Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of manufacturing technology, and in particular to a handheld handling tool. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the production process of fuel tanks, some production processes require manual assistance in carrying fuel tanks. That is, to carry the fuel tank from the previous production process to the next production process. Since the fuel tank is usually large in size and has a relatively smooth and rounded surface structure, it is often not convenient for operators to hold and carry it with one hand. However, there is usually a fuel tank opening on the fuel tank. In this case, the operator usually puts his fingers into the fuel tank opening and hooks the fuel tank with his fingers to carry it.

[0003] However, this method of handling has certain problems. Using fingers to carry objects for a long time (such as several hours) will cause soreness, swelling, or even damage to the fingers. This will not only affect the physical and mental health of the operator, but also affect production efficiency.

[0004] Continuing, in the process of adopting technical solutions to solve the above technical problems, the inventors found that there is further the following technical problem 2:

[0005] During the production of fuel tanks, it is usually necessary to measure some parameters of the fuel tanks (such as weight, etc.) to verify process parameters or mark factory parameters, etc. This requires setting up corresponding measurement procedures. However, more production procedures often lead to longer production time, thus affecting production efficiency.

[0006] The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the present disclosure concept and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] The content of this disclosure is used to introduce concepts in a brief form, and these concepts will be described in detail in the specific implementation section below. The content of this disclosure is not intended to identify the key features or essential features of the technical solution for which protection is sought, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the technical solution for which protection is sought. Some embodiments of this disclosure provide a handheld handling tool that can facilitate operation by operators and improve production efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, in the process of adopting technical solutions to solve technical problem 2, the following technical problem 3 is often accompanied: the installation design of the end cap should minimize the impact on handheld operation. For the above technical problem 3, the conventional solution is generally: the outer surface of end cap A is adapted to the handheld component to form a smooth outer surface as a whole; end cap B and handheld component adopt a plug-in structure; end cap C and handheld component adopt a threaded connection structure. However, the above conventional solutions A to C still have the following problems: the smooth outer surface usually makes the end cap difficult to remove; the plug-in structure is prone to loosening and falling off; the unreasonable thread design leads to loosening during use.

[0014] Considering the problems of the above conventional solutions A to C, facing the above technical problem 3. In combination with the actual use scenario of the tool disclosed in the present invention, the following solution can be adopted.

[0025] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0026] It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the relevant utility model are shown in the drawings. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0027] It should be noted that the concepts such as "first" and "second" mentioned in the present disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules or units.

[0028] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "plurality" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0029] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0030] Figure 1 Schematic diagrams of the structures of some embodiments of the handheld transport tool disclosed in the present invention are shown. Figure 1 As shown, the transport tool may include a handheld component 11, a transport component 12 and a connecting component 13. Here, the handheld component 11 may be located at the first end of the transport tool, and is used to contact the hand of the operator. That is, the operator operates the transport tool by holding the handheld component 11. The transport component 12 may be located at the second end of the transport tool. The first end and the second end are the two opposite ends of the transport tool. The connecting component 13 may be located between the handheld component 11 and the transport component 12. The two ends of the connecting component 13 may be connected to the handheld component 11 and the transport component 12, respectively.

[0031] It is understandable that, since the size of the fuel tank opening is usually small, the carrying member 12 can be in the shape of a rod for inserting into the fuel tank opening. In addition, since the fuel tank opening is usually round, in order to be able to quickly insert the carrying member therein, the carrying member 12 can be in the shape of a cylindrical rod, and the diameter is much smaller than the size of the fuel tank opening.

[0032] In addition, in order to facilitate the use of the operator, the extending directions of the hand-held component 11, the carrying component 12, and the connecting component 13 can be different. That is, the components of the carrying tool are connected at a certain angle, for example, the three components can form a shape similar to a lightning bolt. That is, the angle between the hand-held component 11 and the connecting component 13 is less than 90 degrees, and the angle between the carrying component 12 and the connecting component 13 is also less than 90 degrees. In this way, the operator can lift the oil tank upward for carrying by moving his hand slightly.

[0033] In some embodiments, the transport tool as a whole can be in a Z-shape. That is, the hand-held component 11 and the connecting component 13 are 90 degrees apart. And the transport component 12 and the connecting component 13 are also 90 degrees apart. Optionally, in order to prevent the oil tank from falling off during transport, Figure 1 As shown, the angle between the transport component 12 and the connecting component 13 may be less than 90 degrees.

