[0002] The concept of adjustable torque wrenches can be traced back to the early 20th century. With the development of the industrial revolution and mechanized production, the demand for precise tightening torque has also increased. The original torque wrenches were simple in design and only used mechanical levers or springs to achieve torque control. With the advancement of technology, modern adjustable torque wrenches integrate more complex mechanical and electronic components to provide more precise torque control and measurement functions.
[0003] The existing technologies include: spring-type mechanical torque wrenches control torque through a spring and lever mechanism. When the set torque is reached, the lever triggers a stop mechanism, causing the wrench to stop applying force. Electronic torque wrenches are torque wrenches with electronic measurement and control units. Hydraulic torque wrenches use hydraulic systems to achieve torque control. Ultrasonic torque wrenches use ultrasonic technology to measure the tension of the bolt, thereby indirectly measuring the torque.
[0004] However, the traditional wrench has no torque prompt when working. Therefore, the tightness of the water heater socket when installing can only be controlled by the operator's experience. If the water heater socket is installed too tightly, the wrench will damage the screw threads of the water heater socket, and if it is installed too loose, the container will leak. Therefore, an adjustable torque wrench is proposed to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

A positioning component is provided inside the claw 8, and the positioning component is used to position the water heater brace.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The positioning assembly includes a bidirectional threaded rod 13, which drives two sliders 14 to slide. The bidirectional threaded rod 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the claw 8. The upper end of the bidirectional threaded rod 13 is fixedly connected to a knob 2 12, which is used to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 13 to rotate. The outer peripheries of the knobs 1 9 and 12 are provided with anti-slip grooves, which can prevent the knobs 1 9 and 12 from sliding. The middle part of the inner part of the claw 8 is slidably connected to two sliders 14, and the two sliders 14 push the two connecting rods 15 to slide.

[0026] Working principle: When using the device, you first need to adjust the torque of the torque meter 2, and then adjust the positioning block 17 according to the water heater sockets of different diameters. Water heater sockets of different diameters have different curvatures. In order to prevent the device from sliding during operation, turn the knob 2 12, and the knob 2 12 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 13 to rotate. The bidirectional threaded rod 13 pushes the two sliders 14 to slide away from each other, and the two sliders 14 push the two connecting rods 15 to slide away from each other. The two connecting rods 15 push the two connecting blocks 16 and the positioning block 17 to slide backward and extend out of the inside of the claw 8, thereby realizing the function of screw thread positioning of water heater sockets with different curvatures, turn the knob 19, and the knob 19 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate, and the rotating rod 3 drives the worm 5 to rotate When the wrench body 1 is in operation, the worm gear 5 drives the worm wheel 4 to rotate, and the worm wheel 4 pushes the telescopic rod 6 to slide inside the wrench body 1. When the telescopic rod 6 slides, the claw 8 is pushed to move, and clamping angles of different arcs are formed between the claw 8 and the wrench body 1. In this way, the firm clamping function of the water heater sockets with different curvatures can be achieved. The one with too small curvature requires a larger wrapping range to be firmly clamped and stable. Otherwise, it is very easy for the equipment to slide and damage the screw threads of the water heater sockets when the equipment is working. Then, the torque meter 2 is moved to drive the wrench body 1 and the water heater sockets to rotate. When the torque of the water heater sockets reaches the set value of the torque meter 2, the torque meter 2 will rotate and abut against the left end of the wrench body 1, thereby ensuring the firmness of the installation of the water heater sockets.
