[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0031] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0032] This embodiment discloses a vehicle gap adjustment tool for adjusting multiple fasteners on a vehicle. When adjusting vehicle gaps, it is not necessary to frequently change multiple bits, which reduces assembly time, improves assembly efficiency, and avoids damage to the vehicle paint caused by changing bits.

[0033] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the vehicle clearance adjustment tool includes a fixing device 1 and multiple bits (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the fixing device 1 includes multiple fixing rods (not shown in the figure) and a connecting assembly (not shown in the figure). The connecting assembly is connected to the middle of the multiple fixing rods, which are arranged at an angle. Multiple bits are respectively disposed at the ends of the multiple fixing rods, and each bit corresponds to a fastener (not shown in the figure). The bits are used to drive the movement of their corresponding fasteners. It can be understood that by setting up the fixing device 1, which includes multiple fixing rods and a connecting assembly, and fixing multiple bits to the ends of the fixing rods of the fixing device 1, the operator does not need to frequently change multiple bits when adjusting vehicle clearance for different fasteners. This shortens assembly time, improves assembly efficiency, and avoids damage to the vehicle paint caused by changing bits.

[0034] For example, the bit can be mounted on the end of the fixing rod by a fixing structure. For instance, a hexagonal groove and a hexagonal prism can be used. A hexagonal groove is provided at the end of the fixing rod, and a hexagonal prism is provided at the end of the bit away from the end that contacts the fastener. A magnet is fixed to the bottom of the hexagonal groove. The hexagonal prism is inserted into the hexagonal groove and attracted by the magnet, thereby realizing the connection between the bit and the fixing rod. Alternatively, the bit and the fixing rod can be connected by welding. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific connection method between the bit and the fixing rod.

[0035] Furthermore, a flexible protective layer (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the fixing rod. It can be understood that by providing a flexible protective layer on the outer circumferential surface of the fixing rod, for example, the flexible protective layer can be placed on the outside of the fixing rod, which can prevent the fixing rod from hitting and scratching the paint during use, and also makes it easier for the operator to grip the fixing rod and apply force.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figures 1-2 As shown, the multiple fixing rods include a first fixing rod 11 and a second fixing rod 12, and the number of screwdriver bits is four: a first bit 2, a second bit 3, a third bit 4, and a fourth bit 5. The first bit 2 and the second bit 3 are respectively located at both ends of the first fixing rod 11, and the third bit 4 and the fourth bit 5 are respectively located at both ends of the second fixing rod 12. It can be understood that having one screwdriver bit at each end of a fixing rod is equivalent to having two screwdriver bits per fixing rod, doubling the number of screwdriver bits and reducing the number of fixing rods required.

[0037] For example, the first batch of bits 2 is a T25 bit, and the corresponding fastener is a T25 screw / bolt; the second batch of bits 3 is a Phillips head bit, and the corresponding fastener is a Phillips head screw / bolt; the third batch of bits 4 is an M10 magnetic socket bit, and the corresponding fastener is an M10 screw / bolt; the fourth batch of bits 5 is a T30 bit, and the corresponding fastener is a T30 screw / bolt.

[0038] Optionally, in this embodiment, the included angle between the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12 is 90°, that is, the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12 are set perpendicularly. It is understood that by setting the angle between the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12 to 90°, when one bit is in use, other bits will not interfere with its use due to their smaller distance from that bit, and this also improves the overall balance of the vehicle clearance adjustment tool. Of course, in other embodiments, the multiple fixing rods may also include a third fixing rod, and the number of bits may be six, etc. The number of fixing rods and bits, as well as the angle between the fixing rods, can be determined according to usage requirements.

[0039] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connecting component is a cross-shaped fixing clamp, and the middle portions of the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12 are both welded to the cross-shaped fixing clamp. It can be understood that by welding the middle portions of the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12 to the cross-shaped fixing clamp, the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12 are fixed to the cross-shaped fixing frame, resulting in high stability. Specifically, the cross-shaped fixing clamp is usually made of alloy or other materials and is widely used in various brackets and hardware accessories, providing stable support and fixation. In this embodiment, by setting the connecting component as a cross-shaped fixing clamp, the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12 are initially fixed using the cross-shaped fixing clamp before welding, which helps improve welding quality and further enhances the connection stability of the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the extension directions of the four axes of the cross clamp are offset from the extension directions of the four axes of the two fixing rods. That is, the four axes of the cross clamp and the four axes of the two fixing rods do not coincide in the direction perpendicular to the paper, but have an angle, so as to facilitate the picking up of the entire multi-functional adjustment and measurement gap tool by gripping the cross clamp, making it convenient to use.

[0041] Furthermore, the vehicle clearance adjustment tool also includes a retaining ring (not shown in the figure), which is movably connected to the connecting assembly for hanging the vehicle clearance adjustment tool. It can be understood that by providing a retaining ring movably connected to the connecting assembly for hanging the vehicle clearance adjustment tool, it is convenient to hang the tool in a preset position during use, facilitating easy retrieval and placement.

