BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, wherein:

[0020] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the wrench structure of the present invention;

[0021] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the present invention in use. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientation, such as orientation or positional relationship indicated as up, down, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means more than two. If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 A special wrench for the height adjustment valve joint of a train unit includes a handle 1, one end of the handle 1 is connected to a wrench head 2 through a turning body 3. In order to ensure the firmness of the product, the handle 1 is welded and fixed to the wrench head 2 through the turning body 3. The handle 1 and the wrench head 2 are parallel to each other, and the opening of the wrench head 2 faces the other end of the handle 1, that is, the wrench head 2 is reversely installed. The distance between the handle 1 and the wrench head 2 is 8 to 12 mm, and the optimal distance is 10 mm. The reverse installation of the wrench head 2 can avoid interference at one end of the handle that is too long and cannot perform disassembly and tightening operations. If there is interference from the upper side, it can be adjusted to the lower side for operation, which can smoothly avoid the limited working space at the interference end.

[0027] The opening of the wrench head 2 is a common and commonly used fixed-size opening for screwing a nut, and the size is 17 mm.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 The other end of the handle 1 is provided with an adapter 4 for connecting the torque wrench. The adapter 4 is a rectangular parallelepiped inserted into the torque wrench, and its dimensions are 23 mm in length, 12 mm in width, and 8 mm in thickness.

[0029] The opening of the wrench head 2 can be clamped on the torque tester adapter 5. The torque tester adapter 5 is composed of an M10 bolt head 51 and a 20mm long fixing column 52. The fixing column is a rectangular parallelepiped with a width of 13mm, and a telescopic marble 53 with a diameter of 5mm is embedded in one side for limiting clamping.

[0030] The handle 1 is 85 mm long. For ease of use, an extended sleeve rod 6 can be used to insert into the handle 1 for tightening or disassembly. The extended sleeve rod 6 is a round sleeve with a length of 158 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm.

[0031] A method for using a special wrench for a height adjustment valve joint of a train unit, comprising the following steps:

[0032] Step 1), insert the adapter 4 at one end of the wrench into the torque wrench, insert the matching torque tester adapter 5 into the torque tester, insert the opening of the wrench head 2 into the bolt head 51 on the torque tester adapter 5, and use a uniform force to bend the torque wrench so that the torque value on the torque tester is displayed as 25N·m;

[0033] Step 2), insert the opening of the wrench head 2 downward from the upper part of the height adjustment valve joint, and insert the extended sleeve rod 6 into the handle 1 to disassemble or tighten the joint;

[0034] Step 3), when tightening, insert the adapter 4 at one end of the wrench into the torque wrench, use the torque wrench to apply a torque of 25N·m for tightening, and a clear click sound can be heard when the torque wrench is turned, indicating that the required torque has been applied.

[0035] The design utilizes the reverse opening of the wrench to simply and smoothly engage in positioning and disassembly from the upper portion of the height adjustment valve joint. Although the space between the upper portion of the joint and the vehicle body is small, it does not hinder the use of the wrench for disassembly or installation. The wrench enables the opening to engage in positioning from the upper portion of the joint, and the handle to disassemble or install from the lower portion of the joint.

[0036] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. It should be understood that a person skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes based on the concept of the present invention without creative work. Therefore, any technical solution that can be obtained by a person skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the concept of the present invention on the basis of the prior art should be within the scope of protection determined by the claims.
