[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model clearer and more apparent, the following will make a description of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, including various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to help understanding, which should be considered as only exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art should realize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, in order to be clear and concise, the description below omits the description of known functions and structures.

[0024] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be explained that the term "comprising" and its variants represent open inclusion, namely "including but not limited to". The terms "first", "second" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the description of the utility model, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly and specifically limited.

[0025] The utility model provides a kind of body sheet metal repairing tool, as Figure 1 As shown, it includes first clamp body 100 and second clamp body 200;The first clamp body 100 includes first clamp head 11 and the first handle 12 connected to the one end of first clamp head 11, the first clamp head 11 is provided with hinged column 13;Second clamp head 21 and second handle 22 are provided with connecting part 23 between the second clamp body 200, the connecting part 23 is provided with adjusting groove 231;The hinged column 13 is inserted into adjusting groove 231, can be moved along the extension direction of adjusting groove 231;The included angle α of the extension direction of first clamp head 11 and the extension direction of adjusting groove 231 is obtuse.

[0026] Reference Figure 2As shown, when the edge position of the sheet metal 300 produces a concave, convex or folding defect, the articulated column 13 is moved along the adjusting groove 231, the first jaw 11 and the second jaw 21 can be opened, the first jaw 11, the connecting part 23 and the second jaw 21 form three adjacent sides of a parallelogram in sequence, so that the jaw can be inserted into the defect position 32, and the first jaw 11 and the second jaw 21 are misaligned, so that one jaw can clamp the defect position 32 of the sheet metal 300, and one jaw clamps the main body 31 of the sheet metal 300 to provide support for the tool, without the need to use a supporting iron. The first handle 12 and the second handle 22 are folded to clamp the main body 31 of the sheet metal 300 and the defect position 32 of the sheet metal 300, which can clamp and repair the defect. When the sheet metal 300 is thicker, the first handle 12 and the second handle 22 can be rotated to strengthen the force applied to the defect position 32, which is labor-saving. Preferably, the included angle α between the extension direction of the first jaw 11 and the extension direction of the adjusting groove 231 is 100°-140°, more preferably, the included angle α is 120°-130°, for example, the included angle α can be 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135° or 140°, etc., so that when the first jaw 11 and the second jaw 21 are opened, a suitable misalignment amount can be generated.

[0027] When the two faces of the sheet metal 300 clamped by the first jaw 11 and the second jaw 21 have an angle, the second handle 22 can also be rotated to rotate the second jaw body 200 around the articulated column 13, so as to adjust the opening angle of the first jaw 11 and the second jaw 21, and adapt to the two faces of the sheet metal 300, thereby improving the convenience of operation. When the defect position 32 is large, the relative position of the articulated column 13 and the adjusting groove 231 can be adjusted as the defect position 32 is gradually repaired, so as to flexibly adjust the opening amount and the opening angle of the first jaw 11 and the second jaw 21, continue to repair after translation, improve the repair efficiency and effect, and the tool is suitable for a wide range of sheet metals 300, and can repair sheet metals 300 of various thicknesses.

[0028] In one embodiment, the jaw of the first jaw 11 is provided with a first flat clamping part 111, and the jaw of the second jaw 21 is provided with a second flat clamping part 211, and when the first jaw 11 and the second jaw 21 are folded, the first flat clamping part 111 is attached to the second flat clamping part 211. The first flat clamping part 111 and the second flat clamping part 211 are used to clamp the sheet metal 300, which is in flat contact with the sheet metal 300, does not deform the sheet metal 300, does not damage the surface of the sheet metal 300, and has a larger clamping area, which can improve the area of the sheet metal 300 that can be repaired at a time, reduce the number of repairs, and improve the repair efficiency.

[0029] In one embodiment, the adjusting groove 231 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 2311 connected in sequence, which are matched with the hinge column 13. Specifically, two groups of wave-shaped teeth are arranged opposite to each other along the extending direction of the adjusting groove 231, and the circular arcs of the wave-shaped teeth are arranged opposite to each other to form the limiting grooves 2311. In order to facilitate the sliding of the hinge column 13, preferably, the cross section of the hinge column 13 can be provided as an arc. When the hinge column 13 slides along the adjusting groove 231, the hinge column 13 steps and slides in each limiting groove 2311, the position of the hinge column 13 can be limited and self-locked, thereby controlling the opening size of the two jaw heads, and improving the convenience of operation.

[0030] In one embodiment, the outer side wall of the connecting part 23 close to the second jaw head 21 is provided with a platform, and the hammer head 24 is arranged at the platform. The hammer head 24 can be provided as an L-shaped or T-shaped structure, one side of which is provided as a connecting rod connected perpendicularly to the platform, and the other side is provided as a beating part. The sheet metal 300 repaired by the tool can be directly beaten by the hammer head 24 to further beat the repaired part, so that the repaired part is more flat, and a hammer is not needed to be additionally prepared, the tool has higher integration and more complete functions, and is more convenient for the repair of the sheet metal 300.

[0031] The hammer head 24 can be welded to the platform, or a threaded hole can be arranged at the platform, and the hammer head 24 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. Specifically, the connecting rod of the hammer head 24 can be provided as a threaded rod, and the threaded rod is screwed into the threaded hole, so that the hammer head 24 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the hammer head 24 is detachably connected to the second jaw body 200. In some positions with small operation space, the hammer head 24 can be removed to prevent interference.

[0032] In one embodiment, the hammer head 24 is wrapped with a rubber sleeve, which can protect the sheet metal 300 from new indentation defects when the hammer head 24 is used to beat the sheet metal 300.

[0033] The tool has simple structure and is convenient to use, can quickly repair the sheet metal 300, improve the repair ability and efficiency of the visible sheet metal 300, improve the appearance quality and reliability of the product, ensure better assembly size of the whole vehicle, and ensure the assembly performance. The tool improves the professional repair of the sheet metal 300, appropriately reduces the technical experience level of the operator, and can also achieve the same repair effect.

[0034] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
