[0023] The specific implementation scheme of the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water pump pliers jaw adjustment mechanism shown comprises a guide body 1 located on the fixed pliers body of the water pump pliers and a slider 2 connected to the movable pliers body, the front end of the guide body 1 is used to connect the fixed jaw 101 of the fixed pliers body, and the rear end is used to connect the fixed pliers handle 102 of the fixed pliers body, the slider 2 is connected with a pivot 3, the pivot 3 is used to hinge the movable pliers body, the guide body 1 is provided with a long hole 4, the long hole 4 extends from the front end to the rear end of the guide body 1, the slider 2 is embedded in the long hole 4 and slides along the long diameter direction of the long hole 4, driving the movable jaw of the movable pliers body away from or close to the fixed jaw, a large number of wedge-shaped grooves 5 are provided on an inner side wall extending along the long diameter direction of the long hole 4, the wedge-shaped grooves 5 are arranged in sequence along the long diameter direction of the long hole 4, and fixed ratchet teeth 6 of the same shape are formed between adjacent wedge-shaped grooves 5, and the top of the fixed ratchet teeth 6 is flush with the inner wall of the long hole 4 in which the wedge-shaped grooves 5 are provided.

[0025] In this embodiment, the wedge-shaped groove 5 is arranged on the inner wall of one side of the long hole 5 close to the water pump pliers jaws. The fixed ratchet 6 and the movable ratchet 7 cooperate to make the slider 2 approach the front end of the guide body 1 in only one direction when it is only subjected to the force in the long diameter direction of the long hole 4.

[0026] The slider 2 is provided with two movable ratchet teeth 7 cooperating with the fixed ratchet teeth 6 on one side thereof facing the fixed ratchet teeth 6, and each movable ratchet teeth 7 is located at the same end of the slider 2. The slider 2 is provided with an elastomer 8 on the side thereof facing away from the fixed ratchet teeth 6, and the elastomer 8 and the movable ratchet teeth 7 are located at the same end of the slider 2. One end of the elastomer 8 is connected to the slider, and the other end is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the opposite long hole 4.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the elastomer 8 in this embodiment is a pre-compressed spring, and a spring blind hole 11 extending along the width direction of the slider 2 is opened on the side of the slider 2 facing away from the fixed ratchet 6. The spring blind hole 11 and the movable ratchet 7 are located at the same end of the slider 2. The spring is inserted into the spring blind hole 11, and one end of the spring extends out of the spring blind hole 11 and slides against the inner wall of the opposite long hole 4.

[0028] Using a spring as the elastic body 8 has the advantage of high assembly stability, and most of the spring is inserted into the spring blind hole 11, so the problem of the spring falling off will not occur.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in actual application, the elastic body 8 can also adopt a pre-compressed round-bottom "V"-shaped spring leaf, and a round-bottom "V"-shaped embedding groove 12 is opened on the side of the slider 2 facing away from the fixed ratchet 6. The "V"-shaped embedding groove 12 is closed at both axial ends, and the "V"-shaped embedding groove 12 and the movable ratchet 7 are located at the same end of the slider 2. The bottom of the spring leaf is embedded in the "V"-shaped embedding groove 12, and the two top parts of the spring leaf extend out of the "V"-shaped embedding groove 12 and slide against the inner wall of the opposite long hole 4. The bottom angle α of the "V"-shaped embedding groove 12 is greater than the bottom angle β of the spring leaf.

[0030] use Figure 3 The spring shown serves as an elastic body 8 and cooperates with a "V"-shaped groove 12 whose bottom angle α is greater than the bottom angle β of the spring. First, it can increase the contact area between the elastic body 8 and the inner wall of the long hole 4, thereby reducing the pressure per unit area and facilitating the sliding of the elastic body 8. At the same time, it can also keep the two tops of the elastic body 8 against the inner wall of the long hole 4 during the swinging of the slider 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, the sum of the width of the slider 2 and the height of the movable ratchet 7 along the short diameter direction of the long hole 4 is less than the short diameter of the long hole 4, so as to ensure that the movable ratchet 7 can completely detach from the fixed ratchet 6. A support body 9 is also provided on the side of the slider 2 facing away from the fixed ratchet 6. The support body 9 protrudes from the slider 2 along the short diameter direction of the long hole 4. The height of the support body 9 is less than the difference between the short diameter of the long hole 4 and the width of the slider 2. The support body 9 and the elastic body 8 are respectively arranged at both ends of the slider 2. The inner wall of the long hole 4 abutted by the elastic body 8 is parallel to the inner wall of the long hole 4 with the wedge-shaped groove 5. The pivot 3 is arranged in the middle of the slider 2 along the axial direction of the long hole 4. The support body 9 and the elastic body 8 are respectively arranged on both sides of the pivot 3.

[0032] The setting of the support body 9 effectively reduces the swing range of the slider 2 away from the end of the movable ratchet, thereby further limiting the movement of the pivot 3 in the long hole 4 along the minor diameter direction, and improving the clamping accuracy and clamping stability of the water pump pliers. At the same time, the support body 9 cooperates with the slider 2 with a smaller width, so that the pivot 3 can drive the movable ratchet 6 of the slider 2 to swing away from the fixed ratchet 5 when it is pushed away from the fixed ratchet 5, without the need to set up other components to drive the slider 2 to swing, which can effectively simplify the jaw adjustment mechanism, reduce production costs, and improve operational convenience.

