Description

Technical Field

[0001] The device of the present invention belongs to the technical field of power tools, and particularly relates to a replaceable-head power tool with a safety mechanism. Background Art

[0002] As is well known, multi-head power tools include multiple replaceable working heads. There is a known disclosed power tool, such as US9956677B2. Such a working head power tool is used to quickly remove different working heads to meet the requirements of different working occasions. There are deficiencies in the connection between the working head component and the tool body disclosed in the above-mentioned document. Especially when using a reciprocating saw working head, for example, as shown in the attached Figure 10 , Figure 14 , Figure 22, the connection end between such a working head and the tool body must be kept in close fit during operation. When in use, once a fatigue wear gap appears at the connection part between the working head and the tool body, the working efficiency of such a working head will be greatly reduced. When the connection end between the working head and the tool body of this disclosed multi-head power tool is connected, it relies on an open steel ring arranged inside the tool body. The open steel ring realizes two states of opening and closing through its own elastic deformation. The working head is quickly inserted into the tool body to forcibly guide the open steel ring to open. After connection, it relies on the elastic recovery of the open steel ring to return to the closed state. When closed, it bites the card slot arranged on the connection part of the working head. Since the cooperation form between the steel ring and the card slot is in line contact, the connection mating surface between the working head and the open steel ring is small, and the closing locking force is small. There is a hidden danger of loosening of the connection between the working head and the tool body. Moreover, during use, the gap at the connection end between the working head and the tool body will become larger, and in serious cases, the connection surface of the connection end will be damaged and deformed. The connection mating surface between the working head and the tool body is small. When the working intensity increases, the gap at the connection surface between the working head and the tool body becomes larger, thereby affecting the connection and cooperation between other working heads and the tool body. Moreover, this gap cannot be compensated, and the practical efficiency and service life of the tool are greatly reduced.

[0003] Another known multi-head power tool, such as a power tool system disclosed in CN103722537 B, also has multiple quick-release working heads. This disclosed multi-head power tool utilizes a rotatable limit ring disposed within the tool body. Wedge blocks are provided on the inner ring surface of the limit ring. This limit ring has an unlocking position and a connecting position. During connection, a pushing block on the working head is inserted into the tool body, causing the wedge block on the inner surface of the limit ring to rotate to the unlocking position. After being connected in place, the limit ring automatically returns to the connecting position by relying on a return spring. At this time, the wedge block is axially engaged with the pushing block. Although the pushing block on the working head is provided with a tapered mating surface to achieve a locking fit between the working head and the limit ring, the cooperation between the pushing block and the wedge block is still in line contact. During high-intensity operation, the mating surface between the pushing block and the wedge block is prone to fatigue wear and produce a mating gap. Since the limit ring needs to be rotatably disposed within the tool body flexibly, a rotational gap between the two must be artificially set in terms of structure. Although the connection end of the disclosed tool body and the working head increases the area of the mating surface of the connection end, due to the existence of the rotational gap between the limit ring and the tool body, there is still a connection gap after the working head is connected to the tool body during normal use. This gap will expand when using a reciprocating saw working head, resulting in reduced efficiency and lifespan during long-term operation.

[0004] For the above-disclosed multi-head power tool, the connection structure between the working head and the tool body is not perfect and reliable. The multi-head power tool disclosed in CN103722537 B seemingly solves the mating gap between the working head and the limit ring, but the anti-fatigue wear ability of this mating structure is poor. At the same time, there is still a mating gap between the limit ring and the tool body. Since there are multiple working heads and the mating gaps between each working head and the tool body are inconsistent, more importantly, the mating gaps between the two can never be compensated and adjusted. There are areas for improvement in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

The working head engaging device 16 is also provided with an axially extending axial boss 24. When the working head engaging device 16 is connected to the working head 20, the guiding inclined surface 23 is axially pushed by the outer engagement element 31 to achieve circumferential rotation of the working head engaging device 16. The output end of the motor 12 is also fixedly provided with a motor bracket 14. A limiting groove 32 for axially inserting the axial boss 24 of the working head engaging device 16 is provided on the motor bracket 14. A reset element 15 is provided in the limiting groove 32, and the axial boss 24 is supported by the reset element 15 to rotate and reset in the positioning groove.

