Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tools, in particular to a telescopic tool. Background Art
[0002] Existing hand-held tools are mainly divided into structures such as sheath type, rotary folding type and track push-pull type. Although these designs meet the daily cutting needs to a certain extent, they have significant common defects in the opening and closing operations. Sheath type tools usually require manual drawing out of the tool from the sheath and inserting it into the sheath, which not only increases the operation time, but also may affect the work efficiency when the opening and closing state needs to be quickly switched, and it is difficult to adapt to various usage scenarios and requirements. Rotary folding type tools provide a way to open and close by rotation, but require the operator to have certain operation skills and need the components to rotate in place to complete the opening and closing, with a slow speed, and are not suitable for situations that require quick response. Track push-pull type tools provide a way to open and close by manual pushing and pulling, but the process of manually pushing and pulling the tool body to extend or retract requires a long time, and the requirement of quickly opening and closing the tool cannot be achieved.
[0003] The opening and closing operation efficiency of the above three types of tools is low, which not only increases the time cost of using the tool, but also in the usage scenarios that require frequent and quick switching of the tool opening and closing state, the existing tools cannot meet the high-efficiency usage requirements.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.
[0039] First, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , wherein, Figure 3 shows the knife-out state where the tool body 200 of the telescopic tool 10 is fully extended, Figure 5 shows the knife-retracting state where the tool body 200 of the telescopic tool 200 is fully retracted.
[0040] The present utility model provides a telescopic tool 10, which is convenient to carry and can be used for outdoor activity cutting tasks or for playing and relieving stress in leisure time. The telescopic tool 10 includes: a tool holder 100, a tool body 200, a connecting rod assembly 300, a limiting assembly 400 and a control assembly 500. The tool holder 100 forms a receiving cavity 110 with an opening 111 at one end, and a slide rail 120 is provided in the receiving cavity 110; the tool body 200 is movably arranged on the slide rail 120, and the tool body 200 has a knife-out state where it extends out of the opening 111 and a knife-in state where it retracts into the receiving cavity 110; the connecting rod assembly 300 includes a connecting rod 310 and a first elastic member 320. The connecting rod 310 is movably arranged in the receiving cavity 110 and is rotatably connected to the tool body 200. The connecting rod 310 is elastically connected to the first elastic member 320; the limiting assembly 400 is arranged in the receiving cavity 110; the control assembly 500 includes a key 510 and a second elastic member 520. One end of the key 510 is rotatably connected to the tool holder 100, and the other end is drivingly connected to the limiting assembly 400. The two ends of the second elastic member 520 are elastically abutted against the key 510 and the tool holder 100.
[0041] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the slide rail 120 has a stroke center position 121. Under an external force, the tool body slides along the slide rail 120. Before the tool body 200 crosses the stroke center position 121, the first elastic member 320 is compressed to accumulate elastic force. After the tool body 200 crosses the stroke center position 121, the first elastic member 320 releases the elastic force to push the tool body 200 to slide to the knife-out state or the received state.
[0042] The knife-out process of the tool body 200: The initial state is the Figure 3 shown knife-in state. Push the tool body 200 to slide along the slide rail 120 and move towards the opening 111. At this time, the first elastic member 320 is compressed to accumulate elastic force, as shown in Figure 4 . Continue to push the tool body 200 to move along the slide rail 120 and cross the stroke center position 121. At this time, the first elastic member 320 releases the elastic force to push the tool body 200 to continue sliding to the Figure 5 shown knife-out state. The state change process of the telescopic tool 10 is from Figures 3 to 4 to Figure 5 .
