Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bathroom, specifically relates to an improved hose wrench. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to facilitate the installation of the hose, the existing hose will generally be matched with a wrench. The wrench is provided on the hose for installing and dismounting the hose.

[0003] The wrench on the hose is sleeved on the hose, and the wrench remains on the hose after locking the nut, cannot be used for other hoses, not only causes waste but also is not beautiful enough. In order to make the wrench on the hose convenient to install and take down, there are Chinese patent CN205734635U (publication date is 2016.11.30) and Chinese patent CN218776505U (publication date is 2022.10.25) on the market at present, which realizes the combination by inserting the protrusion into the slot of the other part along the axial direction or the direction perpendicular to the axial direction to lock the nut.

[0004] However, the structure of the two patents needs to put two components behind the hose body, and the two opposite surfaces need to be aligned to realize the installation, which is not convenient to operate, and there is still room for improvement.

[0005] Therefore, the present application is produced in view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide an improved hose wrench, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art and has the characteristics of conveniently sleeving the hexagonal wrench on the hose.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the solution of the utility model is:

[0008] An improved hose wrench, wherein a first body and a second body are included, a first half cavity is formed on the first body, and a second half cavity is formed on the second body, the first half cavity and the second half cavity can form a complete locking cavity for accommodating the nut of the hose; first left and right ear plates are respectively formed at both ends of the first body, and second left and right ear plates are respectively formed at both ends of the second body, the end portions of the first left and right ear plates and the second left and right ear plates are rotatably connected through a pivot connection structure; the second left and right ear plates are detachably buckled and connected through a buckling structure.

[0009] Further, the pivot connection structure includes a pivot shaft and a C-shaped buckle, the pivot shaft is clamped into the inner cavity of the C-shaped buckle through the opening of the C-shaped buckle, and the pivot shaft rotates in the C-shaped buckle; the opening direction of the C-shaped buckle faces the locking cavity.

[0010] Further, the opening width of the C-shaped buckle is smaller than the diameter of the pivot shaft, and the pivot shaft is extruded from the opening of the C-shaped buckle into the inner cavity of the C-shaped buckle.

[0011] Further, the pivot shaft is integrally formed on the first left ear plate, and the C-shaped buckle is integrally formed on the second left ear plate.

[0012] Further, the pivot shaft is integrally formed on the second left ear plate, and the C-shaped buckle is integrally formed on the first left ear plate.

[0013] Further, the buckling structure comprises a plug block and a plug slot, the plug block is clamped into the plug slot with the relative rotation of the first body and the second body; the side surface of the plug block is provided with a pit, and the side surface of the plug slot is provided with a convex point; when the plug block and the plug slot are buckled, the convex point is clamped into the pit.

[0014] Further, the plug block is integrally formed on the first right ear plate, and the plug slot is integrally formed on the second right ear plate.

[0015] Further, the plug block is integrally formed on the second right ear plate, and the plug slot is integrally formed on the first right ear plate.

[0016] Further, the head of the plug block is provided with a first guide inclined surface, and the opening of the plug slot is provided with a second guide inclined surface.

[0017] Further, the locking cavity formed by the first half cavity and the second half cavity has an inner hexagonal inner wall, and a partition strip is arranged in the middle of the locking cavity, and the partition strip divides the locking cavity into two inner hexagonal wrench positions facing opposite directions.

[0018] After the above structure is adopted, the improved soft tube wrench has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] I. Since the first body and the second body are detachably connected through the first left ear plate and the second left ear plate on one side, the first body and the second body can be connected in advance through the pivot structure, and then the first left ear plate and the second left ear plate are expanded and the openings formed on one side of the first right ear plate and the second right ear plate are used to make the soft tube pass through, and then the first right ear plate and the second right ear plate are buckled through the buckling structure.

[0020] Due to the advance rotation connection of the first body and the second body, the buckling structure of the first body and the second body can only be buckled around the relative rotation of the first body and the second body, so that the connection of the first body and the second body is very convenient, especially suitable for the situation that the nut of the hose has been preliminarily screwed (but not tightened) or needs to be unscrewed, because in this case, the hose is installed at the lower part of the water heater (at this time, the position of the hose is higher), or the hose is installed below the sink (at this time, it is often necessary to bend down to reach below the sink), and the installation line of sight of the wrench is blocked.

[0021] II. The pivot connection structure adopts the cooperation of a C-shaped buckle and a pivot shaft, and the pivot shaft can be pulled out only with force after being clamped into the opening of the C-shaped buckle. The diameter of the pivot shaft matches the inner diameter of the C-shaped buckle, so that the two can rotate smoothly. The C-shaped buckle is arranged so that when the nut is screwed, the C-shaped buckle hooks the pivot shaft, so that the two do not separate.

[0022] III. The buckling structure adopts the design of a plug-in block and a plug-in slot, plus convex points and concave pits, so that it is not easy to be uncontrollably separated after clamping. The plug-in block and the plug-in slot cooperate to limit the axial relative movement of the first body and the second body.

[0023] IV. When in use, the user pinches the first body and the second body, especially the first right body and the second right body, and puts the locking cavity on the nut to realize the rotation of the nut. The separation strip serves as an abutment at the top end of the nut, so that when the user uses the wrench, the locking cavity remains connected with the nut to better apply force.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the first body and the second body can enclose a complete locking cavity for accommodating the nut of the hose, and one end of the first body and the second body is connected in advance through the pivot connection structure, and then the other side is connected through the buckling structure after being sleeved with the hose, so that it is convenient to use when the line of sight is poor at the position of the hose.
