Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of industrial packaging opening tools, and more specifically, to bottle openers. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial pharmaceutical containers, commonly used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, are widely employed for the packaging and transportation of liquid or solid pharmaceuticals. To ensure the airtightness and safety of these containers during storage and transportation, their sealing structures typically employ large-sized caps (generally over 60 mm in diameter) and achieve a tight seal through interference fits or high-strength threaded connections. While this sealing design ensures leak-proof performance, it also significantly increases the physical resistance required for manual opening. Operators must overcome the static friction generated by the interference fit or the thread preload, and the cap surface, often made of polished metal or high-density plastic, further reduces the effective gripping force during manual operation due to its low coefficient of friction. In actual work scenarios, opening failures due to insufficient force or slippage frequently occur, not only reducing work efficiency but also potentially causing occupational injuries such as muscle strains or skin abrasions due to sudden slippage. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a bottle opener that reduces the difficulty of twisting the bottle cap.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bottle opener, comprising: Mounting housing; A handle, which is fixedly connected to the mounting housing; A rotating shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting housing; A hinge seat, which is mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft; The chuck includes a drive handle and a clamping plate.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0022] Embodiments of this application provide a bottle opener, including a mounting housing 100, a handle 200, a pivot 300, a hinge base 310, and a chuck 400.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the handle 200 is fixedly connected to the mounting housing 100, and the fixing method is, for example, welding, snap-fitting or threaded connection.
[0024] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting shell 100 is a circular shell.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating shaft 300 is rotatably mounted on the mounting housing 100, and the rotating shaft 300 is rotatable relative to the mounting housing 100.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the hinge seat 310 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 300 by means of welding or snap-fitting.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the chuck 400 includes a drive handle 410 and a clamping plate 420. One end of the drive handle 410 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the mounting housing 100 and is fitted with the clamping plate 420. The other end of the drive handle 410 is hinged to the hinge seat 310.
[0028] The number of claws 400 is at least two, and the number of hinge seats 310 is at least two accordingly.
[0029] For example, two claws 400 are provided, equidistantly distributed around the circumference of the mounting housing 100, and two hinge seats 310 are provided accordingly. In another embodiment, three claws 400 are provided, equidistantly distributed around the circumference of the mounting housing 100, and three hinge seats 310 are provided accordingly. Of course, in other embodiments, other numbers of claws 400 and hinge seats 310 may be provided, such as four, five, or six.
[0030] For example, in the length direction of the mounting housing 100, one end of the clamping plate 420 protrudes beyond one end of the mounting housing 100 so that the clamping plate 420 can clamp the bottle cap 600.
[0031] Assuming three chucks 400 and hinge seats 310 are provided, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotation of the shaft 300 drives the three hinge seats 310 to rotate. The shaft 300 can be manually driven or driven by a motor. The rotation of the hinge seats 310 drives the corresponding transmission handles 410 to move. The movement of the transmission handles 410 drives the corresponding clamping plates 420 to move closer to the mounting housing 100, so that the three clamping plates 420 fix and clamp the bottle cap 600. Then, the handle 200 is rotated, which drives the mounting housing 100 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting housing 100 drives the clamping plates 420 to rotate through the shaft 300, hinge seats 310 and transmission handles 410. The clamping plates 420 drive the bottle cap 600 to rotate, so as to loosen the bottle cap 600. Of course, the bottle opener provided in the embodiments of this application can not only be used to rotate the bottle cap 600, but can also be applied to other fields, such as rotating nuts.
[0032] In this application, the claw 400 can be adapted to bottle caps 600 with different outer diameters via the rotating shaft 300, and the handle 200 can reduce the difficulty of rotating the bottle cap 600 through the lever principle.
