Description

The invention relates to a drawer for a tool cabinet and to a tool cabinet.Drawers of tool cabinets and tool cabinets serve to store tools or the like for a period of time and to provide them for later use or use. Furthermore, tool cabinets are known which have a plurality of drawers in which the tools or tool parts are stored and removed for use.Furthermore, tool cabinets with an integrated automatic inventory management are known, which monitors the storage and output of the tools arranged in the tool cabinets.An object of the invention is to provide a drawer for a toolbox with a safe supply for, in particular, electrical or electronic, consumer units of the drawer or in the drawer.This object is achieved by a drawer for a tool cabinet having a drawer body for receiving at least one tool part, wherein an, in particular flat and / or elongated, receiving compartment for receiving at least one cable harness is provided on the drawer body, wherein the receiving compartment has at least two receiving compartment segments, preferably arranged one inside the other and / or trough-like, further preferably flat trough-like, wherein the receiving compartment segments are telescopic.The invention is based on the idea that, by accommodating a cable harness in the multi-segment receiving compartment, a permanent and secure cable connection is provided, for example, between a rear-side supply unit of a drawer and a consumer unit in or on the drawer, such as a display or a docking station, wherein the cable harness is not damaged by the accommodating of the cable harness in the receiving compartment. In addition, the receiving compartment on the drawer enables a spatial separation from the receiving space of the drawer body for tools or the like, wherein the cable harness does not become entangled or jammed during the pulling out and / or the retracting.The fact that the receiving compartment segments of the receiving compartment are telescopic for the cable harness allows the receiving compartment segments to be arranged compactly in the tool cabinet in the retracted state of the drawer and the receiving compartment segments to protect the received cable harness from damage or contact by other objects in the drawer or in the environment in the extended state of the drawer. In particular, the receiving compartment has two, in particular trough-like, receiving compartment segments which are arranged one inside the other.Preferably, the receiving compartment for the cable harness is arranged on the drawer in such a way that the cable harness is arranged and / or guided in a horizontal plane. In particular, the receiving compartment segments are aligned horizontally.For this purpose, in a development of the drawer, provision is made for a cable harness to be arranged or accommodated in the receiving compartment. Without loss of the useful surface of the drawer, a cable connection is provided, for example, from a supply unit in a rear housing of the toolbox to a drawer element on the front side of the drawer, such as a display unit or a lighting unit or a docking station. In this case, it is possible for energy and / or data to be transmitted between the, in particular fixed, supply unit and the movable drawer element by means of the cable harness. Overall, by accommodating the cable harness in the accommodating compartment, the cable harness is protected from damage or the like. The drawer element connected to the cable harness on the front side of the drawer can be designed for identifying the drawer, for example in a tool output system or for loading rechargeable batteries or the like.The drawer according to the invention having the multisegment receiving compartment makes it possible to form a secure and protected cable guide for the cable harness below a drawer both for wide or narrow and / or low drawers and / or for drawers with a large extension length.In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that in the receiving compartment, preferably in an inner receiving compartment segment, a bendable spring material guide strip, preferably made of metal or plastic, is provided for the cable harness with a predetermined length, wherein in particular the spring material guide strip is bendable in the longitudinal direction and / or the spring material guide strip has a higher stiffness in the transverse direction than in the longitudinal direction. The spring material guide strip for the cable harness ensures reliable guiding and / or movement of the cable harness during the extraction or the retraction of the drawer into the tool cabinet within the receiving compartment. In addition, the spring material guide strip prevents damage or buckling of the cable harness when the drawer is actuated, i.e. when the drawer is pulled out or retracted.Furthermore, an embodiment of the drawer is characterized in that a first end of the bendable spring material guide strip is connected to an outer receiving compartment segment by means of a first connecting piece and / or a second end of the bendable spring material guide strip is connected to an inner receiving compartment segment by means of a second connecting piece.In addition, in a development of the drawer, it is advantageously provided that the spring material guide strip is connected to the cable harness by means of at least one connecting body, in particular between the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece. In particular, a plurality of connecting bodies are provided between the first connecting piece for the spring material guide strip, which is connected to the outside receiving compartment segment, and the second connecting piece for the spring material guide strip, which is connected to the inside receiving compartment segment, at preferably regular intervals in order to connect the spring material guide strip to the movable section of the cable harness along the elastically bendable spring material strip. Preferably, the inner receiving compartment segment is connected to the movably arranged drawer. It is also preferred that the outside receiving compartment segment is connected to the tool cabinet.In particular, according to a preferred development of the drawer, it is provided that the connecting body or the connecting bodies is or are designed such that the respective connecting body is connected to the cable harness in a slip-proof manner, and the respective connecting body has a passage for the spring material guide strip. In this case, the connecting body or bodies are fixedly connected to the cable harness. By means of the passage of the connecting body or bodies for the spring material guide strip, it is made possible that differences in length arising during a displacement or movement of the cable harness during the extraction or the retraction of the drawer are compensated, since for example the spring material guide strip is or is guided along the cable harness on one side of the cable harness, for example the outer side. By means of the passage of the connecting bodies, it is possible to connect the spring material guide strip to the cable harness and to guide the spring material guide strip movably for length compensation when the cable harness is moved.Furthermore, in one configuration of the drawer, it is provided that a connecting body or the connecting body or bodies is or are each designed as a sliding guide body which can be moved in the receiving compartment for guiding the cable harness in the receiving compartment, in particular between an inner receiving compartment segment and the drawer body.
