Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of storage box technology, and in particular to a multi-layer cantilever toolbox. Background Technology

[0002] A toolbox is a container for storing tools. To organize a large number of tools, multiple compartments are designed inside the toolbox. However, the compartments are usually stacked, with the upper compartment obscuring the tools on the lower compartment. If you want to access the tools below, you need to move the upper compartment aside, which can affect work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a multi-layer cantilever toolbox that makes picking up and placing tools more efficient.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a multi-layer cantilever toolbox: comprising a multi-layer bracket, the multi-layer bracket having several parallel partitions, all partitions being aligned in the horizontal projection direction, and a lower left longitudinal axis and an upper right longitudinal axis being fixedly connected between adjacent partitions, the lower left longitudinal axis and the upper right longitudinal axis being located at opposite corners of the partitions, and a first storage box and a second storage box with open tops being provided between adjacent partitions, the second storage box being located above the first storage box, the first storage box being rotatably engaged with the lower left longitudinal axis, and the second storage box being rotatably engaged with the upper right longitudinal axis, thus restricting the degrees of freedom of the storage boxes.

[0005] The multi-layer bracket is also fitted with a gathering cover, and a handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the uppermost partition. The handle is adapted to pass through the top of the gathering cover for easy hand gripping.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the horizontal projections of the first and second storage boxes are aligned with the partitions, which facilitates the clasp to constrain the storage boxes between the partitions of the multi-layered bracket.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, one corner of the first storage box has a lower sleeve that fits onto the lower left longitudinal axis, and the other corner in the diagonal direction has a lower fitting groove on the outside, which is suitable for fitting with the upper right longitudinal axis. This serves both as a positioning function and as a way to prevent the first storage box from not closing properly.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, one corner of the second storage box has an upper sleeve that fits onto the upper right vertical axis, and the other corner in the diagonal direction has an upper fitting groove on its outer side, which is suitable for fitting with the lower left vertical axis, thus taking into account both positioning and avoiding motion interference.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the upper right longitudinal axis also has a limiting ring, the lower surface of which is higher than the upper end surface of the first storage box, and the lower end of the second storage box of the upper bushing also has a relief groove, which is suitable for fitting with the limiting ring to prevent the second storage box from sliding downward along the upper right longitudinal axis.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the first storage box is provided with a lower snap groove, and the outer side of the second storage box is provided with an upper snap groove, for fingers to insert into, so as to facilitate applying force to the storage box.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the cascading cover includes side covers that are open at both the top and bottom, and all the first and second storage boxes are adapted to be located inside the side covers; a dustproof plate is fixedly connected to the top of the side covers, and the dustproof plate has a through opening to allow the handle to pass through, so as to avoid the handle being blocked and unable to be held.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the side cover has convection grooves that extend through the inner and outer walls; a gasket is also provided at the bottom of the lowest partition to prevent the bottom of the toolbox from making hard contact with the ground.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: (1) By designing a partition structure and setting diagonal longitudinal axes between the partitions to constrain the first storage box and the second storage box respectively, the first storage box and the second storage box can be unfolded in different directions, thereby improving the efficiency of tool retrieval and placement. (2) Since the storage boxes on the same side can be rotated to different angles, even if they are vertically related, they can be staggered to avoid blocking each other, which further improves the efficiency of tool retrieval and placement, thereby enhancing the user experience of workers.

[0023] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0024] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this application.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0026] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.

[0027] like Figure 1-8The multi-layer cantilever toolbox shown includes a multi-layer bracket 1, which has several parallel partitions 101. The spacing between the partitions 101 is not limited and can usually be reasonably allocated according to the volume of the tools. All partitions 101 are aligned in the horizontal projection direction. A lower left vertical axis 102 and an upper right vertical axis 103 are fixedly connected between adjacent partitions 101. The lower left vertical axis 102 and the upper right vertical axis 103 are located at opposite corners of the partitions 101, which can maintain the stability of the relative position between the partitions 101. Each adjacent partition 101 is provided with a first storage box 3 and a second storage box 4 with an open top, arranged vertically. Generally, the second storage box 4 is located above the first storage box 3. The horizontal projection of the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4 is aligned with the partition 101, making full use of the space between the partitions 101.

