Abstract
Description
Labor-saving tool TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a labor-saving tool, in particular to a labor-saving cutting, clamping or fixing tool formed by a double lever with tooth-shaped structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Garden pruning often uses a pruning shear, for example, a conventional X-shaped scissors is used to prune thin branches, and the excess branches are pruned by operating the tail end of the handle. If thicker branches need to be pruned, a thick branch shear is usually used, for example, the thick branch shear disclosed in CN202320327394.6 invention patent, which mainly works by the cooperation of the gear and the rack to exert the same force to cut thicker branches. However, when cutting, the scissors is equivalent to one handle being fixed, and the other handle is operated to cut, which is easy to cause fatigue.
[0003] For example, some line pliers, wire pliers and other clamping and fixing tools are also conventionally provided in X shape. The X-shaped clamping and fixing tool has the defect that the length of the handle needs to be extended to save labor, but the length of the handle is affected by the operation space. Therefore, some new labor-saving clamping and fixing tools have been derived, for example, the labor-saving pliers disclosed in CN115256255A invention patent, which uses a crank to increase the length of the force arm, making it more labor-saving than existing pliers. However, such clamping tools also have the same defects as the thick branch shear disclosed in CN202320327394.6 invention patent. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a labor-saving tool that can be more labor-saving when operated, and the operation process is similar to that of an X-shaped scissors, which can overcome the defect of easy fatigue of a single handle.
[0005] The present application comprises working member I and working member II that are hinged to each other and act on both sides of the structure to be clamped, and connecting rod I and connecting rod II for controlling working member I and working member II. The working member I and the working member II are provided with teeth, and the connecting rod I and the connecting rod II are also provided with teeth. The teeth of the working member I and the connecting rod II are engaged with each other, and the teeth of the working member II and the connecting rod I are engaged with each other. The working member I is hinged to the connecting rod I, and the working member II is hinged to the connecting rod II.
[0006] In use, the working member I and the working member II are respectively arranged at two sides of the structure to be clamped (for example, the branch to be pruned), the gear on the connecting rod I drives the working member II to open and close around the hinge shaft when the connecting rod I moves, the gear on the connecting rod II drives the working member I to open and close around the hinge shaft when the connecting rod II moves, meanwhile, the working member I and the connecting rod I are hinged, a screw with a thread at the tail can be arranged at the hinge position, the hinge can be realized by the nut, and the relative fixing effect can be realized at the same time, so that the connecting rod I can drive the working member I to move when the connecting rod I moves, and the connecting rod II can drive the working member II to move according to the same principle; of course, the three hinge positions can also be arranged to realize the completely free rotation, at this time, the working member I and the working member II can only rotate around the hinge shaft through the gear transmission, and the connecting rod I and the connecting rod II cannot drive the working member I and the working member II to rotate. Due to the arrangement of the gear, the opening and closing amplitude of the connecting rod I and the connecting rod II is larger than that of the X-shaped clamping tool when the working member I and the working member II open the same amplitude, and the labor can be saved when cutting or clamping.
[0007] Further, the labor-saving tool further comprises at least one reinforcing piece, the working member I and the working member II are hinged through the pin shaft I, the working member I and the connecting rod I are hinged through the pin shaft II, and the working member II and the connecting rod II are hinged through the pin shaft III; the two ends of the reinforcing piece are fixed on the pin shaft I and the pin shaft II, and / or are fixed on the pin shaft I and the pin shaft III. The reinforcing piece can prevent the working member I, the working member II, the connecting rod I and the connecting rod II from shaking, and the three hinge shafts form a triangle, so that the stability and firmness of the labor-saving tool are ensured.
[0008] Further, the hinge position is provided with a gasket, and the gasket can prevent the reinforcing piece from being abraded by the mutual friction between the reinforcing piece and the working member I, the working member II, the connecting rod I and the connecting rod II.
[0009] Further, the number of gears on the working member I and the connecting rod II is the same, the number of gears on the working member II and the connecting rod I is the same, and the number of gears on the working member I and the working member II can be the same or different. The different number of gears can make the opening speeds of the working member I and the working member II different.
[0010] Further, the number of gears on the working member I is one more or one less than the number of gears on the working member II.
[0011] Further, in order to make the labor-saving tool more beautiful, the structure more compact, and the production cost lower, the tail of the working member I is hinged to the connecting rod I, the hinge shaft of the working member I and the connecting rod I, that is, the pin shaft II, is located below the top gear of the connecting rod I, the top of the connecting rod II is provided with a gear, the tail of the working member II is hinged to the connecting rod II, and the hinge shaft of the working member II and the connecting rod II, that is, the pin shaft III, is located below the top gear of the connecting rod II.
[0012] Further, the working part I is provided with a blade, and the working part II is provided with a rubber tooth, and the contact position between the rubber tooth and the to-be-clamped structure is sawtooth-shaped, or the working part I and the working part II are both provided with a blade, and when the blade is provided, the labor-saving tool can be used as scissors, and the rubber tooth can increase the contact area between the working part and the branch, so that the branch is fixed, the shaking of the branch is reduced, and the blade can play a shearing role, of course, the rubber tooth can be made of rubber or metal.
[0013] Further, the working part I and the working part II are both provided with a rubber tooth, a friction-resistant structure or a structure for increasing friction, and when the structure is provided, the tool can be used as a clamp or the like clamping tool, and the friction-resistant structure has an effect similar to that of the rubber tooth and can reduce the shaking of the clamped tool.
[0014] Further, the tail parts of the connecting rods I and II are used for connecting handles, and the handles are telescopic handles. The connecting rods I and II can be directly used as handles for the convenience of use in different occasions, or are used after being connected with the handles.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the labor-saving tool has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) In the case that the working part I and the working part II have the same opening as other conventional tools, the labor-saving tool can be more labor-saving than conventional clamping tools.
[0017] (2) The separation of the working part and the connecting rod can ensure that the operator is always located in the middle position of the connecting rods I and II during clamping, so that the defect that the handles are located on one side of the body during operation of the CN202320327394.6 invention and the unilateral force is easy to cause fatigue is overcome.
