Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of golf bag preparation, in particular to a tool for installing elastic struts in a golf bag and a method for installing the same. Background Art

[0002] During the manufacturing process of a golf bag, an installer needs to manually implant an elastic strut in the bag. The implantation process requires a skilled installer to manually bend the strut with great force and then insert it into a fixed short tube, slot or jack at the bottom and top of the bag and then release it, so as to use the elastic force of the strut to straighten and stabilize the bag in an upright state.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention "golf club bag" with patent number 201020613638.X includes a bag body 1, a base 2, a head frame 3, support legs 4, a strut 5 and a traction rope 6; the base 2 is composed of a bowl-shaped bottom cover 21 and a bowl-shaped rotating seat 22, the rotating seat 22 is sleeved inside the bottom cover 21, and a plurality of struts 5 are arranged between the rotating seat 22 and the head frame 3; the head frame 3 is fixed to the top end of the bag body 1, and the strut 5 is installed between the strut plug hole 222 on the rotating seat 22 of the base 2 and the strut plug hole 33 on the head frame 3. During installation, it is necessary to first place the support rod 5 in the bag body 1, then bend the support rod 5 with force to make it bend elastically, and then align the two ends of the support rod 5 with the support rod insertion hole 222 on the rotating seat 22 of the base 2 and the support rod insertion hole 33 on the head frame 3, and then cancel the bending force on the support rod 5. The support rod 5 straightens under the action of its own elastic force to be inserted into the support rod insertion hole 222 and the support rod insertion hole 33, so that the bag body can be supported by the support rod 5 into a straight state.

[0004] However, the manual operation of bending the pole directly requires high wrist strength and consumes a lot of physical energy. At the same time, in most cases, the working space in the golf bag is small. People with strong wrists tend to have thicker arms and cannot directly enter the bag to work. People with thin arms tend to have less strength and it is difficult to complete the installation of the pole after bending. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a golf bag elastic pole installation tool that is small in size and suitable for installers with less strength. Summary of the invention

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: the middle part of the first pillar and the middle part of the second pillar are hinged by a rotating shaft, and the distance from the pressing part to the axial center line of the rotating shaft is less than the distance from the sliding rod to the axial center line of the rotating shaft.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: a camera is installed on the upright support frame, and the camera is used to assist in viewing the interior of the golf bag.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: the camera faces downward to shoot.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: a portion of the curved clearance groove close to the top end stopper and / or a portion of the curved clearance groove close to the bottom end stopper can be rotatably provided with a guide roller, and the guide roller corresponds to the support rod.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: the outer circumferential surface of the guide roller is arranged in a concave arc shape.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: the pressing surface on the pressing part for pressing the middle part of the support rod is set in an inward arc shape; the resisting surface on the top end resisting part for corresponding to the top end of the support rod is set in an inward arc shape; the resisting surface on the bottom end resisting part for corresponding to the bottom end of the support rod is set in an inward arc shape.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: a handle is connected to the upright support frame.

[0015] The present invention also provides the following technical solution: a method for installing an elastic support rod in a golf bag, the specific steps are as follows:

[0016] S1. First, place the support pole on the installation position of the elastic support pole installation tool in the golf bag, and then move the support pole and the elastic support pole installation tool in the golf bag into the golf bag; or first, move the support pole and the elastic support pole installation tool in the golf bag into the golf bag, and then place the support pole on the installation position of the elastic support pole installation tool in the golf bag;

[0017] S2, pulling the tension wire or the tension column upward with force, so that the slide bar is in the first sliding state in the vertical guide rail, at which time the support rod is bent by the pressing part, the top end stop part, and the bottom end stop part;

[0018] S3, after the top end and the bottom end of the support pole are inserted into the corresponding support pole insertion holes in the golf bag, cancel the tension on the tension line or the tension column;

[0022] The tool for installing elastic struts in a golf bag has a simple structure and a small overall size. When bending the struts in the golf bag, only one hand is needed to stabilize the upright support frame and the other hand is needed to apply force to make the slide bar slide on the vertical guide rail. The degree to which the installer's hand is inserted into the golf bag is greatly reduced, and the force-applying part is mainly concentrated on the lower end of the slide bar or the second support. For installers with strong wrist strength and thick arms, the tool for installing elastic struts in a golf bag can reduce the amount of arm extension and make it more convenient to install the struts. For installers with weak wrist strength and thin arms, the tool for installing elastic struts in a golf bag only needs to concentrate force on a certain point, so that the struts are easier to bend and the installation is more convenient.

