Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of civil aviation maintenance, and in particular relates to a tool for removing a metal end of an earphone blocked in an earphone jack in an airplane cabin. Background Art
[0002] Domestic civil aircraft maintenance companies encounter a variety of problems during short stops and post-flight maintenance. Among them, the problem of blockage of the headphone jack of the aircraft cabin in-flight entertainment system equipment has become the norm. This is because during the flight, passengers use headphones very frequently, and it is easy for the metal end of the headphone at the front end of the headphone plug to break and get blocked in the headphone jack, making the headphone socket unusable. If it is not handled in time, it will reduce the comfort of passengers. Long-distance passengers often complain about this problem.
[0003] In order to solve the problem of headphone jacks, the traditional maintenance method on various types of existing civil aircraft is to disassemble the headphone jack as a whole, or disassemble the TV set containing the headphone jack as a whole, and then replace it. The disassembled headphone jack or TV set needs to be sent to a special maintenance department for repair. However, the entire process from discovering the fault to receiving the parts for replacement takes too long, and the disassembly is cumbersome, and various corresponding tools are required, which wastes manpower, material and financial resources. The maintenance efficiency is low, and the frequent use of multiple tools will reduce the service life of the tools, increase the risk of tool omission, and cause flight delays. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a tool for removing the metal end of an earphone stuck in an earphone jack in an airplane cabin, which is easy to use and has high removal efficiency.
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A tool for removing the metal end of an earphone stuck in the headphone jack in an airplane cabin, characterized in that it includes a handle, a connecting rod and a ferrule, the outer diameter of the connecting rod is matched with the inner diameter of the headphone jack, the handle is fixed at the rear end of the connecting rod, the ferrule is fixed at the front end of the connecting rod, the inner diameter of the ferrule is matched with the outer diameter of the metal end of the earphone stuck in the headphone jack in the airplane cabin, and the ferrule can be fitted onto the metal end of the earphone.
[0007] Furthermore, the ferrule is a hollow cylindrical rubber sleeve.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting rod is a hollow cylinder, and the front end of the connecting rod is nested and fixedly connected with the rear end of the ferrule.
[0009] Furthermore, the handle is a metal ring.
[0010] Furthermore, two side surfaces of the handle are rough surfaces.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting rod is a stainless steel rod.
[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the connecting rod is a smooth surface.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The utility model inserts the connecting rod and the ferrule into the headphone jack of the aircraft cabin through the handle, and covers the metal end of the headphone blocked in the headphone jack of the aircraft cabin through the ferrule, and then pulls it outwards, so that the metal end of the headphone can be taken out together, which is very simple to take out, convenient to use, efficient, and has a good use effect during maintenance.
