[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The following is a further detailed description of an embodiment of a simple device for installing bolts in a narrow space according to the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a simple device for bolt installation in a narrow space, comprising a bolt sleeve 1 and a connector 2. The bolt sleeve 1 is used to be sleeved outside the bolt 4 and clamped with the bolt 4, and the connector 2 is connected to the bolt sleeve 1, so that the bolt sleeve 1 can be extended into the narrow space to loosen or tighten the bolt 4.

[0031] Specifically, the bolt sleeve 1 includes a accommodating space with an opening on one side, and at least two radially retractable elastic members 3 are provided on the inner wall near the above opening, which are used to clamp the above bolt 4 when the bolt 4 is located in the above accommodating space to fix the relative position of the bolt 4 in the accommodating space; the connecting member 2 is connected to the above bolt sleeve 1 and is used to adjust the relative position of the above bolt sleeve 1.

[0032] When in use, the connector 2 is adjusted so that the bolt sleeve 1 can be inserted into the installation position of the bolt 4 in the narrow space. When the bolt 4 needs to be installed, the bolt 4 is first clamped into the accommodating space of the bolt sleeve 1, and then the bolt sleeve 1 is extended into the installation position of the bolt 4 by using the connector 2, and then the bolt sleeve 1 is screwed to install and fix the bolt 4; when the bolt 4 needs to be removed, the bolt sleeve 1 is extended into the installation position of the bolt 4 by using the connector 2, and then the bolt 4 is clamped into the accommodating space of the bolt sleeve 1, and the bolt sleeve 1 is screwed to loosen and remove the bolt 4, and the bolt sleeve 1 is moved out from the installation position of the bolt 4, and the bolt 4 is clamped at the same time to be moved out from the installation position together.

[0033] It can be understood that the elastic member 3 can be radially retracted, so that when the elastic member 3 is retracted to the inner wall of the bolt sleeve 1, the bolt 4 can enter the accommodating space from the opening; when the elastic member 3 extends to the inner wall of the bolt sleeve 1, the bolt 4 is clamped in the accommodating space.

[0034] It can be seen that the bolt 4 can be clamped in the accommodating space of the bolt sleeve 1 by the elastic member 3 located in the bolt sleeve 1, which can prevent the bolt from falling into a narrow space before installation or after removal; the bolt sleeve 1 can be extended into a narrow space to install and remove the bolt 4 by the connecting member 2. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, when the installation position of the bolt 4 is located at the crest or trough of the steel corrugated plate, the installation space is narrow and it is difficult to install or remove the bolt 4 using an ordinary wrench. During the installation or removal process, the bolt 4 falls into the trough groove of the arch foot steel corrugated plate and is difficult to remove.

[0035] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the bolt sleeve 1 is provided with limiting grooves corresponding to the elastic member 3 one by one, and the elastic member 3 includes a ball 31 and a spring 32. The ball 31 is clamped in the limiting groove and protrudes to the accommodating space outside the limiting groove; the spring 32 is arranged in the limiting groove and one end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the other end of the spring 32 is abutted against the ball 31, so that the ball 31 can be extended and retracted in and out of the limiting groove.

[0036] It can be understood that the ball 31 is clamped in the limiting groove. When the bolt 4 enters the accommodating space from the opening, the ball 31 is squeezed by the bolt 4, and the spring 32 retracts until the bolt 4 is located in the accommodating space and does not abut against the ball 31. Under the action of the elastic restoring force of the spring 32, the ball 31 protrudes to the accommodating space outside the limiting groove, thereby being clamped with the bolt 4.

[0037] The provision of the ball bearings 31 can reduce the friction between the bolt 4 and the bolt 4 when the bolt 4 enters or leaves the accommodation space.

[0038] It should be noted that when the spring 32 is in a natural state, the ball 31 is clamped in the limiting groove and protrudes into the accommodating space outside the limiting groove. At this time, the range formed by multiple balls 31 protruding into the accommodating space to enclose should be smaller than the outer diameter of the bolt 4.

[0039] In this example, all the elastic members 3 are located in the same plane, and are used to be clamped on the bottom of the bolt 4 when the bolt 4 is located in the accommodating space.

[0040] It can be understood that when the bolt 4 is located in the accommodating space, the elastic member 3 supports the bolt 4 .

[0041] Preferably, the bolt 4 is clamped between the elastic member 3 and the bottom wall of the bolt sleeve 1. The purpose of this arrangement is to prevent the bolt 4 from shaking in the accommodation space and falling out. This arrangement requires that the distance between the elastic member 3 and the bottom wall of the bolt sleeve 1 be adapted to the height of the bolt 4.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the bolt sleeve 1 is a regular hexagon that matches the size of the bolt 4 .

[0043] It can be understood that configuring the bolt sleeve 1 as a regular hexagon that matches the size of the bolt 4 not only facilitates clamping the bolt 4 in the accommodating space, but also facilitates tightening or loosening the bolt 4.

[0044] Of course, the size and shape of the bolt sleeve 1 can be selected accordingly according to the bolt 4, and is not limited to a regular hexagon. For example, in order to facilitate the bolt sleeve 1 to enter a narrow space, the outer shape of the bolt sleeve 1 can be set to a cylindrical shape, and the internal accommodating space can be set to a polygon that matches the bolt 4.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, three elastic members 3 are provided, which are spaced apart on three inner walls of the regular hexagon of the bolt sleeve 1 .

