Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of toolboxes, and more particularly to a modular toolbox. Background Technology

[0002] Toolboxes are mainly used to store tools or accessories. Tools are categorized into different types during storage, so multiple toolboxes are used. During transportation, toolboxes need to be stacked together and secured to a trailer for manual towing. To prevent stacked toolboxes from falling, adjacent toolboxes need to be locked together by a locking mechanism. Based on an understanding of the relevant technologies, it was found that some stacked toolkits have cumbersome operation issues when locking and unlocking, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of at least one specific embodiment of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide a combined toolbox.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A combination toolbox, comprising: The housing has a grip, a first locking lug, and a second locking lug. A trigger component is mounted at the grip opening; The first locking element is installed on the housing and is adapted to lock with the first locking port on the adjacent housing; The second locking element is installed on the housing. The actuating component can actuate the second locking element so that the second locking element locks with the second locking port on the adjacent housing. When adjacent boxes are stacked, the first locking member locks with the first locking port on the adjacent box, and the second locking member locks with the second locking port on the adjacent box, so that the stacked adjacent boxes are locked and fixed together. When a person applies a touch action to the touch component, the second locking member separates from the second locking port on the adjacent box. After the upper box is flipped over, the first locking member separates from the first locking port on the adjacent box, and the locking state between the stacked adjacent boxes is released.

[0005] Furthermore, the first locking member includes a first support portion fixedly connected to the housing, and a first locking portion disposed at one end of the first support portion; A first insertion port is provided on one side of the first locking port, and a first limiting part is provided at the first locking port. When the first locking part is locked with the first locking port, the first limiting part limits the first locking part.

[0006] Furthermore, the actuation component includes an actuation plate and a spring. The actuation plate is disposed inside the grip opening, one end of the spring abuts against the actuation plate, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the grip opening.

[0007] Furthermore, a guide plate is fixedly installed inside the grip opening, and the touch plate slides in conjunction with the guide plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the second locking member includes a second support portion fixedly connected to the touch plate, and a second locking portion disposed at one end of the second support portion; A second insertion port is provided on one side of the second locking port, and a second limiting part is provided at the second locking port. When the second locking part is locked with the second locking port, the second limiting part limits the second locking part.

[0009] Furthermore, the first locking port and the second locking port are located on the top surface of the housing, and the grip port is located on the side of the housing.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the box is provided with a protruding support part, and the top of the box is provided with a recessed part. When two boxes are stacked, the support part at the bottom of the box matches the recessed part at the top of the adjacent box, and the bottom surface of the support part is flush with the ends of the first locking member and the second locking member.

[0011] Alternatively, the present invention provides another technical solution as follows: A combination toolbox, comprising: The housing has a grip, a first locking lug, and a second locking lug. A trigger component is mounted at the grip opening; The first locking element is installed on the housing and is adapted to lock with the first locking port on the adjacent housing; The second locking element is installed on the housing. The actuating component can actuate the second locking element so that the second locking element locks with the second locking port on the adjacent housing. When the two adjacent boxes of the modular toolbox are locked together, the bottom surface of the upper box is inclined relative to the top surface of the lower box, and the first locking member at the bottom of the upper box is hooked into the first locking port of the lower box. At the same time, when a person holds the trigger component, the trigger component moves the second locking member. When the bottom surface of the upper box is in contact with the top surface of the lower box, the person removes the trigger component, the second locking member resets and is locked into the second locking port. When two adjacent boxes are unlocked, the person holds the trigger component, which causes the second locking component to disengage from the second locking port. The person lifts one side of the upper box, causing the bottom surface of the upper box to tilt relative to the top surface of the lower box. At this time, the first locking component disengages from the first locking port, and the inertial lifting action of the person's hand causes the upper box to separate from the lower box.

[0012] Furthermore, the first locking port and the second locking port are located on the top surface of the housing, and the grip port is located on the side of the housing.