[0043] The knife-in process of the tool body 200: The initial state is the Figure 5 shown knife-in state. Push the tool body 200 to slide along the slide rail and move in a direction away from the opening 111. At this time, the first elastic member 320 is compressed to accumulate elastic force, as shown in Figure 4 . Continue to push the tool body 200 to move along the slide rail 120 and reversely cross the stroke center position 121. At this time, the first elastic member 320 releases the elastic force to push the tool body 200 to continue sliding to the Figure 3 shown knife-in state. The state change process of the telescopic tool 10 isFigures 5 to 4 to Figure 3 。
[0044] It can be understood that in this embodiment, when the telescopic tool 10 is in the tool retracted state and the tool extended state, the first elastic member 320 is in an elastically abutted state, that is, the link assembly 300 has a limiting effect on the tool body 200 in the tool retracted state and the tool extended state to prevent the tool body 200 from moving. At this time, the limiting assembly 400 and the control assembly 500 may not be provided, and the first elastic member 320 is used to show the limitation of the tool body 200. Of course, the manufacturer can also freely adjust the state of the first elastic member 320 in the tool extended state and the tool retracted state according to needs.
[0045] It should be noted that the over-travel center position 121 in this application refers to the connection between the link assembly 300 and the tool body 200 crossing the over-travel center position 121. The over-travel center position 121 is not limited to the center position of the slide rail 120, and the position of the over-travel center position 121 is determined by the relative positions of the link assembly 300 and the tool body 200.
[0046] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the slide rail 120 has a lubricating glue layer, and the lubricating glue layer is a Teflon glue. The Teflon glue has the advantages of chemical corrosion resistance, fire and flame retardance, and long service life. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the Teflon glue can also be replaced with other glues or glue layers.
[0047] In this embodiment, the design of the tool holder 100 not only provides a space for accommodating the tool body 200 and installing various components, but also facilitates the user's holding and operation, ensuring the stability and safety of the operation. The tool holder 100 can be made of materials such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel, making it corrosion-resistant and lightweight. The tool holder 100 is composed of two shells with exactly the same shape and size, and the two shells can be connected in a detachable manner such as by screws, pins or snaps, so as to facilitate the disassembly, replacement and repair of various components of the telescopic tool 10. A portable hole 140 is provided at one end of the tool holder 100 far away from the opening 111. The portable hole 140 not only provides an additional holding point to make the holding more stable, but also provides the convenience of hanging or fixing the tool, facilitating the user to easily hang the tool on a hook or tie it to a belt.
[0048] The tool body 200 can be slidably connected to the slide rail 120 through a bearing 600, or sliders and chutes are respectively provided on the tool body 200 and the slide rail 120, and the sliders are matched with the chutes to realize the sliding connection between the tool body 200 and the slide rail 120. The slide rail 120 not only provides sliding guidance for the tool body 200, but also limits the sliding of the tool body 200 to ensure that the tool body 200 moves along a preset movement trajectory during the telescopic process, so as to improve the stability of tool extension.
[0049] The knife body 200 can be made of stainless steel, alloy steel or ceramic material, making it have good hardness and wear resistance. A pushing member is provided on the knife body 200. The user pushes the pushing member to drive the knife body 200 to move, making it more labor-saving and convenient to move the knife body 200. The size of the accommodating cavity 110 is larger than that of the knife body 200. When the knife body 200 is in the retracted state, the knife body 200 is completely inside the accommodating cavity 110, improving the safety of operation.
[0050] The design that the knife body 200 is rotatably connected to the knife holder 100 through the connecting rod 310 makes the knife body 200 move more stably relative to the knife holder 100 along the slide rail 120.
[0051] At the connection between the limiting component 400 and the knife body 200, clamping structures such as clamping grooves, clamping buckles or clamping blocks can be set, and the clamping connection between the knife body 200 and the limiting component 400 is realized through these clamping structures. The limiting component 400 is arranged on the moving path of the knife body 200 and is arranged at a position close to the opening 111 of the accommodating cavity 110, so that when the knife body 200 is clamped with the limiting component 400, the knife body 200 is at the maximum extended length, providing the maximum cutting length and improving the efficiency of the cutting work.
