However, this tool only performs the function of an electric drill, and also suffers from the same functional limitation as other existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art and to provide a power tool with a reasonable structural design.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of the present invention to solve the above problems is: a power tool, characterized in that it comprises:

[0006] A housing having an internal space, and a gripping portion formed on the exterior of the housing;

[0007] A transmission unit is disposed within the housing;

[0008] An actuating unit includes a rotating component, a hammer, an elastic unit, and a connecting component. The rotating component has an axial cavity, at least a portion of the hammer is disposed within the cavity, one end of the connecting component is inserted into the cavity of the rotating component, and the elastic unit applies force to the hammer to maintain the hammer in a first position when no external force is applied. A transmission unit is connected to the rotating component to drive the rotating component to rotate.

[0009] A rotating unit is connected to the transmission unit and driven to rotate by the transmission unit. The rotating unit is provided with at least one striking block. The hammer has a second position in which the striking block can strike the hammer, and in the first position in which the striking block is away from the hammer.

[0010] In this embodiment of the invention, the connector is provided with a limiting surface, and after the connector is inserted into the cavity, the limiting surface matches the inner wall of the rotating member to restrict the rotation of the connector relative to the rotating member.

[0011] In this embodiment of the invention, the connecting member is detachably installed on the rotating member, and when the rotating member pushes against the hammer, the hammer can be positioned in a second position.

[0012] The connector described in this embodiment of the invention is provided with a limiting boss, which matches the end face of the rotating component.

[0013] The impact block described in this embodiment of the invention has an impact surface and an exit surface. The exit surface is located outside the impact surface and has an arc surface.

[0026] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more comprehensive description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described below. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the invention. Terms such as "axial direction," "above," and "below" used below are for clarity in indicating structural positional relationships and are not intended to limit the invention. In this invention, "vertical," "horizontal," and "parallel" are defined as including cases within ±10% of the standard definitions. For example, vertical typically refers to an angle of 90 degrees relative to a baseline, but in this invention, vertical refers to cases including those within 80 to 100 degrees.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 5 The power tool of this embodiment includes a housing 1, a transmission unit 2, an actuation unit 3, a rotation unit 4, and a battery pack 5.

[0028] In this embodiment, the housing 1 has an internal space, and a grip portion 101 is formed on the outside of the housing 1. A working end 102 is formed at one end of the grip portion 101, and the working end 102 is approximately perpendicular to the grip portion 101. The ratio of the length a of the working end 102 to the width b at the maximum point of the grip portion 101 does not exceed 2.5, 2, 1.7, 1.5, or 1.4. This controls the dimensions of the power tool along the working end 102 direction for easy storage and carrying. Furthermore, by controlling the length of the working end 102, its ease of use can be improved, and excessive torque after gripping can be avoided if the working end 102 is too long.

[0029] In this embodiment, the transmission unit 2 is disposed inside the housing 1.

[0030] The actuation unit 3 in this embodiment includes a rotating component 31, a hammer 32, an elastic unit 33, and a connecting component 34. The rotating component 31 has an axial cavity, at least a portion of the hammer 32 is disposed within the cavity, one end of the connecting component 34 is inserted into the cavity of the rotating component 31, and the elastic unit 33 applies force to the hammer 32, so that the hammer 32 remains in a first position when no external force is applied. The transmission unit 2 is connected to the rotating component 31 to drive the rotating component 31 to rotate. The elastic unit 33 can be a spring in the prior art, and its cooperation with the hammer 32 is prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0031] In this embodiment, the rotating unit 4 is connected to the transmission unit 2 and is driven to rotate by the transmission unit 2. The rotating unit 4 is provided with at least one striking block 41. The hammer 32 has a second position. In the second position, the striking block 41 can strike the hammer 32. In the first position, the striking block 41 is away from the hammer 32. That is to say, when the rotating unit 4 rotates, the striking block 41 cannot strike the hammer 32.

