[0059] According to one aspect of the present utility model, a chain wrench 100 is provided, as Figure 1 shown, comprising:
[0060] A handle portion 110 having a connection end 111 and an operating end 112;
[0061] A chain portion 120, the first end 121 of which is connected to the connection end 111;
[0062] An adjusting mechanism 130 connected to the handle portion 110 and connected to the second end 122 of the chain portion 120, configured to adjust the inner diameter size of a snap ring 123 defined between the first end 121 and the second end 122;
[0063] Wherein, a snap ring 123 adapted to the outer contour of a fastener 200 is defined between the first end 121 and the second end 122.
[0064] When using the chain wrench 100, connect the second end 122 of the chain portion 120 to the adjusting mechanism 130, so that a shape adapted to the outer contour of the fastener 200 (for example, a hexagon bolt) is defined between the first end 121 and the second end 122. Then, set this shape on the designated fastener 200, and then adjust the size of the shape defined by the first end 121 and the second end 122 by the adjusting mechanism 130, so that the shape fits the fastener 200 until it is tightened. Finally, the operator operates the handle portion 110 to tighten or remove the fastener 200. After the operation is completed, reverse-adjust the tightness of the adjusting mechanism 130 so that the shape defined by the first end 121 and the second end 122 is separated from the fastener 200. The chain portion 120 of the chain wrench 100 has a large effective contact area with the nut, and the snap ring 123 can effectively hold the nut, making it convenient to turn the nut, greatly saving manpower and material resources, avoiding damage to the fastener and causing losses and waste of equipment and materials, and improving the safety of underground operations.
[0065] In an example of the present utility model, as Figures 2 to 5 shown, the adjusting mechanism 130 includes:
[0066] A threaded hole 113 opened along the extension direction X of the handle portion 110;
[0067] A screw rod 131, which is adapted to the threaded hole 113 and has a through hole 132 opened along the extension direction X of the screw rod 131;
[0068] Wherein, the second end 122 of the chain portion 120 passes through the through hole 132 and is connected to the screw rod 131, and the tightness of the chain portion 120 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the screw rod 131 in the threaded hole 113;
[0069] That is to say, by rotating the screw rod 131 forward or backward, the screw rod 131 can move forward or backward (up and down) in the threaded hole 113, and the chain portion 120 is connected to the screw rod 131, so that the screw rod 131 will drive the chain to move up and down synchronously during the movement, and then the size of the shape formed between the first end 121 and the second end 122 of the chain portion 120 is realized, and finally the tightness adjustment of the chain portion 120 is realized, greatly improving the adjustment of the adjusting snap ring 123 of the adjusting mechanism 130; Since the second end 122 of the chain portion 120 can be flexibly adjusted under the action of the adjusting mechanism 130, the adaptability of the chain wrench 100 is improved.
[0070] In an example of the present utility model, as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the adjusting mechanism 130 further includes:
[0071] The installation groove 133 extends from the operation end 112 towards the connection end 111, and the installation groove 133 is coaxially arranged with the threaded hole 113; wherein, the inner diameter dimension of the installation groove 133 is larger than the inner diameter dimension of the threaded hole 113;
[0072] The connection block 134 is adapted to be in the installation groove 133, and is fixedly connected to the second end 122 of the chain portion 120; it can be understood that the outer diameter of the connection block 134 is larger than the inner diameter of the threaded hole 113 and smaller than the inner diameter of the installation groove 133, so that the connection block 134 can be adapted to be in the installation groove 133;
[0073] Specifically, the connection block 134 is movably arranged in the installation groove 133 and is fixedly connected to the second end 122 of the chain portion 120, so as to realize the connection between the chain portion 120 and the screw 131. When the screw 131 rotates, relative rotation can occur between the screw 131 and the connection block 134, that is, the connection block 134 does not rotate under the connection action of the chain portion 120, and the screw 131 rotates relative to itself with respect to the connection block 134. In this way, the rotational motion of the screw 131 can be converted into the linear movement of the connection block 134 along the extending direction X of the screw 131 to tighten the chain portion 120.