[0033] The handle 200 reduces the difficulty of turning the bottle cap 600 by utilizing the lever principle. The operator simply needs to turn the handle 200, using the lever effect to easily rotate the mounting housing 100. This, in turn, through a series of transmission components, causes the clamping plate 420 to rotate the bottle cap 600, thus loosening it. Compared to manual opening, this significantly saves time and effort, improves work efficiency, and is especially suitable for work scenarios requiring frequent opening of industrial medicine containers.
[0034] To adapt the clamping plate 420 to bottle caps 600 with different curvatures on their outer walls, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping plate 420 is hinged to the other end of the transmission handle 410, and the clamping plate 420 can rotate at a certain angle relative to the end of the transmission handle 410, so that the clamping plate 420 can better adapt to the bottle cap 600 with its curved outer wall.
[0035] To make the clamping plate 420 fit the bottle cap 600 more closely, such as Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping plate 420 is an arc-shaped plate.
[0036] For example, in one embodiment, the clamping plate 420 is forged from 45 steel with a thickness of 5 mm.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a sliding groove 411 is provided on the handle of the transmission handle 410, and the sliding groove 411 is a through groove.
[0038] The mounting housing 100 is provided with a mating port 110 for accommodating the transmission handle 410, and a mating post 130 is provided at the mating port 110 of the mounting housing 100 to slide in the sliding groove 411. The mating post 130 passes through the sliding groove 411 of the transmission handle 410.
[0039] The mating post 130 slides into the inner wall of the sliding groove 411, so that the end of the transmission handle 410 is always kept at the mating opening 110 of the mounting shell 100.
[0040] To drive the rotating shaft 300 to rotate, such as Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a turbine 500 is coaxially fixed on the rotating shaft 300, and the rotation of the turbine 500 drives the rotating shaft 300 to rotate.
[0041] A worm gear 510 that meshes with a turbine 500 is rotatably mounted on the mounting housing 100. The rotation of the worm gear 510 drives the turbine 500 to rotate, and the rotation of the turbine 500 drives the rotating shaft 300 to rotate.
[0042] For example, the module of the turbine 500 and the worm 510 is 2-4, and the number of threads in the worm 510 is 1, ensuring a self-locking coefficient ≥1.5 to prevent the rotating shaft 300 from driving the turbine 500 to rotate, and to ensure that the clamping plate 420 can securely clamp the bottle cap 600. In one embodiment, the parameters of the turbine 500 and the worm 510 are set as follows: module = 3, number of threads in the worm 510 = 1, number of teeth in the turbine 500 = 60, and lead angle = 3.5° (satisfying the self-locking condition).
[0043] To facilitate the rotation of the worm gear 510, such as Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the end of the worm 510 extends out of the mounting housing 100. The worm 510 can be rotated manually or by a motor.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a polygonal block 511 is coaxially fixed on the end of the worm gear 510.
[0045] Multi-sided blocks 511 include, for example, triangular blocks, quadrangular blocks, pentagonal blocks, or hexagonal blocks.
[0046] The multi-faceted block 511 is designed to facilitate wrench engagement, making it easier to rotate the worm gear 510 using a wrench.
[0047] For example, the polygonal block 511 is fixedly mounted on the worm gear 510 by means of welding or snap-fitting.
[0048] For example, the worm 510 has two ends, both of which extend out of the mounting housing 100. Two polygonal blocks 511 are provided, one polygonal block 511 is fixedly disposed on one end of the worm 510, and the other polygonal block 511 is fixedly disposed on the other end of the worm 510.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a sleeve 120 for rotating and engaging the worm gear 510 is fixedly provided on the mounting housing 100.
[0050] For example, the mounting housing 100 is provided with a through hole, and the sleeve 120 is fixedly installed at the through hole by welding or snap-fitting, etc., and the worm gear 510 is rotatably installed on the sleeve 120.
[0051] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the clamping plate 420 is provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction between the clamping plate 420 and the bottle cap 600; the depth of the anti-slip texture is, for example, 1 mm.
[0052] In one embodiment, the handle 200 is provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction between the handle 200 and the user's palm.
[0053] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
