Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of industrial processing technology, and in particular to an operating table. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial sectors such as home appliance manufacturing and automotive parts production, the processing flow of workpieces typically involves the coordinated operation of multiple processes. Taking the production of air conditioner injection molded parts as an example, after the workpiece comes off the injection molding machine, it needs to go through steps such as handling, positioning, initial inspection, desprue removal, trimming, and screw installation. The traditional operating table, as the core working platform, directly affects production efficiency.

[0003] However, existing worktables generally lack modular expansion capabilities, resulting in poor tool compatibility and an inability to flexibly adapt to the processing needs of different workpieces. Moreover, the processing requires frequent manual cleaning of waste materials on the worktable, which is not conducive to continuous operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an operating table that can integrate multiple tools to meet the processing needs of different workpieces. Moreover, it can automatically collect waste materials, reduce the frequency of table cleaning, and improve the smoothness of operation in continuous operation scenarios.

[0005] This application provides an operating table, including: a workbench with a workstation for positioning and processing workpieces, the workstation having a material unloading channel; a shelf located below the workbench for holding a collection container for collecting waste material falling from the material unloading channel; and a tool rack located above the workbench for taking and placing tools.

[0006] The operating table in this embodiment integrates the workstation and unloading channel into the workbench, and arranges the shelving, workbench, and tool rack in upper and lower layers. This creates a spatially independent yet coordinated operational relationship between workpiece positioning and processing, waste material collection, and tool retrieval. Interference between tools, workpieces, and waste is reduced, and the operator's movement path during tool retrieval and processing is more fluid. This helps improve workstation utilization efficiency, reduce the risk of accidental retrieval and contamination, and improve operational smoothness in continuous operation scenarios. Furthermore, it facilitates the integration of multiple tools to meet the processing needs of different workpieces.

[0007] Because the material unloading channel is positioned corresponding to the work station, it guides the waste material downwards, suppressing its accumulation and scattering near the work surface, thus maintaining the cleanliness of the work area and eliminating the need for manual cleaning by the operator. Furthermore, the shelving provides stable support for the collection container and reserves space for loading and unloading, making container replacement more convenient and reducing downtime for maintenance.

[0008] In some embodiments, the feeding channel has a first channel opening located on the upper surface of the workbench and a second channel opening located on the lower surface of the workbench; the cross-sectional area of ​​the feeding channel gradually decreases from the first channel opening to the second channel opening.

[0009] In some embodiments, the feeding channel has two first channel walls opposite each other along a first direction, and the two first channel walls extend obliquely toward each other relative to the upper surface of the worktable in a direction from the first channel opening to the second channel opening.

[0010] In some embodiments, the work station is provided with a support for supporting the workpiece so as to lift the workpiece off the upper surface of the worktable.

[0011] In some embodiments, the support is slidable relative to the worktable along a first direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, there are multiple workstations, which are spaced apart along a second direction.

[0016] In some embodiments, the mounting component includes: a movable component movably disposed within the slide rail; a suspension rope disposed within the movable component; and a suspension member connected to the suspension rope, the suspension member having a hook for suspending working tools.

[0017] In some embodiments, the workbench is further provided with a pick-and-place rack for placing retractable work tools.

[0018] In some embodiments, the operating table further includes: a lamp holder disposed on the top of the stand; and an illumination element disposed on the lamp holder.

[0036] The accompanying drawings have illustrated specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0037] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0038] In industrial sectors such as home appliance manufacturing and automotive parts production, the processing flow of workpieces can involve the collaborative operation of multiple processes. Taking the production of air conditioner injection molded parts as an example, after the workpiece comes off the injection molding machine, it needs to undergo steps such as handling, positioning, initial inspection, desprue removal, trimming, and screw installation. The traditional workbench, as the core working platform, directly affects production efficiency. However, existing workbench generally adopts a fixed structure, which is difficult to adapt to the processing needs of different types and sizes of workpieces. Moreover, frequent manual handling of workpieces between processes is required, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency. The modular expansion capability of the workbench is insufficient, leading to poor tool compatibility and an inability to flexibly adapt to the processing flow of different workpieces.

[0039] In view of this, this application provides an operating table that integrates the workstation and unloading channel into the workbench, and arranges the shelving, workbench, and tool rack in upper and lower layers. This allows workpiece positioning and processing, waste material collection, and tool retrieval to form a relatively independent yet coordinated operational relationship in space. The mutual interference between tools, workpieces, and waste is reduced, and the operator's movement path during tool retrieval and processing is more coherent. This helps improve workstation utilization efficiency, reduce the risk of accidental retrieval and contamination, and improve operational smoothness in continuous operation scenarios.

[0040] Because the material unloading channel is positioned corresponding to the work station, it guides the waste material downwards, suppressing its accumulation and scattering near the work surface, thus maintaining the cleanliness of the work area and eliminating the need for manual cleaning by the operator. Furthermore, the shelving provides stable support for the collection container and reserves space for loading and unloading, making container replacement more convenient and reducing downtime for maintenance.

