Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical tool technology, and specifically relates to an oil drum opener. Background Technology
[0002] When opening everyday grease or paint cans, screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, and adjustable wrenches are typically used to remove the lids. In emergency repairs, to save time, some even resort to using utility knives to destructively open the lids. Using multiple tools is inefficient and poses certain safety hazards. Using a utility knife to destructively open the lid also results in the remaining grease not being properly sealed and easily contaminating with impurities. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an oil drum opener that can open the lid quickly, saving time and effort.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An oil drum opener includes an opening rod and a support block. The opening rod includes a handle, a support plate, and a hook plate. The handle, support plate, and hook plate are integrated into one structure. The front end of the hook plate is provided with a hook. The surface of the support block is connected to two support plates. The support plate is connected between the two support plates through a hinge shaft, forming a rotating structure of the opening rod with the hinge shaft as the rotation axis.
[0006] The hook plate includes a first straight section, which is connected to a second straight section. The second straight section is connected to a hook. The first straight section and the second straight section are at an angle of 120°-140°, and the second straight section and the hook are at an angle of 60°-65°.
[0007] Both the support plate and the bracket plate are provided with through holes for installing the hinge shaft.
[0008] The hinge shaft is a rivet structure.
[0009] The hinge shaft is an external hexagonal screw, and the end of the external hexagonal screw is fitted with a lock nut.
[0010] The angle between the handle and the hook plate is 130°-150°.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to carry. It is suitable for disassembling the lids of grease cans and paint cans. Place the lid opener on the lid, engage the hook with the lower edge of the lid, and turn the handle. Using the lever principle, the lid can be easily opened, improving opening efficiency and saving time and effort for replacement. Attached Figure Description
