[0037] like Figure 1-9As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a tool management cabinet. The tool management cabinet includes a cabinet frame body 1, on which are provided a plurality of storage cabinets 2. Each storage cabinet 2 is equipped with a cabinet door 3, and each storage cabinet 2 is equipped with a door lock 4 inside. Two adjacent cabinet doors 3 are arranged on the same side, and two adjacent door locks 4 are arranged on the same side. Each cabinet door 3 engages with the door lock 4 on the corresponding storage cabinet 2 to close the storage cabinet 2. The storage cabinet 2 can be used to accommodate tools with small height. A removable partition 5 is provided between two adjacent storage cabinets 2. By removing the partition 5, the two adjacent storage cabinets 2 form a combined storage cabinet 6. The height of the combined storage cabinet 6 is greater than the height of the storage cabinet 2. The combined storage cabinet 6 can be used to accommodate tools with large height. A cabinet door connector 7 is installed between two adjacent cabinet doors 3. The cabinet door connector 7 can connect the two adjacent cabinet doors 3 to form a combined cabinet door 8. The combined cabinet door 8 engages with any door lock 4 of the combined storage cabinet 6 to close the combined storage cabinet 6. In this embodiment, the tool management cabinet has a removable partition 5 between the upper and lower storage cabinets 2, and cabinet door connectors 7 are provided on the upper and lower cabinet doors 3. When higher-sized storage is required, the partition 5 can be removed first, and then the cabinet door connectors 7 can be installed. At least two storage cabinets 2 can be connected, so as to accommodate tools of higher height and meet different tool management needs.
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cabinet frame body 1 is a frame structure, enclosed by a column frame mounting side panels, back panel, and bottom panel. Multiple longitudinal dividing columns 9 are provided on the cabinet frame body 1, dividing the front of the cabinet frame body 1 into four horizontally equidistant vertical frames. Each vertical frame is provided with multiple horizontal dividing columns 10, which divide the vertical frame into storage cabinets 2 of equal vertical height. A partition panel 5 is installed between each adjacent storage cabinet 2. The partition panel 5 can be fastened to the side of the longitudinal dividing column 9 with screws, separating two adjacent storage cabinets 2. This allows the knife management cabinet to have numerous small-sized storage cabinets 2 to hold different types of knives. In this embodiment, each storage cabinet 2 is equipped with a cabinet door 3, which is rotatably connected to the longitudinal column via a pivot or hinge. All cabinet doors 3 on the same vertical frame are installed on the same side, ensuring that the opening direction of each cabinet door 3 is consistent. Specifically, the hinges or pivots of the cabinet doors 3 on the same vertical frame are all installed on the left or right side of the vertical dividing column 9. In this embodiment, a door lock 4 is installed on the inside of each storage cabinet 2, and the door lock 4 is installed on the same side as the cabinet door 3, that is, each door lock 4 is installed opposite to the hinge or pivot of the cabinet door 3. Preferably, the front end of the door lock 4 has a locking hook (not shown), and the inner side of the cabinet door 3 has a locking buckle 23, which engages with the locking hook to lock the cabinet door 3. When the cabinet door 3 is engaged with the door lock 4, the storage cabinet 2 can be sealed, so that the knife management cabinet will not cause the loss of knives and facilitates the user's management of knives.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the storage cabinet 2, without removing the partition 5, can accommodate knives no taller than the cabinet itself; that is, the storage cabinet 2 is suitable for storing knives with short heights. If a knife exceeds the height of the storage cabinet 2, it cannot be placed inside. Therefore, the partition 5 needs to be removed first, so that two adjacent storage cabinets 2 form a combined storage cabinet 6. The height of the combined storage cabinet 6 is at least equal to the height of two storage cabinets 2, thus accommodating taller knives. If an even taller knife is needed, another partition 5 can be removed downwards, allowing three consecutive storage cabinets 2 to form a combined storage cabinet 6. The height of the combined storage cabinet 6 is equal to the height of three storage cabinets 2, accommodating even taller knives and meeting different knife management needs. Users do not need to purchase or design additional knife management cabinets of other specifications. In this embodiment, after removing the partition panel 5, the cabinet door connector 7 is installed on the adjacent cabinet doors 3, so that the two adjacent cabinet doors 3 form a combined cabinet door 8. The combined cabinet door 8 can lock the combined storage cabinet 6 by engaging any of the door locks 4 in the combined storage cabinet 6, thus locking the combined storage cabinet 6 and facilitating the management of tools by the tool management cabinet.
[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a controller 11 is configured on the back of the cabinet frame 1, and the door lock 4 is an electric lock. The controller 11 is electrically connected to the electric lock and controls it to open. Specifically, to facilitate the management of different tools by the tool management cabinet, a controller 11 is configured on the back of the cabinet frame 1. The door lock 4 is an electric lock, and the controller 11 is electrically connected to the electric lock and controls it to perform the unlocking action. When the tool management cabinet receives an unlocking signal from the storage cabinet 2, the controller 11 sends an unlocking signal to the corresponding electric lock of the storage cabinet 2. When the electric lock receives the electrical signal, it unlocks and the cabinet door 3 can be ejected.
