Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of locomotive maintenance technology; more specifically, it relates to a quick-release and assembly tool for button caps. Background Technology
[0002] When maintaining locomotives and rolling stock, safety should be the primary consideration. Regular inspections can prevent malfunctions and avoid accidents, ensuring the reliability of vehicle operation. If a locomotive malfunctions, it may cause delays. Moreover, regular maintenance is more economical than repairing after a malfunction. Button caps are frequently touched by drivers or staff and are prone to wear and tear or aging. If a button cap is damaged, it may cause insensitive operation or even accidental activation, affecting driving safety. In addition, if a button cap is loose or falls off, foreign objects may enter, causing internal circuit problems.
[0003] Currently, most button caps in existing technology are connected to the button base via threads. They can usually be disassembled or installed by hand by rotating them. However, some buttons may be located in narrow corners, and some buttons may also have protective covers on the outside. This may obstruct the space around the button cap, making it difficult for workers to fully grasp the edge of the button cap and exert force when rotating it. This makes it inconvenient for workers to quickly disassemble or install the button cap. In addition, the threaded connection between some aging button caps and the button base may be rusted. In this case, it may be difficult for workers to unscrew it by hand, and it may cause some pain to their hands, which may delay the maintenance process. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a button cap quick disassembly and assembly combination tool to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a quick assembly and disassembly tool for button caps to solve the problems existing in the background art.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a quick-release and assembly tool for button caps, comprising:
[0006] The handle has a support plate fixedly connected to its lower end, and reinforcing plates are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both sides of the support plate. The lower ends of the two sets of reinforcing plates are fixedly connected to a fixing plate. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the middle position of one side surface of the fixing plate, and the thickness of the fixing plate is 4mm. The setting of the two sets of reinforcing plates can improve the structural strength between the support plate and the fixing plate, thereby improving the overall stability of the equipment.
[0007] Preferably, a first clamping plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing plate, and an anti-slip pad is provided on one side of the surface of the first clamping plate. The anti-slip pad is made of rubber and has anti-slip textures on its surface. The rubber surface has a high coefficient of friction and is relatively soft, which can minimize scratches on the outer surface of the button cap. The anti-slip textures can increase the roughness of the contact surface between the first clamping plate and the button cap, thereby further improving the coefficient of friction.
[0008] Preferably, both ends of one side surface of the fixing plate are fixedly connected to limit rods, and one end of each set of limit rods is fixedly connected to a limit block, wherein the diameter of the two sets of limit blocks is larger than the diameter of the two sets of limit rods.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting plate is fitted on the outer surface of one end of each of the two sets of limiting rods, and the thickness of the connecting plate is 4mm. One end of each of the two sets of limiting blocks abuts against the two ends of one side surface of the connecting plate. The connecting plate can move on the outer surface of the two sets of limiting rods without shaking or rotating during movement, and can only move in a straight line. The setting of the two sets of limiting blocks can prevent the connecting plate from detaching from the outer surface of the two sets of limiting rods.
[0010] Preferably, a second clamping plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate, and an anti-slip pad is provided on one side of the surface of the second clamping plate. The anti-slip pad is made of rubber, which has a high coefficient of friction and is relatively soft, so as to minimize scratches on the outer surface of the button cap. Furthermore, the anti-slip texture can increase the roughness of the contact surface between the second clamping plate and the button cap, thereby further improving the coefficient of friction.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the lead screw is provided with a connecting plate, and a wing nut is threaded onto the outer surface of one end of the lead screw. The operator can rotate the wing nut by hand, and the wing nut can move on the outer surface of the lead screw when rotating.
[0012] Preferably, the outer diameter of the lead screw is smaller than the inner diameter of the middle position of the connecting plate, and the surface of one end of the wing nut is in contact with the middle position of one side surface of the connecting plate. When the wing nut moves on the outer surface of the lead screw, it can abut against the connecting plate to move, and can restrict the position of the connecting plate and the second clamping plate.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model can move the connecting plate and the second clamping plate by rotating the wing nut. At this time, the surface of the opposite side of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate can clamp the outer surface of the button cap. Then, the operator can rotate the whole device by holding the handle. This design allows the device to clamp the button that is difficult to hold with the hand, making it easier for the operator to disassemble and assemble the button cap, thereby minimizing the possibility of delays in maintenance.
