Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive toolbox technology, and in particular to a multi-layer composite pad structure and an automotive EPP toolbox. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive industry and aftermarket, toolboxes are essential equipment for storing, carrying, and protecting various repair tools, precision instruments, and even spare parts.
[0003] Currently, traditional toolboxes are mainly made of metal or ordinary engineering plastics. Although metal toolboxes are sturdy, they have inherent disadvantages such as being too heavy, easily corroded and rusted, and prone to noise from collisions with tools when the vehicle is bumpy. Ordinary engineering plastic toolboxes, on the other hand, are not good at impact resistance and weather resistance, and are prone to aging, embrittlement, or even cracking after long-term use.
[0004] More importantly, the internal protection design of traditional toolboxes is generally weak. Their interiors are usually divided into spaces by simple plastic partitions, and the cushioning measures are limited to laying a layer of pearl cotton or EVA foam. This simple cushioning structure cannot effectively absorb and disperse energy when faced with the continuous vibration generated by the car in motion, the inertial impact of frequent starts and stops, and accidental collisions. As a result, the precision tools or vulnerable parts stored inside, such as multimeters, will collide with each other due to long-term vibration, causing them to loosen, become inaccurate in calibration, wear out, or even fail to function.
[0005] Meanwhile, toolboxes made of EPP material have begun to appear on the market. EPP material has the advantages of being lightweight, impact-resistant, and weather-resistant. However, the internal cushioning pads of existing EPP toolboxes often have a simple structure and weak interlayer bonding. They are prone to delamination after long-term use. Furthermore, their support and wear resistance are insufficient, making it impossible to provide adequate protection for heavy tools or tools with sharp edges, such as adjustable wrenches and electrician's knives.
[0006] Therefore, in order to address the above problems, the applicant needs to design a multi-layer composite pad structure and an automotive EPP toolbox to solve the problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] On one hand, this application provides a multi-layer composite pad structure, including a cushioning pad, wherein the cushioning pad is stacked from top to bottom with a top layer, an intermediate cushioning layer, a reinforcing layer, and a bottom layer, and adjacent layers are fixedly connected by an adhesive. The intermediate cushioning layer is an EPP foam layer with a mesh structure, and the upper and lower surfaces of the intermediate cushioning layer are provided with textured surfaces to increase the bonding area. The reinforcing layer is a three-layer composite structure, including an upper fiber cloth layer, an intermediate support foam layer, and a lower fiber cloth layer. The upper and lower fiber cloth layers are respectively bonded to the upper and lower surfaces of the intermediate support foam layer by an adhesive. The bottom layer is a silicone layer.
[0008] Preferably, the adhesive is an epoxy resin adhesive, which provides high strength and durable bonding, ensuring that the multilayer structure is not prone to delamination under vibration.
[0009] Preferably, the surface layer is microfiber leather, which has soft and wear-resistant properties and can effectively prevent the tool surface from being scratched or worn.
[0010] Preferably, the lower surface of the bottom layer is provided with anti-slip texture. The silicone bottom layer combined with the anti-slip texture enhances the stability of the cushioning pad and prevents the toolbox from causing the cushioning pad to slide during movement.
[0011] Preferably, in another aspect, this application also provides an automotive EPP toolbox with a multi-layer composite pad structure, including a box body, a partition plate fixedly disposed inside the box body, and a tool cavity formed between the partition plate and the inner wall of the box body, wherein the multi-layer composite pad structure is embedded in the tool cavity, and the surface layer of the multi-layer composite pad structure is provided with a tool groove.
[0012] Preferably, a perforated section is formed between the partition plate and the inner wall of the box, and a grid plate is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the perforated section. The perforated section and the grid plate reduce the weight of the toolbox and provide ventilation and drainage functions to avoid corrosion caused by tools with oil.
[0013] Preferably, a positioning plate is snapped into the inner side of the box, and the positioning plate divides the inner space of the box into several cavities. The positioning plate can flexibly adjust the layout of the internal cavities to adapt to the storage needs of different tool sizes and improve space utilization.
[0014] Preferably, the buffer pad is provided with a foolproof groove, and the foolproof groove is adapted to the positioning plate. The foolproof groove design ensures that the buffer pad and the positioning plate are accurately aligned, avoiding installation errors and improving assembly efficiency.
[0015] Preferably, a connecting ring is fixedly provided on the outside of the box, and the connecting ring is connected to an external fixing object. The connecting ring facilitates the toolbox to be fixed in a vehicle or other location, preventing it from moving or tipping over in a bumpy environment.
[0016] This utility model provides a multi-layer composite pad structure and an automotive EPP toolbox, which, compared with the prior art: 1. This utility model adopts a multi-layer composite pad structure. Through the synergistic effect of the surface layer, EPP foam middle layer, fiber cloth reinforcement layer and silicone bottom layer, the protective performance of the toolbox is improved. The microfiber leather surface layer can effectively prevent the tool surface from being scratched. The mesh EPP foam layer combined with the surface texture enhances the material's energy absorption and dispersion ability, buffering continuous vibration and accidental impact. The high-strength fiber cloth composite layer provides excellent support and puncture and tear resistance, ensuring that heavy or bladed tools will not damage the cushioning pad itself, thus improving the cushioning pad's performance of gentle contact, efficient cushioning and rigid support.
[0017] 2. The toolbox of this utility model forms a modular storage space through the partition plate and adjustable positioning plate. With the customized tool slot and anti-mistake slot design on the cushioning pad, it not only realizes the neat and orderly storage and quick access of tools, but also avoids mis-installation. In addition, the hollow part and grid plate design of the box body further reduces the weight and enhances the practicality, thereby improving the use effect of the car toolbox.

The upper fiber cloth layer 251 and the lower fiber cloth layer 253 are respectively bonded to the upper and lower surfaces of the intermediate support foam layer 252 by an adhesive. The bottom layer 25 is a silicone layer.
[0023] The adhesive is an epoxy resin adhesive, the top layer 22 is made of microfiber leather, the bottom layer 25 is made of silicone, and the lower surface of the silicone is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 On the other hand, this application also provides an automotive EPP toolbox with a multi-layer composite pad structure, including a box body 1, a partition plate 10 fixedly disposed on the inner side of the box body 1, and a tool cavity 11 formed between the partition plate 10 and the inner wall of the box body 1, a multi-layer composite pad structure embedded in the tool cavity 11, and a tool groove 20 provided on the surface layer 22 of the multi-layer composite pad structure.
[0025] A perforated portion 12 is formed between the partition plate 10 and the inner wall of the box body 1, and a grid plate 13 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the perforated portion 12.
