[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] Example

[0031] This application discloses a torque wrench that facilitates the application of force. (Refer to...) Figure 1 It mainly includes a reaction arm device, which includes a connecting plate 1 arranged in an approximately T-shape. The connecting plate 1 is detachably installed on the head of the torque wrench 2. The connecting plate 1 has a mounting hole 13 for the head of the torque wrench 2 to pass through. The connecting plate 1 includes a first connecting part 11 and a second connecting part 12. The width of the second connecting part 12 is smaller than the width of the first connecting part 11. The mounting hole 13 is located on the first connecting part 11. A limit pin 3 is detachably installed on the second connecting part 12. The limit pin 3 is adapted to the adjacent bolt hole on the fastener.

[0032] Before using torque wrench 2 to tighten bolts, the operator can pre-install the reaction arm device on the head of torque wrench 2 and install the positioning pin on the second connecting part 12. When tightening the bolts, the operator can connect the connecting sleeve of the head of torque wrench 2 to the bolt and insert the limiting pin 3 into the adjacent bolt hole on the fastener. After the torque wrench 2 has completed the bolt tightening operation, the reaction arm device restricts the torque wrench 2, which can prevent the torque wrench 2 from causing injury to the operator.

[0033] At the same time, because the reaction arm device is small in size, it can be extended into a narrow space through the second connecting part 12 during fastening, which makes it convenient to perform bolt fastening operations in complex spaces.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A first mounting block 14 and a second mounting block 15 are detachably mounted on the side of the connecting plate 1 near the neck of the torque wrench 2. The second mounting block 15 is located between the first mounting block 14 and the connecting plate 1. An avoidance hole 16 is provided between the first mounting block 14 and the second mounting block 15 to avoid the neck of the torque wrench 2.

[0035] In the installation of the counterforce arm device, the operator can install the connecting plate 1 on the head of the torque wrench 2 through the installation hole 13 in advance, and then install the first mounting block 14 and the second mounting block 15 on the connecting plate 1, and realize the connection between the neck of the torque wrench 2 and the connecting plate 1 through the first mounting block 14 and the second mounting block 15, and realize the technical effect of detachable connection between the counterforce arm device and the torque wrench 2.

[0036] Referring to Figure 3 , two first threaded holes 141 are throughly formed on the first mounting block 14, and the two first threaded holes 141 are located on both sides of the avoiding hole 16; two second threaded holes 151 are throughly formed on the second mounting block 15, and the two second threaded holes 151 are coaxially arranged with the two first threaded holes 141, and the two second threaded holes 151 are located on both sides of the avoiding hole 16; two third threaded holes 17 are throughly formed on the connecting plate 1, and the two third threaded holes 17 are coaxially arranged with the two third threaded holes 17; the first mounting block 14 and the second mounting block 15 are detachably installed on the connecting plate 1 through two positioning bolts 18.

[0037] Through the two positioning bolts 18, the first mounting block 14 and the second mounting block 15 can be installed on the connecting plate 1 to realize the detachable connection between the counterforce arm device and the torque wrench 2.

[0038] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first mounting block 14 and the second mounting block 15 are both made of nylon block. The nylon block has excellent strength, toughness and wear resistance, which can improve the reliability of the connection between the connecting plate 1 and the torque wrench 2.

[0039] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the end of the second connecting portion 12 is provided with a fourth threaded hole 19, and the end of the limiting pin 3 is provided with a threaded connecting portion 31, and the limiting pin 3 is threadedly installed in the fourth threaded hole 19. Through the fourth threaded hole 19, the operator can conveniently install the limiting pin 3 on the second connecting portion 12. In some other embodiments, according to the hole diameter of the bolt hole, the operator can replace the limiting pin 3 according to the hole diameter of the bolt hole, which is not limited and described here.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the limiting pin 3 comprises a cylindrical tapered end 32 coaxially arranged with the limiting pin 3, the tapered end 32 is located at one end of the limiting pin 3 away from the second connecting portion 12, and the diameter of the tapered end 32 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting pin 3. Through the setting of the tapered end 32, the operator can conveniently insert the limiting pin 3 into the adjacent screw hole when using the torque wrench 2 for fastening operation.

[0041] To further reduce the injury of the operator when using the torque wrench 2 to perform the fastening operation, please refer to Figure 1 With Figure 2 The two corners of the end of the first connecting part 11 close to the second connecting part 12 are rounded, and the two corners of the end of the second connecting part 12 away from the first connecting part 11 are rounded.

[0042] The implementation principle of the torque wrench according to the embodiment of the present application is as follows: before using the torque wrench 2 to perform the fastening operation on the bolt, the operator can install the counterforce arm device on the head of the torque wrench 2 in advance, and install the positioning pin on the second connecting part 12; when performing the tightening operation on the bolt, the operator can butt the connecting sleeve of the head of the torque wrench 2 against the bolt, and insert the limiting pin 3 into the adjacent bolt holes on the fastener; after the torque wrench 2 completes the operation of tightening the bolt, the counterforce arm device limits the torque wrench 2, so that the damage of the torque wrench 2 to the operator can be avoided. At the same time, since the counterforce arm device has a small size, it can be inserted into a narrow space through the second connecting part 12 when performing the fastening operation, so that the bolt fastening operation in a complex space can be facilitated.

[0043] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application.
