[0021] Example:

[0022] See attached Figure 1 The portable labor-saving wrench for operating a manual valve 1 provided in this embodiment includes a handle section, a first limit section and a second limit section connected in sequence. The handle section and the second limit section can be adjusted to change the distance relative to the first limit section, thereby changing the length of the overall wrench. The adjustment of the distance of the handle section can change the torque, making it easier to apply force. At the same time, it can also be adjusted to be suitable for the operation of the manual valve 1 in a limited space. The adjustment of the distance of the second limit section can be adapted to the cooperation with manual valves 1 of different diameters.

[0023] The specific adjustability between the handle section, the first limiting section and the second limiting section is realized by the following structure: the first limiting section includes a connecting rod 2, and blind holes 3 are provided at both ends of the connecting rod 2; the handle section includes a first telescopic section 13, and the first telescopic section 13 is connected with the blind hole 3 at one end of the connecting rod 2; the second limiting section includes a second telescopic section 10, and the second telescopic section 10 is connected with the blind hole 3 at the other end of the connecting rod 2; a plurality of threaded holes are evenly provided on the connecting rod 2 along the length direction of the connecting rod 2, and the threaded holes are connected with the blind holes 3 at the left and right ends of the connecting rod 2. The first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod are respectively inserted into the blind holes 3 at the left and right ends of the connecting rod 2, and after adjusting the appropriate length, butterfly bolts are selected to pass through the threaded holes on the left and right sides of the connecting rod 2, and the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod are respectively abutted against the blind holes 3 of the connecting rod 2 to complete the fixation.

[0024] A bearing seat is provided at the center of the connecting rod 2, and a bearing 11 is fixed in the bearing seat. The connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected through the bearing 11. The connecting rod 5 is perpendicular to the direction of the connecting rod 2 and arranged up and down. The arrangement of the bearing 11 can enable the connecting rod 5 to realize self-rotation relative to the connecting rod 2. A first limiter is connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 5. A through hole 6 is provided near the lower end of the connecting rod 5, and the direction of the through hole 6 is consistent with the direction of the connecting rod 2. The first limiting part consists of a fulcrum base 7 and a three-fulcrum frame 8. The fulcrum base 7 is provided with a groove that matches the lower end of the connecting rod 5, and a base fixing hole 9 is provided on the groove. After the lower end of the connecting rod 5 is matched with the groove, the base fixing hole 9 on the groove is aligned with the through hole 6 on the connecting rod 5, and then the fulcrum base 7 and the connecting rod 5 are fixedly connected by the fixing bolt 4. The three-fulcrum frame 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fulcrum base 7, wherein a corresponding number of fulcrum frames can be set according to the specific situation of the manual valve 1. The manual valve 1 structure of the prior art is provided with three or more support rods 14, which are inserted into the gaps between the three-fulcrum frame 8 or the multi-fulcrum frame and the corresponding manual valve 1.

[0025] The second limiting section also includes a second limiting portion, which is a horizontal "F"-shaped structure and is connected to the second telescopic section 10. The bayonet thereon cooperates with the outer edge of the manual valve 1; the handle section also includes a handle 12, which is connected to one end of the first telescopic section 13. An anti-slip sleeve is provided on the handle 12 to prevent the operator from slipping during operation; the butterfly bolt can facilitate the operator to directly perform fixing and disassembly operations.

[0026] The working principle and operation principle of the utility model are as follows: according to the conditions of the on-site working space, firstly, the distance between the first telescopic section 13 and the connecting rod 2 is adjusted to a suitable position, and then the distance between the second telescopic rod and the connecting rod 2 is adjusted according to the structure of the manual valve 1, so as to ensure that the clearance between the three-point frame 8 of the first limit part and the three support rods 14 on the manual valve 1 is matched, and at the same time, the "F"-shaped bayonet of the second limit part is matched with the outer edge of the manual valve 1; then the operator applies force to the handle 12, and based on the lever balance principle, the manual valve 1 is rotated, thereby realizing the unlocking and locking process; in addition, the structure of the bearing 11 of the rotating part is set, so that when the manual valve 1 needs to be rotated in the opposite direction, the wrench does not need to be removed, and the wrench can be directly rotated in the opposite direction to move the "F"-shaped bayonet of the second limit part from the connection point between the outer edge and one support rod 14 to the connection point between the outer edge and the other support rod 14, and then an opposite force is applied to the handle 12 to realize the opposite rotation of the manual valve 1.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
