Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of crimping pliers, specifically to a pair of crimping pliers.


BACKGROUND

Crimping pliers are used for crimping joints or seal of aluminum or copper conductors in power electrical engineering. The crimping pliers mainly use pliers to tightly connect the joints or the seal. The pliers can be fixed or replaced, and the crimping pliers with replaceable pliers can adapt to different work scenarios by replacing different specifications and types of pliers. For example, Chinese utility model patent with the publication number of 201394812 discloses quick crimping pliers (i.e., quick wire stripper), which includes a static handle, a dynamic handle, and a gear propulsion framework. A spring ejector rod is installed on the static handle, upper and lower modules can be manually separated at any time during operation, and wires or wiring components to be connected can be removed from the modules to avoid material waste caused by operational errors. By adding the spring ejector rod, the operation is more flexible and convenient. However, the above-mentioned patent also has a complex structure.


SUMMARY

A purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a pair of crimping pliers to solve the problems proposed in the background mentioned above.


To achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure provides the following technical solution.


The crimping pliers are provided. The crimping pliers include a large handle (i.e., first handle), a small handle (i.e., second handle), a connecting rod, a clamp fixing plate, a first returning spring, a pawl, a second returning spring, mounting blocks, and plier beaks. The large handle, the small handle, the connecting rod, and the clamp fixing plate form a hinged four-rod mechanism. Two ends of the connecting rod are connected between a rear part of the large handle and a rear part of the small handle. The clamp fixing plate is connected between a front part of the large handle and a front part of the small handle. A front part of the clamp fixing plate is bent towards a side of the large handle and forms a clamp head with the front part of the large handle. The large handle includes two first plates that are opposite and separate from each other. The small handle includes two second plates that are opposite and separate from each other. A rear part of the connecting rod is bent and extends towards a tail end of the large handle. The first returning spring is connected between a back side of a bent part of the clamp fixing plate and the large handle. The pawl is rotatable and installed at the large handle. The pawl matches and meshes with outer pawl teeth at a root of the clamp fixing plate. A tail end of the pawl is connected to the second returning spring. An end of the second returning spring is connected to a rivet column on the large handle. The mounting blocks are rotatable and installed at two sides of the clamp head respectively. Inner sides of the mounting blocks are respectively provided with the plier beaks having an adjustable angle.


In an embodiment, an axial end of the pawl is provided with a knob that extends through the large handle.


In an embodiment, the crimping pliers further include connecting handles and ball-end screws. A back side of each of the plier beaks is provided with a corresponding one of the connecting handles having a cylindrical shape, and each of the connecting handles defines multiple positioning grooves along a circumference of the connecting handle. An inner side of each of the mounting blocks defines a hole matching with the corresponding connecting handle. A front end of each of the mounting blocks is screwed with corresponding two of the ball-end screws. A front end of each of the ball-end screws is inserted into a corresponding one of the multiple positioning grooves.


Compared with the related art, the present disclosure has the beneficial effects that the connecting rod of the present disclosure adopts an arc-shaped bending extension design, so that the compression elastic force is increased, and the operation is labor-saving. The plier beaks are positioned through the ball-end screws, so that the plier beaks can be conveniently and quickly disassembled and assembled, and can rotate to adjust a direction of the plier beaks to meet different use requirements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in the following with reference to drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to a scope of protection of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the present disclosure provides the following technical solution. Crimping pliers include a large handle 1, a small handle 2, a connecting rod 3, a clamp fixing plate 4, a first returning spring 5, a pawl 6, a second returning spring 7, mounting blocks 8, and plier beaks 9. The large handle 1, the small handle 2, the connecting rod 3, and the clamp fixing plate 4 form a hinged four-rod mechanism. Two ends of the connecting rod 3 are connected between a rear part of the large handle 1 and a rear part of the small handle 2. The clamp fixing plate 4 is connected between a front part of the large handle 1 and a front part of the small handle 2. A front part of the clamp fixing plate 4 is bent towards a side of the large handle 1 and forms a clamp head with the front part of the large handle 1. The large handle 1 includes two first plates 12 that are opposite and separate from each other, and the two first plates 12 are fixedly connected to each other through rivet columns 70. The small handle 2 includes two second plates 21 that are opposite and separate from each other, and the two second plates 21 are fixedly connected to each other through rivet columns 70. A rear part of the connecting rod 3 is bent and extends towards a tail end of the large handle 1, this design is beneficial for increasing a compression force, increasing the force arm to make gripping and pressing operations of the crimping pliers more labor-saving, and a tail section of the connecting rod 3 can be hidden in the large handle 1.
