For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0060] The probe assembly and disassembly tool and the probe assembly and disassembly method according to the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention aims to provide an embodiment of a disassembly and assembly tool 100 for a probe 120 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the probe 120 disassembly tool 100 can be used for disassembly of the probe 120 itself, and can also be used for disassembly of a needle cover, and for mutual disassembly of the probe 120 and the needle cover, and should not be limited to the probe 120 itself.

[0063] The probe 120 disassembly and assembly tool 100 of the present embodiment is intended to reduce the bending deformation of the probe 120 to avoid affecting the use of the probe 120 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the disassembly and assembly tool 100 of the probe 120 mainly includes a disassembly and assembly component, which includes a base body 130 and a sliding member 140. A clamping structure is provided on the sliding member 140, and the clamping structure can fix the probe 120 to the sliding member 140. When the sliding member 140 slides along the base body 130, the clamping structure drives the probe 120 to move synchronously to disassemble and assemble the probe 120.

[0065] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As for the clamping structure, the clamping structure includes a first limiting member 190, a second limiting member 220 and a chuck 150, wherein the first limiting member 190 is provided with a first limiting cavity 170, and the second limiting member 220 is provided with a second limiting cavity 180, and the first limiting cavity 170 and the second limiting cavity 180 cooperate to accommodate the chuck 150.

[0066] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the chuck 150 may include a plurality of clips 160 arranged in a ring shape, and the probe 120 may be accommodated between the plurality of clips 160 . Therefore, when the plurality of clips 160 are gathered together, the clips 160 fit against the probe 120 to clamp the probe 120 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the number of the clips 160 is four, so that the total area of ​​the clips 160 contacting the probes 120 is less reduced, and the clips 160 have greater elastic deformation capacity, thereby expanding the clamping range.

[0068] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the clamp 150 may include a first tube 230 , and a plurality of clips 160 are disposed along the end of the first tube 230 , so that the plurality of clips 160 are evenly distributed and concentrically disposed.

[0069] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the first tube 230 may be smaller than the thickness of the clip 160 to improve the wear resistance of the clip 160 and enable the clip 160 to have good elastic deformation ability.

[0070] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of the outer surface of the clip 160 may be made larger than the outer diameter of the first tube 230 , so that the clip 160 is thicker and protrudes outward, thereby improving the strength of the clip 160 .

[0071] At the same time, when the first limiting member 190 and the second limiting member 220 limit the clip 160, after the clip 160 is gathered, the inner surface of the clip 160 tends to be flush with the inner surface of the first tube 230, which can fit the probe 120 well and increase friction.

[0072] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the outer surface of the clip 160 may be provided with a guiding cone surface to facilitate the application of force to the clip 160 so that the clip 160 can be gathered and spread out.

[0073] When the first limiting member 190 and the second limiting member 220 are close to each other, that is, when the first limiting cavity 170 and the second limiting cavity 180 are relatively close or even partially overlapped, at least one of the first limiting cavity 170 and the second limiting cavity 180 is used to abut against the multiple clips 160 so that the multiple clips 160 are gathered together and clamp the probe 120.

[0074] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second limiting cavity 180 can accommodate and position the first tube 230 .

[0075] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, the second limiting member 220 is provided to position the second limiting cavity 180 to position the first tube 230, thereby limiting the direction in which the chuck 150 approaches the first limiting cavity 170, thereby preventing the chuck 150 from being deflected and affecting the effect of the clip 160 being gathered and fixed.

[0076] Accordingly, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first limiting member 190 can be provided with a first limiting cavity 170 having a tapered inner surface 200, and the tapered inner surface 200 is used to abut against the free ends of the plurality of clips 160 to bring the plurality of clips 160 together.

[0077] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, the tapered inner surface 200 is provided so that the tapered inner surface 200 is used to abut the free ends of multiple clips 160. Therefore, when the multiple clips 160 are gathered together, the free ends and roots of the clips 160 are both in contact with the probe 120, which increases the contact area and improves the reliability of clamping the probe 120.

[0078] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second limiting cavity 180 may be provided with a tapered inner surface 200 , and the first limiting cavity 170 is used to position the first tube 230 , without affecting the gathering and spreading of the clips 160 .

