Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bridge maintenance technology, and in particular to a tool for fixing loose bolts on wind barriers. Background Technology

[0002] The maintenance of existing bridges requires tightening or replacing loose bolts on the bridge's wind barriers. The wind barriers are located on the outer side of the bridge, with the bolts and nuts securing the barriers on the inner side and the bolt nuts on the outer side. This necessitates securing the loose bolts to the nut side. Conventional methods require maintenance personnel to climb over to the outer side of the wind barrier to tighten the bolts and nuts, posing significant safety risks and being inefficient.

[0003] To address the current need for post-construction maintenance of wind barrier bolts on existing bridges, a tool is required that can ensure personnel safety while improving work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a tool for fixing loose bolts on a wind barrier, which solves the problem in related technologies where maintenance personnel can only climb over to the outside of the wind barrier to fix the bolts and nuts, posing a significant safety risk and resulting in low efficiency.

[0005] This application provides a tool for securing loose bolts on a wind barrier, comprising: A connecting rod, the connecting rod comprising a main body segment and a curved segment formed by bending one end of the main body segment toward the other end; A handle, which is connected to one end of the main body segment; A sleeve, which is connected to one end of the bent section, and the sleeve has a slot for fitting onto a bolt or nut.

[0006] In some embodiments, the sleeve is detachably connected to the bent section.

[0007] In some embodiments, the sleeve is threadedly connected to the bent section.

[0008] In some embodiments, the sleeve is provided with a insertion hole, and the bent section is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0009] In some embodiments, a pad layer for increasing friction is provided between the insertion hole and the curved section.

[0010] In some embodiments, the padding layer is a resilient sleeve.

[0011] In some embodiments, the tool includes a plurality of sleeves with different notch diameters, and one of the plurality of sleeves is selectively connected to the bent section.

[0012] In some embodiments, the tool further includes a plurality of shims of different thicknesses, wherein one of the shims is selectively installed in the slot to adjust the diameter of the slot.

[0013] In some embodiments, the curved section is formed by bending one end of the connecting rod multiple times.

[0014] In some embodiments, the diameter of the handle is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in this application include: This application provides a tool for fixing loose bolts on a wind barrier. The tool can extend through the opening of the wind barrier inside the barrier so that the sleeve end can reach the bolt position for fixing. This allows workers to fix the bolts from the relatively safe inside of the wind barrier, ensuring worker safety and being more efficient than climbing over the wind barrier.

[0016] The tools provided in this application are easy to operate and can improve work efficiency.

[0017] The tool provided in this application is simple in construction and easy to carry. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a tool for fixing loose bolts of a wind barrier, which includes a connecting rod 1, a handle 2, and a sleeve 3. The connecting rod 1 includes a main body section 11 and a curved section 12 formed by bending one end of the main body section 11 towards the other end. The connecting rod 1 is bent at a specific angle to form a shape similar to the letter "J" or a fishhook, so that the sleeve 3 can be extended through the wind barrier opening 51 to reach the bolt nut 4 on the outside of the wind barrier 5 for fixing. The handle 2 is connected to one end of the main body section 11, and the sleeve 3 is connected to one end of the curved section 12. The sleeve 3 has a groove 31 for fitting onto the bolt nut 4. After the groove 31 of the sleeve 3 is fitted onto the bolt nut 4, the tool can be controlled to ensure that the bolt will not rotate when the nut 6 is tightened on the inside of the wind barrier 5.

[0023] In use, hold handle 2 and extend the sleeve 3 on connecting rod 1 through the wind barrier opening 51 to the position of the bolt nut 4 on the outside of the wind barrier 5. After the sleeve 3 is properly positioned, the maintenance personnel hold handle 2 and press the sleeve 3 inward so that the sleeve 3 fits onto the bolt nut 4 and is fixed. The maintenance personnel on the inside can then use a wrench to tighten or remove the nut 6. The principle for reinstalling the bolt is the same: first, fix the bolt nut 4 with the sleeve 3 of the tool, then pass the tool through the wind barrier opening 51 through the wind barrier 5 to the installation position. After the bolt passes through the installation hole, use a wrench to tighten the nut 6 onto the bolt.

[0024] As can be seen, the tool provided in this application can extend through the opening of the wind barrier inside the wind barrier so that the end of the sleeve can reach the position of the wind barrier bolts for fixing, ensuring the safety of the operators.

[0025] The tools provided in this application are easy to operate and can improve work efficiency.

[0026] The tool provided in this application is simple in construction and easy to carry.

[0027] In order to enable the tool provided in this application to handle different bolts, the sleeve 3 is detachably connected to the bent section 12.

[0028] Specifically, there are several methods for detachable connection.

[0029] For example, the sleeve 3 is threadedly connected to the bent section 12.

[0030] For example, as an example, the sleeve 3 is provided with a plug hole, and the bent section 12 is plugged into the plug hole.

[0031] Furthermore, a pad layer for increasing friction is provided between the insertion hole and the bent section 12.

[0032] The structure of the padding layer can take many forms. For example, as an example, the padding layer can be an elastic sleeve, with the bent section 12 directly inserted into the elastic sleeve. The elastic sleeve can be made of materials such as rubber, plastic, or other polymers. Alternatively, the padding layer can be arranged in multiple segments between the insertion hole and the bent section 12.

[0033] By using a padding layer, the friction between the insertion hole and the curved section 12 can be increased to ensure that the two are inserted very firmly and are not easy to fall off, thus avoiding separation during use.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to enable the tool provided in this application to handle different bolts, as an example, the tool includes a plurality of sleeves 3, each sleeve 3 having a different groove 31 diameter, and the plurality of sleeves 3 being selectively connected to the bent section 12.

[0035] By replacing the sleeve 3 with different slot diameters, different bolts can be accommodated.

[0036] As another example, the tool also includes multiple shims of different thicknesses, which are selectively installed in the slot 31 to adjust the diameter of the slot 31.

[0037] In this embodiment, there is only one sleeve 3, but it is equipped with multiple gaskets of different thicknesses. By installing gaskets in the slot 31, the diameter of the slot 31 can be adjusted to accommodate different bolts.

[0038] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, the curved section 12 is formed by bending one end of the connecting rod 1 multiple times. Of course, the curved section 12 can also be arc-shaped.

[0039] Furthermore, the diameter of the handle 2 is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod 1, making it easier to grip and improving comfort during operation.

[0040] Furthermore, a pull rope can be connected to one end of the curved section 12 near the sleeve 3, or to the sleeve 3. During use, in addition to the maintenance personnel holding the handle 2 to press the sleeve 3 inward so that the sleeve 3 is tightly fitted onto the bolt nut 4, the pull rope is stretched at an angle so that the stretching direction of the pull rope has a certain angle with the direction of pressing the sleeve 3 inward, further ensuring that the sleeve 3 is firmly fixed on the bolt nut 4.
