[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an explosion-proof ratchet screwdriver includes a handle 1 and a fixing core fixedly disposed at the front end of the handle 1; the rear part of the fixing core is fixedly connected to the handle 1, and the middle and front parts of the fixing core are respectively rotatably connected to a reversing sleeve and a ratchet core; the fixing core and the ratchet core are fixed at both ends along the axial direction by a pin 2 to achieve relative rotation. The outer side of the handle 1 is provided with an anti-slip groove 26.

[0031] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the fixing core includes a connecting cylinder 3, a positioning ring platform 4, and a fixing cylinder 5 arranged coaxially in sequence, and can be integrally injection molded. The fixing cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the handle 1; a reinforcing block 20 is provided on the outer side of the fixing cylinder 5, which increases the contact area between the fixing cylinder and the handle, making it more secure.

[0032] The outer wall of the connecting cylinder 3 is provided with a groove 6 parallel to the axial direction. The upper part of the connecting cylinder 3, within the groove 6, has a first elongated hole 7 and a second elongated hole 8 that are parallel to each other. The lower part of the connecting cylinder 3, on the opposite side wall of the groove 6, has a third elongated hole 9 arranged radially. A compression spring 10 is respectively installed within the first elongated hole 7, the second elongated hole 8, and the third elongated hole 9, and a top bead 11 is provided at the free end of each compression spring 10. A shift fork 12 is provided on the outer side of the first elongated hole 7 and the second elongated hole 8. The groove is located on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder, and its specific shape can be adapted to different designs, primarily to provide space for the coordinated action of the reversing paddle and the shift fork. The first and second elongated holes are located on either side of the central hole of the connecting cylinder, cooperating with the shift fork to realize the swinging of the shift fork and the unidirectional rotation of the ratchet core.

[0033] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the reversing sleeve includes a ring sleeve 13 fitted onto the outer side of the bottom of the connecting cylinder 3. The inner wall of the ring sleeve 13 has three top bead grooves 14 corresponding to the third elongated hole 9, arranged along the same horizontal plane. A reversing paddle 15 is provided on the inner wall of the ring sleeve 13 on the opposite side of the top bead grooves 14; the reversing paddle 15 abuts against the shift fork 12 on the outside of the shift fork 12. The reversing paddle 15 is parallel to the axial direction of the ring sleeve 13. When the ring sleeve rotates, the top bead of the compression spring in the third elongated hole can be positioned in three different top bead grooves, thus positioning the ring sleeve. That is, the ring sleeve has three fixed positions, and correspondingly, the reversing paddle on the ring sleeve also has three fixed positions, controlling the shift fork to be in three states, thereby enabling the ratchet core to turn left, neutral, and right.

[0034] like Figure 8 As shown, the ratchet core includes a bit fixing post 16 and a ratchet sleeve 17 coaxially connected. The inner wall of the ratchet sleeve 17 is provided with ratchet teeth 18. The two ends of the shift fork 12 are provided with teeth 19 corresponding to the ratchet teeth 18.

[0035] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the reversing lever is in the middle, i.e., in neutral, and the ratchet can rotate in both directions. When the ring is turned clockwise, the reversing lever presses upward against the upper part of the shift fork, compressing the spring in the first long hole and extending the spring in the second long hole. The lower part of the shift fork moves towards the ratchet sleeve and engages the ratchet teeth. The ratchet can only rotate counterclockwise at this time, and clockwise rotation is locked. Conversely, when the ring is turned counterclockwise, the reversing lever presses against the lower part of the shift fork, causing the teeth on the upper part of the shift fork to engage with the ratchet teeth. The ratchet can only rotate clockwise.

[0036] The front end of the handle 1 is provided with a positioning ring groove 21 that mates with the positioning ring platform 4, making the structure more compact after installation. The shift fork 12 is provided with grooves 22 that are adapted to the top ball 11 on the inner side of the first elongated hole 7 and the second elongated hole 8, ensuring that the top ball and the shift fork will not shift when they rotate relative to each other.

[0037] The ratchet core, bits, compression spring, top ball, and pin are all made of beryllium copper alloy, suitable for explosion-proof environments. The free end of the bit fixing post 16 has a hexagonal bit fixing hole 23 along its axial direction. The rear end of the handle 1 has a bit receiving groove 24, and a handle back cover 25 is threadedly connected to the tail of the handle 1. The tail end of the bit 27 is a hexagonal shape that fits into the bit fixing hole, facilitating installation and removal. The internal cavity of the handle accommodates multiple bits, eliminating the need for a separate toolbox and allowing for convenient bit changes during use.

[0038] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the spirit of the present utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of the present utility model, they are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
