Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of manual tightening and loosening tools, in particular to a dual-purpose ratchet wrench. Background Art

[0002] A ratchet wrench is a common manual tightening tool that has the flexibility of operation and the ability to freely reciprocate to loosen bolts, nuts or similar components. Therefore, it has replaced traditional wrenches in many situations.

[0003] During use, a large number of bolts and nuts need to be tightened and loosened, and a ratchet wrench is needed to tighten and loosen the bolts or nuts. Among them, when the size of the bolts or nuts is large or the operating space is small, the ratchet wrench is often limited by dead angles or narrow spaces, so that the ratchet head of the ratchet wrench cannot be adjusted and cannot be smoothly screwed into the workpiece. In addition, when it is necessary to operate the bolts or nuts at a long distance, it is difficult to use a ratchet wrench, and a T-type ratchet wrench is needed to tighten and loosen the bolts or nuts.

[0004] Ratchet wrenches and T-type ratchet wrenches are common manual tightening tools and usually need to be carried together. However, carrying both ratchet wrenches and T-type ratchet wrenches at the same time not only takes up a large space and is inconvenient to carry, but also has a high production cost for producing the two types of wrenches. At the same time, in actual maintenance, workers need to switch back and forth between the ratchet wrench and the T-type ratchet wrench in order to meet the different requirements for loading and unloading of bolts or nuts, which increases the time for changing wrenches and results in low work efficiency.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a dual-purpose ratchet wrench, comprising a ratchet wrench body 1 and a wrench socket 2, wherein the ratchet wrench body 1 comprises:

[0026] A handle 3, wherein a rod groove 7 is formed on the handle 3, and an elastic adjusting member 134 is disposed in the rod groove 7;

[0027] A plate rod 5, wherein a gear end 6 is provided at the tail end of the plate rod 5, and the gear end 6 is pivotally connected in a rod slot 7, and a U-shaped opening 8 is provided at the other end of the plate rod 5;

[0028] A ratchet head 9 is pivotally connected in the opening 8 , and the ratchet head 9 includes a ratchet reversing drive mechanism 10 arranged in the ratchet head 9 and an adjusting knob 11 arranged on the ratchet head 9 .

[0029] By pivoting the ratchet head 9 in the opening 8, it can rotate along the axis in the opening 8, which facilitates operation in different directions; the adjustment knob 11 is used to control the forward and reverse directions of the ratchet reversing drive mechanism 10, which increases the convenience of use and improves work efficiency.

[0030] The elastic adjusting member 134 includes an elastic member 12 and an adjusting member 13 . A groove 14 is provided in the rod groove 7 . The elastic member 12 is disposed in the groove 14 and connected to the adjusting member 13 . The adjusting member 13 is elastically engaged with the gear end 6 .

[0031] The function of the elastic member 12 is to provide elastic force so that the adjusting member 13 can be elastically engaged with the gear end 6, thereby realizing the rotation of the plate rod 5 at different angles.

[0032] The plate rod 5 cooperates with the handle 3 through the elastic adjusting member 134 to rotate in the rod groove 7 to form a T-shaped ratchet wrench.

[0033] The design of the T-shaped ratchet wrench formed by rotating the plate rod 5 can provide better leverage and force transmission when in use, increasing the torque output of the wrench. At the same time, the T-shaped design also makes the wrench easier to operate in narrow spaces or hard-to-reach locations.

[0034] The ratchet head 9 is provided with a driving square head 15 , and the wrench socket 2 is sleeved on the driving square head 15 .

[0035] The driving square head 15 can be mounted with wrench sockets 2 of different types.

[0036] The design of the driving square head 15 is convenient for connection with the wrench socket 2, so that the wrench can be used with wrench sockets 2 of different specifications and models, thereby increasing the versatility and applicability of the tool.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when in use, the wrench sleeve 2 is sleeved on the driving square head 15 of the ratchet head 9, and the appropriate angle is selected as needed to adjust the direction of the ratchet head 9. When it is necessary to switch to a T-type ratchet wrench, the plate rod 5 is pulled out of the rod groove 7 and rotated. The elastic member 12 arranged in the groove 14 cooperates with the adjusting member 13 to elastically engage with the gear end 6, so that when the plate rod 5 rotates, it can be rotated or stopped at any time; when the T-type ratchet wrench is not in use, the plate rod 5 needs to be pushed back into the rod groove 7.

[0038] In the present utility model, the ratchet reversing drive mechanism 10 and the adjusting knob 11 are commonly used technical means by those skilled in the art, and have been marked in the accompanying drawings, so they are not described in detail.

[0039] In the present utility model, the wrench sleeve 2 is a commonly used component by people in this field, so it is not reflected in the drawings.

[0040] In the description of this specification, reference is made to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", etc.

[0041] The description of "example" or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in combination with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the utility model. In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0042] The standard parts used in the present invention can all be purchased from the market, and special-shaped parts can be customized according to the description in the specification and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional means such as mature bolts, rivets, welding, and bonding in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0043] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, various changes and variations can be made in the specific implementation methods and application scopes based on the ideas of the present invention.
