BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a handheld power tool, and in particular, to a handheld
power tool with an axial striking function.
Related Art
[0002] In striking drill products with an axial striking function, different striking structures
have different striking effects. In a conventional striking structure, a pair of dynamic
and static end teeth are used, a main striking force is from an abutting force, which
is applied by an operator, between a tool spindle and a working surface, and the dynamic
end tooth fixedly connected to the tool spindle forms axial movement, which is relative
to axial slope ascending of the static end tooth, of the tool spindle. Compared with
the striking structure of the dynamic and static end teeth, an active striking structure
has a greater striking force. During the striking, axial striking on the tool spindle
is implemented by the active striking structure, rather than relying on an operator
to apply an abutting force between the tool spindle and the working surface. A common
active striking structure is a cam-type active striking structure. That is, a striking
drill uses a cam structure to make a hammer first perform slope ascending before striking,
to compress a spring to store energy, and then the spring releases the stored energy
to the hammer to make the hammer rapidly move in an axial direction and then hit the
tool spindle. During the continuous rotation of the cam structure, the above actions
are repeated, which can further provide the tool spindle with an intermittent axial
striking force. Therefore, an active striking technology is a technology to replace
the conventional dynamic-and-static-end-tooth striking technology to achieve high
efficiency and a great breaking force of striking and drilling and improve user experience.
Moreover, during research and development of the active striking structure, how to
obtain higher drilling efficiency is also a difficult problem and an opportunity faced
by related fields, and a space for improvement is also provided.
[0003] US 2014/020921 A1 relates to a handheld power tool, disclosing the preamble of claim 1, having a mechanical
impact mechanism which has an impact member provided with at least one drive cam and
an output shaft which is provided with at least one output cam and which is connected
to a tool receptacle for accommodating a tool, the drive cam being designed for the
percussive drive of the output cam during the impact operation of the mechanical impact
mechanism, the impact member having the drive cams is mounted upstream from the output
cams in an axial direction of the output shaft pointing away from the tool receptacle.
SUMMARY
[0004] The invention is defined by the claims.
[0005] The present invention provides a handheld striking drill with high striking and drilling
efficiency. A combination of two parameters is optimized through selection of a quantity
of slope ascending tracks for the cam in the active striking structure and the range
of the rotational speed of the tool spindle, so that a handheld power tool with a
striking function obtains relatively high striking and drilling efficiency, thereby
improving user experience.
[0006] The present invention provides a technical solution with a hand-held tool according
to claim 1.
[0007] Preferably, there are two to four slope ascending portions.
[0008] Preferably, there are three slope ascending portions.
[0009] Preferably, the slope ascending portion includes a start point and an end point,
and a distance between projections of the start point and the end point on an axis
is 4 mm to 15 mm.
[0010] Preferably, the distance is preferably 4 mm to 8 mm.
[0011] Preferably, the curve guide is circumferentially provided on an inner circumferential
surface of the guide member, and the conversion member is provided on an outer circumferential

