Air motor for pneumatic tools

The present invention relates to a pneumatic tool, and more particularly to a pneumatic motor for a pneumatic tool.

The existing pneumatic tools mainly guide high-pressure gas into a pneumatic motor to drive the air motor to rotate by using high-pressure gas to further drive a tool to rotate. Please refer to FIG. 9 to FIG. 11 , and the existing air motor mainly includes one. The cylinder 50, a rotating shaft 60 and a plurality of blades 70, the cylinder 50 includes an air inlet 51 and an air outlet 52. The air inlet 51 is connected to a high-pressure gas source, and the rotating shaft 60 is rotatably received. In the cylinder 50, the rotating shaft 60 is eccentrically disposed with respect to the cylinder 50, and a plurality of vane slots 62 are radially recessed in the periphery of the rotating shaft 60, and the vanes 70 are movably accommodated in the respective vane slots 62, respectively. After the pressurized gas is introduced into the cylinder 50 from the intake port 51 of the cylinder, the high-pressure gas drives the rotating shaft 60 to rotate by pushing the blade 70, thereby outputting power.

However, the existing edge 70 of the blade 70 has an arcuate curve, so that the bottom 622 of each blade groove 62 of the rotating shaft 60 is also relatively curved, so that the thickness of the near-axis portion of the rotating shaft 60 is thinned by the setting of the blade groove 62. Because during the operation of the air motor, the near-axis portion of the rotating shaft 60 is subjected to a considerable load force, so that the thickness of the shaft portion of the rotating shaft 60 is thinned, so that the overall structural strength of the rotating shaft 60 is weakened, and the rotating shaft 60 is easily damaged. The service life of the air motor is reduced as a whole, so the existing air motor is mostly provided with only six blades 70, and the cylinder 50 is divided into six air chambers to provide sufficient torque to drive the shaft 60 and the tool portion to operate, and The structural strength of the rotating shaft 60 is maintained, but in this way, each of the air chambers in the cylinder 50 has a considerable volume, so that the high pressure gas required for pushing the vanes 60 into the respective air chambers is large, and the use of the high pressure gas is slightly suspected. Waste, and the torque it provides will be limited.

Moreover, if the number of the air cells is increased by increasing the number of the blades 70, and the volume of each air chamber is reduced, the air consumption of the high pressure gas is reduced to increase the torque output by the air motor, but the increase in the number of the blades 70 is further increased. The thickness of the shaft 60 near the axial center is made thinner, so that the structural strength of the rotating shaft 60 is further weakened, and the high load cannot be withstood, and it is easy to be damaged, thereby reducing the overall service life of the air motor.

Therefore, the present inventors have finally developed a present invention that can solve the existing problems in view of the deficiencies and shortcomings of the structure and use of the existing air motor.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic motor of a pneumatic tool, which can effectively increase the number of air chambers to reduce the air consumption of high pressure gas, thereby improving the torque provided by the air motor and maintaining the structural strength of the shaft. To achieve the purpose of improving the overall operational efficiency of the air motor.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a pneumatic motor for a pneumatic tool, comprising: a cylinder, the cylinder is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet; and a rotating shaft is rotatably disposed in the cylinder. Further, the rotating shaft is provided with a plurality of vane grooves in a radial recess; a plurality of vanes are movably received in the vane slots, and one side edge of each vane is placed in the corresponding vane slot, and the other side is The edge is exposed outside the groove of the blade, wherein at least half of the blade extends into the side edge of the blade groove to have a straight straight section, and a square protrusion is protruded in the middle of the straight section. Further, at least half of the shape of the blade groove corresponding to the straight segment blade forms a straight straight section corresponding to the straight section of the blade groove at the bottom edge of the blade groove, and a relative accommodation is concavely disposed in the middle of the straight section of each blade groove A square recess of the tab on the blade.

By the above technical means, the present invention can utilize the straight section formed by the blade and the blade groove to improve the structural strength of the entire rotating shaft, so that the number of the blade and the blade groove can be appropriately increased. The amount is increased to increase the number of air chambers in the cylinder to reduce the air consumption and improve the efficiency of the air motor and the output torque.
