[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, specific embodiments will be used to further illustrate the technical solutions for achieving the objectives of this invention. It should be noted that the technical solutions claimed by this invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without inventive effort should fall within the scope of protection of this invention. Example 1 This embodiment discloses a tool partitioning management storage device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the tool partition management storage device after disassembly. Please refer to the attached instruction manual. Figure 1 The tool partitioning management and storage device includes a base 1 and a cylindrical body disposed on the base 1. The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a mounting base 2. The cylindrical body has an open structure at both the top and bottom. The cylindrical body covers the mounting base 2, forming a storage area with the upper surface of the mounting base 2. Multiple partitioned storage mechanisms 5 for storing tools are disposed within this storage area. The partitioned storage mechanisms 5 are movably disposed on the mounting base 2 of the base 1. The cylindrical body has channels through which the partitioned storage mechanisms 5 can freely enter and exit the storage area to retrieve and place tools. A cylindrical cover 601 is provided on the top opening of the cylindrical body. The tool partitioning mechanism 5 includes a storage box 505 movably disposed on the mounting base plate 2. The storage box 505 can freely enter and exit the storage area from the channel on the cylinder to retrieve and place tools. The cap 601 is a cylindrical cap that is open at the top and closed at the bottom. The cap 601 itself has a cylindrical cavity. A partition plate 602 is arranged radially inside the cylindrical cavity, dividing the internal space of the cylindrical cavity into a first storage space and a second storage space. The internal structures of the two storage spaces are the same and both are used to store knives. Rubber blocks 607 are respectively provided on the two sides of the partition plate 602, the first storage space, and the cylindrical wall and bottom of the cap 601. Furthermore, a first cover plate 13 for closing the upper opening of the first storage space and a second cover plate 16 for closing the upper opening of the second storage space are hinged to the partition plate 602. Both cover plates are provided with handles for easy operation.
[0025] The cap 601 is fitted over the top of the cylinder to seal the opening above the cylinder, thereby sealing the storage area. Specifically, when the cap 601 is fitted over the cylinder, the cylindrical body of the cap 601 is inserted into the cylinder, and then the flange at the top of the cap 601 is fixedly connected to the cylinder by bolts.
[0026] It is understood that the cylinder body and the cylinder cover 601 can be regarded as two cylindrical structures, wherein the cylindrical size of the cylinder cover 601 is smaller than the cylindrical size of the cylinder body, and the length of the cylindrical body portion of the cylinder cover 601 is much smaller than the length of the cylindrical body portion of the cylinder body. In this way, the cylindrical body portion of the cylinder cover 601 is inserted into the cylindrical body portion of the cylinder body, and the flange at the top of the cylinder cover 601 is detachably connected to the flange at the top of the cylinder body by bolts, thereby achieving the effect of sealing the opening at the top of the cylinder body.
[0027] In the embodiments described in this invention, the tool partitioning management and storage device has at least two tool storage spaces. One is a storage area formed by the mounting base 2 and the cylinder, and the other is a storage area formed by the cylindrical cavity of the cylindrical cover itself. For the storage area formed by the mounting base 2 and the cylinder, multiple storage boxes 505 are movably disposed within the area. Each storage box 505 can freely enter and exit the storage area through a channel on the cylinder to retrieve and store tools. Specifically, when a storage box 505 is removed from the storage area through the channel, the operator can retrieve a tool from the storage box 505 or place a used tool inside the storage box 505. After the removed storage box 505 is placed into the storage area through the channel and fixed, tool storage is achieved. Each storage box 505 can be individually removed from the storage area to retrieve a tool.
[0028] To ensure the airtightness of the tool storage space, the passageway of storage box 505 has a sealing mechanism for both closing and opening the passage. Storage box 505 is in a sealed environment, which effectively isolates external moisture and prevents the tools from rusting due to dampness, especially for tools with high precision or special materials. At the same time, the sealed environment also prevents dust and impurities from entering the storage box, keeping the tool surface clean and reducing the need for cleaning before subsequent use. Furthermore, the reduced contact between the tools and outside air in the sealed state also reduces the possibility of oxidation, maintaining the stability of the tool's performance.
[0029] For the storage area formed by the cylindrical cavity of the cap itself, the tools can be stored separately by opening the cover plate above the corresponding storage space.
[0030] To achieve rational and systematic management of cutting tools, a storage box 505 can hold cutting tools of the same category, model, or specification. Labels can be affixed to the storage box 505 as prompts and guides to facilitate the retrieval and storage of tools by operators. Furthermore, storage boxes 505 of different sizes and shapes can be designed according to actual needs to store cutting tools of different sizes, specifications, or types.
[0031] Similarly, the two storage spaces on the cover 601 should also allow for the storage of knives of the same type, model, or specification within a single space to ensure proper knife management. Furthermore, labels can be affixed to the cover as reminders and guides to facilitate the retrieval and storage of knives by operators.
[0032] In some embodiments, the storage box 505 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base plate 2, and the storage box 505 can be rotated out and into the storage area from the channel on the cylinder to retrieve and place the tool. Specifically, the partitioned storage mechanism 5 further includes a support rod 503, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate 2. The storage box 505 is provided with a rotating bearing 504, which is fitted onto the support rod 503. The storage box 505 can rotate around the support rod 503 so that part of the storage box 505 can be rotated out or into the storage area.
