Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ソケットを電動工具本体の出力軸に着脱自在に取付ける電動工具に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、図8に示すように、ソケット1を電動工具本体2の出力軸3に対して着脱自在に形成し、複数種類のソケット1を必要に応じて適宜付け替えることで、複数種類のネジ等の固着具に対応することができる電動工具が広く用いられている。
【0003】
この電動工具は、図9に示すように、ソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11に電動工具本体2の出力軸3を嵌入し、出力軸3に軸方向と垂直な方向に穿孔してある貫通穴31と、ソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11の両側壁に穿孔してある貫通穴12’とを連通させ、これらの穴にピン32を挿入するものである。ソケット1の貫通穴12’の外周にはゴムリング33を被嵌してあり、挿入されたピン32の抜け止めを行うものである(ソケットの取付方式が「ピン方式」であるもの)。なお、図中の10は固着具が嵌入される凹所を示す。
【0004】
このような電動工具においては、ソケット1を取付けるのに、出力軸3をソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11に嵌入してソケットの貫通穴12’と出力軸3の貫通穴31とを連通させてピン32を挿入し、更にソケット1の貫通穴12’の外周にゴムリング33を被嵌するものであるため、この作業が煩雑で時間がかかるものであった。そこで、ソケット1を出力軸3に取付ける作業が単純で時間のかからない電動工具が発明された。
【0005】
これは、図10に示すように、出力軸3の側面に軸方向と垂直な方向に有底穴4を穿設し、この有底穴4の底41にコイルばね5’を配置すると共に、コイルばね5’を配置した有底穴4のコイルばね5’の開口42側に押圧体6を配置し、コイルばね5’にて押圧体6を有底穴4の開口42縁にばね付勢するものである(ソケットの取付方式が「ボールジョイント方式」であるもの)。なお、有底穴4は、図10(d)に示すように、図9に示す出力軸3に穿設した貫通穴31の一方の開口を栓部材30で閉塞して形成してもよい。
【0006】
押圧体6は、有底穴4に配置された際にこの有底穴4の開口42の外方を向く面に、球面の一部をなす球状面部61が形成してある。有底穴4の開口42縁は、球状面部61の外径よりも小径となるように形成してあり、押圧体6が有底穴4から脱落しないようにしてある。そして、有底穴4の底41と押圧体6との間にコイルばね5’を介在させることで、押圧体6を有底穴4の開口42縁にばね付勢する。開口42縁にばね付勢された押圧体6は、球状面部61の頂央部61aが開口42縁の外側に位置するが、頂央部61aをばね力に抗して有底穴4の内部方向に押すと、有底穴4内に収納されるものである。
【0007】
ソケット1を出力軸3に取付けるには、ソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11に出力軸3を挿入し(図10(a)参照)、ソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11の開口縁部で出力軸3の有底穴4の開口42の外側に位置する押圧体6の頂央部61aを押し下げ(図10(b)参照)、出力軸3をソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11内に完全に挿入すれば、出力軸3の有底穴4とソケット1の凹部12とが連通して押し下げられていた頂央部61aが上がって凹部12に嵌まり込み、ソケット1が出力軸3にロックされる(図10(c)参照)。
【0008】
ソケット1を出力軸3より取外すには、ソケット1と出力軸3とを引き離す方向に力を加え、ソケット1の凹部12の縁部で凹部12に嵌り込んでいる押圧体6の頂央部61aを押し下げれば、出力軸3をソケット1から引き抜くことができる。
【0009】
しかしながら、このようなソケット1及び出力軸3を備えた電動工具にあっては、有底穴4内にコイルばね5’を介在させてあるので、押圧体6がばね力に抗して有底穴4内に押されたり押圧体6を押す力が解除されたりしてコイルばね5’が伸縮する際、コイルばね5’とソケット1の有底穴4の内側面43とが摺れてコイルばね5’が摩耗して損傷してしまい、押圧体6を有底穴4の開口42に弾圧できなくなるという問題があった。
【0010】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、電動工具本体の出力軸の有底穴に配置する弾性体が有底穴の内側面と摺れて摩耗してしまうことのない電動工具を提供することを課題とするものである。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る電動工具は、ソケット1を電動工具本体2の出力軸3に着脱自在に取付ける電動工具において、出力軸3の側面に軸方向と垂直な方向に有底穴4を穿設し、該有底穴4の底41に、有底穴4の断面積の半分以上の断面積を有し且つ、有底穴4に配置された際に該有底穴4の内側面43との間に隙間8が形成されるゴムからなる伸縮自在な弾性体5を配置し、有底穴4の開口42側に該開口42の外方を向く面に球状面部61を形成した押圧体6を配置し、該押圧体6が有底穴4より脱落するのを阻止する押圧体6の球状面部61の外径よりも小さい内径の抜止開口縁42aを有底穴4の開口42縁に形成し、弾性体5により押圧体6を抜止開口縁42aに弾圧して球状面部61の頂央部61aを有底穴4の開口42の外方に位置させ、前記頂央部61aがソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11の内側面に形成された凹部12に嵌め込まれることを特徴とするものである。このような構成とすることで、出力軸3の有底穴4の底41に配置する弾性体5をゴムで形成してあるため弾性体5と有底穴4の内側面43とが摺れても弾性体5が摩耗するのを抑えることができ、弾性体5が損傷して性能が劣化するのを防止することができ、この時、弾性体5が有底穴4の内側面43に摺れて摩耗するのをより一層抑えることが可能となる。
【0013】