[0052] The key 510 is exposed outside the knife holder 100, making it easy for the user to touch and operate, so as to facilitate the user to quickly start the telescopic movement of the tool. The second elastic member 520 is a spring. The key 510 is provided with a spring groove (not marked). One end of the spring is embedded in the spring groove, and the other end abuts against the limiting block 410. The spring groove has the effect of limiting the spring, preventing the spring from having a lateral displacement during the compression process and improving the stability when the spring deforms. In addition to the pressing structure in which the key 510 in this application cooperates with the elastic member to realize the separation of the limiting component 400 and the knife body 200, structures such as sliding type, rolling type, rotating type, etc. can also be used to unlock the limiting component 400 and the knife body 200.
[0053] When the knife is extended, the knife body 200 is pushed to move along the slide rail 120 until the knife body 200 extends out of the opening 111 of the accommodating cavity 110. At this time, the knife body 200 is clamped with the limiting component 400, so that the knife body 200 is in the extended state. The first elastic member 320 accumulates elastic force first and then releases elastic force in this process. When retracting the knife, press the key 510 of the control component 500 to compress the second elastic member 520 to drive the limiting component 400 to separate from the knife body 200. As the limiting component 400 separates, the user can pull the knife body 200 in the reverse direction and drive the connecting rod 310 to drive the knife body 200 to retract into the accommodating cavity 110. The telescopic tool 10 proposed in this application simplifies the opening and closing operation of the tool, realizes the quick extension and retraction of the knife body 200 through a simple push and pull, and improves the operation efficiency of the tool.
[0054] Reference Figures 3 to 5, the shapes of the tool body 200 and the slide rail 120 are both arc-shaped; a guide groove 130 is provided on one side of the tool holder 100, the guide groove 130 communicates with the opening 111, a convex block 210 is provided on one side of the tool body 200, the convex block 210 passes through the guide groove 130 and is exposed outside the tool holder 100. Push the convex block 210 to make the tool body 200 move along the slide rail 120 and extend out of the opening 111.
[0055] In this embodiment, the tool body 200 and the slide rail 120 are designed with the same radian, ensuring that the tool body 200 maintains consistent contact and smooth movement with the slide rail 120 when moving along the slide rail 120, thereby improving the telescopic performance and service life of the tool.
[0056] The extending direction of the guide groove 130 is the same as the moving direction of the tool body 200, so as to facilitate pushing the convex block 210 extending out of the guide groove 130 to drive the tool body 200 to move along the slide rail 120. The size of the guide groove 130 should be slightly larger than the size of the convex block 210, leaving enough space to ensure that the convex block 210 can slide smoothly, while avoiding excessive gaps that cause the convex block 210 to shake. The convex block 210 is located on the side of the tool body 200 away from the opening 111 in the knife retracted state, so that it is more convenient and labor-saving for the user to push the tool body 200.
[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , the shape of the telescopic tool 10 is in the shape of an eagle's claw. In this embodiment, the eagle's claw shape design provides a shape that is more in line with the natural grip of the human hand, increasing the comfort and stability during gripping and also being more labor-saving. Compared with the straight and cylindrical handle designs, the eagle's claw shape design increases the contact area between the tool and the hand, thus providing better stability during operation and reducing the possibility of the tool sliding or shifting.
[0058] Reference Figures 2 to 5 , there are multiple connecting rods 310, at least two connecting rods 310 are connected to the first elastic member 320, and the multiple connecting rods 310 are sequentially rotatably connected through a connecting rod shaft 330 to form a multi-link structure. The two ends of the multi-link structure are respectively rotatably connected to the tool body 200 and the tool holder 100. In the knife retracted state, the first elastic member 320 drives the multi-link structure to contract to drive the tool body 200 to retract into the accommodation cavity 110.
[0059] In this embodiment, the first elastic member 320 can be a torsion spring or a spring. There are four connecting rods 310, and the first elastic member 320 can be elastically connected to each connecting rod 310, so that the elastic force of the first elastic member 320 is more evenly distributed on each connecting rod 310 and acts on the tool body 200, thereby avoiding overload or damage that may be caused by the force being concentrated on a single connecting rod 310, and thus enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire connecting rod assembly 300. It is also possible to elastically connect some of the connecting rods 310 to the first elastic member 320. In other embodiments, the number of connecting rods 310 can also be three or five.