[0034] In some application scenarios, facing the technical problem 2 mentioned in the background technology section, considering the handheld transport tool of the present disclosure's transport action on the oil tank, it is possible to consider completing the weight measurement process of the oil tank during the transport process. That is, adding a weight measurement function to the handheld transport tool. Figure 2 As shown, a patch pressure sensor 14 can also be installed on the transport component 12, which can be used to detect the weight of the fuel tank during transport. The patch pressure sensor 14 can be attached to the side of the transport component 12 facing the fuel tank opening during transport, that is, Figure 2 The side of the carrying part 12 facing upward. It can be understood that compared with pressure sensors of other structures, the patch pressure sensor has little effect on the structure of the installation location, can be directly attached thereto, and can change with the shape of the attachment location. This helps to ensure the service life of the handling tool.

[0035] Furthermore, the transport component 12 may be wrapped with a protective layer (not shown in the figure). Here, the protective layer may be made of materials such as rubber, silicone, etc. The protective layer may at least cover the patch pressure sensor 14. For example, the protective layer may wrap around the transport component 12; or it may be inserted from the end of the transport component 12 away from the connecting component 13, and wrap the end of the transport component 12 away from the connecting component 13. In this way, it can not only protect the patch pressure sensor, but also protect the fuel tank port, avoid damage or scratches to the fuel tank port during transportation, and reduce the production of defective products.

[0036] Optionally, in order to facilitate the operator to timely understand the weight of each tank being carried, such as Figure 2As shown, a display 15 can also be installed on the handheld component 11. The display 15 can be electrically connected to the patch pressure sensor 14 to display the weight of the fuel tank detected by it. In order to avoid affecting the hand operation, the display 15 can be set at one end of the handheld component 11 close to the connecting component 13. And in order to facilitate the operator to view, the display 15 can be located on the side of the handheld component 11 facing the operator during transportation, that is, Figure 2 In addition, the transport tool may be a hollow structure, and the display 15 and the patch pressure sensor 14 may be connected via a signal line disposed inside the transport tool.

[0037] It is understandable that, through the above structure, the operator can know the weight of each fuel tank in real time when using the handling tool to carry the fuel tank. In this way, there is no need to set up a separate fuel tank weight detection link in the previous production process. The fuel tank weight detection can be completed during the handling process. Thereby, the production process can be simplified, which helps to improve production efficiency. In addition, in order to facilitate data management, a data transmission component can also be provided in the handheld handling tool to send the detection data to the production management system or the operator's terminal. The data transmission component may include a control element and a signal element. The control element can send the data detected by the patch pressure sensor to the corresponding electronic device through the signal original. Here, the way in which the data transmission component transmits data can also be set according to actual needs. As an example, in order not to affect the handling, a wireless transmission method such as Bluetooth, wireless local area network, etc. can be used. In this way, the management and tracking of production data can be achieved.

[0038] Continuing, in the process of using the handheld handling tool disclosed in the present invention to measure the weight of the fuel tank, the following technical problems often occur: due to the different usage habits of each operator, the same area on the handling component may be used for a long time to carry the fuel tank. In this way, the number of times and duration of pressure on the patch pressure sensor located in this area is much greater than that of the patch pressure sensors in other positions. As a result, its detection sensitivity is reduced, which in turn affects the accuracy of the fuel tank weight detection. In the face of this technical problem, the following solution can be adopted.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a slot 121 is provided on the side of the transport component 12 facing the tank port during transport. And a plurality of adjacent square detection blocks 122 can be provided in the slot. These detection blocks 122 are embedded in the slot 121 by transition fit. The upper surface of the detection block 122 is adapted to the outer surface of the rod-shaped transport component 12. A patch pressure sensor is attached to the upper surface of each detection block 122, and wiring holes are provided at the corners of the upper surface. A raised signal pin connected to the wiring hole is provided on the lower surface of the detection block 122.

[0040] In addition, a plurality of signal holes K1 are provided in the card slot 121, which are adapted to the signal pins of the detection block 122. In this way, by inserting the signal pins of each detection block 122 into the corresponding signal holes K1, the data detected by the patch pressure sensor thereon can be transmitted to the display 15. Each signal hole K1 has its own signal identifier. The signal identifier can be used to determine which detection block the detection data comes from. In order to facilitate the disassembly of the detection block, a plurality of (at least two) through holes K2 that penetrate the transport component can also be provided at the position surrounding the signal hole K1 in the card slot 121. In this way, the tool is extended into the through hole K2 from the side of the transport component 12 away from the card slot 121, so that the detection block 122 can be pushed out of the card slot 121, thereby realizing the disassembly of the detection block.

