Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool cabinet technology, and in particular to a tool cabinet with a tool lifting function. Background Technology
[0002] A tool cabinet is a storage device that integrates storage, management, and retrieval functions. It is widely used in industries such as machining, automobile manufacturing, and aerospace where cutting tools are used frequently. The storage of cutting tools makes them easy for workers to access and use.
[0003] In existing technology, the tool storage box in the tool cabinet is installed in a fixed position, meaning its position and angle remain unchanged after the tool cabinet is installed. When working at a slightly higher position, there is a certain height difference between the worker and the tool cabinet. When needing to retrieve a tool, because the tool storage box is fixed and relatively low, it is difficult for the worker to reach it directly from a higher position. They have to take some extra actions that pose safety hazards, such as bending over, squatting, or risking leaning out to reach the tool. This not only significantly reduces work efficiency, as workers need to spend extra time and energy overcoming the obstacle to retrieve the tool, but also greatly increases the risk of accidents, such as losing balance and falling from a height, posing a serious threat to the personal safety of workers. Therefore, there is a need to improve the tool cabinet by introducing a tool lifting function to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a tool cabinet with a tool lifting function, including a cabinet body 1, a cabinet door 4, and casters 5. It also includes a first mounting shell 21 and a storage mechanism. The cabinet door 4 is rotatably connected to the cabinet body 1, and the casters 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 is provided with a storage mechanism for storing tools. The first mounting shell 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet body 1. A handle 22 is rotatably connected to the first mounting shell 21. A bidirectional threaded rod 23 is fixedly connected to the back of the handle 22. The bidirectional threaded rod 23 is rotatably connected to the inside of the first mounting shell 21. A first slider 24 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 23. The first slider 24 is slidably connected to the inside of the first mounting shell 21. A scissor lift 25 for lifting the tool is rotatably connected to the first slider 24. The scissor lift 25 is located away from the first mounting shell 21. One end of a slider 24 is rotatably connected to a second slider 26. A limit rod 27 is provided on the second slider 26, and a second mounting shell 28 is fixedly connected to the limit rod 27. A knife box 29 for storing knives is fixedly connected to the top of the second mounting shell 28. The knife to be used is placed inside the knife box 29. Then, the handle 22 is turned to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 23. The bidirectional threaded rod 23 drives the first slider 24. The first slider 24 drives the scissor lift 25. The scissor lift 25 drives the second slider 26. The second slider 26 drives the second mounting shell 28 through the limit rod 27. The second mounting shell 28 drives the knife box 29, causing the knife box 29 to rise and be at a suitable height, making it easy to retrieve knives when working at height. The position of the cabinet 1 can be flexibly moved by the universal casters 5 with self-locking function.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the second mounting shell 28 and the first mounting shell 21 are respectively provided with grooves at corresponding positions of the second slider 26 and the first slider 24, and the second slider 26 and the first slider 24 slide inside the grooves. The second slider 26 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 27. The grooves limit the first slider 24 and the second slider 26, thereby preventing the first slider 24 and the second slider 26 from shifting, ensuring stable and smooth movement, and making the lifting and lowering smoother. A support frame 210 is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 1. A limiting frame 211 adapted to the knife box 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 210. A perforated plate 212 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting frame 211. A sliding plate 213 is slidably connected to the limiting frame 211. An inclined plate 214 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding plate 213. The bottom of the sliding plate 213 is fixedly connected to... A mounting plate 215 is provided, and a first spring 216 is fixedly connected between the mounting plate 215 and the limiting frame 211 to reset the sliding plate 213. The sliding plate 213 and the limiting frame 211 form a closed storage space, which facilitates the storage of small parts for easy access. The limiting frame 211 has a limiting groove at the corresponding position of the tool box 29, and the tool box 29 is placed inside the limiting groove. The limiting groove can position the tool box 29, so that after the tool box 29 is lowered into the limiting groove, the limiting frame 211 can support the tool box 29, thereby preventing the scissor lift 25 from being subjected to force for a long time. The limiting frame 211 has a storage cavity, and the inclined plate 214 contacts the inner wall of the storage cavity. The sliding plate 213 is used to close the storage cavity. By closing the storage cavity with the sliding plate 213, small parts can be prevented from flying out and falling.
[0025] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 In this embodiment, the storage mechanism includes a guide rail 31, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the cabinet 1. A storage box 32 for storing tools is slidably connected to the guide rail 31. A limiting piece 33 is slidably connected to the storage box 32. A second spring 34 is fixedly connected between the limiting piece 33 and the storage box 32. A ball 35 for increasing friction is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting piece 33. The ball 35 is engaged with the guide rail 31. Larger tools are stored in the storage box 32. The pull-out storage box 32 makes it easy to retrieve tools. The guide rail 31 has a through hole at the corresponding position of the ball 35, and the ball 35 is engaged inside the through hole. By increasing friction with the ball 35, the position of the storage box 32 can be flexibly positioned. When the storage box 32 is pulled out to a certain extent, the ball 35 can position the storage box 32 by friction.
[0026] During operation, the tool to be used is placed inside the tool holder 29. Then, the handle 22 is turned to drive the double-threaded rod 23, which in turn drives the first slider 24. The first slider 24 drives the scissor lift 25, which in turn drives the second slider 26. The second slider 26, via the limit rod 27, drives the second mounting shell 28, which in turn drives the tool holder 29. Raising the tool holder 29 allows the tool to be used to be lifted to a suitable height. Pushing the inclined plate 214 then drives the sliding plate 213, which in turn drives the mounting plate 214. The mounting plate 215 and the scissor lift 25 stretch the first spring 216. The first spring 216 is used to reset the slide plate 213. The storage cavity of the limiting frame 211 can be closed by the slide plate 213 for placing smaller parts. The storage box 32 is pulled to slide on the guide rail 31. The storage box 32 drives the locking ball 35 through the limiting plate 33. The locking ball 35 is squeezed by the through hole and pushes the limiting plate 33. The limiting plate 33 compresses the second spring 34. The second spring 34 pushes the locking ball 35 into the through hole. The position of the storage box 32 can be positioned by the locking ball 35.
[0027] Through the above steps, the tool box 29 is positioned at a suitable height, making it more convenient for workers at heights to access tools without risking their lives. It can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the work environment, thus solving the problem of fixed-position installation of tool storage boxes in tool cabinets, where the position and angle remain unchanged after the tool cabinet is installed.
