A screwdriver, a tool for screwing a screw to force it into place, is generally classified into a general screwdriver, a combination screwdriver, and an electric screwdriver, and most of the electric screwdrivers are the combination screwdrivers. The combined screwdriver is a tool for separating a screwdriver head such as a screwdriver head or a sleeve from a handle, and when screws of different types need to be mounted or dismounted, only different screwdriver heads need to be replaced, and a large number of screwdrivers do not need to be equipped, so that the space is saved.

Because the number of the bits replaced by the combined screwdriver is large and the screwdriver is inconvenient to carry, a special tool box is usually required to be configured to contain the bits, but the bits with a large number are scattered in the tool box, so that the required bits are difficult to find out quickly in use, and are easy to scatter and lose. In order to solve the problem, a batch head storage box with a compact structure appears in the market, and a plurality of batch head seats are flatly paved at the bottom of a box body (namely a plurality of batch head seats are positioned on the same horizontal plane) so as to orderly store the batch heads with different models through the batch head seats, so that the batch heads are prevented from scattering in the box, and the required batch heads are conveniently and quickly found out.

However, in order to conveniently take and place the batch heads, a distance large enough needs to be reserved between the adjacent batch heads, because once the distance between the adjacent batch heads is small, when the specified batch heads are taken and placed, the fingers touch the batch heads around the batch heads to be taken and placed, so that the fingers cannot enter, the taking and placing are inconvenient, the fingers of users are easily scratched, and the working efficiency of the users is further affected. If a large space is reserved between a plurality of heads on the same horizontal plane, the occupied area of the head storage box can be multiplied, and the carrying and the storage are not facilitated integrally.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the utility model herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the utility model. As used herein, the term "or/and" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

At present, current batch head receiver is usually with a plurality of batch head seat tiled in the box body bottom (be promptly a plurality of batch head seat in same horizontal plane) to accomodate the batch head of different models in an orderly manner through batch head seat, prevent to criticize the head and scatter in the box, conveniently find out required batch head fast. However, if a small space is reserved between adjacent batch heads, when a specified batch head is taken and placed, fingers touch the batch heads around the batch head to be taken and placed, so that the fingers cannot enter the specified batch head to cause inconvenience in taking and placing, and the fingers of users are easily scratched to further influence the working efficiency of the users; and if the great interval of reserving between the adjacent batch head, though can conveniently get and put batch head, but can increase the area of this batch head receiver by times, be unfavorable for carrying and storing.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a storage device, which is capable of facilitating the handling of bits such as screwdriver bits or sleeves, and the carrying and storage of the bits as a whole. It will be appreciated that the receiving means of the utility model may be used to receive other items, such as drills and the like, in addition to bits.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides a storage device 1 for storing an article W, wherein the storage device 1 may include a base 10, at least one object 20 for placing the article W, and a link mechanism 30. The link mechanism 30 is rotatably connected to the base 10 and the placing object 20, and when the link mechanism 30 rotates relative to the base 10, the placing object 20 is driven by the link mechanism 30 to switch between a taking state 201 and a storing state 202, wherein when the placing object 20 is in the taking state 201, the placing object 20 is flatly placed on the base 10, so as to facilitate taking and placing of the object W; and when the article placing device 20 is in the storage state 202, the article placing device 20 is overlapped on the base 10, so that the article W is stored.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 3, when the article 20 is in the pick-and-place state 201, the article 20 is flatly placed on the base 10, so that the article holding surface 200 of the article 20 is exposed, so as to place the article W on the article holding surface 200 of the article 20, or take out the article W from the article holding surface 200 of the article 20, that is, the storage device 1 is in the use state at this time, so as to conveniently pick and place the article W; as shown in fig. 4, when the article placing device 20 is in the storage state 202, the article placing device 20 is overlapped with the base 10, so that the article placing surface 200 of the article placing device 20 is hidden to store the article W, that is, the storage device 1 is in a portable state for carrying and storing.