Example 1
[0021] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 26, a handheld tool 1 includes a motor 60, a transmission
shaft 10, a hammer striking mechanism 20, and a tool spindle 30.
[0022] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 9, FIG. 13, FIG. 17 to FIG. 18, FIG.
21, FIG. 23, and FIG. 25 to FIG. 26, the motor 60 may drive the transmission shaft
10 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 10 may rotate around an axis of the transmission
shaft 10. The hammer striking mechanism 20 includes a hammer 200, the hammer 200 is
sleeved over an outer side of the transmission shaft 10, and the hammer 200 can be
driven by the transmission shaft 10 to rotate. It may be understood that the motor
60 is connected to the transmission shaft 10, and the "connect" mentioned here may
refer to that the motor 60 is directly connected to the transmission shaft 10. For
example, an output end of the motor 60 may be directly connected to an end portion
of the transmission shaft 10. The "connect" may also refer to that the motor 60 is
indirectly connected to the transmission shaft 10. For example, the motor 60 may be
directly connected to an intermediate transmission component, and then be directly
connected to the transmission shaft 10 through the intermediate transmission component.
[0023] The motor 60 may drive the transmission shaft 10 to rotate, that is, the motor 60
may drive the transmission shaft 10 to rotate around a central axis of the transmission
shaft 10. The hammer 200 may be sleeved over an outer wall of the transmission shaft
10, the hammer 200 may be connected to the transmission shaft 10 in a matching manner,
and the transmission shaft 10 may further drive the hammer 200 to rotate around the
axis of the transmission shaft 10. It should be noted that, the "connect" mentioned
here may refer to that the hammer 200 is directly connected to the transmission shaft
10, or refer to that the hammer 200 is indirectly connected to the transmission shaft
10. As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 9, the handheld tool 1 further includes a tool spindle
30, one end of the tool spindle 30 is connected to the transmission shaft 10, the
other end is used for connecting to a tool head, and the tool spindle 30 is movable
relative to the transmission shaft 10. The tool spindle 30 and the transmission shaft
10 may be movably connected together. For example, the tool spindle 30 may move relative
to the transmission shaft 10 in an axis direction of the transmission shaft 10, and
they are connected without relative rotation, that is, the tool spindle 30 is driven
by the transmission shaft 10 to rotate. It should be noted that, as shown in FIG.
27, the hammer 200 may also be sleeved over an outer side of the tool spindle 30,
or a part thereof is sleeved over an outer side of the tool spindle 30, and a part
thereof is sleeved over an outer side of the transmission shaft 10.
[0024] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 to FIG. 13, the hammer striking mechanism 20 further
includes a guide member 210 provided on an outer side of the hammer 200, and an intermittent
striking component 230. When the hammer 200 rotates, the intermittent striking component
230 guides the hammer 200 to linearly move relative to the guide member 210 according
to a preset path and to hit the tool spindle 30 in at least one operating state. In
other words, the hammer striking mechanism 20 includes a hammer 200, a guide member
210, and an intermittent striking component 230. The guide member 210 is sleeved over
a peripheral wall of the hammer 200. Preferably, to enable the hammer 200 to produce
a required hammering force when it hits the tool spindle 30, a weight of the hammer
200 is greater than or equal to 10% of a sum of weights of a chuck 50 and the tool
spindle 30. To ensure that the tool is not too heavy and the overall structure is
compact, preferably, the weight of the hammer 200 is less than or equal to 60% of
the sum of the weights of the chuck 50 and the tool spindle 30. More preferably, the
weight of the hammer 200 is less than or equal to 35% of the sum of the weights of
the chuck 50 and the tool spindle 30.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 25 to FIG. 26, the tool spindle 30 is fixedly connected to the chuck
50 by threaded connection. Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the tool spindle
30 close to the chuck 50 is provided with an external thread 300, the chuck 50 is
provided with a threaded hole 500 matching the external thread 300, and the tool spindle
30 and the chuck 50 are connected through the external thread 300 and the threaded
hole 500. It should be noted that, the motor 60 drives the tool spindle 30 to rotate
in either a first direction (forward) or a second direction (reverse) opposite to
the first direction. To prevent the threaded connection between the tool spindle 30
and the chuck 50 from detaching during operation, a reverse screw 90 is further provided
between the chuck 50 and the tool spindle 30. The "reverse screw 90" here means that
the thread direction of the screw is opposite to that of the external thread 300.
In the connection manner, the hammering force of the hammer 200 on the tool head needs
to be transmitted to the tool head through the reverse screw 90, that is, the hammer
200 transmits the hammering force to the tool spindle 30, then transmits the hammering
force to the reverse screw 90 through the tool spindle 30, and finally transmits the
hammering force to the working head through the reverse screw 90. Therefore, the loss
of the hammering force transmitted to the working head through the hammer 200 is large.
[0026] Therefore, another connection manner between the tool spindle 30 and the chuck 50
is disclosed. Referring to FIG. 21, compared with the above connection manner between
the tool spindle 30 and the chuck 50, the reverse screw 90 is removed in this connection
manner, a binder is applied between the external thread 300 and the threaded hole
500 to prevent the tool spindle 30 from detaching from the tool head during operation,
and at the same time, the tool spindle 30 includes a protruding portion in the front
(not marked in the figure) for abutting the tool head, so that striking can be directly
transmitted to the tool head from the tool spindle 30, reducing the energy loss during
the striking.
[0027] When the hammer 200 rotates, the intermittent striking component 230 may control
a motion path of the hammer 200, and the motion path can not only make the hammer
200 rotate around the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft 10, but
also make the hammer 200 move along the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10,
so that the hammer 200 can hit the tool spindle 30, and then the movement of the tool
spindle 30 relative to the transmission shaft 10 is completed.
[0028] The handheld tool 1 is provided with a guide member 210 and an intermittent striking
component 230, the hammer 200 may be guided to linearly move by using a matching relationship
between the intermittent striking component 230, the hammer 200, and the guide member
210, and the hammer 200 may further hit the tool spindle 30 to achieve the movement
of the tool spindle 30 in the axis direction, so that when the tool spindle 30 drills
in an environment component (such as a wall or a plate), the tool spindle 30 forms
a striking force on the environment component to improve the drilling efficiency of
the handheld tool 1. Moreover, the handheld tool 1 may be compact and simple in structure,
and may be convenient to carry.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, the intermittent striking
component 230 includes an energy storage mechanism 231 abutting the hammer 200 and
an conversion member 232 and a curve guide 233 that are provided between the guide
member 210 and the hammer 200. The intermittent striking component 230 further includes
an energy storage mechanism 231, the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233
are both located between the guide member 210 and the hammer 200, and one end of the
energy storage mechanism 231 abuts the hammer 200. Therefore, a motion trajectory
of the conversion member 232 may be guided by constructing the specific shape of the
curve guide 233, the conversion member 232 may be linked with the hammer 200, and
the hammer 200 moves along the trajectory of the curve guide 233 under the action
of the conversion member 232.
[0030] Further, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 17 to FIG. 18, the transmission shaft 10 may
be provided with a baffle 100, the baffle 100 is sleeved over a peripheral wall of
the transmission shaft 10, the energy storage mechanism 231 is located between the
hammer 200 and the baffle 100, and one end of the energy storage mechanism 231 away
from the hammer 200 may be matched with the baffle 100. After the hammer 200 moves
by a certain distance toward the energy storage mechanism 231, the hammer 200 and
the baffle 100 may compress the energy storage mechanism 231. Therefore, the energy
storage mechanism 231 may generate a driving force on the hammer 200. Certainly, other
structures may be alternatively used for the axial limiting manner of the energy storage
mechanism 231, and details are not described herein again.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, the curve guide 233 may be annular, and the curve
guide 233 may circumferentially surround the transmission shaft 10. Specifically,
the curve guide 233 may include a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending portion
233b, one end of the descending portion 233b is connected to one end of the slope
ascending portion 233a, and the other end of the descending portion 233b extends toward
the other end of the slope ascending portion 233a. Further, the slope ascending portion
233a may be spiral, the descending portion 233b may be linear, and the descending
portion 233b extends along the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10. Preferably,
to ensure that the hammer 200 generates a sufficient striking force on the tool spindle
30 and that the handheld tool 1 is compact, a slope ascending height of the slope
ascending portion 233a in an axial direction is greater than 3 mm and less than or
equal to 15 mm. Preferably, the slope ascending height is greater than or equal to
4 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm. Preferably, the slope ascending height is 5 mm.
It should be noted that, the "slope ascending height" refers to an axial distance
between the two ends of the slope ascending portion 233a in the axis direction of
the transmission shaft 10.
[0032] When the conversion member 232 is matched with the slope ascending portion 233a,
the conversion member 232 rolls from one end of the slope ascending portion 233a to
the other end of the slope ascending portion 233a, the hammer 200 moves toward the
baffle 100, and the hammer 200 and the baffle 100 may compress the energy storage
mechanism 231. When the conversion member 232 is located on the other end of the slope
ascending portion 233a and rolls toward the descending portion 233b, the energy storage
mechanism 231 may push the hammer 200 to descend from one end of the descending portion
233b close to the baffle 100 to the other end of the descending portion 233b close
to the tool head, that is, the hammer 200 rapidly descends in a direction away from
the baffle 100 and close to the tool head, and a part of the hammer 200 approaches
and hits a portion of the tool spindle 30 on an outer side of the transmission shaft
10, so that the tool spindle 30 moves relative to the transmission shaft 10 in the
axis direction of the transmission shaft 10, and the hammer 200 hammers the tool spindle
30 and the tool head.
[0033] Further, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 15, an end surface of the hammer 200 close to
the energy storage mechanism 231 may be provided with a mounting groove 203, an end
portion of the energy storage mechanism 231 may be located in the mounting groove
203, and the end portion of the energy storage mechanism 231 may abut a bottom wall
of the mounting groove 203. Therefore, the assembly stability of the energy storage
mechanism 231 and the hammer 200 may be improved.
[0034] As shown in FIG. 12, the curve guide 233 may include a plurality of segments, and
each of the plurality of segments includes a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending
portion 233b. There may be a plurality of conversion members 232, and the plurality
of conversion members 232 may be arranged at intervals along a circumferential direction
of the hammer 200. In this embodiment, to ensure rationality of the overall design
of the handheld tool 1, the outer diameter of the hammer 200 is between 15 mm and
50 mm. Preferably, the outer diameter of the hammer 200 is between 20 mm and 40 mm,
and the slope ascending height is greater than 3 mm and less than or equal to 15 mm.
Preferably, the slope ascending height is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than
or equal to 8 mm. More preferably, the slope ascending height is 5 mm. It may be understood
that, to ensure smooth slope ascending of the conversion member 232, preferably, the
quantity of the segments ranges from 2 to 7, particularly advantageously from 3 to
4, and the quantity of the segments of the slope ascending portion 233a in this embodiment
is preferably 3.
[0035] It should be noted that, it may be known from the above introduction that the conversion
member 232 and the curve guide 233 are located between the hammer 200 and the guide
member 210. Specifically, the conversion member 232 is located on one of the guide
member 210 and the hammer 200, and the curve guide 233 is located on the other of
the guide member 210 and the hammer 200. As shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 18, in some other
examples, the conversion member 232 may be located on the guide member 210, and the
curve guide 233 is located on the hammer 200. For example, an inner circumferential
wall of the guide member 210 is provided with an accommodating groove 211, a part
of the conversion member 232 may be located in the accommodating groove 211, a peripheral
wall of the hammer 200 may be provided with a curve guide 233, and another part of
the conversion member 232 may be matched with the curve guide 233. As shown in FIG.
16 to FIG. 18, in some other examples, the conversion member 232 may be located on
the guide member 210, and the curve guide 233 is located on the hammer 200. For example,
an inner circumferential wall of the guide member 210 is provided with an accommodating
groove 211, a part of the conversion member 232 may be located in the accommodating
groove 211, a peripheral wall of the hammer 200 may be provided with a curve guide
233, and another part of the conversion member 232 may be matched with the curve guide
233. Therefore, an assembly relationship between the conversion member 232, the curve
guide 233 and the hammer 200, the guide member 210 may be implemented, and then the
relative motion of the hammer 200 relative to the guide member 210 may be implemented
by using the matching relationship between the conversion member 232 and the curve
guide 233 and the relative motion between the conversion member 232 and the curve
guide 233. The hammer 200 may move relative to the transmission shaft 10 in the axis
direction of the transmission shaft 10. The motion trajectory of the conversion member
232 in the curve guide 233 is the preset path of the hammer 200.
[0036] In this implementation, the hammer 200 rotates, the guide member 210 is fixed and
does not rotate, and the rotation of the hammer 200 and the curve guide 233 relative
to the guide member 210 makes the hammer 200 move in an axial direction, and then
strike the tool spindle 30 under the action of the energy storage mechanism 231. During
the striking, the conversion member 232 provided on an inner circumference surface
of the guide member 210 has no position movement, and may rotate within the accommodating
groove 211 without motion relative to a position change.
[0037] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 16, and FIG. 19, , the conversion member 232 may be provided
as a steel ball. As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, preferably, to ensure the strength
of the steel ball, the diameter of the steel ball is greater than 4 mm and less than
or equal to 10 mm. More preferably, the diameter of the steel ball is greater than
4 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm. The diameter of the steel ball is 5 mm in this
embodiment. The curve guide 233 may be provided as a cam surface or a cam groove.
Therefore, the cam surface or the cam groove may define a movement trajectory of the
steel ball, and the steel ball may move on the cam surface or in the cam groove. The
steel ball has a smooth outer surface, which may reduce the relative motion friction
between the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233 and improve movement smoothness
of the conversion member 232 in the curve guide 233. Moreover, the steel ball has
a great structural strength and a good abrasion resistance performance, which may
guarantee the working performance of the intermittent striking component 230. It should
be noted that, the "cam" mentioned here may refer to that the curve guide 233 protrudes
from the inner circumferential wall of the guide member 210, or the curve guide 233
protrudes from the peripheral wall of the hammer 200.
[0038] Further, the steel ball may be in point or line contact with the curve guide 233.
It may be understood that as the steel ball moves in the curve guide 233, the steel
ball is always in point or line contact with the curve guide 233, which helps to reduce
the friction between the steel ball and the curve guide 233. For example, the radius
of curvature of the cam surface may be basically the same as or slightly greater than
the radius of the steel ball, so as to improve the matching between the steel ball
and the cam surface, and then improve the assembly stability, the wear resistance,
and the service life of the steel ball and the cam surface.
[0039] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 16, and FIG. 19, , the energy storage mechanism 231 may
be provided as an elastic member. For example, the energy storage mechanism 231 may
be a spring or an elastic rubber member. Therefore, the configuration and assembly
of the energy storage mechanism 231 may be simplified, and the manufacturing costs
of the energy storage mechanism 231 may also be reduced.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, , the hammer striking
mechanism 20 further includes a detachable clutch mechanism 220, and the clutch mechanism
220 is configured to transmit rotational motion between the transmission shaft 10
and the hammer 200. It may be understood that the clutch mechanism 220 may be matched
with the hammer 200, the clutch mechanism 220 may also be detached from the hammer
200, and when the clutch mechanism 220 is matched with the hammer 200, the rotational
motion of the transmission shaft 10 may be transmitted to the hammer 200 through the
clutch mechanism 220 to drive the hammer 200 to rotate; and when the clutch mechanism
220 is detached from the hammer 200, that is, the matching relationship between the
clutch mechanism 220 and the hammer 200 is relieved, the transmission shaft 10 may
rotate relative to the hammer 200, and the hammer 200 is static relative to the guide
member 210. Therefore, the motion of the hammer 200 may be controlled through the
clutch mechanism 220 to control whether the hammer 200 hits the tool spindle 30, and
then control the working mode of the tool spindle 30.
[0041] Further, the clutch mechanism 220 may be configured to be closed by a force transmitted
through the tool spindle 30. That is, when the tool head is in a working condition
(with an axial load), the clutch mechanism 220 can automatically close to achieve
striking, and the handheld tool 1 is in a striking state. Therefore, whether a matching
relationship exists between the clutch mechanism 220 and the hammer 200 may be controlled
through the tool spindle 30, and the tool spindle 30 may apply an external force to
the clutch mechanism 220 to change the relationship between the clutch mechanism 220
and the hammer 200. Therefore, the working state of the handheld tool 1 may be easily
switched without an additional control structure.
[0042] Further, the clutch mechanism 220 operably switches between a closed state and a
detached state. When the clutch mechanism 220 is in the closed state, the hammer 200
is driven by the transmission shaft 10 to rotate; and when the clutch mechanism 220
is in the detached state, the hammer 200 cannot be driven by the transmission shaft
10. It may be understood that the tool spindle 30 may control the working state of
the clutch mechanism 220 to enable the clutch mechanism 220 to be engaged with the
hammer 200 or disengaged from the hammer 200, and the clutch mechanism 220 may switch
between the two states under the action of the tool spindle 30. When the clutch mechanism
220 is engaged with the hammer 200, the transmission shaft 10 may drive the hammer
200 to rotate, and when the clutch mechanism 220 is detached from the hammer 200,
the hammer 200 cannot be driven by the transmission shaft 10. Therefore, the motion
of the hammer 200 may be controlled through the clutch mechanism 220 to implement
that the handheld tool 1 automatically implements a striking function or enters the
striking state when operating with a load.
[0043] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, the clutch mechanism
220 includes a clutch member 221 provided on one of the transmission shaft 10 and
the hammer 200, and a receiving portion 201 provided on the other of the transmission
shaft 10 and the hammer 200. When the clutch mechanism 220 is in an engagement state,
the clutch member 221 is engaged with the receiving portion 201 through a shape matching
manner, and when the clutch mechanism 220 is in a disengagement state, the clutch
member 221 is detached from the receiving portion 201.
[0044] It may be understood that the clutch mechanism 220 includes a clutch member 221 and
a receiving portion 201, one of the transmission shaft 10 and the hammer 200 is provided
with the clutch member 221, and the other is provided with the receiving portion 201.
When the clutch mechanism 220 is in an engagement state, the clutch member 221 is
matched with the receiving portion 201, and when the clutch mechanism 220 is in a
disengagement state, the clutch member 221 is detached from the receiving portion
201. Therefore, the working state of the clutch mechanism 220 may be switched through
the assembly relationship between the clutch member 221 and the receiving portion
201.
[0045] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, the clutch member 221
may be configured to be in a shape of a ball or a column, and the receiving portion
201 may be configured to be a tank 201a. The ball or column has a smooth outer surface,
and the smooth outer surface has less friction during the movement, making it easier
to switch the state of the clutch member 221. The receiving portion 201 being provided
as a tank 201a not only facilitates the configuration, but also facilitates the matching
with the clutch member 221. For example, a part of the inner circumferential wall
of the hammer 200 is recessed toward a radial outer side of the hammer 200 to form
the receiving portion 201. Further, a bottom wall of the tank 201a may form a cambered
surface, and the cambered surface may be recessed toward the radial outer side of
the hammer 200. Therefore, the tank 201a may wrap a part of the clutch member 221,
thus improving the matching stability of the clutch member 221 and the tank 201a.
[0046] The tool spindle 30 may be axially movable relative to the transmission shaft 10
but may be connected without relative rotation. In other words, in the circumferential
direction of the transmission shaft 10, the tool spindle 30 and the transmission shaft
10 are relatively static or rotate together during rotation, and in the axis direction
of the transmission shaft 10, the tool spindle 30 is movable relative to the transmission
shaft 10. Therefore, the transmission shaft 10 may drive the tool spindle 30 to rotate
in the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft 10, and the tool spindle
30 may further slide in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10.
[0047] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, how the clutch mechanism 220 is closed or detached
when the tool spindle 30 axially moves relative to the transmission shaft 10 and how
the tool spindle 30 is axially movable relative to the transmission shaft 10 but is
connected to the transmission shaft without rotation are described in detail below
with reference to the accompanying drawings. The tool spindle 30 may be moved from
a first position to a second position by an axial force. When the tool spindle 30
is at the second position, the hammer 200 can be driven by the transmission shaft
10 to rotate and can move along a preset path relative to the guide member 210, thereby
hitting the tool spindle 30 along the axis of the tool spindle in at least one operating
state; and when the tool spindle 30 is at the first position, the transmission shaft
10 cannot drive the hammer 200 to rotate. The tool spindle 30 includes a connecting
end connected to the transmission shaft 10, and an output end connected to the tool
head. A side of the transmission shaft 10 close to the connecting end is provided
with a cavity 120 including an axial opening, and the cavity 120 may extend in the
axis direction of the transmission shaft 10. The connecting end of the tool spindle
30 extends from the opening into the cavity 120, and an inner wall of the cavity 120
and an outer wall of the connecting end of the tool spindle 30 are matched through
a spline 370 axially extending, so that the tool spindle 30 may axially move relative
to the transmission shaft 10 and can rotate with the transmission shaft 10. Specifically,
as shown in FIG. 2, an outer wall of the tool spindle 30 and an inner wall of the
cavity 120 are provided with ribs 340, and adjacent ribs 340 on the tool spindle 30
form a recess 350 radially recessed, so that the inner wall of the cavity 120 may
be matched with the recess 350.
[0048] Still referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, a sidewall of
the cavity 120 is provided with a radial hole 110, the radial hole 110 runs through
the sidewall of the cavity 120 in a radial direction of the transmission shaft 10,
the clutch member 221 is located in the radial hole 110 and can move in the radial
hole 110, and the inner circumferential wall of the hammer 200 may be provided with
the receiving portion 201. When the clutch mechanism 220 is in an engagement state,
that is, referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 15, when the tool spindle 30 moves to the first
position, the radial hole 110 corresponds to the position of the recess 350, and the
clutch member 221 moves along the radial hole 110 in a direction away from the receiving
portion 201 of the hammer 200 and close to the recess 350, to make the clutch member
221 disengaged from the hammer 200. Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, when the tool
spindle moves to the second position, the recess 350 no longer corresponds to the
position of the radial hole 110, that is, there is no longer space for accommodating
the clutch member 221 at the position corresponding to the radial hole on the tool
spindle 30, the tool spindle 30 extrudes the clutch member 221 during the movement
to make the clutch member 221 move along the radial hole 110 toward a direction close
to the receiving portion 221 of the hammer, making a part of the clutch member located
in the radial hole 110 and the other part located in the receiving portion 201, and
the hammer 200 may rotate with the transmission shaft 10 under the action of the clutch
member 221. It should be noted that, the cavity 120 may also be located at the connecting
end of the tool spindle 30, one end, which is connected to the tool spindle 30, of
the transmission shaft 10 extends into the cavity 120, and the implementation may
be described in detail in the specification below.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 9, and FIG. 13, the tool spindle 30 is provided with a striking
receiving portion 400 matching the hammer 200. It may be understood that the tool
spindle 30 may be provided with a striking receiving portion 400, and the hammer 200
may hit the striking receiving portion 400. Therefore, the hammer 200 may drive the
tool spindle 30 to move by hitting the striking receiving portion 400, so as to enable
the tool spindle 30 to drive the tool head to move relative to the transmission shaft
10 in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10.
[0050] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the striking receiving portion 400 may be annular, the
striking receiving portion 400 is fixed to a peripheral wall of the tool spindle 30,
the striking receiving portion 400 is located outside the transmission shaft 10, and
the striking receiving portion 400 is connected to the tool spindle 30. For example,
the striking receiving portion 400 may be clamped with the tool spindle 30, or the
striking receiving portion 400 may be welded to the tool spindle 30. Therefore, when
the hammer 200 hits the tool spindle 30, a contact area between the striking receiving
portion 400 and the hammer 200 may be increased, so as to improve the stability of
an impact force applied by the hammer 200 to the striking receiving portion 400.
Example 2
[0051] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 30, a handheld tool 1 includes a housing 80, a motor 60,
a transmission shaft 10, a tool spindle 30, and a hammer striking mechanism 20.
[0052] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5, FIG. 13, FIG. 21, FIG. 23, and FIG. 25 to FIG. 27, the
transmission shaft 10 may be driven by the motor 60 to rotate, and the transmission
shaft 10 may rotate around its axis. The tool spindle 30 is used for connecting to
a tool head, and the tool spindle 30 can be driven by the transmission shaft 10 to
rotate. The hammer striking mechanism 20 includes a hammer 200, and the hammer 200
is sleeved over an outer side of at least one of the transmission shaft 10 and the
tool spindle 30 and can be driven by the transmission shaft 10 to rotate. In other
words, the hammer 200 shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5, FIG. 13, FIG. 21, FIG. 23, and FIG.
25 to FIG. 26 may be sleeved over the transmission shaft 10, or as shown in FIG. 27,
the hammer 200 may be sleeved over the tool spindle 30, or the hammer 200may be sleeved
over both the transmission shaft 10 and the tool spindle 30. The transmission shaft
10 may directly or indirectly drive the hammer 200 to rotate.
[0053] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5, FIG. 13, FIG. 21, FIG. 23, and FIG. 25 to FIG. 27, the
hammer striking mechanism 20 further includes a guide member 210, and the guide member
210 is sleeved over an outer side of the hammer 200. The tool spindle 30 may be switched
from a first position to a second position by an axial force. In other words, an external
force in the axis direction of the tool spindle 30 exists to act on the tool spindle
30, so that the tool spindle 30 can switch from the first position to the second position.
When the tool spindle 30 is at the second position, the hammer 200 can be driven by
the transmission shaft 10 to rotate and can move relative to the guide member 210
along a preset path, so as to hit the tool spindle 30 along an axis of the tool spindle
30 in at least one operating state. When the tool spindle 30 is at the first position,
the transmission shaft 10 cannot drive the hammer 200 to rotate.
[0054] According to the handheld tool 1, the position of the tool spindle 30 can be switched
by applying a force along its axis direction to the tool spindle 30, then the relationship
between the hammer 200 and the transmission shaft 10 can be controlled, further, the
hammer 200 is guided through an intermittent striking component 230 to linearly move,
and the hammer 200 can further hit the tool spindle 30 to achieve the movement of
the tool spindle 30 in the axis direction, so that when the tool spindle 30 drills
in an environment component (such as a wall or a plate), the tool spindle 30 forms
a striking force on the environment component to improve the drilling efficiency of
the handheld tool 1. Moreover, the handheld tool 1 is compact and simple in structure,
and is convenient to carry.
[0055] As shown in FIG. 25 to FIG. 27, , two ends of the tool spindle 30 are a connecting
end 380 and an output end 390 respectively. The connecting end 380 is connected to
the transmission shaft 10, and the output end 390 is connected to the tool head. When
an axial force on the tool spindle 30 is in a direction from the output end 390 to
the connecting end 380, in other words, when the force on the tool spindle 30 is in
the direction from the output end 390 of the tool spindle 30 to the connecting end
380, the tool spindle 30 can switch to the second position for matching relative to
the transmission shaft 10. When the force on the tool spindle 30 is in a direction
from the connecting end 380 of the tool spindle 30 to the output end 390, the tool
spindle 30 switches to the first position for matching relative to the transmission
shaft 10. Therefore, the position state of the tool spindle 30 may be switched through
an acting direction of the external force applied to the tool spindle 30, thereby
switching the working state of the handheld tool 1.
[0056] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5, FIG. 13, FIG. 21, FIG. 23, and FIG. 25 to FIG. 27, the
handheld tool 1 further includes a mode adjustment mechanism 40. The mode adjustment
mechanism 40 operably switches between a first mode state and a second mode state.
In the first mode state, the tool spindle 30 can switch between the first position
and the second position relative to the transmission shaft 10. That is, when the mode
adjustment mechanism 40 is in the first mode state, the handheld tool 1 can generate
an axial striking under the action of an axial load, and the mode is hereinafter referred
to as a "striking mode." In the second mode state, the tool spindle 30 axially abuts
the mode adjustment mechanism 40 to limit the tool spindle 30 to switch from the first
position to the second position. That is, when the mode adjustment mechanism 40 is
in the second mode state, the handheld tool 1 generates no striking regardless of
whether the tool spindle 30 is under an axial load, and the mode is hereinafter referred
to as a "non-striking mode."
[0057] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5, FIG. 13, FIG. 21, FIG. 23, and FIG. 25 to FIG.
27, the handheld tool 1 further includes a mode adjustment mechanism 40. The mode
adjustment mechanism 40 operably switches between a first mode state and a second
mode state. When the mode adjustment mechanism 40 is in the first mode state, the
guide member 210 is fixed to the housing 80, that is, the guide member 210 is static
relative to the housing 80, and the hammer 200 can move along the guide member 210
according to a preset path to hit the tool spindle 30 during rotation. When the mode
adjustment mechanism 40 is in the second mode state, the guide member 210 is rotatably
provided on the housing 80, that is, the guide member 210 is movable relative to the
housing 80, and the hammer 200 does not strike the tool spindle 30. Therefore, the
operating state of the guide member 210 may be controlled by controlling the state
of the mode adjustment mechanism 40, so as to control the matching relationship between
the hammer 200 and the guide member 210 and then control the working state of the
hammer 200 to implement switching of the working state of the handheld tool 1.
[0058] As shown in FIG. 19 to FIG. 20, the mode adjustment mechanism 40 includes a first
tooth pattern 212 provided on the guide member 210, and a striking switching member
provided with a second tooth pattern 431. The striking switching member is axially
movable but is fixed in the housing 80 of the handheld tool 1 without rotation. Specifically,
the striking switching member is a striking switching ring 430, and the striking switching
ring 430 is movably sleeved over the hammer 200. When the mode adjustment mechanism
40 is in the first mode state, the first tooth pattern 212 is engaged with the second
tooth pattern 431; and when the mode adjustment mechanism 40 is in the second mode
state, the first tooth pattern 212 is disengaged from the second tooth pattern 431.
[0059] It may be understood that the striking switching ring 430 is sleeved over the hammer
200, the striking switching ring 430 and the hammer 200 are relatively movable, the
striking switching ring 430 is provided with a second tooth pattern 431, the guide
member 210 is provided with a first tooth pattern 212, and the first tooth pattern
212 may be connected to the second tooth pattern 431 in a matching manner, so as to
connect the guide member 210 to the striking switching ring 430. In this case, the
striking switching ring 430 may limit the motion of the guide member 210, the guide
member 210 and the striking switching ring 430 are relatively static, and the hammer
200 may linearly move relative to the guide member 210 according to a preset path
and hit the tool spindle 30 in at least one operating state.
[0060] The first tooth pattern 212 may also be spaced from the second tooth pattern 431
by switching the position of the striking switching ring 430. In this case, the guide
member 210 is movable relative to the striking switching ring 430, the guide member
210 is driven by the intermittent striking component 230 and may rotate with the hammer
200, and the hammer 200 and the guide member 210 are relatively static. Therefore,
the position relationship and the assembly relationship between the guide member 210
and the striking switching ring 430 may be adjusted by adjusting the matching relationship
between the first tooth pattern 212 and the second tooth pattern 431, so as to control
a motion state of the guide member 210 and then improve a motion state of the tool
spindle 30 to control the working mode of the handheld tool 1.
[0061] Further, as shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 21 to FIG. 26, the mode adjustment mechanism
40 further includes a cushioning member 440. One end of the cushioning member 440
abuts the striking switching ring 430 to constantly push the striking switching ring
430 to move toward the guide member 210. Therefore, the cushioning member 440 may
constantly push the striking switching ring 430 to approach the guide member 210,
so as to enable the first tooth pattern 212 to be matched with the second tooth pattern
431.
[0062] Further, as shown in FIG. 19 to FIG. 24, the mode adjustment mechanism 40 further
includes a mode switching button 450. The mode switching button 450 is rotatably sleeved
over the striking switching ring 430. The mode switching button 450 is rotatable relative
to the striking switching ring 430. An inner circumferential wall of the mode switching
button 450 is provided with a guide block 451, and a peripheral wall of the striking
switching ring 430 is provided with a mating block 432 matching the guide block 451.
The mode switching button 450 is rotated, when the guide block 451 axially abuts the
mating block 432, the guide block 451 pushes against the striking switching ring 430
to compress the cushioning member 440 to move in a direction away from the guide member
210, and the first tooth pattern 212 is spaced from the second tooth pattern 431;
and when the guide block 451 is staggered from the mating block 432, the striking
switching ring 430 moves in a direction close to the guide member 210 under the action
of the cushioning member 440, and the first tooth pattern 212 is engaged with the
second tooth pattern 431.
[0063] It may be understood that the position relationship between the mode switching button
450 and the striking switching ring 430 may be switched by rotating the mode switching
button 450 or the striking switching ring 430, so as to change a matching state between
the guide block 451 and the mating block 432. Therefore, the matching relationship
between the first tooth pattern 212 and the second tooth pattern 431 may be controlled
by switching the matching relationship between the guide block 451 and the mating
block 432. Further, as shown in FIG. 20, the guide block 451 has a guide bevel 451a
to guide the mating block 432. Therefore, the matching relationship between the guide
block 451 and the mating block 432 may be conveniently switched.
[0064] Alternatively, the mode switching mechanism 40 may also use other structures. Specifically,
referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, FIG. 9, and FIG. 13, the mode switching mechanism 40
includes a pressure stop ring 410 and a mode adjustment button 420. The pressure stop
ring 410 is sleeved over the transmission shaft 10, and is specifically sleeved over
the striking receiving portion 400, the pressure stop ring 410 is rotatable relative
to the transmission shaft 10 but cannot axially move, and the mode adjustment button
420 is rotatably sleeved over the pressure stop ring 410. The pressure stop ring 410
is provided with an abutting stop portion 411. An inner circumferential wall of the
mode adjustment button 420 is provided with a channel 422 suitable for the abutting
stop portion 411 to move past, and the channel 422 extends in the axis direction of
the transmission shaft 10.
[0065] When the mode adjustment mechanism 40 is in the first mode state, the abutting stop
portion 411 stops and abuts against the mode adjustment button 420; and when the mode
adjustment mechanism 40 is in the second mode state, the abutting stop portion 411
corresponds to the position of the channel 422, and the tool spindle 30 can drive
the pressure stop ring to move in the axial direction of the tool spindle. Therefore,
the motion state of the hammer 200 may be adjusted by adjusting the relative position
relationship between the abutting stop portion 411 of the pressure stop ring 410 and
the mode adjustment button 420, so as to adjust the working mode of the tool spindle
30. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 4, the mode adjustment button 420 further
includes a flange 421 provided on an inner circumferential wall of the mode adjustment
button 420, the flange 421 is annular and extends in a circumferential direction of
the pressure stop ring 410, and the channel 422 runs through the flange 421 in an
axis direction of the pressure stop ring 410. Therefore, the channel 422 may be constructed
from the flange 421, and the flange 421 may also stop and abut against the abutting
stop portion 411.
[0066] As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 4, the abutting stop portion 411 includes a fixed segment
411a, a connecting segment 411b, and a mating segment 411c. The fixed segment 411a
extends out of the pressure stop ring 410, one end of the connecting segment 411b
is connected to the fixed segment 411a, one end of the mating segment 411c is connected
to the other end of the connecting segment 411b, the mating segment 411c is adapted
to move past the channel 422, and the fixed segment 411a and the connecting segment
411b are spaced apart in the axis direction of the pressure stop ring 410. Further,
a part of the connecting segment 411b connected to the fixed segment 411a smoothly
transits; or a part of the connecting segment 411b connected to the mating segment
411c smoothly transits.
[0067] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, a peripheral wall of the striking receiving portion
400 has a step surface 404, and the pressure stop ring 410 stops and abuts against
the step surface 404. Therefore, the step surface 404 may limit the motion of the
pressure stop ring 410 to prevent the pressure stop ring 410 from detaching from the
striking receiving portion 400.
[0068] As shown in FIG. 25 to FIG. 27, one end of the transmission shaft 10 connected to
the connecting end 380 is a transmission end 130, one of the connecting end 380 and
the transmission end 130 is provided with an axial hole 360, and the other end portion
extends into the axial hole 360. For example, an end surface of the transmission end
130 of the transmission shaft 10 may be provided with an axial hole 360, the axial
hole 360 extends in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10, the axial hole
360 is open toward the connecting end 380 of the tool spindle 30, and an end portion
of the connecting end 380 of the tool spindle 30 may extend into the axial hole 360.
In another example, the connecting end 380 of the tool spindle 30 may be provided
with an axial hole 360, the axial hole 360 extends in the axis direction of the tool
spindle 30, the axial hole 360 is open toward the transmission end 130 of the transmission
shaft 10, and an end portion of the transmission end 130 of the transmission shaft
10 may extend into the axial hole 360. The connection manner of providing an opening
on the connecting end of the tool spindle 30 to facilitate the transmission shaft
10 to perform insertion has been described in Embodiment 1, and details are not described
herein again. A connection manner of providing an opening on the surface of the transmission
end of the transmission shaft 10 is described in detail below.
[0069] As shown in FIG. 25 to FIG. 27, an inner wall of the axial hole 360 and an outer
wall of the other end portion are provided with splines 370 for implementing torque
transmission between the transmission shaft 10 and the tool spindle 30. Therefore,
the stability of the connection between the transmission shaft 10 and the tool spindle
30 can be improved; moreover, not only can the rotation of the tool spindle 30 and
the transmission shaft 10 in the circumferential direction be transmitted, but also
the tool spindle 30 and the transmission shaft 10 can relatively move in the axis
direction.
[0070] Further, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 25 to FIG. 27, a radial recess may be formed
between the splines 370 on the other end portion that extends into the axial hole
360, and an outer wall of the axial hole 360 is provided with a radial hole 110; when
the tool spindle 30 is at the first position, the radial hole 110 corresponds to the
position of the radial recess, and the steel ball may at least partially fall into
the radial recess and detach from the hammer; and when the tool spindle 30 is subject
to an axial force from the output end 390 to the connecting end 380, that is, when
the tool spindle 30 is at the second position, the radial hole 110 no longer corresponds
to the radial recess, and the steel ball moves along the radial hole 110 and is connected
to the hammer 200 to enable the transmission shaft to drive the hammer 200 to rotate.
Therefore, by controlling the relative position relationship between the steel ball
and the radial recess, the matching relationship between the hammer 200 and the tool
spindle 30 or the transmission shaft 10 can be controlled, then the motion state of
the hammer 200 can be controlled, and then the working state of the tool spindle 30
can be controlled, to switch the working mode of the handheld tool 1.
[0071] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5, FIG. 13, FIG. 21, FIG. 23, and FIG. 25 to FIG. 27, the
hammer striking mechanism 20 further includes an intermittent striking component 230.
When the transmission shaft 10 drives the hammer 200 to rotate, the intermittent striking
component 230 forces the hammer 200 to linearly move relative to the guide member
210 according to a preset path and to hit the tool spindle 30 in at least one operating
state. It may be understood that the intermittent striking component 230 may be matched
with the hammer 200, or the intermittent striking component 230 may be matched with
the guide member 210. When the transmission shaft 10 drives the hammer 200 to rotate,
the intermittent striking component 230 may change a motion path of the hammer 200,
and the motion path can not only make the hammer 200 rotate around the circumferential
direction of the transmission shaft 10, but also make the hammer 200 move along the
axis direction of the transmission shaft 10, so that the hammer 200 can hit the tool
spindle 30, and then the sliding of the tool spindle 30 relative to the transmission
shaft 10 is completed.
[0072] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, the intermittent striking
component 230 includes an energy storage mechanism 231 abutting the hammer 200 and
an conversion member 232 and a curve guide 233 that are provided between the guide
member 210 and the hammer 200. It may be understood that the intermittent striking
component 230 includes an energy storage mechanism 231, an conversion member 232,
and a curve guide 233, the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233 are both
located between the guide member 210 and the hammer 200, and one end of the energy
storage mechanism 231 abuts the hammer 200. Therefore, a motion trajectory of the
conversion member 232 may be guided by constructing the specific shape of the curve
guide 233, the conversion member 232 may be linked with the hammer 200, the hammer
200 may drive the conversion member 232 to rotate in the circumferential direction
of the transmission shaft 10, and the conversion member 232 may drive the hammer to
rotate along the trajectory of the curve guide 233.
[0073] Further, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 17 to FIG. 18, the transmission shaft 10 may
be provided with a baffle 100, the baffle 100 is sleeved over a peripheral wall of
the transmission shaft 10, the energy storage mechanism 231 is located between the
hammer 200 and the baffle 100, and one end of the energy storage mechanism 231 away
from the hammer 200 may be matched with the baffle 100. After the hammer 200 moves
by a certain distance toward the energy storage mechanism 231, the hammer 200 and
the baffle 100 may compress the energy storage mechanism 231. Therefore, the energy
storage mechanism 231 may generate a driving force on the hammer 200.
[0074] As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, the curve guide 233 may be annular, and the curve
guide 233 may circumferentially surround the transmission shaft 10. The curve guide
233 may include a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending portion 233b, one
end of the descending portion 233b is connected to one end of the slope ascending
portion 233a, and the other end of the descending portion 233b extends toward the
other end of the slope ascending portion 233a. Further, the slope ascending portion
233a may be spiral, the descending portion 233b may be linear, and the descending
portion 233b extends along the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10. At least
a part of the conversion member 232 may be matched with the curve guide 233. Preferably,
to ensure that the hammer generates a sufficient striking force on the tool spindle
30 and that the handheld tool 1 is compact, a slope ascending height of the slope
ascending portion 233a in an axial direction is greater than 3 mm and less than or
equal to 20 mm. Preferably, a slope ascending height is between 4 mm and 15 mm. Preferably,
the slope ascending height is 10 mm.
[0075] When the conversion member 232 is matched with the slope ascending portion 233a,
the conversion member 232 rolls from one end of the slope ascending portion 233a to
the other end of the slope ascending portion 233a, the hammer 200 moves toward the
baffle 100, and the hammer 200 and the baffle 100 may compress the energy storage
mechanism 231. When the conversion member 232 is located on the other end of the slope
ascending portion 233a and rolls toward the descending portion 233b, the energy storage
mechanism 231 may push the hammer 200 to descend from one end of the descending portion
233b close to the baffle 100 to the other end of the descending portion 233b close
to the tool head, that is, the hammer 200 moves toward a direction away from the baffle
100 and close to the tool head, and a part of the hammer 200 approaches and hits a
portion of the tool spindle 30 on an outer side of the transmission shaft 10, so that
the tool spindle 30 moves relative to the transmission shaft 10 in the axis direction
of the transmission shaft 10, and the hammer 200 hammers the tool spindle 30 and the
tool head.
[0076] Further, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 15, an end surface of the hammer 200 close to
the energy storage mechanism 231 may be provided with a mounting groove 203, an end
portion of the energy storage mechanism 231 may be located in the mounting groove
203, and the end portion of the energy storage mechanism 231 may abut a bottom wall
of the mounting groove 203. Therefore, the assembly stability of the energy storage
mechanism 231 and the hammer 200 may be improved.
[0077] As shown in FIG. 12, the curve guide 233 may include a plurality of segments, and
each of the plurality of segments includes a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending
portion 233b. There may be a plurality of conversion members 232, and the plurality
of conversion members 232 may be arranged at intervals along a circumferential direction
of the hammer 200. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the hammer 200 is between
20 mm and 40 mm, and the sloping ascending height is greater than 3 mm and less than
or equal to 15 mm. Preferably, the slope ascending height is greater than or equal
to 4 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm. More preferably, the slope ascending height
is 5 mm. It may be understood that, to ensure smooth slope ascending of the conversion
member 232, preferably, the quantity of the segments ranges from 2 to 7, particularly
advantageously from 3 to 4, and the quantity of the segments of the slope ascending
portion 233a in this embodiment is preferably 3.
[0078] It should be noted that, the assembly positions and assembly relations of the conversion
member 232 and the curve guide 233 on the hammer 200 and the guide member 210 are
not specifically limited. The conversion member 232 may be located on one of the guide
member 210 and the hammer 200, and the curve guide 233 is located on the other of
the guide member 210 and the hammer 200. Therefore, an assembly relationship between
the conversion member 232, the curve guide 233 and the hammer 200, the guide member
210 may be implemented, and then the relative motion of the hammer 200 relative to
the guide member 210 may be implemented by using the matching relationship between
the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233 and the relative motion between
the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233. The hammer 200 may move relative
to the transmission shaft 10 in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10. The