[0060] The multi-link structure provides an efficient and stable power transmission method for the retractable tool 10. When the user performs the tool retraction operation, the synchronous movement of the multi-link structure enables the tool body 200 to retract smoothly and evenly into the accommodation cavity 110. This design significantly reduces the uneven load or stress concentration that may be generated by a single connecting rod 310, thereby reducing the tool wear and failure rate.
[0061] Refer to Figures 2 to 5 , the first elastic member 320 is a torsion spring, and the torsion spring includes a plurality of spiral portions 321. Each spiral portion 321 is sleeved on a connecting rod shaft 330, so that the torsion spring is elastically connected to the plurality of connecting rods 310.
[0062] In this embodiment, the torsion spring can provide a high-elasticity output in a small space, which is very suitable for applications with limited space. When applied to the structure of the multi-link, it not only saves space but also provides the necessary power for the link 310. The torsion spring can be designed into different shapes, sizes, and wire diameters to adapt to various application requirements. For example, in this application, the torsion spring is designed to have multiple spiral portions 321, and each spiral portion 321 is formed by spirally winding an elastic metal. The spiral portion 321 is sleeved on the link shaft 330, and the link shaft 330 plays a limiting role on the torsion spring to improve the stability of the torsion spring during the deformation process. On one side of the link 310, a stop tooth 311 protrudes. The stop tooth 311 is in the shape of a sleeve and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the link shaft 330. At this time, the spiral portion 321 of the torsion spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the stop tooth 311. When two rotatably connected links 310 rotate to a certain angle, the stop teeth 311 on the two links 310 abut against each other and restrict each other's rotation, so as to play a limiting role on the rotation of the link 310, preventing problems such as the tool body 200 being stuck or the tool body 200 being disengaged from the restriction of the tool holder 100 due to the excessive rotation angle of the link 310, thereby improving the reliability of the tool during use. The two spiral portions 321 are connected by a straight-line elastic metal. By providing multiple spiral portions 321, when each link 310 rotates, it will be subjected to the elastic force of the first elastic member 320, so that no matter whether the tool body 200 is in the retracted state or the deployed state, the multiple links 310 are all subjected to the elastic force of the first elastic member 320, so as to improve the stability of the multi-link structure during rotation.
[0063] Reference Figures 2 to 5 , the limiting component 400 includes a limiting block 410 and a guide post 420. The limiting block 410 is provided with a limiting hole 411. The guide post 420 passes through the limiting hole 411, and both ends of the guide post 420 are connected to the tool holder 100; in the deployed state, the limiting block 410 is clamped with the tool body 200; by pressing the button 510, the button 510 abuts against the limiting block 410 and pushes the limiting block 410 to move along the axial direction of the guide post 420, so that the limiting block 410 is separated from the tool body 200, and the tool body 200 retracts into the accommodation cavity 110.
[0064] In this embodiment, the limiting block 410 and the guiding column 420 can be made of high-strength metal or engineering plastics to provide the required strength and durability. The shape of the limiting block 410 can be designed to match the contact surface of the tool body 200 to ensure that when the tool body 200 extends, the limiting block 410 and the tool body 200 have the largest contact area, so as to improve the stability of the clamping connection between the limiting block 410 and the tool body 200. The limiting block 410 can adopt an internal rib design to increase its structural stiffness and durability, and prevent deformation or damage during repeated use. The connection between the guiding column 420 and the tool holder 100 can adopt a threaded connection or a snap connection to ensure the stability and reliability during the use of the tool. The threaded connection allows for quick disassembly and maintenance, while the snap connection provides the convenience of quick connection without tools.
[0065] By providing a limiting hole 411 on the limiting block 410, the guiding column 420 can be accurately positioned on the limiting block 410, ensuring that the tool body 200 moves along a predetermined trajectory when extending and retracting. The edge of the limiting hole 411 can be designed with a chamfer or a fillet to reduce the wear of the guiding column 420. At the same time, the cooperation of the limiting hole 411 and the guiding column 420 provides a stable guiding mechanism, reducing the wobbling or deviation of the tool during use and improving the accuracy of use.
