[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings: like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a flip-top interlocking tool cabinet includes a cabinet body, which includes a first side panel and a second side panel on both sides, a cabinet back panel on the back, and a flip-top. A handle groove 14 is provided in the middle of both the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 3 to facilitate lifting the tool cabinet by hand.

[0018] The upper part of the cabinet 1 is equipped with a partition 5. The front edge of the partition 5 has an integrally formed vertically downward panel 51. The center of the panel 51 has a pre-drilled mounting hole for fixing the lock structure. At the same time, a through hole 52 is opened on the partition 5 directly above the lock structure. The size of the through hole 52 is adapted to the lock hook 6 of the lock structure to ensure that the lock hook 6 can pass through smoothly. The partition 5 fits tightly with the first side panel 2, the second side panel 3 and the back panel of the cabinet, precisely dividing the internal space of the cabinet 1 into upper and lower layers: the upper layer is the first storage space, which is specially used for storing and retrieving large tools to meet the storage needs of large equipment; the lower layer is the second storage space, which is equipped with three drawers 7 arranged vertically, mainly used for classifying and storing small tools to achieve orderly storage of tools; the front panel of the drawer 7 has a bent plate 72 for easy hand grip. Within the first storage space, a power strip socket 10 and a cable hole 13 are provided. The power strip socket 10 is fixed to the upper inner surface of the first side plate 2 (or can be fixed to the upper inner surface of the second side plate 3 according to actual usage needs) to provide a power interface for power tools and meet the temporary use or charging needs of the tools. The cable hole is located at the upper part of the back plate to ensure that the external power cord can pass through smoothly.

[0019] In this embodiment, the number of drawers 7 can be adjusted according to actual usage needs.

[0020] The top flap 4 of the cabinet 1 adopts a three-fold plate-shaped one-piece molding structure, including a horizontal top plate, a sloping plate extending downward from the edge of the top plate, and a front side plate 41 extending vertically downward from the edge of the sloping plate.

[0021] One side of the top panel is hinged to the back panel of the cabinet 1. A cover opening groove 411 is provided in the middle of the front panel 41, with the groove 411 angled upwards and recessed inwards to facilitate opening the flip cover 4. The lower edge of the front panel 41 has an integrally formed horizontally folded edge 412, with a locking hole 4121 in the middle. The locking hole 4121 is aligned vertically with the through hole 52 on the partition plate 5. When the flip cover 4 is closed, the locking hook 6 of the locking structure on the partition plate 5 can pass through the through hole 52 and the locking hole 4121 in sequence, locking the flip cover 4 to the cabinet 1 and ensuring the safety of the tools inside the cabinet 1.

[0022] To prevent the flip cover 4 from violently impacting the cabinet 1 due to gravity when it is opened, and to achieve slow opening and closing, support members 12 are installed between the flip cover 4 and the first side panel 2 and the second side panel 3 respectively. The support members 12 can be gas springs or hydraulic rods to ensure that the flip cover 4 generates a stable buffering force during opening and avoids impact damage when closing.

[0023] The lock structure is the core component that ensures the security of the flip cover 4 when locked, including the lock hole, lock shaft, and lock hook 6. The lock hole is pre-embedded in the mounting hole in the middle of the panel 51, the lock shaft is rotatably inserted into the lock hole, and the lock hook 6 is fixed to the upper end of the lock shaft. The shape of the lock hook 6 is perfectly matched with the through hole 52 and the locking hole 4121 to ensure tightness when locked.

[0024] When the flip cover 4 needs to be locked, first close the flip cover 4 so that the folded edge 412 fits against the outer side of the panel 51, at which point the locking hole 4121 aligns with the through hole 52; then rotate the locking shaft, causing the locking hook 6 to rotate, so that the locking hook 6 passes through the through hole 52 and the locking hole 4121 in sequence; finally, rotate the locking shaft in the opposite direction, and the locking hook 6 locks into the inner side of the folded edge 412, completing the locking. To unlock, rotate the locking shaft in the opposite direction, so that the locking hook 6 disengages from the locking hole 4121 and the through hole 52, and the flip cover 4 can be opened.

[0025] In this embodiment, a spring-loaded interlocking mechanism 8 is provided between the cabinet 1 and the three-layer drawer 7.

[0026] The spring-loaded interlocking mechanism 8 includes a locking guide rod 81, a locking hole 811, a locking hook 71, a spring support seat 11, and a spring 83.

[0027] The locking guide rod 81 is vertically mounted on the back panel of cabinet 1. Three locking holes 811 are spaced vertically along the vertical direction of the locking guide rod 81. The number of locking holes 811 corresponds to the number of drawer layers 7, and the height of the locking holes 811 is greater than the height of the locking hooks 71, ensuring that the locking holes 811 engage with the locking hooks 71 on the back panel of drawer 7. The locking hooks 71 are fixed to the back panel of drawer 7, forming a horizontally upward hook. When drawer 7 is fully pushed into cabinet 1, the locking hooks 71 can accurately engage with the corresponding locking holes 811. The drawer 7 is initially locked; the spring support 11 is fixed to the back panel of the cabinet 1, and the spring support 11 is provided with a vertical spring guide shaft 9. The spring guide shaft 9 is surrounded by a spring 83, and the lower end of the spring 83 abuts against the upper surface of the spring support 11; the locking guide rod 81 has a horizontally protruding pressure plate 82, and the middle of the pressure plate 82 is provided with a through hole, so that the spring guide shaft 9 passes through the pressure plate 82. The lower surface of the pressure plate 82 abuts against the upper end of the spring 83, and the spring 83 is in a natural extension and contraction state, providing upward support force for the locking guide rod 81.

[0028] When the flip cover 4 is closed, the lower surface of the top plate of the flip cover 4 presses down on the upper end of the locking guide rod 81, causing the locking guide rod 81 to move downward along the spring guide shaft 9, and the pressure plate 82 simultaneously compresses the spring 83 downward. At this time, the locking hole 811 on the locking guide rod 81 and the locking hook 71 of the drawer 7 are locked, and the drawer 7 cannot be pulled out. When the flip cover 4 is opened, the pressure on the locking guide rod 81 disappears, the spring 83 returns to its elastic deformation, and pushes the pressure plate 82 and the locking guide rod 81 upward. The locking hole 811 moves upward and disengages from the locking hook 71, so the drawer 7 can be pushed and pulled freely.