motion trajectory of the conversion member 232 in the curve guide 233 is the preset
path of the hammer 200.
[0079] As shown in FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, the conversion member 232 may be located on the hammer
200, and the curve guide 233 is located on the guide member 210. For example, as shown
in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, a peripheral wall of the hammer
200 may be provided with an insertion groove 202, a part of the conversion member
232 may be located in the insertion groove 202, an inner circumferential wall of the
guide member 210 is provided with a curve guide 233, and another part of the conversion
member 232 may be matched with the curve guide 233.
[0080] As shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 18, the conversion member 232 may be located on the guide
member 210, and the curve guide 233 is located on the hammer 200. For example, an
inner circumferential wall of the guide member 210 is provided with an accommodating
groove 211, a part of the conversion member 232 may be located in the accommodating
groove 211, a peripheral wall of the hammer 200 may be provided with a curve guide
233, and another part of the conversion member 232 may be matched with the curve guide
233.
[0081] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 16, and FIG. 19, the conversion member 232 may be provided
as a steel ball. As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, preferably, to ensure the strength
of the steel ball, the diameter of the steel ball is greater than 4 mm and less than
or equal to 10 mm. Advantageously, the diameter of the steel ball is greater than
4 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm. The diameter of the steel ball is 5 mm in this
embodiment. The curve guide 233 may be provided as a cam surface or a cam groove.
Therefore, the cam surface or the cam groove may define a movement trajectory of the
steel ball, and the steel ball may move on the cam surface or in the cam groove. The
steel ball has a smooth outer surface, which may reduce the relative motion friction
between the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233 and improve movement smoothness
of the conversion member 232 in the curve guide 233. Moreover, the steel ball has
a great structural strength and a good abrasion resistance performance, which may
guarantee the working performance of the intermittent striking component 230. It should
be noted that, the "cam" mentioned here may refer to that the curve guide 233 protrudes
from the inner circumferential wall of the guide member 210, or the curve guide 233
protrudes from the peripheral wall of the hammer 200.
[0082] Further, the steel ball may be in point or line contact with the curve guide 233.
It may be understood that as the steel ball moves in the curve guide 233, the steel
ball is always in point or line contact with the curve guide 233, which helps to reduce
the friction between the steel ball and the curve guide 233. For example, the radius
of curvature of the cam surface may be basically the same as or slightly greater than
the radius of the steel ball, so as to improve the matching between the steel ball
and the cam surface, and then improve the assembly stability, the wear resistance,
and the service life of the steel ball and the cam surface.
[0083] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 16, and FIG. 19, the energy storage mechanism 231 may be
provided as an elastic member. For example, the energy storage mechanism 231 may be
a spring or an elastic rubber member. Therefore, the configuration and assembly of
the energy storage mechanism 231 may be simplified, and the manufacturing costs of
the energy storage mechanism 231 may also be reduced. Further, the energy storage
mechanism 231 may be formed as a ring, and the energy storage mechanism 231 may be
sleeved over a peripheral wall of the transmission shaft 10. Therefore, the assembly
of the energy storage mechanism 231 is easy, and the force applied by the energy storage
mechanism 231 to the hammer 200 can be even.
Example 3
[0084] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 30, a handheld tool 1 includes a motor 60, a transmission
shaft 10, a hammer striking mechanism 20, and a tool spindle 30.
[0085] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 5, the transmission shaft 10 is
driven by the motor 60 rotate and rotates around an axis of the transmission shaft
10. In other words, the motor 60 drives the transmission shaft 10 to rotate, and the
transmission shaft 10 rotates around the axis of the transmission shaft 10. It may
be understood that the motor 60 is connected to the transmission shaft 10, It should
be noted that, the "connect" mentioned here may refer to that the motor 60 is directly
connected to the transmission shaft 10. For example, an output end of the motor 60
may be directly connected to an end portion of the transmission shaft 10. The "connect"
may also refer to that the motor 60 is indirectly connected to the transmission shaft
10. For example, the motor 60 may be directly connected to an intermediate transmission
component, and then be directly connected to the transmission shaft 10 through the
intermediate transmission component.
[0086] The tool spindle 30 is axially movable relative to the transmission shaft 10 but
is connected to the transmission shaft without relative rotation. In other words,
in the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft 10, the tool spindle 30
and the transmission shaft 10 are relatively static, and in the axis direction of
the transmission shaft 10, the tool spindle 30 is movable relative to the transmission
shaft 10. The transmission shaft 10 may drive the tool spindle 30 to rotate in the
circumferential direction of the transmission shaft 10, and the tool spindle 30 may
further slide in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10.
[0087] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 to FIG. 13, the hammer striking mechanism 20 includes
a hammer 200, and the hammer 200 is sleeved over an outer side of the transmission
shaft 10, and can be driven by the transmission shaft 10 to rotate. It may be understood
that the hammer striking mechanism 20 includes a hammer 200, the hammer 200 may be
sleeved over a peripheral wall of the transmission shaft 10, the hammer 200 may be
connected to the transmission shaft 10 in a matching manner, and the transmission
shaft 10 may further drive the hammer 200 to rotate around the axis of the transmission
shaft 10. It should be noted that, the "connect" mentioned here may refer to that
the hammer 200 is directly connected to the transmission shaft 10, or refer to that
the hammer 200 is indirectly connected to the transmission shaft 10.
[0088] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, the hammer striking
mechanism 20 further includes a detachable clutch mechanism 220, and the clutch mechanism
220 is configured to transmit rotational motion between the transmission shaft 10
and the hammer 200. It may be understood that the clutch mechanism 220 may make the
transmission shaft 10 matched with the hammer 200, and the clutch mechanism 220 may
also make the transmission shaft 10 detach from the hammer 200. When the clutch mechanism
220 makes the transmission shaft 10 matched with the hammer 200, the rotational motion
of the transmission shaft 10 may be transmitted to the hammer 200 through the clutch
mechanism 220 to drive the hammer 200 to rotate; and when the clutch mechanism 220
makes them detach from each other, the matching relationship between the clutch mechanism
220 and the hammer 200 is relieved, the transmission shaft 10 rotates relative to
the hammer 200, and the hammer 200 is static relative to the guide member 210. Therefore,
the motion of the hammer 200 may be controlled through the clutch mechanism 220 to
control whether the hammer 200 hits the tool spindle 30, and then the working state
of the handheld tool 1 may be changed. The clutch mechanism 220 may be configured
to be closed by a force transmitted through the tool spindle 30. It may be understood
that whether a matching relationship exists between the clutch mechanism 220 and the
hammer 200 may be controlled through the tool spindle 30, and the tool spindle 30
may apply an external force to the clutch mechanism 220 to change the relationship
between the clutch mechanism 220 and the hammer 200. For example, when the tool head
or the tool spindle 30 is in a working condition (that is, when the tool spindle 30
is subject to an axial load), the clutch mechanism 220 closes, and the handheld tool
1 switches to the striking state. Therefore, when the handheld tool 1 is in the working
state, and when the tool head is in the working condition, the handheld tool 1 may
automatically switch to the striking state, and the mode is hereinafter referred to
as a "striking mode."
[0089] It should be noted that, in the actual work, not all working conditions are suitable
for the handheld tool 1 to work in the striking state. In many cases, an operator
hopes that when the handheld tool 1 is in the working state, and when the tool head
or the tool spindle 30 is subject to a load from a working condition, the handheld
tool 1 can still be in a non-striking working state, and the working mode is hereinafter
referred to as a "non-striking working mode."
[0090] Therefore, to enable the handheld tool 1 to adapt to a plurality of working conditions,
the handheld tool 1 further includes a mode adjustment mechanism 40. As shown in FIG.
2 to FIG. 6, FIG. 13 to FIG. 15, and FIG. 19 to FIG. 30, the mode adjustment mechanism
40 operably switches between a first mode state and a second mode state. When the
mode adjustment mechanism 40 is in a first mode state (that is, at the position as
shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 6, FIG. 9 to FIG. 10, FIG. 21 to FIG. 22, and FIG. 25), the
hammer 200 can be driven by the transmission shaft 10 to rotate to thus linearly move
according to a preset path, and to hit the tool spindle 30 in at least one operating
state. In other words, the transmission shaft 10 may be matched with the hammer 200,
the transmission shaft 10 may provide power for the hammer 200 to make the hammer
200 move along the preset path, and the hammer 200 may hit the tool spindle 30 during
the movement. When the mode adjustment mechanism 40 is in a second mode state (that
is, at the position as shown in FIG. 13 to FIG. 15, FIG. 23 to FIG. 24, and FIG. 26),
the transmission shaft 10 cannot drive the hammer 200 to rotate, and the hammer 200
does not hit the tool spindle 30.
[0091] The handheld tool 1 is provided with a mode adjustment mechanism 40, and the matching
relationship between the transmission shaft 10 and the hammer 200 is changed by switching
the state of the mode adjustment mechanism 40, so that the hammer 200 can be controlled
whether to hit the tool spindle 30, the switching of the handheld tool 1 between a
striking mode and a non-striking mode can be implemented, and then the performance
of the handheld tool 1 can be improved, making the handheld tool 1 compact and simple
in structure, versatile, and convenient to carry.
[0092] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, the clutch mechanism
220 includes a clutch member 221 provided on one of the transmission shaft 10 and
the hammer 200, and a receiving portion 201 provided on the other of the transmission
shaft 10 and the hammer 200. When the clutch mechanism 220 is in an engagement state,
the clutch member 221 is engaged with the receiving portion 201 through a shape matching
manner, and when the clutch mechanism 220 is in a disengagement state, the clutch
member 221 is detached from the receiving portion 201.
[0093] It may be understood that the clutch mechanism 220 includes a clutch member 221 and
a receiving portion 201, one of the transmission shaft 10 and the hammer 200 is provided
with the clutch member 221, and the other is provided with the receiving portion 201.
When the clutch mechanism 220 is in the closed state, the clutch member 221 is matched
with the receiving portion 201, and when the clutch mechanism 220 is in a disengagement
state, the clutch member 221 is detached from the receiving portion 201. Therefore,
the working state of the clutch mechanism 220 may be switched through the assembly
relationship between the clutch member 221 and the receiving portion 201.
[0094] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, the clutch member 221
may be configured to be in a shape of a ball or a column, and the receiving portion
201 may be configured to be a tank 201a. The ball or column has a smooth outer surface,
and the smooth outer surface has less friction during the movement, making it easier
to switch the state of the clutch member 221. The receiving portion 201 being provided
as a tank 201a not only facilitates the configuration, but also facilitates the matching
with the clutch member 221. For example, a part of the inner circumferential wall
of the hammer 200 is recessed toward a radial outer side of the hammer 200 to form
the receiving portion 201. Further, a bottom wall of the tank 201a may form a cambered
surface, and the cambered surface may be recessed toward the radial outer side of
the hammer 200. Therefore, the tank 201a may wrap a part of the clutch member 221,
thus improving the matching stability of the clutch member 221 and the tank 201a.
[0095] The tool spindle 30 may be axially movable relative to the transmission shaft 10
but may be connected without relative rotation. In other words, in the circumferential
direction of the transmission shaft 10, the tool spindle 30 and the transmission shaft
10 are relatively static or rotate together during rotation, and in the axis direction
of the transmission shaft 10, the tool spindle 30 is movable relative to the transmission
shaft 10. Therefore, the transmission shaft 10 may drive the tool spindle 30 to rotate
in the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft 10, and the tool spindle
30 may further slide in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10.
[0096] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the tool spindle 30 may be switched, by an axial
force, between a first position and a second position relative to the transmission
shaft 10. When the tool spindle 30 is at the second position, the hammer 200 can be
driven by the transmission shaft 10 to rotate and can move along a preset path relative
to the guide member 210, thereby hitting the tool spindle 30 along the axis of the
tool spindle in at least one operating state; and when the tool spindle 30 is at the
first position, the transmission shaft 10 cannot drive the hammer 200 to rotate. The
tool spindle 30 includes a connecting end connected to the transmission shaft 10,
and an output end connected to the tool head. A side of the transmission shaft 10
close to the connecting end is provided with a cavity 120 including an axial opening,
and the cavity 120 may extend in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10.
The connecting end of the tool spindle 30 extends from the opening into the cavity
120, and an inner wall of the cavity 120 and an outer wall of the connecting end of
the tool spindle 30 are matched through a spline 370 axially extending, so that the
tool spindle 30 may axially move relative to the transmission shaft 10 and can rotate
with the transmission shaft 10. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, an outer wall of
the tool spindle 30 and an inner wall of the cavity 120 are provided with ribs 340,
and adjacent ribs 340 on the tool spindle 30 form a recess 350 radially recessed,
so that the inner wall of the cavity 120 may be matched with the recess 350.
[0097] Still referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, a sidewall of
the cavity 120 is provided with a radial hole 110, the radial hole 110 runs through
the sidewall of the cavity 120 in a radial direction of the transmission shaft 10,
the clutch member 221 is located in the radial hole 110 and can move in the radial
hole 110, and the inner circumferential wall of the hammer 200 may be provided with
the receiving portion 201. Referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 15, when the clutch mechanism
220 is in a disengagement state, that is, when the tool spindle 30 moves to the second
position, the radial hole 110 corresponds to the position of the recess 350, and the
clutch member 221 moves along the radial hole 110 in a direction away from the receiving
portion 201 of the hammer 200 and close to the recess 350, to make the clutch member
221 disengaged from the hammer 200. Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, when the clutch
mechanism 220 is in a closed state, that is, when the tool spindle moves to the second
position, the recess 350 no longer corresponds to the position of the radial hole
110, that is, there is no longer space for accommodating the clutch member 221 at
the position corresponding to the radial hole on the tool spindle 30, the tool spindle
30 extrudes the clutch member 221 during the movement to make the clutch member 221
move along the radial hole 110 toward a direction close to the receiving portion 221
of the hammer, making a part of the clutch member 221 located in the radial hole 110,
and the other part located in the receiving portion 201, and the hammer 200 may rotate
with the transmission shaft 10 under the action of the clutch member 221. It should
be noted that, the cavity 120 may also be located at the connecting end of the tool
spindle 30, and one end, which is connected to the tool spindle 30, of the transmission
shaft 10 extends into the cavity 120.
[0098] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, the intermittent striking
component 230 includes an energy storage mechanism 231 abutting the hammer 200 and
an conversion member 232 and a curve guide 233 that are provided between the guide
member 210 and the hammer 200. The intermittent striking component 230 further includes
an energy storage mechanism 231, the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233
are both located between the guide member 210 and the hammer 200, and one end of the
energy storage mechanism 231 abuts the hammer 200. Therefore, a motion trajectory
of the conversion member 232 may be guided by constructing the specific shape of the
curve guide 233, the conversion member 232 may be linked with the hammer 200, and
the hammer 200 moves along the trajectory of the curve guide 233 under the action
of the conversion member 232.
[0099] Further, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 17 to FIG. 18, the transmission shaft 10 may
be provided with a baffle 100, the baffle 100 is sleeved over a peripheral wall of
the transmission shaft 10, the energy storage mechanism 231 is located between the
hammer 200 and the baffle 100, and one end of the energy storage mechanism 231 away
from the hammer 200 may be matched with the baffle 100. After the hammer 200 moves
by a certain distance toward the energy storage mechanism 231, the hammer 200 and
the baffle 100 may compress the energy storage mechanism 231. Therefore, the energy
storage mechanism 231 may generate a driving force on the hammer 200. Certainly, other
structures may be alternatively used for the axial limiting manner of the energy storage
mechanism, and details are not described herein again.
[0100] As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, the curve guide 233 may be annular, and the curve
guide 233 may circumferentially surround the transmission shaft 10. Specifically,
the curve guide 233 may include a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending portion
233b, one end of the descending portion 233b is connected to one end of the slope
ascending portion 233a, and the other end of the descending portion 233b extends toward
the other end of the slope ascending portion 233a. Further, the slope ascending portion
233a may be spiral, the descending portion 233b may be linear, and the descending
portion 233b extends along the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10. Preferably,
to ensure that the hammer generates a sufficient striking force on the tool spindle
30 and that the handheld tool 1 is compact, a slope ascending height of the slope
ascending portion 233a in an axial direction is greater than 3 mm and less than or
equal to 15 mm. Preferably, the slope ascending height is greater than or equal to
4 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm. Preferably, the slope ascending height is 5 mm.
[0101] When the conversion member 232 is matched with the slope ascending portion 233a,
the conversion member 232 rolls from one end of the slope ascending portion 233a to
the other end of the slope ascending portion 233a, the hammer 200 moves toward the
baffle 100, and the hammer 200 and the baffle 100 may compress the energy storage
mechanism 231. When the conversion member 232 is located on the other end of the slope
ascending portion 233a and rolls toward the descending portion 233b, the energy storage
mechanism 231 may push the hammer 200 to descend from one end of the descending portion
233b close to the baffle 100 to the other end of the descending portion 233b close
to the tool head, that is, the hammer 200 rapidly descends in a direction away from
the baffle 100 and close to the tool head, and a part of the hammer 200 approaches
and hits a portion of the tool spindle 30 on an outer side of the transmission shaft
10, so that the tool spindle 30 moves relative to the transmission shaft 10 in the
axis direction of the transmission shaft 10, and the hammer 200 hammers the tool spindle
30 and the tool head.
[0102] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 9, and FIG. 13, the tool spindle 30 is provided with a striking
receiving portion 400 matching the hammer 200. It may be understood that the tool
spindle 30 may be provided with a striking receiving portion 400, and the hammer 200
may hit the striking receiving portion 400. Therefore, the hammer 200 may drive the
tool spindle 30 to move by hitting the striking receiving portion 400, so as to enable
the tool spindle 30 to move relative to the transmission shaft 10 in the axis direction
of the transmission shaft 10.
[0103] Further, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 15, an end surface of the hammer 200 close to
the energy storage mechanism 231 may be provided with a mounting groove 203, an end
portion of the energy storage mechanism 231 may be located in the mounting groove
203, and the end portion of the energy storage mechanism 231 may abut a bottom wall
of the mounting groove 203. Therefore, the assembly stability of the energy storage
mechanism 231 and the hammer 200 may be improved.
[0104] As shown in FIG. 12, the curve guide 233 may include a plurality of segments, and
each of the plurality of segments includes a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending
portion 233b. There may be a plurality of conversion members 232, and the plurality
of conversion members 232 may be arranged at intervals along a circumferential direction
of the hammer 200. In this embodiment, to ensure rationality of the overall design
of the handheld tool, the outer diameter of the hammer 200 is between 15 mm and 50
mm. Preferably, the outer diameter of the hammer is between 20 mm and 40 mm, and the
sloping ascending height is greater than 3 mm and less than or equal to 15 mm. Preferably,
the slope ascending height is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal
to 8 mm. More preferably, the slope ascending height is 5 mm. It may be understood
that, to ensure smooth slope ascending of the conversion member 232, preferably, the
quantity of the segments ranges from 2 to 7, particularly advantageously from 3 to
4, and the quantity of the segments of the slope ascending portion 233a in this example
is preferably 3.
[0105] It should be noted that, it may be known from the above introduction that the conversion
member 232 and the curve guide 233 are located between the hammer 200 and the guide
member 210. Specifically, the conversion member 232 is located on one of the guide
member 210 and the hammer 200, and the curve guide 233 is located on the other of
the guide member 210 and the hammer 200. As shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 18, the conversion
member 232 may be located on the guide member 210, and the curve guide 233 is located
on the hammer 200. For example, an inner circumferential wall of the guide member
210 is provided with an accommodating groove 211, a part of the conversion member
232 may be located in the accommodating groove 211, a peripheral wall of the hammer
200 may be provided with a curve guide 233, and another part of the conversion member
232 may be matched with the curve guide 233. As shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 18, the conversion
member 232 may be located on the guide member 210, and the curve guide 233 is located
on the hammer 200. For example, an inner circumferential wall of the guide member
210 is provided with an accommodating groove 211, a part of the conversion member
232 may be located in the accommodating groove 211, a peripheral wall of the hammer
200 may be provided with a curve guide 233, and another part of the conversion member
232 may be matched with the curve guide 233. Therefore, an assembly relationship between
the conversion member 232, the curve guide 233 and the hammer 200, the guide member
210 may be implemented, and then the relative motion of the hammer 200 relative to
the guide member 210 may be implemented by using the matching relationship between
the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233 and the relative motion between
the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233. The hammer 200 may move relative
to the transmission shaft 10 in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10. The
motion trajectory of the conversion member 232 in the curve guide 233 is the preset
path of the hammer 200.
[0106] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 16, and FIG. 19, the conversion member 232 may be provided
as a steel ball. As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, preferably, to ensure the strength
of the steel ball, the diameter of the steel ball is greater than 4 mm and less than
or equal to 10 mm. More preferably, the diameter of the steel ball is greater than
4 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm. The diameter of the steel ball is 5 mm in this
example. The curve guide 233 may be provided as a cam surface or a cam groove. Therefore,
the cam surface or the cam groove may define a movement trajectory of the steel ball,
and the steel ball may move on the cam surface or in the cam groove. The steel ball
has a smooth outer surface, which may reduce the relative motion friction between
the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233 and improve movement smoothness
of the conversion member 232 in the curve guide 233. Moreover, the steel ball has
a great structural strength and a good abrasion resistance performance, which may
guarantee the working performance of the intermittent striking component 230. It should
be noted that, the "cam" mentioned here may refer to that the curve guide 233 protrudes
from the inner circumferential wall of the guide member 210, or the curve guide 233
protrudes from the peripheral wall of the hammer 200.
[0107] Further, the steel ball may be in point or line contact with the curve guide 233.
It may be understood that as the steel ball moves in the curve guide 233, the steel
ball is always in point or line contact with the curve guide 233, which helps to reduce
the friction between the steel ball and the curve guide 233. For example, the radius
of curvature of the cam surface may be basically the same as or slightly greater than
the radius of the steel ball, so as to improve the matching between the steel ball
and the cam surface, and then improve the assembly stability, the wear resistance,
and the service life of the steel ball and the cam surface.
[0108] A specific form of performing mode switching by the mode adjustment mechanism 40
of the handheld tool 1 is described below in combination with the specific structure
of the handheld tool 1.
[0109] As shown in FIG. 19 to FIG. 20, the mode adjustment mechanism 40 includes a first
tooth pattern 212 provided on the guide member 210, and a striking switching member
provided with a second tooth pattern 431. The striking switching member is axially
movable but is fixed in the housing of the handheld tool 1 without rotation. Specifically,
the striking switching member is a striking switching ring 430, and the striking switching
ring 430 is movably sleeved over the hammer 200. When the mode adjustment mechanism
40 is in the first mode state, the first tooth pattern 212 is engaged with the second
tooth pattern 431; and when the mode adjustment mechanism 40 is in the second mode
state, the first tooth pattern 212 is disengaged from the second tooth pattern 431.
[0110] It may be understood that the striking switching ring 430 is sleeved over the hammer
200, the striking switching ring 430 and the hammer 200 are relatively movable, the
striking switching ring 430 is provided with a second tooth pattern 431, the guide
member 210 is provided with a first tooth pattern 212, and the first tooth pattern
212 may be connected to the second tooth pattern 431 in a matching manner, so as to
connect the guide member 210 to the striking switching ring 430. In this case, the
striking switching ring 430 may limit the motion of the guide member 210, the guide
member 210 and the striking switching ring 430 are relatively static, and the hammer
200 may linearly move relative to the guide member 210 according to a preset path
and hit the tool spindle 30 in at least one operating state.
[0111] The first tooth pattern 212 may also be spaced from the second tooth pattern 431
by switching the position of the striking switching ring 430. In this case, the guide
member 210 is movable relative to the striking switching ring 430, the guide member
210 is driven by the intermittent striking component 230 and may rotate with the hammer
200, and the hammer 200 and the guide member 210 are relatively static. Therefore,
the position relationship and the assembly relationship between the guide member 210
and the striking switching ring 430 may be adjusted by adjusting the matching relationship
between the first tooth pattern 212 and the second tooth pattern 431, so as to control
a motion state of the guide member 210 and then improve a motion state of the tool
spindle 30 to control the working mode of the handheld tool 1.
[0112] Further, as shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 21 to FIG. 26, the mode adjustment mechanism
40 further includes a cushioning member 440. One end of the cushioning member 440
abuts the striking switching ring 430 to constantly push the striking switching ring
430 to move toward the guide member 210. Therefore, the cushioning member 440 may
constantly push the striking switching ring 430 to approach the guide member 210,
so as to enable the first tooth pattern 212 to be matched with the second tooth pattern
431.
[0113] Further, as shown in FIG. 19 to FIG. 24, the mode adjustment mechanism 40 further
includes a mode switching button 450. The mode switching button 450 is rotatably sleeved
over the striking switching ring 430. The mode switching button 450 is rotatable relative
to the striking switching ring 430. An inner circumferential wall of the mode switching
button 450 is provided with a guide block 451, and a peripheral wall of the striking
switching ring 430 is provided with a mating block 432 matching the guide block 451.
The mode switching button 450 is rotated, when the guide block 451 axially abuts the
mating block 432, the guide block 451 pushes against the striking switching ring 430
to compress the cushioning member 440 to move in a direction away from the guide member
210, and the first tooth pattern 212 is spaced from the second tooth pattern 431;
and when the guide block 451 is staggered from the mating block 432, the striking
switching ring 430 moves in a direction close to the guide member 210 under the action
of the cushioning member 440, and the first tooth pattern 212 is engaged with the
second tooth pattern 431.
[0114] It may be understood that the position relationship between the mode switching button
450 and the striking switching ring 430 may be switched by rotating the mode switching
button 450 or the striking switching ring 430, so as to change a matching state between
the guide block 451 and the mating block 432. Therefore, the matching relationship
between the first tooth pattern 212 and the second tooth pattern 431 may be controlled
by switching the matching relationship between the guide block 451 and the mating
block 432. Further, as shown in FIG. 20, the guide block 451 has a guide bevel 451a
to guide the mating block 432. Therefore, the matching relationship between the guide
block 451 and the mating block 432 may be conveniently switched.
[0115] The mode switching mechanism 40 may also use other structures. Specifically, referring
to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, FIG. 9, and FIG. 13, the mode switching mechanism 40 includes
a pressure stop ring 410 and a mode adjustment button 420. The pressure stop ring
410 is sleeved over the transmission shaft 10, and is specifically sleeved over the
striking receiving portion 400, the pressure stop ring 410 is rotatable relative to
the transmission shaft 10 but cannot axially move, and the mode adjustment button
420 is rotatably sleeved over the pressure stop ring 410. The pressure stop ring 410
is provided with an abutting stop portion 411. An inner circumferential wall of the
mode adjustment button 420 is provided with a channel 422 suitable for the abutting
stop portion 411 to move past, and the channel 422 extends in the axis direction of
the transmission shaft 10.
[0116] When the mode adjustment mechanism 40 is in the first mode state, the abutting stop
portion 411 stops and abuts against the mode adjustment button 420; and when the mode
adjustment mechanism 40 is in the second mode state, the abutting stop portion 411
corresponds to the position of the channel 422, and the tool spindle 30 can drive
the pressure stop ring to move in the axial direction of the tool spindle. Therefore,
the motion state of the hammer 200 may be adjusted by adjusting the relative position
relationship between the abutting stop portion 411 of the pressure stop ring 410 and
the mode adjustment button 420, so as to adjust the working mode of the tool spindle
30. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 4, the mode adjustment button 420 further
includes a flange 421 provided on an inner circumferential wall of the mode adjustment
button 420, the flange 421 is annular and extends in a circumferential direction of
the pressure stop ring 410, and the channel 422 runs through the flange 421 in an
axis direction of the pressure stop ring 410. Therefore, the channel 422 may be constructed
from the flange 421, and the flange 421 may also stop and abut against the abutting
stop portion 411.
[0117] As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 4, the abutting stop portion 411 includes a fixed segment
411a, a connecting segment 411b, and a mating segment 411c. The fixed segment 411a
extends out of the pressure stop ring 410, one end of the connecting segment 411b
is connected to the fixed segment 411a, one end of the mating segment 411c is connected
to the other end of the connecting segment 411b, the mating segment 411c is adapted
to move past the channel 422, and the fixed segment 411a and the connecting segment
411b are spaced apart in the axis direction of the pressure stop ring 410. Further,
a part of the connecting segment 411b connected to the fixed segment 411a smoothly
transits; or a part of the connecting segment 411b connected to the mating segment
411c smoothly transits.
[0118] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, a peripheral wall of the striking receiving portion
400 has a step surface 404, and the pressure stop ring 410 stops and abuts against
the step surface 404. Therefore, the step surface 404 may limit the motion of the
pressure stop ring 410 to prevent the pressure stop ring 410 from detaching form the
striking receiving portion 400.
Example 4
[0119] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 30, a handheld tool 1 includes a motor 60, a transmission
shaft 10, a tool spindle 30, a hammer striking mechanism 20, and a striking switching
ring 430.
[0120] Specifically, a rotation direction of the motor 60 includes a first direction and
a second direction, one of the first direction and the second direction may be a clockwise
direction, and the other is a counterclockwise direction. The motor 60 may drive the
transmission shaft 10 to rotate. The tool spindle 30 is connected to the transmission
shaft 10, and the tool spindle 30 is movable relative to the transmission shaft 10.
For example, the tool spindle 30 may move relative to the transmission shaft 10. The
hammer striking mechanism 20 includes a hammer 200 and a guide member 210, the hammer
200 is sleeved over an outer side of the transmission shaft 10, and the transmission
shaft 10 may drive the hammer 200 to rotate. The handheld tool 1 is provided with
a guide member 210 and an intermittent striking component 230, the hammer 200 may
be guided to linearly move by using a matching relationship between the intermittent
striking component 230, the hammer 200, and the guide member 210, and the hammer 200
may further hit the tool spindle 30 to achieve the movement of the tool spindle 30
in the axis direction, so that when the tool spindle 30 drills in an environment component
(such as a wall or a plate), the tool spindle 30 forms a striking force on the environment
component to improve the drilling efficiency of the handheld tool 1. Moreover, the
handheld tool 1 is compact and simple in structure, and may be convenient to carry.
[0121] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, the intermittent striking
component 230 includes an energy storage mechanism 231 abutting the hammer 200 and
an conversion member 232 and a curve guide 233 that are provided between the guide
member 210 and the hammer 200. The intermittent striking component 230 further includes
an energy storage mechanism 231, the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233
are both located between the guide member 210 and the hammer 200, and one end of the
energy storage mechanism 231 abuts the hammer 200. Therefore, a motion trajectory
of the conversion member 232 may be guided by constructing the specific shape of the
curve guide 233, the conversion member 232 may be linked with the hammer 200, and
the hammer 200 moves along the trajectory of the curve guide 233 under the action
of the conversion member 232.
[0122] Further, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 17 to FIG. 18, the transmission shaft 10 may
be provided with a baffle 100, the baffle 100 is sleeved over a peripheral wall of
the transmission shaft 10, the energy storage mechanism 231 is located between the
hammer 200 and the baffle 100, and one end of the energy storage mechanism 231 away
from the hammer 200 may be matched with the baffle 100. After the hammer 200 moves
by a certain distance toward the energy storage mechanism 231, the hammer 200 and
the baffle 100 may compress the energy storage mechanism 231. Therefore, the energy
storage mechanism 231 may generate a driving force on the hammer 200. Certainly, other
structures may be alternatively used for the axial limiting manner of the energy storage
mechanism, and details are not described herein again.
[0123] As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, the curve guide 233 may be annular, and the curve
guide 233 may circumferentially surround the transmission shaft 10. Specifically,
the curve guide 233 may include a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending portion
233b, one end of the descending portion 233b is connected to one end of the slope
ascending portion 233a, and the other end of the descending portion 233b extends toward
the other end of the slope ascending portion 233a. Further, the slope ascending portion
233a may be spiral, the descending portion 233b may be linear, and the descending
portion 233b extends along the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10. Preferably,
to ensure that the hammer generates a sufficient striking force on the tool spindle
30 and that the handheld tool 1 is compact, a slope ascending height of the slope
ascending portion 233a in an axial direction is greater than 3 mm and less than or
equal to 15 mm. Preferably, the slope ascending height is greater than or equal to
4 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm. Preferably, the slope ascending height is 5 mm.
[0124] When the conversion member 232 is matched with the slope ascending portion 233a,
the conversion member 232 rolls from one end of the slope ascending portion 233a to
the other end of the slope ascending portion 233a, the hammer 200 moves toward the
baffle 100, and the hammer 200 and the baffle 100 may compress the energy storage
mechanism 231. When the conversion member 232 is located on the other end of the slope
ascending portion 233a and rolls toward the descending portion 233b, the energy storage
mechanism 231 may push the hammer 200 to descend from one end of the descending portion
233b close to the baffle 100 to the other end of the descending portion 233b close
to the tool head, that is, the hammer 200 rapidly descends in a direction away from
the baffle 100 and close to the tool head, and a part of the hammer 200 approaches
and hits a portion of the tool spindle 30 on an outer side of the transmission shaft
10, so that the tool spindle 30 moves relative to the transmission shaft 10 in the
axis direction of the transmission shaft 10, and the hammer 200 hammers the tool spindle
30 and the tool head.
[0125] Further, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 15, an end surface of the hammer 200 close to
the energy storage mechanism 231 may be provided with a mounting groove 203, an end
portion of the energy storage mechanism 231 may be located in the mounting groove
203, and the end portion of the energy storage mechanism 231 may abut a bottom wall
of the mounting groove 203. Therefore, the assembly stability of the energy storage
mechanism 231 and the hammer 200 may be improved.
[0126] As shown in FIG. 12, the curve guide 233 may include a plurality of segments, and
each of the plurality of segments includes a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending
portion 233b. There may be a plurality of conversion members 232, and the plurality
of conversion members 232 may be arranged at intervals along a circumferential direction
of the hammer 200. In this example, to ensure rationality of the overall design of
the handheld tool, the outer diameter of the hammer 200 is between 15 mm and 50 mm.
Preferably, the outer diameter of the hammer is between 20 mm and 40 mm, and the sloping
ascending height is greater than 3 mm and less than or equal to 15 mm. Preferably,
the slope ascending height is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal
to 8 mm. More preferably, the slope ascending height is 5 mm. It may be understood
that, to ensure smooth slope ascending of the conversion member 232, preferably, the
quantity of the segments ranges from 2 to 7, particularly advantageously from 3 to
4, and the quantity of the segments of the slope ascending portion 233a in this example
is preferably 3.
[0127] It should be noted that, it may be known from the above introduction that the conversion
member 232 and the curve guide 233 are located between the hammer 200 and the guide
member 210. Specifically, the conversion member 232 is located on one of the guide
member 210 and the hammer 200, and the curve guide 233 is located on the other of
the guide member 210 and the hammer 200. As shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 18, the conversion
member 232 may be located on the guide member 210, and the curve guide 233 is located
on the hammer 200. For example, an inner circumferential wall of the guide member
210 is provided with an accommodating groove 211, a part of the conversion member
232 may be located in the accommodating groove 211, a peripheral wall of the hammer
200 may be provided with a curve guide 233, and another part of the conversion member
232 may be matched with the curve guide 233. As shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 18, the conversion
member 232 may be located on the guide member 210, and the curve guide 233 is located
on the hammer 200. For example, an inner circumferential wall of the guide member
210 is provided with an accommodating groove 211, a part of the conversion member
232 may be located in the accommodating groove 211, a peripheral wall of the hammer
200 may be provided with a curve guide 233, and another part of the conversion member
232 may be matched with the curve guide 233. Therefore, an assembly relationship between
the conversion member 232, the curve guide 233 and the hammer 200, the guide member
210 may be implemented, and then the relative motion of the hammer 200 relative to
the guide member 210 may be implemented by using the matching relationship between
the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233 and the relative motion between
the conversion member 232 and the curve guide 233. The hammer 200 may move relative
to the transmission shaft 10 in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10. The
motion trajectory of the conversion member 232 in the curve guide 233 is the preset
path of the hammer 200.
[0128] Still referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, because the guide member 210 is provided
with the slope ascending portion 233a and the descending portion 233b, when the motor
60 rotates forward, in the "striking mode", the hammer 200 hits the tool spindle 30
to achieve a hammering effect. However, when the motor 60 rotates reversely, the conversion
member 232 needs to cross the descending portion 233b and move to the ascending portion
233a. To ensure the striking effect of the hammer 200, the descending portion 233b
is basically parallel to the axis. Therefore, when the conversion member 232 rotates
in the axial direction, the conversion member 232 cannot cross the descending portion
233b, causing the motor to "stall" or even causing machine burnout.
[0129] Therefore, referring to FIG. 28 to FIG. 30, the handheld tool 1 further includes
a striking ring 11a fixed to the housing 80 without rotation. The striking ring 11a
is provided with a first end tooth 12a, and the guide member 210 is provided with
a second end tooth 213a that can be engaged with the first end tooth 12a. When the
motor 60 rotates in the first direction, the first end tooth 12a limits, through the
second end tooth 213a engaged with it, the guide member 210 to rotate, and the conversion
member 232 moves along the curve guide according to a preset direction to make the
hammer 200 hit the tool spindle 30 in at least one operating state; and when the motor
60 rotates in the second direction, the second end tooth 213a and the guide member
213 are driven by the motor 60 to rotate relative to the first end tooth 12a engaged
with the second end tooth, that is, the second end tooth 213a on the guide member
213 makes slope ascending motion relative to the first end tooth 12a. The first end
tooth 12a includes a plurality of first teeth 121a, the first teeth 121a each include
a guide segment 121b and a stop segment 121c, and the guide segment 121b is connected
to a free end of the stop segment 121c. The second end tooth 213a includes a plurality
of second teeth 2131a. When the motor 60 rotates in the first direction, the second
teeth 2131a move from the stop segment 121c to the guide segment 121b, and the stop
segment 121c abuts the second teeth 2131a, so that the guide member 210 cannot rotate;
and when the motor 60 rotates in the second direction, the second teeth 2131a move
from the guide segment 121b to the stop segment 121c, the second teeth 2131a can move
along the guide segment 121b, so that the guide member 213 rotates relative to the
first end tooth 12a. The guide segment 121b and the stop segment 121c are sequentially
arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the first end tooth 12a, and
the stop segment 121c is parallel to the axis of the transmission shaft 10. When the
second teeth 2131a moves from the stop segment 121c to the guide segment 121b, a side
of the second teeth 2131a abutting the stop segment 121c is parallel to the stop segment
121c. The striking ring 11a can move in the axial direction to achieve engagement
or disengagement of the first end tooth 12a with or from the second end tooth 213a.
When the first end tooth 12a is disengaged from the second end tooth 213a, the guide
member 210 is driven by the motor to rotate, and the tool is in a non-striking mode.
It may be understood that in this example, when the striking ring 11a is axially movable,
the striking ring 11a in this example not only has an "anti-stalling" function, but
also has the functions implemented by the striking switching ring 430 described above.
In other words, in the above example, the tooth-pattern shape of the first tooth pattern
212 and the second tooth pattern 431 in the above example are set to the tooth shape
of the first teeth 121a and the second teeth 2131a in this example, and then the mode
switching mechanism 40 in the above example not only has a mode switching function,
but also has an anti-stalling function in the striking mode.
[0130] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, the hammer striking
mechanism 20 further includes a detachable clutch mechanism 220, and the clutch mechanism
220 is configured to transmit rotational motion between the transmission shaft 10
and the hammer 200. It may be understood that the clutch mechanism 220 may make the
transmission shaft 10 matched with the hammer 200, and the clutch mechanism 220 may
also make the transmission shaft 10 detach from the hammer 200. When the clutch mechanism
220 makes the transmission shaft 10 matched with the hammer 200, the rotational motion
of the transmission shaft 10 may be transmitted to the hammer 200 through the clutch
mechanism 220 to drive the hammer 200 to rotate; and when the clutch mechanism 220
makes them detach from each other, the matching relationship between the clutch mechanism
220 and the hammer 200 is relieved, the transmission shaft 10 rotates relative to
the hammer 200, and the hammer 200 is static relative to the guide member 210. Therefore,
the motion of the hammer 200 may be controlled through the clutch mechanism 220 to
control whether the hammer 200 hits the tool spindle 30, and then the working state
of the handheld tool 1 may be changed. The clutch mechanism 220 may be configured
to be closed by a force transmitted through the tool spindle 30. It may be understood
that whether a matching relationship exists between the clutch mechanism 220 and the
hammer 200 may be controlled through the tool spindle 30, and the tool spindle 30
may apply an external force to the clutch mechanism 220 to change the relationship
between the clutch mechanism 220 and the hammer 200. For example, when the tool head
or the tool spindle 30 is in a working condition (that is, when the tool spindle 30
is subject to an axial load), the clutch mechanism 220 closes, and the handheld tool
1 switches to the striking state.
[0131] As shown in FIG. 5, the tool spindle 30 may be switched, by an axial force, between
a first position and a second position relative to the transmission shaft 10. When
the tool spindle 30 is at the second position, the hammer 200 can be driven by the
transmission shaft 10 to rotate and can move along a preset path relative to the guide
member 210, so as to hit the tool spindle 30 along the axis of the tool spindle 30
in at least one operating state; and when the tool spindle 30 is at the first position,
the transmission shaft 10 cannot drive the hammer 200 to rotate. The tool spindle
30 includes a connecting end connected to the transmission shaft 10, and an output
end connected to the tool head. A side of the transmission shaft 10 close to the connecting
end is provided with a cavity 120 including an axial opening, and the cavity 120 may
extend in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10. The connecting end of the
tool spindle 30 extends from the opening into the cavity 120, and an inner wall of
the cavity 120 and an outer wall of the connecting end of the tool spindle 30 are
matched through a spline 370 axially extending, so that the tool spindle 30 may axially
move relative to the transmission shaft 10 and can rotate with the transmission shaft
10. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, an outer wall of the tool spindle 30 and an
inner wall of the cavity 120 are provided with ribs 340, and adjacent ribs 340 on
the tool spindle 30 form a recess 350 radially recessed, so that the inner wall of
the cavity 120 may be matched with the recess 350.
[0132] Still referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, a sidewall of
the cavity 120 is provided with a radial hole 110, the radial hole 110 runs through
the sidewall of the cavity 120 in a radial direction of the transmission shaft 10,
the clutch member 221 is located in the radial hole 110 and can move in the radial
hole 110, and the inner circumferential wall of the hammer 200 may be provided with
the receiving portion 201. Referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 15, when the clutch mechanism
220 is in a disengagement state, that is, when the tool spindle 30 moves to the second
position, the radial hole 110 corresponds to the position of the recess 350, and the
clutch member 221 moves along the radial hole 110 in a direction away from the receiving
portion 201 of the hammer 200 and close to the recess 350, to make the clutch member
221 disengaged from the hammer 200. Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, when the clutch
mechanism 220 is in a closed state, that is, when the tool spindle 30 moves to the
second position, the recess 350 no longer corresponds to the position of the radial
hole 110, that is, there is no longer space for accommodating the clutch member 221
at the position corresponding to the radial hole 110 on the tool spindle 30, the tool
spindle 30 extrudes the clutch member 221 during the movement to make the clutch member
221 move along the radial hole 110 toward a direction close to the receiving portion
221 of the hammer, making a part of the clutch member 221 located in the radial hole
110, and the other located in the receiving portion 201, and the hammer 200 may rotate
with the transmission shaft 10 under the action of the clutch member 221. It should
be noted that, the cavity 120 may also be located at the connecting end of the tool
spindle 30, and one end, which is connected to the tool spindle 30, of the transmission
shaft 10 extends into the cavity 120.