[0079] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the entity forming the second limiting cavity 180 may be made to abut against the clip 160 along the direction from the first tube 230 to the clip 160 to gather the clip 160 .

[0080] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the tapered inner surface 200 on the first limiting member 190 may cooperate with the entity forming the second limiting cavity 180 so that the clips 160 are evenly gathered to fit the probe 120 and improve the clamping effect.

[0081] In summary, this embodiment sets a disassembly and assembly component, so that the disassembly and assembly component includes a base body 130 and a sliding member 140, and a clamping structure for clamping the probe 120 is set on the sliding member 140. Therefore, when it is necessary to disassemble and assemble the probe 120, the clamping structure is first used to fix the probe 120 and the sliding member 140, and then the sliding member 140 is moved. The sliding member 140 slides along the base body 130, which can drive the probe 120 to move, and then the disassembly and assembly of the probe 120 is completed. The disassembly and assembly includes pulling the probe 120 out of the needle sleeve or needle plate 110, and also includes installing the probe 120 into the needle sleeve or needle plate 110, and can also include inserting the needle sleeve into the needle plate 110 or pulling it out from the needle plate 110, and has multiple uses.

[0082] At the same time, the sliding direction of the sliding member 140 is restricted by the base body 130, and the sliding trajectory of the sliding member 140 is a straight line, which can be parallel to the axis of the probe 120, so that the probe 120 is subjected to balanced force and is not prone to bending, thereby protecting the probe 120 and avoiding affecting the use of the probe 120.

[0083] In this embodiment, a clamping structure is provided, wherein the clamping structure includes a clamp 150, and the clamp 150 includes a plurality of clips 160, and the plurality of clips 160 are arranged in a ring. Therefore, when the plurality of clips 160 gather together to clamp the probe 120, the contact area and the friction force can be increased to ensure that the probe 120 and the sliding member 140 are fixed together. At the same time, the pressure between the clip 160 and the probe 120 can be reduced to avoid the probe 120 from being crushed and reduce the wear of the clip 160.

[0084] In this embodiment, by setting the first limiting cavity 170 and the second limiting cavity 180, the squeezing of the clip 160 can be adjusted by changing the distance between the entity forming the first limiting cavity 170 and the entity forming the second limiting cavity 180, so that the clip 160 can be gathered and dispersed for multiple uses.

[0085] At the same time, the first limiting cavity 170 and the second limiting cavity 180 can realize synchronous extrusion of the multiple clips 160, ensuring that the deviation between the clamping centers of the multiple clips 160 and the center of the probe 120 is small, thereby improving the reliability of the clamping of the clips 160.

[0086] This embodiment provides the first limiting cavity 170 and the second limiting cavity 180 , thereby facilitating replacement of the chuck 150 , maintenance, and replacement of different chucks 150 for disassembly and assembly of probes 120 of different specifications, and also facilitating disassembly and assembly of bushings.

[0087] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the disassembly and assembly tool 100 may further include an equivalent replacement rod, which is equivalent to the probe 120 to facilitate the installation of the probe 120 and the needle sleeve.

[0088] It is easy to understand that, by providing an equivalent replacement rod, this embodiment can prevent the clip 160 from directly contacting the probe 120 or the needle sleeve, which is suitable for situations where clamping is inconvenient, thereby expanding the scope of application.

[0089] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the equivalent replacement rod can be a stepped rod, one end of which is clamped by the clamp 160, and the other end of the stepped rod is inserted into the needle sleeve. The radial outer surface of the stepped rod has a step, which abuts against the end edge of the needle sleeve to press the needle sleeve into the needle plate 110.

[0090] It is easy to understand that the present embodiment provides a step rod, so that, on the one hand, it is possible to avoid clamping the needle sleeve and preventing the needle sleeve from being deformed and unable to transmit the installation force. On the other hand, the step rod can be installed into the needle sleeve, and then the needle sleeve can be clamped to remove the needle sleeve, thereby reducing the deformation of the needle sleeve and simplifying the disassembly and assembly of the needle sleeve.

[0091] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the equivalent replacement rod may be a needle tube.

