Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of this utility model belong to the field of EMU maintenance technology, and more specifically, relate to a multi-functional wrench for tightening bolts of VCB solenoid valves in EMUs. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum circuit breakers are suitable for high-speed trains with a 25kV overhead contact line. They are the main switch for disconnecting the high-voltage circuit of the train. When a fault occurs in the train, they can safely, quickly, and effectively cut off the main power supply. They are the main protective device for the train, possessing both control and protection functions. The VCB solenoid valve is a core component of the vacuum circuit breaker. Based on the analysis of our section's advanced maintenance and repair work in recent years, the frequency of VCB solenoid valve failures is not low, mainly due to the following two reasons: ① After a certain number of operations, the VCB solenoid valve's sensitivity decreases, making it unable to operate under the voltage and pressure standards required for the vacuum circuit breaker's operating test. ② The butterfly seal gasket of the VCB solenoid valve is not installed tightly, leading to air leakage during leak detection tests.
[0003] All of the above situations require disassembly and troubleshooting of the VCB solenoid valve. VCB solenoid valves have different types and models of bolts, and currently there are no effective tools for troubleshooting. Disassembly and assembly are too cumbersome, requiring multiple tools to be brought to the site, impacting maintenance efficiency. When a fault occurs, specific manufacturer-specified tools must be used to tighten the VCB solenoid valve bolts, wasting manpower and resources and potentially delaying the maintenance of the high-speed train.
[0004] Therefore, a multi-functional wrench is needed for tightening bolts on VCB solenoid valves of high-speed trains, so that maintenance personnel can handle various types and specifications of bolts on VCB solenoid valves with only one tool, speed up the fault inspection and handling of VCB solenoid valves, ensure the maintenance efficiency of high-speed trains, and provide a guarantee for the safe operation of high-speed trains.

Detailed Implementation
[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0040] like Figure 1-9 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a multi-functional wrench for tightening bolts of VCB solenoid valves in high-speed trains, comprising: a handheld sleeve 1, an intermediate sleeve 2 disposed within the handheld sleeve 1, and an inner tube 3 disposed within the intermediate sleeve 2. The intermediate sleeve 2 slides within the sleeve 1, forming a telescopic structure; the inner tube 3 slides within the intermediate sleeve 2, forming another telescopic structure. The multi-functional wrench of this utility model also includes a socket wrench 4, an internal hex wrench 5, and an open-end wrench 6. The socket wrench 4 and the internal hex wrench 5 are disposed at the end of either the intermediate sleeve 2 or the inner tube 3, and the open-end wrench 6 is disposed at the end of the other intermediate sleeve 2 or the inner tube 3. By extending the intermediate sleeve 2 or inner tube 3, the socket wrench 4, hex wrench 5, or open-end wrench 6 at its end can be used to disassemble and assemble the corresponding bolts.

At the same time, it is easy to store and carry, providing convenience for maintenance personnel, improving the efficiency of EMU maintenance, and ensuring the safety of EMU operation.
[0041] The handheld sleeve 1 is a hollow circular tube with at least one pair of first limiting grooves 11 axially formed on its inner surface. Each first limiting groove 11 penetrates the handheld sleeve 1 at one end, while the other end remains at a distance from the end face. A first rotating groove 13 is provided circumferentially at the penetrating end of the first limiting groove 11. This first rotating groove 13 is deeper than the first limiting groove 11, and the bottoms of the two grooves are connected by a first ramp 12. A second rotating groove 15 is provided circumferentially at the non-penetrating end of the first limiting groove 11. This second rotating groove 15 is deeper than the first limiting groove 11, and the bottoms of the two grooves are connected by a second ramp 14.
[0042] The intermediate sleeve 2 is also a hollow circular tube. One end of its outer surface is provided with a first limiting block 26 corresponding to the first limiting groove 11, and the other end is provided with a first spring block 27 corresponding to the first limiting groove 11. The end of the intermediate sleeve 2 with the first spring block 27 is always located inside the handheld sleeve 1, and the end with the first limiting block 26 serves as a telescopic end. When the intermediate sleeve 2 is retracted into the handheld sleeve 1, the first spring block 27 is positioned at the second rotating groove 15. The first limiting block 26 is fixed to the outer surface of the intermediate sleeve 2, while the first spring block 27 is embedded in the outer surface of the intermediate sleeve 2. Specifically, the surface of the intermediate sleeve 2 with the first spring block 27 is provided with an installation hole, and the first spring block 27 is located in the installation hole. The two are connected by a spring, and a limiting structure is provided at the opening of the installation hole and the first spring block 27. The first spring block 27 telescopically extends and retracts within the installation hole under the action of the spring and external force.
