Description

TRANSMISSION MEMBER WITH TORQUE-RESTRICTING
PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is related to a transmission measure of power tool, and more particularly to a transmission member with torque-restricting protective structure.
A conventional power torque tool is applicable to a work piece for wrenching or unscrewing the work piece. The power tool is generally equipped with a torque-adjusting mechanism or torque-restricting mechanism for adjusting/restricting the nominal torque value. Taiwanese Patent No. 092128742 discloses a socket with a nominal torque value.
Ratchet wheels and a spring are disposed inside the socket. In the case that an excessively great torque is applied to the socket, the ratchet wheels are resiliently disengaged from each other to protect the work piece.
The socket of the above Patent has some shortcomings. For example, when tightening a work piece, the ratchet wheels cannot be truly disengaged from each other in the case of too great torque. This is because that the ratchet wheels are reversely displaced to disengage from each other. In the disengaged state, the distance between the ratchet wheels is enlarged. Two opposite ends of the ratchet wheels are respectively for coupling with an output end of a power supply and a work piece. Therefore, when the socket is bridged between the output end of the power supply and the work piece for wrenching/screwing the work piece, the distance between the output end of the power supply and the work piece is fixed. Basically, there is no further room for the two ratchet wheels to displace in reverse directions. Therefore, such socket can hardly truly achieve the torque-restricting protective effect.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a transmission member with torque-restricting protective structure which can truly achieve torque-restricting protective effect.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above transmission member with torque-restricting protective structure capable of adjusting torque value according to the properties of a work piece.
According to the above objects, the transmission member with torquerestricting protective structure of the present invention includes: a first transmission section; a second transmission section kept spaced from the first transmission section by a predetermined distance; a first chucking section connected with the first transmission section and having a first chucking end facing the second transmission section; a second chucking section slidably connected with the second transmission section and linearly reciprocally movable between a chucking position and a releasing position, the second chucking section having a second chucking end, when the second chucking section is positioned in the chucking position, the second chucking end being engaged with the first chucking end, when the second chucking section is positioned in the releasing position, the second chucking end being disengaged from the first chucking end; a resilient member for resiliently locating the second chucking section in the chucking position; and an anti-rotating section disposed between the second chucking section and the second transmission section for preventing the second chucking section and the second transmission section from rotating relative to each other.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Please refer to Figs. 1 to 4. According to a first embodiment, the transmission member 10 with torque-restricting protective structure of the present invention includes a first transmission section 20, a second transmission section 30, a first chucking section 40, a second chucking section 50, a resilient member 60, a locating section 70 and an antirotating section 80.
The first transmission section 20 has a straight tubular body 21 with a certain length. A first end of the tubular body 21 is formed with a hexagonal hole serving as a first transmission end 22.
The second transmission section 30 has a column body 31. A first end of the column body 31 is coaxially accommodated in a second end of the tubular body 21. The second transmissions section 30 is rotatable about the axis of the tubular body 21. A second end of the column body 31 is formed with a square hole serving as a second transmission end 32. The first end of the column body 31 is formed with a slide hole 33 inward axially extending from the first end of the column body 31 to the second transmission end 32. The slide hole 33 communicates with the square hole of the second transmission end 32.
The first chucking section 40 is a pin member 41 with a certain length. The pin member 41 is transversely fixedly inserted through the tubular body 21 in a position adjacent to the first transmission end 22.
One side of the pin member 41 facing the second transmission section serves as a first engaging end 42.
The second chucking section 50 is received in the tubular body 21, having a slide stem 51. A first end of the slide stem 51 is coaxially slidably fitted in the slide hole 33. A circular second chucking block 52 is perpendicularly fixedly connected with a second end of the slide stem 51. One face of the second chucking block 52 is formed with chucking grooves serving as a second chucking end 53 in which the first chucking end 42 can be correspondingly chucked.
The resilient member 60 is a coiled spring fitted on the slide stem 51. Two ends of the resilient member 60 respectively abut against one face of the second chucking block 52 and the column body 31.
The locating section 70 includes two symmetrical annular grooves 71 respectively formed on a circumference of the column body 31 and an inner circumference of the tubular body 21. A C-shaped retainer ring 72 is inlaid in the annular grooves 71, whereby the column body 31 is axially located in the tubular body 21.
The slide stem 51 and the slide hole 33 have square cross-sections corresponding to each other to serve as the anti-rotating section 80. Accordingly, the slide stem 51 can only linearly reciprocally move along the axis of the slide hole 33.
Under the resilient force of the resilient member 60, the second chucking section 50 is movable to a chucking position where the first and second chucking ends 42, 52 are engaged with each other. Under such circumstance, the second transmission section 30 via the anti-rotating section 80 is drivingly connected with the second chucking section 50. Furthermore, via the first and second chucking ends 42, 52 engaged with each other, the power can be transmitted from the second transmission section 30 to the first transmission section 20.
