[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tank hatch key to solve the problems existing in the prior art, which can be adapted to various types of tanks and can ensure the normal opening of each tank hatch, so that the adaptability of the entire tank hatch key is strong.

[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a tank hatch key, including a handle portion and a plug-in portion;

[0025] The handle portion includes a connecting rod and a connecting block connected to one end of the connecting rod, the connecting block is located on one side of the connecting rod in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the connecting rod and protrudes from the side wall of the connecting rod; the design of the preferred connecting rod is ergonomic, has a large rotational torque, is easy to operate, and can be easily and quickly rotated in the corresponding direction;

[0026] The plug-in part includes a plug rod 8 inserted into the keyhole and a key tooth pattern 7 connected to the plug rod 8. The key tooth pattern 7 is located at one end of the plug rod 8 inserted into the keyhole. A tooth groove engaged with the key tooth pattern 7 is provided on the inner end surface of the keyhole. The other end of the plug rod 8 is exposed from the keyhole, and a socket 5 engaged with the connection block is provided at its axis. When the tank hatch needs to be opened, the connection block is aligned with the socket 5 by holding the connecting rod and inserted into the socket 5, and then the connecting rod is rotated, so that the connecting rod drives the connecting block, the socket 5 and the plug rod 8 to rotate, and synchronously drives the key tooth pattern 7 to rotate, so that the key tooth pattern 7 rotates the tooth groove of the inner end surface of the keyhole to complete the opening of the tank hatch. Since the connection block on the connecting rod and the socket 5 on the plug rod 8 are detachable structures, the same handle can be equipped with multiple plug-in parts according to the different keyholes matched with the tank hatch. Such a connection method can be adapted to various types of tanks and can ensure the normal opening of each tank hatch, so that the adaptability of the entire tank hatch key is strong.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the plug-in part is equipped with a ratchet wrench, the connecting rod is the wrench rod 1 of the ratchet wrench, and the connecting block is the chuck 4 on the wrench head 2 of the ratchet wrench. It should be noted that the L-shaped wrench in the prior art needs to be lifted up to adjust the direction after rotating half a circle, and the lifting and putting action wastes a lot of time. The utility model adopts the ratchet wrench as the handle, which only needs to be rotated back and forth, which not only saves the time wasted in picking up and putting down the L-shaped wrench, but also makes opening and closing the hatch less laborious, and completes the operation of opening and closing the hatch in a time-saving and labor-saving manner, thereby improving the efficiency of opening the tank hatch and gaining an advantage for the use of tanks on the battlefield.

[0028] Further, a knob for changing the rotation direction of the chuck 4 is provided on the side of the wrench head 2 opposite to the chuck 4. By means of the knob, the unidirectional rotation of the chuck 4 is changed, thereby driving the rotation of the insertion part. Different rotation directions of the knob 3 determine the rotation direction of the insertion part, achieving the purpose of opening and closing the hatch.

[0029] Further, a positioning ring 6 with a flexible structure is coaxially and tightly sleeved on the insertion rod 8, and the outer peripheral wall of the positioning ring 6 is coaxially abutted against the inner peripheral wall of the keyhole. On the one hand, by providing the positioning ring 6, it is possible to cope with keyholes of different apertures on different types of tanks. The positioning ring 6 is sleeved on the insertion rod 8 so that it can adapt to the corresponding keyhole aperture, playing a fixing role, thereby increasing the adaptation range. On the other hand, in the direction of the central axis of the rotation of the insertion rod 8, due to the presence of the positioning ring 6, the insertion rod 8 can be stabilized in the keyhole, ensuring that the insertion rod 8 does not shake when turning the key handle, avoiding the situation in the prior art that there is no fixing object in the direction of the rotation axis of the key end of the L-shaped wrench, so manual control is required to apply force in the direction of the rotation axis of the key end during the rotation process to prevent it from tilting and causing the key to fall off, resulting in a reduction in work efficiency. Through the design of the positioning ring 6, the stability in the direction of the rotation axis of the insertion rod 8 can be satisfied, improving the safety of its use. Preferably, the positioning ring 6 is of a rubber ring structure for convenient material selection and reduced use cost.

[0030] Preferably, both the chuck 4 and the jack 5 are of a multi-prismatic structure, and the radial cross-sections of the chuck 4 and the jack 5 are matched to ensure that after the chuck 4 and the jack 5 are inserted and matched, they can rotate stably and synchronously, avoiding the situation that when they are both circular structures, it is easy to have asynchronous rotation.

[0031] Further, the key tooth pattern 7 is coaxially arranged with the insertion rod 8, the key tooth pattern 7 extends along the radial direction of the insertion rod 8, and both ends of the key tooth pattern 7 protrude from the outer peripheral wall of the insertion rod 8. Only by connecting the card lumps to fit the tooth grooves can the hatch be effectively rotated and opened, without the need for the entire insertion rod 8 to be adapted to the tooth grooves, reducing the manufacturing difficulty. Moreover, through the structural design of the key tooth pattern 7, the positioning ring 6 can be limited on the insertion rod 8, preventing it from detaching from the insertion rod 8 and affecting the rotation.

[0032] And as a specific implementation manner, the keyholes of different tanks and the structures of their matching insertion rods 8 are basically matched. Therefore, the insertion rod 8 can be limited by the positioning ring 6. The positioning ring 6 can be limited on the insertion rod 8 to prevent the insertion rod from shaking during the opening process. Since the tooth grooves of the keyholes of different tanks are different and the key tooth pattern 7 is adapted to the tooth grooves, only the key tooth pattern 7 needs to be modified for the design of different tank holes, reducing the manufacturing difficulty.

[0033] Moreover, the end face of the insertion rod 8 exposed from the keyhole is flush with the outer end face of the keyhole, which can not only prevent the insertion rod 8 from being too long and protruding from the keyhole, affecting the rotation space of the handle part, but also enable the recognition chuck 4 to be aligned and clamped with the insertion hole 5.

[0034] Adaptations made according to actual requirements are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and the present utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive.

Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present utility model. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.

[0036] Specific examples are used in the present utility model to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present utility model; at the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the present utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope.