[0041] The following is combined Figures 1-4 The operation console 100 of this application embodiment is described.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The workbench 100 in this embodiment may include: a workbench 1, a shelf 2, and a tool rack 3. The shelf 2, workbench 1, and tool rack 3 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top.

[0043] The workbench 1 can be used to support workpieces and provide a working reference surface. It can also provide overall support for workpiece positioning, processing and waste removal. Together with the lower shelf 2 and the upper tool rack 3, it forms the main frame of the workbench 100.

[0044] In the vertical direction, the workbench 1 is located on the operating table 100, and its upper surface forms a working plane. The working position is set on the working plane, and the unloading channel 110 runs through the upper and lower surfaces of the workbench 1 so that the waste generated during the processing can be discharged from top to bottom.

[0045] For example, the worktable 1 can be a plate-like structure, a frame-like structure, or a combination of a tabletop and a supporting frame; the worktable 1 can be made of metal, plastic, or composite materials. The length and width of the worktable 1 can be determined according to the number of processing stations and the size of the workpiece.

[0046] The work station is a local functional area on the worktable 1 used for positioning and machining workpieces. It defines the machining position of the workpiece and can also be used to form machining interfaces. The work station is located on the upper surface of the worktable 1.

[0047] The discharge channel 110 is used to guide the waste generated during the operation from above to below the workbench 1, so as to realize the gravity fall and centralized discharge of the waste. The discharge channel 110 is opened in the corresponding area of ​​the work position. The cross-section of the discharge channel 110 can be circular, rectangular, elliptical or irregularly shaped opening. The edge of the opening can be chamfered, rounded or anti-scratching edge, and it connects the upper surface and lower surface of the workbench 1, and corresponds to the collection container on the lower shelf 2.

[0048] Optionally, the feeding channel 110 can be a straight cylindrical channel, a tapered converging channel, or a curved guiding channel, and the channel wall of the feeding channel 110 can be made of metal, plastic, etc. For example, stainless steel liners, nylon guide tubes, or ceramic wear-resistant liners can also be used as the feeding channel 110.

[0049] The shelf 2 is a supporting structure located under the workbench 1, used to place the collection container. It provides a support platform for waste collection and facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the collection container. The shelf 2 can be a frame type, tray type, or drawer type structure. The shelf 2 can be a welded part, an assembled part, or a one-piece molded part. The shelf 2 can be made of metal or other materials. The collection container is a storage device used to collect waste falling from the discharge channel 110. It is used to centrally store waste and facilitate cleaning. The collection container is placed on the shelf 2 and located below the discharge channel 110. The collection container can be a barrel-shaped, box-shaped, drawer-shaped, or bag-shaped container. The material of the collection container can be plastic, thin metal sheet, or flexible fabric. For example, transparent plastic boxes, metal trash cans, or foldable cloth bags can also be used.

[0050] Tool rack 3 is located on the upper side of workbench 1 and is used to pick up and put away working tools. Tool rack 3 makes it easy to pick up tools nearby and hang or place them in an orderly manner. Tool rack 3 can be connected to one side or the back of workbench 1 and form an upper and lower spatial division with the work station.

[0051] The tool rack 3 can be a pole type, beam type, frame type or cantilever type structure. The material of the tool rack 3 can be metal profile, plastic bracket or wooden support. The height of the tool rack 3 is matched to the height that is convenient for people to stand up and take it out.

[0052] During the workpiece processing, the workpiece is first placed at the workstation on the workbench 1. The workstation positions and supports the workpiece. The operator uses the tool rack 3 to access the necessary tools to process the workpiece. The resulting debris, scraps, or powder are guided downwards by gravity through the corresponding discharge channel 110 and finally fall into the collection container on the shelf 2 located below the workbench 1 for centralized collection. When the collection container reaches the predetermined loading state, it can be directly removed, replaced, or emptied from the shelf 2 without requiring extensive cleaning of the workstation.

[0053] The operating table 100 in this embodiment integrates the workstation and the unloading channel 110 into the workbench 1, and arranges the shelf 2, workbench 1, and tool rack 3 in upper and lower layers. This allows the workpiece positioning and processing, waste material collection, and tool retrieval to form a relatively independent yet coordinated operational relationship in space. The mutual interference between tools, workpieces, and waste materials is reduced, and the operator's action path when retrieving and placing tools and performing processing is more coherent. This helps to improve workstation utilization efficiency, reduce the risk of accidental retrieval and contamination, and improve the smoothness of operation in continuous operation scenarios.

[0054] Because the material discharge channel 110 is set up to correspond with the work station, it can guide the waste material to fall, suppressing the accumulation and scattering of waste material near the work surface, maintaining the cleanliness of the work area, and saving operators the trouble of manual cleaning. In addition, the shelf 2 provides stable support for the collection container and reserves space for loading and unloading, making the container replacement process more convenient and reducing downtime for maintenance.

