[0023] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides a tool storage and retrieval mechanism for machining, including a storage box 1. A protective cover 2 is provided on the top of the storage box 1. A scissor lift 3 is connected to both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the storage box 1. The upper ends of the two scissor lift 3 are connected to the protective cover 2. A plurality of evenly distributed storage trays 4 are axially connected between the facing surfaces of the two protective covers 2. A pressure airbag 5 is provided on the top of each storage tray 4. The pressure airbag 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover 2 and the storage tray 4. A storage groove 6 is opened on the top of the storage tray 4, located directly below the corresponding pressure airbag 5. A plurality of evenly distributed dividing strips 7 are slidably engaged inside the storage groove 6. The storage slot 6 is divided into several independent areas by dividing strips 7. Each independent area contains a knife. The top of the protective cover 2 is movably connected to the control component 8. The storage box 1 and the protective cover 2 are connected by an adapter component 9. Due to the setting of the scissor lift frame 3, several storage trays 4 can be arranged in parallel with the storage box 1 and the protective cover 2, thereby effectively improving the storage effect with the cooperation of the storage slot 6 and the dividing strips 7. With the help of the pressure airbag 5, when the storage box 1 and the protective cover 2 are opened or closed, all knives can be automatically fixed and released with the cooperation of the scissor lift frame 3, effectively improving the efficiency of use and the fixing effect.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rear ends of the upper and lower ends of the scissor lift 3 are rotatably connected to the storage box 1 and the protective cover 2, and the front ends of the upper and lower ends of the scissor lift 3 are slidably engaged with the inside of the storage box 1 and the protective cover 2.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the protective cover 2 includes a cover body 21 that is fastened to the top of the storage box 1. The top of the cover body 21 is provided with an adapter groove 22, and the cover body 21 is provided with sliding grooves 23 located at the left and right ends of the adapter groove 22. The front and rear ends of the sliding grooves 23 extend upwards. Due to the setting of the sliding grooves 23, the protective cover 2 can be lifted stably after the control component 8 moves back and forth, avoiding the situation where the control component 8 accidentally slides in the adapter groove 22 during the lifting or moving process, causing the protective cover 2 to open accidentally and the tool to fall.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the bottom of the cover 21 has a mounting groove 27 that covers the outside of the scissor lift frame 3 and the storage tray 4. The uppermost pressure airbag 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting groove 27. The bottom of the cover 21 has a positioning cavity 26 located outside the mounting groove 27. The inside of the cover 21 has a connecting cavity 24 located between the positioning cavity 26 and the adapter groove 22. The adapter component 9 is snapped into the inside of the positioning cavity 26 and the connecting cavity 24. The inside of the cover 21 has a connecting groove 25 connecting the adapter groove 22 and the connecting cavity 24. Due to the setting of the positioning cavity 26, it is convenient to snap the adapter component 9 in, thereby making the protective cover 2 and the storage box 1 tightly fastened, improving the sealing firmness and tightness.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the control component 8 includes a control handle 81 that is slidably engaged inside the adapter groove 22. The bottom of the control handle 81 is movably connected to an adapter block 82 that is slidably engaged inside the connecting groove 25. A connecting shaft is slidably inserted through the adapter block 82, and both ends of the connecting shaft are fixedly connected to the control handle 81. A short shaft is slidably engaged inside the sliding groove 23. One end of the short shaft near the control handle 81 extends into the adapter groove 22 and is fixedly connected to both ends of the control handle 81. Due to the arrangement of the adapter block 82 and the connecting shaft, it is ensured that the control handle 81 can drive the adapter component 9 to move through the adapter block 82. At the same time, it is also ensured that the control handle 81 can drive the short shafts at both ends to slide into the interior of the upwardly extending parts at both ends of the sliding groove 23 without being affected by the adapter block 82, thereby ensuring that the control handle 81 stably lifts the protective cover 2.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the adapter component 9 includes a positioning frame 91 fixedly connected to the top of the storage box 1. The positioning frame 91 is movably engaged inside the positioning cavity 26. Two positioning blocks 92 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the positioning frame 91. The front of the positioning block 92 is provided with a positioning groove 93. Due to the setting of the positioning frame 91, the protective cover 2 and the storage box 1 can be fastened together. Then, with the cooperation of the positioning block 92 and the positioning groove 93, the linkage rod 94 can be connected to the positioning frame 91 through the positioning insert rod 97, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the protective cover 2 and the storage box 1.

[0029] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, a linkage rod 94 is provided above the positioning frame 91, which is slidably engaged with the inside of the connecting cavity 24 and the positioning cavity 26. The bottom of the adapter block 82 is fixedly connected to the top of the linkage rod 94. Both ends of the linkage rod 94 are fixedly connected to a linkage frame 95, which is slidably engaged with the inside of the positioning cavity 26. The bottom of the linkage frame 95 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 96 located in front of the two positioning blocks 92. The back of the connecting block 96 is fixedly connected to a positioning insert rod 97, which is inserted into the positioning groove 93 from front to back. Due to the setting of the adapter component 9, with the cooperation of the control component 8, it is easy to fix the protective cover 2 and the storage box 1, and it is convenient for the user to lift the protective cover 2 and the storage box 1 as a whole through the control component 8. It is also convenient to lift the protective cover 2 that is fastened to the top of the storage box 1 and the several storage trays 4 connected to the bottom of it by the scissor lift frame 3 through the control component 8.

[0030] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0031] The knives are placed into different storage trays 4 according to their usage frequency for easy access. The knives in each storage slot 6 are separated by removable dividing strips 7. Then, the protective cover 2 is pressed down, and with the cooperation of two scissor lift frames 3, the storage trays 4 are moved down synchronously. Finally, the pressure airbag 5 above the storage tray 4 is pressed into the storage slot 6 and pressed against the top of the knives until the mounting slot 27 at the bottom of the cover 21 is completely engaged with the positioning frame 91 at the top of the storage box 1. Then, the control handle 81 is pushed backward, and the linkage rod 94 is moved backward through the adapter block 82. Then, with the cooperation of the connecting slot 25, the connecting cavity 24 and the positioning cavity 26, the positioning rods 97 at both ends are moved backward until the positioning rods 97 are inserted into the corresponding positioning slots 93.

[0032] Finally, by lifting the control handle 81, the control handle 81 can be moved upward along the inside of the adapter groove 22 with the cooperation of the adapter block 82 and the connecting shaft, and the short shafts at both ends of it can be slid into the inside of the upward extension of the rear end of the slide groove 23. By continuing to lift the control handle 81, the storage box 1 and the several knives stored inside can be lifted with the cooperation of the protective cover 2 and the adapter component 9.

[0033] After placing the storage box 1, moving the control handle 81 forward will disengage the positioning rod 97 from the positioning groove 93. Then, lifting the control handle 81 will allow the short shafts at both ends to slide into the interior of the upwardly extending part at the front end of the slide groove 23. Continuing to lift the control handle 81 will cause the protective cover 2 to rise, which, in conjunction with the scissor lift frame 3, will move several storage trays 4 upward to the top of the storage box 1, increasing the distance between adjacent storage trays 4. This will cause the pressure airbag 5 to disengage from the knife inside the storage groove 6, allowing any knife to be retrieved.
