Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A toolbox is a box or container used to store tools. It is usually made of metal or plastic and has fixed or detachable dividers for easy categorization of tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches. Its design balances portability and protection, and it is widely used in homes, industries, and repair settings, making it a common device for tool management and carrying.

[0003] Utility model patent CN213005219U discloses a modular toolbox, including a box body with a accommodating cavity and a lid that is swayed on the box body for opening or closing the accommodating cavity. The lid has a handle for carrying. The box body is equipped with several detachable partitions. The partitions are divided into several compartments for placing tools by limiting structures located on the four side walls of the box body.

[0013] Furthermore, a synchronizing rod is fixedly connected to the top of the magnetic shielding block, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to the outside of the synchronizing rod.

[0014] Furthermore, a movable block is fixedly connected to the side of the magnetic shielding block near the connecting magnetic block, and the movable block is magnetically connected to the connecting magnetic block.

[0015] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the slide groove, and a connecting groove is provided on the back of the slider, and the limiting plate can be inserted into the interior of the connecting groove.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:

[0018] I. This utility model, by setting up components such as a sliding plug-in assembly and a positioning snap-fit ​​assembly, achieves initial fixation of the storage box through the sliding cooperation of the sliding groove and the slider, and the insertion of the fixing block into the fixing hole under the action of the spring. At the same time, after the plug-in plate in the positioning snap-fit ​​assembly is inserted into the plug-in groove, the positioning block is further locked under the magnetic attraction of the fixing magnet, so that multiple storage boxes can be combined and disassembled.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0031] See attached document Figure 1-6A modular toolbox includes: a storage box 1 and a protective cover 2. Both the storage box 1 and the protective cover 2 are provided with several sets of components. The top of the storage box 1 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 2 via a hinge. A sliding insertion assembly 3 is provided on one side of the storage box 1. The sliding insertion assembly 3 includes two sets of sliding grooves 31. A fixing block 32 is provided on the front side of the inner wall of the sliding groove 31. One side of a positioning block 44 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the sliding groove 31 by a spring. Two sets of sliders are fixedly connected to the other side of the storage box 1. 33. A fixing hole 34 is provided on the side of the slider 33 away from the slide groove 31. The fixing block 32 can be inserted into the fixing hole 34. A positioning snap-fit ​​assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the back of the storage box 1. The positioning snap-fit ​​assembly 4 includes a positioning plate 41. A plug-in plate 42 is slidably connected to the back of the positioning plate 41. A plug-in groove 43 is provided on the top of the storage box 1. A positioning block 44 is slidably connected to the top of the positioning plate 41. A fixing magnet 45 is provided on the side of the positioning block 44 near the plug-in plate 42. 45 is fixedly connected inside the plug-in plate 42. The positioning block 44 can be inserted into one side of the plug-in plate 42. The fixing magnet 45 is magnetically connected to the positioning block 44. The plug-in plate 42 can be inserted into the plug-in slot 43. The storage box 1 and the protective cover 2 are rotatably connected by a hinge, allowing the storage box 1 to be opened and closed. Two sets of sliding grooves 31 on one side of the storage box 1 cooperate with two sets of sliders 33 on another storage box 1, so that the sliders 33 slide along the sliding grooves 31. The fixing block 32 is inserted into the fixing hole 34 of the slider 33 under the action of the spring, realizing the fixed connection between the storage boxes 1. The plug-in plate 42 on the back of the positioning plate 41 in the positioning snap-fit ​​assembly 4 can be inserted into the plug-in slot 43 of another storage box 1. The positioning block 44 is inserted into one side of the plug-in plate 42 under the magnetic attraction of the fixing magnet 45, further enhancing the connection stability between the storage boxes 1, thereby realizing the combination and disassembly of multiple storage boxes 1, making it convenient for users to carry some tools according to their needs and improving the ease of use of the toolbox.

[0032] A movable block 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed block 32 near the spring. A movable groove 6 is opened on the inner wall of the storage box 1 near the spring. The movable block 5 is movably connected inside the movable groove 6. The movable block 5 is connected to the side of the fixed block 32 near the spring. The movable block 5 moves in the movable groove 6, which can drive the fixed block 32 to compress the spring, making it easy for the fixed block 32 to be removed from the fixed hole 34, realizing the disassembly of the storage box 1. At the same time, the limiting effect of the movable block 5 in the movable groove 6 can ensure the stability of the movement of the fixed block 32. Several sets of connecting magnetic blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the outside of the protective cover 2. A magnetic isolation block 8 is provided on the outside of the connecting magnetic block 7. The bottom of the magnetic isolation block 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover 2 by spring embedding. The connecting magnetic blocks 7 on the outside of the protective cover 2 can be magnetically connected to other protective covers 2, which makes it convenient for users to open several protective covers 2 at the same time. The magnetic isolation block 8 can cover or move away from the connecting magnetic block 7 under the action of the spring. When the magnetic blocking block 8 covers the connecting magnetic block 7, it can block magnetism and facilitate the opening of the protective cover 2 separately. The top of the plug-in plate 42 is fixedly connected to the moving rod 9, and the bottom surface inside the positioning plate 41 is fixedly connected to the buffer block 10. The moving rod 9 on the top of the plug-in plate 42 can be easily moved manually to slide the plug-in plate 42 on the back of the positioning plate 41. The buffer block 10 on the bottom surface inside the positioning plate 41 can buffer when the plug-in plate 42 moves, reduce impact, and protect the parts. The top of the rear side of the inner wall of the plug-in groove 43 is rotatably connected to the protective plate 11 by a torsion spring. The bottom of the protective plate 11 is fixedly connected to the support block 12. The outer side of the bottom of the support block 12 is inserted into the top of the storage box 1. The protective plate 11 on the top of the rear side of the inner wall of the plug-in groove 43 is rotated by a torsion spring. When the plug-in plate 42 is inserted into the plug-in groove 43, the protective plate 11 is reset under the action of the torsion spring, and the support block 12 at the bottom is inserted into the top of the storage box 1, which enhances the reliability of the connection.