An output end of a power torque tool can be inserted into the second transmission end 32 to provide rotational power thereto. Via the above power transmission structure, the power can be transmitted from the first transmission section 20 to a work piece to tighten or untighten the same. In the case that the value of the torque applied to the transmission member 10 exceeds the bearable resilient force of the resilient member 60, the second chucking section 50 is retracted from the chucking position to a releasing position. At this time, the second chucking end 52 is disengaged from the first chucking end 42 so as to avoid damage of the work piece due to excessively great torque.
According to the above arrangement, the transmission member 10 of the present invention achieves the torque-restricting protective effect by means of displacing the second chucking section 50. Therefore, the distance between the first and second transmission sections 20, 30 is unchanged so that the torque-restricting protective effect can be truly achieved.
Figs. 5 to 8 show a transmission member 10' with torque-restricting protective structure of a second embodiment of the present invention. The only difference between the second and first embodiments is that the first and second chucking ends 42', 52' have different structures. Substantially, the first and second chucking ends 42', 52' of the second embodiment are ratchet structures complementary to and engaged with each other. Such structure can achieve the same effect as the first embodiment. Practically, the angle of one side of the ratchet is an obtuse angle, while the angle of the other side of the ratchet is a right angle. Generally, the torque-restricting protective is provided only in forward tightening operation. In the case of backward untightening operation, by means of the right angle design of the first and second chucking ends, the torque can be fully output. The shapes and angles of the ratchets can be modified as necessary without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Figs. 9 to 13 show a transmission member 10" with torque-restricting protective structure of a third embodiment of the present invention, which is substantially identical to the second embodiment. The difference between the third and second embodiments is that the transmission member 10" further includes an adjustment section 90" for adjusting the maximum torque transmittable by the transmission member 10".
The adjustment section 90" includes an adjustment threaded rod 91" coaxially fixedly connected with the first end of the slide stem 51".
The threaded rod 91" extends into the slide hole 33". The adjustment section 90" further includes an adjustment threaded bush 92" embedded in bottom wall of the second transmission end 32". A free end of the adjustment threaded rod 91" is screwed in the threaded bush 92", whereby the length of the slide stem 51" extending out of the slide hole 33" can be adjusted. Accordingly, the resilient member 60" can be compressed or released so as to adjust the value of the transmittable torque. In accordance with the change of the extending length of the slide stem 51", the position of the second transmission section 30" in the tubular body 21" must be also changed. However, this change is achievable only by means of rearranging the locating structure. The locating measure can be easily derived from the conventional technique and will not be further described hereinafter.
Figs. 14 to 18 show a transmission member 10"' with torque-restricting protective structure of a fourth embodiment of the present invention, which is substantially identical to the third embodiment. The difference between the fourth and third embodiments is that the adjustment section 90"' is different from that of the third embodiment.
In the fourth embodiment, the position of the first chucking section 40"' is changeable for adjust the value of the torque.
The first transmission section 20"' has a stop wall 23"' radially formed in the tubular body 21"' near the first transmission end 22"'. The stop wall 23"' has a certain thickness.
The first chucking section 40"' has a first chucking block 41"' axially movably fitted in the tubular body 21 ". One face of the first chucking block 41"' abuts against the stop wall 23"'.
The adjustment section 90"' has a thread hole 91 " formed through the stop wall 23"' and coaxial with the tubular body 21 ". An adjustment threaded rod 92"' is screwed in the thread hole 91 ". One end of the threaded rod 92"' extends out of the thread hole 91 "to abut against the first chucking block 41 ". Accordingly, when screwing the adjustment threaded rod 92"', the first chucking block 41"'is moved to another position in the tubular body 21 ". At the same time, the length of the slide stem 51"' extending out of the slide hole 33"' is synchronously adjusted. This can achieve the same effect as the third embodiment.
Figs. 19 to 22 show a transmission member 10"" with torque-restricting protective structure of a fifth embodiment of the present invention, which is substantially identical to the fourth embodiment. There are two differences between the fifth and fourth embodiments as follows: First, in the fifth embodiment, a square boss 43"" is coaxially disposed on one face of the first chucking block 41"" and fitted in a square hole 24"" in the tubular body 21 "". Accordingly, the first chucking section 40"" is axially movably fitted in the tubular body 21 "".
Second, in the fifth embodiment, the adjustment section 90"" includes a first and second adjustment thread blocks 91 "", 92"" coaxially screwed in the tubular body 21 "". One end of the second adjustment thread block 92"" abuts against the square boss 43"". By means of screwing the adjustment section 90"", the range of the bearable torque can be adjusted. This can achieve the same effect as the fourth embodiment.
Figs. 23 to 27 show a transmission member 10'"" with torque-restricting protective structure of a sixth embodiment of the present invention, which is substantially identical to the fifth embodiment.
The difference between the sixth and fifth embodiments is that the resilient member 60'"" is different.
