Abstract

An impact tool includes: an electric motor including a drive shaft rotating about a first axis; an impact member configured to be driven by the electric motor; an output mechanism configured to be provided with an impact force by the impact member; a transmission mechanism disposed between the electric motor and the impact member and transmitting torque outputted by the drive shaft to the impact member; and a power supply configured to supply electrical energy to the impact tool. The output mechanism includes: a first output shaft driven by an impact member to rotate, a second output shaft connected to the first output shaft and retained at the front-most end of the impact tool to be mounted with a tool accessory. The front end surface of the first output shaft is configured as a force-bearing region bearing an impact reaction force from the tool accessory.

Claims (39)

1 . An impact tool, comprising:

an electric motor comprising a drive shaft rotating about a first axis;

an impact member configured to be driven by the electric motor;

a transmission mechanism disposed between the electric motor and the impact member and transmitting torque outputted by the drive shaft to the impact member;

a power supply configured to supply electrical energy to the impact tool;

an output mechanism configured to be provided with an impact force by the impact member and comprising a first output shaft driven by the impact member to rotate and a second output shaft connected to the first output shaft and retained at a front-most end of the impact tool to be mounted with a tool accessory; and

a connector configured to connect the first output shaft to the second output shaft,

wherein a front end surface of the first output shaft is configured as a force-bearing region bearing an impact reaction force from the tool accessory.

2 . The impact tool according to claim 1 , wherein a partially nested region exists between the first output shaft and the second output shaft, and a length of the nested region along a front and rear direction is greater than or equal to 3 mm.

3 . The impact tool according to claim 2 , wherein a maximum radial length of the nested region is greater than or equal to 6 mm and less than or equal to 45 mm.

4 . The impact tool according to claim 2 , wherein the length of the nested region along the front and rear direction is greater than or equal to 8 mm.

5 . The impact tool according to claim 1 , wherein at least a front end of the second output shaft is configured as a shaft in a shape of a square column so as to be mounted with the tool accessory.

6 . The impact tool according to claim 1 , wherein a buffer is disposed between the connector and the first output shaft.

7 . The impact tool according to claim 1 , wherein the connector comprises a screw.

8 . The impact tool according to claim 1 , wherein the front end surface of the first output shaft is in contact with a rear end surface of the tool accessory mounted on the second output shaft.

9 . The impact tool according to claim 1 , wherein at least part of a surface layer of the first output shaft and/or the second output shaft has a first hardness, a core region of the first output shaft and/or the second output shaft has a second hardness, and the first hardness is greater than the second hardness.

10 . The impact tool according to claim 9 , wherein an intermediate region between the surface layer and the core region has a third hardness and the third hardness is less than the second hardness.

11 . The impact tool according to claim 1 , wherein an axial positioning portion is disposed on the second output shaft to axially position the tool accessory.

12 . The impact tool according to claim 1 , wherein a size of the second output shaft is greater than or equal to one-quarter inch and less than or equal to two and a half inches.

13 . An impact tool, comprising:

an electric motor comprising a drive shaft rotating about a first axis;

an impact member configured to be driven by the electric motor;

a transmission mechanism disposed between the electric motor and the impact member and transmitting torque outputted by the drive shaft to the impact member;

a power supply configured to supply electrical energy to the impact tool; and

an output mechanism configured to be provided with an impact force by the impact member and comprising a first output shaft configured to rotate in response to receiving an impact force along a rotation direction of the impact member and a second output shaft connected to the first output shaft and retained at a front-most end of the impact tool to be mounted with a tool accessory;

wherein an axial partially nested region exists between the first output shaft and the second output shaft, and a length of the nested region is greater than or equal to 3 mm.

14 . The impact tool according to claim 13 , wherein a maximum radial length of the nested region is greater than or equal to 6 mm and less than or equal to 45 mm.

15 . The impact tool according to claim 13 , wherein an axial positioning portion is disposed on the second output shaft to axially position the tool accessory.

16 . The impact tool according to claim 13 , wherein a hardness of a surface of the first output shaft and/or the second output shaft is greater than a hardness of a core of the first output shaft and/or the second output shaft.

17 . The impact tool according to claim 16 , wherein a hardness of an intermediate region between the surface and the core is less than the hardness of the core.

18 . An impact tool, comprising:

an electric motor comprising a drive shaft rotating about a first axis;

an impact member configured to be driven by the electric motor;

a transmission mechanism disposed between the electric motor and the impact member and transmitting torque outputted by the drive shaft to the impact member;

a power supply configured to supply electrical energy to the impact tool; and

an output mechanism configured to be provided with an impact force by the impact member and comprising a first output shaft driven by the impact member to rotate and a second output shaft connected to the first output shaft and retained at a front-most end of the impact tool to be mounted with a tool accessory,
