Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tool trays, and particularly relates to a flip - type tool placement tray. Background Art
[0002] In the field of machining, the efficient storage, safe transportation and rapid replacement of tools are undoubtedly the key links to promote the leap of production efficiency. Traditional tool trays generally adopt two tool placement modes: one is that the tool head is upward vertically, and the other is that the tool head is downward vertically. Although these two modes have their own advantages, they also have significant limitations.
[0003] When the tool is stored with the tool head upward vertically, its significant defect is that the exposure of the tool head is enhanced. During conventional storage and transportation, this exposed state is extremely likely to cause unexpected collisions or frictions between the tool head and external objects, thereby causing wear or even damage to the tool edge. This not only increases the tool replacement frequency but also invisibly reduces the safety and stability of production operations.
[0004] On the contrary, if the tool is stored with the tool head downward vertically, although it effectively avoids the direct contact between the tool head and the outside world and significantly improves the protection of the tool, it also brings another challenge to the staff. Since the tool head is hidden inside, it is often difficult for the staff to visually identify when quickly retrieving and selecting the required tool, resulting in an extended search time and affecting the overall work efficiency and operation fluency.
[0005] Therefore, it is very necessary to invent a flip - type tool placement tray. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] To solve the above - mentioned technical problems, the utility model provides a flip - type tool placement tray, which includes a tray frame, a chute, a rack and a tool tray. The chute is arranged on the tray frame, and the rack is fixedly installed. The tool tray is meshed and connected with the rack and is slidably connected with the chute arranged on the tray frame;
[0007] The tool tray includes a tray body, a sliding seat, a gear, a handle, a placement notch, a positioning protrusion, a spring, a clamping member and a lever. The tray body rotates through the sliding seat by a rotating shaft and is fixedly connected with the external gear. The gear is meshed and connected with the rack, and the sliding seat is slidably installed in the chute. The handle slides through the tray frame and penetrates into the chute to be fixedly connected with the sliding seat; The placement notches are arranged in a rectangular array on the tray body, and the positioning protrusions are arranged on the inner wall of the placement notch; The clamping member is elastically installed in the tray body through a spring, and the lever fixedly installed on the clamping member movably penetrates out of the tray body.
[0008] Preferably, the tray rack is in a "U" shape structure, and there are protrusions on the inner wall of the tray rack, which do not affect the flipping movement of the tray body but play a role in restricting the tray body after flipping.
[0009] Preferably, the rack fixedly installed on the tray rack is located below the sliding groove, and the rack is fixedly installed outside the tray rack.
[0010] Preferably, the handle is fixedly connected to the rectangular sliding seat slidably installed in the sliding groove. The sliding seat is located on both sides of the tray body, and the tray body is in a rectangular structure.
[0011] Preferably, the tray body is provided with a groove allowing the clamping member and the lever to slide and displace. Both ends of the lever pass through the groove of the tray body and can perform lateral displacement at this groove.
[0012] Preferably, both the clamping member and the positioning protrusion are in a "C" shape structure. The clamping member, by the elastic force of the spring and in cooperation with the positioning protrusion, can restrict and clamp the tool handle at the placement notch.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] On the basis of inheriting the traditional vertical placement method, the present utility model ingeniously integrates a revolutionary controllable flipping function, realizing the dual optimization of tool storage and retrieval. Specifically, in the daily storage state, the tools are safely placed in the tray in a vertically downward manner. Such a design effectively avoids the direct contact between the tool tip and the outside world, greatly enhances the protection of the tools, and reduces the risk of damage caused by accidental collision. When a specific tool needs to be quickly selected during production operations, the uniqueness of the present utility model is demonstrated. The operator only needs to gently pull the handle on the tool tray to trigger the flipping mechanism, making the originally hidden tool tip flip to the upward position. This not only simplifies the tool retrieval process but also enables the staff to clearly identify and select the required tool at a glance, greatly improving work efficiency and operation convenience.

[0022] As shown in the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 3 figure:
[0023] A flip - type tool placement tray provided by the present utility model includes a tray rack 1, a chute 2, a rack 3, and a tool tray 4. The chute 2 is provided on the tray rack 1, and the rack 3 is fixedly installed. The tool tray 4 is meshed with the rack 3 and is slidably connected to the chute 2 provided on the tray rack 1.