[0046] It can be understood that the number of elastic members 3 can be set as needed, and the greater the number, the greater the external force required for the bolt 4 to enter or leave the accommodation space. In this example, the elastic members 3 are arranged at intervals and are respectively located at the horizontal center of each inner wall, so that when the elastic members 3 are squeezed by the bolt 4 or used to support and hold the bolt 4, the force on the bolt 4 is more uniform.

[0047] In some optional embodiments, the inner diameter of the bolt sleeve 1 is 1 mm larger than the outer diameter of the bolt 4 .

[0048] It can be understood that the purpose of such a setting is to ensure that when the bolt 4 is clamped in the accommodating space by the elastic member 3, it will be loosely matched with the bolt sleeve 1 to avoid excessive friction when the bolt 4 enters or leaves the accommodating space, which will make it inconvenient to install and remove the bolt 4.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, the connecting member 2 includes a telescopic longitudinal rod 21 and a telescopic cross rod 22 , one end of the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 is connected to the bolt sleeve 1 ; the telescopic cross rod 22 is connected to the other end of the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 .

[0050] By extending or shortening the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 and the telescopic cross rod 22, the depth and length of the bolt installation position can be adjusted accordingly, so that the bolt sleeve 1 can accurately reach the installation position, thereby improving the versatility of the simple device.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 and the telescopic transverse rod 22 are detachably connected via a connector 23 .

[0052] In order to further improve the adaptability of the simple device of the present application, the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 and the telescopic cross rod 22 are detachably connected, so that the corresponding rods can be replaced according to different usage environments.

[0053] In this example, the connector 23 is a right-angle arc connector. In other embodiments, the corresponding connector 23 can be replaced according to different installation positions to change the angle between the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 and the telescopic cross rod 22.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 and the telescopic transverse rod 22 are both threadedly connected to the connecting head 23 .

[0055] It can be understood that the retractable longitudinal rod 21, the retractable cross rod 22 and the connector 23 can be easily replaced by means of threaded connection.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 is connected to the axis of the closed end of the bolt sleeve 1 .

[0057] It can be understood that the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 is connected to the axis of the closed end of the bolt sleeve 1, so as to facilitate the application of force when tightening or loosening the bolt 4. In this example, the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 is fixed to the bolt sleeve 1 by welding.

[0058] Furthermore, the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 coincides with the axis of the bolt sleeve 1 .

[0059] The working principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: according to the longitudinal position of the bolt installation position, the length of the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 is adjusted, according to the lateral position of the bolt installation position, the length of the telescopic cross rod 22 is adjusted, and according to the bolt installation position, the corresponding connecting head 23 is selected, and the telescopic longitudinal rod 21, the telescopic cross rod 22 and the connecting head 23 are installed together through threaded matching, so that a set angle is formed between the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 and the telescopic cross rod 22. When it is necessary to install the bolt 4, the bolt 4 is pressed into the accommodating space of the bolt sleeve 1 until the spring 32 contracts and rebounds, so that the ball 31 is clamped at the bottom of the bolt 4, and then the retractable cross bar 22 is held to send the bolt sleeve 1 and the bolt 4 to the installation position, and the bolt sleeve 1 is rotated to install the bolt 4; when it is necessary to remove the bolt 4, the bolt sleeve 1 and the bolt 4 are sent to the installation position, and the bolt 4 is pressed into the accommodating space of the bolt sleeve 1 until the spring 32 contracts and rebounds, so that the ball 31 is clamped at the bottom of the bolt 4, and the bolt sleeve 1 is rotated to loosen and remove the bolt 4, and then the bolt sleeve 1 is lifted to move the bolt sleeve and the bolt 4 out of the installation position together.

[0060] The utility model discloses a simple device for installing bolts in a narrow space. The elastic member 3 in the bolt sleeve 1 enables the bolt 4 to be clamped in the accommodating space of the bolt sleeve 1, so that the problem of the bolt falling into the narrow space before installation or after removal can be avoided. The connecting member 2 enables the bolt sleeve 1 to be extended into the narrow space to install and remove the bolt 4. The ball 31 and the spring 32 are provided to cooperate with each other, so that the friction with the bolt 4 is reduced when the bolt 4 enters or leaves the accommodating space, and the bolt 4 can be clamped by the ball 31 when it is located in the accommodating space. The bolt sleeve 1 is configured as a regular hexagon that matches the size of the bolt 4, which not only facilitates the installation of the bolt, but also makes it easier to install the bolt. 4 is clamped in the accommodating space, and it is also convenient to tighten or loosen the bolt 4; the elastic members 3 are arranged at intervals and are respectively located at the horizontal center of each inner wall, so that when the elastic members 3 are squeezed by the bolt 4 or used to support and clamp the bolt 4, the force on the bolt 4 is more uniform; by extending or shortening the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 and the telescopic cross bar 22, the depth and length of the bolt installation position can be adjusted accordingly, so that the bolt sleeve 1 can accurately reach the installation position, thereby improving the versatility of the simple device; by detachably connecting the telescopic longitudinal rod 21, the telescopic cross bar 22 and the connecting head 23, the angle between the telescopic longitudinal rod 21 and the telescopic cross bar 22 can be changed.
