This Non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) to Chinese Patent Application No. 202122324994.0, filed on 23 Sep. 2021, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The disclosure relates to a technical field of hardware tools, in particular to a clamping plier head and a clipping plier.
Clamping pliers, also known as crimping pliers, can be classified into wire crimping pliers, pipe crimping pliers and the like depending on their different functions. When the crimping pliers are configured to crimp pipe fittings, the opened crimping pliers clamp around the pipe fittings, the crimping pliers are completely aligned with the pipe fittings, and the arms acts to make a crimping head squeeze the pipe fittings, thus achieving a function of crimping the pipe fittings.
However, the existing crimping pliers have some disadvantages, such as a single function and no adapting to various types and shapes of acted objects such as pipe fittings or wires, etc. Even if a wide adaptability to pipe fittings of different sizes and shapes can be partly realized by replacing the fittings, the fittings of these tools are directly clamped on the crimping plier head through clamping grooves; in this way, the clamping is loose for convenience of replacement, which affects a final clamping effect, or the clamping is too tight, which is unfavorable for replacing. Secondly, during use, part of the acted object collides with the plier head, which affects using.
In order to overcome at least one disadvantages of the prior art, the disclosure provides a clamping plier head and a clipping plier which are unfavorable for disassembling and using.
In order to achieve above purposes, the disclosure provides a clamping plier head, which is used in cooperation with a first fitting and a second fitting. The second fitting is matched with the first fitting, and the clamping plier head includes an upper head, a lower head and an elastic clamping piece. The upper head and the lower head are matched to form an accommodating cavity for accommodating the first fitting and the second fitting, and at least one of the first fitting and the second fitting is detachably clamped on an inner wall of the accommodating cavity. The elastic clamping piece, with its own resilience, fixes the fitting detachably clamped on the inner wall to the inner wall.
After the first fitting and the second fitting are matched, a pressing area which can act on the acted object such as pipe fittings, connectors, wires or the like is created, so as to achieve purposes of clamping and shearing the acted object. A shape of the pressing area can be defined according to a shape of the acted object. In some possible embodiments, the first fitting and the second fitting can also be provided with a positioning structure for clamping the acted object, and the fittings (including the first fitting and the second fitting) in this application can be made of plastic, metal, cermet or composites of different materials. Although only the first fitting and the second fitting are described in this application, a third fitting, a fourth fitting or the like can also be used in technical schemes of this application, and a plurality of fittings can be matched with each other to form the pressing area.
In this application, at least one of the first fitting and the second fitting is detachably clamped on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, that is to say, versatility of functions can be realized by configuring the fittings with different shapes, so that a wide adaptability to the acted object with different sizes and shapes can be provided; secondly, in this application, the fittings are fixed using the elastic clamping piece with their own resilience; when disassembled, the fittings can be easily disassembled by pulling the elastic clamping piece; when installed, the fitting detachably clamped on the inner wall can be fixed to the inner wall with the own resilience of the elastic clamping piece.
A head position relationship between the upper and lower heads can be an up-and-down relationship, or can be set in a left-and-right configuration. In other embodiments, it can also be an oblique orientation relationship or the like.
In this application, at most one of the first fitting and the second fitting can be fixedly connected with or integrally arranged with the upper head or the lower head.
Optionally, the elastic clamping piece is arranged along an axial direction of the plier head penetrating through the upper head or the lower head, and the fittings detachably clamped on the inner wall have a clamping part, and the elastic clamping piece includes a pressing end and a rebound end, and the rebound end automatically rebounds under an elastic action formed by displacement of the pressing end and fixedly adheres the clamping part to a side wall of the upper head or the lower head.
Optionally, the fittings detachably clamped on the inner wall have two clamping parts, and the two clamping parts form a U-shaped groove so as to be clamped on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity. In another possible embodiment, the fittings detachably clamped on the inner wall have a clamping part, and the two clamping parts form a L-shaped groove so as to be clamped on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity. Compared with the L-shaped groove, the U-shaped groove is more firm.
Optionally, the elastic clamping piece further comprises a connecting shaft, both ends of which are respectively arranged at the pressing end and the rebound end. The upper or lower head is provided with a through hole for accommodating the connecting shaft, and an elastic piece is also provided in the through hole, with one end of the elastic piece abutting against an inner wall of the through hole, and the other end of the elastic piece being fixed to the rebound end. A length of the connecting shaft is longer than that of the through hole. Any of the clamping parts is provided with a clamping hole to accommodate the connecting shaft. Threads can be provided on the connecting shaft. In a possible embodiment, the connecting shaft, pressing end and rebound end can be an integral bolt, and the rebound end is symmetrical about a central axis of the connecting shaft. A longest axis of the rebound end passing through a symmetry center on an end face proximate to the connecting shaft is larger than a size of an opening of the clamping hole, and the size of the opening of the clamping hole is larger than a diameter of the connecting shaft.
Optionally, the rebound end has a major axis (a longest axis on the end face) and a minor axis (a shortest axis on the end face), with a length of the major axis having to be no less than the size of the opening of the clamping hole and a length of the minor axis being larger than or less than the size of the opening of the clamping hole.
In a possible embodiment, the rebound end includes a regular polygonal prism which is arranged proximate to the connecting shaft, an end face of the regular polygonal prism proximate to the connecting shaft is shaped as a regular polygon, the longest axis passing through the symmetry center (i.e. the major axis) is a diameter of a circumscribed circle of the regular polygon, and the size of the opening of the clamping hole (i.e. the minor axis) is smaller than the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the regular polygon and larger than a diameter of an inscribed circle of the regular polygon.
When the elastic clamping piece fixes the clamping part, due to the length of the connecting shaft being longer than the length of the through hole, the pressing end must not be attached to a side wall of the upper head or the lower head at this time. When the fitting is not installed, that is, in a general state, the elastic clamping piece is also consistent with an upper clamping state. When the two actions, disassembling and installing, are required, the pressing end is pressed or acted on with other actions so that the pressing end gradually gets close to the side wall while the rebound end get gradually away from the side wall, and the elastic piece is gradually in urgent need of resilience. At this time, the fitting can be disassembled or installed, and when the pressing end is released, it automatically rebounds and fixedly attaches the clamping part.
Optionally, a shape of the clamping hole is set according to a shape of the connecting shaft, and an aperture at the opening of the clamping hole is not larger than that proximate to the opening. An expression “proximate to the opening” refers to a position more close to the opening in a direction along which a hole depth of the clamping hole extends from shallow to deep. Further optionally, a hole depth proximate to the opening can be 10%-70% of a whole depth of the clamping hole, and still further optionally, the hole depth proximate to the opening can be 30%-50% of the whole depth of the clamping hole. This structure which is small at the opening and large inside is favorable for the connecting shaft not easily coming out of the opening. Optionally, the aperture of the clamping hole gradually increases along a hole depth direction of the clamping hole firstly for convenience of installation, where a gradually increasing part is a part of the clamping hole proximate to the opening. In another embodiment, the aperture of the clamping hole does not need to gradually increase along the hole depth direction of the clamping hole, but only a few areas of the clamping hole are larger than the opening, with a better clamping effect.
Optionally, two opposite side walls of the lower head are respectively provided with oppositely disposed grooves, so as to facilitate mounting of the acted object.
Optionally, a groove bottom of at least one of the grooves is flush with the clamping part of the first fitting in such a way that a groove bottom of one of the grooves is flush with the engaging part of the first fitting while a groove bottom of another groove is slightly higher or lower than the clamping part of the first fitting, or groove bottoms of the two grooves are both flush with the engaging part of the first fitting. The “flush” here does not means completely flush, and also includes “substantially flush”.
Optionally, a first end of the upper head is hinged with a third end of the lower head. A second end of the upper head opposite to the first end is detachably clamped with a fourth end of the lower head opposite to the third end. The fourth end of the lower head is clamped with the second end of the upper head to form an accommodating cavity, and the fourth end and the second end are respectively provided with a clamping groove and a bump which are matchingly clamped with each other. With this structure, an opening or closing of the accommodating cavity can be realized, and this operation is simple. When the second end and the fourth end are opened, respective fittings can be installed at the upper head and the lower head respectively, and then the second end and the fourth end are clamped, and the first fitting and the second fitting cooperate to form the pressing area.
Optionally, the second end is cylindrical in shape, the clamping groove is radially arranged on a cylindrical side of the second end, an axial section of the upper head is semi-circular, a position of the bump corresponding to the clamping groove is arranged on the side of the lower head, and the bump can slide along the clamping groove. The cylindrical side of the second end refers to a face of the cylinder which is not any one of two opposite circular faces. When the second end and the fourth end are clamped with each other gradually, the bump can slide along the clamping groove on the cylinder, which not only can be positioned but also can be fixed.
Optionally, the clamping plier head further includes a buckle which is arranged on a side proximate to the second end, and when the fourth end and the second end are clamped, the buckle is configured for further buckling to fix the second end.
The application also provides a clamping plier, which includes any one of the clamping plier heads as shown above, a pushing mechanism and a left plier handle and a right plier handle which are matched with each other and are both telescopic. The pushing mechanism is configured to push one of the first fitting and the second fitting so that the pushed fitting approaches the other fitting; and the left and right plier handles is configured to push the pushing mechanism.
Optionally, any one of the left plier handle and the right plier handle includes an inner sleeve, at least one breaking snap ring and an outer sleeve. A tail end of the inner sleeve is connected with an eccentric plug, and the inner sleeve is provided with an annular groove; the at least one breaking snap ring is clamped on the annular groove to form an annular protrusion; the outer sleeve is sleeved outside the inner sleeve; and an end of the outer sleeve is provided with an annular step for clamping the annular protrusion. In order to prevent the inner pipe from falling out of the outer pipe, some people also use a pull rope, but the pull rope is easy to be broken and can be entangled with the pipe.

