Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of torque wrench technology, specifically a torque wrench. Background Technology
[0002] Torque wrenches are indispensable tools in industrial production and automotive repair, with a wide range of applications. They are specifically designed for tightening bolts and nuts, ensuring that tightening operations meet stringent specifications by precisely controlling the applied torque.
[0003] However, in practical applications, common torque wrenches often require frequent changes of different models when dealing with bolts of different sizes. For example, different sized nuts may require different sized wrenches, necessitating the availability of multiple torque wrenches. At the same time, confined spaces often limit wrench usage; even if a smaller wrench can be used, the change in lever arm can lead to inaccurate torque. Specifically, a longer lever arm results in a lower actual torque, while a shorter lever arm results in a higher torque, affecting tightening accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a torque wrench with the advantages of strong adaptability, which solves the problem of poor adaptability.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a torque wrench with the following advantages:
[0016] This torque wrench, through the design of its socket, fixed block, and moving part, and the cooperation of components such as the sliding groove, moving part, fixed shaft, and fixed block, achieves convenient adaptation to bolts of different sizes. During operation, first, the fixed shaft is pulled out, and then the fixed block is placed at the top of the designated nut. Downward pressure is applied and the fixed block is rotated to align it with the nut. For mismatched fixed blocks, resistance will be encountered during sliding; this is overcome by the cooperation of the moving part and the sliding groove, thus smoothly adapting to different nut sizes without frequent torque wrench changes. The design of the connecting part and connector allows for the release of the bottom locking block from the connector by dragging the push part at the top of the connecting part. The connection length between the connecting part and the connector can then be adjusted to ensure that the torque wrench maintains the set lever arm length after being connected to the handle. Subsequent pushes of the push part engage the locking block with the connector to prevent movement, thus avoiding torque deviations caused by lever arm changes when changing wrenches.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 ,
[0027] A torque wrench includes a handle 1 and a connector 2. A screw 13 is provided on the connecting end face of the connector 2 and the handle 1, and the connector 2 and the handle 1 are connected by the screw 13. The connector 2 is connected to a connector 3. A push part 10 is provided on the top of the connector 2. The push part 10 is connected to a locking block 12 inside the connector 2 through a connecting rod 11. A sleeve 4 is installed on the connector 3. Multiple fixing blocks 5 are provided inside the sleeve 4. The outermost fixing block 5 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 4. The outer fixing block 5 at the mating point of two fixing blocks 5 is provided with a sliding groove. A moving part 7 is provided at the mating point of the inner fixing block 5 and the outer fixing block 5 sliding groove. A cover plate 8 is provided on the top of the fixing block 5.
[0028] In this example, the screw 13 is installed at the center of the mating end of the connector 2 and the handle 1. The opposite side of the mounting end face of the screw 13 of the connector 2 is provided with a square hole that mates with the connector head 3. The top of the connector 2 is provided with a sliding groove that mates with the connecting rod 11.
[0029] It should be noted that the arrangement of the screw 13 installation position helps to maintain the symmetry and stability of the force during torque transmission, ensuring that the torque is evenly transmitted to the handle 1. The square hole provides a firm connection, which helps to ensure the stability between the connector 3 and the connector 2, especially when the torque requirement is high, and prevents loosening.
[0030] In this example, the connector 3 and the sleeve 4 are provided with a through hole that mates with the sleeve 4. The connecting rod 11 is installed at the middle position of the top of the locking block 12, and the locking block 12 is trapezoidal. The top of the connector 3 and the connector 2 is provided with a trapezoidal groove that mates with the locking block 12.
[0031] It should be noted that the through-hole design allows the connector 3 to be firmly inserted into the sleeve 4, thereby ensuring a stable connection when transmitting torque. The trapezoidal design allows the locking block 12 to enter the slide groove more accurately during the mating process, reducing the possibility of slippage or loosening and improving the durability and safety of the entire device.
