BACKGROUND INFORMATION

In order to facilitate the user in the case of carrying multiple storage boxes (such as toolboxes) to facilitate the overall movement and use, each storage box is usually stacked together, and each storage box is usually locked together by interlocking, so as to facilitate the user to move and use. A number of ways are known for interlocking storage boxes. Now on the market, there are roughly the following three forms of locking: the first way uses a single plastic latch that can be turned to clasp the lower bottom of the box protrusion to achieve the purpose of interlocking; the second way is the conventional use of the front of the two-segment latch moved to the side to lock between the upper and lower boxes; and the third way uses a combination of steel wire and plastic to lock boxes together at the side. However, the above locking methods can only be interlocked for the same length and width of the shape of the box, and cannot be interlocked for different length and width of the size of the shape of the box, with many professional users needing to carry more and more diverse types of tools, there is an urgent need for interlocking between different sizes of the box.

As shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 12 and FIG. 15, the structure of the second locking mechanism 130 is described with the second locking mechanism 130 installed in the main storage box 100 as an example. A first embodiment of the second locking mechanism 130 is shown in the figure, and the second locking mechanism 130 includes a second attachment shaft 131 and a second snap hook 132, and a second recess 116 is provided at the location where the second locking mechanism 130 is installed on the first end face 111 of the main storage box 100, and the second recess 116 is provided at the edge of the first end face 111, and the second recess 116 is open along the first direction and the second The second recess 116 is opened at the edge of the first end face 111 and the second recess 116 is open at one end in the first and second directions. The two ends of the second attachment shaft 131 are fixed to two opposite side walls of the second recess 116 along the third direction perpendicular to each other, and the second snap hook 132 is provided on the second attachment shaft 131 so that the second snap hook 132 can rotate around the central axis of the second attachment shaft 131.

As shown in conjunction with FIG. 1, FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, when the second locking mechanism 130 of the main storage box 100 snaps into the second locking bit 140 of the secondary storage box 300, or when the second locking mechanism 130 of one main storage box 100 snaps into the second locking position 140 of the other main storage box 100, the second snap hook 132 is rotated relative to the second attachment shaft 131 to be fully accommodated in the second recess 116 so that the second locking mechanism 130 can cooperate with the first locking mechanism 120 so as to form a first locking gap in the first direction on the first end face 111 of the main storage box 100, or so that the two second locking mechanisms 130 of the main storage box 100 can cooperate so as to form a second locking gap in the first direction on the first end face 111 of the main storage box 100, when the side of the first box body 110 remains flat while the bent portion of the second snap hook 132 hooks the bottom cavity wall of the holding cavity of the mount in the second locking bit 140 and holds against the side cavity wall of the holding cavity of the mount to limit the mutual displacement between the main storage box 100 and the secondary storage box 300 or between the two main storage boxes 100 in the second direction and the third direction.

When it is not necessary to interlock the main storage box 100 and the secondary storage box 300 or when it is not necessary to lock the two main storage boxes100 to each other, the second snap hook 132 is rotated in the opposite direction relative to the second attachment shaft 131 so that the end of the second snap hook 132 away from the second attachment shaft 131 extends out of the second recess 116.

As shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 14 and FIG. 16, again taking the second locking mechanism 130 installed in the main storage box 100 as an example, a second embodiment of the second locking mechanism 130 is shown, and unlike the first embodiment of the second locking mechanism 130, the second locking mechanism 130 is movable in a retractable movable manner relative to the first box body 110. Specifically, the second locking mechanism 130 includes two rails 133, the rails 133 are fixed to the bottom wall of the second recess 116 in the second direction, and the bottom of the second snap hook 132 is provided with two travel slots (not shown) matching the rails 133, each travel slot is set on one rail 133 to enable the second snap hook 132 to move in the second direction. When the second locking mechanism 130 of the main storage box 100 snaps into the second locking bit 140 of the secondary storage box 300, or when the second locking mechanism 130 of one main storage box 100 locks the second locking bit 140 of the other main storage box 100, the second snap hook 132 moves along the rail 133 to fully accommodate the second recess 116, so that the first box body 110 of the main storage box 100 is sides of the first box body 110 of the main storage box 100 are kept flat while the bent portion of the second snap hook 132 is held against the side and bottom cavity walls of the holding cavity of the mount to limit mutual displacement between the main storage box 100 and the secondary storage box 300 or between the two main storage boxes 100 in the second and third directions. When it is not necessary to interlock the main storage box 100 and the secondary storage box 300 or when it is not necessary to lock the two main storage boxes100 to each other, the second snap hook 132 is moved in the opposite direction along the rail 133 so that one end of the second snap hook 132 extends out of the second recess 116.

The second locking mechanism 320 of the secondary storage box 300 is identical in structure to the second locking mechanism 130 of the main storage box 100. In this embodiment, the second locking mechanism 320 of the secondary storage box 300 is structured in a retractable implementation, with locking achieved by retraction of the snap hooks. The structure of the third locking mechanism 330 of the secondary storage box 300 is similar to the rotatable implementation of the second locking mechanism 320 in the main storage box 100, which is also locked by means of a snap hook flip, and will not be repeated here.

