[0030] During the maintenance of the optical pod, the replacement of the desiccant is a routine and important task. The main function of the desiccant is to absorb and remove the moisture that may exist inside the pod, thereby protecting the electronic components inside the pod from the damage of the humid environment. However, in actual operation, the desiccant particles are often stuck in the threads, causing the desiccant cover to be difficult to open, at which time auxiliary tools such as pliers, wrenches, etc. are needed to open, but improper use may cause damage to the paint surface of the cover or even cause deformation of the cover, making it inconvenient to open and affecting work efficiency.

[0031] In addition, violent opening of the desiccant cover may also cause potential pollution to the environment. The desiccant commonly used in optical pods is color-changing silica gel desiccant, which contains a small amount of cobalt chloride as an indicator. Under normal circumstances, these cobalt chlorides are wrapped inside the silica gel and will not leak out. However, in the process of violent opening, the desiccant is easily broken, causing the cobalt chloride to leak. If these harmful substances leak into the soil or water, they may cause irreversible damage to the ecological environment.

[0032] The utility model provides a desiccant cover dismounting tool 100.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In an embodiment of the present application, the desiccant cover dismounting tool 100 comprises:

[0034] A base body 1, a clamping groove 11 is formed in the base body 1;

[0035] A clamping piece 2, the clamping piece 2 is movably connected to the base body 1, the number of the clamping piece 2 is multiple, and the clamping piece 2 is distributed on the side of the clamping groove 11;

[0036] Among them, the clamping piece 2 is partially located in the clamping groove 11, so as to clamp the desiccant cover 7 in the clamping groove 11;

[0037] As Figure 4 shown, it should be noted that, in order to prevent desiccant leakage, a detachable desiccant cover 7 is usually used to store desiccant, which includes a first cover and a second cover, the first cover and the second cover are threadedly connected, and the desiccant is located between the first cover and the second cover, so that when the desiccant is taken out, the desiccant particles may be stuck in the threaded connection between the first cover and the second cover;

[0038] Wherein, the desiccant cover 7 is detachably connected to the gondola opening, and a plurality of air holes are formed in the first cover close to the gondola side, which communicate the gondola and the inside of the desiccant cover 7;

[0039] And, the color-changing silica gel desiccant can reflect the use of the desiccant, so as to facilitate observation, and the second cover away from the gondola side is provided with an observation window to observe the use of the desiccant stored in the desiccant cover 7.

[0040] It can be understood that the number of the clamping pieces 2 is multiple, and they are uniformly distributed around the clamping groove 11 to uniformly clamp the desiccant cover 7 and ensure the stability of clamping.

[0041] The technical scheme of the utility model provides stable torque by rotating the base body 1 to drive the desiccant cover 7 to open, not only improves the work efficiency, but also ensures the integrity of the gondola part.

[0042] As Figure 1 shown, optionally, the base body 1 is provided with a plurality of slides 3, which are distributed around the clamping groove 11 at intervals to install the clamping pieces 2, and the slides 3 communicate with the clamping groove 11.

[0043] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, it can be understood that the slides 3 allow the clamping pieces 2 to move flexibly and adjust the position on the base body 1 to adapt to desiccant covers 7 of different sizes and shapes, and this flexibility ensures that the clamping pieces 2 can tightly and stably clamp the desiccant cover 7, which provides an effective solution even when facing special or difficult-to-open desiccant covers 7.

[0044] Meanwhile, the slide 3 is communicated with the clamping groove 11, so that the clamping piece 2 can smoothly enter and act on the desiccant cover 7, further enhancing the stability and reliability of clamping.

[0045] Further, through the slide 3, the operator can easily disassemble the clamping piece 2, clean and lubricate the slide 3, and also replace the clamping piece 2 to adapt to different types of the desiccant cover 7.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cross section of the clamping groove 11 is circular, the clamping pieces 2 are uniformly distributed around the clamping groove 11, and the extension direction of the slide 3 points to the center of the clamping groove 11, to ensure uniform and stable clamping force.

[0047] Optionally, the clamping piece 2 includes a bayonet 21, the bayonet 21 is slidingly connected to the slide 3, the bayonet 21 is provided with a clamping portion 22 near one end of the clamping groove 11, and the cross-sectional shape of the clamping portion 22 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the side of the desiccant cover 7.

[0048] It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the clamping portion 22 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the side of the desiccant cover 7, which ensures that the clamping piece 2 can be closely and uniformly attached to the surface of the desiccant cover 7. This precise clamping not only improves the stability of the disassembly process, but also effectively reduces damage to the desiccant cover 7 caused by improper clamping, protecting the integrity of the desiccant cover 7.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first cover and the second cover have different side textures, so different cross-sectional shapes of the clamping portion 22 are required to adapt to the first cover and the second cover.

[0050] Optionally, the side wall of the bayonet 21 is outwardly convexly provided with a detent portion 23, the side wall of the slide 3 is inwardly concave to form a limiting sliding groove 31, the detent portion 23 is located in the limiting sliding groove 31, and the limiting sliding groove 31 is used to limit the movement distance of the detent portion 23.

