[0027] The reduction gearbox oil leakage prevention device is configured to block the movable hole 14 on the gear box 11 by setting a sealing member 17 between the housing 2 and the gear box 11, so as to reduce the problem of oil leakage of the gear box 11. The device can be applied to electric tools that can adjust the speed by adjusting the speed of the speed regulating wire 7, such as impact wrenches, electric drills, electric screwdrivers and impact drills. The accompanying drawings of this embodiment illustrate the above-mentioned oil leakage prevention device through an electric screwdriver.

[0028] Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the reduction gearbox anti-leakage device includes a housing 2, a speed regulating assembly, and a gearbox 11 arranged in the housing 2. The gearbox 11 is used to install a transmission gear that receives the rotational power of the motor and transmits it to the output shaft. The transmission gear is, for example, a planetary gear reducer. The planetary gear reducer includes an inner ring gear 19, a planet carrier, and planetary gears mounted on the planet carrier and meshing with the inner ring gear 19.

[0029] The speed regulating assembly comprises a movable speed regulating wire 7, which extends into a gear box 11 and is moved to adjust the speed. The gear box 11 is provided with a movable hole 14 for the speed regulating wire 7 to extend into for speed regulation.

[0030] Preferably, the speed regulating assembly further comprises a speed regulating dial button 1 slidably disposed on the housing 2 , and the movement of the speed regulating wire 7 is driven by the sliding of the speed regulating dial button 1 .

[0031] Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, preferably, a slide groove 18 is provided on the housing 2, and the speed dial button 1 is slidably set in the slide groove 18. A window 4 is provided on the housing 2, and a toggle portion 3 is provided on the speed dial button 1, extending from the window 4, for manual toggle.

[0032] Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the outer shell 2 includes a left half shell 15 and a right half shell 16, which are fixedly connected by screws after being matched together. A left groove is provided on the left half shell 15, and a right groove is provided on the right half shell 16. After the left half shell 15 and the right half shell 16 are matched together, the left groove and the right groove are combined into the above-mentioned slide groove 18.

[0033] Figure 5As shown, preferably, the speed regulating wire 7 is installed between the speed regulating dial 1 and the outer side of the gear box 11, the speed regulating wire 7 is straddled on the outer side of the gear box 11, and the two sides of the gear box 11 are provided with movable holes 14 for the two side ends of the speed regulating wire 7 to extend into the speed regulation, and the two side ends of the speed regulating wire 7 have linkage parts 10 extending toward the middle, and the linkage parts 10 on both sides respectively pass through the movable holes 14 on both sides of the gear box 11 and extend into the gear box 11, and are used to cooperate with the transmission gears inside the gear box 11. For example, the linkage parts 10 on both sides extend into the gear box 11 and are connected to the inner gear ring 19, and the speed regulating wire 7 is driven to move by pushing the speed regulating dial 1 to slide, so that the speed regulating wire 7 drives the inner gear ring 19 to move axially to achieve speed regulation.

[0034] Preferably, the speed regulating wire 7 includes side edges 9 located on both sides of the gear box 11, one side of the side edges 9 is connected by the top edge 8, the linkage part 10 extending into the gear box 11 is arranged on the other side of the side edges 9, the middle part of the side edges 9 is hinged to the gear box 11, the top edge 8 is movably connected to the speed regulating dial 1, and the speed regulating dial 1 slides relative to the housing 2 to toggle the top edge 8, so that the linkage part 10 located on the other side of the side edge 9 swings to toggle the inner gear ring 19 inside the gear box 11 to move for speed regulation. The speed regulating dial 1 is arranged on the top of the housing 2, the speed regulating wire 7 is inserted downwardly on the outside of the gear box 11, and the top edge 8 is located above the gear box 11.

[0035] Preferably, a snap-in block 5 is protruded on the inner side wall of the speed dial 1 , and a snap-in groove 6 is provided on the snap-in block 5 for the top edge 8 to be inserted into. The top edge 8 is movably inserted into the snap-in groove 6 and is moved by sliding the speed dial 1 .

[0036] When the speed regulating wire 7 rotates, the linkage part 10 located at the lower part of the side edge 9 rotates in the movable hole 14 around the hinge point.

[0037] Preferably, hinge shafts 12 are protrudingly provided on the outer walls of both sides of the gear box 11 , and the middle parts of the two side edges 9 of the speed regulating wire 7 are respectively hinged on the hinge shafts 12 on both sides and rotate around the hinge shafts 12 .

[0038] Preferably, the speed regulating wire 7 is C-shaped or U-shaped.