[0043] Understandably, in use, the intermediate sleeve 2 extends from the handheld sleeve 1, the first limiting block 26 passes through the first limiting groove 11 from one end, the first spring block 27 slides to the first rotating groove 13, and under the action of the spring, the first spring block 27 is pushed into the first rotating groove 13. Then the intermediate sleeve 2 is rotated, and it is limited by the first rotating groove 13 and the first spring block 27. Then, the handheld sleeve 1 is held and the wrench at the front end of the intermediate sleeve 2 is used.
[0044] At least one pair of second limiting grooves 21 are axially formed on the inner surface of the intermediate sleeve 2. Each second limiting groove 21 penetrates the intermediate sleeve 2 at one end, while the other end remains at a distance from the end face. A third rotating groove 23 is provided circumferentially at the penetrating end of the second limiting groove 21. This third rotating groove 23 is deeper than the second limiting groove 21, and the bottoms of the two grooves are connected by a third ramp 22. A fourth rotating groove 25 is provided circumferentially at the non-penetrating end of the second limiting groove 21. This fourth rotating groove 25 is deeper than the second limiting groove 21, and the bottoms of the two grooves are connected by a fourth ramp 24.
[0045] The inner tube 3 is a solid cylindrical structure. One end of its outer surface is provided with a second limiting block 31 corresponding to the second limiting groove 21, and the other end is provided with a second spring block 32 corresponding to the second limiting groove 21. The end of the inner tube 3 with the second spring block 32 is always located inside the intermediate sleeve 2, and the end with the second limiting block 31 serves as a telescopic end. When the inner tube 3 retracts into the intermediate sleeve 2, the second spring block 32 is positioned at the fourth rotating groove 25. The second limiting block 31 is fixed to the outer surface of the inner tube 3, while the second spring block 32 is embedded within the outer surface of the inner tube 3. Specifically, the surface of the inner tube 3 with the second spring block 32 has an opening for mounting. The second spring block 32 is placed within this mounting hole, and the two are connected by a spring. A limiting structure is provided at the opening of the mounting hole for the second spring block 32. The second spring block 32 telescopically extends and retracts within the mounting hole under the action of the spring and external force.
[0046] The socket wrench 4 and the Allen wrench 5 are simultaneously fixed to the end face of either the intermediate sleeve 2 or the inner tube 3, and are fixedly connected to each other. The socket wrench 4 has an elastic cavity at its rear end and multiple sleeves at its front end. These sleeves are nested together in multiple layers. The outermost sleeve is fixedly connected to the wall of the elastic cavity, and the inner sleeves are all connected to the elastic cavity via springs. In use, the socket wrench 4 is directly pressed onto the bolt. The bolt presses the inner sleeves into the elastic cavity, and a sleeve of the same specification as the bolt is fitted onto the bolt. The bolt can then be installed or removed, achieving self-adaptive operation of the socket wrench 4.
[0047] The rear end of the hex wrench 5 is also provided with a spring cavity, and its front end is provided with multiple hexagonal sockets. These multiple hexagonal sockets are nested together in multiple layers. The innermost hexagonal socket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring cavity, and the outer hexagonal sockets are all connected to the spring cavity by springs. In use, the hex wrench 5 is directly pressed onto the hexagonal bolt. The hexagonal bolt presses the outer hexagonal sockets into the spring cavity, and the hexagonal socket of the same specification as the bolt is inserted into the hexagonal bolt. Then the hexagonal bolt can be disassembled or assembled, realizing the self-adaptive function of the hex wrench 5.
[0048] As a further preferred embodiment, the open-end wrench 6 is an adjustable open-end wrench.
[0049] Understandably, during maintenance, it is sometimes necessary to determine whether bolts are loose based on torque, and the rated torque must also be used during installation to ensure that the bolts are neither too loose nor too tight. Therefore, a sensor is fixed circumferentially at one end of the first limiting groove 11 of the handheld sleeve 1 and the other end of the second limiting groove 21 of the intermediate sleeve 2. The sensor measures the pressure exerted by the intermediate sleeve 2 on the handheld sleeve 1 or the pressure exerted by the inner tube 3 on the intermediate sleeve 2 when the bolt is tightened, thereby calculating the bolt torque. The sensor is connected to a mobile device such as a mobile phone, and an alarm is triggered when the torque reaches a preset torque value. Alternatively, a display screen can be installed on the surface of the handheld sleeve 1, connected to the sensor via a signal to display the torque value, thus achieving the same function of monitoring torque. The sensor is preferably a pressure sensor.
[0050] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
