Percussion mechanism device, in particular for an impact wrench
A percussion mechanism device, in particular for an impact wrench, includes a drivable drive shaft that has at least one guide groove, an output shaft, and a percussion unit that includes an anvil coupled with the output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, a hammer, and at least one ball. The hammer is supported via the at least one ball along the at least one guide groove on the drive shaft and includes an at least regionally concavely curved ball guidance area that has an axial clearance from the at least one ball at a radially innermost point that is greater than a radial clearance between the at least one ball and a radially innermost point of a concave ball guidance area of the at least one guide groove.
1. A percussion mechanism device comprising:
a drivable drive shaft that includes at least one guide groove;
an output shaft; and
a percussion unit that includes:
an anvil coupled in a rotationally fixed manner with the output shaft;
a hammer; and
at least one ball, wherein the hammer:
is supported via the at least one ball along the at least one guide groove on the drive shaft; and
includes an at least regionally concavely curved ball guidance area that has an axial clearance in a direction toward a drive motor from the at least one ball at a radially innermost point that is greater than a radial clearance between the at least one ball and a radially innermost point of a concave ball guidance area of the at least one guide groove when the at least one ball is in a foremost position of the at least one guide groove and the hammer is in a foremost position,
wherein the axial clearance from the radially innermost point of the concavely curved ball guidance area is more than three times as large as the radial clearance between the at least one ball and the radially innermost point of the concave ball guidance area of the at least one guide groove.
2. The percussion mechanism device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ball is arranged for a contact-pressure surface to radially press the at least one ball toward the at least one guide groove.
3. The percussion mechanism device of claim 2 , wherein the contact-pressure surface includes a cylindrical inner wall against which the at least one ball can be pressed, and a diameter of the inner wall corresponds at least to twice a diameter of the at least one ball plus a smallest thickness of the drive shaft in a region of the at least one guide groove.
4. The percussion mechanism device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ball is arranged for a contact-pressure surface to radially press the at least one ball toward the at least one guide groove in such a way that a contact area of the at least one ball with the at least one guide groove extends across at least 2% of a ball surface of the at least one ball.
5. The percussion mechanism device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ball guidance area of the hammer is arranged to transmit a radial contact pressure to the at least one ball.
6. The percussion mechanism device of claim 5 , further comprising at least one spring-force element arranged to exert the radial contact pressure on the at least one ball via the at least one ball guidance area of the hammer.
7. The percussion mechanism device of claim 1 , wherein the ball guidance area has at least one elevated profile when viewed in a circumferential direction.
8. The percussion mechanism device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one guide groove includes at least two guide grooves and the at least one ball includes at least two balls that are supported within the guide grooves at least in an operating state.
9. The percussion mechanism device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one guide groove includes a semicircular groove base.
10. The percussion mechanism device of claim 1 , wherein the percussion mechanism device is for an impact wrench.
11. An impact wrench comprising a percussion mechanism device, the percussion mechanism device including:
a drivable drive shaft that includes at least one guide groove;
an output shaft; and
a percussion unit that includes:
an anvil coupled in a rotationally fixed manner with the output shaft;
a hammer; and
at least one ball, wherein the hammer:
is supported via the at least one ball along the at least one guide groove on the drive shaft; and
includes an at least regionally concavely curved ball guidance area that has an axial clearance in a direction toward a drive motor from the at least one ball at a radially innermost point that is greater than a radial clearance between the at least one ball and a radially innermost point of a concave ball guidance area of the at least one guide groove when the at least one ball is in a foremost position of the at least one guide groove and the hammer is in a foremost position,
wherein the axial clearance from the radially innermost point of the concavely curved ball guidance area is more than three times as large as the radial clearance between the at least one ball and the radially innermost point of the concave ball guidance area of the at least one guide groove.
