Foldable Torque Tool With Rotating Driving Member And Blocking Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional torque tools have limited application range and are inconvenient for storage and carrying due to their fixed volume and single operational mode.
Innovation Solution
A foldable torque tool with a handle, driving member, and blocking structure that allows for multiple operational modes by being rotatable between folded and unfolded positions, featuring adjustable torque and a compact design for easy storage and use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the torque tool is designed with a fixed volume, then the structural stability is improved, but the convenience for storage and carry deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The driving member is designed to be rotatable between a folded position (where the axis extends toward the first opening) and an unfolded position (where it protrudes through the second opening), transforming the tool from a static fixed-volume structure to a dynamic adjustable structure that can change its effective volume and operational configuration based on usage requirements
2Device complexity
If the torque tool operates in a single way, then the device complexity is reduced, but the application range deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The blocking structure with first and second blocking units enables the driving member to assume multiple positions and operational modes - it can be locked in an unfolded position for standard torque operations, rotated to a folded position for compact storage, or positioned at intermediate angles for different application scenarios, making the single tool adaptable to multiple functions without increasing overall device complexity

AI summary
A foldable torque tool is provided, including a handle, a driving member and a blocking structure. The driving member is rotatably disposed on the handle. The blocking structure has a first blocking unit and a second blocking unit. The first blocking unit is disposed on the handle. The second blocking unit is disposed on the driving member. When the driving member is in an unfolded position, the first blocking unit is blocked with the second blocking unit, and then the driving member is non-rotatable to a folded position.
