Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of portable motor-driven tools for tightening or loosening screws or nuts, and particularly relates to an electric wrench. Background Art

[0002] In oil fields, especially when installing and removing nuts on wellhead flanges, due to the large size of the nuts, the torque required for nut disassembly is also large. In the past, large and long mechanical wrenches were often used, even with force bars, to complete normal disassembly and assembly. The disassembly and assembly process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to safety accidents due to tool slippage. Electric wrenches drive the corresponding sleeve to rotate through the work of the motor, thereby realizing the disassembly and assembly of large nuts. The use of electric wrenches can greatly reduce the workload of disassembling and assembling large nuts in oil fields and ensure operational safety.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with an authorization announcement date of August 21, 2013 and an authorization announcement number of CN203141396U discloses an electric wrench, which includes a driving gear connected to the output shaft of a driving motor, two transmission gears meshing with the driving gear, and an internal gear meshing with the two transmission gears and located on the outer periphery of the transmission gear, and a sleeve joint is integrally connected to the outer side of the internal gear; the sleeve joint can be used with sleeves of different models, so that nuts or bolts of different specifications can be disassembled and assembled.

[0004] The above electric wrenches with gear transmission are characterized by high transmission accuracy, low torque loss, and are suitable for transmission of large torques and stable operation. The nuts used in oil field well tools have many specifications and different installation positions. The disassembly and assembly space of some nuts is very limited. Although the above electric wrenches have paid attention to the problem of use in small areas, the gear shafts and sleeve joints of the driving gear and driven gear are all located within the upper and lower projection ranges of the internal gear. After the sleeve joint is connected to the sleeve, the space occupied in the disassembly and assembly direction of the nut will be larger.

[0005] In order to solve this problem, the electric wrench involved in CN203141396U is a set of sleeve accessories designed separately, and its sleeve accessories are composed of a vertical rod, a small bevel gear, a large bevel gear, a gear housing and a flat rod. The upper end of the vertical rod has an inner square joint that matches the sleeve joint, the lower end of the vertical rod is connected to the small bevel gear, the small bevel gear is meshed with the large cone gear, the large cone gear is connected to one end of the flat rod, and the other end of the flat rod has an outer square joint that matches the sleeve head for disassembling or tightening the bolt, thereby meeting the problem of disassembling and tightening nuts in a small space. However, the problem brought about by this is that the complexity of the electric wrench structure increases, the torque loss increases, and the stability of operation decreases.

Detailed Embodiment

[0027] The electric wrench of the present utility model mainly consists of a driving motor, a driving gear connected to the output shaft of the driving motor, a driven gear meshing with the driving gear and having a central hole, and a nut sleeve key-connected in the central hole of the driven gear. When disassembling and assembling nuts, only the driven gear and the nut sleeve extend into the nut disassembly and assembly space, so the use requirements of most narrow nut disassembly and assembly spaces can be met.

[0028] Furthermore, through the further optimization of structures such as key connection and base, the operating reliability, safety, etc. of the electric wrench can be correspondingly improved, and it has good practicability in the process of disassembling and assembling nuts at the oilfield site.

[0029] The implementation situation of the present utility model will be described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] The electric wrench of this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, includes a base 3 provided with a driving gear 1 and a driven gear 2, and a housing 4 connected to one end of the driving gear of the base 3.

[0032] The base 3 has an installation cavity 5 for installing the driving gear 1 and the driven gear 2, and the driven gear 2 meshes with the driving gear 1. A nut sleeve 6 is key-connected in the central hole of the driven gear 2, and the inner hole of the nut sleeve 6 matches the nut to be disassembled and assembled. In this way, when the motor drives the driving gear 1 to rotate, it drives the driven gear 2 and the nut sleeve 6 to rotate, so as to realize the quick and labor-saving disassembly and assembly of the nut.

[0033] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a key groove 7 extending along the axial direction of the central hole is formed on the hole wall of the central hole of the driven gear 2, and the upper end of the key groove 7 is open and the lower end is closed. A key block 8 matching the key groove 7 is correspondingly provided on the nut sleeve 6. During use, the key block 8 is inserted into the key groove 7 from the upper end, and the nut sleeve 6 is key-connected to the driven gear 2 to realize the circumferential fixation of the nut sleeve 6 on the central hole of the driven gear 2. In order to further realize the axial fixation of the nut sleeve 6 on the central hole of the driven gear 2 and further improve the stability and safety during the nut disassembly and assembly process, bolt holes 9 are correspondingly formed on the bottom wall of the key groove 7 and the bottom of the key block 8, and bolts 10 are inserted into the bolt holes 9 to realize the axial fixed connection between the nut sleeve 6 and the driven gear 2.

[0034] The bolt hole on the bottom wall of the keyway 7 is a stepped hole. After the bolt 10 is tightened in the bolt hole 9, the nut of the bolt 10 sinks into the stepped hole, and a rubber ring 11 is also provided between the nut of the bolt 10 and the inner wall surface of the stepped hole. The rubber ring 11 increases the friction between the nut of the bolt 10 and the inner wall of the stepped hole, avoiding the loosening of the thread of the bolt 10 and affecting the firm stability of the installation of the nut sleeve 6.

[0035] In this embodiment, three keyways 7 are equally angularly distributed on the inner wall of the central hole of the driven gear 2, and three sets of corresponding key blocks 8, bolts 10 and other components are correspondingly provided, so as to ensure the firm stability of the installation between the nut sleeve 6 and the driven gear 2.

