Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of object pickup technology, and more specifically, to a universal adjustable object pickup. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening of population aging and the continuous increase in the number of patients with lower limb and spinal dysfunction, the demand for assistive tools that allow users to pick up and place items on the ground or at high places without bending over is becoming increasingly urgent in daily life. Traditional object pickers typically consist of a pair of fixed grippers, a straight bar, a simple pull-string mechanism, and a handle. While they can help users pick up items to some extent, they reveal the following obvious shortcomings in actual use: 1. The gripper opening direction is singular; the bar cannot be bent or can only be extended in large sections. When facing complex spatial obstacles such as "L-shaped," "U-shaped," and "Z-shaped" obstacles, the straight bar cannot bypass obstacles such as partitions, pipes, and furniture edges, causing the gripper to be unable to approach the target object. Based on the above problems, this application proposes an object picker that can be bent and positioned at any angle, has a universally adjustable gripper direction, and is highly reliable. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a picker that can be bent and positioned at any angle, has universally adjustable gripper direction, and has high reliability.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a universal adjustable pickup, including a clamp, a connecting tube, and a handle. The clamp and the connecting tube are connected by a universal bending assembly. The universal bending assembly enables the clamp to bend and position relative to the connecting tube in multiple directions. The universal bending assembly includes a flexible metal hose made of a malleable material and a mounting sleeve located at the tail end of the flexible metal hose. The mounting sleeve is fixedly engaged with the clamp, and a folding joint is provided between the head end of the flexible metal hose and the connecting tube.
[0005] The present invention is further configured such that: the metal hose is a tubular shell made of spirally wound metal wires, and there is a gap between adjacent spirally wound metal wires that allows them to bend.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the folding joint includes a joint component one, a joint component two, and a joint lock for releasing the locking of joint component one and joint component two; the tail end of joint component one is sleeved with a connecting pipe; the head end of the metal hose is provided with a mounting sleeve two; and the tail end of joint component two is fixedly engaged with mounting sleeve two.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the following advantages are achieved:
[0008] 1. Achieves omnidirectional adjustment and strong spatial adaptability: Through the structure of the omnidirectional bending component, this utility model solves the inherent defect of the rigid rod of traditional pick-up devices. The flexible metal hose itself can be bent and shaped in any direction of 360 degrees, allowing it to form complex "L-shaped", "U-shaped" and other multi-segment bending paths, thereby greatly improving the ability to bypass spatial obstacles (such as furniture edges, pipes, and partitions), so that the gripping operation is no longer limited to a straight path;
[0009] 2. Provides stable and reliable posture maintenance capability: The core component, the flexible metal hose, is made of a malleable material. After being manually bent, it can firmly maintain its predetermined shape by relying on the material's own deformation resistance, without the need for additional continuous tightening force.

[0013] Reference Figures 1 to 2 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.
[0014] A universal adjustable pickup includes a clamp 1, a connecting tube 2, and a handle 3. The clamp 1 and the connecting tube 2 are connected by a universal bending assembly 4. The universal bending assembly 4 enables the clamp 1 to bend and position relative to the connecting tube 2 in multiple directions. The universal bending assembly 4 includes a flexible metal hose 40 made of a malleable material and a mounting sleeve 41 located at the tail end of the flexible metal hose 40. The mounting sleeve 41 is fixedly engaged with the clamp 1. A folding joint 5 is provided between the head end of the flexible metal hose 40 and the connecting tube 2.
[0015] The metal hose 40 is a tubular shell made of spirally wound metal wires, with gaps between adjacent spirally wound metal wires that allow it to bend.
[0016] The folding joint 5 includes a first joint 50, a second joint 51, and a joint lock 52 for releasing the first joint 50 and the second joint 51. The tail end of the first joint 50 is sleeved with the connecting pipe 2. The first end of the metal hose 40 is provided with a second mounting sleeve 42. The tail end of the second joint 51 is fixedly engaged with the second mounting sleeve 42.
[0017] Working principle: The user can directly bend the flexible metal hose 40 manually. Because it is composed of spirally wound metal wires, the gaps between adjacent wires provide ample flexibility, allowing the user to precisely bend the flexible metal hose 40 at any angle in all directions—front and back, left and right, and diagonally upwards. The flexible metal hose 40 uses a malleable material that retains its shape immediately after the bending force is removed, relying on the material's internal stress. This facilitates precise clamping of objects. The folding joint 5, by releasing its joint lock 52, allows joint 1 50 and joint 2 51 to rotate relative to each other, facilitating the overall folding and storage of the pick-up device and reducing its storage volume.
[0018] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
