Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soldering iron auxiliary support technology, specifically to an arm that can assist in the vertical use of a soldering iron. Background Technology
[0002] When using a soldering iron to solder screw bases or other similar requirements onto a panel, the soldering iron must be kept absolutely vertical during the soldering process. It is difficult for the worker to maintain this position for an extended period of time by simply holding it by hand.
[0003] Existing vertical booms, such as the vertical brass inlay embedding auxiliary device with application number 202022092199.9, are devices that help workers perform vertical soldering. When a soldering iron is clamped in, the following problems may occur during use:
[0004] 1. The clamps lack hand guards, which could burn workers during use;
[0005] Second, the vertical support structure is relatively thin. During use, the central rod will bend slightly. If it is a screw being tightened, the slight bending under the action of the thread will not affect the use. However, if it is a soldering iron hot melt operation without threads, the verticality will still be greatly affected.
[0006] Third, the working position is greatly affected by the location of the power supply and the length of the power cord, which limits the degree of freedom.
[0007] Fourth, the entire boom moves up and down, which may obstruct the worker's view at a certain angle, increasing the risk of burns. Therefore, some equipment is needed to assist the worker in the operation.
[0008] Given the aforementioned issues, and considering the dangerous high-temperature characteristics of soldering irons, and the fact that auxiliary equipment cannot reduce the risk of burns to workers, there is an urgent need for a boom that can assist in the vertical use of soldering irons to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0009] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desirable to provide a boom that can assist in the vertical use of soldering irons, so as to solve the technical problems of existing soldering iron auxiliary vertical booms, which cannot protect and hold the high-temperature soldering iron, and the boom is inconvenient to move and float vertically as a whole. At the same time, the working position is inconvenient to adjust, which can easily burn the staff and thus affect the normal use of the soldering iron.
[0010] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, a boom that can assist in the vertical use of a soldering iron includes a boom, which is composed of a base, a first rotating arm, a second rotating arm, a clamp, and a flashlight.
[0011] The first rotating arm has a first rotating arm plate connected in a triangular shape to the rotating arm support rod and the central sleeve. The central sleeve is movably mounted on the central rod on the base and rotates along the central rod, thereby adjusting the radial support position of the first rotating arm.
[0012] A spirit level is mounted on the surface of the second rotating arm plate on the second rotating arm and is used to indicate the levelness of the second rotating arm plate.
[0013] The clamp is vertically and movably mounted on the front end of the second rotating arm plate so that each guide post moves vertically along the corresponding second ball bearing, thereby adjusting the vertical direction of the clamped soldering iron. The bottom of the guide post on the clamp is equipped with a soldering iron handle, and the bottom of the soldering iron handle is equipped with a soldering iron hand guard to provide anti-scalding protection.
[0014] Furthermore, the base includes a base plate, several reinforcing ribs, and a central rod. The central rod is vertically installed at the center of the base plate, and the several reinforcing ribs are arranged in a ring at the bottom of the central rod.
[0015] Furthermore, the base plate surface is provided with a power socket and an infrared temperature sensor display.
[0016] Furthermore, a limiting plate is installed on the central rod, and a limiting ring is provided on the limiting plate for limiting the rotation of the central sleeve.
[0017] Furthermore, an infrared temperature sensor and a flashlight clamp are installed on the rotating arm support rod, the flashlight clamp being used to hold and fix the flashlight.
[0018] Furthermore, the front end of the second rotary arm plate is provided with four through holes, and each through hole is equipped with a corresponding guide post.
[0019] Furthermore, a tension spring is installed between the mounting plate at the bottom of the guide column and the second rotary arm plate, and the tension spring is a metal spring.
[0020] Furthermore, the base plate has a circular structure and a power plug is installed on the base plate so that the power plug can be connected to an external power source.
[0021] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0022] 1. Install reinforcing ribs on the base, and install an inclined swivel support rod on the underside of the first swivel plate to ensure that the base and the second swivel for support maintain a stable structure. Add a high-precision bubble level to the second swivel plate so that the bubble level indicates the horizontal state of the support, thereby ensuring that the soldering iron can always operate vertically.
[0023] Second, the overall structure of the boom is set to be relatively high, and the height of the soldering iron is adjusted by the tension spring on the clamp, so as to avoid the first and second rotating arms from obstructing the staff's view due to up and down movement, thereby greatly reducing the risk of staff being burned.
[0024] Third, by installing a soldering iron guard at the bottom of the clamp, the soldering iron guard not only has the dual function of fixing the soldering iron, but also prevents workers from being burned;
[0025] Fourth, power the built-in infrared temperature sensor and power socket of the boom through the boom's power cord. This allows the infrared temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the heating end of the soldering iron, while the power socket can not only power the soldering iron, thus avoiding the limitation of the soldering iron's operating radius due to the length of the power cord, but also power other low-power electrical appliances.