[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a camera 12 is installed on the upper part of the cabinet frame 1, and the controller 11 is electrically connected to the controller 11. The controller 11 acquires image information from the camera 12. Specifically, to facilitate the management of tools by the tool management cabinet, the tool management cabinet is also equipped with a camera 12 installed on the top of the cabinet frame 1. The camera 12 is electrically connected to the controller 11, and the controller 11 controls the camera 12 to perform shooting. When a user stores or retrieves a tool, the camera 12 captures and saves a real-time image of the stored or retrieved tool, which facilitates the tool management cabinet's traceability of the tool.
[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an interactive screen 13 is provided on the outer side of the cabinet frame 1. The interactive screen 13 is electrically connected to the controller 11, and the controller 11 receives input information from the interactive screen 13 to control the electric lock to open. The interactive screen 13 can input the tool information stored in any storage cabinet 2 or combined storage cabinet 6, and the tool information can be stored in the controller 11. Specifically, in order to facilitate the management of tools by the tool management cabinet, the tool management cabinet is also equipped with an interactive screen 13 installed on the side of the cabinet frame 1, and the interactive screen 13 is electrically connected to the controller 11. Users can input the tool information in any storage cabinet 2 through the interactive screen 13, and then store the corresponding tools. The tool information includes, but is not limited to, the specifications of the tool and the applicable machine tool, and the tool information can be stored in the memory of the controller 11 or the interactive screen 13 for the controller 11 to access at any time. When the user inputs the unlocking key of a certain storage cabinet 2 on the interactive screen 13, the controller 11 receives the unlocking signal of the storage cabinet 2, and then the controller 11 controls the corresponding electric lock to unlock.
[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom of the cabinet frame body 1 is provided with several casters 14. The casters 14 support the cabinet frame body 1 and facilitate the movement of the cabinet frame body 1. The casters 14 are equipped with adjustable ground brakes 15, which restrict the movement of the cabinet frame body 1. Specifically, to facilitate the movement and stability of the tool management cabinet, four casters 14 are symmetrically installed on the bottom of the cabinet frame body 1. Each caster 14 is equipped with a pulley 22, which allows the cabinet frame body 1 to be moved, thus enabling the tool management cabinet to be moved. Each caster 14 is equipped with a ground brake 15, which is adjustable in height. When the ground brake 15 is lowered to the ground, it restricts the movement of the cabinet frame body 1, thereby stabilizing the tool management cabinet. When it is necessary to move the tool management cabinet, the ground brake 15 is raised to the ground, allowing the tool management cabinet to be moved.
[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rear end of the partition panel 5 is provided with a plug-in portion 16, and the back side of the cabinet frame body 1 is provided with a plug-in groove 17. The plug-in portion 16 is inserted into the plug-in groove 17 for detachable installation. The front end of the partition panel 5 is provided with an extension portion 18, which extends towards the front of the cabinet frame body 1 and separates two adjacent cabinet doors 3. Specifically, in order to facilitate the detachable installation of the partition panel 5 between the storage cabinets 2, multiple plug-in grooves 17 are provided on the back side of the cabinet frame body 1, and one plug-in groove 17 is provided between each two adjacent storage cabinets 2. The rear end of the partition panel 5 is provided with a plug-in portion 16, which is inserted into the plug-in groove 17 for assembly. The front end of the partition panel 5 is provided with an extension 18, which extends towards the front of the cabinet frame body 1. When the two adjacent cabinet doors 3 are closed, the extension 18 is exactly between the gaps of the two cabinet doors 3, thus separating and filling the gaps. This improves the appearance quality of the tool management cabinet.
[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cabinet door connector 7 has several lifting lugs 19, and the cabinet door 3 has several threaded holes 20. Screws pass through the lifting lugs 19 and are fastened to the threaded holes 20. Specifically, to facilitate the management of excessively tall tools in the tool management cabinet, after disassembling the partition 5, two adjacent storage cabinets 2 become a taller combined storage cabinet 6. The two adjacent cabinet doors 3 are also integrated into a combined cabinet door 8 through the cabinet door connector 7. The cabinet door connector 7 is symmetrically provided with several lifting lugs 19, and the cabinet door 3 is fitted with several threaded holes 20. Screws are passed through the lifting lugs 19 and fastened to the threaded holes 20, making the two cabinet doors 3 merge into one, and making it more convenient to open and close the combined storage cabinet 6. In this embodiment, the combined cabinet door 8 has two latches 23, and the combined storage cabinet 6 has two corresponding electronic locks. When closing the combined cabinet door 8, the door can be closed as long as any set of latches 23 engages with the lock hook. Preferably, a decorative panel 21 is provided on the front side of the cabinet door connector 7. The decorative panel 21 can be installed by welding or riveting. The function of the decorative panel 21 is the same as that of the extension part 18 of the partition panel 5, which is to separate the two cabinet doors 3 and fill the gap, thereby improving the appearance quality of the knife management cabinet.
