  • the handgrip 109 is integrally formed with the outer housing 103, so that the driving motor 111 is substantially integrated with the handgrip 109.
  • the power transmitting mechanism 117 appropriately reduces the speed of torque of the driving motor 111 and transmits it to the motion converting mechanism 113, and the motion converting mechanism 113 appropriately converts torque of the driving motor 111 into linear motion and then transmits it to the striking mechanism 115. Then, an impact force is generated in the axial direction of the hammer bit 119 (the horizontal direction as viewed in FIG. 1 ) via the striking mechanism 115.
  • the motion converting mechanism 113 is a feature that corresponds to the "impact driving part".
  • the speed of torque of the driving motor 111 is appropriately reduced by the power transmitting mechanism 117 and transmitted to the hammer bit 119 via a cylinder 131 and the tool holder 137, so that the hammer bit 119 is caused to rotate in its circumferential direction.
  • the driving motor 111 is driven when a user depresses a trigger 109a disposed on the handgrip 109.
  • the motion converting mechanism 113 mainly includes a crank shaft 121 that is rotationally driven in a horizontal plane via the power transmitting mechanism 117 for transmitting torque of the driving motor 111, a crank plate 123 that is caused to rotate together with the crank shaft 121, a crank arm 127 that is loosely connected to the crank plate 123 via an eccentric shaft 125, and a driving element in the form of a piston 129 which is mounted to the crank arm 127 via a connecting shaft 128.
  • the piston 129 is slidably disposed within the cylinder 131. When the driving motor 111 is driven, the piston 129 is caused to linearly move in the axial direction of the hammer bit 119 within the cylinder 131.
  • the striking mechanism 115 mainly includes a striking element in the form of a striker 133 slidably disposed within the bore of the cylinder 131, and an intermediate element in the form of an impact bolt 135 that is slidably disposed within the tool holder 137 and serves to transmit kinetic energy of the striker 133 to the hammer bit 119.
  • An air chamber 131a is formed between the piston 129 and the striker 133 in the cylinder 131.
  • the striker 133 is driven via pressure fluctuations (air spring action) of the air chamber 131a by sliding movement of the piston 129.
  • the striker 133 then collides with (strikes) the impact bolt 135 which is slidably disposed in the tool holder 137. As a result, a striking force caused by the collision is transmitted to the hammer bit 119 via the impact bolt 135.
  • the power transmitting mechanism 117 mainly includes a driving gear 141, a torque limiter 143, an intermediate shaft 145, a first bevel gear 147, a second bevel gear 149, a rotary sleeve 151, a third bevel gear 153 and a fourth bevel gear 155.
  • the first bevel gear 147, the second bevel gear 149, the rotary sleeve 151, the third bevel gear 153 and the fourth bevel gear 155 of the power transmitting mechanism 117 are housed within the crank housing 105, and the other members of the power transmitting mechanism 117 are housed within the gear housing 107.
  • Torque of the driving motor 111 is transmitted from the driving gear 141 formed on the output shaft 112 of the driving motor 111 to the intermediate shaft 145 via the torque limiter 143.
  • the torque limiter 143 is provided on the intermediate shaft 145 as a safety device which interrupts power transmission from the driving gear 141 to the intermediate shaft 145 when an excessive load exceeding a set value predetermined by a spring 143a of the torque limiter 143 is exerted on the hammer bit 119.
  • the torque transmitted to the intermediate shaft 145 is then transmitted from the first bevel gear 147 that rotates together with the intermediate shaft 145 in a horizontal plane, to the second bevel gear 149 that rotates in a vertical plane in engagement with the first bevel gear 147, and then further transmitted from the second bevel gear 149 to the rotary sleeve 151.
  • the rotary sleeve 151 is a cylindrical member which is coaxially disposed on the outside of the cylinder 131 and can move in the longitudinal direction with respect to the cylinder 131, the second bevel gear 149 that is disposed on the outside of a front end portion of the rotary sleeve 151, and the third bevel gear 153 that is disposed on the outside of a rear end portion of the rotary sleeve 151.
  • the rotary sleeve 151 is splined to the second bevel gear 149 on its front end portion in the longitudinal direction, and also splined to the third bevel gear 153 on its rear end portion in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, when the driving motor 111 is driven, the three members, or the second bevel gear 149, the rotary sleeve 151 and the third bevel gear 153 are always caused to rotate together.
