Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile locks, and more particularly to an auxiliary unlocking tool. Background Art
[0002] Some sections of the automobile production line require the car hood to be opened frequently to facilitate relevant inspections.
[0003] To address this issue, some cars have grilles on their hoods, and auxiliary tools (such as lever-assisted unlocking) can be used to pull the hood lock through the grille to open the hood. However, the disadvantage is that the auxiliary tools used only work on hoods with grilles. On cars with grilles, when the hood is closed, the lever can be used to access the interior of the hood through the grille and use the lever to assist in unlocking. However, on cars without grilles, the lever cannot directly unlock the hood. Operators are required to enter and exit the driver's seat (which lacks an air grille and is inconvenient for existing auxiliary tools to access), use the hood unlocking device inside the driver's seat to pull the hood switch (typically located in the cockpit) to unlock and open the hood, which is inefficient.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a kind of unlocking auxiliary tool. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an unlocking auxiliary tool to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art and to improve the unlocking efficiency of the automobile front cover.

It should also be understood that terms defined in, for example, general dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or highly formal sense, unless explicitly defined herein.
[0026] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the unlocking aid provided in this embodiment is used for unlocking the front hood of a car, and includes: a lock hook structure 1, a guide block 2 and a soft rope 3, wherein the lock hook structure 1 is arranged in a structure inside the front cabin of the car, the guide block 2 is arranged on the front hood lock bracket of the car, and the soft rope 3 is passed through the lock hook structure 1 and the guide block 2, wherein one end of the soft rope 3 is connected to the lock hook structure 1, and the other end passes through the guide block 2 and extends to the outside of the front hood of the car.
[0028] Among them, the lock hook structure 1 can be detachably installed in the structure inside the front cabin of the car, or it can be fixed in the structure inside the front cabin of the car, and the guide block 2 can be detachably installed on the front hood lock bracket of the car, or it can be fixed on the front hood lock bracket of the car. The present utility model does not specifically limit the installation method of the lock hook structure 1 and the guide block 2.
[0029] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the lock hook structure 1 includes a support frame 11, and a handle end 12 and a locking end 13 are provided at both ends of the support frame 11. The support frame 11 is a U-shaped structure, and the locking end 13 can be inserted from one side (for example, the right side) of the car hood lock structure, and can be stuck in the car hood lock structure (for example, an L-shaped steel structure). Furthermore, a first through hole 14 is provided on the handle end 12 or the side of the support frame 11 close to the handle end 12, and the soft rope 3 can pass through the first through hole 14. The diameter of the first through hole 14 is 2.5mm-3.5mm, for example, 3mm. It should be noted that the present invention does not specifically limit the diameter of the first through hole 14. Figure 2 As shown, the lock hook structure 1 is a U-shaped structure as a whole. The handle end 12 on the right side of the lock hook structure 1 can be held and inserted from the right side of the car hood lock structure. When inserting, it is rotated along the shape of the cavity inside the lock, and then lifted up and clamped into the L-shaped steel structure inside the lock. It should be noted that the present invention does not specifically limit the specific structure and shape of the support frame 11, as long as the support frame 11 does not interfere with the cavity structure inside the lock.
[0030] Furthermore, if Figure 3As shown, the guide block 2 includes a guide block body 21 and two legs 22 disposed on the left side of the guide block body 21. The two legs 22 are symmetrically arranged horizontally at the front and rear ends of one side (e.g., the left side) of the guide block body 21. The intermediate portions of the two legs 22 are concave, allowing insertion into a lock bracket within the front compartment of the vehicle. For example, the two legs 22 can be inserted into plastic holes on the side of the lock bracket structure within the front compartment of the vehicle and snap onto the outside of the plastic holes. When the flexible cord 3 is subjected to force, the guide block body 21 can abut against the outer shell, maintaining horizontal stability for the guide block 2. Furthermore, a second through-hole 23 is defined in the sidewall of the guide block body 21, through which the flexible cord 3 can be passed. This second through-hole 23 allows for threading and guiding the cord. In one embodiment, when the guide block and lock hook structure are assembled, the vertical position of the second through-hole 23 is lower than that of the first through-hole 14. The diameter of the second through hole 23 is 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm, for example, 3 mm. It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any specific restrictions on the diameter of the second through hole 23, and the apertures of the first through hole 14 and the second through hole 23 may be equal or unequal, and this is not a specific limitation in the present invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that the present invention does not impose any specific restrictions on the specific structure of the guide block 2, as long as it does not interfere with components inside the vehicle hood.
[0031] Furthermore, the guide block 2 is made of PLA (polylactic acid) material, which can avoid scratching the car body paint.
[0032] Furthermore, the soft rope 3 passes through the first through hole 14 of the lock hook structure 1, then passes through the second through hole 23 of the guide block 2, and finally extends out of the vehicle cover. In some embodiments of the present invention, the end of the soft rope 3 can be wrapped around a knot ball, and the operator can grasp the knot ball and apply force to open the vehicle cover.
[0033] Furthermore, the angle between the stretching direction of the soft rope 3 and the horizontal direction is 45°-70°, for example, 60°. It should be noted that the present invention does not specifically limit the stretching direction of the soft rope 3. Furthermore, the diameter of the soft rope 3 is 1.5mm-2.5mm, for example, 2mm. It should be noted that the present invention does not specifically limit the diameter, length, and material of the soft rope 3. The diameter of the soft rope 3 only needs to be smaller than the diameter of the first through hole 14 and the second through hole 23 to ensure that the soft rope 3 can pass through the first through hole 14 and the second through hole 23.
[0034] During operation, first insert the guide block 2 into the plastic hole on the lock bracket in the front cabin of the car, then insert the lock hook structure 1 into the lock, and finally pull the soft rope 3 to pull the lock open. The starting end of the soft rope 3 is bolted into the first through hole 14 of the handle end 12 of the lock hook structure 1, and then passes through the second through hole 23 at the head of the guide block 2 to change the direction of the pulling force, so that the lock hook structure 1 is subjected to a downward component force. The tail end of the soft rope 3 is located outside the car door cover and is wrapped around the rope ball. The operator holds the rope ball and exerts force to open the cover. In addition, the unlocking auxiliary tool disclosed in the present utility model can also use the principle of leverage to make the above unlocking process more labor-saving. Specifically, the side of the support frame 11 close to the lock end 13 can be in contact with the inside of the lock structure so that the contact point of the two forms a fulcrum of the lever principle, so that the operator uses less force when pulling the rope to unlock.
[0035] Conventional hood opening requires the operator to walk back and forth to open and close the hood, taking a total of 48 seconds. Using this utility model, this operation time is reduced to 20 seconds, and once all components are in place, the unlocking time is only 2 seconds. This utility model is suitable for all vehicles requiring front-end adjustment and lacking grilles. In other scenarios, this utility model can also be used to unlock hard-to-reach switches. This utility model is not limited to specific application scenarios.
[0036] The unlocking auxiliary tool provided by the embodiment of the utility model, through the combination of a lock hook structure, a guide block and a soft rope, can unlock the car front cover by manipulating the soft rope only through the gap when the front cover is closed, which can improve the unlocking efficiency of the car front cover and is applicable to cars with or without air intake grilles.
