Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical manufacturing, and in particular to a handheld multi-screw synchronous tightening device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, especially in fields such as mechanical assembly, electronic equipment assembly, and automobile manufacturing, screw tightening is an extremely common and critical process. Traditional screw tightening methods mainly rely on manual tools (such as screwdrivers) or electric screwdrivers. While these methods are simple and easy to use, they are inconvenient to operate when multiple bolts need to be tightened simultaneously, requiring each bolt to be tightened one by one. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, a handheld multi-screw synchronous tightening device is needed to solve the problem of inconvenience in tightening bolts one by one.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the inventors provide a handheld multi-screw synchronous tightening device, comprising: a housing, a handwheel, and a transmission assembly;
[0005] The outer casing includes a housing and a plurality of supports. The housing has a cavity, and the bottom of the cavity has a plurality of first through holes. The plurality of supports are disposed on the sidewall of the cavity and located on one side of the housing. The supports have second through holes.
[0006] The handwheel is located on the other side of the housing, and the handwheel and the housing are coaxially arranged;
[0007] The transmission assembly includes an internal gear and multiple external gears. The internal gear is disposed in the cavity. The external gear meshes with the internal gear and is rotatably disposed on the bracket. Each external gear corresponds to one bracket and one first through hole. The external gear has a connecting hole for connecting bolt heads. The connecting hole, the first through hole, and the second through hole are arranged opposite each other.
[0008] Furthermore: the bracket includes a support arm and a support portion, one end of the support arm is disposed on the side wall of the cavity, the other end of the support arm is disposed on the side wall of the support portion, the support portion supports the rotatable external gear, and the support portion has the second through hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the bracket and the housing are integrally formed.
[0010] Furthermore: the external gear has a circular groove between the teeth and the connecting hole, and the bracket has a circular protrusion that extends into the groove and is rotatably connected to the groove.
[0011] Furthermore: the internal gear has 62 teeth, and the external gear has three teeth, each with 12 teeth.
[0012] Furthermore, the housing also includes a handle, which is disposed on the housing.
[0013] Furthermore: the handwheel is inserted into the housing.
[0014] Furthermore: the handwheel has a socket at its shaft center, and the housing has a plug at its shaft center on the side facing the handwheel. The socket center is inserted into the plug, and the socket center and the plug are non-circular.
[0015] Furthermore: the internal gear is engaged in the cavity, and the internal gear has a base plate on the side of the teeth near the handwheel, the base plate serving as the bottom of the cavity.
[0016] Furthermore: the cross-section of the outer periphery of the internal gear is triangular, and the shape of the sidewall of the cavity is adapted to the shape of the outer periphery of the internal gear;
[0017] The connection hole is an internal hexagonal hole.
[0018] Unlike existing technologies, the above solution involves aligning each bolt head with a specific connecting hole. The user rotates the handwheel, causing the internal gear to rotate, which in turn drives multiple external gears to rotate synchronously. This allows multiple screwdriver heads to rotate simultaneously, tightening multiple bolts at once. This single operation enables the tightening of multiple bolts, significantly reducing assembly time and improving work efficiency.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a handheld multi-screw synchronous tightening device, including: a housing 1, a handwheel 2, and a transmission assembly 3;
[0043] The outer casing 1 includes a housing 11 and a plurality of supports 12. The housing 11 has a cavity 111. The bottom of the cavity 111 has a plurality of first through holes 13. The plurality of supports 12 are disposed on the side wall of the cavity 111 and located on one side of the housing 11. The supports 12 have second through holes 14.
[0044] Handwheel 2 is located on the other side of housing 11, and handwheel 2 and housing 11 are coaxially arranged;
[0045] The transmission assembly 3 includes an internal gear 31 and multiple external gears 32. The internal gear 31 is disposed in the cavity 111. The external gears 32 mesh with the internal gears 31 and are rotatably disposed on the bracket 12. Each external gear 32 corresponds to one bracket 12 and one first through hole 13. The external gear 32 has a connecting hole 321 for connecting bolt heads. The connecting hole 321, the first through hole 13, and the second through hole 14 are arranged opposite each other.
[0046] The outer casing 1 is a protective structure for the device, connecting the handwheel 2 and also concealing the internal transmission assembly 3 for an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The transmission assembly 3 is a crucial component of the device, requiring synchronized tightening and, within permissible limits, the ability to be disassembled to any size.
[0047] In use, each bolt head is aligned with a connecting hole 321. The user turns the handwheel 2, which drives the internal gear 31 to rotate, thereby driving multiple external gears 32 to rotate synchronously. This allows multiple screwdriver heads to rotate simultaneously, tightening multiple bolts at the same time. Multiple bolts can be tightened simultaneously in a single operation, greatly reducing assembly time and improving work efficiency.