[0074] In an example of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the connection block 134 includes:
[0075] The connection hole 1341 opened along the extending direction X of the connection block 134, and the chain portion 120 is adapted to pass through the connection hole 1341;
[0076] The positioning hole 1342 opened along the radial direction of the connection block 134 perpendicular to the extending direction X. When the chain portion 120 passes through the connection hole 1341, the positioning pin 1343 passes through the positioning hole 1342 and fixes the chain portion 120;
[0077] Preferably, the connection block 134 is of a cylindrical structure.
[0078] Briefly, the chain part 120 passes through the connecting hole 1341, and the positioning pin 1343 passes through the chain part 120 via the positioning hole 1342, thereby fixedly connecting the chain part 120 and the connecting block 134. In this way, when the screw 131 makes a rotational movement, for example, rotating forward, the screw 131 moves in a direction away from the threaded hole 113, thereby driving the connecting block 134 to move away from the threaded hole 113 synchronously, and finally tightening the chain part 120; conversely, when it is necessary to remove the chain wrench 100, rotate the screw 131 in the reverse direction, and the screw 131 moves in a direction close to the threaded hole 113, thereby driving the connecting block 134 to move close to the threaded hole 113 synchronously, and finally removing the chain part 120 from the fastener 200.
[0079] It can be understood that the inner diameter dimension of the connecting hole 1341 is equal to the inner diameter dimension of the through hole 132, and both are larger than the maximum outer contour dimension of the chain part 120.
[0080] In an example of the present utility model, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the length dimension of the connecting block 134 is larger than the depth dimension of the installation groove 133, and the positioning hole 1342 is close to one end away from the installation groove 133 and is located outside the installation groove 133;
[0081] By making the length dimension of the connecting block 134 larger than the depth dimension of the installation groove 133, it can be ensured that a part of the connecting block 134 is located outside the installation groove 133, which provides conditions for the opening of the positioning hole 1342, and setting the positioning hole 1342 in the part of the connecting block 134 located outside the installation groove 133 facilitates the fitting installation between the positioning pin 1343 and the positioning hole 1342.
[0082] When using the chain wrench 100, first roughly fix it on the connecting block 134 according to the size of the fastener 200 to be screwed, and then adjust the tightness of the chain part 120 through the adjusting mechanism 130.
[0083] In an example of the present utility model, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, an operating handle 135 is provided on the side of the screw 131 close to the operating end 112, and the operating handle 135 extends from the outer side wall of the screw 131 in a direction away from the outer side wall of the screw 131;
[0084] By providing the operating handle 135, it is convenient to screw the screw 131 in the threaded hole 113.
[0085] In an example of the present utility model, a plurality of operating handles 135 are provided and are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the screw 131.
[0086] In an example of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, the starting position of the first end 121 of the threaded hole 113 close to the chain portion 120 on the connection end 111 of the handle portion 110. Bringing the first end 121 of the chain portion 120 closer to the threaded hole 113 can cause the chain portion 120 to form a closed snap ring 123 as much as possible, greatly increasing the contact area between the chain portion 120 and the fastener 200, thereby more effectively disassembling and assembling the fastener 200.
[0087] In an example of the present utility model, the connection between the chain portion 120 and the connection end 111 of the handle portion 110 is connected by a hinge 140. There are at least two hinges 140, and they are arranged at intervals along the transverse direction Y of the first end 121. Among them, the transverse direction Y and the extending direction X are perpendicular to each other.
[0088] For example, there are two hinges 140, arranged at intervals along the transverse direction Y of the first end 121, and the threaded hole 113 is close to the hinge 140. In this way, the chain portion 120 can effectively form a substantially sealed snap ring 123, greatly increasing the contact area between the chain portion 120 and the fastener 200. Arranging at least two hinges 140 can also improve the connection reliability between the chain portion 120 and the handle portion 110.
[0089] In an example of the present utility model, the connection points of at least two of the hinges 140 and the center of the threaded hole 113 are on the same straight line in the transverse direction Y;
[0090] That is to say, the connection points of the hinge 140 and the center of the threaded hole 113 are on the same straight line in the transverse direction Y. In this way, the snap ring 123 formed by the chain portion 120 can be located in the same plane, so as to better match with the fastener 200.
[0091] In the above text, the exemplary embodiments of the chain wrench 100 proposed by the present utility model are described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art can understand that, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, various modifications and variations can be made to the above specific embodiments, and various combinations can be made to the various technical features and structures proposed by the present utility model, without exceeding the protection scope of the present utility model.
