In FIG. 1, the alternate long and short dash line indicates the rotational axis of the impact rotary tool 1. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of components of the rotary impact mechanism according to the embodiment, and FIG. 3 is an assembled perspective view of the rotary impact mechanism according to the embodiment. In FIG. 3, the illustration of a later-described stopper member 27 is omitted for ease of viewing. 4A is a front perspective view of the main hammer, FIG. 4B is a perspective view of the spindle and the carrier, and FIG. 4C is a rear perspective view of the auxiliary hammer. Hereinafter, the structure of the impact rotary tool 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

The impact rotary tool 1 includes a housing 2 that constitutes a tool body. The upper part of the housing 2 forms an accommodation space for accommodating various components, and the lower part of the housing 2 constitutes a grip portion 3 that is gripped by the user. An operation switch 4 that is operated by a user's finger is provided on the front side of the grip 3, and a battery (not shown) that supplies power to the drive unit 10 is provided at the lower end of the grip 3.

The drive unit 10 is an electric motor, and the drive shaft 10 a of the drive unit 10 is connected to the carrier 16 and the spindle 11 via the power transmission mechanism 12. The carrier 16 is formed on the rear end side of the spindle 11 and accommodates a power transmission gear. Referring to FIG. 4B, the carrier 16 has a front member 16b having a diameter larger than that of the spindle 11, and a rear member 16c positioned rearward of the front member 16b. A space 16d for accommodating the gear is formed between the member 16c and the member 16c.

The power transmission mechanism 12 includes a sun gear 13 that is press-fitted and fixed to the tip of the drive shaft 10 a, two planetary gears 14 that mesh with the sun gear 13, and an internal gear 15 that meshes with the planetary gear 14. The planetary gear 14 is rotatably supported in a space 16d of the carrier 16 by a support shaft 14a fixed to the front member 16b and the rear member 16c. The internal gear 15 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the housing 2.

With the power transmission mechanism 12 configured as described above, the rotation of the drive shaft 10a is decelerated based on the ratio between the number of teeth of the sun gear 13 and the number of teeth of the internal gear 15, and the rotational torque is increased. . As a result, the carrier 16 and the spindle 11 can be driven at low speed and high torque.

The rotary impact mechanism of the impact rotary tool 1 includes a spindle 11, a carrier 16, a main hammer 20, a secondary hammer 21, and a spring member 23. The spindle 11 is formed in a columnar shape, and a small-diameter protrusion 11 a is formed at the tip thereof coaxially with the axis of the spindle 11. The protrusion 11a is inserted in a rotatable state into a hole having a cylindrical inner space formed in the rear part of the anvil 22.

A steel main hammer 20 having a substantially disc shape and having a through hole in the center is mounted on the outer periphery of the spindle 11. A pair of hammer claws 20 a projecting toward the anvil 22 are formed on the front surface of the main hammer 20. The main hammer 20 is attached to the spindle 11 so as to be rotatable about the rotation axis of the spindle 11 and to be movable in the direction of the rotation axis of the spindle 11, that is, in the front-rear direction. As a result, the main hammer 20 can apply a rotational striking force to the anvil 22. The auxiliary hammer 21 is formed as a steel cylindrical member, and is divided into a front part 21a and a rear part 21b by an annular partition part 21e. The sub hammer 21 accommodates the main hammer 20 in the internal space of the front portion 21a.

The auxiliary hammer 21 and the main hammer 20 are provided with an integral rotation mechanism that rotates together. Referring to FIG. 2, the main hammer 20 includes four first pin grooves 20 d on its outer peripheral surface and having a semicircular cross section and parallel to the rotation axis of the spindle 11. The auxiliary hammer 21 includes four second pin grooves 21 c on the inner peripheral surface of the front portion 21 a and having a semicircular cross section and parallel to the rotation axis of the spindle 11. Here, the four second pin grooves 21 c of the sub hammer 21 are formed at positions corresponding to the four first pin grooves 20 d of the main hammer 20. The first pin grooves 20 d may be formed at an interval of 90 degrees on the outer peripheral surface of the main hammer 20. At this time, the second pin grooves 21 c are formed at an interval of 90 degrees on the inner peripheral surface of the sub hammer 21.