120 may be provided with a plurality of protruding blocks, the plurality of protruding
blocks are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the transmission

protruding blocks may be constructed into a mating groove, any one of the plurality
of ribs 340 corresponds to a mating groove, and each of the plurality of ribs 340
may extend into the corresponding mating groove. When the transmission shaft 10 rotates,
the ribs 340 may abut at least one of the two protruding blocks corresponding to a
mating groove, so as to drive the tool spindle 30 to rotate in the circumferential
direction of the transmission shaft 10. In the axis direction of the transmission
shaft 10, the tool spindle 30 is movable relative to the transmission shaft 10, and
the tool spindle 30 may slide in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10.
[0138] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, the hammer striking
mechanism 20 includes a hammer 200, a guide member 210, a clutch mechanism 220, and

over a peripheral wall of the transmission shaft 10, the hammer 200 is close to one
end of the transmission shaft 10 away from the reset member 70, and an inner circumferential
wall of the hammer 200 is spaced from the peripheral wall of the transmission shaft
10. a part of the transmission shaft 10 over which the hammer 200 is sleeved may be
provided with a radial hole 110, the radial hole 110 runs through the transmission
shaft 10 in a radial direction of the transmission shaft 10, the clutch member 221
may be located in the radial hole 110, and the clutch member 221 may move within the
radial hole 110. The inner circumferential wall of the hammer 200 may be provided
with a receiving portion 201, the receiving portion 201 may run through the hammer
200 in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10, the receiving portion 201
may be provided as a tank 201a, the tank 201a may be constructed by recessing a part
of the inner circumferential wall of the hammer 200 toward a radial outer side of
the hammer 200, and the clutch member 221 may be provided as a steel ball. The diameter
of the steel ball is greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm.
A bottom wall of the tank 201a may be formed as a curved surface, and the curved surface
may be recessed toward the radial outer side of the hammer 200.
[0140] When the clutch mechanism 220 is in a closed state, the steel ball moves between
the transmission shaft 10 and the hammer 200, that is, when a part of the steel ball
is located in the radial hole 110 and the other of the steel ball is located in the
tank 201a, the part of the steel ball located in the tank 201a may abut the tank 201a
by in a matching manner. When the steel ball rotates with the transmission shaft 10,
the steel ball may drive the hammer 200 to rotate along the circumferential direction
of the transmission shaft 10. When the clutch mechanism 220 is in a disengagement
state, and when the steel ball moves between the transmission shaft 10 and the tool

When a tool head is in a working state and is subject to an axial abutment force from
a working condition, that is, when the tool spindle 30 moves toward a direction close
to the reset member 70, the reset member 70 compresses, the first segment 310 of the
tool spindle 30 is opposite to the radial hole 110, the first segment 310 may extrude

drives the hammer 200 to rotate, the clutch mechanism 220 is in an engagement state,
and the handheld tool 1 is in the above striking state. When the axial force from
the working condition disappears, the tool spindle 30 moves toward a direction close
to the tool head under the action of the reset member 70, and the tool spindle 30
moves from the first segment 310 opposite to the radial hole 110 to the third segment
330 opposite to the radial hole 110. Therefore, the first segment 310 no longer extrudes
the steel ball, the steel ball moves, under the action of the hammer 200, along the
radial hole 110 into the recess 350 and detaches from the tank 201a, the transmission
shaft 10 cannot drive the hammer 200 to rotate, and the clutch mechanism 220 is in
a disengagement state. Referring to FIG. 15, in this example, when the clutch mechanism
220 is in a disengagement state, the steel ball remains at least partially within
the radial hole 110 to facilitate the clutch mechanism 220 to switch between the engagement
state and the disengagement state.
[0142] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, a guide member 210 is
sleeved over the peripheral wall of the hammer 200, a curve guide 233 is formed on
an inner circumferential wall of the guide member 210, the curve guide 233 may be
annular, and the curve guide 233 may circumferentially surround the transmission shaft
10. The curve guide 233 may include a plurality of segments, and each of the plurality
of segments corresponds to an conversion member 232. Each of the plurality of segments
includes a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending portion 233b. The slope ascending
portion 233a may be spiral, and the descending portion 233b may be linear. The conversion
member 232 may be provided as a steel ball.

accommodating groove 211, a part of the conversion member 232 may be located in the
accommodating groove 211, and the conversion member 232 is connected to (for example,
clamped with) the guide member 210. The peripheral wall of the hammer 200 may be provided
with a curve guide 233, and another part of the conversion member 232 may be matched
with the curve guide 233.
[0144] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 7 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 15, an end surface of the
hammer 200 facing the reset member 70 may be provided with a mounting groove 203.
The transmission shaft 10 may be provided with a baffle 100, the baffle 100 is sleeved
over a peripheral wall of the transmission shaft 10, the baffle 100 is connected to
the transmission shaft 10, and the baffle 100 is opposite to the mounting groove 203.

100, one end of the energy storage mechanism 231 may extend into the mounting groove
203, an end portion of the energy storage mechanism 231 may abut a bottom wall of
the mounting groove 203, and the other end of the energy storage mechanism 231 may
abut the baffle 100. The energy storage mechanism 231 may be provided as a ring spring,
and the ring spring may be sleeved over the transmission shaft 10.
[0145] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 1, FIG. 9 to FIG. 10, and FIG. 13, a peripheral
wall of the hammer 200 may be provided with an insertion groove 202, and a part of
the conversion member 232 may be located in the insertion groove 202, to connect the
conversion member 232 to the hammer 200; a part of the conversion member 232 outside
the insertion groove 202 may be matched with the curve guide 233, to enable the conversion
member 232 to move along the curve guide 233, so that the hammer 200 is driven by
a rotating force of the transmission shaft 10 to move along a path of the curve guide
233.
[0146] When the conversion member 232 is matched with the slope ascending portion 233a,
the conversion member 232 rolls from the other end of the slope ascending portion
233a to one end of the slope ascending portion 233a, the hammer 200 moves toward the
baffle 100, and the hammer 200 and the baffle 100 may compress the energy storage
mechanism 231. When the conversion member 232 is located at one end of the slope ascending
portion 233a and rolls toward the descending portion 233b, the energy storage mechanism
231 may constantly push the hammer 200 to descend from one end of the descending portion

tool spindle 30, the striking receiving portion 400 is located outside the transmission
shaft 10, and the striking receiving portion 400 is connected to (for example, clamped
with or welded to) the tool spindle 30. After the hammer 200 moves a distance toward
the direction away from the baffle 100, the hammer 200 may contact with the striking
receiving portion 400, moreover, due to the driving effect of the energy storage mechanism
231, the hammer 200 may have a hitting effect on the striking receiving portion 400,
so that the tool spindle 30 may move along an axis direction of the transmission shaft
10 toward a direction away from the reset member 70.
[0148] The environmental component (such as a wall or plate) drilled by the handheld tool
1 has a load effect on the tool spindle 30 the tool spindle 30 may move toward a direction
close to the reset member 70, and the cycle repeats, so that the tool spindle 30 may
move in the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft 10 under the driving
of the transmission shaft 10, and the tool spindle 30 may also move in the axis direction
of the transmission shaft 10 under the hitting effect of the hammer 200 and the external
force of the environment component.
[0149] The above introduces that when the handheld tool 1 is in the working state, that
is, when the tool head is subject to an axial force, the handheld tool 1 can implement
a hammering function. However, in an actual operation, the operator does not need
the hammering function under some working conditions; therefore, the handheld tool
of the present disclosure further includes a mode adjustment mechanism 40.
[0150] As shown in FIG. 6, the peripheral wall of the striking receiving portion 400 may
include a first surface 401, a second surface 402, and a third surface 403. The first

striking receiving portion 400 corresponding to the third surface 403, and the striking
receiving portion 400 corresponding to the first surface 401 may axially limit the
pressure stop ring 410 to the third surface 403.

411a, a connecting segment 411b, and a mating segment 411c. The fixed segment 411a
extends out of the pressure stop ring 410, one end of the connecting segment 411b

of the connecting segment 411b connected to the fixed segment 411a smoothly transits,
and a part of the connecting segment 411b connected to the mating segment 411c smoothly
transits.
[0153] When the abutting stop portion 411 abuts the mode adjustment button 420, the pressure
stop ring 410 is static relative to the mode adjustment button 420, the pressure stop
ring 410 further abuts the striking receiving portion 400 corresponding to the first
surface 401, the striking receiving portion 400 is static, the striking receiving
portion 400 further limits the movement of the tool spindle 30, the external force
applied by the environment component to the tool spindle 30 cannot drive the tool
spindle 30 to move, the clutch mechanism 221 is located between the tool spindle 30
and the transmission shaft 10, the hammer 200 is spaced from the transmission shaft
10, the motor 60 drives the transmission shaft 10 to rotate, the transmission shaft
10 further drives the tool spindle 30 to rotate, and the tool spindle 30 has only
rotational motion.
[0154] When the abutting stop portion 411 is located in the channel 422, the abutting stop
portion 411 may move within the channel 422, the external force applied by the environment
component to the tool spindle 30 drives the tool spindle 30 to move toward the reset
member 70, and then drives the clutch mechanism 221 to be placed between the transmission
shaft 10 and the hammer 200, the transmission shaft 10 may drive the hammer 200 to
rotate, the hammer 200 may move in the axis direction of the transmission shaft 10

[0155] Alternatively, the mode adjustment mechanism 40 may be of other structures.
[0156] Different from the examples shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 15, in the examples shown in
FIG. 19 to FIG. 26, the mode adjustment mechanism 40 includes a striking switching

the guide member 210 includes a first tooth pattern 212, the mode adjustment mechanism
40 includes a striking switching ring 430, the striking switching ring 430 is movably
sleeved over the hammer 200, and the striking switching ring 430 includes a second

the striking switching ring 430 is provided with a mating block 432 matching the guide
block 451, and the striking switching ring 430 is axially movable but is fixed to

[0157] The mode switching button 450 is rotated; when the guide block 451 abuts the mating
block 432, the first tooth pattern 212 is spaced from the second tooth pattern 431.
In this case, the guide member 210 is movable relative to the striking switching ring
430, the guide member 210 is driven by the intermittent striking component 230 and
may rotate with the hammer 200, and the hammer 200 and the guide member 210 relatively
static. Therefore, the hammer 200 may not hit the tool spindle 30. The mode switching
button 450 is continuously rotated; when the guide block 451 is staggered from the
mating block 432, the first tooth pattern 212 is engaged with the second tooth pattern
431, so as to connect the guide member 210 to the striking switching ring 430. In
this case, the striking switching ring 430 may limit the motion of the guide member
210, the guide member 210 and the striking switching ring 430 are relatively static,
and the hammer 200 may linearly move relative to the guide member 210 according to
a preset path and hit the tool spindle 30 in at least one operating state. In this
example, axial movement of the striking switching ring 430 is implemented by rotating
the mode switching button 450, while in other examples, to implement the axial movement
of the striking switching ring, a toggle button connected to the striking switching
ring 430 may be further provided, and the axial movement of the striking switching
ring 430 is directly driven by toggling the toggle button for axial movement.

segment. The abutment stop segment 431b extends in an axis direction of the striking
switching ring 430, and the straight segment is perpendicular to the abutment stop
segment 431b. There may be a plurality of abutment stop segments 431b, the plurality

direction of the guide member 210, a guide segment 431a is provided between any two
adjacent ones of the plurality of abutment stop segments 431b, and two ends of any
guide segment 431a are connected to the two adjacent abutment stop segments 431b respectively.

