Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an installation tool, in particular to a multifunctional MC4 plug wrench. Background Art

[0002] With the development of photovoltaic modules and inverters, photovoltaic power stations use a large number of various types of MC4 plugs. The functionality of the wrenches currently on the market is relatively single. Different wrenches are required for the installation and removal of MC4 plugs during maintenance. Switching wrenches back and forth affects the efficiency of workers. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a multifunctional MC4 plug wrench to solve the technical problem that different wrenches are needed for installation and removal of the existing MC4 plug, which affects work efficiency.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: a multifunctional MC4 plug wrench, including a wrench body, a plum blossom wrench hole and a locking hole are arranged on the wrench body, the plum blossom wrench hole has a notch, the appearance of the locking hole is adapted to the connecting ends of the male and female connectors of the MC4 plug, and at least a pair of claws are arranged on the wrench body, and the pair of claws are used to insert into the connecting ends of the male and female connectors of the MC4 plug to separate the male connector and the female connector of the MC4 plug.

[0005] Furthermore, the end of the claw is a wedge-shaped structure.

[0006] Furthermore, a slotted screwdriver is fixed on the wrench body.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the utility model can complete the installation and removal of the MC4 plug with one tool, reducing the time for changing different tools, thereby improving work efficiency; the utility model integrates a plum wrench hole, a positioning hole and a pair of claws, which can be applied to operation requirements in various situations, the plum wrench hole can be used to tighten or loosen the nut, the positioning hole can fix one end of the MC4 plug, and facilitate the operation of the other end, the claw can easily separate the male and female connectors of the MC4 plug without additional tools, and the wedge-shaped design of the claw helps to insert it between the male and female connectors more easily, simplifying the removal process; using two sets of multifunctional MC4 plug wrenches to cooperate with each other, the installation and removal of the MC4 plug can be easily realized; through different combination methods, it can adapt to different work scenes, and improve the flexibility and versatility of the tool; the flat-blade screwdriver fixed on the wrench body can be used to handle the screws that may exist on the MC4 plug, further enhancing the functionality and practicality of the tool; due to the integration of multiple functions, maintenance personnel only need to carry this tool to complete most of the related work tasks, reducing the carrying burden.

[0008] In summary, this new multifunctional MC4 plug wrench not only improves the efficiency of photovoltaic power station maintenance work, but also simplifies tool equipment and improves the safety and convenience of on-site operations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] The accompanying drawings are used to provide a further understanding of the present invention and constitute a part of the specification. Together with the embodiments of the present invention, they are used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In the accompanying drawings:

[0010] Figure 1 The utility model is a structural schematic diagram of a multifunctional MC4 plug wrench. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0012] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0013] like Figure 1 As shown, a specific embodiment 1 of a multifunctional MC4 plug wrench provided by the utility model:
