Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a picking tool for picking a cap part, and more particularly, the present disclosure relates to a picking tool capable of easily and batch picking a cap part in a narrow and deep operation space. BACKGROUND

[0002] In some industrial production, it is sometimes necessary to pick a part (for example, a cap part, such as shown in FIG. 1). In the past, an operator picks the part by hand or using a general-purpose clamping tool (for example, a needle-nose pliers). Figure 1

[0003] No matter whether it is picked by hand or using a general-purpose clamping tool, a large operation space is required. Moreover, the picked part must be put down before picking the next part, and it is impossible to efficiently pick multiple parts in batch. However, in some actual industrial production, the operation space for picking some parts is narrow, and it is impossible to accommodate the hand or the general-purpose clamping tool of the operator. In some cases, the size of the part to be picked is small, and it is not easy to operate by hand or using a general-purpose clamping tool. In some cases, the operation space for picking the part is not only narrow, but also deep. In some cases, a large number of parts need to be picked. For example, in the process of automobile production, some cap parts are installed before assembling the high-voltage wire harness and the cooler part, and these cap parts are mainly used for protection. Before assembling the high-voltage wire harness and the cooler part, these cap parts need to be picked. Such cap parts are small in size, and the operation space for picking the cap parts is narrow. In some cases, the cap parts are deep in the overall part. In some cases, the number of cap parts to be picked is large.

[0004] In these cases, it is difficult to pick the cap parts by hand or using a general-purpose clamping tool, and it is impossible to efficiently pick the cap parts in batch.

[0043] In the description, spatial terms such as "inward", "inwardly", etc. refer to a direction toward the central axis of the picking tool.

[0044] The utility model provides a kind of picking tool for picking cap part 9.According to Figure 1 As shown, cap part 9 includes a brim portion 92 and a crown portion 91.The brim portion 92 is positioned above the crown portion 91 and projects a certain distance in a radial direction from an outer peripheral surface of the crown portion 91, thereby forming a flange.A fillet 93 is formed at the transition between the brim portion 92 and the crown portion 91.

[0045] The picking tool provided by the utility model can also be used to pick other parts, as long as the part has a flange that can be hooked, such as a bolt, etc.

[0046] In the case of narrow and deep operation space, the picking tool of the utility model can easily and in bulk pick cap parts.For example, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 8 The operation space for picking cap part 9 can be narrow and deep, and therefore it is not easy to operate by hand or with a general-purpose clamping tool.However, using the picking tool of the utility model can easily and in bulk pick cap part 9.The specific structure of the picking tool of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The picking tool for picking the cap parts can include a handle 1, a fastening portion 2, and a claw portion 3. The claw portion 3 can be provided at a lower end of the handle 1, and the claw portion 3 is fastened to the handle 1 by the fastening portion 2. In some embodiments, the picking tool can also include only the claw portion 3 and the handle 1 without the fastening portion 2. The claw portion 3 can be integrally formed with the handle 1, for example, using a 3D printing technique.

[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The handle 1 can be elongated and cylindrical. In some embodiments, the handle 1 can be configured to be hollow, and the hollowed interior space can accommodate a plurality of cap parts 9. The cap parts 9 can be accommodated in the interior space of the handle 1 in a stacked manner.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 An opening 12 can be provided at an upper portion of the handle 1, and the opening can be sized and shaped to allow the cap parts 9 to pass therethrough, thereby allowing the operator to take out the picked cap parts 9 from the interior space of the handle 1 in bulk through the opening 12.

[0050] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the handle 1 can be extended into the operating space to grasp the cap parts 9 therein. In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The handle 1 includes a stepped-in portion 11. A length of the handle 1 below the stepped-in portion 11 can be configured to accommodate a depth of the cap parts 9 in the operating space. The handle 1 can be configured to have a diameter smaller than a width of the operating space below the stepped-in portion 11, so as to be extendable into the operating space. In some embodiments, the handle 1 can have a diameter larger than the width of the operating space above the stepped-in portion 11, so as to avoid inserting the picking tool too deep into the operating space. In some embodiments, the handle 1 can be configured to be telescopic, for example, the handle 1 can include a first section and a second section that are telescopically movable relative to each other, so that a length of a portion of the handle 1 that is extendable into the operating space can be adjusted for operating spaces of different depths, which increases the versatility of the picking tool.

