It has multiple layers of shelves for storing tools inside. Its main application scenarios are processing workshops, factory warehouses, etc. At present, there are endless software platforms for smart tool cabinets on the market. Usually, the software platform records and calculates the inventory quantity of tools, the number of tools entering the warehouse, and the number of tools leaving the warehouse, so as to infer the number of tools currently in the smart tool cabinet.

[0003] However, there is a common problem with the existing smart tool cabinets. During the use of the software platform, it is often found that the data on the software platform deviates from the actual number of tools in the smart tool cabinet. This is mainly caused by human factors. For example, the operator fails to store the correct number of tools in the correct aisle, the tools are not taken out normally by the operator, etc. The software platform cannot actually monitor whether the tools in the tool cabinet are consistent with the data. This will cause the company to inventory materials and hold personnel accountable when quantity problems arise. The solution currently used by smart tool cabinets on the market is to add a camera above the smart tool cabinet to record the status and usage of the smart tool cabinet, but it does not completely solve the problem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] A tool cabinet aisle layer plate, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a main body bracket 2 arranged in the tool cabinet 1, and a plurality of main body brackets 2 are arranged equidistantly in the vertical direction in the tool cabinet 1. The main body bracket 2 is divided into a plurality of cargo lanes 3 by a plurality of partitions. The cargo lanes 3 are rectangular in shape and are used to place tools 18. A push plate 4 is slidably connected in the cargo lane 3. The push plate 4 abuts against the rearmost tool 18, and the tool 18 is pushed to move toward the front end of the cargo lane 3, i.e., the discharge end, by the push plate 4. A driving member for driving the push plate 4 to move is provided on the push plate 4.

[0026] The driving component is a drawstring box 5 fixed on the push plate 4, and a spring and a pull rope are arranged in the drawstring box 5. When the pull rope is pulled out from the wire outlet of the drawstring box 5, the pull rope will retract and return to its original position under the action of the spring. The pull rope is specifically a steel wire rope, and the front end of the pull rope of the drawstring box 5 is fixed to the front end of the cargo aisle 3. Since the front end of the pull rope is fixed, it will provide a pulling force for the drawstring box 5 to move toward the front end of the cargo aisle 3 when resetting, thereby driving the push plate 4 to move toward the front end of the cargo aisle 3. When the cutting tools 18 are stored in the cargo aisle 3, the push plate 4 will gather the cutting tools 18 neatly in front of the cargo aisle 3 under the drive of the drawstring box 5.

[0027] A laser ranging module 6 is provided at the rear end of the cargo lane 3, and a reflective sheet 7 is provided on the side of the push plate 4 away from the tool 18. The reflective sheet 7 is fixed to the push plate 4 by bonding. The laser of the laser ranging module 6 is irradiated onto the reflective sheet 7, and the reflected laser is read by the receiver on the laser ranging module 6, so as to monitor the distance to the push plate 4 in real time. A laser ranging module 6 is installed corresponding to each cargo lane 3.

[0028] The push plate 4 is L-shaped, and the push plate 4 includes a vertical plate 401 and a horizontal plate 402. The pull box 5 is fixed on the horizontal plate 402. The outlet of the pull box 5 is higher than the height of the vertical plate 401, so that the pull rope is located above the vertical plate 401 and will not be blocked by the vertical plate 401. The vertical plate 401 protrudes to the side, and the reflective sheet 7 is arranged on the protruding part. The laser ranging module 6 is aligned with the reflective sheet 7, so that the laser of the laser ranging module 6 will not be blocked by the pull box 5.

[0029] A slideway 8 is opened in the cargo aisle 3 along its length direction, and the slideway 8 runs through the bottom of the cargo aisle 3. A mounting bolt 9 is arranged on the push plate 4. The mounting bolt 9 vertically passes through the horizontal plate 402 and then passes out from the slideway 8, so that the push plate 4 moves along the slideway 8. The part of the mounting bolt 9 passing through the slideway 8 is connected with a nut 10, and the nut 10 fits under the cargo aisle 3 to fix the mounting bolt 9. In this embodiment, two parallel slideways 8 are specifically arranged in the cargo aisle 3, and two mounting bolts 9 are arranged in each slideway 8 on the horizontal plate 402, and the four mounting bolts 9 are arranged in a rectangular shape.

