Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a pair of pliers, in particular to a pair of wire cutters. Background Art

[0002] In wiring operations, thick cables and thin cables must be cut according to the actual conditions on site. Generally speaking, technicians will use cable pliers and wire rope pliers to cut thick cables and thin cables respectively. In other words, technicians will use different pliers to cut thick cables and thin cables.

[0003] However, the above method of cutting the thick cable and the thin wire rope by using different clamps not only increases the inconvenience of the technicians in carrying tools, but also reduces the efficiency of the wiring operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a wire cutter in which a first clamp body and a second clamp body respectively comprise an upper blade part and a lower blade part, so that two different cutting operations can be performed by using the same wire cutter.

[0005] The wire cutters disclosed in one embodiment of the utility model include a first pliers body, a second pliers body, a first pliers handle and a second pliers handle. The first pliers body has a first lower blade and a first upper blade separated from each other. The second pliers body is pivotally connected to the first pliers body and has a second lower blade and a second upper blade separated from each other. The first pliers handle is fixed to the first pliers body. The second pliers handle is pivotally connected to the first pliers body and is opened or closed relative to the first pliers handle. The second pliers handle is used to close relative to the first pliers handle, and drives the second pliers body to pivot relative to the first pliers body, thereby closing the first lower blade and the second lower blade or closing the first upper blade and the second upper blade.

[0006] According to the wire cutters disclosed in the above embodiment, the first pliers body has a first lower blade and a first upper blade that are separated from each other, and the second pliers body has a second lower blade and a second upper blade that are separated from each other. Therefore, when the second pliers handle is closed relative to the first pliers handle and drives the second pliers body to pivot relative to the first pliers body, different cutting operations can be performed by closing the first lower blade and the second lower blade, or by closing the first upper blade and the second upper blade. In other words, technicians can perform different cutting operations with the same wire cutters (i.e., the wire cutters according to the utility model). In this way, the convenience of technicians in carrying tools can be increased, and the efficiency of wiring operations can be improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] The detailed features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail in the following embodiments, and the contents are sufficient to enable any person with ordinary technical knowledge in the art to understand the technical contents of the embodiments of the present invention and implement them accordingly, and according to the contents disclosed in this specification, the claims and the drawings, any person with ordinary technical knowledge in the art can easily understand the relevant purposes and advantages of the present invention. The following embodiments further illustrate the viewpoints of the present invention in detail, but do not limit the scope of the present invention in any viewpoint.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The figure is a plan view of a wire cutter according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of the exploded view of the wire cutters in FIG.

[0051] In this embodiment, the wire cutters 10 include a mounting base 100, a first clamp body 150, a stop member 200, a second clamp body 250, a first clamp handle 300, a second clamp handle 350, a first linking member 400, a first elastic element 450, a mounting assembly 500, a second linking member 550, a second elastic element 600 and a limiting member 650.

[0052] The first clamp body 150 is fixed to the mounting base 100 and has a first lower blade portion 151 and a first upper blade portion 152 separated from each other. The stopper 200 is fixed to the first clamp body 150. The stopper 200 is, for example, in the shape of a letter "ㄇ" and includes two stopper plates 201 opposite to each other, and the two stopper plates 201 are, for example, connected by a connecting plate (not shown).

[0053] The second clamp body 250 is pivotally connected to the first clamp body 150 and has a second lower blade portion 251 and a second upper blade portion 252 separated from each other. In addition, the second clamp body 250 has a plurality of first protruding teeth 253, for example.

[0054] In this embodiment, the hardness of the first upper blade portion 152 and the second upper blade portion 252 is, for example, higher than the hardness of the first lower blade portion 151 and the second lower blade portion 251 .

[0055] In addition, in this embodiment, the first lower blade 151 and the first pliers body 150 are, for example, integrally formed. The second lower blade 251 and the second pliers body 250 are, for example, integrally formed. The first upper blade 152 is, for example, fixed to the first pliers body 150 by at least one first fastener 155. The second upper blade 252 is, for example, fixed to the second pliers body 250 by at least one second fastener 255.