[0041] When the number of detections of the patch pressure sensor on one of the detection blocks reaches a threshold, the detection block can be interchanged with the other detection blocks, so that the patch pressure sensor on the interchanged detection block can continue to detect the weight of the fuel tank. The detection blocks can also be placed in the area periodically. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the area on the transport component used to detect the weight of the fuel tank can be divided into multiple small areas, and these small areas can be disassembled and adjusted in position with each other. This can avoid the above-mentioned problem of reduced detection sensitivity and affected fuel tank weight detection accuracy due to long-term use of the same area position on the transport component to transport the fuel tank.

[0042] Furthermore, the handheld component 11 may be provided with a power slot for placing a power source at the other end away from the connecting component 13. Here, the power source can provide electrical energy to the patch pressure sensor 14 and the display 15. In addition, in order to simplify the structure, the power source here can be a replaceable power source, such as an ordinary button battery or a cylindrical battery. In addition, in order to facilitate the replacement of the power source, a removable end cap 16 may be provided at the end of the other end of the handheld component 11. Among them, the end cap 16 is provided with a spring on the surface facing the power slot. When the end cap 16 is installed on the handheld component 11, the spring thereon can abut against the power source, thereby ensuring the stability of the power supply.

[0043] It should be noted that the above-mentioned detachable manner is not limited, such as a snap-on connection. As an example, in order to ensure the firmness of the fixation while reducing the impact on hand-held operation, such as the raised structure will rest on the hand when grasping, the end cap 16 and the hand-held component 11 can be connected by threads. And the outer surface of the end cap 16 is adapted to the hand-held component 11, forming a smooth outer surface as a whole. In addition, the rotation direction of the thread can be set according to actual conditions. For example, when operating, the operator usually uses the right hand to operate, and according to the work station setting, it is usually carried from left to right. During the porting process, the hand generally applies a friction force to the right to the hand-held component. Therefore, in order to avoid the end cap 16 from falling off during use, the end cap 16 and the hand-held component 11 can be connected by a right thread.

[0044] In some application scenarios, since the handheld component 11 forms a smooth outer surface as a whole, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the end cover 16, the end cover 16 may be provided with an auxiliary structure on the surface facing away from the power slot for disassembly of the end cover. Here, the specific structure of the auxiliary structure is also not limited. As an example, the auxiliary structure may be a groove adapted to a disassembly tool. Among them, the shape of the groove may include at least one of the following: a straight line, a cross, a hexagon, an internal thread, etc. In this way, the end cover 16 can be removed by inserting a disassembly tool of a corresponding shape into the groove and twisting it to the left.

[0045] For another example, the auxiliary structure can also be a T-shaped auxiliary part. One end (i.e., the tip) of the auxiliary part can be connected to the groove of the internal thread through a left-hand thread. In this way, when the auxiliary part is tightened, a left-hand twisting force can be applied to the end cover 16, thereby removing the end cover. The other end (i.e., the horizontal end) of the auxiliary part can be provided with a hanging hole for hanging and fixing the handling tool.

[0046] It is understandable that in order to reduce energy consumption, the display 15 can be a simple digital display. Optionally, a physical switch control can be provided on the handling tool, or a touch switch control can be provided on the display 15 to control the electrical connection between the power supply and the patch pressure sensor 14 and the display 15.

[0047] Here, in order to ensure the strength of the handling tool, each component can be made of metal materials, such as iron, steel or alloy. As an example, in order to simplify the production process, the handling tool disclosed in the present invention can adopt an integrated molding structure, such as bending a section of rod-shaped steel into a Z shape. In addition, the contact area between the handheld component 11 and the operator's hand can be increased to facilitate gripping and force. For example, a handle 17 can be provided at one end of the handheld component 11 away from the connecting component 13. Here, in order to reduce the overall weight of the handling tool, the handle 17 can be made of materials such as plastic or rubber. In addition, anti-slip patterns can be formed on the handle.

[0048] In some application scenarios, the handling tool disclosed in the present invention may include multiple (at least two) handling components. The shapes and / or sizes of the multiple handling components are different. And the multiple handling components are detachably connected to the connecting components (such as threads). In other words, these handling components can be in different shapes and / or different sizes, such as a spiral rod shape, which can prevent the oil tank from falling off during the handling process. Another example is a rod shape with an elliptical cross-section. This can be applicable to oil tanks (tank ports) of different models and sizes. The handling tool can also be used to carry other items.

[0049] The above descriptions are only some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above-mentioned technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above-mentioned utility model concept. For example, the above-mentioned features are replaced with the technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure (but not limited to) to form a technical solution.