The above storage box set 10, by using the first locking mechanism 120, the second locking mechanism 130, the second locking bit 140, the plurality of tabs and the plurality of corresponding depressions of the main storage box 100 and the second locking mechanism 320, the third locking mechanism 330, the first locking bit 340, the second locking bit 350, the plurality of tabs and the plurality of corresponding depressions of the secondary storage box 300 in conjunction, is able to simultaneously restrict the relative displacement between two stacked boxes in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction, so as to achieve the purpose of interlocking.

When the user needs to use a single storage box, the interlocked storage boxes in the storage box set 10 need to be unlocked. When unlocking two main boxes 100 of the same size, it is necessary to first unlock the second locking mechanism 130 of one main storage box 100, pull out the second snap hook 132 relative to the first box body 110 of the main storage box 100 to protrude from the side of the first box body 110, so that the second snap hook 132 is free from the second locking bit 140, and then unlock the other second locking mechanism 130 so that the second snap hook 132 of the other second The second snap hook 132 of the other second locking mechanism 130 is released from its corresponding second locking bit 140, thereby unlocking the two main storage boxes 100 of the same size. When unlocking two main storage boxes100 and secondary storage boxes 300 of different sizes, taking the secondary storage boxes300 stacked on top of the main storage boxes100 as an example, the second locking mechanism 130 of one first storage box 100 is unlocked first, and then the first locking mechanism 120 is unlocked so that the first snap hook 122 of the first locking mechanism 120 is detached from the first locking bit 340 of the corresponding secondary storage box 300, thus realizing the unlocking of two main storage boxes100 of the same size. The first locking mechanism 120 is then unlocked so that the first snap hook 122 of the first locking mechanism 120 is disengaged from the first locking bit 340 of the corresponding secondary storage box 300, thus realizing the unlocking of two different sizes of the main storage box 100 and the secondary storage box 300. When unlocking two secondary storage boxes 300 of the same size, the second locking mechanism 320 of one secondary storage box 300 is first unlocked, so that the second locking mechanism 320 is released from its corresponding second locking bit 350, and then the third locking mechanism 330 of one secondary storage box 300 is unlocked, so that the third locking mechanism 330 is released from its corresponding first locking bit 340, thus realizing the unlocking of two secondary storage boxes300 of the same size. The third locking mechanism 330 is released from its corresponding first locking bit 340, so as to unlock two sub-storage boxes 300 of the same size.

Specifically, when two storage bins 20c are stacked, the second limiting member 122c of one of the storage bins 20c is embedded in the second slot 221c of the other storage bin 20c, thereby further limiting the vertical displacement between the two storage bins 20c, and the two storage bins 20c have two fixing points between the front and rear, for better fixing effect. In other embodiments, the locking of the second limiting member 122c with the second slot 221c may also limit both vertical and horizontal displacement between the two storage bins 20c. In this embodiment, the second slot 221c is formed on the second snap hook 22c, but the structure forming the second slot 221c is not limited to this. The second snap hook 22c is provided with a third guide ramp 222c, thereby facilitating the second limiting member 122c to slide into the second slot 221c.

One end of the resilient member 123c abuts against the second locking mechanism 1c and the other end abuts against the storage box 20c. In this embodiment, one end of the resilient member 123c abuts against the attachment portion 121ac on the drive member 121c and the other end abuts against the storage box 20c. In other embodiments, one end of the resilient member 123c may also be abutted against the first locking clasp 11c. Specifically, the resilient member 123c can make the drive member 121c of the second locking buckle 12c automatically located in the first position to keep the first locking buckle 11c automatically in the locked state, the drive member 121c moved to the second position by external force, the drive member 121c drive the first locking buckle 11c into the unlocked state. The resilient member 123c, such as a spring, the resilient member 123c is set on the transmission member 121c and one end is connected to the connection 121ac, and the other end of the resilient member 123c is connected to the storage box 20c, and the second locking buckle 12c is automatically fixed in the first position by the elastic force of the resilient member 123c, so as to realize the automatic locking of the first locking buckle 11c and the second locking buckle 12c.

Further, the second locking buckle 12c also includes a tie bar 124cthat can be connected to a plurality of transmission members 121c, in this embodiment, the tie bar 214cis provided at one end of the two transmission members 121c away from the connecting part 121ac and connected to the two transmission members 121c. The lever 214cis used to allow the user to pull the drive members 121c to unlock the first locking buckle 11c. In other embodiments, a plurality of pull rods 214cmay be provided.

Further, the second locking buckle 12c also includes a connecting rod 215c that can connect a plurality of rods 214c. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 215c is set between the rods 214cof the two second locking buckles 12c and can drive a plurality of rods 214cto move; when the number of second locking buckles 12c is two and set side by side, the two rods 214care connected to each other by the connecting rod 215c. The storage box 20c corresponding to the position of the connecting rod 215c is provided with avoidance groove, pulling the connecting rod 215c can move the transmission member 121c, so that pulling the connecting rod 215c can simultaneously control the movement of the two second locking buckle 12c. In this embodiment, the locker 20c is also provided with a handheld section 203c. The handheld section 203c is provided on the same side as the rod 215c to facilitate the user to lift the locker 20c while unlocking it. in other embodiments, the rod 215c can also be used as the handheld section 203c to simplify the design and achieve multiple uses of the rod 215c.
