The second gear 320 is located axially of the output shaft in the top half of the length of the output shaft and near the midpoint of the length of the output shaft. So set up, because clamping mechanism 400 is located the bottom half section of output shaft, make second gear 320 be close to clamping mechanism 400 as far as possible, the atress direction of work progress output shaft in second gear 320 department is opposite with clamping mechanism 400 department to reduce the torsion that the output shaft bore between two places, avoid the output shaft to take place torsional deformation.

The expansion part 420 can be extended or shortened along the axial dimension, and during the extension or shortening process, the wedge surface structure contacted between the movable body of the expansion part 420 and the clamping jaw 410 is utilized to realize radial movement of the clamping jaw 410, so as to clamp and release the drill rod 500. The telescopic part 420 is disposed at the outer periphery of the clamping jaw 410, and in order to achieve the above function, in one embodiment, the telescopic part 420 is at least provided with a movable body capable of freely moving along the axial direction, and the spring 440 is disposed between the movable body and the stationary structure of the telescopic part 420. In another embodiment, the telescopic parts 420 at both ends of the spring 440 may be movable.
In one embodiment, the telescopic part 420 includes a top cover 423, a cover 421 and a bottom cover 422, the cover 421 is integrally formed in a sleeve shape, the bottom cover 422 and the top cover 423 are respectively arranged at two ends of the sleeve, so that the telescopic part 420 and the output shaft together form a chamber, the chamber accommodates the clamping jaw 410 and the core cover 424 of the telescopic part 420, and the cover 421, the cover 423, the bottom cover 422, the core cover 424 and the clamping jaw 410 integrally rotate along with the output shaft 310.
In one embodiment, the telescopic part 420 may not be provided with the core cover 424, only the part formed by the top cover 423 and the outer cover 421 moves integrally, the bottom cover 422 is fixed on the output shaft 310 through the connecting piece, the spring 440 is disposed between the top cover 423 and the bottom cover 422, the top cover 423 is formed with a structure extending downwards, and the wedge surface on the structure is used to cooperate with the clamping jaw 410.
In another embodiment, the telescoping portion 420 is provided with a core cap 424, with springs 440 disposed between the bottom caps 422 of the core caps 424, the core cap 424 extending downwardly in a cylindrical configuration within a peripherally disposed spring 440, the cylindrical configuration having a wedge-shaped inner periphery.

The springs 440 are uniformly distributed around the output shaft in the circumferential direction, so that a uniform elastic force is provided for the core cover 424 in the circumferential direction, the core cover 424 is always pressed upwards by the elastic force of the springs 440 in a normal state, the core cover 424 (or the top cover 423) is in the first position, and since the periphery of the clamping jaw 410 is formed with an inclined plane, an elastic component (or no elastic component) for providing a radial outward elastic force is also arranged between the clamping jaw 410 and the output shaft (or no elastic component is provided, and the inclined plane of the clamping jaw 410 can be always pressed on the inner peripheral structure of the core cover 424 by manual operation of an operator). In a conventional state, the core cap 424 pushes the grip jaw 410 to grip the drill rod 500 by the inclined surface, so that there is no fear of loosening the drill rod 500 due to malfunction of the engine or the like. Because the core cover 424 is directly arranged on the outer cover 421, namely the outer cover 421 is directly sleeved on the periphery of the output shaft, the structure is simple, the components are few, excessive vibration and eccentricity can be avoided in the rotation process of the output shaft, the maintenance and the disassembly of the power head are convenient, and the maintenance or the disassembly of the components such as the core cover 424, the spring 440, the clamping jaw 410 and the like can be carried out only by disassembling the main cylinder sleeve.
In another embodiment, the outer circumference of the clamping jaw 410 may also be planar, while the inner circumference of the core cap 424 is beveled, so long as the axial movement of the core cap 424 is translated into radial movement of the clamping jaw 410.

The inner circumference side of the top cover 423 is provided with the neck 4231 extending upwards, the neck 4231 is wrapped on the outer circumference of the output shaft, and the guiding supporting effect between the top cover 423 and the output shaft is increased through the cooperation of the neck 4231 and the outer circumference of the output shaft, so that the moving stability of the top cover 423 is improved. On the other hand, the piston 432 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the neck 4231, so that radial support between the piston 432 and the neck 4231 of the top cover 423 is improved, and overall strength and stability are improved.
In one embodiment, the top of the top cover 423 is further formed with a protruding portion 4232, where the protruding portion 4232 is used to cooperate with the inner side of the cylinder 431 near the first position, so as to improve the moving stability of the top cover 423, and when in the first position, the bottom end of the cylinder 431 just can abut against the top end of the top cover 423, so that the cylinder 431 and the top cover 423 have a supporting relationship in the axial direction and the radial direction.
In one embodiment, the output shaft mechanism 300 further comprises a shaft sleeve for mounting a bearing, the cylinder cover 433 is arranged between the shaft sleeve and the cylinder body 431 at intervals and is respectively abutted against the shaft sleeve and the cylinder body 431, on one hand, manufacturing and mounting errors of the shaft sleeve and the cylinder body 431 are eliminated through the cylinder cover 433, and on the other hand, a sealing ring at the inner periphery of the cylinder cover 433 prevents oil from leaking between the shaft sleeve and the pressure cylinder 430.
The output shaft mechanism 300 further includes a sleeve, which in one embodiment is made separately from the first sleeve 330 and the second sleeve 340, the first sleeve 330 having the first bearing set 331 mounted therein, the second sleeve 340 having the second bearing set 341 mounted therein, and the first sleeve 330 and/or the second sleeve 340 providing a mounting space for the second gear 320 therein. In another embodiment, the sleeve may also be integrally formed.

In one embodiment, the position of the first bearing set 331 and the position of the clamping mechanism 400 are adjusted about the midpoint of the second bearing set 341, respectively, so that the output shaft has a stable balanced operating condition in the axial direction. Specifically, the distance between the second bearing group 341 and the first bearing group 331, and the distance between the first bearing group 331 and the clamping mechanism 400 are set to be 2:3. It should be noted that the position of the bearing set is defined by the midpoint of the axial dimension of the bearing set, and the position of the clamping mechanism 400 is defined by the midpoint of the axial dimension of the clamping jaw 410 in clamping contact with the drill rod 500.
In one embodiment, each ball bearing 230 of the reduction mechanism 200 at least partially overlaps the first bearing set 331 or the second bearing set 341 in the axial direction of the output shaft, and since the reduction sleeve and the sleeve are tightly fitted or integrally formed with each other, the overlapping arrangement between the bearings can make the reduction sleeve and the sleeve mutually offset a part of the load bearing load on the bearings, i.e., increase the defects caused by arranging the reduction structures side by side.
Specifically, since the first gear 210 is meshed with the second gear 320, compared to the coaxial reduction mode, the torque borne by the output shaft is increased, and accordingly, the bending force borne by the output shaft is also increased, and the radial offset is generated during the rotation of the output shaft and thus the wheel axle 220 due to the bending force, which has proved difficult to solve in the existing bearing system. According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the bearings have overlapping areas in the axial direction, and the problem can be solved under the conditions that the number of the bearings is not increased and the strength of the shaft sleeve and the speed reducing sleeve is not changed, so that a new design idea is provided.
