  In the structure shown in Patent Document 1, the screw before tightening remains held inside the screw tightening machine, and it is difficult to position the tip of the screw during screw tightening, and the screw is tightened accurately at a predetermined position. It was difficult. In particular, when fixing a joint fitting used for residential construction to a building material, it has been required that the hole of the joint fitting can be screwed to an accurate position because the gap with the screw is small.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use screw tightening machine that can accurately position a screw in a hole such as a joint fitting before starting screw tightening.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a screw tightening machine capable of easily attaching a loose screw to a magazine portion and continuously tightening a plurality of screws.

  Still another object of the present invention is to provide a screw tightening machine capable of adjusting a mounting angle of a magazine portion and smoothly supplying screws.

  Of the inventions disclosed in the present application, typical features will be described as follows.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, a screw tightening tool that rotates a driver bit, a guide portion that is attached to the screw tightening tool and covers the driver bit, and is movable relative to the guide portion in the axial direction of the driver bit. In a screw tightening machine in which a magazine part that holds a plurality of screws in the sliding part and sequentially conveys the screw on the axis of the driver bit is fixed, the magazine part is attached to the sliding part. The screw that is mounted obliquely with respect to the axial direction so that its position is closer to the screw tightening tool as it moves away from the part, and the screw that is transported on the axis of the driver bit and the screw that is transported next to the screw are The tips are arranged so as to be separated from each other.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, the magazine portion has a guide groove capable of carrying a loose screw, and the guide groove is disposed with an inclination with respect to the vertical direction of the axis of the driver bit. The inclination angle is preferably 2 to 30 degrees, particularly preferably 5 to 10 degrees, and more preferably 5 degrees. The screws held in the magazine are conveyed while being aligned so that the longitudinal direction thereof is perpendicular to the guide groove. The magazine portion has a plate-like member that moves in the guide groove and a biasing means that moves the plate-like member so as to approach the axis.

  According to still another feature of the present invention, the screw tightening machine has a moving means for moving the conveyed screw forward in the axial direction using the rotational force of the driver bit, and the moving means moves the magazine portion in the axial direction. The screw protrudes forward from the sliding part without sliding. The moving means includes a sleeve slidable in the axial direction by rotation of the driver bit between the guide portion on the outer peripheral side of the driver bit, and the sliding portion is positioned adjacent to the path along which the sleeve advances. A magnet for attracting the screw conveyed on the axis of the bit was provided. The guide groove holds the heads of all the screws other than the screws conveyed on the axis among the plurality of screws conveyed in the direction approaching the axis, and the holding of the screws conveyed on the axis is performed by the magnet. Perform by suction.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the screw conveyed on the axis of the driver bit and the screw conveyed next are arranged so that the tips of these screws are separated from each other, so that the screws come into contact with each other. Thus, the occurrence of a phenomenon in which the advancement in the axial direction of the leading screw is hindered can be prevented, and the leading screw can be securely tightened.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the guide groove has a guide groove capable of carrying a loose screw, and the guide groove is disposed with an inclination with respect to the vertical direction of the axis of the driver bit. Since the screw is fed obliquely with respect to the axis of the driver bit, it is possible to prevent the leading screw from being disturbed.

  According to the invention of claim 3, since the angle of inclination is 2 to 30 degrees, the longitudinal direction of the screw conveyed on the axis of the driver bit and the screw conveyed next to the screw is the inclination angle. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that the leading screw is prevented from being conveyed due to the mutual contact of the screws, and the leading screw can be securely tightened.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the screws held by the magazine portion are transported while being aligned so that the longitudinal direction thereof is perpendicular to the guide grooves, even if the screws are loose screws, the heads of the screws are guided by the guide grooves. Can be effectively held and moved, so that the screw can be smoothly conveyed.

  According to the invention of claim 5, since the magazine portion has the plate-like member that moves in the guide groove and the urging means that moves the plate-like member so as to approach the axis, the urging means with a simple configuration is used. The screw can be effectively conveyed on the axis.