In the second pin groove 21c, an engagement pin 26 that is a cylindrical member is disposed. The engagement pin 26 may be a needle roller. The engaging pin 26 is inserted into the second pin groove 21c from the front end side of the sub hammer 21 and inserted to the groove bottom. With the engagement pin 26 inserted to the bottom of the groove, a stop member 27 having a function of preventing the engagement pin 26 from being detached is fitted into the annular groove 21d formed on the inner peripheral surface of the sub hammer 21. By disposing the stop member 27 in the annular groove 21d, the movement of the engagement pin 26 in the second pin groove 21c is limited.

At the time of assembly, the four first pin grooves 20d of the main hammer 20 and the four engagement pins 26 are aligned with the four engagement pins 26 attached to the four second pin grooves 21c of the sub hammer 21. Then, the main hammer 20 is inserted into the sub hammer 21. As a result, the main hammer 20 and the sub hammer 21 can be rotated together around the rotation axis of the spindle 11.

The main hammer 20 has an annular recess 20c on the rear side. The spring member 23 is interposed between the concave portion 20 c of the main hammer 20 and the annular partition portion 21 e of the sub hammer 21. The main hammer 20 can move in the front-rear direction using the engaging pin 26 as a guide, and can apply a rotational striking force to the anvil 22 by the biasing force of the spring member 23.

The spindle 11 includes two first guide grooves 11b on the outer peripheral surface thereof, and the main hammer 20 includes two first engagement grooves 20b on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole. With the main hammer 20 mounted on the outer periphery of the spindle 11, a steel ball 19 is disposed between the first guide groove 11b and the first engagement groove 20b. The first guide groove 11b on the spindle 11 side, the first engagement groove 20b on the main hammer 20 side, and the steel ball 19 disposed therebetween constitute a “first cam structure”. The first cam structure has a role of moving the main hammer 20 in the rotation axis direction with respect to the spindle 11.

The carrier 16 includes three second guide grooves 16a on the outer periphery of the front surface of the front member 16b, and the auxiliary hammer 21 includes three second engagement grooves 21f on the rear surface of the annular partition portion 21e. In a state where the spindle 11 is inserted into the auxiliary hammer 21, a steel ball 17 is disposed between the second guide groove 16a and the second engagement groove 21f. The second guide groove 16a on the carrier 16 side, the second engagement groove 21f on the sub hammer 21 side, and the steel ball 17 disposed between them constitute a “second cam structure”. The second cam structure has a role of moving the auxiliary hammer 21 in the rotational axis direction with respect to the carrier 16.

In the first cam structure, the first guide groove 11b is formed in a V-shape or a U-shape when viewed from the tip side of the tool. That is, the 1st guide groove 11b has two inclination grooves which incline in the back diagonal direction symmetrically from the foremost part. The first engagement groove 20b is formed in a V-shape or U-shape that is opposite to the tool tip side. When the steel ball 19 moves along the inclined groove from the foremost part of the first guide groove 11 b, the main hammer 20 moves backward relative to the spindle 11.

In the second cam structure, the second guide groove 16a is formed in a V shape or a U shape as viewed from the rear end side of the tool. That is, the second guide groove 16a has two inclined grooves that are symmetrically inclined in the front oblique direction from the rearmost part. The second engagement groove 21f is formed in a V-shape or U-shape in the reverse direction when viewed from the tool rear end side. When the steel ball 17 moves along the inclined groove from the rearmost part of the second guide groove 16 a, the auxiliary hammer 21 moves forward relative to the carrier 16.