  • the third bevel gear 153 is engaged with the fourth bevel gear 155 fixed on the crank shaft 121. Therefore, torque of the rotary sleeve 151 is transmitted from the third bevel gear 153 that rotates in a vertical plane together with the rotary sleeve 151, to the crank shaft 121 via the fourth bevel gear 155, so that the crank shaft 121 rotates in a horizontal plane. Thus, the motion converting mechanism 113 and the striking mechanism 115 are driven.
  • the rotary sleeve 151 and the fourth bevel gear 155 are features that correspond to the "torque transmitting member" and the "gear", respectively.
  • the third bevel gear 153 is rotatably supported by a sliding bearing 169 which is housed within a bearing cover 163, and the crank shaft 121 is rotatably supported by a rolling bearing 167 which is housed within the bearing cover 163.
  • clutch teeth 151 a are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the rotary sleeve 151 and engage with clutch teeth 131b formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 131. Therefore, torque of the rotary sleeve 151 is transmitted to the cylinder 131 via the clutch teeth 151a, 131b and then to the hammer bit 119 via the tool holder 137 which is connected to the cylinder 131 by a connecting pin 132, so that the hammer bit 119 is caused to rotate.
  • An operation mode switching member in the form of an operation mode switching dial 175 is disposed in an upper surface region of the crank housing 105 and can be manually operated by a user.
  • the operation mode switching dial 175 can be switched between hammer mode in which the hammer bit 119 is caused to perform at least a hammering operation only by striking movement and hammer drill mode in which the hammer bit 119 is caused to perform a hammer drill operation by striking movement and rotation.
  • the operation mode switching dial 175 By switching the operation mode switching dial 175, the rotary sleeve 151 is slid in the axial direction of the hammer bit 119.
  • the operation mode switching dial 175 is mounted to be rotatable around a vertical axis transverse to the axis of the hammer bit 119.
  • the operation mode switching dial 175 has an eccentric shaft part 175a which is engaged with a circumferentially extending ring groove 151b formed in the outer surface of the rotary sleeve 151.
  • the operation mode switching dial 175 When the user turns the operation mode switching dial 175, the rotary sleeve 151 is slid along the cylinder 131 in the axial direction of the hammer bit 119 via the eccentric shaft part 175a.
  • the rotary sleeve 151 When the operation mode switching dial 175 is switched to hammer drill mode, the rotary sleeve 151 is slid rearward (toward the handgrip 109) and the clutch teeth 151a of the rotary sleeve 151 engage with the clutch teeth 131b of the cylinder 131 so that the torque is transmitted to the cylinder 131. Therefore, in this case, the motion converting mechanism 113 and the striking mechanism 115 are driven, and the torque of the rotary sleeve 151 is transmitted to the cylinder 131 and then transmitted to the hammer bit 119 via the tool holder 137 which is connected to the cylinder 131 by the connecting pin 132. Thus, the hammer bit 119 is caused to perform striking movement and rotation.
  • the rotary sleeve 151 When the operation mode switching dial 175 is switched to hammer mode, the rotary sleeve 151 is slid forward (toward the hammer bit 119) and the clutch teeth 151a of the rotary sleeve 151 are disengaged from the clutch teeth 131b of the cylinder 131 so that the torque is no longer transmitted to the cylinder 131. Therefore, in this case, the hammer bit 119 is caused to perform only striking movement via the motion converting mechanism 113 and the striking mechanism 115.
  • the rotary sleeve 151 not only serves to transmit (distribute) the torque of the driving motor 111 as a rotational driving power to each of the motion converting mechanism 113 and the hammer bit 119, but also serves as a clutch member for switching the operation mode.
  • the tool holder 137 disposed in a front region of the crank housing 105 is mounted such that it can move in the axial direction of the hammer bit 119 and rotate in the circumferential direction with respect to the crank housing 105 via a front sliding bearing 161.
  • the bearing cover 163 disposed in a rear region of the crank housing 105 is mounted such that it can move in the axial direction with respect to the crank housing 105 via a rear sliding bearing 165.
  • a rear end surface of the bearing cover 163 in the axial direction of the hammer bit is elastically connected to a front surface of a rear end part of the crank housing 105 via a compression coil spring 171 which contracts and extends in the axial direction of the hammer bit.
  • the compression coil spring 171 is a feature that corresponds to the "elastic element”.