[0092] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, a needle tube is provided. Therefore, when in use, one end of the needle tube is clamped by the clamp 160, and the other end of the needle tube accommodates the tip of the probe 120. Driven by the sliding member 140, the needle tube presses the probe 120 into the needle plate 110, thereby preventing the tip of the probe 120 from being small and difficult to clamp and apply force, reducing the types of specifications of the chuck 150, and preventing the tip of the probe 120 from being damaged.

[0093] Regarding the first limiting member 190 , in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the tapered inner surface 200 may be provided with a first through hole 210 , and the first through hole 210 is used to accommodate the probe 120 to pass through, so that the probe 120 is inserted between the plurality of clips 160 .

[0094] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, the first through hole 210 is set, so when the probe 120 extends between the multiple clips 160, the tapered inner surface 200 abuts against the free end of the clip 160, so that the free end of the clip 160 quickly gathers and clamps the probe 120, which is convenient, fast, and reliable. It avoids the free end of the clip 160 being suspended in the air due to the probe 120 not being in place, avoids affecting the fixing effect, and prevents the clip 160 from being excessively gathered and bent.

[0095] In terms of usage, if the probe 120 is inserted from the first through hole 210, then the clips 160 will certainly clamp the probe 120 after gathering, and if the probe 120 is inserted from the first tube 230, then the end of the probe 120 may not reach the clip 160. Therefore, there may be a situation where the clips 160 do not clamp or do not clamp the probe 120 securely after gathering, which limits the application of the disassembly and assembly tool 100.

[0096] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first limiting member 190 may have a tapered outer surface corresponding to the tapered inner surface 200 .

[0097] It is easy to understand that, in this embodiment, by setting a tapered outer surface, the space occupied by the first limit member 190 can be reduced to facilitate layout, and at the same time, the wall thickness of the first limit member 190 is made uniform to facilitate production and manufacturing.

[0098] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first limiting member 190 may be referred to as a clamping cap to suit its appearance characteristics.

[0099] At the same time, the tapered outer surface also allows the first stopper 190 to penetrate into the slot 300 , thereby increasing the travel of the disassembly probe 120 .

[0100] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the sliding member 140 may be provided with a second through hole for mounting the first limiting member 190 .

[0101] It is easy to understand that, in this embodiment, by providing the second through hole, the need for installing and fixing the first limiting member 190 is met, while not affecting the insertion of the probe 120 into the first through hole 210 .

[0102] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second through hole may be a countersunk hole.

[0103] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, by configuring the second through hole as a countersunk hole, the first limiting member 190 can be prevented from escaping from the second through hole.

[0104] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, ribs and grooves for accommodating the ribs may be provided between the inner surface of the second through hole and the outer surface of the first limiting member 190 .

[0105] It is easy to understand that this embodiment can limit the rotation of the first limiting member 190 by setting ribs and grooves for accommodating the ribs between the inner surface of the second through hole and the outer surface of the first limiting member 190, thereby facilitating the second limiting member 220 to rotate relative to the first limiting member 190 to complete locking and loosening.

[0106] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second through hole and the first limiting member 190 may be interference-fitted, adhesively-fitted, or welded to simplify the structure.

[0107] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a side screw may be provided, which passes through the second through hole in a radial direction of the second through hole and abuts against the first stopper 190 to fix the first stopper 190. Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown.

[0108] For the second limiting member 220 , in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second limiting member 220 may be provided with a threaded portion 240 , and the threaded portion 240 is used to adjust the distance between the second limiting cavity 180 and the first limiting cavity 170 .

[0109] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, by providing the threaded portion 240, the limiter can be rotated to adjust the screwing length of the threaded portion 240 to complete the adjustment and clamping fixation, and the structure is simple, reliable and easy to operate.

[0110] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the threaded portion 240 may be an external thread, and the first limiting cavity 170 may be provided with an internal thread that matches the threaded portion 240 .

[0111] It is easy to understand that, in this embodiment, an internal thread is set in the first limiting cavity 170. Therefore, the inner surface and the outer surface of the end of the second limiting member 220 can be fully utilized to complete the arrangement of the second limiting cavity 180 and the external thread, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty. At the same time, it is beneficial to shorten the length of the second limiting member 220 and reduce the outer dimensions of the disassembly and assembly tool 100, so that the structure of the disassembly and assembly tool 100 is more compact.

