Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of toolbox technology, specifically to a lever toolbox with a lid that opens via sliding rails on both sides. Background Technology

[0002] In equipment maintenance, repair work, and mobile work scenarios, lever toolboxes are widely used due to their combination of storage, transportation, and portability. Existing lever toolbox lid structures are mainly divided into two categories: one is a hinged lid structure, where the lid is hinged to one side of the box body, requiring the lid to be flipped upwards to open the box; the other is a detachable lid structure, where the lid is detachably connected to the box body via a latch, requiring the latch to be opened to completely remove the lid.

[0003] Toolboxes with the aforementioned lid structure have a lid whose function is limited to covering the box body; their functionality is relatively simple. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a lever toolbox with a lid that opens via sliding rails on both sides, in order to solve the technical problem of the lid having a single function in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A lever toolbox with sliding rails on both sides for opening the lid includes a box body and a first lid and a second lid disposed opposite to each other at the upper opening of the box body. A first sliding rail assembly is disposed between the first lid and the box body, and a second sliding rail assembly is disposed between the second lid and the box body. The first lid can be slidably closed to or opened at the upper opening of the box body via the first sliding rail assembly and the second lid via the second sliding rail assembly. A locking structure is provided at the adjacent ends of the first lid and the second lid. The top of the first lid is provided with a first receiving cavity with an upward opening, and a first cover plate is provided at the opening of the first receiving cavity. The top of the second lid is provided with a second receiving cavity with an upward opening, and a second cover plate is provided at the opening of the second receiving cavity.

[0007] Optionally, the locking structure includes a mounting plate, a knob, and a locking groove. The mounting plate is integrally disposed on one end of the first box cover near the second box cover. The knob is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate. The locking groove is disposed on one end of the second box cover near the first box cover. When the first box cover and the second box cover are fitted together, one end of the knob can be engaged in the locking groove.

[0008] Optionally, the mounting plate includes a disc with a protruding wall around its perimeter and a recessed groove disposed around the protruding wall. The recessed groove is disposed opposite to the locking groove. A circumferential limiting groove is disposed inside the protruding wall. The knob includes a knob body and a limiting block and a locking block disposed below the knob body. The limiting block is engaged in the limiting groove. When the knob is rotated to make the limiting block slide in the limiting groove, the locking block can be engaged in the locking groove or the recessed groove to achieve locking or unlocking.

[0009] Optionally, the upper opening of the box is provided with a slide rail mounting component along its length. The first slide rail assembly includes a first rail and a second rail that can be slidably disposed relative to each other. The side of the first rail away from the second rail is connected to the first box cover, and the side of the second rail away from the first rail is connected to the end of the slide rail mounting component corresponding to the first box cover. The second slide rail assembly includes a third rail and a fourth rail that can be slidably disposed relative to each other. The side of the third rail away from the fourth rail is connected to the second box cover, and the side of the fourth rail away from the third rail is connected to the end of the slide rail mounting component corresponding to the second box cover.

[0010] Alternatively, the first rail is connected to the side wall of the first receiving cavity, and the third rail is connected to the side wall of the second receiving cavity.

[0011] Alternatively, the upper opening of the box body is provided with a boss with an internal cavity around its perimeter, the first box cover and the second box cover are fastened to the boss, and the slide rail mounting component is installed on the boss and disposed inside the side of the first box cover and the second box cover.

[0012] Alternatively, the housing may further include a pull rod, the telescopic end of which is disposed within the cavity of the boss.

[0013] Optionally, the side of the first cover away from the second cover is hinged to one side of the first receiving cavity, and the side of the first cover near the second cover is snap-fitted to the edge of the first receiving cavity; the side of the second cover away from the first cover is hinged to one side of the second receiving cavity, and the side of the second cover near the first cover is snap-fitted to the edge of the second receiving cavity.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] On the one hand, the first and second lids are positioned opposite each other at the top opening of the box body. A first slide rail assembly is provided between the first lid and the box body, and a second slide rail assembly is provided between the second lid and the box body. The first lid slides to close or open at the top opening of the box body via the first slide rail assembly and the second lid slides to open via the second slide rail assembly. Compared with traditional toolboxes, there is no need to flip or disassemble the lids as a whole, making operation more labor-saving. Moreover, after the double lids are opened horizontally, they can be used directly as a temporary tool placement platform, facilitating quick tool changes during operation and improving ease of use.

