjusting the position of the movable plate 7 to accommodate objects of different volumes, pressing the sliding plate 21 on the front of the movable plate 7 causes the protruding structure on the rear of the sliding plate 21 to press against the protrusion 20. This causes the residual tooth 19, which is fixedly connected to the protrusion 20, to slide from left to right inside the movable plate 7. This removes the constraint of the residual tooth 19 from the rack 18, which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the partition plate 11, allowing the movable plate 7 to slide freely between the support plate 8 and the partition plate 11. After releasing the sliding plate 21, the spring 5 on the right side of the baffle in the inner groove on the left side of the movable plate 7 returns to its original shape, pushing the baffle to the left. This causes the connecting rod and the protrusion 20, which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the baffle, to move to the left. The protrusion 20 moves to the left, lifting the sliding plate 21, so that the position of the movable plate 7 can be adjusted again later.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