[0036] The described locking device 21 can rotate circumferentially around the output shaft and has at least three working states of unlocking, engaging, and locking. The locking device 21 can be switched between the three working states. When the locking device 21 is in the unlocking state and the engaging state, it is circumferentially rotationally linked with the working head engaging device 16. When the locking device 21 is in the locking state, it is axially linked with the working head engaging device 16. A locking inner ring surface 34 and a locking outer ring surface 17 are provided on the locking device 21. At least one section of a screwed rib 22 is provided on the locking outer ring surface 17. The locking inner ring surface 34 of the locking device 21 axially sleeved on the engaging outer ring surface 38 of the working head engaging device 16. An inner ring step 36 is also provided on the locking inner ring surface 34. A conduction surface 33 and a groove 29 are provided on the inner ring step 36. The conduction surface 33 axially abuts against the axial abutting surface 26 on the working head engaging device 16 when the locking device 21 is in the locking state. The groove 29 axially sleeved the rotating flank 25 and is rotationally linked with the working head engaging device 16 when the locking device 21 is in the unlocking state and the engaging state. A lever 30 is provided on the locking outer ring surface 17 of the locking device 21. The lever 30 can rotate circumferentially around the axis and is arranged in a notch 35 on the body housing 11. A screwed groove 41 that cooperates with the screwed rib 22 of the locking device 21 is provided on the inner wall of the body housing 11. The screwed groove 41 and the screwed rib 22 are closely fitted when the locking device 21 is in the locking state and are separated when the locking device 21 is in the unlocking state.

[0037] The body housing 11 is provided with a mounting notch 43, and a fastening element 42 for locking the locking device 21 is fixed on the mounting notch 43. At least one locking groove 45 cooperating with the fastening element 42 is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the locking device 21. The locking groove 45 contacts the fastening element 42 when the locking device 21 is in the engaged state and the locked state. The locking device 21 in the engaged state and the locked state is fixed by the fastening element 42, avoiding the situation that the locking device 21 is reset due to vibration and the locking device 21 is disengaged from the locked state.

[0038] The working head 20 is mounted on the body housing 11 through a working head engaging device 16. The locking device 21 sleeved on the outer periphery of the working head engaging device 16 and rotatably arranged in the body housing 11 drives the working head engaging device 16 and the working head 20 to move towards the body housing 11 and locks the working head engaging device 16. The locking device 21 has three states: unlocking, engaging and locking. When the working head 20 is mounted on the body housing 11, the locking device 21 is in the engaged state. The locking device 21 is rotated from the engaged state to the locked state through a screwing rib 22 fixedly arranged on the outer periphery of the locking device 21 and a screwing groove 41 fixedly arranged on the mounting ring groove and cooperating with the screwing rib 22. While the locking device 21 rotates circumferentially, it drives the working head engaging device 16 and the working head 20 to move towards the body housing 11 along the axis of the locking device 21 to complete the locking of the working head 20, effectively reducing the gap between the working head 20 and the body housing 11, greatly reducing the loss during the use of the working head 20, and greatly prolonging the service life of the working head 20 and the body housing 11.

[0039] The safety mechanism 68 includes a locking element 51 movably arranged in the tool body 10 and used for locking the button 47. A support shaft 62 is fixedly arranged on the locking element 51. The locking element 51 is rotatably arranged in the tool body 10 through the support shaft 62. An engaging portion 48 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the button 47. One end of the locking element 51 is buckled on the engaging portion 48, and this end is the rear end of the locking element 51. A matching convex portion 53 for driving the front end of the locking element 51 to rotate around the support shaft 62 so that the rear end of the locking element 51 is disengaged from the engaging portion 48 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the working head 20. An unlocking block 64 capable of moving along the length direction of the matching convex portion 53 and driving the locking element 51 to rotate is movably arranged on the matching convex portion 53. A working head safety spring 59 for driving the unlocking block 64 away from the matching convex portion 53 is arranged on the matching convex portion 53.

