Definitions
- the invention is based on a handheld power tool according to the preamble of claim 1.
- An uncontrollable blocking situation of a hand tool occurs when the insert tool jams in the workpiece to be machined, the reaction torque acting on the housing exceeds a holding force of an operator, and the housing rotates uncontrollably at a certain angular velocity and over a certain angular range about an axis. If the holding force of the operator is greater than the reaction torque present, or if the operator holds the handheld power tool in place during a blockage, there is a so-called controllable blockage case.
- a hand-held power tool with an electric motor arranged in a housing is known from the published patent application DE 37 07 052 A1, via which an insert tool arranged in a tool holder can be driven in rotation.
- the handheld power tool has a protective device with which a so-called uncontrollable blocking case of the insert tool can be detected via a sensor.
- the rotary drive is interrupted in that a clutch arranged in the drive train is automatically disengaged depending on an overload size, with the result that the movement of the housing can be blocked.
- the clutch can be mechanically immediately re-engaged by manually pushing in an engagement adjuster by the engagement divider compressing a clutch release spring with a lever.
- the invention relates to a hand-held power tool with an electric motor arranged in a housing, by means of which an insert tool arranged in a tool holder can be driven in rotation, and with a protective device with which a sensor unit identifies an uncontrollable blocking situation of the insert tool and the movement of the housing can be blocked, the protective device comprising a mechanical unlocking unit which can be operated manually by an operating force of an operator.
- a transmission can be actuated via an on / off means for actuating the unlocking unit.
- the unlocking unit can thus be reliably released when the electric motor is switched on.
- the operator's operating force unlocks the protective device.
- the unlocking unit therefore requires no complex electronic components and is particularly fail-safe. Mechanical components are also inexpensive and do not require any electrical power.
- the protective device can be triggered in an uncontrollable blocking situation and can be reset and reactivated without any special effort when the handheld power tool is switched on again.
- the function of the protective device is considerably simplified compared to electrical or electronic systems.
- the mechanically operated unlocking unit can be combined with mechanical, electrical and electronic variants of sensor units and / or blocking units of a protective device.
- the gear can preferably be designed as a cam gear.
- a lever gear can also be provided or another gear that appears useful to the person skilled in the art.
- the on / off switch is particularly preferably designed as a pawl which is operated by the operator to switch the handheld power tool on and off.
- the on / off means can also be integrated into the handheld power tool in such a way that it is triggered when the tool or handheld power tool is pressed against a processing surface.
- the unlocking unit When the electric motor is switched on again, the unlocking unit is preferably actuated automatically via the on / off switch.
- the protective device can then be reactivated without further action by the operator and is immediately ready for operation. It is ensured that the electric motor only starts when the unlocking unit is released and the protective device is ready for use again.
- the protection device of the hand power tool is easy to use. If the protective device comprises a mechanical sensor unit, the system is further simplified and the susceptibility to faults is reduced.
- the sensor unit preferably has a return spring which, when the hand-held power tool is switched on again, automatically activates the sensor unit even after a blockage and makes it ready for operation.
- the protective device comprises an electrical sensor unit. This enables the use of intelligent sensors in a mixed mechanical-electrical system with a purely mechanical so-called reset and an electrical sensor unit.
- the protective device comprises a mechanical blocking unit
- a purely mechanical protective device can be represented that works very reliably and enables great operational reliability.
- the blocking unit preferably has a rotatably mounted latching lever with a toothing provided for engagement in a blocking toothing at one end and an extension at the opposite end.
- the blocking toothing can block rotation of the housing in the uncontrollable blocking case.
- the protective device comprises an electrical blocking unit. This enables the construction of a mixed mechanical-electrical system with a purely mechanical so-called reset and an electrical blocking unit.
- the unlocking unit has a switching rod, one end of which is connected to an on / off switch and the other end of which is operatively connected to the blocking unit, the blocking unit can be actuated via the unlocking unit.
- the shift rod is preferably mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable along the axis of rotation. A movement of the on / off switch in the longitudinal direction can thus be used to actuate the shift rod.
- the switching rod has a switching lug and a switching cam, with which a movement in the longitudinal direction triggered by actuation of the on / off switching means can be converted into an up-down movement with a first upper position and a second lower position. With the up-down movement, the shift rod can assume at least two different operating states for a blocking situation and for unlocking the protective device.
- the shift rod engages at one end with an actuating pin on the on / off means and at the other end with a connecting part in the extension of the locking lever.
- the locking lever can be actuated by actuating the on / off means.
- the shift rod When the electric motor is switched off and the on / off switch is released, the shift rod is preferably in the upper position. The shift rod thus assumes a neutral position, which has no effect on the hand machine tool. If a blocking event occurs, this can also be maintained when the on / off switch is released and when the electric motor is switched off.
- the switching rod can be moved into the lower position and the locking lever can be removed from the locking teeth when the on / off means is actuated, the locking teeth are unlocked and the protective device is reactivated when the electric motor is switched on again without the operator having to do anything.
