Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent tool and equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent toolbox. Background Technology
[0002] Tool boxes, as devices used for storing, carrying, and managing various manual or power tools, are widely used in industrial manufacturing, construction and decoration, and home repair. Drilling toolboxes, as a typical example of professional toolboxes, are usually used to store drill bits of different sizes and their accessories. Traditional drilling toolboxes often adopt a split design, consisting of a box body and an openable lid. The lid has internal slots or clips to secure the drill bit shank, allowing users to quickly select the required drill bit size.
[0003] Existing drilling toolboxes generally rely on slot structures on the inner wall of the cover to secure drill bits. Specifically, drill bits of different diameters are secured by inserting their shanks into pre-set elastic or fixed slots within the cover, utilizing the friction between the slots and the drill bits. For example, some toolboxes use a circular array layout, arranging drill bits in order of diameter within the slots on the cover; users must rotate or press the cover in a specific direction to access the drill bits. However, this type of slot structure has poor adaptability to drill bit diameters, typically requiring dedicated slots for different drill bit sizes, thus complicating the cover structure. Furthermore, existing slots are mostly made of hard plastic or metal, lacking elastic adjustment capabilities, further exacerbating the mechanical interference problem between the drill bits and the slots. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is the inconvenience of picking up and putting down drill bits, and provides an intelligent toolbox that facilitates the picking up and putting down of drill bits.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an intelligent toolbox, including a placement box, a top cover, electric slide rails, a placement box, control switches, a storage battery, and a clamping assembly. The placement box is hinged to the top cover. The top cover has several grooves for placing drill bits. Electric slide rails are installed on both sides of each groove. The placement box is slidably connected between the left and right electric slide rails. A clamping assembly for clamping drill bits is provided at the bottom of the placement box. The top cover has a storage battery installed inside. The storage battery is wired to all electric slide rails. The top cover has several control switches installed above each groove. Each control switch is connected to the circuit of the storage battery and the two electric slide rails in that groove.
[0006] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the clamping assembly includes a pressing plate, a guide rod and a return spring. Two pressing plates are slidably connected to the bottom of each placement box. The guide rod is fixedly connected to one pressing plate and slidably connected to the other pressing plate. A return spring is sleeved on the guide rod. The two ends of the return spring are respectively connected to the two pressing plates. An inclined surface is provided on the side of the two pressing plates that are separated from each other, and the inclined surface is pressed and engaged with the top cover.
[0007] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: it also includes a pressure sensor and a control box. The pressure sensor is installed at the bottom of the box, and the control box is installed inside the top cover. The pressure sensor is wired to the control box, and the control box is wired to all control switches.
[0008] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes a sealing gasket, and a sealing gasket is connected to the charging port of the battery.
[0009] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes identification cards, with an identification card pasted on the top of each groove on the top cover.
[0010] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes a dustproof pad, and a dustproof pad is provided on the outside of each groove of the top cover.
[0011] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes a lighting lamp, and the lighting lamp is installed inside the top cover.
[0012] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes a protective pad, and an extrusion plate is provided in each groove of the top cover, with a protective pad connected to the adjacent side of the plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: by cooperating with the electric slide rail and the placement box, the electric slide rail drives the placement box to slide along the slide rail after receiving the control switch signal, so that the drill bit automatically moves out of or retracts into the groove with the placement box, realizing the one-click pop-out and retraction function of the drill bit, which significantly improves the work efficiency; through the elastic adaptive mechanism of the clamping component, when the placement box moves, the separation and squeezing action of the inclined surface of the extrusion plate from the inner wall of the top cover triggers the extension and retraction of the reset spring, so that the clamping space automatically expands or shrinks. The flexible clamping of the drill bit by the elastic protective pad not only avoids damage to the coating of the drill bit, but also ensures clamping stability and extends the service life of the tool.

[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0022] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the toolbox, as follows:
[0023] A smart toolbox, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a placement box 1, a top cover 2, electric slide rails 3, a placement box 4, control switches 5, a battery 6, and a clamping assembly. The placement box 1 is hinged to the top cover 2. The top cover 2 has several grooves for placing drill bits. To better utilize space, the length and width of each groove are not exactly the same. Electric slide rails 3 are installed on the left and right sides of each groove, and the placement box 4 is slidably connected between the slide rails. The battery 6 is integrated into the top cover 2 to power all the electric slide rails 3. Several control switches 5 are installed on the top cover 2, located above each groove, and each control switch 5 is connected to the circuit of the battery 6 and the two electric slide rails 3 in that groove. The bottom of the placement box 4 has a clamping assembly for holding the drill bits. When the operator presses the control switch 5 above the groove, the battery 6 supplies power to the electric slide rails 3 on both sides of the groove, driving the placement box 4 to slide outward at a uniform speed along the slide rails. As the placement box 4 moves outward, the drill bit shank is exposed in the opening area of the placement box 4.
