Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wrench installation technology, and in particular to a quick-fixing nut wrench that is easy to use in confined spaces. Background Technology
[0002] A quick-release nut wrench, designed for use in confined spaces, is a compact wrench tool with a ratchet mechanism. It allows for rapid tightening or loosening of nuts in limited areas without the need for repeated tool removal and angle adjustments. Typically featuring an ultra-thin head and socket design, it is compatible with various nut sizes and boasts lightweight construction and high torque transmission efficiency. It is widely used in automotive repair, equipment installation, and machinery maintenance.
[0003] A ratchet wrench mainly consists of a handle, a rotating mechanism, and a socket. Its working principle is that the pawl and ratchet engage in one direction, so that the wrench head can only transmit torque in one direction. When rotating in the opposite direction, it spins freely, thus allowing for continuous tightening or loosening of fasteners without having to repeatedly remove the wrench.
[0004] In existing technologies, some ratchet wrenches have non-adjustable handle lengths when used in confined spaces, making it difficult to find a suitable angle for applying force in narrow environments, or even to insert them into the operating area. To address these issues, a quick-fixing nut wrench that is easy to use in confined spaces is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Example:
[0034] A quick-release nut wrench for easy use in confined spaces, see reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device includes a handle 1, which provides a gripping function (this is existing technology and will not be explained further). A drive mechanism 2 is slidably connected inside the handle 1. A groove 3 is provided inside the handle 1 to provide space. A rotating mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the handle 1. A connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to the front of the rotating mechanism 4 to transmit kinetic energy. An adjustment mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting block 5. A square head 7 is fixedly connected to the front of the adjustment mechanism 6 to provide support.
[0035] The drive mechanism 2 includes a protective sleeve 21, which can protect the internal parts from damage. A support plate 22 is slidably connected inside the protective sleeve 21. The support plate 22 plays a supporting and connecting role. A spring 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 22. The spring 23 can provide elastic potential energy. A telescopic component 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 22.
[0036] The telescopic assembly 24 includes a support rod 241, which provides support. The bottom of the support rod 241 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 22, which provides support for the support rod 241. A connecting rod 242 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 241, which provides support for the connecting rod 242. A stop block 243 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 242, which connects the support rod 241 and the stop block 243. A telescopic cylinder 244 is slidably connected to the outside of the support rod 241, allowing the support rod 241 to slide up and down within the telescopic cylinder 244. A slider 245 is slidably connected inside the telescopic cylinder 244, which restricts the movement of the slider 245.
[0037] Specifically, pressing the support plate 22 can push the stop 243 upward, and pulling the protective sleeve 21 can squeeze the slider 245 out of the groove 3, thus pulling the telescopic cylinder 244 out of the handle 1. When the telescopic cylinder 244, carrying the slider 245, passes through another groove 3, the support plate 22 is released. Under the action of the spring 23, the stop 243 will squeeze the slider 245 into the groove 3. At this time, the stop 243 will restrict the movement of the slider 245, thereby achieving the telescopic locking effect.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjustment mechanism 6 includes a universal joint fork 61, which connects and transmits power. The universal joint fork 61 has two ball shafts 62 internally connected to it. The ball shafts 62 reduce friction and provide support. The two ball shafts 62 are externally fixedly connected to a cross shaft 63, which connects the ball shafts 62 and adapts to angle changes.
[0039] Specifically, the universal joint fork 61 serves as both the power input and output end, and is interconnected via the cross shaft 63. The cross shaft 63 can swing within a certain angle range, while the ball shaft 62 is installed at the connection between the cross shaft 63 and the universal joint fork 61 to reduce friction and ensure flexible rotation.
[0040] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The rotating mechanism 4 includes a protective shell 41, which protects the parts. A ratchet 42 is rotatably connected inside the protective shell 41, which transmits kinetic energy. A second spring 43 is fixedly connected inside the protective shell 41, which provides elastic potential energy. A pawl 44 is fixedly connected to the left side of the second spring 43, which provides elastic potential energy to the pawl 44. A lever 45 is rotatably connected inside the protective shell 41, which can adjust the position of the pawl 44.
[0041] The top of spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inside of protective sleeve 21, which provides support for spring 23. The top of protective sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of telescopic cylinder 244, which provides support for telescopic cylinder 244. The top of protective sleeve 21 contacts the bottom of handle 1, which prevents dust from entering the inside of handle 1. The top of pawl 44 is engaged with the outside of ratchet 42, which limits the rotation direction of ratchet 42. The bottom of paddle 45 contacts the right side of one of the pawls 44, which adjusts the position of the pawl 44. While the bottom of paddle 45 contacts the right side of one of the pawls 44, the bottom of paddle 45 does not contact the left side of the other pawl 44. The outside of slider 245 contacts the outside of stop block 243, which limits the movement of slider 245. The outside of slider 245 contacts the inside of groove 3, which provides space for slider 245.
[0042] Specifically, when the grip needs to be extended, the protective cover 21 can provide support for the spring 23, allowing the support rod 241 to rebound. The stop block 243 can restrict the movement of the slider 245, and the groove 3 provides space for the slider 245. In this way, the slider 245 can lock the telescopic cylinder 244 and the handle 1. Moving the lever 45 can adjust the connection between the pawl 44 and the ratchet 42, thereby restricting the rotation direction of the ratchet 42. Moving the lever 45 moves one of the pawls 44 away from the ratchet 42, while the other pawl 44 engages with the ratchet 42 under the action of the spring 43. At this time, the ratchet 42 can only rotate in one direction, and cannot rotate in the other direction due to the restriction of the pawl 44.
[0043] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When the handle needs to be extended for operation in a narrow space, pressing the support plate 22 can push the stop 243 to move upward, and at the same time pulling the protective sleeve 21 can squeeze the slider 245 out of the groove 3, so that the telescopic cylinder 244 can be pulled out from the handle 1. When the telescopic cylinder 244 carrying the slider 245 passes through another groove 3, the support plate 22 is released. Under the action of the spring 23, the stop 243 will squeeze the slider 245 into the groove 3. At this time, the stop 243 will restrict the movement of the slider 245, thereby achieving the telescopic locking effect.
[0044] When adjusting the angle of the square head 7 for complex angle operations, the universal joint fork 61 is connected to each other through the cross shaft 63. The cross shaft 63 can swing within a certain angle range, while the ball shaft 62 is installed at the connection between the cross shaft 63 and the universal joint fork 61 to reduce friction and ensure flexible rotation, so that the square head 7 can be connected to the nut in narrow spaces at different angles.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
