[ examples ] A method for producing a compound
An embodiment of a hedge trimmer 10 is described with reference to the drawings. The hedge trimmer 10 is a power tool for gardening, and is mainly applied to trimming hedges. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the hedge trimmer 10 includes a main body 12, a blade unit 14 mounted to the main body 12, and a debris reservoir 16 mounted to the blade unit 14. Further, although the debris storage 16 of the present embodiment is directly attached to the blade unit 14, the debris storage 16 may be indirectly attached to the blade unit 14 by being attached to the main body 12, for example, as another embodiment.
The blade unit 14 extends linearly from the main body 12 toward the front. The blade unit 14 has a pair of shearing blades 32, 34 including an upper blade 32 and a lower blade 34. The upper blade 32 has a plurality of tips 32a at both sides of the blade unit 14. The plurality of cutting edges 32a are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the blade unit 14. The lower blade 34 also has a plurality of knifepoints 34a on both sides of the blade unit 14. In the lower blade 34, too, a plurality of cutting edges 34a are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the blade unit 14. The pair of shearing blades 32, 34 are disposed between an upper guide plate 36 and a lower guide plate 38, and are held so as to be capable of reciprocating in the longitudinal direction of the blade unit 14.
The main body 12 has a housing 20, a motor 22 housed within the housing 20, and a crank mechanism 24 for connecting the motor 22 to the blade unit 14. The housing 20 is provided with a handle 26 to be held by a user. A trigger 28 is provided on the handle 26 to be operated by the user. When the user operates the trigger 28, the motor 22 is driven to rotate, and when the user releases the operation of the trigger 28, the rotational driving of the motor 22 is stopped. The trigger 28 is an example of an operation member that can be operated by the user, and may be changed to another type of operation member. The rotational motion output from the motor 22 is transmitted to the blade unit 14 via the crank mechanism 24, and is converted into reciprocating motion of the pair of shearing blades 32, 34 in the crank mechanism 24.
The hedge trimmer 10 of the present embodiment is a wired electric power tool connected to a commercial power supply, but as another embodiment, the hedge trimmer 10 may be a wireless electric power tool using a battery pack as a power supply. Alternatively, in the hedge trimmer 10, an engine for driving the blade unit 14 may be provided instead of or in addition to the motor 22. The configuration of the present embodiment described above is an example of other configurations, and can be appropriately modified.
the debris reservoir 16 is further described with reference to fig. 3, 4. The debris reservoir 16 is one of the representative accessories of the hedge trimmer 10 that is used to receive the foliage that is cut by the blade unit 14. The debris reservoir 16 generally has a base 40 and a receptacle 50. The base 40 is attached to the blade unit 14 and disposed on the blade unit 14. The receiving portion 50 is disposed on one side of the blade unit 14, and receives branches and leaves cut by the blade unit 14. The base 40 and the receiving portion 50 are not particularly limited, and are each formed of resin.
the detailed structure of the receiving portion 50 is not particularly limited. As an example, the receiving portion 50 of the present embodiment has a bottom wall 50a and a side wall 50b provided at a peripheral edge of the bottom wall 50 a. The bottom wall 50a is curved in a concave shape. In order to prevent branches and leaves from falling, a plurality of projections and partition walls are provided on the bottom wall 50 a. The side wall 50b extends continuously from the bottom wall 50 a. In order to prevent branches and leaves from falling, a plurality of concave-convex portions are provided at the upper edge of the side wall 50 b.
The receiving portion 50 is coupled to the base portion 40 via a shaft 60. More specifically, the base 40 is provided with a cylindrical portion 44 for receiving the shaft 60, and the receiving portion 50 is provided with a cylindrical portion 54 for receiving the shaft 60, which constitutes a hinge mechanism together with the shaft 60. The receiving portion 50 is connected to the base portion 40 by the hinge mechanism so as to be rotatable with respect to the base portion 40. The axis of the hinge mechanism (i.e., the longitudinal axis of the shaft 60) is substantially parallel to the length direction of the blade unit 14. The term "substantially parallel" as used herein means that the angle formed by the two is 10 degrees or less (including zero). The structure of the hinge mechanism is not limited to the structure exemplified in the present specification, and the receiving portion 50 may be connected to the base portion 40 so as to be rotatable with respect to the base portion 40.
