Abstract
A ratchet wrench may include a main body and a quick release member. The main body has a driving end, and a tool hole vertically penetrates therethrough. A housing concavely formed on an inner wall of the tool hole, and a teeth section is installed in the housing. A ratchet wheel is installed into the tool hole, and an outer periphery of the ratchet wheel is adapted to engage with the teeth section so as to enable the ratchet wheel and the tool hole to have synchronous rotation. A driving hole axially penetrates through the ratchet wheel. The quick release member has a magnetic ring, a pressing member, and a cover. The pressing member is adapted to move relative to the driving hole and the magnetic ring, such that a sleeve can be easily coupled in or detected from the driving hole so as to achieve the quick release effect.
Claims7
A ratchet wrench comprising a main body and a quick release member;
- wherein the main body has a driving end, and a tool hole vertically penetrates through the driving end;
- a housing concavely formed on an inner periphery of the tool hole is communicated with the tool hole, and a teeth section is installed in the housing;
- a ratchet wheel is rotated and driven into the tool hole through an inner end of the ratchet wheel, and an outer periphery of the ratchet wheel is adapted to engage with the teeth section of the tool hole so as to enable the ratchet wheel and the tool hole to have synchronous rotation;
- a driving hole axially penetrates through the ratchet wheel;
- and
- wherein the quick release member has a magnetic ring, a pressing member, and a cover;
- the magnetic ring is coupled and magnetically attached to an outer end of the ratchet wheel;
- the pressing member is a column having the outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the magnetic ring, and a locating flange formed at a middle portion of an outer periphery of the pressing member has the outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the magnetic ring, and the pressing member comprises a first pressing section and a second pressing section respectively formed at two sides of the locating flange;
- the first pressing section is adapted to pass through a center hole of the magnetic ring and insert into the driving hole of the ratchet wheel, and the locating flange is abutted against an outer end of the magnetic ring, and the second pressing section is configured to protrude out of the ratchet wheel;
- the cover has a through hole penetrating through a center portion thereof, and the cover is disposed on the second pressing section through the through hole, and the cover is configured to cover the magnetic ring and the pressing member and coupled on the outer end of the ratchet wheel.
