Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pin insertion and removal tools, specifically, to a pin insertion and removal tool. Background Technology

[0002] In the daily work of civil aircraft maintenance, wiring modification is frequently encountered. Modifying the existing wiring of an aircraft inevitably involves adding or removing wires from the existing complex wiring. Due to the complexity of aircraft wiring and the harshness of the actual working environment, the rear panel of the electronic computer usually has more than 100 wires, densely bundled together.

[0003] The rear panel has multiple holes, each containing a metal spring to hold the pin boss. Therefore, a pin insertion and removal tool can be used to insert and remove the pin. Current tools connect two pins of different specifications via a connecting piece in the middle, meaning one tool can insert and remove pins of two different specifications. However, in the usage environment, multiple wires are bundled together, the wire numbers are very dense, and the operating space is small. Even if the connecting piece is connected to both ends, its overall length is limited. If the operator holds the tool and reaches into the limited space of the wire bundle, their hand will obstruct their view, leading to insertion and removal errors. Therefore, a new pin insertion and removal tool needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the issue in the prior art where the short tool requires the operator to reach into the limited space for operation, which easily leads to insertion and removal errors.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a pin insertion and removal tool, comprising: an insertion / removal component and an extension mechanism detachably connected to the insertion / removal component via a connecting piece, wherein the extension mechanism includes a rod-shaped component detachably connected to the insertion / removal component.

[0006] Preferably, the extension mechanism further includes a battery assembled inside the rod and a lighting lamp assembled outside the rod and connected to the battery.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the rod-shaped member is provided with a first connecting part that can be detachably connected to the connecting piece, and the other end of the rod-shaped member is a detachable end cap.

[0008] Preferably, the rod-shaped member is provided with a charging interface for connection to the battery.

[0009] Preferably, the lighting lamp is a ring lamp fixedly mounted on a rod-shaped member.

[0010] Preferably, a through groove communicating with the other end is provided on one end of the plug-in component, and a first notch communicating with the through groove is provided on the outer wall of the plug-in component.

[0011] Preferably, the insertion / removal member includes a tip, a tapered portion fixedly connected to the tip along the same axis, and a second connecting portion fixedly connected to the end of the tapered portion away from the tip and detachably connected to the connecting piece.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting piece includes a cylindrical portion with both ends that can be inserted into the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion respectively, and a flange portion disposed in the middle of the cylindrical portion;

[0013] The first connecting part is recessed with a groove that matches the end of the cylindrical part. The diameter of the cylindrical part is larger than the diameter of the end of the groove and the diameter of the end of the through groove on the second connecting part.

[0014] Preferably, the cylindrical portion has a positioning piece protruding from its middle length direction, one end of which can be inserted into the first notch, and the outer wall of the first connecting portion has a second notch that communicates with the groove and matches the positioning piece.

[0015] Preferably, the positioning piece has anti-slip texture on the side away from the cylindrical part.

[0016] According to the above technical solution, the pin insertion and removal tool provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects in use:

[0017] Firstly, the connection between the rod-shaped component and the connecting piece increases the overall length of the tool, making it easier for operators to use and enabling the insertion and removal of pins within a limited space, thus improving work efficiency.

[0018] Secondly, the rod-shaped component can be connected to the existing connecting piece and used directly with the existing plug-in component.

[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0030] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" included in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its conventional use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term.

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a pin insertion and removal tool includes: an insertion / removal component 1 and an extension mechanism detachably connected to the insertion / removal component 1 via a connecting piece 2, wherein the extension mechanism includes a rod-shaped component 3 detachably connected to the insertion / removal component.

[0032] In the above technical solution, the rod-shaped member 3 is connected to the connecting piece 2, which can increase the overall length of the tool, making it convenient for operators to use. It can complete the insertion and removal of the pin in a limited space, thus improving work efficiency.

[0033] The rod-shaped member 3 can be connected to the existing connecting piece 2 and used directly with the existing plug-in member 1. Users only need to purchase the extension mechanism, which can avoid repeatedly purchasing the plug-in member 1 and the connecting piece 2, thus reducing procurement costs.

[0034] The extension mechanism can also be configured with multiple length specifications to allow for replacement of the extension mechanism according to different usage environments, thereby enabling the replacement of pins in complex and ever-changing environments.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the extension mechanism further includes a battery assembled inside the rod-shaped member 3 and a lighting lamp 4 assembled outside the rod-shaped member 3 and connected to the battery.

[0036] In the above technical solution, the rod-shaped part 3 not only protects the battery but also serves as a handle, making it convenient for the operator to hold the tool. When inserting or removing the pins, the light 4 illuminates the surrounding area, allowing the operator to observe the number and remove the corresponding pin, thus avoiding the problem of removing the wrong one. At the same time, when inserting the pins, it is also convenient to observe the specific insertion hole on the rear panel, avoiding the problem of inserting the wrong hole. The light 4 can improve the user's visibility, reduce the error rate of pin insertion and removal, and improve work efficiency.

[0037] A control switch is provided on the circuit connecting the battery and the lighting lamp 4 to control the lighting lamp 4 to turn it on and off.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the rod-shaped member 3 is provided with a first connecting part 5 that can be detachably connected to the connecting piece 2, and the other end of the rod-shaped member 3 is a detachable end cap 6.

