Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toolbox technology, specifically a toolbox conversion structure. Background Technology

[0002] A toolbox is a container or device used to store, organize, and carry various tools, widely used in homes, industries, repair shops, and electrical work. Its main function is to centrally store tools, preventing loss or clutter, while also facilitating transport and protecting tools from damage. Toolboxes are typically designed with layered, compartmentalized, or modular structures for easy classification and management, improving work efficiency. Furthermore, some professional toolboxes are shockproof, waterproof, or anti-static to suit specific work environments (such as electrical work or precision instrument repair). Toolboxes are made from various materials, including plastic and metal, with different materials suitable for different scenarios. For example, metal toolboxes are more durable and suitable for construction sites, while plastic toolboxes are lightweight and suitable for home use.

[0003] When using a toolbox, most existing toolboxes use dividers to categorize tools or parts. However, this requires opening the entire toolbox lid, which can easily lead to confusion when retrieving tools or parts, making it inconvenient to select the right parts or tools later. Furthermore, existing toolboxes do not allow users to switch between different storage spaces based on the type of tool or part to select the appropriate tool or part.

[0004] In view of this, we propose a toolbox conversion structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a toolbox conversion structure that solves the problem that existing toolboxes cannot switch and open the storage space inside the toolbox.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A toolbox conversion structure includes a box body and a base. A handle is provided on the side of the box body. It also includes a switching assembly for classifying and switching parts placed inside the box body. The switching assembly includes a top cover located inside the box body and fixedly connected to it. A ratchet gear is rotatably connected to the inside of the box body. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the top surface of the ratchet gear. A connecting frame is passed through and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. A classification box is passed through and slidably connected to the inside of the connecting frame. A guide block is fixedly connected to the side of the classification box. A sealing block is also passed through and slidably connected to the inside of the connecting frame. There are two sets of classification boxes, both sets located inside the connecting frame and slidably connected to it.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing, a guide groove is provided on the inner side of the fixing sleeve, the connecting frame is located inside the fixing sleeve, and the connecting frame is rotatably connected to the fixing sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the guide groove is divided into two sections, one section of which is arc-shaped and the other section is annular, and the arc-shaped and annular parts of the guide groove are connected.

[0010] Preferably, a guide block is also fixedly connected to the side of the sealing block, and both the sealing block and the guide block fixedly connected to the side of the sorting box are inserted into the inner side of the guide groove.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating ring is fitted on the outer side of the box, and the rotating ring is rotatably connected to the box.

[0012] Preferably, a pull rod passes through the inner side of the rotating ring, the pull rod is slidably connected to the rotating ring, and a pawl is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod located on the inner side of the rotating ring, the pawl meshing with a ratchet gear.

[0013] Preferably, a spring is sleeved on the outer side of the pull rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating ring, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the pull rod.

[0014] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a toolbox conversion structure. It possesses at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model utilizes the engagement of a pawl and a ratchet gear, where pulling the lever drives the ratchet gear to rotate in one direction. A spring ensures the lever returns to its original position and maintains stable engagement between the pawl and the ratchet gear. When the ratchet gear rotates, it drives the rotating shaft and connecting frame to rotate synchronously. Inside the connecting frame, two sets of sorting boxes and a sealing block slide along the guide groove of the fixed sleeve via guide blocks. The arc-shaped section of the guide groove causes radial displacement of the sorting boxes during rotation, enabling alternating switching of the sorting boxes. Through the reciprocating operation of the rotating ring, the positions of the two sets of sorting boxes can be cyclically switched, achieving the function of sorting and retrieving parts within the toolbox.

