[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] A tool storage compartment structure, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the structure includes a hollow rectangular box 1 with an open front. The box 1 is composed of multiple metal plates, forming the external frame of the storage compartment 4 structure. Inside the box 1, there are several horizontal partitions 2 and several vertical partitions 3. A first slit 6 is cut along the horizontal direction on the horizontal partitions 2 or vertical partitions 3. The horizontal partitions 2 and vertical partitions 3 are joined by mortise and tenon joints through the first slit 6, thereby dividing the inside of the box 1 into several storage compartments 4. Each storage compartment 4 is provided with a compartment door 5. A component mounting cover 7 is provided inside the box 1. A door lock is provided between the compartment door 5 and the component mounting cover 7 for locking the compartment door 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, two first slits 6 are provided on each vertical partition 3. The first slits 6 are opened from the rear end of the vertical partition 3 forward, and the two first slits 6 are arranged in a vertical direction, so that two horizontal partitions 2 can be snapped onto the vertical partition 3 to form a three-layer structure. After the horizontal partitions 2 and vertical partitions 3 are mortised and tenoned together, they are welded together and welded into the box body 1, dividing the box body 1 into nine equal storage compartments 4. Of course, according to actual needs, different numbers of storage compartments 4 can be divided by more or fewer horizontal partitions 2 and vertical partitions 3.

[0032] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, one side of the component mounting cover 7 is attached to the vertical partition 3, and the component protrudes into the storage compartment 4. The component mounting cover 7 has a second slit 9 along the horizontal direction. The component mounting cover 7 and the horizontal partition 2 are joined by mortise and tenon joints through the second slit 9. In this embodiment, two horizontal partitions 2 are provided, so the component mounting cover 7 has two second slits 9, which divide the component mounting cover 7 into three parts, which are located in the three layers of storage compartment 4 respectively.

[0033] The front end of the component mounting cover 7 is provided with several rotating shaft brackets 10. Through holes are provided at both the top and bottom ends of the housing 1, located at the component mounting cover 7. A rotating shaft 11 is installed within each through hole, passing vertically through the through holes and sequentially through all the rotating shaft brackets 10 on the component mounting cover 7. The top and bottom sides of the door 5 have through holes, through which the rotating shaft 11 passes, allowing one end of the door 5 to be hinged to the rotating shaft 11. Specifically, two rotating shaft brackets 10 are welded to the front end of the component mounting cover 7. The highest-level door 5 is located between the top of the housing 1 and the rotating shaft bracket 10; the middle-level door 5 is located between the two rotating shaft brackets 10; and the lowest-level door 5 is located between the rotating shaft bracket 10 and the bottom of the housing 1, thus achieving hinged connection and upper and lower limit of the three-layer door 5.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rotating end of the compartment door 5 is located on the left side. Therefore, the rightmost component mounting cover 7 does not have a rotating shaft bracket 10, while the leftmost side of the housing 1 has a separate rotating shaft bracket 10 for mounting the leftmost compartment door 5.

[0035] The door lock in this embodiment includes an electrically controlled spring lock 8 mounted on the component mounting cover 7, and a locking hook located inside the compartment door 5. The locking hook is located at the movable end of the compartment door 5, i.e., the right side of the compartment door 5. When the compartment door 5 is closed, the locking hook engages with the electrically controlled spring lock 8 to lock the compartment door 5. The electrically controlled spring lock 8 in this embodiment can be a commercially available model and belongs to existing technology; its specific structure will not be described in detail.

[0036] A locking hole 22 is provided through the vertical partition 3, and a locking hole 22 is also provided at the corresponding component mounting cover 7 of each storage compartment 4, corresponding to each electronically controlled spring lock 8, for manual unlocking through the locking hole 22 when the electronically controlled spring lock 8 malfunctions. Due to structural limitations and for the sake of the overall aesthetics of the outer shell, no locking hole 22 is provided on the right side wall of the box 1 in this embodiment. When the rightmost electronically controlled spring lock 8 malfunctions, it can be repaired by removing the entire row. In other embodiments, a locking hole 22 can also be provided on the right side wall of the box 1 for manual unlocking of the rightmost electronically controlled spring lock 8.

[0037] The top of the housing 1 has a wire harness outlet 12, and the partition 2 has an installation notch 14 at the component mounting cover 7, so that the component mounting cover 7 forms an independent space, connecting the upper and lower three storage compartments 4 to each other. The wires in the component mounting cover 7 pass through the installation notch 14 and exit through the wire harness outlet 12 at the top of the housing 1, so that the wires of the bottom layer and the middle layer of storage compartment 4 can pass upward through the top of the housing 1.

