[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a smart tool cabinet, comprising a cabinet body 1, an operation panel 2 installed on the front of the cabinet body 1, the operation panel 2 serving as the main interaction device between the tool cabinet and the user, allowing the user to operate directly via touch screen, buttons, or voice, etc., and the user can quickly access the functions of the tool cabinet through the operation panel 2, such as tool retrieval, return, and storage status query, etc., a ventilation component is provided on the upper right side of the cabinet body 1, which facilitates ventilation of the tool cabinet interior, uprights 6 are fixedly connected to the four sides of the cabinet body 1, partitions 8 are installed on both sides of the interior of the multiple uprights 6, and adjustment components are provided on both sides of the interior of the multiple partitions 8, which facilitates adjustment of the spacing between the partitions 8, a cabinet door 3 is installed on the front of the cabinet body 1, a handle 5 is fixedly connected to the exterior of the cabinet door 3, and a transparent window 4 is installed inside the cabinet door 3, the transparent window 4 being made of acrylic material, allowing the user to directly observe the tool storage status inside the tool cabinet through the cabinet door 3 without frequently opening the cabinet door 3, thereby saving time and improving efficiency;
[0029] The adjustment assembly includes sliders 9, which are slidably connected to both sides of the interior of the partition 8. A telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the right slider 9, and the top of the telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the left slider 9. A crossbar 10 is fixedly connected to the upper part of both sliders 9. The crossbar 10 facilitates the use of the operator. A spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 11. An insert block 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of both sliders 9. A first through hole 14 is opened in the upper part of the partition 8. The two crossbars 10 are slidably connected inside the first through hole 14. The first through hole 14 facilitates the movement of the crossbars 10. A second through hole 15 is opened on both sides of the interior of the partition 8. The two insert blocks 13 are slidably connected inside the two second through holes 15. The second through holes 15 facilitate the movement of the insert blocks 13. A slot 7 is opened on both sides of the interior of the multiple columns 6. The two insert blocks 13 are inserted into the two slots 7, which improves the stability of the partition 8 installation.
[0030] Specifically, when adjusting the spacing between the partitions 8, firstly, the sliders 9 are moved relative to each other, causing the two sliders 9 to move relative to each other and press against the telescopic rod 11 fixed in the middle. When the two sliders 9 move closer to the middle, the telescopic rod 11 contracts under the pressure, simultaneously driving the externally sleeved spring 12 to compress synchronously. The spring 12 undergoes elastic deformation during the compression process, storing a certain amount of elastic energy. As the two sliders 9 move relative to each other, the two externally fixed inserts 13 are also driven to move synchronously by the sliders 9, causing the two inserts 13 to gradually disengage from the interior of the two slots 7. At this time, the partition 8 is in an adjustable state. Next, the specific position of the partition 8 inside the four columns 6 can be adjusted by moving it vertically downwards or upwards. When the partition 8 is moved to a suitable height or position for storing the target tool, the two inserts 13 are realigned with the two slots 7. Then, the two crossbars 10 are released, and under the reaction force of the spring 12, the two inserts 13... 3 is quickly pushed back into the two slots 7, thus achieving stable fixation of the partition 8. This design offers great flexibility and convenience. Users can easily adjust the spacing between the partitions 8 according to their storage needs, adapting to the storage requirements of tools of different sizes and shapes. For larger tools, the spacing between the partitions 8 can be adjusted to increase storage space and avoid the problem of not being able to place them; while for smaller tools, the spacing between the partitions 8 can be reduced to prevent wasting space when storing tools. This design makes full use of the internal storage space of the tool cabinet, achieving the goal of optimized storage. By adjusting the spacing, the tool cabinet can provide more precise classification and placement according to the user's needs, making it more convenient to access tools and avoiding damage caused by tool stacking or squeezing. At the same time, this flexible design also improves the applicability of the tool cabinet, not only meeting the needs of various scenarios such as workshops and laboratories, but also suitable for environments where the types and quantities of tools frequently change.
[0031] Reference Figures 5-7 The ventilation assembly includes a mounting block 16, which is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the cabinet 1. A filter plate 19 is provided on the upper part of the mounting block 16 to facilitate air filtration. Protrusions 22 are fixedly connected to both sides of the filter plate 19. A mounting bracket 17 is fixedly connected inside the mounting block 16. A motor 18 is fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting bracket 17 to facilitate the fixation of the motor 18. A mounting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 18. Fan blades 24 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the mounting plate 23. A ventilation plate 25 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the mounting block 16 to facilitate air input. Handles 20 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper part of the filter plate 19 to facilitate lifting the filter plate 19. Grooves 21 are provided on both sides of the upper part of the mounting block 16. Two protrusions 22 are inserted into two grooves 21 to improve the stability of the filter plate 19 installation.