Substantially, the resilient member 60'"" is composed of a main body 61'"", a cavity 62'"", a shaft hole 63'"", a slide body 64'"", an adjustment section 65'"" and a filling 66'"".
The main body 61'"" is a substantially cylindrical body.
The cavity 62'"" is a cylindrical space defined in the main body 61'"" and having a certain capacity.
The shaft hole 63'"" inward extends from a first end of the main body 61'"" to coaxially communicate with the cavity 62'"". The shaft hole 63'"" has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the cavity 62'"".
The slide body 64'"" is slidably disposed in the cavity 62'"" and is linearly reciprocally movable along an axis of the cavity 62'"". The slide body 64'"" includes a tablet-shaped slide block 641'"" with a certain thickness. The circumference of the slide block 641 " abuts against the inner circumference of the wall of the cavity 62'"". A first end face 642'"" of the slide block 641 "" is adjacent to the shaft hole 63'"". A first tray-like leakproof washer 643'"" is attached to a second end face of the slide block 641 "".
The adjustment section 65'"" includes an adjustment thread hole 651'"" formed at a second end of the main body 61 "". The adjustment thread hole 651 "" inward extends from the second end to communicate with the cavity 62'"". A circular sealing member 652'"" is plugged in the cavity 62'"" and spaced from the slide body 64'"" by a certain distance.
An adjustment thread block 653'"" is screwed in the adjustment thread hole 651'"". A first end of the adjustment thread block 653'"" abuts against the sealing member 652'"" for changing the position of the sealing member 652'"" in the cavity 62'"". To speak more detailedly, the sealing member 652'"" is composed of a circular sealing block 6521'"" and a second tray-like leakproof washer 6522'"". The openings of the first and second leakproof washers 643'"", 6522'"" face each other.
The filling 66'"" is a fluid, a semifluid or a mixture of a fluid and a semifluid. In this embodiment, the filling 66'"" is a semifluid grease. A certain amount grease is filled into the cavity 62'"" between the first and second leakproof washers 643'"", 6522'"". The sealing member 652'"" is compressed and sandwiched between the filling 66'"" and the first end of the adjustment thread block 653'"". Accordingly, the slide block 641'"" is pressed and moved and the first end face 642'"" of the slide block 641'"" abuts against an end wall of the cavity 62'"".
According to the above arrangement, when free from any external force, the components of the resilient member 60'"" are respectively positioned in their home positions. When an external force is applied to the first end face 642'"" of the slide block 641 "" to press down the same to a certain extent, the resilient member 60'"" will provide a certain resilient effect. Substantially, in the case that the external force compresses the filling 66'"" to minify the volume thereof, the slide body 64'"" is moved along the axis of the shaft hole 63'"". When the external force disappears, the filling 66'"" is restored to its original volume. At this time, the slide body 64'"" is pushed back to its home position.
Accordingly, the resilient member 60'"" can achieve the same effect as a spring. The resilience of the resilient member 60'"" is varied with the compression coefficient and filling amount of the filling 66'"" and the capacity ratio of the cavity.
Figs. 28 and 29 show a transmission member 10""" with torque-restricting protective structure of a seventh embodiment of the present invention, which is substantially identical to the sixth embodiment. The difference between the seventh and sixth embodiments is that the resilient member 60""" is disposed in the column body 31 """ which serves as the main body 61'"" of the sixth embodiment.
Figs. 30 to 33 show a transmission member 10'""" with torque-restricting protective structure of a eighth embodiment of the present invention, which is substantially identical to the fifth embodiment.
The difference between the eighth and fifth embodiments is that the resilient member 60'""" is different.
The resilient member 60'""" is composed of a main body 61 "", a cavity 62'""", a shaft hole 63'""", a slide body 64'""", a push body 65'""" and a filling 66'""".
The main body 61 """ is right the slide stem 51 """.
The cavity 62 is a cylindrical receiving space inside the slide stem The shaft hole 63'""" inward axially extends from the other end of the slide stem 51'""" to communicate with the cavity 62'""". The shaft hole 63'""" has a diameter equal to that of the cavity 62'""". Also, the crosssectional shape of the shaft hole 63'""" is identical to that of the cavity 62'""". In other words, in actual processing, the shaft hole 63'""" and the cavity 62'""" are one blind hole formed by one single processing procedure.
The slide body 64'""" and the filling 66'""" are identical to those of the sixth embodiment and thus will not be further described hereinafter.
The push body 65'""" is a column body having a diameter equal to the diameter of the shaft hole 63'""". A first end of the push body 65'""" is coaxially slidably fitted in the shaft hole 63'""". A second end of the push body 65'""" abuts against the slide block 641'""" of the slide body 64'""".
By means of the resilient member 60'""", in the case of too great torque, the filling 66'""" is compressed so that the length of the push body 65'""" extending into the shaft hole 63'""" is increased. Relatively, the second chucking section 50'""" is disengaged from the first chucking section 40'""" to interrupt the transmission.
The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the above embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
