As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an electric tool 200 is provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the electric tool 200 may be an electric wrench, and may include a housing 210, a motor 220 arranged in the housing 210, a transmission mechanism 230 connected to the motor 220, an output shaft 240 driven by the transmission mechanism 230, and a sleeve assembly 100 connected to a front end of the output shaft 240. The output shaft 240 is partially exposed from a front end of the housing 210. That is to say, the output shaft 240 includes two opposite ends along the axial direction of the output shaft 240, namely the front end and a rear end. The front end of the output shaft 240 is connected to the sleeve assembly 100 while the rear end of the output shaft 240 is connected to the transmission mechanism 230. The output shaft 240 is a wrench head at least partially exposed from the front end of the housing 210, and the motor 220 drives, through the transmission mechanism 230, the output shaft 240 to drive the sleeve assembly 100 to operate. Herein, the front end of the housing 210 refers to the end of the housing 210 away from the motor 220 along the axis direction of the output shaft 240.

The housing 210 may include a body portion 211 extending along an axis of the output shaft 240 and a holding portion 212 connected to a lower part of the body portion 211. The motor 220 and the transmission mechanism 230 are both received in the body portion 211. The output shaft 240 is partially received in the body portion 211 with a part thereof exposed from the housing 210. The holding portion 212 is configured to be held by a user when the user is using and operating the electric tool 200. The holding portion 212 is arranged with an operation button 213 for the user to operate, so as to control the electric tool 200 to start and stop. The electric tool 200 may also include a battery pack 250 connected to a lower end of the holding portion 212, and the battery pack 250 is configured to supply power to the electric tool 200.

The body portion 211 is located at the upper end of the holding portion 212, while the battery pack 250 is located at the lower end of the holding portion 212 and away from the body portion 211.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the sleeve assembly 100 may include a sleeve 10 extending along an axis of the output shaft 240 and a pull rod assembly 20 arranged in the sleeve 10. A receiving cavity 11 recessed backward from a front end face of the sleeve 10 is defined in the sleeve 10, a connecting channel 12 recessed forward from a rear end face of the sleeve 10 is defined in the sleeve 10, and a nut 310 is received in the receiving cavity 11. The output shaft 240 extends into the connecting channel 12, such that the sleeve assembly 100 is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting channel 12, thereby enabling the motor 220 to drive the sleeve assembly 100 to operate through the output shaft 240. In other words, the sleeve 10 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, and further includes a first end face disposed at the first end and a second end face disposed at the second end. The first end may also be called as “front end”, and the first end face may be called as “front end face”. The second end may also be called as “rear end”, and the second end face may be called as “rear end face”. The receiving cavity 11 is disposed adjacent to the first end and recessed from the first end face in a direction towards the second end face. While the connecting channel 12 is disposed adjacent to the second end and recessed from the second end face in a direction towards the first end face. The receiving cavity 11 is in communication with the connecting channel 12.

Specifically, a groove 13 substantially in shape of an annulus and recessed inwards from a peripheral surface of the rear end (second end) of the sleeve 10 is defined in the sleeve 10, and a through hole 14 radially (that is, in a direction close to a central axis of the sleeve 10) extending or running through the sleeve 10 from the peripheral surface of the rear end the sleeve 10 is further defined in the sleeve 10. The groove 13 is defined around the peripheral direction of the sleeve 10. The through hole 14 extends inwards from a wall defining the groove 13 and is fluidly coupled to the connecting channel 12. The sleeve assembly 100 may also include a pin 15 corresponding to the through hole 14 and a sealing ring 16 clamped or engaged in the groove 13. When a front end of the output shaft 240 is located in the connecting channel 12, the pin 15 is inserted in the through hole 14 and penetrates the output shaft 240, and an inner ring of the sealing ring 16 abuts against both ends of the pin 15. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the sleeve assembly 100 is stably and fixedly connected to the front end of the electric tool 200. In some embodiments, the sealing ring 16 may be made of rubber, that is, may be a rubber ring.

The pull rod assembly 20 is arranged in the receiving cavity 11 and may include a pull rod 21 extending along the central axis of the sleeve 10, a magnetic component 22 (also called as “pulling component” in some embodiments) arranged at a front end of the pull rod 21, and a bearing 23 arranged at a rear end of the pull rod 21. The pull rod 21 is connected to an inner wall of the sleeve 10 through the bearing 23, such that the pull rod 21 may be axially fixed on the sleeve 10 and is rotatable relative to the sleeve 10. The magnetic component 22 may include a magnetic steel 24 arranged on a front end face of the pull rod 21 and a protective sleeve 25 sleeved on an outside of the magnetic steel 24. The protective sleeve 25 extends backward from a front end of the magnetic steel 24 and is sleeved on a periphery of the pull rod 21, such that the magnetic steel 24 is stably connected to the pull rod 21. In some embodiments, the magnetic component 22 may be replaced by other pulling components, such as an adsorbing component configured to drive the bolt to be attached to the surface of the to-be-fixed component.

Specifically, when the sleeve assembly 100 is screwing the nut 310, the screw 322 extends into the receiving cavity 11, the magnetic steel 24 of the magnetic component 22 adsorbs one end of the screw 322, and the sleeve assembly 100 applies a force away from the to-be-fixed component 300 to the screw 322 to make the nut cap 321 attached to the surface of the to-be-fixed component 300, thereby generating a friction. The friction may prevent the bolt 320 from rotating with the nut 310. That is, the bolt 320 cannot move relative to the to-be-fixed component 300, thereby tightening the nut 310 with the bolt 320.
