Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a wire pressing tool for a network module, and more particularly to a wire pressing tool for a network module that uses a support base and a switching block to cooperate to switch between a 90° socket and a 180° socket.

Background Art

[0002] For a connector applied to a network (or called a network socket, a network module, a base, etc.), the connector is usually divided into two types: 90° and 180°. The 90° socket is more suitable for use in buildings, while the 180° socket is applicable to both data centers (data centers / power grid rooms) and buildings. In addition, for a fast wire pressing tool applied to a connector, the current wire pressing tool can already electrically connect the connector and the wire at the fastest speed and can cut off the redundant core wires (i.e., conductors, there are 8 core wires for network wires and 4 core wires for voice wires), and there is no need to change the specifications of the existing connector and wire. However, the 90° and 180° network sockets themselves have different types, with different cutter travel distances and sizes and shapes of the wire punching seats (i.e., IDC seats / piercing type terminal seats), resulting in the situation where the tool holders cannot be shared. Therefore, before leaving the factory, it is necessary to decide which corresponding tool head should be installed on the wire pressing tool according to the type of the socket. There is also a two-in-one communication connector wire pressing device, which is a wire pressing device that can press and fix two different specifications of communication connectors and the corresponding wires. However, it is very inconvenient to replace the tool head at the construction site.

[0003] There is another wire pressing hand tool that can also interchange a spare another wire pressing head (or called a crimping and cutting tool, a tool holder, a tool head, etc.) with the wire pressing head originally placed on the second carrier (i.e., the carrier of the tool head), and utilize two different carrier areas of the first carrier (i.e., the carrier of the socket) to switch the carriers of the 90° and 180° sockets by rotating the first carrier. Its core advantage lies in using a single first carrier to accommodate multiple carrier areas to adapt to the 90° and 180° bases. However, when replacing different types of bases, it is also inconvenient to replace the tool holder; and for the rotation and switching, the first carrier is pivoted and rotated along a lower rotating shaft perpendicular to the horizontal first pliers body (i.e., the main body of the tool). When wire pressing, the tool holder will apply a horizontal crimping thrust to the socket, but it only relies on the rotating shaft below the force application direction as the object against which the thrust is resisted. Since the rotating shaft and the tool holder are not on the same horizontal plane, it cannot directly withstand the pushing force, and there is inevitably a risk of insufficient strength and easy tipping.

[0004] At present, it has not been found that all the crimping tools on the market can make the 90° and 180° sockets share a single blade seat. Because the external dimensions of the wire connection seats of the sockets are slightly different, it is necessary to customize the blade heads again, that is, one type of socket requires one type of blade head.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the inconvenience in construction caused by the need to replace the blade head in the conventional technology and the obvious lack of strength in switching the base by rotation, the applicant, through careful experiments and research, and with an perseverant spirit, finally conceived the present invention, which can overcome the deficiencies of the conventional technology. The following is a brief description of the present invention.

Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention relates to a crimping tool for a network module, including a tool body, a support base, a switching block, etc. The tool body has a first shaft hole; the support base is installed on the tool body and has a first accommodation groove, a second shaft hole, a block abutment top, and a 180° socket abutment top; and the switching block has a second accommodation groove, a third shaft hole, and a rotating shaft. The switching block is rotatably connected to the support base and the tool body by passing the rotating shaft through the first shaft hole, the second shaft hole, and the third shaft hole, and the rotating shaft enables the switching block to change between a first position and a second position. When the switching block is in the first position, a part of the switching block is located in the first accommodation groove, and the block abutment top abuts against the switching block, so that a 90° socket accommodation seat for accommodating a 90° socket is formed between the remaining part of the first accommodation groove and the second accommodation groove of the switching block; and when the switching block is in the second position, the switching block is outside the first accommodation groove, so that a 180° socket accommodation seat for accommodating a 180° socket is formed between the first accommodation groove of the support base and the socket abutment top.

