[0037] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a combination tool for installing screws in a data cabinet includes a pair of pliers 1. The pair of pliers 1 includes a base 11, a snap-fit box 12, and a top cover 13 connected by a pivot. A pressing cover 14 is installed on the top cover 13.
[0039] The upper cover 13 is equipped with a pressure plate 131 at the end away from the pivot. The pressure plate 131 is an L-shaped plate, with its horizontal part located below the pressing cover 14 and its vertical part having a sliding hole 132. One end of the pressing cover 14 passes through the sliding hole 132 and moves along the sliding hole 132. The pressing cover 14 is hinged to the upper part of the pushing assembly 15, and the lower part of the pushing assembly 15 is installed in the slide of the buckle box 12.
[0040] The buckle 2 is placed in the slide of the buckle box 12, and the pushing component 15 pushes the buckle 2 to abut against the end of the buckle box 12; the buckle 2 includes a buckle body 21 and a nut 22. The buckle body 21 has a U-shaped structure, and the horizontal part of the buckle body 21 has a through hole for installing a screw 221 that mates with the nut 22. The nut 22 is installed on the inner side of the middle part of the buckle body 21.
[0041] A bending plate 16 is installed on the base 11. The bending plate 16 and the buckle box 12 are located on both sides of the cabinet wall panel 3. Pressing the top cover 13 causes the buckle body 21 to pass through the cabinet wall panel 3 on both sides and bend outward along the bending plate 16.
[0042] The combination tool for installing data cabinet screws described in this utility model applies Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology. The two sides of the clip 2 are designed as flat surfaces, and the clip is placed in the clip box. Simply press the top cover of the pliers 1 to bend the two sides of the clip 2 outward along the bending plate to install and fix the clip. This reduces the difficulty and time consumption of manual operation, thereby reducing fatigue and potential errors caused by long-term repetitive labor, improving the installation efficiency of data cabinet screws, and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of each installation, thus improving the overall construction quality.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cross-section of the bending plate 16 is W-shaped.
[0044] In practical use, the W-shaped bending plate not only supports the cabinet wall panel but also provides guidance for the installation of the clip 2. When the clip body 21 passes through the cabinet wall panel, the multiple curved sections of the W-shaped bending plate can guide the clip to be correctly positioned and bent.
[0045] The W-shaped bend plate design allows the tool to adapt to rack panels of varying thicknesses and shapes, increasing its applicability and flexibility. By providing clear guidance and support, the W-shaped bend plate helps reduce potential errors during installation, ensuring that each clip is accurately installed.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the buckle box 12 includes a box body 121 and a guide plate 122. The bottom of the box body 121 is provided with a through hole adapted to the shape of the buckle 2. The bottom wall of the box body 121 is equipped with a guide plate 122 for guiding the pushing component 15. The pressing cover 14 flips to drive the pushing component 15 to move along the guide plate 122, thereby limiting the buckle body 21.
[0047] The guide plate 122 has a U-shaped cross-section, and the horizontal part of the guide plate 122 is mounted on the box body 121.
[0048] In actual use, the buckle 2 can be positioned and installed through the through hole at the bottom of the housing 121. The guide plate 122 guides the pushing component 15 to ensure that it moves along a predetermined path. The pushing component 15 limits the buckle body 21 to ensure that the buckle 2 maintains the correct position and posture during installation.
[0049] The guiding effect of the guide plate 122 on the pushing component 15 and the limiting effect of the pushing component 15 on the snap-fit body 21 together enhance the stability of the installation process and reduce errors caused by improper installation. Due to the simplification of the installation process, the labor intensity of construction workers is significantly reduced, and fatigue and potential errors caused by long-term repetitive work are reduced.
[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pushing component 15 includes a hinge plate 151 and a push plate 152. One end of the hinge plate 151 is hinged to the pressing cover 14, and the other end is connected to the push plate 152. The push plate 152 has a U-shaped cross section. The open end of the push plate 152 contacts the bottom of the box body 121, and the inner walls on both sides move along the outer wall of the guide plate 122.
[0051] In actual use, the open end of the push plate 152 contacts the bottom of the box 121 to ensure that the push assembly 15 remains stable during movement. The two sides of the push plate 152 move along the two sides of the guide plate 122 respectively to ensure the precise guidance and positioning of the push assembly 15 and reduce possible shaking or deviation during movement.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom walls of the box 121 are bent upwards at both ends to form a first upright plate 1211 and a second upright plate 1212. A guide post 123 is installed between the first upright plate 1211 and the second upright plate 1212. A spring 124 is sleeved on the guide post 123. One end of the spring 124 is connected to the first upright plate 1211, and the other end is connected to the push plate 152.
[0053] In actual use, upright plate 1211 and upright plate 2 1212 provide support for guide post 123, and push plate 152 drives spring 124 to move along guide post 123.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the length of the horizontal portion of the pressure plate 131 is the same as the length of the buckle 2.
[0055] In actual use, the horizontal part of the pressure plate 131 is the same length as the buckle 2, which makes it easy to press the buckle 2.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the pressing cover 14 is provided with a pressing groove 141 that is adapted to the shape of the horizontal part of the pressing plate 131, and the horizontal part of the pressing plate 131 is located at the pressing groove 141.
[0057] The end of the box body 121 is provided with a limiting groove 1213 for limiting the pressing cover 14.
[0058] In actual use, when the top cover 13 is pressed, after the end of the pressing cover 14 is limited by the limiting groove 1213, the top cover 13 drives the pressure plate 131 to continue pressing the buckle 2. This cooperation not only limits the range of movement of the pressing cover 14, but also ensures that the pressing cover 14 maintains the correct position and posture during the pressing process.
[0059] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a reset spring is provided between the top of the pressing cover 14 and the upper cover 13.
[0060] In practical use, the spring force of the return spring ensures that the press cover 14 automatically returns to its initial position after being pressed. This allows the press cover 14 to quickly return to its initial position when the user releases the top cover 13, preparing it for the next press and improving ease of use. Simultaneously, the return spring 14 absorbs and cushions the impact force during pressing, making the user experience more comfortable and reducing impact and wear on the device itself, thus extending the product's lifespan.
[0061] Working principle of the combination tool for installing screws in data cabinets:
[0062] Flip the top cover 13 so that the pressing cover 14 drives the pushing component 15 to move from the through hole end of the box body 121 to the other end, compressing the spring 124; put the buckle 2 into the slide of the buckle box 12, rotate the top cover 13, and under the action of the pressing cover 14 and the spring 124, push the component 15 to move so that the buckle 2 abuts against the inner wall of the buckle box 12.
[0063] Take the pliers 1 to the data cabinet and adjust its position so that the clip box 12 and the bending plate 16 are located on both sides of the cabinet wall panel 3, and align the clips 2 with the clip mounting holes on the cabinet wall panel 3. Press the top cover 13 so that the clips 2 pass through the clip mounting holes on the cabinet wall panel 3 and bend outwards to contact the bottom of the cabinet wall panel 3. The clips 2 are now installed. Tighten the screws 221 into the nuts 22 to fix the cabinet wall panel 3.
[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
