Solution Overview

Problem

The existing driving work machines experience reduced workability due to vibration transmission from the tip tool to the housing, which is then felt by the operator's hand, affecting the efficiency of punching and drilling operations.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating an anti-vibration part, such as a rubber annular member, between the pushing part and the preventing part of the housing, to absorb and dampen the impact and vibration forces transmitted from the cylinder to the housing, thereby reducing the vibration and impact felt by the operator.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If the striking element collides with the intermediate element to transmit striking force to the tip tool, then the punching work capability is improved, but vibration is transmitted to the housing and operator's hand, reducing workability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestriking force transmission capabilityVSAvoidworkability
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a vibration isolation element as an intermediary component between the cylinder and the housing. This element acts as a mediator that allows the transmission of necessary mechanical forces while blocking the transmission of harmful vibrations to the housing and operator's hand, thus resolving the contradiction between power transmission capability and ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful vibration energy generated during striking operations into beneficial damping through the vibration isolation element. The element absorbs and dissipates the vibration energy, transforming what would be a harmful effect (vibration transmission) into a beneficial outcome (vibration reduction), thereby improving workability while maintaining striking force transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the cylinder is moved rearward by reactive force of the tip tool pressing against the workpiece, then the switching part moves rearward to switch operational state, but excessive rearward movement causes instability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational state switching capabilityVSAvoidcylinder positioning stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a preventing part that pre-establishes a physical limit to the rearward movement of the switching part. By providing this preliminary constraint, the system ensures that the switching part can move sufficiently to change operational states while preventing excessive movement that would compromise cylinder positioning stability, thus maintaining both adaptability and stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A workability of a driving work machine is improved by reduction in vibration transmitted to a housing. A driving work machine 10 includes: a cylinder 21 applying a rotational force to a tip tool; a piston 33 applying a striking force to the tip tool; a driving source generating a power; a switching part 61 making switching between at least two operational states including a rotational striking state of transmitting the power as a striking force and a rotational force to the tip tool and a rotational state of transmitting the power as the rotational force but not transmitting the power as the striking force to the tip tool; and a housing 12. The cylinder 21 includes a pushing part 46 pushing the switching part 61 rearward, the switching part 61 is able to switch an operational state of the cylinder 21 by the rearward movement caused by the pushing force of the pushing part 46, and a rubber annular member 72 serving as an anti-vibration part is arranged between the pushing part 46 and the preventing part 71.