また、上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る電動工具は、ソケット1を電動工具本体2の出力軸3に着脱自在に取付ける電動工具において、出力軸3の側面に軸方向と垂直な方向に有底穴4を穿設し、該有底穴4の底41に、有底穴4方向の中央部の径d1が前記方向の両端部の径d2よりも小さいゴムからなる伸縮自在な弾性体5を配置し、有底穴4の開口42側に該開口42の外方を向く面に球状面部61を形成した押圧体6を配置し、該押圧体6が有底穴4より脱落するのを阻止する押圧体6の球状面部61の外径よりも小さい内径の抜止開口縁42aを有底穴4の開口42縁に形成し、弾性体5により押圧体6を抜止開口縁42aに弾圧して球状面部61の頂央部61aを有底穴4の開口42の外方に位置させ、前記頂央部61aがソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11の内側面に形成された凹部12に嵌め込まれることを特徴とするものである。このような構成とすることで、出力軸3の有底穴4の底41に配置する弾性体5をゴムで形成してあるため弾性体5と有底穴4の内側面43とが摺れても弾性体5が摩耗するのを抑えることができ、弾性体5が損傷して性能が劣化するのを防止することができ、この時、弾性体5の中央部と有底穴4の内側面43との間に隙間8が形成できて弾性体5が有底穴4の内側面43に摺れて摩耗するのを抑えることができるものでありながら、弾性体5の両端部の径d2は有底穴4の中程の部分とほぼ同じか若干小さく形成してあるため、有底穴4内での倒れ等によって弾性体5が有底穴4でこじれることなく安定性良く配置することが可能となる。
【0016】
また、弾性体5に有底穴4方向に貫通孔51を穿孔することが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、弾性体5の圧縮変形を弾性体5の外方向のみにではなく内方向にも分散することができて、有底穴4内での倒れ等によって弾性体5が有底穴4でこじるれことなく安定性良く配置することが可能となる。
【0017】
また、本発明に係る電動工具は、ソケット1を電動工具本体2の出力軸3に着脱自在に取付ける電動工具において、出力軸3の側面に軸方向と垂直な方向に有底穴4を穿設し、該有底穴4の底41に斥力によって互いに反発し合う磁石からなる一対の反発体7a,7bを配置し、有底穴4の開口42側に該開口42の外方を向く面に球状面部61を形成した押圧体6を配置し、該押圧体6が有底穴4より脱落するのを阻止する押圧体6の球状面部61の外径よりも小さい内径の抜止開口縁42aを有底穴4の開口42縁に形成し、反発体7により押圧体6を抜止開口縁42aに弾圧して球状面部61の頂央部61aを有底穴4の開口42の外方に位置させ、前記頂央部61aがソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11の内側面に形成された凹部12に嵌め込まれることを特徴とするものである。このような構成とすることで、押圧体6を有底穴4の抜止開口縁42aに弾圧する反発体7a,7bを半永久的に使用することが可能となる。
【0018】
また、一対の反発体7a,7bの互いに対向する面のうちの一方を凹面71、他方を凸面72とすることが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、反発体7a,7bの対向する面積が増加して反発力を高めることができ、所定の反発力を生じる反発体7a,7bを小型化することが可能となる。
【0019】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基づいて説明する。
【0020】
本実施形態における電動工具は、出力軸が突出した電動工具本体と、出力軸に着脱自在に取付けるソケットとで主体が構成され、複数種類のソケットを必要に応じて適宜付け替えることで、複数種類のネジ等の固着具に対応することができるものである。図8に電動工具の全体図を示す。
【0021】
電動工具本体2は、図8に示すように、大略筒状をしたケーシング部21と、ケーシング部21に一体的に形成された把手部22とで外殻が構成される。ケーシング部21内には、特に図示はしないが後述する出力軸3を駆動させるための電源部や制御部やモーターのような駆動部といった機器が収納され、把手部22には、前記機器へ通電する電気を入切するスイッチが設けられる。このような電動工具本体2には、駆動部に連結される出力軸3がケーシング部21の先端部より突出される。
【0022】
出力軸3は、図1に示すように、断面略円形に形成され、ソケット1が取付けられてこのソケット1に固着具(図示せず)が嵌め込まれ、駆動部からの駆動力をソケット1を介して固着具に伝達するものである。ソケット1にはそれぞれ、前端側にネジや釘といった種々の固着具に応じた固着具嵌入孔(特に図示せず)が穿設され、後端側に出力軸3に被嵌される出力軸嵌入凹所11が穿設される。なお、電動工具としては、出力軸3に回転力を伝達するもの、あるいは、出力軸3に軸方向の力(例えば衝撃力)を与えるもの等、特に限定されない。
【0023】
以下に、ソケット1の出力軸3への取付けについて説明する。
【0024】
出力軸3には、側面に出力軸3方向と垂直な方向に有底穴4が穿設してある。有底穴4は、穿設方向に垂直な断面が略円形状をした円筒内側面状のものである。有底穴4の開口42縁には、後述するが、有底穴4の中程の円筒内側面状の部分よりも径を絞った抜止開口縁42aが形成してある。このような有底穴4の底41には、伸縮自在な弾性体5aが配置される。
【0025】
弾性体5aは、ゴムからなる伸縮自在なもので、有底穴4の中程の部分の径とほぼ同じかそれより若干小さい径の円柱形状に形成してあり、長さ(即ち円柱形状の高さ方向長さ)は、有底穴4の深さ(即ち穿設方向長さ)の略半分としてある。この弾性体5aは有底穴4の底41に配置され、さらに有底穴4のこの弾性体5aより開口42側には、押圧体6が配置される。
【0026】
押圧体6は、有底穴4の中程の部分の径とほぼ同じかそれより若干小さい径の略球状をしたものである。この押圧体6は、主に金属等で形成され、有底穴4に配置された際に、有底穴4の開口42の外方を向く面に球状面部61を形成してある。この押圧体6は、有底穴4の開口42側に配置されるのであるが、この時、押圧体6が有底穴4より脱落するのを阻止するため、有底穴4の開口42縁には上述したような抜止開口縁42aを形成してある。抜止開口縁42aは、有底穴4の中程の円筒内側面状の部分よりも小さい内径となるように、有底穴4の開口42縁を絞って形成してある。また、抜止開口縁42aとしては、リング状の部材を有底穴4の開口42に取り付けたものであってもよい。これによって、押圧体6が有底穴4より脱落するのを阻止することができる。
