Description

Sleeve barrel

The application is a divisional application with application date of 2018, 9, 21 and application number of 201811110472.7 and the name of 'sleeve'.

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a sleeve.

Background

When the socket is used in combination with a driving tool (e.g., a torque wrench, an air pump, an electric tool, etc.), a fastener such as a bolt, a screw, or a nut is screwed in, and the socket can be used even in a narrow space (e.g., patent document 1).

Patent document 1 discloses a technique for fitting a socket into a socket portion of a driving tool (ratchet wrench). The sleeve is provided with: a working portion for fastening a bolt or the like; and a fitting portion connected to the driving tool, wherein a recess is provided on an inner wall of the fitting portion. On the other hand, the driving tool is provided with a socket part for connecting the sleeve, and the socket part is provided with a positioning ball which can be put in and out. In this technique, the sleeve is prevented from falling off from the driving tool by engaging the positioning ball with the recess.

However, this technique has the following unexpected risks: the detent ball or the inner wall of the sleeve is prone to wear, failing to stably join the sleeve and the spigot, and unexpectedly loosening or disengaging.

Problems to be solved by the invention

As a driving tool, an impact driver, an impact wrench, and the like are known. The impact driver is provided with a socket (chuck) for inserting and fixing a hexagonal screw head (6.35 mm in diameter). On the other hand, a tip tool such as a socket is also inserted into the impact driver. Such a tip tool includes a hexagonal screw head to be inserted into an impact driver, and can be used by inserting the hexagonal screw head into a chuck of the impact driver and locking the hexagonal screw head. However, since a large torque is applied to a tip tool such as a socket during use, there is a problem that the hexagonal screw head is bent.

Next, an impact wrench as a driving tool will be described with reference to fig. 3. As shown in fig. 3, the impact wrench 7 includes an insertion portion 71 for inserting a tool such as a socket. The socket 71 is provided with a positioning portion (through hole) 72. In general, a tip tool for an impact wrench (not shown) includes a fitting portion having an inner peripheral surface shape corresponding to an outer peripheral surface shape of the socket portion 71 of the impact wrench 7, and a through hole is provided in the fitting portion in a direction transverse to an axis thereof (a direction perpendicular to the axis thereof). When the impact wrench tip tool is inserted into the impact wrench 7, a metal pin (not shown) is inserted into the through-holes of the engagement portion of the impact wrench 7 and the impact wrench tip tool in a state in which the through-hole 72 is aligned with the through-hole, and a rubber O-ring (not shown) covers the through-hole of the engagement portion. Thus, the tip tool for the impact wrench is prevented from coming off.

However, in the conventional tip tool for impact wrench, such a pin and an O-ring are required to prevent the detachment, and therefore, there is a problem that the insertion takes time and the workability is poor. Further, if the O-ring is deteriorated and damaged during use of the impact wrench 7, the O-ring is likely to come off, which causes a problem in safety. Even if the pin and the O-ring are not used, when the fastening tool such as the bolt and the nut is attached and detached, the impact wrench tip tool is pressed against the fastening tool and is not easily detached, but when the impact wrench tip tool is idly rotated, the impact wrench tip tool is detached. Therefore, in the conventional impact wrench tip tool, a pin and an O-ring are generally used.

The invention aims to provide a sleeve which can be quickly embedded and fixed with an insertion part of a driving tool.

Means for solving the problems

In order to solve the above-described problems, according to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sleeve to be fitted and fixed to a socket portion of a driving tool, the socket portion having at least 1 positioning portion recessed therein, the sleeve including a sleeve main body, a switching member, and at least 1 positioning unit, the sleeve main body including an axis, and an operating portion and a fitting portion arranged along an extending direction of the axis, a fastener connected to the operating portion, the fitting portion including a fitting space into which the socket portion is fitted, the switching member being movably attached to the fitting portion in the extending direction of the axis and rotatably about the axis, the positioning unit including a 1 st receiving portion, a 2 nd receiving portion, and a positioning member, the 1 st receiving portion penetrating the fitting portion in a lateral direction with respect to the axis, the 2 nd receiving portion is formed in the switching member and opposed to the fitting portion, the positioning member is movably received in the 1 st receiving portion, a part of the positioning member protrudes from the 1 st receiving portion, a position of the 1 st receiving portion is shifted from a position of the 2 nd receiving portion when the switching member is in the lock position, a part of the positioning member pressed by the switching member protrudes from the fitting space and is engaged with the positioning portion to be fitted and fixed, when the switching member is in the open position, the 1 st receiving portion and the 2 nd receiving portion are overlapped in a direction transverse to the axis, and a part of the positioning member protrudes into the 2 nd receiving portion but does not protrude into the fitting space.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to this.

