Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electric tools suffer from ineffective hammering and energy loss due to the inclination of the impact rod, which leads to repeated impacting and reduced energy transfer efficiency, necessitating a solution to prevent such issues.

Innovation Solution

The electric tool incorporates a guide device with first and second guide parts, where the impact rod has varying radial sizes and angles of inclination to align with the air cylinder axis during impact, preventing the impact rod from disengaging from the locking part and reducing recoil forces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a gap is provided between the impact rod and support part to allow inclination, then the impact rod can be inclined to prevent repeated impacting, but energy transfer efficiency decreases when the impact hammer impacts the inclined impact rod

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprevention of repeated impactingVSAvoidenergy transfer efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The guide device enables the impact rod to dynamically adjust its inclination angle during the impact cycle. The impact rod transitions from an inclined state during backward movement to a substantially vertical state during forward impact, optimizing both prevention of repeated impacting and energy transfer efficiency at different stages of the cycle

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The inclination angle of the impact rod is changed as a variable parameter rather than being fixed. The guide device controls the inclination angle to be 0.2°-0.5° during backward movement and substantially 0° during forward impact, allowing the system to adapt to different operational requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of energy

If the impact rod is made substantially vertical during impact, then energy transfer efficiency is improved, but the impact rod cannot be inclined to prevent disengagement from locking part

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy transfer efficiencyVSAvoidprevention of disengagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The guide device enables the impact rod to dynamically adjust its inclination angle during the impact cycle. The impact rod transitions from an inclined state during backward movement to a substantially vertical state during forward impact, optimizing both prevention of repeated impacting and energy transfer efficiency at different stages of the cycle

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The impact rod is pre-inclined during the backward movement phase to prevent disengagement from the locking part, then returned to vertical position before forward impact occurs. This preliminary inclination action ensures reliability is maintained without compromising subsequent energy transfer efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