【0027】
このような弾性体5aと押圧体6とが有底穴4に配置された際には、底41に配置された弾性体5aによって押圧体6が有底穴4の抜止開口縁42aに弾圧される。このようにすることで、弾性体5aの弾性力により押圧体6には常に有底穴4の開口42外向きの力が付与され、押圧体6は初期状態として抜止開口縁42aに弾圧されて球状面部61の頂央部61aが有底穴4の開口42の外側に位置する状態となる。また、図1(b)に示すように、弾性体5aの弾性力に抗して押圧体6の球状面部61の頂央部61aを有底穴4の内方に押すと、弾性体5aが縮んで頂央部61aが有底穴4の開口42より外方に出ない状態となる。
【0028】
次に、ソケット1について説明する。ソケット1の後端側に穿設される出力軸嵌入凹所11は、出力軸3が嵌入されるように出力軸3の外形に沿った内形となるように穿設される。そして、ソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11の内側面には、上記押圧体6の頂央部61aが嵌め込まれる凹部12が形成してある。本実施形態では、凹部12はソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11の側壁部を貫通する穴として形成してある。この凹部12は、出力軸3をソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11に被嵌した際に出力軸3の有底穴4と凹部12とが連通するように形成してある。
【0029】
ソケット1を出力軸3に取付けるには、ソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11に出力軸3を挿入し、ソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11の開口縁部で出力軸3の有底穴4の開口42の外側に位置する押圧体6の頂央部61aを押し下げ、出力軸3をソケット1の出力軸嵌入凹所11内に完全に挿入すれば、出力軸3の有底穴4とソケット1の凹部12とが連通して押し下げられていた頂央部61aが上がって凹部12に嵌まり込み、ソケット1が出力軸3にロックされる。
【0030】
ソケット1を出力軸3より取外すには、ソケット1と出力軸3とを引き離す方向に力を加え、ソケット1の凹部12の縁部で凹部12に嵌り込んでいる押圧体6の頂央部61aを押し下げれば、出力軸3をソケット1から引き抜くことができる。
【0031】
以上のような構成とすることで、ソケット1の出力軸3への取付けが容易なものでありながら、弾性体に金属製のコイルばねのような部材の替わりにゴム製の弾性体5aが用いてあるため、工具使用時に、衝撃力や振動によって弾性体5aと有底穴4の内側面43とが摺れてもゴム製の弾性体5aが摩耗することがほとんどなく、弾性体5aが損傷して性能が劣化してしまうのを防止することができる。
【0032】
次に、他の弾性体5bを用いた例について図2に基づいて説明する。図1に示す上例においては、弾性体5aを有底穴4の中程の部分の径とほぼ同じかそれより若干小さい径の円柱形状に形成するものであるのに対して、図2に示す本例においては、弾性体5bを長さ方向全長に亘って有底穴4の中程の部分の径よりも小さい径の円柱形状に形成し、有底穴4の内側面43と弾性体5bとの間に隙間8が形成されるように配置するものである。
【0033】
このようにすることで、隙間8が弾性体5bの変形しろとなり、弾性体5bが有底穴4の内側面43に摺れて摩耗するのをより一層抑えることが可能となる。
【0034】
次に、更に他の弾性体5cを用いた例について図3に基づいて説明する。図2に示す上例においては、弾性体5bを長さ方向全長に亘って有底穴4の中程の部分の径よりも小さい径の円柱形状に形成するものであるのに対して、図3に示す本例においては、弾性体5cを有底穴4の穿設方向の中央部の径d1を前記方向の両端部の径d2よりも小さくするものである。更に述べると、弾性体5cの有底穴4方向の両端部d2の径は、有底穴4の中程の部分の径とほぼ同じかそれより若干小さい径となるように形成し、弾性体5cの有底穴4方向の中央部の径d1は、有底穴4の中程の部分の径よりも小さい径の円柱形状に形成して有底穴4の内側面43と弾性体5cとの間に隙間8が形成される。
【0035】
このようにすることで、弾性体5cの中央部と有底穴4の内側面43との間に隙間8が形成できて弾性体5cが有底穴4の内側面43に摺れて摩耗するのを抑えることができるものでありながら、弾性体5cの両端部の径d2は有底穴4の中程の部分とほぼ同じかそれより若干小さく形成してあるため、有底穴4内での倒れ等によって弾性体5cが有底穴4でこじれることなく安定性良く配置することが可能となる。
【0036】
次に、更に他の弾性体5を用いた例について図4に基づいて説明する。これは、複数の弾性体5を有底穴4の穿設方向に圧接配置し、これらの弾性体5のうちの少なくとも一つは有底穴4の内側面43との間に隙間8が形成されるようにするものである。更に述べると、図4に示す本例では、二個の弾性体5d,5eを配置するもので、有底穴4の底41に配置される弾性体5eは、有底穴4の中程の部分の径よりも小さい径の円柱形状に形成されて有底穴4の内側面43と該弾性体5eとの間に隙間8が形成されるように配置されるものであり、有底穴4の開口42側に配置される弾性体5dは、有底穴4の中程の部分の径とほぼ同じかそれより若干小さい径の円柱形状に形成される。また、これらの弾性体5d,5eはいずれも長さ(即ち円柱形状の高さ方向長さ)が、有底穴4の深さ(即ち穿設方向長さ)の略1/4となるように形成してある。
【0037】
このようにすることで、弾性体5と有底穴4の内側面43との間に隙間8が形成できて弾性体5が有底穴4の内側面43に摺れて摩耗するのを抑えることができると共に、有底穴4内での倒れ等によって弾性体5が有底穴4でこじるれことなく安定性良く配置することが可能となる。
【0038】
またこの時、有底穴4の内側面43との間に隙間8が形成される弾性体5(即ち図4に示す例では有底穴4の底41側の弾性体5e)の硬度をそれ以外の弾性体5(即ち図4に示す例では有底穴4の開口42側の弾性体5d)の硬度よりも低くしてもよい。
