[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the impact screwdriver 100 includes a handle 110, a housing 140, and a battery pack 120. A base 111 is located on one side of the handle 110, and the battery pack 120 is mounted on the base 111. The battery pack 120 is a lithium-based rechargeable battery or a solid-state battery. The battery pack can output a current greater than 30A when operating. In one embodiment, a display component 112 is provided on the base 111, through which the operating information of the impact screwdriver can be displayed.

[0038] The handle 110 has a housing 140 on the side away from the base 111. A drive unit 170 is housed within the housing 140. The output end of the drive unit 170 is connected to a reduction gearbox 180. The output end of the reduction gearbox 180 has a mounting portion 160 for mounting a working head (not shown). Preferably, the drive unit 170 and the reduction gearbox 180 are coaxially arranged. The drive unit 170 can be a DC brushless motor.

[0039] The handle 110 is equipped with a trigger switch 130, which is connected to the control board via a cable. The trigger switch 130 is used to control the operation of the impact screwdriver.

[0040] An end cap assembly 150 is provided on one side of the housing 140. The end cap assembly 150 has a through hole in its center. A mounting portion 160 passes through this through hole and protrudes from the end cap assembly 150 for mounting a tool head. Mounting holes are spaced apart on the circumference of the end cap assembly 150. A connector uses these mounting holes to fix the end cap assembly 150 to the housing of the gearbox 180. In other embodiments, the mounting portion 160 may not protrude from the end cap assembly 150; the working head passes through the end cap assembly 150 and is mounted on the mounting portion.

[0041] The end cap assembly 150 includes an end cap 151 and a cover plate 152. The cover plate 152 is disposed on the side of the end cap 151 away from the gearbox 180, and the cover plate 152 has a circumferentially extending perforated portion 152a, which is fitted onto the light source. The cover plate 152 has a through hole in its center, through which the mounting portion 160 passes and protrudes from the cover plate 152. The cover plate 152 is made of heat-insulating material. Preferably, the cover plate 152 is made of rubber. The use of heat-insulating material (such as rubber) on the cover plate prevents heat from the gearbox from being conducted to the end cap side during operation, thus preventing burns to the user when changing tool heads.

[0042] The end cap 151 has a protrusion 151f extending axially in the middle of one side, the protrusion 151f is hollow (the protrusion has a through hole extending axially in the cover plate), and the cover plate 152 is fitted onto the protrusion 151f.

[0043] The end cap 151 has a base 151b, one side of which has a circumferentially extending dam. A recess 151a is provided on the dam, and when the end cap 151 is fixed to the gearbox, the recess 151a engages with the gearbox housing. The side of the base 151b away from the protrusion 151f serves as the bottom 151b1 of the base 151b. A protrusion 151f extending axially is located in the middle of one side of the base 151b. The protrusion 151f is hollow (it has a through hole extending axially along the cover plate), and the cover plate 152 is fitted onto the protrusion 151f. A protrusion 151d is provided on the base 151b, spaced apart circumferentially (e.g., evenly spaced) along the protrusion 151f. A light-shielding plate 151e is provided on the protrusion 151d (in other embodiments, the light-shielding plate 151e may be omitted). Preferably, when the end cap 151 is fixed to the gearbox, there is a gap between the bottom of the end cap 151 and the end of the gearbox to prevent heat from the gearbox from being directly conducted to the end cap 151. The end cap 151 has a through hole for transmitting light from a light source or light emitted by the light source. In one embodiment, the end cap 151 is made of engineering plastic or other rigid insulating material. The end cap avoids the risk of burns to the user during operation and also has an anti-static function.

[0044] The end cap assembly 150 is equipped with an illumination module, which includes a light source and a lamp board. In this embodiment, the illumination module includes a lamp board 153 and LED beads / light sources 154 disposed on one side of the lamp board 153. The LED beads / light sources 154 are attached to the lamp board 153. Preferably, the lamp board 153 has at least one notch 153a (e.g., two, three, four notches, etc.), which can be used to engage with a protrusion 181 on the gearbox housing. The lamp board can be a PCB (rigid printed circuit board) or an FPC (flexible printed circuit board). The lamp board 153 is fixed to the bottom 151b of the end cap 151 by an adhesive (e.g., hot melt adhesive). The lamp board 153 is C-shaped or partially C-shaped. The lamp board 153 is connected to a control board via a cable. The light emitted by the LED beads / light sources 154 is directed towards the working head, facilitating the user's alignment of the workpiece during operation. In this embodiment, the lighting module includes three light sources, and the lamp panel is C-shaped with the light sources evenly spaced on the lamp panel. By optimizing the structure of the lighting module, the lamp panel is mounted on the base of the end cover. This design avoids the heat from the gearbox being directly conducted to the lighting module during operation, thus improving the reliability of the lighting module.
