Abstract

An electric screwdriver includes a motor having a motor shaft, a handle housing for accommodating the motor, an output shaft at least partly protruding from the handle housing, a transmission device for enabling the motor shaft to drive the output shaft to rotate around a first axis, an exploring antenna for detecting whether an object is charged, and an operating switch coupled to the handle housing for controlling the motor. The exploring antenna has a front end portion extending beyond the handle housing. The output shaft has an inserting groove, and a ratio of the maximum size of the handle housing to the maximum size of the inserting groove in a radial direction of the output shaft is greater than or equal to 3.9 and less than or equal to 8.

Claims (38)

1. An electric screwdriver, comprising:

a motor having a motor shaft;

a handle housing for accommodating the motor;

an output shaft at least partly protruding from the handle housing, the output shaft defining an inserting groove, and a ratio of the maximum size of the handle housing to the maximum size of the inserting groove in a radial direction of the output shaft is greater than or equal to 3.9 and less than or equal to 8;

a transmission device for enabling the motor shaft to drive the output shaft to rotate around a first axis;

an exploring antenna for detecting whether an object is electrically charged, the exploring antenna comprising a front end portion extending beyond the handle housing; and

an operating switch coupled to the handle housing for controlling operation of the motor, the operating switch having an operating portion, and a portion of the operating portion having a maximum distance between two points in a circumferential direction of the first axis has a radian of at least 60 degrees.

2. The electric screwdriver according to claim 1 , wherein the operating switch has a substantially annular configuration surrounding the exterior of the handle housing.

3. The electric screwdriver according to claim 1 , wherein the operating switch is arranged to rotate around the first axis relative to the handle housing.

4. The electric screwdriver according to claim 1 , further comprising a testing button for controlling whether the exploring antenna is energized.

5. The electric screwdriver according to claim 1 , further comprising an antenna shield arranged in front of the handle housing wherein the antenna shield comprises a joining portion for joining the antenna shield to the handle housing and a probe portion for accommodating the exploring antenna, and the probe portion protrudes forwards from the joining portion.

6. The electric screwdriver according to claim 1 , further comprising a first wire stripping member fixedly mounted to the handle housing and a second wire stripping member having a wire stripping position wherein the second wire stripping member is rotatably connected to the handle housing.

7. An electric screwdriver, comprising:

a motor having a motor shaft;

a handle housing for accommodating the motor;

an output shaft at least partly protruding from the handle housing;

a transmission device for enabling the motor shaft to drive the output shaft to rotate around a first axis;

an exploring antenna for detecting whether an object is electrically charged, the exploring antenna including a front end portion extending beyond the handle housing; and

an operating switch for controlling operation of the motor and arranged for rotation relative to the handle housing.

8. The electric screwdriver according to claim 7 , wherein the operating switch has an annular configuration surrounding the exterior of the handle housing.

9. The electric screwdriver according to claim 7 , wherein the operating switch is arranged for rotation around the first axis relative to the handle housing.

10. The electric screwdriver according to claim 7 , further comprising a testing button for controlling whether the exploring antenna is energized.

11. The electric screwdriver according to claim 7 , further comprising an antenna shield arranged in front of the handle housing wherein the antenna shield comprises a joining portion for joining the antenna shield to the handle housing and a probe portion for accommodating the exploring antenna, and the probe portion protrudes forwards from the joining portion.

12. The electric screwdriver according to claim 7 , further comprising an illuminating light for illuminating an area in front of the output shaft and a light shield arranged on a front end of the handle housing wherein the illuminating light is accommodated in the light shield, and the light shield comprises a light shield body made of a shading material and a window body made of a transparent material and arranged corresponding to the illuminating light.

13. The electric screwdriver according to claim 12 , wherein the light shield is arranged between the exploring antenna and the handle housing.

14. The electric screwdriver according to claim 7 , further comprising a first wire stripping member fixedly mounted to the handle housing and a second wire stripping member having a wire stripping position wherein the second wire stripping member is rotatably connected to the handle housing.

15. An electric screwdriver, comprising:

a motor having a motor shaft;

a handle housing for at least accommodating the motor;

an output shaft at least partly protruding from the handle housing, the output shaft defining an inserting groove, and a ratio of the maximum size of the handle housing to the maximum size of the inserting groove in a radial direction of the output shaft is greater than or equal to 3.9 and less than or equal to 8;

a transmission device for enabling the motor shaft to drive the output shaft to rotate around a first axis;

an exploring antenna for detecting whether an object is electrically charged; and

an operating switch coupled to the handle housing for controlling the motor.

16. The electric screwdriver according to claim 15 , wherein the operating switch has an annular configuration surrounding the exterior of the handle housing.

17. The electric screwdriver according to claim 15 , wherein the operating switch is arranged for rotation around the first axis relative to the handle housing.

18. The electric screwdriver according to claim 15 , further comprising a testing button for controlling whether the exploring antenna is energized.

19. The electric screwdriver according to claim 15 , further comprising an antenna shield arranged in front of the handle housing wherein the antenna shield comprises a joining portion for joining the antenna shield to the handle housing and a probe portion for accommodating the exploring antenna.

20. The electric screwdriver according to claim 19 , wherein the joining portion surrounds the output shaft and the probe portion protrudes from the joining portion in an axial direction of the output shaft.