[0032] In this embodiment, the connector 34, after being inserted into the rotating member 31, can rotate with the rotating member 31 to achieve the drilling function. When the connector 34 pushes the hammer 32 to the second position, the striking block 41 strikes the hammer 32, thus achieving the hammer function. This allows for both drilling and hammering functions, enriching its functionality. When using the hammer function, one end of the connector 34 rests against the target object, while the other end pushes against the hammer 32. After the striking block 41 strikes, the hammer 32 performs a hammering action. Because the connector 34 rests against the target object and the other end rests against the hammer 32, the hammer will return to the second position, thus enabling continuous hammering.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connector 34 is provided with a limiting surface. After the connector 34 is inserted into the cavity, the limiting surface matches the inner wall of the rotating member 31 to restrict the rotation of the connector 34 relative to the rotating member 31. The outer surface of the end of the connector 34 is hexagonal (thereby forming the aforementioned limiting surface), and the inner wall of the mating point between the rotating member 31 and the connector 34 is also hexagonal. In some embodiments, when rotation of the connector 34 is not required, its outer surface can also be circular, so that the rotating member 31 does not drive the connector 34 to rotate.

[0034] In this embodiment, a magnet may be provided at the end of the hammer 32 to provide an attractive force to the connector 34 and prevent the connector 34 from falling off easily.

[0035] In this embodiment, the connector 34 is detachably installed on the rotating member 31. When the rotating member 31 pushes against the hammer 32, the hammer 32 can be positioned in the second position.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, a limiting boss 341 is provided on the connector 34. The limiting boss 341 matches the end face of the rotating member 31 to limit the insertion limit of the connector 34. This embodiment can provide various connectors 34. When the hammer function is required, the connector 34 is selected to have a longer insertion section (inserted into the cavity of the rotating member 41). This insertion section can push the hammer 32 to the second position. When only the drilling function is required, the connector 34 is selected to have a shorter insertion section. In this case, the connector 34 cannot push the hammer 32 to the second position, thereby achieving only the drilling function.

[0037] The striking block 41 described in this embodiment of the invention has an impact surface 411 and a retraction surface 412. The retraction surface 412 is located outside the impact surface 411 and has an arc surface to improve the smoothness of the strike.

[0038] In this embodiment, the striking blocks 41 are provided in three sets and are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the rotating unit 4. This improves the striking efficiency.

[0039] The transmission unit 2 described in this embodiment includes a motor 21 and a gear set, wherein the motor 21 and the gear set cooperate.

[0040] The gear set described in this embodiment includes a first gear 22, a second gear 23, and a third gear 24. The first gear 22 is driven by the motor 21. The first gear 22 meshes with the second gear 23. The second gear 23 is connected to the rotating unit 4. The third gear 24 meshes with the second gear 23. The third gear 24 drives the rotating component 31 to rotate (the rotating component 31 is provided with a gear that meshes with the third gear 24 to achieve transmission).

[0041] In this embodiment, the second gear 23 is a toothed disc.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connector 34 has a positioning groove 342 at its end, and a magnet 343 is provided at the bottom of the positioning groove 342. The positioning groove 342 is used to position the nail, preventing the nail from being driven crookedly due to inaccurate positioning. The magnet 343 can also fix the nail in place, making the operation more convenient.

[0043] This embodiment also includes a battery pack 5, which is disposed at the end of the housing 1. The battery pack 5 and the working end 102 are located at opposite ends of the grip portion 101 to balance the weight at both ends.

[0044] In this embodiment, a switch is provided on the gripping part 101 for starting and stopping the motor 21 or controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 21.

[0045] In this embodiment, a lighting unit 6 is provided at one end of the grip 101. The lighting unit 6 is tilted toward the working end 102 to provide lighting for convenient operation at night or in the absence of lighting.

[0046] The above description is merely illustrative of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not depart from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined by the claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this invention.