portions 212a one-to-one correspond to the plurality of abutment stop segments 431b.
The protruding portion 212a may be formed as a triangle. The free end of the protruding
portion 212a may be formed as a tip 212a1.
[0159] When the motor 60 moves forward, there are two cases, one of which is as follows:
the guide block 451 abuts the mating block 432, the first tooth pattern 212 is spaced
from the second tooth pattern 431, in this case, the guide member 210 is movable relative
to the striking switching ring 430, the guide member 210 is driven by the intermittent
striking component 230 and may rotate with the hammer 200, and the hammer 200 and
the guide member 210 are relatively static; and the other is as follows: when the
guide block 451 is staggered from the mating block 432, the protruding portion 212a
stops and abuts against the abutment stop segment 431b, and the first tooth pattern
212 and the second tooth pattern 431 are relatively static, so as to connect the guide
member 210 to the striking switching ring 430, in this case, the striking switching
ring 430 may limit the motion of the guide member 210, the guide member 210 and the
striking switching ring 430 are relatively static, and the hammer 200 may linearly
move relative to the guide member 210 according to a preset path and hit the tool
spindle 30 in at least one operating state. When the motor 60 rotates reversely, the
protruding portion 212a may slide along the guide segment 431a, relative rotation
may be formed between the first tooth pattern 212 and the second tooth pattern 431,
the guide member 210 may rotate relative to the striking switching ring 430, and the
guide member 210 may rotate with the hammer 200.
[0160] In the related art, when the first tooth pattern 212 is in contact with the second
tooth pattern 431, the guide member 210 and the striking switching ring 430 are relatively
static, when the motor 60 rotates reversely, since the conversion member 232 stops
at the descending portion 233b, the rotation of the motor 60 may be hindered, thereby
damaging the performance of the guide member 210 and the motor 60 and affecting the
service life of the handheld tool 1. Compared with the related art, the handheld tool
1 has more considerations, and thus has good safety performance.
[0161] Different from the example shown in FIG. 20, in the examples shown in FIG. 28 to
FIG. 30, the handheld tool 1 further includes a striking ring 11a fixed to the housing
80 without rotation. The striking ring 11a is provided with a first end tooth 12a,
and the guide member 210 is provided with a second end tooth 213a that can be engaged
with the first end tooth 12a. When the motor 60 rotates in the first direction, the
first end tooth 12a limits, through the second end tooth 213a engaged with it, the
guide member 213 to rotate, and the conversion member 232 moves along the curve guide
according to a preset direction to make the hammer 200 hit the tool spindle 30 in
at least one operating state; and when the motor 60 rotates in the second direction,
the second end tooth 213a and the guide member 213 are driven by the motor 60 to rotate
relative to the first end tooth 12a engaged with the second end tooth, that is, the
second end tooth 213a on the guide member 213 makes slope ascending motion relative
to the first end tooth 12a. The first end tooth 12a includes a plurality of first
teeth 121a, the first teeth 121a each include a guide segment 121b and a stop segment
121c, and the guide segment 121b is connected to a free end of the stop segment 121c.
The second end tooth 213a includes a plurality of second teeth 2131a. When the motor
60 rotates in the first direction, the second teeth 2131a move from the stop segment
121c to the guide segment 121b, and the stop segment 121c abuts the second teeth 2131a,
so that the guide member 210 cannot rotate; and when the motor 60 rotates in the second
direction, the second teeth 2131a move from the guide segment 121b to the stop segment
121c, the second teeth 2131a can move along the guide segment 121b, so that the guide
member 213 rotates relative to the first end tooth 12a. The guide segment 121b and
the stop segment 121c are sequentially arranged at intervals in a circumferential
direction of the first end tooth 12a, and the stop segment 121c is parallel to the
axis of the transmission shaft 10. When the second teeth 2131a moves from the stop
segment 121c to the guide segment 121b, a side of the second teeth 2131a abutting
the stop segment 121c is parallel to the stop segment 121c. The striking ring 11a
can move in the axial direction to achieve engagement or disengagement of the first
end tooth 12a with or from the second end tooth 213a. When the first end tooth 12a
is disengaged from the second end tooth 213a, the guide member 210 is driven by the
motor to rotate, and the tool is in a non-striking mode. It may be understood that
in this example, when the striking ring 11a is axially movable, the striking ring
11a in this example not only has an "anti-stalling" function, but also has the functions
implemented by the striking switching ring 430 described in the above.
[0162] FIG. 23 is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of a handheld tool, including
a motor 60 and a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission
shaft 10, a hammer striking mechanism 20, and a tool spindle 30. The transmission
shaft 10 is driven by the motor 60 to rotate to make the transmission shaft 10 rotate
around an axis of the transmission shaft, and the transmission shaft 10 drives the
tool spindle 30 to rotate around an axis of the cuter axle. In this implementation,
the axis of the transmission shaft 10 is coaxial with the axis of the tool spindle
30, and the transmission shaft 10 is sleeved outside the tool spindle 30 and is rotationally
connected to the tool spindle 30 through flat-square matching. The connection manner
of the transmission shaft 10 and the tool spindle 30 is not limited to the structure
in this implementation. In other implementations, the axes of the transmission shaft
10 and the tool spindle 30 may be parallel and non-collinear, and the transmission
shaft 10 may not be sleeved outside the tool spindle 30.
[0163] With reference to FIG. 31, FIG. 32, and FIG. 11, the hammer striking mechanism 20
includes a hammer 200, a guide member 210, and an intermittent striking component
230 provided between the hammer 200 and the guide member 210. The hammer 200 can intermittently
axially strike the tool spindle 30 to provide higher striking energy for the tool
spindle 30. The axial striking motion of the hammer 200 is implemented by the intermittent
striking component 230. In this implementation, the intermittent striking component
230 includes a curve guide 233 provided on the guide member 210, and an conversion
member 232. The conversion member 232 is connected to the curve guide 233 and the
hammer 200 to enable the curve guide 233 to drive the hammer 200 to move in a direction
opposite to the striking direction to compress an energy storage mechanism 231 to
store energy. The intermittent striking component 230 further includes an energy storage
mechanism 231 abutting the hammer 200, and the energy storage mechanism 231 can drive
the hammer 200 to move in the striking direction. The striking direction here is the
movement direction of the hammer 200 from the back to the front along the axis direction
parallel to the tool spindle 30.The striking direction of the hammer is the second
direction, and the first direction is a direction opposite to the striking direction.
A direction close to the free end of the tool spindle 30 is the front. In other implementations,
the curve guide may be provided on the hammer.
[0164] The curve guide includes a plurality of slope ascending portions and descending portions.
When the conversion member 232 moves past the slope ascending portion, the conversion
member 232 drives the hammer 200 to overcome an applied force of the energy storage
mechanism 231 to move in a first direction, and when the conversion member 232 moves
past the descending portion, the energy storage mechanism 231 drives the hammer 200
to move in a second direction opposite the first direction to strike the tool spindle
30. Here, "the conversion member moves past the slope ascending portion" may be understood
as a process in which the conversion member contacts with the slope ascending portion
and performs slope ascending during the motion relative to the curve guide, and the
conversion member here may or may not be moving, as long as the conversion member
has relative motion relative to the curve guide. "The conversion member moves past
the descending portion" may be understood as that the conversion member is in an avoidance
space formed by the descending portion. Herein, the conversion member may not contact
with the descending portion, which may be described in detail below.
[0165] In this implementation, the curve guide 233 is provided on the guide member 210,
the guide member 210 is fixedly provided relative to the housing, the conversion member
232 is provided on the hammer 200, and the hammer 200 is driven to rotate relative
to the guide member 210 through the matching between the conversion member 232 and
the curve guide 233, so as to make the hammer 200 perform slope ascending on the curve
guide 233, that is, the hammer 200 moves backward along an axis. The hammer 200 may
make the energy storage mechanism 231 store energy while moving backward along the
axis, and when the hammer 200 performs slope ascending to the highest point on the
slope ascending portion of the curve guide 233, the energy stored by the energy storage
mechanism 231 is also correspondingly at the maximum value. The descending portion
of the curve guide 233 may form a falling avoidance space, for providing the hammer
200 with a falling space. When the hammer 200 is in the falling space formed by the
descending portion, the energy stored by the energy storage mechanism 231 may be converted
into kinetic energy of the hammer 200, that is, the energy storage mechanism 231 drives
the hammer 200 to move in the striking direction to apply an axial striking to the
tool spindle 30.
[0166] In this implementation, the hammer 200 is driven by the rotation of the transmission
shaft 10, and the hammer 200 is sleeved over an outer side of the transmission shaft
10. The motor 60 drives the transmission shaft 10 to rotate, the transmission shaft
10 drives the tool spindle 30 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 10 selectively
drives the hammer 200 to rotate, that is, the transmission shaft 10 drives the hammer
striking mechanism 20 to move.
[0167] In this implementation, the curve guide 233 is a cam surface, the curve guide 233
is provided on the guide member 210, the conversion member 232 is a steel ball, the
energy storage mechanism 231 is a spring, the rotation of the hammer 200 causes the
hammer striking mechanism 20 to move, and the rotation of the hammer 200 is driven
by the transmission shaft 10. However, it is not limited to the specific form and
structure in this example, and other structure solutions can implement forward movement
of the hammer along the axis. For example, in other implementations, the conversion
member may be a cam end surface provided on one of the hammer and the guide member,
a curve guide is provided on the other of the hammer and the guide member, the cam
end surface and the curve guide form matching between an active cam surface and a
passive cam surface by end surface matching, the rotational motion can be converted
into linear motion, and then reciprocating axial striking motion of the hammer can
be implemented In combination with the effect of the energy storage mechanism.
[0168] Specifically, FIG. 2 is a three-dimensional exploded view of an implementation of
the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2, the conversion member 232 may be provided
as a steel ball, and to ensure the strength of the steel ball, the diameter of the
steel ball is greater than 4 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm. Advantageously, the
diameter of the steel ball is greater than 4 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm. The
diameter of the steel ball is 5 mm in this example. The curve guide 233 may be provided
as a cam surface or a cam groove. Therefore, the cam surface or the cam groove may
define a movement trajectory of the steel ball, and the steel ball may move on the
cam surface or in the cam groove. The steel ball has a smooth outer surface, which
may reduce the relative motion friction between the conversion member 232 and the
curve guide 233 and improve movement smoothness of the conversion member 232 in the
curve guide 233. Moreover, the steel ball has a great structural strength and a good
abrasion resistance performance, which may guarantee the working performance of the
intermittent striking component 230. It should be noted that, the "cam" mentioned
here may refer to that the curve guide 233 protrudes from the inner circumferential
wall of the guide member 210, or the curve guide 233 protrudes from the peripheral
wall of the hammer 200.
[0169] Further, the steel ball may be in point or line contact with the curve guide 233.
It may be understood that as the steel ball moves in the curve guide 233, the steel
ball is always in point or line contact with the curve guide 233, which helps to reduce
the friction between the steel ball and the curve guide 233. For example, the radius
of curvature of the cam surface may be basically the same as or slightly greater than
the radius of the steel ball, so as to improve the matching between the steel ball
and the cam surface, and then improve the assembly stability, the wear resistance,
and the service life of the steel ball and the cam surface.
[0170] Further, in this implementation, the peripheral wall of the hammer 200 is provided
with an insertion groove 202, a part of the steel ball serving as the conversion member
232 may be located in the insertion groove 202 to connect the conversion member 232
to the hammer 200, and a part of the conversion member 232 located outside the insertion
groove 202 is matched with the curve guide 233 to enable the conversion member 232
to move along the curve guide 233, so that the hammer 200 is driven by a rotating
force of the transmission shaft 10 to move along a path of the curve guide 233.
[0171] In this implementation, the curve guide 233 is provided on an inner circumferential
surface of one of the hammer 200 and the guide member 210, that is, the guide member
210, and the conversion member 232 is provided on the other of the two, that is, the
hammer 200. A connection relationship between the conversion member 232 and the hammer
200 is as follows: a part of the conversion member 232 is provided in the insertion
groove 202 on the hammer 200, and the steel ball 232 may rotate in the insertion groove
202. Moreover, 3 insertion grooves 202 are provided on an outer circumferential surface
of the hammer 200, 3 steel balls serving as the conversion member 232 are also correspondingly
provided, and the corresponding curve guide 233 includes 3 slope ascending portions.
[0172] In the present disclosure, to better describe the motion state of the hammer in the
striking mode in this implementation, the present disclosure provides sectional views
of the hammer in several different states during the operation in the striking mode.
Referring to FIG. 34 to FIG. 36, FIG. 34 is a diagram of the hammer in a first state
in the striking mode, that is, the hammer is performing slope ascending, i.e., the
hammer is on the slope ascending portion; in this case, the hammer is compressing
the energy storage mechanism to store energy. FIG. 35 is a diagram of the hammer in
a second state, that is, the hammer is in the highest position of the slope ascending
portion; in this case, the hammer compresses the energy storage mechanism to the maximum
extent to maximize the energy storage. FIG. 36 is a diagram of the hammer in a third
state, that is, the hammer is in an avoidance space formed by the descending portion;
in this case, the energy storage mechanism releases energy to drive the hammer to
strike in a striking direction.
[0173] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 34, the tool spindle 30 is at a position of being
pressed down, the transmission shaft 10 drives the hammer 200 to rotate, and under
the driving of the conversion member 232, the hammer 200 performs slope ascending
relative to the curve guide 233 on an inner circumferential side of the guide member
210, and then the hammer 200 compresses the energy storage mechanism in a first direction
A to store energy.
[0174] On the basis of FIG. 34, while the hammer 200 continues the slope ascending in the
first direction A to compress the energy storage mechanism 231, the energy storage
mechanism 231 may be compressed to a maximum compression amount, that is, the energy
storage mechanism 231 is at a maximum energy storage amount; in this case, the hammer
200 performs slope ascending to the highest point of the slope ascending portion,
that is, the second state of the hammer 200 shown in FIG. 35.
[0175] When the hammer 200 is in the highest point of the slope ascending portion in FIG.
35, due to continuous rotation of the transmission shaft 10, the hammer 200 may also
be driven to rotate, and then may move to an avoidance area formed by the descending
portion, the hammer 200 in the area abuts the energy storage mechanism 231, and the
energy storage mechanism 231 storing sufficient energy may drive the hammer 200 to
move in a second direction B opposite to the first direction A while releasing energy,
and then cause the hammer 200 to strike the tool spindle 30.
[0176] The above process is one striking completed by the hammer 200. The curve guide 233
includes 3 slope ascending portions and descending portions corresponding to the slope
ascending portions, therefore, after moving past the first slope ascending portion
and the first descending portion to complete one striking, the hammer 200 may continue
to perform the same striking motion along the second slope ascending portion and the
second descending portion, and then may also perform a third striking motion along
the third slope ascending portion and the third descending portion.
[0177] Since 3 slope ascending portions are provided on the inner circumferential surface
of the guide member, that is, the hammer 200 may perform three striking motions during
one rotation, the striking frequency is improved, and then the striking and drilling
efficiency is improved.
[0178] The energy storage mechanism 231 may be provided as an elastic member. For example,
the energy storage mechanism 231 may be a spring or an elastic rubber member. Therefore,
the configuration and assembly of the energy storage mechanism 231 may be simplified,
and the manufacturing costs of the energy storage mechanism 231 may also be reduced.
Further, the energy storage mechanism 231 may be formed as a ring, and the energy
storage mechanism 231 may be sleeved over a peripheral wall of the transmission shaft
10. Therefore, the assembly of the energy storage mechanism 231 is easy, and the force
applied by the energy storage mechanism 231 to the hammer 200 can be even.
[0179] In other implementations, the hammer may not rotate, but the guide member rotates.
In this implementation, the transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the guide member,
that is, the transmission shaft drives the guide member and the tool spindle to simultaneously
rotate, that is, the guide member rotates at the same speed as the tool spindle, that
is, the rotational speed of the tool spindle is the same as that of the hammer relative
to the guide member, and the hammer is connected to the housing without rotation,
that is, the hammer can axially move relative to the housing, but cannot relatively
rotate. The transmission shaft drives the guide member to rotate, the rotation of
the guide member drives the curve guide on the inner circumferential surface of the
guide member to rotate, axial movement of the hammer is driven, the spring is compressed
for energy storage, and then the hammer axially moves in the striking direction to
hit the tool spindle.
[0180] The specific structure of the cam-type hammer striking mechanism in this implementation
is described above, due to different striking principles, the cam-type hammer striking
mechanism has higher striking energy than the conventional dynamic-and-static-end-tooth
axial striking structure, that is, the energy of a single striking of the cam-type
hammer striking mechanism is higher than that of the conventional dynamic-and-static-end-tooth
striking structure. In addition, it is found through research that the cumulative
hit energy per unit time may also affect the striking effect, that is, if the cumulative
hit energy per unit time is too low, it will lead to an insufficient breaking force,
and relatively hard working surfaces made of materials such as concrete cannot be
broken.
[0181] Parameters that affect the cumulative hit energy per unit time are as follows. The
first parameter is a quantity of periodic segments on the curve guide, that is, a
quantity of slope ascending tracks, and the more the slope ascending tracks are, the
more the striking times of the hammer are, and the more the striking times per rotation
of the hammer are. The second parameter is the rotational speed of the hammer, and
the higher the speed of the hammer is, the larger a quantity of turns of the hammer
per unit time is, that is, the more the striking times of the hammer are. Therefore,
if the speed of the hammer is too low, the cumulative hit energy per unit time may
be too low, resulting in a failure to break the material. Conversely, the higher the
speed of the hammer is, the greater the cumulative hit energy per unit time is, and
the stronger the breaking capability is. The "rotational speed of the hammer" referred
to herein, in other examples, may refer to the relative rotation speed of the hammer,
that is, the rotation speed of the hammer relative to the guide member or of the guide
member. For example, in an implementation where the hammer only axially moves without
rotation and the guide member rotates, the rotational speed of the hammer may be understood
as the relative rotational speed of the hammer relative to the guide member.
[0182] However, if the speed of the hammer is too high, it may bring another problem. If
the speed of the hammer is too high, the time for the steel ball to fall from the
highest point of the slope ascending portion may be less, which may greatly increase
the probability of the steel ball hitting the track. In addition, the more periodic
segments of the curve guide distributed on a circle are, that is, the more the slope
ascending tracks are, the shorter the length of each periodic segment may be, thus
increasing the probability of the steel ball hitting the track. Therefore, whether
the steel ball may hit the track needs to be determined in combination with the speed
of the hammer and the quantity of the slope ascending tracks.
[0183] Referring to FIG. 23, FIG. 31, and FIG. 32, in this implementation, the tool spindle
30 and the hammer 200 are simultaneously driven by the rotation of the transmission
shaft 10, that is, the tool spindle 30 rotates at the same speed as the hammer 200.
Therefore, the probability of the steel ball hitting the track is also indirectly
related to the rotational speed of the tool spindle 30. In addition, the higher the
rotational speed of the tool spindle 30, the higher the rotational speed of the working
head may be. In a case that the hit energy is met, the higher the rotational speed
of the working head, the higher the drilling efficiency may be. Conversely, if the
rotational speed of the tool spindle 30 is lower, the rotational speed of the working
head may be reduced, leading to poor chip removal capability, large drilling resistance,
poor breaking capability, and then there may be a phenomenon of being unable to hit.
[0184] In other implementations where the tool spindle rotates at the same speed as the
hammer, the tool spindle may directly drive the hammer to rotate, that is, the transmission
shaft drives the tool spindle to rotate, and the tool spindle drives the hammer to
rotate. Compared with this implementation, the technical solution of the transmission
shaft simultaneously driving the tool spindle and the hammer to rotate may save the
axial size, that is, a more compact axial power tool is obtained.
[0185] Influencing factors of the steel ball hitting the track are described in detail below
with reference to FIG. 33. FIG. 33 is a schematic unfolded diagram of a curve guide
233, and FIG. 11 is a schematic view of a guide member.
[0186] In FIG. 11, the curve guide 233 is distributed at 360 degrees on the inner circumferential
surface of the guide member 210. In other implementations, the curve guide may be
distributed at 360 degrees around the outer circumferential surface of the hammer.
FIG. 33 is a schematic view of the curve guide 233 expanded in a circumferential direction.
As shown in the figure, the curve guide 233 includes three evenly distributed, identical
and end-to-end periodic segments, also known as slope ascending tracks. The three
periodic segments or slope ascending tracks are A-B-C-D, A1-B1-C1-D1, and A2-B2-C2-D2
respectively. An end point D of the first periodic segment is connected to a start
point A1 of the second periodic segment, an end point D1 of the second periodic segment
is connected to a start point A2 of the third periodic segment, and an end point D2
of the third periodic segment, that is, the final periodic segment, is connected to
a start point A of the first periodic segment. Herein, "evenly distributed" means
that each of the three periodic segments is distributed at the same angle in the circumferential
direction, "identical" means that each of the three periodic segments includes identical
regional segments, and angles, heights, and lengths of each regional segment are all
identical. In this implementation, each periodic segment includes a horizontal segment
233c, a slope ascending portion 233a, and a descending portion 233b; and lengths of
the horizontal segments are the same, slope ascending heights and slope ascending
angles of the slope ascending portions are the same, and heights and angles of the
descending portions are the same. In other implementations, the horizontal segments
may not be provided, as long as the end point of the descending portion of the first
periodic segment is disconnected from the start point of the next periodic segment,
which may also extend the flight distance of the steel ball in the range of the descending
portion of the first periodic segment.
[0187] Referring to FIG. 33, when an conversion member 232, that is, the steel ball in this
implementation, is in the striking operation mode, and the steel ball is at the end
point C of the slope ascending portion B-C of the first periodic segment, that is,
the highest point, the hammer 200 may continuously rotate, and the steel ball partially
received in the insertion groove 202 on the outer circumferential surface of the hammer
200 may rotate around the axis of the hammer 200 at the same speed with the hammer
200. In a case that the slope ascending height is fixed, the higher the speed of the
hammer 200 and the steel ball, the greater the probability of the steel ball hitting
the slope ascending portion B1-C1 in the next periodic segment; and the more the slope
ascending tracks, the greater the probability of the steel ball hitting the slope
ascending portion B1-C1 in the next periodic segment. On the other hand, the higher
the speed of the hammer 200 is, the higher the probability of the hammer 200 to be
blocked, because, when the motor power is fixed, the higher the rotational speed of
the hammer is, the lower the corresponding output torque may be; and when the output
torque is less than the torque required during the slope ascending, stalling may occur.
[0188] In a case that the rotational speed of the hammer 200 and the quantity of the slope
ascending tracks are fixed, the higher the slope ascending track is, the lower the
probability of the steel ball hitting the slope ascending portion of the next periodic
segment is; however, the higher the height of the slope ascending track, the greater
the axial length of the hammer, and therefore, the longer the body.
[0189] Based on the above analysis, the range of the relative rotational speed of the hammer
relative to the guide member is set to an optimal range of 1000 revolutions per minute
to 2500 revolutions per minute. Moreover, a ratio of the striking frequency of the
hammer to the relative rotational speed of the hammer is 2 times per revolution to
4 times per revolution. The striking frequency of the hammer refers to the number
of times the hammer hits the tool spindle when the tool spindle rotates in one turn,
measured in times per minute, that is, the striking frequency refers to the number
of times the hammer hits the tool spindle when the tool spindle rotates for one minute.
The relative rotational speed of the hammer refers to the relative rotational speed
between the hammer and the guide member, measured in revolutions per minute, that
is, the relative rotational speed of the hammer refers to the number of turns of the
hammer relative to the guide member within one minute. A ratio of the striking frequency
of the hammer to the relative rotational speed of the hammer is 2 to 4, and the corresponding
ratio is measured in times per minute, that is, the number of times the hammer hits
the tool spindle is 2 to 4 in the process of the tool spindle rotating in one turn.
It should be noted that, the striking frequency of the hammer is a positive integer,
the relative rotational speed of the hammer is also a positive integer, but the ratio
of the two may or may not be an integer, that is, may be a positive decimal. The striking
frequency of the hammer increased through the technical solution of increasing the
number of slope ascending portions on the curve guide is increased by an integer multiple.
However, in other technical solutions, the multiple of the increase may be a non-integer.
For example, in some implementations, a speed increasing mechanism may be added between
the transmission mechanism and the hammer striking mechanism. The speed increasing
mechanism is used for increasing a rotational speed output by the transmission mechanism,
so as to increase the rotational speed transmitted to the hammer striking mechanism.
Since the rotational speed output by the transmission mechanism is directly transmitted
to the tool spindle, the rotational speed of the tool spindle is the same as that
output by the transmission mechanism, and then the rotational speed of the hammer
striking mechanism transmitted to the tool spindle may be greater than the rotational
speed of the tool spindle. The multiple of the increase depends on the configuration
of the speed increasing mechanism. Preferably, the speed increasing mechanism may
be a planetary gear speed-increasing mechanism, and a transmission ratio of the planetary
gear speed-increasing mechanism, that is, the ratio of the speed at the output end
to the speed at the input end, is the multiple of the speed increase. The transmission
ratio is sometimes a decimal, and therefore, the multiple of the increase using the
technical solution is likely to be a decimal.
[0190] In other implementations, the planetary gear speed-increasing mechanism may be replaced
with other forms of speed increasing mechanisms, as long as the rotational speed at
the output end of the speed increasing mechanism output is greater than that at the
input end.
[0191] In other implementations, different types of speed increasing mechanisms may be superimposed.
For example, the technical solution of the planetary gear speed-increasing mechanism
may be used in conjunction with the technical solution of increasing the number of
the slope ascending portions on the curve guide, and the multiple of the speed increase
obtained is the product of the transmission ratio of the speed-increasing mechanism
to the number of the slope ascending portions. For example, in other implementations,
the hammer rotates, the guide member provided on an outer side of the hammer does
not rotate, the inner circumferential surface of the guide member is provided with
a curve guide, the number of the slope ascending portions on the curve guide is set
to 2, and the transmission shaft drives the tool spindle to rotate. In addition, a
planetary gear speed-increasing mechanism is provided between the transmission shaft
and the hammer, the transmission shaft drives an input end of the planetary gear speed-increasing
mechanism to rotate, an output end of the planetary gear speed-increasing mechanism
drives the hammer to rotate, the rotational speed of the transmission shaft is the
same as the speed of the input end of the planetary gear speed-increasing mechanism,
the rotational speed of the output end of the planetary gear speed-increasing mechanism
is the same as the speed of the hammer, and the transmission ratio of the planetary
gear speed-increasing mechanism is 1.6. Then, in this implementation, when the tool
spindle rotates in one turn, the number of times the hammer hits the tool spindle
is 3.2, that is to say, in this implementation, the ratio of the striking frequency
of the hammer to the relative rotational speed of the hammer is 3.2, and refer to
the above content for the unit of measurement for the striking frequency of the hammer,
the unit of measurement for the relative rotational speed of the hammer relative to
the guide member, and the unit of measurement for the ratio of the two.
[0192] The relative rotational speed of the hammer described in the present disclosure refers
to the relative rotational speed between the hammer and the guide member. The rotational
speeds being the same described in the present disclosure means that only the values
of the rotational speeds are the same.
[0193] The optimal range of the relative rotational speed of the hammer 200 relative to
the guide member 210 is 1000 revolutions per minute to 2500 revolutions per minute,
the range has a maximum value and a minimum value, and the reason for selecting the
maximum value lies in whether the steel ball hits the track or stalling occurs. In
the process of selecting the maximum value of 2500 revolutions per minute, a large
number of experiments were conducted, which are referred to as an experiment A. Before
the experiment started, the number of the slope ascending portions was first set to
3, and the height of the slope ascending track was set to 9 mm; based on this, a large
number of selective experiments were conducted on the rotational speed of the hammer
200. During the experiment, when the rotational speed of the hammer 200 was less than
or equal to 2300 revolutions per minute, both the steel ball hitting the track and
the stalling did not occur. However, when the rotational speed of the hammer 200 was
equal to 2600 revolutions per minute, motor stalling occurred. To overcome the phenomenon
of the steel ball hitting the track caused by the improper landing point of the steel
ball, on the basis of the original experimental conditions, the rotational speed of
the hammer 200 was set at 2500 revolutions per minute; in this case, there was no
phenomena of the steel ball hitting the track and the stalling.
[0194] The reason for selecting the rotational speed of the hammer 200 as the minimum value
of 1000 revolutions per minute lies in whether the cumulative energy per unit time
is sufficient, and in this implementation, the tool spindle 30 and the hammer 200
were both driven by the rotation of the transmission shaft 10, and were at the same
rotational speed, and therefore, the selection of the minimum speed of the hammer
200 also considers the influence of the low speed of the tool spindle 30. If the rotational
speed of the tool spindle 30 is too small, on the one hand, the chip removal capability
of the drill bit becomes poor, the drilling resistance is large, and then the drilling
efficiency is low; on the other hand, if the rotational speed of the tool spindle
30 is too small, the rotational speed of the drill bit in the striking mode may be
affected, that is, the drilling resistance is affected, the drilling resistance in
a drill and screwdriver mode may also be affected, and then operation experience is
affected.
[0195] During the experiment A, the number of the slope ascending tracks was first selected
as three, and then adjusted to two, and the selection and adjustment of the value
were based on another experiment, which is referred to as an experiment B.
[0196] Before the experiment B started, the rotational speed of the tool spindle 30 was
first set, the selection of the speed was based on the speed of the tool spindle on
a multi-functional drill with an axial striking function in the prior art, a better
speed of 1800 revolutions per minute was selected, and a basis for determining whether
the speed is better may be selecting a speed value above average in the range of the
speed. As for the height of the slope ascending track, a slope ascending height of
10 mm was selected for the experiment; based on this, the number of the slope ascending
tracks was set to two, three, and four respectively, that is to say, when the number
of the slope ascending tracks was two, the hammer 200 hit the tool spindle 30 twice
per revolution; when the number of the slope ascending tracks was three, the hammer
200 hit the tool spindle 30 three times per revolution; and when the number of the
slope ascending tracks was four, the hammer 200 hit the tool spindle 30 four times
per revolution. Then, a drilling experiment at the same depth was conducted on concrete
working surfaces made of the same material with the working head of the same specification,
that is, the drill bit, and the corresponding completion time of the drilling was
recorded in seconds (S). The conventional passive striking drill also participated
in the comparison. The "conventional passive striking" here refers to a striking structure
that realizes axial striking by engagement of dynamic and static end teeth.
[0197] The conventional drill of a dynamic-and-static-end-tooth structure also participated
in the comparison.
[0198] Four samples were given in this experiment, which were "sample 1", "sample 2", "sample
3", and "sample 4" respectively. The "sample 1" indicates that the number of the slope
ascending portions in the cam-type active striking drill is two; the "sample 2" indicates
that the number of the slope ascending portions in the cam-type active striking drill
is three; the "sample 3" indicates that the number of the slope ascending portions
in the cam-type active striking drill is four; and the "sample 4" indicates that the
conventional passive striking structure, that is, a dynamic-and-static-end-tooth passive
striking structure, is used for the striking drill. In addition, a mean value method
was adopted in this experiment, that is, a set of experiments were conducted for each
sample, each set of experiments were repeated six times, the drilling operation was
repeated six times, each operation time was recorded, and a mean value was calculated,
thereby obtaining an average drilling time value of each set of experiments corresponding
to each sample.
[0199] When the height of the slope ascending track was 9 mm, Specific experimental data
during the experiment is shown in Chart 1 below, and experimental results correspondingly
output are shown in a bar graph 2 below.
[0200] In Chart 1, "the curve guide includes two slope ascending portions", "the curve guide
includes three slope ascending portions", and "the curve guide includes four slope
ascending portions" mean that the number of the slope ascending tracks in the active
striking structure of the striking drill is set to two, three, and four respectively.
The "conventional passive striking" means that the striking structure in the striking
drill is a dynamic-and-static-end-tooth striking structure.

