Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] This embodiment provides a variable angle offset shaft screwdriver, which includes: a drive assembly, an output screwdriver head 100, and an offset transmission assembly 200. The offset transmission assembly 200 includes a fixed housing 201, on which an input shaft 202 and an output shaft 203 are arranged parallel and spaced apart. The input shaft 202 and the output shaft 203 are provided with mutually meshing transmission gears 204. The output shaft of the drive assembly is connected to the input shaft 202, and the output screwdriver head 100 is connected to the output shaft 203. The offset transmission assembly 200 is used to adjust the distance between the output screwdriver head 100 and the output shaft of the drive assembly so that the output screwdriver head 100 is offset to the periphery of the output shaft of the drive assembly.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The drive assembly can be a manual or electric drive tool used to drive the output cutter head 100 to rotate, thereby rotating bolts, nuts, and other parts. Please refer to... Figure 2As shown, in related technologies, the output shaft of the drive assembly is usually directly connected to the output head 100, and the output head 100 and the output shaft of the drive assembly are on the same straight line. This can lead to situations where such screwdrivers may not be able to complete the operation or are inconvenient to operate in some confined spaces or when operating on parts at corners. In this embodiment, the output head 100 is mounted by an offset transmission assembly 200. While ensuring that the drive assembly can drive the output head 100 to rotate normally, the output head 100 is offset from the output shaft of the drive assembly. The offset output head 100 is easier to extend into confined spaces for operation, solving the problem of inconvenience in special environments. Specifically, the offset transmission assembly 200 includes a fixed housing 201 and an input shaft 202 and an output shaft 203 that are parallel and spaced apart on the fixed housing 201. The input shaft 202 is connected to the output shaft of the drive assembly, and the output shaft 203 is connected to the output head 100, realizing the separation and offset of the head from the drive assembly. The input shaft 202 and output shaft 203 are each equipped with a transmission gear 204, which mesh with each other to transmit power from the drive assembly to the output screwdriver head 100, causing the output screwdriver head 100 to rotate and thus perform screw installation or removal operations. The output screwdriver head 100 is mounted via an offset transmission assembly 200, which offsets the output screwdriver head 100 from the drive assembly, thereby adapting to operational requirements in special environments and improving the practicality of the variable angle offset shaft screwdriver.
[0027] Optionally, in some possible embodiments, the drive assembly includes a rotating mechanism 300, the output shaft of the drive assembly being driven to engage with the first transmission gear 204 of the bias transmission assembly 200 via the rotating mechanism 300, and the rotating mechanism 300 being used to adjust the angle between the output cutter head 100 and the output shaft of the drive assembly.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rotating mechanism 300 rotates synchronously with the output screwdriver head 100. The angle between the output screwdriver head 100 and the output shaft of the drive assembly can be adjusted by rotating the rotating mechanism 300. It is understandable that in some special operating spaces, a long, straight screwdriver is insufficient or difficult to use. For example, in confined spaces with obstructions, a straight screwdriver is inconvenient or impossible to use; in such cases, an L-shaped screwdriver is more convenient. The variable angle offset rotating shaft screwdriver provided in this embodiment can offset the output screwdriver head 100 via the offset transmission assembly 200 and adjust the angle of the output screwdriver head 100 via the rotating mechanism 300. These two mechanisms work together to adapt to various complex adjustments and meet operational needs under different adjustment conditions.
[0029] Optionally, in some possible embodiments, the rotating mechanism 300 includes a protective housing 301, a first bevel gear 302, a second bevel gear 303, and a third bevel gear 304. A mounting shaft 305 is disposed inside the protective housing 301. The output shaft of the drive assembly and the output cutter head 100 are both perpendicular to the mounting shaft 305. The first bevel gear 302 is disposed on the output shaft of the drive assembly, the second bevel gear 303 is disposed on the mounting shaft 305, and the third bevel gear 304 is drivenly connected to the first transmission gear 204. Gear 302, second bevel gear 303 and third bevel gear 304 mesh in sequence. An adjustment port 3011 is provided on the protective housing 301. The bias transmission assembly 200 extends into the interior of the protective housing 301 through the adjustment port 3011. The input shaft 202 is fixedly connected to the third bevel gear 304. The third bevel gear 304 can rotate circumferentially around the mounting shaft 305, so that the bias transmission assembly 200 and the output cutter head 100 rotate along the adjustment port 3011 to adjust the included angle between the output cutter head 100 and the output shaft of the drive assembly.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 5 The protective housing serves two purposes: firstly, it encapsulates the gears, creating a relatively closed environment to protect the gear transmission structure; secondly, it acts as a mounting bracket, supporting the mounting shaft 305 and other structures, and limiting the gears to ensure stability during transmission and smoothness during the adjustment of the third bevel gear 304. This prevents gears from falling off, being damaged by external impacts, or foreign objects from getting stuck in the gears, thus ensuring normal transmission during maintenance. The first bevel gear 302, the second bevel gear 303, and the third bevel gear 304 mesh sequentially to form a gear transmission mechanism, ensuring that the drive assembly can rotate the output cutter head 100. The second bevel gear 303 is fixed to the mounting shaft 305, and the third bevel gear 304 can rotate circumferentially along the mounting shaft 305 during meshing with the second bevel gear 303, thereby driving the off-axis transmission assembly connected to the third bevel gear 304 to rotate. An adjustment port 3011 is provided on one side of the protective housing 301, facilitating the extension of the off-axis transmission assembly 200 to the outside of the protective housing 301 to connect to the output cutter head 100. On the other hand, the adjustment port 3011 has a strip-shaped structure, forming an adjustment groove. This ensures the smooth rotation of the offset transmission assembly 200 while also acting as a limit, preventing damage to the output cutter head 100 due to excessive rotation angle. The adjustment angle of the output cutter head 100, as well as the opening size and actual length of the adjustment port 3011, are selected during production according to actual needs. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on these aspects. Figure 3 and Figure 4 This only represents one embodiment where the output cutter head 100 rotates 90 degrees. In other embodiments, the output cutter head 100 may also rotate 180 degrees (90 degrees on each side) or 270 degrees, etc.
