This International Application claims priority from a Patent application filed in India having Patent Application No. 202021044509, filed on October 13, 2020, and titled “A DEMOLITION HAMMER”.

FIELD OF INVENTION

Embodiments of a present invention relate to a power, and more particularly to, an auto demolition hammer with reciprocation impact rotation for striking a fastener.

BACKGROUND

An auto hammer is a commonly used hand-held tool, which has various types. According to the power source, the auto hammer can be divided into two types: pneumatic and electric. The pneumatic auto hammer must be equipped with an air compressor as a power supply, thus the use of the pneumatic auto hammer is limited in some occasions. The electric auto hammer comprises a transmission mechanism for converting the rotating motion of a motor into the linear motion of an impact rod arranged in a nozzle. When a switch on the auto hammer is turned on, the electric power energy is converted into the mechanical energy of the reciprocating motion. However, the arrangement of motor and the striker or beat piece may cause complexity in design.

Hence there is a need for an improved demolition hammer to address the aforementioned issues.

In one exemplary embodiment, the nail bit (40) may be coupled to a bottom section of the supporting means (30) in order to hold the nail bit (40) firmly. The demolition hammer (10) also includes a flywheel holder (40) operatively coupled to a second end of the hollow body (20). In one embodiment, the second end of the hollow body (20) may be on a side of the hollow body (20). In one specific embodiment, the flywheel holder (40) may be housed within the hollow body (20) when not in use. In another specific embodiment, the flywheel holder (40) may be brought outwards when the demolition hammer (10) needs to be used. In such embodiments, the operations of the flywheel holder (40) may be carried out using one or more operating means. In such embodiment, the one or more operating means may include hinges, and the like. Further, the flywheel holder (40) is configured to hold a flywheel (50) wherein the flywheel (50) is coupled to the flywheel holder (40) along a direction of the nail bit (40). As used herein, the term “flywheel” is defined as a mechanical device specifically designed to efficiently store rotational energy (kinetic energy), which is proportional to the square of its rotational speed and its mass.

Tire flywheel (50) includes a striker (60) and a balancer (70). The striker (60) and the balancer (70) are coupled to opposite end of the flywheel (50) via a pair of elastic media (80). As used herein, the term “striker” is defined as a tool which is used to apply pressure on the nail bit to enable the functioning of the nail bit. Also, the term “balancer” is defined as a tool which is required to balance equilibrium of the flywheel holder (40). In one exemplary embodiment, the elastic medium (80) may include one of a spring, an elastic connecting wires, a spring, or the like.

Further, the striker (60) is configured to generate impact pressure on the nail bit (40) upon deviating from an original point. In one embodiment, the striker (60) generates the impact on the nail bit (40) in a pre-defined direction. In one such embodiment, the pre-defined direction may be a clockwise direction or an anti-clockwise direction. Also, in one exemplary embodiment, a top of the nail bit (40) comprises a rod head configured to receive the impact pressure from the striker (60). More specifically, the strikers (60) are coupled (diametrically opposite) to a clamp in such a way that when the striker (60) hits the impact rod or the nail bit (40), the striker (60) deviates from the original position to pass over the impact rod. Wherein the clamp is coupled to the center point of the flywheel (50). In one exemplary embodiment, the head of the striker (60) may include a hammer. In such embodiment, the hammer may include a tool holder and a tool bit coupled on the tool holder. The tool holder may be configured to provide to and fro motion to the nail bit.

Further, the balancer (70) is configured to balance the deviation generated by the striker (60) to maintain the flywheel (50) at equilibrium based on force due to tension and compression of the elastic medium (80).

In one exemplary embodiment, the demolition hammer (10) may be powered by a power source (90). In one exemplary embodiment, the power source (90) may include one of a motor, an engine, or the like to experience movement in the pre-defined motion. In such embodiment, the pre-defined motion may be in the pre-defined direction such as the clockwise direction or the anti-clockwise direction.

In one preferred embodiment, the striker (60) and the balancer (70) may be connected to the flywheel (50) via a corresponding plurality of holder bars. Also, in one exemplary embodiment, one or more dimensions of the flywheel (50) can be altered to maintained momentum between the striker (60) and the balancer (70).

Furthermore, in one exemplary embodiment, the demolition hammer (10) may further include one or more hinges (100) (as shown in FIGs. 2 and 3) which may be configured to support the flywheel (50) from both the sides.

In operation, the power source (90) transmitted power to the striker (60), due to which the striker (60) rotates in the clockwise direction or the anti-clock wise direction to impart predefined amount of energy to the nail bit (40), due to which the nail bit (40) exerts pressure on the required area. Further, to bring the striker (60) back to the normal position, the balancer (70) balances the position of the striker (60) via the elastic medium (80). Due to the contraction and rarefaction of the elastic medium (80), the striker (60) and the balancer (70) strives to achieve the equilibrium position again. The whole process is repeated for required number of times.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure enable the demolition hammer to eliminate bulky and expensive components thereby making the entire apparatus less complex, less bulky and thereby less expensive.
