[0046] The electric tool 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can be an electric screwdriver, an electric drill, an electric wrench, etc. The working head is not limited to the bit 50, but can also be a drill bit, etc.

[0047] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the motor (not shown in the figure) in the electric tool 100 drives the output shaft 40 to output torque, the other end of the output shaft 40 is connected to the tool body 10 and can drive the tool body 10 to rotate, the motor, the output shaft 40 and the tool body 10 are all installed in the shell 60, the bit 50 is detachably inserted into the axial hole 110 of the tool body 10, and the output shaft 40 outputs torque and drives the bit 50 to rotate with the tool body 10 under the driving force of the motor, so as to tighten or loosen the screw nut.

[0048] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the tool body 10 has an axial hole 110 for accommodating the working head and a plurality of first radial holes 120, the axial hole 110 extends along a first direction, i.e. along the arrow s1 direction shown in Figure 2 , and the plurality of first radial holes 120 are distributed circumferentially around the axis of the tool body 10, and the first direction is the axis direction of the tool body 10.

[0049] The electric tool 100 further comprises an axial limiting mechanism 20, the axial limiting mechanism 20 comprises a locking assembly 210 and a plurality of first limiting members 220, the locking assembly 210 is sleeved on the tool body 10, and the first limiting members 220 are located in the first radial hole 120; the locking assembly 210 is movable in a first direction and can restrict or allow the first limiting members 220 to move in the first radial hole 120, so as to lock or unlock the working head in the first direction.

[0050] It can be understood that the movement of the locking assembly 210 in the first direction can restrict or allow the first limiting members 220 to move in a second direction in the first radial hole 120 and match the limiting groove 510 on the working head, the second direction is the radial direction of the tool body 10, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, so as to realize the radial and axial locking of the working head. Correspondingly, the movement of the locking assembly 210 in the first direction can also make the first limiting members 220 move out of the limiting groove 510, so as to unlock the working head.

[0051] As shown in Figure 2 , although the axial limiting mechanism 20 can realize the radial and axial locking of the chuck 50, there is a gap between the chuck 50 and the locking assembly 210 in the second direction, and the chuck 50 jumps during the working process of the electric driver, which affects the use effect.

[0052] Based on this, the electric tool 100 provided by the embodiment of the application abuts against the surface of the chuck 50 in the second direction by using the radial limiting mechanism 30, so as to greatly reduce the jumping phenomenon of the chuck 50, and further ensure the working efficiency and working quality of the electric driver and improve the operation experience of the user.

[0053] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the tool body 10 further comprises a plurality of second radial holes 130, and the plurality of second radial holes 130 are distributed circumferentially around the axis of the tool body 10.

[0054] The radial limiting mechanism 30 comprises a first elastic member 310 and a plurality of second limiting members 320, and the second limiting members 320 are located in the second radial holes 130; when the chuck 50 is inserted into the axial hole 110 and is in a locked state, the first elastic member 310 biases the second limiting members 320 in the second direction and makes the second limiting members 320 abut against the surface of the chuck 50, so as to further lock the working head in the second direction.

[0055] It can be understood that when the chuck 50 is in the locked state, the first elastic member 310 exerts an elastic force on the second limiting members 320 in the second direction, i.e., the radial direction of the tool body 10, and transmits the elastic force to the chuck 50, so as to inhibit the chuck 50 from jumping in the radial direction and improve the stability of the chuck 50 during the working process.

[0056] Figure 5 The diagram shows that the axial limiting mechanism 20 in the first direction is provided with a first elastic element 310 and a second limiting element 320 on both sides to further suppress the radial jump of the bit 50 and further improve the stability of the bit 50 during operation.

[0057] Specifically, the radial limiting mechanism 30 includes a first radial limiting member 3a and a second radial limiting member 3b with identical structures, which are located on opposite sides of the axial limiting mechanism 20 in a first direction. Furthermore, the distance between the first radial limiting member 3a and the axial limiting mechanism 20 is equal to the distance between the second radial limiting member 3b and the axial limiting mechanism 20, to ensure uniform force distribution on the bit 50 during operation, thereby improving the working stability of the bit 50.

