The present invention relates to a hand tool, in particular to a stop structure of a ratchet wrench which can ensure the idling angle.

Press, ratchet wrench is a hand tool that is often used to turn screws (bolts or nuts) or sockets, and can rotate screws at a small angle. As shown in FIG. 1 , a conventional ratchet wrench 10 is provided, which comprises a body 11 , a ratchet head 12 , a ratchet block 13 and a reversing member 14 . The body 11 is provided with an accommodating groove. 111. The ratchet head 12, the ratchet block 13 and the reversing member 14 are placed in sequence. The reversing member 14 can be forced to change the direction. The reversing member 14 has a pushing block 141 with an elastic force, the push block 141 can elastically press against the ratchet block 13, and by changing the direction of the reversing member 14, the elastic force position of the push block 141 can be changed, so that the ratchet block 13 can be in different The ratchet head 12 is engaged in position, and the rotation direction of the ratchet head 12 can be changed by changing the engaging position of the ratchet block 13, so that the ratchet head 12 can exert force in one direction, and can form idling in the other direction. In order to retract the ratchet head 12 in the non-forced direction, there is a gap between the ratchet block 13 and the reversing member 14, so that the ratchet head 12 can press the ratchet block when retracting. 13 and the push block 141, so that the ratchet block 13 does not engage the ratchet head 12, then, the The elastic force generated by the push block 141 will push the ratchet block 13 again, so that the angle of each rotation of the ratchet head 12 will be limited, that is, the angle of one tooth per idle rotation (for example, if the ratchet head 12 has 72 teeth, will go back 5 degrees each time).

In the conventional ratchet wrench, because there is a gap between the ratchet block 13 and the reversing member 14, when the ratchet block 13 is engaged with the ratchet head 12 and exerts force, when the ratchet block 13 is idling in the opposite direction, A large reaction force will be generated, so that the ratchet block 13 will push the push block 141 down, and because of the reaction force, the push block 141 will not have time to rebound, causing the ratchet head 12 to idle. The angle of the ratchet is greater than the angle of one tooth (that is, greater than 5 degrees), and the idling angle can be controlled only after the push block 141 pushes the ratchet block 13 again. Therefore, when the operation is to be performed in a very narrow space, the force application angle is often not as expected, thereby reducing the efficiency, or increasing the number of reciprocating rotations, resulting in trouble in use.
