Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric tools, in particular to an electric wrench. Background Art

[0002] An electric wrench is a tool for tightening and loosening bolts and nuts. Currently, some electric wrenches use a single-stage planetary gear system to reduce the speed of the motor rotor, typically employing an NGW gear train with a narrow transmission ratio range. The motor's rotor shaft is supported by two bearings, front and rear. The axial spacing between the sun gear and the front bearing in the NGW gear train is small, resulting in smoother transmission. Compared to the NGW gear system, the NW gear system offers higher transmission efficiency and a wider transmission ratio range, but its axial dimensions are larger. If used in an electric wrench, this increases the axial spacing between the front bearing and the sun gear of the NW gear system, leading to unstable transmission. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an electric wrench with an output torque greater than or equal to 2000 N·m, a maximum distance between the central axis of the gear box and its outer wall less than or equal to 60 mm, and stable operation of the entire machine.

[0038] The "front" and "back" mentioned in this utility model are Figure 1 The markings in the table shall prevail.

[0039] The following is based on Figures 1 to 3 The electric wrench of the utility model is described in detail.

[0040] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 3As shown, the electric wrench 100 includes a motor 1, an NW-type gear transmission assembly 2, a front bearing 3, a rear bearing 4, an auxiliary support bearing 5, and a gearbox 6. The motor 1 includes a rotor shaft 11 for outputting a rotational driving force. The NW-type gear transmission assembly 2 is disposed within the gearbox 6, and the NW-type gear transmission assembly 2 is located in front of the motor 1. The NW-type gear transmission assembly 2 includes planetary gears 21, an inner ring gear 22, a planetary carrier 23, and a sun gear 24 formed at the front end of the rotor shaft 11. The planetary gears 21 are mounted on the planetary carrier 23 and mesh with the inner ring gear 22 and the sun gear 24, respectively. The output torque of the electric wrench 100 is greater than or equal to 2000 N·m. The maximum distance between the central axis of the gearbox 6 and its outer wall is less than or equal to 60 mm. It should be understood that the outer wall of the gearbox 6 does not include the surface wall of the fastening screws mounted on the gearbox 6. The front bearing 3 and the rear bearing 4 are respectively sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotor shaft 11 and are located on the front and rear sides of the main housing of the motor 1, respectively, to support the rotor shaft 11. The auxiliary support bearing 5 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotor shaft 11 and is located between the sun gear 24 and the front bearing 3.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric wrench 100 adopts an NW-type gear transmission assembly 2, which has higher transmission efficiency and a wider transmission ratio range than the NGW gear system, and can increase the output torque of the electric wrench 100, so that the output torque of the electric wrench 100 is greater than or equal to 2000 N·m. In addition, the NW-type gear transmission assembly 2 has a smaller radial dimension than the NGW gear system, and thus can make the maximum distance between the central axis of the gear box 6 and the outer wall thereof less than or equal to 60 mm, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the radial dimension of the electric wrench 100. In addition, since the axial dimension of the NW-type gear transmission assembly 2 is larger than that of the NGW gear system, the axial spacing between the front bearing 3 and the sun gear 24 is longer, resulting in unstable transmission. In this solution, the electric wrench 100 is additionally provided with an auxiliary support bearing 5. The auxiliary support bearing 5 is positioned between the sun gear 24 and the front bearing 3 to support the rotor shaft 11, thereby reducing the deformation amplitude of the front part of the rotor shaft 11 or preventing the front part of the rotor shaft 11 from deforming. This can avoid the unstable engagement between the sun gear 24 and the planetary gear 21 caused by this, and avoid the electric wrench 100 from failing to work smoothly under harsh working conditions, that is, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire machine.

[0042] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, one end of the planet carrier 23 is provided with an axially extending concave cavity 231 and a radially extending first mounting groove 232. The concave cavity 231 and the first mounting groove 232 are in communication. The planet gears 21 are mounted in the first mounting groove 232. The front end of the rotor shaft 11 is inserted into the concave cavity 231 and meshes with the planet gears 21. In one embodiment, there are two planet gears 21. The first mounting groove 232 radially extends through the main body of the planet carrier 23. The two planet gears 21 are located on either side of the sun gear 24 in the radial direction and are mounted to the planet carrier 23 via planet pins 25.

[0043] Furthermore, the auxiliary support bearing 5 is mounted on the planet carrier 23 .

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the auxiliary support bearing 5 is installed in the cavity 231 , and the internal space of the cavity 231 is used to accommodate the auxiliary support bearing 5 , thereby avoiding increasing the size of the electric wrench 100 due to the provision of the auxiliary support bearing 5 .

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the cavity wall of the concave cavity 231 is provided with a boss 2311, the outer ring of the auxiliary support bearing 5 radially abuts against the cavity wall of the concave cavity 231 and axially abuts against the boss 2311, and the inner ring of the auxiliary support bearing 5 is sleeved on the rotor shaft 11. The auxiliary support bearing 5 is easy and firm to assemble.

[0046] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the boss 2311 is located between the first mounting groove 232 and the auxiliary support bearing 5. Thus, when assembling the auxiliary support bearing 5, the auxiliary support bearing 5 is inserted from the open end of the cavity 231 of the planetary carrier 23 until it abuts against the boss 2311, facilitating assembly. Of course, the position of the boss 2311 is not limited to this. The auxiliary support bearing 5 can also be located between the boss 2311 and the first mounting groove 232. Thus, when assembling the auxiliary support bearing 5, the auxiliary support bearing 5 is inserted from the first mounting groove 232 into the cavity 231 until it abuts against the boss 2311, completing assembly. However, assembly is slightly inconvenient.

[0047] Furthermore, the boss 2311 is annular, which is conducive to stable axial abutment against the auxiliary support bearing 5.

[0048] In one embodiment, a second mounting groove (not shown) is provided at the rear end of the gear box 6 , and the front bearing 3 is mounted in the second mounting groove, which facilitates assembly.

[0049] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the rear end surface of the gear box 6 is provided with an annular protrusion 61, and a second mounting groove is formed between the annular protrusion 61 and the rear end surface of the gear box 6, which is easy to process.

[0050] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the axial dimension of the auxiliary support bearing 5 is smaller than the axial dimension of the front bearing 3. In this way, the front part of the rotor shaft 11 is supported by the auxiliary support bearing 5, which stabilizes the operation of the entire machine. At the same time, it also avoids the auxiliary support bearing 5 being difficult to assemble due to its long axial dimension, or even causing the axial dimension of the entire electric wrench 100 to increase.

[0051] It should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not intended to encompass all possible implementations of the claims. Various modifications and variations may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Similarly, the various technical features of the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined to form additional embodiments of the present invention that may not be explicitly described. Therefore, the above embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model patent.
