[0031] See Figures 1 to 7 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a connector dust cover removal tool is provided, which includes a main body 10 and a removal part 20.

[0032] The disassembly part 20 is provided on the main body 10. This disassembly part 20 is at least used to insert the dust cover to apply a resisting force to at least one of the latching part 41 and the locking part 31, thereby disengaging the latching part 41 from the locking part 31. It is understood that the disassembly part 20 is primarily designed to separate the latching part 41 from the locking part 31, thereby facilitating the removal of the dust cover from a predetermined structure. This predetermined structure can be any structure requiring the installation of a dust cover, such as a connector.

[0033] In this invention, the connector dust cover removal tool is used at least to remove the dust cover connected to the connector. The dust cover has a latching part 31, and the connector has a snap-fit ​​part 41 that matches the latching part 31. The connector dust cover removal tool in this embodiment mainly consists of a main body 10 and a removal part 20 provided on the main body 10. The removal part 20 can be inserted into a pre-reserved position on the dust cover to apply a resisting force to at least one of the snap-fit ​​part 41 and the latching part 31, causing the snap-fit ​​part 41 to disengage from the latching part 31, thereby removing the dust cover from the connector. This ensures that the connector is not damaged and that the dust cover can be removed intact for subsequent reuse, effectively saving costs.

[0034] In other words, compared with existing methods of removing dust covers, using the connector dust cover removal tool in this embodiment can effectively protect the connector from damage and ensure that the dust cover is not damaged, saving costs compared with previous methods.

[0035] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the disassembly part 20 includes a first disassembly part 21 and a second disassembly part 22. The first disassembly part 21 and the second disassembly part 22 are respectively disposed on two different sides of the main body 10. The first disassembly part 21 and the second disassembly part 22 are used to disassemble two different types of dust covers.

[0036] Specifically, for ease of distinction, in this embodiment, the two types of dust covers are respectively labeled as the first dust cover 30a and the second dust cover 30b. Correspondingly, the two different dust covers are installed on two different connectors, which are distinguished in this embodiment by the first connector 40a and the second connector 40b. The first dust cover 30a is detachably connected to the first connector 40a, and the second dust cover 30b is detachably connected to the second connector 40b. During disassembly, the first disassembly part 21 is used to insert at least the first dust cover 30a. The first disassembly part 21 can apply a resisting force to at least one of the latching part 31 of the first dust cover 30a and the snap-fit ​​part 41 of the first connector 40a, causing the latching part 31 to disengage from the snap-fit ​​part 41, thereby removing the first dust cover 30a from the first connector 40a. The second disassembly part 22 is used to insert the second dust cover 30b. The second disassembly part 22 can apply a resisting force to at least one of the fastening part 31 of the second dust cover 30b and the snap-fit ​​part 41 of the second connector 40b to disengage the fastening part 31 from the snap-fit ​​part 41, thereby removing the second dust cover 30b from the second connector 40b.

[0037] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, the first disassembly part 21 is disposed on the first side of the main body 10, and the second disassembly part 22 is disposed on the second side of the main body 10 opposite to the first side. The first disassembly part 21, the second disassembly part 22, and the main body 10 can be integrally molded or separately molded. When the first disassembly part 21, the second disassembly part 22, and the main body 10 are integrally molded, they can be machined from a single piece of material or formed by integral injection molding. When the first disassembly part 21, the second disassembly part 22, and the main body 10 are separately molded, they can be formed by turning or integral stamping respectively, and then the first disassembly part 21 is connected and fixed to the first side of the main body 10, and the second disassembly part 22 is connected and fixed to the second side of the main body 10.

[0038] Further, see Figures 2 to 4As shown, the first disassembly part 21 includes at least one release pin 211, specifically designed according to the fastening part 31 on the first dust cover 30a. In this embodiment, there are two fastening parts 31, and correspondingly, two release pins 211 are set to facilitate simultaneous release of the two fastening parts 31. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, there may be three, four, or more release pins 211. In use, the release pin 211 is used to apply a resisting force to at least one of the mating latching part 41 and the fastening part 31 to disengage the latching part 41 and the fastening part 31.