Thus, the first guide groove 11b and the second guide groove 16a are formed with inclined grooves extending in different directions in the rotation axis direction. With the first cam structure and the second cam structure, when the main hammer 20 moves in the rotation axis direction, a configuration in which the auxiliary hammer 21 that rotates integrally with the main hammer 20 moves in the direction opposite to the movement direction of the main hammer 20 is realized. The That is, when the main hammer 20 moves backward in the rotation axis direction, the sub hammer 21 moves forward, and when the main hammer 20 moves forward, the sub hammer 21 moves backward.

The anvil 22 that engages with the main hammer 20 is made of steel, and is rotatably supported by the housing 2 via a steel or brass sliding bearing. The tip of the anvil 22 is provided with a tool mounting portion 22a having a square cross section for mounting a socket body to be mounted on the head of a hexagon bolt or a hexagon nut.

A pair of anvil claws that engage with the pair of hammer claws 20a of the main hammer 20 are provided at the rear of the anvil 22. Each of the pair of anvil claws is formed as a columnar member having a sectional fan shape. The anvil claw of the anvil 22 and the hammer claw 20a of the main hammer 20 do not necessarily have to be two, and if the number of the respective claws is equal, three or more at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the anvil 22 and the main hammer 20 It may be provided.

The impact rotary tool 1 according to the embodiment includes at least one of the main hammer 20 and the sub hammer 21 so that the steel ball 19 in the first cam structure and the steel ball 17 in the second cam structure do not come into contact with the groove end portions in the respective cam structures. A stopper member for restricting the movement range in the direction of the one rotation axis is provided. In FIG. 1, the stopper member 30 is provided between the main hammer 20 and the carrier 16 and restricts the movement range of the main hammer 20 in the rotation axis direction. The stopper member 30 will be described in detail later.

Next, operation | movement of the 1st cam structure in the impact rotary tool 1 of embodiment is demonstrated.
When the drive unit 10 is rotationally driven by the pulling operation of the operation switch 4 by the user, the carrier 16 and the spindle 11 are rotated via the power transmission mechanism 12. The rotational force of the spindle 11 is transmitted to the main hammer 20 via a steel ball 19 fitted between the first guide groove 11b of the spindle 11 and the first engagement groove 20b of the main hammer 20, and the main hammer 20 and the auxiliary hammer 20 The hammer 21 rotates as a unit.

FIG. 5A is a diagram for explaining the state of the first cam structure immediately after the start of tightening of the bolts and nuts. FIG. 5B is a diagram for explaining the state of the first cam structure after a lapse of time from the start of tightening. FIGS. 6A to 6C show a positional relationship in which the engagement surfaces of the main hammer 20 and the anvil 22 are schematically developed in the circumferential direction. FIG. 6A shows an engagement state between the hammer claw 20a of the main hammer 20 and the anvil claw 22b of the anvil 22 immediately after the start of tightening the bolts and nuts.

As shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, a rotational force A due to the rotation of the driving unit 10 is applied to the main hammer 20 in the direction indicated by the arrow. Further, a forward biasing force B by the spring member 23 is applied to the main hammer 20 in the direction indicated by the arrow.

When the main hammer 20 rotates, the rotational force of the main hammer 20 is transmitted to the anvil 22 due to the engagement between the hammer claws 20a and the anvil claws 22b. As the anvil 22 rotates, a socket body (not shown) attached to the tool mounting portion 22a rotates, and initial tightening is performed by applying a rotational force to the bolts and nuts. Since the spring member 23 applies the urging force B to the main hammer 20, the steel ball 19 is positioned at the foremost part in the first guide groove 11 b as shown in FIG. At this time, the hammer claw 20a and the anvil claw 22b are engaged with each other with the maximum engagement length.

When the load torque applied to the anvil 22 increases as the tightening of the bolts and nuts proceeds, a rotational force in the Y direction is generated in the main hammer 20. When the load torque exceeds a predetermined value, the steel ball 19 moves in the direction indicated by the arrow F along the slopes of the first guide groove 11b and the first engagement groove 20b against the biasing force B of the spring member 23. Then, the main hammer 20 moves in the backward direction (X direction).

Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the steel ball 19 moves in the inclined groove, the main hammer 20 moves in the X direction by a distance corresponding to the maximum engagement length between the hammer claw 20a and the anvil claw 22b. As shown in FIG. 6B, the engagement between the hammer claw 20a and the anvil claw 22b is released.

When the hammer claw 20a is detached from the anvil claw 22b, the biasing force B of the compressed spring member 23 is released, so that the main hammer 20 rotates at a high speed in the direction in which the rotational force A is applied. Move forward by force B.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6C, the hammer claw 20 a moves along the locus indicated by the arrow G, collides with the anvil claw 22 b, and applies a striking force in the rotation direction to the anvil 22. Thereafter, the hammer claw 20a is moved in the direction opposite to the locus G by the reaction, but finally returns to the state shown in FIG. 6A by the rotational force A and the urging force B. The above operation is repeated, and the rotational hitting force by the main hammer 20 is repeatedly applied to the anvil 22.

The above is the description of the operation when tightening the bolt or nut, but when the tightened bolt or nut is loosened, the rotary hammering mechanism performs almost the same operation as when tightening. In this case, by rotating the drive unit 10 in the direction opposite to that at the time of tightening, the steel ball 19 moves to the upper right along the first guide groove 11b shown in FIG. 5A, and the hammer claw 20a is moved to the anvil claw. Strike 22b in the opposite direction to that during tightening.

Next, the operation of the second cam structure will be described.
Since the auxiliary hammer 21 rotates integrally with the main hammer 20, the relative position in the rotation direction of the auxiliary hammer 21 and the main hammer 20 does not change. Therefore, when the steel ball 19 moves toward the groove end portion of the first guide groove 11b in the first cam structure, the steel ball 17 moves toward the groove end portion of the second guide groove 16a also in the second cam structure.

FIG. 7A is a diagram for explaining the state of the second cam structure immediately after the start of tightening of the bolts and nuts. FIG.7 (b) is a figure for demonstrating the state of the 2nd cam structure after time progress from a fastening start. When the steel ball 19 is positioned at the foremost portion of the first guide groove 11b in the first cam structure (see FIG. 5A), the steel ball 17 is positioned at the rearmost portion of the second guide groove 16a in the second cam structure. (See FIG. 7A).

Then, when the steel ball 19 moves along the inclined surface from the foremost portion of the first guide groove 11b in the first cam structure, the steel ball 17 moves from the rearmost portion of the second guide groove 16a to the inclined surface also in the second cam structure. Move along. FIG. 7B shows a state in which the steel ball 17 is moving in the second guide groove 16a. At this time, the secondary hammer 21 moves in the direction opposite to the moving direction (X direction) of the main hammer 20. That is, when the main hammer 20 moves backward, the auxiliary hammer 21 moves forward.

As described above, in the impact rotary tool 1 according to the embodiment, when the main hammer 20 moves in the rotation axis direction by the first cam structure and the second cam structure, the sub hammer 21 moves in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the main hammer 20. Is configured to do. Since the sub hammer 21 moves in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the main hammer 20, vibration generated by the movement of the main hammer 20 in the axial direction can be absorbed, and vibration transmitted to the user's hand can be reduced.

The amount of movement of the main hammer 20 in the axial direction and the amount of movement of the auxiliary hammer 21 in the axial direction are defined by the shapes of the first cam structure and the second cam structure, respectively. Since the ratio of the amount of movement for canceling axial vibrations preferably depends on the masses of the main hammer 20 and the secondary hammer 21, the shapes of the first cam structure and the second cam structure are the main hammer 20 and It is preferable to design appropriately according to the mass of the secondary hammer 21.

