Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric screwdriver technology, and in particular to a gearbox with switchable reduction ratio. Background Technology
[0002] Electric screwdrivers, also known as power screwdrivers or electric screwdrivers, work by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. When the user presses the switch, the internal motor rotates, transmitting torque to the screwdriver bit via gear transmission. The bit then drives the screw to rotate, enabling the rapid installation and removal of screws. This has led to their widespread use in industries such as aerospace, automotive, machinery, and electronics. However, during use, the torque of the electric screwdriver needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation when tightening different types of screws. Because existing electric screwdrivers lack torque adjustment functionality, excessive torque can cause excessively high rotation speeds, resulting in wear and damage to the screw structure and making it difficult to meet the needs of installing and removing various types of screws.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a gearbox with switchable reduction ratio according to this utility model includes a reduction assembly 1, a screwdriver head 2 disposed on the reduction assembly 1, and a motor assembly 3 drivenly connected to the reduction assembly 1. The reduction assembly 1 includes a cylinder 11, a shifting member 12 movably disposed on the cylinder 11, and a first transmission assembly 13 disposed on the cylinder 11. The screwdriver head 2 is provided with an output head 21, which is connected to the first transmission assembly 13. One end of the shifting member 12 is connected to the output end of the motor assembly 3, and the other end of the shifting member 12 moves back and forth between the output head 21 and the first transmission assembly 13, so that the shifting member 12 can be drivenly connected to the output head 21 or the first transmission assembly 13 independently.
[0033] Before use, one end of the shifting component 12 is connected to the output end of the motor assembly 3, and the other end of the shifting component 12 moves back and forth between the output head 21 and the first transmission assembly 13. When the shifting component 12 is pushed, so that the shifting component 12 is connected to the first transmission assembly 13 alone, the shifting component 12 and the first transmission assembly 13 are in a disengaged state, so that the motor assembly 3 drives the first transmission assembly 13 to rotate through the shifting component 12. Since the output head 21 is connected to the first transmission assembly 13, the first transmission assembly 13 drives the screwdriver head 2 to rotate together through the output head 21, which plays a role in reducing speed and increasing torque for the screwdriver head 2, with a reduction ratio of 143:1. When the shifting component 12 passes through the first transmission assembly 13 and is connected to the output head 21 alone, the output head 21 directly drives the screwdriver head 2 to rotate. The first transmission assembly 13 only transmits torque and does not play a role in reducing speed, with a reduction ratio of 40:1. Therefore, by using a mechanical clutch, the speed of the screwdriver head 2 can be better adjusted and changed, with a significant speed adjustment effect and good practicality. This utility model has a compact and reasonable structure, and adopts a mechanical clutch structure to effectively adjust the speed. It is simple and efficient to operate and meets the needs of loading and unloading different types of screws.
[0034] The shift component 12 in this embodiment includes a shift key 121, a rotating rod 122 rotatably disposed on the shift key 121, a first connector 123 and a second connector 124 disposed on the rotating rod 122, and a guide hole 125 disposed on the shift key 121. The shift key 121 is provided with a rotating hole 126 for the rotating rod 122 to be fitted and installed. The cylinder 11 is provided with a guide rod 127. The shift key 121 is slidably connected to the guide rod 127 through the guide hole 125. The first connector 123 and the second connector 124 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the rotating rod 122. Specifically, the rotating rod 122 passes through the rotating hole 126 and is rotatably connected to the rotating hole 126, so that the rotating rod 122 rotates relative to the shift key 121. When the shift key 121 pushes back and forth relative to the cylinder 11, the shift key 121 slides through the guide hole 125 and the guide rod 127, which better guides the rotating rod 122 to move smoothly back and forth between the output head 21 and the first transmission assembly 13 through the first connector 123, and the rotating rod 122 moves back and forth relative to the motor assembly 3 through the second connector 124.
