Embodiment 1

(18) Now reference is made to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5. This embodiment provides a disconnect tong, which includes a disconnect tong body 30, a first clamping part 10 and a second clamping part 20. The first clamping part 10 is provided with three different first accommodating grooves. The second clamping part 20 is provided with three different second accommodating grooves. An end of the first clamping part 10 and an end of the second clamping part 20 are both connected with the disconnect tong body 30, and a distance between the first clamping part 10 and the second clamping part 20 is variable.

(19) The first clamping part 10 and the second clamping part 20 of the disconnect tong of the disclosure are respectively provided with three different first accommodating grooves and three second accommodating grooves. In this embodiment, the expression “different” here means difference in size, which can be respectively set to be suitable for ⅛ inch pipe, ¼ inch pipe, and ⅜ inch pipe. The three first accommodating grooves and the three second accommodating grooves are all U-shaped grooves with big tops and small bottoms. As shown in FIG. 5, in another possible embodiment, both the first accommodating groove and the second accommodating groove can also be square grooves with big tops and small bottoms, and the three second accommodating grooves connected successively can be designated 210′, 220′ and 230′ in turn. In other embodiments, both the first accommodating groove and the second accommodating groove can also be circular grooves or the like. With three different first and second accommodating grooves provided, the disconnect tong can be applied to pipe fittings with different sizes without replacing a disconnecting tool, which is very convenient.

(20) The disconnect tong of this disclosure is especially suitable for disconnecting the quick joint. And the quick joint is provided with teeth, and when a reaction force is applied, the teeth will be deeply pressed into the pipe to prevent it from being separated from the pipe. The first accommodating groove or the second accommodating groove acts on a part of the quick joint which keeps the teeth in an open state, and correspondingly, the second accommodating groove or the first accommodating groove acts on other fittings, so that the quick joint and other fittings can be quickly and easily disconnected, realizing a quick disconnecting.

(21) In this embodiment, an end of the first clamping part 10 and an end of the second clamping part 20 are both connected with the disconnect tong body 30, and the end of the first clamping part 10 and the end of the second clamping part 20 are connected with the disconnect tong body 30 through a bending section 40 bent inward.

(23) In this embodiment, a diameter of the first accommodating groove closer to the disconnect tong body 30 is smaller, that is to say, a diameter of the first accommodating groove farther away from the disconnect tong body 30 is larger, so as to ensure that a smallest pipe fitting or pipe can smoothly pass through the accommodating grooves on an upper side to reach an accommodating groove closest to the disconnect tong body 30. Furthermore, each of the first accommodating groove has a structure with a big top and a small bottom, which further ensures that a movement of the smallest pipe fitting or pipe is not hindered.

(24) In this embodiment, three first accommodating grooves can be made by cutting from a large U-shaped groove with a big top and a small bottom, and similarly, three second accommodating grooves can be made by cutting from a large U-shaped groove with a big top and a small bottom, and notches of the three first accommodating grooves are located on a same straight line in an axial section (see dashed line in FIG. 4).

(25) In this embodiment, the disconnect tong body 30 includes a first grip portion 310, a connecting portion 330 and a second grip portion 320. Two ends of the first grip portion 310 are respectively connected with an end of the connecting portion 330 and an end of the first clamping part 10, two ends of the second grip portion 320 are respectively connected with the other end of the connecting portion 330 and an end of the second clamping part 20, and a distance between the first clamping part 10 and the second clamping part 20 is controlled by a displacement between the first grip portion 310 and the second grip portion 320. In this embodiment, the first grip portion 310 and the second grip portion 320 are also symmetrically arranged, and wings 311 are provided on both sides of the first grip portion 310 and the second grip portion 320 to increase gripping comfort.

The left hinge piece and the right hinge piece are respectively oppositely provided with arc-shaped grooves 703 for accommodating the bolts. The other end of the left hinge piece and the other end of the right hinge piece are both provided with a groove 702 which has a square structure, and the square groove is used for accommodating the fasteners. Ends of the two left hinge pieces and the two right hinge pieces are provided with through holes 701 for the fasteners to pass through. The right hinge piece and the left hinge piece 70 have the same shape and size.

(37) In this embodiment, two left nipper blades and two right nipper blades are alternately arranged at twos ends of the pivot. Here, the expression “alternately arranged” means that on one side of the disconnect tong, one of left nipper blades intersects with one of the right nipper blades, and on the other side of the disconnect tong, the other of left nipper blades intersects with the other of right nipper blades, which are all in an X-shaped arrangement. Furthermore, on one side of the disconnect tong, if the left nipper blade is arranged outside the right nipper blade, then on the other side of the disconnect tong, the right nipper blade is arranged outside the left nipper blade, so as to increase the firmness.

(38) In this embodiment, the left handle 31 or the right handle 32 further includes a paddle 90. An end of the paddle is fixed to one of the left nipper blades or the right nipper blades through a fastener, and the other end of the paddle is clamped with the right connecting member or the left connecting member, and the paddle may be provided with a bump.
