[0025] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the following detailed description of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model is provided through specific usage methods.

[0026] In practical use, the castle-type hydraulic wrench according to this utility model has a housing 1, a rotating assembly 19 on the housing, a quick connector 20 connected to one side of the rotating assembly and connected to the oil pipe, a cylinder liner 10 in the inner hole of the housing 1, a piston assembly 9 in the inner hole of the cylinder liner 10, the piston assembly 9 being connected to the left drive plate 401 and the right drive plate 402 via a drive pin 5, a pawl 3 in the small round hole between the left drive plate 401 and the right drive plate 402, a pawl spring 6 in the groove inside the pawl 3, and a fixing pin 7 inserted into the small hole of the pawl 3, passing through the ring of the pawl spring 6 to fix it to the pawl spring 6 and the pawl 3. Fixed pin 2 8 passes through the other end of the pawl spring 6 and is fixed to both ends of the left drive plate 401 and right drive plate 402. A ratchet 2 is provided at the large circular hole in the middle of the left drive plate 401 and right drive plate 402. A reaction lever 11 is provided in the inclined groove inside the housing 1. Fixed screws 13 pass through the inner holes of the left lever 1201 and right lever 1202 on both sides and are fixed to the reaction lever 11. A reaction lever spring 15 is provided in the large hole in the middle of the reaction lever 11. Fixed pin 3 14 passes through the small hole in the middle part of the reaction lever 11 and fixes the reaction lever 11 and the reaction lever spring 15. 15 The other end is inserted into the oblique round hole at the lower left end of the housing 1 and fixed with the fixing pin 16. The fixing pin 16 is stuck in the groove at the lower left end of the housing 1. The housing 1 has plugs 25 on both sides and a protective cover 17 on the outside. The fixing screw 18 fixes the protective cover to the housing 1. The ratchet 2 has a drive castle sleeve 21 in the inner hole. The drive castle sleeve 21 has a reaction shaft 22 in the inner hole. One end of the reaction shaft 22 is fitted with a retainer 23. The center of the retainer 23 has a fixing screw 24. The retainer 23 and the reaction shaft 22 are connected and fixed. The spline of the retainer 23 is inserted into the spline hole in the housing 1 for cooperation and fixation.

[0027] The specific implementation plan is as follows: 1. Insert the oil pipe into the quick-connect fitting 22 of the castle-style hydraulic wrench and ensure that the connection is secure.

[0028] 2. Place the castle-type hydraulic wrench on the castle-type tension nut under working conditions, with the reaction shaft 22 inserted into the spline inside the mandrel of the castle-type tension nut. Use the fine-tuning wrench to drive the castle sleeve 21 so that it is properly installed in conjunction with the castle sleeve of the castle tension nut.

[0029] 3. The hydraulic wrench begins to work: When oil is introduced, hydraulic oil flows into the oil inlet chamber through the quick-connect fitting 20, the rotating assembly 19 and the oil passage of the housing 1, and applies a thrust to the piston assembly 9. The piston assembly 9 pushes the drive pin 5 to drive the left drive plate 401, the right drive plate 402 and the pawl 3 to move. The pawl 3 pushes the ratchet 2 to move clockwise. At the same time, the reaction force lever 11 is stretched by the reaction force lever spring 15 and puts on the meshing teeth to complete the process. During the return stroke, hydraulic oil flows into the return oil chamber through the quick-connect fitting 20, the rotating assembly 19, and the oil passage of the housing 1, and applies a thrust to the piston assembly 9. The piston assembly 9 pulls the drive pin 5, which drives the left drive plate 401, the right drive plate 402, and the pawl 3 to perform a return stroke. Under the tension of the reaction force lever 11, the reaction force lever spring 15 presses against the meshing tooth surface of the ratchet 2 to prevent the ratchet 2 from rotating. The pawl 3 disengages from the meshing teeth and rests on the meshing teeth of the next stroke, completing the return stroke.

[0030] The reciprocating motion of the hydraulic wrench causes the castle-like tension nut and bolt to tighten.

[0031] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, a precise and secure connection with the castle-type nut is achieved through the use of a dedicated drive castle sleeve. Internally, a hydraulically driven piston drives a transmission mechanism that engages a pawl and a ratchet, enabling motorized bolt tightening and ensuring uniform, precise, and efficient tightening torque. Simultaneously, the integrated reaction force system provides stable support for the operation, effectively counteracting the reaction torque and ensuring operational safety. This invention combines the advantages of specialization, high efficiency, and high precision, perfectly meeting the locking requirements of castle-type tension nuts under special working conditions.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