[0040] One end of the engaging portion 48 away from the locking element 51 is provided with an engaging surface 63, and the rear end of the locking element 51 is provided with a locking surface 61 for being clamped on the engaging surface 63. The locking element 51 is buckled on the engaging surface 63 of the engaging portion 48 through the engaging surface 63.

[0041] The front end of the locking element 51 is provided with a trigger inclined surface 50 that contacts the unlocking block 64. During the movement of the unlocking block 64 towards the locking element 51, it first contacts the starting inclined surface on the locking element 51. The locking element 51 is driven to rotate around the support shaft 62 through the trigger inclined surface 50, so that the rear end of the locking element 51 is separated from the engaging portion 48 to complete unlocking, making the action of the unlocking block 64 driving the locking element 51 to complete unlocking smoother.

[0042] The trigger inclined surface 50 is provided with a clamping groove 65 for clamping the unlocking block 64. After the unlocking block 64 drives the locking element 51 to rotate to complete the unlocking of the engaging portion 48, the unlocking block 64 is clamped in the clamping groove 65, preventing the unlocking block 64 from sliding after unlocking, and being safer and more reliable during use.

[0043] By rotating the locking element 51 arranged in the tool body 10 to be clamped on the engaging portion 48 of the button 47, when the working head 20 is not installed or after the working head 20 is installed, if the user accidentally touches the button 47, the locking element 51 is buckled on the engaging surface 63 of the engaging portion 48 through the locking surface 61, realizing the locking of the button 47, and the button 47 cannot be pressed, effectively avoiding the accidental start of the tool. When the tool body 10 needs to be used, the working head 20 is installed on the tool body 10, and the unlocking block 64 is pressed to make the unlocking block 64 move towards the locking element 51 and contact the trigger inclined surface 50 on the locking element 51. The unlocking block 64 drives the front end of the locking element 51 to rotate around the support shaft 62, so that the rear end of the locking element 51 is separated from the engaging portion 48. At this time, pressing the button 47 can start the tool body 10, which is safer during use and effectively protects the safety of the user and the tool body 10.

[0044] A commutation block 66 for adjusting the current direction in the switch body 46 is rotatably provided on the switch body 46. A swinging boss 55 is fixedly provided at one end of the commutation block 66 far away from the switch body 46. A commutation dial 57 for driving the commutation block 66 to rotate is movably provided on the tool body 10. A translation groove 56 sleeving the swinging boss 55 is formed on the commutation dial 57. The swinging boss 55 is clamped in the translation groove 56. A yaw element 52 for locking the commutation dial 57 is rotatably provided on the tool body 10. A translation boss 58 is fixedly provided on the commutation dial 57. A yaw groove 54 for clamping on the translation boss 58 is formed at the rear end of the yaw element 52. The commutation dial 57 can move along the length direction of the commutation dial 57 and drive the yaw element 52 and the commutation block 66 to rotate. A yaw trigger surface 60 for clamping on the matching convex portion 53 is formed at the front end of the yaw element 52. A fixing block 67 for locking the yaw element 52 is fixedly provided on the matching convex portion 53. The yaw trigger surface 60 on the yaw element 52 can only be located on one side of the fixing block 67. The current direction is adjusted by the commutation dial 57. After the adjustment is completed, the working head 20 is installed on the tool body 10. At this time, the yaw trigger surface 60 on the yaw element 52 is only located on one side of the fixing block 67 in the matching convex portion 53. The yaw element 52 and the commutation dial 57 are locked by the fixing block 67, avoiding damage to the tool body 10 caused by accidental touch of the commutation dial 57 during the use of the tool body 10, and being relatively safe and reliable in use.
