Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive repair tool technology, specifically a tool for removing the lower cover of a spark plug. Background Technology
[0002] Spark plugs are crucial components of a gasoline engine's ignition system. They introduce high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber, causing it to jump across the electrode gap and generate a spark, thus igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder. The spark plug's mounting location has a lower protective sleeve, usually made of metal, which protects the bottom of the spark plug and serves as both a mounting base and an airtight seal.
[0003] Removing the lower spark plug sleeve requires a special removal wrench, usually a T-shaped wrench. The wrench has four protrusions at the tip that align with the four slots on the top of the lower spark plug sleeve, allowing it to be removed by rotation. However, this method has some functional limitations and room for improvement. For example, the slot specifications for the lower spark plug sleeves of engines from three manufacturers—Shangchai, Yuchai, and Weichai—are different, requiring three different sets of wrenches to cover various application scenarios, which increases costs. Furthermore, it lacks a convenient function for replacing the locking clip.
[0004] Now, a novel tool for removing the lower spark plug sheath is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
