Abstract

An electrically-adjustable tool holder precisely movable in a straight line within a magnetic field under electrical stimulation includes a handle body, a connecting member, and a driving member. The connecting member has a first end securely coupled to an end of the handle body, a second end opposite to the first end, and defines a through hole passing through the first end and the second end. The driving member includes a magnet securely received in the through hole, and an electrical electric coil movably received in the magnet. The electric coil is configured to be securely coupled to the tool, and moves the tool up or down along the central axis of the handle body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrically-adjustable tool holder configured for holding a tool and comprising:
a handle body;
a connecting member with a first end securely coupled to an end of the handle body and a second end opposite to the first end, the connecting member defining a through hole passing through the first end and the second end; and
a driving member comprising:
a magnet securely received in the through hole, and
an electric coil movably received in the magnet and securely coupled to the tool, wherein the electric coil is configured to move the tool up or down along a central axis of the handle body in the magnet when electrically stimulated,

wherein the magnet comprises:
a loading body comprising a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, and a sidewall interconnecting the first end and the second end, and defining a holding hole space with an inner surface in the loading body extending from the first loading end into the loading body toward the second loading end, and
a plurality of magnetic plates mounted on the inner surface of the holding hole;
the electric coil is movably received in the holding hole.

2. The electrically-adjustable tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the handle body is partially received in the through hole, and spaced a predetermined distance from the magnet.

3. The electrically-adjustable tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the handle body comprises a mounting portion, and a connecting portion extending from an end of the mounting portion and securely received in the through hole.

4. The electrically-adjustable tool holder of claim 3 , wherein the connecting portion defines a receiving hole communicating with the through hole.

5. The electrically-adjustable tool holder of claim 3 , wherein the mounting portion defines a mounting groove on the outer surface thereof.

6. The electrically-adjustable tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the electric coil is a three-phase wound coil.

7. The electrically-adjustable tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic plates are spaced away from each other, around the central axis of the loading body.

8. The electrically-adjustable tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the electrically-adjustable tool holder further comprises a guide member which is at least partially received in the through hole, the guide member is configured for guiding the tool.

9. The electrically-adjustable tool holder of claim 8 , wherein the guide member defines a locking portion on the outer surface thereof, the connecting member defines a latching portion matching with the locking portion on the inner surface of the through hole, the latching portion resists the locking portion.

10. The electrically-adjustable tool holder of claim 9 , wherein the through hole includes a first connecting hole, a second connecting hole, and a third connecting hole, in that order; a diameter of the first connecting hole is greater than that of the second connecting hole, the diameter of the second connecting hole is greater than that of the third connecting hole; the handle body is partially received in the first connecting hole, the magnet is securely received in the second connecting hole, and the guide member is partially received in the third connecting hole.