In other words, when the object placing part 20 is placed on the base 10, the storage device 1 is in a use state, and the floor area of the storage device 1 is larger than or equal to the sum of the floor areas of the base 10 and the object placing part 20; when the article placing device 20 is overlapped with the base 10, the storage device 1 is in a portable state, and the floor area of the storage device 1 is smaller and only equal to the floor area of the base 10, so that the storage device is convenient to carry or store integrally.

It should be understood that the expression of flat placement mentioned in the present application is only an arrangement opposite to stacking, and does not mean that the object 20 and the base 10 are laid on the same horizontal plane, and further means that the object placement surface 200 of the object 20 can only be on a horizontal plane, that is, when the object 20 is laid on the base 10, the object placement surface 200 of the object 20 can be a horizontal plane or an inclined plane, and the object placement surfaces 200 of a plurality of the objects 20 can be on the same plane or different planes, as long as the object placement surface 200 of the object 20 can be exposed to access the object W, which is not described in detail herein.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 1 to 4, while the link mechanism 30 rotates relative to the base 10, the object 20 can rotate relative to the link mechanism 30 to form a linkage structure, such that the orientation of the object plane 200 of the object 20 changes relative to the link mechanism 30, so as to expose the object plane 200 in the pick-and-place state 201, and hide the object plane 200 in the storage state 202. In other words, the placing object 20 can revolve with respect to the base 10 by the link mechanism 30, and at the same time, the placing object 20 can rotate with respect to the link mechanism 30 by the link mechanism 30, so as to ensure that the placing object 20 can be automatically switched between the taking and placing state 201 and the storing state 202 by being carried by the link mechanism 30.

Preferably, the revolution of the placing object 20 relative to the base 10 and the rotation of the placing object 20 relative to the link mechanism 30 are kept in synchronization, so that the orientation of the placing surface 200 of the placing object 20 is kept unchanged. In other words, when the placing object 20 rotates forward by a predetermined angle with respect to the base 10 along with the link mechanism 30, the placing object 20 can rotate backward by the same angle with respect to the link mechanism 30, so that the placing object 20 only performs a translational motion in the real space, but does not perform a rotational motion, so as to ensure that the orientation of the placing surface 200 of the placing object 20 is always the same when switching between the pick-and-place state 201 and the storage state 202.

According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 to 4, the link mechanism 30 of the container 1 may include at least one first link 31 and at least one second link 32, wherein the first link 31 and the second link 32 are respectively hinged to the base 10, and a rotation axis of the first link 31 is parallel to a rotation axis of the second link 32, so that the first link 31 and the second link 32 respectively rotate about different rotation axes. Meanwhile, the placing object 20 is rotatably mounted to the first link 31 and the second link 32, so that when the first link 31 and the second link 32 rotate around the respective rotation axes, the placing object 20 is driven by the first link 31 and the second link 32 to simultaneously revolve and rotate, so that the placing object 20 is switched between the taking and placing state 201 and the storing state 202. It is understood that the references to parallel in the present invention do not include coincidence, i.e., the axis of rotation of the first link 31 is parallel to the axis of rotation of the second link 32, meaning that the axis of rotation of the first link 31 and the axis of rotation of the second link 32 do not intersect nor coincide.

Preferably, the first link 31 and the second link 32 are respectively pivoted to the base 10, so that the first link 31 and the second link 32 can only perform a rotational movement around respective rotation axes with respect to the base 10, and cannot perform other movements.

More preferably, the placing object 20 is pivoted with the first link 31 and the second link 32 at the same time, and the pivoting axis of the placing object 20 is parallel to the rotating axis of the first link 31 and the second link 32, so that the placing object 20 can synchronously revolve and rotate, so as to ensure that the orientation of the placing surface 200 of the placing object 20 can be kept unchanged relative to the base 10.

