For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0028] In one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a handle device 10 is provided, including a mounting base 100 and a handle 200, wherein the mounting base 100 is fixed to a tool cabinet body 20, and the handle 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 100 so that the handle 200 has a first position away from the tool cabinet body 20 and a second position close to the tool cabinet body 20.
[0029] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, by fixing the mounting base 100 to the tool cabinet body 20, the firmness and stability of the installation are ensured, and at the same time, a connection point is provided for the handle 200. The handle 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 100, so that the handle 200 has the characteristic of adjustable position and can be switched between the first position and the second position. Therefore, in the first position, the handle 200 is away from the tool cabinet body 20, providing a larger operating space and convenience for the user. The user can easily use the handle 200 to quickly take or store items, thereby improving work efficiency; in the second position, the handle 200 is close to the tool cabinet body 20, which can effectively save space and avoid the problem of space occupation caused by the protrusion of the handle 200. This design can make the tool cabinet more compact and improve the overall appearance. Whether in a small working space or in an occasion where attention is paid to appearance design, this handle device 10 can effectively adapt to different working environments and needs.
[0030] In actual application, through the rotatability of the handle 200, the user can adjust the position of the handle 200 according to actual needs, which can not only meet the convenience of operation, but also will not take up a lot of space or destroy the aesthetic appearance. It has a wide range of application prospects for various tool cabinets and can better meet the needs of different industries and working environments. In addition, the design of this handle device 10 also takes into account the comfort and convenience of the user. Through the adjustability of the position of the handle 200, the user can freely adjust the position of the handle 200 according to his or her body posture and operating needs, reducing the inconvenience and fatigue during operation. In general, this handle device 10 takes into account functionality and practicality, and takes into account space utilization and beautiful appearance. Its design features make it widely applicable, can meet the needs of different industries, working environments and user groups, and can provide more intelligent and convenient solutions for work scenes. It is expected to be widely used in tool cabinets and provide users with better operating experience and work efficiency.
[0031] Optionally, a first limit member 300 is provided on the tool cabinet body 20, and a second limit member 400 is provided on the handle 200. The first limit member 300 and the second limit member 400 are engaged and clamped to keep the handle 200 in the first position, and the first limit member 300 and the second limit member 400 are uncoupled to allow the handle 200 to rotate and switch between the first position and the second position.
[0032] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, by setting a first stopper 300 on the tool cabinet body 20 and setting a second stopper 400 on the handle 200, the two are engaged with each other so that the handle 200 can be kept in the first position, thereby the handle 200 can be stably fixed in the first position. In this state, the user can easily use the handle 200 to quickly take or store items, and maintain a stable operating state during work; when the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 are released from the engagement, the handle 200 can be rotated and freely switched between the first position and the second position. This switchable design can increase the flexibility of the handle 200, and the user can quickly switch the position of the handle 200 according to actual needs to adapt to different operating scenarios. When the working environment space is small or the handle 200 needs to be folded, switching the handle 200 to the second position can effectively reduce the occupied space and improve the overall appearance. In short, the handle device 10 provides adjustable and fixed functions, which can not only meet the stability requirements during operation, but also take into account flexibility and space utilization, thereby providing users with a more flexible, convenient and intelligent operating experience.
[0033] Optionally, the first position-limiting member 300 is movably connected to the tool cabinet body 20 , and the first position-limiting member 300 is driven to move relative to the tool cabinet body 20 to engage with or release the engagement with the second position-limiting member 400 .
[0034] Specifically, by movably connecting the first position-limiting member 300 with the tool cabinet body 20 , the first position-limiting member 300 can be moved or adjusted in space relative to the tool cabinet body 20 , making it more convenient to adjust the position of the handle 200 . When the handle 200 needs to be maintained in the first position, the first limit member 300 is driven by an external force to move in a direction close to the second limit member 400. At the same time, the handle 200 can also be driven to drive the second limit member 400 to move in a direction close to the first limit member 300. As a result, the two are moved to appropriate positions and engaged with each other, so that the handle 200 is stably maintained in the first position, which is convenient for the user to operate the handle 200. When there is no operation requirement for the handle 200, that is, the handle 200 can be rotated and freely switched between the first position and the second position. At this time, it is only necessary to drive the first limit member 300 to move in a direction away from the second limit member 400 by an external force, and the two can be released from the engagement, so that the handle 200 can be freely rotated. This design provides more convenience and practicality for users in different working scenarios, so that the handle device 10 can better adapt to different working requirements and operating environments.