[0066] Reference Figures 6 to 7 , the surfaces of the limiting block 410 and the key 510 that are in contact with each other are both inclined surfaces 700. In this embodiment, when retracting the tool, the key 510 is pressed. The design of the inclined surface 700 makes the moving direction of the key 510 and the separating direction of the limiting block 410 form an angle, so that a part of the force of the key 510 is converted into the force to push the limiting block 410. Therefore, by setting the surfaces of the limiting block 410 and the key 510 that are in contact with each other as inclined surfaces 700, the user only needs a very small force to easily start the tool retraction, making the tool retraction more labor-saving and efficient. At the same time, the inclined surface 700 also helps to smooth the movement of the key 510 and reduce the friction between the limiting block 410 and the inclined surface 700, making the tool retraction process more smooth.
[0067] Reference Figure 3 , an avoidance groove 112 is provided on the wall of the accommodation cavity 110, and the limiting block 410 is in clearance fit with the wall of the avoidance groove 112; the key 510 is pressed to push the limiting block 410 to move axially along the guiding column 420 into the avoidance groove 112.
[0068] In this embodiment, there is a certain gap between the avoidance groove 112 and the limiting block 410, enabling the limiting block 410 to slide smoothly within the avoidance groove 112. Meanwhile, the friction and wear between the limiting block 410 and the avoidance groove 112 are avoided, thereby prolonging the service life of the tool. When the key 510 is pressed to push the limiting block 410 to move axially along the guiding column 420, the avoidance groove 112 plays a role in guiding the movement of the limiting block 410, ensuring that the limiting block 410 can move smoothly to the desired position and also preventing the limiting block 410 from colliding with or interfering with other components during movement. In addition, the introduction of the avoidance groove 112 simplifies the maintenance and assembly process of the tool. Since the avoidance groove 112 provides a moving avoidance space for the limiting block 410, it is easier to disassemble and reinstall when performing maintenance or replacing the limiting block 410, reducing the maintenance time and cost.
[0069] Reference Figures 2 to 5 , the telescopic tool 10 further includes a bearing 600. The bearing 600 is installed at one end of the tool body 200 away from the opening 111 and is movably disposed within the slide rail 120, so that the tool body 200 is movably connected to the slide rail 120.
[0070] In this embodiment, the bearing 600 is a ball bearing 600. The ball bearing 600 is composed of an inner ring, an outer ring, and spherical balls disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring. The low-friction characteristic of the ball bearing 600 enables the tool body 200 to be telescoped quickly and easily, reducing the friction and noise during the telescoping of the tool body 200, thereby improving the response speed of the tool and the smoothness of operation. In other embodiments, the bearing 600 can also be replaced with components such as balls and rollers, and the effect of quickly and easily telescoping the tool body 200 can also be achieved.
[0071] Reference Figures 2 to 5 , four bearings 600 are provided. The four bearings 600 are all movably disposed within the slide rail 120, and one bearing 600 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 310.
[0072] In this embodiment, by providing four bearings 600 and symmetrically arranging the four bearings 600 on both sides of the tool body 200 respectively, not only the stability and support of the tool body 200 within the slide rail 120 are enhanced, but also a more uniform load distribution is achieved. This structural design helps to reduce the inclination or offset of the tool body 200 that may be caused by uneven load, ensures the stable movement of the tool body 200 during telescoping, and improves the cutting accuracy and the overall performance of the tool.
[0073] One of the bearings 600 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 310, providing higher flexibility for the connecting rod assembly 300. This connection method allows the connecting rod 310 to rotate freely during the telescopic process, reducing the friction and wear generated by the contact between the connecting rod 310 and the tool body 200 or the slide rail 120. This not only extends the service life of the tool, but also makes the operation smoother and reduces the required maintenance work. Combining the above-described embodiments of the connecting rod assembly 300, when the bearing 600 is provided on the tool body 200, one helical portion 321 of the torsion spring can be sleeved on the bearing 600 to achieve the rotational connection between the tool body 200 and the connecting rod 310.
