[0035] Example 1:
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-9This utility model provides a multi-functional tool 100, which includes a first tool set 110 and a main body 120. The first tool set 110 includes at least one first tool head 111, and the first tool head 111 includes a fixing part 1111. The main body 120 includes a receiving cavity 121 and a fixing position 122 for connecting the first tool head 111. The fixing position 122 cooperates with the fixing part 1111 to allow the first tool head 111 to be in a stored state or a used state. In the stored state, the first tool head 111 is completely placed inside the receiving cavity 121, and in the used state, the first tool head 111 at least partially extends out of the receiving cavity 121. Exemplarily, the receiving cavity 121 and the first tool head 111 are generally rectangular prisms, allowing the first tool head 111 to fit precisely into the receiving cavity 121. The receiving cavity 121 has an opening 1211, through which the first tool head 111 extends out of the receiving cavity 121. Specifically, the first tool head 111 of this application is a double-ended screwdriver bit, including slotted, Phillips, star, hexagonal, and patterned types.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the multi-functional tool 100 has a receiving cavity 121 and a fixing position 122 in the main body 120. When needed, the position of the first tool head 111 can be adjusted by the fixing position 122 so that the first tool head 111 can be extended. When not needed, the first tool head 111 is completely stored in the receiving cavity 121, and the extension distance of the first tool head 111 can be adjusted. In addition, two first tool heads 111 can be placed in the receiving cavity 121, and the first tool head 111 can be used from both ends. It is only necessary to switch the direction of the first tool head 111.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one possible implementation, the fixing position 122 includes a first hole group 1221 and a second hole group 1222. Two first tool heads 111 are provided, one connected to the first hole group 1221 and the other connected to the second hole group 1222. Exemplarily, the number of first tool heads 111 corresponds to the number of hole groups, with one hole group used for one first tool head 111 connection. That is, if three first tool heads 111 are provided, three hole groups should be provided.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In one possible implementation, the main body 120 includes a first end 123 and a second end 124 disposed opposite to each other, a first hole group 1221 disposed near the first end 123, and a second hole group 1222 located between the first end 123 and the second end 124. Exemplarily, the multi-tool 100 includes a second tool group 130, the tools in the second tool group 130 including knives, chucks, etc., wherein the tool heads in the second tool group 130 are hinged to the second end 124.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one possible implementation, the first hole group 1221 includes at least two holes arranged in a single row linearly. The fixing part 1111 includes at least one protrusion, which engages with different holes to adjust the extension length of the first tool head 111. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the first hole group 1221 includes four holes, and the fixing part 1111 includes two protrusions. In the direction from the second end 124 to the first end 123, the four holes of the first hole group 1221 are defined as hole 1, hole 2, hole 3, and hole 4, and the two protrusions are protrusion 1 and protrusion 2. In the retracted state, protrusion 1 is located at hole 1, and protrusion 2 is located at hole 2. In the usage state, the first tool head 111 has three extension lengths, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the first protrusion distance is when protrusion 1 is located at hole 2 and protrusion 2 is located at hole 3. Figure 8 As shown, the second protrusion distance occurs when protrusion 1 is located at hole 3 and protrusion 2 is located at hole 4. Figure 9 As shown, when the protrusion 1 is located at hole 4, it represents the third extension distance. Understandably, the first, second, and third extension distances increase sequentially. The user can adjust the extension length of the first tool head 111 according to actual usage needs. Furthermore, when the protrusion is placed in the hole, it restricts the position of the first tool head 111, preventing it from moving within the receiving cavity 121. By cooperating with different hole positions of the protrusion and the first hole group 1221, the extension length of the first tool head 111 can be adjusted, while simultaneously restricting the tool head's forward and backward movement within the main body 120, ensuring precise positioning of the tool head during use.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one possible implementation, the second hole group 1222 includes at least one hole position, and the hole positions of the first hole group 1221 and the second hole group 1222 are located on the same horizontal line. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the second hole group 1222 includes two hole positions.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In one possible implementation, the main body 120 includes a first housing 125 and a second housing 126. The second housing 126 is movably connected to the first housing 125. A receiving groove 1251 is formed on the first housing 125, and the second housing 126 covers the receiving groove 1251 to form a receiving cavity 121. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the first housing 125 and the second housing 126 are rotatably connected. Of course, in specific applications, the first housing 125 and the second housing 126 can also be slidably connected. It should be noted that when the second housing 126 covers the first housing 125, the receiving cavity 121 is open only on one side, the opening 1211. Of course, in specific applications, the receiving cavity 121 can also be open on both sides, with one side being the opening 1211 and the other side being either the first side 1252 or the second side 1253.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one possible implementation, the fixing position 122 is disposed on the first housing 125, and the fixing position 122 is in communication with the receiving groove 1251.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one possible implementation, the receiving groove 1251 includes a side limiting surface 1251A and a lower limiting surface 1251B. The second housing 126 has an upper limiting surface 1261. The depth of the receiving groove 1251 is adapted to the thickness of the first tool head 111, and the width of the receiving groove 1251 is adapted to the width of the first tool head 111. A fixing position 122 is disposed on the lower limiting surface 1251B. Exemplarily, the side limiting surface 1251A of the receiving groove 1251 restricts the left and right movement of the first tool head 111 within the main body 120, ensuring that the tool head does not shift left or right within the main body 120 and maintaining the stability of the tool during use. The lower limiting surface 1251B of the receiving groove 1251 restricts the up and down movement of the first tool head 111 within the main body 120, preventing the tool head from falling or rising within the main body 120 and ensuring the vertical stability of the tool head during use. The upper limit surface 1261 formed by the second housing 126 restricts the upward movement of the first tool head 111 in the receiving groove 1251. When the second housing 126 covers the receiving groove 1251, it together with the side limiting surface 1251A and the lower limiting surface 1251B forms a closed space, so that the first tool head 111 is fixed in this space, preventing the tool head from falling off the main body 120 when used or stored.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5In one possible implementation, the main body 120 includes a first state and a second state. The first state is configured such that the second housing 126 covers the receiving groove 1251 to form a receiving cavity 121. The second state is configured such that the second housing 126 is positioned away from the receiving groove 1251, leaving the receiving groove 1251 open. For example, as... Figure 3 The main body 120 shown is in the first state. Figure 5 The main body 120 shown is in the second state. The first housing 125 is provided with an elastic buckle 140, and the second housing 126 is provided with a limiting hole 1262. In the first state, the first housing 125 and the second housing 126 are limited by the elastic buckle 140 and the limiting hole 1262 to prevent the second housing 126 from rotating relative to the first housing 125 in the first state. The method of using the multi-functional tool 100 is as follows: When the tool is needed, rotate the second housing 126 so that the main body 120 is in the second state. The user presses the protrusion with his / her finger to take out the first tool head 111. Place the protrusion in different holes and adjust it. After that, rotate the second housing 126 to cover the receiving groove 1251 so that the main body 120 is in the first state for the user to use. After the tool is used, use the above steps to put the first tool head 111 back into the receiving cavity 121.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 6 In one possible implementation, the first tool head 111 includes a first tool portion 1112 and a second tool portion 1113 disposed at opposite ends, with a fixing portion 1111 disposed between the first tool portion 1112 and the second tool portion 1113. Exemplarily, the first tool portion 1112 and the second tool portion 1113 are different screwdriver bits; for example, the first tool portion 1112 may be a flathead screwdriver bit, and the second tool portion 1113 may be a Phillips head screwdriver bit. It is understood that the first tool head 111 can be used from both ends; switching the direction of the first tool head 111 creates different tools.
[0047] Example 2:
[0048] Please refer to Figure 10 Compared with Embodiment 1, the rotation direction of the second housing 126 relative to the first housing 125 is different in this embodiment. Specifically, the rotation direction of the second housing 126 relative to the first housing 125 in Embodiment 1 is different from that in this Embodiment 2. Its main purpose is to open the receiving cavity 121 and take out the first tool head 111. The structure of the multi-functional tool 100 and its components in this embodiment is the same as that in Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.
[0049] Example 3:
[0050] Please refer to Figure 11Compared with Embodiment 1, the number of the first hole group 1221, the second hole group 1222, and the protrusions differs in this embodiment. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing part 1111 includes one protrusion, the first hole group 1221 includes two holes, and the second hole group 1222 includes one hole. The position of the first tool head 111 is adjusted by the protrusion and the two holes in the first hole group 1221. When the first tool head 111 is located in the first hole, it is housed in the receiving cavity 121. When the first tool head 111 is located in the second hole, it extends out of the receiving cavity 121, allowing the user to use it. The structure of the multi-functional tool 100 and its components in this embodiment is the same as in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, and will not be described in detail here.
[0051] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and 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 those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