  • the compression coil spring 171 applies a biasing force in such a manner as to push the bearing cover 163 forward.
  • This biasing force is received by a rubber ring 173 which is disposed between a rear end flange 137a of the tool holder 137 and an inner stepped part 106a of the barrel 106.
  • crank housing 105 is integrated with the outer housing 103.
  • the outer housing 103 integrally formed with the handgrip 109 is elastically connected via the compression coil spring 171 to the motion converting mechanism 113 and the striking mechanism 115 (which may also be hereinafter referred to as a striking mechanism part including both of the motion converting mechanism 113 and the striking mechanism 115) which are sources of vibration.
  • the torque of the driving motor 111 is transmitted from the rotary sleeve 151 of the power transmitting mechanism 117 to the motion converting mechanism 113 via the third and fourth bevel gears 153, 155. Then the piston 129 is caused to linearly slide within the cylinder 131 via the motion converting mechanism 113.
  • the striker 133 is caused to linearly move within the cylinder 131 via air pressure fluctuations or air spring action in the air chamber 131a of the cylinder 131.
  • the striker 133 then collides with the impact bolt 135, so that the kinetic energy caused by this collision is transmitted to the hammer bit 119.
  • the rotary sleeve 151 is slid forward and the clutch teeth 151a of the rotary sleeve 151 are disengaged from the clutch teeth 131b of the cylinder 131 so that the torque is no longer transmitted to the cylinder 131. Therefore, the hammer bit 119 performs a hammering operation only by striking movement in its axial direction.
  • the rotary sleeve 151 is slid rearward and the clutch teeth 151a of the rotary sleeve 151 are engaged with the clutch teeth 131b of the cylinder 131 so that the torque of the driving motor 111 is transmitted to the cylinder 131 via the rotary sleeve 151. Therefore, the cylinder 131 and the tool holder 137 are rotationally driven in a vertical plane and the hammer bit 119 is caused to rotate together with the tool holder 137.
  • the hammer bit 119 performs a hammer drill operation (drilling operation) on a workpiece (concrete) by striking movement in the axial direction and rotation in the circumferential direction.
  • FIG. 2 shows the state in which the compression coil spring 171 is deformed.
  • the driving motor 111 is fixed to the outer housing 103.
  • the mass of the handgrip 109 which is integrated with the outer housing 103 can be made relatively large with respect to the motion converting mechanism 113 and the striking mechanism 115 which causes the hammer bit 119 to perform striking movement, so that the effect of vibration-proofing the handgrip 109 can be enhanced.
  • the inner housing including the crank housing 105 and the gear housing 107 and most of the components or elements of the power transmitting mechanism 117 housed within the crank housing 105 and the gear housing 107 are fixed or disposed on the outer housing 103 side. Therefore, the mass of the outer housing 103 side is further increased by these members as well as the driving motor 111, so that the effect of vibration-proofing the handgrip 109 can be further enhanced.
  • the rotary sleeve 151 is connected such that it can move in the axial direction with respect to the cylinder 131 and the third bevel gear 153 and rotate together with the cylinder 131 and the third bevel gear 153. Therefore, the rotary sleeve 151 can transmit torque of the second bevel gear 149 to the cylinder 131 and the third bevel gear 153 without being affected by vibration caused in the axial direction of the hammer bit.
  • the torque of the driving motor 111 is distributed by the rotary sleeve 151 to a path for striking power of striking the hammer bit 119 and a path for rotating power of rotating the hammer bit 119. Therefore, components relating to power transmission between the rotary sleeve 151 and the driving gear 141, including the rotary sleeve 151, are used in common to the both paths. Thus, the number of parts for driving the hammer bit 119 can be rationally reduced.

  • the hammer bit 219 can be prevented from uselessly moving in a direction transverse to the axial direction of the hammer bit with respect to the outer housing 103, so that operation can be performed in stable condition.
  • an output shaft 212 of the driving motor 211 extends into the inner housing 205 and a driving gear 241 is formed on the extending end of the output shaft 212, so that the motion converting mechanism 213 is driven by a driven gear 242 which is engaged with the driving gear 241.
  • the driven gear 242 is a feature that corresponds to the "gear”.
  • a crank shaft 221 to which the driven gear 242 is fixed, a crank plate 223, an eccentric shaft 225 and a crank arm 227 of the motion converting mechanism 213 are shown.
