Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical parts assembly tools, and in particular to an electric torque wrench. Background Art

[0002] We cannot live without tools such as pliers, wrenches and screwdrivers, and the emergence of power tools has greatly improved the convenience of life and work. Power tools can not only improve efficiency, but also achieve different locking forces by adjusting torque, and through standardized and replaceable bits, the application range of power tools is wider. At present, the most commonly used power tools on the market are electric screwdrivers. This tool can adapt to screws of different shapes and sizes by replacing the bit. When facing some square head, hexagon head and other screws, there are also corresponding socket-type bits that can be adapted for use.

[0003] However, existing electric screwdrivers can only operate in the axial direction of the fastener, which means that to unscrew a screw, sufficient operating space must be left directly above the screw. Although this type of problem can be avoided by reserving sufficient operating space when designing the product; however, when repairing some old and outdated equipment, or other products with unreasonable designs, there is still a situation where the operating space is limited and the electric screwdriver cannot be used. When this unavoidable situation occurs, it can only be operated radially with a manual wrench. In addition, the structure of the sleeve nut is a structure in which a tubular part passes through the nut in the axial direction. Due to the particularity of its design, electric tools cannot be adapted, and the nut can only be turned radially with a manual wrench. Therefore, designing an electric tool that can operate in the radial direction can further improve the installation efficiency of threaded accessories.

[0056] First embodiment

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides an electric torque wrench 10, including a housing 100, wherein a cavity is formed inside the housing 100, and a functional unit 200 and a control unit 300 are disposed in the cavity, wherein the axis of the control unit 300 is perpendicular to the plane where the functional unit 200 is located.

[0058] For example, if the plane where the functional unit 200 is located is a horizontal plane, the control unit 300 is arranged in a vertical direction, and the electric torque wrench 10 is in an overall L-shaped shape. Therefore, when the electric torque wrench 10 is in a working state, the functional unit 200 fits the threaded fitting to be screwed, and the operator can install the threaded fitting by holding the housing 100 on the surface of the control unit 300.

[0059] The functional unit 200 includes a functional component and a reset component. The functional component is used to implement the installation and removal process of the threaded accessories, and the reset component is used to reset the functional component.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3The functional components include a first positioning plate 210, a second positioning plate 220 and a gear set 230. The gear set 230 is located between the first positioning plate 210 and the second positioning plate 220, and is spaced apart from the plate surfaces of the first positioning plate 210 and the second positioning plate 220 so that the gears of the gear set 230 can rotate smoothly and avoid friction between the gear set 230 and the first positioning plate 210 and the second positioning plate 220; the first positioning plate 210 and the second positioning plate 220 are matched and fixed to position and protect the gear set 230.

[0061] The gear set 230 includes a driving gear 231, an auxiliary gear 232 and a functional gear 233. There are at least two auxiliary gears 232. In the present embodiment, there are two auxiliary gears 232. Each auxiliary gear 232 is meshed with the driving gear 231 and the functional gear 233. The two auxiliary gears 232 are symmetrically spaced so that the driving gear 231 drives the auxiliary gear 232 to rotate, and the auxiliary gear 232 drives the functional gear 233 to rotate.

[0062] Since the driving gear 231 and the functional gear 233 are transmitted in two stages, the driving gear 231 and the functional gear 233 rotate in the same direction.

[0063] The gear surface of the functional gear 233 is provided with a functional opening 2331, and the functional opening 2331 is configured to install the clip 410. Figure 3 As shown, the function opening 2331 is recessed toward the center of the function gear 233 , and the buckle 410 is installed in cooperation with the side surface of the function opening 2331 , so that the buckle 410 is located in the function opening 2331 after installation.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The reset assembly includes a reset member 240, a pushing member 250 and an elastic member 260. The reset member 240 includes a guide portion 241 and a pushing portion 242. The pushing member 250 is connected to the pushing portion 242 after being guided by the guide portion 241. The elastic member 260 is sleeved on the pushing member 250 and is limited between the pushing portion 242 and the limiting portion 251 by a limiting portion 251 provided on the pushing member 250. One end of the pushing member 250 away from the reset member 240 extends out of the housing 100.

[0065] Since one end of the pushing member 250 away from the reset member 240 extends out of the housing 100, and the pushing member 250 is connected to the pushing portion 242 of the reset member 240, when the pushing member 250 is pushed, the reset member 240 will also rotate synchronously. When the force pushing the pushing member 250 disappears, the pushing member 250 and the reset member 240 can be reset due to the setting of the elastic member 260.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 An indicating boss 2311 is provided on the driving gear 231, and a reset through hole 211 penetrating the upper and lower surfaces of the first positioning plate 210 is opened corresponding to the indicating boss 2311, and the indicating boss 2311 passes through the reset through hole 211. The control unit 300 includes a motor 310, and the indicating boss 2311, the reset through hole 211 and the motor 310 form a cam mechanism. The reset member 240 is provided on the surface of the first positioning plate 210 and can selectively contact the indicating boss 2311.

[0067] In this embodiment, the guide portion 241 of the reset member 240 is two guide posts, and the push member 250 is located in a groove formed between the two guide posts to control the movement direction of the push member 250 .

[0068] Please refer to Figure 5 A second opening groove 212 is also provided on the first positioning plate 210, and the second opening groove 212 is provided corresponding to the pushing member 250. The pushing member 250 is located at the second opening groove 212, which facilitates the rapid pushing of the pushing member 250 and prevents friction between the pushing member 250 and the first positioning plate 210.