It can be understood that there are two different pivot axes between the placement member 20 and the linkage mechanism 30, so that the placement member 20 and the linkage mechanism 30 move synchronously, i.e. when the linkage mechanism 30 does not rotate relative to the base 10, the placement member 20 does not rotate relative to the linkage mechanism 30, and when the linkage mechanism 30 rotates relative to the base 10, the placement member 20 also rotates relative to the linkage mechanism 30, which helps to keep the orientation of the placement surface 200 of the placement member 20 constant during the movement. In other words, in the above embodiment of the present invention, the placing object 20 is synchronously and rotatably disposed on the link mechanism 30 to ensure that the orientation of the placing surface 200 of the placing object 20 is kept unchanged during the state switching process.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the number of the loading pieces 20 in the storage device 1 is implemented as two, and the number of the first link 31 and the second link 32 of the link mechanism 30 is implemented as two, respectively. The two first links 31 are coaxially pivoted to the front and rear sides of the base 10; likewise, two second links 32 are coaxially pivoted to the front and rear sides of the base 10 to form a space for installing the storage 20 between the two first links 31 and the two second links 32. The front and rear ends of the two placement members 20 are respectively pivoted to the two first links 31 and the two second links 32.

Thus, when the link mechanism 30 is rotated to make the articles 20 in the pick-and-place state 201, the two articles 20 are flatly placed on the base 10, so that the two articles 20 and the base 10 are flatly laid in sequence from left to right, and the article surface 200 of each article 20 faces upward and is exposed, thereby facilitating the pick-and-place of the articles.

When the link mechanism 30 is rotated to place the articles 20 in the storage state 202, two articles 20 are stacked on the base 10, so that the two articles 20 and the base 10 are stacked from top to bottom, and the article 20 above will block the article surface 200 of the article 20 below to hide the article surface 200 of the article 20 for carrying or storage. It can be understood that, since the object placing member 20 located above will block the object placing surface 200 of the object placing member 20 located below, the object placed on the object placing surface 200 will be limited by the object placing member 20 located above, so as to prevent the object from falling off, and facilitate the storage.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 3, when the placing objects 20 are in the placing and placing state 201, the placing surfaces 200 of the two placing objects 20 are preferably at the same horizontal plane, so that all the objects can be observed at the same time, and the desired object can be found quickly. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 4, when the articles 20 are in the storage state 202, the article planes 200 of the two articles 20 are kept parallel to be vertically overlapped with each other.

Furthermore, according to the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the object placing member 20 may include an object placing plate 21 providing the object placing surface 200 and a first pivot shaft 22 and a second pivot shaft 23 provided on the object placing plate 21, and accordingly, the first link 31 of the link mechanism 30 is provided with a first pivot hole 301 matched with the first pivot shaft 22, and the second link 32 is provided with a second pivot hole 302 matched with the second pivot shaft 23, so as to implement the pivot connection of the object placing member 20 and the link mechanism 30 by inserting the first pivot shaft 22 and the second pivot shaft 23 into the first pivot hole 301 and the second pivot hole 302, respectively, correspondingly. It is understood that, in other examples of the present invention, the positions of the first pivot shaft 22 or the second pivot shaft 23 and the first pivot hole 301 or the second pivot hole 302 may be fully or partially interchanged, and the pivot connection between the placement object 20 and the link mechanism 30 can still be achieved, which is not described in detail herein.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, the storage board 21 of the storage device 20 includes a board body 211 and two side wings 212 extending downward from the front and rear ends of the board body 211, respectively, and the first pivot shaft 22 and the second pivot shaft 23 are fixedly mounted on the side wings 212 of the storage board 21, respectively. Thus, the upper surface of the plate 211 can serve as the storage surface 200 of the storage device 20, and the side wings 212 can provide sufficient space for the first pivot shaft 22 and the second pivot shaft 23.