[0051] In some embodiments, the handle 1 can be made of nylon. In other embodiments, the handle 1 can be made of a transparent material to facilitate observing whether the interior space of the handle 1 is full. It is noted that any suitable material can be used to make the handle 1, and the above examples are not limiting.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 andFigure 4 As shown, the fastening part 2 may include a circumferentially closed annular sheet. The annular sheet is configured such that the upper end of the claw 3 can be inserted between the fastening part 2 and the handle 1 and can clamp the upper end of the claw 3 to fasten the claw 3 and the handle 1 together.

[0053] In some embodiments, the fastening part 2 may include an annular sheet (not shown) with a circumferential opening. The upper end of the claw part 3 may be inserted between the fastening part 2 and the handle 1. The operator can tighten the fastening part 2 at the opening to increase the clamping force exerted by the fastening part 2 on the claw part 3 and the handle 1, thereby securely fixing the claw part 3.

[0054] In some embodiments, the inner surface of the fastening part 2 may be textured to increase the clamping force of the fastening claw part 3 and the handle 1.

[0055] In some embodiments, the fastening part 2 may include a screw. A through hole may be provided above the claw part 3. A threaded hole may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the handle 1. The screw passes through the through hole of the claw part 3 and is then screwed into the threaded hole of the handle 1, thereby fastening the claw part 3 to the handle 1.

[0056] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the claw portion 3 may include an extension portion 31 and a hook portion 32. The extension portion 31 extends downward from the upper end of the claw portion 3 to the lower end of the claw portion 3. The hook portion 32 extends inward and upward at an angle from the lower end of the claw portion 3. A bend portion 33 transitions between the extension portion 31 and the hook portion 32. The hook portion 32 may include a holding portion 321 and a sliding guide surface 322. The uppermost edge of the hook portion 32 forms the holding portion 321, and the surface of the hook portion 32 facing away from the extension portion 31 forms the sliding guide surface 322. The sliding guide surface 322 helps guide the claw portion 3 to slide below the brim portion 92 of the cap element 9. In some embodiments, the hook portion 32 is configured to be spring-back. When the hook portion 31 moves downward through the brim 92 of the cap element 9, the hook portion 32 can deform toward the extension portion 31, allowing the hook portion 32 to move through the brim 92 of the cap element 9. When the hook portion 31 moves below the brim 92 of the cap element 9, the hook portion 32 can spring back, allowing the holding portion 321 of the hook portion to hook onto the brim 92 of the cap element 9. In some embodiments, the extension portion 31 can be configured to be spring-back. When the hook portion 31 moves downward through the brim 92 of the cap element 9, the extension portion 31 can deform outward, allowing the hook portion 32 to move through the brim 92 of the cap element 9. When the hook portion 31 moves below the brim 92 of the cap element 9, the extension portion 31 can spring back, allowing the holding portion 321 of the hook portion to hook onto the brim 92 of the cap element 9.

[0057] In other implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the claw portion 3 may include an extension portion 31 and a hook portion 32. The extension portion 31 extends downward from the upper end of the claw portion 3 to the lower end of the claw portion 3. The claw portion 3 protrudes inward below the extension portion 31 to form the hook portion 32. The hook portion 32 may include a holding portion 321 and a sliding guide surface 322. The uppermost edge of the hook portion 32 forms the holding portion 321, and the surface of the hook portion opposite to the extension portion 31 forms the sliding guide surface 322. The sliding guide surface 322 may be configured to taper from the upper end to the lower end, so that its width is minimized at the lower end, which helps the claw portion 3 slide through the brim portion 92 of the cap element 9. In this embodiment, the extension 31 of the claw 3 can be configured to be spring-back. When the hook 31 moves downward through the brim 92 of the cap element 9, the extension 31 can deform outward so that the hook 32 can move through the brim 92 of the cap element 9. When the hook 31 moves below the brim 92 of the cap element 9, the extension 31 can spring back so that the holding part 321 of the hook can hook the brim 92 of the cap element 9.

[0058] In some embodiments, the claw 3 is made of a resilient material. For example, the claw 3 may be made of a resilient steel sheet.

[0059] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the claw portion 3 may include 3 claws. In other embodiments, the claw portion 3 may include any number of claws, such as 2 claws, 4 claws, 5 claws, etc.

