Abstract

A magnetic screwdriver device includes one pad without magnetism, one driving shaft, and one driven shaft. The two shafts, which have magnetic attraction between each other, are disposed on opposite sides of the pad respectively and attract to each other. The driving shaft is used to transmit torque to actuate the driven shaft rotation. When the torque out of predetermined value overcomes the friction force between the driven shaft and the pad, the driven shaft will be stop.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A magnetic screwdriver device, comprising:
a pad without magnetism;
a driving shaft with magnetic attraction property disposed on one side of the pad and in touch with the pad; and
a driven shaft disposed on the opposite side of the pad respectively to the driving shaft and in touch with the pad;
wherein the driving shaft and the driven shaft have magnetic attraction between each other, and the driving shaft transmits torque to actuate the driven shaft rotate; the driven shaft will be stop when the torque exceeds a predetermined value.

2. The magnetic screwdriver device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the driving shaft and the driven shaft includes magnet or metal with magnetic attraction property such that the driving shaft and the driven shaft have magnetic attraction between each other.

3. The magnetic screwdriver device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pad includes at least one of metal, plastic, rubber, ceramics and organic compound.

4. The magnetic screwdriver device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the pad includes Polydimethylsiloxane.

5. The magnetic screwdriver device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the axial end of the driven shaft includes a first groove for the pad to put into, and a part of the axial end of the driving shaft extends into the first groove and in touch with the pad.

6. The magnetic screwdriver device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the axial end of the driving shaft includes a second groove for the pad to put into, and a part of the axial end of the driven shaft extends into the second groove and in touch with the pad.

7. The magnetic screwdriver device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driven shaft comprising:
an axle body including one axial end displacing the pad and the driving shaft, and another axial end including a third groove;
a buffer element displaced in the third groove; and
a screwdriver including an axial end extending into the third groove and in touch with the buffer element.

8. The magnetic screwdriver device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the buffer includes a spring.

9. The magnetic screwdriver device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the axle body comprised a slot in connected to the third groove which the longitudinal direction of the slot being parallel to the axis of the axle body, and the axial end of the screwdriver extending into the third groove comprises a convex part embed in the slot.
