The motor 100a has a motor 100a shaft which rotates along the first axis 101. The impact drill 100 further includes a transmission assembly 200. The transmission assembly 200 connects the motor 100a shaft and the output shaft 110. The motor 100a through the transmission assembly 200 drives the output shaft 110 to rotate.
Referring to
The transmission assembly 200 includes a first planet gear set 260, a second planet gear set 270 and a third planet gear set 290. The second planet gear set 270 is disposed between the first planet gear set 260 and the third planet gear set 290. The first planet gear set 260 includes a first planet gear 261 and a first planet carrier 262. The second planet gear set 270 includes a second planet gear 271 and a second planet carrier 272. The transmission assembly 200 includes a sun gear 210. The sun gear 210 is connected to the motor 100a shaft and is driven by the motor 100a to rotate. The first planet gear 261 is configured to mesh with the sun gear 210.
The transmission assembly 200 further includes a first-stage ring gear 263 disposed in the gearbox. The first-stage ring gear 263 meshes with the first planet gear 261. Multiple first planet gears 261 are provided. The multiple first planet gears 261 are configured to mesh with the sun gear 210. The motor 100a through the sun gear 210 drives the first planet gear 261 to rotate. The sun gear 210 and the first planet gear 261 form meshing teeth which transmit power. The apex circle diameter of the meshing teeth 211 of the sun gear is set to be smaller than the apex circle diameter of the meshing teeth 2611 of the first planet gear. Thus, the number of teeth of the meshing teeth 2611 of the first planet gear is greater than the number of teeth of the meshing teeth 211 of the sun gear.
The first planet carrier 262 includes a first transmission plate 2621, a first support frame 2622 and a first output portion 2623. The first support frame 2622 and the first output portion 2623 are formed on two sides of the first transmission plate 2621 respectively. The first support frame 2622 is inserted into the first planet gear 261 and rotatably connected to the first planet gear 261. Thus, the first planet gear 261 can drive the first planet carrier 262 to rotate around the first axis 101 during operation. Meshing teeth are formed on the peripheral side of the first output portion 2623. The first output portion 2623 is configured to mesh with the second planet gear set 270, thereby implementing the transmission connection of the first planet gear set 260 and the second planet gear set 270.
Multiple second planet gears 271 are provided. The multiple second planet gears 271 externally mesh with the first output portion 2623. That is, the first output portion 2623 of the first planet gear set forms the sun gear of the second planet gear 271. The transmission assembly 200 further includes a second-stage ring gear 273. Internal teeth are formed on the inner circumference of the second-stage ring gear 273. The second-stage ring gear 273 meshes with the second planet gear 271. The second planet gear 271 is rotatably connected to the second planet carrier 272. The second planet carrier 272 includes a second transmission plate 2721, a second support frame and a second output portion 2723. The second support frame and the second output portion 2723 are formed on two sides of the second transmission plate 2721 respectively. The second support frame is inserted into the second planet gear 271 and rotatably connected to the second planet gear 271 so that the second planet gear 271 can drive the second planet carrier 272 to rotate around the first axis 101 during operation. Meshing teeth are formed on the peripheral side of the second transmission plate 2721 and the second output portion 2723.
The second-stage ring gear 273 meshes with the second planet gear 271. The second-stage ring gear 273 includes multiple first locking teeth 274. The first-stage ring gear 263 is provided with second locking teeth 264 mating with the first locking teeth 274. The second locking teeth 264 and the first locking teeth 274 are staggered along a circumferential direction of the first axis 101. When the second locking teeth 264 are connected to the first locking teeth 274, the second locking teeth 264 stop the rotation of the first locking teeth 274 relative to the second locking teeth 264. Specifically, when the second locking teeth 264 are connected to the first locking teeth 274, the second-stage ring gear 273 and the first-stage ring gear 263 are fixed in the gearbox 121.
The third planet gear set 290 includes a third planet gear 291, a drive gear 292, a third-stage ring gear 293 and a shaft lock mechanism 294. The third-stage ring gear 293 meshes with the third planet gear 291. The drive gear 292 is used to mount the third planet wheel 291. The drive gear 292 includes a third transmission plate 2921 and a third support frame 2922. The third support frame 2922 is formed on one side of the third transmission plate 2921. The second planet gear set 270 is located on another side of the third transmission plate 2921. The second output portion 2723 meshes with the third planet gear 291 through the third transmission plate 2921. The third support frame 2922 is inserted into the third planet wheel 291 and rotatably connected to the third planet wheel 291 so that the third planet wheel 291 can drive the drive gear 292 to rotate around the first axis 101 during operation. The third support frame 2922 is inserted into the shaft lock mechanism 294. Moreover, the shaft lock mechanism 294 is connected to the output shaft. The output shaft 110 includes a flat position mating with the shaft lock mechanism 294. A portion of the output shaft 110 is disposed in the shaft lock mechanism 294 so that the output shaft 110 and the drive gear 292 can rotate synchronously.
