Description

The invention relates to a collapsible cross wrench with adjustable torques, in particular a cross wrench, which can be positioned by simply plugging to allow a quick turning and adjusting the torque. In this way, a simple construction with practicality is guaranteed.

The inventor has previously been in the DE 20 2007 009 416.7 discloses a collapsible cross wrench that can be quickly disassembled for storage and quickly reassembled for use. Such cross wrenches ensure easy packaging, storage and quick installation. At the same time, the effort can be reduced thereby making turning easier to carry out. For this reason, such cross wrenches are very popular among consumers. In use, however, it has been found that the torque of such cross wrenches can not be adjusted. If the torque is adjusted to avoid damaging a bolt due to excessive force applied, a torque wrench must be used before tightening the bolt to finally tighten. This represents a small disadvantage of the invention.

As is well known, torque wrenches (not shown) are made by connecting a working section and a force applying section. By means of a highly elastic element, a high frictional force is created between the components, such that a noticeable kickback occurs between the working portion and the force application portion when the applied force on the torque wrench has reached a prescribed value. This informs you and thus exerts no more power. In this way, the damage caused by excessive force application of the corresponding screw can be excluded.

To date, torque wrenches are in many inventions in an F-form. There are, in simple terms, no torque wrenches in a cross shape. With these conventional torque wrenches, screws can not be turned quickly. Therefore, the reduction of the working time and increase of the work efficiency can not be ensured, except when at the same time having a wrench and a torque wrench and using them alternately. Such an alternating use process is very troublesome and therefore needs improvement.

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a torque adjustable, collapsible cross wrench, starting from the structure of a separable cross wrench, a secondary rod for adjusting the torque, whereby the cross key and the torque wrench are combined in a unit to the advantages of the two key types match.

According to the invention, there is provided a torque adjustable, detachable cross wrench consisting of a main rod and a sub-rod for adjusting the torque. The main rod is provided at one end with a Aufsteckabschnitt and at the other end with a handle. Through the through hole at the thickened central portion of the main rod, the auxiliary rod for adjusting the torque can be pushed through to form a cross key. The secondary rod for adjusting the torque consists of an inner rod having annular grooves spaced apart from each other, an outer force rod having a torque actuator, a handle, an elastic member, a torque adjusting knob and a buckle. By turning the knob, the torque of the torque actuator can be set to a certain value. Thereby, a desired setting of torques is possible.

In the following the invention and its embodiments will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. In the drawing shows:

1 an exploded perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a cross key according to the invention;

2 a perspective assembly view I of the preferred embodiment of a cross key according to the invention according to 1 ;

3 a partially exploded perspective view of the preferred embodiment of a cross key according to the invention according to 1 seen from another side;

4 a perspective assembly view II of the preferred embodiment of a cross key according to the invention according to 1 ;

5 a partial section through a secondary rod according to the invention;

6 an enlarged section 5 in the rest position; and

7 an enlarged section 5 in the position of use for adjusting the torque.

Referring to 1 . 2 . 3 and 4 the cross key according to the invention has a main rod 10 and a side bar 20 for adjusting the torque.

The main bar 10 is at one end with a slip-on section 11 provided, on which a sleeve 50 for turning a screw (not shown) is attached. At the other end of the main bar 10 is a handle 12 attached for turning. A middle section 14 is located in the middle of the main bar 10 and is thickened with a through hole 13 Mistake. At the through hole 13 is a push button 15 provided for locking, for locking in an annular groove 211 an inner rod 21 the secondary rod 20 engages and to release the ring groove 211 the inner rod 21 the secondary rod 20 Will get removed. At the bottom of the thickened middle section 14 is an internally threaded hole 16 provided, in which a positioning bolt 17 is screwed in. The leading edge 171 of the positioning bolt 17 is slightly in the through hole 13 and thus can be used for positioning in a positioning groove 214 the inner rod 21 lock in place ( 3 ).

The secondary rod 20 consists of the inner rod 21 with ring grooves 211 which are spaced apart from each other, an outer force application rod 22 with a torque actuator 40 a handle 23 , an elastic element 24 a knob 25 for adjusting the torque and a buckle 26 , The inner pole 21 is at the connection end 212 with a hole 213 Mistake. Accordingly, the outer force application bar 22 also with a hole 221 Mistake. This makes a pen 27 at the same time through the holes 213 . 221 is performed, the inner rod becomes 21 and the outer force application bar 22 connected with each other. Turn the knob 25 can the torque of the torque actuator 40 be set to a certain value. In this way, a desired adjustment of the torque is possible.

Out 5 it can be seen that the torque actuator 40 hidden in an axial inner hole 222 the outer force application rod 22 is housed and in order one with the connection end 212 the inner rod 21 touched pressure piece 41 , a stable support element 42 , one with a scale 43 provided slider 44 and one at the periphery of the outer force application rod 22 provided window 45 through which the scale 43 can be observed. The slider 44 is about his external thread 441 with the internal threads 223 the outer force application rod 22 screwed. At the open end of the slider 4 is still a torque pin 443 with a ratchet 442 provided to the drive. The more the slider 44 after driving the stable support element 42 presses, the greater the torque and the friction between the pressure piece 41 and the connection end 212 the inner rod 21 , Conversely, the torque and the friction become smaller.

To adjust the torque, the handle 23 - as in 6 and 7 shown - the inner wall of the knob 25 adapted with an internal gear ring 231 Mistake. Accordingly, the knob is 25 at the appropriate place with an external ring gear 251 and inside continue with an inner hole 252 fitted. In the normal state, the elastic element pushes 24 the knob 25 constantly outward, such that the inner ring gear 231 of the handle 23 and the outer ring gear 251 the knob 25 interlocked with each other. In this case, the knob can 25 not be rotated ( 6 ). Will the knob 25 to the handle 23 turned, become the inner and outer ring gear 231 . 251 detached from each other. In this case, the inner hole 252 the knob 25 with the ratchet 442 of the torque adjusting pin 443 toothed to the position of the slider 44 to change ( 7 ) and finally adjust the torque.

In summary, a torque-adjustable detachable cross wrench is disclosed, which consists of a main rod and a secondary rod for adjusting the torque. The main rod is provided at one end with a Aufsteckabschnitt and at the other end with a handle. Through the through hole at the thickened central portion of the main rod, the auxiliary rod for adjusting the torque can be pushed through to form a cross key. The secondary rod for adjusting the torque consists of an inner rod having annular grooves spaced apart from each other, an outer force rod having a torque actuator, a handle, an elastic member, a torque adjusting knob and a buckle. By turning the knob, the torque of the torque actuator can be set to a certain value. Thereby, a desired setting of torques is possible.
