[0022] A locking tool for tightening in a narrow space, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, for the fixed connection of an aviation electrical connector, including a tightening head 1. The tightening head 1 is equipped with a plurality of different specifications and sizes, respectively suitable for clamping aviation electrical connectors of different specifications. The tightening head 1 is composed of a set of two semi-circular buckles (1a, 1b) that are butted against each other to form a circular ring-shaped card frame. An inner 12-sided card surface 2 for locking aviation electrical connectors of different specifications is formed on the inner wall of the circular ring-shaped card frame of the tightening head I. The butting part of the two semi-circular buckles (1a, 1b) is a stepped surface 3 that is butted in a staggered manner. A locking component 4 for buckling between the two is provided at the butting part of the two semi-circular buckles (1a, 1b). The locking component 4 includes a magic tape (not shown in the figure) and two locking through holes 40 that protrude from the outer walls of the semi-circular buckles on both sides of the butting part respectively. The magic tape passes through the locking through holes 40 on both sides of the butting part and buckles and locks the two semi-circular buckles (1a, 1b) by means of high-strength adhesion. Rotation control components 5 for driving the tightening head 1 to rotate circumferentially to tighten or loosen the aviation electrical connector are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the two semi-circular buckles.

[0023] Continue as Figures 1 to 4 shown. The rotation control component 5 includes two handles 50 and two connecting rods 51. The tail end of each connecting rod 51 is connected with a handle 50 for manual control and holding by the user. A through-hole 510 for sleeved installation is provided at the head end of each connecting rod 51. Two lug grooves 6 that are symmetrically distributed and used for respectively fixedly connecting the end parts of the two connecting rods are provided on the opposite sides of the two semi-circular buckles. A fixing bolt 7 is threadedly connected to the lug blocks corresponding to both sides of each lug groove 6. The head end of each connecting rod 51 is connected to the fixing bolt 7 between the lug grooves 6 through the through-hole 510. The connecting rod 51 is used for the support connection and torque transmission between the handle 50 and the lug groove 6, and drives the tightening head 1 to tighten or loosen the aviation electrical connector circumferentially through the handle 50 and the connecting rod 51.

[0024] In this embodiment, the tightening head can be equipped with multiple models of different specifications, which are suitable for clamping aviation electrical connectors of different specifications. Moreover, the tightening head is composed of two semi-circular buckles that are butted against each other to form a circular clamping frame. After disassembly, it can be conveniently inserted into the internal space of the fuselage to sleeve the aviation electrical connector, enabling effective operation in the space, improving the tightening efficiency and quality, and effectively reducing the operation difficulty and error rate. Furthermore, in some areas with extremely narrow space, the connecting rod on the rotation control component can be abandoned. After the tightening head is quickly fixed, by using the lug grooves and fixing bolts on the opposite sides of the two semi-circular buckles, the fingers of both hands can respectively move the lug grooves and fixing bolts on one side, so as to achieve the effect of transmitting torque, and then the electrical connector can be tightened or loosened.
