[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] On the one hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides an axial limiting device for an electric trigger, and the axial limiting device includes a mounting seat 1 and a shaft sleeve 2 .

[0037] Mounting base 1 is used to mount sleeve 2 and is suitable for installation on housing 100 of the electric trigger. The trigger shaft 200 of the electric trigger is installed within the axial hole of housing 100. The trigger shaft 200 can rotate about its central axis and move axially within the axial hole. One end of the trigger shaft 200 is connected to a drive mechanism 400, which is used to drive the trigger shaft 200 for rotation. The other end of the trigger shaft 200 extends from the axial hole of housing 100 and is mounted with a trigger head 300. Optionally, the trigger shaft 200 in this embodiment is a splined shaft.

[0038] The sleeve 2 is sleeved on the pull shaft 200 and is rotatably axially limited and mounted on the mounting seat 1. The end of the sleeve 2 extends out of the mounting seat 1 and is formed with a stop portion 21. The pull shaft 200 is provided with a stop fitting portion 301 suitable for impact stopping on the stop portion 21; optionally, the stop portion 21 is defined by an end face of the sleeve 2 facing the wrench head 300; the stop fitting portion 301 is defined by an end face of the wrench head 300 facing the sleeve 2.

[0039] When the pull shaft 200 retracts axially to a preset stroke, Figure 2 As shown, the pull shaft 200 can be stopped on the stop portion 21 of the shaft sleeve 2 through the stop fitting portion 301 , so as to transmit the axial impact force on the pull shaft 200 to the shaft sleeve 2 and then from the shaft sleeve 2 to the mounting seat 1 .

[0040] The axial limiting device for the electric trigger in this embodiment is used to be installed on the housing 100 of the electric trigger. When the trigger shaft 200 axially retracts to the extreme position relative to the housing 100, the stop fitting portion 301 will collide with and stop on the stop portion 21 of the sleeve 2, so that the axial impact force on the trigger shaft 200 is transmitted from the stop fitting portion 301 to the sleeve 2, and then transmitted to the mounting seat 1 through the sleeve 2, and then transmitted from the mounting seat 1 to the housing 100.

[0041] In this way, the axial impact force on the trigger shaft 200 can be transferred to the axial limiting device, and the axial limiting device and the shell 100 absorb the axial impact force from the trigger shaft 200 to prevent the trigger shaft 200 from axially impacting the drive mechanism 400, so that the drive mechanism 400 is not affected by the axial impact force of the trigger shaft 200, thereby protecting the drive mechanism 400 of the electric trigger.

[0042] In this embodiment, the mounting seat 1 has a mounting cavity 10 for mounting the shaft sleeve 2 , and a thrust bearing 3 is provided between an end surface of the shaft sleeve 2 away from the stop portion 21 and an inner top wall of the mounting cavity 10 .

[0043] When the pull shaft 200 is axially retracted to the limit position relative to the housing 100 , the stop fitting portion 301 will hit the stop portion 21 of the sleeve 2 , causing the sleeve 2 to rotate on the mounting seat 1 together with the pull shaft 200 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the thrust bearing 3 only bears the axial force of the sleeve 2 but not the radial force, which can ensure that the pull shaft 200 only transmits the axial force but not the torque to the sleeve 2, ensuring the smooth rotation of the sleeve 2 and preventing the sleeve 2 from stopping after being subjected to the impact force and affecting the rotation of the pull shaft 200.

[0045] Preferably, the thrust bearing 3 is a thrust ball bearing.

[0046] Optionally, a radial bearing 4 is sleeved on the shaft sleeve 2, and the radial bearing 4 is located between the outer wall of the shaft sleeve 2 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 10. Preferably, the radial bearing 4 is a deep groove ball bearing.

[0047] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the shaft hole on the sleeve 2 is clearance-matched with the outer wall of the trigger shaft 200, and the clearance between the two is controlled to be 0.15mm to 0.2mm, ensuring that the sleeve 2 does not affect the rotation of the trigger shaft 200 during normal operation of the electric trigger.

[0048] Optionally, the mounting base 1 includes a split-mounted shell 11 and an end cover 12, wherein one end of the shell 11 is mounted and connected to the housing 100; the mounting cavity 10 is opened at the other end of the shell 11, and the end cover 12 is used to seal the axial end opening of the mounting cavity 10.

[0049] The end cover 12 and the housing 11 are installed and connected via a connecting piece 5 , and the threaded connecting piece 5 can be a screw or a bolt.

[0050] A felt 6 is provided between the outer wall of the sleeve and the gland for providing lubricating oil to the thrust ball bearing and the radial bearing 4 located in the mounting cavity 10 .

[0051] In this embodiment, the housing 11 includes an axial limiting portion 111 , a first mounting portion 112 , and a second mounting portion 113 that are integrally connected.

[0052] The axial limiting portion 111 is located on the side of the shaft sleeve 2 away from the stop portion 21 , and the thrust bearing 3 is arranged between the shaft sleeve 2 and the axial limiting portion 111 ;

[0053] The first mounting portion 112 is sleeved on the outside of the shaft sleeve 2. One end of the first mounting portion 112 is connected to the axial limiting portion 111, and the other end is used to mount the end cover 12. The mounting cavity 10 is defined by the first mounting portion 112 and the axial limiting portion 111.

[0054] The second mounting portion 113 is sleeve-shaped and has an inner wall provided with an internal thread 1131 . The housing 100 is correspondingly provided with an external thread. The second mounting portion 113 is threadedly connected to the housing 100 .

[0055] As another embodiment, the mounting seat 1 has a mounting cavity 10 for mounting the shaft sleeve 2 , and a centripetal thrust bearing (not shown in the figure) is provided between the shaft sleeve 2 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 10 .

[0056] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electric trigger, which includes a trigger shaft 200 and a shell 100 for installing the trigger shaft 200. The trigger shaft 200 can rotate around its own central axis and can be installed in the axial hole of the shell 100 for axial telescopic movement. One end of the trigger shaft 200 is connected to the driving mechanism 400, and the other end extends from the axial hole of the shell 100 and is installed with a trigger head 300; it also includes the axial limiting device for the electric trigger in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0057] The driving mechanism 400 includes a motor and a reducer connected between the motor and the pull shaft 200. Preferably, the reducer is a planetary gear reducer.
