Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of archaeological tools, and in particular to a multifunctional handle for an archaeological hand shovel. Background Technology

[0002] Archaeological hand shovels are the most essential basic tools in field archaeological excavations, widely used in key operations such as site clearing, artifact retrieval, and stratigraphic division. The practicality, adaptability, and ease of use of their handles directly affect the efficiency, accuracy, and user experience of archaeological work. With the continuous development of archaeological technology, field archaeological scenarios are becoming increasingly complex, such as nighttime excavation and operations in low-temperature environments.

[0003] Archaeological excavations often need to be carried out in pits, dark corners, or at night. Traditional handles do not have integrated lighting structures, so workers need to carry additional lighting tools such as flashlights and headlamps. This not only occupies both hands and affects the flexibility of operation, but also makes it difficult to accurately match the lighting angle and position to the excavation area, which can easily create blind spots and increase the risk of damage to artifacts or misjudgment of stratigraphy.

[0004] Traditional handles are usually connected to the shovel head by welding or fixing bolts, which can only be used with a single size of shovel. When it is necessary to change to a different size or type of shovel, the entire handle must be replaced, which is costly and cumbersome. In low-temperature environments such as winter and high altitude, the materials of traditional handles (such as wood and ordinary metal) conduct heat quickly and the surface temperature is extremely low. Workers are prone to hand stiffness and discomfort after holding them for a long time, which not only reduces the flexibility of operation, but may also affect the safety of operation and the continuous working time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a multifunctional handle for an archaeological shovel that can heat the handle body, adjust the lighting position, and replace the shovel.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention: a multi-functional handle for an archaeological hand shovel, comprising, handle body; The lighting assembly is slidably mounted on the handle body; A knob assembly is provided on the handle body; The support component is embedded in the handle body; The clamping assembly is slidably mounted on the support assembly and abuts against the knob assembly; A heating handle is provided on the handle body; A switch is provided on the handle body and electrically connected to the lighting assembly and the heated handle; A storage battery is housed within the handle body and is electrically connected to the switch.

[0007] Preferably, the support assembly includes a threaded post threadedly connected to the handle body, two guide blocks, each located at the lower end of the threaded post, and a base disposed on the guide blocks; the clamping assembly is slidably disposed on the guide blocks.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes two clamping blocks that are slidably disposed on the guide block, two sets of two sliding frames that are respectively disposed on the two clamping blocks, and a sliding roller disposed on the sliding frame and slidably connected to the guide block.

[0009] Preferably, one side of the guide block is inclined, and a guide groove is provided on the guide block; the sliding roller is slidably embedded in the guide groove; and the clamping block is provided with a receiving groove for embedding the guide block.

[0010] Preferably, one of the clamping blocks is provided with a slide rail, which is slidably embedded in the other clamping block; the base is provided with a guide component for pushing the clamping blocks apart.

[0011] Preferably, the base is provided with a through groove, and the guide assembly includes two guide pieces respectively disposed on the two clamping blocks and embedded in the through groove, and an elastic member two disposed on the base and located on the outer periphery of the two guide pieces and connected to the clamping blocks.

[0012] Preferably, the knob assembly includes a cap threadedly connected to the handle body, and a clamping block disposed on the cap, which is hollow in the center and abuts against the clamping block.

[0013] Preferably, the lighting assembly includes a lampshade disposed on the swivel cover, a rotating column disposed on the swivel cover, and an LED bead disposed on the rotating column; the swivel cover is provided with an adjustment assembly for adjusting the tilt angle of the clamping block.

[0014] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes an elastic element disposed on the cap and abutting against the lamp bead, and an abutment bolt threaded onto the cap and abutting against the lamp bead.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: In this invention, by setting up a lighting component and a sliding component, the extension length of the support rod can be adjusted by pressing the sliding column, thereby adjusting the position of the lighting component. At the same time, the rotating seat can flexibly adjust the illumination angle of the lamp tube, achieving precise lighting of the excavation area without the need to carry additional lighting tools. The guide plate and the elastic contact at the end of the support seat cooperate to ensure a continuous and stable power supply during the sliding of the support rod, avoiding lighting interruption, effectively eliminating blind spots, reducing the risk of damage to relics, and improving the safety and accuracy of nighttime and dark environment operations.

