Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a hand tool, particularly to a bidirectional wrench.
Background of the Invention
[0002] During the using of common hand tools such as screwdrivers and torque wrenches, there
is a movement limitation of the human hand in rotation direction, namely the inability
of the human hand to turn continuously in one direction. The operation of such a tool
which a rotation axis of the handle is coaxial with the tool's main shaft consists
of a repetition of the following cycle: first, the hand rotates the handle in the
desirable direction (e.g. tightening or loosening a screw); second, the hand rotates
in the opposite direction to reposition the tool for next cycle. During the second
portion of the above mentioned cycle, the hand's reversed rotation can be achieved
by re-grasping the handle after releasing it, or by the tool which is equipped with
an one-way means such as a ratchet surface to keep the main shaft stationary during
the reversed rotation of the handle, or by re-inserting the tool bit to the screw
after extracting the bit from engagement with the screw. However, in any case, the
hand's reversed rotation could not bring any effective advance of the fastener, and
therefore it becomes a wasted movement.
[0003] U. S. Pat. No. 5,931,062 discloses a mechanical rectifier, which comprises a shaft; two driving element mounted
on the shaft, each having a one-way clutch interposed between it and the shaft, with
the clutches oriented in the same way on the shaft so that the shaft is always entrained
in only one direction of rotation when either one of the two driving elements is rotated
in that direction, and the shaft is overrun by a driving element that is rotated in
the opposite direction; a rotation means positioned along the axis of the shaft and
engaging a selected one of the driving elements; and a reversing mechanism coupling
the two driving elements together and forcing them to always rotate in the opposite
directions so that one driving element entrains the shaft and the other driving element
overruns the shaft, thus causing the shaft to always turn in only one direction, regardless
of the direction of rotation of the driving elements, so that transfers the bidirectional
rotations of the rotation means (e.g. a handle) into the unidirectional rotation of
the shaft. The mechanical rectifier can efficiently utilize the rotations of the rotation
means in either way, i.e. no matter the handle rotates clockwise or anticlockwise,
the shaft rotates in the same direction, therefore it can improve the efficiency of
the hand motion, and save operation time.
[0004] However, the converting mechanism of the invention can only make the shaft rotate
in on direction, which could not meet the requirement of rotating the shaft in two
directions, such as, tightening or loosening a fastener in the application of a torque
wrench, the torque wrench equipped with the converting mechanism of the invention
could only get the result of tightening a fastener (or loosening a fastener) no matter
what operation it executes, either tightening or loosening a fastener, as the conventional
wrenches do. If you expect the torque wrench equipped with the converting mechanism
of the invention could executes the operation of tightening and loosening a fastener,
the considerable solution can only be that the two ends of the shaft of the torque
wrench are both mounted with output, and one end is to execute the operation of tightening
a fastener, the other to execute the operation of tightening a fastener. But this
design is cumbersome, it is inconvenient to choose appropriate output end when using
the torque wrench.

312 connect and be coaxial with each other, in this embodiment, the first ratchet
surface 311 is disposed in the inner circumference of the ring-shaped head 21 of the
handle 20, the driving gear engages with the head 21 of the handle 20, thus the head
21 will drive driving gear to rotate when the handle 20 rotates, in other embodiment,
the first ratchet surface 311 can be disposed in the inner circumference of capstan
gear 312; the second ratchet surface 321 can be disposed in the inner circumference
of follower gear 322. The faces of the first ratchet surface 311 and the second ratchet
surface 321 connect with the outer face of the main shaft 100; the capstan gear 312
and the follower gear 322 are face-gears, faces of the capstan gear 312 and the follower
gear 322 are face to face. The first ratchet 311, the second ratchet 321, the capstan
gear 312 and the follower gear 322 are coaxial and the center axes thereof overlap
in that of the main shaft 100.
