[0019] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, a circlip pliers with a quick shift conversion function for internal and external clips includes a fixed body 1 and a movable body 2. A circular positioning hole 9 is provided inside the fixed body 1 near the upper end. A shift pin 3 adapted to it is assembled inside the positioning hole 9. A gear position boss 13 with an integral structure is provided at the rear end of the shift pin 3, and an inner hole 14 is provided at the front end. A first circlip pin 7 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed body 1. A shift adjustment groove 10 adapted to the shift pin 3 is provided near the upper end of the movable body 2. The shift pin 3 passes through the positioning hole 9 of the fixed body 1, the shift adjustment groove 10 of the movable body 2, and is connected to a compression spring 4 and a shift button 5.
[0020] A second circlip pin 8 is fixedly connected to the front end of the movable body 2. The first circlip pin 7 and the second circlip pin 8 have the same specifications.
[0021] The shift adjustment groove 10 of the movable body 2 is V-shaped, and an external clip gear position concave platform 12 and an internal clip gear position concave platform 11 are provided at both ends. A gear position boss 13 with an integral structure is provided at the rear end of the shift pin 3. The gear position boss 13 is used to cooperate with the external clip gear position concave platform 12 or the internal clip gear position concave platform 11 to complete gear position locking. The pin shaft 15 on the shift button 5 is riveted to the inner hole 14 of the shift pin 3.
[0022] The first circlip pin 7 and the second circlip pin 8 are in corresponding positions and are both located on the vertical central plane of the fixed body 1 and the movable body 2. This design enables the first circlip pin 7 and the second circlip pin 8 to align with the holes on the external circlip and the internal circlip during use, realizing the clamping and fixing of the external circlip and the internal circlip.
[0023] In this embodiment, plastic handle sleeves 6 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the lower halves of the fixed body 1 and the movable body 2. The plastic handle sleeves 6 have the characteristics of softness and anti-slip, can provide a more comfortable holding feeling for users, and can effectively reduce hand fatigue and discomfort when using the circlip pliers for a long time. At the same time, the plastic handle sleeves 6 can increase the friction between the handle and the hand, preventing slippage during use.
[0024] A rectangular kit 20 is provided on the fixed body 1 and the movable body 2. The plastic handle sleeve 6 parts of the fixed body 1 and the movable body 2 both pass through the rectangular kit 20. A power assist mechanism is provided at the top of the rectangular kit 20. The power assist mechanism includes a fixed sleeve 21, a power assist screw 22, a movable block 23, and a push shaft 26. The push shaft 26 is located inside the rectangular kit 20, on the side of the movable body 2 away from the fixed body 1. The fixed sleeve 21 is fixed to the top of the rectangular kit 20. The fixed sleeve 21 is provided with internal threads, and the outer surface of the power assist screw 22 has external threads. Through the cooperation of the internal threads and the external threads, the fixed sleeve 21 and the power assist screw 22 are threadedly connected. One end of the power assist screw 22 is rotatably connected to the movable block 23. One end of the power assist screw 22 is fixedly connected with a knob 30 with anti-slip lines and an inclined operating shaft 31. The power assist screw rod 22 can be driven to rotate by rotating the knob 30 or the operating shaft 31, making it more convenient to rotate the power assist screw 22.
[0025] A chute 24 is formed at the top of the rectangular kit 20. A sliding block 25 is slidably connected in the chute 24. The top of the sliding block 25 is fixedly connected to the movable block 23, and the bottom of the sliding block 25 is rotatably connected to the push shaft 26. When the movable block 23 moves, the push shaft 26 can be driven to move together through the sliding block 25.
[0026] A tension spring 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular kit 20. The bottom of the tension spring 27 is fixedly connected to a movable ring 28. The tension spring 27 has an upward pulling force on the movable ring 28. The top of the movable ring 28 is fixedly connected to a fixed shaft 29. The top of the fixed shaft 29 extends through the tension spring 27 into the interior of the rectangular kit 20. Both the bottom of the fixed body 1 and the plastic grip 6 thereon have openings that are connected together. The fixed shaft 29 extends into the opening at the bottom of the fixed body 1, clamping the fixed body 1 inside the rectangular kit 20. At this time, the rectangular kit 20 cannot move freely, and the movable body 2 can move freely in the horizontal direction. Pull the movable ring 28 downward to drive the fixed shaft 29 to move downward. The fixed shaft 29 is separated from the fixed body 1. At this time, the rectangular kit 20 can be removed from the fixed body 1, making the rectangular kit 20 freely installable and usable.
[0027] The working principle of a snap ring pliers with an internal and external card quick shift conversion function: During use, the user first presses the shift button 5 according to the need, makes the shift button 5 contact the side of the fixed body 1, so that the compression spring 4 is compressed, the gear boss 13 of the shift pin 3 disengages from the outer card gear concave 12, and the movable body 2 moves up and down along the V-shaped groove of the shift adjustment groove 10, avoiding the first snap spring pin 7 on the same plane of the head of the fixed body 1, and then moves upward along the V-shaped groove of the shift adjustment groove 10 to reach the inner card gear concave 11. Release the shift button 5, and the reset of the compressed compression spring 4 drives the gear boss 13 of the shift pin 3 to contact and lock with the inner card gear concave 11, realizing the conversion from outer card to inner card. Similarly, reverse operation realizes the conversion from inner card to outer card.
[0028] The shift pin 3 moves up and down along the V-shaped groove of the shift adjustment groove 10, avoiding the direct left and right movement of the movable body 2, realizing the indirect left and right movement of the movable body 2 on the fixed body 1, and realizing the conversion of the outer card and inner card functions. The inner and outer card conversion function enables the same tool to adapt to different types of snap spring installation requirements without replacing the tool, improving work efficiency, and is applicable to the installation and disassembly of snap springs in various working environments.
[0029] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , whether it is an outer card or an inner card, it is necessary to press the two plastic handle sleeves 6 in the direction of approaching each other, driving the tails of the fixed body 1 and the movable body 2 to approach. When it is necessary to assist the tails of the fixed body 1 and the movable body 2 to approach, rotate the assist screw 22 counterclockwise. The assist screw 22 drives the movable block 23, the sliding block 25 and the push shaft 26 to move, and the push shaft 26 pushes the tail of the movable body 2, so that the tail of the movable body 2 approaches the tail of the fixed body 1, replacing the manual pressing of the two plastic handle sleeves 6.
[0030] After installing or disassembling the snap spring with the snap ring pliers, rotate the assist screw 22 clockwise. The assist screw 22 drives the movable block 23, the sliding block 25 and the push shaft 26 to move, and the push shaft 26 resets; Since the push shaft 26 is located on the side of the tail of the movable body 2 away from the tail of the fixed body 1, if no assistance is required, the plastic handle sleeve 6 of the movable body 2 can also be directly pressed manually, making it more convenient to use the snap ring pliers.