[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a pressing plate 7, a guide rod 8, and a return spring 9. Two pressing plates 7 are slidably connected to the bottom of each placement box 4. One end of the guide rod 8 is fixedly connected to the right pressing plate 7, and the other end passes through the left pressing plate 7 and slides in cooperation with it. The return spring 9 is sleeved on the guide rod 8, with both ends abutting against the pressing plates 7 on both sides. An inclined surface is provided on the side of the two pressing plates 7 that is separated from each other, and the inclined surface presses against the top cover 2. When the placement box 4 slides outward, the outer inclined surface of the pressing plate 7 gradually detaches from the constraint of the inner wall of the top cover 2. The return spring 9, due to the loss of external pressure, begins to rebound, pushing the two pressing plates 7 to slide in opposite directions along the guide rod 8, allowing the operator to directly grasp the drill bit shank. When the placement box 4 slides inward, the outer inclined surface of the pressing plate 7 gradually contacts the inner wall of the top cover 2. As the slide rail continues to advance, the pressing force of the inner wall of the top cover 2 on the inclined surface forces the two pressing plates 7 to move towards each other along the guide rod 8, clamping the drill bit.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a pressure sensor 10 and a control box 11. The pressure sensor 10 is installed at the bottom of the placement box 4, and the control box 11 is installed inside the top cover 2. The pressure sensor 10 is wired to the control box 11, and the control box 11 is wired to all control switches 5. When returning the drill bit, the operator places the drill bit vertically into the placement box 4. The weight of the drill bit triggers the bottom pressure sensor 10, which transmits a pressure signal to the control box 11 in real time. The control box 11 determines that the drill bit has been returned to its position based on preset logic and then sends a closing command to the corresponding control switch 5. At this time, the battery 6 supplies power to the electric slide rail 3 again, driving the placement box 4 to retract inward.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a sealing gasket 12. The charging port of the battery 6 is connected to the sealing gasket 12. When charging, the silicone sealing gasket 12 is pulled out. Its internal umbrella-shaped structure scrapes off the oxide layer of the charging interface during the insertion and removal process. After insertion, it achieves IP54 dustproof and waterproof rating through interference fit.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an identification card 13. Each groove on the top cover 2 is affixed with an identification card 13. The identification card 13, printed with fluorescent ink, will continue to glow for 8 hours in a low-light environment, displaying key parameters such as drill bit diameter and applicable material.
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, it also includes a dustproof pad 14. Each groove on the top cover 2 is provided with a dustproof pad 14. After the placement box 4 is fully retracted, the flexible dustproof pad 14 on the outer edge of the groove returns to a straight state due to its own elasticity, completely covering the groove opening gap. Its corrugated structure made of TPU material can maintain its shape memory function after multiple bends, ensuring that it can still effectively prevent dust from entering the groove after long-term use.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a lighting lamp 15. The lighting lamp 15 is installed inside the top cover 2. When the opening angle of the top cover 2 exceeds 30°, the built-in gravity sensor automatically turns on the LED lighting lamp 15, and the beam is focused on the area of the grooved identification card 13.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a protective pad 16. Each groove of the top cover 2 is provided with an extrusion plate 7, and each adjacent side of the extrusion plate 7 is connected to a protective pad 16. During the clamping process, the diamond-patterned protective pad 16 on the inner side of the extrusion plate 7 increases the friction coefficient to improve the clamping stability, while avoiding direct contact between the metal extrusion plate 7 and the drill bit to prevent scratches.
[0031] After arriving at the construction site with their toolboxes, the workers open the top cover 2, select the appropriate drill bit according to the diameter of the hole, check the information recorded on the identification card 13, locate the groove where the target drill bit is placed, and press the control switch 5. The electric slide rail 3 in the groove drives the placement box 4 to slide outward. The placement box 4 squeezes the flexible dustproof pad 14 and bends it to both sides. During the outward movement of the placement box 4, the outer inclined surface of the extrusion plate 7 separates from the top cover 2. The return spring 9 rebounds and pushes the extrusion plate 7 to slide to both sides. The clamping space between the two extrusion plates 7 expands, and the drill bit naturally loosens due to gravity. The workers can directly pick up the drill bit and take out the impact drill from the placement box 1. After completing the installation of the drill bit, the punching work is carried out.
[0032] After the punching work is completed, the drill bit is removed and the impact drill is placed in the placement box 1. The drill bit is placed in the placement box 4. After the pressure sensor 10 at the bottom of the placement box 4 receives pressure, it sends a signal to the control box 11. After receiving the pressure signal, the control box 11 directly sends a retraction command to the electric slide rail 3 of the groove, driving the placement box 4 to slide inward. This causes the electric slide rail 3 to drive the placement box 4 to slide into the top cover 2. After the inclined surface of the extrusion plate 7 is pressed against the top cover 2, it presses the drill bit in the middle, compressing the return spring 9. The guide rod 8 ensures that the extrusion plate 7 will not completely detach. The protective pad 16 on the adjacent side of the extrusion plate 7 can fully compress the drill bit while protecting the surface quality of the extrusion plate 7. After the placement box 4 is completely inserted into the top cover 2, the flexible dustproof pad 14 automatically resets and seals the groove. Finally, the top cover 2 is fastened.