  According to the invention of claim 6, the screw tightening machine has the moving means for moving the conveyed screw forward in the axial direction using the rotational force of the driver bit, and the moving means slides the magazine portion in the axial direction. Since the screw protrudes forward from the sliding part without any trouble, the screw can be protruded from the sliding part before the start of screw tightening, and the screw can be accurately positioned in the hole for fastening the joint, etc. A good screwing machine can be provided.

  According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the moving means includes the sleeve that is slidable in the axial direction by the rotation of the driver bit between the outer peripheral side of the driver bit and the guide portion. The screw can be cued using the power of the screw tightening tool without preparing a separate power source for movement. In addition, the sliding part has a magnet for attracting the screw conveyed on the axis of the driver bit at a position adjacent to the path along which the sleeve advances, so that the leading screw detached from the guide groove is attracted. Can prevent the leading screw from falling off.

  According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, since the screw conveyed on the axis is held by the attractive force of the magnet, the leading screw can be held with a simple configuration.

  The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and drawings.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that components having the same function are denoted by the same reference symbols throughout the drawings for describing the embodiments, and the repetitive description thereof will be omitted. Further, in this specification, unless otherwise specified, the directions indicated by the arrows in FIG. 1 are described as “front-rear direction” and “screw conveyance direction (in the magazine portion)”.

  FIG. 1 is a view showing the entire screw tightening machine 1 and a partial cross-sectional view. The screw tightening machine 1 is relatively movable in the axial direction of the driver bit with respect to a screw tightening tool 2 such as an impact driver, a guide portion 5 attached to the front side near the rotation axis of the screw tightening tool 2, and the guide portion 5. The sliding part 3 and the magazine part 4 fixed to the sliding part 3 are comprised. A spindle case 10 is provided at the lower portion of the screw tightening tool 2, and a spindle 11 is disposed at the center thereof. A driver bit 12 is attached to the spindle 11. The guide unit 5 includes a holder 20 fixed to the spindle case 10 with a set screw 21 and a guide pipe 22 fixed to the holder 20 with a screw 23 so as to be rotatable. The sliding portion 3 includes a sliding body 30 attached to the inside of the guide pipe 22, and the sliding portion 3 cannot rotate with respect to the guide pipe 22 due to a notch provided in the guide pipe 22, and It is attached so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction.

  A cylindrical space is provided on the rear side (the screw tightening tool 2 side) of the sliding body 30. The sleeve can slide in the front-rear direction with respect to the driver bit 12 and cannot rotate relative to the driver bit 12. 40 is mounted. The sleeve 40 has a substantially cylindrical shape with a circular outer periphery and a hexagonal inner periphery, and a flange 42 extending radially outward is formed near the rear in the front-rear direction, and the front surface of the flange 42 and the sliding body 30. It is fixed so that it can move back and forth in the axial direction via a cone spring 41 mounted between the through hole and the rear surface side periphery. Since the rear surface of the flange 42 comes into contact with the front surface of the retaining ring 60 attached to the inner circumferential recess of the cylindrical space of the sliding body 30, the sliding distance of the sleeve 40 is restricted. The cone spring 41 is a compression spring and urges the flange 42 to move rearward in the axial direction. A screw groove, which will be described later, is provided on the outer periphery of the sleeve 40 and is arranged so as to mesh with the half nut 50. The half nut 50 is fixed to the leaf spring 51 with a bolt 53 via a plate 52. The other end of the leaf spring 51 that fixes the half nut 50 is fixed to the sliding body 30 by a bolt 55 via a special washer 54.

  A retaining ring 60 is disposed in the cylindrical space of the above-described sliding body 30 to regulate the sliding range of the sleeve 40. The sliding body 30 is urged by a spring 9 disposed between the sliding body 30 and a spring seat 8 provided to face the spindle case 10. The spring 9 is a compression spring, and the urging direction is a direction in which the sliding body 30 moves forward with respect to the screw tightening tool 2.