[0048] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In this embodiment, the bracket 12 includes a support arm 121 and a support portion 122. One end of the support arm 121 is disposed on the side wall of the cavity 111, and the other end of the support arm 121 is disposed on the side wall of the support portion 122. The support portion 122 supports the rotatable external gear 32 and has a second through hole 14. Figure 3 As shown, the support arm 121 is long and narrow, and the support part 122 is annular. The inner ring of the annular part serves as the second through hole 14. The second through hole 14 can determine the position of the bolt and also prevent the bolt from sliding and thus failing to lock.
[0049] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the bracket 12 and the housing 11 are integrally formed, which avoids the weak connection between the separate bracket 12 and the housing 11 and enhances the overall rigidity.
[0050] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the external gear 32 has a circular groove 322 between its teeth and the connecting hole 321. The bracket 12 has a circular protrusion 17 that extends into the groove 322 and is rotatably connected to it. A slight gap is left between the groove 322 and the protrusion 17 to ensure smooth rotation. The protrusion 17 fixes the gear to the bracket 12, fixing its three translational degrees of freedom so that it cannot move, and provides a certain thickness. In some embodiments, the positions of the groove and the protrusion are interchanged.
[0051] In some other embodiments, rotation between the support and the housing can be achieved via bearings.
[0052] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the internal gear 31 has 62 teeth, and the external gear 32 has three teeth, each with 12 teeth.
[0053] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the outer shell 1 also includes a handle 15, which is disposed on the outer shell 11. The handle 15 can be integrally molded or assembled separately on the outer shell 11, and its shape conforms to ergonomic design for easy gripping.
[0054] Please see Figure 7 In this embodiment, the handwheel 2 is inserted into the housing 11. The insertion can be completed without tools, thus improving the efficiency of operation.
[0055] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8In this embodiment, the handwheel 2 has a hole 21 on its shaft and a block 16 on the shaft of the side of the housing 11 facing the handwheel 2. The hole 21 and the block 16 are inserted into each other. The hole 21 and the block 16 are non-circular, which can effectively prevent the handwheel 2 from sliding circumferentially with the housing 11. Figure 7 As shown, the plug 16 and the socket 21 are square. The user aligns the handwheel 2 with the plug 16 on the housing 11 and pushes it in axially so that the plug 16 is inserted into the socket 21. Then the user can rotate the handwheel 2, and the plug 16 drives the socket 21 to rotate synchronously, thereby transmitting the rotational motion to the transmission component 3 inside the housing 11.
[0056] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the internal gear 31 is engaged in the cavity 111. After engagement, the internal gear 31 is stably fixed in the cavity 111, and there is no relative rotation between the internal gear 31 and the housing 11 support 12. The internal gear 31 has a base plate 312 on the side of the teeth near the handwheel 2, which serves as the bottom of the cavity 111. The internal gear 31 has two parts: the part near the external gear 32 is the teeth (i.e., the internal gear ring), and the part near the handwheel 2 is the base plate 312, which has a first through hole 13.
[0057] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the cross-section of the outer periphery of the internal gear 31 is triangular 311, with a three-dimensional shape similar to a spindle, protruding in the middle and narrowing at both ends, and the structure is as follows. Figure 8 As shown. The shape of the sidewall of cavity 111 matches the shape of the outer periphery of internal gear 31, and its cross-section is also triangular, as shown in the structure. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, this allows the internal gear 31 to engage and remain fixed.
[0058] In this embodiment, the connecting hole 321 is an internal hexagonal hole, which is adapted to the hexagonal bolt head.
[0059] In this embodiment, the components of the handheld multi-screw synchronous tightening device are manufactured and designed using 3D printing technology. For the internal gear transmission, although the material support is relatively increased compared to the external gear, it can effectively connect to the outer shell as an internal transmission device, reducing the number of printed parts, resulting in a compact structure that meets the requirements of 3D printing. Compared to other mechanisms, gear transmission has significant advantages in this design. Gear transmission structures are simple and easy to design; the internal gear transmission can connect to the outer shell; and it has a high degree of integration, conforming to the characteristics of 3D printing. Because the outer shell is connected to the internal gear, we adopted an integrated design method to separate the outer shell from the internal gear for the handle and handwheel connection, allowing for direct assembly. Rotational cutting is performed at the connection between the cavity and the internal gear, followed by slicing. The support angle can be set to less than 30° in the software, thus avoiding support at this point. Because the upper part contains gears, printing in mid-air would reduce its accuracy, so we used the handwheel connection as the base for printing. Furthermore, printing with the handwheel connection as the base provides a larger printing support area.
[0060] This product generates minimal waste during the 3D printing process and is extremely easy to disassemble, achieving the goal of integrating 3D printing with printing technology. This product also includes a handheld multi-screw synchronous tightening device. Its design utilizes a mechanical transmission mechanism, showcasing the product's practicality and convenience, enabling its application in everyday life.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
