Manual Press-Fit Tool With Interchangeable Heads and Concentric Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing button pliers have a single function, are not adaptable to different specifications, and often result in inconsistent concentricity of press-fit portions, leading to waste and increased production costs.
Innovation Solution
A manual press-fit tool with a handle assembly, connecting assembly, support platform, press-fit assembly, and punching assembly, allowing for interchangeable support platforms and ensuring concentricity through a magnetically connected press-fit assembly, and enabling simultaneous punching and press-fitting operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed button plier is used for a specific specification, then the press-fitting operation can be performed, but the tool cannot be used for objects of different specifications, requiring multiple tools and causing resource waste
Solution Approach 1:
The button plier is designed with interchangeable pressing heads that can be detached and replaced according to different buttonhole specifications. The pressing head includes a pressing portion and a supporting portion, where the supporting portion can be exchanged to adapt to different object sizes. This allows a single tool to perform press-fitting operations on various specifications of buttons, belt buttonholes, and other objects, eliminating the need for multiple specialized tools.
2Ease of operation
If two separate plier bodies are used to drive two press-fit portions, then clamping and press-fitting can be performed, but the concentricity of the two press-fit portions becomes inconsistent, resulting in press-fit offset
Solution Approach 1:
The tool integrates two press-fit portions into a single integrated pressing head structure rather than using two separate plier bodies. The pressing head includes a pressing portion and a supporting portion that work together as one unified component. This integration ensures that the two press-fit portions maintain consistent concentricity and coordinated movement, eliminating the alignment and concentricity problems that occur when using separate plier bodies.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a single-function pressing plier is used, then the press-fitting operation can be performed, but the tool does not have a punching function, requiring additional tools for punching operations
Solution Approach 1:
The button plier is designed with multi-functionality by integrating both pressing and punching capabilities into a single tool. The pressing head can be configured with different portions for pressing operations, and the tool structure allows for punching operations to be performed on the same object. This enables the user to complete both pressing and punching operations sequentially on buttons, belt buttonholes, and other objects without needing to switch to a different tool, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing the number of tools required.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a manual press-fit tool. The manual press-fit tool includes: a handle assembly; a connecting assembly, connected to the handle assembly; a support platform, detachably disposed on the connecting assembly; a press-fit assembly, movably disposed on the connecting assembly in a penetrating manner and disposed opposite to the support platform; and a punching assembly, where one end of the punching assembly is in transmission connection with the handle assembly, and the other end thereof is in transmission connection with the press-fit assembly. The handle assembly is pressed to sequentially drive the punching assembly and the press-fit assembly to move. According to the present invention, the connecting assembly limits and guides the press-fit assembly, so that concentricity of the press-fit assembly and the support platform matched to perform press-fitting is ensured.