- the protective device In a first movement of the on / off means, the protective device is preferably reset and activated, and when the movement continues, the electric motor is then switched on electrically. This ensures that the electric motor only runs when the protective device is activated. If a torque flow can be interrupted by a clutch to block the movement of the housing, this prevents movement of the housing.
- the clutch can be a mechanically or electrically operated clutch.
- the electric motor and / or electrical components can be switched off in the event of a blockage, energy can be saved.
- the electric motor is already switched off and the operator can quickly put the hand tool back into operation. If the electric motor is switched off and an electrical clutch is opened to interrupt the torque flow in the event of a blockage, it can be ensured that the housing remains blocked in its movement.
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a preferred hand-held power tool
- FIG. 2 schematically shows a preferred protective device with a mechanical sensor unit, mechanical blocking unit and mechanical unlocking unit in section
- 4 shows a detail of the shift rod. Description of the embodiment
- FIG. 1 shows a handheld power tool with an electric motor (not shown) arranged in a housing 10.
- the electric motor rotates an insert tool 12 arranged in a tool holder 16.
- a protective device 54 can be unlocked with an on / off switch 20 designed as a pawl of an on-off switch in a handle 18 of the hand power tool. If an uncontrollable blocking occurs, there is a risk that the housing 10 will rotate about an axis of rotation 14.
- an uncontrollable blocking of the insert tool 12 can be recognized via a sensor unit 22 and the housing 10 can be blocked in its movement; the electric motor is preferably switched off.
- a preferred protective device 54 is shown in FIG. 2.
- a mechanical sensor unit 22 is operatively connected to a mechanical blocking unit 52.
- a particularly preferred blocking unit 52 and the sensor unit 22 are described in the published patent application DE 43 00 021, the disclosure of which is expressly included by reference. If the sensor unit 22 detects an uncontrollable blocking situation, the sensor unit 22 triggers and activates a blocking unit 52.
- the blocking unit 52 comprises a spring-loaded and rotatably mounted latching lever 28 which has blocking teeth 26 at one end. The detent lever 28 can perform an up-down movement due to the rotatable mounting.
- a lateral support (not shown) can be provided in order to prevent the locking lever 28 from deflecting laterally.
- the locking lever 28 is in contact with the sensor unit 22 between the locking teeth 26 and the bearing.
- the locking lever 28 is provided with an extension 30 into which an unlocking unit 50 engages.
- the unlocking unit 50 comprises a switch rod 34, which is attached at one end facing away from the extension 30 with an actuating pin 38 to the on / off switch 20 designed as a pawl and is longitudinally displaceable along the axis of rotation 14 (FIG. 1) is stored.
- the shift rod 34 engages with a connecting part 32 in the extension 30 and through an opening in the extension 30.
- a switching lug 36 and a switching cam 40 are provided in the switching rod 34, with which a longitudinal movement into an up-down movement with a first upper position and a second lower position triggered by actuation of the on / off switching means 20 designed as a switching pawl is feasible.
- the switching lug 36 and the switching cam 40 are shown in detail in FIG. 4.
- the shift rod 34 is moved in the longitudinal direction by an on-off movement of the on / off means 20 designed as a pawl. The resulting up-down movement actuates a so-called reset of the protective device.
- the sensor unit 22 is shown in FIG. 3 in a detailed view.
- the principle of operation is described in DE 43 00 021 AI, the content of which is included by reference.
- the blocking unit 52 rests with the detent pawl 46 attached to the detent lever 28 on the circumference of a disk 42 and can engage with it in a recess 56.
- the distance between the locking lever 28 and the washer 42 differs depending on whether the locking pawl 46 rests on the circumference or in the recess 56.
- the lateral bracket 48 prevents lateral evasion. In the position shown, the distance is large and the locking lever 28 is pressed up by the locking pawl 46. If the disk 42 rotates to the left when a blocking situation is detected, the latching pawl 46 engages in the recess 56 in the disk 42. The locking lever 28 moves downward, and the locking toothing 26 is activated.
- the protective device 54 is reset and activated as follows: If an uncontrollable blocking situation has occurred and the on / off means 20, which is designed as a pawl, is still pressed by the operator, but the electric motor has already been switched off and the operator tries to switch the handheld power tool on again, he must First release the on / off switch 20, which is designed as a pawl. The thus initiated upward movement of the shift rod 34 into the upper position has no effect. The operator now takes the handheld power tool in his hands and switches it on Hand machine tool. When the switch-on movement begins, the switch rod 34 is pressed down by the switch cam 40 and the toothing of the locking lever 28 is lifted out of the blocking toothing 26.
- the return spring 24 brings the sensor unit 22 back into the starting position, and the protective device 54 is ready for operation again.
- the electric motor is switched on by the further switch-on movement of the on / off switch 20 designed as a pawl, and the work process of the hand power tool is continued. If an uncontrollable blocking situation occurs immediately thereafter, the protective device 54 can react again immediately.
- a preferred handheld power tool is in particular a hammer drill or an impact drill.
- the protective device 54 is, however, also suitable for other power tools with rotating tools that can be driven, for example angle and eccentric grinders, circular saws, chainsaws and the like.
