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 box body has a grip opening and a locking opening on its side; The locking element is rotatably mounted on the housing; The swing reset component, which is installed on the housing, can drive the locking component to hug from one side of the housing towards the center; The locking component includes a main body, an actuating part disposed at one end of the main body, and a locking part disposed at the other end of the main body. The trigger is located at the grip opening, and the locking part is located on one side of the locking opening of the adjacent housing; When adjacent boxes are stacked, the locking part locks with the locking lug on the adjacent box, so that the stacked adjacent boxes are locked and fixed together. When a person applies a stimulating action to the stimulating part, the stimulating part can cause the locking part to change from a closed state to an open state, so that the locking part separates from the locking slot on the adjacent box and the locking state between the stacked adjacent boxes is released.

[0005] Furthermore, the main body of the locking component is hinged to the housing via a pin, and the swing reset component is sleeved on the pin. One end of the swing reset component is connected to the pin, and the other end is connected to the main body.

[0006] Furthermore, an inclined limiting part is provided at the locking opening. When adjacent boxes are locked, the locking part of the locking member extends into the locking opening of the lower box and engages with the inclined limiting part.

[0007] Furthermore, the side of the box has a first inclined pressing surface, and the locking part has a second inclined pressing surface corresponding to the first inclined pressing surface.

[0008] 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 end of the locking part.

[0009] Furthermore, the swing reset element is a torsion spring.

[0010] Alternatively, the present invention provides another technical solution as follows: A combination toolbox, comprising: The box body has a grip opening and a locking opening on its side; The locking element is rotatably mounted on the housing; The swing reset component, which is installed on the housing, can drive the locking component to hug from one side of the housing towards the center; The locking component includes a main body, an actuating part disposed at one end of the main body, and a locking part disposed at the other end of the main body. The trigger is located at the grip opening, and the locking part is located on one side of the locking opening of the adjacent housing; The side of the box has a first inclined pressing surface, and the locking part has a second inclined pressing surface corresponding to the first inclined pressing surface; When adjacent boxes are stacked, the second inclined pressing surface of the locking part on the upper box contacts the first inclined pressing surface on the lower box. Under the gravity of the upper box, the first inclined pressing surface applies a pressing force to the second inclined pressing surface, causing the locking part on the upper box to expand towards one side of the lower box. When the second inclined pressing surface of the locking part separates from the first inclined pressing surface on the lower housing, the swing reset component drives the locking part to hug the middle of the housing and lock it with the locking port on the lower housing.

[0011] Furthermore, when a person applies a stimulating action to the stimulating part, the stimulating part can cause the locking part to change from a closed state to an open state, so that the locking part separates from the locking opening on the lower box and the locking state between the stacked adjacent boxes is released.

[0012] 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 end of the locking part.

[0013] Furthermore, an inclined limiting part is provided at the locking opening. When adjacent boxes are locked, the locking part of the locking member extends into the locking opening of the lower box and engages with the inclined limiting part.

[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, after aligning the support parts and recesses of two adjacent boxes, the locking parts installed on the boxes automatically lock with the locking ports on the adjacent boxes under their own weight. When two adjacent boxes need to be separated, a person can reach into the grip and push the trigger part of the locking part, and the locking part of the locking part will automatically release the locking state between the locking part and the locking port on the adjacent box. At the same time, the lifting force applied by the person at the grip can separate the upper box from the lower box. The boxes of this modular toolbox can automatically lock with each other when stacked, and the locking state between adjacent boxes can be automatically released when lifted, eliminating the locking action and locking release action between 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.

[0018] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A modular toolbox 100 includes a box body 10 with a grip opening 101 and a locking opening 102, a locking member 20 rotatably mounted on the box body 10, and a swinging reset member 30 mounted on the box body 10 and capable of driving the locking member 20 to hug from one side of the box body 10 toward the center. The swinging reset member 30 is preferably a torsion spring. The locking member 20 includes a main body 201, an actuating part 202 disposed at one end of the main body 201, and a locking part 203 disposed at the other end of the main body 201; the actuating part 202 is located at the grip opening 101, and the locking part 203 is located on one side of the locking opening 102 of the adjacent housing 10. The main body 201 of the locking member 20 is hinged to the housing 10 via a pin 40. The swing reset member 30 is sleeved on the pin 40, with one end of the swing reset member 30 connected to the pin 40 and the other end connected to the main body 201.