[0055] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The material discharge channel 110 has a first channel opening 1101 and a second channel opening 1102. The first channel opening 1101 is located on the upper surface of the workbench 1, and the second channel opening 1102 is located on the lower surface of the workbench 1. The first channel opening 1101 is located on the upper surface of the workbench 1 and communicates with the work station, allowing waste material to enter the channel through the opening under the action of gravity. The second channel opening 1102 is located on the lower surface of the workbench 1 and is correspondingly set with the collection container on the shelf 2, so that waste material can fall directly into the collection container from the lower end of the channel.

[0056] From the first channel opening 1101 to the second channel opening 1102, the cross-sectional area of ​​the feeding channel 110 gradually decreases. This causes the feeding channel 110 to gradually narrow along the direction of waste falling, thereby guiding the waste to concentrate downwards during the falling process, reducing the probability of waste adhering to or accumulating on the inner wall of the channel or scattering at the outlet, and reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.

[0057] Optionally, the first channel opening 1101 can be flush with or slightly lower than the upper surface of the worktable 1 to receive processing waste without affecting the workpiece positioning. The second channel opening 1102 can be set as the discharge end directly opposite the upper opening of the collection container. Optionally, the discharge channel 110 can adopt a conical, pyramidal, tapered, or stepped constriction structure.

[0058] In addition, to reduce wear, a wear-resistant layer can be provided on the inner wall of the feeding channel 110. The wear-resistant layer can be stainless steel, aluminum alloy, engineering plastic or composite wear-resistant lining.

[0059] The diameter or side length of the first channel opening 1101 can be set according to the effective opening of the working position and the particle size of the waste. The size of the second channel opening 1102 can be matched with the receiving range of the collection container to ensure that the waste can be stably discharged into the container. In some embodiments, the area ratio of the first channel opening 1101 to the second channel opening 1102 is greater than 1.1, and the length of the discharge channel 110 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the workbench 1, the type of waste, and the discharge speed.

[0060] It is understood that the above examples are for demonstration purposes only and not as limitations. Without departing from the concept of this application, the specific shape, material and size ratio of the feeding channel 110 can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions.

[0061] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 3 The feeding channel 110 has two first channel walls 111, and the two first channel walls 111 are along a first direction (e.g., Figure 1 The X direction in the middle is opposite, and the direction from the first channel opening 1101 to the second channel opening 1102 (that is, the direction from top to bottom, such as...) Figure 1 In the Z direction, the two first channel walls 111 extend at an angle toward each other relative to the upper surface of the worktable 1. In this way, the two first channel walls 111 can cause the debris, scraps or powder entering the feeding channel 110 from the first channel opening 1101 to move downward along a predetermined path and gradually converge to the second channel opening 1102 under the action of gravity, so as to reduce the possibility of waste staying, accumulating or scattering laterally near the inner wall of the channel.

[0062] Optionally, the two first channel walls 111 can be integrally formed and connected to the worktable 1; or they can be fixed inside the worktable 1 as independent components by welding, screwing, snapping or embedding.

[0063] Optionally, the material of the two first channel walls 111 can be a bent metal plate, an injection-molded plastic part, or a composite plate with a wear-resistant coating. In some embodiments, a wear-resistant layer or an anti-adhesion coating can also be provided on the surface of the first channel walls 111 to adapt to the flow requirements of waste with different particle sizes and shapes.

[0064] In addition, from the first channel opening 1101 to the second channel opening 1102, the two first channel walls 111 extend at an angle toward each other relative to the upper surface of the workbench 1, so that the unloading channel 110 has a gradually narrowing structure in the unloading direction perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the upper surface of the workbench 1, with a larger opening at the upper end and a smaller outlet at the lower end, so that the waste material can gradually converge toward the center of the channel and fall faster under the constraint of the two side walls after entering the channel.

[0065] Optionally, the first channel wall 111 can be a straight inclined wall, an arc-shaped wall, a segmented broken-line wall, or a tapered wall with guide ribs. The two first channel walls 111 can be arranged approximately symmetrically to keep the falling path centered, or they can be slightly asymmetrically tapered depending on the workstation layout to avoid internal supports or installation space.

[0066] It should be understood that the above examples are merely illustrative and not limiting. Without departing from the concept of this application, the specific shape, installation method, material selection, and tilt angle of the first channel wall 111 can be adjusted accordingly based on the actual usage environment.

[0067] Based on the foregoing embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the work station may be equipped with a support 15, which is used to support the workpiece so as to lift the workpiece off the upper surface of the worktable 1. In this way, the support 15 can provide the necessary clearance for bottom machining of the workpiece, bottom surface clearance, chip removal or ventilation, so that the workpiece in the work area remains stable and facilitates subsequent operations.

