Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of storage devices, and particularly to a storage device for measuring instruments. Background Technology
[0002] Engineering surveying instruments are various instruments used for surveying work during the planning, design, construction, and operation management stages of engineering projects. These instruments are used for orientation, distance measurement, angle measurement, height measurement, mapping, and photogrammetry. Commonly used surveying instruments include levels, distance measuring instruments, and theodolites. Storage devices are used to store and store surveying instruments.
[0003] Storage devices in related technologies typically include storage cabinets with multiple horizontally fixed partitions inside for placing measuring instruments. However, the sealing performance of these storage cabinets is poor, allowing moisture from the external environment to enter. If measuring instruments are placed directly inside the cabinet, they are prone to moisture damage, posing a risk of injury. This issue needs improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a measuring instrument storage device that can reduce the risk of measuring instruments getting damp, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the measuring instruments.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solution: a measuring instrument storage device, comprising a storage cabinet and a plurality of partitions horizontally fixed inside the storage cabinet, a plurality of storage boxes being fixedly connected to each partition, the storage boxes being for individual storage of measuring instruments, and each storage box having a lid vertically slidably connected to a lid capable of sealing its top opening;
[0006] When the lid moves upward and abuts against the corresponding partition or the top wall of the storage cabinet, the distance between the lid and the corresponding storage box is greater than the height of the measuring instrument, so that the measuring instrument can be easily removed from the storage box.
[0007] An elastic sealing ring is fixedly connected to the edge of the bottom of the box lid, and a sealing groove is provided on the top of the storage box for the corresponding sealing ring to be inserted.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, measuring instruments are individually stored in a storage box, and the top opening of the storage box is sealed with a lid, providing a relatively sealed storage space for the measuring instruments. At the same time, the cooperation between the sealing ring and the sealing groove improves the sealing effect between the storage box and the lid, reducing the risk of moisture damage to the measuring instruments and thus reducing the risk of damage.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: a receiving plate is horizontally arranged inside the storage box, receiving shafts are horizontally rotatably connected to both sides of the lower surface of the receiving plate, and support shafts are horizontally rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom wall of the storage box, the support shafts are parallel to the receiving shafts, and the distance between the two support shafts is equal to the distance between the two receiving shafts.
[0010] Two receiving frames are arranged in parallel inside the storage box. The top ends of the two receiving frames are fixedly connected to the corresponding receiving shafts, and the bottom ends are fixedly connected to the corresponding support shafts. The storage box is provided with a control component for controlling the rotation of the support shafts so that the receiving plate can be raised and lowered, thereby allowing the measuring instrument to protrude from the top opening of the storage box.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of one of the support shafts is controlled by a control component, and then the two receiving frames can swing synchronously, causing the receiving plate to move vertically, thereby realizing the rising and falling movement of the receiving plate. When the user wants to retrieve the measuring instrument, the receiving plate can be raised by the control component, allowing the measuring instrument to protrude from the top opening of the storage box, thus facilitating the user's quick retrieval of the measuring instrument and improving its practicality.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the control component includes two control shafts that are respectively horizontally rotatably connected to the storage box, the two control shafts are respectively coaxially fixed to the corresponding ends of one of the support shafts, a U-shaped control handle is provided on the outside of the storage box, the two ends of the control handle are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding control shafts, and when the control handle swings downward, the receiving plate can rise.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, pressing the control handle downwards causes the handle to rotate two control shafts. These two control shafts then jointly control the rotation of their respective support shafts, thereby achieving the upward movement of the receiving plate. Similarly, pulling the control handle upwards achieves the downward movement of the receiving plate.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that a limiting ring is fixedly connected to the edge position of the upper surface of the receiving plate.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a limiting ring, the limiting effect on the measuring instrument is improved, the risk of the measuring instrument slipping off the receiving plate is reduced, thereby improving the storage stability of the measuring instrument.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a limiting block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box, and when the receiving plate descends and the measuring instrument enters the storage box, the lower surface of the receiving plate abuts against the upper surface of the limiting block.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the maximum stroke of the receiving plate is limited by the limiting block, so that the receiving plate can provide stable support for the measuring instrument, thereby improving the storage stability of the measuring instrument.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: guide rods are vertically fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the box cover, two guide grooves are provided on the storage box, the two guide rods are vertically slidingly engaged with the corresponding guide grooves, and a driving component for controlling the vertical movement of the guide rods is provided inside the storage box.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the smoothness of the lid's movement is improved through the cooperation of the guide rod and guide groove, so that the lid can be opened and closed quickly.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the driving component includes a driving rack vertically fixed to the bottom of the guide rod, and the inner wall of the storage box is provided with a support groove, and the support groove communicates with the corresponding guide groove;
