This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) of Chinese Patent Application No. CN 202011294600.5, filed on Nov. 18, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.
A router is a power tool for finishing woods, such as cutting, grooving, and trimming woods. The router needs to be installed on a router table when in use, and a wood moves stably on the router table so that the router can finish the wood.
In the existing art, screws and other connection pieces are generally used to directly fix and install the router on the router table. This installation method not only has a complicated connection process but also has low installation efficiency; moreover, since multiple screws are utilized, it is difficult to ensure that the router is flush with a table top of the router table after connected so that the wood is jammed during machining and finally machined with low precision.
A power device includes a power tool, a mounting plate, and a mounting table. The mounting plate is detachably connected to the power tool. The mounting table is for installation of the mounting plate. The power device further includes a positioning assembly and a locking assembly. The positioning assembly includes a positioning piece, where a positioning space is formed between the positioning piece and the mounting table, and an end of the mounting plate is enabled to be inserted into the positioning space so that the mounting plate is pre-positioned. The locking assembly includes a movable piece and a locking piece, where the movable piece includes a support position where the mounting plate is supported and an unlocked position where support for the mounting plate is released, and the locking piece fixes at least the mounting plate to the mounting table.
In one example, the movable piece is provided with a guide groove, the mounting table is provided with a guide rod, the guide rod passes through the guide groove, and the movable piece is movable with respect to the mounting table through the guide groove.
In one example, the locking piece includes bolts, where the bolts fixedly connect the mounting plate to the mounting table.
In one example, the locking piece includes a first screw rod and a first nut screwed to the first screw rod, the first screw rod is fixedly connected to the mounting table, and the first nut is enabled to be screwed to the first screw rod, so as to lock the movable piece and the mounting table.
In one example, the power device further includes an auxiliary locking assembly, where the auxiliary locking assembly includes a pressing piece and an auxiliary locking piece, the pressing piece is capable of abutting against a side of the mounting plate facing away from the mounting table, and the auxiliary locking piece is capable of locking the pressing piece and the mounting table.
In one example, the auxiliary locking piece includes a second screw rod and a second nut screwed to the second screw rod, the second screw rod is fixedly connected to the mounting table, and the second nut is enabled to be screwed to the second screw rod, so as to abut against the pressing piece.
In one example, the pressing piece and the positioning piece are disposed on the same side of the mounting plate.
In one example, a foolproof assembly is disposed between the mounting table and the mounting plate, the foolproof assembly includes a protrusion and a groove, one of the protrusion or the groove is disposed on the mounting table, the other of the protrusion or the groove is disposed on the mounting plate, and the protrusion is inserted into the groove while the end of the mounting plate is inserted into the positioning space.
In one example, the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of sets of positioning holes, each of the plurality of sets of positioning holes are arranged in a circle, and the plurality of sets of positioning holes are distributed on circles of different diameters.
In one example, the power device further includes a depth adjustment assembly configured to adjust an operation depth of the power tool, where the mounting plate is provided with an escape hole that allows the depth adjustment assembly to pass through.
During installation, the end of the mounting plate is inserted into the positioning space so that the mounting plate is pre-positioned, the movable piece is moved to the support position, and the mounting plate and the mounting table are locked through the locking piece. Therefore, the mounting plate is pre-supported by the movable piece so that a user does not need to hold and support the mounting plate by hand, thereby improving convenience of installation. During disassembly, after the mounting plate and the mounting table are unlocked through the locking piece, due to pre-support of the positioning piece and the movable piece, the mounting plate and the power tool will not fall so that the user moves the movable piece to the unlocked position and then pulls the mounting plate out of the positioning space. The power device is installed by simple operations and with high efficiency and can be used immediately after installation. Since the positioning space pre-positions the mounting plate and the movable piece pre-supports the mounting plate, after assembly is completed, it can be ensured that a router is flush with a desktop of a router table without the need to adjust flatness, thereby ensuring the machining precision.

As shown in
The power device further includes a mounting plate 100 configured to detachably connect the router to the router table. Specifically, the router is detachably connected to the mounting plate 100. Optionally, the mounting plate 100 is provided with multiple positioning holes 101, the router is provided with multiple connection holes, the multiple positioning holes 101 and the multiple connection holes are arranged in a ring or rectangle according to requirements, and each of multiple screws passes through a respective one of the multiple positioning holes 101 and a respective one of the multiple connection holes so that the router is detachably connected to the mounting plate 100. To expand the scope of use and enable routers of different specifications to be installed on the mounting plate 100 of one specification, the mounting plate 100 is provided with multiple sets of positioning holes 101, each set of positioning holes 101 are arranged in a circle, and the multiple sets of positioning holes 101 are distributed on circles of different diameters so that when the routers of different specifications are installed, different sets of positioning holes 101 can be selected for use according to positions of the connection holes on the router.
After the assembly of the router and the mounting plate 100 is completed, the mounting plate 100 is connected to the router table.
