Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a directly driving electromotive jack device for releasing a torsional force, which can be carried in a car; and the electromotive jack can be lifted or descended through a simple and convenient operation by the user.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The current used jack used in a small car is almost operated manually. The operation way is to shake a bow shape handle to lift or descend an arm of the jack. In operating process, it is often that the jack is tilt due to an improper force applied thereon. Thus, a large force is necessary. This is difficult for a women. Besides, the prior art jack has a large volume or a heavy weight for enhancing the stability thereof. This is a larger burden to a women.
Therefore, electromotive jacks are developed. However, some torsional force releasing means are necessary to be connected between the jack and the motor. Since the structure is complex, and the cost is high and heavy burdens can not be lifted, Therefore, this prior art electromotive jack does not be used widely. Moreover, a motor with larger power and a heavy weight is used, and therefore, it is hard for a women to transfer it.
Therefore, there is an eager demand for a novel directly driving electromotive jack device for releasing a torsional force so as to improve the aforesaid defects in the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a directly driving electromotive jack device for releasing a torsional force; wherein the torsional force releasing means comprises a positioning plate for fixing the electromotive motor; two or more than two symmetric arms of torsional force; a bearing for passing through the electromotive motor; a switch connected to the driving screw rod. The electromotive motor is fixed to the positioning plate by a plurality of studs. The arms of torsional force serve to connect the positioning plate with pivotal shafts of the jack. The rotary shaft of the electromotive motor and the driving screw rod are positioned in a same central line. The driving screw rod passes through the bearing and the sleeve. The bearing is fixed on the pivotal shafts and is positioned between the pivotal shafts and the sleeve; and the sleeve is connected with the rotary shaft of the electromotive motor.
The aforesaid torsional force releasing means serves to combine the rotary shaft of the electromotive motor with the sleeve. When the rotary shaft of the electromotive motor rotates, the torsional force can be cancelled by the torsional force releasing means for preventing the jack from generating a strain or being tilt; moreover, by a switch of a 12 to 15 volts DC power source in a car to control the direction of the current flow, the jack can be lifted or descended.
The present invention has the following effect:
1. A car or a heavy article can be lifted upwards steadily and safely.
2. The present invention has a simple structure and a lightweight so that a woman can operate the present invention.
3. The operation of the present invention is simple, the operator is only necessary to switch the direction of the jack, then the jack can be lifted or descended.
4. After the torsional force is released, the jack is prevented from staining or tilting.
5. The present invention can be mass-produced, and thus the manufacturing cost is lowered.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when reading in conjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
EMBODIMENTS In the following, the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with the append figures.
With reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2
, the exploded perspective view and assembly view of the electromotive jack in the present invention are illustrated. In these figures, an electromotive jack
10
includes a jack
20
, a torsional force releasing means
30
, an electromotive motor
40
and a driving screw rod
21
. The jack
20
is formed by two upper lifting arms
22
, two lower lifting arms
23
, two pivotal shafts
24
connecting to the upper lifting arms and lower lifting arms, a connecting block
25
being connected to the two upper lifting arms by the axial stud
251
, a seat
261
fixed to the two lower lifting arms by the axial stud
261
, a top pad
27
fixed to the connecting block, and a driving screw rod
21
passing through the two pivotal shafts, and a bearing
28
being passed through by the driving screw rod. When the driving rod
21
rotates in different directions, the pivotal shafts
24
will lift or descend. This jack is a prior art design. However, the structure, function, and operation are performed along prior art ways. Thus, the detail will not be described in the following.
The electromotive motor
40
is formed by a small type motor
41
and a deceleration gearbox
42
. In the deceleration gearbox
42
, a deceleration gearbox is formed by star gears or by worms or worm gears. Besides, a sleeve
211
serves to connect the rotary shaft
43
and the driving screw rod
21
of the electromotive motor. Further, a stud
212
(or a pin, or a key) are used to fix the two components.
The torsional force releasing means
30
includes a positioning plate
31
for fixing the electromotive motor and two arms
32
of torsional force, a bearing
28
on the driving screw rod
21
(see
FIG. 3A
) and a sleeve
211
. The arm of torsional force has an approximate L shape. The horizontal end thereof may be welded with the pivotal shafts
24
. The vertical end thereof is welded with the positioning plate
31
. A plurality of studs
33
serve to fix the positioning plate
31
to the electromotive motor
40
. A through hole
311
is formed in the center of the positioning plate for being passed through by the rotary shaft
43
of the electromotive motor. Moreover, the driving screw rod
21
passes through the bearing
28
to be connected to the sleeve
211
. Furthermore, the bearing
28
is welded to the pivotal shaft
24
.