【0039】
このようにすることで、有底穴4の内側面43に摺れて摩耗する惧れが少ない弾性体5の硬度を下げて弾性係数を下げることで、変形量を大きくすることが可能となる。
【0040】
次に、更に他の弾性体5fを用いた例について図5に基づいて説明する。これは、図1に示す弾性体5aにおいて、図5に示すように有底穴4方向に貫通孔51を穿孔したものである。
【0041】
このようにすることで、弾性体5fの圧縮変形を弾性体5fの外方向のみにではなく内方向にも分散することができて、有底穴4内での倒れ等によって弾性体5fが有底穴4でこじるれことなく安定性良く配置することが可能となると共に、押圧体6が球状に形成してある場合には、この押圧体6の頂央部61aと反対側の頂部(特に図示せず)を貫通孔51に合わせて押圧体6を安定性良く収納することが可能となる。
【0042】
次に、図6に基づいて、他の実施形態について説明する。これは、図1乃至図5に示す上実施形態と比較して、弾性体5の替わりに、斥力によって互いに反発し合う磁石からなる一対の反発体7(7a,7b)を用い、更に、球状でなく半球状の押圧体6aを用いたものである。なお、図6に示す本実施形態は、図1乃至図5に示す上実施形態と大部分同じであるため、同じ部分については説明を省略する。
【0043】
本実施形態の反発体7a,7bはそれぞれ、有底穴4の中程の部分の径とほぼ同じかそれより若干小さい径の円板形状に形成した同一のもので、円板の上下面がそれぞれN極,S極となるようにしてある。また、押圧体6aは、有底穴4の中程の部分の径とほぼ同じか若干小さい径の略半球状をしたものである。この反発体7の有底穴4への配置は、二個の反発体7a,7bをN極同士又はS極同士が対向するように向かい合わせ、互いに斥力で反発するように有底穴4に配置するものである。
【0044】
このようにすることで、押圧体6aを有底穴4の抜止開口縁42aに弾圧する反発体7を半永久的に使用することが可能となる。
【0045】
またこの時、図7に示すように、一対の反発体7a,7bの互いに対向する面のうちの一方を凹面71、他方を凸面72としてもよい。
【0046】
このようにすることで、反発体7a,7bの対向する面積が増加して反発力を高めることができ、所定の反発力を生じる反発体7を小型化することが可能となる。
【0047】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a power tool for detachably attaching a socket to an output shaft of a power tool body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 8, a socket 1 is formed so as to be detachable with respect to an output shaft 3 of an electric power tool body 2, and a plurality of types of screws 1 and the like are appropriately replaced as necessary. Electric tools that can deal with the above-mentioned fixing tools are widely used.
[0003]
As shown in FIG. 9, the electric power tool has an output shaft 3 of the electric power tool body 2 fitted in the output shaft insertion recess 11 of the socket 1, and the output shaft 3 is perforated in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The holes 31 and the through holes 12 'drilled in the both side walls of the output shaft fitting recess 11 of the socket 1 are communicated, and the pins 32 are inserted into these holes. A rubber ring 33 is fitted on the outer periphery of the through hole 12 ′ of the socket 1 to prevent the inserted pin 32 from coming off (the socket mounting method is “pin method”). In addition, 10 in a figure shows the recess into which a fixing tool is inserted.
[0004]
In such a power tool, in order to mount the socket 1, the output shaft 3 is inserted into the output shaft insertion recess 11 of the socket 1 so that the through hole 12 ′ of the socket and the through hole 31 of the output shaft 3 communicate with each other. Since the pin 32 is inserted and the rubber ring 33 is fitted on the outer periphery of the through hole 12 ′ of the socket 1, this operation is complicated and time-consuming. Thus, an electric tool has been invented in which the operation of attaching the socket 1 to the output shaft 3 is simple and does not take time.
