[0024] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a typical embodiment of the present invention provides a novel three-section torque wrench, including a hexagonal socket 1, an inner handle 2, a middle handle 3, an outer handle 4, a middle locking groove 5, a middle locking block 6, an outer locking groove 7 and an outer locking block 8, wherein:
[0026] The outer handle 4 is sleeved on the outside of the middle handle 3, which is sleeved on the outside of the inner handle 2. The front end of the inner handle 2 extends out of the middle handle 3 and is connected to the side of the hexagonal socket 1. The middle handle 3 and the outer handle 4 are both tubular structures with an open front end and a closed rear end. The inner handle 2 is fixedly connected to the hexagonal socket 1.
[0027] The middle locking groove 5 and outer locking groove 7 are equidistantly defined on the inner wall surfaces of the middle handle 3 and outer handle 4, respectively, and are evenly distributed along the axial direction. The middle locking block 6 and outer locking block 8 are both mounted on the inner handle 2. The middle locking block 6 enters the middle locking groove 5 through its outer end to lock the inner handle 2 and the middle handle 3. The outer handle 4 enters the outer locking groove 7 through its outer end to lock the middle handle 3 and the outer handle 4.
[0028] The inner diameter of the outer handle is greater than the outer diameter of the middle handle 3, the inner diameter of the middle handle 3 is greater than the outer diameter of the inner handle 2, and the difference between the inner diameter of the outer handle 4 and the outer diameter of the middle handle 3 is equal to the difference between the inner diameter of the middle handle 3 and the outer diameter of the inner handle 2. In the locked state, the length of the outer end of the middle locking block 6 extending beyond the inner handle 2 is the same as the length of the outer end of the outer locking block 8 extending beyond the middle handle 3.
[0029] The front end of the outer handle 4 is provided with an outer collar 9, the inner surface of which is in contact with the outer surface of the middle handle 3. The front end of the middle handle 3 is provided with a middle collar 10, the inner surface of which is a circular cross-section. The inner surface of the middle collar 10 is in line contact with the surface of the inner handle 2, while the inner surface of the outer collar 9 is in surface contact with the outer surface of the middle handle 3. At this time, the rear end of the middle handle 3 can swing, and when the middle handle 3 swings, the outer handle 4 can swing synchronously with it.
[0030] The outer locking block 8 and the inner locking block are both perpendicular to the axial direction of the hexagonal sleeve 1. The outer handle 4 and the middle handle 3 are tilted to one side so that the outer locking groove 7 is covered with the outer end of the outer locking block 8, and the middle locking groove 5 is covered with the outer end of the middle locking block 6.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the middle handle 3 and the inner handle 2 are parallel, the middle locking block 6 is separated from the middle locking groove 5, and the outer locking block 8 is separated from the outer locking groove 7. At this point, the middle handle 3 can be flexibly pulled from the outside of the inner handle 2, or the outer handle 4 can be pulled from the outside of the middle handle 3 to adjust the wrench to the appropriate length. During the process of turning the bolt or nut, the middle handle 3 and the outer handle 4 swing outward from the inner handle 2 in the direction of turning the bolt or nut, so that the middle locking groove 5 fits over the outer end of the middle locking block 6, and the outer locking groove 7 fits over the outer end of the outer locking block 8. This, in turn, secures the inner handle 2 to the middle handle 3, and the middle handle 3 to the outer handle 4 in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, during the process of turning the nut or bolt, the overall length of the wrench handle portion remains unchanged.
[0032] On this basis, a through slot 11 is formed on the side of the middle handle 3, and the outer end of the outer locking block 8 passes through the through slot 11. Specifically, when the middle handle 3 moves on the inner handle 2, the through slot 11 moves outside the outer locking block 8, and the through slot 11 provides space for the outer end of the outer locking block 8 to be inserted into the outer locking groove 7.
[0033] A middle locking block 6 is provided on either side of the outer locking block 8. The outer locking groove 7 and the middle locking groove 5 are both arranged in an annular structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two outer locking blocks 8, which are symmetrically distributed on either side of the inner handle 2. Each outer locking block 8 is provided with a middle locking block 6 on both sides, and the middle locking blocks 6 are located on both sides of the through groove 11.
[0034] The middle locking block 6 and the outer locking block are both arranged at the rear end of the inner handle 2. Such arrangement enables the middle handle 3 and the outer handle 4 to have a maximum distance for rearward displacement, thereby maximizing the overall length of the wrench.
[0035] Among them, a sliding rod 12 is passed through the inside of the inner handle 2, and a triangular top block 13 is provided at the front end of the sliding rod 12. The front end of the top block 13 extends into the inner hexagonal sleeve 1, and the inner ends of the middle locking block 6 and the outer locking block 8 are rotatably mounted on the tail end of the sliding rod 12. A strip hole 14 is opened on the middle locking block 6 and the outer locking block 8. A mounting rod 15 is passed through the strip hole 14, and the mounting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the inner handle 2. A front top spring 16 is provided between the rear end of the sliding rod 12 and the rear end of the inner handle 2.
[0036] In the initial state, the front top spring 16 makes the slide rod 12 located at the frontmost position in the inner sleeve. At this time, the top block 13 extends into the hexagonal sleeve 1, and the inner locking block and the outer locking block 8 are both in a state where the outer ends are tilted forward. The mounting rod 15 is located at the rear end of the cavity of the strip hole 14, and the outer ends of the inner locking block and the outer locking block 8 are respectively inserted into the inner lock groove and the outer lock groove 7. At this time, the length of the handle part of the wrench is fixed.
[0037] When the hexagon socket 1 is put on the rotating bolt or nut, the top block 13 is squeezed backward and drives the slide bar 12 to move backward to compress the front top spring 16. During this process, the slide bar 12 pulls the inner and outer locking blocks 8 backward, causing the strip hole 14 to move backward outside the mounting rod 15 until the mounting rod 15 is put on the front end of the cavity of the strip hole 14. Then, after the hexagon socket 1 is put on the rotating bolt or nut, the inner and outer locking blocks 8 are separated from the inner and outer locking grooves 7 respectively.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