  The magazine portion 4 is positioned by a pin 71 between the magazine case presser 70 and the sliding body 30 and is fixed to the sliding body 30 by bolts 72. The magazine portion 4 includes a ribbon spring 73, a magazine case 74, a shaft 75, a ribbon spring holder 76, and a push plate 78 fixed to the ribbon spring holder 76 by a countersunk screw 77. A pin 71 passes through a hole provided at one end of the ribbon spring 73 and is sandwiched between the magazine case holder 70 and the sliding body 30, thereby fixing one end of the ribbon spring 73. Here, since the guide pipe 22 is rotatably held with respect to the holder 20 fixed to the spindle case, when the magazine portion 4 interferes with wood such as a beam (a material to be tightened), the magazine portion 4 is placed in the holder 20. The magazine part 4 can avoid interference with beams etc.

  The other end around which the ribbon spring 73 is wound is housed in a ribbon spring holder 76, whereby the ribbon spring holder 76 is urged toward the driver bit 12 (right side in the figure). The ribbon spring holder 76 is disposed in the magazine case 74 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction, and a push plate 78 which is a plate-like member fixed so as to protrude from the ribbon spring holder 76 has an aligned rearmost screw 80. The screw 80 is urged toward the driver bit 12 (screw conveying direction), thereby serving as a conveying means for conveying the screw 80. The guide groove 81 that holds the screw 80 has a substantially rectangular cross section and is cut out forward from the vicinity of the center of one side thereof, and the inner wall surrounds the head of the screw 80. . In this embodiment, the guide groove 81 is formed integrally with the magazine case presser 70. The end of the guide groove 81 (the front end, the right end in FIG. 1) is positioned before the sliding range of the sleeve 40. The screw 80 is accommodated in the guide groove 81 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the magazine case 74. When the screw 80 reaches a position coaxial with the driver bit 12, the screw 80 is not held by the guide bit 81, and the driver bit 12 is axially forward. Although it becomes movable, since the magnet 120 is provided on the side sliding body 30, the head screw 80 a is attracted to the side wall of the sliding body 30 by the magnetic force of the magnet 120 and is held so as not to move in the axial direction. Is done.

  Here, what is characteristic in the present embodiment is that the guide groove 81 is not arranged vertically with respect to the axial direction of the driver bit 12, but the vertical direction so that the ribbon spring holder 76 side is located rearward. It is to be arranged slightly diagonally. Since the guide groove 81 is arranged obliquely, the line connecting the tip portions of the screws 80 arranged vertically with respect to the guide groove 81 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the driver bit 12 as shown in FIG. Will shift by θ. By arranging the guide groove 81 obliquely in this way, the head screw 80a and the next screw 80b are arranged so that the screw tips are in contact with each other, but the tip (front side) of the screw is separated. The inclination angle θ is preferably in the range of 2 to 30 degrees, and in this embodiment, an angle of 5 degrees is provided.

  FIG. 2 is a view (front view) seen from the arrow A in FIG. A sliding body 30 is slidably attached to the guide pipe 22, and the magazine portion 4 is fixed to the sliding body 30. The plurality of screws 80 are urged toward the conveyance direction side (driver bit 12 side) by a push plate 78 fixed to the ribbon spring holder 76. The guide groove 81 for accommodating the head of the screw 80 can be manufactured as a member integrated with the magazine case holder 70. The guide pipe 22 has a notch 22a for sliding the sliding body 30 in a non-rotatable manner with respect to the axial direction of the driver bit 12, a wide notch 22b, and a plate for moving the half nut 50 to the right side in the figure. A narrow notch 22 c that contacts 52 is provided. The guide pipe 22 is further provided with a notch, and a pair of screw retainers 92 fixed to the leaf spring 90 with bolts 91 are arranged.

  To attach the screw 80, the ribbon spring holder 76 is moved by hand to the left in FIG. 1 (the direction opposite to the screw conveying direction), and the screw 80 is inserted into the attachment port 81a from the front, and the head of the screw 80 is attached to the attachment port 81a. Are inserted one by one so as to contact the inner wall of the guide groove 81, and are slid toward the driver bid 12 to align with the guide groove 81. The mounting port 81a is a hole having a diameter larger than the head of the screw 80 to be mounted, and the position thereof is preferably near the end of the guide groove 81 on the ribbon spring holder 76 side. The screw 80 inserted into the guide groove 81 is urged by the ribbon spring holder 76 and the push plate 78 that are urged by the ribbon spring 73 so that the leading screw 80 a is positioned directly below the sleeve 40. At this time, since the screw 80 is not held by the connecting band as in the prior art, the urging force can be reduced. Further, in this embodiment, the screw 80 is inserted from the front side with respect to the guide groove, that is, from the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 1, so that the worker can easily attach the screw 80. .