[0005]
As shown in FIG. 10, the bottomed hole 4 is formed in the side surface of the output shaft 3 in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and the coil spring 5 ′ is disposed on the bottom 41 of the bottomed hole 4. The pressing body 6 is disposed on the opening 42 side of the coil spring 5 ′ of the bottomed hole 4 in which the coil spring 5 ′ is disposed, and the pressing body 6 is spring-biased to the edge of the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4 by the coil spring 5 ′. (Socket mounting method is “ball joint method”). As shown in FIG. 10D, the bottomed hole 4 may be formed by closing one opening of the through hole 31 formed in the output shaft 3 shown in FIG.
[0006]
When the pressing body 6 is disposed in the bottomed hole 4, a spherical surface portion 61 that forms a part of a spherical surface is formed on the surface facing the outside of the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4. The edge of the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the outer diameter of the spherical surface portion 61, so that the pressing body 6 does not fall out of the bottomed hole 4. Then, by interposing a coil spring 5 ′ between the bottom 41 of the bottomed hole 4 and the pressing body 6, the pressing body 6 is spring-biased toward the edge of the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4. In the pressing body 6 spring-biased at the edge of the opening 42, the central portion 61 a of the spherical surface portion 61 is positioned outside the edge of the opening 42, but the central portion 61 a resists the spring force and the inside of the bottomed hole 4. When pushed in the direction, it is housed in the bottomed hole 4.
[0007]
In order to attach the socket 1 to the output shaft 3, the output shaft 3 is inserted into the output shaft insertion recess 11 of the socket 1 (see FIG. 10A), and the opening edge of the output shaft insertion recess 11 of the socket 1 is inserted. The top portion 61a of the pressing body 6 positioned outside the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4 of the output shaft 3 is pushed down (see FIG. 10B), and the output shaft 3 is inserted into the output shaft insertion recess 11 of the socket 1. When fully inserted, the bottomed hole 4 of the output shaft 3 and the recessed portion 12 of the socket 1 communicate with each other and the central portion 61 a that has been pushed down is raised and fitted into the recessed portion 12, so that the socket 1 is attached to the output shaft 3. It is locked (see FIG. 10C).
[0008]
In order to remove the socket 1 from the output shaft 3, a force is applied in a direction in which the socket 1 and the output shaft 3 are separated from each other, and the central portion 61 a of the pressing body 6 fitted into the recess 12 at the edge of the recess 12 of the socket 1. The output shaft 3 can be pulled out from the socket 1 by pushing down.
[0009]
However, in the electric tool provided with the socket 1 and the output shaft 3, since the coil spring 5 ′ is interposed in the bottomed hole 4, the pressing body 6 is bottomed against the spring force. When the coil spring 5 ′ expands and contracts by being pushed into the hole 4 or releasing the force pushing the pressing body 6, the coil spring 5 ′ and the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4 of the socket 1 are slid and coiled. There is a problem that the spring 5 ′ is worn and damaged, and the pressing body 6 cannot be pressed against the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to wear the elastic body arranged in the bottomed hole of the output shaft of the power tool body by sliding with the inner side surface of the bottomed hole. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric tool that does not end up.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, an electric tool according to the present invention is a power tool in which a socket 1 is detachably attached to an output shaft 3 of an electric tool body 2 and has a bottom in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction on the side surface of the output shaft 3. A hole 4 is drilled to the bottom 41 of the bottomed hole 4.The gap 8 is formed between the bottomed hole 4 and the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4 when the bottomed hole 4 is arranged in the bottomed hole 4.A stretchable elastic body 5 made of rubber is disposed, and a pressing body 6 in which a spherical surface portion 61 is formed on the surface facing the outside of the opening 42 is disposed on the opening 42 side of the bottomed hole 4. A retaining opening edge 42 a having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the spherical surface portion 61 of the pressing body 6 that prevents the bottomed hole 4 from falling off is formed at the opening 42 edge of the bottomed hole 4, and the pressing body 6 is formed by the elastic body 5. Is pressed against the retaining opening edge 42a so that the central portion 61a of the spherical surface portion 61 is located outside the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4, and the central portion 61a is the inner surface of the output shaft fitting recess 11 of the socket 1. It is characterized by being fitted into the recess 12 formed in the above. With this configuration, the elastic body 5 disposed on the bottom 41 of the bottomed hole 4 of the output shaft 3 is formed of rubber, so that the elastic body 5 and the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4 slide. However, the elastic body 5 can be prevented from being worn, and the elastic body 5 can be prevented from being damaged and the performance being deteriorated.At this time, it is possible to further suppress the elastic body 5 from being slid and worn on the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4.
