Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screwdriver rods, specifically a screwdriver rod with an automatically adjustable angle. Background Technology

[0002] Screwdrivers, as a common hand tool, are widely used in assembly, repair, and other tasks. Traditional screwdrivers have a relatively simple design, typically consisting of only a screwdriver shaft and a screwdriver head fixed to one end. Users manually rotate the shaft to drive the head to tighten or loosen screws. However, in practical applications, it is often necessary to deal with screws of different sizes and types, as well as working environments with varying angles and spaces. This places higher demands on the functionality and flexibility of screwdrivers. To meet these needs, some screwdriver designs with adjustable head angles have emerged on the market. These designs typically use complex mechanical structures to adjust the angle of the head relative to the shaft, allowing users to use the screwdriver more conveniently in confined spaces or when specific angles are required. However, these designs often suffer from problems such as complex structure, inconvenient operation, high cost, and insufficient reliability. Furthermore, some existing adjustable-angle screwdrivers lack an effective locking mechanism to maintain the head at the desired angle after adjustment, which may lead to accidental rotation of the head during use, affecting work efficiency and accuracy. Therefore, we propose a screwdriver shaft with an automatically adjustable angle. Utility Model Content
