Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to a pneumatic tool structure, and more particularly to an innovative one which is designed into a pneumatic motor with built-in striker mechanism.
- The pneumatic tools, such as pneumatic spanners, are mainly applied to screwing or loosening of big nuts and screws. As big nuts and screws require extremely high torque for locking or loosening, relatively high torque required by themselves will be generated. Said pneumatic spanner's torque is often generated by a set of striker mechanism. According to the construction and operating principle of said striker mechanism, two massive hammers are set securely into a hammer holder. Said hammer could generate continuously inertia swinging for enhanced hammering torque along with the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of a driving shaft.
- The following shortcomings are still observed during actual applications:
- Said striker mechanism is structured in a way that a front reversing enclosure of certain axial length is set additionally at front end of the pneumatic motor of the pneumatic tool. The front reversing enclosure is used to install and accommodate the hammer holder, massive hammer and rotating shaft of said striker mechanism. However, since the striker mechanism is protruded at the front end of the pneumatic motor, this increases greatly the axial length and volume of the pneumatic tool body, such that the protruding length formed from the end of output shaft to the handle is extended markedly, leading to higher load for the users and inconvenience in use. As for the manufacturers, the substantial increase of the axial length and volume could results in much higher cost of the materials, manufacturing, assembly and packaging with poorer economic efficiency.
- Thus, to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art, it would be an advancement if the art to provide an improved structure that can significantly improve the efficacy.
- Therefore, the inventor has provided the present invention of practicability after deliberate design and evaluation based on years of experience in the production, development and design of related products.
- Based on the innovative design of "a pneumatic motor with built-in striker mechanism" of the present invention wherein a chamber is formed in the rotary drum of the rotor set, a striking portion on the output shaft lever is located within the chamber, and the built-in striker mechanism is placed in the chamber, the present invention provides a novel pneumatic motor with a striker mechanism set into the rotor set's rotary drum, thus reducing markedly the axial length and volume of the pneumatic motor. In this way, the protruding length from the output shaft lever's outer shaft end of the pneumatic tool to the handle could be obviously shortened, enabling the users to hold and operate it more easily with better advantages. Moreover, the striker mechanism has advantages such as: direct driving by the rotor set, instant torque lifting and fast unlocking of components, etc; as the striker mechanism is set into the rotary drum of the rotor set, the axial length and volume of the pneumatic motor could be obviously reduced, so the volume of related components could be cut down, thus saving substantially the cost of materials, manufacturing, assembly and packaging with better economic benefits.
- Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

FIGS. 1-4 depict preferred embodiments of the pneumatic motor of the present invention with built-in striker mechanism, which, however, are provided for only explanatory objective. Said motor A for a pneumatic tool is installed into themain body 12 formed at one end of thehandle 11 of a pneumatic tool 10 (at top in this preferred embodiment). Referring toFIG. 3 , thehandle 11 mainly consists of aninlet channel 111,exhaust channel 112 and aswitch 113 used to control the on-off state of theinlet channel 111 - Said pneumatic motor A comprises a
cylinder 20, designed into a hollow casing, and comprising: afront wall 21, arear wall 22 and areservoir 23 located internally. Thefront wall 21 is provided with a front bearing 215, and therear wall 22 with arear bearing 225. - A
rotor set 30 is rotarily set into thereservoir 23 of thecylinder 20. Saidrotor set 30 comprises arotary drum 31 and multipleflexible blades 32 set at interval on the peripheral wall of therotary drum 31. Saidrotary drum 31 comprises afront panel 33 and arear panel 34, of which afront convex shaft 331 is set at center of thefront panel 33 for screwing onto the front bearing 215, and arear convex shaft 341 is set at center of therear panel 34 for screwing onto therear bearing 225. Moreover, external ends of theflexible blades 32 are shiftably abutted onto inner wall of thereservoir 23. - A
chamber 40 is formed into therotary drum 31 of the rotor set 30. Saidchamber 40 is preferably designed into a cylindrical space. - An
output shaft lever 50 is provided and comprises a drivenend 51, anouter shaft end 52 and astriking portion 53 located between the drivenend 51 and theouter shaft end 52. The drivenend 51 is located on therear panel 34 of therotary drum 31 on therotor set 30, theoutput shaft lever 50 could be driven simultaneously with therotary drum 31. Theouter shaft end 52 penetrates the frontconvex shaft 331 on thefront panel 33 of therotary drum 31, then extends out of the front end of themain body 12 of thepneumatic tool 10. Thestriking portion 53 is located in thechamber 40 of therotary drum 31. Of which, the drivenend 51 is combined with therear panel 34 by means of toothed meshing, polygonal insertion or tangential mating. - A built-in