[0112] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the threaded portion 240 may be an internal thread, but the diameter of the second limiting member 220 needs to be increased to arrange the second limiting cavity 180 and the internal thread and maintain the corresponding strength.

[0113] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second limiting member 220 can be rod-shaped, and the length direction of the second limiting member 220 is set along the sliding direction of the sliding member 140. The two ends of the second limiting member 220 are respectively a locking end and an operating end, and the second limiting cavity 180 is set on the end face of the locking end.

[0114] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, the second limit member 220 is set to a rod shape. On the one hand, the second limit member 220 has a locking end, and the locking end is provided with a second limit cavity 180. Therefore, by operating the second limit member 220, the distance between the first limit cavity 170 and the second limit cavity 180 can be changed to clamp or release the probe 120. On the other hand, the second limit member 220 has an operating end, and the operating end can be pushed and pulled to drive the sliding member 140 to slide, thereby completing the disassembly and assembly of the probe 120, thereby realizing structural complexity and having multiple functions, so that the disassembly and assembly tool 100 has a more compact structure.

[0115] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the seat body 130 can be provided with a third through hole 250 for accommodating the sliding of the second limiting member 220, the third through hole 250 includes a circular hole section and a semicircular section 260, the semicircular section 260 is provided with a sliding groove 270 for the sliding of the sliding member 140, the sliding member 140 has an outer circular portion 280 that cooperates with the semicircular section 260, and the outer circular portion 280 is provided with a sliding rail portion 290 that cooperates with the sliding groove 270.

[0116] It is easy to understand that, in this embodiment, by providing the third through hole 250 , the second position-limiting member 220 can be limited, so as to prevent the second position-limiting member 220 from being skewed when force is applied, thereby improving the reliability of the disassembly and assembly of the probe 120 .

[0117] The present invention can extend the matching length between the third through hole 250 and the second limiting member 220 by providing the semicircular segment 260 , further improve the precision of the moving direction of the second limiting rod, and reduce the deflection of the second limiting member 220 .

[0118] At the same time, the semicircular segment 260 is provided with a slide groove 270, so that the sliding range of the sliding member 140 can overlap with the sliding range of the second limiting rod, reducing the height of the disassembly tool 100 and making the disassembly tool 100 more compact.

[0119] At the same time, the outer circular portion 280 and the slide rail portion 290 are provided to increase the contact area between the sliding member 140 and the seat body 130, reduce the possibility of the sliding member 140 tipping over during sliding, and avoid affecting the transmission direction of the disassembly and assembly force.

[0120] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the seat body 130 may be provided with a notch 300 for positioning the needle sleeve, the outer side of the needle sleeve is provided with a bayonet matching the notch 300 , and the inner side of the needle sleeve is used to install the probe 120 .

[0121] It is easy to understand that, in this embodiment, by providing the notch 300 , the needle sleeve can be fixed, and the probe 120 and the needle sleeve can be disassembled and assembled.

[0122] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the seat body 130 may have a mold surface, and the normal direction of the mold surface is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding member 140 .

[0123] It is easy to understand that, by providing the mold surface, this embodiment also facilitates the sliding member 140 to slide in a direction perpendicular to the needle plate 110, and further, the probe 120 can be disassembled and assembled vertically to meet the use requirements.

[0124] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, bolts can be provided on the second limiting member 220 and the seat body 130. The bolts are fixed by threads, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly. Moreover, the bolts can be used for hand-held force application, which is convenient for operation.

[0125] The present invention also aims to provide a method for disassembling and assembling a probe 120, which is applied to a disassembly and assembly tool 100 of the probe 120 of any one of the above-mentioned items. The disassembly and assembly method includes: placing the chuck 150 in the first limiting cavity 170 and the second limiting cavity 180, so that the probe 120 is inserted between multiple clips 160, and then, the first limiting cavity 170 and the second limiting cavity 180 are relatively close, so that the multiple clips 160 abut against the corresponding limiting cavities, and the multiple clips 160 gather to clamp the probe 120, and move the sliding member 140 to disassemble and assemble the probe 120.