Chart 1
[0201] It may be found according to the experimental values and average information in Chart
1 that under the same working condition, different striking structures take different
time to punch holes of the same depth in the same material with the same drill bit,
the shortest time is 5 s, that is, the active striking structure with the number of
the slope ascending tracks being three, that is to say, when the number of the slope
ascending tracks is set to three, the hammer takes the shortest time and has the highest
efficiency when performing three strikings per revolution. The second shortest time
is 6.33 s, that is, the active striking structure with the number of the slope ascending
tracks being four, that is to say, when the number of the slope ascending tracks is
set to four, the hammer takes the second shortest time and has the second highest
efficiency when performing four strikings per revolution. Next, the third shortest
time is 7.86 s, that is, the active striking structure with the number of the slope
ascending tracks being two, that is to say, when the number of the slope ascending
tracks is set to two, the time taken by the hammer to perform two strikings per revolution
is greater than the time taken by the hammer performs three or four strikings per
revolution, the time taken ranks the third, and the efficiency also ranks the third.
The longest time is 8.15 s, that is, the conventional passive striking structure,
that is to say, the time taken by the conventional passive striking structure is greater
than the time taken by the active striking structure, namely, the striking and drilling
efficiency of the conventional passive striking structure is less than that of the
active striking structure.
[0202] The above conclusions can be more intuitively illustrated in Chart 2 below. Chart
2 is a bar graph derived from the average value information in Chart 1.

[0203] It can be intuitively found from Chart 2 that the drilling time of the active impact
structure is shorter than that of the conventional striking structure to complete
the same task under the same working condition. Moreover, in the active striking structure,
when the number of the slope ascending tracks is set to three, the drilling time is
the shortest, the drilling time is the second shortest when the number of the slope
ascending tracks is set to four, and the drilling time is the longest when the number
of the slope ascending tracks is set to two.
[0204] Herein, the drilling efficiency is compared through the drilling time, because when
the same work task is completed under the same working condition, the shorter the
drilling time, the higher the drilling efficiency.
[0205] Later, the slope ascending height was changed to 8 mm and 9 mm. Two groups of experiments
were conducted under the same experimental condition and experimental results obtained
were the same as those obtained when the slope ascending height was 10 mm: the times
taken by the active striking structure to drill are all less than those taken by the
conventional passive striking structure. Moreover, in the active striking structure,
when the number of the slope ascending tracks is three, the time taken is the shortest,
when the number of the slope ascending tracks is four, the time taken is the second
shortest, and when the number of the slope ascending tracks is two, the time taken
is the longest.
[0206] Therefore, when the rotational speed of the hammer is (1000 to 2500) revolutions
per minute, and the number of the slope ascending tracks is (2 to 4), the drilling
efficiency may be the highest.
[0207] Regarding the height of the slope ascending track, the present disclosure also gives
an optimal range, (4 to 15) mm, and an experiment C was conducted to verify the value
range.
[0208] After the rotational speeds of the hammer and the tool spindle and the number of
the slope ascending tracks meet the optimal range, the height of the slope ascending
track may affect the magnitude of the striking energy and the axial length of the
body. In other words, in a case that the rotational speeds of the hammer and the tool
spindle are fixed and the number of the slope ascending tracks is fixed, the higher
the height of the slope ascending track, the greater the compression amount of the
spring is, the greater the energy stored, and the greater the striking energy obtained
by the hammer. However, if the height of the slope ascending track is too high, the
axial length of the hammer may be longer, which undoubtedly increases the length of
the whole machine.
[0209] Before the experiment C started, an experimental condition was first set, the rotational
speed of the hammer was set to 1800 revolutions per minute according to the above
speed range, and the number of the slope ascending tracks was set to three. A data
graph of the correspondence between the heights of the slope ascending tracks and
the striking energy of the striking hammer obtained on this basis is as in the following
Chart 3. The "striking energy" here refers to the energy produced by a single impact
of the hammer, rather than the accumulated impact energy when the hammer rotates in
one turn.

