Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of model making tools, and relates to a desktop handcraft tool storage box that can be converted into a handcrafting table. Background Technology

[0002] The creation of scale model kits requires various tools, including cutting tools (such as pliers and hobby knives), sanding tools (various types of sandpaper and files), and coloring tools (such as face paint pens and markers). Placing these tools directly on the desktop takes up a significant amount of space. A well-organized tool storage system maximizes valuable desktop space while ensuring easy access to all tools.

[0003] Some users need to build models in non-fixed locations and require enclosed, box-shaped tool storage facilities to make their tools portable. Some brands offer products that convert tool storage boxes into box-type model workbenches, which can be used with cutting mats to quickly build simple model workbenches. However, their production costs are relatively high, the space distribution is unreasonable, and they have poor compatibility with various handcraft tool storage solutions on the market. They also cannot achieve easy access to various tools through reasonable storage slot design, making them difficult to meet users' needs. Utility Model Content

[0025] This utility model embodiment provides a desktop craft tool storage box that can be converted into a craft workbench, including a base box 1, a drawer 3 and a top cover 2, for storing craft tools such as cutting tools, sanding tools, and painting tools used for making model kits, and can also be used directly as a workbench for making model kits.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom box 1 is preferably square in shape. The bottom box 1 has an opening facing upwards in the cavity 11. The drawer 3 is disposed in the cavity 11, and the cavity 11 can be used as a storage space for other handicraft tools.

[0027] The top cover 2 is located on the top of the bottom box 1. The rear end of the top cover 2 is hinged to the rear end of the bottom box 1, so that the top cover 2 can be flipped relative to the bottom box 1 to achieve two states: open and closed.

[0028] Preferably, the drawer 3 is located in the middle of the cavity 11, and the cavity 11 is open at the front end of the bottom box 1, forming a drawer opening for the drawer 3 to be pushed and pulled in and out. One or more storage slots 13 are provided on the outer periphery of the cavity 11. The storage slots 13 have various preset shapes, including but not limited to square, round, oval, etc., for easy access to various hand tools, as well as vertical placement of some sanding tools and cutting tools. They are compatible with most small and medium-sized model making tools on the market. The multiple storage slots 13 avoid damage caused by relative displacement of tools inside through reasonable partitioning.

[0029] Drawer 3 moves horizontally relative to the base box 1. Multiple tool slots are provided on drawer 3 to store more types of tools and objects. A protrusion is provided on the outer side wall of drawer 3, and a corresponding slide is provided on the inner side wall of cavity 11. The protrusion is embedded in the slide. When drawer 3 is pushed and pulled, the protrusion moves synchronously in the slide, which provides stable guidance for drawer 3. At the same time, the end of the slide also limits the protrusion to prevent drawer 3 from being completely pulled out.

[0030] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base box 1 is also equipped with a pressing structure 4 for locking and unlocking the drawer 3. The pressing structure 4 includes a card holder 41, a pressing block 42, and a spring. The card holder 41 is fixedly mounted on the base box 1. The pressing block 42 is slidably engaged with the card holder 41. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the card holder 41 and the pressing block 42, so that the pressing block 42 moves relative to the card holder 41 within a set range. A slot 31 is provided on the outer wall of the drawer 3. When the drawer 3 is completely placed inside the base box 1, the pressing block 42 is held in the set position by the spring force. At this time, one end of the pressing block 42 is engaged in the slot 31, which controls the direction of the drawer 3 being pulled out. Interference locks drawer 3 inside the base box 1, preventing it from being pulled out. This effectively prevents drawer 3 from accidentally coming loose during transport. When drawer 3 needs to be pulled out, press the pressing block 42 to disengage it from the slot 31. The slot 31 is connected to a horizontally extending guide rail 32 along the push-pull direction of drawer 3. When drawer 3 is pulled out, the pressing block 42 abuts against the guide rail 32 to keep the spring compressed. When drawer 3 is pulled out, the pressing block 42 slides relative to the guide rail 32. When drawer 3 is fully inserted into the base box 1, the pressing block 42 automatically returns to the slot 31 under the action of the spring, locking drawer 3.

[0031] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The bottom box 1 is also provided with a locking structure for locking and unlocking the top cover 2, including a latch 51, an elastic element 52, and a locking groove 21. The locking groove 21 is provided on the top cover 2, and the latch 51 is provided on the bottom box 1 or drawer 3. When the top cover 2 is closed on the bottom box 1, the latch 51 can extend into the locking groove 21 to form a vertical engagement, thereby locking the top cover 2 onto the bottom box 1. In this embodiment, preferably, the latch 51 is provided in the mounting groove at the front end of the drawer 3, and the two ends of the elastic element 52 abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove and the latch 51, respectively. The latch 51 can slide and compress or reset within the mounting groove. One end of the elastic element 52 and the latch 51 is exposed on the outside of the bottom box 1, allowing the user to directly operate the latch 51 to move. The latch 51 and the latch groove 21 are respectively provided with opposite inclined surfaces. When the top cover 2 is about to close, the latch groove 21 and the inclined surface of the latch 51 abut against each other to form a relative force that pushes the latch 51 to move and compresses the elastic element 52, so that the latch 51 can be inserted into the latch groove 21 and kept locked by the elastic element 52, so as to achieve stable closure of the top cover 2 and the bottom box 1. When it is necessary to open the top cover 2, the latch 51 can be directly operated to slide out of the latch groove 21 to open the top cover 2.

[0032] In some preferred embodiments, a grid plate 12 is also provided inside the bottom box 1. The grid plate 12 is embedded in the cavity 11 and located at the top of the drawer 3. The side wall of the cavity 11 is provided with steps along the circumference, so that the grid plate 12 can be stably placed on the top of the cavity 11 and supported by the steps. Tools such as cutting mats can be placed on the grid plate 12, which provides a flat surface for use as a tool table. Waste generated during use can fall into the drawer 3 through the grid plate 12 for collection.

[0033] 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 inventive effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
