Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of torque wrenches, and particularly to a torque wrench with adjustable length. Background Art

[0002] A torque wrench is a tool that can set the torque value when tightening bolts and nuts. When using a torque wrench, it is necessary to correctly set the torque value according to specific requirements and use and calibrate it in accordance with the operating specifications to ensure its accuracy and reliability. For example, during the assembly process of an automotive engine, a torque wrench is used to tighten the bolts at key positions to ensure the performance and safety of the engine.

[0003] After checking the publication number: CN 219582725 U, a torque wrench is disclosed. In this technology, it is disclosed that "it includes a handle, a force-limiting component, and a chuck. The force-limiting component includes a fixed cam, a moving cam, and an elastic member. The fixed cam is rotatably connected to the handle, and a first cam surface is provided on one end surface of the fixed cam; the moving cam is slidably connected to the handle, the moving cam can rotate with the handle, a second cam surface that cooperates with the first cam surface is provided on the end surface of the moving cam facing the fixed cam, the central axis of the moving cam coincides with the central axis of the fixed cam, and the slidable direction of the moving cam is parallel to the central axis of the fixed cam; the opposite ends of the elastic member respectively abut against the end surface of the moving cam facing away from the fixed cam and the handle, and the telescopic direction of the elastic member is parallel to the slidable direction of the moving cam; the chuck is located outside the handle and is connected to the fixed cam to rotate with the fixed cam, and at least one clamping opening for clamping the workpiece is provided on the chuck" and other technical solutions, which have the technical effect of limiting the torque output to the chuck through the force-limiting component during the screwing process to avoid damaging the workpiece due to excessive torque.

[0004] Regarding the above related technology, the inventor believes that the above torque wrench is not convenient for length adjustment. Since the positions of bolts and nuts are different, the operating space at some positions is small. At this time, if the wrench is too long, it may affect the use, and if the wrench is too short, it may be more laborious. The fixed length limits the use of the wrench. Moreover, the pins supporting most torque wrenches are easily lost. Most pins are stored in a specific box. When the wrench is in use, the box is usually placed aside. If the pins can be placed inside the wrench for storage, the probability of their loss can be greatly reduced. Therefore, a torque wrench with adjustable length is needed to solve the above problems.
