Abstract

An electric tool includes a tool body and a clamping device configured to clamp an operating attachment. The clamping device includes a moving member, a biasing member, a limiting member, and a switching mechanism. The moving member is sleeved on the output assembly and has a locking position where the operating attachment is locked. The biasing member is configured to apply a biasing force to the moving member to keep the moving member in the locking position. The switching mechanism includes a toggle portion and a driven portion. The toggle portion is configured to be movable toward the tool body and drive the moving member to move in a direction away from the tool body to disengage from the locking position. The biasing member is configured to apply a biasing force to the driven portion to keep the moving member in the locking position.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electric screwdriver, comprising:
a tool body comprising an output assembly having a cavity for receiving an end portion of an operating attachment, wherein the tool body includes a master housing and a clamp housing;
a clamping device comprising a moving member sleeved on the output assembly, a biasing member, and a limiting member wherein the biasing member is disposed between the moving member and the limiting member and the biasing member is configured to apply a biasing force to the moving member to keep the moving member in a locking position in which the operating attachment is locked in the cavity; and
a switching mechanism comprising a toggle portion and a driven portion wherein the toggle portion is configured to be movable toward the tool body and to drive the moving member to move in a direction away from the tool body to disengage from the locking position and the biasing member is configured to apply a biasing force to the driven portion to keep the moving member in the locking position, and the switching mechanism is pivotally connected to the clamp housing through a pivot shaft,
wherein the limiting member is provided with a torque-transfer portion and the limiting member is configured to rotate synchronously with the output assembly through the torque-transfer portion.

2. The electric screwdriver of claim 1 , wherein the moving member is disposed on a turning path of the driven portion.

3. The electric screwdriver of claim 1 , wherein the driven portion comprises two end arms and an opening is formed between the two end arms in which the moving member is disposed.

4. The electric screwdriver of claim 3 , wherein an outer periphery of the moving member is provided with a flange cooperating with the driven portion and the two end arms engage at an axial rear end of the flange.

5. The electric screwdriver of claim 1 , wherein the driven portion and the toggle portion are integrally formed.

6. The electric screwdriver of claim 1 , wherein the output assembly comprises an outer circumferential surface, the limiting member is an annular member sleeved on the output assembly, the annular member comprises an inner ring cooperating with the outer circumferential surface, and the torque-transfer portion comprises a non-circular portion disposed on the inner ring.

7. The electric screwdriver of claim 1 , wherein the electric screwdriver further comprises a switching switch, the switching switch is configured to drive the toggle portion to rotate when operated by a user, and the switching switch is disposed at a front portion of the tool body.

8. The electric screwdriver of claim 7 , wherein the tool body is further formed with a hollow sliding groove and the switching switch is configured to slide in the sliding groove along a direction of a first straight line.

9. The electric screwdriver of claim 8 , wherein the electric screwdriver further comprises a trigger configured to control startup of the electric tool and a distance between the switching switch and the trigger is greater than or equal to 16 mm and less than or equal to 20 mm along the direction of the first straight line.

10. The electric screwdriver of claim 8 , wherein the switching mechanism is pivotally connected to the tool body about a first axis through the pivot shaft and the first axis is perpendicular to the first straight line.

11. The electric screwdriver of claim 1 , wherein the switching mechanism is pivotally connected to the tool body about a first axis through the pivot shaft and the pivot shaft is arranged on a lower side of the output assembly.

12. An electric tool, comprising:
a tool body comprising an output assembly having a cavity for receiving an end portion of an operating attachment;
a clamping device comprising a moving member sleeved on the output assembly, a biasing member, and a limiting member wherein the biasing member is disposed between the moving member and the limiting member and the biasing member is configured to apply a biasing force to the moving member to keep the moving member in a locking position where the operating attachment is locked in the cavity, wherein the limiting member is provided with a torque-transfer portion and the limiting member is configured to rotate synchronously with the output assembly through the torque-transfer portion; and
a switching mechanism capable of driving the moving member to disengage from the locking position wherein the biasing member is configured to apply a biasing force to the switching mechanism to keep the moving member in the locking position.

13. The electric tool of claim 12 , wherein the tool body comprises a tool housing, the switching mechanism is pivotally connected to the tool housing, and the moving member is disposed on a turning path of the driven portion.

14. The electric tool of claim 12 , wherein the switching mechanism further comprise a toggle portion and a driven portion and the toggle portion is configured to be movable toward the tool body so as to enable the driven portion to drive the moving member to move in a direction away from the tool body to disengage from the locking position.

15. The electric tool of claim 14 , wherein the driven portion and the toggle portion are integrally formed.

16. The electric tool of claim 12 , wherein the electric tool further comprises a switching switch, the switching switch is configured to drive the switching mechanism to rotate when operated by a user, and the switching switch is disposed at a front portion of the tool body.

17. The electric tool of claim 16 , wherein the tool body is further formed with a hollow sliding groove and the switching switch is configured to slide in the sliding groove along a direction of a first straight line.

18. The electric tool of claim 17 , wherein the electric tool further comprises a trigger configured to control startup of the electric tool and a distance between the switching switch and the trigger is greater than or equal to 16 mm and less than or equal to 20 mm along the direction of the first straight line.

19. The electric tool of claim 12 , wherein the switching mechanism is pivotally connected to the tool body about a first axis through a pivot shaft and the pivot shaft is arranged on a lower side of the output assembly.
