DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS



[0019] A detailed description of the present invention in combination with the figures are as follows.

[0020] Example 1. Referring to Fig. 1, the detachable tool trolley comprises a small trolley part 1 and a big trolley part 2 arranged directly opposite to each other. A group of small roller wheels 1-1 (referring to Fig. 7, four roller wheels in this example) are arranged at the bottom of the inner side surface of the small trolley part 1. A positioning groove 2-1 (referring to Fig. 8) is arranged at the corresponding position of the big trolley part 2. The positioning groove 2-1 has one side opened for in-out of the small roller wheels 1-1. A connection buckle 2-2 is arranged at the top of the big trolley part 2 and used for being clamped into a connection notch 1-2 at the top of the small trolley part 1 to realize closing and fixation of the big trolley part 2 and the small trolley part 1 (referring to Figs. 1 and 3). The small trolley part 1 has outer side opened and is provided with a number of layers of storage racks 3 for placing tools. The big trolley part 2 is also provided with a number of layers of storage racks 3. Universal wheels 4 are arranged at the bottoms of both the big trolley part 2 and the small trolley part 1. Handles 5 are arranged at the tops of the outer side surfaces of both the big trolley part 2 and the small trolley part 1 and used for pushing and pulling the small trolley part 1 and/or the big trolley part 2.

[0021] Referring to Figs. 10 and 11, a connection bracket 7 is hinged at the top of the big trolley part 2, and a connection plate 6 is covered on the connection bracket 7, so that the connection plate 6 can rotate between a first position and a second position. Referring to Figs. 12 and 13, a connection frame 7-8 is arranged at one end of the connection bracket 7 away from the big trolley part 2, and the bottom of the connection frame 7-8 is provided with a clamping slot 7-5. A hinge pin 7-3 with torsional spring 7-4 (limiting the rotation range of the supporting legs 7-1 to 0-90 degrees) passes through the connection frame 7-8 to hinge the supporting legs 7-1 and the connection bracket 7, so that the supporting legs 7-1 can rotate around the hinge pin 7-3. The supporting legs 7-1 are provided thereon with a sliding block 7-6, and both ends of the sliding block 7-6 extend out from two sides of the supporting legs 7-1. A sliding slot 7-7 is opened on the side wall of each supporting leg 7-1 and used for up-and-down sliding of the sliding block 7-6. A projection 7-9 is arranged at the bottom of the sliding block 7-6 and used for fitting a draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2 (structure similar to draw bar of draw bar box) at the lower part of the supporting leg 7-1. When the projection 7-9 moves downwards along with the sliding block 7-6 and against a trigger button of the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2, the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2 is in free telescoping. Referring to Fig. 6, the inner side surface of the big trolley part 2 is sunken inwardly to form a rectangular groove 2-3. When the connection plate 6 is located at the first position (that is, the connection plate 6 and the connection bracket 7 are fitted to the inner side surface of the big trolley part 2, referring to Fig. 10), the supporting legs 7-1 are fitted with the connection bracket 7 and received into the rectangular groove 2-3. When the connection plate 6 is located at the second position (that is, the connection bracket 7 has an angle of 90 degree with the inner side surface of the big trolley part 2 and supports the connection plate 6) and the supporting legs 7-1 rotate to be perpendicular to the connection bracket 7, two ends of the sliding block 7-6 are clamped into the clamping slot 7-5 at the bottom of the connection frame 7-8, and the supporting legs 7-1 cannot continue to rotate around the hinge pin 7-3. The supporting legs 7-1 are contacted with and supported by the ground through the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2 to form an independent supporting structure of the big trolley part 2. When the sliding block 7-6 moves downwardly along the sliding slot 7-7 and is released from the clamping slot 7-5, the supporting legs 7-1 automatically rotate under the action of torsional spring 7-4 and are fitted with the connection bracket 7, and projection 7-9 is abutted against the trigger button of the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2, so that the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2 can be contracted. The length of the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2 after complete extension is larger than the height of the rectangular groove 2-3, to ensure contact with the ground for supporting, at the same time, the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2 can be not received into the rectangular groove 2-3 at extending state. The length of the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2 after contraction is smaller than the height of the rectangular groove 2-3, to ensure the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2 after contraction can be received by the rectangular groove 2-3 (referring to Fig. 11).

