In order to control the tightness of the position adjustment of the adapter 2, when the locking piece 3 is loosened, the adapter 2 can move along the first strip hole 102, and when the locking piece 3 is locked, the adapter 2 cannot move along the first strip hole 102.

[0035] It can be understood that the length between the arm plate 1 and the adapter 2 is the length of the traditional reaction arm, and the workpiece connected below the adapter 2 corresponds to the height of the traditional reaction arm, and its length range is adjustable, and the height can be adjusted according to the replacement of the workpiece, so that it can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual usage. Among them, the workpiece is a sleeve of a torque wrench. Since the position of the adapter 2 is adjustable, the sleeve on the adapter 2 can be connected to the adjacent bolt to form a more stable limiting effect.

[0036] The fitting hole 101 is provided with a spline for fitting onto the electric torque wrench 7 and preventing rotation.

[0037] It can be understood that on the existing torque wrench, a spline is provided near the outer circumference of the torque square shaft, which can be used to install the reaction arm, and the set hole 101 corresponds to this position for installing the limit arm.

[0038] In this embodiment, in order to have the functions of movement, adjustment and switching, the adapter 2 includes a screw 21, a limit ring 22 and a square column 23, and the screw 21 and the square column 23 are respectively arranged at the top and bottom ends of the limit ring 22, wherein the screw 21 is slidably connected to the first strip hole 102, the screw 21 passes through the first strip hole 102 from bottom to top, and can slide along the length direction of the first strip hole 102, the limit ring 22 is attached to the bottom of the arm plate 1, and the outer diameter of the limit ring 22 is larger than the width of the strip hole 102, thereby forming a bottom limit of the adapter 2.

[0039] Furthermore, the locking member 3 includes a nut 31, which is threadedly connected to the screw rod 21 and fits on the top of the arm plate 1, wherein the outer width of the nut 31 is greater than the width of the strip hole 102, thereby forming a top limit of the adapter 2. When the nut 31 is tightened, it can fit tightly against the upper surface of the arm plate 1, thereby cooperating with the limit ring 22 to lock the adapter 2 on the arm plate 1, otherwise, the adapter 2 is released.

[0040] The locking member 3 further includes a gasket 32, which is sleeved on the screw rod 21 and located between the nut 31 and the opposite side of the arm plate 1 to prevent the locked nut 31 from slipping and improve the locking stability.

[0041] It can be understood that the screw 21 on the adapter 2 can also be replaced by a square column, which is fitted on the front and rear side walls of the strip hole to prevent torsion. Correspondingly, the locking member 3 can be a bolt, with a hole opened on the top of the square column. The head of the bolt moves downward and fits tightly against the upper surface of the arm plate 1, forming an upper and lower locking with the limit ring 22 below the arm plate 1.

Similarly, it can be snapped onto the square column 23, and a second strip hole 502 is provided on the extension arm 5, and the second strip hole 502 is equal in width to the first strip hole 102. The adapter 2 and the locking member 3 can be installed, and the extension frame 4 can be further installed, or another extension arm 5 can be added, and the combinability is high.

[0044] In this embodiment, the adjustable limit arm also includes an anti-slip component 6, which is used to enhance the stability of the extension arm 5 after installation. The anti-slip component 6 is sleeved between the extension arm 5 and the outer side of the arm plate 1 to prevent the extension arm 5 from detaching from the arm plate 1.

[0045] Specifically, the anti-slip component 6 includes a sleeve 61 and a locking bolt 62. The sleeve 61 is sleeved between the extension arm 5 and the outer side of the arm plate 1, and a screw hole 601 is opened on the top of the sleeve 61. The locking bolt 62 is threadedly connected in the screw hole 601, and penetrates downward and fits tightly with the top of the screw rod 21 to form a sleeve position locking.

[0046] Wherein, the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the sleeve 61 are both provided with anti-slip pads.

[0047] The specific working process of the utility model is as follows: when in use, the position of the adapter 2 is adjusted according to the spacing between the bolts, and locked with the locking piece 3, and then the extension frame 4 is installed to achieve the effect of the reaction arm; when the length is insufficient, the adapter 2 can be slid along the first strip hole 102; when the length of the arm plate 1 cannot meet the spacing length between the bolts, the extension arm 5 is docked with the adapter 2, and the anti-dropping piece 6 is installed, and then the adapter 2 is installed in the second strip hole 502, and the extension frame 4 is docked; when the height cannot act on the wall panel or bolt below, the extension frame 4 is disassembled and replaced with an extension frame 4 that meets the height condition.

[0048] The entire workflow is completed, and the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field.
