[0007] According to the present invention, the workability of the extraction work using the extraction tool can be improved. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 4] 3A and 3B are a front view of the drawing tool and a cross-sectional view of a workpiece to be drawn, showing a scene in a drawing process using the drawing tool of FIG. 1 , and show a scene following FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following is an embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0010] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the drawing tool 1, and Figures 2 to 4 show diagrams of the drawing process using the drawing tool 1. The drawing direction is Z, and two axes that are perpendicular to the drawing direction Z and intersect each other perpendicularly are X and Y. The extraction tool 1 of this embodiment includes a locking claw support 10 and a guide 20. The locking claw support 10 has two hook portions 11, 11, a claw movement guide shaft member 12, a movable frame 13, two bolts 14, 14, two bolts 15, 15 as extraction direction guide shaft members, and nuts 16, 16.

[0011] The extraction tool 1 is a tool that extracts a second member 90, which is fitted into a first member 80, in a predetermined extraction direction Z to separate the second member 90 from the first member 80. In the illustrated example, the first member 80 is a manifold block, and the second member 90 is a valve cartridge. The cylindrical second member 90 fits into a hole 81 provided in the first member 80. In other words, the second member 90 fits inside the first member 80. The side wall of the cylindrical second member 90 has communication holes 91, 91 that communicate between the inside and outside of the cylindrical structure, positioned at 180° opposite each other. The communication holes 91, 91 are used as target sites for hanging hooks, and the extraction tool 1 is applied.

[0012] Each hook portion 11 includes a hook-shaped locking claw 11a that is locked to the second member 90. Each hook portion 11 has the locking claw 11a at one end and a slide guide hole 11b at the other end 11c. The claw movement guide shaft member 12 is disposed perpendicular to the pull-out direction Z (X direction) and is inserted into the slide guide hole 11b to hold the hook portion 11 slidably in the X direction. This prevents the angle of the hook portion 11 with respect to the pull-out direction Z from changing even if the hook portion 11 is moved in the X direction to adjust its position, thereby reducing the possibility that the locking claw 11a will become unlocked during the pull-out operation.

[0013] The two hook portions 11, 11 have locking claws 11a, 11a that protrude outward in opposite directions (opposite directions in the X direction). The two hook portions 11, 11 are both held by one claw movement guide shaft member 12 and are held movable along the claw movement guide shaft member 12 until they approach each other and come into contact with each other. Therefore, the distance between the locking claws 11a, 11a can be reduced, making it easy to insert them inside the second member 90. The insertable width of the pair of hook portions 11, 11 can be reduced, making it possible to pull out smaller parts.

[0014] The hook portion 11 has an arm portion 11d that extends in the pulling-out direction Z and connects between the locking claw 11a and the other end portion 11c. The slide guide hole 11b (the other end 11c) protrudes in the same direction as the locking claw 11a, and the hole length L of the slide guide hole 11b is longer than the width W of the arm portion 11d. Since the hole length L of the slide guide hole 11b is long, the hook portion 11 is held by the claw movement guide shaft member 12 with high precision, and rattling is suppressed. In addition, since the slide guide hole 11b (the other end 11c) protrudes in the same direction as the locking claw 11a, the deviation in the X direction between the fulcrum at the other end 11c and the locking claw 11a is kept small, and the moment load on the hook portion 11 during the pulling-out operation is kept small. Therefore, the angle of approximately 90° between the claw movement guide shaft member 12 and the arm portion 11d, and the parallelism of the projection direction of the claw movement guide shaft member 12 and the locking claw 11a are precisely maintained. This prevents the locking claw 11a from coming off the communication hole 91 of the second member 90 during the pulling-out operation, and allows a strong pulling-out force to be applied.

[0015] The claw movement guide shaft member 12 is rod-shaped with its axial direction aligned in the X direction, and has holes 12a, 12a at both ends for inserting bolts 14, 14 therethrough. The movable frame 13 has a gate-shaped structure, and the central beam portion extending in the X direction corresponds to the grip component G1. Legs 13a, 13a at both ends extend in the Z direction. Screw holes 13b, 13b are drilled in the legs 13a, 13a in the Z direction. The screw holes 13b, 13b are provided with female screws. The bolts 14 are inserted through the holes 12a and screwed into the screw holes 13b, whereby both ends of the claw movement guide shaft member 12 are fixed to the lower ends of the legs 13a of the movable frame 13. That is, the claw movement guide shaft member 12 is supported by the movable frame 13 at both ends. Since the claw movement guide shaft member 12 is supported at both ends, it is possible to abut the two hook portions 11, as described above. Furthermore, since the claw movement guide shaft member 12 is supported at both ends, the supporting force for supporting the two hook portions 11 is high.

