Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a ratchet wrench with controllable extension and retraction on both sides, used for adjusting the spacing of welded U-shaped parts after bending the cab, and belongs to the field of mechanical technology. Background Technology

[0002] The machining of the U-shaped components of the rear longitudinal beams of the MAX cab is a critical process. Traditional methods for adjusting the spacing of these U-shaped components rely heavily on operator experience and feel, typically using hammers, tapping, or pry bars. Hammers require selecting appropriate weights based on the material, size, and adjustment range of the U-shaped components. Tapping the edges or surface alters the spacing, and metal rods can be used for precise control of force and position. Pry bars are inserted into the gaps to utilize leverage. This lack of a precise adjustment mechanism often results in U-shaped component spacing exceeding the ideal tolerance range, severely impacting the quality of subsequent welding processes. Adjusting the spacing requires repeated trial and error, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconsistent. This traditional method is insufficient for large-scale, high-precision production, necessitating a specialized tool for precise, efficient, and convenient adjustment of the U-shaped component spacing in the MAX cab rear longitudinal beams to improve product quality and reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a ratchet wrench with controllable extension and retraction on both sides, which addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology, improves operating efficiency, and ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the extension and retraction process.

[0004] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a controllable double-sided telescopic ratchet wrench, including a ratchet wrench body and a bidirectional telescopic structure. The ratchet wrench body includes a telescopic conversion limit lever, a handle, a connecting block, and a connecting shaft. The two ends of the connecting shaft are respectively provided with a left-hand internal thread and a right-hand internal thread. The bidirectional telescopic structure includes a right-hand drive bolt, a left-hand drive bolt, a washer, a limit block, a positioning pin, a washer, and an internal hex bolt. The right-hand drive bolt and the left-hand drive bolt are respectively connected to the two ends of the ratchet wrench body head through right-hand internal threads and left-hand internal threads. The washer, positioning pin, washer, and internal hex bolt are combined with the right-hand drive bolt and the left-hand drive bolt to form two positioning slots. Adjusting the telescopic conversion limit lever and rotating the handle causes the left-hand drive bolt and the right-hand drive bolt to screw in or out, thereby controlling the distance between the two slots and realizing the reduction or expansion of the distance between the U-shaped parts.

[0005] The handle end is connected to the connecting block via a pin, and the handle is connected to the connecting shaft via the connecting block. A ratchet limiting mechanism is provided between the connecting block and the connecting shaft. The telescopic conversion limiting lever is installed on the side of the connecting block via a pin, and the ratchet wrench body is in contact with the internal ratchet limiting mechanism.

[0006] The ratchet limiting mechanism includes a ratchet, which is interference-fitted and fixed in the middle of the connecting shaft. The connecting block has a cavity, and the ratchet, telescopic conversion limiting lever, and spring pin are disposed in the cavity. The telescopic conversion limiting lever is connected to the connecting block by a pin. When the telescopic conversion limiting lever is pushed upward, the spring pin will press against the groove below the telescopic conversion limiting lever, so that the lower part of the telescopic conversion limiting lever contacts the connecting block. When the handle is turned downward, the ratchet rotates clockwise, and the screwing in of the left-hand and right-hand internal threads in the head of the ratchet wrench body will cause the groove spacing to widen. When the telescopic conversion limiting lever is pushed downward, the handle rotates upward, and the spring pin presses against the groove above the telescopic conversion limiting lever, so that the upper part of the telescopic conversion limiting lever contacts the connecting block. When the handle is turned upward, the ratchet rotates counterclockwise, and the unscrewing of the left-hand and right-hand internal threads in the head of the ratchet wrench body will cause the groove spacing to narrow.

[0007] One end of the right-hand drive bolt is provided with a thread structure that matches the right-hand internal thread, and the other end is provided with a fixing block. The fixing block and the limiting block form a groove.

[0008] The left-hand drive bolt and the right-hand drive bolt have the same structure and are symmetrical.

[0009] The limiting block and the fixing block are provided with through holes, and are fixed together to form a slot by positioning pins.

[0010] The limiting block and the fixing block have clamping surfaces on their opposing working surfaces to increase the friction of the slot.

[0011] A gasket is provided between the limiting block and the fixing block.

[0012] The gasket has three through holes. After being positioned by the positioning pin, the U-shaped piece is fixed in the slots at both ends.

[0013] The number of shims can be increased or decreased according to the thickness of the U-shaped part to increase the spacing of the slots so that the U-shaped part can be placed exactly in the slots.

[0014] Beneficial effects: This utility model eliminates the need for operators to manually adjust the spacing of the U-shaped parts of the rear longitudinal beam of the cab. The number of shims can be increased or decreased arbitrarily according to the thickness of the U-shaped parts, so that the U-shaped parts fit perfectly into the slots, improving applicability. The bidirectional telescopic device ensures the smoothness and precision of the telescopic process, guaranteeing the accurate adjustment of the spacing of the U-shaped parts of the rear longitudinal beam of the MAX cab, improving operational efficiency and saving time and effort. When the spacing is within the qualified range, it facilitates subsequent rapid welding. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1-13 As shown, this utility model provides a controllable double-sided telescopic ratchet wrench, including a ratchet wrench body 1 and a bidirectional telescopic structure. The ratchet wrench body 1 includes a telescopic conversion limit lever 11, a handle 12, a connecting block 13, and a connecting shaft 14. The two ends of the connecting shaft 14 are respectively provided with a left-hand internal thread 16 and a right-hand internal thread 15. The bidirectional telescopic structure includes a right-hand drive bolt 2, a left-hand drive bolt 3, a washer 4, a limit stop 5, a positioning pin 6, a washer 7, and an internal hex bolt 8. The moving bolt 2 and the left-hand drive bolt 3 are connected to both ends of the ratchet wrench body 1 via the right-hand internal thread 15 and the left-hand internal thread 16, respectively. The gasket 4, the positioning pin 6, the washer 7, and the internal hex bolt 8 are combined with the right-hand drive bolt 2 and the left-hand drive bolt 3 to form two positioning slots 9. Adjusting the telescopic conversion limit lever 11 and rotating the handle 12 will cause the left-hand drive bolt 3 and the right-hand drive bolt 2 to screw in or out, thereby controlling the distance between the two slots 9 and realizing the reduction or expansion of the distance between the U-shaped parts.