[0016] With the coordinated action of the clamping assembly, knob assembly, and support assembly, the elastic element 2 can push the clamping block to expand automatically, facilitating the quick insertion of the shovel handle. Twisting the cap will drive the clamping block to close along the guide groove of the guide block via the clamping block, achieving quick clamping of the shovel. The clamping force can be adjusted by tightening the cap for a more secure fixation. The slide rail ensures the stability of the clamping block's movement when it closes, preventing loosening. It is also compatible with shovel handles of different diameters, allowing for switching between multiple shovel sizes without changing the handle.

[0017] By setting up a heated handle and electrically connecting it to a battery and switch, operators can easily control the heating handle to start and stop via the switch. This quickly raises the handle's grip temperature in low-temperature environments, preventing hands from freezing and becoming uncomfortable, significantly improving comfort and operational flexibility in low-temperature operations, and ensuring continuous work capability.

[0018] The first elastic element of the moving component pushes the sliding column to make the support rod fit tightly with the support base, and the position of the lighting component is fixed by friction. The adjustment process does not require additional tools and is simple to operate. The clamping component achieves automatic reset and expansion through the second elastic element. With the screw drive of the screw cap, the disassembly and assembly of the hand shovel does not require complicated operations and is highly efficient. The guide block, guide plate, slide rail and other guiding structures ensure that the movement of each component is smooth. The first and second elastic elements provide a continuous and stable force, so that the position of the lighting component is reliably fixed and the clamping component is firmly clamped. It is not easy to loosen after long-term use and is suitable for the complex working environment of the archaeological site. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is mutually exclusive, either alone or selectively, with other embodiments.

[0025] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0026] Example 1 like Figure 1-6As shown, the present invention proposes a multi-functional handle for an archaeological hand shovel, comprising: a handle body 1, a lighting component 2, a sliding component 3, a knob component 4, a support component 5, a clamping component 6, a heated handle 8, a switch 9, and a battery. The lighting component 2 is slidably mounted on the handle body 1; the sliding component 3 is mounted on the handle body 1 and rotatably connected to the lighting component 2; the knob component 4 is mounted on the handle body 1; the support component 5 is embedded in the handle body 1; the clamping component 6 is slidably mounted on the support component 5 and abuts against the knob component 4; the heated handle 8 is mounted on the handle body 1; the switch 9 is mounted on the handle body 1 and electrically connected to the lighting component 2 and the heated handle 8; the battery is mounted in the handle body 1 and electrically connected to the switch 9.

[0027] In this embodiment, blind spots are effectively eliminated, the risk of damage to relics is reduced, and the safety and accuracy of operations at night and in dark environments are improved.

[0028] With the coordinated action of clamping component 6, knob component 4 and support component 5, elastic element 702 can push clamping block 601 to expand automatically, facilitating quick insertion of the shovel handle; turning the cap 401 will drive clamping block 601 to close along guide groove 5021 of guide block 502 via pressing block 402, realizing quick clamping of the shovel, and the clamping force can be adjusted by the tightening degree of cap 401, making the fixation more secure; slide rail 604 ensures the movement stability of clamping block 601 when it closes, preventing loosening, and at the same time adapts to shovel handles of different diameters, so that multiple specifications of shovels can be switched without changing the handle.

[0029] By setting up a heated handle 8 and electrically connecting it to a battery and a switch 9, operators can conveniently control the start and stop of the heated handle 8 through the switch 9. This quickly increases the handle's grip temperature in low-temperature environments, preventing hands from freezing and becoming uncomfortable, significantly improving the comfort and operational flexibility of low-temperature operations, and ensuring continuous operation capability.

[0030] The clamping assembly 6 achieves automatic reset and expansion through the elastic element 702, and with the threaded drive of the screw cap 401, the disassembly and assembly of the hand shovel does not require complicated operations and is highly efficient; the guide block 502, guide plate 701, slide rail 604 and other guiding structures ensure the smooth movement of each component.

