DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a universal open-end electric wrench includes a wrench body 100, a mounting base 200, a rotating wheel 300, a clamping tool 400, a gear assembly 500, a limiter 600 and a flange 700.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a universal open-end electric wrench comprises:

[0029] The wrench body 100 includes a driving member 120;

[0030] The clamping assembly includes a mounting base 200, a rotating wheel 300 rotatably mounted on the mounting base 200 and connected to the driving member 120, and a clamping fixture 400 detachably mounted on the rotating wheel 300. The rotating wheel 300 is provided with an open slot 320 communicating with the outside. The clamping fixture 400 includes a clamping slot 410 adapted to the shape of the workpiece 800. The clamping slot 410 is a hollow structure and has a first notch 420 longitudinally aligned with the open slot 320. When the driving member 120 drives the rotating wheel 300 to rotate, the clamping fixture 400 rotates synchronously and drives the workpiece 800 engaged with the clamping slot 410 to rotate synchronously, thereby tightening or loosening the workpiece 800. The detachable design of the clamping fixture 400 allows users to replace different models of clamping fixtures 400 according to their needs to adapt to workpieces 800 of different shapes and sizes, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the tool. Compared with replacing a special tool head or wrench, the clamping tool 400 is not only portable but also reduces the cost of purchasing tools.

[0031] In this embodiment, the workpiece 800 includes a screw rod 810 and a nut 820 rotatably disposed on the screw rod 810 .

[0032] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the wrench body 100 serves as a power drive component of the electric wrench, which includes a shell 110 and a driving member 120 built into the shell 110. The output end of the driving member 120 extends out of the shell 110 to be connected to the clamping assembly and drive the clamping assembly to rotate to tighten or loosen the workpiece 800.

[0033] In this embodiment, a flange 700 is further provided between the wrench body 100 and the clamping assembly. One side of the flange 700 is detachably connected to the clamping assembly, and the other side is detachably connected to the wrench body 100. The flange 700 has a connecting hole for the output end of the driving member 120 to pass through, which effectively ensures the stability of the connection between the wrench body 100 and the clamping assembly, while also improving the convenience of replacing and maintaining the wrench body 100 or the clamping assembly.

[0034] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a mounting base 200, a rotating wheel 300 rotatably arranged in the mounting base 200 and connected to the driving member 120, and a clamping tool 400 detachably arranged on the rotating wheel 300. On the one hand, the clamping tool 400 can rotate synchronously with the rotation of the rotating wheel 300 to tighten or loosen the workpiece 800. On the other hand, it can be replaced according to usage needs, thereby improving the versatility of the electric wrench.

[0035] In this embodiment, the mounting base 200 includes a detachably connected base plate 210 and a protective cover 220. The rotating wheel 300 and the gear assembly 500 are rotatably arranged on the base plate 210. The protective cover 220 forms a covering for the gear assembly 500 to prevent debris from entering the gear assembly 500, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the rotation of the rotating wheel 300.

[0036] In this embodiment, both the base plate 210 and the protective cover 220 are provided with a first through-hole 230 for the clamping fixture 400 to pass through, and a second notch 240 that mates with the first notch 420. The design of the first through-hole 230 allows for quick positioning of the clamping fixture 400, improving the efficiency of its installation. The design of the second notch 240 allows the screw 810 of the workpiece 800 to be inserted into the clamping fixture 400 from the side, allowing the electric wrench to handle the need to tighten or loosen the nut 820 when both ends of the screw 810 are closed.

[0037] In this embodiment, the protective cover 220 is further provided with a second through hole 221 for the output end of the driving member 120 to pass through, so that the output end of the driving member 120 can smoothly extend into the protective cover 220 and connect with the gear assembly 500.

[0038] In this embodiment, the rotating wheel 300 is provided with a U-shaped opening trough 320 communicating with the outside, for allowing the screw 810 to extend horizontally from the side into the clamping fixture 400. The rotating wheel 300 is also provided with an annular receiving groove 310 for mounting the clamping fixture 400. The receiving groove 310 extends axially along the rotating wheel 300, and the opening trough 320 extends from the edge of the rotating wheel 300 toward the centerline of the receiving groove 310 and penetrates the receiving groove 310 axially along the rotating wheel 300. The provision of the receiving groove 310 enables rapid positioning of the installation position of the clamping fixture 400, making the installation of the clamping fixture 400 simpler and more convenient, and improving installation efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, the receiving grooves 310 are provided in two groups, arranged along the circumference of the rotating wheel 300, and a partition 330 is provided between the two groups of receiving grooves 310. The opening groove 320 is provided on the partition 330 and passes through the two groups of receiving grooves 310 along the circumference of the rotating wheel 300. By providing two groups of receiving grooves 310 and separating them with the partition 330, on the one hand, two groups of different types of clamping fixtures 400 can be installed, which enriches the optionality of the clamping fixtures 400, reduces the need for replacement of the clamping fixtures 400, and improves work efficiency; on the other hand, two groups of the same type of clamping fixtures 400 can be installed, so that the workpiece 800 can be fixed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the clamping assembly, effectively improving operational efficiency and convenience.