[0032] Specifically, when ventilating the inside of the tool cabinet, firstly, the motor 18 is started, and the motor 18 starts working, driving the mounting plate 23 fixed at its output end to rotate. The rotation of the mounting plate 23 drives the fan blades 24 fixed around its outside to rotate synchronously, thereby generating a stable and strong wind. The wind force, through the synergistic action of the mounting plate 23 and the fan blades 24, introduces air from the outside into the tool cabinet. Before the air flows into the tool cabinet, it is first filtered by the filter plate 19 on the upper part of the mounting block 16. The filter plate 19 can effectively block dust, particulate matter and other pollutants in the air, ensuring that the air entering the tool cabinet is clean and free of impurities. This not only provides a clean storage environment inside the tool cabinet but also protects the tools stored inside from external contaminants. Filtered air is evenly distributed into the interior space of cabinet 1 through ventilation panels 25. This ventilation effectively promotes airflow within the tool cabinet, especially in humid environments, quickly expelling stagnant moisture. Once the moisture is expelled, cabinet 1 maintains a dry environment, thus preventing rust or corrosion of tools caused by damp conditions. This ventilation design is particularly important for metal tools, significantly extending their lifespan. To ensure the longevity of the system and maintain stable performance, the filter plate 19 needs to be cleaned regularly during daily use to ensure efficient operation of the ventilation system. First, the filter plate 19 can be easily removed from the grooves 21 on both sides of the upper part of the mounting block 16 by using the handles 20 on both sides of the top of the filter plate 19. The engaging design of the protrusion 22 at the bottom of the filter plate 19 with the groove 21 ensures that the filter plate 19 is firmly installed, but at the same time it is easy to disassemble. After removing the filter plate 19 and the protrusion 22 from the groove 21, the filter plate 19 can be thoroughly cleaned to remove accumulated dust and particles, ensuring the normal operation of the filtration function. After cleaning, reinstalling the filter plate 19 is also very simple. Just align the filter plate 19 and the protrusion 22 with the position of the groove 21, insert it and snap it into the groove 21. The entire disassembly and installation process can be completed without any tools, which greatly improves the convenience of user operation. The advantages of this ventilation design are not only simple operation and convenient maintenance, but also enhance the practicality and multifunctionality of the tool cabinet. Through ventilation operation, the tool cabinet can continuously maintain a dry and clean internal environment, effectively preventing problems such as tool damage, cabinet corrosion, and mold growth caused by moisture retention. At the same time, this design is suitable for various environments, whether it is a humid workshop, an outdoor warehouse with large temperature fluctuations, or an industrial scene with poor air quality, it can provide reliable ventilation.
[0033] Working principle: When it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the partitions 8, firstly, the relative movement of the sliders 9 causes the two sliders 9 to press the telescopic rod 11 fixed in the middle, causing the telescopic rod 11 to retract and simultaneously press the externally sleeved spring 12, causing the spring 12 to deform under force. As the two sliders 9 move relative to each other, the two externally fixed inserts 13 move synchronously, allowing the two inserts 13 to disengage from the two slots 7. Then, the partitions 8 are moved inside the four columns 6. When the partitions 8 are moved to the appropriate position, the two inserts 13 are aligned with the two slots 7. Then, the two crossbars 10 are released, and under the reaction force of the spring 12, the two inserts 13 are inserted into the two slots 7. This allows for easy adjustment of the spacing between the partitions 8. The adjustable spacing allows users to freely adjust the storage space according to the size and shape of the tools, avoiding the situation where large tools cannot be placed and small tools waste space due to the fixed partitions 8. It makes full use of every inch of space and improves the practicality of the tool cabinet.
[0034] When ventilating the tool cabinet, the motor 18 is started, which rotates the mounting plate 23 fixed at the output end. The rotation of the mounting plate 23 rotates the fan blades 24 fixed around the outside. The rotation of the mounting plate 23 and the fan blades 24 generates airflow, which is filtered by the filter plate 19 on the upper part of the mounting block 16. Then, the air is delivered into the cabinet 1 through the ventilation plate 25, thus completing the ventilation operation inside the tool cabinet. At the same time, when it is necessary to clean the filter plate 19, the handles 20 fixed on both sides of the upper part of the filter plate 19 are used to... The filter plate 19 and the two protrusions 22 can be removed from the grooves 21 on both sides of the upper part of the mounting block 16 to complete the cleaning of the filter plate 19. During installation, the filter plate 19 and the protrusions 22 are aligned with the grooves 21, and then the protrusions 22 are snapped into the grooves 21. This facilitates ventilation inside the tool cabinet. The ventilation design promotes air circulation and effectively removes moisture from the tool cabinet. Especially in humid environments, it prevents metal tools from rusting due to moisture corrosion. Maintaining a dry storage environment can extend the service life of the tools.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
