MANUAL SCREWDRIVER

Abstract

A manual screwdriver includes a handle, a screwdriver head at a fore end of the handle, a spiral rod connecting with the screwdriver head, and an operating component coiling around the spiral rod. The handle defines a cavity and a slot communicating the cavity to exterior space. The slot is formed along an axial direction of the handle. The spiral rod defines a spiral groove thereon and being rotatably received in the cavity. The operating component includes an engaging block solidly embedded in the slot and a thimble extending through the engaging block. The thimble is driven by an external force to insert into the spiral groove of the spiral rid. The engaging block can slide along the axial direction of the handle via an elastic element to drive the spiral rod and the screwdriver head to synchronously and circularly rotate relative to the handle.

Description

FIELD

The subject matter herein generally relates to a screwdriver, and particularly to a manual screwdriver.

BACKGROUND

In the machine field, a screwdriver can be applied to lock fasteners such as screw bolts onto a target object. A traditional screwdriver usually includes a handle and a screwdriver head fixed onto one of two ends of the handle. In operation, the user applies a torque onto the handle to drive the screwdriver head to rotate about an axis of rotation. However, applying the torque manually is labor-consuming and not convenient.

Namely, the spiral groove 31 is arranged to be inclined to an axis of rotation of the spiral rod 30. In detail, an intersection angle between the spiral groove 31 and the axis of rotation of the spiral rod 30 is an acute angle. Alternatively, the spiral groove 31 also could be merely defined at the outer surface of the spiral rod 30 and spaced from the third cavity 32, it is namely that a depth of the spiral groove 31 is less than a thickness of the spiral rod 30.

The first connecting pin 24 is releasably connected to the second connecting pin 26 via screw bolt (not shown) penetrating the through hole 2411 on the shaft pole 241 and the through holes 262 on the second connecting pin 26. The third elastic element 27 is located between the snap ring 25 and the second connecting pin 26. The third elastic element 27 provides an elastic elasticity to prevent the snap ring 25 form moving to the second connecting pin 26. Accordingly, the screwdriver head 20 is releasably connected to the second connecting pin 26.

The second bearing 34 is sleeved onto the second connecting pin 26. The second bearing 34 is arranged on the step 1222 of the cap 12. A top end of the second bearing 34 resists the bottom surface of the latching ring 263, and the second bearing 34 is sandwiched between the latching ring 263 and the step 1222. Accordingly, the screwdriver head 20 is connected to the cap 12.

The first main body 11 is screwed onto the cap 12. The connecting portion 122 is connected to the connecting head 113 by screwing the outer threads 1220 and the inner threads 1161. The operating component 60 is coupled to the top end of the spiral rod 30, and the spiral rod 30 is inserted into the first cavity 118 along the first groove 1142. The bottom end of the spiral rod 30 is coupled to the top end of the second connecting pin 26 by resisting a top surface of the latching ring 263. Then spiral rod 30 and the second bearing 34 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the latching ring 263. The second elastic element 50 is sleeved onto the first main body 111. The first bearing 33 is arranged on the step portion 1131 of the first main body 111. The first bearing 33 is connected with the spiral rod 30 via the third connecting pin 35. The first bearing 33 and the top end of the spiral rod 30 are respectively sleeved onto two opposite ends of the third connecting pin 35 and interferingly fixed.

The first elastic element 40 is received in the second main body 112. The pressing plate 15 is arranged on the first elastic element 40. The bush 14 is connected with the second main body 112 with a fixing component (not shown) passing through the connecting hole 153 and the insertion holes 143. Two opposite ends of the first elastic element 40 respectively and rightly resist the pressing plate 15 and the positioning block 1121 without deformation. Finally, the second main body 112 is connected with the rear cover 13 by screwing the outer threads 119 and the inner threads 134. The thimbles 63 of the operating component 60 are wrapped by the operating portion 142 of the bush 14 by resisting the inner surface of the operating portion 142.

FIG. 5 illustrates a cross sectional view of the manual screwdriver 1 in working state. In operation, the screwdriver head 20 engages the fastener such as screw bolt, and the user pushes the bush 14 to move toward the screwdriver head 20 along the handle 10. The first elastic element 40 and the second elastic element 50 are compressed, and the free end of each thimble 63 slides into the positioning step 145 along the inclined surface 144 of the operating portion 142. Another end of each thimble 63 opposite to the free end of is pressed to insert the spiral groove 31 of the spiral rod 30 along the radial direction of the spiral rod 30. The spring 64 is compressed to make the operating component 60 and spiral rod 30 connected along the axial direction of the spiral rod 30. When the bush 14 is further moved toward to the screwdriver head 20, since the operating component 60 could only slide in the first groove 1142 along the axial direction of the first main body 111. The spiral rod 30 connecting with the firs bearing 33 and the second bearing 34 are driven to rotate in a clockwise direction about the axis of rotation of the spiral rod 30 relative to the handle 10, thereby enabling the screwdriver head 20 to synchronously and circularly rotate with the spiral rod 30.

A maximum elasticity of the second elastic element 50 is designed to be not enough to drive the spiral rod 30 to counter-rotate. When the first elastic element 40 is compressed to its maximum, the fastener such as screw bolt hasn't be tightly screwed. Thereafter the force applied onto the bush 14 is withdrawn, the bush 14 is pushed upward by the first elastic element 40 to make the thimbles 63 slide out of the positioning step 145 via the inclined surface 144, the spring 64 resiles to separate the thimbles 63 from the spiral rod 30 along the axial direction of the spiral rod 30, finally the operating component 60 is driven to move upward to the top end of the spiral rod 30 by the second elastic element 50. The user can repeat the above operation for tightly screwing the fastener such as screw bolt to complete a work cycle.

In the present embodiment, by taking advantages of screw principle, a linear movement of the operating component 60 in the first groove 1142 is converted into a rotation movement of the spiral rod 30, thereby enabling the screwdriver head 20 to synchronously and circularly rotate with the spiral rod 30. It is convenient and labor-saving for the user to operate the manual screwdriver 100. The thimbles 63 firstly slide out of the positioning step 145 and are axially separated from the spiral rod 30 once the force applied onto the bush 14 is withdrawn, so as to prevent the spiral rod 30 from rotating counter-clockwise, and thereby to increase a screwing efficiency of the faster such as screw bolt.

In addition, different components of the manual screwdriver 100 are releasably combined together, so the manual screwdriver 100 can be assembled or disassembled with ease and efficiency. For example, when the screwdriver head 20 needs to be replaced, the user can push the snap ring 25 to move toward the first connecting pin 24 until the fasteners (not shown) is completely exposed out from the snap ring 25. Finally, the user can easily take out the fastener (not shown) and disengage the screwdriver head 20 from the handle 10.

In the present embodiment, the first main body 111, the second main body 112, the cap 12 and the rear cover 13 are separately molded and then releasably connected and assembled to increase an agility of the manual screwdriver 100.