Referring to
FIGS. 3A and 3B
, when the small type motor
41
drives the deceleration gearbox
42
to further drive the driving screw rod
21
, the torque from the electromotive motor
40
must be cancelled by the torsional force releasing means
30
. By canceling the torque, the stability is increased for preventing the jack
20
from being tilt due to instability of the center of gravitation. Besides, one end of the seat
26
is extended with a prolonging block
262
with a larger area. The prolonging block
262
is like a sector or a rectangular. The prolonging block serves to prevent the center of gravitation of the electromotive motor
40
from instability before conduction of the electromotive motor
40
so as to be balanced as it is grounded.
One end of the aforesaid arm
32
of torsional force is a horizontal end. It can be installed with a small tilt angle. This angle is within a range of 30 degrees (see FIG.
4
). If the angle is over 30 degrees, then as the upper lifting arm
22
and lower lifting arm
23
are lifted, the end portion (as shown by the arrow in the figure) of the lifting arm near the pivotal shaft
24
will collide the
32
of torsional force so as not to be lifted. If the angle is small than 30 degrees, then it will not collide the arm
32
of torsional force (see
FIG. 5
) and thus it can be lifted or descended successfully.
The structural exploded perspective view and assembly view of another embodiment of the electromotive jack according to to the present invention are illustrated in
FIGS. 6 and 7
. The difference of this embodiment from the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
is that the torsional force releasing means
30
is replaced by a torsional force tube
34
welded to the lateral side of the pivotal shaft of the jack
24
. The front side of the electromotive motor
40
is installed with a sleeve
44
. After the sleeve
44
is connected with the torsional force tube
34
, they can be fixed by a small stud
35
(referring to
FIGS. 8A and 8B
) or pins. Moreover, one end of the driving screw rod
21
has a bearing cover
213
. A bearing
28
is placed in the bearing cover. The bearing
28
is firmly welded to the end portion
214
of the driving screw rod for inserting into the deceleration gearbox
42
so as to be combined with an internal rotary shaft. Next, the small type motor
41
of the electromotive motor
40
is installed within the deceleration gearbox
42
(in prior art, it is installed out of the deceleration gearbox) so as to be formed with an inverse L shape. By this structure, the whole length of the jack can be shortened, and thus the space occupied is reduced.
The aforesaid structure is needless to use a motor positioning plate. Moreover, the torsional force tube
34
serves to release the torsional force or torque generated by the electromotive motor
40
for preventing the jack
30
from instability and thus being tilt.
Another embodiment of the electromotive jack of the present invention is illustrated in FIG.
9
. The difference of this embodiment from the embodiment shown in
FIG. 2
is that the top pad
27
on the connecting block
25
is replaceable. The top pad
27
may be replaced by other top pad of different structure. Next, the arm
32
of torsional force may be formed by symmetric two pieces or a plurality of symmetric pieces. Moreover, the electromotive motor
40
is installed with a switch for switching a DC current to be flown in one of two opposite direction so as to control the rotational direction of the motor.
FIGS. 10
to
12
are a schematic view showing the switch for switching the DC current to control the motor.
FIG. 10
shows that after the switch
60
is pressed leftwards, the DC motor
60
rotates in one direction. On the contrary, after the switch
60
is pressed rearwards (see FIG.
11
), the DC motor
41
rotates in a reverse direction. If the switch
60
do not be pressed (see FIG.
12
), then the two polarities will be inputted with negative current to be in a static condition. Furthermore, the DC power source of the motor can be supplied from the battery of a car or a cigar igniter of a car, while the switch can be installed in a motor or a power wire.
FIG. 13
shown another embodiment of the present invention, the jack of the present invention has a light weight and a stable center of gravitation, and thus, can be operated easily. Furthermore, the load can be supported by a DC current. It can be taken easily by a women. Therefore, a heavy load, such a car
9
, can be supported easily.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details described thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have been suggested in the foregoing description, and others will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