[0026] Fifth, a flashlight clamp that can rotate 360° along the vertical diameter is installed on the support rod of the second rotating arm, and a small flashlight is clamped on the flashlight clamp so that the small flashlight can provide directional lighting for the working environment and avoid burns to the workers due to the dim working environment. At the same time, the infrared temperature sensor can also rotate 360° along the vertical diameter, so that the infrared temperature sensor can measure the temperature of the soldering iron tip of different lengths.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0036] A boom arm that can assist in the vertical use of a soldering iron 6, its structure is as follows: Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a boom, which consists of a base 1, a first rotating arm 2, a second rotating arm 3, a clamp 4, and a flashlight 5.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the base 1 is a circular base plate 101. A central rod 104 is welded to the center of the base plate 101. Around the central rod 104, the base plate 101 has a circular array of reinforcing ribs 103. These ribs stabilize the central rod 104, enhancing its support stability. A limiting ring 105 is mounted on a limiting plate on the central rod 104 and welded to it, thus limiting the rotation of the central sleeve 201 that rotates on the central rod 104. The reinforcing ribs 103 divide the surface of the base 1 into four areas. Each area has a screw hole in the center, allowing the base 1 to be fixed to the tabletop using screws. Meanwhile, three corresponding power sockets 102 and an infrared sensor display 107 are installed in the four areas on the base 1. Each power socket 102 and the infrared sensor display 107 is connected to a power plug 106 via a connecting cable, so that the power plug 106 provides power to the power socket 102, the infrared sensor display 107 and the infrared temperature sensor 205. At the same time, the power socket 102 can also provide power to other low-power electrical appliances.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, a number of first ball bearings 202 are installed inside the central sleeve 201 on the first rotating arm 2, so that after the central sleeve 201 is fitted onto the central rod 104, the central sleeve 201 can rotate along the central rod 104. Two first rotating arm 2 plates 203 arranged side by side along the vertical direction of the central sleeve 201 are welded to the upper front end of the central sleeve 201. An inclined rotating arm support rod is welded to the bottom of the first rotating arm 2 plates 203 and the central sleeve 201, so that the central sleeve 201, the first rotating arm 2 plates 203 and the rotating arm support rod form a triangular support structure, thereby making the second rotating arm 3 maintain a stable support structure.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, an infrared temperature sensor 205 and a flashlight clamp 206, which can rotate 360° along the vertical radial direction, are installed on the rotating arm support. This allows the infrared temperature sensor 205 to be rotated and adjusted to measure the temperature of the soldering iron 6 head of different lengths. The flashlight clamp 206 can be used to install a flashlight 5, and the flashlight clamp 206 can be rotated and adjusted to adjust the illumination position of the flashlight 5, providing a light source for the working environment and preventing workers from being burned due to the dim working environment.
[0040] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second rotating arm plate 301 on the second rotating arm 3 is fixedly installed between the two first rotating arm plates 203. A high-precision level bubble 302 is installed on the second rotating arm plate 301 near the clamp 4 so that the operator can determine the verticality of the soldering iron 6 by observing the position of the level bubble 302, so as to make timely adjustments to the position of the soldering iron 6. The front end of the second rotating arm plate 301 has four through holes, each of which is equipped with a corresponding second ball bearing 303. Each guide post 403 is movably installed in the through hole through the second ball bearing 303, so that the guide post 403 on the clamp 4 can move up and down along the vertical direction of the through hole, thereby adjusting the height of the soldering iron 6 held by the clamp 4.
[0041] like Figure 5As shown, the clamp 4 is a clamp for fixing the soldering iron 6. After the tail end of the soldering iron 6 is placed into the mounting groove on the clamp 4, the screw on the soldering iron hand guard 401 is tightened to fix the soldering iron 6 on the clamp 4. This also prevents the staff from being burned. The soldering iron handle 402 is located between the soldering iron hand guard and the guide post 403 mounting plate. Its surface is heat-insulating, insulating and non-slip. There is a slot in the middle. The end of the slot has an oval hole for the power connection cable of the soldering iron 6 to pass through the oval hole and be plugged into the power socket 102 on the base 1. The several guide posts 403 on the clamp 4 move up and down along the through hole of the second rotating arm plate 301 under the rotation of the second ball bearing 303. When the worker holds the soldering iron and pulls the handle 402 downwards, the tension spring 404, installed between the mounting plate and the second rotating arm plate 301, is stretched, allowing the worker to use the soldering iron 6. When the worker releases their grip, the soldering iron 6 is pulled back to its initial position by the elastic potential energy of the tension spring 404. Furthermore, by designing the clamp 4 to move vertically up and down, the worker's view is prevented from being obstructed by the first rotating arm 2 and the second rotating arm 3, thus greatly reducing the risk of burns.
[0042] The working principle of the arm that assists in the vertical use of a soldering iron 6 according to this utility model is as follows:
[0043] During the process of providing auxiliary support for the soldering iron 6 on the vertical boom, the operator places the base 1 on the flat operating platform surface and tightens the fixing screws to fix the base 1 to the operating platform surface. At the same time, the operator observes whether the level bubble 302 on the second rotating arm 3 is in the center position, thereby adjusting the vertical support of the boom. The operator inserts the handle of the soldering iron 6 into the soldering iron handle 402 and fixes the soldering iron 6 to the bottom of the clamp 4 through the soldering iron guard 401 installed at the bottom of the soldering iron handle 402. The power connection cable of the soldering iron 6 is then passed through the oval hole at the end of the soldering iron handle 402 and inserted into the power socket 102 on the boom base 1. The operator tries to operate the soldering iron 6 to confirm that during the movement, the first rotating arm 2 on the boom can rotate smoothly horizontally, and the guide post 403 of the clamp 4 can move up and down vertically without obvious resistance. Then, the infrared thermometer is activated to monitor the temperature of the soldering iron 6 head. After the temperature is reached, the operator begins to use the soldering iron 6.
[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles and solutions employed. Furthermore, the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the specific combination of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