[0039] Specifically, the first dust cover 30a has multiple through holes 301 inside. This embodiment shows the case where the first dust cover 30a has two through holes 301 inside. In other embodiments of this application, the through holes 301 can be three, four, or more. In this embodiment, both through holes 301 have a latching part 31 on their outer sidewalls. The first connector 40a has a latching part 41, which can be inserted from the first end of the through hole 301 and cooperate with the latching part 31 on the first dust cover 30a to fasten the first dust cover 30a onto the first connector 40a. The first disassembly part includes two release pins 211, which are spaced apart on the main body 10. The two release pins 211 are used to insert into the through hole 301 to apply a pushing force to at least one of the latching part 41 and the latching part 31 that are engaged together, so that the latching part 41 of the first connector 40a and the latching part 31 of the first dust cover 30a are disengaged. When the first dust cover 30a is removed from the first connector 40a using a connector dust cover removal tool, the two release pins 211 can be inserted into the through hole 301 from the second end opposite to the first end, so that the snap part 41 of the first connector 40a and the snap part 31 of the first dust cover 30a are disengaged, thereby removing the first dust cover 30a from the first connector 40a and achieving the purpose of removing the dust cover.

[0040] Further, see Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first disassembly part 21 also includes a plurality of hooks 212, which and a plurality of release pins 211 are arranged alternately along the same circumference. The hooks 212 are used to hang on the steps on the outer periphery of the dust cover to pull the dust cover off the connector. The plurality of release pins 211 can be used to insert the second end of the through hole 301 opposite to the first end into the through hole 301 to disengage the latching part 41 of the first connector 40a from the fastening part 31 of the first dust cover 30a.

[0041] Specifically, a step is provided at the first end and / or near the outer periphery of the first dust cover 30a. This step protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the outer surface of the first connector 30a, allowing multiple hooks 212 of the first disassembly part 21 to catch. When the first dust cover 30a is removed from the first connector 40a using a connector dust cover removal tool, two release pins 211 are inserted into the through hole 301 from the second end of the through hole 301. At the same time, multiple hooks 212 gradually approach the step from the outer surface of the first dust cover 30a. After the two release pins 211 separate the latching part 41 of the first connector 40a from the locking part 31 of the first dust cover 30a, the multiple hooks 212 are also hooked on the step. By pulling the first dust cover 30a away from the interface of the first connector 40a, the first dust cover 30a can be removed from the first connector 40a.

[0042] Further, see Figure 3 As shown, the end of the release post 211 away from the main body 10 is provided with a release ramp 2111. The latching part 41 is provided with a ramp that cooperates with the release ramp 2111. The release ramp 2111 is provided to facilitate the separation of the latching part 41 of the first connector 40a and the locking part 31 of the first dust cover 30a by using the release post 211. When the release ramp 2111 contacts the ramp, as the release post 211 is inserted into the through hole 301, the release post 211 can push the latching part 41 towards the axis of the first connector 40a, thereby separating the latching part 41 of the first connector 40a and the locking part 31 of the first dust cover 30a.

[0043] Further, see Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the second disassembly part 22 includes at least one pressing post 221. The at least one pressing post 221 is disposed on the main body 10 to apply a resisting force to at least one of the engaged latching part 41 and the latching part 31, thereby disengaging the latching part 41 and the latching part 31. This embodiment illustrates the case where the second disassembly part 22 includes two pressing posts 221. For ease of description, this embodiment is described as the second disassembly part 22 including two pressing posts 221. In other embodiments of this application, the pressing post 221 may be one, three, or more than three.

[0044] Specifically, the outer periphery of the second connector 40b is provided with at least one blind hole 42. Since the second disassembly portion 22 mentioned in this embodiment includes two pressing posts 221, this embodiment correspondingly shows the second connector 40b having two blind holes 42 on its outer periphery. In other embodiments of this application, the blind hole 42 may be one, three, or more than three. A latching portion 41 is provided on the side of the blind hole 42 near the axis of the second connector 40b. The latching portion 31 of the second dust cover 30b can be inserted through the interface of the second connector 40b so that the latching portion 31 and the latching portion 41 cooperate, thereby installing the second dust cover 30b onto the second connector 40b. When the second dust cover 30b is removed from the second connector 40b using the second disassembly part 22, the two pressing posts 221 can be inserted into the two blind holes respectively. By pressing the side of the blind hole 42 close to the axis of the second connector 40b in the axial direction of the second connector 40b, at least one of the latching part 41 and the locking part 31 is pressed in the axial direction of the second connector 40b, so that the locking part 31 of the second dust cover 30b is separated from the latching part 41 of the second connector 40b, and then the second dust cover 30b can be removed from the second connector 40b.

