Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a convenient eel-slicing clip, including a first support tube 5 and a second support tube 9, wherein the first support tube 5 is located below the second support tube 9 and their axes are parallel. A support sleeve 6 parallel to the first support tube 5 is provided at the top of the first support tube 5. During installation, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second support tube 9 is movably placed inside the support sleeve 6, so that the second support tube 9 can freely extend and retract within the support sleeve 6, thereby changing the effective length of the first support tube 5 and the second support tube 9.

[0021] After the effective length between the first support tube 5 and the second support tube 9 is adjusted, they need to be fixed. Therefore, a fastening device is provided at the top of the support sleeve 6 to adjust the second support tube 9 to a preset length. The fastening device includes a second annular seat 11 coaxially set at the top. Both the second annular seat 11 and the top of the support sleeve 6 have openings. A quick-release tube clamp is provided inside the second annular seat 11. It should be noted that the opening here is for the top of the support sleeve 6 to retract. That is, when the quick-release tube clamp is tightened, the quick-release tube clamp will drive the opening to retract inward, so that the top of the support sleeve 6 tightly hugs the second support tube 9, thereby fixing the first support tube 5 and the second support tube 9 together.

[0022] Immediately afterwards, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a pull tube 7 is movably installed inside the first support tube 5. The bottom of the pull tube 7 is connected to a clamp located at the bottom of the first support tube 5. This clamp closes when the pull tube 7 is lifted and opens when the pull tube 7 is lowered. Figure 1 As shown, the top of the pull tube 7 extends outside the first support tube 5, and an adjusting rod 8 is movably installed inside the pull tube 7. Since the positions of the first support tube 5 and the second support tube 9 are staggered, the adjusting rod 8 is located on the side of the second support tube 9.

[0023] Similar to the second support tube 9 which extends and retracts in the support sleeve 6, the adjustable rod 8 can also extend and retract within the pull tube 7. After the effective lengths of the adjustable rod 8 and the pull tube 7 are adjusted, they need to be fixed together. Therefore, a locking device is provided at the top of the pull tube 7 to adjust the adjustable rod 8 to a preset length. The locking device includes a first annular seat 17 coaxially set at the top of the pull tube 7. Both the first annular seat 17 and the top of the pull tube 7 have openings. A quick-release tube clamp is provided inside the first annular seat 17. It should be noted that the opening here is for the top of the pull tube 7 to retract. That is, when the quick-release tube clamp is tightened, the quick-release tube clamp will drive the opening to retract inward, so that the top of the pull tube 7 tightly hugs the adjustable rod 8, thereby fixing the adjustable rod 8 and the pull tube 7 together.

[0024] It should be further explained that quick-release pipe clamps are respectively provided in the first annular seat 17 and the second annular seat 11. The quick-release pipe clamps can not only be firmly fastened, but also be easy to open and close. The two quick-release pipe clamps should be opened or closed at the same time during use. When the quick-release pipe clamps are opened, the second support pipe 9 can extend and retract within the support sleeve 6, and the adjusting rod 8 can extend and retract within the pulling pipe 7. Therefore, the eel clamp proposed in this application can change its length at any time. It can be extended or shortened. When the eel clamp is shortened as a whole, it can be easily stored.

[0025] Furthermore, the top of the adjusting rod 8 is connected to the gripping mechanism, which includes a strip seat 18 set on the top of the second support tube 9, a handle 12 vertically mounted on the top of the strip seat 18, and an adjusting groove 13 provided in the middle of the strip seat 18.

[0026] A handle 10 is provided below the grip 12. One end of the handle 10 is slidably installed in the adjustment groove 13, and the top of the adjustment rod 8 is connected to the end of the handle 10. Specifically, there are sliding grooves 19 on both sides of the end of the handle 10 near the adjustment groove 13, so that the strip seats 18 on both sides of the adjustment groove 13 are placed in the sliding grooves 19. This allows the handle 10 to slide stably up and down along the adjustment groove 13. The specific operation process is as follows: When using, the operator holds the grip 12 and hooks the handle 10 with the index, middle and ring fingers, and lifts the handle 10. At this time, the handle 10 will drive the adjustment rod 8 to lift, and then the adjustment rod 8 will drive the pull tube 7 to move upward, thereby lifting the pull tube 7 in the first support tube 5, so that the pull tube drives the clamp to close or open.

[0027] Based on the above embodiments, a specific structure for the clip is also proposed, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the clamp includes a connecting tube 4, which is connected to the bottom of the first support tube 5. The two are fixed by welding or riveting. The bottom of the pulling tube 7 extends into the connecting tube 4, and a return spring 14 is sleeved on the pulling tube 7 inside the connecting tube 4. A support plate 15 is provided at the bottom of the pulling tube 7. The two ends of the return spring 14 are in elastic contact with the bottom of the first support tube 5 and the support plate 15, respectively.

[0028] The bottom of the connecting pipe 4 is provided with a support 3, and the support 3 is provided with an installation cavity 2. Support arms 16 are provided on both sides of the installation cavity 2. The support arms 16 are rotatably connected to the support 3. The end of the support arm 16 near the support plate 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the pulling pipe 7. The ends of the two support arms 16 that are far apart from each other extend to the outside of the installation cavity 2. A gripper 1 is provided on the end of the two support arms 16.

[0029] The specific movement process is as follows: under the action of the return spring 14, the pulling tube 7 is always in a tendency to move up and down, causing the bottom of the pulling tube 7 to drive the two support arms 16 as follows. Figure 3 The same opening causes the two grippers 1 to open. When the handle 10 is lifted, the handle 10 drives the bottom of the pull tube 7 to rise, causing the two support arms 16 to open as shown. Figure 4 The same closure causes the two grippers 1 to close. The two grippers 1 are used to grip the eel. In order to prevent the eel from slipping, anti-slip teeth are provided on the opposing surfaces of the two grippers 1.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
