[0009] The following examples are provided to illustrate possible embodiments of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0010] 1 to 4, which show one embodiment of the present invention, an extractor 1 of the present invention includes a body 10, a screw 20 and a plurality of claw members 30. As shown in FIG.
[0011] The body 10 has a plurality of locking joints 11 and a screw hole 12. Each locking joint 11 has a locking groove 111 formed on its side and an elastic abutment 112, which includes a locking structure 113. The screw 20 is threaded into the screw hole 12. The plurality of claw members 30 are respectively detachably connected to the locking connection portions 11, and each claw member 30 has a pivot portion 31 and a positioning portion 32. The pivot portion 31 is pivotally connected to the locking groove 111, and one end surface of the positioning portion 32 is provided with a concave-convex structure 321 that extends and is distributed around the pivot portion 31. The concave-convex structure 321 is releasably locked and positioned by the locking structure 113. When a central vertical line L of the positioning portion 32 is parallel to the screw 20, the central vertical line L divides the concave-convex structure 321 into a first section 322 and a second section 323, and the first section 322 and the second section 323 extend around the pivot portion 31 at different arc angles relative to the center of the pivot portion 31. This allows the claw member 30 to be directly assembled to the main body 10 or directly removed from the main body 10, which is convenient for assembly and use.
[0012] In this embodiment, the main body 10 includes a base 13 and a top cover 14. The top cover 14 is removably attached to the base 13, for example, by screws. However, the main body 10 may also be integrally molded to further reduce the number of components and costs. The base 13 has a hardness of HRC 40±4, the top cover 14 has a hardness of HRC 47±3, the screw 20 has a hardness of HRC 41±4, and each of the pawl members 30 has a hardness of HRC 45±5. The base 13, the top cover 14, the screw 20, and each of the pawl members 30 are made of, for example, steel (alloy steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, spring steel, etc.). The top cover 14 is thin and has a relatively high hardness, which allows it to be as thin as possible while still providing sufficient and stable locking for the pawl members 30. The relatively high hardness of each of the pawl members 30 ensures that they are resistant to deformation and damage.
[0013] The locking groove 111 includes a through groove 114 and a pivot groove 115 from the outside to the inside, the pivot portion 31 is inserted into the pivot groove 115 from the through groove 114 and pivoted to the pivot groove 115, the through groove 114 being narrower than the pivot groove 115. The pivot portion 31 has a narrow diameter D1 and a wide diameter D2, the narrow diameter D1 allows the pivot portion 31 to pass through the through groove 114 and enter the pivot groove 115, and the wide diameter D2 is larger than the groove opening width of the through groove 114 so that the pivot portion 31 is positioned and restricted in the pivot groove 115. The through groove 114 includes a side surface 116 extending radially toward the pivot groove 115, and a lead angle 117 (FIG. 4) is provided between the side of the through groove 114 that is close to the positioning portion 32 and the side surface 116. The distance that the side surface 116 extends radially toward the pivot groove 115 is defined as a radial width dimension D3, and the radial width dimension D3 is 0.75 times or more the wide diameter D2. Thus, even if a part of the pivot portion 31 is positioned in the through groove 114 during operation, it can be prevented from inadvertently escaping from the locking groove 111, resulting in excellent reliability. In this embodiment, the pivot groove 115 extends in an arc shape around the screw 20 (FIG. 4), and the pivot part 31 extends outward from the positioning part 32, gradually narrowing (approximately tapered). The outlines of the pivot groove 115 and the pivot part 31 are combined, and the through groove 114 is provided with the lead angle 117. Therefore, when the pivot part 31, which has an approximately tapered shape, abuts on the groove wall of the locking groove 111 during extraction, it is guided to a central position and receives a balanced force. Furthermore, the pivot part 31 is closer to the positioning part 32 and abuts on the groove wall of the locking groove 111 at a root position with the greatest structural strength, which effectively prevents the pivot part 31 from being damaged.
[0014] Preferably, an inserter 21 is removably assembled to one end of the screw 20, and an appropriate inserter 21 can be replaced depending on the item to be extracted. The head 211 of the inserter 21 extends axially beyond the threaded portion of the screw 20 and radially beyond the root position of the thread of the threaded portion, thereby preventing damage to the threaded portion of the screw 20 during the extraction operation.
[0015] In this embodiment, the locking structure 113 includes at least one locking tooth 118, and the concave-convex structure 321 includes a plurality of spaced apart convex teeth 324 and a plurality of concave grooves 325. The at least one locking tooth 118 is releasably engaged with one of the concave grooves 325, allowing each of the pawl members 30 to maintain a predetermined position after pivoting and preventing slippage during removal. One end of each of the pawl members 30 facing the positioning portion 32 has a clamping plate 33 protruding laterally. The clamping plate 33 is used to hook onto an article and may be mounted facing inward ( FIG. 1 ) or outward ( FIG. 5 ). The first section 322 and the clamping plate 33 are located on the same side of the central vertical line L, but may also be located on different sides of the central vertical line L.
[0016] Preferably, the arc angle θ1 of the first section 322 around the pivot portion 31 is 60 to 125 degrees, and the arc angle θ2 of the second section 323 around the pivot portion 31 is 65 to 135 degrees. For example, the arc angle θ1 of the first section 322 around the pivot portion 31 is 70 degrees, and the arc angle θ2 of the second section 323 around the pivot portion 31 is 90 degrees. The large arc angle θ2 of the second section 323 allows the pawl member 30 to maintain a fixed position even when it swings outward at a large angle, and at the same time, prevents the pawl member 30 from accidentally escaping from the locking groove 111.