More preferably, the distance between the first pivot shaft 22 of the object placing piece 20 and the rotation axis of the first link 31 is equal to the distance between the second pivot shaft 23 of the same object placing piece 20 and the rotation axis of the second link 32, so as to ensure that the object placing piece 20 revolves and rotates synchronously under the driving of the link mechanism 30.

Most preferably, an extension line of a central connection line between the first pivot shaft 22 and the second pivot shaft 23 on the placing object 20 intersects with the placing surface 200 of the placing object 20, which helps to increase a distance between the first pivot shaft 22 and the second pivot shaft 23, thereby reducing the restriction of the placing object 20 on the link mechanism 30 and facilitating to increase the available rotation angle of the link mechanism 30. It can be understood that when the connecting line between the first pivot shaft 22 and the second pivot shaft 23 is parallel to the object placing plane 200 of the object placing device 20, the one-way rotation angle of the link mechanism 30 from the pick-and-place state 201 of the object placing device 20 is less than 90 ° limited by the relative position between the first link 31 and the second link 32; when the connecting line between the first pivot shaft 22 and the second pivot shaft 23 intersects the storage plane 200, the unidirectional rotation angle of the link mechanism 30 from the pick-and-place state 201 of the storage device 20 can be greater than or equal to 90 °, so as to facilitate the switching between the pick-and-place state 201 and the storage state 202 of the storage device 20.

According to the above embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the object placing plate 21 of the object placing member 20 may further include a rib 213, wherein the rib 213 is integrally connected to the two side wings 212, so as to enhance the overall structural strength of the object placing plate 21, which is helpful for improving the reliability of the storage device 1. Optionally, the rib 213 may be, but is not limited to, integrally extend from the plate body 211 to the two side wings 212 to further enhance the overall structural strength of the object placing plate 21.

In addition, as shown in fig. 2, the placement member 20 may further include a plurality of placement tools 24 disposed on the placement plate 21 for fixing the article W placed on the placement member 20 to prevent the article W from being unintentionally or accidentally detached from the placement member 20. Preferably, the plurality of the storage fixtures 24 are arranged in the storage plate 21 in a row, so that the article W can be conveniently taken and placed even if the distance between two adjacent storage fixtures 24 is reduced.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2, the placement tool 24 of the placement member 20 may be, but is not limited to being, implemented as a groove 241, wherein the groove 241 is recessed downward from the placement surface 200 for accommodatively fixing a batch head such as a screwdriver head or the like. Of course, in other examples of the present invention, the placing tool 24 may be implemented as a plurality of bosses protruding upward from the placing surface 200 for telescopically fixing a batch head such as a sleeve; alternatively, the storage tool 24 may be implemented as a compartment disposed in the storage device 20, wherein the opening direction of the compartment is consistent with the orientation of the storage surface 200 for fixing the batch head to be stored. It is understood that the storage tool 24 is not limited to the above examples, and may be implemented in various structures, and even may be implemented as a double-sided adhesive tape adhered to the storage surface 200, as long as the double-sided adhesive tape can fix the articles to be stored, which is not described in detail herein.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment according to the present invention, the base 10 can be used as a placing object for placing and taking the article W, besides being used as a base of the storage device 1 to provide a pivot for the link mechanism 30. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the base 10 of the receiving device 1 may include a base 11 and a base fixture 12, wherein the base fixture 12 is disposed on the base 11 and is used for fixing the article W placed on the base 11. It is understood that the base fixture 12 of the base 10, like the storage fixture 24 of the storage device 20, may be implemented as various types of fixtures, such as the groove 241, the boss, the cabin, etc., and the description thereof is omitted here.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the base 11 of the base 10 may have a reference plane 100 parallel to the object placing plane 200 of the object placing device 20, wherein when the object placing device 20 is in the pick-and-place state 201, the reference plane 100 of the base 10 and the object placing plane 200 of the object placing device 20 are at the same level, so as to facilitate picking and placing the object W on the base 11; wherein when the placing object 20 is in the storage state 202, the reference surface 100 of the base 10 and the placing surface 200 of the placing object 20 are overlapped in a vertical direction, and the reference surface 100 of the base 10 is hidden by the placing object 20, preventing the article W placed on the reference surface 100 of the base 10 from being unintentionally or accidentally dropped.

