[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shelving technology, specifically a tool shelving. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, home repair, and other scenarios, the use of power tools is becoming increasingly widespread. However, power tools come in a wide variety of types and shapes, and without proper storage, the work area will become cluttered, the efficiency of tool retrieval will be reduced, and tools may even be damaged due to careless placement.

[0003] For example, the national authorized patent announcement number CN222270255U discloses a multi-functional tool storage rack, including a bottom frame and an upper frame. The bottom frame is equipped with multiple vertical storage holes, and the upper frame is equipped with a stand plate. The stand plate is equipped with a circular positioning hook, a straight hook, and a storage platform. The upper frame has multiple insertion holes on both sides. The multi-functional tool storage rack designed in this utility model has different functional tool placement areas on the outer frame for storing different types of tools. The tools are reasonably classified and can store a larger number of tools. The rack is equipped with directional wheels and omnidirectional wheels, which can be flexibly adjusted for fixed placement on the production site. It occupies little space and solves the problem of storing different tools for multiple products on the production line.

[0004] However, the aforementioned multi-functional tool rack lacks a flexible clamping and fixing structure when storing power tools of different sizes and shapes. It is difficult to adapt to the differences in the shape of various power tools, and the tools are prone to shaking or even falling off the rack. In addition, the convenience of taking tools out and putting them in needs to be improved, and it cannot well meet the user's needs for efficient and stable storage of power tools. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tool rack to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the lack of flexible clamping and fixing structure for different power tools, the easy shaking and falling of tools, and the lack of convenience in picking up and putting them away.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A tool storage rack includes: an L-shaped plate, with multiple sets of handwheels rotatably mounted on one end of the L-shaped plate's placement surface. Each set of handwheels has a connecting cylinder fixedly mounted on both ends of its outer surface. The two sets of connecting cylinders on each set of handwheels are inclined inwards and can be rotated to form a figure-eight or V-shape. Each set of connecting cylinders has a supporting mechanism slidably mounted inside it. The placement surface of the L-shaped plate is inclined at 30°.

[0007] Preferably, each set of handwheels is threaded with a wing bolt, and each set of wing bolts is threaded through the handwheel and threaded into the L-shaped plate placement surface.

[0008] Preferably, the supporting mechanism includes a guide post and a guide rail rod. The guide rail rod is fixedly installed inside the connecting cylinder, and the guide post is slidably installed on the outer surface of the guide rail rod and inside the connecting cylinder. A bracket is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the guide post.

[0009] Preferably, the bracket mounted on the outer surface of the guide post slides out from the guide rail opening, and the guide rail opening is connected to one end of the outer surface of the connecting cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, a rubber protrusion is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the bracket.

[0011] Preferably, each set of guide rail rods has a return spring fitted on its upper and lower ends on its outer surface. The outer ends of the two sets of return springs are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces inside the connecting cylinder, while the inner ends of the two sets of return springs are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the guide post. This allows the two sets of return springs to restrict the guide post to the middle section of the connecting cylinder through elastic tension.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The adjustable handwheel and wing bolts allow for quick adaptation to the tool's shape, forming a figure-eight or V-shaped support angle. Combined with the sliding of the guide post along the guide rail and the elasticity of the return spring, this design automatically creates a stable clamping force when placing tools, preventing them from shaking and falling. It also automatically resets the bracket after use, eliminating the need for repeated manual adjustments. Furthermore, the 30° inclined L-shaped plate further enhances the ease of tool placement and retrieval. The overall design significantly simplifies the tool storage process, reduces organization time, effectively ensures the stability and safety of tool storage, and significantly improves tool management efficiency. It is suitable for various scenarios, including industrial production and home repair. Attached Figure Description

[0015] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides the following technical solution: like Figures 1-2 As shown, a tool rack includes: an L-shaped plate 1, with multiple sets of handwheels 102 rotatably mounted embedded at one end of the placement surface of the L-shaped plate 1. Each set of handwheels 102 has a connecting cylinder 103 fixedly mounted at both ends of its outer surface. The two sets of connecting cylinders 103 on each set of handwheels 102 are inclined inward and can be rotated to form a figure-eight or V-shape. Each set of connecting cylinders 103 has a supporting mechanism 2 slidably mounted inside. The placement surface of the L-shaped plate 1 is inclined at 30°. Each set of handwheels 102 has a wing bolt 104 threadedly mounted inside, and each set of wing bolts 104 is threaded through the handwheel 102 and threadedly mounted inside the placement surface of the L-shaped plate 1.

[0017] The above design, through the L-shaped plate 1, handwheel 102, connecting cylinder 103, wing bolt 104, and support mechanism 2, allows the following steps when using this tool rack: First, according to the specifications and shape of the power tools to be stored, loosen the wing bolt 104 on the handwheel 102, allowing the handwheel 102 to rotate freely on the L-shaped plate 1. Then, rotate the handwheel 102 to adjust the angle of the two sets of connecting cylinders 103. Since the two sets of connecting cylinders 103 on each set of handwheel 102 are inclined inward, during rotation, they will together drive the support mechanism 2, which is slidably installed inside the connecting cylinder 103, to form a figure-eight or V-shape adapted to the shape of the tool. After the angle is adjusted appropriately, tighten the wing bolt 104 to fix the handwheel 102 on the L-shaped plate 1. Then, the power tools can be placed on the support mechanism 2 after the angle has been adjusted. At this time, the support mechanism 2 is in the shape of an "eight". After the power tool is placed, its weight will cause it to slide down into the connecting cylinder 103. Because of its "eight" shape, it will slide and expand towards both ends during the downward movement, thus supporting the power tool on both sides and applying clamping force. If it is in the shape of a "V", it will slide towards the center during the downward movement to clamp together. In this way, the support mechanism 2 will slide adaptively within the connecting cylinder 103 to fit the surface of the tool. With the inclined placement surface of the L-shaped plate 1, the tool can be stably clamped by the angle formed by the connecting cylinder 103, and the support mechanism 2 can provide effective support for the tool, realizing the stable storage of power tools of different sizes and shapes. When the tool needs to be retrieved, it can be picked up directly from the inclined placement surface, making the operation convenient.