[0033] The transmission seat 330 and the holding ring 102 are fixed together. The idle gear
331, 332 are mounted on the transmission seat 330, which is perpendicular to the main
shaft 100. The idle gear 331, 332 are matched between the capstan gear 312 and the
follower gear 322, their tooth engage with the tooth of the capstan gear 312 and the
follower gear 322 to drive respectively, when the holding ring 102 is fixed, or the
transmission seat 330 is fixed, the capstan gear 312 will drive the follower gear
322 to rotate via the idle gear 331, 332. In this embodiment, the idle gear 331, 332
are angle gears.
[0034] The structure of the reversing mechanism of the bidirectional wrench of the present
invention is shown in Figure 4, comprises a newel, a reversing switch consisting of
a first spring-loaded plunger 221 and a second spring-loaded plunger 222, a first
pawl element 211 and a second pawl element 212. Wherein, the newel 220 is fixed in
the main shaft 100, the first spring-loaded plunger 221 and the second spring-loaded
plunger 222 are fixed on the newel 220 in turn, the first spring-loaded plunger 221
and the second spring-loaded plunger 222 are perpendicular to the main shaft 100 along
the active direction, preferably, the first spring-loaded plunger 221 and the second
spring-loaded plunger 222 have elastic elements such as a spring. The first pawl element
211 and second pawl element 212 are fixed on the main shaft 100 across the countershaft
210, as shown in Figure 5, the countershaft 210 is parallel to the center axis of
the main shaft 100 but it does not overlap in it, the first pawl element 211 and the
second pawl element 212 can rotate round the countershaft 210.
[0035] The first pawl element 211 and the second pawl element 212 have a similar structure,
namely a first fan-shaped pawl, a second fan-shaped pawl and a fan-shaped space between
them. Take the first pawl element 211 for example, Figure 6 shows the top view of
the first pawl element 211 (direction towards the output end 101 along the main shaft
100), as can be seen from Figure 6, the first pawl element 211 consists of the first
fan-shaped pawl 2111, the second fan-shaped pawl 2112 and the fan-shaped space between
them. The fan-shaped face of the first fan-shaped pawl 2111, the fan-shaped space
center section and the fan-shaped face of the second fan-shaped pawl 2112 constitutes
the first surface of the first pawl element 211. The first pawl element 211 also has
a second surface which is a special shaped surface and contains a concave section
2113, which has a first side wall 2114 and a second side wall 2115, in this embodiment.
The first side wall 2114 and the second side wall 2115 extend along the main shaft
100. The first pawl element 211 has a hole 2101 which is matched with the countershaft
210, the countershaft 210 fixes the first pawl element 211 on the main shaft across
the hole 2101 (see Figure 5). In this embodiment, the hole 2101 is arranged on the
fan-shaped center section of the first pawl element 211, preferably, on the center
of gravity of the first pawl element 211. The structure of the second pawl element
212 is similar to the first pawl element 211, no more description, its thickness is
less than that of the first pawl element 211 in this embodiment, but in other embodiments,
its thickness can be equal to or more than that of the first pawl element 211.
[0036] The first surface of the first pawl element 211 and the second pawl element 212 face
to the first ratchet surface 311 and the second ratchet surface 321 respectively,
specifically, the tooth of the fan-shaped pawl (which contains the first fan-shaped
pawl 2111 and the second fan-shaped pawl 2112) of the first pawl element 211 face
to the tooth of the first ratchet 311, the tooth of the fan-shaped pawl (contains
the first fan-shaped pawl and the second fan-shaped pawl) of the second pawl element
212 face to the tooth of the second ratchet surface 321. The second surface of the
first pawl element 211 and the second pawl element 212 face to the surface of the
newel 220, specifically, the second surface of the first pawl element 211 faces to
the ball-head section of the first spring-loaded plunger 221, the second surface of
the second pawl element 212 faces to the ball-head section of the second spring-loaded
plunger 222. Across the newel 220, the ball-head section of the first spring-loaded
plunger 221 connects with the first side wall 2114 of the concave section 2113 of
the first pawl element 211, the ball-head section of the second spring-loaded plunger
222 connects with the first side wall of the concave section of the second pawl element
212, when the bidirectional wrench of the present invention is on the first working
mode; or, the ball-head section of the first spring-loaded plunger 221 connects with
the second side wall 2115 of the concave section 2113 of the first pawl element 211,
the ball-head section of the second spring-loaded plunger 222 connects with the second
side wall of the concave section of the second pawl element 212, when the bidirectional
wrench of the present invention is on the second working mode.