[0035] Optionally, the handle device 10 also includes an elastic member 500, which is connected to the first limiting member 300. The first limiting member 300 is driven to move in a direction away from the second limiting member 400 and drives the elastic member 500 to deform, so that the elastic member 500 has a tendency to drive the first limiting member 300 toward the second limiting member 400.
[0036] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the elastic member 500 is fixedly connected to the first limit member 300, and the other end is fixedly connected to the tool cabinet body 20. The characteristics of the elastic member 500 are used to realize the movement of the first limit member 300 relative to the tool cabinet body 20: when the first limit member 300 is engaged with the second limit member 400, the elastic member 500 is in a normal state. When the first limit member 300 moves in a direction away from the second limit member 400, the elastic member 500 is deformed and generates a reverse reset force, so that the elastic member 500 has a tendency to drive the first limit member 300 toward the direction of the second limit member 400, ensuring that the handle 200 can automatically or tend to return to a specific position or state under specific conditions, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation, and increasing the intelligence and adaptability of the handle device 10. In this embodiment, the elastic member 500 can be a tension spring, or other structures with similar functions.
[0037] Optionally, the handle device 10 also includes a driving member 600, which is fixedly connected to the first limiting member 300. The first limiting member 300 is slidably connected to the tool cabinet body 20 via the driving member 600, and the driving member 600 is used to drive the first limiting member 300 to move toward or away from the second limiting member 400.
[0038] Specifically, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the driving member 600 is fixedly connected to the first stopper 300, and the driving member 600 is slidably connected to the tool cabinet body 20, that is, the first stopper 300 is slidably connected to the tool cabinet body 20 through the driving member 600, thereby, the first stopper 300 can be driven to move toward or away from the second stopper 400 by sliding the driving member 600 along the tool cabinet body 20, and the user can easily adjust the position or state of the handle 200 by controlling the movement of the driving member 600, so that the handle device 10 has better flexibility and controllability. Among them, the driving member 600 can adopt a variety of driving mechanisms, such as hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or manual drive, etc. Regardless of which driving method is used, its core function is to enable the first stopper 300 to move in the direction of approaching or away from the second stopper 400 through the driving member 600.
[0039] Optionally, the first limiting member 300 is located on the inner wall surface of the tool cabinet body 20 , and the second limiting member 400 passes through the tool cabinet body 20 from the outer wall surface of the tool cabinet body 20 and is engaged with the first limiting member 300 .
[0040] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the first limit member 300 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the tool cabinet body 20. This design ensures the overall compactness and aesthetics of the handle device 10. Since the first limit member 300 is located inside the tool cabinet body 20 and does not protrude from the surface of the tool cabinet, it does not occupy additional space or affect the appearance. The second limit member 400 passes through the outer wall surface of the tool cabinet body 20 and is connected to the internal first limit member 300. This snap-on method can ensure the stability and reliability of the handle device 10, so that the handle 200 can be switched between different positions smoothly and reliably, which not only meets the requirements of practicality and functionality, but also improves the overall appearance of the tool cabinet.
[0041] Optionally, the handle device 10 further includes a hinge 700 , and the handle 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 100 via the hinge 700 .
[0042] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the handle 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 100 through the hinge 700, so that the handle 200 can be freely rotated within a desired range. This design allows the user to freely adjust the position and angle of the handle 200 according to actual needs, thereby improving the adaptability and humanized design of the handle device 10. For example, at different operating angles, the handle 200 can be adjusted to the most suitable position through the action of the hinge 700, making the user more comfortable and at ease during work.
[0043] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the hinge 700 includes a first connector 710 and a second connector 720, which are rotatably connected by a latch. Specifically, the first connector 710 is the basis of the hinge device. It is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 100, providing a stable connection point to ensure that the handle 200 can be firmly connected to the main body of the tool cabinet. The second connector 720 is connected to the first connector 710 by a latch and fixedly connected to the handle 200. The latch is a key element connecting the first connector 710 and the second connector 720. It allows the second connector 720 to rotate around the latch, thereby realizing the rotation connection of the handle 200 and meeting the user's flexible adjustment requirements for the position and angle of the handle 200. Therefore, the latch connection can not only provide a reliable rotation connection mechanism for the handle 200, so that the handle 200 can be freely rotated on the mounting seat 100, but also ensure the reliability and stability of the hinge 700, ensuring the firm connection and reliable operation of the handle 200 at different angles.