[0068] In some embodiments, the support 15 may be installed at the center, edge or multiple predetermined support points of the work station, and may be fixedly engaged with the worktable 1 by means of screw connection, snap-fit, welding, bonding or detachable positioning structure to ensure that it does not shift under load.

[0069] For example, the support 15 can be a column support 15, a block support 15, a strip support 15, an adjustable top support, or a support with a rolling contact surface. The material of the support 15 can be selected from metal, rubber, plastic, or composite materials according to the load-bearing requirements. Specifically, the metal support 15 can be made of steel or aluminum alloy to improve strength, the rubber or rubber-coated support 15 can be used for cushioning and anti-slip, the plastic support 15 is easy to reduce weight and prevent corrosion, and the composite material support 15 can take into account both rigidity and wear resistance.

[0070] When multiple supports 15 are used, the spacing between each support 15 can be arranged according to the workpiece size, center of gravity position and force distribution to prevent the workpiece from tilting, warping or shaking.

[0071] In addition to the above-mentioned method of positioning the workpiece by setting the support 15, the support 15 can also be replaced by a vacuum adsorption support, magnetic support, clamping support or roller 7 support, etc., as long as it can support the workpiece and remove the workpiece from the upper surface of the worktable 1.

[0072] During the operation, the workpiece is first placed on the support 15 in the work position. The support 15 lifts the workpiece to a predetermined height by the upward supporting force, so that a stable gap is formed between the bottom surface of the workpiece and the upper surface of the worktable 1. The operator can then use the tool, fixture or other working tools in this gap to process the bottom or side of the workpiece, while avoiding direct contact between the workpiece and the table surface to prevent friction and obstruction.

[0073] Moreover, since the workpiece is separated from the upper surface of the worktable 1, it is not only conducive to the cleaning and maintenance of the processing area, but also to improving the smoothness of waste falling and the accessibility of workpiece processing. Thus, the coordination between workpiece positioning, support, chip removal and collection can be achieved in a limited space, thereby improving the continuity of the overall use of the worktable 100 and the work efficiency.

[0074] Furthermore, the support 15 is slidable relative to the worktable 1 along a first direction (such as the length direction of the worktable 1). For example, the support 15 can be translated and adjusted along a preset first direction on the surface of the worktable 1 or on a guide structure that cooperates with the worktable 1, so as to change the support position of the support 15 in the working position, thereby providing a stable support foundation for the positioning, clamping, flipping or partial processing of the workpiece, and can be quickly adjusted in position according to the length, width, fulcrum distribution or processing position requirements of different workpieces.

[0075] Optionally, the worktable 1 may be provided with a sliding guide structure extending along the first direction. The sliding guide structure may be a sliding track, a groove, a guide bar, or a rolling pair, etc., and the bottom of the support 15 and the sliding guide structure form a reciprocating movable fit relationship. In addition, locking parts, clamping parts, or self-locking mechanisms may be provided to fix the support 15 after adjustment to prevent displacement during processing.

[0076] Alternatively, the support 15 may be implemented using a slider structure, a sliding block structure, a roller structure, or a guide rail structure.

[0077] Alternatively, the support 15 may also be made of engineering plastics, aluminum alloys, steel or composite materials to balance strength, wear resistance and ease of assembly.

[0078] For example, the support 15 and the guide structure can be fitted with a clearance fit or a slight interference fit, which can ensure smooth sliding in the first direction and prevent the support 15 from loosening under the limiting condition.

[0079] Thus, by making the support 15 slidable along the first direction, the workpiece support point can be quickly reset according to the actual operation needs, thereby improving the adaptability of the workpiece in the work position and reducing clamping difficulties or positioning deviations caused by a single fixed support position; at the same time, the sliding adjustment method makes it easy for the operator to complete the support configuration of different workpieces without changing parts, thereby improving the versatility and continuous operation efficiency of the operating table 100.

[0080] Further, refer to Figures 1-3 There can be multiple workstations, which are spaced apart along a second direction, which can be the width direction of worktable 1 (e.g., ...). Figure 1The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction (Y direction in the diagram). By setting multiple workstations, two or more independent processing areas can be provided on the same worktable 1. Each workstation can be used for positioning, supporting and processing workpieces, so that different workpieces can be processed separately on the same machine, or different processes of the same workpiece can be completed sequentially at different workstations.

[0081] Multiple workstations are spaced apart along the second direction, facilitating the formation of independent yet collaborative workstation layouts. This allows for the parallel arrangement of multiple workstations within a limited workspace, making it suitable for scenarios involving continuous processing, multi-stage processing, or collaborative work by multiple operators.

[0082] The spacing between multiple workstations can meet the requirements for workpiece outline, fixture extension, and operator hand operating space. For ease of manufacturing and assembly, multiple workstations can be integrally formed on worktable 1, or they can be installed on the surface of worktable 1 through modular splicing parts.

