[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the reaction force balancing device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The reaction force balancing device is used to assist handheld power tools (such as handheld electric screwdrivers, handheld drilling machines, etc.) in mechanical operation. The handheld power tools can be mounted on the reaction force balancing device, so that the reaction force balancing device can bear the weight of the handheld power tools and the torque during operation.

[0029] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, the reaction force balancing device in this embodiment includes a vertical support assembly 10, a horizontal support assembly 20, an angle sensor 31, a first pull wire sensor 32, a second pull wire sensor 33, and a control unit (not shown in the figure). The main body of the vertical support assembly 10 is made of a rigid material (e.g., metal or hard polymer material) and is vertically arranged (e.g., fixed to the operating platform or hung above the operating platform). The horizontal support assembly 20 is mounted on the vertical support assembly 10, and the main body of the horizontal support assembly 20 is also made of a rigid material (e.g., metal or hard polymer material) and is arranged horizontally. That is, the horizontal support assembly 20 and the vertical support assembly 10 are assembled together in a vertically intersecting manner. The handheld power tool 60 is fixed on the horizontal support assembly 20. That is, the bracket composed of the vertical support assembly 10 and the horizontal support assembly 20 provides support for the handheld power tool 60, and the movement of the handheld power tool 60 on the cylindrical surface is realized by the movement of the horizontal support assembly 20 relative to the vertical support assembly 10.

[0030] The aforementioned horizontal support assembly 20 includes a first slider 21, a horizontal support arm 22, and a sliding rod 23. The horizontal support arm 22 may be a strip-shaped plate, and it is mounted to the vertical support assembly 10 via the first slider 21. The horizontal support arm 22 slides along the length direction (i.e., vertically) of the vertical support assembly 10 and rotates around it via the first slider 21. In other words, the first slider 21 is mounted on the vertical support assembly 10 and can move axially relative to and rotate around the vertical support assembly 10. The horizontal support arm 22 is fixed to the first slider 21 and follows the first slider 21 in vertical linear movement or horizontal rotational movement, remaining horizontal during the movement. Specifically, the horizontal support arm 22 may have multiple sets of mounting holes, and it can be fixed to the first slider 21 through any set of mounting holes, thereby allowing adjustment of the specific mounting position according to the weight and type of the handheld power tool 60.

[0031] The handheld power tool 60 is mounted on the horizontal support arm 22 via a slide bar 23, and slides along the length (i.e., horizontally) of the horizontal support arm 22 via the slide bar 23. In other words, the slide bar 23 is mounted on the horizontal support arm 22 and can slide horizontally relative to it. The handheld power tool 60 is directly or indirectly fixed to the slide bar 23, so that when the slide bar 23 moves horizontally relative to the horizontal support arm 22, the handheld power tool 60 also moves horizontally along with the slide bar 23. In this way, the user (the operator of the handheld power tool) can move the handheld power tool 60 in three-dimensional space, and during the movement, the support frame composed of the vertical support component 10 and the horizontal support component 20 always provides support for the handheld power tool 60, ensuring that the user can easily operate the handheld power tool 60.

[0032] An angle sensor 31 is mounted on the vertical support assembly 10 and generates a first detection signal based on the angle of rotation of the horizontal support arm 22 around the vertical support assembly 10. A first pull-wire sensor 32 is mounted on the vertical support assembly 10 and generates a second detection signal based on the distance the horizontal support arm 22 slides along the length of the vertical support assembly 10. A second pull-wire sensor 33 is mounted on the horizontal support arm 22 and generates a third detection signal based on the distance the handheld power tool 60 slides along the length of the horizontal support arm 22. That is, as the handheld power tool 60 is moved in three-dimensional space by the user, the angle sensor 31, the first pull-wire sensor 32, and the second pull-wire sensor 33 generate corresponding detection signals in real time. The angle sensor 31 can be an existing angle detection device, such as an encoder; the first pull-wire sensor 32 and the second pull-wire sensor 33 can both adopt conventional structures in the art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The control unit can be a personal computer, industrial computer, or similar computing device with data processing capabilities. This control unit is connected to the angle sensor 31, the first draw wire sensor 32, the second draw wire sensor 33, and the handheld power tool 60 via signal lines or wireless communication. It calculates the real-time position of the handheld power tool 60 based on the first detection signal generated by the angle sensor 31, the second detection signal generated by the first draw wire sensor 32, and the third detection signal generated by the second draw wire sensor 33. When the handheld power tool 60 reaches a preset position, the control unit sends an enable signal to it. The handheld power tool 60 can only start operating upon receiving this enable signal; it cannot start if it does not receive the enable signal from the control unit. In practical applications, the real-time position generated by the control unit may deviate slightly from the preset position to avoid inoperability due to workpiece position errors.

