Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of supporting storage device technology, and in particular to an integrated supporting storage structure for lightweight testing equipment in smart factories. Background Technology

[0002] With modernization, smart factories are becoming increasingly widespread. More and more intelligent equipment is being used in production and processing. When using smart equipment, debugging, verification, and testing are crucial parts of daily maintenance and repair. Currently, portable handheld testing terminals are often used to connect to the equipment, read its parameters, and achieve plug-and-play testing, greatly improving convenience. Most testing terminals are similar in size to tablets or laptops, and can be carried in a storage box or handbag. When in use, they are placed on the ground or an external table. However, placing them on the ground is inconvenient due to their low position, while placing them on a table requires carrying the table with you, which is also inconvenient. This adds a certain degree of inconvenience to the use of the testing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the technical defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides an integrated support and storage structure for lightweight testing equipment in smart factories, which facilitates the carrying of the testing equipment and provides convenient support and placement for the testing equipment during use.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an integrated support and storage structure for lightweight testing equipment in intelligent factories, including an upper box and a lower box. The upper box and the lower box are rotatably connected at one end, and connected at the other end by a latch. The lower box has a storage slot for storing the testing equipment, and the upper box has a placement slot for placing accessories and cables. A baffle plate is symmetrically slidably engaged with one side of the placement slot inside the upper box. Telescopic legs are symmetrically rotatably mounted on the outer sides of both the upper and lower boxes. A handle is engaged at the middle of the ends of the upper and lower boxes. When carrying, the telescopic legs are first retracted, then the handle is engaged at the middle of the ends of the upper and lower boxes. The testing equipment is placed inside the storage slot on the lower box, and the accessories and cables are placed in the placement slot. The baffle plate covers the placement slot. The upper box is then rotated to cover the upper part of the lower box, and a latch connects the upper and lower boxes, forming a box shape. The handle allows for storage and transport. When testing in a smart factory, the upper and lower boxes are unfolded, and the handle is removed from their ends and engaged at the rotatable connection point. The four telescopic legs then extend to support the upper and lower boxes, forming a table shape. Pulling the baffle plate increases the placement area and facilitates access to components and cables inside the placement slot. The testing equipment, components, and cables inside the storage slot connect to the device under test, facilitating testing.

[0005] Preferably, a first clip is fixedly installed at the middle position of the ends of the upper box and the lower box, and both ends of the handle are clipped onto the first clip. The handle has a U-shaped structure. When carrying, the two handles are respectively clipped onto the first clips on the upper box and the lower box, making it convenient to carry the whole thing through the handles.

[0006] Preferably, a second locking element is fixedly installed on both sides of the upper and lower housings near the rotatable connection position. The end of the handle matches the second locking element on the upper and lower housings. When the upper and lower housings are unfolded, the handle is disengaged from the first locking element, and both ends of the handle are respectively locked into the second locking elements on the upper and lower housings. This prevents the upper and lower housings from folding at the rotatable connection position, so that the upper and lower housings form a flat plate state to support the testing equipment.

[0007] Preferably, both ends of the handle are fixedly installed with T-shaped locking blocks, which fit into the first locking piece and the second locking piece. The locking blocks facilitate the engagement of the handle with the first locking piece or the second locking piece, making it convenient to install the handle.

[0008] Preferably, the upper housing has sliding grooves on both sides of the placement slot, and the shielding plate is slidably engaged in the sliding groove. The sliding groove facilitates the shielding plate to slide above the placement slot, thereby facilitating the shielding of items inside the placement slot. When pulled open, the area of ​​the upper surface is increased, expanding the range for placing items.

[0009] Preferably, the upper housing and the lower housing have insertion slots on their outer sides. An extension plate is slidably inserted into the insertion slot, and rubber strips are fixedly installed at both ends of the extension plate. One side of the rubber strip is pressed against the inner wall of the insertion slot. When carrying the testing equipment, the extension plate is inserted into the insertion slot, and the rubber strips increase the friction between the extension plate and the insertion slot. In use, the extension plate is pulled out from the insertion slot to increase the overall surface area, making it easier to place items.

[0010] Preferably, the upper and lower boxes are symmetrically provided with grooves on their exteriors. The telescopic legs are rotatably mounted inside the grooves, and a rubber block is fixedly installed at the end of each telescopic leg. The width of the rubber block is the same as the width of the groove. The grooves facilitate the storage of the telescopic legs during transport, and the friction between the rubber block and the groove prevents the telescopic legs from rotating on their own.

