[0017] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model proposes a tool for opening and closing gate valves, which is used in conjunction with an electric wrench. The electric wrench can be a high-power fixed torque electric wrench, model P1D-LP-1000EJ, which runs smoothly, has low vibration and low impact. It includes a connector 1, a connecting plate 2, two legs 3 and two engaging claws 4. The connector 1 is provided with a concave cavity 5 that matches the electric wrench. The connecting plate 2 is provided with a groove 6. A connecting shaft 7 is fixedly connected in the groove 6. The connecting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the connector 1, so that the concave cavity 5 of the connector 1 and the groove 6 of the connecting plate 2 are arranged in reverse. One end of the leg 3 is hinged to the connecting shaft 7 in parallel, and the other end is hinged to an engaging claw 4 respectively. The engaging claw 4 is provided with a bolt 8 for opening and closing the engaging claw 4.

[0019] When the gate valve needs to be turned, open the two legs 3, use the two engaging claws 4 to hold the outer edge of the gate valve handwheel respectively, use the bolts 8 to fix the engaging claws 4 on the gate valve handwheel, and then match the electric wrench with the connecting head 1, start the electric wrench to drive the connecting head 1 to rotate, so as to rotate the gate valve. With the electric wrench, it is more labor-saving, single-person operation, labor-saving, more convenient to operate, and improved maintenance efficiency.

[0020] In this embodiment, the cross section of the cavity 5 is a regular polygon. The cavity 5 can be selected from uncommon triangles, squares, pentagons, or hexagons, such as Figure 3 As shown, a square cross-section cavity 5 is used to avoid slipping.

[0021] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the connecting plate 2 is made of a U-shaped stainless steel plate, one end of the connecting shaft 7 is fixedly connected with a nut, and the other end is threadedly connected with a nut 9. After the legs 3 are opened and the engaging claws 4 are fixed to the gate valve handwheel, the nut is turned to press the connecting plate 2 onto the legs 3 to fix the legs 3 onto the connecting plate 2, thereby improving the stability of the legs 3 and facilitating operation.

[0022] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, a washer 10 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 7, and the washer 10 is located between the connecting plate 2 and the supporting legs 3. The washer 10 is added to fix the two supporting legs 3 to the connecting shaft 7, thereby improving the firmness and stability of the entire tool.

[0023] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the clasping claw 4 is fixedly connected with a plastic pad 11 which matches the clasping claw 4. The plastic pad 11 is used to reduce the wear of the clasping claw 4 and improve the firmness of the clasping claw 4.

[0024] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a spring 12 is fixedly connected between the legs 3. The arrangement of the spring 12 facilitates the storage of the legs 3.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it.
