Abstract
A novel air-driven screwdriver is integrally designed to perform three functions, hole drilling, thread tapping and bolt tightening with special characteristic in which a passive inner gear assembly is employed as a driver to replace the clutch as used by the prior art. When the torque reaches at a specified level, the cam in the inner gear assembly will jump up and down, working similarly as the clutch, coupling with the torque spring and torque adjusting mechanism to control the output of the actual torque applied. This design eliminates the attachment of the clutch, shortens the overall length of tool, reduces the total weight and becomes more practical and reliable tool machine.
Claims3
An air-driven screwdriver for hole drilling, bolt tightening and thread tapping comprising:
- a pistol type body;
- a motor assembly;
- an inner gear assembly;
- a chuck;
- and
- a chamber which houses the motor section, the inner gear assembly and the chuck,
- wherein the motor section comprises a case for receiving a rotor, the rotor being encircled with a plurality of radiant blades, the motor section comprising at a front end, a securing sleeve, a bearing c ring and a square drive linked with the rotor, the motor section comprising, at the rear end, upper and lower turn tables including an air valve, a punch, a cap, a spring and an outer cap,
- wherein the chuck comprises a central passage with one end to link to a connecting shaft and the other end to receive a tool tip,
- wherein the inner gear assembly contains an inner threaded torque cylinder including two pairs of round gear disk and a start gear linked with a drive gear, at the front end of the torque cylinder a cam seat being located and formed in three set-in layers, a first layer, a second layer and a third layer, wherein on the second layer, several recesses are located to receive catching balls sealed by a ring, a torque spring and a torque adjusting ring to set up the torque required, wherein the cam seat has the connecting shaft linked to the chuck to complete the power chain.