striker mechanism 60 is set into thechamber 40 formed by therotary drum 31 of the rotor set 30, and comprises: at least astriking bulge 61 protruded on thestriking portion 53 of theoutput shaft lever 50, at least amovable hammer 62 sleeved externally on thestriking bulge 61 and at least astrut 63 axially located between the front andrear panels rotary drum 31 for supporting and limiting themovable hammer 62. Thechamber 40 is provided with arelief portion 64 only for the motion of the movable hammer 62 (only marked inFIG. 4 ). - At least a driving slot 315 (marked in
FIGS. 2 and4 ) is recessed into at least a lateral wall of thechamber 40 of therotary drum 31, such that one side of saidstrut 63 could be inserted and driven simultaneously by therotary drum 31. - As for the rotor set 30 with
rotary drum 31 andflexible blades 32, thelocking hole 71 andscrew hole 72 are set correspondingly between therotary drum 31 and its front/rear panels bolts 73. Of which, saidbolts 73 are screwed axially or radially. Referring toFIG. 2 , saidbolts 73 are screwed axially. Referring also toFIG. 5 , saidbolts 73 are screwed radially. Alternatively, saidbolts 73 are screwed globally or partially by interpolation of pins (marked inFIG. 2 ). - Of which, said
pneumatic tool 10 is a pneumatic spanner, which allows the pneumatic motor A to be transversely set on top of thehandle 11. The axial direction of theoutput shaft lever 50 is staggered in relation to or set in a direction perpendicular to the extension of thehandle 11. - Based on the above-specified structural design, the present invention is operated as follows:
- Referring to
FIG. 3 , saidpneumatic tool 10 is activated in a way that the user could open theinlet channel 111 by pressing theswitch 113, and air pressure (indicated by W) is guided into thereservoir 23 in thecylinder 20 of the pneumatic motor A. This could drive the rotation of theflexible blades 32 of the rotor set 30 along with therotary drum 31, and air pressure is then released from theexhaust channel 112, forming the pneumatic operating path of thepneumatic tool 10. - The core aspect of the present invention lies in its spatial pattern and technical characteristic wherein a
chamber 40 is formed in therotary drum 31 of the rotor set 30 to accommodate the built-instriker mechanism 60. With this design, therotary drum 31 of therotor set 30 is taken as the framework of the built-instriker mechanism 60, whilst thedriving slot 315 set on the lateral wall of thechamber 40 of therotary drum 31 is used for driving thestrut 63 and built-instriker mechanism 60. Hence, the "front reversing enclosure" in the prior art could be eliminated, thus reducing markedly the axial length and volume of the pneumatic motor and shrinking the volume of related components. Referring toFIG. 6 , the section marked by L1 refers to the installation portion of the striker . mechanism of conventional pneumatic tool and the protruding length formed therein. The section marked by L2 refers to the protruding length formed by the built-instriker mechanism 60 adopted by the pneumatic tool of the present invention. It can thus be seen that the protruding length of the present invention's pneumatic tool at front of the handle is reduced by about 3-5cm (depending on the dimension of the pneumatic tool). - Of which, more than five
flexible blades 32 are set on therotary drum 31 of the rotor set 30. The quantity of theflexible blades 32 is determined by the technical characteristics of said built-instriker mechanism 60. In the prior art, at most six flexible blades are set on the rotor set of conventional pneumatic tool. However, as achamber 40 must be formed in therotary drum 31 of the rotor set 30 to accommodate the built-instriker mechanism 60 in the present invention, the radial height of theflexible blades 32 set externally on therotary drum 31 must be reduced slightly to meet the maximum space requirements of thechamber 40. With the reduction of the radial height of theflexible blades 32, the protruding height is shortened, leading to larger disparity of the air compression space's length to height ratio. So this problem could be resolved by adding the quantity of theflexible blades 32. On the other hand, as the reduction of the radial length of theflexible blades 32 may lead to smaller air compression space, the axial length of theflexible blades 32 could be properly prolonged to resolve this problem. - Referring also to
FIGS. 7 ,8 --another preferred embodiment of the cylinder and rotary drum, thecylinder 20B and the front wall 21 (or rear wall 22) are prefabricated, or the cylinder, the front and rear walls are prefabricated, and a removable assembly portion is formed on the cylinder. This differs fromFIG. 1 wherein thecylinder 20 and the front/rear walls rotary drum 31 and the front panel 33 (or rear panel 34) are prefabricated; this differs fromFIG. 1 wherein therotary drum 31 of the rotor set 30 and the front/rear walls cylinder 20B and thefront wall 21 orrear wall 22, or therotary drum 31 and thefront panel 33 orrear panel 34 could be assembled securely by bolting or by abutting, and then located finally by the locking of the end wall of themain body 12. Or, the rotary drum of the rotor set and the front/rear panels are integrally assembled, and then a removable assembly portion is formed on the rotary drum.