[0039] In the above technical solution, when the battery is a button cell or a commonly used replaceable battery, the end cap 6 can be removed to replace the battery inside the rod-shaped member 3.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rod-shaped member 3 is provided with a charging interface 7 that is connected to the battery.

[0041] In the above technical solution, when the battery is a rechargeable battery, it can be charged through the charging interface 7 after use.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lighting lamp 4 is a ring lamp fixedly mounted on the rod-shaped member 3.

[0043] In the above technical solution, the ring light is set on the outside of the rod-shaped member 3, which can illuminate the surrounding area from 360 degrees around the rod-shaped member 3, with a large illumination area and strong practicality.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a through groove 8 communicating with the other end is provided on one end of the plug-in member 1, and a first notch 9 communicating with the through groove 8 is provided on the outer wall of the plug-in member 1.

[0045] In the above technical solution, when in use, the part of the pin that is connected to the wire can be inserted into the through groove 8. After the wire enters the through groove 8, it can be led out from the first notch 9. The protrusion on the pin can abut against the end of the plug-in part 1.

[0046] When inserting the pin, the part of the pin that is connected to the wire can be inserted into the through slot 8, so it is easy for the operator to control the direction of the pin by using the plug-in part 1. It is also easy to apply a pushing force to the pin and insert it into the socket on the rear panel. Then, the plug-in part 1 is pulled out from the socket on the rear panel, and the metal card in the socket can hold the protrusion on the pin.

[0047] When it is necessary to remove the pin, the wire is moved into the through groove 8 through the first notch 9. The end of the through groove 8 can then be placed on the part where the pin and the wire are connected, until the end of the plug-in 1 abuts against the protrusion of the pin. At this time, the plug-in 1 can open the metal card in the socket of the rear panel, hold the wire on the pin and move the plug-in 1 outward together, so that the protrusion on the pin is always in contact with the end of the plug-in 1, and the pin can be pulled out from the socket on the rear panel.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plug-in member 1 includes a tip portion 10, a conical portion 11 fixedly connected to the tip portion 10 along the same axis, and a second connecting portion 12 fixedly connected to the end of the conical portion 11 away from the tip portion 10 and detachably connected to the connecting piece 2.

[0049] In the above technical solution, the tip 10 is used to insert into the socket in the rear panel, the second connecting part 12 is connected to the connecting piece 2, and the tapered part 11 is used to connect the tip 10 and the second connecting part 12.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting piece 2 includes a cylindrical portion 13 with both ends capable of being inserted into the first connecting portion 5 and the second connecting portion 12 respectively, and a flange portion 14 disposed in the middle of the cylindrical portion 13.

[0051] The first connecting part 5 is recessed with a groove 15 that matches the end of the cylindrical part 13. The diameter of the cylindrical part 13 is larger than the diameter of the end of the groove 15 and the diameter of the end of the through groove 8 located on the second connecting part 12.

[0052] In the above technical solution, one end of the cylindrical part 13 is inserted into the end of the through groove 8 located on the second connecting part 12. Since the diameter of the cylindrical part 13 is larger than the diameter of the end of the through groove 8, the cylindrical part 13 will open the first notch 9. The pressure exerted on the cylindrical part 13 by the inner wall of the through groove 8 will connect the cylindrical part 13 with the plug-in part 1.

[0053] The flange 14 separates the first connecting part 5 and the second connecting part 12, making it easier to remove the first connecting part 5 or the second connecting part 12 from the cylindrical part 13. At the same time, the flange 14 also limits the depth of the cylindrical part 13 inserted into the first connecting part 5 and the second connecting part 12, avoiding the problem of weak connection caused by shallow insertion at one end.

[0054] The diameter of the cylindrical part 13 is larger than the diameter of the end of the groove 15. When the end of the cylindrical part 13 is inserted into the groove 15 of the first connecting part 5, the pressure generated by the inner wall of the groove 15 connects the two together.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a positioning piece 16 protrudes from the middle of the cylindrical portion 13 along its length direction, one end of which can be inserted into the first notch portion 9, and a second notch portion 17 is provided on the outer wall of the first connecting portion 5, which communicates with the groove 15 and matches the positioning piece 16.

[0056] In the above technical solution, the two ends of the positioning piece 16 can be inserted into the first notch 9 and the second notch 17 respectively. The positioning piece 16 can prevent the second connecting part 12 and the first connecting part 5 from rotating relative to the cylindrical part 13. Furthermore, the setting of the second notch 17 allows the inner wall of the groove 15 to have a certain deformation capability, thus avoiding irreversible damage when the cylindrical part 13 is inserted into the groove 15.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the positioning piece 16 is provided with anti-slip texture 18 on the side away from the cylindrical part 13.

[0058] In the above technical solution, when replacing the plug-in part 1 or the lighting device, the anti-slip texture 18 can improve the operator's control over the connecting piece 2. The operator can hold the connecting piece 2 with one hand and pull the plug-in part 1 or the rod-shaped part 3 with the other hand, which makes it easier for the operator to separate the connecting piece 2 from the plug-in part 1 or the rod-shaped part 3.

[0059] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0060] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0061] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