DETAILED IMPLEMENTATION MANNER

[0013] In order to make it possible to cut two types of sockets with only one cutter head, it is necessary to design the sizes of the tangent and wire pressing parts of the wire connecting seats of 90° and 180° sockets to be the same. The wire pressing tool for the network module proposed by the present invention can use only one cutter head to complete the tangent and crimping of these two types of sockets, namely 90° and 180°, without the need to replace the cutter head. Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 collectively, which shows a wire pressing tool 10 for a network module, including a tool body 11 (usually made of iron), a support base 12, a switching block 13, etc. The tool body 11 has a first shaft hole 141; the support base 12 is installed on the tool body 11 and has a first receiving groove 21 as shown in Figure 2 FIG., a second shaft hole 142, a block abutting top 22, and a 180° socket abutting top 23; and the switching block 13 has a second receiving groove 242, a third shaft hole 143, and a rotating shaft 15. The switching block 13 is rotatably connected to the support base 12 and the tool body 11 by passing the rotating shaft 15 through the first shaft hole 141, the second shaft hole 142, and the third shaft hole 143, and the rotating shaft 15 enables the switching block 13 to change between a first position as shown in Figure 3 FIG. and a second position as shown in Figure 4 FIG. When the switching block 13 is in the first position, a part of the switching block 13 is located in the first receiving groove 21, and the block abutting top 22 abuts against the switching block 13, so that a remaining part of the first receiving groove 21 and the second receiving groove 242 of the switching block 13 form a 90° socket receiving seat 32 for receiving a 90° socket 31 as shown in Figure 3 FIG. And when the switching block 13 is in the second position, the switching block 13 is outside the first receiving groove 21, so that a 180° socket receiving seat 42 for receiving a 180° socket 41 as shown in Figure 4 FIG. is formed between the first receiving groove 21 of the support base 12 and the 180° socket abutting top 23, and the sizes of the tangent and wire pressing parts of the wire connecting seat 33 of the 90° socket 31 and the wire connecting seat 43 of the 180° socket 41 are designed to be the same.

[0014] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the crimping tool 10 further includes a horizontal connecting rod 16, wherein the second receiving groove 242 of the switching block 13 has a 90° socket abutment top 26, the tool body 11 has a first opening 171, and the support base 12 has a second opening 172, and the support base 12 is fixed to the tool body 11 by the horizontal connecting rod 16 passing through the first opening 171 and the second opening 172. The crimping tool 10 includes a knife seat 18, which is installed on the tool body 11, and is used to cut and crimp the core wires in the 90° socket 31 and the 180° socket 41. When the knife seat 18 cuts and crimps the 90° socket 31, the 90° socket abutment top 26 receives the force of the knife seat 18, and when the knife seat 18 cuts and crimps the 180° socket 41, the 180° socket abutment top 23 receives the force of the knife seat 18.

[0015] See also Figure 5 The switch block 13 has a fixed block structure of a first hook 51 and a second hook 132, and the support base 12 has a third hook 53 and a fourth hook 54. When the 90° socket is crimped, the third hook 53 is used to clamp the first hook 51, and when the 180° socket is crimped, the fourth hook 54 is used to clamp the second hook 132. The switch block 13 has a first positioning abutment top 521 and a Figure 6 The second positioning abutment 62 is shown, and the support base 12 has a third positioning abutment 63 and a fourth positioning abutment 64. When the 90° socket is crimped, the third positioning abutment 63 is used to abut the first positioning abutment 521, and when the 180° socket is crimped, the fourth positioning abutment 64 is used to abut the second positioning abutment 62. The switching block 13 can be rotated 90° or 180° on the support base 12 by the rotating shaft 15.

