Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a jaw structure of a universal pliers, and in particular to a jaw structure of a universal pliers that has a wide range of applications for woodworking clamps and has high response speed and performance in clamping operations. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional universal pliers (e.g., Patent Document 1) have a fixed jaw, a movable jaw that can be swung open or closed relative to the fixed jaw, a toggle link locking member that is pivotally attached to the movable jaw and extends to the fixed jaw and abuts against its free end, and an adjustment screw that is rotatably screwed into the fixed jaw in correspondence with the toggle link locking member.

[0003] The fixed jaw has a first handle and a fixed jaw connected to one end of the first handle, and the movable jaw has a second handle that opens relative to the first handle and a movable jaw that opens and closes relative to the fixed jaw and is pivotally connected between one end of the second handle and the fixed jaw.

[0004] The adjustment screw has a lead screw that abuts the free end of the toggle link locking member and is rotatably screwed into the first handle, and a cylindrical adjustment button at one end of the first handle that is connected in the opposite direction to the toggle link locking member and exposes the lead screw.

[0005] In actual use, first, the fixed jaw and the movable jaw are opened, the work to be clamped is positioned between the fixed jaw and the movable jaw, and then force is applied to the first and second handles, so that the work can be clamped securely. Next, by turning the adjustment screw adjustment knob, the force applied to the work by the fixed jaw and the movable jaw increases, so that the work can be securely fixed and clamped without having to continue to apply force by the first and second handles, and this makes it possible to adjust the force applied to the work clamped and fixed by the fixed jaw and the movable jaw.

[0006] The conventional universal pliers described above can clamp a workpiece by gripping the first and second handles to apply force and operating the fixed and movable jaws, but the joint surface where the fixed and movable jaws clamp the workpiece is a flat surface with horizontal jagged edges, so it is not designed to prevent the workpiece from coming off when clamping a circular workpiece. As a result, the workpiece may slip or, after clamping the workpiece, may come off the opening direction of the jaws due to the intervention of an external force (e.g., a collision). In this way, the jaws in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 still have the same design, so there is a similar problem. In Patent Document 2, in order to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the work clamping surfaces of the first and second operating blocks are formed into first and second sawtooths having a corresponding "L" shape, but since the bending point of the "L"-shaped clamping surfaces is located inside the center of the jaws, it was necessary to increase the operating angle of the first and second handles so that the work can be inserted into the opening of the jaws to be operated. Therefore, the opening and closing of the larger jaws has the drawback of slow response of the clamping operation when actually operated, and when the jaws are closed, the mouth is shaped approximately as a square, making it difficult to clamp a small-sized circular rod or circular tube, which adversely affected the range of application of the work. In particular, since the "L"-shaped clamping surfaces are bent surfaces where straight lines intersect, when clamping a non-circular workpiece, the force of the sawtooth to bite into the workpiece is insufficient, which may adversely affect the clamping force.

[0007] In view of this situation, the inventor of the present invention has utilized his many years of experience and knowledge in manufacturing and design in related fields to come up with various innovative ideas to complete the present invention. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] In order to more completely and clearly disclose the technical means of the present invention and the effects achievable thereby, the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and symbols disclosed.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a clamp structure of a universal pliers according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a clamp body 10. The clamp body 10 includes a first handle 20, a fixed clamp 30, a movable clamp 40, an elastic member 60, a second handle 70, an unlocking member 80, a connecting rod member 90, and a lead screw 24.

One of the three corners is provided with a pivot part 41 for pivotally mounting the fixed head 22, the other corner is provided with a first pivot part 42, and the remaining corner is provided with a movable jaw 43. A traction part 44 is provided between the pivot part 41 and the first pivot part 42. The movable jaw 43 is provided opposite the first clamping surface 32 and has a second clamping surface 45. The second clamping surface 45 moves closer to or away from the first clamping surface 32 as the movable jaw 43 swings. The size of the opening of the clamping part 50 can be determined by swinging the movable jaw 43 and adjusting the distance between the first clamping surface 32 and the second clamping surface 45.

[0021] An elastic member 60 (ideally a tension spring) has one end fixed on the gripping portion 21 and the other end connected to the traction portion 44 and is pulled, so that the movable jaw 43 is returned to its original position after swinging.

