Publication number: 20080167158Abstract: An impact power tool includes a motor, a first planetary gear set, a clutch having a sun gear, a second planetary gear set, a transmission shaft, an intermediate shaft, an impact seat and an output shaft. When the clutch moves to a first position, the transmission shaft engages with a second planet carrier of the second planetary gear set and the output shaft. The power of the motor is transmitted to the output shaft via the first planetary gear set, the second planetary gear set, and the transmission shaft in low-speed mode. When the clutch moves to a second position, the transmission shaft disengages from the second planet carrier and the output shaft. The power of the motor is output to the output shaft via the first planetary gear set, the second planetary gear set, the transmission shaft, the intermediate shaft, and the impact seat in high-speed-with-impact mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2007Publication date: July 10, 2008Inventor: Ting Kuang Chen

Patent number: 6959478Abstract: A shockproof spindle includes a spindle inserted into an elastomer having a compressible structure, and a sleeve having a hollow cylinder, sequentially. The sleeve caps the elastomer while the elastomer is pressed on the top of the base fixed at the bottom end the spindle to expose the chute of the spindle. The ball is then disposed in the chute of the spindle and the chute of the sleeve. After the sleeve is released to return the elastomer to its normal state, the sleeve, the elastomer and the spindle are held together by the ball which is retained in the chutes of the spindle and the sleeve.

Publication number: 20050092503Abstract: A shockproof spindle includes a spindle inserted into an elastomer, a compressible structure, and a sleeve, a hollow cylinder, sequentially. The sleeve caps the elastomer while the elastomer presses on the top of the base fixed under the spindle. The ball keeps contact the chute of the spindle and the chute of the sleeve. In addition to all of the above, the elastomer held between the base and the sleeve absorbs the impact when a tool installed on the end of the spindle is shocked against the workpiece during operation process. Since the spindle works smoothly owing to the effect of the elastomer, the operators work more easily, and the damage or destruction of assembly precision, made by the impact, of the parts in the electric tool is avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2003Publication date: May 5, 2005Inventor: Ting-Kuang Chen

Patent number: 6824491Abstract: A power transmission device that is capable of automatic speed switching according to external load is disclosed, including a frame in which a transmission mechanism and a torque feedback mechanism are received. The torque feedback mechanism includes a torque resistant member so that when the load torque is smaller than its resistant torque, the speed reduction mechanism of the transmission mechanism is retained at a first, high-speed low-torque stage. When the load torque is larger than its resistant torque, a sliding ring of the torque feedback mechanism pushes a shifting gear so that the sped reduction mechanism is shifted to a second, low-speed high-torque stage. The speed reduction mechanism automatically shifts the speed reduction mechanism when the load torque increases or reduces so that the mechanical efficiency of the transmission device can be increased.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2003Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: Power Network Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ting-Kuang Chen

Patent number: 6682284Abstract: A nut includes base portion forming an inner threaded bore and a first sun gear. cap forms a second sun gear of which the teeth is different from that of the first sun gear. The cap is rotatably mounted to the base with the first and second sun gears opposing and coaxial with each other. A control ring carries planetary gears engaging both the first and second sun gears. The nut secures a rotatable member of a rotary machine to a threaded driving axle. The nut is initially and loosely tightened on the axle by manually rotating the control ring. The cap has a high friction surface engaging the rotatable member. When the axle starts to rotate, a relative rotation occurs between the rotatable member and the axle which causes the cap to rotate with respect to the base. The rotation of the cap is transmitted to the base by the planetary gears to securely and completely tighten the nut.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2002Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: Power Network Industry Co., LTDInventor: Ting-Kuang Chen

Patent number: 6338404Abstract: A locking device is provided between a gear train and an output shaft of a power hand tool. Pawls are arranged in a central bore of a fixed ring with an outer face thereof opposing an inner circumference of the central bore with a tiny gap therebetween. A coupler drivingly engages the shaft and the retention rings whereby when the coupler is rotated by the gear train, the coupler drives the disk and the pawls simultaneously and thus allowing the shaft to be rotated without constraint. When a user manually rotates the output shaft, the disk is rotated while the pawls are prevented from rotation about the first axis which causes a rotation of each pawl about the second axis leading to an interference between the outer face thereof and the inner circumference of the fixed ring thereby preventing the shaft from being further rotated.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2000Date of Patent: January 15, 2002Assignee: Power Network Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ting-Kuang Chen

Patent number: 6202759Abstract: A switching device for a power tool is provided. It comprises a housing, a rotary collar, an output axle with stepped portion, fixing gear wheel and a movable gear wheel. By the rotation of the rotary collar, the output axle can be retracted into the housing by an axial force to make contact of the movable gear wheel with the fixing gear wheel. Therefore, the switch collar device can adjust the output axle to switch between an position for simple rotation only and a position for rotation with impact. The whole structure of the present invention is more simple and cheaper than that of the conventional tool because it uses less parts.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2000Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: Power Network Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ting-Kuang Chen

Patent number: 6196943Abstract: Electric tool knob control apparatus comprises a compressing spring and a cam controller, which are set consequently on the sleeve of drive shaft base. Compressing spring is set between cam controller and base. On the sleeve, an external gearwheel is installed. Cam controller includes a spur cam-disk and a passive cam-disk. On spur cam-disk and passive cam-disk, a cam-disk flange and a cam-disk recess are circularly arranged and oppositely set up; therefore, cam-disk flange and cam-disk recess may engage to each other. On spur cam-disk, a plurality of planet gearwheel is set pivotally. By covering the outside of cam controller and sleeve with a knob with inward gear set inside diameter, planet gear wheel may engage with inward gear and external gear wheel in the same time. Also, passive cam-disk, which engages with knob, may rotate with knob and move in axial direction of knob. Passive cam-disk and spur cam-disk may be driven to rotate while knob is moved to rotate.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1999Date of Patent: March 6, 2001Assignee: Trinity Metallize Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ting-Kuang Chen