[0069] The second opening slot 212 is provided with a mounting portion 213 protruding in a direction away from the gear set 230 at one end thereof close to the functional opening 2331. The pushing portion 242 and the guiding portion 241 of the reset member 240 are respectively located on both sides of the mounting portion 213. Two guiding posts extend in a direction away from the mounting portion 213 along both sides of the second opening slot 212 of the mounting portion 213. The mounting portion 213 is provided with a through hole 2131, and the pushing member 250 passes through the through hole 2131 and is connected to the pushing portion 242 of the reset member 240.

[0070] In this embodiment, the pushing member 250 is threadedly connected to the pushing portion 242 of the restoring member 240 .

[0071] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the motor 310 includes a motor body 310 and a motor shaft 311. A key 312 and a key slot 313 are provided at one end of the motor shaft 311 away from the motor body 310. The driving gear 231 and the motor 310 are connected by the indicating boss 2311 and the key 312 and the key slot 313. When the motor 310 is working, the kinetic energy is transferred to the indicating boss 2311 through the key 312 and the key slot 313. Since the indicating boss 2311 and the reset through hole 211 form a cam mechanism, the motor 310 drives the indicating boss 2311 to rotate in the area within the reset through hole 211, so that the driving gear 231 can rotate around the motor shaft 311.

[0072] When resetting is required, since the resetting member 240 is arranged on the surface of the first positioning plate 210 and can selectively contact the indicating boss 2311, when the pushing member 250 is pushed, the resetting member 240 rotates synchronously until it contacts the indicating boss 2311; then the pushing member 250 is further pushed to make the indicating boss 2311 rotate in the area where the resetting through hole 211 is located, the rotation of the indicating boss 2311 drives the active gear 231 to rotate, the active gear 231 drives the auxiliary gear 232 to rotate, and the auxiliary gear 232 drives the functional gear 233 to rotate, and finally the functional gear 233 is reset.

[0073] In this structure, since the functional unit 200 is only provided with a gear set 230, a first positioning plate 210 and a second positioning plate 220, and the functional opening 2331 on the functional gear 233 in the gear set 230 cooperates with the fastener 410 to realize the installation of the threaded accessories, the overall height of the functional unit 200 is relatively small. At the same time, the control unit 300 is located in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the functional unit 200 is located. Therefore, when installing the threaded accessories, there is no need to reserve the installation operation space in advance, and the threaded accessories can be installed in a variety of situations.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, a support platform 221 protruding toward the gear set 230 is provided on the second positioning plate 220, and the interior of the support platform 221 is a hollow channel 222. The key 312 and the keyway 313 of the motor 310 are connected to the indicating boss 2311 of the driving gear 231 through the channel 222 inside the support platform 221. The support platform 221 contacts the driving gear 231, so that the second positioning plate 220 and the gear set 230 are spaced apart to ensure that the driving gear 231 can rotate stably.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the key 312 and the keyway 313 on the motor shaft 311, a convex hole 2312 is provided on the indicating boss 2311, and the motor 310 is connected to the indicating boss 2311 through the convex hole 2312 and is configured to drive the indicating boss 2311 to rotate.

[0076] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the accuracy of the reset, the indicating boss 2311 is in a teardrop shape, the reset through hole 211 is circular, and the pusher 242 of the reset member 240 pushes the indicating boss 2311 to rotate in the reset through hole 211. By setting the teardrop-shaped indicating boss 2311, the tip of the teardrop shape can be used to indicate the direction, and the bottom arc surface of the teardrop shape facilitates the pushing of the reset member 240. In addition, the above-mentioned shape design of the indicating boss 2311 and the reset through hole 211 can also enable the pusher 250 to be directly pushed to the bottom to realize the reset of the functional gear 233, and the reset process is convenient and quick.

[0077] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate pushing the indicating boss 2311 and prevent the indicating boss 2311 from getting stuck and unable to be pushed during the pushing process, an arc-shaped protrusion 2421 is provided at the end of the pushing portion 242 away from the guide portion 241. The protrusion angle of the arc-shaped protrusion 2421 cooperates with the shape of the indicating boss 2311, so as to guide the rotation process of the indicating boss 2311 in the reset through hole 211.

[0078] In this embodiment, the transmission ratio of the driving gear 231 to the functional gear 233 is 1:1. In other embodiments, the transmission ratio of the functional gear 233 may also be an integer multiple of the transmission ratio of the driving gear 231 .

[0079] In this embodiment, since the driving gear 231 and the functional gear 233 have the same rotation direction, when the transmission ratio of the driving gear 231 and the functional gear 233 is 1:1, the rotation process of the driving gear 231 and the functional gear 233 is completely consistent. In order to facilitate the indication of the position of the functional opening 2331 on the functional gear 233, an indication mark 2313 is further provided on the indication boss 2311 of the driving gear 231. The indication direction of the indication mark 2313 is the same as the direction of the functional opening 2331. The direction of the functional opening 2331 can be confirmed by observing the indication mark 2313.

[0080] In this embodiment, the indicator mark 2313 is an arrow, and the direction indicated by the arrow is the tip of the teardrop-shaped indicator boss 2311; in other embodiments, the indicator mark 2313 may also be other symbols or marks, such as a triangle or a diamond.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, a slot 2332 is provided on the function opening 2331 of the function gear 233, and a flange 430 is provided on the buckle 410.
