Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of faucet repair technology, and in particular relates to a tool for removing broken wires from a faucet angle valve. Background Technology

[0002] Angle valves are common components in faucets and daily life, often made of cast iron or cast copper. Due to prolonged use, angle valves are prone to breakage during disassembly due to aging and corrosion, sometimes resulting in the screw breaking off inside the pipe. This not only affects the normal replacement of the faucet but can also directly render concealed pipes unusable, causing inconvenience and financial loss.

[0003] However, existing broken wire removal tools cannot adjust the size of the opening at the contact end with the broken wire, resulting in insufficient compatibility. This makes it difficult to handle broken wires of different diameters and conditions. If the opening is too large, it will easily slip and fail to hold; if it is too small, it cannot be fitted, requiring frequent tool replacements and increasing costs. Uneven force can easily damage components. When the opening does not match the broken wire, the contact area is small, and twisting can easily lead to secondary breakage of the broken wire or stripping and deformation of the mother wire, which may cause serious consequences such as pipeline scrapping. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a tool for removing broken wires from a faucet angle valve to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tool for removing broken wires from a faucet angle valve, comprising a lever handle, an upper removal adjustment block, a lower removal adjustment block, and two adjusting bolts. The lower removal adjustment block has a rotating end on its side wall. The lever handle is rotatably connected to the rotating end. One adjusting bolt is threadedly connected to the upper removal adjustment block and rotatably connected to the lower removal adjustment block. The other adjusting bolt is rotatably connected to the upper removal adjustment block and threadedly connected to the lower removal adjustment block. The two adjusting bolts can be rotated to adjust the distance between the upper and lower removal adjustment blocks. Both the upper and lower removal adjustment blocks have a locking part at their ends.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the fitting and locking parts includes a large semicircular locking post and a small semicircular locking post, the small semicircular locking post being located at the end of the large semicircular locking post, and anti-slip protrusions being provided on the outer side walls of both the large semicircular locking post and the small semicircular locking post.

[0007] Furthermore, a large circular locking head is formed between the two large semicircular locking pins, and a small circular locking head is formed between the two small semicircular locking pins.

[0008] Furthermore, the anti-slip protrusions are tooth-shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper removal adjustment block is provided with a first threaded hole that is threadedly connected to the adjustment bolt, and the upper removal adjustment block is provided with a first rotating hole that is rotatably connected to the adjustment bolt. The lower removal adjustment block is provided with a second threaded hole that is threadedly connected to the adjustment bolt, and the lower removal adjustment block is provided with a second rotating hole that is rotatably connected to the adjustment bolt.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating end is provided with a horizontally arranged rotating shaft, and the lever handle rotates around the rotating shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, a round magnet is provided at the middle position of the lever handle, and a plug hole is provided at the end of the lever handle. An internal hex wrench is provided in the plug hole, and the round magnet magnetically attracts the internal hex wrench.

[0012] Furthermore, both adjusting bolts are provided with internal hexagonal grooves that mate with an internal hexagonal wrench.

[0013] The above-mentioned technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Firstly, when removing a broken wire, rotating the two adjusting bolts allows the upper removal adjusting block to move vertically upwards or downwards, thereby adjusting the distance between the upper and lower removal adjusting blocks. Adjusting the distance between the upper and lower removal adjusting blocks ensures that the anti-slip protrusions fit more tightly against the broken wire during removal, enhancing the gripping force between the anti-slip protrusions and the broken wire and preventing slippage. It can also accommodate broken wires of different specifications, improving tool versatility and controlling clamping force to prevent secondary damage to the broken wire.