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] See also Figure 1-5, a tool for installing elastic struts in a golf bag, comprising an upright support frame 1 in the shape of an elongated strip, the upright support frame 1 being provided with an installation position for placing a support pole 100, the installation position comprising a bottom end stopper 2 corresponding to the bottom end of the support pole 100, a top end stopper 3 corresponding to the top end of the support pole 100, and a curved clearance groove 4 corresponding to the middle part of the support pole 100; a cross support 5 is also installed on the upright support frame 1, the cross support 5 comprises a first support 51 and a second support 52, the middle part of the first support 51 and the middle part of the second support 52 are hingedly arranged, the upper end of the first support 51 is hingedly arranged with the upright support frame 1, the lower end of the second support 52 is connected with a sliding rod 6, a vertical guide rail 7 corresponding to the sliding rod 6 is formed on the upright support frame 1, the lower end of the first support 51 and / or the upper end of the second support 52 is a top pressing portion 501 corresponding to the curved clearance groove 4, Figure 2 As shown, both the lower end of the first support 51 and the upper end of the second support 52 have a pressing portion.

[0033] The slide bar 6 has a first sliding state on the vertical guide rail 7 in which the pressing portion 501 presses the middle part of the support rod 100 toward the curved clearance groove 4, and a second sliding state in the opposite sliding direction to the first sliding state; that is, when the pressing portion 501 does not press the middle part of the support rod 100 toward the curved clearance groove 4, the middle part of the support rod 100 is located between the curved clearance groove 4 and the pressing surface of the pressing portion 501.

[0034] By applying force to the lower end of the first pillar 51 or to the sliding rod 6, the sliding rod 6 is placed in a first sliding state on the vertical guide rail 7, that is, when the sliding rod 6 slides on the vertical guide rail 7 in a direction toward the upper end of the first pillar 51, since the upper end of the first pillar 51 is hinged to the upright pillar frame 1, the middle part of the first pillar 51 and the middle part of the second pillar 52 are hingedly rotated, and the middle part of the first pillar 51 and the middle part of the second pillar 52 gradually approach the bending clearance groove 4. Correspondingly, the pressing portion 501 is in a pressing state of pressing the middle part of the support rod 100 toward the bending clearance groove 4, and the support rod 100 is finally elastically bent under the joint action of the bottom end stop portion 2, the top end stop portion 3 and the pressing portion 501.

[0035] The tool for installing the elastic support rod in the golf bag has a simple structure and a small overall size. When bending the support rod in the golf bag, only one hand is needed to stabilize the upright support frame 1 and one hand is needed to apply force to make the slide bar 6 slide on the vertical guide rail. The extent to which the installer's hand reaches into the golf bag is greatly reduced, and the force application part is mainly concentrated on the lower end of the slide bar 6 or the second support 52.

[0036] A handle 12 may be connected to the upright support frame 1 . The handle 12 is preferably close to the top of the upright support frame 1 . The installer may hold the handle 12 to stabilize the upright support frame 1 .

[0037] For installers with strong wrists and thick arms, the elastic strut installation tool inside the golf bag can be used to reduce the amount of arm extension, making it easier to install the strut; for installers with weak wrists and thin arms, the elastic strut installation tool inside the golf bag only needs to concentrate force on a certain point, making the strut easier to bend and more convenient to install.

[0038] The slide bar 6 is arranged to slide vertically on the vertical guide rail 7, so that the lower end of the second support 52 basically maintains movement in the vertical direction, so that the range of lateral movement is small, that is, the space required lateral is small, so that the elastic support rod installation tool in the golf bag is more flexible when moving in the golf bag.

[0039] The slide bar 6 is connected to the end surface as close to the lower end of the second support 52 as possible, so as to reduce the range of lateral movement of the lower end of the second support 52 as much as possible.

[0040] Preferably, the middle part of the first pillar 51 and the middle part of the second pillar 52 are hinged by a rotating shaft 53, and the distance from the top pressing part 501 to the axial center line of the rotating shaft 53 is less than the distance from the sliding rod 6 to the axial center line of the rotating shaft 53. The corresponding force arm is smaller, so that the force required to be applied to the sliding rod 6 is smaller, which is more suitable for installers with less strength.

[0041] When it is suitable for installing a strut with an outer circumferential surface, the pressing surface on the pressing part 501 for pressing the middle part of the strut 100 can be set in a concave arc shape, the blocking surface on the top end blocking part 3 corresponding to the top end of the strut 100 can be set in a concave arc shape, and the blocking surface on the bottom end blocking part 2 corresponding to the bottom end of the strut 100 can be set in a concave arc shape, so that the strut position is not easily offset during the bending process of the strut 100, and the bending process is more stable.

[0042] A tension line or tension column 8 is connected to the slide bar 6, and a vertical guide groove 9 corresponding to the tension line or tension column 8 is formed on the upright support frame 1. One end of the tension line or tension column 8 passes through the vertical guide groove 9 from top to bottom and is finally connected to the slide bar 6. Taking the tension column 8 as an example, the end of the tension column 8 away from the slide bar 6 can be extended upward to a height that is convenient for the installer to apply force, wherein the vertical guide groove 9 can guide the tension column 8, making it easier to pull the slide bar 6 to slide on the vertical guide rail 7.

