Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、スチールボールとスピンドルカム及びハンマカムによりハンマの前進、後退運動を行なうインパクト工具の防振、防音機構に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来のインパクト工具を図3〜図5を用いて説明する。図3は電気、空気等を駆動源とするボルト等の締付、緩めを行なう際に使用されるインパクトレンチの打撃機構部を示しており、ハウジング1に内蔵された駆動部からの回転力を減速部2を介してスピンドル3に伝達するよう構成されている。また、スピンドル3にはスピンドルカム4を、ハンマ5にはハンマカム6を形成しており、ハンマ5はスチールボール7を介してスプリング8によりA方向に付勢され、回転及び往復運動を行う。更にハンマ5にはハンマ爪9が具備されており、アンビル10に具備されているアンビル爪11と噛み合っている。
【0003】
次に図5によりボルトの締付け時における打撃機構部の動作を説明する。ボルトの締付を開始するとスピンドル3、ハンマ5、アンビル10は一体で回転し始める(パターンA)。そして、ボルトの締付トルクが高くなるとアンビル10の回転が停止し、スピンドル3とハンマ5に回転方向の変位が生じ、ハンマ5はスピンドル軸3を摺動部としてスピンドルカム4のリードに沿ってスプリング8を圧縮しながら後退し、ハンマ5とアンビル10の噛合いが外れる(パターンB)。そして、ハンマ5は最大に後退した後、スプリング8の付勢力によりスピンドルカム4のリードに沿って回転しながら前進し、アンビル10に打撃力を与える(パターンC〜D〜E)。
【0004】
このように動作する打撃機構部において、ハンマ5とスピンドル3との間には、図4に示す弾性体13bが配設されており、これによりハンマ5の最大後退量(Lb)を規制して、スチールボール7の落下を防止している。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述した従来の構成において、ボルトなどを締付ける際のハンマの最大後退時(B方向に最大移動する時)は、スチールボールがカムエンドに衝突する寸法関係になっていたため、スチールボールがカムエンドに当たった時の衝撃力により騒音、振動が発生してしまうという問題があった。
【0006】
本発明は、上記問題を解消し、振動及び騒音の低減化を図ることで、使い勝手に優れたインパクト工具を提供することである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的は、駆動部と、駆動部によって回転されるスピンドルと、スピンドルの軸方向に移動可能なハンマと、ハンマに形成したハンマカムと、スピンドルに形成したスピンドルカムと、スピンドルカムとハンマカムに係合するスチールボールと、ハンマを反駆動部側に常に付勢しているスプリングとを有し、更にスピンドルの端面に配され且つハンマの最大後退時にハンマの端面と接触する弾性体とを備えたインパクト工具において、スチールボールがカムエンドに衝突する前に、ハンマの端面を弾性体に接触させることにより達成される。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本実施例におけるインパクト工具を図1,図2及び図5を用いて説明する。図1は電気、空気等を駆動源とするボルト等の締付、緩めを行なう際に使用されるインパクトレンチの打撃機構部を示しており、ハウジング1に内蔵された駆動部からの回転力を減速部2を介してスピンドル3に伝達するよう構成している。また、スピンドル3にはスピンドルカム4を、ハンマ5にはハンマカム6を形成しており、ハンマ5はスチールボール7を介してスプリング8によりA方向に付勢され、回転及び往復運動を行う。更にハンマ5にはハンマ爪9が具備されており、アンビル10に具備されているアンビル爪11と噛み合っている。
【0009】
次に図5によりボルトの締付け時における打撃機構部の動作を説明する。ボルトの締付を開始するとスピンドル3、ハンマ5、アンビル10は一体で回転し始める(パターンA)。そして、ボルトの締付トルクが高くなるとアンビル10の回転が停止し、スピンドル3とハンマ5に回転方向の変位が生じ、ハンマ5はスピンドル軸3を摺動部としてスピンドルカム4のリードに沿ってスプリング8を圧縮しながら後退し、ハンマ5とアンビル10の噛合いが外れる(パターンB)。そして、ハンマ5は最大に後退した後、スプリング8の付勢力によりスピンドルカム4のリードに沿って回転しながら前進し、アンビル10に打撃力を与える(パターンC〜D〜E)。
【0010】
このように動作する打撃機構部において、ハンマ5とスピンドル3との間には、図2に示す弾性体13aが配設されており、スチールボール7がカムエンド15に衝突する前に、ハンマ端面5aと弾性体13aを接触(当接)させることで、衝突力を緩和している。なお、弾性体13aの当接面の形状をハンマ端面5aと同一にし、また当接面の外径がワッシャ14に規制されないようにすることで、ハンマ最大後退時(B方向に最大移動する時)の衝撃力を、弾性体13aの当接面における径方向に変形させ、分散、緩和できるので、騒音、振動を低減し、更に弾性体13aの寿命化が図れる。
【0011】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、ハンマ最大後退時おいてハンマとスピンドルを係合しているスチールボールがカムエンドに衝突する前に、ハンマ端面を弾性体に接触させることで、振動、騒音を抑制することができる。また、ハンマ端面と接触する弾性体の当接面の形状を同一に、且つ弾性体の当接面を径方向に変形させることで、ハンマ最大後退時の衝突力を緩和できるので、弾性体の寿命を向上させることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an anti-vibration and soundproofing mechanism for an impact tool that moves a hammer forward and backward with a steel ball, a spindle cam, and a hammer cam.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional impact tool will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 shows an impact wrench striking mechanism used when tightening or loosening bolts using electricity, air or the like as a drive source, and the rotational force from the drive built in the housing 1 is shown. It is configured to transmit to the spindle 3 via the speed reduction unit 2. A spindle cam 4 is formed on the spindle 3 and a hammer cam 6 is formed on the hammer 5. The hammer 5 is urged in the direction A by a spring 8 through a steel ball 7 to rotate and reciprocate. Further, the hammer 5 is provided with a hammer claw 9 and meshes with an anvil claw 11 provided on the anvil 10.
