Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment storage technology, and in particular to a modular box. Background Technology
[0002] In many fields such as electromechanical equipment, hardware tools, and precision molds, the storage and management of various tools, parts, and small equipment components is a key aspect of ensuring efficient work. To achieve orderly storage of these items, it is often necessary to combine multiple boxes. Currently, most boxes used for storing these items rely on traditional snap-fit or screw connections for assembly. When using snap-fit connections, not only is it necessary to precisely align the snap-fit with the slot, but the structural stability of the snap-fit itself is also prone to decline under long-term and frequent operation, resulting in loose snap-fit or incomplete engagement, affecting the overall sturdiness of the assembled boxes. If screw connections are used, workers need to tighten each screw individually, a very time-consuming process, especially when multiple boxes need to be combined or the combined structure adjusted. A significant amount of time is spent on disassembling and installing screws, greatly reducing assembly efficiency and making it difficult to flexibly and quickly meet the needs of rapid assembly, adjustment, and even disassembly and transportation of boxes in actual work scenarios, seriously restricting the convenience and efficiency of the work. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This invention discloses a modular box composed of first and second boxes of different sizes. Multiple smaller second boxes can be arranged in parallel and placed on the upper and lower sides of the first box or other combined second boxes. During assembly, rapid positioning can be achieved through metal positioning posts and positioning slots, improving assembly efficiency. When the metal positioning post extends into the positioning slot, it extends into the energized coil, enhancing the magnetism generated by the coil. This magnetically attracts the metal insertion rod in the receiving slot, causing the metal insertion rod to move downward into the insertion slot of the metal positioning post, thus achieving a limiting position. During the movement of the entire modular box, the first and second boxes will not detach laterally, facilitating transportation. The drawers on the side walls of the first and second boxes can store components and equipment, facilitating quick access during on-site construction. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, a specific embodiment is provided below, and the utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0023] See Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a modular box, comprising a first box body 1, a second box body 2, a drawer 3, a divider 4, and a quick-assembly mechanism. The first box body 1 is larger than the second box body 2. The second box body 2 is disposed on the upper or lower side of the first box body 1 or another second box body 2. One side of the first box body 1 and the second box body 2 is open. The drawer 3 is disposed on the open side of the first box body 1 and the second box body 2. The divider 4 is disposed inside the drawer 3, dividing the drawer 3 into several storage spaces. The quick-assembly mechanism includes a metal positioning post 5, an energized coil 6, and a metal insertion rod. 7 and a return spring 8, the metal positioning posts 5 are spaced apart on the top surface of the first housing 1 and the top surface of the second housing 2, and the top of the metal positioning posts 5 are provided with insertion grooves 9. The bottom surface of the first housing 1 and the bottom surface of the second housing 2 are spaced apart with a plurality of positioning grooves 10. The top of the positioning grooves 10 is provided with receiving grooves 11. The energized coil 6 is embedded in the inner wall of the positioning groove 10. The metal insertion rod 7 is located in the receiving groove 11. The return spring 8 connects the top surface of the receiving groove 11 and the top end of the metal insertion rod 7. The metal positioning posts 5 extend into the positioning grooves 10 to move the metal insertion rod 7 into the insertion groove 9.
[0024] This utility model discloses a modular box for storing parts or equipment. It consists of a first box 1 and a second box 2 of different sizes, wherein the size of the first box 1 is larger than the size of the second box 2. The second boxes 2 can be arranged in parallel to form a row of modular boxes. The modular boxes can be placed on the top and bottom of other modular boxes or on the top and bottom of the first box 1 for stacking to maximize space utilization. Both the first box 1 and the second box 2 have open sides, and drawers 3 are provided on the open sides. The drawers 3 are pulled out and opened. Dividers 4 are provided inside the drawers 3. The dividers 4 are arranged in a cross pattern to divide the interior of the drawers 3 into several storage spaces. The storage spaces can be used to store different types of parts and equipment, realizing classified storage and facilitating quick retrieval of the corresponding parts or equipment during on-site construction.
[0025] Metal positioning posts 5 are provided on the top of both the first box 1 and the second box 2, and positioning grooves 10 are provided on the bottom of both the first box 1 and the second box 2. When stacking, the placement position of the boxes can be quickly determined based on the positions of the metal positioning posts 5 and the positioning grooves 10, so that the metal positioning posts 5 can enter the positioning grooves 10. An energized coil 6 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove 10. When the metal positioning post 5 enters the energized coil 6, the magnetism generated by the energized coil 6 is enhanced, thereby magnetically attracting the metal insertion rod 7 in the receiving groove 11, causing the metal insertion rod 7 to move downward and finally extend into the insertion groove 9, thus limiting the metal positioning post 5 and making it difficult for the first box 1 or the second box 2 to fall off laterally, ensuring stability during transportation. The quick alignment and magnetic fixation method eliminates the need for difficult-to-operate methods such as buckles or screws, which can improve the efficiency of assembly.
