Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A torque output tool includes a torque output assembly for outputting torque, a transmission mechanism for driving the torque output assembly to rotate about a central axis, a prime mover for driving the transmission mechanism, and a housing for containing the prime mover. The torque output assembly includes a torque output element including an insert hole, an inner transmission surface for driving a first work head inserted in the insert hole, an outer transmission surface for driving a second work head mounted on the torque output element, a magnetic element for attracting the second work head driven by the torque output element, and a bracket for supporting the magnetic element outside the insert hole. The inner transmission surface is located inside the insert hole and the outer transmission surface is located outside the insert hole.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A torque output tool, comprising: a torque output assembly for outputting torque; a transmission mechanism for driving the torque output assembly to rotate about a central axis; a prime mover for driving the transmission mechanism; and a housing for containing the prime mover; wherein the torque output assembly comprises: a torque output element comprising: an insert hole; an inner transmission surface for driving a first work head inserted in the insert hole; and an outer transmission surface for driving a second work head mounted on the torque output element; a magnetic element for attracting the second work head driven by the torque output element; a bracket for supporting the magnetic element outside the insert hole; a limiting element for limiting the axial position of the first work head inserted in the insert hole; and a biasing element for biasing the limiting element against the first work head; wherein the inner transmission surface is located inside the insert hole and the outer transmission surface is located outside the insert hole, wherein the bracket has an annular shape which surrounds the torque output element, the annular shape is separately formed and fixedly connected with the torque output element through a locking element, the locking element and the limiting element are disposed on the opposite sides in the circumferential direction of the central axis, and wherein the torque output element is provided with a first through hole extended along the direction perpendicular to the central axis, the bracket is provided with a second through hole extended along the direction perpendicular to the central axis, and the first through hole and the second through hole constitute a containing hole for accommodating the limiting element and the biasing element. 2. The torque output tool of claim 1 , wherein the inner transmission surface is parallel to the central axis. 3. The torque output tool of claim 1 , wherein the outer transmission surface is parallel to the central axis. 4. The torque output tool of claim 1 , wherein a first distance between the outer transmission surface and the central axis is greater than a second distance between the inner transmission surface and the central axis. 5. The torque output tool of claim 1 , wherein a third distance between the magnetic element and the central axis is greater than a first distance between the outer transmission surface and the central axis. 6. The torque output tool of claim 1 , wherein the biasing element is a coil spring. 7. The torque output tool of claim 1 , wherein in a direction parallel to the central axis a distance between the magnetic element and one end of the outer transmission surface that is farthest from the magnetic element is greater than or equal to 9.5 mm and less than or equal to 11.5 mm. 8. The torque output tool of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic element has an annular shape or is arranged on the circumference of the central axis. 9. A torque output assembly, comprising: a torque output element comprising: an insert hole; an inner transmission surface for driving a first work head inserted in the insert hole; and an outer transmission surface for driving a second work head mounted on the torque output element; a magnetic element for attracting the second work head driven by the torque output element; a bracket for supporting the magnetic element outside the insert hole; a limiting element for limiting the axial position of the first work head inserted in the insert hole; and a biasing element for biasing the limiting element against the first work head, wherein the inner transmission surface is located inside the insert hole and the outer transmission surface is located outside the insert hole, wherein the bracket has an annular shape which surrounds the torque output element, the annular shape is separately formed and fixedly connected with the torque output element through a locking element, the locking element and the limiting element are disposed on the opposite sides in the circumferential direction of the central axis; and wherein the torque output element is provided with a first through hole extended along the direction perpendicular to the central axis, the bracket is provided with a second through hole extended along the direction perpendicular to the central axis, and the first through hole and the second through hole constitute a containing hole for accommodating the limiting element and the biasing element. 10. The torque output assembly of claim 9 , wherein the inner transmission surface is parallel to the central axis. 11. The torque output assembly of claim 9 , wherein the outer transmission surface is parallel to the central axis. 12. The torque output assembly of claim 9 , wherein a first distance between the outer transmission surface and the central axis is greater than a second distance between the inner transmission surface and the central axis. 13. The torque output assembly of claim 9 , wherein a third distance between the magnetic element and the central axis is greater than a first distance between the outer transmission surface and the central axis. 14. The torque output assembly of claim 9 , wherein the biasing element is a coil spring. 15. The torque output assembly of claim 9 , wherein in a direction parallel to the central axis a distance between the magnetic element and one end of the outer transmission surface that far from the magnetic element is greater than or equal to 9.5 mm and less than or equal to 11.5 mm. 16. The torque output assembly of claim 9 , wherein the magnetic element has an annular shape or is arranged on the circumference of the central axis.