[0034] The aforementioned reaction force balancing device generates detection signals through angle sensor 31, first pull-wire sensor 32, and second pull-wire sensor 33. The control unit then generates the real-time position of the handheld power tool 60 based on these signals and generates an enable signal when the handheld power tool 60 reaches a preset position. The handheld power tool 60 cannot start operation if it has not reached the preset position, thus controlling the operation of the handheld power tool. Furthermore, the first pull-wire sensor 32 and second pull-wire sensor 33 themselves have relatively low precision and are not easily damaged during frequent operation, making them particularly suitable for positioning handheld power tools 60 where precision requirements are relatively low.

[0035] Specifically, the control unit has a memory where preset positions are pre-input and stored. Furthermore, the memory can store multiple preset positions arranged in a preset order. The control unit sequentially reads these preset positions, and after completing the operation at the current preset position, it reads the next preset position to perform the next operation. In this way, the user can only use the handheld power tool 60 to operate on each point of the workpiece in a preset order, and cannot skip any preset positions, effectively preventing missed operations at certain points.

[0036] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the vertical support assembly 10 includes a main support shaft 11, a secondary support shaft 12, a bearing 13, and a connecting block 14. Both the main support shaft 11 and the secondary support shaft 12 are cylindrical and vertically arranged. The connecting block 14 is mounted on the main support shaft 11 via the bearing 13. Specifically, the bearing 13 can be a common rotary bearing, with its inner ring fitted onto the main support shaft 11 and its outer ring fixed to the connecting block 14, allowing the connecting block 14 to rotate relative to the main support shaft 11. The secondary support shaft 12 is fixed to the connecting block 14 in a manner parallel to the main support shaft 11, meaning the secondary support shaft 12 can rotate with the connecting block 14 relative to the main support shaft 11.

[0037] The angle sensor 31 includes a main body 311 and a rotating shaft 312. The main body 311 is fixed to the connecting block 14, while the rotating shaft 312 is fixedly connected to the main support shaft 11. That is, when the connecting block 14 rotates relative to the main support shaft 11, the main body 311 of the angle sensor 31 rotates accordingly, while the rotating shaft 312 remains stationary. Thus, the main body 311 of the angle sensor 31 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 312, thereby generating a corresponding first detection signal. Specifically, the rotating shaft 312 can be connected via a coupling 16. The outer wall of the coupling 16 is tightly fitted with the inner ring of the bearing 13. The rotating shaft 312 is fixed to the first end of the coupling 16, and the tail end of the coupling 16 passes through the inner ring of the bearing 13 and is fixed to the main support shaft 11. The horizontal support arm 22 is mounted on the main support shaft 11 via the first slider 21. When it rotates around the main support shaft 11, it drives the secondary support shaft 12 and the connecting block 14 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the main body 311 of the angle sensor 31 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 312, and causing the angle sensor 31 to generate a corresponding first detection signal.

[0038] The above structure can provide vertical support while enabling the angle sensor 31 to generate a corresponding first detection signal.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first slider 21 has a plurality of coaxial first linear bearings (not shown in the figure), each first linear bearing including a first vertical shaft hole, and the main support shaft 11 passing through the first vertical shaft hole of the first linear bearing. The horizontal support assembly 20 also includes a second slider 25, which is fixed to the side of the first slider 21, and has at least one second linear bearing (not shown in the figure) inside the second slider 25. The second linear bearing has a second vertical shaft hole, and the secondary support shaft 12 passes through the second shaft hole of the second linear bearing. Thus, when the first slider 21 moves axially along the main support shaft 11, the second slider 25 moves axially along the secondary support shaft 12; when the first slider 21 rotates about the axis of the main support shaft 11, the second slider 25 drives the secondary support shaft 12 to rotate also about the axis of the main support shaft 11, thereby driving the connecting block 14 and the main body 311 of the angle sensor 31 to rotate, and causing the angle sensor 31 to generate a corresponding first detection signal.

[0040] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the first pull-wire sensor 32 is fixed to the connecting block 14, and the cable 321 of the first pull-wire sensor 32 is fixed to the first slider 21. Thus, when the first slider 21 moves axially along the main support shaft 11, the portion of the cable 321 extending outside its housing changes accordingly, thereby generating a corresponding second detection signal from the first pull-wire sensor 32. Furthermore, the first pull-wire sensor 32 contains an elastic element (e.g., a torsion spring). After the first slider 21 moves axially, the first pull-wire sensor 32 can use the internal elastic element to pull its cable 321 to assist the first slider 21 in resetting. This structure not only allows the horizontal support assembly 20 to move smoothly relative to the vertical support assembly 10, but also facilitates the generation of the second detection signal by the first pull-wire sensor 32, and simultaneously facilitates the vertical resetting of the horizontal support assembly 20 (reducing the force required by the user when vertically resetting the handheld power tool 60).

