[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The multifunctional wrench disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention comprises a handle 1, a movable jaw assembly 2, a nut sleeve 3 and a reducing structure. By setting the reducing structure, the size of the nut sleeve 3 is adjustable, so as to adapt to nuts or bolts of different sizes.

[0021] A movable jaw assembly 2 is provided at one end of the handle 1 for clamping or screwing a bolt or nut; a nut sleeve 3 is provided at the other end for screwing a hexagonal nut. The nut sleeve 3 is a regular hexagonal structure and can match a standard hexagonal nut. A reducing structure is provided inside the nut sleeve 3 for adjusting the sleeve size to adapt to a nut of a smaller size.

[0022] The reducing structure includes a slide 7, a fork block 6 and a rotating shaft 11. The slide 7 is arranged inside the handle 1 and leads to the nut sleeve 3. The slide 7 provides a sliding space for the fork block 6 so that the fork block 6 can move forward and backward along the slide 7. The fork block 6 is slidably fitted in the slide 7, and its fork mouth can extend into the nut sleeve 3. A U-shaped groove is provided on the side of the fork block 6 facing away from the fork mouth, and a shifting tooth 12 is provided in the U-shaped groove. The fork mouth of the fork block 6 faces straight ahead and is opposite to one of the inner corners of the nut sleeve 3, ensuring that the fork block 6 can effectively tighten the nut sleeve 3. The rotating shaft 11 is rotatably assembled in the slide 7, and a spiral toggle portion 4 is provided on its cylindrical surface, and the spiral toggle portion 4 cooperates with the shifting tooth 12 of the fork block 6. A gear 10 is provided at the tail of the rotating shaft 11, and the gear 10 matches the toggle-type limiter 5.

[0023] The spiral shifting portion 4 of the rotating shaft 11 cooperates with the shifting teeth 12 of the fork block 6 to realize the forward and backward movement of the fork block 6:

[0024] When the rotating shaft 11 rotates forward, the spiral shifting part 4 shifts the shifting tooth 12, driving the fork block 6 to move forward along the slide 7, so that the fork mouth of the fork block 6 extends to a suitable position in the nut sleeve 3; when the rotating shaft 11 rotates reversely, the spiral shifting part 4 shifts the shifting tooth 12, driving the fork block 6 to move backward along the slide 7, so that the fork mouth of the fork block 6 retreats to a suitable position.

[0025] The toggle limiter 5 is used to lock or unlock the rotating shaft 11: when the position of the fork block 6 needs to be adjusted, the toggle end of the toggle limiter 5 is toggled backward to disengage the limit rod from the tooth groove of the gear 10 of the rotating shaft 11, thereby unlocking the rotating shaft 11; when the fork block 6 is moved into place, the toggle end of the toggle limiter 5 is toggled forward to insert the limit rod into the tooth groove of the gear 10 of the rotating shaft 11, thereby locking the rotating shaft 11 and fixing the position of the fork block 6.

[0026] For easy operation, mounting hole I8 and mounting hole II9 are provided. Mounting hole I8 is a through hole that runs through the front and back sides of the handle 1. The spiral toggle portion 4 is located in the mounting hole I8 and protrudes outside the two ends of the mounting hole I8, which is convenient for the user to operate the rotating shaft 11. The mounting hole II9 leads to the inside of the slideway 7. The toggle end of the toggle-type limiter 5 is located outside the mounting hole II9. The user can control the insertion or disengagement of the limiter plug by toggling the toggle end forward and backward.

[0027] The method of using the present invention includes:

[0028] 1) Adjust the position of fork block 6:

[0029] The toggle end of the toggle limiter 5 is toggled backward to unlock the rotating shaft 11. The rotating shaft 11 is rotated forward or reversely to drive the fork block 6 to move forward or backward along the slideway 7, so that the fork mouth of the fork block 6 extends to a suitable position in the nut sleeve 3. The toggle end of the toggle limiter 5 is toggled forward to lock the rotating shaft 11 and fix the position of the fork block 6.

[0030] 2) Tighten the nut:

[0031] When the nut size matches the nut sleeve 3, the fork block 6 is retracted into the slideway 7, and the nut is directly screwed using the nut sleeve 3. When the nut size is smaller, the position of the fork block 6 is adjusted so that the fork portion of the fork block 6 extends into the nut sleeve 3, and the nut is screwed in cooperation with a portion of the nut sleeve 3 located in front.

[0032] Take the example of tightening hexagon nuts of different sizes:

[0033] For hexagonal nuts of standard size, there is no need to adjust the fork block 6, and the nut sleeve 3 is directly used to twist. For hexagonal nuts of smaller size, the rotating shaft 11 is rotated so that the fork portion of the fork block 6 extends to the appropriate position in the nut sleeve 3 to clamp the nut and twist it.

[0034] Through the above structure and method, the multifunctional wrench of the present invention can quickly and accurately adjust the size of the nut sleeve 3 to adapt to nuts or bolts of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility and use efficiency of the tool.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