More preferably, as shown in fig. 2 to fig. 4, the base 10 may be further disposed on a limiting member 13 of the base body 11, for limiting a rotation angle range of the link mechanism 30 relative to the base body 11, so as to limit the placing object 20 to the placing state 201 and the storing state 202 respectively.

Illustratively, the limiting element 13 is used for limiting a rotation angle of the link mechanism 30 relative to the base body 11 to be between 0 ° and 90 °, that is, when the link mechanism 30 rotates 0 ° relative to the base body 11, the placing object 20 is in the placing state 201 or the storing state 202; when the link mechanism 30 is rotated 90 ° relative to the base 11, the placing object 20 is in the storage state 202 or the taking and placing state 201, respectively.

Optionally, the limiting member 13 may be, but not limited to, implemented as a plurality of protrusions extending outward from the base 11, and the positions of the protrusions on the base 11 are designed according to the pivot positions of the link mechanisms 30, and it is only necessary to ensure that the protrusions can limit the range of the rotation angle of the link mechanisms 30 to meet the requirements, which is not described in detail herein.

It should be noted that, according to the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 to 4, the storage apparatus 1 may further include a top cover 40, wherein the top cover 40 is rotatably disposed on the link mechanism 30, and the placing object 20 is located between the top cover 40 and the base 10, so that when the placing object 20 is in the storage state 202, the top cover 40 is overlapped on the top of the placing object 20 to shield the placing surface 200 of the placing object 20 located at the top by the top cover 40, so that the article W placed on the placing surface 200 of the placing object 20 is hidden, thereby preventing the article W from being touched or collided, and helping to protect the stored article W. It can be understood that, when the placement objects 20 are in the pick-and-place state 201, the top cover 40 and the placement objects 20 are laid on the side of the base 10, so that the placement surface 200 of the uppermost placement object 20 is exposed to facilitate picking and placing of the object W.

Illustratively, both end portions of the link mechanism 30 of the storage device 1 are rotatably connected to the base 10 and the top cover 40, respectively, wherein the placing object 20 is rotatably disposed on the link mechanism 30, and the placing object 20 is located between the base 10 and the top cover 40, wherein when the placing object 20 is in the pick-and-place state 201, the article W placed on the placing object 20 can be exposed out of a space formed between the base 10 and the top cover 40, and when the placing object 20 is in the storage state 202, the article W placed on the placing object 20 can be hidden in the space between the base 10 and the top cover 40.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, the top cover 40 of the storage device 1 may include a cover 41 rotatably connected to the linkage mechanism 30 and a handle 42 disposed on the cover 41, such that when the storage member 20 is in the storage state 202, the handle 42 is held by a user to facilitate carrying the storage device 1.

Preferably, the handle 42 integrally extends upward from the upper surface of the cover 41, and the handle 42 is provided with a through hole for a finger to pass through, so as to facilitate carrying. It is understood that the handle 42 may be implemented as other types of structures, such as a handle or a strap, as long as the handle is convenient for the user to hold to carry the storage device 1, and the description of the utility model is omitted.

It should be noted that, although the storage device 1 according to the above embodiment of the utility model has the storage surface 200 facing upward when the article 20 is in the storage state 202, that is, facing the top cover 40, it is only an example and does not limit the scope of the utility model. For example, in some examples of the present invention, when the articles 20 are in the storage state 202, the article-placing surfaces 200 may also face downward, i.e. towards the base 10; alternatively, the object planes 200 of different objects 20 may face in opposite directions, i.e., the object planes 200 of some objects 20 face the top cover 40, and the object planes 200 of other objects 20 face the base 10. In particular, when the object placing surfaces 200 of two adjacent object placing devices 20 are oppositely oriented, the user can put and place the object W to the adjacent object placing device 20 from opposite directions, so as to avoid being interfered by the object W on the adjacent object placing device 20.

