A storage rack 2 is installed vertically and rotatably inside the management box 1, and the central axis 23 of the storage rack 2 is connected to the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism can be connected to the central axis 23 in the form of an asynchronous motor driving a gear set, and the method in which the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the gear set is a prior art and will not be repeated here. The storage rack 2 is divided into a multi-layer structure by a support plate 21 in the vertical direction, and each layer of the storage rack 2 is divided into a plurality of storage chambers 20 by a partition. The partition is arranged radially with the central axis 23 of the storage rack 2 as the center. A storage box 3 is placed in each storage chamber 20, and the storage box 3 is a fan-shaped setting matched with the storage chamber 20. By dividing the rotatable storage into multiple layers, each layer is divided into a plurality of storage chambers 20, which can make full use of the storage space of the storage rack 2, and the storage of tools is more convenient and quick.

[0022] A placement groove 211 is downwardly opened on the support plate 21 at the bottom of the storage cavity 20. The bottom of the storage box 3 is clamped in the placement groove 211, which can effectively limit the storage box 3 and prevent it from falling from the storage rack 2 when the storage rack 2 rotates, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0023] The front end of the box body 1 is protruding outwards and provided with a lifting and conveying chamber 12, and a lifting mechanism is provided in the lifting and conveying chamber 12. A grasping mechanism 5 is installed on the lifting platform 7 of the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism can use an electric cylinder structure to drive the lifting platform 7 to move up and down. The grasping mechanism 5 includes a side plate 51, a moving block 55, a movable rod 54 and an electromagnetic suction head 542. The side plate 51 is vertically fixed on one side of the lifting platform 7, and a slide groove 511 is horizontally opened on the inner side of the side plate 51. The moving block 55 is slidably clamped in the slide groove 511. The side plate 51 is provided with an inverted U-shaped first clamping groove 510, and the moving block 55 is provided with an inverted V-shaped second clamping groove 550. The movable rod 54 arranged vertically on the inner side of the moving block 55 is movable and penetrates the second clamping groove 550 and is slidably clamped in the first clamping groove 510. The end of the movable block away from the moving block 55 is vertically fixedly connected to a vertical rod 541 downward, and the electromagnetic suction head 542 and a card reader (not shown in the figure) are installed at the lower end of the vertical rod 541.

The swing motor 61 is installed on one side of the side plate 51, one end of the swing rod 62 is vertically fixed to the output shaft of the swing motor 61, the other end of the swing rod 62 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 63, and the other end of the connecting rod 63 is hinged to one side of the moving block 55. The swing motor 61 drives the swing rod 62 to rotate a certain angle, so that the connecting rod 63 can push the moving block 55 forward to slide in the slide groove 511. The movable rod 54 will be pushed upward along the vertical part on one side of the first slot 510 under the upward inclined end of the second slot 550, and then move forward along the horizontal part of the first slot 510 after being at the top of the second slot 550. After that, it is limited by the downward inclined end of the second slot 550 and moves downward along the vertical part on the other side of the first slot 510, so that the vertical rod 541 moves up with the electromagnetic suction head 542 and the card reader first, and then moves downward after translation, so that the electromagnetic suction head 542 grabs the storage box 3 and places it on the lifting platform 7.

[0025] A fixed block 4 is fixedly provided on the outside of the storage box 3, and an iron block 41 is provided on the fixed block 4 to cooperate with the electromagnetic suction head 542. After the electromagnetic suction head 542 is energized, it is attracted to the iron block 41, thereby effectively grabbing and lifting the entire storage box 3. An electronic tag 42 for storing tool information is also provided on the fixed block 4, and a card reader for reading and writing information on the electronic tag 42 is also installed at the end of the vertical rod 541. By reading and writing information on the electronic tag 42 by the card reader, effective recording and identification of the types of tools placed in the storage box 3 can be achieved, thereby significantly improving the management efficiency of tools.

[0026] A sliding plate 71 is horizontally slidably installed on the lifting platform 7, and the sliding plate 71 is connected to a horizontal conveying mechanism 72 on the lifting platform. The horizontal conveying mechanism 72 can adopt an electric cylinder structure horizontally installed on the lifting platform 7, and the piston cylinder of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 71. A limit block 711 matching the storage box 3 is provided on the sliding plate 71. The limit block 711 is an arc-shaped design matching the arc surface of the side wall of the storage box 3, which can limit the placement position of the storage box 3, and is more conducive to the alignment and grabbing of the electromagnetic suction head 542.

[0027] A storage and access opening 12 is provided on the side wall of the lifting chamber, and the sliding plate 71 can extend outward through the storage and access opening 12, making it more convenient for users to take and store tools.