[0083] During operation, operators can place workpieces, semi-finished products, or finished products at different workstations and rotate the use of each workstation according to the process rhythm, thereby reducing the downtime caused by repeated switching of a single workstation. At the same time, the spacing between workstations can provide the necessary space for tool loading and unloading, workpiece transfer, and waste removal, reducing the possibility of workpiece collision, contamination, or misoperation.

[0084] Therefore, the parallel and spaced arrangement of multiple workstations not only helps to improve the load-bearing capacity of the worktable for multiple workpieces and multiple processes, but also enhances the clarity of the work area, so as to maintain a more stable spatial relationship between workpiece positioning, processing operations and waste collection, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency and work continuity.

[0085] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The workbench 1 includes: a first frame 12, a tabletop 13, and a material unloading component 11.

[0086] The first frame 12 is an outer frame structure that encloses and defines the installation space of the tabletop component 13. The first frame 12 can provide installation boundaries, load-bearing support, and overall reinforcement for the tabletop component 13 and the unloading component 11. Optionally, the first frame 12 can adopt a rectangular frame structure, an irregular frame structure, or a partially reinforced side beam structure. The first frame 12 can be made of steel, aluminum profile, or composite material. For example, the first frame 12 can be a square tube welded frame, an aluminum alloy frame, or an injection-molded reinforced frame. Its external dimensions match the outer contour of the tabletop component 13 and a pre-installed assembly gap is reserved to facilitate assembly and subsequent maintenance.

[0087] The tabletop component 13 is a functional panel embedded in the installation space. Its upper surface can form the main working plane of the workbench 1 and provide a carrier for workpiece positioning, support and cooperation with the unloading component 11. The tabletop component 13 is installed in the installation space enclosed by the first frame 12 by embedding.

[0088] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The tabletop component 13 has a first clearance notch 131 adapted to the unloading channel 110, so as to leave space for the unloading component 11 to pass through and guide the waste. The tabletop component 13 can be a whole plate, spliced ​​plate or sandwich panel. The material of the tabletop component 13 can be stainless steel plate, plywood, aluminum honeycomb plate or other materials with certain rigidity and wear resistance. The first clearance notch 131 can be set as a round hole, square hole, long strip opening or irregular groove, and can be provided with edging, bushing or reinforcing ring on its edge according to the load-bearing requirements to reinforce the edge of the tabletop component 13.

[0089] The unloading component 11 is located at the first clearance notch 131 and is at least partially located below the table component 13. The unloading component 11 forms a unloading channel 110. The unloading component 11 can form a continuous material guiding path.

[0090] Optionally, the feeding component 11 can be a funnel, a cylinder, a guide channel, or a split-type guide shell. The feeding component 11 can be a metal part, a plastic part, or a composite material part. The size and shape of the top end of the feeding component 11 can match the first clearance notch 131, the size of the bottom end can be adapted to the inlet of the collection container, and the axial length can be greater than the thickness of the table part 13 to ensure that the waste can stably pass through the feeding channel 110 under the action of gravity.

[0091] Optionally, the edge of the tabletop 13 and the first frame 12 can be assembled by means of screw fastening, snap-fit ​​connection, welding fixation or groove positioning; the periphery of the first clearance notch 131 can be strengthened by folding, reinforcing ribs or lining rings; the blanking part 11 can be fitted with the tabletop 13 or the first frame 12 by means of flange crimping, bolt fixing, welding connection or plug sealing.

[0092] In this embodiment, the tabletop component 13 can be stably embedded within the installation space enclosed by the first frame 12, thereby maintaining the overall rigidity of the workbench 1 while providing a reliable interface for the material unloading component 11 to pass through and support. After the first clearance notch 131 cooperates with the material unloading component 11, an opening area communicating with the material unloading channel 110 can be formed on the tabletop component 13, allowing debris, scraps, or powder generated during operation to directly enter the interior of the material unloading component 11 and be discharged downwards, without lingering on the surface of the tabletop component 13 for a long distance. This reduces the probability of waste accumulating near the tabletop, reduces the frequency of cleaning, and improves the material guiding efficiency and workstation cleanliness during continuous operation.

[0093] In some embodiments, the thickness of the tabletop 13 can be 5mm-30mm to ensure that the tabletop 13 has sufficient strength. The aperture or opening width of the first clearance notch 131 can be configured according to the waste particle size and workpiece size, and the axial length of the feeder 11 can be determined according to the height between the shelf 2 and the tabletop 13 so that its lower end can reliably extend into the top of the collection container.

[0094] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the workbench 1 is also equipped with a material trough 140 for placing materials. For example, the materials can be materials to be processed, semi-finished products, or auxiliary parts that accompany the workpiece, such as screws, nuts, and sealing rings, allowing the operator to conveniently retrieve and place them near the workstation. This concentrates materials within a predetermined area, reducing the space occupied by scattered materials, the risk of falling, and the confusion in retrieval. This creates a relatively independent yet mutually supportive workstation relationship between material storage and retrieval and workpiece processing.