In another example of the present invention, each of the placement objects 20 may include two placement surfaces 200 facing the top cover 40 and the base 10, respectively, which contributes to increase of the storage capacity of the storage device 1 by several times. In particular, the top cover 40 can also be embodied as an object placed face down for placing the object W.

It should be noted that the storage device 1 according to the above embodiment of the present invention uses only one link mechanism 30 as an example to illustrate the features and advantages of the storage device 1, but in other embodiments of the present invention, the storage device 1 may include two link mechanisms 30 to multiply the storage capacity of the storage device 1.

In particular, figures 5 and 6 show a first variant of the containing device according to the above-described embodiment of the utility model, which differs from the above-described embodiment of the utility model in that: the storage device 1 includes two link mechanisms 30 and at least one opposite object 20 rotatably disposed on the two link mechanisms 30, wherein the two link mechanisms 30 are rotatably disposed on the base 10, respectively, and when the two link mechanisms 30 rotate relative to the base 10, the opposite object 20 is driven by the corresponding link mechanism 30 to switch between the pick-and-place state 201 and the storage state 202.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, two of the link mechanisms 30 are symmetrically disposed on the base 10, so that when the link mechanism 30 on the left side rotates counterclockwise, the article storage 20 corresponding thereto can be switched from the storage state 202 to the pick-and-place state 201; and when the link mechanism 30 on the right rotates clockwise, the storage state 202 of the storage object 20 corresponding to the link mechanism can be switched to the pick-and-place state 201. Conversely, when the link mechanism 30 on the left rotates clockwise, the article 20 corresponding to the link mechanism can be switched from the pick-and-place state 201 to the storage state 202; and when the link mechanism 30 on the right side rotates counterclockwise, the article placing device 20 corresponding to the link mechanism can be switched from the taking and placing state 201 to the storing state 202.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 6, when the articles 20 respectively corresponding to the two link mechanisms 30 are in the storage state 202, the two link mechanisms 30 are stacked above the base 10 in the left-right direction, so that all the articles 20 are stacked above the base 10, to reduce the floor area of the storage device 1 for portability; as shown in fig. 5, when the articles 20 respectively corresponding to the two link mechanisms 30 are in the pick-and-place state 201, the two link mechanisms 30 are laid on the left and right sides of the base 10 in the left-and-right direction, so that all the articles 20 are laid on the left and right sides of the base 10 to pick and place articles.

More preferably, as shown in fig. 6, the handle 42 of one of the top covers 40 of the storage device 1 is eccentrically disposed to the corresponding cover 41 and is biased toward the other top cover 40. In other words, the hand piece 42 on the top cover 40 on the left side is provided to the right end portion of the corresponding cover 41, and the hand piece 42 on the top cover 40 on the right side is provided to the left end portion of the corresponding cover 41. Thus, when the placement members 20 are in the storage position 202, the handles 42 of the two top covers 40 are close to each other, so that a user can hold the two handles 42 with one hand, and the placement members 20 are stably kept in the storage position 202 and are convenient to carry.

It should be noted that, in the storage device 1 according to the above-mentioned embodiment and the first modified embodiment of the present invention, the object 20 revolves and rotates synchronously due to the link mechanism 30, so that the object plane 200 of the object 20 always faces the same direction, which causes the link mechanism 30 to rotate 90 ° to fully expose the object plane 200 of the object 20, that is, the storage device 1 is fully unfolded to facilitate taking and placing the object, and the floor area of the storage device 1 is the largest and is equal to the sum of the areas of the base 10 and the object 20. In other words, the storage device 1 according to the above-described embodiment and the first modified embodiment of the present invention requires a sufficiently large space when in use to ensure that the storage device 1 can be fully unfolded to place an object.

