[0019] For example, see below. Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a round-head ratchet wrench includes a handle body 10. A central mounting through hole is formed in the middle of the head of the handle body 10. An internal toothed ring is formed on the inner side wall of the central mounting through hole. A ratchet head 20 is inserted into the central mounting through hole. The top of the ratchet head 20 extends out of the top of the central mounting through hole. A radially extending edge 21 is formed on its outer side wall. The bottom surface of the radially extending edge 21 presses against the top surface of the head of the handle body 10. The bottom of the ratchet head 20 extends out of the bottom end of the central mounting through hole. A downwardly extending square connector 22 is formed in the middle of the bottom surface of the ratchet head 20. A retaining annular groove is formed on the outer side wall of the bottom of the ratchet head 20. A retaining spring 3 is retained in the retaining annular groove. The top surface of the retaining spring 3 presses against the bottom surface of the head of the handle body 10.

[0020] The front wall of the quad connector 22 has a side insertion hole formed in the middle. A spring 221 and a positioning ball 222 are inserted into the side through hole. One end of the spring 221 applies pressure to the inner end face of the side through hole, and the other end applies pressure to the inner end of the positioning ball 222. An annular limiting protrusion is formed on the inner side wall of the front end of the side insertion hole. The positioning ball 222 presses against the annular limiting protrusion, and the middle part of the front wall of the positioning ball 222 extends outward from the outer end of the side through hole. This structure is used to install components such as sleeves and is a conventional structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0021] The rear end face of the handle 10 has a rear insertion hole formed in the middle.

[0022] Furthermore, the ratchet head 20 has an adjustment groove 23 extending to the left and right sides of its front side wall, and the adjustment stop 30 is inserted into the adjustment groove 23 and is located in the central mounting hole. The outer side wall of the adjustment stop 30 is an arc-shaped wall with an external toothed part that mates with the internal toothed part. The top surface of the ratchet head 20 has an upper moving groove 24 that extends left and right through the center. The bottom surface of the upper moving groove 24 has a downwardly extending recessed hole 25, and the bottom end face of the recessed hole 25 has a downwardly extending central recessed hole 26. A steering gear 40 is mounted on the ratchet head 20.

[0023] The steering gear 40 includes a push plate portion 41, a central moving block portion 42 is formed in the middle of the bottom surface of the push plate portion 41, a connecting portion 43 is formed in the middle of the bottom surface of the central moving block portion 42, and the bottom end surface of the connecting portion 43 is spherical.

[0024] The push plate part 41 is inserted into the upper moving through groove 24 and cooperates with the upper moving through groove 24. The middle moving block part 42 is inserted into the lower recessed hole 25. The connecting part 43 is connected to the adjusting stop block 30. The return spring 1 and the steel ball 2 are inserted into the central recessed hole 26. The bottom end of the return spring 1 is applied to the bottom end surface of the central recessed hole 26, and the top end of the return spring 1 is applied to the bottom end of the steel ball 2. The top end of the steel ball 2 is pressed against the bottom end surface of the connecting part 43.

[0025] Furthermore, the front sidewall of the adjusting block 30 has two rearwardly extending stepped through holes 31 formed in the middle. The front part of the two stepped through holes 31 is a large-diameter hole segment and the rear part is a small-diameter hole segment. A through slot is formed between the two stepped through holes 31. The rear part of the adjusting slot 23 communicates with the recessed hole 25. Two stepped coiled spring parts 4 are inserted into the corresponding stepped through holes 31 and cooperate with the stepped through holes 31. The rear ends of the two spring parts 4 are connected by a horizontally bent bending strip 5, which is inserted into the recessed hole 25.

[0026] The connecting part 43 is a vertical rod part with a spherical bottom surface and an annular groove formed on its upper outer side wall. The rear part of the bent strip 5 is inserted into the annular groove. The rear end face of the front large diameter section of the spring part 4 presses against the rear end face of the corresponding large diameter hole section of the stepped through hole 31. The front wall surface of the rear part of the bent strip 5 presses against the rear inner side wall of the annular groove of the connecting part 43.

[0027] The front and rear sidewalls of the central movable block 42 are arc-shaped, which cooperate with the inner sidewalls of the front and rear parts of the recessed hole 25.

[0028] The left and right side walls of the recessed hole 25 are formed with outwardly extending through holes. The pin 6 is engaged in the two through holes and inserted into the recessed hole 25, and is also inserted into the left and right extending central through hole formed in the middle of the central moving block part 42.

[0029] The front and rear sides of the push plate 41 are close to or in close contact with the front and rear inner walls of the moving through groove 24.

[0030] In this embodiment, since the steering gear 40 is installed at the ratchet head 20, there is no need to install steering gear or other components at its rear. At this time, the head of the handle 10 can be made into a round head that matches the ratchet head 20. In this way, when in use, it is only necessary to extend the head of the handle 10 into the operating position to ensure normal rotation and operation without touching surrounding objects. By pushing the push plate part 41 of the steering gear 40 left and right, the connecting part 43 moves left and right, which drives the bending strip 5 to move. Through the spring part 4, the adjusting block 30 moves left and right, so that the left or right side of the front side wall of the adjusting block 30 rests against the corresponding position of the internal gear ring part formed on the inner side wall of the central mounting through hole, thereby changing the rotation direction of the ratchet head 20 to meet the usage requirements.

[0031] When the connecting part 43 moves left and right, the top of the corresponding return spring 1 will lift the steel ball 2 to one side of the connecting part 43 and press it against the bottom side of the middle moving block part 42 to prevent the steering gear 40 from returning to its original position.

[0032] Finally, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the present utility model, and the patent protection scope of the present utility model should be defined by the claims.
