[0050] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0051] In related technologies, small tools such as screwdriver bits, drill bits, and sockets are typically stored in toolboxes with designated storage compartments. When in use, the toolbox is placed on the workbench. However, with the tools laid flat inside, the user must bend over to see the tool type and specifications (such as the pH / PZ2 of the screwdriver bit, the diameter of the drill bit, and the size of the socket), making it inconvenient to observe and access the tools.

[0052] In view of this, this application provides a base and an adjustment seat. The top surface of the adjustment seat has a tool storage compartment. The adjustment seat can be switched between a horizontal position and an inclined position by pressing. When the adjustment seat is in the horizontal position, the top surface of the adjustment seat is approximately parallel to the bottom surface of the base. When the adjustment seat is in the inclined position, the top surface of the adjustment seat is inclined relative to the bottom surface of the base. When the adjustment seat is in the inclined position, the top surface of the adjustment seat tilts towards the user, thereby facilitating the user's observation and retrieval of tools stored on the adjustment seat.

[0053] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Example 1

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the tool storage container includes a base 100 and an adjustment seat 200 connected to the base 100. The top surface 220 of the adjustment seat 200 is provided with a plurality of tool storage slots 210 for storing tools. For example, the tool storage slots 210 may include a bit storage slot, a socket storage slot, a brush storage slot, etc. The adjustment seat 200 can rotate around a first axis between a first position and a second position. When the adjustment seat 200 is in the first position, the top surface 220 of the adjustment seat 200 is approximately parallel to the bottom surface 110 of the base 100, thereby making the shape of the tool storage container more regular, which facilitates the packaging, transportation and storage of the tool storage container. When the adjustment seat 200 is in the second position, the top surface 220 of the adjustment seat 200 is inclined relative to the bottom surface 110 of the base 100. When the user uses the tool storage container, the adjustment seat 200 is adjusted to the second position so that the inclined surface of the adjustment seat 200 faces the user, which makes it easier for the user to observe and identify the tools stored on the adjustment seat 200, and to easily pick up and put away the tools stored on the adjustment seat 200.

[0055] For example, the adjusting seat 200 is rotatably mounted on the base 100 via a first pivot. The adjusting seat 200 is configured such that pressing the first side 230 of the top surface 220 of the adjusting seat 200 rotates the adjusting seat 200 to a second position, pressing the second side 240 of the top surface 220 of the adjusting seat 200 rotates the adjusting seat 200 to a first position, and the first side 230 and the second side 240 of the top surface 220 of the adjusting seat 200 are located in a first direction (e.g., Figure 1On both sides of the X direction shown, the first direction is perpendicular to the first axis, which is the axis of the first rotating shaft. In this embodiment, the tool storage container has a front and a back. When the adjustment seat 200 is in the second position and the inclined top surface 220 of the adjustment seat 200 faces the user, the side closer to the user is the front side. The first side 230 of the adjustment seat 200 is the front side of the adjustment seat 200, and the second side 240 of the adjustment seat 200 is the rear side of the adjustment seat 200. This setting facilitates the position change of the adjustment seat 200. When adjusting the adjustment seat 200, pressing the front part of the adjustment seat 200 will rotate the adjustment seat 200 to the second position under the action of the pressing force, and pressing the rear part of the adjustment seat 200 will adjust the adjustment seat 200 to the first position under the action of the pressing force.

[0056] For example, the first rotating shaft consists of two shaft protrusions 120, which are located on both sides of the adjusting seat 200 in the direction of the first axis.

[0057] In some embodiments, one of the adjusting seat 200 or the base 100 is provided with a first limiting structure (not shown in the figure), and the other is provided with a second limiting structure (not shown in the figure) and a third limiting structure (not shown in the figure). The second limiting structure and the third limiting structure cooperate with the first limiting structure to limit the position of the adjusting seat 200, allowing it to rotate between a first position and a second position. The limiting structure facilitates the position switching operation of the adjusting seat 200, enabling it to maintain the adjusted position after adjustment.

[0058] The first limiting structure includes a ball bearing, which is mounted on the base 100 and can roll in place. The second and third limiting structures are spaced-apart limiting slots. When the ball bearing is within the second limiting structure, the adjusting seat 200 is in the first position; when the ball bearing is within the third limiting structure, the adjusting seat 200 is in the second position. The rolling ball bearing design makes the position change of the adjusting seat 200 smoother.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first sidewall 250 of the adjustment base 200 has a clearance notch 251. The first sidewall 250 is on the same side as the first sidewall 230. When the adjustment base 200 is in the second position, the edge of the clearance notch 251 roughly coincides with the lower edge of the base 100. This design allows the adjustment base 200 to switch between the first and second positions and makes the tool storage container more aesthetically pleasing.

