Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of track maintenance equipment, specifically relating to a quick wrench for track tie rods. Background Technology
[0002] Case 1: In track maintenance and construction, traditional adjustable wrenches are slow to operate, especially when removing track tie rod nuts, requiring frequent wrench opening adjustments to accommodate different nut sizes. This method is not only time-consuming but also prone to safety hazards due to prolonged construction time. For example, workers operating near the tracks for extended periods may face risks from passing trains or equipment vibrations. Furthermore, when removing nuts with traditional wrenches, uneven force or rust can easily lead to slippage or damage, further impacting construction efficiency and quality.
[0003] Case 2: In track maintenance, traditional methods involve using an open-end wrench to turn nuts. However, due to the rusted condition of the track environment, a single person's strength is insufficient to turn the nuts using a lever wrench. Therefore, two people are required to continuously press down on the lever to turn the nuts, rotating them only half a turn each time, failing to achieve a full turn quickly. This method is inefficient, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and poses safety hazards, including the risk of track derailment. Railway construction demands efficient and rapid track repairs, requiring completion within a specific timeframe to ensure normal train operation.
[0004] While automated equipment exists on the market, most are bulky and unsuitable for construction environments with narrow tracks. Therefore, developing a high-efficiency, portable quick-release wrench that can be used with existing electric wrenches is key to solving these problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following will describe the present invention in conjunction with Embodiment 1 and the appendix. Figures 1-7 The technical solution of this utility model is clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] This utility model provides a track lever quick-release wrench, including a handle 2 and a handle housing 1 nested on the handle 2. The handle 2 and a fixed bracket 3 are nested together to support the wrench. The fixed bracket 3 is connected to the front cover 6 and the rear cover 9 through corresponding mounting holes and threaded bolts 13, thus providing external structural support. A gear set is housed within the housing formed by the front cover 6 and the rear cover 9. The drive gear 8 in the gear set has a hexagonal inner cavity that can accommodate an electric drill. Driven by the electric drill, the drive gear 4 meshes with a first driven gear 5, and then with a second driven gear 7. The first and second driven gears 5 and 7 further mesh with an open linkage gear 8, forming a multi-stage transmission structure. By adjusting the gear diameter ratio, a speed reduction and force amplification function is achieved, significantly increasing the output torque. The front cover 6 and the rear cover 9 are fixed together by fixing bolts 10, forming a single unit.
[0031] How to use it: The quick wrench includes a handle housing 1, a handle 2, a fixed bracket 3, a front cover 6, a rear cover 9, and a gear set (including a driving gear 4, a first driven gear 5, a second driven gear 7, and a third driven gear 8); the components are connected and fixed together by fixing bolts 10 and 13 to form a whole.
[0032] Insert the drive shaft of the electric drill into the square cavity of the drive gear 8 and ensure it is fixed in place. Align the first driven gear 4 of the quick-release wrench with the target track rod nut, start the electric drill, and the power of the electric drill will be transmitted to the gear set through the drive gear 8. The nut will be quickly rotated and loosened through multi-stage gear transmission. After loosening, stop the drill, remove the quick-release wrench, and complete the removal of the nut.
[0033] The working principle is as follows: the drive shaft of the electric drill is inserted into the drill hole of the drive gear 4, and the electric drill provides rotational power. The drive gear 4 transmits power to the gear set by meshing with the first driven gear 5 and the second driven gear 6. The first driven gear 5 and the second driven gear 6 then mesh with the open linkage gear 8 for transmission. The open linkage gear 8 is directly connected to the track tie rod nut. Through multi-stage gear transmission, the quick-release wrench can achieve high output torque with low input power, thereby quickly rotating and loosening the nut to achieve the purpose of disassembly.
[0034] This utility model provides a track lever quick wrench, which, through its unique structure and by utilizing the high speed of an electric drill combined with the deceleration and force-increasing function of the gear set, can quickly disassemble nuts with high tightening force. Furthermore, the design of the handle housing 1 and the handle 2 is ergonomic, making it convenient for workers to operate for extended periods. The overall weight of the device is moderate, making it easy to carry. Moreover, the gear set is made of high-strength material and is protected by the front cover 6 and the rear cover 9, giving it high durability and impact resistance.