[0060] In some implementations, such as Figures 9-11 As shown, the tool for removing cap parts is configured to have an adjustable diameter to accommodate cap parts 9 of different diameters. The handle 1 may include multiple longitudinal structural portions 13 and circumferential connecting portions 14. The longitudinal structural portions 13 may extend along the longitudinal direction, and the circumferential connecting portions 14 may extend along the circumferential direction. Adjacent longitudinal structural portions 13 are connected by the circumferential connecting portions 14.

[0061] In some embodiments, the longitudinal structural portion 13 may be configured to have holes extending in the circumferential direction, with the holes of adjacent longitudinal structural portions 13 facing each other, and the circumferential connecting portion 14 configured to be inserted into the holes of the longitudinal structural portions 13. The diameter of the holes of the longitudinal structural portions 13 may be set to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the circumferential connecting portion 14 to generate sufficient frictional force to connect the longitudinal structural portions 13 and the circumferential connecting portion 14.

[0062] In some implementations, such as Figure 11As shown, the circumferential connecting part 14 can have a plurality of protrusions 141 distributed along its extending direction. The inner surface of the hole of the longitudinal structural part 13 can have a plurality of recesses 131 matched with the shape of the plurality of protrusions 141. The matching of the protrusions 141 and the recesses 131 makes the pressure applied by the hand insufficient to cause the relative sliding of the longitudinal structural part 13 and the circumferential connecting part 14, i.e. insufficient to change the diameter of the picking tool when the picking tool is operated.

[0063] In some embodiments, the number of circumferential connecting parts 14 per round is equal to the number of longitudinal structural parts 13, i.e. there is one circumferential connecting part 14 between every two longitudinal structural parts 13 in this round.

[0064] In some embodiments, the handle 1 can include 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. any number of longitudinal structural parts 13.

[0065] In some embodiments, the handle 1 can include 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. any number of circumferential connecting parts 14.

[0066] In some embodiments, the number of claws of the claw part 3 can be equal to the number of longitudinal structural parts 13.

[0067] In some embodiments, the number of claws of the claw part 3 can be equal to one half, one third, one fourth, one fifth or one sixth, etc. of the number of longitudinal structural parts 13, and if it is not an integer, then it is rounded down or up. The claws of the claw part 3 can be evenly installed on all or part of the longitudinal structural parts 13 of the handle 1 in the circumferential direction.

[0068] In some embodiments, the number of fastening parts 2 can be equal to the number of claws of the claw part 3. Each claw of the claw part 3 can be fastened to one longitudinal structural part 13 by one fastening part 2.

[0069] In some embodiments, the picking tool is provided with a plurality of diameter adjustment accessories for adjusting the diameter of the picking tool. The diameter adjustment accessories can include a diameter reducing accessory and a diameter increasing accessory.

[0070] The diameter reducing accessory includes a through hole with internal threads, and the inner diameter of the through hole is equal to the target outer diameter of the picking tool. Correspondingly, the outer surface of the longitudinal structural part 13 has protrusions (not shown) distributed in the longitudinal direction, and the protrusions of the outer surfaces of all the longitudinal structural parts 13 are distributed in a spiral shape as a whole, which together constitute the external threads of the handle 1.

[0071] The diameter increasing accessory is generally cylindrical, with an outer peripheral surface having external threads. The outer diameter of the diameter increasing accessory is equal to the target inner diameter of the extraction tool. Correspondingly, the inner surface of the longitudinal structure 13 has protrusions (not shown) distributed along the longitudinal direction, all the protrusions of the inner surface of the longitudinal structure 13 are distributed helically as a whole, and collectively constitute the internal threads of the handle 1.

[0072] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface of the diameter increasing accessory can have an outer diameter tapering towards one end thereof to guide the diameter increasing accessory into the through hole of the extraction tool whose current inner diameter is smaller; the through hole of the diameter decreasing accessory can have an inner diameter expanding towards one end thereof to guide the extraction tool whose current outer diameter is larger into the through hole of the diameter decreasing accessory.

[0073] In combination Figures 9-11 The process of increasing the diameter of the extraction tool using the diameter increasing accessory described above is described.