Refer to fig. 1 to 6. As shown in fig. 1 to 6, the socket according to one embodiment of the present invention is fitted and fixed to the socket portion 71 of the driving tool 7. At least 1 positioning part 72 is concavely arranged on the insertion part 71. The cartridge is composed of at least a cartridge body 1, a switching member 2 and at least 1 positioning unit 3.

The socket body 1 includes an axis 11, and an operating portion 12 and a fitting portion 13 arranged along the extending direction of the axis 11. Fasteners such as bolts, nuts, etc. are attached to the working portion 12. The fitting portion 13 has a fitting space 131 into which the plug portion 71 is inserted. The switching member 2 is attached to the fitting portion 13 so as to be movable in the extending direction of the axis 11 and rotatable about the axis 11.

The ratio of the length of the fitting part 13 parallel to the axis 11 to the length of the working part 12 is 0.4 to 0.6. The switching member 2 is fitted in the fitting portion 13. The distance from the outer peripheral wall 25 of the switching member 2 to the axis 11 is substantially equal to the distance from the outer peripheral wall 25A of the working portion 12 to the axis 11.

At least 1 of the positioning units 3 has a 1 st receiving portion 31, a 2 nd receiving portion 32, and a positioning member 33, respectively. The 1 st receiving portion 31 penetrates the fitting portion 13 in a lateral direction with respect to the axis 11 (a direction perpendicular to the axis 11). The 2 nd accommodating portion 32 is formed in the switching member 2 so as to face the fitting portion 13.

The positioning member 33 is movably accommodated in the 1 st accommodating portion 31. A part of the positioning member 33 protrudes from the 1 st receiving portion 31. The positioning member 33 is here a ball (sphere). The 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 are through holes. The aperture of the 2 nd receiving portion 32 is smaller than that of the 1 st receiving portion 31 in order to prevent the positioning member 33 from falling off.

When the switching member 2 is located at the lock position, the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 are displaced from each other (relative positions in a direction perpendicular to the axis 11). Switching member 2 is pressed against positioning member 33 so as to cover the opening of receiving portion 1. A part of the positioning member 33 pressed by the switching member 2 protrudes from the fitting space 131, and is engaged with the positioning portion 72 to be fitted and fixed.

When the switching member 2 is in the open position, the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 overlap in a direction transverse to the axis 11. When the positioning member 33 receives a force from the fitting space 131, a part of the positioning member 33 extends into the 2 nd receiving portion 32 but does not extend into the fitting space 131. That is, when the positioning member 33 receives a force in the fitting space 131 in the direction perpendicular to the axis 11, a part thereof moves into the 2 nd accommodating portion 32. When the positioning portion 72 is disengaged from the positioning member 33, the socket 71 can be pulled out from the fitting space 131.

At least one positioning portion 72 may be provided, and in the present embodiment, the number of positioning portions 72 is two. The two positioning portions 72 are openings that are symmetrically arranged to communicate with each other. In addition, at least one positioning means 3 may be provided, and in the present embodiment, the number of positioning means 3 is two. The two positioning units 3 are arranged symmetrically about the axis 11. When the switching member 2 is located at the lock position, the two positioning members 33 are respectively fitted in the two positioning portions 72.

The form of the insertion portion 71 and the positioning portion 72 is not limited to this.

Refer to fig. 1 to 6. As shown in fig. 1 to 6, the switching member 2 is mounted so as to be movable in a direction parallel to the axis 11 of the socket main body 1 and rotatable about the axis 11 (i.e., rotatable in the circumferential direction of the fitting portion 13). For example, the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 can be changed by moving the switching member 2 in the direction parallel to the axis 11 in switching between the locked position and the open position of the switching member 2. However, when the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 overlap due to vibration or the like during use of the driving device 7, the switching member 2 may unexpectedly move to the open position, and the sleeve may fall off from the driving device 7. On the other hand, if the switching member 2 is configured to be rotatably attached around the axis 11 of the sleeve body 1, the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 may be changed not only in the direction parallel to the axis 11 but also in the circumferential direction of the fitting portion 13. In this way, the position of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the position of the 2 nd receiving portion 32 are shifted by two different operations, and therefore, the switching member 2 can be prevented from unexpectedly moving to the open position.

