In order to solve the above problems, a flexible disassembly and assembly tool for vehicle oil filters is designed.

[0004] In the prior art, Chinese patent document CN204640060U discloses a belt-type oil filter wrench. In the process of disassembling the oil filter, the two ends of the fastening belt are aligned and stacked together, inserted from one side of the slot hole at the torsion bar and exposed from the other side by an appropriate length, and then the fastening belt ring is sleeved on the outer surface of the oil filter, the torsion bar is rotated, the torsion bar is held with one hand, and the ratchet wrench is inserted into the torsion bar with the other hand, and the ratchet wrench is rotated until the oil filter is twisted off. Its characteristics are: simple structure, low cost, and it can conveniently and quickly disassemble the oil filter with excessive tightening torque or damaged and deformed; its disadvantages are: first, when the torsion bar is twisted, the stability of the torsion bar is poor; second, when the torsion bar is twisted, the torsion bar will abut against the oil filter. Since the torsion bar is a cylinder, and the oil filter, that is, the oil filter, is also a cylindrical structure, when the torsion bar abuts against the oil filter, due to line contact, the force area is small, which will cause the outer wall of the oil filter to deform.

A tensioning hole 21 is provided on the rotating shaft 20. A penetration hole 11 is provided on the side wall of the cylinder 10 at a position corresponding to the rotating shaft 20. The flexible belt 30 passes through the penetration hole 11 and the tensioning hole 21, and the flexible belt 30 is provided with a placement space 31 for placing the oil filter in the cylinder 10. When in use, the rotating shaft 20 is rotated, the flexible belt 30 holds the oil filter tightly, and the oil filter is twisted at the same time. By setting the cylinder 10, when disassembling and assembling the oil filter, the oil filter is placed in the cylinder 10, the tool will not shake, and the stability is good, and the oil filter is located in the placement space 31, so when the rotating shaft 20 is rotated, the rotating shaft 20 wraps and tightens the flexible belt 30, so that the tool can be more stably fixed on the oil filter, the rotating shaft 20 does not contact the oil filter, and the flexible belt 30 has a certain width, and the flexible belt 30 is completely surrounded by the outside of the oil filter, and the force-bearing area is large, so it will not cause the outer wall of the oil filter to be squeezed and deformed.

[0031] In this embodiment, a screwing portion 60 is provided after the lower end of the rotating shaft 20 extends out of the ear seat 12. The screwing portion 60 is an outer polygonal structure, or an inner polygonal structure, or a hole. When in use, the screwing portion 60 is matched with a wrench 70, and the rotating shaft 20 is screwed through the handle 70.

[0032] Preferably, the flexible belt 30 is an annular flexible polyester synthetic fiber flat belt.

[0033] Embodiment 2:

[0034] The difference from the first embodiment is that, see Figure 2 The bottom center of the cylinder 10 is rotatably mounted with a central shaft 40, a screwing part 60 is arranged on the central shaft 40, the central shaft 40 and the rotating shaft 20 are connected and transmitted through a gear structure 50, the gear structure 50 includes a first gear 51 and a second gear 52, the first gear 51 is mounted on the central shaft 40, the lower end of the rotating shaft 20 is extended out of the ear seat 12 and a second gear 52 is mounted, the first gear 51 and the second gear 52 are meshed. In this way, when the central shaft 40 is rotated by the screwing part 60, the central shaft 40 drives the first gear 51 to rotate, the first gear 51 drives the second gear 52 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 20 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 20 winds and tightens the flexible belt 30. In this embodiment, since the force application point of the tool is located at the bottom center of the cylinder 10, the center of the force application point is roughly coaxial with the rotation center of the oil filter, so when the wrench 70 is operated forcefully, the torque can be applied to the oil filter more stably.

[0035] See also Figure 2 , 3A bearing seat 13 is provided at the bottom center of the cylinder 10, a bearing 14 is installed in the bearing seat 13, an end cover 15 is installed at the bottom of the cylinder 10 through a bolt 16, the upper end of the central shaft 40 passes through the end cover 15 and is connected with the inner hole of the bearing 14, and the screwing part 60 is provided at the lower end of the central shaft 40. Through the above structure, the positioning and rotation of the central shaft 40 is realized.

Through the above structure, the positioning and rotation of the rotating shaft 20 is realized.

[0037] The working principle or action process of the utility model is as follows:

[0038] See also Figure 1 , adjust the flexible belt 30 in the cylinder 10 so that the flexible belt 30 in the cylinder 10 forms a placement space 31. When disassembling the oil filter, the cylinder 10 is inserted into the lower end of the oil filter, and the oil filter enters the placement space 31 of the flexible belt 30.

[0039] Insert the wrench 70 into the screwing portion 60 at the lower end of the central shaft 40, and rotate the central shaft 40 by the wrench 70. The central shaft 40 drives the first gear 51 to rotate, and the first gear 51 drives the second gear 52 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 20 to rotate. The rotating shaft 20 wraps and tightens the flexible belt 30 to tightly fix the oil filter, and then further pulls the wrench 70 with force to twist and remove the oil filter.

[0040] When installing the oil filter, first manually install the oil filter in place, and then use this tool to tighten it.
