Referring to fig. 1-2, the present application provides a stacked container comprising at least two identical containers 100, each of the containers 100 comprising a box 120 and a lid 110, the box 120 being connected to the lid and defining a receiving space for receiving tools. The bottom of the box 120 is provided with at least one limiting guide rail 121, the cover 110 is provided with at least one limiting guide groove 111, and the limiting guide rail 121 at the bottom of one box 120 is engaged with the limiting guide groove 111 on the cover 110 of another container 100 to limit the degree of freedom of one container 100 relative to the other container 100 in the first direction and the second direction. One end of the limiting guide groove 111 is a closed end 111a, and the other end is an open end 111b, and the closed end 111a limits the degree of freedom of one container 100 relative to the other container 100 in the third direction along the direction from the open end 111b to the closed end 111 a; at least one detent structure 112 is disposed on a side of the box 120 away from the closed end 111a, and/or at least one detent structure 112 is disposed on a side of the cover 110 away from the closed end 111a, so as to limit the degree of freedom of one of the containers 100 relative to the other container 100 in a third direction along the closed end 111a to the open end 111 b.

The first direction is a width extending direction of the limiting guide groove 111, the second direction is a depth extending direction of the limiting guide groove 111, and the third direction is a length extending direction of the limiting guide groove. That is, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other two by two.

The container 100 stacked on each other has freedom in the first and second directions by providing the stopper rail 121 on the case 120 and the stopper guide groove 111 on the cover 110, and the stopper rail 121 on the bottom of the case 120 of one container 100 is engaged with the stopper guide groove 111 on the cover 110 of the other container 100. Further, one end of the limiting guide groove 111 is a closed end 111a, and the other end is an open end 111b, the closed end 111a limits the degree of freedom of one of the containers 100 relative to the other container 100 in the third direction along the open end 111b to the closed end 111a, and the container 100 further includes a retaining structure 112, and the retaining structure 112 can limit the degree of freedom of one of the containers 100 relative to the other container 100 in the third direction along the closed end 111a to the open end 111 b. The freedom of all the containers 100 on the stacked container from each other is thereby limited, making the stacking of the stacked containers more stable and secure.

Specifically, the width of the opening of the closed end 111a, the width of the position-limiting guide rail 121, and the width of the open end 111b are sequentially increased in the second direction, so that one end of the position-limiting guide rail 121 can enter the position-limiting guide groove 111 from the open end 111b and reach the closed end 111a, and since the width of the position-limiting guide rail 121 is smaller than the opening of the closed end 111a, the degree of freedom in the first direction of two containers 100 stacked on each other can be restricted.

Further, a first groove (not shown in the figure) is formed in the closed end 111a, the depth of the first groove extends along the length direction of the limiting guide groove 111, a first protruding portion (not shown in the figure) is formed at one end of the limiting guide rail 121 along the length direction of the limiting guide rail, and when at least two containers 100 are stacked, the first protruding portion is engaged with the first groove. This may better limit the freedom of two containers 100 stacked on top of each other in said first and second directions.

Referring to fig. 3-5 in conjunction with fig. 1-2, the detent structure 112 includes a connecting portion 112a and a rotating portion 112b, the connecting portion 112a is connected to the case body 120, the rotating portion 112b is connected to the connecting portion 112a and can rotate around the connecting portion 112a to abut against the case cover 110 of another container 100 and/or the connecting portion 112a is connected to the case cover 110, and the rotating portion 112b is connected to the connecting portion 112a and can rotate around the connecting portion 112a to abut against the case body 120 of another container 100. That is, the connecting portion 112a may be provided on the case body 120 or the case cover 110, or the case body 120 and the case cover 110 may be provided with the connecting portion 112a, and correspondingly, the rotating portion 112b may be rotatable and abut against the case cover 110 of another container 100 or the case body 120 of another container 100, or abut against the case cover 110 of the container 100 located therebelow and the case body 120 of the container 100 located thereabove, respectively, to limit the degree of freedom in the direction from the closed end 111a to the open end 111b of the two stacked containers 100 in the third direction.

Referring to fig. 5, the rotating portion 112b has a first state and a second state, and when the rotating portion 112b is in the first state, i.e. the position of the locking structure 112 on the upper container 100, the rotating portion 112b does not protrude from the container 100 connected to the connecting portion 112 a. When the rotating portion 112b is in the second state, i.e., the position of the locking structure 112 on the lower container 100, the rotating portion 112b protrudes from the container 100 connected to the connecting portion 112a and abuts against the other container 100.

For convenience of description, the orientation of the cover 110 is an upper surface, the corresponding orientation of the case 120 is a lower surface, the surface for lifting the cover 110 is a front surface, the surface opposite to the front surface is a rear surface, the surface on the left side of the front surface is a left surface, and the surface opposite to the left surface is a right surface.

The stackable container is configured to: when at least two containers 100 are stacked, one end of the position-limiting guide rail 121 is aligned with the closed end 111a, the other end of the position-limiting guide rail 121 is aligned with the open end 111b, and the locking structure 112 abuts against another container 100 to limit the degree of freedom of one container 100 relative to another container 100 in a third direction along the direction from the closed end 111a to the open end 111 b.

Specifically, the upper container 100 and the lower container 100 are staggered up and down and back and forth, the limit guide rail 121 at the bottom of the box body 120 of the upper container 100 is embedded into the box cover 110 of the lower container 100, so that left and right positioning effects are achieved, the upper container 100 is pushed after left and right limiting is completed, the upper, lower, left, right and rear degrees of freedom of the two containers 100 are limited through the matching of the limit guide rail 121 of the upper container 100 and the limit guide groove 111 of the lower container 100, and when the rotating part 112b rotates 90 degrees or 270 degrees, namely, when the rotating part 112b is in a second state, the two containers 100 are stacked and fixed by limiting the degree of freedom in the front.

Referring to fig. 6 in conjunction with fig. 3, when the stack is to be removed, the rotating portion 112b rotates to the position shown in fig. 3, and the upper container 100 is pulled forward by the handle 130, so that the stop rail 121 of the upper container 100 moves horizontally to disengage from the stop guide groove 111 of the cover 110 of the lower container 100, and the stacked container 100 can be lifted up and separated.

The locking structure 112 is mainly used for limiting the connection between the box body 120 and the box cover 110 and the mutual connection between the two containers 100, the required function is selected through the rotating angle, the limiting function is 0 degree when the limiting function is not performed, the upward displacement in the front of the two containers 100 can be limited when the container is rotated by 90 degrees or 270 degrees, the limiting effect is achieved, and only the box cover 110 of a single container 100 is locked to be opened and closed when the container is rotated by 180 degrees.

Preferably, the number of the locking structures is 2, when only the box body 120 or the box cover 110 is provided with the locking structures 112, the two locking structures 112 are symmetrically arranged with respect to a center line of the container in the third direction, and when the box body 120 and the box cover 110 are respectively provided with one locking structure 112, the two locking structures 112 are symmetrically arranged with respect to a center of a plane where the locking structures are located. Therefore, the limiting effect is better, and the device is more stable and firm. Of course, the number of the locking structures 112 may be more than 2, for example, 3, 4, or 5, without considering the cost, as long as the arrangement can improve the limiting effect and the stability, and the number is not limited herein.

Wherein, the number of the limit guide rails 121 is the same as that of the limit guide grooves 111. Preferably, the number of the limit guide rails 121 is 2, that is, the number of the limit guide grooves 111 is also 2. And, further, the two limit guide rails 121 and the two limit guide grooves 111 are symmetrically disposed with respect to a center line of the container 100 in the third direction.
