[0022] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-6As shown, a combined substation maintenance tool storage rack includes a base plate 1. Several casters 2 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 1, symmetrically distributed about the center line of the base plate 1. The casters 2 facilitate the overall operation of the equipment. Two fixing rods 3 are fixed on the upper surface of the base plate 1, symmetrically distributed about the center line of the base plate 1. A placement groove 4 is formed through the side of each fixing rod 3 closest to it. Several fixing grooves 5 are formed on the front of the fixing rod 3 corresponding to the placement groove 4, linearly distributed along the edge of the fixing rod 3. A limit plate 6 is provided inside the placement groove 4 corresponding to the fixing groove 5. A connecting plate 7 is fixed to the side of the limit plate 6 corresponding to the fixing rod 3. A U-shaped plate 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting plate 7 away from the fixing rod 3. A corresponding U-shaped plate 8 is provided between the two fixing rods 3. The first connecting rod 9, the second connecting rod 10, the third connecting rod 11, and the fourth connecting rod 12 are distributed vertically along the side line of the fixed rod 3. The first connecting rod 9, the second connecting rod 10, the third connecting rod 11, and the fourth connecting rod 12 are fixed inside the equipment by the U-shaped plate 8. At the same time, the staff can assemble the equipment according to the specific needs of the substation. The first connecting rod 9, the second connecting rod 10, the third connecting rod 11, and the fourth connecting rod 12 can freely assemble the equipment to meet different needs during substation maintenance. During the assembly of the equipment, the limiting plate 6 allows the connecting plate 7 to quickly reach the appropriate position. When the staff maintains the substation, the casters 2 drive the entire equipment to move, thereby improving the overall flexibility of the equipment.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting rod 9 is located at the lower end of the fixed rod 3. Several support plates 13 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the first connecting rod 9. The support plates 13 are linearly distributed along the edge of the first connecting rod 9. A storage box 14 is provided above the support plate 13. A card plate 15 corresponding to the limiting plate 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the storage box 14. A groove 16 is opened on the bottom surface of the card plate 15. An embedded plate 17 is fixedly installed on the side of the support plate 13 corresponding to the groove 16. The groove 16 and the embedded plate 17 adopt an interference fit, and the fit tolerance is 1mm-2mm. The fastening force generated by the interference fit can prevent the storage box 14 and the limiting plate 6 from relative displacement due to vibration, prevent the storage box 14 from falling, and ensure tool safety. This tolerance range ensures tight connection and reduces installation difficulty. No special tools or complex processes are required, saving installation costs and time. When assembling the equipment, the staff can mark the storage box in advance to facilitate quick location of the required materials during operation.

[0025] like Figure 4As shown, the second connecting rod 10 is located above the first connecting rod 9. A storage plate 18 is fitted on the outer surface of the second connecting rod 10. The storage plate 18 is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 10 by bolts. Several through grooves 19 are opened through the bottom surface of the inner wall of the storage plate 18. The through grooves 19 are evenly distributed on the surface of the storage plate 18. Workers can place maintenance tools that need to be laid flat or layered, such as wrenches and screwdrivers. The through grooves 19 on the bottom surface of the inner wall can allow the tools to be ventilated when placed, preventing them from rusting due to moisture and other reasons. It also makes it easy to clean up debris. The through grooves 19 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the storage plate 18, which plays the role of ventilation, drainage and easy cleaning, ensuring that the tools placed on the storage plate 18 are kept in good condition.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the third connecting rod 11 is located above the second connecting rod 10. A perforated plate 21 is fixedly installed on the front of the third connecting rod 11. Hooks are provided inside the perforated plate 21, which allows for flexible placement of tools. Different hanging positions can be selected according to the shape and size of the tools, making tool storage more flexible and diverse.

[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, the fourth connecting rod 12 is located at the top of the fixed rod 3. Several L-shaped rods 22 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the fourth connecting rod 12. The L-shaped rods 22 are linearly distributed along the edge of the fourth connecting rod 12. Large tools are usually large in size and occupy a lot of space. The L-shaped rods are set on the fourth connecting rod 12 at a higher position on the storage rack, which can make full use of the vertical space and suspend large tools that may originally occupy a lot of plane space, such as long cables and large ropes. This allows the storage rack to classify and store multiple tools in a limited space, thus improving the space utilization rate.

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the fixed groove 5 is equipped with an insertion rod 23, which is inserted into the fixed groove 5 to fix the limiting plate 6 and other components, ensuring that they will not be displaced during operation, thus ensuring the structural stability of the storage rack and the safety of the stored items.

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, buffer pads 24 are fixedly installed on both the upper and lower sides of the limiting plate 6. When assembling the equipment, the buffer pads 24 buffer the impact generated by the contact of the two limiting plates 6 to prevent damage to the limiting plates 6. At the same time, after the buffer pads 24 deform, they can increase the friction between the limiting plate 6 and the placement groove 4, thereby further improving the stability of the limiting plate 6.

[0030] Working principle: Based on past maintenance issues and the size of the substation, the staff assembles the equipment and selects the corresponding storage mechanism. First, multiple limiting plates 6 are placed in the placement slot 4 and fixed with the insertion rod 23. Then, the first connecting rod 9, the second connecting rod 10, the third connecting rod 11, and the fourth connecting rod 12 are placed in the U-shaped plate 8 in sequence. When assembling the first connecting rod 9, the support plate 13 is directly connected to the insertion plate. The support plate 13 and the insertion plate are connected to the embedded plate 17 through the groove 16. When using the equipment, the staff pushes the equipment, and the casters 2 facilitate the overall movement of the equipment.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
