However, with the continuous development of industrial technology and increasingly stringent safety standards, the limitations of traditional torque wrenches in specific application scenarios are becoming increasingly apparent, especially when used in flammable and explosive environments, where their safety and reliability face severe challenges. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art and provide a torque wrench with a clever and reasonable structural design and strong practicality. The ratchet head, lever, connecting rod, compression spring and other components are all made of beryllium bronze. Beryllium bronze has non-ferromagnetic and low spark generation characteristics, as well as good thermal stability and high strength, which makes the torque wrench less likely to generate sparks during use, with good explosion-proof performance, improving the safety of the torque wrench in flammable and explosive environments, while also ensuring the wrench's high precision, high stability and long service life.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A torque wrench includes a housing, a ratchet head, an adjusting part, and a handle sleeve. The ratchet head is connected to a lever, and the ratchet head is a beryllium bronze head. The lever is a beryllium bronze lever and is inserted into the housing. The lever is fixed in the housing by a lever pin. The adjusting part includes a connecting rod, a sliding assembly, a compression spring, and a screw assembly. The connecting rod is a beryllium bronze connecting rod, and the compression spring is a beryllium bronze spring. The connecting rod is connected to the lever, and the compression spring is located between the sliding assembly and the screw assembly.
[0006] Furthermore, the housing is made of aluminum bronze, and the handle sleeve is also made of aluminum bronze. The design is reasonable. Aluminum bronze has high strength and hardness, which improves the overall durability of the torque wrench. Aluminum bronze also has excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can extend the service life of the housing and handle sleeve.
[0007] Furthermore, the sliding assembly is made of beryllium bronze, and the screw assembly is made of beryllium bronze. All components of the sliding assembly and screw assembly are made of beryllium bronze, which improves the explosion-proof performance of the torque wrench and thus significantly improves the operational safety of the torque wrench.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting rod is located inside the housing, with one end inserted into the lever. The connecting rod is fixed inside the lever by a connecting rod pin, which connects the connecting rod to the housing, ensuring connection stability and reliability. It is also easy to install and disassemble, facilitating practical operation.
[0009] Furthermore, the sliding assembly is located inside the housing and includes a connecting rod sleeve, a square hole insert, a block, and a sliding column. The side walls of the connecting rod sleeve and the sliding column are in contact with the inner side wall of the housing. The connecting rod sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the connecting rod and is fixed to the connecting rod by a connecting rod pin. The square hole insert is inserted into the end of the connecting rod away from the lever and connects to the block. The block connects to the sliding column, which is in contact with a compression spring. The dual design of the connecting rod sleeve and the sliding column provides precise guidance for the sliding assembly, reduces deviation during sliding, and improves the accuracy of the torque wrench. The connecting rod sleeve and the connecting rod are connected by a connecting rod pin, ensuring connection stability and reliability, and making installation and disassembly convenient and simple.
[0010] Furthermore, the screw assembly includes an adjusting screw and an adjusting nut. The adjusting screw is located inside the handle sleeve, with one end inserted into the housing. The adjusting nut is located inside the housing and is fixed inside the housing by an adjusting nut pin. The adjusting screw thread passes through the adjusting nut. Rotating the adjusting screw can achieve precise linear displacement, changing the length of the adjusting screw inserted into the housing, thereby changing the preload of the compression spring to meet different operational requirements.
[0011] Furthermore, the screw assembly also includes a flat spring washer, which is located at the end of the adjusting screw near the compression spring. The flat spring washer contacts the compression spring, and a steel ball is provided between the flat spring washer and the adjusting screw. Both the flat spring washer and the adjusting screw are provided with limiting holes, and the steel ball is rolled and limited within the limiting holes. The design of the steel ball can prevent the compression spring from rotating when the adjusting screw rotates.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjusting screw is equipped with a nut and a lock nut. The adjusting screw is fixed to the handle sleeve by the nut and lock nut. By rotating the handle sleeve, the handle sleeve drives the adjusting screw to rotate, which compresses and releases the pressure spring. Adjusting the spring pressure adjusts the torque. The nut and lock nut form a double fixation, ensuring the connection between the adjusting screw and the handle sleeve is firm and avoiding the risk of the adjusting screw falling off during rotation, thus ensuring the safety of the torque wrench.
[0013] Furthermore, the handle sleeve is installed on the end of the housing away from the ratchet head. The outer side of the handle sleeve is provided with anti-slip patterns. The handle sleeve is connected to the housing through a positioning sleeve. A positioning sleeve steel post and a return spring are provided between the positioning sleeve and the handle sleeve. A plugging back cover is inserted and installed at the end of the handle sleeve away from the housing. A plum blossom hole insert is provided inside the plugging back cover. The plum blossom hole insert abuts against the adjusting screw.
[0014] This utility model, by adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This utility model features a clever and reasonable structural design with strong practicality. Except for the shell and handle sleeve, which are made of aluminum bronze, other core components such as the ratchet head, lever, connecting rod, and compression spring are made of beryllium bronze. Beryllium bronze has non-ferromagnetic and low spark generation characteristics, as well as good thermal stability and high strength. This makes the torque wrench less prone to sparking during use, provides good explosion-proof performance, and improves the safety of the torque wrench in flammable and explosive environments. At the same time, it can also ensure the wrench's high precision, high stability, and long service life, significantly improving the wrench's performance. Attached Figure Description
