[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-5. This utility model is a tool storage cart for a machining center, including a base plate 1; a lifting assembly is provided on the base plate 1; the lifting assembly includes a placement platform 17; holes are evenly spaced on the placement platform 17; a fixing rod 18 is fixedly connected inside the placement platform 17; multiple fixing rods 18 are provided and are evenly arranged inside the placement platform 17; a support block 13 is fixedly connected inside the placement platform 17, and the fixing rod 18 passes through the support block 13; a tension spring 22 is sleeved on the fixing rod 18; a fixing clamp 12 is slidably connected to the fixing rod 18.

[0026] The operator first pulls the fixing clamp 12 to slide it on the fixing rod 18. The sliding fixing clamp 12 will compress the tension spring 22. Then, the knife handle is inserted into the hole of the placement platform 17. The operator then releases the fixing clamp 12, and the tension spring 22 will release the pressure and push the fixing clamp 12 to clamp the knife handle. This is designed so that the knives placed on the placement platform 17 will not shake when the storage cart is moved, which would cause the knives to collide and be damaged. The operator can raise and lower the placement platform 17 according to the needs of the work to make it easier to retrieve and use the knives.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. Specifically, a sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement platform 17 corresponding to the hole; a compression spring 19 is fixedly connected inside the sleeve 11; a moving plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the compression spring 19; and a limiting post 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate 20. During operation, when the tool is inserted into the hole, the tool handle will contact the limiting post 21 inside the sleeve 11, causing the limiting post 21 to move the moving plate 20 into the sleeve 11, thus compressing the compression spring 19. When the fixing clamp 12 no longer holds the tool, the compression spring 19 will push the moving plate 20 and the limiting post 21 upwards in the opposite direction, causing the tool to disengage from the hole, making it easier for the operator to pick it up.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1, 3, and 5. Specifically, a first support rod 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1; four first support rods 5 are provided and are respectively arranged at the four corners of the top of the base plate 1; a second support rod 6 is slidably connected inside the first support rod 5; a placement platform 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the second support rod 6; during operation, the second support rod 6 slides inside the first support rod 5, and the first support rod 5 is provided with a buckle to prevent the second support rod 6 from slipping out of the first support rod 5. The sliding of the second support rod 6 will cause the placement platform 17 at the top to move.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1, 3, and 5. Specifically, a first fixing block 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 1; a second fixing block 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the placement platform 17; a rotating screw 15 is rotatably connected to the first fixing block 9, and the second fixing block 14 is threadedly connected to the rotating screw 15; a rotating handle 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating screw 15; during operation, the operator can hold the rotating handle 16 and rotate it as needed. The rotating handle 16 drives the rotating screw 15 to rotate, and the rotating screw 15 will cause the second fixing block 14 and the placement platform 17 to move up or down. This design makes it easier for the operator to pick up the tools.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3. Specifically, there are two support blocks 13, which are equidistantly arranged on the fixed rod 18. There are multiple tension springs 22, which are equidistantly arranged on the fixed rod 18. During operation, the two support blocks 13 divide the fixed rod 18 into three areas, so that the fixing clips 12 and tension springs 22 on one fixed rod 18 are also arranged into three groups. There are two tension springs 22 in each group. One tension spring 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement platform 17 at one end and fixedly connected to the fixing clip 12 at the other end. The other tension spring 22 is fixedly connected to the support block 13 at one end and fixedly connected to the fixing clip 12 at the other end.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1, 3, and 5. Specifically, the bottom of the base plate 1 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 2; four rotating shafts 2 are provided and are respectively arranged at the four corners of the base plate 1; a rotating block 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 2; a roller 4 is rotatably connected inside the rotating block 3; during operation, the entire storage cart is moved by the rotation of the roller 4 at the bottom of the base plate 1, and the rotating block 3 and the rotating shaft 2 can rotate, allowing the roller 4 to change direction.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 and 5. Specifically, a connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the first support rod 5. There are two connecting rods 7, which are respectively arranged on the first support rod 5. A handle 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 7 away from the first support rod 5. When working, the operator pushes the storage cart by holding the handle 8 or the connecting rod 7, so that the storage cart can be pushed forward by a thrust.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The operator first pulls the fixing clamp 12 to slide it on the fixing rod 18. The sliding fixing clamp 12 will compress the tension spring 22. Then, the knife handle is inserted into the hole of the placement platform 17. The operator then releases the fixing clamp 12, and the tension spring 22 will release the pressure and push the fixing clamp 12 to clamp the knife handle. This is designed so that the knives placed on the placement platform 17 will not shake when the storage cart is moved, which would cause the knives to collide and be damaged. The operator can raise and lower the placement platform 17 according to the needs of the work to make it easier to retrieve and use the knives.