[0033] A synchronizing rod 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the magnetic shielding block 8, and a connecting block 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the synchronizing rod 13. The synchronizing rod 13 on the top of the magnetic shielding block 8 allows for easy manual movement of several sets of magnetic shielding blocks 8, enhancing the convenience of movement of the magnetic shielding block 8 and making the magnetic control between the magnetic shielding block 8 and the connecting magnetic block 7 more flexible. The connecting block 14 allows for easy movement of the synchronizing rod 13. A movable block 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the magnetic shielding block 8 near the connecting magnetic block 7, and the movable block 15 is magnetically connected to the connecting magnetic block 7. When the magnetic shielding block 8 moves down to shield the connecting magnetic block 7, the connecting magnetic block 7 can move the movable block 15. The magnetic connection allows the movable block 15 to move and limit the movement of the magnetic shielding block 8, ensuring that the magnetic shielding block 8 always maintains its magnetic shielding effect on the connecting magnetic block 7. After the magnetic shielding block 8 moves upward, its bottom will shield the connecting magnetic block 7, preventing the connecting block 14 from adsorbing the movable block 15 and moving. The rear side of the inner wall of the slide groove 31 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 16. The back of the slider 33 is provided with a connecting groove 17, and the limiting plate 16 can be inserted into the connecting groove 17. The limiting plate 16 on the rear side of the inner wall of the slide groove 31 cooperates with the connecting groove 17 on the back of the slider 33, which can play a positioning role when the storage box 1 slides, preventing the storage box 1 from shifting during the sliding process and ensuring the connection accuracy and stability of the sliding plug-in assembly 3.

[0034] Working principle: In use, first select the appropriate number of storage boxes 1 according to the tool carrying requirements. During horizontal assembly, align the slider 33 on the side of one storage box 1 with the groove 31 of another storage box 1. Push the slider 33 along the groove 31 to make it slide smoothly. When the slider 33 enters the groove 31, it will push the fixing block 32 to move, causing the fixing block 32 to compress the spring and move. After the slider 33 moves to its limit, the fixing block 32 on the front side of the inner wall of the groove 31 will automatically insert into the fixing hole 34 of the slider 33 under the spring force, completing the fixing between the storage boxes 1. Simultaneously, during vertical assembly, the insertion plate 42 on the back of the storage box 1 can be moved upwards first, followed by the insertion of the other storage box 1. The protective plate 11 on the top of the assembled storage box 1 is flipped by a torsion spring. After the storage boxes 1 are aligned, the plug plate 42 of the storage box 1 can be moved down and inserted into the plug slot 43 on the top of another storage box 1. Then, the positioning block 44 is moved to the inside of the plug plate 42. The positioning block 44 is stably fixed to the plug plate 42 under the magnetic attraction of the fixing magnet 45. In addition, the structure of the support block 12 inserted into the top of the storage box 1 after the protective plate 11 is reset by the torsion spring further enhances the connection stability of the assembly. After multiple storage boxes 1 are assembled together, there are pre-reserved insertion holes on the outside of the storage box 1. The whole assembly can be moved by the insertion adjustable handling handle.

[0035] When it is necessary to open the protective cover 2, if multiple protective covers 2 need to be opened simultaneously, the magnetic blocking block 8 can be pulled upward by the synchronizing rod 13 to move it away from the connecting magnetic block 7. At this time, the magnetism of the connecting magnetic block 7 is released, and the connecting magnetic blocks 7 of adjacent protective covers 2 will attract each other to achieve synchronous opening. If it is necessary to open a certain protective cover 2 alone, simply press down on the magnetic blocking block 8 on the protective cover 2 to cover the connecting magnetic block 7 and block the magnetism, and the protective cover 2 can be opened alone.

[0036] When it is necessary to disassemble the storage box 1, if it is only a horizontal connection, simply pull the moving block 5 on one side of the fixing block 32 inward, so that it slides in the moving groove 6 and compresses the spring, causing the fixing block 32 to exit from the fixing hole 34 of the slider 33. Only one storage box 1 needs to be moved forward. If it is a vertical connection, the positioning block 44 needs to be moved out of the plug plate 42 first, then the protective plate 11 needs to be opened, and then the moving rod 9 needs to be lifted to make the plug plate 42 disengage from the plug groove 43. The storage boxes 1 can then be disassembled one by one. At the same time, the limiting plate 16 on the inner wall of the slide groove 31 and the connecting groove 17 on the back of the slider 33 always keep in cooperation to ensure that there is no deviation during the sliding process. This allows for the combination and disassembly of multiple storage boxes 1, making it convenient for users to carry some tools as needed and improving the ease of use of the toolbox.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