[0013]
Also,In order to solve the above problems, an electric tool according to the present invention is a power tool in which a socket 1 is detachably attached to an output shaft 3 of an electric tool body 2 and has a bottom in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction on the side surface of the output shaft 3. The hole 4 is drilled, and the bottom 41 of the bottomed hole 4 isDiameter d at the center of the bottomed hole 4 direction1Is the diameter d of both ends in the direction.2Smaller thanA stretchable elastic body 5 made of rubber is disposed, and a pressing body 6 in which a spherical surface portion 61 is formed on the surface facing the outside of the opening 42 is disposed on the opening 42 side of the bottomed hole 4. A retaining opening edge 42 a having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the spherical surface portion 61 of the pressing body 6 that prevents the bottomed hole 4 from falling off is formed at the opening 42 edge of the bottomed hole 4, and the pressing body 6 is formed by the elastic body 5. Is pressed against the retaining opening edge 42a so that the central portion 61a of the spherical surface portion 61 is located outside the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4, and the central portion 61a is the inner surface of the output shaft fitting recess 11 of the socket 1. It is characterized by being fitted into the recess 12 formed in the above. With this configuration, the elastic body 5 disposed on the bottom 41 of the bottomed hole 4 of the output shaft 3 is formed of rubber, so that the elastic body 5 and the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4 slide. However, the elastic body 5 can be prevented from being worn, and the elastic body 5 can be prevented from being damaged and the performance being deteriorated.A gap 8 can be formed between the center portion of the elastic body 5 and the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4, and the elastic body 5 can be prevented from being slid and worn by the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4. However, the diameter d of both ends of the elastic body 52Is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the middle part of the bottomed hole 4, so that the elastic body 5 is arranged with good stability without being twisted by the bottomed hole 4 due to a fall or the like in the bottomed hole 4. Is possible.
[0016]
Moreover, it is preferable to drill the through-hole 51 in the elastic body 5 in the direction of the bottomed hole 4. With such a configuration, the compressive deformation of the elastic body 5 can be dispersed not only in the outer direction but also in the inner direction, and the elastic body 5 is caused by a fall in the bottomed hole 4 or the like. Can be arranged with good stability without being twisted by the bottomed hole 4.
[0017]
Moreover, the electric tool according to the present invention is a power tool in which the socket 1 is detachably attached to the output shaft 3 of the electric tool body 2 and the bottomed hole 4 is formed in the side surface of the output shaft 3 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. Then, a pair of repelling bodies 7a and 7b made of magnets repelling each other by repulsive force are arranged on the bottom 41 of the bottomed hole 4, and the bottomed hole 4 has a surface facing the outside of the opening 42 on the opening 42 side. The pressing body 6 in which the spherical surface portion 61 is formed is disposed, and has a retaining opening edge 42a having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the spherical surface portion 61 of the pressing body 6 that prevents the pressing body 6 from falling off the bottomed hole 4. Formed at the edge of the opening 42 of the bottom hole 4, and by pressing the pressing body 6 against the retaining opening edge 42 a by the repelling body 7, the central portion 61 a of the spherical surface portion 61 is positioned outside the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4, The central portion 61 a is a recess 12 formed on the inner surface of the output shaft insertion recess 11 of the socket 1. It is characterized in that fitted. By adopting such a configuration, the repelling bodies 7a and 7b for repressing the pressing body 6 against the retaining opening edge 42a of the bottomed hole 4 can be used semipermanently.
[0018]
In addition, it is preferable that one of the opposing surfaces of the pair of repelling bodies 7 a and 7 b is a concave surface 71 and the other is a convex surface 72. By setting it as such a structure, the area which the repulsion bodies 7a and 7b oppose can increase, and a repulsive force can be raised, and it becomes possible to miniaturize the repulsive bodies 7a and 7b which produce a predetermined repulsive force. .
[0019]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0020]
The power tool in the present embodiment is composed mainly of a power tool main body from which the output shaft protrudes and a socket that is detachably attached to the output shaft, and a plurality of types of sockets are appropriately replaced as necessary. It can correspond to a fastener such as a screw. FIG. 8 shows an overall view of the power tool.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 8, the electric power tool main body 2 includes a casing portion 21 having a generally cylindrical shape and a handle portion 22 formed integrally with the casing portion 21 to form an outer shell. In the casing portion 21, devices such as a power source portion, a control portion, and a drive portion such as a motor for driving the output shaft 3 to be described later are housed, although not shown in particular, and the handle portion 22 energizes the devices. A switch for turning on / off electricity is provided. In such a power tool main body 2, the output shaft 3 connected to the drive unit protrudes from the tip of the casing unit 21.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 1, the output shaft 3 is formed in a substantially circular cross section, a socket 1 is attached, and a fixing tool (not shown) is fitted into the socket 1, and the driving force from the drive unit is applied to the socket 1. It transmits to a fixing tool via. Each socket 1 is provided with a fitting fitting hole (not shown) corresponding to various fixing tools such as screws and nails on the front end side, and an output shaft fitting to be fitted on the output shaft 3 on the rear end side. A recess 11 is drilled. The power tool is not particularly limited, such as a tool that transmits a rotational force to the output shaft 3 or a tool that applies an axial force (for example, an impact force) to the output shaft 3.
[0023]
Below, attachment to the output shaft 3 of the socket 1 is demonstrated.
[0024]
The output shaft 3 has a bottomed hole 4 formed in a side surface in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the output shaft 3. The bottomed hole 4 has a cylindrical inner side surface shape having a substantially circular cross section perpendicular to the drilling direction. As will be described later, the opening 42 edge of the bottomed hole 4 is formed with a retaining opening edge 42a whose diameter is narrower than that of the cylindrical inner side surface portion in the middle of the bottomed hole 4. On the bottom 41 of the bottomed hole 4 as described above, an elastic body 5a that can be expanded and contracted is disposed.