[0013] Furthermore, the actuation component includes an actuation plate and a spring. The actuation plate is disposed inside the grip opening, one end of the spring abuts against the actuation plate, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the grip opening. The first locking element includes a first support portion fixedly connected to the housing, and a first locking portion disposed at one end of the first support portion; The second locking member includes a second support portion fixedly connected to the touch plate, and a second locking portion disposed at one end of the second support portion.

[0014] The advantages of the modular toolbox provided in this application compared to the prior art are as follows: When multiple boxes of the modular toolbox are stacked, a person can reach into the grip opening on the side of the upper box, where the bottom surface of the upper box is inclined relative to the top surface of the lower box, and the first locking member at the bottom of the upper box is fastened into the first locking opening of the lower box. Simultaneously, the person holds the trigger component, which moves the second locking member. When the bottom surface of the upper box is in contact with the top surface of the lower box, the person removes their hand from the trigger component, the second locking member resets, and the second locking member is engaged with the first locking opening of the lower box. The two locking ports engage; when two adjacent boxes unlock each other, the user holds the trigger component, which causes the second locking component to disengage from the second locking port. The user then lifts one side of the upper box, causing the bottom surface of the upper box to tilt relative to the top surface of the lower box. At this time, the first locking component disengages from the first locking port, and the user's inertial lifting action separates the upper and lower boxes. When lifting, the locking state between the adjacent boxes is automatically released, eliminating the need for locking and unlocking actions between the two boxes, making the operation convenient and quick.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Example 1

[0018] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A modular toolbox 100 includes a box body 10 with a first locking slot 101, a second locking slot 102, and a grip slot 103; an actuating component 20 installed at the grip slot 103; and a first locking member 30 and a second locking member 40 installed on the box body 10. The first locking member 30 is adapted to lock with the first locking slot 101 on an adjacent box body 10. The actuating component 20 can actuate the second locking member 40, causing the second locking member 40 to lock with the second locking slot 102 on an adjacent box body 10. When adjacent boxes 10 are stacked, the first locking member 30 locks with the first locking port 101 on the adjacent box 10, and the second locking member 40 locks with the second locking port 102 on the adjacent box 10, so that the stacked adjacent boxes 10 are locked and fixed to each other. When a person applies a touch action to the touch component 20, the second locking member 40 separates from the second locking port 102 on the adjacent box 10. After the upper box is flipped over, the first locking member 30 separates from the first locking port 101 on the adjacent box 10, and the locking state between the stacked adjacent boxes 10 is released.

[0019] The following section provides a detailed description of this application, taking into account its specific structure.

[0020] Furthermore, the first locking member 30 includes a first support portion 301 fixedly connected to the housing 10, and a first locking portion 302 disposed at one end of the first support portion 301; A first insertion port 104 is provided on one side of the first locking port 101, and a first limiting part 105 is provided at the first locking port 101. When the first locking part 302 is locked with the first locking port 101, the first limiting part 105 limits the first locking part 302.

[0021] Furthermore, the touch assembly 20 includes a touch plate 201 and a spring 202. The touch plate 201 is disposed inside the grip opening 103. One end of the spring 202 abuts against the touch plate 201, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the grip opening 103. A guide plate 203 is fixedly installed inside the grip opening 103. The touch plate 201 and the guide plate 203 slide together to ensure the stability of the touch plate 201 moving inside the grip opening 103.

[0022] Furthermore, the second locking member 40 includes a second support portion 401 fixedly connected to the touch plate 201, and a second locking portion 402 disposed at one end of the second support portion 401; A second insertion port 106 is provided on one side of the second locking port 102, and a second limiting part 107 is provided at the second locking port 102. When the second locking part 402 is locked with the second locking port 102, the second limiting part 107 limits the second locking part 402.

[0023] In this embodiment, the first locking port 101 and the second locking port 102 are provided on the top surface of the housing 10, and the grip port 103 is provided on the side of the housing 10.

[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of the box 10 is provided with a protruding support portion 50, and the top of the box 10 is provided with a recessed portion 60. When two boxes 10 are stacked, the support portion 50 at the bottom of the box 10 matches the recessed portion 60 at the top of the adjacent box 10, and the bottom surface of the support portion 50 is flush with the ends of the first locking member 30 and the second locking member 40.

