Abstract

A ratchet wrench capable of rotating quickly and driving rotation includes a handle, a rotary head, a positioning mechanism, and a sleeve. The handle includes an arm and a bar body. The bar body includes an accommodating slot; the arm includes a through hole. The rotary head is connected to the arm and includes recess portions. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning element, a resilient body, and a block element. The resilient body receives the positioning element and is received in the through hole, the positioning element is correspondingly disposed in any of the recess portions, and the block element is connected to the positioning element. The sleeve receives the bar body and operably drives the block element to slide in the accommodating slot, so that the positioning element is positioned and selectively engaged with any recess portion.

Claims (11)

1. A ratchet wrench capable of rotating quickly and driving rotation, comprising:

a handle including an arm and a bar body connected to the arm, the bar body including an accommodating slot, the arm including a through hole communicating with the accommodating slot;

a rotary head, the rotary head being connected to the arm and being rotatable with respect to the arm, the rotary head including a plurality of recess portions;

a positioning mechanism, the positioning mechanism including a positioning element, a resilient body, and a block element, the resilient body receiving the positioning element and being received in the through hole, one end of the positioning element being correspondingly disposed at any of the recess portions, the block element being connected to the other end of the positioning element and being received in the accommodating slot, the block element including a bump; and

a sleeve, the sleeve including an inner ring body and an outer ring body, the inner ring body receiving the bar body while disposed corresponding to the accommodating slot, the outer ring body correspondingly receiving the inner ring body, and the outer ring body and the inner ring body together clamping the bump, the sleeve being able to axially slide on the bar body;

wherein the sleeve operably drives the block element to slide in the accommodating slot, so that the positioning element is positioned and selectively engaged with any of the recess portions;

wherein the positioning element includes a contact pillar, a constraint section extending from the contact pillar, and a rod section extending from the constraint section, the contact pillar is correspondingly engaged with any of the recess portions, and the resilient body receives the rod section to be resiliently clamped between the constraint section and a bottom of the through hole; and

wherein the block element further includes a rectangular bar and a cover extending from the rectangular bar, and the bump extends from the cover to be away from the rectangular bar, and a periphery of the accommodating slot is disposed with a level, and the cover is in contact with the level and is able to slide in the accommodating slot.

2. The ratchet wrench capable of rotating quickly and driving rotation of claim 1 , wherein the inner ring body has a plurality of tooth portions, the inner ring body is fastened and engaged with the outer ring body by means of each the tooth portion.

3. The ratchet wrench capable of rotating quickly and driving rotation of claim 1 , wherein the bump extends from the cover.

4. The ratchet wrench capable of rotating quickly and driving rotation of claim 1 , wherein the rotary head includes an outer housing and a coupling assembly assembled at the outer housing, and the recess portions are formed on the coupling assembly and on two opposite sides at a side surface of the outer housing.