[0025]
The elastic body 5a is elastic and made of rubber, and is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter that is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the middle portion of the bottomed hole 4, and has a length (that is, a cylindrical shape). The length in the height direction is approximately half the depth of the bottomed hole 4 (that is, the length in the drilling direction). The elastic body 5a is disposed at the bottom 41 of the bottomed hole 4, and the pressing body 6 is disposed closer to the opening 42 than the elastic body 5a of the bottomed hole 4.
[0026]
The pressing body 6 has a substantially spherical shape having a diameter substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the middle portion of the bottomed hole 4. The pressing body 6 is mainly formed of metal or the like, and when disposed in the bottomed hole 4, a spherical surface portion 61 is formed on a surface facing the outside of the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4. The pressing body 6 is disposed on the opening 42 side of the bottomed hole 4. At this time, the pressing body 6 is prevented from falling off the bottomed hole 4, so that the edge of the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4 is blocked. Is formed with a retaining opening edge 42a as described above. The retaining opening edge 42 a is formed by constricting the opening 42 edge of the bottomed hole 4 so as to have an inner diameter smaller than that of the cylindrical inner side surface in the middle of the bottomed hole 4. Further, as the retaining opening edge 42a, a ring-shaped member attached to the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4 may be used. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the pressing body 6 from dropping from the bottomed hole 4.
[0027]
When such an elastic body 5 a and the pressing body 6 are arranged in the bottomed hole 4, the pressing body 6 is elastically pressed against the retaining opening edge 42 a of the bottomed hole 4 by the elastic body 5 a arranged in the bottom 41. The By doing in this way, the outward force 42 of the bottomed hole 4 is always applied to the pressing body 6 by the elastic force of the elastic body 5a, and the pressing body 6 is initially pressed by the retaining opening edge 42a. The central portion 61 a of the spherical surface portion 61 is in a state located outside the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4. Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, when the central portion 61a of the spherical surface portion 61 of the pressing body 6 is pushed inward of the bottomed hole 4 against the elastic force of the elastic body 5a, the elastic body 5a is The center portion 61a is shrunk so that it does not protrude outward from the opening 42 of the bottomed hole 4.
[0028]
Next, the socket 1 will be described. The output shaft insertion recess 11 drilled on the rear end side of the socket 1 is drilled so as to have an inner shape along the outer shape of the output shaft 3 so that the output shaft 3 is inserted. And the recessed part 12 in which the top center part 61a of the said press body 6 is engage | inserted is formed in the inner surface of the output shaft insertion recessed part 11 of the socket 1. As shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the recess 12 is formed as a hole penetrating the side wall of the output shaft fitting recess 11 of the socket 1. The recess 12 is formed so that the bottomed hole 4 of the output shaft 3 and the recess 12 communicate with each other when the output shaft 3 is fitted in the output shaft insertion recess 11 of the socket 1.
[0029]
In order to attach the socket 1 to the output shaft 3, the output shaft 3 is inserted into the output shaft insertion recess 11 of the socket 1, and the bottomed hole 4 of the output shaft 3 is formed at the opening edge of the output shaft insertion recess 11 of the socket 1. If the central part 61a of the pressing body 6 located outside the opening 42 is pushed down and the output shaft 3 is completely inserted into the output shaft insertion recess 11 of the socket 1, the bottomed hole 4 of the output shaft 3 and the socket The central portion 61 a that has been pushed down by communicating with the first concave portion 12 rises and fits into the concave portion 12, and the socket 1 is locked to the output shaft 3.
[0030]
In order to remove the socket 1 from the output shaft 3, a force is applied in a direction in which the socket 1 and the output shaft 3 are separated from each other, and the central portion 61 a of the pressing body 6 fitted into the recess 12 at the edge of the recess 12 of the socket 1. The output shaft 3 can be pulled out from the socket 1 by pushing down.
[0031]
With the configuration as described above, the rubber elastic body 5a is used instead of a member such as a metal coil spring for the elastic body while the socket 1 can be easily attached to the output shaft 3. Therefore, when the tool is used, even if the elastic body 5a and the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4 slide due to impact force or vibration, the rubber elastic body 5a is hardly worn, and the elastic body 5a is damaged. Thus, it is possible to prevent the performance from deteriorating.
[0032]
Next, an example using another elastic body 5b will be described with reference to FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the elastic body 5a is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the middle portion of the bottomed hole 4, whereas FIG. In this example, the elastic body 5b is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the middle portion of the bottomed hole 4 over the entire length in the length direction, and the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4 and the elastic body It arrange | positions so that the clearance gap 8 may be formed between 5b.
[0033]
By doing in this way, it becomes possible to suppress further that the clearance gap 8 becomes a margin of deformation of the elastic body 5b, and the elastic body 5b slides and wears on the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4.
[0034]
Next, an example using another elastic body 5c will be described with reference to FIG. In the upper example shown in FIG. 2, the elastic body 5b is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the middle portion of the bottomed hole 4 over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. In the present example shown in FIG. 3, the diameter d of the central portion in the drilling direction of the bottomed hole 4 is provided with the elastic body 5c.1The diameter d of both ends in the direction2Is to make it smaller. More specifically, both end portions d in the direction of the bottomed hole 4 of the elastic body 5c.2The diameter of the center portion of the bottomed hole 4 is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the middle portion of the bottomed hole 4, and the diameter d of the central portion of the elastic body 5 c in the direction of the bottomed hole 41Is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the middle portion of the bottomed hole 4, and a gap 8 is formed between the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4 and the elastic body 5 c.