[0003]
Next, the operation of the striking mechanism at the time of tightening the bolt will be described with reference to FIG. When the tightening of the bolt is started, the spindle 3, the hammer 5, and the anvil 10 start to rotate together (pattern A). When the bolt tightening torque is increased, the rotation of the anvil 10 is stopped, and the spindle 3 and the hammer 5 are displaced in the rotational direction. The hammer 5 follows the lead of the spindle cam 4 with the spindle shaft 3 as a sliding portion. The spring 8 is retracted while being compressed, and the hammer 5 and the anvil 10 are disengaged (pattern B). Then, the hammer 5 retreats to the maximum, and then advances while rotating along the lead of the spindle cam 4 by the urging force of the spring 8 to give a striking force to the anvil 10 (patterns C to D).
[0004]
In the hitting mechanism that operates in this way, an elastic body 13b shown in FIG. 4 is disposed between the hammer 5 and the spindle 3, thereby restricting the maximum retraction amount (Lb) of the hammer 5. The steel ball 7 is prevented from falling.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional configuration described above, the steel ball hits the cam end because the steel ball collided with the cam end when the hammer was fully retracted when tightening a bolt or the like (when the hammer moved maximum in the B direction). There was a problem that noise and vibration would occur due to the impact force of time.
[0006]
This invention is providing the impact tool excellent in usability by solving the said problem and aiming at reduction of a vibration and noise.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The purpose is to engage the drive unit, the spindle rotated by the drive unit, the hammer movable in the axial direction of the spindle, the hammer cam formed on the hammer, the spindle cam formed on the spindle, and the spindle cam and the hammer cam. The impact is provided with a steel ball that urges the hammer toward the counter-drive part, and an elastic body that is disposed on the end face of the spindle and contacts the end face of the hammer when the hammer is fully retracted. In the tool, this is achieved by bringing the end face of the hammer into contact with the elastic body before the steel ball hits the cam end.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The impact tool in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows an impact wrench striking mechanism used when tightening or loosening a bolt or the like that uses electricity, air or the like as a drive source, and the rotational force from the drive built in the housing 1 is shown. It is configured to transmit to the spindle 3 via the speed reduction part 2. A spindle cam 4 is formed on the spindle 3 and a hammer cam 6 is formed on the hammer 5. The hammer 5 is urged in the direction A by a spring 8 through a steel ball 7 to rotate and reciprocate. Further, the hammer 5 is provided with a hammer claw 9 and meshes with an anvil claw 11 provided on the anvil 10.
[0009]
Next, the operation of the striking mechanism at the time of tightening the bolt will be described with reference to FIG. When the tightening of the bolt is started, the spindle 3, the hammer 5, and the anvil 10 start to rotate together (pattern A). When the bolt tightening torque is increased, the rotation of the anvil 10 is stopped, and the spindle 3 and the hammer 5 are displaced in the rotational direction. The hammer 5 follows the lead of the spindle cam 4 with the spindle shaft 3 as a sliding portion. The spring 8 is retracted while being compressed, and the hammer 5 and the anvil 10 are disengaged (pattern B). Then, the hammer 5 retreats to the maximum, and then advances while rotating along the lead of the spindle cam 4 by the urging force of the spring 8 to give a striking force to the anvil 10 (patterns C to D).
[0010]
In the impact mechanism that operates in this manner, an elastic body 13a shown in FIG. 2 is disposed between the hammer 5 and the spindle 3, and before the steel ball 7 collides with the cam end 15, the hammer end surface 5a. And the elastic body 13a are brought into contact (contacted), thereby reducing the collision force. The shape of the contact surface of the elastic body 13a is the same as that of the hammer end surface 5a, and the outer diameter of the contact surface is not restricted by the washer 14, so that when the hammer is fully retracted (when it moves maximum in the B direction) ) Can be dispersed and relaxed in the radial direction on the contact surface of the elastic body 13a, so that noise and vibration can be reduced and the life of the elastic body 13a can be extended.
[0011]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, vibration and noise can be suppressed by bringing the hammer end surface into contact with the elastic body before the steel ball engaging the hammer and the spindle collides with the cam end when the hammer is fully retracted. it can. In addition, by making the contact surface of the elastic body in contact with the end surface of the hammer the same shape and deforming the contact surface of the elastic body in the radial direction, the collision force at the time of maximum retraction of the hammer can be alleviated. Lifespan can be improved.