FIG. 8A shows a front view of the rotary striking mechanism. FIG. 8A shows a state in which the steel ball 19 is positioned at the foremost part of the first guide groove 11b. The first engagement groove 20b having a shape opposite to that of the first guide groove 11b has two inclined grooves inclined forward from the rearmost part where the steel ball 19 is disposed.
FIG. 8B shows a CC cross-sectional view of the rotary impact mechanism. In FIG. 8B, illustration of the spring member 23, the planetary gear 14 and the like is omitted. In this state, the steel ball 17 is located at the rearmost part of the second guide groove 16a.
FIG. 8C shows a DD sectional view of the rotary striking mechanism. The second guide groove 16a has two inclined grooves inclined forward from the rearmost part where the steel ball 17 is disposed.

FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the rotary impact mechanism when the steel ball moves in the first cam structure and the second cam structure. In this example, the main hammer 20 moves backward by the movement amount M with respect to the spindle 11, and the auxiliary hammer 21 moves forward by the movement amount N with respect to the carrier 16. As described with reference to FIG. 6B, when the movement amount M of the main hammer 20 reaches a distance corresponding to the maximum engagement length between the hammer claws 20a and the anvil claws 22b, the engagement between the hammer claws 20a and the anvil claws 22b. The match is released.

The inclined groove length of the first guide groove 11b is such that when the movement amount M of the main hammer 20 reaches the maximum engagement length of the hammer claw 20a and the anvil claw 22b, the steel ball 19 is at the end of the inclined groove of the first guide groove 11b. Designed to a length that does not abut. The same applies to the second cam structure. When the movement amount M of the main hammer 20 reaches the maximum engagement length of the hammer pawl 20a and the anvil pawl 22b, the steel ball 17 hits the inclined groove end of the second guide groove 16a. The inclined groove length of the second guide groove 16a is designed so as not to contact.

However, since the main hammer 20 and the secondary hammer 21 reciprocate at high speed in the direction of the rotation axis while rotating integrally, there is a possibility that the main hammer 20 moves backward beyond the distance of the maximum engagement length due to inertial force.

FIG. 10A shows a state in which the steel ball 17 is in contact with the groove end portion 16e of the second guide groove 16a in the second cam structure. If the steel ball 17 collides with the groove end portion 16e, the impact is transmitted to the user, which is not preferable.
FIG. 10B shows a state in which the steel ball 19 is in contact with the groove end portion 11c of the first guide groove 11b in the first cam structure. Similarly to the state shown in FIG. 10A, it is not preferable that the steel ball 19 collides with the groove end portion 11c.

When the movable range in the circumferential direction of the first cam structure and the second cam structure of the embodiment is compared, the movable range of the inclined groove of the first cam structure is approximately 90 degrees, and the movable range of the inclined groove of the second cam structure is Is approximately 60 degrees, the range of motion of the second cam structure is narrower. This means that the second cam structure reaches the movable limit earlier than the first cam structure.

Therefore, in the embodiment, after the steel ball 17 collides with the groove end portion 16e in the second cam structure, the steel ball 19 does not collide with the groove end portion 11c in the first cam structure. Which cam structure reaches the movable limit first depends on the circumferential movable range of each guide groove. Therefore, if the movable range of the first cam structure is narrower, the steel ball 19 may collide with the groove end portion 11c of the first guide groove 11b as shown in FIG. 10 (b).

Therefore, the impact rotary tool 1 is a stopper that restricts the movement range of at least one of the main hammer 20 and the sub hammer 21 in the rotational axis direction so that the steel ball 19 and the steel ball 17 do not come into contact with the groove ends of the respective cam structures. A member is provided. In FIG. 1, the stopper member 30 is an annular member fixed to the front member 16 b so as to surround the base portion of the spindle 11, and restricts the range of movement of the main hammer 20 in the backward direction. The front end portion of the stopper member 30 in the initial state before the operation of the impact rotary tool 1 is the rear end of the main hammer 20 before the steel ball 19 or the steel ball 17 contacts the groove end portion of the cam structure when the main hammer 20 is retracted. It arrange | positions in the position which contacts an edge part.