[0056] The first clamp handle 300 is fixed to the first clamp body 150. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first clamp handle 300 and the first clamp body 150 are fixed to different sides of the mounting base 100, respectively.

[0057] The second clamp handle 350 is pivotally connected to the first clamp body 150 and is opened or closed relative to the first clamp handle 300 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the first upper blade 152 is, for example, farther from the first handle 300 and the second handle 350 than the first lower blade 151 , and the second upper blade 252 is, for example, farther from the first handle 300 and the second handle 350 than the second lower blade 251 .

[0059] The first linkage 400 is movably disposed on the mounting seat 100. For example, the opposite ends of the first elastic element 450 are respectively fixed to the first linkage 400 and the mounting seat 100, so that the first linkage 400 is movably disposed on the mounting seat 100. In addition, the first elastic element 450 is, for example, a torsion spring, and the opposite ends of the first elastic element 450 are, for example, respectively against the first linkage 400 and an inner wall surface 101 of the mounting seat 100. In addition, the first linkage 400 has, for example, a second protruding tooth 401. In addition, a first operating member 102 is, for example, fixed to the first linkage 400 and exposed outside the mounting seat 100.

[0060] The mounting assembly 500 includes a mounting plate 510 and a mounting post 520. The mounting post 520 is inserted into the mounting plate 510. The mounting plate 510 is fixed in the second clamp handle 350. The second linkage 550 is movably disposed on the second clamp handle 350. For example, the opposite ends of the second elastic element 600 are respectively fixed to the second linkage 550 and the mounting post 520, so that the second linkage 550 is movably disposed on the second clamp handle 350. The second elastic element 600 is, for example, a tension spring. The second linkage 550, for example, has a plurality of third protruding teeth 551. In addition, a second operating member 103, for example, is fixed to the second linkage 550 and exposed outside the mounting seat 100.

[0061] The limiting member 650 includes a pivoting portion 651 and a limiting protrusion 652. The limiting protrusion 652 protrudes from one side of the pivoting portion 651. The pivoting portion 651 is pivotally connected to the second clamp handle 350.

[0062] The following will describe the operation of the stopper 650. Figure 3 and Figure 4 . Figure 3 for Figure 1 A plan view of the wire cutters when the limiting member is in the limiting position. Figure 4 for Figure 1 A plan view of the wire cutters when the stopper is in the release position.

[0063] First, if Figure 3 As shown, when the limiting member 650 is located at a limiting position, the limiting protrusion 652 abuts against a protrusion 153 of the first clamp body 150 to prevent the second clamp handle 350 from opening or closing relative to the first clamp handle 300 .

[0064] like Figure 4As shown, when the second clamp handle 350 needs to be pivoted relative to the first clamp handle 300, the limiting member 650 moves from the limiting position to a releasing position along a pivoting direction P. When the limiting member 650 is located at the releasing position, the limiting protrusion 652 separates from the protrusion 153 of the first clamp body 150 and releases the limiting of the second clamp handle 350. In other words, when the limiting member 650 is located at the releasing position, the second clamp handle 350 can be opened or closed relative to the first clamp handle 300.

[0065] Next, the cutting action of the wire cutter 10 will be described. Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 for Figure 1 A plan view of the wire cutters cutting thick wires. Figure 6 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the wire cutters cutting thin steel cable.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, the second clamp handle 350 is used to close relative to the first clamp handle 300 along a pivot direction R1, and drive the second clamp body 250 to pivot relative to the first clamp body 150 along a pivot direction R2, thereby closing the first lower blade 151 and the second lower blade 251. Specifically, the first protruding tooth 253 will mesh with the second protruding tooth 401 and the third protruding tooth 551, so that the second clamp handle 350 drives the second clamp body 250 to pivot relative to the first clamp body 150 along the pivot direction R2 through the first linking member 400 and the second linking member 550. When the first lower blade 151 and the second lower blade 251 are closed, the first lower blade 151 and the second lower blade 251 will cut the thick cable 20 together. In addition, the first elastic element 450 and the second elastic element 600 assist the first linking member 400 and the second linking member 550 to reset, thereby ensuring the meshing of the second protruding tooth 401 and the third protruding tooth 551 with the first protruding tooth 253 .