[0014] By setting rubber anti-slip pads on the surfaces of the first and second clamping plates on opposite sides, the high friction of the anti-slip pads improves the stability of the button cap during clamping. Furthermore, the elasticity of the anti-slip pads minimizes scratches on the outer surface of the button cap. This design allows workers to easily apply torque to the button cap with the help of the equipment, effectively protecting their hands. Moreover, its overall structure is simple and reasonable, highly practical, and easy to promote and apply. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The quick assembly and disassembly tool for button caps involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a quick assembly and disassembly tool for button caps, including: a handle 1, a support plate 2 fixedly connected to the lower end of the handle 1, and reinforcing plates 3 fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both sides of the support plate 2, with fixing plates 4 fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two sets of reinforcing plates 3, a lead screw 10 fixedly connected to the middle position of one side surface of the fixing plate 4, and the thickness of the fixing plate 4 is 4mm, a first clamping plate 5 fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing plate 4, and an anti-slip pad made of rubber provided on one side surface of the first clamping plate 5, with limiting rods 6 fixedly connected to both ends of one side surface of the fixing plate 4, and limiting blocks 7 fixedly connected to one end of each of the two sets of limiting rods 6, with the outer surface of one end of each set of limiting rods 6... The upper part is fitted with a connecting plate 8, and the thickness of the connecting plate 8 is 4mm. One end of each of the two sets of limiting blocks 7 abuts against the two ends of one side surface of the connecting plate 8. The setting of the two sets of reinforcing plates 3 can improve the structural strength between the support plate 2 and the fixed plate 4, and can effectively improve the torsional strength of the support plate 2, thereby improving the overall stability of the equipment. The surface of the anti-slip pad is also provided with anti-slip texture. The connecting plate 8 can move on the outer surface of the two sets of limiting rods 6, and will not shake or rotate during the movement. It can only move in a straight line. The setting of the two sets of limiting blocks 7 can prevent the connecting plate 8 from detaching from the outer surface of the two sets of limiting rods 6. This design can improve the overall stability of the equipment during use.
[0023] Example 2
[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment also proposes: a second clamping plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 8, and an anti-slip pad is provided on one side surface of the second clamping plate 9, the anti-slip pad being made of rubber; a connecting plate 8 is provided at one end of the lead screw 10, and a wing nut 11 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the lead screw 10; the outer diameter of the lead screw 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the middle position of the connecting plate 8; the surface of one end of the wing nut 11 fits against the middle position of one side surface of the connecting plate 8; the width of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 9 is smaller than the size of an adult's hand, therefore the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 9 can be easily inserted into areas that are difficult for the worker's hand to access; the worker can rotate the wing nut 11 by hand, and the wing nut 11 can rotate on the lead screw 10. The wing nut 11 moves on the outer surface of the screw 10, and when it moves on the outer surface of the screw 10, it can abut against the connecting plate 8 and move, and can restrict the position of the connecting plate 8 and the second clamping plate 9. When the surfaces of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 9 on opposite sides are in contact with the outer surface of the button cap, they can be clamped. Since the rubber surface has a high coefficient of friction and is relatively soft, it can avoid scratches caused by the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 9 clamping the outer surface of the button cap as much as possible. In addition, the anti-slip texture can increase the roughness of the contact surface between the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 9 and the button cap, thereby further improving the coefficient of friction. This design allows the operator to apply torque to the button cap more conveniently with the help of the equipment, thereby effectively protecting the operator's hands.
[0025] Working principle: When using the equipment, firstly, the surface of one side of the first clamping plate 5 is attached to the outer surface of the button cap. Then, the wing nut 11 is rotated to move the connecting plate 8 and the second clamping plate 9. Then, the surfaces of the opposite sides of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 9 are attached to the outer surface of the button cap and clamped. Then, the operator holds the handle 1 and applies force to rotate the entire equipment connected to the button cap. At this time, the button cap can be removed from the button base. The above is the complete working principle of this practical device.
[0026] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
