Description

One-piece tool locking structure and tool setting seat

The present invention relates to an article for positioning tools; in particular, it discloses an innovative structural form of a one-piece tool locking structure that can be used to set a sleeve.

A sleeve is a tool used to set a bolt or nut and provide convenience for a socket wrench to pull the bolt or nut to rotate. The sleeve has a square sleeve groove, and four grooves are formed on the peripheral side of the sleeve groove. wall and four concave arc-shaped connecting edges respectively interposed between each of the groove walls, and each of the groove walls is respectively concaved with a curved positioning concave edge.

US8499935 patent document discloses a tool fixing seat, the tool fixing seat is provided with a sleeve sleeve, and the sleeve is positioned by rotating and locking, so as to provide convenience for storing and moving the sleeve.

The tool fixing seat includes a sleeve socket column, which is made of plastic or other elastic materials, and matches the four groove walls of the sleeve groove. The socket socket column system is approximately eight A polygonal cylinder, one end of the socket socket column is the column head end, the other end is the column foot end, the column head end and the column foot end are opposite along the axial direction of the sleeve socket column, the sleeve sleeve The lateral peripheral edge of the post forms a side portion, the side portion is located between the column head end and the column foot end, and the side portion includes eight abutment surfaces and eight abutment surfaces distributed between each of the abutment surfaces. a protruding angle, when the sleeve is set on the tool holder, the sleeve utilizes the slot to sleeve the sleeve socket column, the column head end and the peripheral side relatively enter the sleeve slot, and each abuts against Four of the abutment surfaces in the surface are respectively abutted against the groove walls, and the other four abutment surfaces are respectively facing each of the connecting edges, and the sleeve is rotated to change the abutment surfaces on which the groove walls are respectively abutted. At this time, the elasticity of the material of the sleeve socket column makes part of the protruding corners respectively abut against the groove walls and slide along the respective groove walls, forming a relative friction between the protruding corners and the groove walls , as the lobes slide along the groove wall, the friction effect shows a phenomenon of increasing and then decreasing, and the sleeve is fed back to the user's hand that clamps and operates the sleeve to rotate, providing the use As the basis for judging whether the abutting surface is abutting against the groove wall, the feeling of the hand sensing the change of friction is generally called the operating feel.