[0016] On the other hand, the first lid has a first receiving cavity with a first cover plate, and the second lid has a second receiving cavity with a second cover plate, forming independent storage spaces. Combined with the sliding rail opening mechanism, the storage area under the lid and the interior of the box can be exposed simultaneously, eliminating the need to repeatedly open and close the lid to retrieve various items, further optimizing the usage process and improving operational efficiency.

[0025] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] refer to Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a lever toolbox with sliding rails on both sides that open the lid, including a box body 1, a first lid 2, and a second lid 3. The first lid 2 and the second lid 3 are positioned opposite each other at the upper opening of the box body 1. The upper opening is rectangular, and the first lid 2 and the second lid 3 simultaneously close to the box body 1 to form a closed storage space. A first sliding rail assembly 4 is provided between the first lid 2 and the box body 1, and a second sliding rail assembly 5 is provided between the second lid 3 and the box body 1. The first lid 2 can slide to close to or open the upper opening of the box body 1 via the first sliding rail assembly 4, and the second lid 3 can slide via the second sliding rail assembly 5.

[0027] The top of the first box cover 2 is provided with an upward-opening first receiving cavity 21. The cavity wall of the first receiving cavity 21 extends downward from the top of the first box cover 2 in the same direction as the side of the first box cover 2. A first space is formed between the outer side of the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity 21 and the inner side of the side of the first box cover 2. A first cover plate 22 is provided at the opening of the first receiving cavity 21. The top of the second box cover 3 is provided with an upward-opening second receiving cavity 31. The cavity wall of the second receiving cavity 31 extends downward from the top of the second box cover 3 in the same direction as the side of the second box cover 3. A second space is formed between the outer side of the cavity wall of the second receiving cavity 31 and the inner side of the side of the second box cover 3. A second cover plate 32 is provided at the opening of the second receiving cavity 31.

[0028] In one embodiment, a boss 11 with an internal cavity is provided around the periphery of the upper opening of the box body 1. The first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 can be fastened to the boss 11. That is, the boss 11 is provided with protruding baffles 12 that are adapted to the sides of the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 respectively, so as to facilitate the fastening of the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 with the box body 1. A slide rail mounting member 9 is provided along the length direction of the upper opening of the box body 1. The slide rail mounting members 9 on both sides of the upper opening are respectively installed on the boss 11 and are located inside the sides of the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3. For example, the slide rail mounting member 9 is an L-shaped component including a base plate and a vertical plate. The base plate is fixedly connected to the boss 11, and the vertical plate extends upward from the side of the base plate away from the protruding baffles 12. When the adjacent ends of the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 are attached, the slide rail mounting member 9 is located in the first space and the second space mentioned above.

[0029] The slide rail mounting pieces 9 on both sides of the upper opening of the housing 1 are symmetrically installed, and the structures (slide rail assemblies) associated with the slide rail mounting pieces 9 are also symmetrically installed. In this embodiment, the slide rail mounting piece 9 and associated structures on the upper opening side of the housing 1 are described. The first slide rail assembly 4 and the second slide rail assembly are installed alternately on the slide rail mounting piece 9. The first slide rail assembly 4 includes a first rail and a second rail that can be slidably disposed relative to each other. The side of the first rail away from the second rail is connected to the first housing cover 2. Specifically, the first rail is connected to the side wall of the first receiving cavity 21, and the side of the second rail away from the first rail is connected to the end of the slide rail mounting piece 9 corresponding to the first housing cover 2. The second slide rail assembly 5 includes a third rail and a fourth rail that can be slidably disposed relative to each other. The side of the third rail away from the fourth rail is connected to the second housing cover 3. Specifically, the third rail is connected to the side wall of the second receiving cavity 31, and the side of the fourth rail away from the third rail is connected to the end of the slide rail mounting piece 9 corresponding to the second housing cover 3. The structures of the first slide rail assembly 4 and the second slide rail assembly 5 are identical and both belong to the prior art, and will not be described in detail here. When the first slide rail assembly 4 and the second slide rail assembly 5 are both in the fully closed state, the adjacent ends of the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 are in contact, and the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 are exactly covered by the upper opening of the box body 1; when the first slide rail assembly 4 and the second slide rail assembly 5 are both in the fully extended state, the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 are fully open to the upper opening of the box body 1.