  3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. The magazine case holder 70 is fixed so as to contact the sliding body 30. The attachment is made obliquely so that the guide groove 81 is at an angle of about 85 degrees with respect to the axial rearward direction of the driver bit 12, that is, the ribbon spring holder 76 side of the magazine portion 4 is located rearward. . Since the guide groove 81 is formed in the magazine case presser 70, the end portion of the guide groove 81 is the same as the end portion of the magazine case presser 70. Inside the sliding body 30, a sleeve 40 is arranged so as to be movable in the axial direction of the driver bit 12. A bush 95 is arranged on one side around the sleeve 40 and a half nut 50 is arranged on the other side. The bit 12 is held so that the central axis of the sleeve 40 does not shift. The bush 95 is a substantially cylindrical member made of iron in consideration of wear resistance, and a notch 22b is formed on the side where the half nut 50 side is inserted. The shapes of the sleeve 40 and the half nut 50 will be described later.

  FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along a line CC in FIG. A sliding body 30 is held so as to be movable at the front end side of the guide pipe 22, and a pair of screw presses 92 are fixed to the sliding body 30 by bolts 93 at the tip of the sliding body 30 (in the drawing). The portion shown by a thick line on the outside of the sliding body 30) is held by a screw 91. By the leaf spring 90, the screw retainer 92 can be moved by a small distance so as to be separated in the direction indicated by the arrow 28, that is, in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the driver bit 12. A notch 100 is formed in the guide pipe 22 so that the leaf spring 90 does not contact the guide pipe 22 when the sliding body 30 moves in the front-rear direction. The screw 80 can pass forward in the axial direction in a passage hole 30 a provided in the sliding body 30.

  5A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE in FIG. The magazine case 74 fixed to the sliding body 30 has reinforcing ribs 74a on both sides, and a rotatable shaft 75 penetrating the ribbon spring holder 76 is movably hooked to a groove of the reinforcing rib 74a. The The ribbon spring holder 76 is held by the shaft 75 so as not to be detached from the magazine case 74. The ribbon spring 73 is accommodated in the ribbon spring holder 76, and the cap 79 is for taking the left and right play of the ribbon spring 73. In FIG. 5 (2), there is a magazine presser 70 inside the magazine case 74, and a guide groove 81 for guiding a screw 80 is formed in the magazine presser 70. The magazine case 74 is fixed to the sliding body 30 by being sandwiched between the sliding body 30 and the magazine presser 70. As can be understood from the drawing, the shape of the guide groove 81 is a shape along the screw head (a groove having a C-shaped cross section) in accordance with the shape of the screw head. The screw 80 can be moved only in the longitudinal direction of the magazine portion (left-right direction in FIG. 1).

  6A and 6B are diagrams showing the shapes of the sleeve 40 and the half nut 50 constituting the moving means for advancing the screw, wherein (1) is a rear view (screw tightening tool 2 side), (2) is a side view, (3) is a front view (front side). 6 (1) and 6 (3), since the driver bit 12 passes through the inside of the sleeve 40, the shape of the inner peripheral wall 40c is the same as the outer shape of the driver bit 12, that is, a regular hexagon. The size of the driver bit 12 is set to have an appropriate interval that can move in the axial direction without resistance and does not cause rattling. The half nut 50 has an arcuate curved surface on the side in contact with the sleeve 40, and the curved surface portion is a female screw portion 50a in which a thread groove is formed.