[0031] The end of the handle 12 is connected to the connecting block 13 via a pin 18. The handle 12 is connected to the connecting shaft 14 via the connecting block 13. A ratchet limiting mechanism is provided between the connecting block 13 and the connecting shaft 14. The telescopic conversion limiting lever 11 is installed on the side of the connecting block 13 via a pin 18. The ratchet wrench body 1 is in contact with the ratchet limiting mechanism inside.

[0032] The ratchet limiting mechanism includes a ratchet 17, which is interference-fitted and fixed at the middle position of the connecting shaft 14. The connecting block 13 has a cavity, and the ratchet 17, telescopic conversion limiting lever 11, and spring pin 19 are disposed within the cavity. The telescopic conversion limiting lever 11 is connected to the connecting block 13 via a pin 18. When the telescopic conversion limiting lever 11 is pushed upwards, the spring pin 19 abuts against the groove below the telescopic conversion limiting lever 11, causing the lower part of the telescopic conversion limiting lever 11 to contact the connecting block 13. Turning the handle downwards activates the ratchet... 17. Rotating clockwise causes the left-hand internal thread 16 and the right-hand internal thread 15 inside the head of the ratchet wrench body 1 to screw in, which in turn widens the distance between the two slots 9. 12. Pushing the telescopic conversion limit lever 11 downwards causes the handle 12 to rotate upwards, and the spring pin 19 presses against the groove above the telescopic conversion limit lever 11, making the upper part of the telescopic conversion limit lever 11 contact the connecting block 13. 13. Rotating the handle upwards causes the ratchet 17 to rotate counterclockwise, and the unscrewing of the left-hand internal thread 16 and the right-hand internal thread 15 inside the head of the ratchet wrench body 1 causes the distance between the two slots 9 to narrow.

[0033] One end of the right-hand drive bolt 2 is provided with a thread structure 21 that matches the right-hand internal thread 15, and the other end is provided with a fixing block 22. The fixing block 22 and the limiting block 5 form a groove 9.

[0034] The left-hand drive bolt 3 and the right-hand drive bolt 2 have the same structure and are symmetrical.

[0035] The limiting block 5 and the fixing block 22 are provided with through holes, and are fixed to form a slot 9 by positioning pin 6.

[0036] The limiting block 5 and the fixing block 22 have clamping surfaces on their opposite working surfaces to increase the friction of the slot 9, which has a good anti-slip effect and makes it easy to fix the U-shaped part in the slot 9 after tightening.

[0037] A gasket 4 is provided between the limiting block 5 and the fixing block 22. The gasket 4 and the limiting block 5 are fixed by an internal hex bolt 8, and the washer 7 is used to prevent it from falling off.

[0038] The gasket 4 has three through holes. After being positioned by the positioning pin 6, the U-shaped piece is fixed in the slots 9 at both ends.

[0039] The number of gaskets 4 can be increased or decreased according to the thickness of the U-shaped part to increase the spacing of the slots 9 so that the U-shaped part can be placed into the slots 9.

[0040] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0041] Adjust the number of shims 4 according to the thickness of the U-shaped part, fix the limit block 5 after positioning with the positioning pin 6, and then place the U-shaped part in the end slots 9 for fixation. In use, the ratchet 17 engages with the telescopic conversion limit lever 11. To increase the spacing, the telescopic conversion limit lever 11 is pushed upwards, and the spring pin 19 presses against the groove below the telescopic conversion limit lever 11, causing the lower part of the telescopic conversion limit lever 11 to contact the connecting block 13. Turning the handle downwards causes the ratchet 17 to rotate clockwise, and the left-hand internal thread 16 and right-hand internal thread 15 inside the head of the ratchet wrench body 1 screw in, widening the spacing between the two slots 9. To narrow the spacing, the telescopic conversion limit lever 11 is pushed downwards, and the handle 12 can rotate upwards. The spring pin 19 presses against the groove above the telescopic conversion limit lever 11, causing the upper part of the telescopic conversion limit lever 11 to contact the connecting block 13. Turning the handle upwards causes the ratchet 17 to rotate counterclockwise, and the left-hand internal thread 16 and right-hand internal thread 15 inside the head of the ratchet wrench body 1 screw out, narrowing the spacing between the two slots 9. Once the U-shaped part spacing is adjusted to the acceptable range, subsequent welding work can be carried out.

[0042] This invention ensures precise adjustment of the spacing of the U-shaped parts of the rear longitudinal beam of the MAX cab, eliminating the need for operators to manually adjust them, thus improving operational efficiency and saving time and effort. When the spacing is within the acceptable range, it facilitates rapid subsequent welding. The number of shims can be increased or decreased arbitrarily according to the thickness of the U-shaped parts, so that they fit perfectly into the slot 9, increasing the applicability of the device.

[0043] The above-described embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative examples and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this utility model or equivalent to this utility model are encompassed by this utility model.
