[0016] The whole structure of the electric tool 1 of the embodiment is as shown in the figure. Figure 1As shown, it mainly includes a housing 2, a speed control and shifting device 3 rotatably mounted on the housing 2, and a transmission device (not shown) installed inside the housing that can switch gears. The speed control and shifting device 3 is used to adjust the mode switching mechanism. Users can switch modes according to different usage scenarios.
[0017] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the speed control shifting device 3 includes an annular fixing cover 31 fixed to the housing 2 by screws, and a knob 32 rotatably mounted on the fixing cover 31 and exposed thereon. The fixing cover 31 has at least two circumferentially spaced grooves 311 (e.g., ...). Figure 3 As shown), the knob 32 has a boss 321 that engages with the groove 311 (as shown). Figure 4 (As shown). The groove 311 engages with the boss 321 to achieve circumferential locking between the knob 32 and the fixed cover 31.
[0018] Based on this design, the knob 32 in this embodiment has a first position that is elastically raised (e.g., Figure 5 (as shown) and the second position after the pressure drops (as shown) Figure 6 (As shown). When knob 32 is in the position Figure 5 In the first position shown, the boss engages with the groove, preventing the knob from rotating; the locking operation is achieved by the engagement of the knob 32 with the fixed cover 31, resulting in a simple structure. The user lowers the knob 32 to... Figure 6 The second position shown allows the boss 321 to disengage from the groove 311 to unlock, and allows the knob 32 to rotate relative to the fixed cover, facilitating subsequent gear shifting operations. This makes the operation convenient and effortless.
[0019] The speed control and shifting device 3 also includes an elastic element 33 that can reset the protrusion 321 of the knob 32 into the groove of the fixed cover 31. The two pairs of grooves and protrusions shown in this embodiment correspond to two-speed mode switching. The number of grooves and protrusions is not limited to two pairs and can be adjusted according to the number of speeds for mode switching.
[0020] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the speed control and shifting device 3 in this embodiment also includes a torsion spring 34, one end of which abuts against the knob 32, and the other end of which abuts against the clutch component 35. The clutch component 35 has an eccentric pin 351 at its lower end, and the mode switching mechanism is connected to the speed control and shifting device through the eccentric pin 351. The speed control and shifting device 3 also includes a sealing ring 36 disposed between the fixed cover 31 and the knob 32 to prevent dust from entering the housing.