[0060] Continue reading Figure 2In some embodiments of this application, the tool storage position 210 includes a bit storage position for storing bits 300. When the adjustment seat 200 is in the second position, the heads of the bits 300 stored in the bit storage position point upwards towards the upper part of the adjustment seat 200. With the heads of the bits 300 facing upwards, it is convenient for the user to observe and identify the type of the bits 300, and it is also convenient for the user to pick up the bits 300.

[0061] In this embodiment of the application, the shape of the tool storage container can be as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shape shown is roughly that of a cuboid, but it can also be as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The shape shown is roughly cylindrical, but it can also be a frustum shape, etc., without specific limitations.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the tool storage container further includes a top cover 400, which covers the top surface 220 of the adjustment seat 200 to cover the tools stored on the top surface 220 of the adjustment seat 200.

[0063] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bottom surface 110 of the base 100 is provided with a storage cavity 130 and a bottom cover 140 for sealing or opening the storage cavity 130. The storage cavity 130 is configured as a storage tool.

[0064] This application also provides a tool kit, which includes accessories for manual or power tools, and a tool storage container for any of the above-described solutions. The accessories for the manual or power tools include screwdriver bits 300, drill bits, and sockets. Example 2

[0065] The tool storage container provided in this embodiment is basically the same as the tool storage container in Embodiment 1, except that: Figure 7 As shown, the tool storage compartment 210 includes a bit storage compartment for storing bits 300. The top surface 220 of the adjusting base 200 is provided with an insertion hole 260, which is configured to hold a screwdriver 500. That is, in this embodiment, the screwdriver 500 used with the bit 300 can be inserted into the insertion hole 260. When the tool storage container is in use, the screwdriver 500 can be placed in the tool storage container in an inserted manner, which is convenient for taking out and putting away the screwdriver 500.

[0066] For example, the tool storage container has a rectangular structure, and the insertion hole 260 is located at the upper end of the top surface 220 of the adjustment base 200. When the adjustment base 200 is in the second position, the rear side of the adjustment base 200 is raised, thereby allowing the screwdriver 500 to be inserted deeper, making the screwdriver 500 inserted in the insertion hole 260 more stable and reducing the possibility of it tipping over. Furthermore, after the screwdriver 500 is inserted into the insertion hole 260, the rear side wall of the adjustment base 200 can prevent the screwdriver 500 from tipping over.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the insertion hole 260 communicates with the storage cavity 130 disposed on the base 100. This further increases the insertion depth of the screwdriver 500, making the screwdriver 500 inserted in the insertion hole 260 more stable and reducing the possibility of it tipping out.

[0068] For example, the storage cavity 130 has a screwdriver 500 storage position, and the insertion hole 260 communicates with the screwdriver 500 storage position. Storing the screwdriver 500 in the storage cavity 130 of the base 100 can make room for the adjustment seat 200 to set up a bit 300 storage position, so that the tool storage container equipped with screwdriver 500 and bit 300 can store more bit 300 on the smallest possible top surface area 220. Furthermore, the insertion hole 260 is connected to the screwdriver 500 storage compartment, allowing the lower end of the screwdriver 500 to extend into the storage compartment when inserted into the insertion hole 260. This increases the insertion depth of the screwdriver 500 into the insertion hole 260, enabling the screwdriver 500 to be placed more stably on the tool storage container and reducing the risk of it tipping over. Since both the insertion hole 260 and the screwdriver 500 storage compartment are used to store the screwdriver 500, their use will not interfere with each other. When the screwdriver 500 is inserted into the insertion hole 260, the screwdriver 500 storage space is idle. The screwdriver 500 can pass through the insertion hole 260 and extend into the screwdriver 500 storage space. When the screwdriver 500 is stored in the screwdriver 500 storage space, the insertion hole 260 is idle, and the screwdriver 500 can be placed horizontally in the screwdriver 500 storage space without obstruction. This design cleverly and fully utilizes the space of the tool storage container, so that the screwdriver 500 storage space can be used for horizontal storage of the screwdriver 500, and in conjunction with the insertion hole 260, it can be used for vertical insertion of the screwdriver 500.

[0069] This application also provides a tool kit, which includes small hand tools and a tool storage container for any of the above-described solutions. The accessories for the manual or power tools include screwdriver bits 300, drill bits, and sockets.

[0070] Other embodiments of this application will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this application that follow the general principles of this application and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
