Abstract

The present invention relates to a ratchet assembly having a rolling support structure, which mainly comprises a shell, a ratchet element and a sleeve fixing device. The shell is in a hollow shape and forms a fixed space inside. The ratchet element is located in the fixed space and comprises a ratchet surface. The sleeve fixing device penetrates the ratchet surface of the ratchet element from the shell. The sleeve fixing device comprises a sleeve positioning element, a rotating element, which is connected with the sleeve positioning element in a rotatable manner, a reversing support element, which is elastically inserted into the rotating element and the sleeve positioning element, and a ratchet block, which is pivoted with the sleeve positioning element with one end thereof inserted into the ratchet surface. The reversing support element of the present invention is a rotatable bead which can rotate along with the displacement direction of the ratchet block so that no friction loss exists between the reversing support element and the ratchet block, thus increasing the usage lifetime.

Description

Ratchet assembly with rollable support structure

The present invention relates to a positioning member for a hand tool, and more particularly to a ratchet assembly having a rollable support structure.

A typical ratchet wrench can be connected to the sleeve at one end and the other end can be held by one hand. Since the ratchet wrench has a ratchet member inside, it can be conveniently used by the user to rotate the nut or the screw without special conversion of the force. In the counterclockwise direction, as shown in FIG. 5, the ratchet member inside the conventional ratchet wrench includes a reversing support member 60 which is integrally formed and formed into a semi-spherical shape at the front end, and is disposed inside the rotary member for converting the ratchet Because the front end of the reversing support member 60 abuts against the ratchet member for a long time, under the constant switching operation, the front end of the reversing support member 60 is easily worn and ground, which makes the switching operation difficult. And the card effect is not good, it is necessary to improve.

In order to solve the problem that the front end of the reversing support member in the existing ratchet wrench is easy to wear, the main object of the present invention is to provide a ratchet assembly having a rollable support structure, which is provided with a rotatable ball at the front end of the reversing support member. It can rotate and slide with the position of the ratchet member to achieve the purpose of increasing the service life.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the ratchet member 20 is correspondingly disposed in the fixed space 11 and has a circumferentially shaped ratchet surface 21.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the sleeve fixing device 30 is horizontally inserted through the outer casing 10 and correspondingly engaged with the ratchet member 20, and includes a sleeve positioning member 31, a rotating member 32, and a change. The support member 33 and a pawl block 34; wherein the sleeve positioning member 31 is disposed in the fixing space 11 of the outer casing 10, and protrudes from one of the openings 13 at one end, the sleeve positioning member 31 is A rotating portion 311 having a columnar shape is formed in the center of the rotating portion 311. The mounting hole 312 is a blind hole, and a longitudinal opening is formed on the outer side of the rotating portion 311. a semi-circular accommodating groove 313, the accommodating groove 313 and the mounting hole 312 form a connecting port 314. The rotating portion 311 is provided with a through hole at an outer side of the mounting hole 312. The pivoting rod 315 of the receiving groove 313 protrudes from a side of the mounting hole 312 to form a sleeve positioning portion 316.

The rotating member 32 includes a rotating disk 321 and a rotating column 322 integrally connected to the central side of the rotating disk 321 . The rotating column 322 is a hollow cylinder and is radially continuous on the outer side of the rotating column 322 . A support member accommodating hole 323 is defined. The rotary member 32 extends from one end of the rotating column 322 to the mounting hole 312 of the sleeve positioning member 31, and the rotating plate 321 is rotatably abutted against the rotation. The end face of the portion 311.

The reversing support member 33 is correspondingly disposed on the support receiving hole 323 of the rotating member 32, and is pierced by the connecting port 314 of the sleeve positioning member 31, and includes a spring sleeve 331 and a spring 332. And a ball 333, the elastic sleeve 331 is a cylindrical cylinder, and has a spring groove 3311 recessed at one end of the elastic sleeve 331, and the spring groove is provided in the elastic sleeve 331 The opposite end of the 3311 is formed with a bead groove 3312. The elastic sleeve 331 is disposed at the support receiving hole 323 of the rotating column 322 at one end of the spring groove 3311, and is correspondingly received by the spring 332. In the spring slot 3311, the spring 332 is abutted against the rotating column 322 and the elastic sleeve 331 at both ends, and the ball 333 is rotatably disposed in the ball slot of the elastic sleeve 331 In the case of 3312, the ball 333 may be placed only in the bead groove 3312, or the ball 333 may be rotatably clamped in the bead groove 3312, only in a state where the one end is slightly convex.

The pawl block 34 is disposed in the accommodating groove 313, and is pivotally disposed on the pivoting rod 315. The pawl block 34 is an elongated block and is formed at the upper and lower ends respectively. A tooth surface 341 corresponding to the ratchet surface 21 of the ratchet member 20, the reversing support member 33 is elastically correspondingly engaged with one side of the pawl block 34.

The preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 3. In the normal use state, the reversing support member 33 of the sleeve fixing device 30 will abut against the side of the pawl block 34 to make the pawl The block 34 pivots and swings, and the pawl block 34 is correspondingly engaged with the ratchet surface 21 of the ratchet member 20 by one of the tooth flanks 341. The clockwise rotation of the upper end of the pawl block 34 is taken as an example. The 341 abuts against the ratchet surface 21 of the ratchet member 20, and when the sleeve positioning member 31 rotates in the clockwise direction, the clamping force can be generated, and at the same time, the pawl block 34 and the reversing support member 33 When the ball 333 is in contact, since the ball 333 will follow the force, the force point and the friction surface will be continuously changed, thereby reducing the possibility of the ball 333 being worn on the same contact surface. And the service life of the reversing support member 33 is increased.

As shown in FIG. 4, the reversing support member 33 is rotated through the rotary member 32 to be adjacent to the lower side of the pawl block 34, so that the tooth surface 341 of the lower end of the pawl block 34 abuts against the spine of the ratchet member 20. The tooth surface 21 can fix the sleeve positioning member 31 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction to generate a clamping force.

The reversing support member 33 of the sleeve fixing device 30 of the present invention is designed to pass through the rotatable ball 333, and can continuously change the contact position with the pawl block 34, thereby reducing the wear of a single specific position, thereby increasing the service life. For the purpose, at the same time, when the ball 333 of the reversing support member 33 is worn out, it is only necessary to replace the ball 333 separately, and it is not necessary to replace the entire sleeve fixing device 30, which has excellent practicability.

The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any one of ordinary skill in the art can use the present invention without departing from the technical features of the present invention. Equivalent embodiments of the invention, which are subject to the subject matter of the present invention, are still within the scope of the technical features of the present invention.
