Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile models, and in particular to a tool for separating seams of clay models. Background Art
[0002] With the development of automobile technology, automobile clay models have emerged. During the production process of automobile clay models, in order to improve the simulation of the model, parting lines need to be produced.
[0003] In the related art, the production of the seam line is usually performed by first positioning it through a processing program and then engraving it.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned engraving method does not meet the requirements of the simulation model. Figure 1 It is difficult to achieve this effect with the same stitches, width and depth in this process, and the workload is large. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a clay model splitting tool to address the problem of heavy workload for modelers in making splitting lines.
[0006] A clay model splitting tool, comprising:
[0007] The knife bar includes a straight rod portion and a bent portion, the bent portion is connected to the straight rod portion, an angle is formed between the straight rod portion and the bent portion, a cutting edge is formed on one end of the bent portion away from the straight rod portion, the cutting edge is used for oil mud splitting, and a scale is also provided on the bent portion;
[0008] A handle is used to connect with the straight rod.
[0009] In one embodiment, the angle between the bent portion and the straight rod portion is greater than 90°.
[0010] In one embodiment, a surface of the bent portion close to the straight rod portion is a straight surface.
[0011] In one embodiment, the scale is provided on the straight surface.
[0012] In one embodiment, the scale ranges from 0 to 20 mm.
[0013] In one embodiment, the straight rod portion and the bent portion are integrally formed.
[0014] In one embodiment, the cross section of the straight rod portion is circular.
[0015] In one embodiment, the knife rod is made of metal material.
[0016] In one embodiment, the handle is made of wood, one end of the handle is provided with an insertion hole, and the end of the straight rod portion away from the bent portion is inserted into the insertion hole.
[0017] In one embodiment, the side wall of the handle is a curved surface, and a flat surface is formed at one end of the handle away from the knife rod.
[0018] The above-mentioned clay model seam-forming tool includes a shank, which includes a straight portion and a bent portion. The bent portion is connected to the straight portion, forming an angle between the straight portion and the bent portion. The bent portion has a cutting edge formed at one end of the straight portion, which is used to separate the clay from the seam. The angle between the straight portion and the bent portion makes it easier to remove clay from the seam compared to a straight shank. This is because when a straight shank forms a seam, the clay is subjected to a force perpendicular to the bottom surface of the seam, while the shank in the present application forms a diagonal force, which makes it easier to remove clay from the seam. The bent portion is also provided with a scale, which allows for easier observation of the depth of the clay seam. The tool also includes a handle, which is connected to the straight portion. Through this arrangement, seams in clay models can be quickly and accurately created, thereby reducing the workload of the model maker. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The present application provides a clay model splitting tool, comprising:
[0032] The knife bar 10 includes a straight rod portion 11 and a bent portion 12. The bent portion 12 is connected to the straight rod portion 11. An angle is formed between the straight rod portion 11 and the bent portion 12. A cutting edge is formed on one end of the bent portion 12 away from the straight rod portion 11. The cutting edge is used for separating the oil and mud. A scale 13 is also provided on the bent portion 12.
[0033] The handle 20 is used to connect with the straight rod portion 11 .
[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a clay model seam separation tool according to an embodiment of the present application from a first perspective is shown. The clay model seam separation tool provided by an embodiment of the present application includes a tool bar 10. The tool bar 10 includes a straight rod portion 11 and a bent portion 12. The bent portion 12 is connected to the straight rod portion 11. An angle is formed between the straight rod portion 11 and the bent portion 12. A cutting edge is formed at one end of the bent portion 12 away from the straight rod portion 11. The cutting edge is used to separate the clay. The angle formed between the straight rod portion 11 and the bent portion 12 makes it easier to remove the clay from the seam than with a straight tool bar 10. This is because when a straight tool bar 10 makes a seam, the force applied to the clay is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the seam, while when the tool bar 10 in the present application makes a seam, the force applied to the clay is an oblique force, which makes it easier to remove the clay from the seam. The bent portion 12 is also provided with a scale 13, which allows for easier observation of the depth of the oily mud seam. A handle 20 is also included, which is connected to the straight portion 11. During use, the user grips the handle 20, selects the desired depth on the bent portion 12, and repeatedly scrapes with the cutting edge. After scraping, the bent portion 12 is rechecked to ensure the seam depth meets the requirements.
