Abstract
A power tool includes a main housing, a drive mechanism, a working head, and a connection assembly. The connection assembly includes an input portion connected to the drive mechanism and an output portion connected to an output shaft. The connection assembly rotates the working head about a first axis relative to the main housing. The power tool includes a first transmission path. When the working head rotates about the first axis relative to the main housing, components in the first transmission path are allowed to deform or to be displaced along a direction of the first transmission path.
Claims17
A screwdriver, comprising:
- a main housing provided with an accommodation space;
- a drive mechanism at least partially accommodated in the accommodation space and comprising a motor;
- a working head comprising an output shaft, wherein the output shaft is driven by the drive mechanism to rotate about an output axis, a mounting slot for mounting a screwdriver bit is formed at an end of the output shaft opposite the drive mechanism;
- and
- a connection assembly comprising an input portion connected to the drive mechanism and an output portion connected to the output shaft,
- wherein the connection assembly rotates the working head around a first axis perpendicular to the main housing and the drive mechanism, a torque transmission path extends from the drive mechanism through the connection assembly to the output shaft, and at least a component in the torque transmission path is allowed to deform or to be displaced along a direction of the torque transmission path when the working head rotates about the first axis relative to the main housing, and
- the working head comprises a limit position where the working head moves to the limit position around the first axis, and an included angle α between an axis of the motor and an axis of the output shaft is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 85 degrees when the working head is located at the limit position, a ratio of output torque of the output shaft when the working head is located at the limit position to output torque of the output shaft when the working head is located at a first position, where the axis of the input portion is parallel to or coincident with the axis of the output portion, is greater than or equal to 0.5.
