Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building structure inspection and maintenance technology, and in particular to a hammer for detecting hollow walls. Background Technology

[0002] A hollow hammer is a tool used to detect hollow areas in building structures. It typically consists of a handle and a metal ball. During construction or repair of buildings, a hollow hammer can be used to tap walls or floors to detect the presence of hollow areas. Hollow areas refer to a phenomenon where the bonding between building materials and the substrate is not strong, resulting in a hollow and reverberating sound.

[0003] For example, patent application number CN202322373362.2 discloses a hollow-spotting hammer, including a hammer handle assembly and a housing. The bottom end of the hammer handle assembly is fitted with an anti-loss strap, and a hinge block is fixedly installed at the top of the hammer handle assembly. A U-shaped frame is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the housing. The hinge block and the U-shaped frame are hinged together via a damping shaft. This hollow-spotting hammer, by rotating a knob, contacts the surface of the U-shaped frame, thereby locking the U-shaped frame and the hinge block. This causes the housing and hammer handle assembly to be tilted, facilitating use in confined spaces. The hammer handle assembly allows the hollow-spotting hammer head to strike the wall. The striking of the hammer head on the wall compresses the ink supply component inside the housing, drawing ink into the stamp. The stamp then adheres to the wall, marking the surface. However, the hammerhead and the ink cartridge used for marking are located at the left and right ends of the hammer body, respectively. The hammerhead and the stamp are fixed to the hammer body in a non-removable manner. Therefore, if the hammerhead or the stamp is damaged after long-term use, the entire hammer needs to be replaced, resulting in high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, this embodiment proposes a hammer for detecting hollow walls, comprising:

[0027] Hammer handle 1, with a bolt 4 at the top of the hammer handle 1, the bolt 4 being fixedly connected to the hammer handle 1;

[0028] Hammer head 3 is sleeved on the outside of bolt rod 4, and hammer head 3 is detachably connected to bolt rod 4 through a connecting device;

[0029] Hammer ball 7 and hammer tail 8 are respectively set at the left and right ends of hammer head 3, and hammer ball 7 and hammer tail 8 are fixedly connected to hammer head 3;

[0030] Hold the hammer handle 1 and strike the wall with the hammer ball 7 on the hammer head 3. When the hammer ball 7 strikes the surface of the object, if there are no gaps inside the object, the vibration will be transmitted through the striking object, and the sound will be crisp and the echo will be short. However, if there are hollows, the vibration transmission will be blocked and resonance will be formed in the gaps, producing a dull, hollow sound with a long echo.

[0031] The marker 11 is located on the side of the hammer tail 8 away from the hammer head 3, and the marker 11 is detachably connected to the hammer tail 8.

[0032] After determining the location of the hollow area, rotate the hammer handle 1 and use the hammer tail 8 to touch the hollow area. The marker pen 11 on the hammer tail 8 will mark the hollow point, thus avoiding omissions and repeated inspections later, allowing construction personnel to quickly find the parts that need repair and improving rectification efficiency. The marker pen 11 is detachably connected to the hammer tail 8, and the hammer head 3 is detachably connected to the bolt 4. The split design facilitates independent replacement of each component and reduces maintenance costs.

[0033] To facilitate the replacement of hammer head 3, hammer head 3 is installed on bolt rod 4 in a detachable connection manner. Specifically, the connection device includes threaded hole 5 and tightening nut 6. Threaded hole 5 is opened in the center of hammer head 3. Bolt rod 4 passes through threaded hole 5 and is threadedly connected to threaded hole 5. Tightening nut 6 is set on top of hammer head 3. Tightening nut 6 is sleeved on the outside of bolt rod 4 and is threadedly connected to bolt rod 4.

[0034] The hammer head 3 is prevented from loosening by setting a loosening nut 6. When removing the hammer head 3 from the bolt rod 4, rotate the loosening nut 6 to unscrew the loosening nut 6 from the top of the bolt rod 4, and then rotate the hammer head 3 to unscrew the hammer head 3 from the top of the bolt rod 4.

[0035] To facilitate replacement of the marker pen 11, the marker pen 11 is also detachably connected to the hammer tail 8. Specifically, the hammer tail 8 has a threaded groove 12 on the side away from the hammer head 3. The marker pen 11 is inserted into the threaded groove 12. The outer side of the marker pen 11 has an external thread 14, which is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 12. The end of the marker pen 11 away from the hammer tail 8 has a pen tip 15. Similarly, when removing the marker pen 11 from the hammer tail 8, simply rotate the marker pen 11 to unscrew it from the threaded groove 12.

[0036] To prevent the pen tip 15 from being exposed for extended periods, which could lead to ink evaporation, causing the tip to dry out and harden, affecting subsequent use, in a preferred embodiment, a sealing cap 9 is provided on the side of the hammer tail 8 furthest from the hammer head 3. The sealing cap 9 is fitted over the outside of the pen tip 15 and is detachably connected to the hammer tail 8 via a snap-fit ​​structure. The sealing cap 9 is also fixedly connected to the connecting strap 10 located on the outside of the hammer tail 8. When the hammer is not in use, the sealing cap 9 is fastened onto the hammer tail 8. The sealing cap 9 effectively isolates the air, keeping the pen tip clean while slowing down ink evaporation from the pen tip 15, thus extending the lifespan of the marker pen 11.

[0037] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​structure includes multiple spherical snap-fits 16, which are fixedly connected to the side of the sealing cover 9 facing the hammer tail 8. The spherical snap-fits 16 engage with the slots 13 formed on the outside of the hammer tail 8. When using the marker pen 11, simply pull the sealing cover 9 to remove the spherical snap-fits 16 from the slots 13.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the sealing cover 9 is provided with a connecting ear 17 on the side away from the snap-fit ​​structure to facilitate gripping of the sealing cover 9.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a handle ring 2 is provided at the bottom of the hammer handle 1, and the handle ring 2 is fixedly connected to the hammer handle 1. When not in use, the hammer can be hung on a tool rack or hook via the handle ring 2, saving space and making it easy to access. In addition, the handle ring 2 fixed to the tail of the hammer handle 1 can also serve as a counterweight to balance the weight of the hammer head 3 and improve the grip.

[0040] How this application works:

[0041] Holding the hammer handle 1, strike the wall using the hammer ball 7 on the hammer head 3. When the hammer ball 7 strikes the surface of an object, if there are no gaps inside, the sound is crisp and the echo is short. However, if there are hollow areas, the vibration transmission is obstructed, and resonance occurs at the gaps, producing a dull, hollow sound with a long echo. After determining the location of the hollow areas, rotate the hammer handle 1 and use the hammer tail 8 to touch the hollow areas. The marker pen 11 on the hammer tail 8 will mark the hollow points, thus avoiding omissions and repeated checks later, allowing construction workers to quickly find the parts that need repair and improving the efficiency of the rectification.