[0022] Referring to Figs. 4, 5 and 6, when the connection plate 6 is located at the second position, a projection 6-1 at the end part of the connection plate 6 can be clamped into the connection notch 1-2 of the small trolley part 1 to realize extension and fixation of the big trolley part 2 and small trolley part 1. Referring to Fig. 10, a button 6-2 is arranged on the projection 6-1 and used for pressing control of a bolt arranged in the projection 6-1, so as to achieve fixation or separation of the connection plate 6 and the connection notch 1-2.

[0023] As a preferable technical scheme, mark stickers 8 are stuck on the outer surfaces of the storage racks 3 by magnetic suction and used for indicating the types of placed tools. More preferably, the storage racks 3 of the small trolley part 1 are semi-opened (referring to Figs. 4 and 6) for flexible access, and the storage racks 3 of the big trolley part 2 are drawer type (referring to Fig. 1) for storage of tools.

[0024] As a preferable technical scheme, a socket 9 is provided on the outer surface of the big trolley part 2. A power cord exit 10 is opened on side of the socket 9 and used for being connected with an external circuit.

[0025] As a preferable technical scheme, a scale area 2-4 is provided on the top surface of the big trolley part 2 to facilitate measuring operation.

[0026] Working processes of the present invention are as follows.

[0027] When the tool trolley is at closing state, the small roller wheels 1-1 of the small trolley part 1 are embedded in the positioning groove 2-1 of the big trolley part 2, while the connection plate 6 has an angle of 90 degree with the horizontal plane and is abutted in the rectangular groove 2-3 (the supporting legs 7-1 are received in the rectangular groove 2-3, referring to Fig. 3), the connection buckle 2-2 is buckled into the connecting notch 1-2, and the big trolley part 2 and the small trolley part 1 are closely used as the conventional tool trolley, referring to Figs. 1 and 3.

[0028] When the operator needs to use or detect super-long parts, the buckle 2-2 is released, the small roller wheels 1-1 of the small trolley part 1 are pushed out from the positioning groove 2-1 to achieve separation of the big trolley part 2 and the small trolley part 1 (referring to Figs. 9 and 10), and then the connection bracket 7 is rotated to make it form an angle of 90 degree with the inner side surface of the big trolley part 2 to support the connection plate 6. The projection 6-1 is aligned with the connection notch 1-2 of the small trolley part 1, the button 6-2 is pressed to make the bolt enter the connection notch 1-2, and then the big trolley part 2 and the small trolley part 1 are connected and fixed by the connection plate 6 and used as extending state. Referring to Figs. 4 and 6, the operator can directly place the super-long parts on the worktable of the tool trolley for operation.

[0029] Referring to Figs. 9 and 10, when the big trolley part 2 is separated from the small trolley part 1, the big trolley part 2 can be used as an independent tool trolley often in fixed workplace, and the small trolley part 1 as moving tool trolley can be flexibly moved to other working sites for use. After separation, the connection bracket 7 of the big trolley part 2 also can be extended, has an angle of 90 degree with the inner side surface and supports the connection plate 6, the supporting legs 7-1 are rotated to be perpendicular to the connection bracket 7 (rotating from the state in Fig. 14 to the state shown in Fig. 15), and two ends of the sliding block 7-6 in the supporting legs 7-1 are clamped into the clamping slot 7-5 at the bottom of the connection frame 7-8, so that the supporting legs 7-1 cannot continue to rotate around the hinge pin 7-3. The draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2 is pulled to elongate the supporting legs 7-1 and be in contact with the ground for supporting, forming an independent supporting structure of the big trolley part 2 (referring to Fig. 15). When the supporting legs 7-1 are needed to be withdrawn, the sliding block 7-6 is pressed downwards by hand. When the sliding block 7-6 moves downwards along the sliding slot 7-7 and is released from the clamping slot 7-5, the supporting legs 7-1 automatically rotate under the action of the torsional spring 7-4 and are fitted with the connection bracket 7. The projection 7-9 is pressed on the trigger button of the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2, so that the draw bar telescoping mechanism 7-2 can be automatically constricted.

[0030] In addition, when using tools, the corresponding storage racks 3 can be opened according to instructions of the mark stickers 8, and tools are put back correspondingly after use. When some parts are needed to be measured, the to-be-measured parts are directly placed in the scale area 2-4, and length, angle and other data can be measured. When power electric tool is used, plug is plugged into the socket 9 to power the power electric tool, and the socket 9 is connected with the external circuit through the power cord exit 10.
