Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a drill chuck, in particular to a hand-tightening drill chuck, which is a drill chuck that does not require a wrench for operation. Background Art

[0002] A drill body, a clamping jaw, and a nut are provided in the drill chuck. The nut is threadedly connected to the clamping jaw. A rotating sleeve is provided in the hand-tightening drill chuck. The rotating sleeve is directly or indirectly connected to the nut through a connecting structure. By manually operating the rotating sleeve, the nut is rotated to drive the clamping jaw to move forward or backward, so that the clamping jaw clamps or loosens the drill bit. The nut is placed on a step in the middle of the drill body through a bearing ring and a gasket. The bearing ring is composed of a plastic cage and a ring of steel balls embedded in the plastic cage.

[0003] With the development of lithium battery technology, the rotational speed of electric drills is getting faster and faster. When drilling, when the electric drill stops suddenly from a high rotational speed, inertia will be generated instantaneously. The drill chuck will become loose due to the sudden stop of the electric drill. Specifically, the nut will rotate in the direction of opening the clamping jaw of the drill chuck due to inertia, resulting in the loosening of the drill bit or the failure of the locking state of the drill chuck. When the drill chuck is applied to an electric wrench, due to the large reverse impact it bears, the drill chuck is also prone to self-loosening.

[0004] In addition, during the drilling impact operation, due to the large vibration of the electric drill, the nut is likely to rotate in the opening direction, resulting in the dropping of the drill tool clamped by the clamping jaw and the inability to be used normally.

[0005] Currently, the method to solve the problem of self-loosening of the drill chuck caused by inertia, reverse impact or vibration during the operation of the drill chuck is to set an anti-loosening structure on the drill chuck. However, in many anti-loosening implementation methods, since the steel balls play a key role in applying force, during use, the plastic cage of the bearing is prone to wear, deformation, or even rupture, resulting in the failure of the drill chuck. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a hand-tightening drill chuck that can not only play a role in resisting inertia and preventing loosening during work, but also can improve the service life. To this end, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A hand-tightening drill chuck includes a rotating sleeve, a drill body, a nut, a clamping jaw, and a washer. The nut is threadedly connected to the clamping jaw. The rotating sleeve is directly or indirectly connected to the nut through a connecting structure and the rotating sleeve and the nut are axially limited. The drill body is provided with an inclined clamping jaw hole for the clamping jaw to slide back and forth along the clamping jaw hole. The nut is sleeved on the outer part of the column of the drill body. The drill body is provided with a support step, and the washer is placed on the support step. The characteristics are as follows:

[0008] The washer is a flanged washer, and its bottom arches forward. When axially compressed, it can undergo elastic deformation to provide a forward tightening force. The nut is placed in front of the flanged washer through a sliding assistance structure adapted to the forward-arched part of the bottom of the flanged washer. The sliding assistance structure is directly placed in the flanged washer and above the forward-arched part. During the drilling operation of the drill chuck, the nut is tightened by squeezing the forward-arched part through the sliding assistance structure adapted to the forward-arched part.

[0009] On the basis of adopting the above technical solution, the present utility model can also adopt the following further technical solutions, or use these further technical solutions in combination:

[0010] The rear end of the nut is inserted into the flanged washer, and a circular arc protrusion is provided at the rear end of the nut as a sliding assistance structure adapted to the forward-arched part to interact with the forward-arched part.

[0011] The sliding assistance structure adopts a ring of steel balls directly placed in the flanged washer without using a plastic cage. The steel balls are arranged in a circumferential pattern, and the diameter D of the circle formed by the centers of the balls is more than 0.6 mm larger than the diameter d of the support step of the drill body.

[0012] A circular positioning groove is provided on the outer side of the rear end of the nut. Through the positioning groove, the ring of steel balls is positioned above the forward-arched part and the forward tightening force is concentrated.

[0013] The flange of the flanged washer is provided with a slit or notch so that it can also undergo radial elastic deformation when being squeezed, and when radially expanding outward, it can be combined with the inner wall of the rotating sleeve or combined with the structure fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve.

[0014] The forward-arched part is adjacent to the radial inner side of the bend of the flange of the flanged washer, so that the angle between the forward-arched part and the flange is greater than 100°. The flanged washer sequentially includes a flange, a flange bend, a forward-arched part, and a support part cooperating with the support step from outside to inside.

[0015] The flanged washer sequentially includes a flange, a flange bend, a forward-arched part, and a support part cooperating with the support step from outside to inside. The diameter D1 of the circle formed by the center of the bend angle of the flange bend is more than 0.6 mm larger than the diameter d of the support step of the drill body.

[0016] The nut is an integral nut. The drill body is not provided with a nut installation groove. The drill chuck includes a nut limiting sleeve. The nut limiting sleeve includes a clamping part connected to the drill body at the front and a retaining ring cooperating with the front end of the nut at the rear.

[0017] The clamping part includes a ring of clamping pieces provided at the front end of the retaining ring.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model directly holds a circle of steel balls through a washer with a flanging and an arched bottom. The flanging washer with this structure can axially elastically deform to provide an axial tightening force during the drilling operation of the drill chuck, playing a role in preventing loosening of the nut. When the drill chuck encounters an emergency stop during the drilling operation, it can maintain the original clamping state. At the same time, for a self-locking drill chuck, it can also serve as a mechanism for maintaining and protecting the self-locking state; meanwhile, the use of a plastic cage can be avoided, thereby increasing the service life of the drill chuck with a function of preventing loosening; and further, the above structure can also provide a radial elastic deformation function, and when the drill chuck drills a hole, it can cooperate with the rotating sleeve to prevent the rotating sleeve from loosening, improving the anti-loosening effect.