[0210] It may be found according to the data in Chart 3 that when the height of the slope
ascending track is less than 4 mm, the striking energy may be less than 0.1 J; since
a drilling object of the active striking drill includes concrete, the working surface
of the hard material has certain requirements on the striking energy; the striking
energy is too low to break the working surface of the hard material, or even if the
striking energy is barely able to break the working surface, the operation cannot
be performed within the normal drilling efficiency. Therefore, when the height of
the track is less than 4 mm, it is considered unable to meet the requirement of certain
breaking energy.
[0211] When the height of the slope ascending track is 15 mm, the striking energy is 0.9
J, the energy should be sufficient to break a working surface of a common high hardness
material to which the striking drill is adapted. When the slope ascending height is
greater than 15 mm, the striking energy obtained by the hammer can be sufficient or
even excessive, and when the slope ascending height is greater than 15 mm, the axial
length of the whole machine may be increased. Therefore, the height being greater
than 15 mm is not a preferred range.
[0212] In addition, the slope ascending portion has a slope ascending angle, that is, an
inclination angle of a slope ascending surface of the slope ascending portion relative
to the horizontal plane. The horizontal plane refers to the plane perpendicular to
the axis of the hammer or the axis of the tool spindle. In the present disclosure,
a better effect may be had based on the above technical solution and in combination
with the range of the slope ascending angle of the slope ascending portion. Regarding
the slope ascending angle, if the slope ascending angle is too small, due to the limited
circumference length of the circumferential surface of the hammer or the guide member,
the set number of the periodic segments may be restricted, that is, the number of
the slope ascending portions may also be restricted. If the slope ascending angle
is too large, the probability of the hammer stalling during the slope ascending may
increase. Based on the above considerations, the slope ascending angle is set in the
range of 5 degrees to 25 degrees, so that the number of the slope ascending portions
on the curve guide may not be restricted, and the hammer is not likely to stall due
to the failure of slope ascending.
[0213] In addition, in order that the hammer does not stall, the power supplied by the motor
also needs to be within a certain range, which is at least 180 W to 300 W.
[0214] In addition, the rotational speed of the motor shaft is 18000 revolutions per minute
to 26000 revolutions per minute, and to obtain the speed range of 1000 revolutions
per minute to 2500 revolutions per minute of the hammer or the tool spindle, the reduction
ratio of the planetary gear transmission mechanism is required to be in the range
of 7.2 to 26.
[0215] In addition, for the slope ascending portion and the descending portion included
in the curve guide, it needs to be explained that the slope ascending portion can
drive, through the contact with the conversion member, that is, the steel ball, the
hammer to move in the axis direction. For the descending portion, , the descending
portion forms a falling space for making the hammer fall in the space. The steel ball,
as an conversion member, moving past the descending portion should be understood as
that the steel ball is in the falling space formed by the descending portion, and
in another implementation, may also be understood as that the steel ball is on the
surface of the curve guide of the descending portion.
[0216] In another implementation, the descending portion may also function. For example,
the descending portion is obliquely provided and extends away from the slope ascending
portion in a circumferential direction of the guide member; please refer to the diagram
of the descending portion in FIG. 33 for details. In the technical solution, the steel
ball may slide down slowly along the descending portions C-D, C1-D1, and C2-D2, so
that the steel ball is at the highest point of the slope ascending portion, and when
the motor shuts down suddenly, the steel ball can slide down slowly along the descending
portions, preventing the steel ball from directly hitting the tool spindle, because
the hammer hitting the tool spindle may lead to a poor operation experience in the
shutdown state.
[0217] In addition, in another implementation, the hammer striking mechanism may also be
used in conjunction with non-electric-drill tools, as long as the tools need the function
of the hammer striking mechanism, such as an electric hammer, and the tools are not
listed here one by one.
[0218] In addition, in another implementation, the hammer striking mechanism may also be
used as an accessory to be detachably mounted on the main body of the electric drill.
When the active striking function is needed, the accessory is mounted. When the active
striking function is not needed, the accessory is replaced with other functional accessories
needed. The accessory with the hammer striking mechanism is more convenient to use,
and the tool may also have diversified functions.
[0219] Referring to FIG. 37, in the implementation shown, an accessory 730 can be detachably
connected to a tool body 740. The accessory 730 includes a hammer striking mechanism
20, and a tool spindle 30. The tool spindle 30 can bear intermittently reciprocating
axial strikes from the hammer striking mechanism 20. Specifically, the tool spindle
can bear reciprocating axial strikes from the hammer 200.
[0220] The accessory 730 further includes an accessory housing 731 for receiving the hammer
striking mechanism 20. The tool body 740 includes a body housing 741, and the body
housing 741 can receive the motor, a reducing mechanism, and so on in the tool body
740. The accessory housing 731 and the body housing 741 can be detachably connected
to each other, and they may be specifically connected by screw fastening, or axially
connected by clamping, or circumferentially connected by shape fitting.
[0221] In this implementation, the accessory 730 further includes a connecting shaft 733.
The connecting shaft 733 is connected to the tool spindle 30 without relative rotation
to drive the rotation of the tool spindle 30. The connecting shaft 733 can also be
connected to the hammer 200 without relative rotation to drive the hammer 200 to rotate
relative to the guide member 210, thereby implementing slope ascending to compress
the energy storage mechanism 231 and then making the energy storage mechanism 231
to drive the hammer 200 to hit the tool spindle 30.
[0222] In this implementation, the tool body 740 further includes an output shaft 742 for
rotational output. When the accessory 730 is mounted on a handheld tool body, the
output shaft 742 is rotationally connected to the connecting shaft 733 to rotationally
drive the rotation of the connecting shaft 733, thereby driving the rotation of the
tool spindle 30 and the hammer 200. The output shaft 742 on the tool body 740 described
here and the tool spindle 30 on the accessory 730 are two different shafts, the tool
spindle 30 is a shaft for bearing the strikes from the hammer 200, while the output
shaft 742 is a shaft on the tool body 740 and is used as an output portion on the
tool body 740. The output shaft 742 may be fitted with other types of accessories
to implement other corresponding functions.
[0223] In this implementation, the accessory 730 further includes a mounting component 732
detachably connected to the tool spindle 30 for mounting the working head to the tool
spindle 30, so as to enable the tool spindle 30 to rotationally drive the working
head to rotate.
[0224] The specific structure of the mounting component 732 is not shown in FIG. 37. Referring
to the structure in the implementation of FIG. 23, the mounting component 732 may
preferably be a gripper drill chuck, and mainly includes a gripper that can clamp
or loosen the working head, a core for mounting the gripper, a nut sleeve that can
drive the gripper to move back and forth through screw transmission, and so on, and
the descriptions thereof are omitted herein.
[0225] In another implementation, the mounting component may also be other forms of mounting
components that can mount the working head, for example, such a mounting component
(not shown) that includes a clutch member can optionally axially connect the tool
spindle to the working head. Specifically, the clutch member may be a steel ball,
and the steel ball moves between two positions in a groove to make the tool spindle
and the working head switch between two modes of axial connection and axial separation.
The mounting component further includes an operating member that can operate the steel
ball to move from an axial connection position to an axial separation position. The
mounting component further includes a reset member. The reset member is generally
a spring, and the spring can provide a partial pressure to move the ball from the
axial separation position to the axial connection position. In the mounting component,
the rotational connection between the tool spindle and the working head is implemented
by shape fitting. For example, the tail of the working head may be an external hexagonal
column, and the free end of the tool spindle may be set as an internal hexagonal hole.
In addition, the mounting component may also be obtained with reference to a mounting
structure of a driver bit on a screwdriver and a corresponding tool spindle, or a
mounting structure of a hammerhead and a tool spindle on an electric hammer, and the
descriptions thereof are omitted herein.
[0226] The hammer striking mechanism included in the accessory in the implementation of
FIG. 37 is the same as the hammer striking mechanism described above, and the hammer
200 in the hammer striking mechanism 20 can hit the tool spindle 30 to and fro. In
the implementation, the hammer striking mechanism 20 includes a hammer 200, a guide
member 210, a curve guide 233 provided on the guide member, an conversion member 232
provided on the hammer 200, namely, a steel ball, and an energy storage mechanism
231 abutting the hammer 200. When the hammer 200 rotates relative to the guide member
210, the fitting between the curve guide 233 and the conversion member 232, namely,
the steel ball, can implement that the hammer 200 moves in a first direction, and
the energy storage mechanism 231 stores energy at the same time. When the energy storage
mechanism 231 completes energy storage, that is, the hammer 200 performs slope ascending
to the highest point of a slope ascending portion of the curve guide, the energy storage
mechanism 231 may drive the hammer 200 to move in a second direction and then strike
the tool spindle 30.
[0227] In addition, in the implementation shown in FIG. 37, an accessory 730 with a striking
function includes a hammer striking mechanism 20, a mounting component 732, a tool
spindle 30, and a connecting shaft 733 driving the tool spindle 30 and the hammer
200 to rotate.
[0228] In another implementation, the accessory may not include the mounting component.
[0229] In another implementation, the accessory may not include the connecting shaft either,
that is to say, in the implementation, the accessory includes a hammer striking mechanism
and a tool spindle. The tool spindle is used for bearing intermittent reciprocating
strikes from the hammer. The tool spindle is rotationally connected to the output
shaft 742 of the tool body 740. The tool spindle drives one of the hammer and the
guide member to rotate to enable the hammer to perform slope ascending and then implement
striking under the action of the energy storage mechanism. In the implementation,
the tool spindle can also rotationally drives the rotation of the working head.
[0230] In the present disclosure, "connected without relative rotation" may be understood
as that one element can drive another element to rotate and that they are at the same
rotational speed.
[0231] Therefore, in the cam-type active striking structure, the hammer may perform slope
ascending along the axis under the action of a cam track, namely, the curve guide,
and then is driven by the energy storage mechanism to strike the tool spindle. In
different implementations, the cam track, namely, the curve guide, may be provided
at different positions, that is, it may be provided on the hammer or on the guide
member. The setting of the position relation between the guide member and the hammer
may also be different; the guide member may be on an outer circumferential side of
the hammer or on an inner circumferential side of the hammer. Moreover, between the
hammer and the guide member, either the hammer rotates and axially moves with the
guide member fixed, or the hammer only axially moves without rotation and the guide
member rotates. Therefore, the setting manners of the hammer, the guide member, and
the cam track are not limited to this example, and they may also be structurally combined
with each other, as long as the axial movement of the hammer can be implemented. In
this way, the hammer axially moving can provide an energy storage opportunity for
the energy storage mechanism, thereby preparing for hitting the tool spindle. In the
implementation where the hammer only axially moves without rotation, "relative rotational
speed" should be understood as the relative rotational speed at which the hammer rotates
relative to the guide member.
[0232] In the implementation, the speed of the hammer may affect the magnitude of the cumulative
striking energy per unit time and the probability of the steel ball hitting the track.
Therefore, the speed of the striking hammer and the number of times the hammer performs
slope ascending per revolution, namely, the number of slope ascending tracks, are
set in an optimized combination to obtain a relatively high energy output value per
unit time without stalling. The setting of the value range setting of the optimized
combination also satisfies other implementations, as long as the active striking structure
of the implementation includes a hammer and a cam track, and the number of the slope
ascending track in the cam track may affect the number of axial strikes produced by
the rotation of hammer in one turn. Certainly, the same applies to an example where
the hammer only axially moves without rotation. For example, in the implementation,
the hammer only axially moves without rotation, the cam guide member is provided inside
the hammer, the cam track is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the cam
guide member, and rotation of the cam guide member may bring rotation of the cam track,
thereby driving the hammer to axially move. In the implementation, by applying the
optimized combination, the range of the relative rotational speed at which the hammer
rotates relative to the guide member is 1000 revolutions per minute to 2500 revolutions
per minute, and when the number of the slope ascending tracks of the cam track is
2 to 4, the striking energy may be as high as possible under the condition that the
steel ball does not hit the track. In the implementation, the relative rotational
speed at which the hammer rotates relative to the guide member is also the rotational
speed of the guide member.
[0233] In the implementation shown in FIG. 31, the transmission shaft 10 is rotationally
connected to the tool spindle 30 through a flat square, and the transmission shaft
10 and the hammer 200 are optionally rotationally connected through the clutch member
221. Therefore, in the implementation, the tool spindle 30 is at the same rotational
speed as the hammer 200. Therefore, in the experiment A, it is also the optimal combination
of the rotational speed range of the tool spindle and the number of the slope ascending
tracks, and the technical effect achieved is as follows: the drilling efficiency is
as high as possible under the condition that the steel ball does not hit the track.
[0234] In addition, in the implementation of fig. 31, the transmission shaft 10 is rotationally
connected to the tool spindle 30 and the hammer 200, so that the output shaft 30 can
rotate at the same speed as the hammer 200 to achieve a relatively high striking effect.
If there is a speed difference between the rotational speeds of the output shaft 30
and the hammer 200, the hammer 200 may relatively rotate relative to the output shaft
30 while hitting the output shaft 30, which may result in energy loss and reduce the
striking effect. The "rotationally connected" here may be understood as being rotationally
driven, that is, the rotation of the transmission shaft 10 may can be simultaneously
transmitted to the tool spindle 30 and the hammer 200.
[0235] In this implementation, the transmission shaft 10 is sleeved outside the output shaft
30, and the hammer 200 is sleeved outside the transmission shaft 10. such a sleeving
relation in this implementation causes projections of the transmission shaft 10, the
output shaft 30, and the hammer 200 in the axial direction to at least partially overlap
with each other, or the hammer 200 surrounds the transmission shaft 10 and the tool
spindle 30 in at least one plane, thereby saving the axial size, reducing the length
of the body in the axial direction, and making the body wholly short and compact.
[0236] In this implementation, the guide member 210 is sleeved over an outer circumferential
side of the hammer 200, and then the guide member 210 surrounds, in at least one plane,
the hammer 200, the tool spindle 30, and the transmission shaft 10 driving the hammer
200 to rotate. In the technical solution, projections of the guide member 210, the
hammer 200, the tool spindle 30, and the transmission shaft 10 in the axial direction
at least partially overlap with each other, thereby saving the axial size and making
the whole machine short and compact. In the implementation, the guide member is sleeve-like,
and is sleeved outside the hammer. In another implementation, the guide member may
not be sleeve-like, as long as it can be fitted with the hammer and implement axial
movement of the hammer.
[0237] It should be noted that, in the handheld tool of the present disclosure, the handheld
tool includes a transmission mechanism, a hammer striking mechanism, and a tool spindle.
The transmission mechanism includes a transmission shaft rotationally output after
moving past a motor and a gear reducing mechanism, the tool spindle is driven by rotation
of the transmission shaft, and the tool spindle can rotate to drive the working head
to implement rotation of the handheld tool. Moreover, the tool spindle further needs
to bear the strikes of the hammer striking mechanism, and then can transmit the axial
strikes to the working head. The hammer striking mechanism includes a hammer shaft,
the hammer shaft is capable of driving the rotation of the hammer relative to the
guide member, and the rotational driving of the hammer shaft may be directly or indirectly
implemented by the transmission shaft. Here, the hammer shaft being capable of driving
the rotation of the hammer relative to the guide member may be understood as that
the hammer shaft drives one of the hammer and the guide member to rotate, so that
relative rotation can be produced between the hammer and the guide member, and then
the hammer can perform slope ascending relative to the guide member, so as to hit
the tool spindle under the driving of the energy storage mechanism.
[0238] In the present disclosure, the tool spindle, the transmission shaft, and the hammer
shaft have corresponding functions. In the present disclosure, the three shafts with
the corresponding functions are indispensable. However, in another implementation,
the tool spindle may also serve as a hammer shaft, that is to say, there may be a
shaft with two functions: rotationally driving the working head and driving the hammer
to rotate relative to the guide member. In another implementation, the transmission
shaft may also serve as a hammer shaft, that is to say, the transmission shaft drives
the rotation of the tool spindle and can also drive the rotation of the hammer relative
to the guide member.
[0239] In addition, it is found through analysis and research that during the operation
of the striking mode, the steel ball hitting the track may also exist in the following
situation. Specifically, referring to FIG. 23-3, when the tool spindle 30 of the lifting
tool is separated from the working surface, since the handheld tool 1 is not subject
to an axial abutment force, the tool spindle 30 may move from a press position to
a release position under the bias action of the reset member 70. FIG. 31 shows a state
where the tool spindle 30 is at a press position, and FIG. 32 is a state diagram of
the tool spindle 30 at a release position. During the operation of the striking mode,
the tool spindle 30 is at the press position. Compared with the release position,
the press position is closer to the hammer 200 in the axial direction, and before
the hammer 200 hits the tool spindle 30, the spring is still in a compressed state,
that is, the spring has accumulated energy and is ready to release. In this case,
if the tool spindle 30 is separated from the working surface, the tool spindle 30
may be at the release position, that is, farther away from the hammer 200, so that
an impact surface of the hammer 200 may first hit the curve guide 233 on the inner
circumferential surface of the guide member 210 before contacting with an impact surface
of the tool spindle 30, that is, the phenomenon that the steel ball hits the track
occurs. In this case, the damage caused by the steel ball hitting the track is as
follows: the hammer hits the track and then the strike is transmitted to the housing,
which may lead to the burr of the track, the hammer may get stuck, and the strike
may be transmitted to a user.
[0240] The press position of the tool spindle 30 refers to a position where the tool spindle
30 moves due to a down force of an operator when in the working state, and the release
position of the tool spindle 30 refers to a position where the tool spindle 30 moves
under the action of the reset member 70 when in the non-working state. The axial distance
between the tool spindle 30 and the hammer 200 may be understood as an axial distance
between the impact surface of the tool spindle 30 and the impact surface of the hammer
200, and the tool spindle 30 being closers to or farther away from the hammer 200
may also be understood in this way. The impact surface may be understood as an end
surface when an axial hit occurs between the hammer 200 and the tool spindle 30 during
the operation of the striking mode.
[0241] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a technical solution
of providing a cushioning member 710 between the hammer 200 and a striking mechanism
housing 720 in a striking direction of the hammer 200, so that, after the tool spindle
30 returns to the release position, the hammer 200 may directly hit the cushioning
member 710 to unload the striking energy applied to the impact hammer 200 by the energy
storage mechanism 231 and prevent the hammer 200 from directly hitting the striking
mechanism housing 720. The position of the cushioning member 710 is between the hammer
200 and the striking mechanism housing 720. The "between" here may be understood as
between two opposite end surfaces on the hammer 200 and the striking mechanism housing
720 or between planes where the two end surfaces are located, or understood as that
the position of the cushioning member can meet the requirement that the striking energy
can be first released to the cushioning member 710 during the striking of the hammer
200 to a free end portion of the tool spindle 30 and that the cushioning member 710
may release a small amount of energy to the striking mechanism housing 720.
[0242] The cushioning member 710 may be a rubber ring or a spring member. In this implementation,
a rubber ring is used. Moreover, in this implementation, a maximum compression amount
of the buffer 710, specifically a rubber ring, which can be compressed by the hammer
200 is approximately 2 mm. The compression amount of the rubber ring that can be compressed
by the hammer 200 may affect a striking stroke and a cushioning effect. A too large
compression amount may lead to a much smaller striking stroke, which needs to be made
up by lengthening the whole machine. A too small compression amount may lead to reduction
of the cushioning effect.
[0243] Another example is described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 38. A handheld
tool 1 is described in detail. It is worth understanding that the following descriptions
are illustrative rather than specific limitations.
[0244] A handheld tool 1 may include: a housing 80, a power mechanism, a tool spindle 30,
a hammer striking mechanism 20, and so on. The hammer striking mechanism 20 may include:
an intermittent striking component 230, a hammer 200, and a guide member 210. Specific
compositions, functions, structures, and so on of the components in the handheld tool
1 may be obtained with reference to the specific descriptions in the above examples.
[0245] The intermittent striking component 230 may include: a curve guide 233 provided on
one of the hammer 200 and the guide member 210, an conversion member provided on the
other thereof, and an energy storage mechanism 220 abutting the hammer 200. When the
hammer 200 rotates relative to the guide member 210, the curve guide 233 makes, through
the conversion member, the hammer 200 overcome an applied force of the energy storage
mechanism 220 to move in a first direction, and the energy storage mechanism 220 drives
the hammer 200 to move in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The
first direction may be a direction away from a chuck of the handheld tool 1.
[0246] In different examples, specific positions where the conversion member and the curve
guide 233 are provided are different, and motion states respectively corresponding
thereto are also different. As shown in FIG. 11, in some examples, the curve guide
233 may be provided on an inner surface of the guide member 210; and correspondingly,
the conversion member may be located in the hammer 200. In this case, the conversion
member may be the conversion member 232 described in the above example. In use, the
conversion member 232 can guide the hammer 200 to overcome an applied force of the
energy storage mechanism 220 to rotate relative to the guide member 210. In this case,
the conversion member 232 may perform slope ascending in the curve guide 233.
[0247] In some other implementations, the curve guide 233 may be provided on an outer surface
of the hammer 200; and correspondingly, the conversion member may be fixed to the
inner surface of the guide member 210. In use, the guide member 210 and the conversion
member may be in a static state. The hammer 200 drives the curve guide 233 to rotate
relative to the guide member 210 and the conversion member, and the hammer 200 provided
with the curve guide 233 overcomes, under the coordination of the conversion member
and the curve guide 233, the applied force of the energy storage mechanism 220 to
move in the first direction.
[0248] The power mechanism may include a motor 60 and a reducing mechanism 601 reducing
the speed output by the motor 60 for output. Specifically, the reducing mechanism
601 may be a three-stage planetary gear reducing mechanism 601, and certainly, the
reducing mechanism 601 may also be in other forms, which is not specifically limited
here in this application.
[0249] The tool spindle 30 may be a revolving body with a central axis. The tool spindle
30 is driven by the power mechanism and is rotatable around the central axis. The
body of the tool spindle 30 extends in a longitudinal direction, and includes a first
end away from the power mechanism and a second end close to the power mechanism. The
first end of the tool spindle 30 is provided with a chuck for mounting a working head.
The second end of the tool spindle 30 may be directly connected to the reducing mechanism
601 in the power mechanism. Certainly, the second end of the tool spindle 30 may also
be indirectly connected to the reducing mechanism 601 through an intermediate transmission
member. The intermediate transmission member may be the transmission shaft 10, and
certainly, the intermediate transmission member may also be in other forms, which
is not specifically limited here in this application.
[0250] The handheld tool includes at least a striking drilling mode. When the handheld tool
is in the striking drilling mode, that is, used for striking drilling, the tool spindle
30 rotates around the central axis, and while rotationally moving relative to the
guide member 210, the hammer 200 moves to and fro in the direction of the central
axis under the coordination of the intermittent striking component 230 and the guide
member 210 to periodically hit the tool spindle 30. Subsequently, the tool spindle
30 transmits the torque and striking force to the working head on the chuck to achieve
striking drilling.
[0251] The working head may be a drill bit, and certainly, the working head may vary according
to actual application scenarios, which is not specifically limited here in this application.
For the rotational movement of the hammer 200 relative to the guide member 210, specifically,
a speed difference exists between the hammer 200 and the guide member 210. Specifically,
one of the hammer 200 and the guide member 210 may be rotating while the other may
be static. In addition, the hammer 200 and the guide member 210 may be both rotating.
When the hammer 200 and the guide member 210 are both rotating, the hammer 200 and
the guide member 210 may rotate in the same direction with a speed difference, or
the hammer 200 and the guide member 210 may rotate in opposite directions with a speed
difference.
[0252] The handheld tool 1 may have a variety of functional modes. For example, it may include
a striking mode and a non-striking mode on the whole. The striking mode may be specifically
a striking drilling mode or the like, and the non-striking mode may be specifically
a screwdriver mode or the like. Certainly, the specific functional modes may be adaptively
integrated and selected according to actual requirements, which are not specifically
limited here in this application. Correspondingly, a multi-functional handheld tool
may also be provided with a mode adjustment mechanism to switch between different
modes. Specifically, the mode adjustment mechanism, the specific adjustment principle,
and so on may be obtained with reference to the specific descriptions in Example 2,
and the descriptions thereof are omitted here in this application.
[0253] On the one hand, the tool spindle 30 serves as a transmission shaft, and is used
for transmitting the torque of the power mechanism to the chuck, thereby driving the
working head in the chuck to rotate. On the other hand, as a hit member during hit,
a striking force after the hit member is hit by the hammer 200 is transmitted to the
working head through the chuck, thereby implementing striking drilling on the working
head. The tool spindle 30 serves as a hammer shaft in some examples.
[0254] The handheld tool 1 includes a first casing portion 650 for accommodating the hammer
striking mechanism 20. Specifically, an outer contour cross-section of the first casing
portion 650 may be circular or in other shapes, such as a regular polygon, which is
not specifically limited here in this application. The outer contour cross-section
of the first casing portion 650 being circular is mainly taken as an example in the
following. The other shapes may be analogically referred to, and the descriptions
thereof are omitted here in this application.
[0255] The hammer striking mechanism 20 and the mode adjustment mechanism 40 are reasonably
distributed at the first casing portion 650, so that a radial size of the first casing
portion 650 may be controlled within a predetermined size range, such as between 45
mm and 70 mm. Specifically, the mode adjustment mechanism 40 at least partially radially
overlaps with the hammer striking mechanism 20. When the mode adjustment mechanism
40 and the hammer striking mechanism 20 have an overlapping part in the radial direction,
the radial size may be saved to reduce the radial size at the first casing portion
650 to a relatively small range as much as possible, so that the body is compact and
small and is easy to operate, and the user experience is better.
[0256] Specifically, the mode adjustment mechanism 40 at least partially radially overlaps
with at least one of the guide member 210 and the hammer 200.
[0257] For example, as shown in FIG. 21, the mode adjustment mechanism 40 includes a striking
switching ring 430, and the striking switching ring 430 partially overlaps with the
guide member 210 in the radial direction. Besides, in addition to the guide member
210 being overlapping with the striking switching ring 430 in the axial direction
(that is, projections in the axial direction have an overlap), to ensure that the
radial size at the first casing portion 650 is controlled within a predetermined size
range, other parts in the handheld tool 1 may also be reasonably overlapped and distributed
in the radial direction. Certainly, the other parts may be expanded and arranged according
to actual requirements, which are not specifically limited here in this application.
Specifically, the radial size of the first casing portion 650 of the handheld tool
1 may be matched with the specific model, working parameters, part configuration,
and so on of the handheld tool 1.
[0258] For example, as shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, specifically, the mode adjustment mechanism
40 may include a striking switching ring 430 and a mode switching button 450. At least
one of the striking switching ring 430 and the mode switching button 450 at least
partially axially overlaps with the guide member 210.
[0259] The mode switching button 450 operably drives the striking switching ring 430 to
move between a first position and a second position. When the striking switching ring
430 is at the first position, the striking switching ring 430 is engaged with the
hammer striking mechanism 20, relative rotation may be produced between the guide
member 210 and the hammer 200, and the handheld tool 1 is in the striking mode. When
the striking switching ring 430 is at the second position, the striking switching
ring 430 is disengaged from the hammer striking mechanism 20, relative rotation cannot
be produced between the guide member 210 and the hammer 200, and the handheld tool
1 is in the non-striking mode.
[0260] The striking switching ring 430 may be fitted with the guide member 210 in the hammer
striking mechanism 20 to switch the handheld tool 1 between the striking mode and
the non-striking mode. Specifically, the guide member 210 is provided with a first
tooth pattern 212, the striking switching ring 430 is provided with a second tooth
pattern 431. In the striking mode, the first tooth pattern 212 is engaged with the
second tooth pattern 431; in the second striking mode, the first tooth pattern 212
is disengaged from the second tooth pattern 431.
[0261] In other examples, the mode adjustment mechanism 40 may further adopt other structures.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, FIG. 9, and FIG. 13, the mode adjustment
mechanism 40 includes a pressure stop ring 410 and a mode switching button 420. The
pressure stop ring 410 is a striking switching ring, and is used for fitting with
the mode switching button 420 to implement a striking switching function. The pressure
stop ring 410 has overlaps with both the guide member 210 and the hammer 200 in the
radial direction.
[0262] Specifically, the mode switching button 420 is rotationally connected to the housing
80, the striking switching ring is connected relative to the housing 80 without relative
rotation, and the mode switching button 420 drives the striking switching ring to
move along the central axis of the tool spindle 30.
[0263] To enable the handheld tool 1 to work in a narrow space and make an external size
more harmonious and an external appearance more beautiful, the radial size at the
first casing portion 650 is obtained within the range of 45 mm to 70 mm. When the
radial size at the first casing portion 650 of the handheld tool 1 is within the above
range, a ratio of the outer diameter of the hammer striking mechanism 20 to the radial
size of the first casing portion 650 is between 0.6 and 0.9.
[0264] The ratio of the outer diameter of the hammer striking mechanism 20 to the radial
size of the first casing portion 650 may vary according to different configurations
of the parts of the handheld tool 1. The handheld tool 1 may further include a torque
adjustment mechanism, and the torque adjustment mechanism may be used for adjusting
an output torque to adapt to different application conditions.
[0265] Specifically, the torque adjustment mechanism includes any one of the following:
a mechanical torque adjustment structure, and an electronic torque adjustment mechanism.
According to different torque adjustment mechanisms, the ratio of the outer diameter
of the hammer striking mechanism 20 to the radial size of the first casing portion
650 is within different ranges.
[0266] As shown in FIG. 21 and FIG. 22, in an example, the torque adjustment mechanism may
be a mechanical torque adjustment mechanism. The mechanical torque adjustment mechanism
may generally include: an adjustment hood rotatably provided on a casing of the handheld
tool 1, an adjustment unit fitted with the adjustment hood, a cushioning member 440
fitted with the adjustment unit, and so on. The adjustment unit can adjust a compression
amount of the cushioning member 440 when the adjustment hood rotates, and then can
adjust a pre-compression amount of the energy storage mechanism 231 axially linked
with the adjustment unit. The adjustment unit may be in the form of a striking switching
ring 430. An inner side of the adjustment hood may be provided with an internal thread,
correspondingly, an outer side of the striking switching ring 430 is provided with
an internal thread matched with the internal thread, and both are connected by thread
fitting.
[0267] Since the adjustment hood may occupy a certain radial size, the ratio of the outer
diameter of the hammer striking mechanism 20 to the radial size of the first casing
portion 650 is generally not greater than 0.9 at the adjustment hood.
[0268] As shown in FIG. 38, in another example, the torque adjustment mechanism may be an
electronic torque adjustment mechanism. The electronic torque adjustment mechanism
may generally include: a current threshold setting unit electrically connected to
a controller, a current detection unit, and so on.
[0269] In use, a user may select a required current threshold through the current threshold
setting unit according to an actual working condition. After the handheld tool 1 is
started, a working current of the motor is detected through the current detection
unit. When the working current reaches the selected current threshold, the controller
sends a specific control instruction and controls actions of the motor and so on.
The current threshold setting unit may be specifically in the form of a knob, and
certainly may also be in other forms. The current threshold setting unit may be provided
on a casing at a handle position of the handheld tool 1. The current detection unit
may be provided inside the casing at the handle position.
[0270] Compared with the mechanical torque adjustment mechanism, the electronic torque adjustment
mechanism does not need to be provided with the mechanical adjustment hood and the
adjustment unit at the first casing portion 650, and no additional radial size is
occupied. Therefore, the ratio of the outer diameter of the hammer striking mechanism
20 to the radial size of the first casing portion 650 may be controlled to be not
less than 0.6. When the ratio of the outer diameter of the hammer striking mechanism
20 to the radial size of the first casing portion 650 is less than 0.6, the rationality
of arrangement of the elements in the first casing portion 650 is reduced and the
space utilization is low, which may increase the radial size of the first casing portion
650.
[0271] For example, when the hammer striking mechanism 20 is reasonably arranged, a size
difference between the first casing portion 650 and the hammer striking mechanism
20 is a casing provided outside the hammer striking mechanism 20; in this case, the
ratio of the outer diameter of the hammer striking mechanism 20 to the radial size
of the first casing portion 650 may be above 0.6. Theoretically, the larger the better,
and it may be close to 0.9 or so.
[0272] The speed output by the power mechanism is the same as the rotational speed of the
hammer shaft, where the hammer shaft can drive the hammer 200 to rotate relative to
the guide member 210. The mode adjustment mechanism 40 at least partially axially
overlaps with the hammer striking mechanism 20. When the mode adjustment mechanism
40 at least partially overlaps with the hammer striking mechanism 20 in the axial
direction, that is, projections of the mode adjustment mechanism and the hammer striking
mechanism 20 in the axial direction have an overlap, it is conducive to reducing the
length of the whole machine of the handheld tool 1, making the overall appearance
coordinated, and making it easy for the user to hold.
[0273] The hammer shaft may be a shaft that can drive the hammer 200 to rotate relative
to the guide member 210. Specifically, the hammer shaft may vary in different examples.
For example, for an example where a transmission shaft 10 and a tool spindle 30 are
both provided, as shown in FIG. 21, the hammer shaft is a transmission shaft 10, and
the transmission shaft 10 can drive the hammer 200 to rotate relative to the guide
member 210; or as shown in FIG. 27, the hammer shaft is a tool spindle 30, and the
tool spindle 30 can drive the hammer 200 to rotate relative to the guide member 210.
[0274] Since a plurality of slope ascending tracks are provided in the circumferential direction
between the hammer 200 and the guide member 210, in a case where the shaft (the transmission
shaft 10) directly connected to an output end of the power mechanism rotates one turn,
the hammer 200 can implement a plurality of strikes and achieve higher striking efficiency,
without setting an additional hammer speed-increasing mechanism.
[0275] On the whole, an axial length of the body of the handheld tool 1 provided in the
example of the specification may be 185 mm to 250 mm. The axial length may be a length
of the body of the handheld tool 1 in the axis direction corresponding to the tool
spindle 30. Specifically, the axial length of the body of the handheld tool 1 may
include: a housing 80 and a chuck 50 portion extending out of the housing 80, but
does not include a working head (drill bit) portion mounted on the chuck 50. Generally,
the axial length of the body is mainly affected by: the motor 60 provided in the housing
80, the transmission mechanism, and the hammer striking mechanism 20.
[0276] The hammer striking mechanism 20, after a reasonable structural design, has basically
reached size optimization. For example, specifically, the mode adjustment mechanism
40 includes a striking switching ring 430, and the striking switching ring 430 partially
overlaps with the guide member 210 in the axial direction. In addition, various parts
of the hammer striking mechanism 20 are also superimposed with each other in the axial
direction. For example, the guide member 210 and the hammer 200 at least partially
overlap with each other in the axial direction. The intermittent striking component
also at least partially overlaps with the guide member 210 and the hammer 200 in the
axial direction. On the whole, the axial length of the body of the handheld tool 1
may be between 190 mm and 230 mm. If the axial length of the body of the handheld
tool 1 needs to be further reduced, a brushless motor may be used as the motor 60
on condition of meeting the existing working parameters of the handheld tool 1, so
as to further reduce the axial length of the body of the handheld tool 1. The axial
length of the body of the handheld tool 1 provided in the specification may be controlled
on average to be around 200 mm.
[0277] The handheld tool 1 may further include a transmission shaft 10. Specifically, the
transmission shaft 10 is disposed between the power mechanism and the tool spindle
30, and the hammer 200 is sleeved over an outer side of the transmission shaft 10
and is in transmission fitting with the transmission shaft 10. The transmission shaft
10 can simultaneously drive the hammer 200 and the tool spindle 30 to rotate.
[0278] When the transmission shaft 10 can simultaneously drive the hammer 200 and the tool
spindle 30 to rotate, since the hammer 200 and the tool spindle 30 are simultaneously
driven by the transmission shaft 10, no relative rotation exists between them, so
that no additional energy loss may exist in the circumferential direction when the
hammer 200 hits the tool spindle 30, thereby better ensuring that the working head
can output greater striking energy.
[0279] In addition, in a case where the guide member 210 is static and the hammer 200 needs
to be driven to rotationally move along the guide member 210, if the hammer 200 is
driven to rotate not through the output torque of the transmission shaft 10, an additional
transmission mechanism or a combination of a transmission mechanism and a power mechanism
needs to be provided, thereby driving the hammer 200 to rotate relative to the guide
member 210. If a new transmission mechanism or a combination of a transmission mechanism
and a power mechanism is additionally provided, not only may the size of handheld
tool 1 be increased and structural complexity and manufacturing costs be increased,
but also a new control mechanism needs to be introduced in order to ensure rotational
speeds of the hammer 200 and the tool spindle 30 to be consistent.
[0280] The guide member 210 may be sleeved over an outer side of the hammer 200.
[0281] An conversion member 232 and a curve guide 233 are provided between the guide member
210 and the hammer 200, a motion trajectory of the conversion member 232 may be guided
by constructing the specific shape of the curve guide 233, the conversion member 232
may be linked with the hammer 200, and the hammer 200 moves along the trajectory of
the curve guide 233 under the action of the conversion member 232.
[0282] As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, the curve guide 233 may be formed as a ring, and
the curve guide 233 may be circumferentially around the transmission shaft 10. Specifically,
the curve guide 233 may include a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending portion
233b, one end of the descending portion 233b is connected to one end of the slope
ascending portion 233a, and the other end of the descending portion 233b extends toward
the other end of the slope ascending portion 233a. A slope ascending portion 233a
and a descending portion 233b may be fitted to form a slope ascending track. One or
more slope ascending tracks may be provided in the circumferential direction of the
curve guide 233 according to the circumference of the curve guide 233.
[0283] Compared with an example where the guide member 210 is provided on an inner side
of the hammer 200, in the example where the guide member 210 is sleeved over the outer
side of the hammer 200, the circumference of the curve guide 233 can be increased,
so that the curve guide 233 is provided with a plurality of slope ascending tracks
in the circumferential direction, and the striking frequency of the handheld tool
1 is improved on condition of ensuring that the motor does not stall, thereby improving
the striking efficiency of the handheld tool 1.
[0284] In some examples, the curve guide 233 is provided with a plurality of slope ascending
portions 233a and descending portions 233b corresponding to the slope ascending portions
233a in the circumferential direction, and when the conversion member moves past the
slope ascending portions 233a, the hammer 200 moves in a first direction; and when
the conversion member moves past the descending portions 233b, the hammer 200 moves
in a second direction to achieve striking. The number of the slope ascending portions
233a is 2 to 4.
[0285] When the curve guide 233 is provided with 2 to 4 slope ascending portions 233a in
the circumferential direction and when the motor 30 drives the hammer 200 to rotate
in one turn, the number of times the hammer 200 strikes in the direction of the tool
spindle 30 is equal to the number of the slope ascending portions 233a, namely, 2
to 4, and the handheld tool 1 may be ensured to be at a high striking frequency without
the need to increase the rotational speed of the hammer 200 in the circumferential
direction.
[0286] Further, the hammer 200 is movably supported on an inner circumferential surface
of the guide member 210.
[0287] The hammer 200 may be located in an annular cavity between the guide member 210 and
the transmission shaft 10. In the striking mode, the hammer 200 moves to and fro in
the direction of the central axis under the coordination of the intermittent striking
component 230 and the guide member 210 to periodically hit the tool spindle 30. When
the hammer 200 moves to and fro in direction of the central axis, the hammer 200 axially
moves relative to the transmission shaft 10. It is found that, if the hammer 200 directly
abuts against the transmission shaft 10, during axial movement of the hammer 200 relative
to the transmission shaft 10, due to the contact friction between the hammer 200 and
the clutch member 221 during the long-term transmission of torque, the hammer 200
may generate barbs on the inner surface, thereby affecting the axial movement of the
hammer 200, especially reducing the striking energy output to the tool spindle 30
by the hammer 200.
[0288] To overcome the above problems, the hammer 200 may be supported on the inner circumferential
surface of the guide member 210, and clearance fit is provided between the hammer
200 and the transmission shaft 10. Specifically, a clearance is provided between the
inner surface of the hammer 200 and the outer surface of the transmission shaft 10,
for example, a unilateral clearance may be 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. Certainly, the specific
value of the small clearance is not limited to the above example, and is not specifically
limited here in this application. The outer surface of the hammer 200 may abut against
the inner circumferential surface of the guide member 210, and the hammer 200 can
be driven by the transmission shaft 10 to rotate. When the hammer 200 rotates, the
intermittent striking component 230 guides the hammer 200 to linearly move relative
to the guide member 210 according to a preset path and to hit the tool spindle 30
in at least one operating state. During the motion of the hammer 200 relative to the
guide member 210, the motion trajectory of the hammer 200 may be a spiral motion trajectory
combining a circular motion trajectory with a linear motion trajectory.
[0289] Specifically, the composition of the intermittent striking component 230, the structure
of the guide member 210, the principle for forming active striking, and so on may
be all obtained with reference to the specific descriptions in Example 1 to Example
5, and the descriptions thereof are omitted here in this application.
[0290] For the example where the guide member 210 is sleeved outside the hammer 200 and
the hammer 200 is supported on the guide member 210, the curve guide 233 may be provided
on an inner wall of the guide member 210, and an outer wall of the hammer 200 is provided
with an insertion groove for mounting the conversion member 232. Specifically, the
curve guide 233 may by a cam surface formed in the inner wall of the guide member
210. The cam surface includes has a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending
portion 233b, as the conversion member moves toward the descending portion 233b from
the slope ascending portion 233a, the elastic member stores elastic potential energy,
and as the conversion member 232 descends to the descending portion 233b from the
slope ascending portion 233a, the elastic member releases the stored elastic potential
energy to drive the hammer 200 to strike the tool spindle 30, thus forming active
striking.
[0291] Other hand tools are described in detail below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 39.
It is worth understanding that the following descriptions are illustrative rather
than specific limitations.
[0292] A handheld tool 1 may include: a housing 80, a power mechanism, a tool spindle 30,
a hammer striking mechanism 20, and so on. The hammer striking mechanism 20 may include:
an intermittent striking component 230, a hammer 200, and a guide member 210. Specific
compositions, functions, structures, and so on of the components in the handheld tool
1 may be obtained with reference to the specific descriptions in the above examples.
[0293] The intermittent striking component 230 may include: a curve guide 233 provided on
one of the hammer 200 and the guide member 210, an conversion member provided on the
other thereof, and an energy storage mechanism 220 abutting the hammer 200. When the
hammer 200 rotates relative to the guide member 210, the curve guide 233 makes, through
the conversion member, the hammer 200 overcome an applied force of the energy storage
mechanism 220 to move in a first direction, and the energy storage mechanism 220 drives
the hammer 200 to move in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The
first direction may be a direction away from a chuck of the handheld tool 1.
[0294] In different examples, specific positions where the conversion member and the curve
guide 233 are provided are different, and motion states respectively corresponding
thereto are also different. As shown in FIG. 11, in some examples, the curve guide
233 may be provided on an inner surface of the guide member 210; and correspondingly,
the conversion member may be located in the hammer 200. In this case, the conversion
member may be the conversion member 232 described in the above example. In use, the
conversion member 232 can guide the hammer 200 to overcome an applied force of the
energy storage mechanism 220 to rotate relative to the guide member 210. In this case,
the conversion member 232 may perform slope ascending in the curve guide 233.
[0295] In some other implementations, the curve guide 233 may be provided on an outer surface
of the hammer 200; and correspondingly, the conversion member may be fixed to the
inner surface of the guide member 210. In use, the guide member 210 and the conversion
member may be in a static state. The hammer 200 drives the curve guide 233 to rotate
relative to the guide member 210 and the conversion member, and the hammer 200 provided
with the curve guide 233 overcomes, under the coordination of the conversion member
and the curve guide 233, the applied force of the energy storage mechanism 220 to
move in the first direction.
[0296] The power mechanism may include a motor 60 and a reducing mechanism reducing the
speed output by the motor 60 for output. Specifically, the reducing mechanism may
be a three-stage planetary gear reducing mechanism, and certainly, the reducing mechanism
may also be in other forms, which is not specifically limited here in this application.
[0297] The tool spindle 30 may be a revolving body with a central axis. The tool spindle
30 is driven by the power mechanism and is rotatable around the central axis. The
body of the tool spindle 30 extends in a longitudinal direction, and includes a first
end away from the power mechanism and a second end close to the power mechanism. The
first end of the tool spindle 30 is provided with a chuck for mounting a working head
600. The second end of the tool spindle 30 may be directly connected to the reducing
mechanism in the power mechanism. Certainly, the second end of the tool spindle 30
may also be indirectly connected to the reducing mechanism through an intermediate
transmission member. The intermediate transmission member may be the transmission
shaft 10, and certainly, the intermediate transmission member may also be in other
forms, which is not specifically limited here in this application.
[0298] The handheld tool includes at least a striking drilling mode. When the handheld tool
is in the striking drilling mode, that is, used for striking drilling, the tool spindle
30 rotates around the central axis, and the hammer 200 moves to and fro in the direction
of the central axis under the coordination of the intermittent striking component
230 and the guide member 210 to periodically hit the tool spindle 30. Subsequently,
the tool spindle 30 transmits the torque and striking force to the working head 600
on the chuck to achieve striking drilling. The working head 600 may be a drill bit,
and certainly, the working head 600 may vary according to actual application scenarios,
which is not specifically limited here in this application.
[0299] The handheld tool may have a variety of functional modes, for example, it may include
a striking mode and a non-striking mode on the whole. The striking mode may be specifically
a striking drilling mode or the like, and the non-striking mode may be specifically
a screwdriver mode or the like. Certainly, the specific functional modes may be adaptively
integrated and selected according to actual requirements, which are not specifically
limited here in this application. Correspondingly, a multi-functional handheld tool
may also be provided with a mode adjustment mechanism to switch between different
modes. Specifically, the mode adjustment mechanism, the specific adjustment principle,
and so on may be obtained with reference to the specific descriptions in Example 2,
and the descriptions thereof are omitted here in this application.
[0300] On the one hand, the tool spindle 30 serves as a transmission shaft, and is used
for transmitting the torque of the power mechanism to the chuck, thereby driving the
working head 600 in the chuck to rotate. On the other hand, as a hit member during
hit, a striking force after the hit member is hit by the hammer 200 is transmitted
to the working head 600 through the chuck, thereby implementing striking drilling
on the working head 600.
[0301] The following is an analysis of the collision motion involving the hammer 200 and
the tool spindle 30.
[0302] The hammer 200 and the tool spindle 30 are generally made of higher-hardness materials,
and the collision of the two may be equivalent to inelastic collision. The mass of
the hammer 200 is relatively fixed due to axial and radial sizes of the whole machine.
In a case where the mass of the hammer 200 is fixed, to obtain higher striking efficiency,
the tool spindle 30 serving as a hit member with a lower mass may obtain greater striking
energy.
[0303] In theory, the tool spindle 30 serving as the hit member with a lower mass is better.
However, as the tool spindle 30 serves as the transmission shaft 10, it has certain
strength requirements. On the whole, on condition that the material of the tool spindle
30 is given, the larger the span of a support bearing for supporting the tool spindle
30 (that is, the larger the length of the tool spindle 30), and the larger the diameter
of the cutter bearing, the greater the strength of the tool spindle 30.
[0304] Based on the above, to reduce, on condition that the tool spindle 30 meets strength
requirements, the mass of the tool spindle 30 as much as possible to obtain higher
striking energy so as to obtain higher striking efficiency, the range of the mass
of the tool spindle 30 is between 40 g and 100 g.
[0305] Specifically, the range of the mass of the tool spindle 30 may be adaptively adjusted
according to an actual usage scenario, such as the magnitude of the torque transmitted.
For example, for a small-torque handheld tool (such as a 20-Nm electric drill), the
shaft strength is required to be small due to the small torque transmitted, the diameter
of the tool spindle 30 may be small, and therefore the mass is low, which may be close
to or equal to 40 g.
[0306] For a large-torque electric drill (such as an 80-Nm electric drill), the shaft strength
is required to be great due to the large torque transmitted, the diameter of the tool
spindle 30 is required to be large, and therefore the mass is high, which may be close
to or equal to 100 g.
[0307] According to some examples, the handheld tool may further include a transmission
shaft 10. Specifically, the transmission shaft 10 is disposed between the power mechanism
and the tool spindle 30, and the hammer 200 is sleeved over an outer side of the transmission
shaft 10 and is in transmission fitting with the transmission shaft 10. The transmission
shaft 10 can simultaneously drive the hammer 200 and the tool spindle 30 to rotate.
[0308] When the transmission shaft 10 can simultaneously drive the hammer 200 and the tool
spindle 30 to rotate, since the hammer 200 and the tool spindle 30 are simultaneously
driven by the transmission shaft 10, no relative rotation exists between them, so
that no additional energy loss may exist in the circumferential direction when the
hammer 200 hits the tool spindle 30, thereby better ensuring that the working head
600 can output greater striking energy.
[0309] In addition, in a case where the guide member 210 is static and the hammer 200 needs
to be driven to rotationally move along the guide member 210, if the hammer 200 is
driven to rotate not through the output torque of the transmission shaft 10, an additional
transmission mechanism or a combination of a transmission mechanism and a power mechanism
needs to be provided, thereby driving the hammer 200 to rotate relative to the guide
member 210. If a new transmission mechanism or a combination of a transmission mechanism
and a power mechanism is additionally provided, not only may the size of handheld
tool be increased and structural complexity and manufacturing costs be increased,
but also a new control mechanism needs to be introduced in order to ensure rotational
speeds of the hammer 200 and the tool spindle 30 to be consistent.
[0310] Further, according to some examples, the transmission shaft 10 is a hollow revolving
body, a portion of the tool spindle 30 close to the first end extends into the transmission
shaft 10, and the range of the mass of the tool spindle 30 is between 50 g and 80
g.
[0311] For the transmission shaft 10 provided with a hollow revolving body structure, a
portion thereof is sleeved outside the tool spindle 30, and one end close to the power
mechanism is fitted with the bearing, for providing a radial support for the tool
spindle 30. Part of the support function of the tool spindle 30 is shared by sleeving
the transmission shaft 10 outside the tool spindle 30, so that both the axial length
and the diameter of the tool spindle 30 may be reduced to some extent. Specifically,
the range of the mass of the tool spindle 30 may be reduced to between 50 g and 80
g.
[0312] For example, for a small-torque handheld tool, such as an electric drill, the strength
thereof needs to be guaranteed to have a certain safety factor, so the minimum mass
of the tool spindle 30 may be improved to some extent.
[0313] For a large-torque handheld tool, such as an electric drill, in a case where the
torque is guaranteed, the head size of the handheld tool should be comprehensively
taken into consideration. Too much redundancy in size leads to problems in appearance
and accessibility. Therefore, the mass of the tool spindle 30 may be appropriately
reduced by setting the sleeving relation between the transmission shaft 10 and the
tool spindle 30, so as to ensure an optimal combination of the size, the appearance,
and the performance.
[0314] According to some examples, the guide member 210 may be sleeved over an outer side
of the hammer 200.
[0315] An conversion member 232 and a curve guide 233 are provided between the guide member
210 and the hammer 200, a motion trajectory of the conversion member 232 may be guided
by constructing the specific shape of the curve guide 233, the conversion member 232
may be linked with the hammer 200, and the hammer 200 moves along the trajectory of
the curve guide 233 under the action of the conversion member 232.
[0316] As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 12, in some examples, the curve guide 233 may be formed
as a ring, and the curve guide 233 may be circumferentially around the transmission
shaft 10. Specifically, the curve guide 233 may include a slope ascending portion
233a and a descending portion 233b, one end of the descending portion 233b is connected
to one end of the slope ascending portion 233a, and the other end of the descending
portion 233b extends toward the other end of the slope ascending portion 233a. A slope
ascending portion 233a and a descending portion 233b may be fitted to form a slope
ascending track. One or more slope ascending tracks may be provided in the circumferential
direction of the curve guide 233 according to the circumference of the curve guide
233.
[0317] Compared with an example where the guide member 210 is provided on an inner side
of the hammer 200, in the example where the guide member 210 is sleeved over the outer
side of the hammer 200, the circumference of the curve guide 233 can be increased,
so that the curve guide 233 is provided with a plurality of slope ascending tracks
in the circumferential direction, and the striking frequency of the handheld tool
is improved on condition of ensuring that the motor does not stall, thereby improving
the striking efficiency of the handheld tool.
[0318] Further, the hammer 200 is movably supported on an inner circumferential surface
of the guide member 210.
[0319] In some examples, the hammer 200 is located in an annular cavity between the guide
member 210 and the transmission shaft 10. In the striking mode, the hammer 200 moves
to and fro in the direction of the central axis under the coordination of the intermittent
striking component 230 and the guide member 210 to periodically hit the tool spindle
30. When the hammer 200 moves to and fro in direction of the central axis, the hammer
200 axially moves relative to the transmission shaft 10. It is found that, if the
hammer 200 directly abuts against the transmission shaft 10, during axial movement
of the hammer 200 relative to the transmission shaft 10, due to the contact friction
between the hammer 200 and the steel ball 221 during the long-term transmission of
torque, barbs may be generated, thereby affecting the axial movement of the hammer
200, especially reducing the striking energy output to the tool spindle 30 by the
hammer 200.
[0320] To overcome the above problems, the hammer 200 may be supported on the inner circumferential
surface of the guide member 210, and a clearance is provided between the hammer 200
and the transmission shaft 10. Specifically, small-clearance fit may be provided between
the inner surface of the hammer 200 and the outer surface of the transmission shaft
10, for example, a unilateral clearance may be 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. Certainly, the specific
value of the small clearance is not limited to the above example, and is not specifically
limited here in this application. The outer surface of the hammer 200 may abut against
the inner circumferential surface of the guide member 210, and the hammer 200 can
be driven by the transmission shaft 10 to rotate. When the hammer 200 rotates, the
intermittent striking component 230 guides the hammer 200 to linearly move relative
to the guide member 210 according to a preset path and to hit the tool spindle 30
in at least one operating state. During the motion of the hammer 200 relative to the
guide member 210, the motion trajectory of the hammer 200 may be a spiral motion trajectory
combining a circular motion trajectory with a linear motion trajectory.
[0321] Specifically, the composition of the intermittent striking component 230, the structure
of the guide member 210, the principle for forming active striking, and so on may
be all obtained with reference to the specific descriptions in Example 1 to Example
5, and the descriptions thereof are omitted here in this application.
[0322] For the example where the guide member 210 is sleeved outside the hammer 200 and
the hammer 200 is supported on the guide member 210, the curve guide 233 may be provided
on an inner wall of the guide member 210, and an outer wall of the hammer 200 is provided
with an insertion groove for mounting the conversion member 232. Specifically, the
curve guide 233 may by a cam surface formed in the inner wall of the guide member
210. The cam surface includes has a slope ascending portion 233a and a descending
portion 233b, as the conversion member moves toward the descending portion 233b from
the slope ascending portion 233a, the elastic member stores elastic potential energy,
and as the conversion member 232 descends to the descending portion 233b from the
slope ascending portion 233a, the elastic member releases the stored elastic potential
energy to drive the hammer 200 to strike the tool spindle 30, thus forming active
striking.
[0323] In some examples, referring to FIG. 39, the first end of the tool spindle 30 is provided
with a mounting hole 613 for clamping the working head 600, an outer side close to
the first end of the tool spindle 30 is provided with a mounting accessory, and the
mounting hole 613 and the mounting accessory form a quick-change chuck 610 for mounting
the working head 600. The working head 600 is movable along the central axis after
being clamped into the quick-change chuck 610.
[0324] The quick-change chuck 610 may be in the form of a Special Direct System (SDS) output
head. Specifically, the main body of the quick-change chuck 610 may be formed by the
first end of the tool spindle 30. The first end of the tool spindle 30 is provided
with a mounting hole 613 for being clamped with the working head 600, and after the
working head 600 is inserted into the mounting hole 613, the two can form a circumferentially
limited clamping structure.
[0325] In a specific example, a structure with a plurality of protrusions 611 and pits 612
matching with each other may be formed in the circumferential direction at a position
where the working head 600 is fitted with the mounting hole 613. Specifically, the
protrusion 611 may be provided on an inner wall of the mounting hole 613 or provided
on the working head 600. Similarly, the pit 612 may be provided on the working head
600 or provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 613. For example, the mounting
hole 613 may be wholly a round hole, and a plurality of protrusions 611 are provided
in the circumferential direction on a hole wall of the mounting hole 613. Correspondingly,
an outer wall at one end of the working head 600 clamped with the mounting hole 613
is provided with pits 612 matched with the protrusions 611.
[0326] The number of the protrusions 611 may be two, and the two are symmetrically distributed
in the circumferential direction of the tool spindle 30. The pits 612 on the working
head 600 may be classified into two groups, one of which is used for matching the
protrusions 611 to transmit the torque, hereinafter referred to as torque transmission
pits. Specifically, the group of torque transmission pits may include two pits provided
in opposite directions of the circumferential direction of the working head 600. Specifically,
the torque transmission pits on the working head 600 is in a semi-open form, and is
provided with an opening on one side close to the casing. When the torque transmission
pits of the working head 600 are clamped with the protrusions 611 of the mounting
hole 613, the working head 600 is static relative to the circumferential direction
of the tool spindle 30 without relative rotation, so it can be driven by the tool
spindle 30 to achieve synchronous rotation.
[0327] In addition, the working head 600 may be further provided with another group of pits
for accommodating the steel ball, hereinafter referred to as steel ball locking pits,
to prevent the working head 600 from falling from the quick-change chuck 610. The
group of steel ball locking pits may include two pits provided in opposite directions
of the circumferential direction of the working head 600. The steel ball locking pit
is a long non-penetrating groove, the diameter of the steel ball is less than the
length of the steel ball locking pit. After the working head 600 is stuck into the
quick-change chuck 610, it can make a small range of axial displacement along the
central axis of the tool spindle 30, so as to coordinate with the striking mode to
achieve striking drilling.
[0328] In another specific example, the mounting hole 613 may be in the form of an internal
hexagonal hole. When the mounting hole 613 is an internal hexagonal hole, the cross
section of one end of the working head 600 clamped with the mounting hole 613 is hexagonal.
After the working head 600 with the hexagonal cross section is loaded into the internal
hexagonal hole, the working head 600 is relatively static relative to the tool spindle
30 in the circumferential direction and may relatively move in the axial direction.
[0329] When the chuck is in the form of the quick-change chuck 610, the sum of the mass
of the quick-change chuck 610 and the tool spindle 30 ranges from 50 g to 150 g. The
mass range is determined mainly based on that the mass range of the tool spindle 30
is between 40 g and 100 g and the mass of the mounting accessory of the quick-change
chuck 610 is generally between 10 g and 50 g.
[0330] Specifically, the mounting accessory may vary according to different specific forms
of the quick-change chuck 610. For example, when the quick-change chuck 610 is mounted
in the same manner as the internal hexagonal hole, the mounting accessory mainly includes
elements such as a connecting steel ball, the mass of which is about 10 g. When the
quick-change chuck 610 is mounted in a "four pits" mounting manner, the mounting accessory
mainly includes elements such as a locking sleeve, a steel ball, and a pressing plate,
the mass of which is about 50 g. Certainly, the quick-change chuck 610 is not limited
to the above description, and those skilled in the art may further make other changes
under the teaching of the technical essence of this application, but as long as the
functions and effects achieved are the same as or similar to those in this application,
the changes should be encompassed within the protection scope of this application.
[0331] Referring to FIG. 21 or FIG. 23 or FIG. 27, in some other examples, the first end
of the tool spindle 30 is provided with a gripper chuck by fixed connection, and the
gripper chuck includes: a core with one end fixed to the first end of the tool spindle
30, an operating shell sleeved outside the core, and a chuck connected to the core.
[0332] For the gripper chuck, the chuck thereof may generally include three split claws.
The three split claws may grip the working head 600 of different sizes and different
cross sections, and have good versatility on the whole. The gripper chuck has a core.
The core may be wholly a hollow revolving body, and one end thereof may be sleeved
at the first end of the tool spindle 30. The core and the tool spindle 30 may be connected
and fixed by thread or in other means at the fitting position. The other end of the
core may also be connected to the split claws by threaded connection or in other manners.
A tapered bore with a predetermined conical degree is formed at the position where
the core is fitted with the split claws. When the core rotates relative to the split
claws, the split claws may be opened or closed. In addition, the specific transmission
relation, the specific connection manner, and so on of the gripper chuck may be obtained
with reference to the specific descriptions in the above implementation, and the descriptions
thereof are omitted here in this application.
[0333] In a case of striking drilling, since the chuck and the tool spindle 30 as a whole
serve as a hit member, the lower the mass, the better. The density of the core may
be between 1 g/cm
3 (grams per cubic centimeter) and 8 g/cm
3 (grams per cubic centimeter). Specifically, a material of the core may be selected
from any one of the following: plastic, aluminum, steel, and so on. In principle,
provided that the core has sufficient strength, the density of the core is preferred
to be small.
[0334] When the chuck is a gripper chuck, the sum of the mass of the gripper chuck and the
tool spindle 30 ranges between 120 g and 450 g.
[0335] Main factors affecting the mass of the gripper chuck may include: a material of the
core, a specific structure of the core, and a material of the operating shell. For
the gripper chuck in FIG. 21 or FIG. 23 or FIG. 27, in a case where the material of
the operating shell is plastic, if the material of the core is plastic, the sum of
the mass of the core and the operating shell is about 80 g; if the material of the
core is aluminum, the sum of the mass of the core and the operating shell is about
160 g; and if the material of the core is steel, the mass of the core is about 260
g. In a case where the material of the operating shell is steel, if the material of
the core is steel, the mass of the core is about 300 g. In addition, if the structure
of the core is improved to such an extent that it can be fitted with the two groups
of split claws, the mass of the core may be increased to some extent, such as to about
350 g. Certainly, when the core is of other uncommon structures, the mass thereof
may be even greater, which is not specifically limited here in this application.
[0336] When the chuck is a gripper chuck, after all the factors affecting the mass of the
chuck are comprehensively considered, the mass range of the gripper chuck may be between
80 g and 350 g, and correspondingly, the sum of the mass of the gripper chuck and
the tool spindle 30 may be between 120 g and 450 g.
[0337] As shown in FIG. 21, FIG. 23, and FIG. 25 to FIG. 27, the tool spindle 30 is fixedly
connected to the chuck 50 by threaded connection. Specifically, in this example, one
end of the tool spindle 30 close the chuck 50 is provided with an external thread
300, the core 501 of the chuck 50 is provided with a threaded hole 500 matching the
external thread 300, and the tool spindle 30 and the chuck 50 are connected through
the external thread 300 and the threaded hole 500.
[0338] The chuck 50 includes a core 501, a claw 502, and a locking ring 503. The locking
ring 503 is sleeved over the core 501, the claw 502 for clamping a tool head is provided
at an end portion of the core 501, and the core 501 is provided with a threaded hole
500. Preferably, to make the kinetic energy of the hammer 200 be more efficiently
transferred to the tool head when the hammer hits the tool spindle 30, make the tool
head obtain more kinetic energy, and improve the drilling efficiency, based on the
principle of momentum conservation in inelastic collision, the tool head needs to
obtain a greater speed after impact, and to this end, the mass of the chuck 50 may
be reduced. Here, preferably, the density of a material for manufacturing the core
501 is 1 g/cm
3 to 5 g/cm
3. For example, the core 501 may be made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy material.
The density of a material for manufacturing the claw 502 is 5 g/cm
3 to 8 g/cm
3. For example, the claw 502 may be made of a stainless steel material to thus guarantee
the strength of the claw 502. In a case where the strength meets the requirements,
the core 501 may be made of a plastic material, so that the tool head may obtain more
kinetic energy after impact than that using the core made of aluminum or an aluminum
alloy.
[0339] The rated torque of the handheld tool 1 is less than or equal to 55 Nm. The rated
torque means that the handheld tool 1 may work normally within a range of the rated
torque. If the handheld tool 1 works in excess of the rated torque, an abnormal condition
such as a reduced service life or a damaged part may occur to the handheld tool 1.
It may be understood that the strength of the core 501 is less than that of the core
made of stainless steel because the core 501 is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy
and the aluminum or aluminum alloy cannot be thermally treated. Moreover, the core
501 needs to be adapted to the working head, the claw 502, and other parts with standard
specifications, so it is inconvenient to improve its structure to make the core 501
have higher strength. By limiting the rated power of the handheld tool 1, the drilling
speed may be improved while the normal operation of the handheld tool 1 is ensured.
[0340] The torque, the speed, and the power of the motor have the following relationship:
T=9549*P/n.
[0341] Specifically, T represents the rated torque of the handheld tool 1 in Nm; P represents
the maximum power of the motor, in KW; and n represents the speed output by the motor
after reduction through the reducer, which is, in this implementation, the speed of
the tool spindle in revolutions per minute (r/min). When the rated torque of the handheld
tool 1 is less than or equal to 55 Nm, 55≥9549P/n may be obtained, that is, n/P≥173.618,
and n/P≥174 may be obtained by rounding.
[0342] It may be understood that, because the density of the material of the core 501 is
1 g/cm
3 to 5 g/cm
3, the mass of the core 501 is lower than that of the core made of stainless steel
of the prior art, and then the overall mass of the handheld tool 1 may be reduced.
Moreover, since the core 501 is located in the front of the handheld tool 1 and the
handle for holding the handheld tool is located in the middle and back of the handheld
tool 1, the reduction of the mass of the core 501 may also shift the center of gravity
of the handheld tool 1 toward the handle, making the center of gravity of the handheld
tool 1 close to the handle, making it easy to hold the handle to operate the handheld
tool 1, and making it comfortable to hold.
[0343] Two handheld tools different only in the materials of the core 501 are used for drilling.
The handheld tools are provided with the same tool head with the diameter of 8 mm
to drill 50-mm-deep holes in the concrete. That is to say, two handheld tools different
only in the materials of the core 501 are used for drill two holes of the same size
in the same material in the same environment. Each handheld tool drilled three times.
The time spent in drilling by the two handheld tools was recorded, and the average
time spent for each handheld tool was calculated for comparison. The drilling efficiency
is obtained by dividing the drilling depth by the time spent in drilling. As shown
in Table 4, the average time spent in drilling was 15.26 seconds for one handheld
tool with a steel chuck core and was 10.00 seconds for the other handheld tool with
an aluminum chuck core. As can be seen, the use of the core made of aluminum or an
aluminum alloy can improve the drilling efficiency of the handheld tool 1 and shorten
the time spent in drilling. In the above experiment, the time may be shortened by
about 30%, exhibiting a significant effect.

