To and narrate embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings by example below.Accompanying drawing comprises:
Fig. 1 is the backplan of an embodiment of tin opener of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is the section-drawing along X-X line among Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is the partial enlarged drawing of Fig. 2, is depicted as the detailed structure of the jar edge and the shearing wheel of the present invention that are in clipped position;
Fig. 4 is a partial view embodiment illustrated in fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is the part sectional view along Y-Y line among Fig. 2;
Fig. 6 a is that Fig. 6 b is the part sectional view of jar edge after cutting not by the part sectional view of the jar edge of tin opener incision among Fig. 1-5.
Fig. 6 a is depicted as can C to be opened, and it has the upright edge R along circumference, and edge has towards the top T of top with towards the bottom of below U.Edge R be by the end wall E of jar and jar the circumferential edges of end of the sidewall S part that coincides constitute.
Tin opener shown in the figure can be gripped by hand of user, and it comprises relatively large first base portion 1 and relative less second base portion 3 that has clamping lever part 4 that has handle portion 2 of size.Two base portions 1,3 are respectively casting spares.In the U type dimple of the bottom surface of main body 1, be equipped with screw 6 and be fixed on die cast metal inserts 5 on the main body 1.Connector bushing 5A on the inserts 5 passes two base portions two base portions is linked together in rotating repeatedly dress mode.
Two base portions 1,3 of tin opener can be done between relative off position and open position and relatively rotate, abut against each other at the handle 4 of graphic off position main body 3 and the handle 2 of main body 1, do not having two handles of graphic open position to remove.
Do rotatable the installation on the axle sleeve 9 of shearing wheel 7 in the groove 9A of damascene part 5.Shearing wheel 7 comprises ring-type shear blade body 10 that protrudes groove 9A and the flange 11 that outwards extends bottom.Sword body 10 comprises two inclined-plane 10a and 10b, and as Fig. 3, intersection, two inclined-planes forms shear blade.These two parts are asymmetric, and promptly first half 10a inclination angle is less, and for example the angle with horizontal surface is 5 °, and lower part 10b is relative, and horizontal surface is steeper, and angle is preferably in about 55 ° between 45 °-65 °.It is good and shearing force is minimum that such configuration is proved the durability of shear blade.Also having its effect of inclined-plane 7a on shearing wheel 10a part is to produce a gap between shearing wheel and drive wheel, and this point back also can be described in detail.
Shearing wheel also has the 10c part below sword body portion 10, it to evagination, forms the inclined-plane on away from the direction of shear blade.This section band gradient part 10c is connected with foregoing flange 11 by the short less band gradient part 10d of gradient.
The leaning angle of chamfered portion 10c and shearing wheel longitudinal axis can be between 5 ° to 20 °, and the leaning angle of chamfered portion 10d can be between 25 ° to 35 °.
Flange 11 has the outer ring surface 11a parallel with the shearing wheel longitudinal axis.
Drive wheel 12 is included in the bearing pin 13 that passes main body 1 away from handle one end.Bearing pin 13 can rotate in axle sleeve 14.T type handwheel 15 is equipped with rotating drive wheel 12 in the top of bearing pin 13, between the bottom surface of handwheel 15 and first base portion 1 and its facing surfaces split circlip and spring washer is housed.Drive wheel 12 comprises down frusto-conical portion 17, as shown in Figure 3.
Can a jar edge R all be arranged for most of can of consumption at present, about 8 ° to 10 ° of the vertical axis deflection of its medial surface and jar.We find suitably to select the shape of drive wheel frusto-conical portion 17, so that make the crooked or angle bigger than this angle of deflection laterally of jar edge R when shearing, frictional engagement power residual between the jar edge wall of otch both sides can be destroyed.This flecition also can be destroyed glue or similar sealer and jar interior plastics or the similar coating material in jar edge.Thereby the oblique angle of 17 parts should be chosen as at least greater than about 10 °.The maximum inclination angle should make under this angle a crooked jar edge should not cause drive wheel to rotate effort, and this point is even more important, because of tin opener is a type hand.
Frusto-conical portion 17 has rib line 18 makes it have Clamping force.
Consult Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the bottom surface of base portion 1 be equipped with substantially be the back plate 20 of plane U type, the centre portion 21 of U template be recessed into and perforate is arranged so that foregoing bearing pin 13 therefrom passes.The center that drive wheel 12 is contained in the U type reaches than the more lower slightly position of U template lowest surfaces.
As shown in Figure 4, shearing wheel partly is between two opening arms of U type when base portion is in the closed position, forms a gap d-d to put a jar edge R between two-wheeled.
As shown in Figure 5, back plate 20 has two opposed ends 22 as U type two ends arm.Its edge R is between drive wheel 12 and the shearing wheel 7 when can is put into, and the top that end 22 leans against jar with contact point 23 and 24 is to guarantee lid or the end E of drive wheel axis perpendicular to jar.Contact point on the shearing point both sides has produced the downward pressure of crossing over drive wheel, and this power is illustrated as acting on the antagonistic force F/2 of the power F that makes progress that the balance shear history produces on each contact point in the drawings.
But be appreciated that curvature owing to jar, and the offset d-d between power F and the F/2, jar has the bevelled possibility, shown in arrow A among Fig. 4.The band gradient surface 10c of shearing wheel is close to the undesirable inclination rotation that jar edge can prevent that these factors from causing.Because be adjacent to a little is to lean against on jar edge rather than on the thin-walled of jar, jar can not be out of shape so can stop this inclination to be rotated.Owing to prevented the inclination of jar, jar edge can remain on stable position thereby shear blade can be sheared in correct position, distance edge top.
As shown in the figure, the axis vertical or rotation axis and drive wheel and tank body of shearing wheel is inclined to about 8 ° angle D mutually.
During use, the user at first rotates base portion to open position, and the edge R of jar C is placed gap between drive wheel and the shearing wheel, and promptly blade clearance d-d (Fig. 3) makes two base portions forward graphic closed condition to as using scissors then.
Forward closed condition fully to base portion, the top in shear blade contact and the incision jar edge R outside, frusto-conical portion 17 is supporting edge from the inside face of edge, and simultaneously the band gradient part 10c of shearing point below engages with the outside of edge R and it is applied to the inside power (Fig. 3).Two handle portions involutory plays locking action, and to prevent to act on power on the edge excessive and the horizontal clearance between drive wheel and the shearing wheel remained on fixing distance.
Drive passive shearing wheel when drive wheel 12 rotates, and owing to have the otch that shear blade 10 cuts out the spiral jar edge of incision vertically downward of existing of angle " D " the top margin T of edge upwards to be separated with the bottom of edge R until sword body portion 10a.Shearing wheel is proceeded to shear, and maintenance is parallel with the top of edge, and shear blade 10 can be separated end wall E and sidewall S notching edge in the mode of agricultural ploughshare.Frusto-conical portion 17 applies an outside downward component of force that makes edge R distortion or bending together with shear blade 10 to the jar edge, and the antagonistic force that surperficial 10c applied simultaneously also can strengthen being cut the separating effect of edge.Such power is synthetic can to remain on the jar edge settling position thereby shear blade 10 effectively and can cut off the outer of R and make and be cut part T and upwarp.Then can be with opener by taking off on the can, lid can be taken with hand and to stay bright and clean sheared edge.
Fig. 6 a and Fig. 6 b are depicted as before the unlatching and the contrast of the can after opening.Can know by Fig. 6 b and to see, shear trailing edge and produced appropriate distortion thereby only just end wall E can have been need not to use other accessories by taking off on the tank body with hand.