[0033] The support body 9 described in this embodiment is preferably integrally formed with the slider 2 , and the top of the support body 9 is a convex arc-shaped curved surface to ensure that the swing of the slider 2 does not affect the support body 9 and the inner wall of the long hole 4 to maintain a stable sliding contact relationship.

[0034] Of course, in practical applications, the structure of the support body 9 can be varied.

[0035] like Figure 4 The figure shows another structure of the support body 9, which is a roller shaft. The slider 2 is provided with a round bottom U-shaped groove 10 for embedding the roller shaft on the side facing away from the fixed ratchet 6, and the two ends of the round bottom U-shaped groove 10 are closed. The roller shaft is partially embedded in the round bottom U-shaped groove 10 and partially exposed outside the slider 2. The roller shaft and the inner wall of the round bottom U-shaped groove 10 are rotatably connected with the two end walls of the round bottom U-shaped groove 10 through the end shafts 9a at both ends of the roller shaft.

[0036] Using a roller as the support body 9 can change the sliding contact between the support body 9 and the inner wall of the long hole 4 to a rolling contact, and using the end shaft 9a to rotate and connect the roller is also to further reduce the rotation resistance of the roller. In practical applications, the roller can also be directly slidably fitted in the round bottom U-shaped groove 10, and can also be further lubricated by grease.

[0037] Similar to the roller, a plurality of balls may be used as the support body 9 , wherein the plurality of balls are discretely arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the long hole 4 , and the balls are partially slidably embedded in the slider 2 .

[0038] The working process of this utility model is: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the user needs to enlarge the jaws of the water pump pliers, the user applies a thrust in the direction F to the pivot 3. Under the action of the thrust, the slider 2 first moves as a whole following the pivot in the direction away from the fixed ratchet 6, and then the support body 9 first contacts the inner wall of the long hole 4 opposite to the fixed ratchet 6 to form a support. When the pivot 3 continues to move in the original direction, the slider 2 is located at one end of the movable ratchet 7 and swings. Since the distance between the movable ratchet 7 and the support body 9 is greater than the distance between the pivot 3 and the support body 9, the swinging speed of the movable ratchet 7 is greater than the moving speed of the pivot 3, thereby allowing the movable ratchet 7 to quickly disengage from the fixed ratchet 6.

[0039] After the movable ratchet 7 is separated from the fixed ratchet 6, one state is that the support body 9 and the elastic body 8 are against the inner wall of the long hole 4, and the other state is that the end of the slider 2 away from the support body 9 is also against the inner wall of the long hole 4. These two states depend on the size of the force applied to the pivot 3 by the user.

[0040] After the movable ratchet 7 is separated from the fixed ratchet 6, the user pushes the guide body 1 to move toward the front end along the long diameter direction of the long hole 4 while maintaining the force in the F direction, so that the slider 2 slides toward the rear end of the guide body 1 and the jaws of the water pump pliers are enlarged. The user can also pull the pivot 3 to move toward the rear end along the long diameter direction of the long hole 4 while maintaining the force in the F direction, so that the slider 2 slides toward the rear end of the guide body 1 and the jaws of the water pump pliers are enlarged.

[0041] It can be seen that the water pump pliers jaw adjustment mechanism described in this embodiment 1 is simpler in structure and more convenient to operate than the prior art. Example 2

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 The present invention shows a water pump pliers, comprising a fixed pliers body 100 and a movable pliers body 200, and also comprising the water pump pliers jaw adjustment mechanism 300 described in the above-mentioned embodiment 1, wherein the fixed jaw 101 of the fixed pliers body 100 is connected to the front end of the guide body 1 of the water pump pliers jaw adjustment mechanism 300, and the fixed pliers handle 102 of the fixed pliers body 100 is connected to the rear end of the guide body 1, and the two ends of the pivot 3 extend out of the slider 2 respectively, and the movable pliers body 200 comprises a movable jaw 201, a pivot part 202 and a movable jaw 203 connected in sequence. 02 and a movable pliers handle 203, the pivotal portion 202 is provided with an assembly hole 204 for the guide body 1 to pass through, the guide body 1 is inserted into the assembly hole 204, the slider 2 is opposite to the pivotal portions 202 on both sides of the assembly hole 204 and is rotatably connected to the pivotal portions 202 through the pivot 3, the movable jaw 201 is opposite to the fixed jaw 101, the assembly hole 204 satisfies the guide body 1 to swing around the pivot 3 therein, the wedge-shaped groove 5 is arranged on the inner wall of one side of the long hole 4 close to the jaws of the water pump pliers.

[0043] In this embodiment, the pivot 3 is a screw, and the pivot 3 passes through the pivot portion 202 and is locked by a nut 13 .

[0044] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the invention, as well as some embodiments of its application, and are not intended to limit the invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the invention, and all of these belong to the protection scope of the invention.
