Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Handwerkzeugmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 (siehe z.B. US-A-5 466 183 ).The invention is based on a hand tool according to the preamble of claim 1 (see, for example US-A-5,466,183 ).

Es sind Handwerkzeugmaschinen, insbesondere Handbohrmaschinen und Bohrhämmer mit Gehäusen in Topfbauweise mit einem am Ende des zylindrischen Gehäuses angeordneten Verschlußdeckel bekannt. Dieser Deckel ist jedoch nur umständlich unter Zuhilfenahme von gesonderten Werkzeugen zu öffnen, wobei er nicht oder nur sehr bedingt als Servicedeckel zum Wechseln der Kohlbürsten geeignet ist. Außerdem ist der bekannte Dekkel nicht gegen Verlieren am Gehäuse sicherbar und es ist auch kein Inspektionsdeckel zum Pflegen und Warten der Netzleitung vorgesehen.There are hand tool machines, in particular hand drills and rotary hammers with casings in Topfbauweise with a arranged at the end of the cylindrical housing cap known. However, this cover is only awkward to open with the help of separate tools, and it is not or only very suitable as a service cover for changing the cabbage brushes. In addition, the known lid is not against loss on the housing securable and there is also no inspection cover for maintaining and maintaining the power line provided.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Die Handwerkzeugmaschine nach dem Anspruch 1 hat den Vorteil, daß eine Gehäuseschale einen Inspektiondeckel aufweist, der leicht zu öffnen ist und mit dem - ohne das Gehäuse vollständig öffnen zu müssen - die Netzleitung bzw. die Kabeltülle bequem und schnell auswechselbar ist.The hand tool according to claim 1 has the advantage that a housing shell has an inspection cover, which is easy to open and with which - without having to open the housing completely - the power line or the cable grommet is easily and quickly replaceable.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment

Figur 1 zeigt eine räumliche Darstellung einer als Bohrhammer ausgestalteten Handwerkzeugmaschine 10 in der Ansicht von links vorn. Die Handwerkzeugmaschine hat ein Gehäuse 12, das aus einer linken und rechten längsgeteilten Gehäuseschale 121, 122 mit einem als Spatengriff ausgestalteten Handgriff 14, der eine Schalttaste 16 enthält, aus der nach unten ein E-Kabel 18 zur Energieversorung des nichtdargestellten, im Inneren eines zum Gehäuse 12 gehörenden Motor-Gehäuse 20 angeordneten Motors austritt. Das Motor-Gehäuse 20 ist einstückig mit den Gehäuseschalen 121, 122 in Motorgehäuseschalen 201, 202 geteilt, die gegenüber einer Längsachse 27 der Handwerkzeugmaschine 10 rechtwinklig abgewinkelt angeordnet sind. Die Längsachse 27 ist durch einen Maschinenhals 22, ein Spannfutter 24 und ein als Bohrer ausgestaltetes Einsatzwerkzeug 26 definiert.FIG. 1 shows a three-dimensional view of a hand-held power tool 10 designed as a hammer drill in the front left view. The hand tool has a housing 12, which consists of a left and right longitudinally split housing shell 121, 122 with a designed as a spade handle handle 14, which includes a switch button 16 from the down an e-cable 18 for the power supply of the not shown, inside a to Housing 12 belonging engine housing 20 arranged engine exits. The motor housing 20 is integrally divided with the housing shells 121, 122 in the motor housing shells 201, 202, which are arranged at right angles to a longitudinal axis 27 of the power tool 10 angled. The longitudinal axis 27 is defined by a machine neck 22, a chuck 24 and an insert tool 26 designed as a drill.

Ebenfalls rechtwinklig nach unten tritt ein Zusatzhandgriff 28 von der Längsachse 27 weg, der am Maschinenhals 22 mittels eines Spannbandes 30 abnehmbar gehaltert ist.Also at right angles down an additional handle 28 steps away from the longitudinal axis 27, which is detachably supported on the machine neck 22 by means of a clamping band 30.

Der Zusatzhandgriff 28 enthält einen oberen Fortsatz 29 mit einer konkaven, der zur Anlage an den Maschinenhals 22 bestimmt ist und dem Zusatzhandgriff 29 einen sicheren Halt am Gehäuse 12 gibt.The auxiliary handle 28 includes an upper extension 29 with a concave, which is intended to bear against the machine neck 22 and the auxiliary handle 29 gives a secure grip on the housing 12.

