[0017] In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0018] The double ratchet handle is a common two-way ratchet screwdriver handle on the market. It makes it easy to rotate the screwdriver head through the double ratchet handle, which makes it easier to disassemble and install screws, making it more convenient and labor-saving to remove screws.
[0019] The universal flexible shaft 1 is a common flexible connecting shaft on the market. By connecting with a double ratchet handle, the universal flexible shaft 1 can be driven to rotate by turning the double ratchet handle. At the same time, the 360° adjustable feature of the universal flexible shaft 1 is utilized to facilitate inserting the screwdriver head into a narrow working environment to disassemble and install screws.
[0020] The double-headed screwdriver head 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 2 opened at one end of the universal flexible shaft 1 away from the double ratchet handle through the rotating shaft 3, so that the double-headed screwdriver head 4 can rotate in the rotating groove 2 with the rotating shaft 3 as the axis, thereby realizing the replacement of the flat screwdriver head and the plum screwdriver head. When one end of the double-headed screwdriver head 4 is in the rotating groove 2, the other end partially protrudes out of the rotating groove 2, which is convenient for disassembling and assembling the screw through the part of the double-headed screwdriver head 4 that exceeds the rotating groove 2. The two ends of the double-headed screwdriver head 4 are magnetic, which is convenient for adsorbing the screws, and then convenient for disassembling and assembling the screws.
[0021] The limiting cylinder 5 is sleeved on the end of the universal flexible shaft 1 away from the double ratchet handle, so as to limit the part of the double-headed screwdriver head 4 that rotates into the rotating groove 2, thereby preventing the double-headed screwdriver head 4 from rotating when removing the screw, thereby affecting the removal of the screw.
[0022] The limit block 6 has a T-shaped vertical section, and one end is welded to the limit cylinder 5 or detachably connected by bolts, so that the limit block 6 and the limit cylinder 5 are connected together to achieve simultaneous movement. The other end of the limit block 6 extends to the rotation groove 2, and when one end of the double-headed screwdriver head 4 rotates into the rotation groove 2, the limit cylinder 5 is lowered, and the limit block 6 contacts the double-headed screwdriver head 4, so that the double-headed screwdriver head 4 is further limited by the limit block 6 to prevent the double-headed screwdriver head 4 from continuing to rotate in the rotation groove 2.
[0023] The limiting groove 7 is provided on the universal flexible shaft 1 and is connected with the rotating groove 2, so that when the limiting cylinder 5 drives the limiting block 6 to move, the limiting block 6 can rotate from the rotating groove 2 to the limiting groove 7, thereby realizing the release of the double-headed screwdriver head 4 in the rotating groove 2 by the limiting cylinder 5, thereby facilitating the rotation of the double-headed screwdriver head 4; when the limiting block 6 moves from the limiting groove 7 to the rotating groove 2, the double-headed screwdriver head 4 is limited to avoid the rotation of the double-headed screwdriver head 4.
[0024] A reset spring 9 and an inner wall of the limit cylinder 5 are provided with an accommodation groove 8, in which the reset spring 9 is arranged, and one end of the reset spring 9 is inserted into a groove structure formed between the limit block 6 and the inner wall of the limit cylinder 5, so that the reset spring 9 provides elastic force for the limit cylinder 5, so that the limit cylinder 5 always covers the outside of the universal flexible shaft 1 out of the rotating groove 2 only under the elastic force of the reset spring 9 to limit the double-headed screwdriver head 4 in the rotating groove 2.
[0025] The limiting rod 10 is arranged in the universal flexible shaft 1 and is located in the universal flexible shaft 1 at one end of the limiting groove 7 away from the rotating groove 2. One end of the limiting rod 10 extends into the placement groove 8, and one end of the reset spring 9 conflicts with the limiting rod 10, and then the other end of the reset spring 9 is limited by the limiting rod 10, so that when the limiting cylinder 5 drives the limiting block 6 to move in the limiting groove 7, the reset spring 9 is in a compressed state, which is convenient for the reset spring 9 to push the limiting cylinder 5 to return to its original position after rotating the double-headed screwdriver head 4.
[0026] The guide groove 11 is provided in the receiving groove 8, and one end of the limit rod 10 is also in the guide groove 11, so that the moving direction and distance of the limit cylinder 5 are limited by the limit rod 10 being slidably connected in the guide groove 11, so that the limit cylinder 5 can only move a certain distance along the length direction of the universal flexible shaft 1, thereby preventing the limit cylinder 5 from rotating relative to the universal flexible shaft 1.
[0027] The illuminating lamp 12 is composed of LED lamp beads, and the universal flexible shaft 1 of the mounting seat is away from one end of the double ratchet handle, so that the illuminating lamp 12 can be used to illuminate the working surface, which is convenient for disassembling and installing screws in a narrow space. The double ratchet handle is provided with a switch and a battery electrically connected to the illuminating lamp 12 through a conductive slip ring, so that the illuminating lamp 12 can be controlled by the switch, and the illuminating lamp 12 is provided with power by the battery.