[0051] As shown in Figure 3 It should be noted that through the detent portion 23 and the limiting sliding groove 31, the bayonet 21 can be prevented from sliding out of the slide 3, so as to avoid the need for reassembly during use, save time, and improve maintenance efficiency.

[0052] It should be noted that when the bayonet 21 moves to a certain position, the detent portion 23 abuts against the side wall of the limiting sliding groove 31 to limit the movement of the bayonet 21.

[0053] Optionally, the clamping piece 2 further comprises a push rod 4, which is slidingly connected to the base body 1 and connected to the catch pin 21 at one end and located outside the base body 1 at the other end, so as to push the catch pin 21 to move inward.

[0054] It should be noted that the push rod 4 enables the operator to more intuitively control the movement of the catch pin 21, thereby simplifying the operation process, and the operator only needs to push the push rod 4 to easily realize the inward movement of the catch pin 21, thereby clamping the desiccant cover 7, and greatly improving the work efficiency.

[0055] In some embodiments, the push rod 4 abuts against the clamping piece 2 to push the clamping piece 2 to move inward; or the push rod 4 is fixedly connected to the clamping piece 2 to drive the clamping piece 2 to move, thereby clamping or releasing the desiccant cover 7.

[0056] Optionally, the push rod 4 is threadedly connected to the base body 1, the length direction of the push rod 4 is consistent with the length direction of the slide 3, and the push rod 4 penetrates the slide 3 to push the catch pin 21 to move inward.

[0057] It can be understood that the push rod 4 is threadedly connected to the base body 1, the catch pin 21 is pushed to move inward for clamping by rotating the push rod 4, and when the catch pin 21 clamps the desiccant cover 7, the catch pin 21 is prevented from moving outward, thereby ensuring the stability of clamping the desiccant cover 7 and the operation safety.

[0058] In some embodiments, the push rod 4 penetrates the slide 3 and abuts against the catch pin 21.

[0059] Optionally, a mounting through hole is formed in the side surface of the base body 1, the mounting through hole communicates with the slide 3, the extension direction of the mounting through hole is the same as the extension direction of the slide 3, and the push rod 4 is threadedly connected to the mounting through hole.

[0060] As shown in Figure 3 In some embodiments, a pull cap is arranged in the mounting through hole, and the push rod 4 is threadedly connected to the mounting through hole through the pull cap.

[0061] Optionally, the surface of the base body 1 is provided with a mounting notch 5, the cross-sectional shape of the mounting notch 5 corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the catch pin 21, and the mounting notch 5 communicates with the slide 3 to mount the catch pin 21.

[0062] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the opening direction of the mounting notch 5 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide 3.

[0063] Understandably, when the locking part 23 is provided, the locking pin 21 is difficult to slide into and install from both ends of the slide rail 3. The installation notch 5 allows the locking pin 21 to be installed into the slide rail 3, and the installation notch 5 greatly simplifies the installation process of the locking pin 21. The operator only needs to align the locking pin 21 with the installation notch 5 and push it in to complete the installation. This design not only saves installation time but also reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0064] Optionally, the desiccant cap removal tool 100 further includes a cover 6 that engages with the mounting notch 5 to prevent the locking pin 21 from being removed from the mounting notch 5.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, it should be noted that if there is no obstruction, the locking pin 21 can slide out from the mounting notch 5. Therefore, the cover 6 effectively prevents the locking pin 21 from accidentally moving out of the mounting notch 5, ensuring that the disassembly tool can remain stable during use and avoiding potential safety risks caused by the locking pin 21 falling off.

[0066] Furthermore, the cover 6 fits into the mounting notch 5, which can prevent dust and other contaminants from entering the slide rail 3 and ensure the smooth movement of the locking pin 21.

[0067] Optionally, the cover 6 includes an integrally connected cover ring 61 and cover protrusion 62. The base 1 has a recessed mounting groove 12 for mounting the cover ring 61. The cover protrusion 62 is located around the cover ring 61 and fits into the mounting notch 5.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, it should be noted that the number of slides 3 corresponds to the number of clamping members 2, and they are located around the clamping groove 11 respectively. There are also multiple mounting notches 5, which need to be covered.

[0069] The cover ring 61 and the covering protrusion 62 are connected in one piece, which can cover multiple installation notches 5 at the same time, eliminating the need to install them one by one, saving installation time and ensuring installation efficiency.

[0070] Furthermore, the cover ring 61 is installed by means of the recessed mounting groove 12, making the installation process of the cover 6 simpler and faster.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover ring 61 is installed in the mounting groove 12 by screws to ensure the relative fixation of the cover 6 and the base 1.

[0072] Optionally, a rotating frame 13 is arranged on the side of the base body 1 away from the clamping groove 11.

[0073] It can be understood that the base body 1 can be rotated by the rotating frame 13, which facilitates the operator to apply force.

[0074] The above is only an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields within the technical concept of the present application is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