[0037] When the bidirectional wrench of the present invention is on the first working mode,
see Figure 7, the tooth of the first fan-shaped pawl 2111 of the first pawl element
211 connects with the tooth of the first ratchet surface 311, similarly, the tooth
of the first fan-shaped pawl of the second pawl element 212 connects with the tooth
of the second ratchet surface 321. When the head 21 of the handle 20 drives the first
ratchet surface 311 to rotate, when the moving direction of the first ratchet surface
311 beside the first fan-shaped pawl 2111 is from the first fan-shaped section 2111
to the second fan-shaped section 2112, namely the first ratchet surface 311 rotates
clockwise seen in the Figure 7, since the ball-head section of the first spring-loaded
plunger 221 connects with the first side wall 2114 of the concave section 2113 of
the first pawl element 211, the first ratchet surface 311 cannot drive the first pawl
element 211 to rotate, namely the tooth of the first fan-shaped pawl 2111 does not
engage with the tooth of the first ratchet surface 311; but when the moving direction
of the first ratchet surface 311 beside the first fan-shaped pawl 2111 is from the
second fan-shaped section 2112 to the first fan-shaped section 2111, namely the first
ratchet surface 311 rotates anticlockwise seen in the Figure 7, since the ball-head
section of the first spring-loaded plunger 221 connects with the first side wall 2114
of the concave section 2113 of the first pawl element 211, the first ratchet surface
311 can drive the first pawl element 211 to rotate, namely the tooth of the first
fan-shaped pawl 2111 engages with the tooth of the first ratchet surface 311. And
the rotation of the first pawl element 211 is transferred to the main shaft 100 through
the countershaft 210, thus driving the main shaft 100 to rotate.
[0038] Meanwhile, when the moving direction of the second ratchet surface 321 beside the
first fan-shaped pawl of the second pawl element 212 is from the first fan-shaped
section to the second fan-shaped section in the second pawl element 212, namely the
second ratchet surface 321 rotates clockwise, since the ball-head section of the second
spring-loaded plunger 222 connects with the first side wall of the concave section
of the second pawl element 212, the second ratchet surface 321 cannot drive the second
pawl element 212 to rotate, namely the tooth of the first fan-shaped pawl of the second
pawl element 212 does not engage with the tooth of the second ratchet surface 321;
but when the moving direction of the second ratchet surface 321 beside the first fan-shaped
pawl of the second pawl element 212 is from the second fan-shaped section to the first
fan-shaped section in the second pawl element 212, namely the second ratchet surface
321 rotates anticlockwise, since the ball-head section of the second spring-loaded
plunger 222 connects with the first side wall of the concave section of the second
pawl element 212, the second ratchet surface 321 can drive the second pawl element
212 to rotate, namely the tooth of the first fan-shaped pawl of the second pawl element
212 engages with the tooth of the second ratchet surface 321. And the rotation of
the second pawl element 212 is transferred to the main shaft 100 through the countershaft
210, thus driving the main shaft 100 to rotate.