The transmission assembly 200 further includes a switching member 240. The switching member 240 includes a swing frame 241 and a switching knob 242 disposed on the housing assembly 120. The switching knob 242 is used for a user to operate. The swing frame 241 can be moved to at least a first speed change position and a second speed change position. When the swing frame 241 switches between the first speed change position and the second speed change position, the second-stage ring gear 273 moves along the axial direction of the first axis 101. Specifically, the second-stage ring gear 273 moves back and forth along the axial direction of the first axis 101. As shown in
When the swing frame 241 is in the first speed change position, the second locking teeth 264 and the first locking teeth 274 are staggered along the circumferential direction of the first axis 101. Specifically, the second locking teeth 264 are connected to the first locking teeth 274. When the swing frame 241 is in the second speed change position, the second locking teeth 264 and the first locking teeth 274 are disengaged along the circumferential direction of the first axis 101. When the swing frame 241 is in the first speed change position, the second locking teeth 264 abuts the first locking teeth 274 to stop the rotation of the second-stage ring gear 273. That is, the second-stage ring gear 273 is non-rotatable relative to the gearbox 121 around the first axis 101. At this time, a second-stage planet gear set plays a role in deceleration. Moreover, the transmission assembly 200 overall outputs a first transmission ratio. When the swing frame 241 is moved to the second speed change position, the second locking teeth 264 are no longer abut the first locking teeth 274. Thus, the second-stage ring gear 273′ can rotate relative to the gearbox 121 so that the second-stage ring gear 273′ and the second planet gear 271 rotate synchronously. The second-stage planet gear set 270 has no deceleration effect. At this time, the transmission assembly 200 overall outputs a second transmission ratio. The first transmission ratio is greater than the second transmission ratio.
In other examples, the second locking teeth may be disposed on the gearbox or other non-rotatable components relative to the housing assembly 120. The component forming the second locking teeth is limited to non-rotatable relative to the housing assembly 120 and selectively connected to the first locking teeth. Moreover, when connected to the first locking teeth, the component can stop the first locking teeth from rotating around the first axis 101.

The impact drill 100 further includes a function conversion member 340. The function conversion member 340 includes a stop portion 341 configured to stop the movement of the lock pins 310 along the first axis 101 and a release portion 342 configured to allow the movement of the lock pins 310 along the first axis 101. The operation member 330 is connected to the function conversion member 340. The operation member 330 is configured to drive the function conversion member 340 to rotate around the first axis 101 to switch the stop state of the movement of the lock pins 310 along the first axis 101. The operation member 330 is a rotary drum sleeved on the housing assembly 120. The operation member 330 can be operated to move around the first axis. The operation member 330 is provided with a boss or a groove along the direction perpendicular to the first axis. That is, the inner sidewall of the operation member 330 is provided with a boss or a groove toward the center of the circle. The function conversion member 340 is provided with a groove or a boss mating with the boss or groove of the operation member 330, and this forms a stop structure 345 configured to stop the movement of the function conversion member 340 along the first axis 101. The operation member 330 rotates around the first axis to drive the function conversion member 340 to rotate around the first axis, thereby switching the position of the function conversion member 340.
As shown in
The function conversion member 340 includes a first position and a second position. When the operation member 330 rotationally drives the function conversion member 340 to rotate to the second position, and the lock pins 310 are aligned with the release portion 342 in the first axis 101, a user adjusts the biasing force provided by the biasing element 320 for the lock pins 310 by adjusting the amount of compression of the biasing element 320 by rotating the torque adjustment ring 350. The lock pins 310 are subjected to the rotary torque of the locking teeth 2732 and the biasing force of the biasing element 320. At this time, if the pressure generated by the rotary torque of the locking teeth 2732 to which the lock pins 310 are subjected cannot exceed the biasing force of the biasing element 320, the lock pins 310 will drive the third-stage ring gear 293 to stop rotating. Moreover, the drive gear 292 can output power to the output shaft 110. At this time, if the pressure of the locking teeth 2732 to which the lock pins 310 are subjected can exceed the biasing force of the biasing element 320, the lock pins 310 will move along the axial direction and cross the locking teeth 2732. Moreover, the drive gear 292 cannot output power through the output shaft 110. Torque adjustment of the torque output tool is implemented by adjusting the biasing force of the biasing element 320.
