[0026] The present invention will be described in more detail below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer as will be explained below. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] This embodiment provides a tooling fixture for removing probes. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 It includes: a clamping part and a hand-held part 3;

[0028] One end of each of the two clamping parts is rotatably connected together by a connecting rod 7, and the other end of each clamping part is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 6; the two ends of the hand-held part 3 are respectively hinged to the two clamping parts, and one side extends movably to the connecting rod 7.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two clamping parts form a certain angle, thus constituting a basic structure similar to pliers. The top ends of the two supports 1 are connected by a connecting rod 7, making the entire tooling fixture structure more stable and less prone to twisting or deformation when removing the probe. One end of the clamping parts is connected to each other as a hinge point, which is the fulcrum for the movement of the entire fixture. A handheld part 3 is provided between the clamping parts for the operator to control the fixture. The other end of the clamping parts is provided with several clamping grooves 6 for direct contact and clamping of the working part of the probe.

[0030] Utilizing the lever principle, when the handle 3 moves upward, a small input force can be generated to achieve a large clamping force. Multiple clamping slots 6 can achieve batch clamping.

[0031] For further details, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 Each of the clamping parts includes two brackets 1 and a clamping end 5 located at one end of the bracket. The clamping end 5 connects the two brackets 1. Each of the other ends of the brackets 1 has a through hole at its top. The connecting rod 7 passes through the through hole and is movably and fixedly connected to the two brackets 1. The clamping groove 6 is placed on the clamping end 5.

[0032] Specifically, after fixing the clamping end 5, the distance between the two supports 1 remains constant, improving operational accuracy. The clamping end 5 can be snapped onto the support 1 or fixed in other ways, such as with bolts. The fixing effect of the connecting rod 7 allows the operator to apply force more confidently when removing the probe, reducing safety hazards caused by the displacement of the support 1. If the connecting rod 7 or the support 1 becomes worn, the entire tooling fixture can be maintained by replacing the connecting rod 7 or the individual support 1, without replacing the entire fixture, thus reducing maintenance costs. The addition of the connecting rod 7 makes the force distribution of the entire fixture more even, reducing local stress concentration and extending the service life of the fixture.

[0033] Furthermore, the handheld part 3 is arranged parallel to the clamping end 5, and both ends are movably connected to the bracket 1 through a hinge structure.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 The handgrip 3 (the part held by the hand) is positioned parallel to the clamping end 5, allowing the operator to maintain a stable grip during use. Both ends of the handgrip 3 are connected to the bracket 1 via hinged structures (such as hinges or similar movable connecting parts). This connection method allows the handgrip 3 to move vertically, moving the clamping ends 5 of the two brackets 1 closer together.

[0035] Furthermore, the hinge structure includes two hinge pieces 4, please refer to... Figure 6One end of each of the two hinge pieces 4 is fixed to one end of the handheld part 3 via a pivot, and the other end is fixedly connected to the hinge seat on the bracket 1.

[0036] Furthermore, the upper end of the handheld part 3 is provided with a piston rod 2, which is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 7.

[0037] Furthermore, when the handheld part 3 moves upward, the hinge piece 4 causes the bracket 1 to move closer to each other, and a closed clamping space for clamping the probe is formed between the two clamping grooves 6.

[0038] First, a pivot is set at one end of the handheld part 3, and one end of each of the two hinge pieces 4 is fixed to this pivot. The other end of the hinge pieces 4 is fixedly connected to the hinge seats on the two supports 1 respectively. This structure forms a stable triangular force-bearing structure, ensuring the stability of the handheld part 3 during movement.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A piston rod 2 is provided at the upper end of the handheld part 3, and this piston rod 2 is connected to the connecting rod 7 through a fixing bracket. The detailed view at point A shows the connection method between the piston rod 2 and the connecting rod 7, namely, a threaded connection. Those skilled in the art can also connect the two in other ways, such as integral molding. The setting of the piston rod 2 provides vertical guidance, making the handheld part 3 more stable when moving up and down, while the fixing bracket ensures the reliability of the connection between the piston rod 2 and the connecting rod 7. When the operator holds the handheld part 3 and moves it upward, the two supports 1 are driven to gradually move towards the middle through the transmission action of the hinge plate 4. This movement eventually causes the clamping grooves 6 at the ends of the supports 1 to move relative to each other, forming a closed clamping space, thereby firmly clamping the probe. This transmission method ensures sufficient clamping force and makes the clamping action smooth and controllable.