[0095] Optionally, the hopper 140 can be arranged in the adjacent area of ​​the work station, so that the operator can pick up and put back the materials without significantly changing the working posture.

[0096] The material trough 140 can be configured as a rectangular trough, a strip trough, a circular trough, or an irregularly shaped trough. It can also be a metal trough formed by one-piece stamping, a plastic trough 140 formed by injection molding, or a composite storage trough with an inner lining. In some embodiments, the inner wall of the material trough 140 can be provided with anti-slip texture, a buffer pad layer, or a partition structure to adapt to the temporary storage needs of materials of different specifications.

[0097] The tabletop component 13 may be provided with a second clearance notch 132 adapted to the material trough 140. The worktable 1 also includes a material discharge box 14, which is embedded in the second clearance notch 132 and defines the material discharge trough 140. In this way, the setting of the second clearance notch 132 allows the material trough 140 to be partially exposed above the tabletop, and can be partially recessed or flush with the tabletop through the material discharge box 14, thereby improving the overall continuity of the tabletop and avoiding interference from protruding edges to workpiece handling or operator hand movements.

[0098] The second clearance notch 132 can be located on the side of the tabletop 13 near the work station or in the middle of the tabletop 13, and communicate with the installation space below the tabletop 13, so that the material box 14 can be inserted from top to bottom or assembled from bottom to top. For example, the second clearance notch 132 can be a rectangular window, a rounded rectangular window, a circular opening, or an irregularly shaped opening, with its edges forming folded edges, flanges, or reinforcing edges to improve the structural strength around the opening and facilitate positioning. The size of the second clearance notch 132 can be slightly larger than the outer contour of the material box 14 to reserve assembly gaps and disassembly allowances, allowing for appropriate fit tolerances while ensuring stable insertion of the material box 14, thus balancing assembly convenience and positioning stability during use.

[0099] Optionally, the material container 14 is at least partially located below the tabletop 13, or its top opening is flush with the tabletop, to reduce the impact of the tabletop height difference on material movement and gripping. In some embodiments, the material container 14 may be a drawer-type box, a tray-type box, a barrel-type container, or a storage box with a handle. Its material may be transparent plastic, sheet metal, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or composite engineering plastic. A wear-resistant layer, an anti-slip layer, or an easy-to-clean coating may also be provided on the inner wall to adapt to the weight and surface condition of different materials.

[0100] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 The shelf 2 may include a second frame 21 and a shelf rod 22. The second frame 21 is located below the first frame 12 and can be square, circular, oval, or any shape. The second frame 21 and the first frame 12 are connected by uprights 8. Taking a square frame as an example, there can be four uprights 8, located at the four corners of the first frame 12 and the second frame 21. The top of each upright is connected to the first frame 12, and the bottom is connected to the second frame 21.

[0101] There are multiple storage rods 22, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart between two opposite sides of the second frame 21. The collection container is suitable for being placed on the storage rods 22.

[0102] Thus, the shelf 2 can support the collection container well, and the structure of the shelf 2 is relatively simple and easy to manufacture.

[0103] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tool rack 3 may include: a stand 31, a slide rail 32, and a mounting component 33. The stand 31 can be used to support the slide rail 32, so that the slide rail 32 can be arranged at a predetermined height relative to the workbench 1, thereby facilitating the operator to pick up and put down tools on the workbench 1. The stand 31 can be set on the workbench 1.

[0104] The support frame 31 can be located in the edge or middle area of ​​the workbench 1 and connected to the workbench 1 by bolt fastening, welding, or snap-fit ​​installation. Alternatively, it can be integrally formed with the workbench 1 to enhance overall stability.

[0105] The support frame 31 can be a single-column, double-column gantry or frame support frame, and the column 8 can be made of one or more of steel, aluminum alloy, engineering plastics, and wood reinforcement components to meet different load-bearing requirements.

[0106] The slide rail 32 is mounted on the upright frame 31. The slide rail 32 can be fixed to the crossbeam 312 of the upright frame 31 by screws, rivets, welded parts, or an embedded structure. The slide rail 32 extends along a first direction, which can be parallel to the length direction of the worktable 1 or parallel to the width direction of the worktable 1, depending on the layout requirements of the operating space. The slide rail 32 can be a linear guide, a grooved rail, a round rod rail, a composite slide rail, or a guide rail with rollers 7.

[0107] Mounting component 33 is slidably mounted on slide rail 32 and is used to mount working tools. Mounting component 33 can be a slider, slide block, hanger, clamping frame, or tool holder, and can be provided with hanging holes, insertion holes, magnetic bases, grippers, or slots to accommodate the hanging or fixing of commonly used working tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, inspection probes, and clamps. Mounting component 33 can be located within the height range accessible to the operator's arm and its position can be adjusted via slide rail 32. If necessary, it can also be used with locking screws, elastic clips, stop plates, or friction locking mechanisms to fix it in place after reaching the target position, preventing the tool from moving due to external forces during loading and unloading.

