[0002] In the traditional field of hand tools, ratchet wrenches are a common tool widely used in mechanical repair, equipment installation, and tightening and loosening various bolts and nuts. However, most existing ratchet wrenches can only perform a one-way ratchet function, meaning they can only lock and drive in one direction, while sliding freely in the other. This one-way ratchet design has limitations in certain applications. For example, in operations requiring frequent switching of rotation direction, users need to frequently adjust the tool settings, thus reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a reversible ratchet handle and a multi-functional tool to solve the problem that in the prior art, ratchet handles can only be locked and driven in one direction.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a reversible ratchet handle for turning nuts, comprising a plier handle housing, a reset assembly, a reversing pawl, and a fixing assembly. One end of the plier handle housing has a mounting cavity, the reset assembly is embedded in the mounting cavity, and the end of the plier handle housing with the mounting cavity extends to form two mounting seats, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the end of the plier handle housing. The fixing assembly is rotatably disposed between the two mounting seats, and the reversing pawl is rotatably disposed between the reset assembly and the fixing assembly.
[0005] The fixing component includes a sleeve that passes through the mounting base and a toothed ratchet that is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve. The sleeve is keyed to the toothed ratchet, and one end of the sleeve has a first groove that conforms to the outer contour of the nut.

[0025] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a reversible ratchet handle for turning nuts, including a plier handle housing 1, a reset assembly, a reversing pawl 10, and a fixing assembly. One end of the plier handle housing 1 forms a mounting cavity 101, and the reset assembly is embedded in the mounting cavity 101. The end of the plier handle housing 1 with the mounting cavity 101 extends to form two mounting seats 5, and the two mounting seats 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the end of the plier handle housing 1. The fixing assembly is rotatably disposed between the two mounting seats 5, and the reversing pawl 10 is rotatably disposed between the reset assembly and the fixing assembly.
[0027] The fixing component includes a sleeve 6 that passes through the mounting base 5 and a toothed ratchet 9 that is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve 6. The sleeve 6 and the toothed ratchet 9 are keyed together (in a specific embodiment, the sleeve 6 is provided with a flower-shaped key, and the toothed ratchet 9 is provided with a second groove that matches the shape of the key). One end of the sleeve 6 forms a first groove 7 that adapts to the outer contour of the nut.
[0028] The reversing pawl 10 has a first working ramp 1002 and a second working ramp 1005 formed on the side near the reset assembly. A blocking protrusion 1007 is formed between the first working ramp 1002 and the second working ramp 1005. The reversing pawl 10 has a first engagement portion 1001 and a second engagement portion 1003 for engaging with the toothed ratchet 9 at intervals on the side near the toothed ratchet 9. A lever 1004 is also formed on the reversing pawl 10. The lever 1004 passes through the limiting groove 102 opened on the plier handle housing 1 and extends out of the outer surface of the plier handle housing 1.
[0029] The reset assembly includes a mounting member 2 adapted to the shape of the mounting cavity 101 and a limiting block 4 elastically connected to the mounting member 2 (in a specific embodiment, a placement groove 201 is formed at the end of the mounting member 2 away from the cleaver housing 1, a spring 3 is provided in the placement groove 201, and a limiting block 4 is provided at the end of the spring 3 away from the placement groove 201), and the limiting block 4 is connected to the side of the mounting member 2 near the reversing pawl 10;
[0030] When the lever 1004 abuts against the end of the limiting groove 102 away from the fixing component, the limiting block 4 abuts against the second working ramp 1005, and the first engaging part 1001 engages with the toothed ratchet 9. When the lever 1004 abuts against the end of the limiting groove 102 near the fixing component, the limiting block 4 abuts against the first working ramp 1002, and the second engaging part 1003 engages with the toothed ratchet 9.
[0031] In use, in one working state of the present invention, when the lever 1004 is moved to the end of the limiting groove 102 away from the fixing component, as... Figure 1 As shown, the limiting block 4 abuts against the second working ramp 1005, the first meshing part 1001 meshes with the toothed ratchet 9, and the lever 1004 is restricted to move to the right by the limiting groove 102. The reversing pawl 10 cannot rotate counterclockwise, so the toothed ratchet 9 cannot rotate clockwise. At this time, the nut is inserted into the sleeve 6, and the relative position of the nut and the sleeve 6 is fixed by the snap ring 8. The wrench can be operated to rotate clockwise around the nut to tighten the nut. When the wrench is operated to rotate the nut counterclockwise, since the limiting block 4 is located on the first working ramp 1002, and since the lever 1004 is not restricted to move to the left, the toothed ratchet 9 will rotate counterclockwise, causing the reversing pawl 10 to rotate clockwise. Through the elasticity of the spring 3, the lever 1004 will reset and stop, causing the reversing pawl 10 to rotate clockwise, so that the lever 1004 returns to the starting position. Figure 1 Position; In another operating state of the present invention, when the lever 1004 is moved to the end of the limiting groove 102 near the fixing component, as Figure 2 As shown, the limiting block 4 abuts against the first working ramp 1002, and the second meshing part 1003 engages with the toothed ratchet 9. The lever 1004 is restricted from moving to the left by the limiting groove 102, and the reversing pawl 10 cannot rotate clockwise, preventing the toothed ratchet 9 from rotating counterclockwise. At this time, the nut is inserted into the sleeve 6, and the relative positions of the nut and sleeve 6 are fixed by the retaining spring 8. The wrench can be operated to rotate clockwise around the nut to tighten it. When the wrench is operated to rotate the nut clockwise, since the limiting block 4 is located on the second working ramp 1005, and since the lever 1004 is not restricted from moving to the right, the toothed ratchet 9 will rotate clockwise, causing the reversing pawl 10 to rotate counterclockwise. Through the elasticity of the spring 3, the lever 1004 will reset and stop, causing the reversing pawl 10 to rotate counterclockwise, and the lever 1004 will return to its original position. Figure 1 Location.
[0032] In order to reinforce the positional fixation between the sleeve 6 and the nut, in one embodiment of the present invention, a retaining spring 8 is provided inside the sleeve 6 to fix the relative position of the sleeve 6 and the nut; in another embodiment of the present invention, an installation groove is provided on the sleeve 6, and a retaining spring 8 is sleeved on the sleeve 6 to fix the relative position of the sleeve 6 and the nut, and the two sides of the retaining spring 8 are embedded in the installation groove and extend into the inside of the sleeve 6.
[0033] In order to avoid the reversing pawl 10 from being hit during the rotation of the toothed ratchet 9, thereby affecting the rotation of the toothed ratchet 9, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a groove 1006 is formed on one side of the reversing pawl 10, which is disposed between the first engagement portion 1001 and the second engagement portion 1003.
[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides a multi-functional tool, including the aforementioned reversible ratchet handle, and at least one extension is rotatably provided at the end of the pliers handle housing 1 away from the mounting base 5, the extension including hardware tools such as cutting blades and needle-nose pliers clamps.
[0035] In summary, this reversible ratchet handle and multi-functional tool allows the ratchet handle to switch its working state through the reversible pawl 10 and the pliers handle housing 1, enabling the ratchet handle to perform unidirectional ratchet functions in two different working states, that is, to achieve locking and driving in two directions.
[0036] The embodiments described above merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
