Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] A type of vehicle step toolbox, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the device includes a box body 1. A ramp 2 is inclined at the opening of the box body 1. A horizontal plate 3, rotatably connected to the opening of the box body 1, is located at the opening of the box body 1. The horizontal plate 3 covers the horizontal opening. A side cover 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the horizontal plate 3 near the ramp 2. The side cover 4 covers the ramp 2. A groove 5 is provided on the side wall of the side cover 4. A locking mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the groove 5. A mounting bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box body 1. A step tread 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting bracket 6. A second step tread 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the horizontal plate 3. Anti-slip teeth 14 are provided on the surfaces of both step tread 7 and step tread 8. The anti-slip teeth 14 increase the friction between the surfaces of step tread 7 and step tread 8, making them more stable when stepped on.
[0021] The locking mechanism includes a through hole in the inner wall of the groove 5, a rotating rod 9 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the through hole, a handle 10 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 9 extending into the groove 5, a fixing frame 11 fixedly connected to the side cover plate 4 near the box body 1, the other end of the rotating rod 9 rotatably connected to the fixing frame 11, a T-shaped card 12 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 9, and a boss 13 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1 to cooperate with the T-shaped card 12.
[0022] A bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the horizontal plate 3 near the box 1, and a bracket 2 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1. A pneumatic strut 16 is provided between the bracket 1 and the bracket 2 15. The specific structure of the pneumatic strut 16 is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The piston rod of the pneumatic strut 16 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the bracket 2 15, and the other end of the pneumatic strut 16 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the bracket 1.
[0023] Working principle: When the cabinet 1 is used as a ladder, rotate the horizontal plate 3 so that the horizontal plate 3 and the side cover plate 4 are closed at the opening of the cabinet 1. Then, hold the handle 10 and drive the rotating rod 9 to rotate. The rotating rod 9 can drive the T-shaped card 12 fixedly connected to it to rotate, so that the protruding part of the T-shaped card 12 rotates into the position below the boss 13 and is locked in the position below the boss 13, realizing the engagement between the T-shaped card 12 and the boss 13, keeping the horizontal plate 3 and the side cover plate 4 in the closed state. At this time, the second step plate 8 will be in the horizontal upward position. The first step plate 7 and the second step plate 8 can be used normally as a ladder. The second step plate 8 can also be used as a temporary table or a platform.
[0024] Meanwhile, the box 1 also has a certain storage space, which can be used to store commonly used tools and items. When it is necessary to open the side cover 4 and the horizontal plate 3, the handle 10 is held again to drive the rotating rod 9 to rotate. The rotating rod 9 drives the protruding part of the T-shaped card 12 to rotate away from the boss 13 and rotate out from under the boss 13. After the T-shaped card 12 is no longer locked to the bottom wall of the boss 13, the pneumatic support rod 16 can support and drive the horizontal plate 3 and the side cover 4 to rotate and open, realizing a smooth opening and allowing the items stored inside the box 1 to be retrieved. This makes the function of the box 1 more diversified and meets the needs of use in more situations.
[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