[0022] The gripping portion 71 of the second handle 70 has a first pivot pin 72 at one end to which the first pivot portion 42 is pivotally attached, and a second pivot pin 73 at the other end at a position a certain distance away from the tail portion. A third pivot pin 74 is provided between the first pivot pin 72 and the second pivot pin 73.

[0023] The unlocking member 80 has a middle portion pivotally mounted on the second pivot pin 73, and has a push portion 81 provided at one end of the pivotal mounting position and an unlocking operation portion 82 provided at the other end.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the first clamping surface 32 and the second clamping surface 45 are formed with inner abutment surface portions 320, 450 and outer abutment surface portions 321, 451 that abut against each other, and the inner abutment surface portions 320, 450 and outer abutment surface portions 321, 451 that abut against each other jointly form a clamping reference line B and a folding center point C on the clamping reference line B.

[0027] As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the first clamping surface 32 forms a concave arc C1 with a radius R1 of 4.5 to 5.5 mm by the folding center point C, and defines the folding surface portion 322. The clamping reference line B at the end of the inner contact surface portion 320 has an inner oblique line I1 with an included angle α1 of 16 to 18 degrees that is in contact with the concave arc C1, and defines the inner clamping surface portion 323. Between the end of the outer contact surface portion 321 and the concave arc C1, a convex arc curve A1 is provided that is in contact with the concave arc C1, and defines the outer clamping surface portion 324. The distance D1 from the intersection of the inner oblique line I1 and the clamping reference line B to the folding center point C is 1.1 to 1.4 times the distance D2 from the folding center point C to the outer contact surface portion 321. A plurality of inner clamping surfaces 323 are connected and arranged with their teeth facing away from the outer contact surface portion 321. The apex of the tooth is located at the horizontally striped ratchet tooth-shaped anti-engagement jagged edge 33 on the inner oblique line I1. The bending surface portion 322 and the outer clamping surface portion 324 are arranged in a connected manner, and the apex of the tooth is located at the horizontally striped pyramidal pressing jagged edge 34 on the concave arc line C1 and the convex arc curve A1.

[0028] 2, 5, 7 and 8, the second clamping surface 45 has a mirror-symmetrical structure of the first clamping surface 32 with respect to the clamping reference line B, and defines a folded surface portion 452 by a concave arc line C2 of the same radius R2 (R1=R2) formed by the bending center point C at the same position, and defines an inner clamping surface portion 453 by the concave arc line C2 that is in contact with an inner oblique line I2 with an included angle α2 (α1=α2) of 16 to 18 degrees on the clamping reference line B at the end of the inner abutting surface portion 450. A convex arc curve A2 that is in contact with the concave arc line C2 is similarly provided between the end of the outer abutting surface portion 451 and the concave arc line C2 to define an outer clamping surface portion 454. A distance D3 from the intersection of the inner oblique line I2 and the clamping reference line B to the folding center point C is 1.1 to 1.4 times the distance D4 from the folding center point C to the outer contact surface portion 451. The inner clamping surface portion 453 is formed of a plurality of the same tooth-shaped anti-engagement jagged edges 46 that are connected and arranged with each other. The folding surface portion 452 and the outer clamping surface portion 454 are formed of a plurality of tooth-shaped anti-pressure jagged edges 47 that are connected and correspond to each other.

[0029] Please refer to Fig. 10. As shown in Fig. 10, when clamping the workpiece 11A, which is a circular rod or a circular tube, using the clamp body 10, the circular shape of the workpiece 11A is pressed by the rotation operation part 240 of the lead screw 24, the opening dimension of the gripping part 50 is appropriately adjusted, and the bending center point C formed by the first clamping surface 32 and the second clamping surface 45 is shifted toward the opening direction of the gripping part 50, as shown in Figs. 3, 5 and 8, and the bending surface parts 322, 452 and the outer clamping surface parts 324, The apex of each tooth of the multiple pressure serrations 34, 47 connected and arranged on 454 is formed on the concave arc lines C1, C2 and the convex arc curves A1, A2 in a non-linear manner, and as shown in Figures 11 and 12, when the first handle 20 and the second handle 70 are brought close to each other and gripped tightly with force, the workpiece can be clamped without slipping due to the small output swing angle range (even if an external force is applied, the workpiece 11A is prevented from slipping out of the gripping portion 50). As shown in Fig. 13, even if the workpiece 11B is a smaller circular rod or tube (see Fig. 5 and Fig. 8), when the pressing serrations 34, 47 arranged on the concave arc lines C1, C2 and the convex arc curves A1, A2 are closed, a slit-shaped gripping portion 50 is formed, so that the clamping operation can be effectively performed or terminated (when the unlocking member 80 is pushed down, the push portion 81 pushes the arc convex portion 91 of the connecting rod member 90, and the state shown in Fig. 11 is restored and unlocked). Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 14, for other large workpieces 11C having non-circular shapes, the pressing serrations 34, 47 of the outer clamping surface portions 324, 454 formed on the convex arc curves A1, A2 in a non-linear manner are used, and the workpieces naturally match the shape of the workpiece, so that the clamping operation can be performed with a strong force. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 14, the clamping range of workpieces 11A, 11B, and 11C is wide, and the response speed and performance of the clamping operation can be improved.

