Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toolbox technology, specifically relating to a multifunctional irregularly shaped toolbox with adjustable partitions. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to this utility model and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Currently, most toolboxes adopt a regular cubic structure with a fixed layout, which cannot adapt to the irregular contours of dump trailers. Dump trailers often have irregular shapes, such as trapezoids, arcs, or irregular contours with inclined surfaces. This structural mismatch results in a large number of unused gaps between the outer wall of the toolbox and the internal structure of the trailer after installation, leaving a lot of idle space between the inner wall of the toolbox and the trailer structure, resulting in low space utilization.

[0004] Most existing toolboxes have a fixed internal layout, typically using a simple layered or compartmentalized structure, which cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the actual size and shape of the tools. The storage units in toolboxes usually lack expandable or retractable functions, preventing users from optimizing the storage layout to suit different work needs and further reducing space utilization. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a multi-functional irregularly shaped toolbox with adjustable partitions, which solves the problems that existing toolboxes cannot fully utilize the irregular space of vehicles and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the actual size and shape of the tools.

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

[0007] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a multifunctional irregularly shaped toolbox with adjustable partitions, comprising: an irregularly shaped shell; multiple partitions are provided in the irregularly shaped shell, the length of the partitions is variable, positioning pins and permanent magnets are provided at both ends of the partitions, multiple sets of positioning grooves are provided on the inner wall of the irregularly shaped shell, the positioning pins cooperate with the positioning grooves to fix the partitions, and the permanent magnets are adsorbed on the inner wall of the irregularly shaped shell; positioning grooves are also provided on both sides of the partitions for connecting adjacent partitions.

[0008] As a further implementation, a cover plate is also included, which is fixedly connected to the irregularly shaped shell by a hinge; a gas strut is also provided between the cover plate and the irregularly shaped shell, and the two ends of the gas strut are connected by ball joints.

[0009] As a further implementation, a workbench is provided on the inner wall of the cover plate. The workbench is connected to the cover plate by a hinge, and a magnetic attraction device is provided on the inner side of the cover plate. The magnetic attraction device uses magnetic force to attract the workbench to the inner side of the cover plate.

[0010] As a further implementation, the workbench is composed of multiple steel plates connected by hinges. The shape of the workbench is the same as that of the cover plate, but its size is smaller than that of the cover plate. The workbench is equipped with a handle.

[0011] As a further implementation, the end of the cover plate away from the hinge is provided with a locking pin via a mounting base, the mounting base being provided with a waist hole, and the locking pin being fixed and moved in the waist hole by fasteners.

[0012] As a further implementation, the irregularly shaped housing is provided with a lock for locking the irregularly shaped toolbox in conjunction with the locking pin.

[0013] As a further implementation, both the irregularly shaped shell and the cover plate are made of bent steel plates.

[0014] As a further implementation, the positioning pin is a fixed pin or a telescopic pin; the fixed pin has a cylindrical structure and is directly embedded in the end of the partition; the telescopic pin consists of a press-type locking mechanism, a fixed cylinder and a telescopic rod, the press-type locking mechanism and the telescopic cylinder are both disposed in the fixed cylinder, and the fixed cylinder is embedded in the end of the partition.

[0015] As a further implementation, the partition is a multi-layer nested plate, and is composed of at least two layers of plates; the size of each layer of the multi-layer nested plate decreases progressively, with the outer layer being the largest and the inner layer being the smallest, and the multi-layer nested plates are nested together by sliding rails or guide grooves.

[0016] As a further implementation, a tool storage device is also provided on the inner side wall of the irregularly shaped shell, and a magnetic accessory is provided on the outer side wall of the tool storage device. The magnetic accessory cooperates with the permanent magnet to fix the tool storage device on the inner side wall of the irregularly shaped shell.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model toolbox features an irregularly shaped shell, allowing it to fit snugly into irregularly shaped spaces. This avoids the unused dead corners of traditional rectangular toolboxes, improving vehicle space utilization. The dividers are variable in length and doubly secured by positioning pins and permanent magnets, allowing for free adjustment of their position and angle. This enables quick division of storage compartments of different sizes to accommodate diverse items such as tools and accessories. The insertion of positioning pins into the shell's positioning grooves prevents lateral displacement, while the permanent magnets suppress longitudinal swaying, providing double protection for the dividers' stability in bumpy vehicle environments. The positioning grooves on the sides of the dividers support the splicing of adjacent dividers, forming a grid-like reinforced structure to further enhance overall load-bearing capacity. The positioning pins can be manually inserted or removed, or the magnetic surfaces can be separated, facilitating cleaning of the box's interior or dynamic reconfiguration based on item size. The use of universal positioning pin grooves reduces mold costs, and the number of dividers can be adjusted to suit different vehicle models, achieving multi-scenario coverage for a single product.

[0019] The workbench of this utility model is composed of multiple steel plates, which are assembled together using hinges to achieve a folding function. When not in use, it can be folded up and fixed to the cover plate by magnetic attraction. When needed, it can be unfolded and laid flat on the top of the irregular shell. The workbench is equipped with a handle for easy use. When it is necessary to retrieve tools or accessories from the toolbox at any time, the workbench can be partially unfolded, so that it is not necessary to frequently lift the cover plate when repairing parts.