  6 (2), a cylindrical portion 40c is formed on the rear side (upper side in FIG. 6) of the sleeve, which is a place where the spring 9 is disposed on the outer peripheral side, and on the front side (lower side in FIG. 6) of the sleeve 40. A male screw portion 40a having a male screw (not shown in the figure of the shape of the screw groove) is formed on the outer periphery. When the male screw portion 40a rotates, the sleeve 40 moves in the axial direction by the action of the female screw portion 40b that does not move in the axial direction. At this time, the distance that the length of the male screw portion 40a can be moved by the rotation of the sleeve 40 is determined. On the rear side (upper side in FIG. 6) of the male screw portion 40a, a cylindrical portion 40b in which no thread groove is formed. When the cylindrical portion 40b comes into contact with the half nut 50 by the advancement of the sleeve 40, a part of the thread of the half nut 50 rides on the cylindrical portion 40b. Since the male screw portion 40a does not mesh with the female screw 50a, the sleeve 40 can idle without receiving the action from the half nut 50.

  A flange 42 is formed between the cylindrical portions 40b and 40c, and the flange 42 is a surface on which the spring 9 and the cone spring 41 abut. The female screw portion 50a of the half nut 50 is formed with a screw groove having a shape corresponding to the male screw portion 40a.

  As described above, the moving means for moving the screw 80 can be realized with a simple configuration using the sleeve 40 having the male screw portion 40a and the half nut 50 having the female screw portion 50a. In this embodiment, the female screw part 50a has a circumferential rotation angle of only about 90 degrees, but in order to make the contact with the male screw part 40a more firm, it is 90 degrees or more and less than 180 degrees. It can be arbitrarily set within the range.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, an advantage in the case where the magazine portion 4 is attached obliquely with respect to the axial direction so that the position thereof becomes rearward as the distance from the attachment portion of the sliding portion will be described. . FIG. 7 (1) shows the conveyance state of the screw 80 by the magazine part 4 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 7 (2) shows a screw that can occur when the magazine part 4 is vertically attached to the attachment part of the sliding part. It is a figure which shows the conveyance state of 80. FIG.

  In FIG. 7B, the guide groove 181 holds the next screw 80b, but does not hold the leading screw 80a. Therefore, a magnet 120 for attracting the screw 80a is provided at a position of the sliding body 30 adjacent to the path along which the sleeve 40 advances. The head screw 80a is held by the magnet 120. Since the screw 80 is made of iron, the head screw 80a is magnetized by the magnetic field of the magnet 120, and as a result, the next screw 80b is attracted. The state shown in FIG. 7B may be obtained. If the leading screw 80a is sent forward in the axial direction, it will interfere with the thread of the next screw 80b.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7A, the magazine portion 4 is attached obliquely by the angle θ, so that the tip of the next screw 80b and the leading screw 80a are positioned in a direction away from each other. Therefore, even if the leading screw 80a is magnetized, it is possible to prevent the next screw 80b from being affected. Therefore, interference between the leading screw 80a and the next screw 80b can be effectively prevented.

Next, the operation | movement at the time of the screw fastening in this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 1 and FIGS.
In FIG. 1, when the trigger switch 7 of the screw tightening tool 2 is pulled and a motor (not shown) is turned on, the driver bit 12 rotates and the sleeve 40 rotates accordingly. A male threaded portion 40a is formed on the outer periphery of the sleeve 40, and the male threaded portion 40a meshes with the female threaded portion 50a of the half nut 50. Therefore, the sleeve 40 is rotated by the action of the female threaded portion 50a and the male threaded portion 40a. 40 moves forward against the force of the cone spring 41. The screw thread direction of the male screw portion 40a and the female screw portion 50a is determined so that the sleeve 40 moves forward when the driver bit 12 rotates forward. As a result, the screw 80a moves forward with its head pushed by the sleeve 40. FIG. 8 shows this state. Since the screw 80a is made of iron or an iron-based alloy, the screw 80a is attracted by the magnetic force of the magnet 120 on the side of the screw 80a. Therefore, the screw 80a does not fall forward from the passage hole 30a of the sliding body 30 during this advancement. .