[0044] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 100 is recessed in the outer wall of the tool cabinet body 20, the first connecting member 710 is fixedly attached to the outer wall of the mounting base 100, and the side of the first connecting member 710 away from the mounting base 100 is flush with the outer wall of the tool cabinet. Thus, the second connecting member 720 can be rotated to be flush with the outer wall of the tool cabinet to maximize the rotation angle of the handle 200 relative to the mounting base 100.
[0045] Optionally, the rotation angle of the handle 200 relative to the mounting base 100 is less than or equal to 180°, ensuring that the handle 200 can be rotated within a required range without exceeding a reasonable range of use, helping to avoid operating inconvenience, instability or unnecessary risks caused by excessive rotation of the handle 200.
[0046] Optionally, a limit seat 800 is provided on the inner wall surface of the tool cabinet body 20 , and the limit seat 800 is used to limit the displacement of the first limit member 300 along the thickness direction of the tool cabinet body 20 .
[0047] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the limit seat 800, as a part of the handle device 10, is arranged on the inner wall surface of the tool cabinet body 20, and can limit the displacement of the first limit member 300 along the thickness direction of the tool cabinet body 20, and can also limit the displacement of the first limit member 300 along the height direction of the tool cabinet body 20, thereby controlling the position of the first limit member 300 relative to the tool cabinet body 20 to avoid excessive movement or deviation from the predetermined position, and at the same time ensuring that the position of the first limit member 300 and the second limit member 400 can be properly restricted and maintained within a specific position range to prevent the first limit member 300 from moving too much under the reset force of the elastic member 500 or the drive member 600, and failing to engage with the second limit member 400. The setting of the limit seat 800 is usually determined according to the specific design of the first limit member 300 and the structural characteristics of the tool cabinet body 20, and can adopt various forms, such as protrusions, grooves or other shapes, so as to cooperate with the first limit member 300 to limit the position of the first limit member 300, thereby increasing more controllability and stability, ensuring that the handle 200 remains in the appropriate position under different operating conditions, and improving the safety of the handle device 10 and the convenience of use.
[0048] Optionally, the manufacturing process of the handle device 10 specifically includes:
[0049] a. Use injection molding technology to process each part;
[0050] b. Bending and forming of some parts that need to be formed or adjusted in shape to obtain the required shape and structure;
[0051] c. Connecting or fixing the formed parts by automatic welding process to form different workpieces, such as the handle 200, the first stopper 300, the second stopper 400, the hinge 700, etc.;
[0052] d. Spraying a specific type of paint or lacquer on the surface of the workpiece to increase surface durability and aesthetics;
[0053] e. Assemble the workpieces together by screws, glue, fasteners or other connecting methods to form the handle device 10.
[0054] Optionally, the molded handle 200 is coated with rubber and provided with a blind end to provide a better feel, anti-slip performance and comfort of use, while extending its service life. The rubber coating treatment usually uses soft materials such as rubber or silicone to wrap the surface of the handle 200, so that the handle 200 has good grip and comfort, and can provide a better feel and anti-slip effect during continuous use; the blind end refers to the plastic or metal head provided at both ends of the rubber-coated handle 200, which is used to fix and seal the rubber-coated material to prevent it from falling off or deforming during use. The blind end is usually placed at both ends of the rubber-coated handle 200, and is installed on the handle 200 by pressing or other fixing methods to ensure that the rubber-coated material is firmly fixed on the handle 200.
[0055] In another aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a tool cabinet is provided, including a tool cabinet body 20 and any one of the handle devices 10 described above, wherein the handle device 10 is installed on the tool cabinet body 20 .
[0056] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the tool cabinet includes a tool cabinet body 20 and any of the above-mentioned handle devices 10. The tool cabinet body 20, as the main structural part of the entire tool cabinet, is usually used to store various production tools. Installing any of the above-mentioned handle devices 10 on this tool cabinet body 20 can provide a user with a convenient and intuitive gripping point or support point, so that the user can operate and control the tool cabinet more easily when working, thereby increasing its convenience, flexibility and comfort of operation. At the same time, through the rotatability of the handle 200, the user can adjust the position of the handle 200 according to actual needs, which can not only meet the convenience of operation, but also will not take up a lot of space or destroy the aesthetic appearance.
[0057] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