[0030] The first lid 2 and the second lid 3 close and open the top opening of the box 1 by closing and unfolding the slide rail assembly. Compared with traditional toolboxes, there is no need to flip or disassemble the lid as a whole, making the operation more labor-saving. After the first lid 2 and the second lid 3 are opened horizontally on the box 1, they can be used as a temporary tool placement platform, which facilitates quick tool replacement during operation and improves the ease of use, thereby increasing the utilization of the lid.

[0031] In one embodiment, a locking structure is provided at the adjacent ends of the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 so that when the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 are closed on the upper opening of the box body 1, the positions of the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 can be locked.

[0032] The locking structure includes a mounting plate 6, a knob 7, and a locking groove 8. The mounting plate 6 is integrally mounted on the end of the first cover 2 near the second cover 3. The knob 7 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 6. The locking groove 8 is located on the end of the second cover 3 near the first cover 2. When the first cover 2 and the second cover 3 are in contact, one end of the knob 7 can be engaged in the locking groove 8. Specifically, the mounting plate 6 includes a disc with a protruding wall 61 around its periphery and a relief groove 62 located around the protruding wall 61. The relief groove 62 is opposite to the locking groove 8. When the adjacent ends of the first cover 2 and the second cover 3 are in contact, the relief groove 62 and the locking groove 8 form a complete annular channel around the protruding wall 61. The locking groove 8 has a raised edge on one side near the first cover 2. A circumferential limiting groove 63 is provided inside the protruding wall 61. The knob 7 includes a knob body 71 and a limiting block 72 and a locking block 73 located below the knob body 71. The limiting block 72 engages with the limiting groove 63, and a locking block is provided at the lower end of the limiting block 72 to prevent the limiting block 72 from exiting the limiting groove 63. For example, when the adjacent ends of the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 are in contact, rotating the knob 7 clockwise causes the limiting block 72 to slide within the limiting groove 63, and the locking block 73 can engage with the locking groove 8 to connect the second box cover 3. At this time, because the protruding edge of the locking groove 8 blocks the locking block 73, the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 cannot be opened. To open the box cover, the knob 7 must be rotated counterclockwise, and the locking block 73 can exit the locking groove 8 and engage with the retraction groove 62, thereby allowing the first box cover 2 and the second box cover 3 to be opened. The length of the limiting groove 63 is limited, with one part corresponding to the locking groove 8 and the other part corresponding to the retraction groove 62. To facilitate the rotation operation of the knob 7, a rotating handle can be provided above the knob body 71, and the knob body 71 can be marked with open / close indicators and directions.

[0033] The housing 1 also includes a telescopic pull rod 10, the telescopic end of which is located in the cavity of the boss 11.

[0034] The side of the first cover plate 22 away from the second cover 3 is hinged to the side of the first receiving cavity 21, and the side of the first cover plate 22 near the second cover 3 is snapped to the edge of the first receiving cavity 21; the side of the second cover plate 32 away from the first cover 2 is hinged to the side of the second receiving cavity 31, and the side of the second cover plate 32 near the first cover 2 is snapped to the edge of the second receiving cavity 31.

[0035] The first lid 2 has a first receiving cavity 21 with a first cover plate 22, and the second lid 3 has a second receiving cavity 31 with a second cover plate 32, forming independent storage spaces. Combined with the sliding rail opening method, the storage area under the lid and the interior of the box 1 can be exposed simultaneously, eliminating the need to repeatedly open and close the lid to retrieve various items, further optimizing the usage process and improving work efficiency.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
