[0039] A rivet removal tool includes a mounting base 1, a first cutter 2, a second cutter 3, and a pushing mechanism;

[0040] The mounting base 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11;

[0041] The mounting groove 11 extends from top to bottom through the mounting base 1 and extends in the front-to-back direction; the second cutter 3 is mounted on the front groove wall of the mounting groove 11, and the rear end of the first cutter 2 is connected to the pushing mechanism mounted on the rear groove wall of the mounting groove 11. The cutting edge of the second cutter 3 and the cutting edge of the first cutter 2 are opposite each other front to back, and the pushing mechanism pushes the first cutter 2 to move back and forth along the mounting groove 11.

[0042] The cutting edge of the second cutting tool 3 and the cutting edge of the first cutting tool 2 are respectively used to cut the rivet head 8 of the rivet 9 to be removed.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of a rivet removal tool according to the present invention. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the rivet removal tool of this utility model used to remove the rivets 9 of the two main beams 7 that fix the photovoltaic bracket.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 The present invention discloses a rivet removal tool. The rivet head 8, which fixes the rivet 9 to be removed, is placed in the mounting groove 11 and abuts against the blade of the second cutter 3. Then, the first cutter 2 is pushed towards the second cutter 3 by the pushing mechanism, so that the blade of the first cutter 2 moves along the mounting groove 11 toward the blade of the second cutter 3, so that the two blades cut the rivet head 8 respectively and crack the rivet head 8, thereby allowing the rivet 9 to be removed to fall off the two main beams 7, thus completing the removal of one rivet 9.

[0045] In practice, the first cutter 2 can be pushed along the mounting groove 11 towards the second cutter 3 using manual or electric tools.

[0046] Specifically, the pushing mechanism is a pushing screw 6, and the mounting base 1 is provided with a first threaded through hole 12 and a first mounting hole 13;

[0047] The first mounting hole 13 is recessed forward into the front groove wall of the mounting groove 11, and the front end of the second tool 3 is inserted into the first mounting hole 13;

[0048] The first threaded through hole 12 extends from front to back through the rear wall of the mounting groove 11. The inner wall of the first threaded through hole 12 is provided with internal threads. The push screw 6 is installed in the first threaded through hole 12. The front end of the push screw 6 extends into the mounting groove 11. The rear end of the first cutter 2 is movably inserted into the front end of the push screw 6.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a manual tool or electric socket is used to rotate the push screw 6, causing the push screw 6 to push the first cutter 2 forward along the mounting groove 11 and cut the rivet head 8. After cutting one rivet head 8, the push screw 6 is rotated in the opposite direction by the manual tool or electric socket, causing the push screw 6 to move backward along the first threaded through hole 12. Then, the rivet removal tool is lifted upward, and the second cutter 3 is positioned above the first cutter 2. The rivet removal tool is shaken, which allows the first cutter 2 to slide down along the mounting groove 11 and reset. After that, the second rivet 9 can be removed.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes a handle 5; the mounting base 1 is also provided with a second mounting hole 14;

[0051] The second mounting hole 14 extends from top to bottom through the front groove wall of the mounting groove 11, and the lower end of the handle 5 is inserted into the second mounting hole 14.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when using the rivet removal tool, one hand can be used to grasp the handle 5, which improves the ease of operation of using or lifting the rivet removal tool.

[0053] Furthermore, it also includes two limiting plates 4;

[0054] The two limiting plates 4 are spaced apart to the left and right, and the two limiting plates 4 are respectively installed on the left and right groove walls of the mounting groove 11;

[0055] The front and rear sides of the limiting plate 4 are respectively used to abut against the second cutter 3 and the first cutter 2;

[0056] The blade of the second cutter 3 extends rearward and is located between the two limiting plates 4, while the blade of the first cutter 2 extends forward and is located between the two limiting plates 4.

[0057] The two opposing surfaces of the two limiting plates 4 are used to abut against the outer peripheral surface of the rivet cap 8 to be cut.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the rivet cap 8 can be clamped by the two limiting plates 4, and the blades of the first cutter 2 and the second cutter 3 can be prevented from colliding.

[0059] Furthermore, the limiting plate 4 is provided with two protrusions 41, and the groove wall of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a corresponding protrusion receiving groove 111;

[0060] The two protrusions 41 protrude from the left and right sides of the limiting plate 4, respectively. One of the protrusions 41 is housed in the protrusion receiving groove 111, and the other protrusion 41 is used to abut against the outer peripheral surface of the rivet cap 8 to be cut.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting plate 4 with two protrusions 41 has better positioning and installation convenience.

[0062] Furthermore, it also includes at least one limiting screw 10; the push screw 6 is provided with a connecting rod storage groove 61 and at least one locking screw hole 62;

[0063] The first cutter 2 has a connecting rod 21 at its rear end. The connecting rod 21 extends rearward and has a limiting ring 211 at its middle part. The limiting ring 211 surrounds and is recessed in the outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod 21.

[0064] The connecting rod storage groove 61 extends from the front end of the push screw 6 to the interior of the push screw 6 along the axis, and the locking screw hole 62 passes through the outer peripheral surface of the push screw 6 and communicates with the connecting rod storage groove 61;

[0065] The connecting rod storage slot 61 is used to place the connecting rod 21, and the limiting screw 10 is installed in the locking screw hole 62 to prevent the connecting rod 21 located in the connecting rod storage slot 61 from falling forward.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting rod 21 of the first cutter 2 is inserted into the connecting rod storage groove 61, and the limiting screw 10 is installed in the corresponding locking screw hole 62, so that the first cutter 2 is connected to the push screw 6 without loosening, and the first cutter 2 has the characteristic of moving back and forth with the push screw 6.

[0067] After cutting a rivet head 8, the screw 6 can be pushed in the opposite direction by a manual tool or an electric sleeve, so that the screw 6 moves backward along the first threaded through hole 12 and drives the first cutter 2 to move backward along the mounting groove 11 and reset, thereby improving the ease of operation of the rivet removal tool.

[0068] Preferably, the distance between the two limiting plates 4 is adjustable.

[0069] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, two second threaded through holes 15 can be opened on the left or right side of the mounting groove 11, and then the limiting plate 4 can be fixed to the left or right side of the mounting groove 11 by passing the adjusting screw 16 through the corresponding second threaded through hole 15. The distance between the two limiting plates 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting screw 16 to accommodate the cutting of rivet heads 8 of different diameters.

[0070] In summary, such as Figure 1-5 The embodiment of the present invention shown includes a rivet removal tool comprising a first cutter 2 and a second cutter 3 installed in the mounting groove 11. The first cutter 2 and the second cutter 3 can cut the rivet head 9 in the mounting groove 11. The tool has the advantages of simple structure and easy portability, which helps to improve the work efficiency of disassembling photovoltaic bracket components.

[0071] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
