Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal detector technology, specifically a handheld metal detector. Background Technology
[0002] Handheld metal detectors are commonly used portable detection devices widely used in fields such as archaeology, geological exploration, and security checks. Through internal sensors and circuits, handheld metal detectors can detect the presence of metal objects. When the detector's probe approaches a metal object, the sensor generates a magnetic field. If the metal object is in the magnetic field, it will form an eddy current. This eddy current, in turn, affects the magnetic field, thus being detected by the detector.
[0003] Common handheld metal detectors typically consist of a probe and a handle. When using a handheld metal detector, the hand holds the handle and brings the probe close to or scans areas suspected of containing metal objects. However, the handle has a limited length, making it inconvenient to detect areas at a distance. Therefore, a handheld metal detector is proposed to address the above problem. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] A handheld metal detector includes a handheld metal detector body 1 and a bolt 5 consisting of a head component and a screw. The handheld metal detector body 1 includes a probe 101 with a built-in sensor, a handle 102, and a control switch 103. The handle 102 is rotatably connected to one side of the probe 101. The control switch 103 is embedded in the inner side of the handle 102. An outer sleeve 2 is sleeved on the outer side of the handle 102. A positioning block 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the handle 102. A positioning hole 4 is opened in the inner side of the positioning block 3. The screw of the bolt 5 is provided in the inner side of the positioning hole 4. A nut 6 is threadedly connected to one end of the bolt 5. A plurality of evenly arranged screw holes 8 are opened in the inner side of the outer sleeve 2. The screw of the bolt 5 passes through the screw holes 8. A through groove 10 is opened on one side of the outer sleeve 2. This arrangement allows the length of the handle 102 to be extended through the outer sleeve 2.
[0027] The radius of the cross-sectional circle of the screw hole 8 is equal to that of the cross-sectional circle of the positioning hole 4. Part of the screw hole 8 is connected to the through groove 10. This arrangement allows the screw of the bolt 5 to pass through the screw hole 8, the positioning hole 4, and the through groove 10. A washer 7 is sleeved on the outside of the bolt 5. The washer 7 is placed between the head of the bolt 5 and the outer sleeve 2. The washer 7 fits against the head of the bolt 5 and the outer sleeve 2. The outer diameter of the washer 7 is larger than the width of the through groove 10. This arrangement prevents the head of the bolt 5 from entering the through groove 10, making it easy to remove the bolt 5. A positioning groove 11 is opened on one side of the outer sleeve 2. The positioning block 3 is engaged inside the positioning groove 11. This arrangement facilitates the positioning of the positioning block 3. Ventilation holes 9 are evenly arranged on the inner side of the outer sleeve 2. There are several ventilation holes 9 in total. This arrangement allows the handle 102 to circulate with air and dissipate heat through the ventilation holes 9.
[0028] Workflow: All electrical appliances in this invention are equipped with an external power supply or a built-in battery. When using the handheld metal detector body 1 to detect metal in a distant area, rotate the nut 6 to move it away from the outer sleeve 2. Then drag the head of the bolt 5 to disengage the bolt from the screw hole 8 and the positioning hole 4 in the positioning block 3. At this point, the washer 7 can be removed. Then drag the outer sleeve 2 to make it slide relative to the handle 102 away from the probe 101. The positioning block 3 will disengage from the positioning groove 11, and the control switch 103 will slide inside the through groove 10, so that the outer sleeve 2 will not affect the use of the control switch 103. When the outer sleeve 2 moves to the appropriate position, the washer 7 is attached to the outer sleeve 2 and the washer 7 is placed on the outside of the through groove 10. The position of the outer sleeve 2 is continuously and slightly adjusted so that the bolt 5 can pass through the through groove 10, the positioning hole 4 and the screw hole 8 opened in the positioning block 3 in sequence, and the head of the bolt 5 is attached to the washer 7. Then the nut 6 is attached to the bolt 5. The rod is threaded to position the outer sleeve 2. The outer diameter of the washer 7 is larger than the width of the through groove 10, so that the head of the bolt 5 will not enter the through groove 10, making it easy to remove the bolt 5. The washer 7 can also improve the stability and reliability of the connection between the bolt 5 and the outer sleeve 2. After the position of the outer sleeve 2 is adjusted, the handheld metal detector body 1 can be started by controlling the switch 103. Then, the probe 101 is brought close to or scanned by the outer sleeve 2 and the handle 102 together. When the probe 101 of the handheld metal detector body 1 is close to the metal object, the sensor built into the probe 101 will generate a magnetic field. If the metal object is in the magnetic field, it will form an eddy current. This eddy current will affect the magnetic field and be detected by the handheld metal detector body 1. The circuit inside the handle 102 of the handheld metal detector body 1 will generate heat over time, which will cause some heat to accumulate inside the handle 102. The handle 102 can circulate and dissipate heat with the air through the vent 9.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