[0024] The tool tray 4 includes a tray body 41, a sliding seat 42, a gear 43, a handle 44, a placement notch 45, a positioning projection 46, a spring 47, a clamping member 48, and a lever 49. The tray body 41 rotates through the sliding seat 42 via a rotating shaft and is fixedly connected to the external gear 43. The gear 43 is meshed and connected to the rack 3, and the sliding seat 42 is slidably installed in the chute 2. The handle 44 slides through the tray rack 1 and penetrates into the chute 2 to be fixedly connected to the sliding seat 42. The placement notches 45 are arranged in a rectangular array on the tray body 41, and the positioning projections 46 are arranged on the inner wall of the placement notch 45. The clamping member 48 is elastically installed in the tray body 41 via the spring 47, and the lever 49 fixedly installed on the clamping member 48 movably penetrates out of the tray body 41. The tool tray 4 can perform a flipping motion, and the orientation of the tool head is controlled through this flipping mechanism.
[0025] Embodiment 1:
[0026] Specifically, the tray rack 1 adopts a "U"-shaped structure. This design not only saves space but also enhances the stability of the overall structure. On the inner wall of the tray rack 1, a series of protrusions are cleverly arranged. These protrusions are precisely calculated and laid out, neither hindering the smooth flipping of the tray body 1 nor being able to effectively restrict it after the tray body flips in place, ensuring that the tray body 1 remains in the correct position and preventing subsequent accidental sliding or flipping.
[0027] Specifically, a rack 3 is fixedly installed outside the tray rack 1. This rack is located below the chute 2. Such a layout optimizes the space utilization and at the same time ensures the precise meshing of the rack 3 and the gear 43 on the tray body 41. The chute 2 is designed as a rectangle for slidably installing the rectangular sliding seat 42, providing a solid foundation for the smooth sliding of the tray body 41.
[0028] Specifically, the tray body 41 adopts a rectangular structure and cooperates with the sliding seat 42 to ensure stable sliding and flipping. The placement notches 45 are evenly distributed on the tray body 41 for placing tools. Particularly, special grooves are also provided on the tray body 41. These grooves allow the clamping member 48 and the lever 49 to perform sliding displacements. Both ends of the lever 49 penetrate out of the groove and can move horizontally at this groove. This design enables the staff to conveniently control the tightening and loosening of the clamping member 48 through the lever 49 to achieve the quick clamping and release of the tool.
[0029] Specifically, both the clamping member 48 and the positioning projection 46 are designed as a "C"-shaped structure. This shape not only provides excellent clamping force but also matches the shape of the tool's handle, ensuring a secure grip. The clamping member 48, through the elastic force of the spring 47 and the positioning projection 46, precisely restrains and holds the tool's handle in the placement notch. To replace the tool, simply flick the lever 49 to release the clamping force of the clamping member 48, allowing the tool to be easily removed or inserted.
[0030] Example 2:
[0031] Storage state: In the initial state, the tool is safely placed in the placement slot 45 of the tray body 41 in a vertical downward manner. The tightening member 48 automatically clamps the tool handle under the action of the spring 47 to ensure that the tool is stable and not loose.
[0032] Selecting a tool: When a specific tool needs to be selected, the operator first determines the location of the desired tool by visual identification or marking (not shown). Then, the operator gently pulls the handle 44 to drive the slide 42 to slide in the chute 2.
[0033] Flipping the Tray: When the handle 44 is pulled, causing the slide 42 to slide, the tray 31 begins to flip, driven by the gear 43 and rack 3. After flipping, the protrusions on the inner wall of the tray frame 31 act as a stop, ensuring accuracy and stability after flipping. When the tray 41 is flipped to the position with the blade facing upward, stop pulling the handle 44.
[0034] Release the tool: At this point, the tool head is exposed upward, making it easier for the operator to identify and select it. By moving the lever 49, the clamping force of the tightening member 48 on the tool handle is released, and the required tool can be easily removed.
[0035] Replace or put back the tool: After completing the selection of the tool, if you need to replace or put back the tool, you only need to put the new tool into the placement slot 45 and release the lever 49 to re-clamp the tool handle with the clamping member 48. Then, you can flip the tray body 41 back to its original position as needed.
[0036] Utilizing the technical solution described in the utility model, or those skilled in the art designing similar technical solutions inspired by the technical solution of the utility model to achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, all fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