[0036] To realize the rotational assembly of the driven gear 2 in the base 3, guide blocks 12 are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction on the upper and lower end faces of the driven gear 2. The installation cavity 5 of the base 3 is surrounded by an upper cavity wall, a lower cavity wall and a side cavity wall. Guide ring grooves 13 corresponding to the guide blocks 12 on the upper and lower end faces of the driven gear 2 are opened on the upper cavity wall and the lower cavity wall. The guide blocks 12 are embedded in the guide ring grooves 13 to realize the rotational assembly of the driven gear 2 in the installation cavity 5 of the base. In this embodiment, there are five guide blocks 12 on each of the upper and lower end faces of the driven gear 2, and they are equally angularly arranged in the circumferential direction. By using the sliding of the guide blocks 12 inside the guide ring grooves 13, the rotation of the driven gear 2 is made more stable.

[0037] See Figure 2 , the base is designed with an upper and lower split structure, consisting of an upper seat body and a lower seat body. The installation cavity 5 of the base 3 is formed by the upper seat body and the lower seat body being joined together. The above split structure design facilitates the installation of the driving gear 1 and the driven gear 2 in the installation cavity 5. After the relevant components are installed, the upper seat body and the lower seat body are locked and fixed together by bolts.

[0038] Figure 2 and Figure 6 In, a housing 4 is installed at one end of the driving gear 1 of the base 3. A motor 14 is fixedly connected inside the housing 4. The motor 14 drives and connects the driving gear 1 through a connecting shaft. One side of the housing 4 is connected with a driving rod 15. A motor switch (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the driving rod 15. A connecting socket 16 is arranged at the end of the driving rod 15. After the external power cord is plugged into the connecting socket 16 and powered on, the motor 14 can be controlled to work through the motor switch, and then the disassembly and assembly operation of the nut can be realized.

[0039] Embodiment 2

[0040] The electric wrench of this embodiment includes a base and a housing. The designs of the driving gear and the driven gear in the base and the design of the motor in the housing are the same as those in Embodiment 1. As Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a drive rod 15 is connected to one side of the housing 4. To prevent dust and other impurities from entering the inside when the connection socket 16 is not in use and achieve dust protection, a dust-proof component 17 is also provided at the connection socket 16. The dust-proof component 17 includes a dust-proof cover 170 hinged to the connection socket 16 at one end, an iron block 171 provided at the other end of the dust-proof cover 170, and a magnetic block 172 provided on the connection socket 16 and cooperating with the iron block 171. By using the magnetic attraction fixation between the magnetic block 172 and the iron block 171, the dust-proof cover 170 is fixed after deflection, and thus one side of the connection socket 16 can be completely blocked and sealed to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the inside of the connection socket 16.

[0041] Figure 1 In [description], on the other side of the housing 4 opposite to the drive rod 15, a handle 18 is provided. A wavy finger groove 180 is formed on the inner wall of the handle 18, which can improve the comfort of the user holding the handle 18.

[0042] As Figure 2 shown, a rubber pad 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base 3. The rubber pad 19 is provided with a corresponding notch at one end corresponding to the driven gear 2 to avoid affecting the nut from being sleeved into the nut sleeve 6. The rubber pad 19 realizes the flexible contact between the bottom of the base 3 and the contact surface, and thus can achieve simple buffering and shock absorption between the two.

[0043] The front end of the base 3 is arc-shaped and is provided with an arc-shaped silica gel pad 20. By using the arc-shaped silica gel pad 20, when the base 3 is carried, a hard collision at its front end can be avoided.

[0044] In addition, as Figure 2 shown, anti-slip lines 21 are provided inside the nut sleeve 6 to increase the contact friction between the inner wall of the nut sleeve 6 and the surface of the nut. The anti-slip lines 21 are arranged in two rows up and down on the inner wall of the nut sleeve 6, and the distance between adjacent anti-slip lines in each row is equal. The cross-sectional shape of the anti-slip lines 21 is rectangular to facilitate processing and enhance the contact friction.

[0045] The working principle and usage process of the electric wrench in the above embodiments are described as follows:

[0046] First, select a nut sleeve 6 of different sizes according to the nut to be disassembled and assembled. Use a tool such as a screwdriver to rotate the bolt 10 until it is completely separated from the inside of the bolt hole 9. Then, push the nut sleeve 6 forcefully so that the key block 8 is completely separated from the inside of the key groove 7 to achieve disassembly. Subsequently, install a suitable nut sleeve 6, snap the key block 8 into the inside of the key groove 7, and then rotate the bolt 10 until it completely enters the bolt hole 9 to achieve a firm snap fit and fixation between the key block 8 and the inside of the key groove 7. Thus, the disassembly and assembly between the nut sleeve 6 and the driven gear 2 can be realized, which is convenient for it to be applicable to nuts of different sizes and specifications. At the same time, it can also quickly replace the nut sleeve 6 when the inside of the nut sleeve 6 is severely worn.

[0047] Afterwards, turn the iron block 171 to deflect and open the dust cover 170. Then, the external power cord can be inserted into the connection socket 16 for power supply. Then, the staff holds the handle 18 with one hand and the driving rod 15 with the other hand, carries the base 3 to a suitable position, and makes the lower opening of the nut sleeve 6 cover the nut. After that, press the switch on the driving rod 15 to start the motor 14 inside the housing 4, thereby driving the driving gear 1 to rotate. By using the meshing of the driving gear 1 and the driven gear 2, the driven gear 2 rotates to drive the nut sleeve 6 to rotate, thereby realizing the disassembly and assembly actions of the nut;

[0048] Meanwhile, when not in use, unplug the power cord, deflect the dust cover 170, and use the magnetic attraction between the magnetic block 172 and the iron block 171 for fixation, so as to fix the deflected dust cover 170, completely cover and seal one side of the connection socket 16, and prevent dust and other impurities from entering the inside of the connection socket 16.

[0049] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