However, once the space of the application scene is small and is not enough to ensure that the storage device 1 is fully unfolded, that is, the use area of the application scene is smaller than the occupied area of the storage device 1 in the use state, the placing object 20 cannot be switched to the placing and placing state 201, which causes inconvenience in placing and placing the object, even the object cannot be placed and placed. To solve this problem, fig. 7 to 10 show a second variant of the housing apparatus according to the above-described embodiment of the utility model, which differs from the above-described embodiment of the utility model in that the housing apparatus 1 according to the second variant of the utility model is: the placing object 20 is rotatably and slidably disposed on the link mechanism 30, that is, the placing object 20 is rotatably disposed on the first link 31 and the second link 32 of the link mechanism 30 in a non-synchronous manner, so that when the link mechanism 30 does not rotate relative to the base 10, the placing object 20 can rotate relative to the link mechanism 30 to change the orientation of the placing surface 200 of the placing object 20; when the link mechanism 30 rotates relative to the base 10, the object 20 can still be moved by the link mechanism 30 to switch between the pick-and-place state 201 and the storage state 202.

It should be noted that, since the article placing device 20 can rotate asynchronously with the link mechanism 30, so that the article placing device 20 can be adjusted to change the orientation of the article placing surface 200 when the link mechanism 30 does not rotate, when the article placing device 20 is in the intermediate state 203 between the pick-and-place state 201 and the storage state 202, the orientation of the article placing surface 200 of the article placing device 20 can be adjusted, so that the article placing surface 200 of the article placing device 20 is completely exposed, thereby facilitating the article placing and taking.

It can be understood that, in the storage device 1 according to the above-mentioned embodiment and the first modified embodiment of the present invention, when the object 20 is in the intermediate state 203, the orientation of the object plane 200 of the object 20 cannot be adjusted, and is still kept upward, so that the object plane 200 of the object 20 located below is partially shielded by the previous object 20, which is not beneficial to accessing the object W. As shown in fig. 7 and 10, when the object 20 is in the intermediate state 203, the storage device 1 according to the second modified embodiment of the present invention can expose the object 200 of the object 20 by adjusting the orientation of the object 200 of the object 20, which is beneficial for taking and placing the object W.

For example, as shown in fig. 8 to 10, the placing object 20 may include the placing object 21 and a first guide hole 25 and a second guide hole 26 provided on the placing object 21, wherein a first rotating shaft member 310 corresponding to the first guide hole 25 is provided on the first link 31 of the link mechanism 30, and a second rotating shaft member 320 corresponding to the second guide hole 26 is provided on the second link 32 of the link mechanism 30, wherein the first rotating shaft member 310 of the link mechanism 30 is rotatably inserted into the first guide hole 25 of the placing object 20, and the second rotating shaft member 320 of the link mechanism 30 is rotatably inserted into the second guide hole 26 of the placing object 20, wherein a transverse dimension of the first guide hole 25 is larger than a transverse dimension of the first rotating shaft member 310 to allow the first rotating shaft member 310 to rotate and slide in the first guide hole 25, so that the orientation of the object placing surface 200 of the object placing piece 20 can be adjusted. It is understood that, in this modified embodiment of the present invention, the lateral dimension of the second guide hole 26 is adapted to the lateral dimension of the second shaft member 320, so that the second shaft member 320 can only rotate in the second guide hole 26.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 8, the first guiding hole 25 of the object placing device 20 is implemented as an arc-shaped hole 251 provided on the side wing 212 of the object placing plate 21, so that the first rotating shaft 310 inserted into the first guiding hole 25 can slide along the first guiding hole 25 in addition to being able to rotate in the first guiding hole 25, so as to change the orientation of the object placing surface 200 of the object placing device 20. Meanwhile, the second guide hole 26 of the object placing member 20 is implemented as a circular hole 261 provided in the side wing 212 of the object placing plate 21, so that the second rotating shaft member 320 only performs a rotating motion in the second guide hole 26.