[0108] Optionally, limiting portions may be provided at both ends of the slide rail 32 to limit the extreme sliding position of the mounting component 33 and prevent it from detaching from the slide rail 32.

[0109] When performing processing operations using the workbench 100, the upright frame 31 first provides stable support for the slide rail 32 and lifts the tool rack 3 as a whole above the workbench 1. The mounting component 33 can be moved to the corresponding position on the slide rail 32 according to the work habits and current process requirements. The working tools are installed on the mounting component 33 by hooking, clamping, or supporting and are kept in an orderly distribution. During the work process, the operator can directly take the corresponding tools from the top of the workbench 1, and after use, the tools can be returned to the corresponding position on the mounting component 33. The sliding adjustment of the mounting component 33 along the first direction allows tools of different types and usage frequencies to be rearranged according to the workstation layout, thereby reducing mutual obstruction between tools and spatial interference with workpieces and waste materials.

[0110] Since the slide rail 32 is fixed to the upright 31 and forms a layered arrangement with the workbench 1, the tool rack 3 will not occupy the effective processing space near the work position and the unloading channel 110, and it is also easy to keep the table clean and have a clear view. At the same time, the adjustable position of the mounting part 33 allows frequently used tools to be close to the operator's side, while infrequently used tools can be moved to the side area, thereby reducing the ineffective reach distance and improving the efficiency of tool picking and placing.

[0111] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 The upright frame 31 may include two uprights 311 and a crossbeam 312. The two uprights 311 are spaced apart along the length of the workbench 1 on the tabletop 13, and are located at the middle of the tabletop 13 along its width. The two ends of the crossbeam 312 are connected to the two uprights 311 respectively, and the crossbeam 312 is vertically spaced from the tabletop 13. A slide rail 32 may be provided on the crossbeam 312 and extends along its length. In this way, the uprights 311 can provide support and raise the slide rail 32 to a certain height, and the crossbeam 312 can be used to install the slide rail 32. The overall structure is relatively simple and easy to manufacture.

[0112] Further, refer to Figure 2 The mounting component 33 may include: a movable component (not shown), a suspending rope 331, and a suspension component 332.

[0113] The movable part is movably disposed within the slide rail 32, the suspension rope 331 is disposed within the movable part, the suspension part 332 is connected to the suspension rope 331, and the suspension part 332 is provided with a hook for suspending the working tools.

[0114] Optionally, the movable component is a load-bearing part that reciprocates within the diameter of the slide rail 32, providing an adjustable support point for the lifting rope 331 and its lower suspension member 332, thereby allowing the working tool to be positioned according to the operator's stance, tool size, and handling habits. The movable component can be a slider, roller 7, etc., and can be made of POM (Polyoxymethylene) engineering plastic, aluminum alloy, or steel wear-resistant parts. The surface of the movable component can also be coated or lubricated as needed to reduce movement resistance and improve durability.

[0115] Optionally, the suspension rope 331 is a flexible suspension component connected to the movable part and hanging downwards. It can lead the suspension part 332 out from the movable part and form a certain vertical distance, so that the work tool can be easily identified and retrieved after being suspended, while avoiding the tool directly occupying the space near the slide rail 32. One end of the suspension rope 331 can be fixed to the movable part by a hanging ring, rope buckle or detachable connector, and the other end is connected to the suspension part 332 to form a stable force transmission path. The suspension rope 331 can be made of braided nylon rope, stainless steel wire rope, polyester fiber rope or composite rope, or it can be made of webbing, chain or elastic strap to meet the suspension needs of tools of different weight levels. The suspension rope 331 is allowed to swing or stretch slightly during use to absorb the impact generated when hanging tools and reduce the instantaneous tension on the movable part.

[0116] Optionally, the suspension component 332 is located at the end of the suspension rope 331, which can stably suspend the working tool on the tool rack 3. The suspension component 332 can be a hanging plate, hanging ring, hanging seat, clamping suspension or lifting support block. Its shape can be adapted to the handle structure, hanging hole size or outer contour of the suspended tool, so that the tool remains relatively stable under load and is not easy to rotate, wobble or fall off.

[0117] The suspension element 332 can be made of metal, plastic, or composite materials. The hook can be located on the outer edge, lower edge, or side edge of the suspension element 332, extending towards the tool's placement / removal direction. Its form can be a single hook, double hook, arc hook, closed hook opening, or hook body with anti-slip barbs. The hook body surface can also be coated with a rubber layer or anti-slip layer to improve stability when in contact with the tool. The hook's opening size and bending curvature can match the diameter of the tool's hanging hole, handle cross-section, or hanging hole position, allowing the tool to be quickly hooked and automatically positioned under gravity. The hook's load-bearing capacity should meet the weight requirements of a single tool and allow for a safety margin.