Note that, as described above, the cam structure that reaches the movable limit first is specified by the width of the circumferential movable range of the first cam structure and the second cam structure. When the first cam structure and the second cam structure are formed so that the steel ball 19 comes into contact with the end of the groove before the steel ball 17, the stopper member is the groove end of the first cam structure. It is preferable to restrict the movement of the main hammer 20 in the direction of the rotation axis so as not to contact the portion 11c. By restricting the movement of the main hammer 20 connected to the first cam structure having the movable limit first, the collision between the steel ball 19 and the groove end portion 11c can be effectively avoided. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the stopper member 30 is disposed so as to face the rear end portion of the main hammer 20, so that the operation of the first cam structure can be limited before the movable limit.

On the other hand, when the first cam structure and the second cam structure are formed such that the steel ball 17 comes into contact with the end of the groove before the steel ball 19, the stopper member is configured such that the steel ball 17 is the second cam. It is preferable to restrict the range of movement of the auxiliary hammer 21 in the rotation axis direction so as not to contact the groove end portion 16e of the structure.

FIG. 11 shows a stopper member 31 that regulates the movement range of the auxiliary hammer 21. The stopper member 31 is provided between the sub hammer 21 and a member located in the forward direction of the sub hammer 21 and restricts the movement range of the sub hammer 21 in the rotation axis direction. In FIG. 11, the member located in the forward direction of the auxiliary hammer 21 is the housing 2, but may be another member.

The stopper member 31 is an annular member that faces the front end portion of the sub hammer 21 and is fixed to the housing 2. In the initial state, the rear end portion of the stopper member 31 is disposed at a position where it contacts the front end portion of the sub hammer 21 before the steel ball 17 contacts the groove end portion 16e in the second cam structure. By restricting the movement of the secondary hammer 21 connected to the second cam structure having the movable limit first, it is possible to effectively avoid the collision between the steel ball 17 and the groove end portion 16e.

The impact rotary tool 1 may be provided with either the stopper member 30 or the stopper member 31 corresponding to the cam structure in which the movable limit comes first, but may also include both. In this case, the stopper member 30 restricts the movement range of the main hammer 20 in the rotation axis direction, and the stopper member 31 restricts the movement range of the sub hammer 21 in the rotation axis direction. Thus, it is possible to reliably avoid the situation of contacting the groove end in each cam structure. In particular, when the movable ranges in the circumferential direction of the first cam structure and the second cam structure are substantially the same, the impact rotary tool 1 preferably includes both the stopper member 30 and the stopper member 31.

FIG. 12A shows the stopper member 32 that regulates the movement range of the main hammer 20 and the sub hammer 21. The stopper member 32 is provided inside the sub hammer 21 and restricts the movement range of the main hammer 20 and the sub hammer 21 in the rotation axis direction.

FIG. 12B shows an example of the assembly process of the stopper member 32. The stopper member 32 is provided with four pin grooves 32 a on the outer peripheral surface thereof and having a semicircular cross section and parallel to the rotation axis of the spindle 11. Engagement pins 26 attached to the sub hammer 21 are inserted into the four pin grooves 32 a of the stopper member 32. The stopper member 32 may be fixed to the annular partition portion 21e, but may not be fixed.

The front end portion of the stopper member 32 faces the outer peripheral rear end portion of the main hammer 20. The distance between the front end portion of the stopper member 32 and the outer peripheral rear end portion of the main hammer 20 in the initial state is such that the steel ball 19 or the steel ball 17 comes into contact with the groove end portion of each cam structure when the main hammer 20 is retracted. The distance between the front end portion of the member 32 and the outer peripheral rear end portion of the main hammer 20 is set. The stopper member 32 has an advantage that the movement range in the rotation axis direction of the main hammer 20 and the sub hammer 21 can be restricted independently.

The outline of one embodiment of the present invention is as follows.
An impact rotary tool (1) according to an aspect of the present invention includes a drive unit (10), a spindle (11) rotated by the drive unit, and can rotate about the rotation axis of the spindle and move in the rotation axis direction.
