Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tool storage, specifically relating to a pull-out tool cabinet that is easy to access. Background Technology

[0002] A tool cabinet is a device used to store and manage tools, knives, and spare parts. It is particularly suitable for fixed-position management in production sites, aiming to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and efficiency of item access.

[0003] The most commonly used tool cabinets currently consist of multiple drawers at the top and a caster system at the bottom. Various tools are stored categorized in different drawers. Users open the corresponding drawer to retrieve the appropriate tool, resulting in a generally good user experience. However, there are still areas for improvement and optimization. Specifically:

[0004] Most commercially available mobile tool cabinets are currently 60-120cm in height. This height range generally corresponds to the comfortable height for a standing adult (approximately 160-180cm tall) to reach items (roughly around elbow height, allowing for easy access without significant bending or raising of the arms, with arms hanging naturally or slightly bent, minimizing pressure on the lower back and shoulders). In other words, while accessing tools in the top drawer of a standard mobile tool cabinet is very convenient, accessing tools in the bottom drawer requires bending or squatting, resulting in a less than ideal user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pull-out tool cabinet that is easy to access, ensuring that each drawer is at an optimal height for easy access, eliminating the need to bend over or squat to retrieve tools from the drawers, thus improving the user experience. To achieve this goal, the specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] A pull-out tool cabinet for easy access has several drawers fixed vertically on a loading plate with wheels at the bottom. Each drawer consists of an outer shell and an inner box that is placed vertically inside the outer shell and can move up and down. The drawer is also equipped with a locking mechanism that allows the inner box to be suspended at a specific height inside the outer shell. Several tool storage boxes with upward openings are also fixedly installed inside the inner box.

[0007] Furthermore, the locking mechanism consists of a movable pin, a control handle, a pull rope, a guide wheel, and a limiting hole.

[0008] The movable pin consists of a pin housing, a first guide chamber, a first guide slider, a first spring, and a limiting rod.

[0009] A first guide slider and a first spring are installed inside the pin housing via a first guide chamber. A limiting rod is also fixedly installed on the first guide slider. The movement of the first guide slider causes the limiting rod to extend out of the inner box and pin housing or retract into the inner box and pin housing.

[0010] The control handle consists of a handle housing, a second guide chamber, a second guide slider, a second spring, and a protrusion.

[0011] A second guide slider and a second spring are installed inside the handle housing via a second guide chamber. A protrusion extending out of the handle housing is also fixedly installed on the second guide slider.

[0012] The movable pin is fixedly installed at the bottom of the interlayer of the inner box, the control handle is fixedly installed at the top of the inner box, one end of the pull rope is fixedly installed on the first guide slider, and the other end is fixedly installed on the second guide slider. The force is transmitted from the protrusion to the limiting rod through the guide wheel fixedly installed on the pin housing. Then, in conjunction with several sets of limiting holes set on the outer shell, the inner box is suspended at a specific height inside the outer shell.

[0013] Furthermore, the opening of the tool storage box is angled upwards.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] Compared to existing mobile tool cabinets, this application adjusts the original horizontally stacked drawers to be arranged vertically. In this way, pulling up each drawer and taking out tools from each drawer is within the optimal height range for human use, without the need to squat or bend over, making it comfortable.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] See attached document Figure 1-11 This embodiment provides a pull-out tool cabinet that is easy to access. Several drawers 3 are vertically fixed on a loading plate 2 with rollers 1 at the bottom. Each drawer 3 consists of an outer shell 301 and an inner box 302 that is vertically placed inside the outer shell 301 and can move up and down. The drawer 3 is also equipped with a locking mechanism 4 that allows the inner box 302 to be suspended at a specific height inside the outer shell 301. Several tool storage boxes 5 with upward openings are also fixedly installed inside the inner box 302.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism 4 comprises a movable pin 401, a control handle 402, a pull rope 403, a guide wheel 404, and a limiting hole 405.

[0032] The movable pin 401 is composed of a pin housing 4011, a first guide chamber 4012, a first guide slider 4013, a first spring 4014, and a limiting rod 4015.

[0033] A first guide slider 4013 and a first spring 4014 are installed inside the pin housing 4011 via a first guide chamber 4012. A limiting rod 4015 is also fixedly installed on the first guide slider 4013. The movement of the first guide slider 4013 causes the limiting rod 4015 to extend out of the inner box 302 and the pin housing 4011 or retract into the inner box 302 and the pin housing 4011.

[0034] The control handle 402 is composed of a handle housing 4021, a second guide chamber 4022, a second guide slider 4023, a second spring 4024, and a protrusion 4025.

[0035] A second guide slider 4023 and a second spring 4024 are installed inside the handle housing 4021 via a second guide chamber 4022. A protrusion 4025 extending out of the handle housing 4021 is also fixedly installed on the second guide slider 4023.

[0036] The movable pin 401 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the interlayer of the inner box 302, the control handle 402 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner box 302, one end of the pull rope 403 is fixedly installed on the first guide slider 4013, and the other end is fixedly installed on the second guide slider 4023. The force is transmitted from the protrusion 4025 to the limiting rod 4015 through the guide wheel 404 fixedly installed on the pin housing 4011. Then, in cooperation with a number of limiting holes 405 provided on the outer shell 301, the inner box 302 is suspended at a specific height inside the outer shell 301.

[0037] Preferably, the opening of the tool storage box 5 is angled upwards for easy access.

[0038] Specifically, the overall height of the easy-to-access pull-out tool cabinet must meet the following conditions: 1. When the inner box 302 is at its highest locking point, the height of the control handle 402 and each tool storage box 5 from the ground is between 60 and 120 cm; 2. When the inner box 302 is at its lowest locking point, the height of the control handle 402 from the ground is between 60 and 120 cm.

[0039] The working principle of this embodiment will be further described below:

[0040] In use, the operator holds the control handle 402 and presses the protrusion 4025. At this time, the limiting rod 4015 disengages from the limiting hole 405, unlocking the inner box 302. Then, the operator lifts the control handle 402, causing the inner box 302 to move upward. Once the inner box 302 reaches the appropriate height, the protrusion 4025 is released, and the limiting rod 4015 extends and inserts into the corresponding limiting hole 405, locking the box.

[0041] Then, the staff took out the corresponding tools and parts from the tool storage boxes 5 installed in the inner box 302.

[0042] After the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance work is completed, all tools and parts are put back in place. The staff holds the control handle 402, presses the protrusion 4025, unlocks the inner box 302, moves it to the lowest position, and then releases the protrusion 4025 to complete the locking.