[0074] The end of the diameter increasing accessory having the tapering outer diameter is inserted between the claw portions 3 of the extraction tool, causing the claw portions 3 to elastically spread outward, so that the diameter increasing accessory passes through the claw portions 3 and is inserted into the lower end of the handle 1. When the internal threads of the handle 1 touch the external threads of the diameter increasing accessory, the diameter increasing accessory is started to be rotated, so that the external threads of the diameter increasing accessory engage the internal threads of the handle 1. The diameter increasing accessory is continuously rotated, so that the diameter increasing accessory continues to be inserted into the internal space of the handle 1, at this time the diameter increasing accessory forces the adjacent longitudinal structures 13 of the handle 1 to move away from each other, the circumferential connecting portions 14 move relative to the longitudinal structures 13, so that the length of the exposed sections of the circumferential connecting portions 14 increases, and thus the inner diameter of the extraction tool increases to be equal to the outer diameter of the diameter increasing accessory. Finally, the diameter increasing accessory exits from the upper opening 12 of the handle 1. At this time, the process of increasing the diameter of the extraction tool is completed.

[0075] In combination Figures 9-11 The process of decreasing the diameter of the extraction tool using the diameter decreasing accessory described above is described.

[0076] The claw portion 3 of the extraction tool is inserted into the end of the through hole of the diameter-reducing fitting with gradually increasing diameter, and the claw portion 3 is elastically retracted inward, so that the diameter-reducing fitting accommodates the claw portion 3 and the lower end of the handle 1. When the external thread of the handle 1 touches the internal thread of the diameter-reducing fitting, the diameter-reducing fitting is started to be rotated, so that the internal thread of the diameter-reducing fitting engages with the external thread of the handle 1. The diameter-reducing fitting is continuously rotated, so that the handle 1 continuously enters the internal cavity of the diameter-reducing fitting, at this time, the diameter-reducing fitting forces the adjacent longitudinal structure portions 13 of the handle 1 to be close to each other, and the circumferential connecting portion 14 moves relative to the longitudinal structure portions 13, so that the exposed section of the circumferential connecting portion 14 is shortened, and thus the outer diameter of the extraction tool is reduced to equal to the inner diameter of the diameter-reducing fitting. Finally, the diameter-reducing fitting is separated from the upper end of the handle 1. At this time, the diameter-reducing process of the extraction tool is completed.

[0077] Next, the process of using the above-mentioned extraction tool to extract the cap parts 9 will be described. Figures 1-8

[0078] The operator holds the handle 1 of the extraction tool by hand, and extends the claw portion 3 into the operation space and towards the cap parts 9. The sliding guide surface 322 of the claw portion 3 first touches the outer periphery of the brim portion 92 of the cap part 9. As the extraction tool continues to extend, the sliding guide surface 322 slides relative to the outer periphery of the brim portion 92 (as shown in FIG. 6), and the outer periphery of the brim portion 92 forces the claw portion 3 to be elastically deformed outward. When the clamping portion 321 of the claw portion 3 exceeds the brim portion 92 of the cap part 9, the clamping portion 321 of the claw portion 3 moves inward under the action of the elastic force and clamps in the re-entrant corner 93 at the transition between the brim portion 92 and the barrel portion 91 of the cap part 9. At this time, the handle 1 can be pulled upward, so that the claw portion 3 pulls the brim portion 92 upward, thereby extracting the cap part 9. In some cases, the clamping portion 321 of the claw portion 3 will hit the cap part 9 when it rebounds, making a sound, or the insertion force will change (for example, the insertion force becomes smaller) after rebounding. The operator can hear the sound and / or feel the change in insertion force, and then pull the handle 1 upward, so that the claw portion 3 pulls the brim portion 92 upward, thereby extracting the cap part 9. Figure 1

[0079] Before extracting the next cap part 9, the previous cap part 9 does not need to be removed from the extraction tool. The claw portion 3 is directly extended towards the next cap part 9, and the next cap part 9 pushes the previous cap part 9 into the internal space of the handle 1. After sequentially extracting a plurality of cap parts 9, the plurality of cap parts 9 enter the internal space of the handle 1 one by one and are stacked one above another in the internal space. When the cap parts 9 gradually fill the internal space of the handle 1, the operator can batch discharge all the cap parts 9 from the opening 12 at the upper end of the handle 1.