[0040] Furthermore, the handheld part 3 is provided with an arc-shaped groove for finger gripping.

[0041] The curved groove is designed to conform to the curvature of the fingers, matching the gripping motion of the human hand. The main function of the groove is to provide a gripping position for the fingers, allowing the operator to hold the handpiece 3 more comfortably and securely. The curved groove conforms to the natural curvature of the hand, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use. Fingers can be more firmly embedded in the groove, reducing the possibility of the handpiece 3 slipping during operation and improving operational precision.

[0042] For further details, please refer to... Figure 1 The clamping end 5 is detachably connected to the bracket 1 by bolts.

[0043] The detachable design allows the clamping end 5 to be adjusted or replaced according to different usage needs, increasing the tool's applicability and flexibility. In this embodiment, the clamping end 5 is provided with a fixing hole 8, so the clamping end 5 can be replaced through this fixing hole 8. Because it is detachable, the clamping end 5 and the bracket 1 can be easily separated during maintenance or repair, facilitating the inspection and replacement of damaged parts. When the clamping end 5 is damaged, only the clamping end 5 needs to be replaced instead of the entire tool, thus saving costs. Those skilled in the art can replace the clamping end 5 as needed, for example, replacing it with a clamping end 5 that only includes one clamping groove 6, or a clamping end 5 with a larger clamping groove 6; this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0044] For further details, please refer to... Figure 2 When the probe is clamped, it is placed between the buffer pads 9 of the two clamping slots 6. At this time, both sides of the probe are in contact with the buffer pads 9, which are used to prevent the probe from being damaged during clamping.

[0045] During clamping, the probe may be subjected to direct pressure from the clamping end. Without the buffer pad 9, this pressure could cause the probe to deform, scratch, or break. The buffer pad 9 absorbs and disperses this pressure, thus protecting the probe from damage. The buffer pad 9 helps ensure that the pressure on the probe is evenly distributed during clamping, which helps improve clamping stability and accuracy. In some operations, the probe may be subjected to vibration. The buffer pad 9 can absorb some of the vibration, reducing its impact on the probe. The addition of the buffer pad 9 allows the clamping end 5 to be fine-tuned according to different probe sizes and shapes to achieve optimal clamping performance. By reducing probe wear and damage, the buffer pad 9 helps extend the probe's lifespan.

[0046] Furthermore, the clamping groove 6 is a semi-circular groove.

[0047] In this embodiment, the semi-circular groove design can well accommodate circular or near-circular probes. Because the curvature of the semi-circular groove matches the curvature of the circular probe, it provides a more uniform and stable clamping force. Simultaneously, the simple structure of the semi-circular groove makes the placement and positioning of the probe more intuitive and convenient. The operator can easily place the probe into the groove and ensure it is in the correct position. Compared to straight grooves or other shaped grooves, the semi-circular groove provides a larger contact area, which helps to disperse the pressure of the probe on the groove, reducing local stress concentration and thus lowering the risk of probe damage. However, those skilled in the art can also choose other shaped grooves, such as U-shaped or rectangular grooves, or replace the groove with one of the same shape depending on the shape of the probe.

[0048] In summary, this embodiment achieves a simple structure and single-handed operation through a V-shaped bracket structure and a reasonable arrangement of the handheld and clamping parts. The through-hole at the top of the bracket, connected by a connecting rod, ensures the stability of the bracket's rotation and ease of assembly and maintenance. The handheld part, parallel to the clamping end and featuring a double-end hinge design, not only makes operation more ergonomic but also achieves stable and reliable clamping action through the transmission combination of the hinge plate and piston rod. Furthermore, the arc-shaped groove for finger gripping improves operational comfort, the detachable clamping end facilitates replacement and maintenance, and the protective function of the buffer pad and the matching design of the semi-circular groove together constitute a probe extraction fixture that is easy to operate, reliable in clamping, and has a long service life.

[0049] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