[0035] Through the above settings, the seams of the clay model can be made quickly and accurately, reducing the workload of the modeler.
[0036] Specifically, the angle between the bent portion 12 and the straight portion 11 is greater than 90 degrees. Since the angle between the bent portion 12 and the straight portion 11 is an obtuse angle, when the bent portion 12 is split, the oily mud in the split will be subjected to an oblique force, and the component of the oblique force will more easily remove the oily mud in the split.
[0037] Combine Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A second perspective schematic diagram of the clay model parting tool in one embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the side of the bending portion 12 close to the straight rod portion 11 is a straight surface. The side of the bending portion 12 close to the straight rod portion 11 is a straight surface, and the side of the bending portion 12 away from the straight rod portion 11 can be selected as a curved surface or a straight surface. The two surfaces of the bending portion 12 together constitute a cutting edge, which is used to make the parting and remove the clay in the parting. Setting one side of the bending portion 12 as a straight surface can remove the side clay in the clay model parting to the greatest extent, avoiding the user having to clean the clay in the parting again, thereby reducing the workload.
[0038] Furthermore, the scale 13 is provided on the straight surface. In one embodiment of the present application, the scale 13 is provided on the straight surface, which is convenient for the user to observe the depth, select the desired depth on the bent portion 12, and repeatedly scrape with the cutting edge. After scraping is completed, the bent portion 12 is re-confirmed to see whether the depth of the seam line meets the requirements.
[0039] In one embodiment, the scale 13 ranges from 0 to 20 mm. In one embodiment of the present application, the scale 13 ranges from 0 to 20 mm, which can meet the seam depth requirements of most clay model parts. Of course, the scale 13 range can also be changed to accommodate different seam depths based on actual needs.
[0040] The straight rod portion 11 and the bent portion 12 in the present application are integrally formed. The straight rod portion 11 and the bent portion 12 are integrally formed, and the straight rod portion 11 and the bent portion 12 are formed simultaneously when the knife bar 10 is formed, thereby simplifying the production process. Furthermore, the straight rod portion 11 and the bent portion 12 are an integral structure, which can increase the strength and rigidity of the knife bar 10 itself and prevent the knife bar 10 from being damaged or deformed.
[0041] In one embodiment, the knife bar 10 is made of metal material. The knife bar 10 can be made of stainless steel, carbon steel or copper, etc. The specific material selection can be selected according to actual needs.
[0042] In one embodiment, the handle 20 is made of a wooden material, and an insertion hole is provided at one end of the handle 20, and the end of the straight rod portion 11 away from the bent portion 12 is inserted into the insertion hole. The handle 20 in one embodiment of the present application is made of a wooden material, which is cut from a wooden material, and an insertion hole is provided at one end of the handle 20, and the insertion hole is used to insert the arbor 10. Specifically, the straight rod portion 11 of the arbor 10 can be interference fit with the insertion hole, and then glue can be poured into the gap of the insertion hole. Alternatively, threads can be provided on the straight rod portion 11 and the insertion hole to achieve threaded fit. The interference fit can connect the straight rod portion 11 of the arbor 10 to the insertion hole more stably. Providing threads and achieving threaded fit between the straight rod portion 11 and the insertion hole can make it easier to replace the arbor 10.
[0043] Furthermore, the cross section of the straight rod portion 11 is circular. The cross section of the straight rod portion 11 is set to be circular, and the insertion hole is also set to be a circular hole, so that the straight rod portion 11 is inserted into the insertion hole to achieve the insertion between the arbor 10 and the handle 20.
[0044] In one embodiment, the side wall of the handle 20 is a curved surface, and the end of the handle 20 away from the shank 10 is formed with a flat surface. Figure 3 As shown, the sidewall of the handle 20 is a curved surface, which is convenient for the user to grip and adapts to the curve of the user's palm, making it easier for the user to hold the handle 20. The end of the handle 20 away from the blade 10 is formed with a flat surface. The flat surface allows the clay model seaming tool to be more easily stood upright on a flat surface such as a table or the ground, making it easier to place the clay model seaming tool.
[0045] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0046] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