The power device further includes a positioning assembly and a locking assembly. The positioning assembly includes a positioning piece 300. A positioning space is formed between the positioning piece 300 and the mounting table 200. An end of the mounting plate 100 can be inserted into the positioning space so that the mounting plate 100 is pre-positioned. The locking assembly includes a movable piece 400 and a locking piece. The movable piece 400 includes a support position where the mounting plate 100 is supported and an unlocked position where support for the mounting plate 100 is released. The locking piece fixes at least the mounting plate 100 to the mounting table 200.
During installation, the end of the mounting plate 100 is inserted into the positioning space so that the mounting plate 100 is pre-positioned, the movable piece 400 is moved to the support position, and the mounting plate 100 and the mounting table 200 are locked through the locking piece. Therefore, the mounting plate 100 is pre-supported by the movable piece 400 so that a user does not need to hold and support the mounting plate 100 by hand, thereby improving convenience of installation. During disassembly, after the mounting plate 100 and the mounting table 200 are unlocked through the locking piece, due to pre-support of the positioning piece 300 and the movable piece 400, the mounting plate 100 and the power tool will not fall so that the user moves the movable piece 400 to the unlocked position and then withdraws the mounting plate 100 from the positioning space. The power device is installed by simple operations and with high efficiency and can be used immediately after installation. Since the positioning space pre-positions the mounting plate 100 and the movable piece 400 pre-supports the mounting plate 100, after assembly is completed, it can be ensured that the router is flush with a desktop of the router table without the need to adjust flatness, thereby ensuring machining precision.
Specifically, an installation groove is disposed on a bottom surface of the mounting table 200, and the mounting plate 100 can be placed in the installation groove. The positioning space is enclosed between the positioning piece 300 and the installation groove. In this example, the mounting plate 100 is a rectangular plate, the installation groove is correspondingly configured to be a rectangular groove, and a dimension of the rectangular groove is slightly greater than a dimension of the rectangular plate, so as to reduce the difficulty of installing the mounting plate 100 into the installation groove. The positioning piece 300 may be plate-shaped, block-shaped, or in other shapes, and the positioning piece 300 and the mounting table 200 may be locked through screws.
To smoothly position the mounting plate 100 in the installation groove, a foolproof assembly is disposed between the mounting table 200 and the mounting plate 100, the foolproof assembly includes a protrusion and a groove, one of the protrusion or the groove is disposed on the mounting table 200, the other of the protrusion or the groove is disposed on the mounting plate 100, and the protrusion is inserted into the groove while the end of the mounting plate 100 is inserted into the positioning space. The cooperation between the protrusion and the groove can limit the end of the mounting plate 100.
In this example, the locking piece includes bolts 411, installation holes are disposed on a periphery of the mounting plate 100, such as four corners of the mounting plate 100, and the bolts 411 are threadedly connected to the mounting table 200 through the installation holes. The mounting plate 100 and the mounting table 200 are locked through the bolts 411. The positioning piece 300 and the movable piece 400 are respectively disposed at two ends of the mounting plate 100. It can be seen that one end of the mounting plate 100 is pre-positioned by the positioning space and the other end of the mounting plate 100 abuts against the movable piece 400 to be supported, thereby improving efficiency of installation and disassembly.
Optionally, the movable piece 400 is provided with a guide groove, the mounting table is provided with a guide rod 412, the guide rod 412 passes through the guide groove, and the movable piece 400 can move with respect to the mounting table 200 through the guide groove so as to adjust its position. When the mounting plate 100 is installed in the installation groove, the movable piece 400 may move inward to block an end portion of the mounting plate 100. At this time, the movable piece 400 and the positioning piece 300 together pre-support the mounting plate 100 so that the mounting plate 100 is prevented from falling down and the user does not need to hold the mounting plate 100 by hand when installing the bolts 411 to fix the mounting plate 100.
In this example, the movable piece 400 is plate-shaped and includes a connection portion 401 and a pulling portion 402 connected at an angle. The connection portion 401 and the pulling portion 402 are both rectangular and plate-shaped structures, and the angle between the connection portion 401 and the pulling portion 402 may be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle according to requirements. The guide groove is disposed on the connection portion 401, and the connection portion 401 is slidably connected to the guide rod 412. The user may pull and displace the movable piece 400 by applying a force to the pulling portion 402.

To connect the support grid structure 610 to the router table and facilitate the adjustment of a position of the support grid structure 610 on the router table so as to improve the flexibility of use of the power device, a guide rail 620 and a sliding base 630 slidably connected to the guide rail 620 are disposed on the desktop of the router table, and the sliding base 630 and the support grid structure 610 are locked through connection pieces.
When a force is applied to the support grid structure 610, the sliding base 630 may move along the guide rail 620, so as to adjust the position of the support grid structure 610 on the router table. To improve adjustment precision, a scale line is also disposed in a direction parallel to the guide rail 620 on the router table. The scale line may be used for precisely controlling a movement distance of the support grid structure 610 on the router table.
Specifically, an installation hole is disposed on the support grid structure 610, a first stud 641 is fixedly disposed on the sliding base 630, a connection end of the first stud 641 is welded, bonded, or integrally formed on the sliding base 630, and the first stud 641 passes through a corresponding installation hole and is threadedly connected to a first knob 642. The support grid structure 610 and the sliding base 630 can be locked by screwing the first knob 642.
