Definitions

  • Electric hand tool device comprising a motor housing arranged in a motor and a transmission for coupling with a tool, wherein the transmission is mounted in a separate transmission housing.
  • both housings can be made of plastic, or alternatively, a housing can be designed as a metal housing.
  • the motor is fixed in the motor housing and rotatably mounted there at both ends of its motor shaft.
  • so-called compact engines are known in which the stator housing is designed so that the motor shaft can be mounted on this by means of a ball bearing.
  • the motor housing forms a main handle.
  • the vibration here, it is for example from the U.S. Patent 5,027,910 known to arrange a shock absorbing elastomeric material between an inner and an outer housing.
  • the disadvantage here is that especially when the motor housing should be designed as a handle, the size of the motor housing is greatly limited in terms of the scope, so that the electric hand tool can still be used well.
  • a portable power tool housing unit in particular for a hand grinder, which comprises at least two housing elements which are connected to each other with a vibration damping element.
  • the motor housing at the same time represents the handle element, this offers no advantage.
  • the invention is achieved by an electric hand tool, wherein the motor is fixed to the transmission housing and the transmission housing from the motor housing vibration-decoupled, is connected to this.
  • the vibrational decoupling of such a system in which vibrations can occur in more than one spatial dimension, is effected by acting in different directions spring systems.
  • vibrations are generated, which are not only directed in one direction, but stimulate the hand tool in more than one spatial direction to vibrate ,
  • other vibrations are triggered in addition to the vibrations induced by the tool by the engine.
  • a sustainable vibration damping can therefore take place by means of a spring system in which two springs, which can also be combined in a single spring element, represent a coupling oscillator with two resonance frequencies due to their different spring stiffnesses, between which lies a frequency range within which optimal vibration isolation takes place.
  • the width of this frequency range, ie the attenuation and isolation range is according to experience interpreted as that in addition to the exciting fundamental frequency three to five upper frequencies are miterutzt with a significant amplitude for the vibration load.
  • the spring system is interposed between the engine and transmission housing and decouples them.
  • the motor must be decoupled from the motor housing. This is done according to the invention, in that the engine is fixed to the transmission housing. By using, for example, a compact motor beyond the second bearing point can be dispensed with, since the rotor is mounted on the stator. A vibration-isolating bearing between the stator and the housing is not possible due to the inadmissibility of the then necessary vibration paths between the armature and rotor the gears of the drive shafts. Accordingly, only the motor housing can be decoupled against the entire drive train.
  • the spring and damping element in the axial spring direction has a greater spring stiffness, as in oscillating direction.
  • the spring stiffness is often less in a more oscillating or buckling movement, as in an axial compression movement of a spring body.
  • the spring system in the oscillating deflection has a spring characteristic with a resonant frequency which is smaller than the transmitted from the coupling element basic or excitation frequency, in which case the spring system in the axial deflection has a spring characteristic with a resonant frequency as clearly as possible higher than that in the oscillating deflection direction.
  • the spring and damping elements can be equidistantly spaced over the circumference of the electric hand tool device. In particular, three or four spring damping elements can be used.
  • one uses spring elements made of rubber or a rubber-elastic material, so that the spring and damping characteristics can be combined in a single element.
  • the stiffness and damping of rubber springs can be widely varied, both by the geometric shape, and by the properties of the material itself, in particular the rubber hardness can be determined.
  • the spring element is to be equipped in such a way that the required grip stiffness, in particular in the oscillating direction, is maintained. For this reason, the isolation range must be between the two resonance frequencies and not outside both resonance frequencies. Otherwise, the spring would be too soft, resulting in a spongy feeling at work.
  • the spring and damping element is coupled to the motor housing and the gear housing in each case via a screw connection.
  • Such frictional connections can be particularly easy to manufacture and assemble and in particular open easily in case of repair.
  • the motor housing which is designed as a handle, carries one or more additional masses. Due to the influence of the mass, the oscillation frequency is further changed. Thus, the vibration will be the lower, the greater the mass is, with which the spring element cooperates.
  • An increase in mass in the motor housing is possible by the arrangement of other components such as the electronics and the switch elements.
  • the invention is fundamentally to be used in all electric hand tools, etc., and in particular in grinders and drills, as well as rotary hammers and impact drills, but also chisel hammers.
  • the angle grinder is provided in its entirety with reference numeral 10. It comprises a motor housing 12 and a gear housing 14.
  • the motor housing 12 is in this case formed in two parts and comprises a part 12a, in which the motor is arranged, and a part 12b, which carries the electronics.
  • the parts 12a and 12b are rigidly connected to each other and made of plastic.
  • the transmission housing 14 is designed as an aluminum housing.
  • a motor 16 is arranged, which is designed as a compact motor, i. that the rotor 18 is directly connected to the stator 20 via a stator housing 22, in which the rotor 18 is mounted via a ball bearing 24.
  • the compact engine forms a preassembled unit.
  • the motor 16 is determined via a further ball bearing 26 in the gear housing 28 and stored here rotating. An additional attachment of the motor 16 can be done via mounting plates 30 which are fixed by means of a screw on the gear housing 14.
  • the gear housing 14 serves to receive a bevel gear 32 for deflecting the rotational movement, which is indicated by the arrow 34 of the motor shaft 18, in a rotational movement, indicated by the arrow 36, of the tool shaft 38, to which the tool 40 is here attached a grinding wheel.
  • the vibration decoupling is achieved in that at four joints, two of which are shown in the sectional view, spring elements in the form of rubber springs 42 are provided, via a screw 44 on the one hand to the transmission housing 14 and the other via a screw 46 with the Motor housing 12 are connected.
  • the screw 44 also serves to fix the motor 16 on the sheets 30th
  • the rubber springs 42 are designed so that they can absorb both vibrations in the axial direction of the motor shaft 18 and in the two directions perpendicular thereto. In addition, the three rotational degrees of freedom around the individual axes are also covered. In this case, the rubber spring 42 in the axial direction has a higher rigidity than in the oscillating direction, in which it is subjected to a buckling load. Due to the different vibrations that result from the rotation of the motor shaft 18 but also from the rotation of the shaft 38 with the tool 40, different vibrations with different amplitudes occur in different frequency ranges.
  • the spring 42 Due to its spring properties, the spring 42 has resonance points which are chosen such that as many vibrations as possible generated by the tool, in particular those with a high amplitude, come to lie between the two resonance regions and, moreover, the exciting fundamental frequency is also detected.
  • the isolation area is then between the two Exciting resonance frequencies and it can be so by the choice of rubber springs, the isolation area are set so that as many vibrations with the greatest possible amplitude can be absorbed by the rubber spring.
  • the electronics and switches etc. are accommodated in the housing 12b. In this way it can be achieved that the handle consisting of the housing parts 12a and 12b reaches as large a mass as possible, whereby the oscillation frequency can continue to be favorably influenced.
  • the spring elements serve as vibration nodes of the housing and are tuned accordingly. Due to the choice of suitable spring elements with corresponding resonance frequencies, an optimum of vibration isolation with simultaneous grip stiffness and thereby good trackability of a corresponding electric hand tool device can result.