[0039] Figure 3 As shown, a positioning protrusion 13 is provided above the movable hole 14 on the gear box 11. When the speed dial 1 is pushed forward or backward to change gears, the lower part of the side 9 of the speed regulating wire 7 is placed on the front or rear side of the positioning protrusion 13. The positioning protrusion 13 limits the speed regulating wire 7, so that the speed regulating wire 7 is locked at the position corresponding to the required gear position, preventing the speed of the electric screwdriver from changing due to the displacement of the speed regulating wire 7 during operation. When the speed dial 1 slides, the lower part of the side 9 of the speed regulating wire 7 is squeezed by the positioning protrusion 13 to cause elastic deformation, so that the lower part of the side 9 can be lifted up and pass over the positioning protrusion 13.

[0040] Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, a sealing member 17 corresponding to the movable hole 14 is provided between the gear box 11 and the housing 2 . The sealing member 17 is elastic and is pressed onto the movable hole 14 to seal the movable hole 14 . The sealing of the sealing member 17 reduces the outflow of lubricating oil inside the gear box 11 .

[0041] Preferably, the blocking piece 17 is pressed onto the outside of the speed regulating wire 7 while blocking the movable hole 14. When the speed regulating wire 7 swings around the hinge shaft 12 for gear shifting and speed regulation, the blocking piece 17 is elastically deformed by the squeezing of the speed regulating wire 7, so that the speed regulating wire 7 can move under the blocking piece 17.

[0042] Preferably, the blocking member 17 is made of elastic silicone or elastic rubber.

[0043] Preferably, the area of ​​the blocking member 17 used to block the movable hole 14 is not less than the orifice area of ​​the movable hole 14. Most preferably, the area of ​​the blocking member 17 used to block the movable hole 14 is slightly larger than the orifice area of ​​the movable hole 14, so that the blocking member 17 can block the outside of the entire orifice of the movable hole 14.

[0044] In order to ensure the blocking effect of the blocking member 17 and prevent the blocking member 17 from moving when in use, the blocking member 17 needs to be positioned. There are many ways to position the blocking member 17 between the gear box 11 and the housing 2, for example:

[0045] Figure 6 As shown, a solution is shown, the blocking member 17 is fixed to the housing 2, and a groove 20 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 2. The blocking member 17 is inserted into the groove 20, and a part of the blocking member 17 protrudes from the groove 20 to block the movable hole 14. In order to make the blocking member 17 more effective, the thickness of the part of the blocking member 17 protruding from the groove 20 in the natural state is greater than the distance from the movable hole 14 to the notch of the groove 20, so that when the blocking member 17 is pressed on the movable hole 14 for blocking, it will be elastically deformed due to extrusion, and the elastic reset of the blocking member 17 allows the blocking member 17 to be tightly attached to the movable hole 14.

[0046] In another solution, the plugging member 17 is fixed to the housing 2, and the plugging member 17 is glued and fixed to the inner wall of the housing 2. There is a gap between the housing 2 and the gear box 11 for accommodating the plugging member 17. In order to make the plugging member 17 more effective, the thickness of the plugging member 17 in the natural state is not less than the width of the gap. Preferably, the thickness of the plugging member 17 in the natural state is greater than the width of the gap, so that when the plugging member 17 is pressed on the movable hole 14 for blocking, it will be elastically deformed due to extrusion, and the elastic reset of the plugging member 17 allows the plugging member 17 to be tightly attached to the movable hole 14.

[0047] In another solution, the blocking member 17 is fixed by the clamping force between the inner wall of the housing 2 and the outer wall of the gear box 11. There is a gap between the housing 2 and the gear box 11 for accommodating the blocking member 17. In order to make the blocking member 17 more effective, the thickness of the blocking member 17 in the natural state is not less than the width of the gap. Preferably, the thickness of the blocking member 17 in the natural state is greater than the width of the gap, so that when the blocking member 17 is pressed on the movable hole 14 for blocking, it will be elastically deformed due to extrusion, and the elastic reset of the blocking member 17 allows the blocking member 17 to be tightly attached to the movable hole 14.

[0048] Regarding the above-mentioned speed control knob 1 driving the speed control wire 7 to move, we also have another structure, the specific contents are as follows: the speed control wire 7 is fixedly connected to the speed control knob 1, and when the speed control knob 1 slides back and forth, the speed control wire 7 is driven to move synchronously for speed regulation.

[0049] This structure is not limited to electric screwdrivers, and other handheld power tools with adjustable speed are applicable to the patent structure, such as electric drills, impact drills, electric screwdrivers and electric wrenches.

[0050] The above is an introduction to the oil leakage prevention device for the reduction box of the electric tool provided by the utility model.
