Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hardware tools technology, and in particular to a hardware toolbox. Background Technology

[0002] Hardware tools play a crucial role in various engineering operations. They are metal components made from iron, steel, aluminum, and other metals through physical processing such as forging, rolling, and cutting. They come in a wide variety of types and have diverse functions. From everyday home repairs to large-scale industrial project construction, hardware tools are indispensable. To facilitate carrying multiple tools at once during work, hardware toolboxes have emerged as an important carrier for these tools.

[0003] Existing toolboxes typically feature internal recesses to categorize and store different tools, preventing adjacent tools from colliding and reducing wear and damage. However, these toolboxes reveal several drawbacks in practical use. Firstly, to prevent tools from falling during transport, their storage method is limited, essentially only providing placement slots within the box, thus not fully utilizing available storage space. Secondly, these toolboxes generally lack effective dividers; the internal space is monolithic, easily leading to cluttered and disorganized stacking when storing a large number of different tools, making it difficult for users to quickly find the required tools and severely impacting work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of hardware toolbox. It is necessary to optimize and improve it in terms of structural design, space utilization, and functional expansion to enhance its convenience and practicality in actual use and better serve various engineering operation scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a hardware toolbox to solve the problems of insufficient utilization of tool storage space, lack of flexible partitioning function, and limited internal storage space in the prior art.

[0006] The embodiments of this application can be implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A hardware toolbox includes a first box body and a second box body that can be closed and integrated.

[0008] The first box and the second box are hinged to one side. The first box has a first storage layer embedded in it, and the second box has a second storage layer embedded in it. The first storage layer and the second storage layer are each provided with a mounting groove on one side facing each other.

[0009] The first box and / or the second box are also hinged to a partition plate, and a locking member is provided in the box that is hinged to the partition plate. The partition plate is covered on the surface of the storage layer of the box by the locking member.

[0010] Furthermore, the partition plate is rotatably connected to the hinged side of the first box body, and the locking member is rotatably connected to the surface of the first shelf layer. The locking member and the partition plate are connected by a rotary one-piece lock structure, a buckle and slot that cooperate with each other, or a magnet that cooperates with each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of locking components is two, and the two locking components are respectively arranged at both ends of the side of the first shelf that is facing the hinge side of the partition plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking member is a rotary one-piece lock structure, and the middle part of the locking member is rotatably connected to the first shelf. Correspondingly, a locking engagement part is provided on the partition plate. The locking engagement part is a one-piece hole. After the locking member passes through the one-piece hole, the partition plate is limited by rotating the locking member.

[0013] Furthermore, the second housing also has a detachable third storage layer, which is located between the first storage layer and the second storage layer, and the third storage layer has an installation groove on the side facing the first storage layer.

[0014] Furthermore, the third shelf is equipped with two lifting parts, which are respectively located on both sides of the third shelf.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting part is a rigid plastic handle. Correspondingly, the two sides of the partition plate are respectively provided with clearance elongated holes, and the two sides of the first storage layer are respectively provided with clearance elongated grooves. When the first box is closed on the second box, the top of the lifting part passes through the clearance elongated hole and is accommodated in the clearance elongated groove.

[0016] Furthermore, a telescopic push-pull rod is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the second housing, and a roller is also provided on one side of the second housing adjacent to the push-pull rod.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom of the push-pull rod is located on the side where the long side of the second box is located, the length of the push-pull rod is adjustable along the width direction of the second box, and the roller is located on the side formed by the length and height of the second box.

[0018] Furthermore, the second box has a handle hinged to its outer side wall, and the other three sides of the second box, except for the side that is hinged to the first box, are also equipped with handles.

[0019] The hardware toolbox provided by the embodiments of this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] On the one hand, this application greatly expands the storage space by setting a first storage layer and a second storage layer in the first and second boxes respectively, and opening mounting grooves on one side of the storage layers. A removable third storage layer is embedded in the second box and placed between the first and second storage layers, with a mounting groove on the side facing the first storage layer. Users can flexibly install or remove the third storage layer according to the type, quantity, and size of the tools stored, providing possibilities for subsequent expansion of functional components and greatly improving the utilization efficiency of the internal space of the box. Compared with traditional hardware toolboxes that only have tool placement positions inside the box and lid, this effectively taps into potential storage space and can accommodate more types of hardware tools. Furthermore, by adding a partition plate on the hinged side of the first and / or second box, in conjunction with the locking mechanism inside the box, tools located in the upper box when the box is opened can be effectively confined within the mounting groove, preventing tools from falling out. This design has advantages such as simplified structure, high internal space utilization, reasonable space division, and strong practicality.