[0045] Further, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the extrusion post 221 includes a connecting section 2211 and a release section 2212. The connecting section 2211 is connected to the main body 10, and the release section 2212 is located at the end of the connecting section 2211 away from the main body 10. The thickness of the release section 2212 is less than the thickness of the connecting section 2211. The connection section 2211 ensures that the release section 2212 has sufficient length to be inserted into the blind hole. The design that the thickness of the release section 2212 is less than the thickness of the connecting section 2211 allows the two extrusion posts 221 to be smoothly inserted into the blind hole, thereby extruding at least one of the latching portion 31 of the second dust cover 30b and the snap-fit ​​portion 41 of the second connector 40b toward the axis of the second connector 40b, thereby separating the latching portion of the second dust cover 30b from the snap-fit ​​portion 41 of the second connector 40b.

[0046] Furthermore, along the direction away from the connecting section 2211, the thickness of the unhooking section 2212 gradually decreases to zero. This arrangement ensures that the unhooking section 2212 can better fit the structure of the blind hole 42, thereby pressing at least one of the latching portion 31 of the second dust cover 30b and the snap-fit ​​portion 41 of the second connector 40b towards the axis of the second connector 40b, causing the snap-fit ​​portion 41 of the second connector 40b to disengage from the latching portion 31 of the second dust cover 30b. Finally, the second dust cover 30b can be removed from the second connector 40b.

[0047] Furthermore, the main body 10 has a ring structure, with the first disassembly part 21 and the second disassembly part 22 respectively connected to opposite sides of the ring structure. The main body 10 can be a circular ring structure, or a regular or irregular ring structure such as a square, rectangle, or trapezoid. This circular ring structure can be reasonably designed according to the type of dust cover that needs to be disassembled to meet the requirements. This embodiment shows the case where the main body 10 has a circular ring structure. Any other ring structures of the main body 10 that are designed to meet the disassembly of different types of dust covers and to provide installation positions for the first disassembly part 21 and the second disassembly part 22 are all within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0048] As described above, this application, by providing a connector dust cover removal tool consisting of a main body 10, a first removal part 21, and a second removal part 22, can remove the dust cover from the connector. The first removal part 21 is located on the first side of the main body 10 and includes at least one release pin 211 and multiple hooks 212. The at least one release pin 211 is used to separate the latching part 41 of the first connector 40a from the locking part 31 of the first dust cover 30a, and the multiple hooks 212 are used to hook the first dust cover 30a. After the at least one release pin 211 separates the latching part 41 of the first connector 40a from the locking part 31 of the first dust cover 30a, the multiple hooks 212 are also hooked on the step. By pulling the first dust cover 30a away from the interface of the first connector 40a, the first dust cover 30a can be removed from the first connector 40a. The second disassembly part 22 is disposed on the second side of the main body 10 opposite to the first side. The second disassembly part 22 includes at least one pressing post 221, which is used to separate the latching part 31 of the second dust cover 30b from the snap-fit ​​part 41 of the second connector 40b, thereby allowing the second dust cover 30b to be removed from the second connector 40b. The connector dust cover disassembly tool of this application can not only disassemble the first dust cover 30a and the second dust cover 30b, but also, compared with the previous method of disassembling the dust cover of the connector using screwdrivers, pliers and other tools, the connector dust cover disassembly tool provided in this application reduces the disassembly difficulty and improves the disassembly efficiency.

[0049] It is evident that the connector dust cover removal tool provided in this application reduces the difficulty of disassembly, improves the efficiency of disassembly, and also avoids damage to the connector and dust cover during disassembly. It also has the advantages of simple operation, strong versatility, good protection, and high safety.