The sleeve comprises a locating member 51. The positioning member 51 is positioned at the fitting portion 13 (the positioning member 51 of the present embodiment is a ring clamped to the fitting portion 13). The outer diameter of the working portion 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the fitting portion 13, a 1 st step 61 is formed at a connecting portion between the working portion 12 and the fitting portion 13, and a predetermined distance is provided between the 1 st step 61 and the positioning member 51 along a direction parallel to the axis 11. The switching member 2 is positioned between the 1 st step 61 and the positioning member 51. The predetermined distance is greater than the length of the switching member 2 parallel to the axis 11. The switching member 2 is slidable in the direction of the axis 11.

The 1 st contact portion 21 and the 2 nd contact portion 22 are provided on both sides of the switching member 2 in parallel with the axis 11. The 1 st contact portion 21 is interposed between the 2 nd contact portion 22 and the 1 st step 61.

When the switching member 2 is rotated (rotated in the circumferential direction of the fitting portion 13), after the 1 st receiving portion 31 is arranged in parallel with the axis 11 and in line with the 2 nd receiving portion 32, the switching member 2 is in the open position when the 1 st abutting portion 21 abuts against the 1 st step 61, and the switching member 2 is in the lock position when the 2 nd abutting portion 22 abuts against the positioning member 51.

The sleeve body 1 has the 1 st mark 41. The 1 st mark part 41 is parallel to the axis 11 and corresponds to the 1 st receiving part 31. The switching member 2 has the 2 nd mark 42. The 2 nd mark 42 is parallel to the axis 11 and corresponds to the 2 nd receiving portion 32. Therefore, the user can know the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 in the circumferential direction of the switching member 2 by simply observing the 1 st mark portion 41 and the 2 nd mark portion 42. When the switching member 2 is rotated, the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 in the circumferential direction of the switching member 2 can be overlapped (matched) when viewed from the direction of the axis 11. By rotating the switching member 2 in this way, the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 in the direction parallel to the axis 11 do not overlap (do not coincide), and therefore the locked position is maintained. When the switching member 2 is further moved in the direction parallel to the axis 11 in a state where the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 are matched by rotating the switching member 2, the opening position is obtained when the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 in the direction parallel to the axis 11 are matched. On the other hand, the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 in the circumferential direction of the switching member 2 can be made not to overlap (not to coincide) when viewed from the axis 11 direction. In this state, even if the switching member 2 is moved in the direction parallel to the axis 11, the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 in the circumferential direction of the switching member 2 do not coincide, and therefore, the switching member is always in the lock position.

Preferably, the fitting portion 13 has the 2 nd step 62, and the switching member 2 has the base portion 23. Both ends of the elastic member 53 abut against the 2 nd step 62 and the base 23, respectively, and the 2 nd abutting portion 22 always has an urging force toward the positioning member 51. When no external force acts on the switching member 2, the switching member 2 automatically moves to the locking position, and the sleeve is quickly attached and fixed to the socket 71. Further, when the switching member 2 is rotated to change the relative positions of the 1 st receiving portion 31 and the 2 nd receiving portion 32 in the circumferential direction of the switching member 2 so as not to overlap, unexpected disengagement can be prevented. In addition, since the elastic member 53 provides a supporting force to the switching member 2, it is possible to prevent movement due to an unexpected external force, and to improve stability.

Further, the switching member 2 preferably has a shielding portion 24, and the shielding portion 24 is connected to the 2 nd contact portion 22 in the lateral direction. When the 2 nd abutting portion 22 abuts against the positioning member 51, the shielding portion 24 covers the positioning member 51 in the lateral direction with respect to the axis 11, the positioning member 51 is prevented from being touched from the outside, and the positioning member 51 is stably positioned in the fitting portion 13.

By the same token, the 1 st abutment portion 21 is connected to the base portion 23 in the lateral direction (connected adjacently in a direction parallel to the axis 11), and covers the 2 nd step 62. An internal space 27 is formed in the 1 st contact portion 21, the base portion 23, and the fitting portion 13. The elastic member 53 is accommodated in the internal space 27. The 1 st abutting portion 21 is not affected by the outside so as to protect the deformation of the elastic member 53.

Further, the switching member 2 preferably has an anti-slip structure 52 for pressing the finger parts 8. Further, the outer peripheral wall 25 of the switching member 2 has at least 1 recess 26 provided with the 2 nd receiving portion 32, and when the switching member 2 is operated by pressing the recess 26 with the finger portion 8, the contact area between the switching member 2 and the finger portion 8 is increased by the recess 26, so that stability is improved. In the present embodiment, the number of the concave portions 26 is one, and the concave portions 26 are ring grooves. At least one recess 26 may be provided.

Two through holes 132 are bored in the fitting portion 13, and the two through holes 132 may be arranged symmetrically about the axis 11, and may be attached and fixed in different types.
