DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0027] The invention discloses a special tool for pasting a VIN code.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A special tool for pasting a VIN code includes a gripping handle 1, a middle claw 2, a left claw 3, a right claw 4 and a driving mechanism 5. The gripping handle 1 is a cross-shaped shell structure composed of a main rod 11 and support rods 12 vertically connected to both sides of the main rod 11. In addition, the shell structure of the gripping handle 1 includes an upper cover 13 and a lower cover 14. The upper cover 13 and the lower cover 14 are fixed by screws to facilitate the assembly of the special tool for pasting.

[0029] The middle claw 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the main rod 11 of the gripping handle 1, and the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the middle claw 2, and correspond one to one with the two support rods 12 of the gripping handle 1. The left claw 3 and the right claw 4 are movably connected with the corresponding support rods 12, and the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 can move axially along the support rod 12 through the driving mechanism 5, and the shell of the support rod 12 is correspondingly provided with a long slot for the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 to move; the driving mechanism 5 is arranged in the gripping handle 1, and the output end of the driving mechanism 5 is connected to the left claw 3 and the right claw 4, which can drive the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 to move in relative or opposite directions.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The driving mechanism 5 includes a knob 51, a connecting rod 52 and a cam 53; the two ends of the connecting rod 52 are respectively welded and fixed to the center of the knob 51 and the cam 53, the knob 51 is located at the end of the main rod 11 away from the middle claw 2, the connecting rod 52 is inserted into the main rod 11 and is rotatably connected to the main rod 11; the cross-sectional shape of the cam 53 is elliptical. The left claw 3 and the right claw 4 both include a claw piece 31, a spring tube 32 and a push rod 33, the claw piece 31 is located on one side of the middle claw 2, the spring tube 32 is located in the support rod 12 and can slide axially along the support rod 12, one end of the claw piece 31 is inserted into the support rod 12 and is welded and fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the spring tube 32; one end of the spring tube 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 52, and the other end is provided with a spring 34, and the spring 34 abuts against the inner wall of the support rod 12; the end of the push rod 33 away from the spring tube 32 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the cam 53. When the driving mechanism 5 is used to drive the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 to move, the knob 51 is turned, and the knob 51 drives the cam 53 to rotate through the connecting rod 52. Since the cam 53 is in contact with the push rod 33 and the cross-sectional shape of the cam 53 is elliptical, the push rod 33 and the spring 34 drive the claw piece 31 of the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 to move away from or relative to each other; in this process, the spring 34 applies pressure to the push rod 33 through the spring tube 32, so that the push rod 33 and the cam 53 remain in contact with each other, thereby ensuring the movement stability of the left claw 3 and the right claw 4.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The spring barrel 32 is closed at one end and opened at the other end. The push rod 33 is fixedly connected to the center of the closed end of the spring barrel 32. One end of the spring 34 penetrates into the spring barrel 32 and abuts against the inner wall of the spring barrel 32. A groove is provided on the inner wall of the end of the support rod 12 away from the main trunk. The end of the spring 34 away from the spring barrel 32 is inserted into the groove. The structural design of the spring barrel 32 and the setting of the groove play a limiting and guiding role for the spring 34, ensuring the stability of the telescopic movement of the spring 34.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A first supporting baffle 15 is fixed inside the main rod 11 to support the connecting rod 52 and limit the radial displacement of the connecting rod 52. In this embodiment, two first supporting baffles 15 are provided, and the connecting rod 52 passes through each of the first supporting baffles 15. A positioning ring groove 521 is provided on the outer circumference of the connecting rod 52. The inner side of the first supporting baffle 15 is clamped in the positioning ring groove 521, thereby limiting the axial position of the connecting rod 52.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , one end of the middle claw 2 is inserted into the main rod 11, and a second supporting baffle 16 is fixed in the main rod 11; in this embodiment, two second supporting baffles 16 are provided, and one end of the middle claw 2 that penetrates the main trunk passes through each second supporting baffle 16, and the second supporting baffle 16 supports the middle claw 2 and limits its radial displacement. A positioning hole 22 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the middle claw 2 that penetrates the main rod 11, and a positioning pin 17 is inserted in the positioning hole 22, and the bottom end of the positioning pin 17 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the main rod 11. The design of the positioning pin 17 and the positioning hole 22 plays a positioning role for the middle claw 2 and limits the axial movement of the middle claw 2; when the upper cover 13 and the lower cover 14 are assembled, the middle claw 2 and the gripping handle 1 can remain relatively fixed.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cross-sectional shape of the middle claw 2, the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 in the length direction is a broken line or an arc shape, which is convenient for the tool to be inserted into a narrow space for operation. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the middle claw 2, the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 in the length direction is a broken line shape, wherein a pressing plate 21 is formed at the end of the middle claw 2 away from the gripping handle 1, so as to better press and paste the VIN code.

[0035] The present invention also discloses a VIN code pasting method, which uses the above-mentioned VIN code pasting special tool; the VIN code pasting method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0036] S1: Paste the two ends of the adhesive backing of the VIN code to the upper surfaces of the left claw 3 and the right claw 4, and make the front of the VIN code face the middle claw 2, that is, the pressing plate 21 of the middle claw 2 is located above the front of the VIN code.

[0037] S2: The operator holds the gripping handle 1 and extends the VIN code to the position of the front cross beam of the car to be pasted, and presses the gripping handle 1 downward, so that the pressing plate 21 of the middle claw 2 is pressed against the front of the VIN code, thereby pasting the middle part of the VIN code to the front cross beam of the car; at this time, the two ends of the VIN code are still pasted on the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 respectively;

[0038] S3: Initially, the push rod 33 is in contact with the concave part of the cam 53 under the action of the spring 34. After completing step S2, the operator rotates the knob 51 90°, driving the cam 53 to rotate 90°, so that the protruding part of the cam 53 deflects toward the push rod 33. Since the cross-sectional shape of the cam 53 is elliptical and in contact with the push rod 33, the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 can be driven to move in opposite directions, so that the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 fall off the VIN code;

[0039] S4: The operator controls the middle claw 2 to move horizontally back and forth in the length direction of the VIN code by holding the handle 1, and then the middle claw 2 also sticks the two ends of the VIN code to the front cross beam of the car, thus completing the pasting and installation of the VIN code.

[0040] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the present invention, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present invention through the above description. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
