Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical tool technology, and in particular relates to a semi-automatic telescopic screwdriver. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional screwdrivers on the market require a hook and latch for hanging or unhooking, thus occupying at least one hand, which is very inconvenient for working at heights or in extreme conditions. A portable semi-automatic screw-tightening device, patent number CN202110698497.9, includes a fixed sleeve, a transmission mechanism, and a screw-tightening mechanism. A pressing rod is housed inside the fixed sleeve, a driven rod is located on one side of the fixed sleeve, and an electric screwdriver is located on the other side of the driven rod. The transmission mechanism is located between the fixed sleeve and the driven rod, and includes a transmission shaft, a linkage gear, and locking teeth. The transmission shaft is located inside the fixed sleeve, the linkage gear is fixedly sleeved on one side of the transmission shaft, and there are two sets of locking teeth. The screw-tightening mechanism is located on one side of the driven rod. The advantages of this invention are: by using the transmission mechanism design, pressing the pressing rod drives the transmission mechanism, which in turn drives the driven rod to move in the opposite direction. This allows the electric screwdriver to rise synchronously in the opposite direction, thus tightening the nut to the outside of the bolt. Furthermore, the operator can operate the device indoors by extending their arm out of a window. There is still a problem that requires one hand to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Figure 2 This is a diagram of a ratchet latch structure according to an embodiment of the present invention;
[0018] Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of a centralized control system according to one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the following detailed embodiments are described in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1-3 The present invention will be described in further detail below. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.
[0020] The present invention provides a semi-automatic control telescopic screwdriver, including a centralized control system and a screwdriver housing 12. The screwdriver housing 12 is provided with an assembly hole 8 that allows the screwdriver shank 11 to extend or retract. A limiting wheel 10 is fixedly installed on the screwdriver housing 12. The center of the limiting wheel 10 is provided with a limiting hole 9 concentrically arranged with the screwdriver shank 11. The screwdriver shank 11 passes through the limiting hole 9. The setting of the limiting wheel 10 can prevent the screwdriver shank 11 from shaking or deviating due to vibration during rotation.
[0021] The rear end of the screwdriver shank 11 is detachably mounted on the connecting seat of the rotary motor 14. The connecting seat includes a ratchet latch 13, which contains multiple rotating ratchet wheels 17. The rear end of the screwdriver shank 11 has a threaded groove. During installation, the screwdriver shank 11 is inserted into the center between the rotating ratchet wheels 17, and the screwdriver shank 11 is rotated to lock. During removal, the screwdriver shank 11 is rotated in the opposite direction, thereby causing the rotating ratchet wheels 17 to rotate in the opposite direction to loosen. The rotary motor 14 receives signals from the centralized control system and starts or stops according to instructions. The rotation of the rotary motor 14 drives the screwdriver shank mounted on the ratchet latch to rotate, thereby realizing the operation.
[0022] The rotary motor 14 is mounted on a sliding frame, which can slide laterally within the screwdriver housing 12. The rear end of the sliding frame is connected to the push rod motor 1. The sliding frame includes a fixed frame fixedly connected to the rotary motor 14 and a following carriage 3 connected to the fixed frame. The screwdriver housing 12 has a guide rail 6 corresponding to the following carriage 3. The following carriage 3 is fixed to the guide rail 6 by inwardly fastened wheels 5. Both the front and rear ends of the guide rail 6 are provided with limiting and buffering baffles 7, which serve to limit and buffer movement. The following carriage 3 is provided with a cable routing pulley 4, which carries a signal line and a power line connected to the rotary motor 14. The signal line and power line can extend synchronously with the following carriage 3 after the rotary motor 14 extends through the cable routing pulley 4. The ends of the signal line and power line are connected to a spring reel 2, which is a spring structure that can retract or extend the cable.
[0023] When the screwdriver shank 11 needs to be extended, the push rod motor pushes the fixing bracket to move the screwdriver shank within the screwdriver housing. The follower also moves along the guide rail, ensuring that the screwdriver shank's movement is always within the allowable stroke. This allows the screwdriver shank to extend from the screwdriver housing and also allows for adjustment of the extension length, improving its usability. When it needs to be stored, the push rod motor drives the fixing bracket to retract, thereby retracting the screwdriver shank.
[0024] The fixing frame includes two layers of clamping plates 15, and multiple buffer springs 16 are provided between the clamping plates 15 to provide a buffering effect.
[0025] The centralized control system includes a centralized control sleeve 18 corresponding to the arm and a centralized control plate 21 corresponding to the hand. The centralized control sleeve 18 and the centralized control plate 21 are connected by a dustproof pleat 22, within which a trigger device 20 is installed. The screwdriver housing 12 is mounted on the centralized control sleeve. A storage battery 19 is installed inside the centralized control sleeve 18. The control circuit, a microcontroller (STM) fixed in the centralized control sleeve, is capable of multiple encodings and its main functions are counting and sending action commands. The storage battery 19 is located at the rear end of the centralized control sleeve 18 and is removable for replacement and charging.
[0026] In the stationary state, the screwdriver bar is placed inside the cylinder of the moving part, and its bottom is locked by the ratchet. There is a limit wheel at the front. The rotating motor is stationary, the push rod motor extension rod is in a stationary retracted state, the following car is at the rear end of the guide rail, and it is against the rear limit plate. The rear end of the cable connecting the rotating motor is retracted into the cable reel.
[0027] In operation, upon receiving an extension command from the control circuit, the push rod motor activates, extending the telescopic rod and pushing the mounting bracket and rotary motor forward. The following vehicle slides forward on the guide rail, and the cable is pulled out of the cable reel, extending along with the following vehicle. The maximum length of the telescopic rod, which is also the maximum length of the following vehicle's guide rail, is the length from the ratchet latch to the limit wheel. Upon receiving a rotation command from the control circuit, the rotary motor activates, and the screwdriver begins to rotate under the limit wheel's control. Upon receiving a stop command from the control circuit, the rotary motor stops, and the screwdriver stops rotating. Upon receiving a retraction command from the control circuit, the push rod motor retracts the telescopic rod, and the mounting bracket and rotary motor return to their initial positions. The following vehicle also retracts synchronously to its initial position via the fixed connection, the cable is wound up by the cable reel, and the screwdriver shaft retracts into the reel.
[0028] This invention has a high degree of automation, which greatly frees up the hands of the staff, making it easy and quick for them to operate even in extreme situations.