[0031] Optionally, in some possible embodiments, the fixed housing 201 has an annular rotating part 2011, and the protective housing 301 has a rotating groove 3012, in which the rotating part 2011 is engaged.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 5 The protective housing 301 is provided with an annular rotating groove 3012, and the fixed housing 201 is correspondingly provided with an annular rotating part 2011. The rotating part 2011 is engaged in the rotating groove 3012, thereby rotatably connecting the protective housing 301 and the fixed housing 201, so that the bias transmission assembly 200 and the drive assembly form an integral structure. The rotating groove 3012 and the rotating part 2011 cooperate with each other to play a limiting role, ensuring the stability of the bias transmission assembly 200 during rotation adjustment.
[0033] Optionally, in some possible embodiments, the rotating mechanism 300 further includes a locking mechanism 400, which includes a limit buckle 401. The rotating part 2011 is provided with a plurality of locking grooves 402 spaced apart circumferentially. The limit buckle 401 has a locking position that is engaged in the locking groove 402 and an unlocking position that is disengaged from the locking groove 402. The limit buckle 401 is driven to switch between the locking position and the unlocking position.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 5 The limiting buckle 401 is slidably mounted on the mounting shaft 305. The rotating part 2011 has several circumferentially spaced locking grooves 402, with equal intervals between them, corresponding to the rotation angle of the output cutter head 100, allowing the output cutter head 100 to be fixed at a specific angle, such as 30°, 60°, or 90°. The limiting buckle 401 has a protruding portion that matches the shape and size of the locking groove 402. When the protruding portion of the limiting buckle 401 is engaged in the locking groove 402, the rotating part 2011 cannot rotate freely, thus keeping the output cutter head 100 at a fixed angle. Conversely, when the limiting buckle 401 disengages from the locking groove 402, the rotating part 2011 can rotate freely, thereby adjusting the angle of the output cutter head 100. The operator can drive the limit buckle 401 to switch between the locked and unlocked positions, thereby fixing the output cutter head 100 during use and preventing the output cutter head 100 from rotating uncontrollably during operation, which would affect the operating effect.
[0035] Optionally, in some possible embodiments, a switching button 403 is provided on the protective housing 301, the switching button 403 is drivenly connected to the limit buckle 401, and the switching button 403 is used to drive the limit buckle 401. An elastic element 404 is provided on the mounting shaft 305, the elastic element 404 is connected to the limit buckle 401, and the elastic element 404 is used to drive the limit buckle 401 to reset to the locked position.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 5The switching button 403 and the elastic element 404 are respectively located on both sides of the limit buckle 401. Initially, the limit buckle 401 is in the locked position. When the angle of the output cutter head 100 needs to be adjusted, pressing the switching button 403 disengages the limit buckle 401 from the locking groove 402, unlocking the output cutter head 100, allowing it to rotate freely. When the output cutter head 100 rotates to the appropriate angle, releasing the switching button 403 causes the limit buckle 401 to return to the locked position under the elastic force of the elastic element 404, thus locking the angle of the output cutter head 100 and ensuring its stability during subsequent operations. During screw rotation, the limit buckle 401 remains in the locked position under the action of the elastic element 404, preventing the output cutter head 100 from rotating. This eliminates the need for the operator to continuously press the switching button 403, ensuring convenience and stability during operation.
[0037] Optionally, in some possible embodiments, a dustproof plate 500 is provided over the adjustment port 3011 to cover the adjustment port 3011.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 5 The dustproof baffle is slidably disposed between the protective shell and the fixed shell 201. The fixed shell 201 has a protruding structure that can abut against the dustproof baffle 500. When the angle of the output blade 100 is adjusted, the fixed shell 201 can drive the dustproof baffle 500 to rotate along the adjustment port 3011, thereby blocking the adjustment port 3011 exposed by the rotation of the offset transmission component 200, preventing foreign objects from entering the interior and damaging the gear structure, and ensuring the service life of the variable angle offset shaft screwdriver.
[0039] Optionally, in some possible embodiments, the protective housing 301 includes a first housing 3013 and a second housing 3014 arranged symmetrically. The first housing 3013 and the second housing 3014 are provided with fixing screw holes, and studs 3015 are inserted through the fixing screw holes. The first housing 3013 and the second housing 3014 are detachably connected by studs 3015.
[0040] The protective housing 301 includes a symmetrically arranged first housing 3013 and a second housing 3014. Separate machining reduces production difficulty and facilitates the installation of structures such as the first bevel gear 302, the second bevel gear 303, the third bevel gear 304, and the locking mechanism 400. The first housing 3013 and the second housing 3014 are fixed together by studs 3015 to ensure connection strength. Besides protecting the internal structure, the protective housing 301 also limits and supports the output cutter head 100 and the rotating mechanism 300, providing reinforcement and thus achieving higher torque output.
[0041] Optionally, in some possible embodiments, the drive assembly includes a drive motor 600 and a reduction gearbox 700, with the shaft of the drive motor 600 connected to the offset transmission assembly 200 via the reduction gearbox 700. Driving the output cutter head 100 via the drive motor 600 and the reduction gearbox 700 improves operating efficiency, increases operating accuracy, and ensures the stability of screw installation.
[0042] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