[0035]
By doing in this way, the clearance gap 8 can be formed between the center part of the elastic body 5c, and the inner surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4, and the elastic body 5c is slid on the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4, and is worn. The diameter d of both ends of the elastic body 5c can be suppressed.2Is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the middle part of the bottomed hole 4, so that the elastic body 5 c is arranged with good stability without being twisted by the bottomed hole 4 due to a fall or the like in the bottomed hole 4. It becomes possible to do.
[0036]
Next, an example using another elastic body 5 will be described with reference to FIG. This is because a plurality of elastic bodies 5 are arranged in pressure contact in the direction of drilling the bottomed hole 4, and at least one of these elastic bodies 5 forms a gap 8 between the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4. It is intended to be done. More specifically, in this example shown in FIG. 4, two elastic bodies 5 d and 5 e are arranged, and the elastic body 5 e arranged at the bottom 41 of the bottomed hole 4 is about the middle of the bottomed hole 4. The bottomed hole 4 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the portion, and is arranged so that a gap 8 is formed between the inner surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4 and the elastic body 5e. The elastic body 5d disposed on the opening 42 side is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the middle portion of the bottomed hole 4. In addition, the lengths of the elastic bodies 5d and 5e (that is, the height in the columnar shape) are substantially ¼ of the depth of the bottomed hole 4 (that is, the length in the drilling direction). Is formed.
[0037]
By doing in this way, the clearance gap 8 can be formed between the elastic body 5 and the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4, and it suppresses that the elastic body 5 slides on the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4, and wears. In addition, the elastic body 5 can be disposed with good stability without being twisted by the bottomed hole 4 due to a fall in the bottomed hole 4 or the like.
[0038]
At this time, the hardness of the elastic body 5 in which the gap 8 is formed between the inner surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4 (that is, the elastic body 5e on the bottom 41 side of the bottomed hole 4 in the example shown in FIG. 4) is determined. The hardness of the other elastic body 5 (that is, the elastic body 5d on the opening 42 side of the bottomed hole 4 in the example shown in FIG. 4) may be lower.
[0039]
By doing so, it is possible to increase the amount of deformation by lowering the hardness of the elastic body 5 that is less likely to be slid by the inner side surface 43 of the bottomed hole 4 and lowering the elastic coefficient. .
[0040]
Next, an example using another elastic body 5f will be described with reference to FIG. In the elastic body 5a shown in FIG. 1, a through hole 51 is drilled in the direction of the bottomed hole 4 as shown in FIG.
[0041]
In this way, the compressive deformation of the elastic body 5f can be distributed not only in the outward direction but also in the inward direction, and the elastic body 5f is provided due to a fall in the bottomed hole 4 or the like. In addition to being able to arrange with good stability without being distorted by the bottom hole 4, when the pressing body 6 is formed in a spherical shape, the top of the pressing body 6 opposite to the central portion 61a (particularly, It is possible to accommodate the pressing body 6 with good stability by aligning the not-shown) with the through-hole 51.
[0042]
Next, another embodiment will be described based on FIG. Compared with the upper embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, instead of the elastic body 5, a pair of repulsive bodies 7 (7 a, 7 b) composed of magnets repelling each other by repulsive force are used, and further spherical Instead, a hemispherical pressing body 6a is used. The present embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is mostly the same as the upper embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, and therefore the description of the same parts is omitted.
[0043]
The repelling bodies 7a and 7b of the present embodiment are the same ones formed in a disk shape having a diameter substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the middle part of the bottomed hole 4, and the upper and lower surfaces of the disks are Each of them has N and S poles. The pressing body 6a has a substantially hemispherical shape having a diameter substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the middle portion of the bottomed hole 4. The repulsive body 7 is arranged in the bottomed hole 4 so that the two repellent bodies 7a and 7b face each other so that the N poles or the S poles face each other and repel each other by repulsive force. Is to be placed.
[0044]
By doing in this way, it becomes possible to use semi-permanently the repelling body 7 which elastically presses the press body 6a to the retaining opening edge 42a of the bottomed hole 4.
[0045]
At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, one of the opposing surfaces of the pair of repelling bodies 7 a and 7 b may be a concave surface 71 and the other may be a convex surface 72.
[0046]
By doing in this way, the area which the repulsion bodies 7a and 7b oppose can increase, and a repulsion force can be raised, and it becomes possible to miniaturize the repulsion body 7 which produces a predetermined repulsion force.
[0047]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the first aspect of the present invention, in the electric power tool in which the socket is detachably attached to the output shaft of the electric power tool body, the bottomed hole is formed in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction on the side surface of the output shaft. At the bottom of the bottomed holeAnd having a cross-sectional area of more than half of the cross-sectional area of the bottomed hole, and when arranged in the bottomed hole, a gap is formed between the inner surface of the bottomed holeA stretchable elastic body made of rubber is arranged, and a pressing body in which a spherical surface portion is formed on the surface facing the outside of the opening is arranged on the opening side of the bottomed hole, and the pressing body falls off from the bottomed hole. A retaining opening edge having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the spherical surface portion of the pressing body is formed on the opening edge of the bottomed hole, and the pressing body is elastically pressed to the retaining opening edge by an elastic body to thereby fix the central portion of the spherical surface portion.