[0041] In addition, the vertical connection assembly 10 may also include a protective cover 15, which covers the angle sensor 31 and the first pull wire sensor 32 to provide protection for the angle sensor 31 and the first pull wire sensor 32.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, two limiting portions 111 are provided on the main support shaft 11. The two limiting portions 111 are distributed along the axial direction of the main support shaft 11, and the first slider 21 is located between the two limiting portions 111 on the main support shaft 11. By means of the limiting portions 111, the sliding distance of the first slider 21 along the axial direction of the main support shaft 11 can be avoided from being too large, thereby avoiding excessive vertical movement of the handheld power tool 60, for example, avoiding impact on other tools at the workstation.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction force balancing device further includes a base 40, in which a control unit is installed, and the bottom of the main support shaft 11 is fixed to the base 40. Furthermore, the vertical support assembly 10 includes two bearings 13 and two connecting blocks 14. One connecting block 14 is mounted to the top of the main support shaft 11 via one bearing 13, and the other connecting block 14 is mounted to the bottom of the main support shaft 11 via the other bearing 13. The two ends of the secondary support shaft 12 are respectively fixed to the two connecting blocks 14. This structure improves the rotational stability of the secondary support shaft 12, thereby improving the accuracy of the first detection signal from the angle sensor 31.

[0044] like Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal support arm 22 includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall facing away from each other (both the first sidewall and the second sidewall are parallel to the vertical direction), and the horizontal support arm 22 is fixed to the first slider 21 such that the first sidewall is attached to the first slider 21 (the surface of the first slider 21 that is attached to the first sidewall and the surface of the first slider 21 that is attached to the second slider 25 are adjacent). A fixing box 24 is also installed on the first sidewall of the horizontal support arm 22, and the fixing box 24 has a horizontal through hole 241. A slide rod 23 is installed on the fixing box 24 and passes through the horizontal through hole 241. A handheld power tool 60 is fixed to one end of the slide rod 23. That is, the slide rod 23 slides along the horizontal through hole 241 of the fixing box 24, causing the handheld power tool 60 to move along the length direction of the horizontal support arm 22. The second pull-wire sensor 33 is fixed to the second side wall of the horizontal support arm 22, and its cable is directly or indirectly connected to the handheld power tool 60. Thus, when the slide bar 23 slides relative to the horizontal support arm 22, the handheld power tool 60 also moves relative to the horizontal support arm 22, causing a corresponding change in the length of the cable extending beyond its main housing. This results in the second pull-wire sensor 33 generating a corresponding third detection signal. Simultaneously, the second pull-wire sensor 33 contains an elastic element. After the cable of the second pull-wire sensor 33 is pulled out into the main housing, the elastic element pulls the handheld power tool 60 to assist in its reset (reducing the force required by the user to reset the handheld power tool 60 horizontally).

[0045] Furthermore, the aforementioned fixing box 24 includes two horizontal through holes 241 whose center lines are located in a vertical plane, and at least one third linear bearing 242 is fixed in each horizontal through hole 241. Each third linear bearing 242 includes a horizontal shaft hole. Correspondingly, the slide bar 23 includes two horizontal bars, which pass through the horizontal shaft holes of the third linear bearings 242 in the two horizontal through holes 241, and the two ends of the two horizontal bars are connected by vertical connecting rods 232. The handheld power tool 60 is fixed to one of the vertical connecting rods 232. With the above structure, the handheld power tool 60 can slide more smoothly along the length direction of the horizontal support arm 22.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, a receiving cavity is formed between the two horizontal through holes 241 of the fixing box 24, and a pulley assembly 26 is installed in the receiving cavity. The cable of the second pull-wire sensor 33 passes through the pulley assembly 26 and is fixed to the vertical connecting rod 232 on which the handheld power tool 60 is fixed, that is, the cable of the second pull-wire sensor 33 is located between the two horizontal rods. The pulley assembly 26 can change the direction of force applied to the cable, thereby enabling the detection of the movement of the handheld power tool 60 relative to the horizontal support arm 22 in a relatively compact space. Furthermore, since the cable of the second pull-wire sensor 33 is located between the two horizontal rods, the horizontal movement of the handheld power tool 60 is more stable, reducing the probability of vertical swaying.

[0047] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the reaction force balancing device includes a spring-loaded trolley 50, which is fixed to the connecting block 14 of the vertical support assembly 10, and the pull rope of the spring-loaded trolley 50 is connected to the first slider 21 or the horizontal support arm 22. Through the cooperation of the spring-loaded trolley 50 and the first pull-wire sensor 31, the horizontal support assembly 20 can be stopped at any working angle, preventing it from swaying and eliminating safety accidents caused by swaying, thus enhancing the safety of the entire device. The spring-loaded trolley 50 can adopt a conventional structure in the art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the handheld power tool 60 is a handheld electric screwdriver. The reaction force balancing device includes a display and an input device, which are respectively connected to a control unit. The control unit creates one or more preset positions based on the input from the input device. The control unit can also graphically display the preset positions, the current preset position, and the real-time position of the handheld power tool obtained from calculations on the display.

[0049] In practical applications, the control unit can also record relevant parameters of the handheld power tool 60 during operation, thereby facilitating management and monitoring and enabling traceability.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