[0025] In addition, the top of the box 10 has a handle 70, which is set to be rotatable and foldable. The recessed part 60 has a groove 80. When the handle 70 is not in use, it can be stored in the groove 80. When two adjacent boxes 10 are stacked, the handle 70 in the groove 80 of the lower box 10 is covered by the upper box and will not be exposed.

[0026] Specifically, refer to Figures 5 to 10When two adjacent compartments 10 of the modular toolbox are locked together, the upper compartment is designated as 10a and the lower compartment as 10b. When the two compartments are locked, a person reaches into the grip openings 103 on both sides of the upper compartment 10a and pulls the touch plate 201. The touch plate 201 compresses the spring 202, simultaneously causing the second locking member 40 to retract. At the same time, the person lifts the upper compartment 10a through the grip openings 103. The bottom surface 10c of the upper compartment 10a is inclined relative to the top surface 10d of the lower compartment 10b. The first locking member 30 at the bottom of the upper compartment 10a extends into the first insertion port 104. As the bottom surface 10c gradually comes into contact with the top surface 10d of the lower box 10b, the first locking part 302 of the first locking member 30 at the bottom of the upper box 10a snaps into the first locking opening 101 of the lower box 10b. When the bottom surface 10c of the upper box 10a is completely in contact with the top surface 10d of the lower box 10b, the second locking member 40 extends into the second insertion opening 106 of the lower box 10b. When the hand leaves the touch plate 201 in the grip opening 103, the second locking member 40 resets under the elastic force of the spring 202 and the second locking part 402 engages with the second locking opening 102 of the lower box 10b.

[0027] After the upper box 10a and the lower box 10b are fitted and locked together, the support part 50 at the bottom of the upper box 10a matches the recessed part 60 at the top of the lower box 10b. The upper box 10a and the lower box 10b are in a positioning state, and the first locking member 30 and the second locking member 40 will not come out from the corresponding locking holes, thus ensuring the stability of the locking.

[0028] When two adjacent boxes unlock each other, a person reaches into the grip opening 103 of the upper box 10a and pulls the touch plate 201. The touch plate 201 causes the second locking part 402 of the second locking member 40 to disengage from the second locking opening 102. The person lifts one side of the upper box 10a, causing the bottom surface 10c of the upper box 10a to tilt relative to the top surface 10d of the lower box 10b. At this time, the first locking member 30 disengages from the first locking opening 101. Simultaneously, the first locking member 30 separates from the first insertion opening 104 of the lower box 10b. The inertial lifting action of the person's hand causes the upper box 10a to separate from the lower box 10b.

[0029] When the multiple boxes 10 of this modular toolbox are stacked together, a person can reach into the grip opening of the upper box 10a and pull the touch plate 201 to lock the first locking member 30 and the second locking member 40 at the bottom of the upper box 10a with the locking opening at the top of the lower box 10b. When unlocking is required, the inertial pulling action of the person's hand on the touch plate 201 in the grip opening 103 of the upper box 10a will cause the upper box 10a and the lower box 10b to separate naturally. When pulling, the locking state between adjacent boxes 10 is automatically released, eliminating the locking action and locking state release action between two boxes 10, making the operation convenient and quick. Example 2

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 Based on the same technical concept, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the second locking part 402 and the first locking part 302 are in opposite directions. In embodiment 1, although the second locking part 402 and the first locking part 302 are in the same direction, the upper box 10a and the lower box 10b can be positioned by the support part 50 at the bottom of the upper box 10a and the recessed part 60 at the top of the lower box 10b. When the upper box 10a and the lower box 10b are in a positioned state, the first locking member 30 and the second locking member 40 will not come out from the corresponding locking holes. In this embodiment, the second locking part 402 is in the opposite direction to the first locking part 302. The upper box 10a and the lower box 10b do not need to be positioned by the support part 50 and the recessed part 60. After the first locking member 30 and the second locking member 40 are locked with the corresponding locking holes, the first locking member 30 and the second locking member 40 will not come out from the corresponding locking holes without compressing the touch plate 201.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that 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 or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