[0030] In the above-mentioned embodiment, preferably, as shown in Figs. 4, 5, 7 and 8, the radii R1, R2 of the concave arc lines C1, C2 of the first clamping surface 32 and the second clamping surface 45 are 5 mm ± 0.2 mm. The curvature radii of the convex arc curves A1, A2 are 16 mm ± 0.2 mm. As shown in Figs. 10 to 13, when clamping the workpiece 11A of a circular rod or a circular tube housed in the bending surface portion 322, 452, the pressing serrations 34, 47 on the outer clamping surface portion 324, 454 are naturally pushed toward the counter-engagement serrations 33, 46 of the inner clamping surface portion 323, 453 on the surface of the workpiece 11A, so that even if the workpiece 11B is small, having a diameter of 1 cm, the tool of the clamp body 10 can be smoothly clamped. As shown in Figs. 5 and 8, the above-mentioned concave arc lines C1, C2 are formed at the bending center point C on the clamping reference line B. The distances D1, D3 from the intersections of the inner oblique lines I1, I2 and the clamping reference line B to the bending center point C are 1.2 to 1.3 times the distances D2, D4 from the bending center point C to the outer abutment surface portion 321, 451 (D1 is 1.2 to 1.3 times D2, and D3 is 1.2 to 1.3 times D4). The angles α1, α2 formed by the inner oblique lines I1, I2 and the clamping reference line B are 17 degrees ± 0.2 degrees. See also FIG. 3. The bending center point C is shifted toward the opening direction of the jaw portion 50, and the ratio of the outer clamping surface portion 324, 454 and the inner clamping surface portion 323, 453 is made to a good matching state, and the clamp body 10 is manufactured in different sizes (ideally large, medium, and small sizes) so that it can clamp workpieces of various sizes including circular rods or circular tubes. As shown in Figures 5, 6, 8 and 9, the distance between the tooth apexes of the multiple counter-engagement serrations 33, 46 on the inner clamping surface 323, 453 is defined as the ratchet tooth pitch S1, S2, and the vertical distance from the tooth apex to the root is defined as the ratchet tooth height H1, H2. The ratchet tooth pitch S1, S2 is 2.5 mm ± 0.2 mm. The ratchet tooth height H1, H2 is 1.4 mm ± 0.2 mm. The distance between the tooth apexes of the multiple pressing serrations 34, 47 on the outer clamping surface 324, 454 is defined as the pressing tooth pitch S3, S4. The vertical distance from the tooth apex to the root is defined as the pressing tooth crest height H3, H4. The pressing tooth pitch S3, S4 is 2.7 mm ± 0.2 mm. The crimping tooth heights H3 and H4 are 1.4 mm±0.2 mm.Furthermore, the pressing serrations 34, 47 of the bending surface portions 322, 452 have tooth apexes arranged along the concave arc lines C1, C2, and form tooth shapes in contact with the anti-engagement serrations 33, 46 of the inner clamping surface portions 323, 453 and the pressing serrations 34, 47 of the outer clamping surface portions 324, 454. The tooth shape dimensions of the anti-engagement serrations 33, 46 and the pressing serrations 34, 47 can be adapted to various workpieces, resulting in high strength and good holding power, allowing clamps of various dimensional standards to be produced, and providing good clamping of the workpiece.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above so that those skilled in the art can understand, but they are not intended to limit the present invention. Various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the utility model registration claims of the present invention should be broadly interpreted to include such changes and modifications. [Explanation of symbols]
