Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a drill chuck, in particular to a locking drill chuck. Background Art

[0002] The locking drill chuck is provided with a drill body, a clamping jaw, a nut, and a rotating sleeve. The nut and the clamping jaw are threadedly connected, and the rotating sleeve and the nut are connected directly or through a connecting structure. The rotating sleeve is operated by hand, and the nut is rotated to drive the clamping jaw to move forward or backward to clamp or loosen the drill bit. Some drill chucks are also provided with a locking structure, which generally includes a gear ring fixed to the surface of the drill body and a spring plate connected to the nut. The spring plate is located radially outside the gear ring and enters a locked state under the control of the rotating sleeve.

[0003] With the development of lithium battery technology, the speed of electric drills is getting faster and faster. When drilling, the electric drill will generate inertia instantly when it stops from high speed. The drill chuck will loosen due to the emergency stop of the electric drill. The rotating sleeve will unlock due to inertia, causing the nut to rotate in the direction of opening the drill chuck jaws due to inertia, causing the drill bit to loosen. Even if a locking structure is set, the locking state of the drill chuck may fail under the current lithium battery technology. Utility Model Content

The nut 3 and the clamping jaw 2 are threadedly connected. The rotating sleeve includes an outer sleeve 41 and a bushing 42 fixed to the outer sleeve 41 and arranged in a setting configuration. The bushing 42 in the rotating sleeve is connected to the nut 3 through a connecting structure and can drive the nut 3 to rotate. The nut 3 is sleeved outside the drill body 1 and supported on a step 11 in the middle of the drill body.

[0029] The locking drill chuck is provided with a locking structure, which includes a locking member 5 and a positioned inner gear ring 6. The locking member 5 is connected to the nut 3 and rotates synchronously with the nut 3 around the central axis of the drill body 1. The locking member 5 is provided with a spring 51, and the spring 51 has a locking end 52 that is tilted outward. The inner gear ring 6 includes a first ring-shaped base 60, and the first ring-shaped base 60 is provided with an inner tooth piece 61 that can be elastically deformed radially outward and pressed and matched with the rotating sleeve, and the inner tooth piece 61 is provided with an inner ratchet facing radially inward. 611, the inner ratchet 611 cooperates with the locking end 52, the bushing 42 in the rotating sleeve 41-42 is provided with a structure for controlling the locking end 52, so that the locking end 52 leaves the inner ratchet 611 or is inserted into the inner ratchet 611, the drill chuck is provided with an extrusion hook between the nut 3 and the step 11, the reverse thrust causes the nut 3 to move backward, the inner gear ring 6 bends backward and radially outward (obliquely backward and outward), and pushes and squeezes the inner tooth piece 61 to elastically deform and open radially outward, and is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the rotating sleeve ( Figure 7 Because the two are in a squeezed state, Figure 2 When the nut 3 and the rotating sleeve 42 are not in the working state, the inner tooth piece 61 rebounds and the two are disengaged, thereby being constrained to enhance the overall locking force of the drill chuck and prevent the nut 3 and the rotating sleeve 42 from loosening by themselves.

[0030] A transfer groove 31 may be provided on the nut 3, and the groove walls 32 on both sides of the transfer groove may cooperate with the keys on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve (the bushing 42 in the rotating sleeve in this embodiment), so that the rotating sleeve 42 and the nut 3 are connected during the tightening process in the locked state and the loosening process after unlocking.

[0031] Regarding the inner gear ring 6 , a circle of inner gear pieces 61 is disposed on the first ring-shaped base body 60 , and gaps 62 are disposed in the inner gear pieces 61 so that the inner gear pieces 61 have elasticity and can undergo the elastic deformation.

[0032] The first ring-shaped base 60 of the inner gear ring 6 is placed on the step 11, and the inner gear ring 6 is pressed on the drill body 1 by the parts in front of it and is axially positioned, and the first ring-shaped base 60 of the inner gear ring 6 has a radially outer hollow portion 63, and the inner tooth piece 61 is bent and arranged at the outer edge of the hollow portion 63, which can reduce the diameter of the drill body 1 and increase the elastic deformation effect.

[0033] The locking member 5 includes a second annular base 50, which is located between the first annular base 60 of the inner gear ring 6 and the rear end of the nut 3. The second annular base 50 of the locking member 5 and the inner gear ring 6 together form an annular bearing steel ball cavity, in which a bearing steel ball 7 is arranged. The second annular base 50 has an action surface 501 facing backward and radially outward, and when working, the bearing steel ball 7 is squeezed radially outward and the inner gear plate 61 is elastically deformed radially outward.

[0034] The inner gear ring 6 is positioned so as not to rotate relative to the drill body 1. A plurality of arc grooves 12 are formed on the drill body 1 by axially punching holes at its edge. The first ring-shaped base 60 of the inner gear ring 6 is a sheet-shaped ring body, and during punching and manufacturing, an arc protrusion 65 is formed around the inner hole to cooperate with the arc groove 12 to form a circumferential cooperation to prevent relative rotation. Whether manufacturing the groove 12 or manufacturing and installing the inner gear ring 6, it is very convenient.

[0035] For the lock 5, multiple groups of lock structures are arranged on its second ring-shaped base 50, each group of structures includes the spring sheet 51 and the outward control protrusion 53 connected to the spring sheet 51, the end of the spring sheet 51 is the lock end 52 that tilts outward (that is, in the direction away from the center of the circle), and the inner wall of the rotating sleeve (the bushing 42 in the rotating sleeve in this embodiment) is provided with a cam surface that controls and cooperates with the outward control protrusion 53, so that the lock end 52 leaves the inner ratchet 611 or inserts into the inner ratchet 611. The lock 5 is also provided with an outward connection protrusion 54 that is integrated with the lock sheet, and the rotating sleeve (the bushing 42 in the rotating sleeve in this embodiment) is provided with a connection groove that cooperates with the outward connection protrusion. The connection between the lock 5 and the nut 3 can be achieved by using the key 55 on the lock 5 to cooperate with the groove 33 on the nut 3.

[0036] The nut 3 is an integral nut, and the collar 8 is arranged at the front end of the nut 3. The collar 8 includes an integral and continuous pressure ring body 81 and a plurality of elastic clips 82 located in a circle around the inner hole of the pressure ring body 81. The drill body 1 is provided with an annular groove 13 that cooperates with the elastic clips. The collar 8 includes a pressure ring body to axially limit the nut 3. For the structure using an integral nut, the axial limit of the nut usually adopts a connection method of interference fit between the rotating sleeve and the nut, which usually causes the nut to loosen in a high impact and vibration environment, resulting in the loss of claws and overall functional failure. The use of the collar 8 structure of the utility model is not only convenient for assembly but also reliable for the axial limit of the integral nut, preventing the nut 3 from loosening and ensuring high output of the backward extrusion force, and ensuring the combination performance of the inner tooth piece 61 and the spring piece 51.

In this embodiment, the outer side surface of the inner tooth plate 61 is provided with outer ratchet teeth 64 in the opposite direction to the inner ratchet teeth 611 of the inner gear ring 6, and the inner wall of the rotating sleeve (the sleeve 42 of the rotating sleeve in this embodiment) is provided with second inner ratchet teeth 43 that can mesh with the outer ratchet teeth 64 of the inner tooth plate 61. With this embodiment, when the drill chuck rotates, the rotating sleeve can be further combined into the meshing system, so that the self-locking effect is better and the spring sheet 51 can be protected. The other parts and other structures of this embodiment are also the same as those of the first embodiment.