[0030] The wire pull box 5 is penetrated by a mounting hole in the vertical direction. There are four mounting holes, which are respectively located at the corners of the wire pull box 5. The mounting bolts 9 pass through the mounting holes and then pass through the horizontal plate 402, so as to fix the wire pull box 5 on the horizontal plate 402. The mounting nut 10 is located between the wire pull box 5 and the horizontal plate 402. A heightening sleeve 11 is provided, which is used to increase the height of the wire pull box 5 so that its wire outlet is located above the vertical plate.

[0031] A crossbeam 12 is arranged above the front end of the cargo aisle 3, and the crossbeam 12 is arranged along the width direction of the cargo aisle 3. A hook 13 is arranged on the crossbeam 12. The front end of the pull rope of the pull box 5 is fixed on the hook 13, and the hook 13 is aligned with the outlet of the pull box 5, so that the moving direction of the pull rope and the push plate 4 remains parallel, so that the pull rope drives the push plate 4 to move more efficiently.

[0032] The main support 2 is installed obliquely in the tool cabinet 1, so that the cargo channel 3 is tilted downward from the rear end to the front end. The rear end position of the cargo channel 3 is higher than the front end position, and the push plate 4 and the tool 18 are easier to slide forward, thereby improving the shipping efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, a discharge mechanism is provided at the front end of the aisle 3, including a top block 14 rotatably connected to the side wall of the front end of the aisle 3, the top block 14 is driven by a motor 15 installed at the bottom of the front end of the aisle 3, and a material baffle plate 16 is also provided at the front end of the aisle 3. The frontmost tool 18 abuts against the material baffle plate 16 to prevent the tool 18 from falling. At the same time, the top block 14 is located below the frontmost tool 18. When taking materials, the motor 15 drives the top block 14 to rotate upward, lifts the tool 18 over the material baffle plate 16 and drops it out.

[0034] The top of the top block 14 is tilted, tilting downward from the rear to the front of the cargo aisle 3, so that when the top block 14 lifts the knife 18, the knife 18 is more likely to slide forward.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes an industrial computer 17 arranged in the tool cabinet 1, and an indicator light 19 is arranged at the front end of the aisle 3. The indicator light 19 is specifically arranged on the material blocking plate 16, and the indicator light 19 is controlled by the industrial computer 17. When the operator selects the model of the tool 18 to be stored on the industrial computer 17, the indicator light 19 on the aisle 3 of the corresponding model lights up, helping the operator to quickly find the corresponding aisle 3. At the same time, the laser ranging module 6 measures the distance between the push plate 4. After the operator stores the correct model and quantity of tools 18 in the aisle 3, the laser ranging module 6 measures the distance between the push plate 4 again and sends it to the industrial computer 17. The industrial computer 17 calculates the distance change between the two measurements and the width of the preset tool 18 to obtain the number of tools 18 stored in the aisle 3, and compares it with the storage number input by the operator to the industrial computer 17 before storing the tool 18, to determine whether the data matches. If it matches, the operator is prompted to store the tool 18 successfully. If it does not match, the operator is prompted to recheck the problem.

[0036] Similarly, when the operator needs to take out the tool 18, he first inputs the model and quantity to be taken into the industrial computer 17, and the discharging mechanism at the front end of the aisle 3 pushes out the tool 18 located at the front of the aisle 3. Driven by the pull box 5, the push plate 4 pushes the tool 18 in the aisle 3 neatly to the front of the aisle 3 to fill the vacancy of the pushed out tool 18. At the same time, the laser ranging module 6 measures the distance between it and the push plate 4. After the tool 18 is taken out, the laser ranging module 6 sends the distance between it and the push plate 4 to the industrial computer 17. The industrial computer 17 calculates the distance and the preset width of the tool 18 to obtain the number of tools 18 taken out, and compares it with the number input by the operator to the industrial computer 17 before taking out the tool 18 to determine whether the data matches. If so, the operator is prompted that the tool 18 is successfully taken out. If not, the industrial computer 17 will notify the equipment management personnel to come and handle it.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the design concept of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