[0016] The guide 20 also has a gate-shaped structure. The central beam portion extending in the X direction corresponds to the grip component G2. The grip component G1 and the grip component G2 form the grip G. The legs 20a, 20a at both ends extend in the Z direction. The guide 20 is arranged so that the inner surfaces of the legs 20a, 20a of the guide 20 face the outer surfaces of the legs 13a, 13a of the movable frame 13, and the movable frame 13 is accommodated in the gate-shaped structure of the guide 20. The inner surfaces of the legs 20a, 20a of the guide 20 and the outer surfaces of the legs 13a, 13a of the movable frame 13 may rub against each other or may have a gap therebetween. With this configuration, even if the legs 13a, 13a of the movable frame 13 are loaded during removal and move laterally, the movement is suppressed by the inner surfaces of the legs 20a, 20a of the guide 20. In this arrangement, extraction direction guide holes 20b, 20b are formed in the guide 20 so as to be coaxial with the screw holes 13b, 13b. The inner circumferential surfaces of the extraction direction guide holes 20b, 20b and the outer circumferential surfaces of the unscrewed portions of the bolts 15, 15 serving as extraction direction guide shaft members are configured to have dimensions that allow sliding therebetween. The bolts 15, 15 are inserted into the extraction direction guide holes 20b, 20b from the outside of the gate structure, and the male threads at the tips of the bolts 15, 15 are screwed into the nuts 16, 16 and then into the screw holes 13b, 13b. The length of extension of bolts 15, 15 from grip component G1 of movable frame 13 is appropriately adjusted, and bolts 15, 15 are fastened and fixed by nuts 16, 16.

[0017] The bolts 15, 15 serving as the pull-out direction guide shaft members guide the locking claw support 10 relative to the guide 20 along the pull-out direction and the direction opposite to the pull-out direction (both directions of the Z axis). Two of these pulling direction guide shaft members are provided, one at each end of the grip G. This makes it easier to secure space for the grip G and makes it easier to efficiently transmit the pulling force from the grip G to the hook portions 11, 11.

[0018] The nuts 16, 16 also function as restriction members to prevent pinching. That is, the nuts 16, 16 function as restricting members for preventing entrapment, which maintain the gap C between the grip component G1, which is part of the locking claw support 10 and constitutes the grip G, and the grip component G2, which is part of the guide 20 and constitutes the grip G. Even when the grip G is gripped, the gap C is maintained by the height of the nuts 16, 16 (see FIG. 4). This makes it difficult for the hand to be pinched, and prevents injury or pain to the user.

[0019] The lower end faces 20c, 20c of the legs 20a, 20a of the guide 20 correspond to the end face that is engaged with the first member 80 in the opposite direction to the pulling-out direction (the negative direction of the Z axis). The two bolts 15, 15 serving as the pulling-out direction guide shaft members described above slide into the pulling-out direction guide holes 20b, 20b, whereby the guide 20 guides the locking claw support body 10 along the pulling-out direction Z and the direction opposite to the pulling-out direction Z.

[0020] Now, the procedure for the extraction operation using the extraction tool 1 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the two hook portions 11, 11 are brought close to each other at approximately the center, if necessary abutting each other, so that they can be inserted into the second member 90, and then inserted into the cylindrical structure of the second member 90. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the hook portions 11, 11 are pulled away from each other, so that the locking claws 11a, 11a enter the communication holes 91, 91. 4, gripping hand G is held by hand H, and the second member 90 is pulled out from the hole 81 of the first member 80. At this time, a pulling force F1 is generated by the gripping force of hand H, and is applied to the pulling tool 1. The pulling force F1 is applied to the second member 90, and a reaction force F2 is applied from the lower end faces 20c, 20c to the upper face of the first member 80, so that the guide 20 does not move relative to the first member 80, and the locking claw support body 10 including the hook portions 11, 11 moves in the Z direction relative to the first member 80, and the second member 90 can be pulled out from the first member 80. As described above, the extraction work can be carried out quickly and with good workability. In the removal tool 1 of this embodiment, a grip G is provided on the locking claw support 10 and the guide 20, which is capable of applying a removal force to move the locking claw support 10 in the removal direction Z relative to the guide 20 and remove the first member 80 when gripped. This makes it possible to perform the above-mentioned removal operation.

[0021] As described above, according to the removal tool 1 of the present embodiment, the removal operation for separating two members that fit together can be performed quickly, and the workability is excellent. Furthermore, when there is a next pulling-out operation, the locking claw support 10 can be slid down (moved) relative to the guide 20, so that the next pulling-out operation can be started quickly and the pulling-out operation can be completed quickly. It is also possible to perform the pulling-out operation repeatedly within a short period of time. Therefore, according to the extraction tool 1 of the present embodiment, the workability of the extraction work by the extraction tool can be improved.

[0022] The extraction tool 1 of the above embodiment is configured to extract a second member that fits inside a first member. Regardless of this, the present invention may be configured and implemented for use in extracting a second member that fits outside a first member. For example, a bearing that fits onto a shaft. In this case, the locking claws may be oriented inward, and a structure may be added to the lower end of the guide so that it can lock onto (contact) the first member. Moreover, the shape of the locking claw may be designed appropriately to match the shape of the engaging portion of the second member. [Explanation of symbols]
