Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hammer drill machines face challenges in achieving a compact design while maintaining a high reduction ratio for their gear mechanisms, often requiring additional components and increased space due to the angular arrangement of drive units and limited reduction capabilities in prior designs.
Innovation Solution
The use of a worm gear or plane spiral gear as the first gear unit, with a worm shaft or plane spiral wheel arranged coaxially with the tool receiving unit, allows for a high reduction ratio and compact design by minimizing the number of gear components and space requirements, and the second gear unit is designed as an eccentric drive to convert rotary movement into alternating linear movement for the impact mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If conventional gear units with limited reduction capability are used, then the number of components can be reduced, but the reduction ratio is insufficient and additional components are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting worm gears and bevel gears with specific geometric parameters (helix angle, tooth profile, module) to achieve a high reduction ratio of 5:1 to 10:1 in a single stage. This changes the fundamental parameters of the gear system from conventional low-ratio gears to high-ratio worm and bevel gears, eliminating the need for multiple gear stages while maintaining compact dimensions.
2Productivity
If additional gear components are added to achieve higher reduction ratio, then the reduction capability is improved, but the device complexity and housing space increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functions of multiple gear stages into a single integrated gear unit comprising worm gears and bevel gears. The worm gear provides the primary reduction while the bevel gear adjusts the output axis orientation, combining what would traditionally require separate gear stages into one compact assembly. This merging reduces the number of components while achieving the required high reduction ratio.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional gear arrangements are used, then the design is simple, but the housing space and device dimensions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes three-dimensional spatial arrangement by positioning the worm gear axis perpendicular to the drive shaft axis and employing bevel gears to redirect power transmission at angled orientations. This dimensional reconfiguration allows the gear unit to fit within compact housing space while maintaining efficient power transmission, transforming a planar gear arrangement into a spatial configuration that optimizes space utilization.