[0039] Since the drive among the idle gear 331, 332, the capstan gear 312 and the follower
gear 322, when the holding ring is fixed, the rotation direction of the second ratchet
surface 321 is opposite to the first ratchet surface 311. It can be seen from this,
when the bidirectional wrench of the present invention is on the first working mode,
when the input torque from the working part 10 is a clockwise torque, it makes the
first ratchet surface 311 rotate clockwise and the second ratchet surface 321 rotate
anticlockwise, the first pawl element 211 does not engage with the first ratchet surface
311 and the second pawl element 212 engages with the second ratchet surface 321 at
the moment, thus the second pawl element 212 drives the main shaft 100 to rotate anticlockwise
and the output torque is an anticlockwise torque; when the input torque from the working
part 10 is an anticlockwise torque, it makes the first ratchet 311 rotate anticlockwise
and the second ratchet surface 321 rotate clockwise, the first pawl element 211 engages
with the first ratchet surface 311 and the second pawl element 212 does not engage
with the second ratchet surface 321 at the moment, thus the first pawl element 211
drives the main shaft 100 to rotate anticlockwise and the output torque is an anticlockwise
torque.
[0040] When the bidirectional wrench of the present invention is on the second working mode,
the tooth of the second fan-shaped pawl 2112 of the first pawl element 211 connects
with the tooth of the first ratchet surface 311, similarly, the tooth of the second
fan-shaped pawl of the second pawl element 212 connects with the tooth of the second
ratchet surface 321. When the head 21 of the handle 20 drives the first ratchet surface
311 to rotate, when the moving direction of the first ratchet surface 311 beside the
second fan-shaped pawl 2112 is from the first fan-shaped section 2111 to the second
fan-shaped section 2112, namely the first ratchet surface 311 rotates clockwise, since
the ball-head section of the first spring-loaded plunger 221 connects with the second
side wall 2115 of the concave section 2113 of the first pawl element 211, the first
ratchet surface 311 can drive the first pawl element 211 to rotate, namely the tooth
of the second fan-shaped pawl 2112 engages with the tooth of the first ratchet surface
311; and the rotation of the first pawl element 211 is transferred to the main shaft
100 through the countershaft 210, thus driving the main shaft 100 to rotate; but when
the moving direction of the first ratchet surface 311 beside the second fan-shaped
pawl 2112 is from the second fan-shaped section 2112 to the first fan-shaped section
2111, namely the first ratchet surface 311 rotates anticlockwise, since the ball-head
section of the first spring-loaded plunger 221 connects with the second side wall
2115 of the concave section 2113 of the first pawl element 211, the first ratchet
surface 311 cannot drive the first pawl element 211 to rotate, namely the tooth of
the second fan-shaped pawl 2112 does not engage with the tooth of the first ratchet
surface 311.
[0041] Meanwhile, when the moving direction of the second ratchet surface 321 beside the
second fan-shaped pawl of the second pawl element 212 is from the first fan-shaped
section to the second fan-shaped section in the second pawl element 212, namely the
second ratchet surface 321 rotates clockwise, since the ball-head section of the second
spring-loaded plunger 222 connects with the second side wall of the concave section
of the second pawl element 212, the second ratchet surface 321 can drive the second
pawl element 212 to rotate, namely the tooth of the second fan-shaped pawl of the
second pawl element 212 engages with the tooth of the second ratchet surface 321;
and the rotation of the second pawl element 212 is transferred to the main shaft 100
through the countershaft 210, thus driving the main shaft 100 to rotate. But when
the moving direction of the second ratchet surface 321 beside the second fan-shaped
pawl of the second pawl element 212 is from the second fan-shaped section to the first
fan-shaped section in the second pawl element 212, namely the second ratchet surface
321 rotates anticlockwise, since the ball-head section of the second spring-loaded
plunger 222 connects with the second side wall of the concave section of the second
pawl element 212, the second ratchet surface 321 cannot drive the second pawl element
212 to rotate, namely the tooth of the second fan-shaped pawl of the second pawl element
212 does not engage with the tooth of the f second ratchet surface 321.