[0021] On the other hand, this application also includes a push-pull rod and rollers. The bottom of the push-pull rod is located on the long side of the second box, and the length of the push-pull rod is adjustable along the width of the second box. The rollers are located on the side formed by the length and height of the second box. This not only lowers the center of gravity of the toolbox, making it less prone to tipping over, but also allows the user to hang the strap of their handbag on the push-pull rod when the push-pull rod is extended, and to use the long side of the second box to support the handbag. This not only makes it convenient for the user to carry the handbag while moving the toolbox, but also increases the stability of the handbag by supporting it with the long side, preventing the handbag from shaking or falling during transport.

[0036] The vocabulary used in this specification is for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. It should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection via an intermediate medium; or they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a hardware toolbox includes a first box body 1 and a second box body 3 that can be closed together as one unit. The first box body 1 and the second box body 3 are hinged on one side and locked by a lock 7 after being closed. The first box body 1 has a first storage layer 11 embedded inside, and the second box body 3 has a second storage layer 32 embedded inside. The first storage layer 11 and the second storage layer 32 each have a mounting groove 110 on the side facing each other. The mounting groove 110 can be customized according to the shape and size of different tools to classify and place various hardware tools, making it convenient for users to quickly find and use them.

[0038] Furthermore, a partition plate 2 is also hinged to the hinged side of the first box 1 and / or the second box 3. A locking member 4 is also provided in the box body that is hinged to the partition plate 2. The partition plate 2 covers the surface of the storage layer of the box body through the locking member 4 to prevent the tools in the mounting groove 110 of the storage layer from falling out, thereby enhancing the storage stability and safety of the tools during transportation and storage.

[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the partition 2 is made of aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or plastic. Aluminum alloy partitions are relatively lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant, and are often used in scenarios where weight and durability are required. Stainless steel partitions offer better corrosion resistance and strength, but are relatively heavy and expensive, making them suitable for environments with high durability and hygiene requirements. Plastic partitions are made of transparent engineering plastic with good light transmittance. The transparency allows for a clear view of the contents of the box even when closed, facilitating quick retrieval of tools and other items. Figure 2 , Figure 3 The diagrams show the application scenarios of partitions made of different materials.

[0040] In some preferred embodiments, the partition plate 2 is rotatably connected to the hinged side of the first housing 1, and the locking member 4 is rotatably connected to the surface of the first storage layer 11. The locking member 4 and the partition plate 2 are connected by a rotary pinlock structure, a matching buckle and slot, or a matching magnet. Preferably, such as Figure 4aAs shown, the buckles can be fixed to the box body via fabric straps. The buckles cooperate with the slots on the partition plate, or as... Figure 4b The example shown uses a button magnet for connection; the specific form is not further specified here.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the locking member 4 is a rotary one-piece lock structure. The middle part of the locking member 4 is rotatably connected to the first shelf 11. Correspondingly, the partition plate 2 is provided with a locking engagement part 22. The locking engagement part 22 is a one-piece hole. After the locking member 4 passes through the one-piece hole, by rotating the locking member 4, it is rotated 90 degrees. At this time, the shape of the locking member 4 and the one-piece hole are no longer compatible. The long side of the locking member 4 will interfere with the partition plate 2, thereby producing a locking effect and firmly fixing the partition plate 2 to the surface of the first shelf 11.

[0042] In some preferred embodiments, two locking members 4 are provided, and the two locking members 4 are respectively arranged at both ends of the side of the first shelf 11 that is facing the hinge side of the partition plate 2, so as to achieve a stable locking of the partition plate 2.

[0043] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the second box 3 also has a detachable third storage layer 33 embedded inside. The third storage layer 33 is disposed between the first storage layer 11 and the second storage layer 32. The third storage layer 33 has an installation groove 110 on the side facing the first storage layer 11 to expand the storage space of the toolbox. The detachable design provides users with great flexibility. Users can easily install or remove the third storage layer 33 according to actual usage needs.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, the inner wall of the second housing 3 is provided with a limiting rib 34, and the outer wall of the third storage layer is provided with a limiting groove 332 that cooperates with the limiting rib 34, so that the third storage layer 33 can be accurately positioned and installed in the second housing 3 with the help of the limiting rib 34 and the limiting groove 332, and the stability of the connection is increased.

