Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool clip technology, and more specifically, it relates to a three-fold storage trash clip. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional garbage clamps typically employ a two-stage transmission structure: handle-traction rope-clamp. The user grips the handle, and the traction rope, which runs through a metal or carbon fiber connector, pulls the bottom clamp to perform the clamping and releasing action. To facilitate carrying and storage, in recent years, the industry has generally incorporated a joint sleeve in the middle section of the connector, allowing the clamp to fold in half once (i.e., "double fold"), instantly halving its length and making it suitable for storage in electric vehicle storage boxes or sanitation backpacks.

[0003] However, existing articulated sleeves can only fold in one direction. After folding, the traction rope bends in a "U" shape along the pole, and the increase in rope length only needs to compensate for the allowance required for one bend. When attempting to add another fold (three-fold storage, pole in a "Z" shape), the simultaneous bending of the two articulated sleeves will cause the cumulative path of the traction rope to shorten sharply, resulting in a "rope length deficit." If a three-fold is forcibly performed, the traction rope will be over-tensioned or even jammed inside the articulated sleeve, causing rebound failure, plastic elongation or breakage of the rope, which in turn prevents the clamping device from closing completely and loses its clamping function. To avoid failure, currently available products can only settle for a two-fold structure, but the storage length still occupies about 50% of the space, which is difficult to meet the needs of miniaturized sanitation vehicles and lightweight carrying by operators. Based on the above problems, this application proposes a three-fold storage garbage clamp. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a three-fold storage pick-up device that is easy to store and fold, and has the advantages of small size and convenient operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a three-fold storage pickup, including a connecting tube, clamps at both ends of the connecting tube, and a handle. The connecting tube has a through groove, through which a traction rope is threaded, with its two ends connected to the handle and clamp respectively. The connecting tube has at least two folding joints, dividing the connecting tube into three sections. The connecting tube can be folded into three sections along the two folding joints. Each folding joint includes a joint base fitted onto the end of any section of the tube and a joint connecting tube fitted onto the end of the adjacent section of the tube. The joint base abuts against the end face of the joint connecting tube. Both abutting end faces have through holes connected to the through groove for the traction rope to pass through. The outer surfaces of the joint base and the joint connecting tube are provided with rotating connectors. The through holes are eccentrically positioned, with the eccentric direction facing the work position of the rotating connector. The rotating connector enables the joint base and the joint connecting tube to rotate and fold. The joint connecting tube is covered with a sliding joint sleeve. When the joint sleeve slides toward the joint base, it forms a locking fit with the joint base. When the joint sleeve slides away from the joint base, the locking fit is released.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: one end of the joint sleeve corresponding to the joint base is provided with an insertion end, and the joint base is provided with a locking groove for the insertion end to be inserted and engaged.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the rotating connector includes a rotating shaft, an insert block located on the joint connector, and a connecting seat located on the joint base; the connecting seat is provided with a slot, and through holes adapted to the rotating shaft are provided on both sides of the slot; the insert block is embedded in the slot; the rotating shaft passes through the insert block and its two ends extend into the through holes, so that a rotating connection is formed between the insert block and the connecting seat.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the through-hole extends to the insert block to form a transverse guide groove, and its tail end is connected to a longitudinal guide groove, wherein the transverse guide groove and the longitudinal guide groove are arranged in an L-shape.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution

[0010] 1. Achieves tri-fold storage, shortening the length when folded. The connecting tube features two folding joints, dividing the pole into three sections that can be folded inwards into a "Z" shape. The folded length is only 30% of the unfolded length, allowing it to be directly placed in a waist bag, small sanitation vehicle drawer, or electric vehicle seat bucket, meeting the needs for lightweight and compact carrying. 2. Solves the problem of traction rope path compensation. The eccentric through-hole design, with the through-hole biased towards the rotating connector, automatically adjusts the bending path of the traction rope when the joints fold, effectively compensating for rope length changes caused by multiple folds and avoiding the problems of rope tension, jamming, or breakage in traditional designs. 3. The joint locking is reliable and easy to operate. Locking and unlocking are achieved by sliding the joint sleeve: sliding forward locks the joint, and sliding backward unlocks it. The mating structure between the insertion end and the locking slot enhances the stability of the folded state, preventing accidental loosening during use, while also improving operational intuitiveness.

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.

[0020] A three-fold storage pickup includes a connecting tube 1, clamps 2 located at both ends of the connecting tube 1, and handles 3. The connecting tube 1 has a through groove 10, through which a traction rope 4 passes, with its two ends connected to the handles 3 and clamps 2 respectively. The connecting tube 1 has at least two folding joints 5, dividing the connecting tube 1 into three sections. The connecting tube 1 can be folded into three sections along the two folding joints 5. Each folding joint 5 includes a joint base 50 fitted onto the end of any one section of the tube, and a joint connecting tube 51 fitted onto the end of the adjacent section. The joint base 50 abuts against the end face of the joint connecting tube 51. Each end face of the joint is provided with a through-hole 55 communicating with the through groove 10 for the traction rope 4 to pass through. The outer surface of the joint base 50 and the joint connector 51 is provided with a rotating connector 6. The through-hole 55 is eccentrically positioned with its eccentric direction facing the working position of the rotating connector 6. The joint base 50 and the joint connector 51 are rotated and folded through the rotating connector 6. The joint connector 51 is covered with a sliding joint sleeve 52. When the joint sleeve 52 slides toward the joint base 50, it forms a locking engagement with the joint base 50. When the joint sleeve 52 slides away from the joint base 50, the locking engagement is released. The joint sleeve 52 is provided with an insertion end 53 at one end corresponding to the joint base 50. The joint base 50 is provided with a locking groove 54 for the insertion end 53 to be inserted and engaged.

[0021] The rotating connector 6 includes a rotating shaft 60, a plug 61 located on the joint connector 51, and a connecting seat 62 located on the joint base 50. The connecting seat 62 is provided with a slot 63, and through holes 64 on both sides of the slot 63 are adapted to the rotating shaft 60. The plug 61 is embedded in the slot 63. After the rotating shaft 60 passes through the plug 61, its two ends extend into the through holes 64, so that a rotating connection is formed between the plug 61 and the connecting seat 62. The through opening 55 extends to the plug 61 to form a transverse guide groove 65, and its tail end is connected to a longitudinal guide groove 66. The transverse guide groove 65 and the longitudinal guide groove 66 are arranged in an L-shape.

[0022] Working principle: When storing the pickup, first push the joint sleeve 52 to disengage its insertion end 53 from the locking groove 54 on the joint base 50, exposing the end face of the joint base 50 that abuts against the joint tube 51. At this time, rotate the tube body with the joint tube 51 clockwise 180° to make the adjacent tubes folded. After the traction rope 4 passes through the eccentric through hole 55, it bends along the transverse guide groove 65 and folds into the longitudinal guide groove 66 as the tube body moves, shortening the bending path of the traction rope 4, thereby adapting to the changing length requirements of the traction rope 4 due to the three folds of the pickup.

[0023] 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.
