[0018] The following is combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0019] Example An adjustable wrench includes a handle 1, a fixed jaw 3 fixedly disposed on the handle 1, and a movable jaw 2 slidably disposed on the fixed jaw 3. The fixed jaw 3 has a mounting groove 15, and a worm gear 14 for driving the movable jaw 2 is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove 15. A rotating rod 8, which rotatably passes through the fixed jaw 3, is fixedly connected to the axis of the worm gear 14. A protective cover 6 is detachably connected to the mounting groove 15.

[0020] A protective cover 6 is provided on the mounting groove 15 for mounting the worm gear 14 to prevent foreign objects from entering the mounting groove 15 and affecting the rotation of the worm gear. The worm gear 14 rotates by rotating the rotating rod 8 that passes through the fixed jaw 3, ensuring the normal use of the adjustable wrench.

[0021] The protective cover 6 can be installed on the fixing jaw 3 by screw connection or snap-fit, thereby sealing the mounting groove 15. The mounting groove 15 can be a through groove or a recess. When the mounting groove 15 is a through groove, the protective cover 6 needs to be installed on both the front and back. When the mounting groove 15 is a recess, the protective cover 6 only needs to be installed on the opening side of the recess.

[0022] The rotating rod 8 is provided with a thread 9 located outside the fixed jaw 3, and a threaded sleeve 7 is connected to the rotating rod 8 through the thread 9. After the position of the movable jaw 2 is adjusted, that is, after the opening width of the adjustable wrench is adjusted, the rotating threaded sleeve 7 can be pressed against the outer wall of the fixed jaw 3 through the thread 9, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotating rod 8 through friction, ensuring the accurate size of the opening width, and preventing the movable jaw 2 and the worm gear 14 from axially loosening and causing changes in the size of the opening width.

[0023] A fixing seat 10 that mates with the threaded sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing jaw 3. Since the outer side of the fixing jaw 3 has an arc-shaped structure, the friction force after the threaded sleeve 7 abuts is small. Therefore, a fixing seat 10 is provided. After the threaded sleeve 7 abuts against the fixing seat 10, the end face of the threaded sleeve 7 can be completely fitted with the end face of the fixing seat 10, thereby increasing the friction force. Furthermore, an anti-slip rubber pad or other anti-slip structure can be provided on the end face of the fixing seat 10.

[0024] A drive block is provided at the end of the rotating rod 8. The drive block is circular, making it easy to rotate the rotating rod 8 by turning the drive block. Both the threaded sleeve 7 and the drive block are provided with knurling to increase friction and facilitate rotation.

[0025] The handle 1 has four grooves 4. The four grooves 4 make it easy for the operator's fingers to grip.

[0026] An anti-slip pad 5 is provided in the groove 4. The anti-slip pad 5 can increase the friction for gripping and prevent the hand from slipping.

[0027] A limiting groove 12 is laterally formed in the fixed jaw 3. A movable rod 11, which is fixedly connected to the movable jaw 2, is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 12. Several drive teeth 13, which mesh with a worm gear 14, are evenly spaced at the bottom of the movable rod 11. Rotating the worm gear 14 in conjunction with the drive teeth 13 can drive the movable jaw 2 to move left and right, thereby adjusting the opening width. The limiting groove 12 is gourd-shaped, meaning it is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. The movable rod 11 also has a structure that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, so that the movable rod 11 can only slide left and right within the limiting groove 12 and will not move upward out of the limiting groove 12.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are 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, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