[0045] In some preferred embodiments, in order to facilitate the removal and placement of the third storage layer 33 from the second housing 3, a lifting part 331 is installed on the third storage layer 33. Preferably, two lifting parts 331 are provided, and the two lifting parts 331 are respectively provided on both sides of the third storage layer 33.

[0046] In some preferred embodiments, the lifting part 331 is a rigid plastic handle. Correspondingly, the two sides of the partition plate 2 are respectively provided with clearance elongated holes 21, and the two sides of the first storage layer 11 are respectively provided with clearance elongated grooves 111. When the first box 1 is closed on the second box 3, the top of the lifting part 331 passes through the clearance elongated hole 21 and is accommodated in the clearance elongated groove 111. This ensures that when the toolbox is closed, the lifting part 331 will not occupy additional external space of the box, thus ensuring the compactness of the overall structure and the flatness of the appearance of the toolbox, and facilitating the access to the third storage layer through the lifting part.

[0047] In some preferred embodiments, a handle 31 is hinged to the outer side wall of the second housing 3. Preferably, each handle 31 is movably connected to the corresponding outer side wall via a pivot. The pivot passes through the mounting hole between the handle 31 and the outer side wall of the second housing 3, and both ends of the pivot are fixed by snap rings or nuts. A torsion spring is provided at the pivot. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the handle 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the second housing 3. The elasticity of the torsion spring allows the handle to fit tightly against the outer side wall of the housing in its natural state.

[0048] In some preferred embodiments, handles 31 are provided on the outer walls of the other three sides, except for the side that is hinged to the box. When the second box 3 is moved, no matter what position it is in or which direction it needs to be moved, the operator can find the handle 31 in the nearest and most convenient position to operate it, which greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of handling, reduces the time and effort spent on adjusting the direction of the box, and effectively improves work efficiency.

[0049] For ease of description, let's define the length of the first box 1 along its embedding direction and the length of the second box 3 along their embedding direction during the closing process as the common length dimension formed by the two boxes in the embedding depth direction after the two boxes are closed. Let's define the dimension corresponding to the longer side of the bottom surface of the first box 1 and the second box 3 when they are normally placed on a horizontal plane as the "length" and the dimension corresponding to the shorter side as the "width". After the first box 1 and the second box 3 are closed, the definitions of "length" and "width" are not affected by the closing operation and are still based on the dimensions of their respective bottom surfaces in their normal placement state.

[0050] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a telescopic push-pull rod 5 is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the second box 3, and a roller 6 is also provided on one side of the second box 3 adjacent to the push-pull rod 5 for easy handling and transfer.

[0051] In some preferred embodiments, the bottom of the push-pull rod 5 is located on the long side of the second box 3, and the length of the push-pull rod 5 is adjustable along the width of the second box 3. Correspondingly, a roller 6 is provided on one side wall of the second box 3. The roller 6 is located on the side formed by the length and height of the second box 3. The advantage of this arrangement is that it can lower the center of gravity of the toolbox, making it less likely to tip over. When the push-pull rod 5 is extended, the user can hang the strap of the handbag on the push-pull rod 5 and use the long side of the second box 3 to support the handbag. This not only makes it convenient for the user to carry the handbag while moving the toolbox, but also increases the stability of the handbag by supporting it with the long side, preventing the handbag from shaking or falling during transportation.

[0052] In some preferred embodiments, to ensure the stability and security of the first box 1 and the second box 3 in the closed state, the two are reliably limited by the lock 7 after being closed. The lock 7 includes a lock cover and a locking component. Preferably, the lock cover is installed on the closed edge of the first box 1. The lock cover has a lock hole or lock groove inside, which is used to cooperate with the locking component on the other box to achieve locking. The locking component is connected to the closed edge of the second box 3 through a pull-up movable component. When the component is pulled up, the fastening structure will move accordingly to achieve fastening or disengagement with the lock cover. This is prior art in the art and will not be described further here.

[0053] The specific embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this application without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
