Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric tool energy recovery, and in particular to a regenerative braking energy recovery system for electric tools. BACKGROUND

[0002] Electric tools are widely used in modern industrial production and household work, among which electric drill tools often face reverse load impact in the working conditions of loosening screws and disassembling fasteners. In such operations, the elastic potential energy stored by the connected part is suddenly released, causing the tool spindle (100) to produce violent reverse rotation. The traditional solution usually converts this part of mechanical energy into heat energy dissipation through friction braking, not only causing energy waste, but also accelerating the wear of the braking element. In addition, the traditional regenerative braking scheme has three major defects: large control delay (milliseconds), low power generation efficiency (<40%), and poor environmental adaptability.

[0003] In recent years, regenerative braking technology has emerged to recover energy through built-in motors in electric tools, but there are significant defects in actual application: first, there is a millisecond-level switching delay between the motor generation mode and the control circuit, making it difficult to capture transient reverse impact energy; second, conventional motor winding design focuses on driving performance, with an efficiency of less than 40% in power generation conditions; third, reverse current impact easily causes power device damage, reducing system reliability.

[0004] In addition, existing energy recovery systems perform poorly in harsh conditions such as dust and moisture. Insufficient sealing leads to dust intrusion into the precision transmission structure, and moisture corrosion causes circuit short circuits, severely restricting the application of electric tools in construction sites, field operations, and other scenarios. The design of the energy storage unit also has limitations, and there is a lack of intelligent coordination between supercapacitors and battery packs, with battery life rapidly declining under high-current impact.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the regenerative braking energy recovery system of the present invention comprises: a clutch 1, a high-speed generator 3, and a sealed protective housing 2 enclosing them, all coaxially assembled. The inner ring 11 of the clutch 1 is connected to the spindle 100 of the power tool, and its outer ring 12 is fixed to the housing 2 by an anti-torsion bracket. The rotor 31 of the high-speed generator 3 is directly connected to the rear end of the inner ring 11 through a flange 32. The axial length of the inner ring 11 is significantly greater than that of the outer ring 12. The flange 32 at its rear end extends out of the outer ring 12 and is rigidly connected to the rotor 31 of the high-speed generator 3 by bolts.

[0025] Example 1: Implementation of the mechanical structure of clutch 1 The core mechanical structure of the clutch of this invention and its connection relationship with the housing are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. The clutch 1 consists of an inner ring 11, an outer ring 12, and a ball assembly 6 located therebetween. The outer ring 12 is fixed to the aluminum alloy base 21 of the sealed protective housing 2 by a shear pin 52 on the anti-torsion bracket.

[0026] 1.1 Inner Ring 11 Processing 20CrMnTi alloy steel billet is selected and formed by CNC lathe. 4. External circumferential machining of bidirectional inclined raceway: Forward slope 41 and reverse slope 42 are alternately distributed circumferentially, with a phase difference of 90 degrees. Inclination angle 6.0° ± 0.1° (greater than the friction angle of steel, 5.7°) Surface carburizing and quenching treatment, hardness up to HRC62 Near the generator end, a limiting boss 111 is machined. The height of the limiting boss 111 is 0.5mm, and its axial distance from the inclined raceway is 2.0mm. The outer diameter of the limiting boss 111 is 0.5mm smaller than the root diameter of the ramp raceway. 1.2 Outer Ring 12 Assembly The inner circumference is machined with a mirror-symmetric inclined raceway, with a distance of 3.0 mm from the annular limiting groove 121. Implementation of anti-torsion bracing: Three sets of earpieces 51 are welded to the outer ring 12 at 120° evenly distributed. 30CrMnSiA quenched steel shear pin 52 interference fit (tolerance 0.01mm) Limiting shear strength 800 MPa 1.3 Assembly of ball assembly 6 Step 1: Install wave spring 63 into outer ring 12 annular limiting groove 121; Step 2: Place phosphor bronze retainer 62 (12 ball pockets 621, hole diameter tolerance ±0.003 mm), as shown, the phosphor bronze retainer 62 is an annular member, which is precisely machined with 12 ball pockets 621 for accommodating silicon nitride ceramic balls 61. The central axis of each ball pocket 621 coincides with the normal axis of the bidirectional slope raceway 4 to ensure uniform stress on the balls 61; Figure 3 Step 3: Place 12 silicon nitride ceramic balls 61 (diameter tolerance ±0.005 mm) one by one into the 12 ball pockets 621 of the retainer (diameter tolerance ±0.005 mm) Step 4: Pre-press test (no displacement of balls under 50-80 N pressure) Step 5: Press 65Mn spring steel radial elastic clip spring 64 into retainer annular clamping groove 622 (elastic clip spring 64 wire diameter 0.8 mm, initial pre-tightening force 15 N). Limiting boss 111 and phosphor bronze retainer 62 axial gap 0.1 mm, as shown, the outer circumferential surface of the phosphor bronze retainer 62 is machined with an annular clamping groove 622. After the radial elastic clip spring 64 is pressed into the annular clamping groove 622, the outer diameter of the elastic clip spring 64 in the natural state is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the phosphor bronze retainer 62, so that it forms a slight interference or slight gap fit with the inner wall of the outer ring 12, thereby achieving radial limiting.