[0035] The first transmission assembly 13 in this embodiment includes a first planetary carrier 131, a first gear shaft 132 disposed on the first planetary carrier 131, a first planetary gear 133 disposed on the first gear shaft 132, and a gear transmission cylinder 134 meshing with the first planetary gear 133. The gear transmission cylinder 134 has an internal hollow structure. The rotating rod 122 passes through the gear transmission cylinder 134 through the first connector 123 to connect to the output head 21. The cylinder body 11 is provided with a first internal gear ring 14, which meshes with the first planetary gear 133. The cylinder body 11 is provided with a bearing 15, which is sleeved on the outside of the gear transmission cylinder 134. Specifically, the gear transmission cylinder 134 has an internal hollow structure, which not only provides the conveying force but also facilitates speed switching. Preferably, three first planetary gears 133 are respectively provided on the first gear shaft 132 and the first planetary gears 133. The three first planetary gears 133 are arranged around the circumference of the gear transmission cylinder 134. When the rotating rod 122 is connected to the gear transmission cylinder 134 through the first connector 123, the gear transmission cylinder 134 synchronously drives the three first planetary gears 133 to rotate together. Since the three first planetary gears 133 are respectively provided on the three first gear shafts 132, they drive the first planetary carrier 131 to rotate as a whole. Since the output head 21 is connected to the first planetary carrier 131, it drives the output head 21 to rotate. When the rotating rod 122 passes through the gear transmission cylinder 134 through the first connector 123 to connect to the output head 21, it directly drives the output head 21 to rotate, resulting in high transmission efficiency.
[0036] The motor assembly 3 in this embodiment includes a cavity 31, a main gear 32 disposed in the cavity 31, a motor 33 drivenly connected to the main gear 32, a second transmission assembly 34 meshing with the main gear 32, a third transmission assembly 35 drivenly connected to the second transmission assembly 34, and a second internal gear ring 36 disposed in the cavity 31. The second internal gear ring 36 is arranged around the circumference of the cavity 31, and both the second transmission assembly 34 and the third transmission assembly 35 mesh with the second internal gear ring 36. Specifically, the motor 33 drives the main gear 32 to rotate, and the rotating main gear 32 drives the second transmission assembly 34 to rotate. Since the second transmission assembly 34 is drivenly connected to the third transmission assembly 35, and the second internal gear ring 36 is arranged around the circumference of the cavity 31, the second transmission assembly 34 and the third transmission assembly 35 jointly rotate along the second internal gear ring 36 in an internal meshing manner. Then, the third transmission assembly 35 drives the rotating rod 122 to rotate. The structure is compact and has a strong load-bearing capacity, achieving efficient power transmission.
[0037] The second transmission assembly 34 in this embodiment includes a second planetary carrier 341, a transmission gear 342 disposed on one side of the second planetary carrier 341, a second gear shaft 343 disposed on the other side of the second planetary carrier 341, and a second planetary gear 344 disposed on the second gear shaft 343. The second gear shaft 343 and the second planetary gear 344 are each provided with three. The connection of the three second gear shafts 343 forms a triangle, and the connection of the three second planetary gears 344 forms a triangle. Specifically, three second planetary gears 344 are arranged around the circumference of the main gear 32. When the main gear 32 rotates, it synchronously drives the three second planetary gears 344 to rotate together. Since the three second planetary gears 344 are respectively set on the three second gear shafts 343, they drive the second planetary carrier 341 to rotate as a whole. The second planetary carrier 341 drives the third transmission component 35 to rotate through the transmission gear 342. The traditional three-stage planetary structure is adjusted to a two-stage structure with a reduction ratio of 100, which improves the transmission efficiency by 15%. The thickness is reduced, the assembly space is reduced, the structural design is optimized, and the manufacturing cost of the parts is greatly reduced. At the same time, the transmission accuracy is increased. Moreover, the structural design of the three second gear shafts 343 can greatly reduce the frictional resistance generated by the three second planetary gears 344 during rotation, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and transmission smoothness.
[0038] The third transmission assembly 35 in this embodiment includes a third planetary carrier 351, an output sleeve 352 disposed on one side of the third planetary carrier 351, a third gear shaft 353 disposed on the other side of the third planetary carrier 351, and a third planetary gear 354 disposed on the third gear shaft 353. The third gear shaft 353 and the third planetary gear 354 are respectively provided in threes. The connection line of the three third gear shafts 353 forms a triangle, and the connection line of the three third planetary gears 354 forms a triangle, so that the three third planetary gears 354 are arranged around the circumference of the transmission gear 342 and are connected to the transmission gear 342 for transmission. The output sleeve 352 is connected to the second connector 124. Specifically, three third planetary gears 354 are arranged around the circumference of the transmission gear 342 and are connected to the transmission gear 342 for transmission. When the transmission gear 342 rotates, it synchronously drives the three third planetary gears 354 to rotate together. Since the three third planetary gears 354 are respectively set on the three third gear shafts 353, they drive the third planetary carrier 351 to rotate as a whole, which helps the third planetary carrier 351 to drive the rotating rod 122 to rotate through the output sleeve 352, resulting in high transmission efficiency.