[0021] The storage box is rotatably connected to a transmission gear set, one of which is fixedly fitted with a drive gear. One side of the transmission gear set meshes with the drive gear, and the other side of the gear is located in the support groove and meshes with the drive rack.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support shaft rotates, the drive gear drives the transmission gear set to rotate, and then the drive rack, driven by the transmission gear set, drives the corresponding guide rod to slide vertically. This design allows the guide rod and the receiving plate to share the same drive source, which improves the linkage between components and the efficiency of resource utilization. Simultaneously, this design allows the receiving plate to rise synchronously during the opening of the cover, facilitating quick access for the measuring instrument.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the box cover is made of iron material, and magnets are fixedly embedded in the top wall of the storage cabinet and the lower surface of the partition, with a plurality of magnets corresponding to a plurality of box covers one by one; when the box cover moves upward and abuts against the corresponding partition or the top wall of the storage cabinet, the magnet and the corresponding box cover form a magnetic attraction fixation.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lid moves upward and abuts against the corresponding partition or the top wall of the storage cabinet, the magnet forms a magnetic attraction with the lid to fix it in place, thereby limiting the lid's position. When the user needs to pick up the measuring instrument, this design frees the user's hands, allowing the user to handle the measuring instrument with both hands, thus improving operational convenience.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a connecting tube is horizontally fixedly connected to the side of each of two adjacent lids that are close to each other; a U-shaped connecting frame is provided between each of the two adjacent lids; and the two ends of the connecting frame can be inserted into the corresponding connecting tubes to realize the connection between the two adjacent lids so that multiple lids can be opened simultaneously.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple box covers can be connected together through the cooperation of connecting pipes and connecting frames. By simply pushing any control handle, multiple box covers can be opened simultaneously, and multiple measuring instruments can be simultaneously extended from their respective storage boxes. This makes it convenient for users to observe the storage status of each measuring instrument and also makes it easier for users to find the measuring instruments, thus improving practicality.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that a push-pull ring is fixedly connected to the connecting frame.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, users can quickly push and pull the connecting frame, thereby improving operational convenience.
[0029] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] 1. Measuring instruments are stored separately in storage boxes, and the top opening of the storage box is sealed with a lid, providing a relatively sealed storage space for the measuring instruments. At the same time, the cooperation between the sealing ring and the sealing groove can improve the sealing effect between the storage box and the lid, reduce the risk of the measuring instruments getting damp, and thus reduce the risk of damage to the measuring instruments.
[0031] 2. When the user wants to retrieve the measuring instrument, the receiving plate can be raised by the control unit, and the measuring instrument can be extended from the top opening of the storage box, which facilitates the user to quickly retrieve the measuring instrument and improves its practicality.
[0032] 3. Through the cooperation of connecting pipes and connecting brackets, multiple box covers can be connected together. By simply pushing any control handle, multiple box covers can be opened simultaneously, and multiple measuring instruments can be simultaneously extended from their respective storage boxes. This makes it convenient for users to observe the storage status of each measuring instrument and also makes it easier for users to find the measuring instruments, thus improving practicality.

[0039] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 A measuring instrument storage device includes a storage cabinet 1, with multiple partitions 2 horizontally fixedly connected inside the storage cabinet 1, and the multiple partitions 2 are arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction. Multiple storage boxes 3 are fixedly connected to each partition 2, and the storage boxes 3 are for individual storage of measuring instruments. Each storage box 3 is vertically slidably connected to a lid 4 that can seal its top opening, thereby providing a relatively sealed storage space for the measuring instruments.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 When the lid 4 moves upward and comes into contact with the top wall of the corresponding partition 2 or storage cabinet 1, the distance between the lid 4 and the corresponding storage box 3 is greater than the height of the measuring instrument, so that the measuring instrument can be easily taken out of the storage box 3.
[0042] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3An elastic sealing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the cover 4, and a sealing groove 6 is provided on the top of the storage box 3 for the corresponding sealing ring 5 to be inserted, so as to improve the sealing effect between the cover 4 and the storage box 3, thereby reducing the risk of the measuring instrument getting wet, and thus reducing the risk of damage to the measuring instrument.
[0043] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 A receiving plate 7 is horizontally arranged inside the storage box 3. Receiving shafts 8 are horizontally rotatably connected to both sides of the lower surface of the receiving plate 7. Support shafts 9 are horizontally rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom wall of the storage box 3. The support shafts 9 and the receiving shafts 8 are parallel to each other, and the distance between the two support shafts 9 is equal to the distance between the two receiving shafts 8.
[0044] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 Two support frames 10 are arranged in parallel inside the storage box 3. The top ends of the two support frames 10 are fixedly connected to the corresponding support shafts 8, and the bottom ends are fixedly connected to the corresponding support shafts 9, so that the support plate 7, the bottom wall of the storage box 3 and the two support frames 10 form a parallelogram structure.