[0043] A guide roller 11 is rotatably provided at a portion of the bending clearance groove 4 near the top stopper 3 and / or at a portion of the bending clearance groove 4 near the bottom stopper 2, and the guide roller 11 corresponds to the support rod 100. When the support rod 100 is bent, the guide roller 11 can further reduce the friction between the support rod 100 and the top stopper 3 and / or reduce the friction between the support rod 100 and the bottom stopper 2, so that the support rod 100 is easier to bend, that is, the force required to be applied to the lower end of the sliding rod 6 or the second support 52 is smaller.

[0044] When installing a support rod with an outer circumferential surface, the outer circumferential surface of the guide roller 11 can be set in a concave arc shape, so that the support rod position is not easily offset during the bending process of the support rod 100, and the bending process is more stable.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2-3 Preferably, a limiting top block 502 is formed on the pressing portion 501. When the upper end of the second pillar 52 is provided with a pressing portion 501, the limiting top block 502 corresponds to the upper end of the first pillar 51, and when the sliding rod 6 is in the second sliding state, the limiting top block 502 can eventually abut against the upper end of the first pillar 51 to stop the sliding rod 6 from the second sliding state.

[0046] It can be set that when the limiting top block 502 abuts against the upper end of the first pillar 51: the angle between the upper end of the first pillar 51 and the lower end of the second pillar 52 at the hinge (the angle toward the curved clearance groove 4) is ≤180°, so that the sliding rod 6 can stably perform the first sliding state.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, a camera 10 is installed on the upright support frame 1, and the camera 10 is used to assist in viewing the inside of the golf bag. Correspondingly, there is an external display screen (not shown) connected to the camera 10 for image signal connection. When the support pole is installed, the display screen can be placed outside the golf bag, and the display screen and the camera 10 can be connected by wire or wireless signal.

[0048] When installing the support pole, the camera 10 is used to view the inside of the golf bag, so that the end of the support pole can be more easily aligned with the support pole insertion hole in the golf bag, making installation more convenient.

[0049] Preferably, the camera 10 faces downwards for filming. The golf bag is usually open at the top, and filming downwards can make it easier to insert the pole into the pole insertion hole at the bottom of the golf bag. The pole insertion hole at the top of the golf bag is closer to the top opening of the golf bag, so the pole can be inserted by naked eyes or by hand.

[0050] The present invention also provides a method for installing an elastic support rod in a golf bag, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0051] S1. First, place the support rod 100 on the installation position of the elastic support rod installation tool in the golf bag, and then move the support rod 100 and the elastic support rod installation tool in the golf bag into the golf bag; or first, move the support rod 100 and the elastic support rod installation tool in the golf bag into the golf bag, and then place the support rod 100 on the installation position of the elastic support rod installation tool in the golf bag;

[0052] S2, pull the tension wire or tension column 8 upward, so that the slide bar 6 is in the first sliding state in the vertical guide rail 7, at this time, the support rod 100 is bent by the pressing part 501, the top stop part 3, and the bottom stop part 2;

[0053] S3, after the top end of the support rod 100 and the bottom end of the support rod 100 are inserted into the corresponding support rod insertion holes in the golf bag, cancel the tension on the tension line or the tension column 8;

[0054] S4, removing the elastic support rod installation tool in the golf bag from the side of the support rod 100;

[0055] Before step S2, the top of the support rod 100 corresponds to the top stop 3, the bottom of the support rod 100 corresponds to the bottom stop 2, and the middle of the support rod 100 corresponds to the curved clearance groove 4. This installation method is convenient for installation by using the elastic support rod installation tool in the golf bag.

[0056] The specific steps of inserting the support rod 100 into the support rod insertion hole may be:

[0057] The first method is: before step S2, one end of the support rod has been inserted into the corresponding support rod insertion hole in the golf bag, and then after the support rod is bent in step S2, the other end of the support rod is inserted into the corresponding support rod insertion hole in the golf bag;

[0058] The second method: after the support pole is bent in step S2, both ends of the support pole are respectively inserted into corresponding support pole insertion holes in the golf bag.

[0059] It is worth noting that, when the slide bar 6 is in the second sliding state on the vertical guide rail 7, the gap between the top pressing portion 501 and the curved clearance groove 4 is sufficient to allow the support rod 100 to pass through, and as much as possible: the gap between the top pressing portion 501 and the curved clearance groove 4 is greater than the diameter of the support rod 100, thereby making it easier to remove the elastic support rod installation tool in the golf bag from the side of the support rod 100.

[0060] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