[0058] Figure 3 The first elastic element 310 is shown to be a C-shaped spring sheet. The C-shaped spring sheet occupies little space and has high elasticity, which can ensure the elastic force acting on the second limiting element 320, and thus ensure the force acting on the bit 50.

[0059] Figure 5 The diagram shows a first elastic element 310 embedded in the outer wall of the tool body 10. The first elastic element 310 being embedded in the outer wall of the tool body 10 can prevent it from moving in the first direction, thereby enabling the first elastic element 310 to accurately abut against the second limiting element 320.

[0060] Preferably, both the first limiting member 220 and the second limiting member 320 are steel balls. Steel balls are durable and can reduce operator fatigue.

[0061] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly 210 includes a locking sleeve 211 and a second elastic member 212. The locking sleeve 211 is fitted onto the tool body 10 and can move along the first direction. The second elastic member 212 is fitted onto the tool body 10 and is located between the locking sleeve 211 and the tool body 10.

[0062] Figure 2 The image shows the bit 50 in a locked state. When it is necessary to remove the bit 50 from the tool body 10, the operator applies force to the locking sleeve 211, causing the locking sleeve 211 to move in the first direction toward the distal end of the axial hole 110. Figure 2 As shown by arrow s2, the locking sleeve 211 moves and then disengages from the first limiting member 220, thereby disengaging the first limiting member 220 from the limiting groove 510 of the bit 50, thus unlocking the bit 50 and allowing it to be removed from the tool body 10.

[0063] The operator releases the force applied to the locking sleeve 211, and the locking sleeve 211 moves back to its original position under the action of the second elastic element 212 overcoming the elastic force.

[0064] When another bit 50 needs to be installed, the operator needs to apply force to the locking sleeve 211 and make the locking sleeve 211 move along... Figure 2 As shown by arrow s2, the action is moved and maintained. After the bit 50 is inserted into the axial hole 110, and the locking sleeve 211 is able to move back to its original position under the action of the second elastic member 212 overcoming the elastic force, the surface bit 50 is installed in place, that is, the first limiting member 220 matches the limiting groove 510.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the locking sleeve 211 is provided with a limiting protrusion 2111. When the bit 50 is in the locked state, the limiting protrusion 2111 abuts against the first limiting member 220, and the first limiting member 220 matches the limiting groove 510 on the bit 50.

[0066] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a blocking member 140 is provided at the distal end of the tool body 10 corresponding to the axial hole 110. The blocking member 140 is used to block the second elastic member 212. The two ends of the second elastic member 212 are respectively connected to the limiting protrusion 2111 and the blocking member 140. When the locking sleeve 211 moves along the... Figure 2 When the movement is directed in the direction of arrow s2 shown, the second elastic element 212 is compressed and deformed. The locking sleeve 211 can move to its initial position under the action of the second elastic element 212 overcoming the elastic force. Preferably, the blocking element 140 has a C-shaped structure and is embedded in the outer wall of the tool body 10.

[0067] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6a and Figure 6c As shown, there are three second limiting members 320, each matching one of the three second radial holes 130. The three second radial holes 130 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the axis of the tool body 10. The number of second limiting members 320 matches the number of second radial holes 130. The number of second limiting members 320 is not limited to three; it can also be two, four, five, etc., depending on factors such as the size of the tool body 10.

[0068] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6bAs shown, the number of the first limit members 220 is two, and the two first limit members 220 are respectively matched with two first radial holes 120, and the two first radial holes 120 are evenly distributed around the axis of the tool body 10. The number of the first limit members 220 is matched with the number of the first radial holes 120, and of course, the number of the first limit members 220 is not limited to two, but can also be three, four, five, etc., which can be set according to the size of the tool body 10 and other factors.

[0069] It should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not intended to encompass all possible implementations encompassed by the claims. Various modifications and alterations can also be made on the basis of the above embodiments without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Similarly, any combination of the technical features of the above embodiments can also be made to form additional embodiments of the present application that can not have been explicitly described. Therefore, the above embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application and do not limit the protection scope of the patent of the present application.