[0040] Preferably, in this embodiment, the clamping fixture 400 is fixed in the receiving groove 310 by screws.

[0041] In order to drive the rotating wheel 300, in this embodiment, the driving member 120 is connected to the rotating wheel 300 through the gear assembly 500, and the outer wall of the rotating wheel 300 is circumferentially arranged with gear teeth 340 that mesh with the gear assembly 500, which effectively ensures the effective and smooth transmission of power and improves the overall performance of the electric wrench.

[0042] In this embodiment, the gear assembly 500 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 200 via screws. The gear assembly 500 includes a power gear 510 connected to the output end of the driving member 120, and driven gears 520 that mesh with the power gear 510 and the rotating wheel 300, respectively. The driven gears 520 are provided in two sets, arranged in a left-right configuration between the rotating wheel 300 and the power gear 510, and form a triangular layout with the power gear 510. The design of the power gear 510 and the two sets of driven gears 520 ensures that when the first notch 420 rotates to any one of the driven gears 520, the other driven gear 520 will still mesh with the rotating wheel 300 and drive the rotating wheel 300 to rotate, ensuring efficient and stable power transmission and effectively preventing the rotating wheel 300 from stalling due to contact between the first notch 420 and the driven gear.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mounting seat 200 is further provided with a plurality of limiting members 600 arranged along the circumference of the rotating wheel 300. The limiting member 600 has a limiting portion rotatably connected to the rotating wheel 300, and the limiting portion forms an axial limit for the rotating wheel 300, effectively controlling the circumferential position of the rotating wheel 300 and ensuring the stable operation of the rotating wheel 300.

[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are four limiting members 600, which are rotatably connected to the mounting base 200 through screws. When the first notch 420 is rotated to any one of the limiting members 600, the remaining limiting members 600 can still limit the longitudinal movement of the rotating wheel 300, effectively improving the reliability of the limitation.

[0045] In this embodiment, the limiting portion includes a first limiting surface 610 and a second limiting surface 620 arranged along the axial direction of the rotating wheel 300. The first limiting surface 610 and the second limiting surface 620 are respectively in contact with the outer wall of the rotating wheel 300, thereby limiting the longitudinal upward or downward movement of the rotating wheel 300. There is a gap between the first limiting surface 610 and the second limiting surface 620 that is highly adapted to the gear teeth 340, which effectively avoids the gap with the gear teeth 340 and ensures the stability of the rotation of the rotating wheel 300.

[0046] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first limiting surface 610 and the second limiting surface 620 are arranged at an angle and connected by a cylinder, and there is a gap between the cylinder and the gear teeth 340. This design not only ensures the fit between the limiting member 600 and the rotating wheel 300, but also avoids interference with the rotation of the rotating wheel 300.

[0047] To clamp and rotate the nut 820, in this embodiment, a removable clamping fixture 400 is provided on the rotating wheel 300. The clamping fixture 400 is annular and has a hollow clamping groove 410 that matches the shape of the nut 820, which is used to clamp the nut 820 for tightening or loosening. The clamping fixture 400 has a first notch 420 that is longitudinally aligned with the opening groove 320. The first notch 420 extends from the edge of the clamping fixture 400 toward the centerline of the clamping groove 410 and axially penetrates the clamping fixture 400 to communicate with the clamping groove 410. The first notch 420 cooperates with the opening groove 320 and the second notch 240 to allow the screw 810 to extend from the side into the accommodating groove 310.

[0048] Preferably, in this embodiment, the diameters of the first notch 420 , the second notch 240 and the opening groove 320 are all larger than the diameter of the screw 810 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the clamping groove 410 is coaxial with the rotating wheel 300 and is detachably connected to the rotating wheel 300 by a screw. The size of the clamping groove 410 is adapted to the size of the nut 820. Preferably, in this embodiment, two groups of clamping grooves 410 with the same or different structures are provided on the rotating wheel 300 to achieve clamping of different types of nuts 820, or to achieve clamping of the nuts 820 on both the upper and lower surfaces.

[0050] In this embodiment, the clamping groove 410 includes a plurality of arc-shaped recesses 411 arranged in a ring shape and connected in sequence. The two ends of the arc-shaped recesses 411 are respectively connected to the first notch 420 to adapt to the shape of the nut 820, thereby enhancing the clamping ability of the clamping tool 400 on the nut 820 and improving the stability of the operation.

[0051] In this embodiment, the clamping fixture 400 further includes a plurality of first mounting holes 430 arranged circumferentially along the clamping groove 410. The first mounting holes 430 extend through the clamping fixture 400. Furthermore, the partition plate 330 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 331 corresponding one-to-one with the first mounting holes 430. The second mounting holes 331 extend through the partition plate 330, so that both clamping fixtures 400 can be fixed to the rotating wheel 300 via screws. The cooperation between the first mounting holes 430 and the second mounting holes 331 ensures a reliable connection between the clamping fixture 400 and the rotating wheel 300, thereby improving the overall performance of the electric wrench.
