Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power tool technology, and more specifically, to an impact tool with a split gun body cover. Background Technology

[0002] Impact tools, such as impact wrenches, are widely used in automotive repair, construction, and other fields. They store energy through an internal rotating mass block and release it instantaneously to achieve high torque output to fasteners. These tools typically include key components such as a drive shaft, impact assembly, and body assembly. Traditional impact tools often use a one-piece cap structure, with the drive shaft encapsulated inside. When the drive shaft wears or is damaged due to prolonged high-load use, the entire tool often needs to be sent back to the manufacturer or a professional repair shop for disassembly and replacement. This not only results in long repair cycles and high costs but also seriously affects the user's work efficiency.

[0003] While common impact tools are constantly improving in terms of output torque and speed, their drive shaft interfaces are still limited by standard sizes. Users often need to purchase tools with multiple drive shaft sizes to accommodate different types of sockets. In addition, the traditional structure has a one-piece chamber design, making it difficult for ordinary users to replace the drive shaft themselves. This reduces the applicability of the tool and makes it inconvenient to use, failing to meet the needs of various work scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure of impact tools and provide a split gun body cover structure that allows users to quickly replace drive shafts of different sizes, so as to enhance the versatility and ease of maintenance of the tools, extend the service life of the tools, and reduce the cost of use.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an impact tool with a split gun body cover is provided. In a specific embodiment, the sealing ring 4 is sleeved on the annular portion of the front gun body cover 3 facing the rear gun body cover 6. The sealing ring 4 is used to form a seal and position when the front gun body cover 3 and the rear gun body cover 6 are engaged.

[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an impact tool with a split gun body cover is, in a specific embodiment, an impact wrench.

[0031] To facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the following detailed description of the above technical solutions of the present invention will be provided through specific usage methods.

[0032] In practical use, according to the present invention, an impact tool with a split-type gun body cover, the operator first selects the required size drive shaft. If the drive shaft needs to be replaced, use an Allen wrench or similar tool to loosen and remove the four screws securing the front and rear gun body covers. Remove the front gun body cover from the rear gun body cover, at which point the original drive shaft can be removed from the rear gun body cover's compartment. Then, install the selected new drive shaft into the rear gun body cover, ensuring it is properly installed. Next, close the front gun body cover onto the rear gun body cover, so that its internal oil-impregnated bushing is fitted onto the drive shaft, while the sealing ring within its surrounding groove forms a tight contact with the drive shaft surface. Finally, pass the four screws through the corresponding holes in the front gun body cover and screw them into the screw holes in the rear gun body cover, tightening them evenly to complete the fixation. At this point, the drive shaft replacement is complete, and the impact tool can be used normally.

[0033] This example uses a pneumatic impact wrench. The operator needs to replace the tool's original 3 / 8-inch drive shaft with a 1 / 2-inch drive shaft to accommodate a larger socket. First, turn off the air supply and ensure the tool is not in operation. Then, using a matching Allen wrench, unscrew the four Allen head screws connecting the front and rear gun body covers. Gently remove the front gun body cover, exposing the original drive shaft and impact assembly housed within the rear gun body cover. Remove the original drive shaft directly. Take out a brand new 1 / 2-inch drive shaft, with its output end facing outwards, and correctly insert it into the rear gun body cover, ensuring it engages properly with the internal hammer. Then, reposition and close the front gun body cover, allowing the drive shaft shaft to pass through the oiled bushing and be tightly encased by the seal. Finally, reinsert the four screws and tighten them evenly to restore the tool's integrity. Once the air supply is reconnected, the tool can output a greater torque that matches the 1 / 2-inch socket. The entire process requires no special tools or complicated operations and can be completed independently by the user on-site in a very short time.

[0034] In summary, by employing the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention, and through the detachable connection design of the front gun body cover and the rear gun body cover, users can quickly replace drive shafts of different specifications without disassembling the overall structure or requiring professional maintenance assistance. At the same time, the cooperation between the sealing ring and the oil-impregnated bushing effectively enhances the sealing effect and transmission stability, thereby significantly improving the ease of operation and work efficiency, extending the tool's service life, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