[0032] In this example, the cover plate 8 is installed at the top of the groove of the fixing block 5. The fixing block 5 and the cover plate 8 are provided with a hole that mates with the cover plate 8. The top surface of the cover plate 8 after installation is flush with the top surface of the fixing block 5. The cover plate 8 is provided with a through hole that mates with the fastening bolt 9, and the fixing block 5 is provided with a threaded hole that mates with the fastening bolt 9.
[0033] It should be noted that the top surface of the cover plate 8 is flush with the top surface of the fixing block 5, maintaining the overall flatness and aesthetics, preventing the cover plate 8 from protruding and causing interference or scratches. The through-hole design facilitates the installation and removal of bolts, allowing the cover plate 8 to be fastened to the fixing block 5, and also making it easy to replace or maintain the cover plate 8.
[0034] In this example, the rear ends of the connector 3, sleeve 4 and multiple fixing blocks 5 are all provided with round holes, the fixing shaft 6 is installed inside the round holes, the joint between the connector 3 and the fixing shaft 6 is provided with a threaded hole, and the joint between the sleeve 4 and the fixing blocks 5 and the fixing shaft 6 is provided with a through hole.
[0035] It should be noted that the design of the circular holes ensures the precise positioning of these components in the structure and connects them through the fixed shaft 6 to form a stable whole. Through the through-mounting of the fixed shaft 6, the entire assembly forms a unified structure, which helps to ensure the firmness of the connection and reduces the risk of loosening of the components during non-operation.
[0036] In this example, the sliding groove and the movable part 7 provided on the fixed block 5 are both T-shaped, and the two ends of the movable part 7 are slidably connected to the sliding groove. The connection between the fixed block 5 and the movable part 7 is set in a stepped shape, and the top of the stepped shape is set in a rounded corner.
[0037] It should be noted that the T-shaped structure restricts the vertical displacement of the moving part 7, allowing it to slide only along the direction of the slide groove, thereby enhancing the accuracy and safety of the structure. The stepped design also serves as a layered guide, keeping the moving part 7 stable when sliding in the slide groove, while preventing deviation in the horizontal or vertical direction.
[0038] In summary: When using this torque wrench, first place the socket 4 and the fixing block 5 directly above the nut, then pull out the fixing shaft 6. The operator manually applies downward pressure, causing the socket 4 and the fixing block 5 to move downwards together. During this movement, any mismatched fixing blocks 5 will be pushed upwards by the bolt. Using the moving part 7 and the sliding groove design on the fixing blocks 5, the mismatched fixing blocks 5 will slide upwards until the appropriate fixing block 5 securely engages the bolt. This design avoids the hassle of repeatedly changing torque wrenches according to the bolt size. When entering confined spaces, there is no need to change the torque wrench; the operator only needs to push the push part 10 on the connector 2 to adjust the length between the connector 3 and the connector 2 as needed, thereby lengthening or shortening the lever arm. This design not only improves the tool's adaptability but also ensures torque accuracy in confined spaces.
[0039] Beneficial effects:
[0040] This torque wrench, through the design of its socket, fixed block, and moving part, and the cooperation of components such as the sliding groove, moving part, fixed shaft, and fixed block, achieves convenient adaptation to bolts of different sizes. During operation, first, the fixed shaft is pulled out, and then the fixed block is placed at the top of the designated nut. Downward pressure is applied and the fixed block is rotated to align it with the nut. For mismatched fixed blocks, resistance will be encountered during sliding; this is overcome by the cooperation of the moving part and the sliding groove, thus smoothly adapting to different nut sizes without frequent torque wrench changes. The design of the connecting part and connector allows for the release of the bottom locking block from the connector by dragging the push part at the top of the connecting part. The connection length between the connecting part and the connector can then be adjusted to ensure that the torque wrench maintains the set lever arm length after being connected to the handle. Subsequent pushes of the push part engage the locking block with the connector to prevent movement, thus avoiding torque deviations caused by lever arm changes when changing wrenches.