[0028] The first storage box 3 needs to rotate and cooperate with the lower left vertical axis 102. Specifically, one corner of the first storage box 3 has a lower shaft sleeve 301 that fits onto the lower left vertical axis 102, and the other corner in the diagonal direction has a lower fitting groove 303 on its outer side, which can fit with the upper right vertical axis 103. The outer side of the first storage box 3 also has a lower buckle groove 302 as a force point. Fingers can be inserted into the lower buckle groove 302 to apply force, thereby driving the first storage box 3 to complete the action of opening outward or closing inward.

[0029] The second storage box 4 needs to rotate in conjunction with the upper right vertical axis 103. Specifically, one corner of the second storage box 4 has an upper sleeve 401 that fits onto the upper right vertical axis 103, and the other corner diagonally has an upper engaging groove 404 that can engage with the lower left vertical axis 102. The outer side of the second storage box 4 also has an upper snap groove 403, which also serves as a force point. A finger can be inserted into the upper snap groove 403 to apply force, thereby driving the second storage box 4 to rotate. The upper right vertical axis 103 has a limiting ring 104 on the outer side for opening outward or closing inward. The lower surface of the limiting ring 104 is higher than the upper surface of the first storage box 3 to avoid interference with the movement of the first storage box 3. The second storage box 4 also has a relief groove 402 at the lower end of the upper bushing 401, which fits perfectly with the limiting ring 104. In this way, even if the second storage box 4 is not supported by the first storage box 3, it can remain suspended under the blocking effect of the limiting ring 104.

[0030] The multi-layer bracket 1 is further fitted with a shroud 2 to prevent the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4 from unfolding due to centrifugal force during toolbox transfer. The shroud 2 includes side covers 201 that are open at both the top and bottom. Since the partition 101 and the storage boxes are both cuboid, the side covers 201 are also cuboid. All the first storage boxes 3 and the second storage boxes 4 can be enclosed within the side covers 201. However, it should be noted that the height of the side covers 201 must not exceed the height of the multi-layer bracket 1. Under the obstruction of the side covers 201, the first storage boxes 3 and the second storage boxes 4 will not detach from between the partition 101. The toolbox is equipped with convection channels 203 that run through the inner and outer walls. The convection air helps maintain the atmospheric pressure balance inside and outside the side cover 201, making it easier to put on or take off the side cover 201. A handle 5 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the uppermost partition 101, making it easy to lift the entire toolbox. The handle 5 can pass through the top of the drawer cover 2. The top of the side cover 201 is also fixedly connected to a dustproof plate 202, and the dustproof plate 202 has a through opening 204 in the center, which is just right for the handle 5 to pass through. A rubber pad 6 is also provided at the bottom of the lowermost partition 101 to prevent the bottom of the toolbox from making direct hard contact with the ground.

[0031] Working principle: When using, first remove the cover 2 upwards, then insert your finger into the lower slot 302 on the side of the first storage box 3 and pull the first storage box 3 outwards. The first storage box 3 will rotate and unfold around the lower left vertical axis 102. In this way, the upper open end of the first storage box 3 will not be obstructed, and tools can be taken out or put into the first storage box 3. Since the rotation angle of the first storage box 3 is relatively flexible, the first storage boxes 3 of different heights can be rotated to different angles without obstructing each other in the horizontal projection direction. In this way, tools located in different first storage boxes 3 can be quickly taken out and put in. The second storage box 4 is used in the same way as the first storage box 3. Since there are several of both the first storage box 3 and the second storage box 4, different tools can be placed in storage boxes of different heights. After using the tools, return them to their corresponding positions. Then, push all the first storage boxes 3 and the second storage boxes 4 into the space between the partitions 101 until all the storage boxes do not exceed the edge of the partitions 101. Then, slip the storage cover 2 over the multi-layer bracket 1 from above until the protruding handle 5 passes through the through-hole 204 of the dustproof plate 202. You can then hold the handle 5 and lift the entire toolbox for transfer. There is no need to worry about the storage boxes unfolding during the transfer and causing the tools to scatter.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this application. Various changes and modifications can be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
