Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand tool, in particular a drill and / or chisel hammer, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a hand tool is from the FR-A-2 412 391 known.
  • Such a hand tool machine is known from practice and designed, for example, as a hammer drill, which has a hammer tube arranged in a machine housing, in which a drive piston designed as a pot piston is guided.
  • the pot piston is coupled via an air cushion with a so-called bat, which in turn is in operative connection with an anvil for driving a arranged in a tool guide element tool, which is designed for example as a drill.
  • a so-called driving toothing is formed, with which the tool is engaged.
  • the hammer drill has an idle position and an operating or impact position.
  • idle position are the tool, the striker and the racket in a so-called front position.
  • the racket is held by a safety gear.
  • the operating position in which the tool is placed, for example, on a surface to be machined, the tool is subjected to an axial pressure, so that the entirety of the tool, the striker and the racket is moved to a so-called rear position and by means of the racket so-called Idle openings of the pot piston are closed.
  • a compressed air cushion builds up between the pot piston and the racket, by means of which movements of the pot piston are transmitted to the racket and thus to the striker and the tool.
  • the tool guide element and the safety gear are fixed to the housing in the known hammer drill in the axial direction, so that a relative movement between the tool guide element and the tool takes place during the transition from the idle to the operating position or from the operating to the idle position.
  • FR-A-2 412 391 is a hammer drill with a machine housing, a tool guide element, a hammer tube and a housing fixed in the axial direction safety gear for a racket, which is driven by a drive piston and is operatively connected to a tool disposed in the tool guide element, known, wherein the tool guide member relative to the machine housing axially is formed displaceable.
  • the tool guide element is formed by a screwed into a spindle tool holder, wherein an anvil is guided within the spindle.
  • the invention relates to a hand tool, in particular a drill and / or chisel, with a machine housing, a tool guide element, a hammer tube and a housing fixed in the axial direction safety gear for a racket, which is driven by a drive piston and arranged with a tool guide element
  • Tool is in operative connection, wherein the tool guide element is formed axially displaceable relative to the machine housing, and wherein the tool guide element is formed integrally with a guide of an anvil, whereby components, space, weight, assembly costs and costs can be saved.
  • the transition from the idle position to the operating position or from the operating position to the idle position can thus be carried out both an axial displacement of the tool and an axial displacement of the tool guide element.
  • the relative movement between the tool and the tool guide element can be kept low.
  • the operational wear in the connection area between these two components is low, which in turn leads to a long life of the components.
  • the tool guide element is rotatably mounted and has a driving teeth for the tool, a large tooth surface between the tool and the tool guide element in the direction of rotation can be realized. This creates a low surface pressure, which in turn has a favorable effect in terms of wear.
  • An inexpensive means for adjusting the idle position of the tool guide element is a compression spring, by means of which the tool guide element is biased in the direction of the tool.
  • the tool guide element is formed integrally with the hammer tube. This leads to a component reduction and thus to a reduced installation effort.
  • the assembly of the tool guide member and the hammer tube is then formed axially displaceable, so that the hammer tube in the transition from the idle position also experiences an axial displacement in the operating position or from the operating position to the idle position.
  • the compression spring can act directly on the hammer tube or on the tool guide element in this embodiment.
  • the safety gear can follow a rotation of the tool guide element or the hammer tube
  • the safety device is advantageously mounted in a housing-fixed guide ring.
  • the catching device is so particularly when the tool guide element and the hammer tube are integrally formed axially fixed to the housing without a rotation of the hammer tube would be affected.
  • a structurally simple solution for guiding the safety gear in the guide ring is a catch device associated with the pin, which engages in the guide ring. To entrain the pin during a rotation of the hammer tube, this advantageously extends through an elongated hole of the hammer tube, which extends in the axial direction.
  • the safety device may be attached to the hammer tube, which is connected to the machine housing.
  • the hammer tube and the safety gear are fixed to the housing in the axial direction.
  • the tool guide element is individually exchangeable in case of wear.
  • the drive piston is advantageous designed as a pot piston. This is particularly advantageous for heavy drilling and / or chipping hammers. But it is also conceivable to form the drive piston as a cylinder piston.
  • the safety gear can protrude into the pot piston.
  • the safety gear is used in this case as a stop for the racket during its displacement in the pot piston.
  • a hammer drill 10 is shown schematically, which is driven by means of an electric motor, not shown, and has a so-called Topfkolbenschlagwerk.
  • Fig. 1 is the hammer drill 10 in the operating position, ie in impact position, and in Fig. 2 the hammer drill 10 is shown in idle position.
  • the hammer drill 10 comprises a machine housing 12, in which a hammer tube 14 is mounted axially movable and rotatable, which is integrally formed with a tool guide member 16.
  • the hammer tube 14 is supported in the front area via a sliding bearing 48 in the housing 12.
  • the hammer tube 14 and thus the tool guide element 16 are rotatably mounted in the machine housing 12.
  • a pot piston 22, a racket 24 and an anvil 26 are guided in a conventional manner.
  • the striker 26 serves to impulse transmission to the tool 20.
  • the axial movement of the striker 26 is limited by means of a voltage applied to a bearing 28 O-ring 30 made of rubber, which for driving the hammer tube 14 at axially in the direction of the pot piston 22 on the tool 20th exerted pressure, so that the tool 20 of the striker 26 and the striker 26th the hammer tube 14 or the tool guide element 16 is displaced in the direction of the pot piston 22 via the O-ring 30 and the support 28.
