[0027] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0028] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0029] The following reference Figures 1 to 7 This application describes the structure of a foldable and portable automotive parameter diagnostic instrument according to some embodiments.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This application provides a foldable and portable automotive parameter diagnostic instrument structure in some embodiments, comprising a housing 1, with a left storage slot 7 and a right storage slot 8 respectively opened at the left and right ends of the housing 1; a lid 2, which is hinged to one side of the housing 1 by a damping hinge to cover the housing 1; and a diagnostic instrument body 3, which is embedded in the inside of the lid 2, with a cable 4 connected to one side of the diagnostic instrument body 3, and a test head 5 connected to the end of the cable 4.
[0031] In this embodiment, with the cover 2 open, it is convenient to operate the diagnostic instrument body 3, and the test head 5 is convenient to cooperate with the diagnostic instrument body 3 to perform diagnostic operations on the car. The left storage compartment 7 is convenient to store the cable 4 and the test head 5, and inserting the test head 5 into the slot of the recessed block 27 helps to prevent the test head 5 from shaking randomly in the left storage compartment 7.
[0032] In some embodiments, a clamping and fixing assembly is located below the housing 1 and is used to clamp the arm to carry the operating diagnostic instrument structure. The clamping and fixing assembly includes: a plug 9, and a slot 6 is opened in the middle of the lower end of the housing 1. The plug 9 is inserted into the slot 6. The clamping and fixing assembly also includes: a concave rail frame 4, which is connected to the lower end of the damping rotating shaft 13; two symmetrical arc-shaped clamping plates 12, both located below the concave rail frame 4, for clamping the operator's arm; two sliders 16, distributed left and right, both slidably connected to the concave rail frame 4, and the arc-shaped clamping plates 12 are fixed to the lower end of the adjacent sliders 16; and a bidirectional lead screw 15, threaded through the two sliders 16, with both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 15 rotating out of the concave rail frame 4, for adjusting the clamping force of the arc-shaped clamping plates 12.
[0033] In this embodiment, when using the diagnostic instrument structure, turning the bidirectional lead screw 15 causes the slider 16 to slide along the concave rail frame 14, bringing the two sliders 16 closer together. Simultaneously, the sliders 16 move the arc-shaped clamping plate 12, causing the arc-shaped clamping plate 12 to move closer together. Then, the arc-shaped clamping plate 12 is clamped onto the operator's arm to prevent the diagnostic instrument structure from falling, freeing up both hands for other operations. Moreover, the diagnostic instrument structure will not slip out of the hands during operation, thus preventing accidental drop and damage. Since the diagnostic instrument structure can move with the arm, it is convenient to carry and use, requiring no assistance from others to handle, making operation easy.
[0034] In some embodiments, the damping shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the middle of the lower end of the insert block 9, and is used to adjust the operating direction of the diagnostic instrument structure.
[0035] In this embodiment, the rotation of the damping shaft 13 facilitates the rotation of the housing 1, the cover 2, and the diagnostic instrument body 3, thereby allowing the diagnostic instrument body 3 to be adjusted to a suitable orientation for use.
[0036] In some embodiments, the elastic cushioning pads 26 are all connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 12 to provide elastic cushioning when the arm is clamped.
[0037] By setting the elastic buffer pad 26, when the arc-shaped clamp 12 clamps the arm, the elastic buffer pad 26 provides elastic cushioning for the arm, which helps to prevent the arc-shaped clamp 12 from pinching the arm and improves the comfort when the arc-shaped clamp 12 clamps the arm.
[0038] In some embodiments, the insert 9 has a threaded hole 10 on the right side, and a threaded rod 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 10. The threaded rod 11 passes through the housing 1 and enters the right storage slot 8.
[0039] In this embodiment, when the insert 9 is inserted into the slot 6, the threaded rod 11 is tightened into the threaded hole 10, which helps to prevent the insert 9 from moving out of the slot 6 and helps to ensure the firmness of the clamping and fixing assembly installed under the housing 1.
[0040] In some embodiments, a magnet block 18 is fixed to the upper end of the right wall inside the right storage slot 8, and a protective cover 17 made of iron is covered to the upper end of the right storage slot 8. The left end of the protective cover 17 is hinged to the left wall inside the right storage slot 8, and the right end of the protective cover 17 rests on the magnet block 18. The outer surface of the protective cover 17 is covered with a rubber pad.
[0041] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to store the clamping and fixing component, the threaded rod 11 is unscrewed out of the threaded hole 10, and the insert 9 is pulled out from the slot 6, so as to facilitate the removal of the clamping and fixing component. After opening the protective cover 17, the clamping and fixing component is placed upside down in the right storage slot 8. Then, the protective cover 17 is placed over the right storage slot 8. The magnetic force of the magnet 18 attracts the iron protective cover 17 to prevent the protective cover 17 from being opened accidentally. It is convenient to cover the clamping and fixing component in the right storage slot 8 through the protective cover 17. Since the outer surface of the protective cover 17 is wrapped with a rubber pad, it is to prevent the clamping and fixing component from bumping and damaging the diagnostic instrument body 3 when the box cover 2 is closed.
[0042] In some embodiments, an L-shaped grip 22 is fixed to the right side of the case 1 for carrying the diagnostic instrument structure by hand; a self-locking assembly is located at the end of the case lid 2 to prevent the case lid 2 from being opened accidentally; the self-locking assembly includes: a limiting rod 19 fixed to the end of the case lid 2, the end of the limiting rod 19 having a contraction groove 20; a return spring 21, one end of which is connected to the contraction groove 20; a push block 24 connected to the other end of the return spring 21, and the push block 24 is slidably connected to the contraction groove 20; and a locking block 28 fixed to the end of the push block 24, the inner end of the L-shaped grip 22 having a locking groove 23, the locking block 28 matching the locking groove 23, and one side of the locking block 28 being inclined.
[0043] In this embodiment, when the diagnostic instrument structure needs to be folded and stored, the case cover 2 is closed and covers the case body 1. During this process, the L-shaped handle 22 pushes the push block 24 into the shrink groove 20 through the inclined surface of the locking block 28. The push block 24 compresses the return spring 21 until the locking block 28 is aligned with the slot of the slot 23. Then, the return force of the return spring 21 drives the push block 24 and the locking block 28 to reset, thereby causing the locking block 28 to automatically lock into the slot 23, preventing the case cover 2 from being accidentally opened. This facilitates the convenient folding and storage of the diagnostic instrument body 3, achieving the effect of protecting the diagnostic instrument body 3. At this time, the diagnostic instrument structure can be carried by hand through the L-shaped handle 22, which facilitates the convenient carrying and transfer of the diagnostic instrument structure.
[0044] In some embodiments, the pull plate 25 is fixed to the outside of the push block 24.
[0045] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to open the box cover 2, by pulling the pull plate 25 and driving the push block 24 to move into the shrink groove 20, the push block 24 will drive the locking block 28 to move out of the locking groove 23, thereby making it convenient to open the box cover 2 and facilitating the convenient operation of the diagnostic instrument structure.