In this example, two installation holes are arranged at intervals along a length direction of the support grid structure 610. Correspondingly, two guide rails 620 and two sliding bases 630 are respectively disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the two installation holes.
Optionally, to improve the compactness between the support grid structure 610 and the router table, a guide rail groove is disposed on the router table, and the guide rail 620 is placed in the guide rail groove. In one example, to improve the stability of the sliding base 630 when sliding relative to the guide rail 620, a free end of the guide rail 620 is folded inward to form an inverted T-shaped groove in the guide rail 620, and the sliding base 630 is configured to be an inverted T-shaped structure fitting with the inverted T-shaped groove so that the guide rail 620 stably limits the sliding base 630.
Of course, in other examples, the guide rail 620, the sliding base 630, the first stud 641, and the first knob 642 are provided as one group and one group, two groups, or more than two groups may be provided according to requirements. Correspondingly, one, two, or more than two installation holes are disposed on the support grid structure 610.

The power device in the example of the present disclosure further includes a depth adjustment assembly configured to adjust an operation depth of an operation head of the router. Therefore, the mounting plate 100 is further provided with an escape hole that allows the depth adjustment assembly to pass through. The depth adjustment assembly may be a depth adjustment assembly that comes with the router or may be another independently configured depth adjustment assembly.
In this example, the locking piece includes a first screw rod 421 and a first nut 422 screwed to the first screw rod 421, the first screw rod 421 is fixedly connected to the mounting table 200, and the first nut 422 can be screwed to the first screw rod 421, so as to lock the movable piece 400 and the mounting table 200. Since the movable piece 400 supports the mounting plate 100, the mounting plate 100 and the mounting table 200 can be locked.
During installation, the end of the mounting plate 100 is inserted into the positioning space so that the mounting plate 100 is pre-positioned, the movable piece 400 is moved to the support position, and the first nut 422 is screwed so that the mounting plate 100 and the mounting table 200 can be locked. During disassembly, the first nut 422 is unscrewed so that the movable piece 400 and the mounting table 200 can be unlocked, the movable piece 400 is moved to the unlocked position, and the mounting plate 100 is withdrawn from the positioning space. The screw rod fits with the nut and the nut is simply screwed so that the power device is installed by a simpler process and with high efficiency and can be used immediately after installation.
One, two, or more than two first screw rods 421 may be provided. To facilitate screwing, the first nut 422 is provided with a holding portion, so as to improve screwing efficiency. However, the first nut 422 occupies a relatively large space. To prevent the movable piece 400 from being touched by accident and displaced during screwing, the locking assembly further includes the guide rod 412, the movable piece 400 is provided with the guide groove, and both the first screw rod 421 and the guide rod 412 pass through the guide groove. The first screw rod 421 and the guide rod 412 fit with the guide groove to limit the movable piece 400 and prevent the movable piece 400 from rotating so that the movable piece 400 can only move along a straight line between the support position and the unlocked position.
Optionally, an elastic body passes through the first screw rod 421, and the first nut 422 abuts against the elastic body. When the first nut 422 is screwed, the elastic body is deformed; and when the first nut 422 is unscrewed, the elastic body is restored. The elastic body is provided so that the movable piece 400 can be quickly detached from the mounting table 200 when the mounting plate 100 is disassembled, thereby achieving quick disassembly. Optionally, the elastic body is a spiral spring.

The auxiliary locking assembly includes a pressing piece 500 and an auxiliary locking piece. The pressing piece 500 can abut against a side of the mounting plate 100 facing away from the mounting table 200, and the auxiliary locking piece can lock the pressing piece 500 and the mounting table 200.
The pressing piece 500 in this example is a pressing plate. During installation, the end of the mounting plate 100 is inserted into the positioning space so that the mounting plate 100 is pre-positioned, the movable piece 400 is moved to the support position, and the locking piece fixes the movable piece 400 to the mounting table 200 to lock the mounting plate 100 and the mounting table 200. The pressing piece 500 abuts against the side of the mounting plate 100 facing away from the mounting table 200, and the auxiliary locking piece locks the pressing piece 500 and the mounting table 200. The auxiliary locking assembly cooperates with the locking assembly so that the mounting plate 100 is double-fixed and thus the mounting plate 100 is installed more stably.
Specifically, the auxiliary locking piece includes a second screw rod 511 and a second nut 512 screwed to the second screw rod 511, the second screw rod 511 is fixedly connected to the mounting table 200, and the second nut 512 can be screwed to the second screw rod 511, so as to abut against the pressing piece 500. The pressing piece 500 abuts against the side of the mounting plate 100 facing away from the mounting table 200, and the second nut 512 is screwed so that the pressing piece 500 and the mounting table 200 can be locked. The screw rod fits with the nut and the nut is simply screwed so that the power device is installed by a simpler process and with high efficiency and can be used immediately after installation.
In this example, the pressing piece 500 and the positioning piece 300 are disposed on the same side of the mounting plate 100. Specifically, the pressing piece 500 is disposed on an outer side of the positioning piece 300 and configured to press both the positioning piece 300 and the mounting plate 100 to fix the mounting plate 100.
