[0012] Angle-variable pliers with a pliers body 1, wherein the pliers body 1 comprises a pliers head 2, a pliers body 3 and a limiting structure 4, wherein the pliers head 2 is connected to the pliers body 3 via a limiting structure 4, wherein the limiting structure 4 comprises a limiting block 5, an elastic part 6 and a limiting device, wherein two limiting blocks 5 are provided, wherein the two limiting blocks 5 are connected to each other by an elastic part 6, wherein the limiting device has a limiting plate 7, wherein the limiting plate 7 is fixedly arranged on the underside of the pliers head 2, wherein the limiting plate 7 is provided with an engagement section 8 for interacting with the limiting block 5, wherein the longitudinal section of the limiting block 5 and the engagement section 8 is polygonal or gear-shaped.wherein in the present embodiment specific shapes such as hexagonal, octagonal or gear-shaped shapes can be assumed, wherein a limiting groove 9 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the limiting plate 7, wherein an internal hexagon nut 10 is arranged between the limiting grooves 9, wherein the elastic part 6 acts as a spring, with reference to , Fig. 1 to Fig. 3.

[0013] In the present embodiment, a fuse box connection module, located within a complex wiring configuration and under voltage, is used for the electrical maintenance of a motor vehicle. In the locked position, the limiting block 5 engages firmly within the engagement section 8 of the limiting plate 7 under the elastic force of the elastic part 6. Through the interaction of the polygonal or gear-shaped limiting block 5 and the engagement section 8, the clamping head 2 is firmly locked to the clamping body 3 at the current angle to ensure a rigid connection during operation. More precisely, in the unlocked position of the angle adjustment, the user presses the limiting block 5, causing the limiting block 5 to press the elastic part 6, thus releasing the limiting block 5 from the engagement section 8 of the limiting plate 7.At this point, the plier head 2 is freely rotatable around the circular shaft section of the limiting block 5 to adjust the desired working angle of the plier head 2. After the pressure is released, the limiting block 5 is rapidly reset under the elastic force of the elastic part 6, so that it is once again embedded in the corresponding toothed grooves of the engagement section 8 of the limiting plate 7, thereby firmly locking the plier head 2 to the plier body 3 at a new working angle. Finally, the fuse box connection is aligned via the plier head 2 to perform a secure disconnection operation. If the angle needs to be readjusted, the above steps can be repeated.

[0014] In summary, when using or operating the entire equipment: During the electrical maintenance of a motor vehicle, a fuse box connection module is used, which is located in a complex wiring configuration and is live. In the locked state, the limiting block 5 engages firmly under the elastic force of the elastic part 6 within the engagement section 8 of the limiting plate 7. Through the interaction of the polygonal or gear-shaped limiting block 5 and the engagement section 8, the clamping head 2 is firmly locked to the clamping body 3 at the current angle to ensure a rigid connection during operation.

[0015] With the angle adjustment unlocked, the user presses the limiting block 5, causing it to press the elastic part 6 and release the limiting block 5 from the engagement section 8 of the limiting plate 7. At this point, the plier head 2 is freely rotatable around the circular shaft section of the limiting block 5 to adjust the desired working angle. After the pressure is released, the limiting block 5 is rapidly reset by the elastic force of the elastic part 6, so that it is once again engaged in the corresponding toothed grooves of the engagement section 8 of the limiting plate 7, thus firmly locking the plier head 2 to the plier body 3 at the new working angle. Finally, the fuse box connection is aligned over the plier head 2 to perform a secure disconnection operation.If the angle needs to be adjusted again, the steps above can be repeated.