[0033] When the storage box 505 rotates around the support rod 503 and spirals out of the storage area along the channel of the cylinder, the operator can store or retrieve the tools; when the storage box 505 rotates around the support rod 503 and spirals into the storage area along the channel of the cylinder, the tools are stored in separate sections.
[0034] Understandably, to prevent the hard sidewalls of the storage box 505 from colliding with and damaging the blades, EPP foam boards are provided on the sidewalls and bottom plate of the storage box, and the blades are fixed to the EPP foam boards on the bottom plate during storage. Furthermore, rubber blocks 607 or EPP foam boards are provided on the two sides of the partition plate 602 located in the first and second storage spaces, on the cylinder wall and bottom of the cylinder cover 601, and on the side of the two cover plates facing the storage spaces to protect the blades. These elastic structures provide good protection for the blades while preventing them from shaking. The foam boards have a double-layer structure, with a rubber strip sandwiched between the two layers. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the cylindrical body is provided with multiple openable or closable transparent windows 12, and each storage box 505 is provided with such a transparent window 12 on the cylindrical body. The transparent windows 12 allow for quick and easy viewing of the type or specifications of the knives placed inside the storage boxes, avoiding the need to remove each storage box 505 individually to confirm the location of the required knife. Since the transparent windows 12 can be opened or closed, and the cylindrical body has corresponding openings 11, for retrieving one or two knives (a small number), the transparent windows 12 can be opened to retrieve them from the openings 11 on the cylindrical body, without having to remove and replace the entire storage box 505, resulting in higher efficiency and more convenient operation.
[0035] Furthermore, the cylindrical body includes an upper cylindrical body 301 and a lower cylindrical body 701. The upper cylindrical body 301 is suspended above the mounting base plate 2. The space between the upper cylindrical body 301 and the lower mounting base plate 2 forms the channel for the storage box 505 to enter and exit the storage area. The lower cylindrical body 701 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the upper cylindrical body 301, surrounding the upper cylindrical body 301 inside it, and the lower cylindrical body 701 can rise or fall relative to the upper cylindrical body 301. When the lower cylindrical body 701 descends to contact the upper surface of the mounting base plate 2, the channel is closed; when the lower cylindrical body 701 rises relative to the upper cylindrical body 301, the channel is gradually opened. When the lower edge of the lower cylindrical body 701 rises to be flush with or above the lower edge of the upper cylindrical body 301, the channel is fully opened, allowing the storage box 505 to be taken out of the storage area to retrieve the knife inside.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the lower cylinder 701 is typically formed by multiple arc-shaped plates, and each arc-shaped plate has a pneumatic telescopic rod 704 that drives it to slide up and down relative to the upper cylinder 301. The number of arc-shaped plates is usually matched with the number of storage boxes 505 that can be placed in the storage area. An arc-shaped plate is set at the location of each storage box 505, and the multiple arc-shaped plates eventually enclose to form a complete circular lower cylinder 701.
[0037] It is understood that the upper cylinder 301 is supported on the upper end of the support rod 503 and is fixedly connected to the support rod 503. The inner bottom of each arc-shaped plate is provided with an inner groove 702, and an inner fixing block 703 is provided inside the inner groove 702. The top of the inner fixing block 703 is connected to the movable end of the pneumatic telescopic rod 704. The fixed end of the pneumatic telescopic rod 704 is fixed to the outer wall of the upper cylinder 301 through a connecting bracket 9, and the two are detachably connected by screws.
[0038] Furthermore, in some embodiments, to systematically manage the knives placed in the two storage spaces within the upper cover 601, multiple arc-shaped partitions 603 are respectively provided in the first and second storage spaces. Two adjacent arc-shaped partitions 603 and the inner wall of the cover 601 enclose a storage compartment. The middle partition 602 can also be combined with the arc-shaped partitions 603 on both sides and the inner wall of the cover 601 to form a corresponding storage compartment. Foam boards are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped partitions 603. The arc-shaped partitions 603 divide the storage space within the cover 601 into multiple storage compartments. Each compartment can hold different types of knives. The foam boards on the sides of the arc-shaped partitions 603 and the inner wall of the cover 601 can press down on the stored knives to increase stability. The foam boards are elastic and wear-resistant and will not damage the knives.
[0039] Furthermore, to increase the storage space of the storage device, the base 1 is designed as a hollow box structure, with the cavity used to store the knives. A sealed door 15 for taking out and putting in the knives is provided on the side wall of the base 1. In addition, foam boards are provided on the four side walls of the cavity of the base 1 as well as on the top and bottom plates. The knives are generally stored and fixed on the foam boards of the bottom plate. In summary, the tool partitioning management and storage device proposed in this invention achieves efficient retrieval and placement, classified management, and safety protection, effectively solving the problems of low efficiency, poor protection, and wasted space in traditional storage tools, and has significant practical value.
[0040] Example 2 This embodiment discloses a tool partitioning management and storage device. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that the storage box 505 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 2. The mounting base 2 has a sliding mechanism that allows the storage box 505 to partially slide out of and into the storage area through the channel formed by the gap between the upper cylinder 301 and the base 1. Specifically, the sliding mechanism typically consists of a slide rail mounted on the mounting base 2 and a slider mounted on the bottom of the storage box 505. The slider is slidably mounted on the slide rail. After the lower cylinder 701 moves upward to open the channel, the storage box 505 can move along the slide rail to enter and exit the storage area through the channel, thereby achieving the purpose of retrieving and storing tools.
[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