[0011] Preferably, a damping hinge is fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic leg, and one end of the damping hinge is fixedly connected to one end of the inside of the groove. The telescopic leg is rotatably connected to the upper box and the lower box respectively through the damping hinge. The damping hinge improves the stability during storage and support.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by adopting an upper box and a lower box, it is convenient to store and carry the testing equipment and accessories, and convenient to store them. When in use, by unfolding the four telescopic legs, the upper box and the lower box can form a tabletop, which is convenient for operating and using the testing equipment. Furthermore, the shielding plate and extension plate can be used to increase the placement area when supported, making it convenient for using the testing equipment in a smart factory.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0021] like Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated support and storage structure for lightweight testing equipment in a smart factory, including an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2. The upper housing 1 and lower housing 2 are rotatably connected at one end, and connected at the other end by a latch. The lower housing 2 has a storage slot 3 for storing the testing equipment inside, and the upper housing 1 has a placement slot 4 for placing accessories and cables inside. A baffle 5 is symmetrically slidably attached to one side of the placement slot 4 inside the upper housing 1. Telescopic legs 6 are symmetrically rotatably mounted on the outer side of both the upper housing 1 and lower housing 2. A handle 7 is attached to the middle of the ends of the upper housing 1 and lower housing 2. When carrying, the telescopic legs 6 are first retracted, then the handle 7 is attached to the middle of the ends of the upper housing 1 and lower housing 2. The testing equipment is placed inside the storage slot 3 on the lower housing 2, and the accessories and cables are placed in the placement slot 4. The baffle 5 covers the placement slot 4, preventing the accessories from being damaged. If cables are exposed or fallen, rotate the upper box 1 to cover the upper end of the lower box 2. Connect the upper box 1 and lower box 2 with a latch to form a box shape. The handle 7 facilitates storage and carrying. When testing in a smart factory, unfold the upper box 1 and lower box 2, remove the handle 7 from their ends, and snap it into place at the rotatable connection point to prevent folding. Then unfold the telescopic legs 6 to support the upper box 1 and lower box 2, forming a table shape. Pull the cover 5 to increase the storage area and facilitate access to accessories and cables inside the storage slot 4. Connect the testing equipment, accessories, and cables inside the storage slot 3 to the device under test for easy testing without needing a separate table for support, making it convenient to carry and use.

[0022] As a technical optimization solution of this utility model, specifically as follows: Figure 3As shown, a first latch 8 is fixedly installed at the middle of the ends of the upper box 1 and the lower box 2. Both ends of the handle 7 are latched onto the first latch 8, and the handle 7 has a U-shaped structure. Through the first latch 8, when carrying, the two handles 7 are respectively latched onto the first latch 8 on the upper box 1 and the lower box 2. When the upper box 1 and the lower box 2 are connected by a locking mechanism, the two handles 7 block each other, preventing the handles 7 from detaching from the first latch 8, thus facilitating carrying the entire assembly through the handles 7. Second latches 9 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper box 1 and the lower box 2 near the rotating connection points. The ends of the handles 7 are connected to the second latches on the upper box 1 and the lower box 2. When the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are unfolded, the handle 7 is disengaged from the first locking piece 8, and the two ends of the handle 7 are respectively locked into the second locking pieces 9 on the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. This prevents the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 from folding through the rotating connection position, so that the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 form a flat state, which is convenient for supporting the test equipment. Both ends of the handle 7 are fixedly installed with T-shaped locking blocks 10. The locking blocks 10 match the first locking piece 8 and the second locking piece 9. The T-shaped locking blocks 10 facilitate the locking between the handle 7 and the first locking piece 8 or the second locking piece 9, making it convenient to install the handle 7.

[0023] As a technical optimization solution of this utility model, specifically as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the upper box 1 has sliding grooves 11 on both sides of the placement slot 4. The baffle 5 is slidably engaged in the sliding groove 11. The sliding groove 11 facilitates the sliding of the baffle 5 above the placement slot 4, thereby making it easier to cover the items inside the placement slot 4 and prevent them from falling out. When pulled open, it increases the area of ​​the upper surface, increases the range of items that can be placed, and makes it easier to use.

[0024] As a technical optimization solution of this utility model, specifically as follows: Figure 4 As shown, an insertion slot 12 is provided on the outer side of the upper box 1 and the lower box 2. An extension plate 13 is slidably inserted into the insertion slot 12, and rubber strips 14 are fixedly installed at both ends of the extension plate 13. One side of the rubber strip 14 is pressed against the inner wall of the insertion slot 12. When carrying the test equipment, the extension plate 13 is inserted into the insertion slot 12, and the rubber strip 14 increases the friction between the extension plate 13 and the insertion slot 12, thereby preventing it from extending outward on its own. In use, by pulling the extension plate 13 out from the insertion slot 12, the overall surface area is further increased, making it easier to place items.

[0025] As a technical optimization solution of this utility model, specifically as follows: Figure 4As shown, the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 have symmetrically arranged grooves 15 on their exteriors. Telescopic legs 6 are rotatably mounted inside the grooves 15, and rubber blocks 16 are fixedly installed at the ends of the telescopic legs 6. The width of the rubber blocks 16 is the same as the width of the grooves 15. The grooves 15 facilitate the storage of the telescopic legs 6 during transport. The friction between the rubber blocks 16 and the grooves 15 prevents the telescopic legs 6 from rotating on their own. When the telescopic legs 6 are extended, the rubber blocks 16 contact the ground, improving slip resistance during support. One end of the telescopic leg 6 is fixedly installed with a damping hinge 17. One end of the damping hinge 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the inside of the groove 15. The telescopic leg 6 is rotatably connected to the upper box 1 and the lower box 2 respectively through the damping hinge 17. The damping hinge 17 improves the stability when storing and supporting. The telescopic leg 6 adopts a sleeve and rod structure. The sleeve has pin holes arranged in an array. One end of the rod is equipped with a spring buckle, which is engaged inside the pin hole. By adjusting the length of the rod inserted into the sleeve, the support height can be adjusted, making it convenient for use in different working conditions.
