Specific embodiments

[0022] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Embodiment:

[0024] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 5 A tool cart with adjustable partition spacing disclosed by the present utility model includes a base 1. Four corners of the top of the base 1 are fixedly connected with support rods 2. The top of the support rods 2 is fixedly connected with a fixed partition 3. At least two groups of movable partitions 4 are arranged between the fixed partition 3 and the base 1. Four corners of the movable partitions 4 are slidably connected with the support rods 2 through sliding assemblies 5. A positioning mechanism 6 is arranged in two adjacent sliding assemblies 5.

[0025] In this embodiment, when the tool cart is in use, different tools will be placed on its partitions, and the volumes of different tools are also different, resulting in some larger tools being able to be placed only at the top of the tool cart, affecting the classification of tool use.

[0026] Therefore, it can be observed Figure 1 that support rods 2 are arranged at four corners of the top of the base 1, and at the same time, a fixed partition 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rods 2 to fix the frame of the tool cart. Subsequently, at least two groups of movable partitions 4 are arranged between the fixed partition 3 and the base 1, and the movable partitions 4 are connected to the support rods 2 through sliding assemblies 5, so that the movable partitions 4 can be freely adjusted according to the use requirements, thereby changing the internal floor height of the tool cart. When classifying and storing tools, the position of the movable partition 4 is adjusted to change the floor height, so that larger tools can also be put in, improving the practicability of the tool cart.

[0027] The setting of the sliding assembly 5 allows the movable partition 4 to slide according to usage requirements, but it also causes unstable use of the movable partition 4. When a heavier object is placed on the movable partition 4, the movable partition 4 will slide downward, causing the movable partition 4 to squeeze the parts below, causing the parts to be crushed and increasing the difficulty of removing the parts.

[0028] So observe Figure 1 It can be found that positioning mechanisms 6 are provided in two adjacent sliding components 5. The positioning mechanisms 6 are used to press against the support rods 2 to make the movable partition 4 hover at the current position, which can be used to ensure the stability of the tool cart and further improve the practicality of the tool cart.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the sliding assembly 5 includes a sleeve 51 and a ball 52. The bottom of the sleeve 51 is fixedly connected to the movable partition 4. The sleeve 51 is slidably connected to the support rod 2. A plurality of track grooves 7 are provided in a circular array on the outer wall of the support rod 2. The inner wall of the sleeve 51 is provided with a ball 52 that contacts the track groove 7.

[0030] In this embodiment, since the position of the movable partition 4 needs to be adjusted according to the usage scenario to change the layer height inside the tool cart so that larger tools can also be well placed in the tool cart, a sliding sleeve 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable partition 4, so that the sliding sleeve 51 is slidably connected to the support rod 2 to achieve the effect of adjusting the position of the movable partition 4.

[0031] At the same time, a track groove 7 is opened on the outer wall of the support rod 2, and a ball 52 rolling contact with the track groove 7 is arranged on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 51. The rolling contact of the ball 52 can make the sliding resistance of the sliding sleeve 51 smaller, which can further improve the adjustment speed of the dynamic partition 4.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the balls 52 are provided in two groups and are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the sliding sleeve 51 with the center of the sliding sleeve 51 as a reference.

[0033] In this embodiment, since the sleeve 51 has an assembly tolerance during processing, a sliding gap is generated between the sleeve 51 and the support rod 2. Therefore, when the heavy object placed on the top of the movable partition 4 is not at the center point of the movable partition 4, one side of the movable partition 4 will be subjected to a greater force, thereby causing the movable partition 4 to tilt, causing the top and bottom openings of the sleeve 51 to squeeze the support rod 2, resulting in excessive pressure on the outer wall of the support rod 2 and an indentation, causing the movable partition 4 to be disturbed by the indentation and get stuck during subsequent adjustments.

[0034] So observe Figure 2It can be found that two sets of ball bearings 52 are symmetrically arranged inside the sliding sleeve 51. Multi-point contact is achieved through the two sets of ball bearings 52, so that when the moving partition plate 4 is pressed and tilted, the sliding sleeve 51 is supported by the ball bearings 52, preventing the sliding sleeve 51 from tilting, thus effectively avoiding the sliding sleeve 51 from pressing and damaging the support rod 2 and effectively ensuring the sliding sensitivity of the moving partition plate 4.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the positioning mechanism 6 includes a friction block 61, a support spring 62 and an adjustment assembly 63. An extrusion groove 8 for avoiding the ball bearings 52 is formed in the inner side wall of the sliding sleeve 51. A friction block 61 for extruding the support rod 2 is slidably arranged in the extrusion groove 8. Two sets of support springs 62 for supporting the friction block 61 are symmetrically arranged in the extrusion groove 8. An adjustment assembly 63 is arranged on the side of the friction block 61 away from the support rod 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, due to the arrangement of the sliding sleeve 51 and the ball bearings 52, the sliding resistance of the moving partition plate 4 is very small, resulting in the moving partition plate 4 being directly extruded and moved downward by the gravity of the tool when the tool is placed on it, affecting the use stability of the moving partition plate 4.

