The present invention relates to the field of fishing tackle, in particular to a dip net provided with a lockable and foldable handle.
In the fishing process, it is an indispensable step to scoop fish with dip nets. Particularly when big fish are caught, it will be difficult to get the big fish onto the bank without dip nets, and the fish can even escape, which makes all previous labor in vain. For this reason, dip nets are indispensable fishing tackle, of which the structure and quality are particularly important for fishing. Existing dip nets on the market have various defects, for instance, these dip nets have to be assembled on site when used, which will spend a lot of time and labor; and these dip nets are large in size and poor in bearing capacity and are provided with long rods, thereby being inconvenient to carry.
To solve the abovementioned problems, Chinese Patent Application No. 2008201710031 discloses a 360° gear-type fish basket adjustment device which comprises a main body, a right main body gear and a left main body gear, wherein a horizontal hole and a longitudinal hole are formed in the main body in a crossed manner, a lock screw is arranged in the main body in a sleeved manner, a connecting rod is arranged in the right main body gear and horizontally penetrates through the main body and the lock screw to be cooperatively inserted into the left main body gear, a connecting screw is arranged in the left main body gear and is cooperatively screwed in a connecting nut, and the right main body gear and the left main body gear are fixedly connected to two sides of the main body through the connecting screw. According to the 360° gear-type fish basket adjustment device, the main body can be adjusted to any angle through the cooperation between tooth grooves of the left and right main body gears and a tooth groove in the main body; when a fish basket is stored, the fish basket adjustment device can be rotated into the fish basket hoop to guarantee a good appearance and to save the space; and through the cooperation between the lock screw and the lock nut, the fish basket adjustment device can be firmly and reliably locked and is not prone to rotation.
According to the portable dip net disclosed in the above technical solution, the hoop and the net handle can be folded, so that transportation is facilitated; and assembly before use and disassembly after use are not needed, so that using is more convenient. However, in the folding and locking process, the lock screw needs to be rotated to loosen or tighten the left main body gear and the right main body gear, so that operation is inconvenient; and after being used repeatedly, the gears may be worn and have a poor engaging capacity, which in turn results ineffective locking, and consequentially, the stability of the main body is affected in use, and the service life of the fishing tackle is shortened.
The object of the invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by providing a foldable dip net which can be easily folded and unfolded and has a good stability after being locked.
The technical solution provided by the invention to fulfill the above object is as follows:
The invention relates to a dip net provided with a lockable and foldable handle. The dip net comprises a handle, a hoop and a hoop mounting base, wherein the hoop mounting base is fixed to the front end of the handle and comprises a base body, a rotary shaft and a lock device, and the rotary shaft and the lock device are both mounted in the base body; connecting pieces are arranged at two ends of the rear side of the hoop and are respectively connected with two ends of the rotary shaft; the rotary shaft is provided with two clamping grooves in a circumferential direction; when the handle is unfolded, the lock device is matched with one clamping groove to realize locking; and when the handle is folded, the lock device is matched with the other clamping groove to realize locking.
Preferably, the lock device comprises a spring, a lock catch and a buckle, wherein the base body is provided with a buckle sliding groove, and the lock catch and the spring are both mounted in the base body; the rear end of the lock catch is in close contact with the front end of the spring, and a protrusion is arranged at the front end of the lock catch; the buckle is mounted in the buckle sliding groove, is connected with the base body in a manner of sliding forwards or backwards, and is fixed to the lock catch; and the protrusion is matched with one of the clamping grooves.
Preferably, the lock catch is provided with a through hole which vertically penetrates through the lock catch, and a pin is arranged in the buckle and is inserted into the through hole. By adoption of such design, the buckle and the lock catch are effectively connected, the buckle can be pulled backwards to make the lock catch move backwards to compress the spring, so as to release the rotary shaft, and then folding is easily achieved.
Preferably, a round hole is formed in the rear end of the lock catch, the diameter of the round hole is matched with that of the spring, and the spring extends into the round hole. Because the spring extends into the round hole, the stability of the spring is improved, and deviation or distortion of the spring is prevented; and the elastic force from the spring is transmitted forwards along the axis of the handle, so that the rotary shaft can be locked.
Preferably, a plurality of concave-convex grooves are formed in the surface of the buckle. The concave-convex grooves increase the friction between the hand and the buckle, so that the buckle can be conveniently pulled by users.
Preferably, an included angle between the two clamping grooves is 180°. When the dip net is folded, an included angle between the handle and the hoop is 0°, so that the overall thickness of the dip net is decreased, and the dip net can be transported and carried conveniently. When the dip net is unfolded, the included angle between the handle and the hoop is 180°, the length of the dip net is maximized, and fish at a distance can be scooped.
Preferably, the outer side of the handle is wrapped with an outer ferrule which is made from a buoyant material, and the surface of the outer ferrule is provided with a plurality of anti-slip pits. The handle can be held more comfortably by means of the outer ferrule. Meanwhile, the outer ferrule is made from a buoyant material, so that when accidentally falling into water, the dip net can float up to be fished conveniently; and the anti-slip pits in the surface of the outer ferrule can improve the friction between the handle and the hand, so that the dip net is unlikely to slip out of the hand.
Preferably, a strap is fixed to the rear end of the handle. During fishing, users can hang the dip net on their shoulders with the strap before a fish is caught, so as to carry the dip net conveniently and effortlessly.
Preferably, an end cover is arranged at the front end of the base body and is connected with the base body in a buckled manner. The end cover has a sealing effect, so that water is prevented from entering the hoop mounting base during fish scooping, which may otherwise cause rusting of the spring and the rotary shaft in the hoop mounting base under a humid condition; and the quality of the spring and the rotary shaft is guaranteed, locking is facilitated, and the service life of the dip net is prolonged.
Preferably, the hoop mounting base is connected with the handle in a threaded manner. The handle and the hoop mounting base are of a detachable structure and can be separated to reduce the size during transportation, so that transpiration and carrying are facilitated, and the transportation cost is reduced.
Compared with the prior art, the technical solution adopted by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. According to the dip net provided with the lockable and foldable handle, the hoop is connected with the hoop mounting base through the rotary shaft, the handle and the hoop are foldable and can be folded to reduce the size for transportation and carrying, and thus, the dip net can be carried conveniently; when the dip net is used, the handle and the hoop are unfolded; and compared with traditional dip nets which need to be assembled before use, the dip net of the invention is more convenient to use and capable of saving time and labor.
2. The spring, the lock catch and the buckle in the hoop mounting base are matched to lock the rotary shaft; when the handle and the hoop need to be folded, the buckle is pulled backwards to make the lock catch move backwards, then the rotary shaft is released by the lock catch, and the spring is compressed, so that the handle and the hoop are folded; and when the hoop needs to be locked, the buckle is released, and the lock catch is pushed by the elastic force from the spring to move forwards to lock the rotary shaft. By adoption of such structure, forces can be reasonably transmitted. Compared with the 360° gear-type fish basket adjustment device mentioned in the description of related art, the dip net of the invention is easier to operate, stable in structure after being locked, and long in service life.