It is preferred that the hinge construction of the debris reservoir 16 allow the receptacle 50 to rotate relative to the base 40 through an angle of at least 45 degrees. Alternatively, it is preferred that the hinge construction allow the receptor 50 to rotate relative to the base 40 through an angular range of at least 90 degrees. As an example, in the debris storage 16 of the present embodiment, the receiving portion 50 is rotatable between the 1 st angular position shown in fig. 5 and the 2 nd angular position shown in fig. 6. Here, the angle formed by the 1 st and 2 nd angular positions is 90 degrees. At the 1 st angular position, the receiving portion 50 is disposed substantially parallel to the reference plane on which the cutting edges 32a, 34a of the blade unit 14 are arranged. At the 2 nd angular position, the receiving portion 50 is arranged substantially perpendicular to the reference plane.
in the present embodiment of the debris reservoir 16, the receptacle 50 is rotatable relative to the blade unit 14. With this configuration, the angle of the receiving portion 50 can be adjusted according to the direction in which the hedge trimmer 10 is used. For example, the receiving portion 50 can be set to a posture of falling down (for example, the 1 st angle position shown in fig. 5) when trimming the upper surface of the hedge, and the receiving portion 50 can be set to a posture of rising (for example, the 2 nd angle position shown in fig. 6) when trimming the side surface of the hedge. Thus, even when the user uses the hedge trimmer 10 in various directions, the cut branches and leaves can be received by the debris storage 16 by adjusting the angle of the receiving portion 50.
The debris reservoir 16 of the present embodiment has a 1 st securing mechanism 46, 56 and a 2 nd securing mechanism 48, 58. The 1 st fixing mechanisms 46, 56 are for fixing the angle of the receptacle 50 relative to the base 40 when the receptacle 50 is in the 1 st angular position shown in fig. 5. Here, fixing the angle of the receiving portion 50 means prohibiting at least the receiving portion 50 from rotating due to its own weight. The specific structure of the 1 st fixing mechanism 46, 56 is not particularly limited. As an example, the 1 st fixing mechanisms 46 and 56 of the present embodiment have the claw portion 46 provided on the base portion 40 and the claw portion 56 provided on the receiving portion 50. When the receiving portion 50 is at the 1 st angular position (see fig. 5), the claw portions 46 and 56 are engaged with each other to fix the angle of the receiving portion 50 with respect to the base portion 40.
The 2 nd fixing mechanisms 48, 58 serve to fix the angle of the receptacle 50 relative to the base 40 when the receptacle 50 is in the 2 nd angular position shown in fig. 6. The specific structure of the 2 nd fixing mechanisms 48 and 58 is not particularly limited. As an example, the 2 nd fixing mechanisms 48 and 58 of the present embodiment have the claw portion 48 provided on the base portion 40 and the claw portion 58 provided on the receiving portion 50. When the receiving portion 50 is at the 2 nd angular position (see fig. 6), the claw portions 48 and 58 are engaged with each other to fix the angle of the receiving portion 50 with respect to the base portion 40. In another embodiment, at least one of the 1 st fixing mechanisms 46 and 56 and the 2 nd fixing mechanisms 48 and 58 may have a structure such as a screw connection. Alternatively, the debris reservoir 16 may have a fixing mechanism that fixes the angle of the receptacle 50 relative to the base 40 at three or more angular positions.
Next, the structure of the base 40 will be described with reference to fig. 3, 4, 7, and 8. The base 40 has a grip 42. The clamp portion 42 clamps the upper guide plate 36 of the blade unit 14, and engages with the upper guide plate 36 from both sides. The clamp portion 42 has a deformable structure, and a user can release the engagement between the clamp portion 42 and the upper guide plate 36 by gripping the clamp portion 42. Thus, the debris storage 16 is detachably mounted to the blade unit 14. The user can easily remove the debris reservoir 16 from the blade unit 14, for example, without the need for the debris reservoir 16.
Further, the base 40 of the debris reservoir 16 is mountable to the blade unit 14 in a 1 st position shown in fig. 7 and a 2 nd position shown in fig. 8, respectively. As shown in fig. 7, when the base 40 is mounted in the 1 st posture, the receiving portion 50 is located on the side of the blade unit 14. As shown in fig. 8, when the base 40 is mounted in the 2 nd posture, the receiving portion 50 is positioned on the other side of the blade unit 14. With this configuration, the user can dispose the receiving portion 50 on the other side of the blade unit 14 when using the cutting edges 32a, 34a positioned on one side of the blade unit 14, and dispose the receiving portion 50 on the one side of the blade unit 14 when using the cutting edges 32a, 34a positioned on the other side of the blade unit 14.
In the debris storage 16 of the present embodiment, the receiving portion 50 is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the base portion 40 without using a tool, for example. With such a configuration, for example, when the receiving unit 50 is damaged, it can be easily replaced with a new receiving unit 50. Alternatively, when the receiving portion 50 is not necessary, the hedge trimmer 10 can be used with the receiving portion 50 removed.
while specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, these are merely examples and do not limit the scope of the claims. The techniques described in the claims include various modifications and changes made to the specific examples illustrated above. The technical elements described in the present specification or the drawings can be used alone or in various combinations to achieve technical usability.
