Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] The present invention provides an electric screwdriver, including: an output shaft 1, a housing 2, a power output disc 3, internal and external gears 4, a shifting member 5, a transmission device, and a motor 6. The outer surface of the internal and external gears 4 is provided with first external teeth 7, the inner surface of the internal and external gears 4 is provided with internal teeth 8, and the rear end of the output shaft 1 is provided with second external teeth 9 adapted to the internal teeth 8. The internal and external gears 4 are located in the housing 2, and the rear end of the output shaft 1 passes through the front end of the housing 2 to be connected to the internal and external gears 4. The outer surface of the internal and external gears 4 is further provided with a receiving groove 10, and part of the shifting member 5 is received in the receiving groove 10, and the end of the shifting member 5 extends out of the housing 2. The front end of the power output disc 3 is provided with third external teeth 11 adapted to the internal teeth 8. The shifting member 5 can drive the internal and external gears 4 to move axially up and down. The motor 6 is arranged at the rear end of the housing 2, and the motor 6 is connected to the rear end of the power output disc 3 through the transmission device. In addition, a working rod is provided at the front end of the output shaft 1 for tightening and loosening screws; specifically, a magnet can be provided inside the front end of the output shaft 1 to facilitate the replacement of working rods of different models.

[0033] When the electric screwdriver is to be used, the internal and external gears 4 are driven by the shifting member 5 to move downward so that the internal teeth 8 of the internal and external gears 4 are simultaneously connected to the second external teeth 9 of the output shaft 1 and the third external teeth 11 of the power output disc 3; the motor 6 drives the power output disc 3 to rotate through the transmission device; further, the power output disc 3 drives the output shaft 1 to rotate through the internal and external gears 4.

[0034] When the electric screwdriver is in the process of transportation or in an idle state, the internal and external gears 4 are driven to move upward by the shifting member 5, so that the internal and external gears 4 are disengaged from the power output disk 3. That is, at this time, the internal and external gears 4 are only connected to the output shaft 1. That is, at this time, the power output disk 3 cannot output power to the output shaft 1, which can prevent the switch of the motor 6 from being accidentally touched and causing the output shaft 1 to rotate accidentally, avoiding damage to other objects, the output shaft 1 or the accidental operator, thereby improving the safety of the electric screwdriver.

[0035] Specifically, the shifting member 5 includes an arc-shaped member 12 and two extending members 13. The two extending members 13 are respectively arranged at both ends of the arc-shaped member 12. The arc-shaped member 12 is received in the receiving groove 10, and the extending member 13 extends out of the housing 2. By moving the extending member 13 upward or downward, the internal and external gears 4 can be driven to move. Preferably, the arc-shaped member 12 and the extending member 13 are integrally formed; the shifting member 5 is preferably a shifting wire.

[0036] Furthermore, the housing 2 is provided with a vertical sliding groove corresponding to the extending member 13 for the shifting member 5 to move axially up and down. Preferably, this embodiment further includes a shifting outer shell 14 arranged on the outer wall of the housing 2. The shifting outer shell 14 is provided with two oblique sliding grooves 15 corresponding to the two extending members 13. The outer ends of the extending members 13 are located in the oblique sliding grooves 15. The shifting outer shell 14 is also provided with a convex block 16. The oblique sliding groove 15 includes a first horizontal portion 17 at the upper end, a second horizontal portion 18 at the lower end, and an oblique portion 19 in the middle. When it is necessary to drive the internal and external gears 4 to move axially up and down, by pushing the convex block 16 of the shifting outer shell 14, the shifting member 5 can be driven to move up and down along the vertical sliding groove and the oblique sliding groove 15; it should be understood that the oblique sliding groove 15 of the shifting outer shell 14 can play a role in protecting the shifting member 5 to prevent the internal and external gears 4 from being accidentally operated.

[0037] In addition, the electric screwdriver may further include a pawl 20 and a left and right paddle 21. The pawl 20 is connected to the first external teeth 7 of the above-mentioned internal and external gears 4. The inner ends of the left and right paddles 21 are connected to the pawl 20. The outer ends of the left and right paddles 21 extend out of the housing 2. By operating the left and right paddles 21 to the left or right, through the cooperation of the pawl 20 and the internal and external gears 4, the output shaft 1 can be switched to output torque in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0038] Specifically, the transmission device includes a first gear 22. The motor 6 is connected to the rear end of the power output disk 3 through the first gear 22.

The second gear 23 is connected to the motor gear 28 of the motor 6.

[0039] The transmission process of the transmission device of the present embodiment is as follows: The motor gear 28 of the motor 6 drives the second gear 23 to rotate, that is, the rotation of the toothed disk 24 is realized; the third gear 26 of the toothed disk 24 further drives the first gear 22 to rotate, that is, the rotation of the power output disk 3 is realized. Preferably, the number of the first gears 22 and the second gears 23 is multiple. The first gears 22 and the second gears 23 may specifically adopt planetary gears.

[0040] In addition, a bearing 29 is provided on the output shaft 1. Specifically, a motor plate 30 may be provided at the rear end of the housing 2. The motor 6 is disposed on the motor plate 30.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an electric screwdriver, which has the following beneficial effects: The present invention is provided with internal and external gears and a shifting member that can play a clutch role. When the electric screwdriver is to be used, the internal and external gears are driven by the shifting member to move downward, so that the internal teeth of the internal and external gears are simultaneously connected to the second external teeth of the output shaft and the third external teeth of the power output disk, that is, the power output disk can output power to the output shaft to realize the rotation of the output shaft; when the electric screwdriver is in the transportation process or in the idle state, the internal and external gears are driven by the shifting member to move upward, so that the internal and external gears are disengaged from the connection with the power output disk and only connected to the output shaft, that is, at this time the power output disk cannot output power to the output shaft, which can prevent the accidental touch of the motor switch and cause the accidental rotation of the output shaft, avoid damage to the output shaft, other objects or the accidental operator, and improve the safety of the electric screwdriver.