[0042] It is understandable that the connecting component may not be a cross-shaped fixing clip; for example, such as... Figures 3-4 As shown, the connecting assembly includes a connecting hole 13 and a connector 14 with matching shapes. The connecting hole 13 is located in the middle of the first fixing rod 11, and the connector 14 is located in the middle of the second fixing rod 12. The connecting hole 13 and the connector 14 are interference-fitted to connect the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12. It can be understood that by providing a connecting hole 13 and a connector 14 with matching shapes, when connecting the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12, it is only necessary to achieve an interference fit between the connecting hole 13 and the connector 14 to connect the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12, which is simple and convenient.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the extension direction of the connecting hole 13 is perpendicular to the length direction of the first fixing rod 11, and the connector 14 is disposed on one side of the second fixing rod 12, with the length direction of the connector 14 perpendicular to the length of the second fixing rod 12. The side of the first fixing rod 11 and the side of the second fixing rod 12 abut against each other. It can be understood that the connecting hole 13 is located in the middle of the first fixing rod 11, and its extension direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the first fixing rod 11. The connector 14 is disposed on one side of the second fixing rod 12, with the length direction of the connector 14 perpendicular to the length of the second fixing rod 12. This ensures that the connector 14 can be normally inserted into the connecting hole 13. When connecting the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12, the connector 14 can be inserted into the connecting hole 13 to achieve an interference fit between the connecting hole 13 and the connector 14. The side of the first fixing rod 11 and the side of the second fixing rod 12 abut against each other, resulting in a tight fit. While ensuring the connection between the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12, the space occupied by the fixing device 1 is reduced, making it easier to use and store. Specifically, the connector 14 can be fixed to the side of the second fixing rod 12 by welding or other means, but this embodiment does not make specific limitations here.

[0044] For example, the connecting hole 13 is a frustum-shaped hole, and the connecting member 14 is a frustum-shaped member with a circular cross-section in its axial extension direction. The side of the connecting member 14 abuts against the side of the second fixing member. When connecting the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12, the frustum-shaped member is located inside the frustum-shaped hole. In other embodiments, the connecting hole 13 can be a cylindrical hole, and the connecting member 14 is a cylinder with its axis perpendicular to the length direction of the second fixing rod 12. The end face or side of the cylinder abuts against the side of the second fixing rod 12. When connecting the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12, the cylinder or one end of the cylinder is located inside the cylindrical hole.

[0045] In some other alternative embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the extension direction of the connecting hole 13 is perpendicular to the length direction of the first fixing rod 11, and the connecting piece 14 is sleeved on the second fixing rod 12. It can be understood that when the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12 are connected, the second fixing piece is inserted into the connecting hole 13, and the connecting hole 13 and the connecting piece 14 are interference-fitted, thus completing the connection between the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12. The fixing device 1 occupies less space and reduces the size of the fixing device 1 in the extension direction of the connecting hole 13, which is beneficial for the operator.

[0046] Furthermore, the outer surface of the connector 14 is arc-shaped. It is understood that the specific shape of the connecting hole 13 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the connecting hole 13 can be a cylindrical hole, a rectangular hole, or other shapes of holes. Setting the outer surface of the connector 14 to be arc-shaped is beneficial to the fit between the connector 14 and the connecting hole 13.

[0047] For example, the connecting hole 13 is a frustum-shaped hole, and the connector 14 is also a frustum-shaped component. The frustum-shaped component is sleeved on the second fixing rod 12, with its inner wall connected to the side of the second fixing rod 12, and its outer wall interference-fitted with the wall of the frustum-shaped hole. In other embodiments, the connecting hole 13 can also be a cylindrical hole, and the connector 14 is a hollow cylinder. When connecting the first fixing rod 11 and the second fixing rod 12, the hollow cylinder is sleeved on the second fixing rod 12, with its inner wall connected to the side of the second fixing rod 12, and its outer wall interference-fitted with the wall of the cylindrical hole. The specific shapes of the connecting hole 13 and the connector 14 can be determined according to actual needs.

[0048] Alternatively, the connector 14 is interference-fitted with the second fixing rod 12. It is understood that by interfering with the second fixing rod 12, when the connector 14 is fitted onto the second fixing rod 12, there is no need for additional fixing of the connector 14, making the process simple and quick.

[0049] Furthermore, the bit is made of chromium vanadium alloy steel. It is understandable that chromium vanadium alloy steel has high hardness and wear resistance to prevent the bit from wearing down and slipping off the fastener, thus preventing it from moving.

[0050] Furthermore, both the fixing rod and the connecting components are made of stainless steel. It is understandable that using stainless steel for the fixing rod and connecting components provides strong corrosion resistance, preventing rusting and connection instability even after long-term use, thus enhancing the overall stability of the fixing device 1.

[0051] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