[0019] Reference Figures 5 to 11 An inclined limiting part 50 is provided at the locking opening 102. When the adjacent box 10 is locked, the locking part 203 of the locking member 20 extends into the locking opening 102 of the lower box 10 and engages with the inclined limiting part 50.

[0020] Furthermore, the side of the housing 10 has a first inclined pressing surface 103, and the locking part 203 is provided with a second inclined pressing surface 204 corresponding to the first inclined pressing surface 103.

[0021] Furthermore, the bottom of the box 10 is provided with a protruding support part 60, and the top of the box 10 is provided with a recessed part 70. When two boxes 10 are stacked, the support part 60 at the bottom of the box 10 matches the recessed part 70 at the top of the adjacent box 10, and the bottom surface of the support part 60 is flush with the end of the locking member 20.

[0022] In some embodiments, the top of the box 10 has a handle 80, which is configured to be rotatable and retractable. The recessed portion 70 has a groove 90, and the handle 80 can be stored in the groove 90 when not in use. When two adjacent boxes 10 are stacked, when a person performs the stacking operation, they will habitually lift the box 10 through the handle 80 and place the lifted box 10 on top of the lower box 10. After the person releases the handle 80, the support portion 60 of the upper box matches the recessed portion 70 of the lower box. At the same time, the weight of the upper box can lock the two stacked boxes 10 together. At this time, the handle 80 in the groove 90 of the lower box is covered by the upper box and is not exposed.

[0023] With the above structural design, when adjacent boxes 10 are stacked, the locking part 203 automatically locks with the 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 stimulating action to the stimulating part 202, the stimulating part 202 can drive the locking part 203 to change from a closed state to an open state, so that the locking part 203 separates from the locking opening 102 on the adjacent box 10, and the locking state between the stacked adjacent boxes 10 is released.

[0024] The locking process between two adjacent boxes 10 and the process of releasing the locking state are explained in detail below, taking into account the specific structure.

[0025] When adjacent boxes 10 are stacked, the upper box is designated as 10a and the lower box as 10b. After the upper box 10a is stacked on top of the lower box 10b, the support part 60 at the bottom of the upper box 10a is aligned with the recessed part 70 at the top of the lower box 10b. At this time, the locking part 20 on the upper box 10a is aligned with the locking opening 102 on the lower box 10b. Under the gravity of the upper box 10a, the second inclined pressing surface 204 of the locking part 203 on it contacts the first inclined pressing surface 103 on the lower box 10b. Under the gravity of the upper box 10a, the first inclined pressing surface 103 applies a pressing force to the second inclined pressing surface 204, causing the locking part 203 on the upper box 10a to expand toward the side of the lower box 10b. When the second inclined pressing surface 204 of the locking part 203 separates from the first inclined pressing surface 103 on the lower housing 10b, the swing reset member 30 drives the locking part 203 to hug the middle of the lower housing 10b and lock it with the locking port 102 on the lower housing 10b.

[0026] When the unlocked state of the two stacked boxes needs to be released, a person applies a triggering action to the trigger 202. Specifically, the person reaches into the grip opening 101 of the upper box 10a and pushes the trigger 202. The trigger 202 causes the locking part 203 to change from a closed state to an open state, so that the locking part 203 separates from the locking opening 102 on the lower box 10b. The locking state between the stacked adjacent boxes is released. After the person lifts the upper box 10a through the grip opening 101, the upper box 10a can be separated from the lower box 10b.

[0027] When multiple boxes 10 of this modular toolbox are stacked, after aligning the support parts 60 and recessed parts 70 of two adjacent boxes 10, the locking parts 20 installed on the boxes 10 automatically lock with the locking slots 102 on the adjacent boxes under their own weight. When two adjacent boxes 10 need to be separated, a person can reach into the grip opening 101 and push the trigger part 202 of the locking part 20. The locking part 203 of the locking part 20 automatically releases the locking state between the locking part 203 and the locking slots 102 on the adjacent boxes 10. At the same time, the lifting force applied by the person at the grip opening 101 can separate the upper box from the lower box. When the boxes of this modular toolbox are stacked, they can automatically lock with each other. When lifted, the locking state between adjacent boxes is automatically released, eliminating the locking action and locking release action between two boxes 10, making the operation convenient and quick.

[0028] 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.