[0067] Or, if Figure 6 As shown, the second clamp handle 350 is used to close relative to the first clamp handle 300 along the pivot direction R1, and drive the second clamp body 250 to pivot relative to the first clamp body 150 along the pivot direction R2, thereby closing the first upper blade 152 and the second upper blade 252. Specifically, the first protruding tooth 253 will mesh with the second protruding tooth 401 and the third protruding tooth 551, so that the second clamp handle 350 drives the second clamp body 250 to pivot relative to the first clamp body 150 along the pivot direction R2 through the first linking member 400 and the second linking member 550. When the first upper blade 152 and the second upper blade 252 are closed, the first upper blade 152 and the second upper blade 252 will cut the thin steel cable 21 together. In addition, the first elastic element 450 and the second elastic element 600 assist the first linking member 400 and the second linking member 550 to reset, thereby ensuring the meshing of the second protruding tooth 401 and the third protruding tooth 551 with the first protruding tooth 253 .

[0068] In addition, in this embodiment, when the first upper blade 152 and the second upper blade 252 are closed, the first pliers 150 and the second pliers 250 are located between the two stop plates 201 and are stopped by the two stop plates 201. Specifically, the two stop plates 201 prevent the first pliers 150 and the second pliers 250 from moving away from each other along the Z-axis direction. In this way, the first upper blade 152 and the second upper blade 252 will not move away from each other or tilt due to contact with the thin steel cable 21. In other words, through the stopping of the stopper 200, the first upper blade 152 and the second upper blade 252 can more easily cut the thin steel cable 21 and cut out a smoother cross-section.

[0069] Next, the storage of the wire cutter 10 will be described. Figure 7 , Figure 7 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the first and second linkage members of the wire cutter when they are separated from the second clamp body. When the wire cutter 10 needs to be stored, the first operating member 102 exposed outside the mounting seat 100 is moved along a moving direction M to drive one end of the first linkage member 400, thereby separating the second protruding tooth 401 from the first protruding tooth 253. In addition, the second operating member 103 is moved along the moving direction M and along a pivot direction R3 (opposite to Figure 6 In this way, one end of the second linking member 550 is driven, so that the third protruding tooth 551 is separated from the first protruding tooth 253. After the second protruding tooth 401 and the third protruding tooth 551 are separated from the first protruding tooth 253, the second clamp body 250 is pivoted relative to the first clamp body 150 along the pivoting direction R2, and the second clamp handle 350 is pivoted in the direction opposite to the pivoting direction R3 (i.e. Figure 6 The pivot direction R1 in the embodiment is closed, so that the wire cutter 10 returns to the Figure 1 When the wire cutters 10 are in the retracted state, they occupy a small space and are easy to store.

[0070] According to the wire cutters disclosed in the above embodiment, the first pliers body has a first lower blade and a first upper blade that are separated from each other, and the second pliers body has a second lower blade and a second upper blade that are separated from each other. Therefore, when the second pliers handle is closed relative to the first pliers handle and drives the second pliers body to pivot relative to the first pliers body, different cutting operations can be performed by closing the first lower blade and the second lower blade, or by closing the first upper blade and the second upper blade. In other words, technicians can perform different cutting operations with the same wire cutters (i.e., the wire cutters according to the utility model). In this way, the convenience of technicians in carrying tools can be increased, and the efficiency of wiring operations can be improved.
