Impact rotary tool
An impact rotary tool includes a hammer and an anvil that transmits rotational impact force from the hammer to a tip tool. The anvil includes a first member and a second member. The first member holds the tip tool thereon. The first member is fitted into the second member. The rotational impact force is applied to the second member. The first member and the second member are arranged to be fitted into each other in a fitting portion. The fitting portion has a tolerating mechanism. The tolerating mechanism tolerates misalignment of a first rotational axis with a second rotational axis. The first rotational axis is a rotational axis of the first member. The second rotational axis is a rotational axis of the second member.
1. An impact rotary tool comprising: a hammer; and an anvil configured to transmit rotational impact force from the hammer to a tip tool,
the anvil including:
a first member configured to hold the tip tool thereon; and
a second member to which the first member is fitted and to which the rotational impact force is applied, wherein:
the first member and the second member are arranged to be fitted into each other in a fitting portion,
the fitting portion has a tolerating mechanism configured to tolerate misalignment of a first rotational axis with a second rotational axis, the first rotational axis being a rotational axis of the first member, the second rotational axis being a rotational axis of the second member,
the fitting portion includes:
a first fitting portion forming part of the first member and fitted into the second member, the first fitting portion having a first surface as one surface thereof; and
a second fitting portion forming part of the second member and fitted into the first member, the second fitting portion having a second surface as one surface thereof,
the first surface and the second surface face each other, and
the tolerating mechanism tolerates the misalignment of the first rotational axis with the second rotational axis in a state in which a portion of the first surface and a portion of the second surface are in contact with each other in a direction about the second rotational axis.
2. The impact rotary tool of claim 1 , wherein
the tolerating mechanism is implemented by forming at least part of the first surface and/or at least part of the second surface in a convex curved surface shape.
3. The impact rotary tool of claim 2 , wherein
the tolerating mechanism is implemented by forming a part of either the first surface or the second surface in the convex curved surface shape.
4. The impact rotary tool of claim 3 , wherein
the part, formed in the convex curved surface shape, of either the first surface or the second surface has a constant curvature.
5. The impact rotary tool of claim 2 , wherein
the tolerating mechanism is implemented by forming almost all of either the first surface or the second surface in the convex curved surface shape.
6. The impact rotary tool of claim 1 , wherein
the fitting portion further has a restricting mechanism configured to restrict the misalignment.
7. The impact rotary tool of claim 6 , wherein
the fitting portion is formed in a cylindrical shape, and
the restricting mechanism includes a shaft-shaped centering member disposed inside the fitting portion.
8. The impact rotary tool of claim 7 , wherein
the restricting mechanism further includes a ringlike elastic member provided to surround an outer periphery of the fitting portion.
9. The impact rotary tool of claim 7 , wherein
the anvil further includes a shock absorber disposed inside the fitting portion, and
the centering member and the shock absorber leave a gap, aligned with the second rotational axis, between the first member and the second member.
