Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wrench technology, and in particular to an adaptive wrench. Background Technology
[0002] A wrench is a tool used to install nuts or bolts, widely used in production and daily life. Existing wrenches consist of a wrench body with a stationary die, a moving die, and a lead screw. Rotating the lead screw moves the moving die back and forth. When using a wrench, the operator adjusts the position of the moving die by rotating the lead screw to adjust the wrench size, depending on the nut or bolt size. This method of adjusting the wrench size is cumbersome, requiring manual adjustment by the operator, which is inconvenient and reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to solve the technical problem that adjusting the size of the wrench is time-consuming and laborious and has low production efficiency in the prior art, this utility model provides an adaptive wrench that can adapt to nuts or bolts of different sizes, and is convenient and quick to use.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an adaptive wrench, which includes: a wrench body, and a fixed tooth and a movable tooth installed on the wrench body, wherein the movable tooth can move closer to or further away from the fixed tooth to adjust the working distance of the wrench mouth;
[0005] The wrench body is provided with an adaptive component and a locking component. The adaptive component includes an elastic element, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the fixed tooth and the movable tooth. The locking component includes a movable rack, a guide rack, and a stop fixing block. The movable rack is installed on the movable tooth. The guide rack is movably disposed within the wrench body and is located below the movable rack. A handle is provided on the guide rack. The stop fixing block is disposed on the wrench body and the handle is inserted into the stop fixing block.
[0006] When the handle is inserted into the first position of the gear fixing block, the moving rack engages with the guide rack, and the movable tooth is locked. When the handle is inserted into the second position of the gear fixing block, the moving rack separates from the guide rack, and the movable tooth is free.
[0007] The specific technical effect is as follows: by setting a handle, a stop block, and a guide rack that can move up and down, the up and down position of the guide rack can be adjusted, thereby making the movable tooth in a locked or free state. The entire operation process only requires switching the handle between different positions of the stop block to realize the conversion between the free and locked states of the movable tooth. In addition, with the adaptive component, the working distance of the plate opening can adapt to the width of the nut or bolt, making the operation convenient and quick.
[0008] Furthermore, the guide rack extends in the left-right direction, and its length is greater than that of the movable rack. Therefore, when the movable tooth drives the movable rack to move to any position along the guide rack, the guide rack provides sufficient engagement length to ensure successful engagement between the movable rack and the guide rack, thus ensuring that the movable tooth can reliably enter the locked state.
[0009] Furthermore, the stop fixing block is provided with a fixing groove, a reset groove, and a moving groove. The fixing groove is located above the reset groove, and the moving groove is disposed on one side of the fixing groove and the reset groove. The two ends of the moving groove are respectively connected to the fixing groove and the reset groove. The handle can be inserted into any one of the fixing groove, the reset groove, or the moving groove. When the handle is inserted into the fixing groove, the moving rack meshes with the guide rack, and the movable tooth is in a locked state. When the handle is inserted into the reset groove or the moving groove, the moving rack separates from the guide rack, and the movable tooth is in a free state.
[0010] Furthermore, the wrench body is provided with a first mounting block and a second mounting block, which are located at both ends of the guide rack, respectively. A compression spring is installed in both the first mounting block and the second mounting block. Both ends of the guide rack are provided with protruding posts, and each compression spring is sleeved on a protruding post.
[0011] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion is provided on the upper edge of the first mounting block, and the limiting protrusion is located above the guide rack. Thus, by the limiting protrusion engaging with the guide rack above, the guide rack can be limited in position.
[0012] Furthermore, a mounting post is installed on the guide rack, and the handle includes a sleeve portion and a handle portion connected to each other. The sleeve portion is rotatably fitted onto the mounting post, and the handle portion is inserted into the stop fixing block.
[0013] Furthermore, the adaptive component also includes a connecting rod, a sleeve, and an end block. The connecting rod is connected to the movable tooth and fitted onto the sleeve. The end block is threadedly connected to the sleeve and connected to the fixed tooth. The elastic element is disposed inside the sleeve, and both ends of the elastic element are connected to the connecting rod and the end block, respectively.
[0014] Furthermore, the upper end of the wrench body is provided with an open guide groove, and the lower end of the movable tooth is slidably installed in the open guide groove.
[0015] Furthermore, the lower end of the movable tooth is provided with a guide block and a connecting block that are connected to each other. The guide block is slidably installed in the open guide groove. One end of the elastic element is connected to the connecting block, and the movable rack is installed at the lower end of the connecting block.
[0016] Furthermore, the wrench body includes a main body and a cover plate. The cover plate is mounted on the main body by screws. A mounting cavity for mounting a fixed tooth, a movable tooth, an adaptive component, and a locking component is formed between the main body and the cover plate. The stop fixing block is disposed on the cover plate. The handle passes through the cover plate and is inserted into the stop fixing block.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] (1) By setting a handle, a stop fixing block and a guide rack that can move up and down, when the movable tooth is in a free state, the wrench mouth is aligned with the outer hexagonal surface of the nut or bolt and a forward pushing force is applied. The movable tooth can be opened by the nut or bolt, so that the working distance of the wrench mouth can adapt to the width of the nut or bolt. This design avoids the tedious operation of manually adjusting the working distance of the wrench mouth multiple times to adapt to different specifications of nuts or bolts, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of adjusting the size of the working distance of the wrench mouth, and saves operation time and energy.
[0019] (2) After the movable tooth is adaptively adjusted to a suitable position, the present invention moves the handle from the second position of the stop block to the first position, so that the movable rack meshes with the guide rack, thereby locking the movable tooth. This locking mechanism ensures that the movable tooth will not move randomly during the loosening or tightening of the nut or bolt, ensuring a stable connection between the wrench and the nut or bolt, improving the reliability and safety of operation, and effectively preventing slippage, damage to the nut or bolt caused by the movement of the movable tooth.
