Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fastening tools, and in particular, relates to a ratchet gland wrench and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the high-voltage modules of new energy vehicles are widely tightened by the connection method of cable glands to achieve the sealing of high-voltage modules. The high-voltage module specifically refers to a structure that can convert alternating current and direct current into each other; the cable gland is also called a cable fixing head, which is installed at the connection between the high-voltage line and the high-voltage module. It plays the role of introducing the high-voltage line, fixing the position of the high-voltage line and sealing the connection. Due to the existence of the high-voltage line, it is impossible to use a conventional ratchet wrench to tighten the cable gland; due to the limitations of the high-voltage module's own structure, the spacing between the cable glands is small, and the tightening amplitude is small when using a conventional wrench. During the tightening process, the tool cannot be twisted in a single direction to transmit torque. It is often necessary to loosen and lift the wrench from the cable gland, re-clamp it, and twist the wrench again. This requires multiple reciprocating clamping, long tightening time, and low operating efficiency; during the tightening process, it does not have torque monitoring and data collection functions, the assembly torque cannot be guaranteed, and the tightening accuracy requirements of the designed cable gland cannot be met, and the assembly quality is low. The sizes of the glands are different, and the tooth angle of the existing open ratchet wrench is fixed, which cannot ensure that the gland nuts of various specifications can be tightly fitted, affecting the tightening efficiency and quality. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a ratchet gland wrench and a method for using the same. The ratchet principle is used to adopt a mechanical structure of a movable open-end pliers and a high-strength elastic leaf spring. With the help of force transmission during the rotation of the wrench, the wrench does not need to leave the gland when it rotates to the physical limit. It only needs to rotate the wrench in the opposite direction to pull the leaf spring away from the movable jaw assembly, so that the movable jaw assembly loosens the gland. After the wrench reaches the physical limit, no external force is applied to the leaf spring. The leaf spring automatically presses the movable rod jaw assembly again due to its own elastic force, and the gland continues to be clamped. The wrench can continue to twist in the clockwise direction to transmit torque, and the purpose of small space adjustment and fixation can be achieved without lifting and leaving the gland nut. The torque monitoring and data collection purposes can be achieved through the torque wrench. When the predetermined torque is reached, it can stop and ensure the tightening accuracy. The manufacturing cost of the movable ratchet tightening head is low, and it can be quickly plugged and fixed on the torque wrench. A variety of matching tightening heads are prefabricated according to the specifications of the gland nut. A suitable tightening head is selected before the tightening work starts, and the qualified flange nut is completely attached, thereby improving work efficiency and ensuring the tightening quality.

[0006] The connection between the movable ratchet tightening head and the torque wrench of the present invention is detachable, and the rear part of the movable ratchet tightening head is matched and plugged into the rectangular plug-in cavity of the front plug-in part of the torque wrench, and is fixed by the cooperation of the pin shaft and the shaft sleeve. The cooperation of the pin shaft and the shaft sleeve can provide stable support and positioning, reduce friction and wear, and extend the service life. In actual work, the operator can select a matching movable ratchet tightening head and a torque wrench to plug and fix according to the gland model. The torque wrench can monitor the torque and collect torque data during operation, and stop the operation when the predetermined torque is reached to ensure the quality of assembly. The movable ratchet tightening head of the present invention includes an open jaw assembly and an elastic assembly, and the front opening assembly is composed of a fixed jaw assembly and a movable jaw assembly hingedly connected, and the front ends of the two constitute a C-shaped movable opening structure.

After the movable arc-shaped jaw 1.122 is subjected to the reverse steering force, the leaf spring 1.21 is pulled away from the movable arc-shaped jaw 1.122 by the reverse external force. The movable arc-shaped jaw 1.122 is no longer subjected to the pressure of the leaf spring 1.21 and releases the gland. After the torque wrench 2 is rotated to the limit position, the leaf spring 1.21 is no longer subjected to the external force and automatically presses the movable arc-shaped jaw 1.122 under its own elastic force to re-tighten the gland.

[0063] S13, tighten the ratchet digital display cable gland wrench to the physical limit position again, and repeat the above operation until the value displayed by the torque wrench 2 reaches the target torque.