[0031] Example 2 like Figure 1-6As shown, the present invention proposes a multi-functional handle for an archaeological hand shovel. Compared with Embodiment 1, the lighting component 2 in this embodiment includes a lampshade 201 disposed on the swivel cover 401, a rotating column 203 disposed on the swivel cover 401, and an LED bead 202 disposed on the rotating column 203; the swivel cover 401 is provided with an adjustment component 3 for adjusting the tilt angle of the clamping block 402.

[0032] The adjustment component 3 includes an elastic element 302 disposed on the cap 401 and abutting against the lamp bead 202, and an abutting bolt 301 threadedly connected to the cap 401 and abutting against the lamp bead 202.

[0033] In this embodiment, by rotating the abutment bolt 301, which is threadedly connected to the cap 401, the abutment bolt 301 pushes the lamp bead 202 to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the lamp bead 202 according to usage needs. The elastic element 302 pushes the lamp bead 202 to rotate, making the tilt angle of the lamp bead 202 easier to adjust. When the abutment bolt 301 moves upward, the elastic element 302 pushes it to flip upward, so that the light direction is downward. This allows the lamp tube 202 to be lit when the switch 9 is turned on, and the position of the lamp tube 202 can be freely adjusted to illuminate the excavation direction during archaeological operations.

[0034] Example 3 like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention proposes a multi-functional handle for an archaeological hand shovel. Compared with Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the support component 5 in this embodiment includes a threaded post 501 threadedly connected to the handle body 1, two guide blocks 502 provided at the lower end of the threaded post 501, and a base 503 provided on the guide block 502; the clamping component 6 is slidably disposed on the guide block 502.

[0035] The clamping assembly 6 includes two clamping blocks 601 that are slidably disposed on the guide block 502, two sets of two sliding frames 602 that are respectively disposed on the two clamping blocks 601, and a sliding roller 603 disposed on the sliding frame 602 and slidably connected to the guide block 502.

[0036] The guide block 502 is inclined on one side and has a guide groove 5021. The slide roller 603 is slidably embedded in the guide groove 5021. The clamping block 601 has a receiving groove 6011 for embedding the guide block 502. One of the clamping blocks 601 has a slide rail 604, which is slidably embedded in the other clamping block 601. The base 503 has a guide assembly 7 for pushing the clamping blocks 601 apart. The base 503 has a through groove 5031. The guide assembly 7 includes two guide pieces 701, each disposed on one of the two clamping blocks 601 and embedded in the through groove 5031, and an elastic element 702 disposed on the base 503, located on the outer periphery of the two guide pieces 701 and connected to the clamping block 601. The knob assembly 4 includes a screw cap 401 threadedly connected to the handle body 1, and a clamping block 402 disposed on the screw cap 401, which is hollow in the middle and abuts against the clamping block 601.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the hand shovel is not installed, the second elastic element 702 pushes the clamping block 601 to move upward. The guide plate 701 is used to support and guide the second elastic element 702. When the clamping block 601 moves upward, it drives the sliding frame 602 to move. The sliding frame 602 drives the sliding roller 603 to move. The guide groove 5021 on the guide block 502 guides the sliding roller 603, so that the sliding roller 603 drives the sliding frame 602 and the clamping block 601 to move upward and outward, thereby increasing the distance between the two clamping blocks 601, making it easier to insert the handle of the hand shovel into the clamping block 601. The handle of the shovel is passed through the cap 401 and the clamping block 402, and then inserted between the two clamping blocks 601. The cap 401 is screwed on, causing the clamping block 402 to move downwards. The clamping block 402 presses against the clamping block 601, which moves downwards. The clamping block 601 is guided by the guide block 502, so that it closes as it moves downwards, thus pressing against the handle and fixing it in place. As the cap 401 is tightened, the clamping block 402 moves further downwards, causing the clamping block 601 to clamp the handle more tightly, thus better fixing the handle.

[0038] The threaded post 501 can be threaded to the inner wall of the handle body 1, thus making it easy to adapt to handles with other structures. As long as the end of the handle meets the requirements of the inner and outer diameters, it can be tapped and connected to the threaded post 501 and the screw cap 401, thereby reducing production costs.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