[0037] Therefore, an extrusion groove 8 is formed in the sliding sleeve 51, and a friction block 61 is connected in the extrusion groove 8 through a support spring 62. The support spring 62 pushes the friction block 61 to extrude the support rod 2 to generate a large resistance, so as to prevent the movement of the moving partition plate 4 in turn, thereby achieving the effect of making the moving partition plate 4 hover and making the moving partition plate 4 more stable when holding tools.

[0038] By arranging an adjustment assembly 63 on one side of the friction block 61, the contact between the friction block 61 and the support rod 2 can be interfered by an external force of a person, so as to change the resistance received when the moving partition plate 4 moves, enabling the moving partition plate 4 to freely adjust its height according to the use requirements and making the floor height adjustment of the tool cart more convenient.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, a rubber gasket 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the friction block 61 close to the support rod 2, and an anti-slip pattern is arranged on the surface of the rubber gasket 9 in contact with the support rod 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, since the friction block 61 is in contact with the support rod 2 and the pressure applied by the support spring 62 is used to enhance the friction force to prevent the downward sliding of the moving partition plate 4, the magnitude of the friction force is related to the elastic force of the support spring 62. When the elastic force of the support spring 62 is small, it will affect the hovering stability of the moving partition plate 4. When the elastic force of the support spring 62 is too large, it will increase the difficulty of using the adjustment assembly 63.

[0041] Therefore, observe Figure 4It can be found that a rubber gasket 9 is provided on the side of the friction block 61 close to the support rod 2. By utilizing the material characteristics of the rubber gasket 9, the friction force can be effectively enhanced to prevent the excessive elastic force of the support spring 62 from affecting the use of the adjustment assembly 63. In order to further enhance the friction force of the rubber gasket 9, anti-slip textures can be processed on the surface of the rubber gasket 9 in contact with the support rod 2 to further improve the hovering stability of the moving partition 4.

[0042] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 3 - Figure 5 shown, the adjustment assembly 63 is mainly composed of a pull plate 631 and a pull rod 632. A placement groove 10 for placing the pull plate 631 is formed on the outer side wall of the sliding sleeve 51, and the pull plate 631 is placed therein. One side of the pull plate 631 close to the friction block 61 is hinged with a pull rod 632, and the other side of the pull rod 632 away from the pull plate 631 is hinged with the outer side wall of the friction block 61. Avoidance grooves 11 for avoiding fingers are formed at the top and bottom of the placement groove 10 where the pull rod 632 is located.

[0043] In this embodiment, since the moving partition 4 hovers in contact with the support rod 2 through the friction block 61, to make the moving partition 4 resume moving, it is necessary to separate the friction block 61 from the support rod 2. Therefore, it can be observed that Figure 4 a pull rod 632 is hinged to the outer side wall of the friction block 61. By pulling the pull rod 632, the friction block 61 can be separated from the support rod 2, enabling the moving partition 4 to resume moving.

[0044] However, since there is no force application point on the outer wall of the pull rod 632, it will affect the pulling of the pull rod 632. Therefore, a pull plate 631 is hinged to the end of the pull rod 632 away from the friction block 61. By using the pull plate 631 as the force application point, it is more convenient to pull the friction block 61, which can effectively reduce the adjustment difficulty of the moving partition 4 of the tool cart.

[0045] The setting of the pull plate 631 can not only increase the force application point for pulling the friction block 61, but also provide a force application point when moving the moving partition 4. When it is necessary to move the moving partition 4 upward, the pull plate 631 can be pulled out, and then as Figure 4 shown, the pull plate 631 is lifted upward so that the top of the pull plate 631 abuts against the placement groove 10. By using the pull plate 631 as the force application platform, it is more convenient to move the moving partition 4 upward; and if it is necessary to move the moving partition 4 downward, it only needs to Figure 5 move the pull plate 631 downward as shown.

[0046] The embodiments of this specific implementation manner are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the protection scope of the present utility model accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