[0016] 2. This utility model, by continuing to rotate the rotating ring, drives the ratchet gear to rotate via the pawl, causing the sealing block inside the connecting frame to seal the opening in the top cover. This prevents parts and tools inside the sorting box from spilling out during transportation and handling. The annular section maintains the stable position of the sorting box. The top cover is fixed to the inside of the box to ensure structural sealing. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] A toolbox conversion structure, such as Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown, the device includes a housing 1 and a base 3. A handle 4 is provided on the side of the housing 1. It also includes a switching assembly 2 for classifying and switching the parts placed inside the housing 1. The switching assembly 2 includes a top cover 21, which is located inside the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A ratchet 27 is rotatably connected to the inside of the housing 1. A rotating shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the ratchet 27. A connecting frame 214 is fixedly connected through the rotating shaft 22. A classification box 25 is slidably connected through the inside of the connecting frame 214. A guide block 26 is fixedly connected to the side of the classification box 25. A sealing block 23 is slidably connected through the inside of the connecting frame 214. There are two sets of classification boxes 25, and both sets of classification boxes 25 are located inside the connecting frame 214 and are slidably connected to the connecting frame 214. A fixing sleeve 28 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing 1. A guide groove 29 is provided on the inner side of the fixing sleeve 28. A connecting frame 214 is located inside the fixing sleeve 28 and is rotatably connected to the fixing sleeve 28. When the ratchet gear 27 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 22 and the connecting frame 214 to rotate synchronously. The two sets of sorting boxes 25 and the sealing block 23 inside the connecting frame 214 slide along the guide groove 29 of the fixing sleeve 28 via the guide block 26. The guide groove 29 is divided into two sections: one section is arc-shaped, and the other is annular. The arc-shaped and annular sections of the guide groove 29 are connected. The arc-shaped section of the guide groove 29 causes radial displacement of the sorting boxes 25 during rotation, enabling the alternating switching of the sorting boxes 25; the annular section maintains the stable position of the sorting boxes 25. The top cover 21 is fixed to the inner side of the housing 1 to ensure structural sealing. The fixing sleeve 28 provides rotational support, allowing the connecting frame 214 to rotate smoothly. The sealing block 23 cooperates with the sorting box 25 to seal off unused compartments during switching, preventing parts from scattering. A guide block 26 is also fixedly connected to the side of the sealing block 23, and both the sealing block 23 and the guide block 26 fixedly connected to the side of the sorting box 25 are inserted into the inner side of the guide groove 29. A rotating ring 210 is fitted onto the outer side of the housing 1, and the rotating ring 210 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. A pull rod 211 passes through the inner side of the rotating ring 210, and the pull rod 211 is slidably connected to the rotating ring 210. A pawl 212 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod 211 located inside the rotating ring 210. When the user operates the rotating ring 210, it drives the pull rod 211 and the pawl 212 to move. Since the pawl 212 meshes with the ratchet gear 27, pulling the pull rod 211 can drive the ratchet gear 27 to rotate in one direction. Spring 213 ensures that the pull rod 211 returns to its original position and maintains stable engagement between the pawl 212 and the ratchet 27. The pawl 212 and the ratchet 27 are engaged. Spring 213 is sleeved on the outer side of the pull rod 211. One end of spring 213 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating ring 210, and the other end of spring 213 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the pull rod 211.

[0026] In this utility model, a toolbox conversion structure is used in which the box body 1 and the base 3 form the main frame, and the handle 4 on the side of the box body 1 facilitates carrying. The switching component 2 realizes the classification switching function through the linkage of ratchet 27, rotating shaft 22 and connecting frame 214. When the user operates the rotating ring 210, it drives the pull rod 211 and the pawl 212 to move. Since the pawl 212 is engaged with the ratchet 27, pulling the pull rod 211 can drive the ratchet 27 to rotate in one direction. The spring 213 ensures that the pull rod 211 returns to its original position and maintains the stable engagement of the pawl 212 and the ratchet 27. When the ratchet 27 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 22 and the connecting frame 214 to rotate synchronously. The two sets of classification boxes 25 and the sealing block 23 inside the connecting frame 214 slide along the guide groove 29 of the fixed sleeve 28 through the guide block 26. The arc-shaped section of the guide groove 29 causes the classification box 25 to generate radial displacement when rotating, realizing the alternating switching of the classification box 25; the annular section maintains the stable position of the classification box 25. The top cover 21 is fixed to the inside of the box 1 to ensure structural sealing. The fixing sleeve 28 provides rotational support, allowing the connecting frame 214 to rotate smoothly. The sealing block 23 cooperates with the sorting box 25 to seal off unused compartments during switching, preventing parts from scattering. By reciprocating the rotation ring 210, the positions of the two sets of sorting boxes 25 can be switched cyclically, realizing the function of sorting and retrieving parts in the toolbox.

[0027] Furthermore, after the toolbox is used up, the rotating ring 210 can be rotated to drive the ratchet 27 to rotate through the pawl 212, so that the sealing block 23 on the inner side of the connecting frame 214 seals the gap 24 of the top cover 21, thereby preventing the parts and tools in the sorting box 25 from spilling out of the box 1 during transportation and handling.
