CLUTCHING JIG
A clutching jig used to disassemble a lens module which includes a lens socket and a lens component mounted to the lens socket by a plurality of buckling pieces of the lens socket abutting a top and a side of the lens component defines a housing having a base. The base has an inserting hole. A bottom of the base has a holding wall for pressing the buckling pieces apart from the lens component. A top of the base has a pair of connecting walls. Two clutching arms are rotatably mounted to the housing. Each of the clutching arms has a fixing plate. An end of a top side of the fixing plate has a holding bar. An end of a bottom side of the fixing plate defines a clutching slice for holding the lens component when the holding bars are urged to approach each other, in disassembly.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a clutching jig, and more particularly to a clutching jig for conveniently disengaging a lens component from a lens socket.
2. The Related Art
Please refer to
An object of the present invention is to provide a clutching jig with a simple structure capable of disassembling a lens module which includes a lens socket and a lens component mounted to the lens socket by a plurality of buckling pieces of the lens socket abutting a top and a side of the lens component defines a housing having a base. The base has an inserting hole at a middle portion thereof with a shape depending on the lens component. A bottom of the base protrudes outwards from a middle thereof to form a holding wall enclosing the inserting hole, with a peripheral shaped depending on the lens socket, for pressing the buckling pieces apart from the lens component. A top of the base extends upwards to form a pair of facing connecting walls which are arranged symmetrical about the inserting hole. Two clutching arms are rotatably mounted to the housing. Each of the clutching arms has a fixing plate mounted between the connecting walls. An end of a top side of the fixing plate extends upwards to form a holding bar aligned with each other and exposing the housing. An end of a bottom side of the fixing plate extends downwardly to form a clutching slice biased from the holding arm. The clutching slice is located in the holding wall and aligned with each other to define a first locating line which is perpendicular to a second locating line defined by the aligned two connecting walls, for holding the lens component when the holding bars are urged to approach each other, in disassembly.
As described above, the lens component partly receives into the inserting hole and the holding wall pushes the bulking pieces of the lens socket away from the lens component The lens component is released by the bulking pieces. After that, the holding bars are urged to approach each other to make the clutching slice clutching the lens component. When the user pulls the clutching jig upwardly, the lens component will be released from the lens socket. So the clutching jig with a simple structure facilitates clutching the lens component out of the lens socket.
The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following description of an embodiment thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
Please refer to
Each of the clutching arms 20 has a rectangular fixing plate 21. The fixing plate 21 is formed with a fixing hole 24 in a substantial middle portion thereof. The fixing plate 21 extends upwards to form a holding bar 22 at an end of a top side thereof, and protrudes downwards to form a clutching slice 23 at an end of a bottom side thereof and biased from the holding arm 20. In this embodiment, the thickness of the fixing plate 21 is substantially half of that of the holding bar 22, and the clutching slice 23 is substantially L-shaped.
With reference to
Referring to
As describe above, the structure of the clutching jig 1 is simple and compact. The operation process of the clutching jig 1 disengaging the lens component 50 from the lens socket 60 is easy and convenient, furthermore, without damaging the fixing structure therebetween. So the clutching jig 1 is excellent and can be used widely.
Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above; various additions, alterations and the like may be made within the scope of the present invention by a person skilled in the art. For example, respective embodiments may be appropriately combined.
Claims
1. A clutching jig adapted to disassemble a lens module which includes a lens socket and a lens component mounted to the lens socket by a plurality of buckling pieces of the lens socket abutting a top and a side of the lens component, comprising:
- a housing having a base, the base having an inserting hole at a middle thereof, with a shape depending on the lens component, a bottom of the base protruding outwards to form a holding wall enclosing the inserting hole, with a peripheral shape depending on the lens socket, for pressing the buckling pieces apart from the lens component, a top of the base extending upwards to form a pair of facing connecting walls which are symmetrical about the inserting hole; and
- two clutching arms mounted to the housing, each of the clutching arms having a fixing plate mounted between the connecting walls, an end of a top side of the fixing plate extending upwards to form a holding bar, an end of a bottom side of the fixing plate extending downwardly to form a clutching slice biased from the holding arm,
- wherein the fixing plates are rotatably mounted between the connecting walls, plate-to-plate abutting each other in an opposite way, the holding bars aligned with each other and exposing the housing, the clutching slices located within the holding wall and aligned with each other to define a a first locating line which is perpendicular to a second locating line defined by the aligned two connecting walls, for holding the lens component when the holding bars are urged to approach each other in disassembly.
2. The clutching jig as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting walls and the fixing plates are formed with connecting holes and fixing holes, respectively, a pivoting rob is provided for fixing the fixing plates with the connecting walls.
3. The clutching jig as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a pair of elastic washers disposed between the fixing plates and the connecting walls, respectively.
4. The clutching jig as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base is rectangular, the connecting walls are arranged along one diagonal line of the base, an inner side of the inserting hole is formed with two notches along the other diagonal line of the base for receiving the clutching slice.
5. The clutching jig as claimed in claim 1, wherein the holding wall is capable of making the buckling pieces abutting the top of the lens component apart from the lens component and has two opposite outer surface extended downwards to form inserting slices for separating the buckling pieces against the sidewall of the lens component from the lens component.
