Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pliers, in particular to a pair of labor-saving pliers. Background Art

[0002] Pliers are commonly used hardware tools, generally including two pliers handles. The shearing function is achieved by holding the two pliers handles and moving the two pliers handles closer or farther from each other. Since the hand needs to exert force when shearing, long-term operation can easily cause hand fatigue. In order to solve such problems, some labor-saving pliers have emerged. The principles of labor-saving pliers are mainly as follows: first, the lever principle is used to convert the force applied to the handle into the force of clamping or interrupting objects, thereby reducing the force of the hand; second, the lever arm principle is used to change the design or structure of the pliers, such as increasing the length of the pliers handle to make the lever arm longer, thereby reducing the need to exert force. The first is to increase the force to achieve the purpose of labor saving; the third is to use the blade principle to change the blade shape of the pliers, such as using a bevel blade or overlapping blade design, which can reduce the force applied to the handle and further improve the labor saving effect; the fourth is to adopt an eccentric design to shorten the distance between the center wheel and the blade of the pliers, so that the axis is closer to the front end, reducing the length of the resistance arm, thereby increasing the clamping force under the same force and achieving the labor saving effect; the fifth is to use the lever structure. Through the lever structure formed by the grip and the handle and the lever effect of the pliers head itself, the force can be amplified when the grip is closed to achieve labor saving.

[0003] However, no matter which of the above-mentioned labor-saving methods is used, for operating the pliers, the hand needs to continuously exert force when clamping in order to perform operations such as shearing and clamping, which is inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] The utility model provides a labor-saving pliers, aiming to solve the problem that the hands need to exert continuous force during operations such as clamping, shearing and clamping of traditional pliers, and realizes labor-saving positioning of the pliers body through the coordinated use of the ratchet assembly and the pawl member.

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, the labor-saving pliers of the utility model include a first pliers body 2 and a second pliers body 3 connected by a hinge shaft 1, a ratchet assembly 4 is rotatably provided on the first pliers body 2, and a first ratchet member 5 and a second ratchet member 6 are provided on the second pliers body 3.

[0026] Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ratchet assembly 4 includes a rotating shaft 41, a first ratchet 42 and a second ratchet 43. The rotating shaft 41 is rotatably set on the first pliers body 2. The first ratchet 42 and the second ratchet 43 are both fixed on the rotating shaft 41 and are spaced apart. The first ratchet 42 is located on the top surface of the first pliers body 2, and the second ratchet 43 is located on the bottom surface of the first pliers body 2.

[0027] The rotating shaft 41 is provided with a first quadrangular prism 411 and a second quadrangular prism 412 along the axial direction, the first ratchet 42 is provided with a first square hole 421, and the second ratchet 43 is provided with a second square hole 431. The first quadrangular prism 411 is inserted into the first square hole 421, and the second quadrangular prism 412 is inserted into the second square hole 431, so as to realize the fixed connection between the ratchet and the rotating shaft.

[0028] Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of first stop pawls 51 are arranged on the first pawl member 5, and these first stop pawls 51 are used to mesh with the first ratchet 42. A first torsion spring 52 is provided on the second caliper body 3, and the first pawl member 5 is close to the first ratchet 42 through the first torsion spring 52, so that the first stop pawl 51 and the first ratchet 42 are kept in meshing state. The first pawl member 5 is also provided with a first unlocking member 53, which is used to drive the first stop pawl 51 to disengage from the meshing with the first ratchet 42.

[0029] Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the end of the second pawl member 6 is provided with a second stop pawl 61 for engaging with the second ratchet 43. A second torsion spring 62 is provided on the first caliper body 2, and the second pawl member 6 is close to the second ratchet 43 through the second torsion spring 62, so that the second stop pawl 61 and the second ratchet 43 are kept in an engaged state. The second pawl member 6 is also provided with a second unlocking member 63 for driving the second stop pawl 61 to disengage from the second ratchet 43.

[0030] Figure 1 As shown, the second clamp body 3 is also provided with a limit lock block 7, and the first pawl member 5 is provided with a corresponding limit portion 54. When unlocking is required, the limit lock block 7 can be engaged in the limit portion 54, so that the first pawl member 5 moves as a whole, thereby driving the first stop pawl 51 to disengage from the first ratchet wheel 42.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] When it is necessary to clamp or shear an object, the user first moves the first pliers body 2 and the second pliers body 3 closer to each other by hand. As the two are closer, the ratchet assembly 4 also rotates, and the stop pawls on the first pawl member 5 and the second pawl member 6 respectively engage with the first ratchet 42 and the second ratchet 43 to achieve the positioning of the pliers. At this time, due to the stop effect of the ratchet pawls, the user can maintain the clamping state of the pliers without continuous force.

[0033] When the clamping needs to be released, the user can respectively drive the first stop pawl 51 and the second stop pawl 61 to disengage from the ratchet wheel by operating the first unlocking member 53 and the second unlocking member 63. At the same time, the first pawl member 5 can be moved as a whole by operating the limit lock block 7, so as to quickly release the clamping state.

[0034] Through the above-mentioned implementation mode, the labor-saving pliers of the utility model realize labor-saving positioning during operations such as clamping, shearing, and clamping, effectively reducing the burden on the user's hands and improving work efficiency.

[0035] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