[0038] A light strip 13 is vertically mounted on the component mounting cover 7. The light strip 13 is a flexible LED light strip fixed to the outside of the component mounting cover 7, i.e., the side facing the inside of the storage compartment 4. The light strip 13 is used to provide light to the storage compartment 4. The light strip 13 passes through the mounting notch 14 and enters each layer of the storage compartment 4. Therefore, a single light strip 13 can illuminate all three layers of the storage compartment 4. The top of the housing 1 has a light strip outlet from which the flexible LED light strip can be led out.

[0039] A wire harness bracket 15 is vertically mounted on the component mounting cover 7. The wire harness bracket 15 passes through the mounting notch 14 into the storage compartment 4 of each layer. Each storage compartment 4 of the wire harness bracket 15 is equipped with a cable tie seat 16, and each electrically controlled spring lock 8 corresponds to one cable tie seat, used to fix and organize the control wire harness and cable of each electrically controlled spring lock 8. The wire harness bracket 15 has a clearance notch at the position corresponding to each horizontal partition 2 to avoid cutting the wire harness during installation.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the door 5 is made of transparent acrylic sheet material, allowing staff to directly observe the interior of the storage compartment 4 through the door 5, checking the tool status and remaining balance, thus reducing frequent door opening and closing operations. A serial number label 20 is provided on the outside of the door 5 to identify the number of each storage compartment 4, and a card slot 21 is provided on the outside of the door 5. The card slot 21 can hold a model information card, which records information about the deep hole machining tools 19 stored in each storage compartment 4.

[0041] A tool holder 17 is provided inside the storage compartment 4. The tool holder 17 extends along the length of the storage compartment 4 and is used to hold the machining tool 19, which can be taken out together with the machining tool 19. An anti-roll groove 18 is provided on the tool holder 17. The anti-roll groove 18 is a V-shaped groove formed on the upper surface of the tool holder 17 to prevent the machining tool 19 from shifting.

[0042] The installation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] The horizontal partition 2 is inserted forward from the rear end of the vertical partition 3 to achieve mortise and tenon splicing, and welding is performed at each splicing position. Then, the horizontal partition 2 and the vertical partition 3 are combined and welded into the box 1 as a whole, thus forming the main structure of the tool storage compartment 4 and separating multiple deep hole machining tool 19 storage compartments 4.

[0044] When assembling the component mounting cover 7 module, the rotating shaft bracket 10 needs to be welded to the component mounting cover 7 first, then the wire harness bracket 15 needs to be welded to the inside of the component mounting cover 7. The electrically controlled spring lock 8 is then installed on the inside of the component mounting cover 7 using screws. The LED flexible light strip 13 is then installed on the side of the component mounting cover 7 facing the storage compartment 4 and secured with cable ties. This assembly work can be performed externally as an independent module, allowing multiple assembly workers to work simultaneously. This significantly improves production efficiency in mass production, reduces production costs, and shortens the equipment's production cycle.

[0045] Then, the component mounting cover 7 is attached tightly to the vertical partition 3 and inserted into the storage compartment 4 from the front. The component mounting cover 7 is joined to the horizontal partition 2 by a mortise and tenon joint through the second cut 9. After installation, the horizontal partition 2 and the vertical partition 3 restrict the left and right displacement of the component mounting cover 7. A rotating shaft 11 is inserted through the through hole at the top of the box 1. During the insertion of the rotating shaft 11, it passes through the through holes on the upper and lower sides of the compartment door 5 to fix the compartment door 5. The rotating shaft 11 also needs to pass through multiple rotating shaft brackets 10. Through the combination of rotating shaft brackets 10, rotating shaft 11 and through holes, the front and back displacement of the component mounting cover 7 is restricted. After installation, the structure of the box 1 restricts the up and down displacement of the component mounting plate. Thus, the fixing of the component mounting cover 7 and the compartment door 5 is completed.

[0046] After assembly, lead out the control harnesses and cables of all components installed in the component mounting cover 7 from the harness outlet 12, lead out the LED flexible light strip from the light strip outlet, and connect the control harnesses and cables and the LED flexible light strip 13 to the power supply and controller. This completes the assembly of the tool storage compartment 4.

[0047] When using the tool storage compartment 4, open the compartment door 5 via the controller to take out or place the machining tool 19 and tool holder 17 into the storage compartment 4. After completing the operation, close the compartment door 5 and press the locking hook into the electronically controlled spring lock 8 to lock it.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