Beiderseits der konkaven, radialen Abstützfläche 40 bildet der obere Fortsatz 29 - in Betrachtungsrichtung von vorn - zwei Schenkel, von denen nur der größere Tragschenkel 31 näher bezeichnet ist. Darin ist ein als Sechskantstab ausgestalteter Tiefenanschlag 32 drehgesichert längsverschiebbar in einer als Sechskantbohrung ausgestalteten Längsführung 38 gelagert. Der Tiefenanschlag 32 hat an gegenüberliegenden Sechkantflächen ein oberes und ein unteres Zahnprofil 34, 35 mit dem er sich formschlüssig in der Längsführung 38 lösbar festhält.On both sides of the concave, radial support surface 40 of the upper extension 29 - in the direction of view from the front - two legs, of which only the larger support leg 31 is designated in more detail. Therein, a depth stop 32 embodied as a hexagonal rod is mounted longitudinally displaceably in a rotationally secured manner in a longitudinal guide 38 designed as a hexagonal bore. The depth stop 32 has on opposite hexagonal surfaces an upper and a lower tooth profile 34, 35 with which it is releasably retained in the longitudinal guide 38 in a form-fitting manner.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Explosionszeichnung des Gehäuses der Handwerkzeugmaschine 10. Dabei wird deutlich, daß das Gehäuse 12 aus zwei längsgeteilten Gehäuseschalen 121, 122 besteht. Diese werden mittels eines Sprengringes 123 im Frontbereich des Maschinenhalses zusammengehalten.
Am unteren Bereich des Motorgehäuses 20 sitzt ein Klappdeckel 60, der dieses stirnseitig verschließt. Dieser Klappdeckel 60 ist in der linken Gehäuseschale 121 in dem Schraubdom 64 gelenkig gelagert und deckt die untere Hälfte des Motorgehäuses 20 im Bereich der Kohlebürsten ab. Über eine Sicherungsschraube 66 wird der Klappdeckel 60 am Motorgehäuse 20 zur betriebsgemäßen Benutzung befestigt. Die Sicherungsschraube 66 ist unverlierbar mit dem Klappdeckel 1 verbunden.
Figure 2 shows an exploded view of the housing of the power tool 10. It is clear that the housing 12 consists of two longitudinally split housing shells 121, 122. These are held together by means of a snap ring 123 in the front region of the machine neck.
At the bottom of the motor housing 20 sits a hinged lid 60 which closes this frontally. This hinged lid 60 is articulated in the left housing shell 121 in the screw 64 and covers the lower half of the motor housing 20 in the carbon brushes. About a locking screw 66 of the hinged lid 60 is attached to the motor housing 20 for proper use. The locking screw 66 is captively connected to the hinged lid 1.

Durch das Aufschrauben der Sicherungsschraube 66 wird die Verbindung zwischen Motorgehäuse 20 und Klappdeckel 60 gelöst. Der Klappdeckel kann weggeklappt werden ohne komplett vom Gerät entfernt zu werden müssen.By screwing the locking screw 66, the connection between the motor housing 20 and hinged lid 60 is released. The hinged lid can be folded away without having to be completely removed from the device.

Die Sicherungsschraube 66 kann mit einem Schraubendreher oder aber mit einem Schlüssel oder einer Münze gelöst werden. Das Wegklappen des Klappdeckels 60 ermöglicht einen einfachen und bequemen Kohlebürstenwechsel. Das Motorgehäuse 20 umgreift ein gesondertes Hüllgehäuse (Fig. 6), das bei der Montage zwischen die Gehäuseschalen 121, 122 eingelegt wird. Dieses Hüllgehäuses 62 trägt am unteren Ende eine radial nach außen weisende Gewindebohrung 68 zum Eingriff der Sicherungsschraube 66 und außerdem die Kohlbürsten für den Motor.The locking screw 66 can be released with a screwdriver or with a key or a coin. The folding away of the hinged lid 60 allows easy and comfortable brush replacement. The motor housing 20 engages around a separate envelope housing (FIG. 6), which is inserted between the housing shells 121, 122 during assembly. This envelope housing 62 carries at the lower end a radially outwardly facing threaded bore 68 for engagement of the locking screw 66 and also the Kohlbürsten for the engine.

Die rechte Gehäuseschale 122 ist zweiteilig gestaltet. Sie trägt einen kleinen Deckel zur Inspektion der Netzleitung 18. Der Deckel ist mit zwei Schrauben am Gehäuse 12 befestigt. Nach dem Entfernen des Deckels kann das Netzkabel 18 bzw. die Kabeltülle 19 einfach ausgetauscht bzw. ersetzt werden.The right housing shell 122 is designed in two parts. It carries a small cover for inspection of the power line 18. The lid is attached to the housing 12 with two screws. After removing the lid, the power cord 18 and the cable grommet 19 can be easily replaced or replaced.