In order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and understandable, a detailed description is made below for the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this embodiment, the elastic clamping piece 700 is arranged along an axial direction of the plier head 100 penetrating through the upper head 110 or the lower head 120, and the fittings detachably clamped on the inner wall have a clamping part 610, and the elastic clamping piece 700 includes a pressing end 702 and a rebound end 701, and the rebound end 701 automatically rebounds under an elastic action formed by displacement of the pressing end 702 and fixedly adheres the clamping part 610 to a side wall of the upper head 110 or the lower head 120.
As shown in
In this embodiment, the elastic clamping piece 700 further comprises a connecting shaft 703, both ends of which are respectively arranged at the pressing end 702 and the rebound end 701.

When the fitting is not installed, that is, in a general state, the elastic clamping piece 700 is also consistent with an upper clamping state. When the two actions, disassembling and installing, are required, the pressing end 702 is pressed or acted on with other actions so that the pressing end 702 gradually gets close to the side wall while the rebound end 701 get gradually away from the side wall, and the elastic piece is gradually in urgent need of resilience.

In this embodiment, a hole depth proximate to the opening can be 12% of a whole depth of the clamping hole 611, that is to say, a size of the clamping hole at a position about 12% of the whole depth away from the opening in a hole depth direction is not smaller than that at the opening, and in other embodiments, the hole depth proximate to the opening can be can also be 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 50%, 60%, 70% of the whole depth of the clamping hole.