[0118] In this embodiment, because the movable part can move within the slide rail 32, the position of the suspension part 332 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual workstation layout, allowing tools required for different processes to be distributed in a more suitable area, improving tool identification efficiency and ease of access. Furthermore, the flexible connection of the suspension rope 331 can absorb minor impacts during the hanging process, reducing the instantaneous load on the slide rail 32 and the movable part. Thus, tools can be orderly suspended within the tool rack 3 on the upper side of the workbench 1, reducing the risks of tool scattering, loss, and accidental retrieval. Simultaneously, it allows operators to easily access the required tools while processing workpieces at the workstation, thereby improving work continuity and reducing spatial interference.

[0119] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 1 and Figure 2 The workbench 1 is also equipped with a pick-and-place rack 4, which is used to place retractable work tools. Thus, the pick-and-place rack 4 allows for temporary storage and quick retrieval of work tools in folded, extended, retracted, or unfolded states. The pick-and-place rack 4 provides a transitional area for retractable work tools during transfer from the tool rack 3 to the work station or back from the work station to the tool rack 3, thereby reducing the disorderly placement of tools on the workbench 100 surface and minimizing interference between tools, workpieces, and waste materials.

[0120] In some embodiments, the pick-and-place rack 4 is arranged on the upper side of the workbench 1 near the operator, or on the side of the work station, so that the operator can place and pick up the tool without significantly changing the path of hand movement.

[0121] Furthermore, the access rack 4 can be staggered vertically or horizontally with the tool rack 3 to functionally differentiate between the hanging storage of frequently used tools and the temporary storage of tools that can be stored away, thus preventing tools in different states from obstructing each other. It should be understood that the above example is for demonstration purposes only and is not a limitation.

[0122] Optionally, the pick-and-place rack 4 can be installed on the workbench 1, side frame, or support beam near the work position by means of screw fixing, welding connection, or integral molding, and maintain a relatively independent spatial relationship with the tool rack 3, work position, and unloading channel 110, so that the temporary parking path of the tool is arranged separately from the workpiece processing path.

[0123] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2The workbench 100 may also include a lamp holder 5 and an illumination element 6. Specifically, the lamp holder 5 is located on top of the support frame 31, and the illumination element 6 is located on the lamp holder 5. This provides a stable lighting arrangement for the work area of ​​the workbench 1, allowing the light source to cover the workstation, workpiece, and the area near the unloading channel 110 from above. The lamp holder 5 can be bolted, welded, or snap-fitted to form an integrated support structure with the support frame 31, and can extend laterally along the top of the support frame 31 or extend over the workstation to create lighting coverage over the workbench area.

[0124] In some embodiments, the lamp holder 5 may also have pre-reserved wiring channels, mounting holes or adjustment holes to facilitate the installation, maintenance and angle adjustment of the lighting components 6.

[0125] The lighting component 6 can be mounted on the lamp holder 5 by screws, clips, rail insertion, or magnetic attachment, and is electrically connected to an external power supply line. The specific form of the lighting component 6 can be a light strip, an array of LED beads, a panel light, a downlight, or a spotlight module.

[0126] In this embodiment, by arranging the lamp holder 5 on top of the stand 31, the illumination direction of the lighting element 6 forms a top-down lighting relationship with the workbench surface. This expands the effective lighting range without occupying the workbench operating space and reduces visual obstruction between the tool rack 3 and the work position. Moreover, the improved lighting conditions help the operator quickly identify the tool outline when picking up and placing tools, accurately judge the work progress when processing or inspecting workpieces, and promptly observe whether there is blockage or accumulation in the material unloading channel 110 when collecting waste. This allows the workbench 100 to form a more coordinated working relationship between workpiece processing, tool use, and waste management, improving overall work continuity and reducing maintenance frequency.

[0127] Furthermore, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 The operating table 100 may also include: rollers 7, which are located at the bottom of the shelf 2 and are used to move the operating table 100. Optionally, depending on the actual usage environment, the rollers 7 may be a single-wheel structure, a double-wheel structure, a swivel wheel structure, a brake wheel structure, or a directional wheel structure.

[0128] Optionally, the operating table 100 may also include a braking mechanism that can brake the rollers 7 after the operating table 100 has been moved into place, so that the operating table 100 can be restored to a stable and fixed state, and avoid accidental displacement during operation, tool handling, or waste collection.

[0129] In this way, by installing the rollers 7 at the bottom of the shelf 2 and directly providing mobile support, the operating table 100 can be moved without disassembling the collection container or affecting the upper working structure. This not only improves the flexibility of equipment layout, but also reduces the labor intensity and collision risk caused by manual handling, and helps maintain the continuity of the workstation layout and the cleanliness of on-site management, thereby improving the applicability and efficiency of the operating table 100.