When the operation member 330 rotationally drives the function conversion member 340 to rotate to the first position, the lock pins 310 are aligned with the stop portion 341 in the first axis 101. In this example, the stop portion 341 of the function conversion member 340 abuts the first step portion of the lock pins 310. The lock pins 310 are locked by the function conversion member 340 so that the impact drill 100 outputs power with maximum torque.

The fixed impact mechanism 410 includes fixed impact teeth 411. The fixed impact teeth 411 are connected to the housing assembly 120. The dynamic impact mechanism 420 includes dynamic impact teeth 421. The dynamic impact teeth 421 can move along the first axis 101 with the output shaft 110. The fixed impact teeth 411 are in clearance fit with the output shaft 110. In this example, the fixed impact teeth 411 are in small clearance fit with the output shaft 110. Moreover, the output shaft 110 can rotate relative to the fixed impact teeth 411 around the first axis 101 and reciprocate along the axial direction of the first axis 101.
The impact mechanism further includes a leg 430. In this example, the dynamic impact mechanism 420 forms the leg 430. A mating portion 440 is formed on the fixed impact mechanism 410. The dynamic impact mechanism 420 is configured to be driven by the operation member 330 to rotate around the first axis 101 so that the mating portion 440 and the leg 430 are aligned or staggered along the axial direction of the first axis 101. The mating portion 440 is a boss or groove formed on the fixed impact mechanism 410.
When the operation member 330 drives the function conversion member 340 to rotate to the first position, the operation member 330 can be switched to the first state to make the impact drill 100 switch to the hammer shift mode, or the operation member 330 can be switched to the second state to make the impact drill 100 switch to the drill shift mode. When the operation member 330 drives the function conversion member 340 to rotate to the second position, the operation member 330 can be switched to the second state to make the impact drill 100 switch to the screw shift mode. Therefore, a user can adjust the function of the impact drill 100 by rotating the operation member 330. The impact drill 100 can be adjusted to the drill shift mode, the screw shift mode or the hammer shift mode successively.
When the operation member 330 drives the function conversion member 340 to rotate to the first position, the operation member 330 can be switched to the first state, and the impact drill 100 is switched to the hammer position. In this example, the operation member 330 drives the function conversion member 340 to rotate to the first position, and the operation member 330 is driven and the leg 430 is rotated to make the operation member in the first state. Specifically, the stop portion 341 abuts the first step portion of the lock pins 310, and the leg 430 is aligned with the groove of the mating portion 440. Alternatively, the leg 430 and the boss of the mating portion 440 are staggered so that the dynamic impact mechanism 420 can move relative to the housing assembly 120 along the axial direction of the first axis 101, and so that the output shaft 110 can impact along the first axis 101. The operation member 330 is operated to rotate to drive the function conversion member 340 to rotate to the first position. Moreover, the operation member 330 can be switched to the second state, and the impact drill 100 is switched to the drill shift mode. In this example, the operation member 330 drives the function conversion member 340 to rotate to the first position. Moreover, the operation member 330 is driven and the leg 430 is rotated to make the operation member in the second state. Specifically, the stop portion 341 abuts the first step portion of the lock pins 310, and the leg 430 and the groove of the mating portion 440 are staggered. Alternatively, the leg 430 abuts the boss of the mating portion 440 so that the impact drill 100 outputs the rotation with the maximum torque without generating the impact motion. The operation member 330 is operated to rotate to drive the function conversion member 340 to rotate to the second position. At this time, the operation member 330 can be switched to the second state, and the impact drill 100 is switched to the screw shift mode. In this example, the operation member 330 drives the function conversion member 340 to rotate to the second position. Moreover, the operation member 330 is driven and the leg 430 is rotated to make the operation member in the second state. Specifically, the stop portion 341 and the lock pins 310 are staggered, the lock pins 310 can pass through the release portion 342, and the leg 430 and the groove of the mating portion 440 are staggered, or the leg 430 and the boss of the mating portion 440 are aligned. Thus, the output shaft 110 does not make an impact motion, and the impact drill 100 has a function of adjusting torque.