[0026] Preferably, it also includes a base plate 12, on which the first box 1 or the second box 2 is placed, and the metal insertion rods 7 are spaced apart on the upper surface of the base plate 12.
[0027] The base plate 12 is used to place the bottom first box 1 or the second box 2 to provide basic support.
[0028] Preferably, a moving mechanism is provided on the lower surface of the base plate 12. The moving mechanism includes a sleeve 13, a shock-absorbing spring 14, a bracket 15, and a moving wheel 16.

[0029] To facilitate movement, a moving mechanism is provided below the base plate 12. When the base plate 12 is pushed to move, it can be moved by the moving wheels 16, which facilitates transportation. In order to reduce the impact of vibration during transportation, a sleeve 13 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 12. The top of the bracket 15 for mounting the moving wheels 16 extends into the sleeve 13 and is connected to the shock-absorbing spring 14 to achieve the shock absorption effect.
[0030] Preferably, it also includes a hand-held push rod 17, which is disposed on the side wall of the base plate 12.
[0031] Workers can use the push rod 17 on the side wall to push the base plate 12 to move the combined container for transportation.
[0032] Preferably, the quick assembly mechanism further includes a hollow tube 18 and a lifting rod 19. The hollow tube 18 is disposed on the top surface of the receiving groove 11, the return spring 8 is located in the hollow tube 18, the top end of the lifting rod 19 extends into the hollow tube 18 and is connected to the return spring 8, and its bottom end is connected to the top end of the metal insertion rod 7.
[0033] When the metal insertion rod 7 moves downward under magnetic force, the lifting rod 19 can descend along the hollow tube 18, causing the return spring 8 to be stretched. The hollow tube 18 and the lifting rod 19 can limit the metal insertion rod 7, ensuring that the metal insertion rod 7 can be accurately inserted into the insertion slot 9 and fixed.
[0034] Preferably, it also includes a handle 20, which is disposed on the outer wall of the drawer 3.
[0035] The handle 20 allows staff to quickly open the drawer 3.
[0036] Preferably, the quick assembly mechanism further includes a rocker switch 21, a battery box 22, and a trigger block 23. The rocker switch 21 is disposed on the inner wall of the positioning groove 10, and its height is lower than that of the energized coil 6. The trigger block 23 is disposed on the side wall of the metal positioning post 5. The rocker switch 21 is located on the moving path of the trigger block 23. The battery box 22 is disposed on the side wall of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. The energized coil 6 is electrically connected to the battery box 22 through the rocker switch 21.
[0037] A rocker switch 21 is installed below the energizing coil 6. Initially, the rocker switch 21 is open. When the metal positioning post 5 is inserted into the positioning groove 10, the trigger block 23 will contact the rocker switch 21 on the raised side and push the rocker switch 21 to the closed state. At this time, the electrical energy in the battery box 22 can be supplied to the energizing coil 6 to energize it. That is, it can be energized only when the first box 1 and the second box 2 are combined. When the box is disassembled, the metal positioning post 5 will be taken out from the positioning groove 10. During the removal process, the trigger block 23 will also trigger the rocker switch 21 to the open state, thereby cutting off the circuit and avoiding the waste of electrical energy.
[0038] Preferably, lighting strips 24 are embedded in the open sides of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, and the lighting strips 24 are electrically connected to the battery box 22 via a rocker switch 21.
[0039] When the first box 1 and the second box 2 are combined, they will store parts, and the rocker switch 21 will be closed. When the drawer 3 is opened, the lighting strip 24 can illuminate the drawer 3, making it easier to find parts at night. The lighting strip 24 can be connected to the battery box 22 through a normally closed switch. When the drawer 3 is opened, the normally closed switch returns to the closed state, and the lighting strip 24 can be powered on. When the drawer 3 is closed, the normally closed switch is pressed into the open state, and the lighting strip 24 will not be powered on.
[0040] Preferably, it also includes a transparent label box 25, which is disposed on the outer side wall of the drawer 3 and has an open top.
[0041] The transparent label box 25 is used to place labels for classifying parts, so that staff can quickly identify the type or category of the parts stored in drawer 3 by means of the labels.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