More preferably, the first guide hole 25 extends in an arc shape centering on the center of the second guide hole 26, so that when the link mechanism 30 does not rotate, the arc-shaped hole 251 can guide the first rotating shaft 310 to slide, so that the placing object 20 can integrally rotate around the second rotating shaft 320 to adjust the orientation of the placing surface 200 of the placing object 20.

It should be noted that the first rotating shaft member 310 and the second rotating shaft member 320 of the placing object 20 may be, but not limited to, implemented as pins fixedly arranged on the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32, respectively.

Further, although the first guide hole 25 is implemented as the arc-shaped hole 251 and the second guide hole 26 is implemented as the circular hole 261 in the housing device 1 of the above-described second modified embodiment of the present invention, it is merely an example and does not constitute a limitation of the present invention; for example, in other examples of the present invention, the first guide hole 25 may also be implemented as a circular hole, and the second guide hole 26 is implemented as an arc-shaped hole correspondingly, which still can achieve the effect of adjusting the orientation of the object placing surface 200 of the object placing device 20, and the description of the present invention is not repeated herein.

In particular, figures 11 to 14 show a third variant of the containing device according to the above described embodiment of the utility model, which differs from the above described second variant of the utility model in that the containing device 1 according to the third variant of the utility model is: the transverse dimensions of the first guide hole 25 and the second guide hole 26 in the object placing device 20 are respectively correspondingly larger than the transverse dimensions of the first rotating shaft member 310 and the second rotating shaft member 320, so that the first rotating shaft member 310 and the second rotating shaft member 320 can respectively rotate and slide in the first guide hole 25 and the second guide hole 26, and the flexibility of the object placing surface 200 of the object placing device 20 in adjustment is increased.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 12 to 14, each of the first guide hole 25 and the second guide hole 26 is implemented as the arc-shaped hole 251 to guide the first rotation shaft member 310 and the second rotation shaft member 320 to slide along the corresponding arc-shaped hole 251, respectively.

More preferably, the first guide hole 25 and the second guide hole 26 extend symmetrically around the same circular line, that is, the central arc line of the first guide hole 25 and the central arc line of the second guide hole 26 have the same center and radius, so that the object 20 can rotate around the first rotating shaft member 310 while rotating around the second rotating shaft member 320, so as to increase the adjustment angle of the orientation of the object placing surface 200. Meanwhile, while the orientation of the storage surface 200 of the storage device 20 is adjusted, the position of the storage device 20 on the link mechanism 30 can be kept substantially unchanged, and the storage device 20 is prevented from pressing the adjacent storage device 20.

It should be noted that, in order to distinguish the different placement objects 20 to quickly find out the required object, the storage device 1 of the present invention may set a specific mark on the different placement objects 20, so that the user can quickly find out the required object according to the mark. For example, the indication set by the present invention can be, but is not limited to, implemented as a color of the placement object 20, or a text or a pattern provided on the placement object 20, and so on, which is not described in detail herein.

It should be noted that, according to another aspect of the present invention, as shown in fig. 15, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a storage method, including the steps of:

s100: the connecting rod mechanism is rotated in the positive direction relative to the base to drive the object to move so as to be horizontally arranged on the base, so that the object is in a pick-and-place state; and

s200: through this link mechanism of reverse rotation for this base, drive this and put the thing piece and remove in order to superpose in this base for this is put the thing piece and is in storage state.

It is to be noted that the mentioned forward rotation and reverse rotation of the present invention are relative, and in the drawings of the specification of the present invention, counterclockwise rotation is forward rotation, and correspondingly, clockwise rotation is reverse rotation.

The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.

The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the utility model. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent should be subject to the appended claims.