[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, the supporting mechanism 2 includes a guide post 203 and a guide rail rod 201. The guide rail rod 201 is fixedly installed inside the connecting cylinder 103. The guide post 203 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the guide rail rod 201 and inside the connecting cylinder 103. A bracket 204 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the guide post 203. The bracket 204 installed on the outer surface of the guide post 203 slides out from the guide rail opening 101. The guide rail opening 101 is connected to one end of the outer surface of the connecting cylinder 103. A rubber convex strip is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the bracket 204.

[0019] Each set of guide rail rods 201 has a return spring 202 fitted on its upper and lower ends on its outer surface. The outer ends of the two sets of return springs 202 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces inside the connecting cylinder 103, respectively, while the inner ends of the two sets of return springs 202 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the guide post 203, respectively. This allows the two sets of return springs 202 to restrict the guide post 203 to the middle section of the connecting cylinder 103 through elastic tension.

[0020] The above design, through the design of the guide rail 201, return spring 202, guide column 203, and bracket 204, ensures that during the operation of the supporting mechanism 2, the guide rail 201 provides a stable sliding track for the guide column 203, ensuring that the guide column 203 can move smoothly in a fixed direction within the connecting cylinder 103. The bracket 204 on the outer surface of the guide column 203 extends out of the connecting cylinder 103 through the guide rail opening 101, directly contacting the power tool for support. When the power tool is placed on the bracket 204, its gravity causes the guide column 203 to slide downwards along the guide rail 201. If the two sets of connecting cylinders 103 are in a V-shape at this time, they will slide and expand towards both ends during the downward movement, allowing the two sets of brackets 204 to support the power tool on both sides. When the clamping force is applied in a V-shape, it will slide towards the center during the pressing process to clamp together. During this process, the return springs 202 at the upper and lower ends of the guide rod 201 will be stretched or compressed, generating a reverse elastic force. This force will not only balance part of the tool's weight, but also ensure that the bracket 204 is always in close contact with the tool surface, enhancing clamping stability. When the tool is removed, the elastic force of the return spring 202 will drive the guide post 203 to return to the middle section of the connecting cylinder 103 along the guide rod 201, so that the bracket 204 returns to its initial position for easy use next time. At the same time, the rubber protrusions on the outer surface of the bracket 204 can increase the friction between the bracket and the tool, prevent the tool from sliding, and also play a buffering role during clamping to prevent the tool surface from being scratched.

[0021] Working principle: When using this tool rack, first, according to the specifications and shape of the power tools to be stored, loosen the wing bolt 104 on the handwheel 102 so that the handwheel 102 can rotate freely on the placement surface of the L-shaped plate 1. Then, rotate the handwheel 102 to adjust the angle of the two sets of connecting cylinders 103. Since the two sets of connecting cylinders 103 on each set of handwheels 102 are inclined inward, during the rotation, they will drive the supporting mechanism 2, which is slidably installed inside the connecting cylinder 103, to form an eight-shaped or V-shaped shape that matches the shape of the tool. After the angle is adjusted properly, tighten the wing bolt 104 to fix the handwheel 102 on the L-shaped plate 1. Then, the power tools can be placed on the two sets of brackets 204 after the angle has been adjusted. The weight of the power tools will cause the guide column 203 to slide downward along the guide rail 201. When the two sets of connecting cylinders 103 are in a V-shape, they will slide and expand towards both ends during the downward movement, allowing the two sets of brackets 204 to support the sides of the power tool and apply clamping force. If they are in a V-shape, they will slide towards the center during the downward movement to clamp together. During this process, the return springs 202 at the upper and lower ends of the guide rod 201 will be stretched or compressed, generating a reverse elastic force. This force will balance part of the tool's weight and ensure that the brackets 204 are always in close contact with the tool surface, enhancing clamping stability. When the tool is removed, the elastic force of the return springs 202 will drive the guide post 203 to return to the middle section of the connecting cylinder 103 along the guide rod 201, allowing the brackets 204 to return to their initial position for easy use next time.

[0022] In summary, this tool rack allows for flexible adaptation of tools of different shapes by adjusting the angles of the connecting cylinder 103 and the supporting mechanism 2 according to the specifications of the power tools. No complicated disassembly or assembly steps are required. Furthermore, when placing tools, the bracket 204 automatically conforms to the tool surface and forms a stable clamping action through the sliding of the guide column 203 and the elasticity of the return spring 202, preventing tools from shaking and falling. The overall design simplifies the tool storage process, reduces tool organization time, and ensures stability during storage, effectively preventing damage caused by careless tool placement. Ultimately, it achieves both convenient operation and stable storage, significantly improving tool management efficiency and the tidiness of the work environment, further increasing overall work efficiency.