[0016] The support base 12 has a protective member 27 (or protective cover) extending from the support base 12. When the switch block 13 is located at the second position, the protective member 27 is located outside the switch block 13 to protect the switch block 13. The wire crimping tool 10 includes a slide 19 slidably mounted on the tool body 11 to mount a tool holder 18, wherein the slide 19 has an extension arm 191, and the support base 12 has a guide groove 121 to guide the movement of the extension arm 191. An adjustment screw 181 is mounted on the tool holder 18 to adjust the wire crimping stroke of the tool holder 18. The wire crimping tool 10 includes a force applying rod 111 mounted on the tool body 11 to push the tool holder 18, and the assembled wire crimping tool 10 is as shown. Figure 7 As shown, the horizontal plane refers to the plane formed by the X-axis and the Z-axis.

[0017] According to other feasible viewpoints, the present invention also discloses a wire pressing tool 10, which includes a tool body 11, a tool holder 18, a support base 12, and a switching block 13. The tool holder 18 is installed on the tool body 11; the support base 12 is installed on the tool body 11 and has a first accommodation groove 21 and a socket abutting top (for example: 180° socket abutting top 23) for accommodating a 180° socket; and the switching block 13 is movably installed on the support base 12 and cooperates with the support base 12 to accommodate a 90° socket 31. When the tool holder 18 presses the wire of the 180° socket 41, the socket abutting top bears the force applied by the tool holder 18.

[0018] In the foregoing embodiment, the wire pressing tool 10 can be designed such that the support base 12 does not have a block abutting top 22 (not shown in the figure). The tool body 10 has a first shaft hole 141. At this time, the support base 12 can only have a second shaft hole 142. The switching block 13 has a rotating shaft 15 and a second accommodation groove 242. The switching block 13 is rotatably connected to the support base 12 and the tool body 11 by passing the rotating shaft 15 through the first shaft hole 141 and the second shaft hole 142, and the rotating shaft 15 bears the force applied by the tool holder 18. When a part of the switching block 13 is located in the first accommodation groove 21, the 90° socket 31 is accommodated between the remaining part of the first accommodation groove 21 and the second accommodation groove 242 of the switching block 13, so that the tool holder 18 presses the wire of the 90° socket 31, and only the rotating shaft 15 and no block abutting top 22 jointly bear the force applied by the tool holder 18. This method is also feasible.

[0019] In each of the foregoing embodiments, the wire pressing tool 10 can also be designed to directly remove the switching block 13 from the support base 12 (that is, without reusing the rotating shaft 15, not shown in the figure). The switching block 13 has a second accommodation groove 242, and the support base 12 has second shaft holes 142 on both sides. The wire pressing tool 10 further includes first and second screws (not shown in the figure) installed on the second shaft holes 142 on both sides for locking the support base 12 to the tool body 11. When the switching block 13 is in the first position, the first accommodation groove 21 and the second accommodation groove 242 accommodate the 90° socket 31, so that the tool holder 18 presses the wire of the 90° socket 31. When the switching block 13 moves to the second position, the first accommodation groove 21 and the socket abutting top accommodate the 180° socket 41. In this embodiment, the first position is that the switching block 13 is located in the first accommodation groove 21 of the support base 12, and the second position is that the switching block 13 is not located in the first accommodation groove 21 of the support base 12. The wire pressing tool 10 includes a block abutting top 22, which cooperates with the support base 12. The block abutting top 22 is integrally formed with the support base 12. The switching block 13, the socket abutting top, and the block abutting top 22 are on the same horizontal plane as the tool holder 18. When the tool holder 18 presses the wire of the 90° socket 31, the switching block 13 and the block abutting top 22 bear the force applied by the tool holder 18.