[0344] The present disclosure further provides a chuck accessory, including a chuck 50,
a tool spindle 30, and a hammer striking mechanism 20. The tool spindle 30 is fixedly
connected to the chuck 50. The hammer striking mechanism 20 includes a hammer 200.
The hammer 200 can strike the tool spindle 30 to and fro along the axis direction
of the tool spindle 30. The chuck accessory is used for being detachably connected
to an output shaft of a handheld tool body. The output shaft of the handheld tool
body described here and the tool spindle are two different shafts, the tool spindle
is used for bearing an impact from the hammer, while the output shaft is a shaft in
the handheld tool body. The output shaft may be a transmission shaft or an output
shaft of a reducer. The output shaft is an output portion on the handheld tool body
and is used for outputting power of rotation. The handheld tool body is used for providing
power, and the output shaft of the handheld tool body may be fitted with other types
of accessories to implement other corresponding functions.
[0345] It may be understood that although specific implementations of the present disclosure
are described in detail in the above examples, it should be still noted that:
- (1) The hammer striking mechanism 20 is not limited to the above structure, and the
hammer striking mechanism should be understood in particular as a hammer striking
mechanism including at least one hammer 200 linearly moving to and fro along the axis
direction of the tool spindle. For example, the hammer striking mechanism elastomatically
and/or pneumatically and/or hydraulically drives the hammer by means of a chute device,
a bearing, and/or an eccentric unit. Therefore, the hammer striking mechanism may
be a pneumatic hammer striking mechanism or an eccentric hammer striking mechanism.
Particularly, the pneumatic hammer striking mechanism may be provided as a crank connecting
rod mechanism to drive a piston of a compressed cylinder to move to and fro to produce
compressed air, and the compressed air drives the hammer to hammer the tool spindle.
Particularly, the eccentric hammer striking mechanism may be provided as a hammer
striking structure which rotates to produce a linear motion perpendicular to an axis
of rotation of a rotational motion. Preferably, the eccentric hammer striking mechanism
includes an eccentric element connected to the driving element without relative rotation.
- (2) In the present invention, the guide member 210 is not limited to being sleeved
over the outer circumferential wall of the hammer 200. In another implementation,
the guide member may also be provided on an inner circumferential side of the hammer,
as long as the relative rotation between the guide member and the hammer can implement
the axial motion of the hammer.
[0346] The technical features of the above examples may be arbitrarily combined, and not
all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described
for the sake of brevity; however, as long as there is no contradiction in the combinations
of the technical features, they shall be considered as falling within the scope of
the specification.
[0347] The above examples express only several implementations of the present invention,
and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot
be interpreted as limitations to the scope of the invention patent. It should be indicated
that those of ordinary skill in the art can further make deformations and improvements
without departing from the conception of the present invention, all of which fall
within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope
of the invention patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
