[0040] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this utility model provides a pneumatic wrench, which includes a housing 1, a cylinder 2, a valve sleeve 3, and a throttling core 4.
[0041] The outer shell 1 includes a front shell 11 and a rear shell. The rear shell includes a housing 12 and a handle 13. The housing 12 and the handle 13 are integrally formed by injection molding, which can reduce quality defects of the rear shell. At the same time, the injection molding technology helps to reduce production costs by reducing production steps and shortening the production cycle, and can also design more complex rear shells.
[0042] The housing 12 has a boss 123 with a mounting hole 124. The front housing 11 has a connecting hole 111. A bolt 6 is installed in the mounting hole 124 and threaded into the connecting hole 111, allowing the front housing 11 to be detachably installed in the rear housing. This invention provides ample space for the bolt 6 by providing a boss 123 on the outer side of the housing 12. Furthermore, the boss 123 has specific dimensions, giving it good strength and increasing the load-bearing capacity of the bolt 6, while also increasing the overall strength of the housing 12.
[0043] A sealing element 14 is provided between the front shell 11 and the housing 12. The rear side of the sealing element 14 has a groove 141, and the housing 12 has a limiting protrusion 121 that is embedded in the groove 141. The front side of the sealing element 14 has a groove 145, and the front shell 11 has a limiting protrusion 113 that is embedded in the groove 145, increasing the airtightness of the front shell 11 and the housing 12. The sealing element 14 has a notch 143 through which the bolt 6 passes for easy installation. The sealing element 14 also has a protrusion 142 for easy and quick installation between the front shell 11 and the housing 12.
[0044] The handle 13 has an air intake channel. The cylinder 2 is located in the cavity 122 of the housing 12. The valve sleeve 3 has a forward rotation air intake hole 32 and a reverse rotation air intake hole 31 that communicate with the cylinder 2. The valve sleeve 3 passes through the valve sleeve hole 144 of the seal 14. The front housing 11 has a front housing hole 112. One end of the valve sleeve 3 is located in the front housing hole 112. The valve sleeve 3 has a main air intake hole 39 that communicates with the air intake channel. The throttle core 4 is located inside the valve sleeve 3 and moves along the axis of the valve sleeve 3. The forward and reverse rotation of the pneumatic wrench is existing technology, such as the utility model patent entitled "A New Type of Pneumatic Wrench" (authorization announcement number: CN206623026U). This utility model will not elaborate on the specific working principle of forward and reverse rotation.
[0045] The valve sleeve 3 and cylinder 2 of this utility model are detachably connected. Specifically, the outer side of the valve sleeve 3 protrudes outward to form a connecting part 33. The connecting part 33 is provided with a threaded hole 34. The cylinder 2 is provided with a fixing seat 21. The outer side of the fixing seat 21 protrudes outward to form a connecting part 22. The connecting part 22 is provided with a threaded hole 23. A screw 5 is threaded into the threaded hole 34 and the threaded hole 23, so that the connecting part 33 is detachably connected to the connecting part 22. When the screw 5 is unscrewed, the valve sleeve 3 can be removed from the cylinder 2, allowing technicians to quickly separate the cylinder 2 and the valve sleeve 3, thereby simplifying the maintenance process. At the same time, by replacing the damaged valve sleeve 3 separately instead of the entire pneumatic wrench, maintenance costs can be reduced, economic efficiency can be improved, the service life of the pneumatic wrench can be extended, and its safety and reliability can be improved.
[0046] The connecting part 33 is provided with a countersunk groove 35, which is connected to the threaded hole 34. The end of the screw 5 is recessed into the countersunk groove 35, so that the end of the screw 5 does not protrude, improving the aesthetics. At the same time, it can prevent accidental collision or scratching by objects or people, improving the safety of product use. Moreover, it can distribute the load when the end of the screw 5 is under force, reducing local stress concentration, thereby protecting the cover plate from damage. It can also reduce the risk of the screw 5 loosening, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the valve sleeve 3 and the cylinder 2.
[0047] The valve sleeve 3 is provided with a groove 37, which is located below the screw 5. This provides a larger space for the valve sleeve 3 when the screw 5 is screwed in. When the screw 5 is installed, it prevents the screw 5 from scratching the outside of the valve sleeve 3. At the same time, it makes it easier for the screw 5 to be screwed into the threaded hole 34 and the threaded hole 23 vertically from top to bottom, ensuring the effective connection between the connecting part 33 and the connecting part 22.
[0048] The outer side of the valve sleeve 3 protrudes outward, forming an edge portion 36. The connecting portion 33 and the edge portion 36 are integrally formed, which fixes the connecting portion 33 and the edge portion 36 together, providing good strength. At the same time, it leaves a large space between the connecting portion 33 and the outer side of the valve sleeve 3, which facilitates the installation of screws 5 with a designed diameter, meeting the installation requirements of the valve sleeve 3 and the cylinder 2.
[0049] The valve sleeve 3 is provided with a pad 38, and the pad 38 is provided with a through hole 310, which is connected to the main air inlet 39 and also connected to the air intake channel. The pad 38 is made of an elastic material, such as a rubber pad, to increase the airtightness between the valve sleeve 3 and the handle 13.
[0050] This utility model adds a housing 7 with a cavity. The handle 13 is located in the cavity, so that the housing 7 covers the handle 13, protecting it and increasing the service life of the pneumatic wrench. The housing 7 is manufactured separately, and its surface has anti-slip textures, giving the handle 13 an anti-slip function.
[0051] The housing 7 is equipped with a cover plate 71. The housing 7 and the cover plate 71 are integrally molded by injection molding, giving them good strength. The cover plate 71 has a groove into which the rear end of the housing 12 is embedded. The cover plate 71 supports the housing 12, increases its strength, and meets the requirements for the rotation of the knob in the rear housing. The cover plate 71 has a limiting hole 74 and a mounting groove 73. The threaded rod of the bolt 6 passes through the limiting hole 74, and the head 61 of the bolt 6 is recessed into the mounting groove 73, preventing the head 61 of the bolt 6 from protruding, improving aesthetics, and preventing accidental collisions or scratches from objects or people, thus improving the safety of product use. It also allows the head 61 of the bolt 6 to distribute the load when under force, reducing local stress concentration, thereby protecting the cover plate 71 from damage and reducing the risk of the bolt 6 loosening, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the front housing 11 and the rear housing. The cover plate 71 is provided with a limiting part 72, and the limiting part 72 is provided with a limiting groove. The boss 123 is embedded in the limiting groove, so that the cover plate 71 is positioned on the housing 12, which facilitates the quick installation of the bolt 6 and improves the overall strength of the rear housing. In this utility model, the housing 7 is manufactured separately, and the surface of the housing 7 is formed with anti-slip texture 75, so that the handle has an anti-slip function.