[0015] Secondly, in the process of removing broken wires, this utility model allows for different sizes of faucets or angle valves. The large round locking head is suitable for removing broken wires from 20mm (4 / 5" faucets or angle valves, while the small round locking head is suitable for 25mm (6 / 7" faucets or angle valves). The inner diameter of the locking head of different specifications strictly matches the outer diameter of the broken wire, ensuring a seamless fit between the anti-slip structure (such as teeth or threads) and the surface of the broken wire. This avoids slippage or excessive compression due to size deviations, ensuring stable torque transmission and preventing wire breakage or damage to pipe interfaces. Furthermore, one tool set covers two mainstream sizes (2 / 4" and 25" faucets), reducing the number of spare tools. This is particularly suitable for home repairs or on-site service scenarios, allowing for quick responses to different pipe diameter requirements without frequent tool changes. This improves work efficiency while reducing operational difficulty, balancing versatility and professionalism—a key design feature of the broken wire removal tool, emphasizing precision and practicality.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the technical solution of a tool for removing broken wires from a faucet angle valve, provided by various embodiments of this utility model.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a tool for removing broken wires from a faucet angle valve, including a lever handle 1, an upper removal adjustment block 2, a lower removal adjustment block 3, and two adjusting bolts 4. The lower removal adjustment block 3 has a rotating end 31 on its side wall. The lever handle 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating end 31. One adjusting bolt 4 is threadedly connected to the upper removal adjustment block 2 and rotatably connected to the lower removal adjustment block 3, and the other adjusting bolt 4 is rotatably connected to the upper removal adjustment block 2 and threadedly connected to the lower removal adjustment block 3. The two adjusting bolts 4 can be rotated to adjust the distance between the upper removal adjustment block 2 and the lower removal adjustment block 3. The ends of the upper removal adjustment block 2 and the lower removal adjustment block 3 are provided with a locking part 5.

[0028] Specifically, each of the fitting and locking parts 5 includes a large semi-circular locking post 51 and a small semi-circular locking post 52. The small semi-circular locking post 52 is located at the end of the large semi-circular locking post 51. Anti-slip protrusions 55 are provided on the outer side walls of both the large semi-circular locking post 51 and the small semi-circular locking post 52. A large circular locking head 53 is formed between the two large semi-circular locking posts 51, and a small circular locking head 54 is formed between the two small semi-circular locking posts 52.

[0029] During the removal of broken wires, depending on the size of the faucet or angle valve, the large round locking head 53 is suitable for removing broken wires from 20-point (4 / 5) faucets or angle valves, while the small round locking head 54 is suitable for removing broken wires from 25-point (6 / 5) faucets or angle valves.

[0030] The inner diameter of the locking head of different specifications is strictly matched with the outer diameter of the broken wire, ensuring that the anti-slip structure, such as teeth and threads, fits seamlessly with the surface of the broken wire. This avoids slippage or excessive compression caused by dimensional deviations, ensuring stable torque transmission while preventing the broken wire from breaking or damaging the pipe interface. Furthermore, one tool set covers two mainstream sizes, 1 / 4" and 1 / 2" caliber, reducing the number of spare tools required. This is especially suitable for home repairs or on-site service scenarios, allowing for quick responses to different pipe diameter needs without frequent tool changes. This improves work efficiency while reducing operational difficulty, balancing versatility and professionalism—a key design feature of the broken wire removal tool, emphasizing precision and practicality.

[0031] Specifically, the anti-slip protrusion 55 is toothed 56. The toothed shape 56 can form point contact or line contact between the locking part and the broken wire, which can increase the pressure applied by the locking part to the broken wire, making the broken wire easier to lock and less prone to slippage;

[0032] It should be noted that the anti-slip protrusion 55 can also be in the form of a reverse thread. The broken wire is removed by inserting the reverse thread into the broken wire and rotating it counterclockwise. The reverse thread effectively engages the broken wire, increasing friction and making it easier to remove.

[0033] It can also be mesh-shaped, which provides friction in multiple directions, making the contact between the tool and the broken wire more stable and helping to remove the broken wire more reliably.

[0034] Specifically, the upper removal adjustment block 2 is provided with a first threaded hole 21 that is threadedly connected to the adjustment bolt 4, the upper removal adjustment block 2 is provided with a first rotating hole 22 that is rotatably connected to the adjustment bolt 4, the lower removal adjustment block 3 is provided with a second threaded hole 32 that is threadedly connected to the adjustment bolt 4, and the lower removal adjustment block 3 is provided with a second rotating hole 33 that is rotatably connected to the adjustment bolt 4.

[0035] When removing the broken wire, rotating the two adjusting bolts 4 can move the position of the upper removal adjusting block 2 vertically upward or downward, thereby adjusting the distance between the upper removal adjusting block 2 and the lower removal adjusting block 3. Adjusting the distance between the upper removal adjusting block 2 and the lower removal adjusting block 3 can make the anti-slip protrusion 55 fit the broken wire more tightly when removing the broken wire.

