Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool technology, and in particular to a pliers tool. Background Technology
[0002] Pliers are a common processing tool in industry and daily life. They come in many varieties and have a wide range of uses, serving as indispensable items in various industrial operations for assembly, repair, and installation. They are hand tools used for clamping, cutting, and fixing workpieces. Due to their working nature, pliers typically have a similar structure, consisting of three parts: the head, the pin, and the handle. The basic working principle of pliers utilizes the lever principle, connecting two levers at a certain point in the middle with a pin, allowing the two ends to move relative to each other. The object can be clamped by manipulating the tail end. Although the working principle and external design of pliers are largely similar, their specific functions vary greatly, with each type having a clear purpose and ingenious design. Based on common functions, pliers can be divided into wire cutters, needle-nose pliers, diagonal pliers, wire strippers, pipe wrenches, and power cutters, among others.
[0003] When operating space is obstructed on both sides and it is necessary to enter laterally into one of the obstructions to clamp an object, the commonly used straight-head pliers are not suitable. Therefore, it is necessary to switch to pliers with angled heads so that the pliers can enter the narrow space. Common pliers can usually adjust the opening size of the jaws to accommodate objects of different sizes, but the tilt angle of the pliers head is usually not adjustable. You can only choose between pliers with straight heads and angled heads, which increases the cost of tools. Utility Model Content

[0040] Working principle:
[0041] The pliers tool of this utility model can adjust the tilt angle of the pliers head, allowing the pliers tool to switch flexibly between straight pliers and angled pliers without affecting the opening and closing of the jaws 3. When using the pliers tool, if it encounters a narrow space and needs to enter the operating position laterally, the angle of the pliers head can be adjusted to be tilted or perpendicular to the pliers handle at 90 degrees, making it easier for the jaws 3 to reach the designated position. When adjusting the angle of the pliers, press down on knob 17 to disengage gear 15 and gear 16, preventing them from transmitting power. Then push pliers 2 to rotate around gear shaft 8. Since pliers 2 and pliers 1 are meshed by teeth, pliers 1 and pliers 2 move together. Gear shaft 7 of pliers 1 slides along guide groove 9. The position of gear shaft 7 in guide groove 9 varies depending on the angle. After adjusting the pliers angle, when the jaws 3 need to open and close to clamp objects, release knob 17. Knob 17 springs back under the action of spring 19, causing gear 15 and gear 16 to re-mesh. At this time, the opening and closing action of pliers handles 5 and 6 will be transmitted to pliers 1 and pliers 2 through gear transmission, thereby controlling the opening and closing action of jaws 3.
[0042] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
