Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of clip nut installation, and in particular to a clip nut quick installation tool and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The card nut is a nut widely used in communication cabinets for fixing equipment. It consists of an elastic shell with a card foot and a square nut. The square nut is provided with a transparent threaded hole. When installing, the elastic card foot needs to be compressed and placed into the square hole reserved in the cabinet hanging column. The elastic card foot rebounds to complete the positioning and installation of the card nut, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the equipment in the cabinet.

[0003] In engineering production, the cage nuts are usually installed or removed by prying with a flat-blade screwdriver or clamping and squeezing with needle-nosed pliers. Since the contact surface of the flat-blade screwdriver is small and the surface of the cage nut is smooth, the contact between the two is not stable, the screwdriver is easy to slip, and injure the operator's hand. The nut is easy to fall into the narrow space in the cabinet and is not easy to take out, resulting in a waste of resources and affecting the later cleaning of the machine room. At the same time, the contact surface between the needle-nosed pliers and the cage nut is inclined, and the cage nut and the needle-nosed pliers are also easy to slide relative to each other and disconnect, further increasing the trouble of disassembling and assembling the cage nuts. When a large number of cage nuts need to be disassembled and assembled, due to the lack of convenient operating tools, more manpower, material resources and time are required, and it is easy to cause greater harm to the operator.

The elastic shell 21 is provided with two clips: a first clip 211 and a second clip 212 . A large number of mounting holes 31 are provided on the cabinet hanging column 3 as clip-on fixing holes for the clip nut 2 .

[0038] When in use, first tilt the first foot 211 on one side of the clip nut 2 and install it into the mounting hole 31 of the cabinet column 3, then use the driving part to drive the clamping part to close, so that the clip nut quick-install tool clamps the clip nut 2 and the cabinet column 3, and then use the ejector 11 to support the second foot 212, so that the second foot 212 also enters the mounting hole of the cabinet column, thereby completing the installation. During the whole process, the human hand does not need to touch the clip nut 2, which can well avoid injuries to the staff. The ejector 11 is a ejector plate that matches the size of the foot of the clip nut.

[0039] In one embodiment, the clamping portion includes a pressing plate 12 and a supporting portion 13 spaced apart from the pressing plate 12 . The pressing plate 12 is used to abut against the clip nut 2 , and the supporting portion 13 is used to abut against the cabinet hanging column 3 .

[0040] Furthermore, in order to better clamp, the pressing plate 12 is inclined toward the clamping area so that it can better resist the clip nut 2; the supporting portion 13 is L-shaped, one end of which is vertically connected to the end of the main body 1, and the other end extends horizontally toward the front, and can extend to the bottom of the cabinet hanging column 3 when in use, so that it can provide support as a fulcrum.

[0041] In one embodiment, the main body 1 is an elastic frame structure formed by bending a sheet, and a slanted curved portion is formed at the bent portion of the main body 1. In this way, the main body 1 can be deformed by squeezing itself, so that the clamping portion can be closed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the driving portion includes a pressing section 14 located in the middle of the main body 1.

[0043] The specific principle of the cage nut quick-install tool is explained below:

[0044] First, perform positioning pre-installation, see Figure 4 As shown, a mounting hole 31 is selected on the cabinet hanging column 3, the clip nut 2 is tilted, and its first clip foot 211 is placed into the mounting hole 31 and fits against the hole wall.

[0045] Then push the clamping foot, see Figure 5 As shown, the tongue-shaped push-up piece of the clip nut quick-installation tool extends into the recess (neck) of the second clip foot 212 of the clip nut 2, and the notch at the support portion 13 "engages" the wall of the cabinet hanging column 3. The clip nut quick-installation tool is pushed in the direction of the arrow, and the second clip foot 212 of the clip nut 2 reaches the position of the mounting hole 31 due to the pushing.

[0046] Then pinch and press into place, see Figure 6 As shown, when the operating space is sufficient, maintain the state of step 2, pinch the clip nut quick-install tool with two fingers in the direction of the arrow, and with the help of the fulcrum provided by the support part 13, press the pressing piece 12 against the elastic shell 21 of the clip nut, and press the second clip foot 212 into the mounting hole 31, and the second clip foot 212 automatically rebounds and snaps into the mounting hole 31.

[0047] If the operating space is narrow and pinching is inconvenient, refer to Figure 7 As shown, keep the state of step 2, pull the arm 15 of the clip nut in the direction of the arrow with two fingers, and with the help of the fulcrum, press the pressing piece 12 to the elastic shell 21 of the clip nut, and press the second clip foot 212 into the installation hole 31, and the second clip foot 212 automatically rebounds and snaps into the installation hole 31.
