This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201721110812.7 filed on Aug. 31, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The subject matter herein generally relates to mechanical tools, and particularly to a universally adaptable fastening tool.
Many mechanical components, such as screws and nuts, are fastened by a fastening tool, such as a wrench. However, a shape and a size of the mechanical component are usually are complex and various, a common wrench cannot adapt to the mechanical components of different types.
Many aspects of the disclosure can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the exemplary embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the exemplary embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the exemplary embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
The present disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, is illustrated by way of examples and not by way of limitation. Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” exemplary embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same exemplary embodiment, and such references mean “at least one”.
The term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”, it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the main body 10 is a polyhedron. The main body 10 includes a first end 101, a second end 102, a first sidewall 104, and a second sidewall 106. The first end 101 faces the second end 102, the first sidewall 104 faces away from the second sidewall 106. The main body 10 further defines a receiving space 103. The receiving space 103 is formed by encircling of the first end 101, the second end 102, the first sidewall 104, and the second sidewall 106. The receiving space 103 is used for receiving the sliding assembly 12.
A cross-section of the first end 101 is triangular, the first end 101 includes a first surface 1011, a second surface 1012, and a third surface 1013. The third surface 1013 is arranged between the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1012. An angle is formed between the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1012, thus a groove (clamping groove 105) is formed between the first surface 1011 and the second surface 1012. In at least one exemplary embodiment, the clamping groove 105 is substantially triangular.
Referring to
The sliding assembly 12 is mounted in the receiving space 103, and can slide in the receiving space 103. The sliding assembly 12 includes a sliding block 121, a fixing block 123, and at least one fixing element 124. The sliding block 121 includes a fixing member 120 and a clamping member 122. The clamping member 122 is connected with the fixing member 120, a ladder is formed between the clamping member 122 and the fixing member 120. The fixing member 120 defines a connection groove 125, which is used for receiving an end of the driving element 14. The fixing member 120 further defines a fixing hole 126 on each of two sides of the connection groove 125.
The clamping member 122 defines a latching groove 128 away from an end of the fixing member 120. In at least one exemplary embodiment, the latching groove 128 is triangular. When the sliding block 121 is mounted in the receiving space 103, the latching groove 128 faces the clamping groove 105, thus a clamping space 129 is formed between the latching groove 128 and the clamping groove 105. When the sliding assembly 12 is driven to slide in the receiving space 103, a size of the clamping space 129 is changed, thus the clamping space 129 can adapt to components 17 to be fastened with different shapes and sizes.
As illustrated in
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the driving element 14 is a round rod. The driving element 14 includes a connection end 140. The connection end 140 passes through the receiving hole 131 and the through hole 107, then the connection end 140 is mounted in the connection groove 125 of the sliding assembly 12. At this time, the connection end 140 is latched in the connection groove 125, that is, the driving element 14 is connected with the sliding assembly 12, so that the driving element 14 can rotate relative to the sliding assembly 12.
In at least one exemplary embodiment, the driving element 14 further includes a rotation member 141. The rotation member 141 is adjacent to the connection end 140. The rotation member 141 is a thread defined on the driving element 14. When the connection end 140 passes through the receiving hole 131 and the through hole 107, the rotation member 141 can work with the thread member 15. The driving element 14 can move relative to the main body 10, and drive the sliding assembly 12 to slide in the receiving space 103.

As illustrated in
It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.