[0036] This can enhance the engagement between the anti-slip protrusion 55 and the broken wire, preventing slippage: When the spacing is adjusted to the appropriate level, the anti-slip protrusion 55 will form a "physical engagement" with the surface of the broken wire (such as teeth getting into the rusted gaps of the broken wire, or reverse threads engaging with the inner wall threads of the broken wire), increasing static friction. If the spacing is too large, the protrusion cannot effectively contact the broken wire, and it is easy to slip when rotating. Not only will the broken wire not be removed, but the protrusion may also be worn down or the broken wire may be further damaged. If the spacing is too small, the broken wire may break due to excessive compression.

[0037] By adjusting the spacing to achieve a "tight fit", the force of the anti-slip protrusion 55 can be accurately transmitted to the broken wire, avoiding slippage and failure.

[0038] It can adapt to broken wires of different specifications, improving the versatility of the tool: The adjustable spacing design allows the upper removal adjustment block 2 and the lower removal adjustment block 3 to adapt to broken wires of different diameters: for thicker broken wires, increase the spacing; for thinner broken wires, decrease the spacing.

[0039] Even if the broken wires become thicker or deformed locally due to corrosion, the anti-slip protrusions 55 can be evenly fitted at multiple contact points by finely adjusting the spacing, ensuring overall force balance.

[0040] This versatility reduces the limitations of tool usage, eliminating the need to equip separate tools for different specifications of broken wires.

[0041] The clamping force can be controlled to avoid secondary damage to the broken wire: by rotating the adjusting bolt 4 to finely adjust the spacing, the clamping force of the anti-slip protrusion 55 on the broken wire can be precisely controlled: this ensures that the anti-slip protrusion 55 is embedded in the surface of the broken wire to form an effective engagement, while also preventing the broken wire from breaking due to excessive compression.

[0042] For broken wires made of brittle materials (such as severely rusted cast iron wires), the clamping force can be adjusted to "light clamping + slow application of force"; for broken wires made of tougher materials (such as brass wires), the clamping force can be increased appropriately to improve wire removal efficiency.

[0043] Specifically, the rotating end 31 is provided with a horizontally arranged rotating shaft 310, and the lever 1 rotates around the rotating shaft 310. When removing the broken wire, the lever 1 rotates around the rotating shaft 310, so that the lever 1 and the lower removal adjustment block 3 are at a certain angle, so as to drive the fitting locking part 5 to rotate and remove the broken wire outward.

[0044] Specifically, a round magnet 11 is provided at the middle position of the lever 1, and a plug hole 12 is provided at the end of the lever 1. An internal hex wrench 6 is provided in the plug hole 12, and the round magnet 11 magnetically attracts the internal hex wrench 6.

[0045] The hex wrench 6 is usually small in size. When removing tools with broken threads, if the hex wrench 6 does not fit tightly with the insertion hole 12 of the handle 1, it is easy to accidentally fall off when forcefully rotating or adjusting the angle. The attraction force of the round magnet 11 can firmly fix the hex wrench 6 in the insertion hole 12, avoiding operation interruption due to falling off. Especially in narrow pipe installation spaces (such as under cabinets, corners, etc.), it can reduce the trouble of bending over to pick up tools and improve operation efficiency.

[0046] After the work is completed, the Allen wrench 6 can be magnetically attached to the socket 12, making it less likely to be lost and convenient for future use. No additional fixing devices (such as clips or screws) are needed, simplifying the tool's structure and avoiding the problem of clips failing due to wear, thus extending the tool's lifespan.

[0047] Specifically, both adjusting bolts 4 are provided with hexagonal sockets 41 that cooperate with hexagonal wrenches 6; by inserting the hexagonal tool into the hexagonal sockets 41, the corresponding adjusting bolts 4 can be rotated by rotating the hexagonal wrench 6, thereby adjusting the anti-slip protrusions 55 on the upper and lower removal adjusting blocks 2 and 3 to fit tightly with the broken wire, so as to remove the broken wire outward.

[0048] Working principle: During the removal of the broken wire, determine whether the faucet or angle valve is 1 / 4 or 1 / 6 point. Insert the small round locking head 54 or the large round locking head 53 into the corresponding broken wire of the faucet or angle valve. Insert the Allen wrench 6 into the Allen socket 41. Then, rotate the two adjusting bolts 4 to adjust the distance between the upper removal adjusting block 2 and the lower removal adjusting block 3, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two anti-slip protrusions 55 so that the two anti-slip protrusions 55 fit tightly against the broken wire. Then, rotate the lever 1 on the rotating shaft 310 so that the lever 1 and the rotating end 31 form a certain angle. Rotate the lever 1 to remove the broken wire from the faucet or angle valve.

[0049] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