[0045] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The storage box 3 is equipped with a control component 11 for controlling the rotation of the support shaft 9, so that the receiving plate 7 can be raised and lowered, thereby allowing the measuring instrument to protrude from the top opening of the storage box 3, so as to facilitate the user to take out the measuring instrument.
[0046] Controlling one of the support shafts 9 via the control unit 11 causes the two receiving frames 10 to swing synchronously, resulting in the vertical movement of the receiving plate 7, thus achieving the rising and falling motion of the receiving plate 7. When the user wants to retrieve the measuring instrument, the control unit 11 can be used to control the receiving plate 7 to rise, allowing the measuring instrument to protrude from the top opening of the storage box 3, thereby facilitating quick retrieval of the measuring instrument and improving its practicality.
[0047] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The control component 11 includes two control shafts 111 that are horizontally rotatably connected to the storage box 3, and the two control shafts 111 are coaxially fixed to the corresponding ends of one of the support shafts 9. A U-shaped control handle 112 is provided on the outside of the storage box 3, and the two ends of the control handle 112 are fixedly connected to the corresponding control shafts 111.
[0048] Pressing the control handle 112 downwards causes it to rotate the two control shafts 111. These two control shafts then jointly control the rotation of the corresponding support shaft 9, thereby raising the support plate 7. Similarly, pulling the control handle 112 upwards lowers the support plate 7.
[0049] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 A limiting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the edge of the upper surface of the receiving plate 7 to improve the limiting effect on the measuring instrument, reduce the risk of the measuring instrument slipping off the receiving plate 7, and thus improve the storage stability of the measuring instrument.
[0050] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The inner wall of the storage box 3 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 13. When the receiving plate 7 descends and the measuring instrument enters the storage box 3, the lower surface of the receiving plate 7 abuts against the upper surface of the limiting block 13, so that the receiving plate 7 can provide stable support for the measuring instrument, thereby improving the storage stability of the measuring instrument.
[0051] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 Guide rods 14 are vertically fixed to both sides of the bottom of the lid 4. Two guide grooves 15 are provided on the storage box 3. The two guide rods 14 slide vertically with the corresponding guide grooves 15 to improve the guiding effect on the lid 4. At the same time, a drive component 16 is provided inside the storage box 3 to control the vertical movement of the guide rods 14.
[0052] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The driving component 16 includes a driving rack 161 vertically fixed to the bottom of the guide rod 14. The inner wall of the storage box 3 has a support groove 17, which communicates with the corresponding guide groove 15. A transmission gear set 162 is rotatably connected inside the storage box 3. A driving gear 163 is fixedly sleeved on one of the support shafts 9. The gear on one side of the transmission gear set 162 meshes with the driving gear 163, and the gear on the other side is located in the support groove 17 and meshes with the driving rack 161.
[0053] When the control handle 112 is pressed and the support shaft 9 rotates, the drive gear 163 drives the transmission gear set 162 to rotate, and then the drive rack 161, driven by the transmission gear set 162, drives the corresponding guide rod 14 to slide vertically. This design allows the guide rod 14 and other components such as the receiving plate 7 to share the same drive source, which improves the linkage between components and the efficiency of resource utilization. At the same time, this design allows the receiving plate 7 to rise synchronously when the cover 4 is opened, so as to facilitate the user to quickly take out the measuring instrument.
[0054] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The lid 4 is made of iron. Magnets 18 are fixedly embedded in the top wall of the storage cabinet 1 and the lower surface of the partition 2, with multiple magnets 18 corresponding to multiple lids 4. When the lid 4 moves upward and abuts against the corresponding partition 2 or the top wall of the storage cabinet 1, the magnet 18 and the corresponding lid 4 form a magnetic attraction to fix the lid 4 in place. This design frees the user's hands when they need to retrieve the measuring instrument, allowing them to handle the instrument with both hands and improving operational convenience.
[0055] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 Each of the two adjacent lids 4 is horizontally fixedly connected to a connecting tube 19 on one side closest to each other. A U-shaped connecting bracket 20 is provided between each of the two adjacent lids 4, and both ends of the connecting bracket 20 can be inserted into the corresponding connecting tube 19 to connect the two adjacent lids 4, allowing multiple lids 4 to be opened simultaneously. Simultaneously, a push-pull ring 21 is fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 20 to facilitate quick pushing and pulling operations by the user.
[0056] The connection tube 19 and the connecting bracket 20 work together to connect multiple cover 4 together. By simply pushing any one of the control handles 112, multiple cover 4 can be opened at the same time, and multiple measuring instruments can be protruded from their respective storage boxes 3 at the same time. This makes it convenient for users to observe the storage status of each measuring instrument and also makes it easier for users to find the measuring instruments, thus improving practicality.
[0057] The specific embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to these embodiments without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
