DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a tool for quickly dismantling an MC4 joint, comprising a dismantling block 1 and a dismantling mechanism 3, a fixing mechanism 2 is arranged on one side of the surface of the dismantling block 1, and a dismantling mechanism 3 is arranged inside the dismantling block 1;

[0021] The dismantling mechanism 3 includes a limiting hole 301, a movable groove 302, a through hole 303, a pressing block 304, a support plate 305, a connecting rod 306, a reset spring 307 and an extrusion block 308. A limiting hole 301 is provided on one side of the surface of the dismantling block 1, a movable groove 302 is provided inside the dismantling block 1, a through hole 303 is provided on one side of the surface of the dismantling block 1, a pressing block 304 is penetrated inside the through hole 303, one end of the pressing block 304 is fixedly connected to the support plate 305, one side of the surface of the support plate 305 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 306, one side of the surface of the support plate 305 is fixedly connected to the reset spring 307, and the other end of the connecting rod 306 is fixedly connected to the extrusion block 308. 3. The arrangement of the pressing block 304, the support plate 305, the connecting rod 306, the return spring 307 and the extrusion block 308. When in use, the removal block 1 is fixed at a suitable position of the MC4 joint by the fixing mechanism 2 so that the extrusion block 308 is embedded in the joint slot, and then the pressing block 304 is pressed. At this time, one end of the pressing block 304 passes through the through hole 303 to drive the support plate 305 to move toward the joint, so that the support plate 305 moves inside the movable groove 302, and the support plate 305 drives the extrusion block 308 to move into the joint slot through the connecting rod 306. The return spring 307 is compressed and deformed inside the movable groove 302, so that the extrusion block 308 squeezes the block in the slot to make the block detach from the slot, so that the joint can be removed.

[0022] Furthermore, two groups of removal blocks 1 are provided, and the removal blocks 1 are arc-shaped blocks. Through the setting of the removal blocks 1, when in use, the removal blocks 1 are arc-shaped blocks so that they can fit with the MC4 joints.

[0023] Furthermore, the limiting hole 301 is connected to the movable groove 302, and the movable groove 302 is connected to the through hole 303. Through the setting of the movable groove 302, when in use, the movable groove 302 can provide a movable space for the support plate 305 and the return spring 307.

[0024] Furthermore, the support plate 305 is embedded in the movable groove 302, and one end of the connecting rod 306 passes through the through hole 303. Through the setting of the support plate 305, when in use, the support plate 305 can transfer the force exerted on the pressing block 304 to the connecting rod 306 and the return spring 307.

[0025] Furthermore, a return spring 307 is arranged inside the movable groove 302, and two groups of return springs 307 are arranged. One end of the return spring 307 is fixedly connected to the removal block 1. Through the setting of the return spring 307, when the force acting on the pressing block 304 disappears, the return spring 307 will rebound and deform, thereby driving the support plate 305 to return to its original position.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism 2 includes a connecting shaft 201, a protective sheet 202, a handle 203, an anti-slip strip 204, an anti-slip block 205 and a top column 206. One end of the removal block 1 is connected to the connecting shaft 201, one side of the surface of the removal block 1 is bonded with the protective sheet 202, the other end of the removal block 1 is fixedly connected to the handle 203, one side of the surface of the handle 203 is bonded with the anti-slip strip 204, one end of the handle 203 is fixedly connected to the anti-slip block 205, one side of the surface of the handle 203 is fixedly connected to the top column 206, and the connecting shaft is used to fix the anti-slip strip 204 on the handle 203. 201, protective sheet 202, handle 203, anti-slip strip 204, anti-sliding block 205 and top column 206 are arranged. When in use, the connecting shaft 201 can connect the two groups of removal blocks 1, and make the two groups of removal blocks 1 rotate with each other. The handle 203 can drive the removal block 1 to rotate. The anti-slip strip 204 on the handle 203 can increase the friction between the operator's hand and the handle 203 to prevent the handle 203 from slipping from the hand. The top column 206 can make the removal block 1 move to a suitable position for limitation during movement.

[0027] Furthermore, the protective sheet 202 is made of silicone material, and the anti-slip strip 204 is made of rubber material. Through the provision of the protective sheet 202, when in use, the protective sheet 202 can prevent the removal block 1 from damaging the MC4 connector when clamping the connector.

[0028] Working principle: First, rotate the removal block 1 through the handle 203 and the connecting shaft 201, and fix the removal block 1 at the appropriate position of the MC4 joint through the fixing mechanism 2 so that the extrusion block 308 is embedded in the joint slot, and then press the pressing block 304. At this time, one end of the pressing block 304 passes through the through hole 303 to drive the support plate 305 to move toward the joint, so that the support plate 305 moves inside the movable groove 302, and the support plate 305 drives the extrusion block 308 to move into the joint slot through the connecting rod 306. The return spring 307 is compressed and deformed inside the movable groove 302, so that the extrusion block 308 squeezes the block in the slot to make the block detach from the slot, so that the joint can be removed.

[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