  When the screw 80a further advances by the action of the sleeve 40 and the half nut 50, the tip of the screw 80a passes through the screw retainer 92. When the head further advances, the head of the screw 80a passes through the side of the magnet 120 and moves forward from the position where the magnet 120 is located as shown in FIG. 8, but the magnetic flux of the magnet 120 passes through the sleeve 40 and the screw 80a Since the magnetic path is formed through the sliding body 30, the adsorption effect by the magnet 120 is maintained. Thus, the screw 80a is held in the passage hole 30a by the sleeve 40 and the screw retainer 92. As shown in FIG. 8, if the head of the screw 80 a protrudes forward from the screw retainer 92, the screw 80 a is sufficiently held even without the magnetic force of the magnet 120.

  Thus, when the advancement of the screw 80a is completed, the operator releases the trigger 7 and stops the idling of the screw tightening tool 2. Since the screw 80a is protruded and held from the screw retainer 92, the operator can visually determine the screw tip at the center of the hole 110a of the joint fitting 110. As described above, the screw tightening machine according to the present embodiment can protrude the screw 80a to be screwed from the sliding body 30 only by pulling the trigger switch 7 and causing the driver bit 12 to idle.

  Even if the driver bit 12 is forgotten to stop rotating and continues to rotate, the female screw portion 50a of the half nut 50 and the screw 40a are not meshed with each other, so that the sleeve 40 continues to idle, and the screw 80a is moved forward. Never move to. At this time, since the half nut 50 is fixed to the leaf spring 51 and the leaf spring 51 is fixed to the sliding body 30, since the half nut 50 always tries to mesh with the screw 40a by the elasticity of the leaf spring, a sound is generated. It is possible to detect that the screw has moved a predetermined distance without visual observation.

  The operator aligns the tip of the screw 80a with the hole 110a of the joint fitting 110, and then pulls the trigger switch 7 again to rotate the driver bit 12, and pushes the screw tightening tool 2 forward toward the joint fitting. Then, while the spring 9 is compressed, the sliding body 30 moves so as to approach the screw tightening tool 2, the deformed hole at the head of the screw 80 a meshes with the tip of the driver bit 12, and the screw 80 a starts to rotate by the driver bit 12. Tightening of the screw 80a to the workpiece 111 is started. FIG. 9 shows this state. The magnet 120 is provided on the sliding body 30 within the moving range of the distal end portion of the sleeve 40.

  FIG. 10 is a longitudinal sectional view of the vicinity of the tip of the sliding portion 30 as seen from another angle. This figure is a cross-sectional view of the plane rotated 90 degrees with respect to FIG. 9 when viewed in the axial direction of the driver bit 12. FIG. 10 shows a state in which the screw tightening tool 2 is further pressed forward from the state of FIG. Since one end of the cylindrical passage formed by the pair of screw retainers 92 is chamfered in a conical shape, the head of the screw 80a is moved by deforming the leaf spring 90 and moving the screw retainer 92 in the direction of the arrow. I can pass. The chamfered portion is the guide surface 92a. At this time, the plate 52 rides on the notch 22c, the half nut 50 moves outward (rightward in the figure), the sleeve 40 is disengaged from the screw 40a, and is moved upward by the urging force of the cone spring 41. Return.

  FIG. 11 is a side view showing a single shape of the guide pipe 22, and is a view seen from the same direction as FIG. The guide pipe 22 is formed with a wide notch 22b and a narrow notch 22c from the front in the axial direction. In the state of FIG. 3, the sliding body 30 is located in the wide notch 22b. However, as the screw is tightened, the sliding body 30 moves into the narrow notch 22c. This state is shown in FIG. FIG. 12 shows a state in which the screw 40a on the outer periphery of the sleeve 40 and the half nut 50 are disengaged. When the sliding body 30 further moves to the screw tightening tool 2 side and the plate 52 reaches the position of the notch 22c from the notch 22b, the notch 22c has a small width so that the plate 52 contacts the guide pipe 22, The half nut 50 rides on (moves) outward (to the right in the drawing) by contact with the outer peripheral tip. As a result, the female threaded portion 50a of the half nut 50 and the male threaded portion 40a of the sleeve 40 are completely separated, so that the sleeve 40 is pushed back by the cone spring 41, and the sleeve 40 can return to the initial position.