[0020] In each of the foregoing embodiments, the wire pressing tool 10 can also be modified such that the tool body 11 and the support base 12 are integrally formed (not shown in the figure). In this way, without the rotation shaft 15 and without using the first and second screws to lock the support base 12 to the tool body 11, the structure in which the tool body 11 and the support base 12 are both made of plastic material can directly bear the force applied by the tool holder 18. In another embodiment, the tool body 11 and the support base 12 are not integrally formed, but instead, the engaging portions 122 on both sides of the support base 12 are respectively engaged with the base abutting tops 112 on both sides of the tool body 11, which can also bear the pressure of the tool holder 18 without the need for the rotation shaft 15. Another approach is to replace the original horizontally placed type of the switching block 13 that rotates along the horizontal axis with a structure that performs vertical lifting / lowering of the switching block in the support base; or to divide the switching block 13 into two left and right blocks and then replace it with a structure that performs opening / closing of the two left and right blocks in the horizontal direction (i.e., perpendicular to the direction in which the tool holder presses forward). In actual applications, the switching block 13 of course includes but is not limited to these described structures.

[0021] The present invention can also be a wire pressing tool 10, including a tool body 11, a workpiece (e.g., a tool holder 18), a first working area (e.g., a first receiving groove 21), and a workpiece retaining member (e.g., a switching block 13), etc. The workpiece is installed on the tool body 11 for performing wire crimping and cutting; the first working area is provided on the tool body 11 for accommodating a 180° socket therein; and the workpiece retaining member and the tool body 11 form a second working area (e.g., a second receiving groove 242) for accommodating a 90° socket 31 therein, wherein when the workpiece works on the 90° socket 31, the workpiece retaining member is completely located inside the tool body 11.

[0022] The present invention further provides a wire pressing tool 10, including a tool body 11, a workpiece (e.g., a tool holder 18), a first working area (e.g., a first receiving groove 21), and a workpiece retaining member (e.g., a switching block 13), etc. The workpiece is installed on the tool body 11 for performing wire crimping and cutting work, wherein when the workpiece performs the crimping and cutting work, the workpiece moves in a first direction FD (as Figure 7 shown); the first working area is provided on the tool body 11 for accommodating a 180° socket 41 therein; and the workpiece retaining member has a rotation shaft 15, is provided on the tool body 11, and forms a second working area (e.g., a second receiving groove 242) with the tool body 11 for accommodating a 90° socket 31 therein, wherein the direction AD of the rotation shaft 15 (as Figure 7 shown) and the first direction FD both extend in the horizontal direction.

[0023] The present invention further provides a wire pressing tool 10, including a tool body 11, a working piece (such as a tool holder 18), a first working area (such as a first accommodating groove 21), and a workpiece retaining member (such as a switching block 13), etc. The working piece is installed on the tool body 11 for performing wire pressing and cutting; the first working area is arranged on the tool body 11 for accommodating a 180° socket 41 therein; and the workpiece retaining member and the tool body form a second working area (such as a second accommodating groove 242) for accommodating a 90° socket 31 therein, wherein the formation of the first working area has nothing to do with the workpiece retaining member.

[0024] The present invention additionally provides a wire pressing tool 10, including a tool body 11, a working piece (such as a tool holder 18), a first working area (such as a first accommodating groove 21), and a workpiece retaining member (such as a switching block 13), etc. The working piece is installed on the tool body 11 for performing wire pressing and cutting; the first working area is arranged on the tool body 11 for accommodating a 180° socket 41 therein; and the workpiece retaining member and the tool body form a second working area (such as a second accommodating groove 242) for accommodating a 90° socket 31 therein, wherein when the working piece works on the 180° socket 41, the workpiece retaining member is located outside the tool body 11.

[0025] In summary, the present invention can, with a brand-new design, by means of the cooperation of the support base and the switching block, easily switch between the 90° socket accommodating seat and the 180° socket accommodating seat on the same wire pressing tool to perform wire pressing on the 90° socket and the 180° socket, and by skillfully using the horizontal rotating shaft on the tool body, can successfully enable the support base to fully bear the lateral thrust of the tool holder. Therefore, those skilled in the art can make various modifications by exercising their ingenuity, but all are within the scope of protection as claimed in the appended patent application.
