Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of torque wrenches, and particularly relates to a torque wrench for adjusting sound. Background Art

[0002] A torque wrench is a type of wrench. Among them, the mechanical sound alarm type uses the lever principle. When the torque reaches the set torque, there will be a "bang" sound of mechanical collision. After that, the wrench will become a dead end. If more force is applied, an over-force phenomenon will occur.

[0003] When tightening bolts of different materials and specifications, different torques are required. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the preset torque of the torque wrench. By rotating the handle and the execution part relative to each other, the preset torque of the torque wrench can be adjusted.

[0004] Generally, a torque scale is set on the existing torque wrench. By observing the scale, it is convenient to understand the adjustment of the torque. However, in a dark environment or an environment where it is not convenient to observe the torque scale, it is very difficult to understand the adjustment of the torque by observing the torque scale. Therefore, it is not convenient to use. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the embodiment of the utility model is to provide a torque wrench for adjusting sound, aiming at solving the problem that it is very difficult to understand the torque adjustment situation by observing the torque scale in a dark environment or an environment where it is not convenient to observe the torque scale.

[0006] The utility model is realized as follows. A torque wrench for adjusting sound includes a plastic handle, and also includes: a main pipe, a ratchet execution component and a rotation limiting component arranged on the main pipe. One end of the main pipe is rotatably connected inside the plastic handle; the rotation limiting component includes a plurality of sunk grooves annularly and evenly arranged on the side wall of the main pipe, and the rotation limiting component is used to limit the relative rotation of the plastic handle with respect to the main pipe; the ratchet execution component is used to rotate the bolt, and the rotating plastic handle adjusts the preset torque of the ratchet execution component; a placement hole is arranged on the side wall of the plastic handle, and a first steel ball and a small spring are arranged in the placement hole, and the small spring pushes the first steel ball against the side wall of the main pipe.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the rotation limiting component further includes a round hole arranged on the side wall of the plastic handle, and a second steel ball is movably connected in the round hole; a lock is movably sleeved on the plastic handle. When the inner wall of the lock contacts the second steel ball, the second steel ball is located in the sunk groove and the round hole on the side wall of the plastic handle; an annular accommodation groove is arranged on the inner wall of the lock. When the annular accommodation groove coincides with the second steel ball, the rotating plastic handle relative to the main pipe pushes the second steel ball into the annular accommodation groove and the round hole on the side wall of the plastic handle.

[0008] Further technical solution: A connecting piece is fixed at one end of the clinker handle close to the main pipe; the connecting piece is used to prevent the lock from disengaging from the end close to the main pipe; a lock spring is fixedly connected to the end of the lock away from the connecting piece, and the end of the lock spring is fixed on the clinker handle; an installation sunk groove is arranged on the side wall of the clinker handle, an elastic steel wire is arranged in the installation sunk groove, and two annular positioning grooves are arranged on the inner wall of the lock, and the elastic steel wire cooperates with the two annular positioning grooves.

[0009] Further technical solution: A secondary scale ring is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting piece away from the clinker handle, and both the secondary scale ring and the connecting piece are movably sleeved on the main pipe.

[0010] Further technical solution: The ratchet execution component includes a ratchet handle, the ratchet handle is rotationally connected in the main pipe through a snap ring pin, and a nut is fixed in the main pipe through a pin; a nut insert is slidably connected in the clinker handle, a screw rod is fixed on the nut insert, the screw rod penetrates through and is threadedly connected to the nut, a gasket is rotationally connected to the end of the nut close to the main pipe, and a main spring and a slider block are sequentially arranged between the gasket and the ratchet handle.

[0011] Further technical solution: A tail cover is pluggably connected to the end of the clinker handle away from the main pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0013] When the rotating clinker handle drives the small spring and the first steel ball to rotate relative to the main pipe, since the small spring pushes the first steel ball against the side wall of the main pipe, when the first steel ball moves on the side wall of the main pipe, the first steel ball will frequently enter and disengage from the sunk groove, and a "click" sound will occur when the first steel ball contacts the irregular side wall of the main pipe. Thus, the adjustment situation of the preset torque value of the ratchet execution component can be understood through the sound emitted by the first steel ball when it contacts the irregular side wall of the main pipe. Compared with the prior art of observing the scale to understand the adjustment of the preset torque of the torque wrench, the present utility model can understand the adjustment situation of the preset torque of the torque wrench in a dark environment or an environment where it is not convenient to observe the torque scale, thereby facilitating the use of the torque wrench.

[0028] In the embodiment of the utility model, when the preset torque value of the torque wrench is adjusted, the rotation limiting component releases the restriction on the rotation of the clinker handle 10 relative to the main pipe 5, and the clinker handle 10 is rotated. The rotating clinker handle 10 adjusts the preset torque of the ratchet actuator. The rotating clinker handle 10 will also drive the small spring 18 and the steel ball 17 to rotate relative to the main pipe 5. Since the small spring 18 pushes the steel ball 17 against the side wall of the main pipe 5, when the steel ball 17 moves on the side wall of the main pipe 5, the steel ball 17 will frequently move forward. When the steel ball 17 enters and leaves the groove 501, a "click" sound is produced when it contacts the irregular side wall of the main pipe 5. Thus, the adjustment of the preset torque value of the ratchet actuator can be understood through the sound of the steel ball 17 contacting the irregular side wall of the main pipe 5. Compared with the existing method of using an observation scale to understand the adjustment of the preset torque of the torque wrench, the utility model can understand the adjustment of the preset torque of the torque wrench in a dark environment or an environment where it is inconvenient to observe the torque scale, thereby facilitating the use of the torque wrench.

[0029] like Figures 1-9As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the rotation limiting assembly also includes a circular hole provided on the side wall of the clinker handle 10, in which a steel ball 20 is movably connected, and the diameter of the steel ball 20 is equal to the sum of the thickness of the side wall of the clinker handle 10 and the depth of the sink 501; a lock buckle 8 is movably provided on the clinker handle 10, and when the inner wall of the lock buckle 8 contacts the steel ball 20, the steel ball 20 is located in the circular hole on the side wall of the sink 501 and the clinker handle 10; the inner wall of the lock buckle 8 is provided with a There is an annular receiving groove 801, the depth of which is less than the diameter of the steel ball 20.

The positioning plug 1004 is inserted into the positioning slot 704 to limit the relative rotation of the connecting member 7 and the clinker handle 10. The positioning card 1003 hooks the positioning buckle 703 to limit the relative distance between the connecting member 7 and the clinker handle 10. The connecting member 7 is used to limit the lock buckle 8 from being separated from the end close to the main pipe 5. ; The end of the limiting lock 8 away from the connecting piece 7 is fixedly connected to a lock spring 19, and the end of the lock spring 19 is fixed on the clinker handle 10.
