DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following is a specific embodiment of the present application and further describes the technical solutions of the present application in combination with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0027] Example One

[0028] The present storage cabinet is used as a background cabinet in scenarios such as a vestibule

[0029] The back plate 11 is against the vestibule background wall, and the two side plates 13 are also respectively against the two side walls of the vestibule. The outer side of the load-bearing plate 3 is a decorative surface, and background decorative pieces, lamp pictures, wall hanging ornaments, etc. can be hung thereon. It is required that the hung objects do not interfere with the inner side of the storage plate after being pulled out. The load-bearing plate 3 itself is not used for hanging tools, and the storage belt 4 is used as a tool hanging carrier.

[0030] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the structure of the tool storage cabinet includes a storage cabinet body 1, a floor cabinet body 2 located below the storage cabinet body 1, and a load-bearing plate 3 fixed between the storage cabinet body 1 and the floor cabinet body 2. The storage cabinet body 1 includes a back plate 11, a top plate 12, and two side plates 13. A panel 14 parallel to the back plate 11 is connected between the side plates 13 and the top plate 12. The upper end of the load-bearing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the top plate 12. A U-shaped storage channel is formed between the load-bearing plate 3 and the outer side of the back plate 11, the inner side of the side plate 13, and the inner side of the panel 14. Two storage plates are symmetrically arranged on the load-bearing plate 3. The storage plate includes a guide section 41 and a flexible mounting section 42. A retractable guide rail 5 is arranged between the guide section 41 and the inner side of the load-bearing plate 3. One end of the storage plate away from the guide section 41 is fixedly provided with a sealing plate 6. A hanging rail allowing the sealing plate 6 to translate perpendicular to the load-bearing plate 3 is arranged between the sealing plate 6 and the top plate 12. The outer side of the load-bearing plate 3 is provided with a limiting block 15 flush with the inner end face of the panel 14. The two sealing plates 6 can close the two entrances of the storage channel in a state perpendicular to the load-bearing plate 3.

[0031] The storage plate includes a plurality of storage bands 4 longitudinally arranged. The storage bands 4 on the two storage plates are longitudinally distributed in a staggered manner on the plate surface of the load-bearing plate 3.

[0032] Regarding the storage band 4, in order to realize the deformable flexibility requirement, while meeting the mounting strength and shape retention performance, such as Figure 8 As shown, the storage band 4 includes two rubber coating layers 43 and a shape retention layer located between the two rubber coating layers 43. The shape retention layer includes a plurality of shaping strips 44 arranged in order. The shaping strips 44 are vertically distributed. The cross section of the shaping strip 44 is trapezoidal with the short side located on one side of the load-bearing plate 3.

[0033] The rubber coating layer 43 and the shaping layer are fixedly connected through a plurality of hollow rivets 45. The hollow hole of the rivet is a threaded hole that can be connected to a hook. The position of the hook can be selected according to the size of the mounted tool. Each shaping strip 44 has a plurality of hollow rivets 45. The hollow rivet 45 is a hollow threaded hole structure with a through type. The rivet head does not cover the hollow threaded hole. In turn, the adaptive hook can be connected to the hollow threaded hole.

[0034] A drawer 7 is arranged on the floor cabinet body 2. The upper opening of the drawer 7 is communicated with the channel formed between the load-bearing plate 3 and the back plate 11.

[0035] A permanent magnet is arranged on the sealing plate 6. The two sealing plates 6 can be mutually attracted and positioned. The limiting block 15 is a ferrous block. The two extreme positions of the sealing plate 6 have a certain stability.

[0036] The sealing plate 6 closes the two entrances of the storage channel. When the drawer 7 is closed, such as Figure 3As shown, the entire storage cabinet has a neat, recessed design, concealing tools and maintaining a tidy and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Since some tools may fall into the base cabinet 2 when the tools are stored or when the storage strap 4 is in motion, the drawer 7 on the base cabinet 2 is not fully enclosed. Its inner end is not sealed, meaning the area below the load-bearing plate 3 is open, communicating with the space between the load-bearing plate 3 and the back panel 11. This allows the drawer 7 to catch any fallen items, which can be retrieved after opening it. Simultaneously, the drawer 7 itself can also serve as storage space for loose tools. Figure 2 The state shown is for better explanation of this solution. Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the inner side of load-bearing plate 3. Figure 4 This is the state when the storage board is tucked inside the load-bearing plate 3. Figure 5 This refers to the state when the mounting portion on the storage board is located on the outer side of the load-bearing plate 3. Figure 6 Figures A and B are top views of these two states. Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of a single sealing plate 6 and a single storage plate.

[0037] In order to ensure the smooth operation of the storage belt 4, in addition to setting a guide rail structure adapted to the guide section 41 on the inner side of the load-bearing plate 3 and setting a guide rail adapted to the sealing plate 6 on the top plate 12 on the outer side of the load-bearing plate 3, a roller adapted to the storage plate is also set at the end of the load-bearing plate 3, so that the storage belt 4 will not cause the objects to fall off due to jamming when moving. Regarding the guide rail adapted to the guide section 41 and the guide rail corresponding to the sealing plate 6, there are various styles and choices in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] As an adaptation feature, handles are provided on both the cover plate 6 and the drawer 7, and the load-bearing plate 3 and the base cabinet 2 must have a high connection strength.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] As the maximum storage space, the outer side of the load-bearing plate 3 can also be used as a hanging surface. The content of this embodiment is generally the same as that of embodiment one, except that: during the movement of the sealing plate 6, there is a gap between it and the outer side of the load-bearing plate 3. Within this gap range, the load-bearing plate 3 can be used to hang objects or tools smaller than this gap, so that it can also be used as a tool storage surface.

[0041] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of the invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