[0042] Since the drive among the idle gear 331, 332, the driving gear 312 and the driven
gear 322, when the holding ring is fixed, the rotation direction of the second ratchet
surface 321 is opposite to the first ratchet surface 311. It can be seen from this,
when the bidirectional wrench of the present invention is on the second working mode,
when the input torque from the working part 10 is a clockwise torque, it makes the
first ratchet surface 311 rotate clockwise and the second ratchet surface 321 rotate
anticlockwise, the first pawl element 211 engages with the first ratchet surface 311
and the second pawl element 212 does not engage with the second ratchet surface 321
at the moment, thus the first pawl element 211 drives the main shaft 100 to rotate
clockwise and the output torque is a clockwise torque; when the input torque from
the working part 10 is an anticlockwise torque, it makes the first ratchet 311 rotate
anticlockwise and the second ratchet surface 321 rotate clockwise, the first pawl
element 211 does not engage with the first ratchet surface 311 and the second pawl
element 212 engages with the second ratchet surface 321 at the moment, thus the second
pawl element 212 drives the main shaft 100 to rotate clockwise and the output torque
is a clockwise torque.
[0043] As previously mentioned, the first working mode and the second working of the bidirectional
wrench of the present invention can be switched and selected via the newel 220. To
be convenient, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 8, the first end of the newel
220 has a knob 223, which would be matched with the newel 220 by embedding the two
ears (ear 2201 in Figure 8) of the newel 220 into the knob 223. In this way, the newel
220 will rotate when turning the knob 223. In this embodiment, two spines protrude
out of the surface of the knob 223, such as spine 2231, turning of the knob 223 can
be achieved by putting rotating torque on the two spines including the spine 2231.
[0044] The bidirectional wrench of the present invention also contains a blocking device,
which keeps the bidirectional wrench of the present invention on the working mode
selected until the operator switch it to the other mode artificially. In Figure 9
and 10, the blocking device in this embodiment consists of a ball 400 disposed between
the output end 101 and the second end of the newel 220, a groove matched with the
ball 400 on the second end of the newel 220, specifically, the first groove 410 and
the second groove 420. The first groove 410 and the second groove 420 are parallel
with each other and are separated by the smooth spine.
[0045] When the ball 400 is in the first groove 410, the head working part of the first
spring-loaded plunger 221 and the second spring-loaded plunger 222 keeps connecting
with the first side wall of the concave section of the first pawl element 211 and
the second pawl element 212 respectively, namely the first working mode of the bidirectional
wrench of the present invention; when the ball 400 is in the second groove 420, the
head working part of the first spring-loaded plunger 221 and the second spring-loaded
plunger 222 keeps connecting with the second side wall of the concave section of the
first pawl element 211 and the second pawl element 212 respectively, namely the second
working mode of the bidirectional wrench of the present invention. When turning the
knob 223 to rotate the newel 220 and let the ball 400 move from the first groove 410
to the second groove 420, the bidirectional wrench of the present invention turns
from the first working mode to the second working mode; when turning the knob 223
to rotate the newel 220 and let the ball 400 move from the second groove 420 to the
first groove 410, the bidirectional wrench of the present invention turns from the
second working mode to the first working mode. In this embodiment, the transmission
seat 330 engages with the holding ring 102 constantly, the transmission seat 330 is
fixed with respect to the holding ring 102, thus when the working part 20 rotates
with respect to the holding ring 102, the idle gear 331, 332 makes the follower gear
322 and the capstan 312 rotate in the opposite direction. In use, to keep the idle
gear 331, 332 working and make sure that the second ratchet surface 321 and the first
ratchet surface 311 rotate in the opposite direction, operator can orientate the transmission
seat 330 by holding the holding ring 102, thus the capstan gear 312 drives the idle
gear 331, 332 to rotate, and then drives the follower gear 322 to rotate, thereby
making the second ratchet surface 321 and first ratchet surface 311 rotate in the
opposite direction. It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present invention,
other methods can also be taken to position the transmission seat 330 and thus drive
the idle gear 331, 332 to work.
[0046] In addition, as described previously, the output end 101 of the bidirectional wrench
of the present invention can be a component, which is suitable to operate various
fasteners such as quoining screw, by mounting various sleeves, and the ball 400 in
the blocking device can also be used to block the various sleeves which are mounted
on the output end 101 at this moment.