  • a torque limiter 243, an intermediate shaft 245 and a first bevel gear 247 of the power transmitting mechanism 217 are shown.
  • the torque limiter 243 is driven by the driven gear 242, and torque is transmitted from the first bevel gear 247 to a tool holder (not shown) directly or via a second bevel gear (not shown) and a cylinder (not shown).
  • the motor housing 208 which houses the driving motor 211 rotates on the shaft 281 in the axial direction of the hammer bit when the inner and outer housings 205, 203 move in the axial direction of the hammer bit with respect to each other.
  • the output shaft 212 of the driving motor 211 is split in its axial direction into a body-side shaft part 212a and a tip-side shaft part 212b on which the driving gear 241 is formed.
  • An axially extending hexagonal hole 291 is formed in an end portion of the body-side shaft part 212a, and a spherical element 292 having a hexagonal section is formed on the tip-side shaft part 212b.
  • the spherical element 292 is fitted in the hexagonal hole 291 such that it can move in the extending direction of the hole (in the axial direction of the shaft) with respect to the hole.
  • the body-side shaft part 212a and the tip-side shaft part 212b are connected such that torque can be transmitted therebetween and can flex at the joint.
  • the hexagonal hole 291 and the spherical element 292 form the "universal joint".
  • axial ends of the tip-side shaft part 212b are rotatably supported by the inner housing 205 via bearings.
  • the body-side shaft part 212a is supported by the inner housing 205 via a spherical bearing 295 such that it can move in all directions with respect to the inner housing.
  • the spherical bearing 295 includes a spherical concave part 293 which is mounted to the inner housing 205, and a spherical element 294 which is fitted in the spherical concave part 293.
  • the spherical element 294 is mounted on an outer surface of an end portion of the body-side shaft part 212a such that it can slide in the axial direction of the shaft.
  • the inner housing 205 is shown moved rearward (toward the handgrip 209) in the axial direction of the hammer bit with respect to the outer housing 203, so that the driving motor 211 rotates rearward and the output shaft 212 flexes into a generally dogleg form.
  • a flexible (rubber) dust-proof cover 297 covers regions of the motor housing 208 and the inner housing 205 which include a joint between the body-side shaft part 212a and the tip-side shaft part 212b.
  • the hammer drill 201 is constructed as described above. Therefore, during operation, impulsive and cyclic vibration is caused in the inner housing 205 in the axial direction of the hammer bit 219 by driving of the striking mechanism part. However, transmission of vibration from the inner housing 205 to the outer housing 203 and the handgrip 209 side is reduced by elastic deformation of the elastic rubbers 283, 284.
  • the driving motor 211 is mounted to the outer housing 203 such that it can rotate in the axial direction of the hammer bit.
  • the mass of the handgrip 209 which is integrated with the outer housing 203 can be made relatively large with respect to the inner housing 205 which houses the striking mechanism part, so that the effect of vibration-proofing the handgrip 109 can be enhanced.
  • the elastic rubbers 283, 284 have lower shearing stiffness compared with their compressive stiffness, or in other words, a higher vibration reducing effect can be obtained by shearing deformation than by compressive deformation.
  • it is designed such that the elastic rubbers 283, 284 undergo shearing deformation in the axial direction of the hammer bit. With this construction, the effect of reducing vibration of the handgrip 209 by shearing deformation of the elastic rubbers 283, 284 can be enhanced.
  • the elastic rubbers 283, 284 undergo compressive deformation in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction transverse to the axial direction of the hammer bit 219.
  • the outer and inner housings 203, 205 can be prevented from uselessly moving with respect to each other in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, so that the hammer bit 219 can be pressed against the workpiece in stable condition.
  • the driving gear 241 and the driven gear 242 which drive the motion converting mechanism 213 are disposed in the inner housing 205 and connected to the outer housing 203 together with the motion converting mechanism 213 such that they can move in the axial direction of the hammer bit with respect to the outer housing 203. Therefore, the positional relation between the motion converting mechanism 213, the driving gear 241 and the driven gear 242 is held constant regardless of vibration, so that stable and smooth movement can be ensured.
  • the elastic rubbers 283 284 are described as being spherical, but they may be cylindrical.
  • the joint structure of the split output shaft 212 is described as being constructed such that the hexagonal hole 291 is formed in the body-side shaft part 212a and the spherical element 292 having a hexagonal section is formed in the tip-side shaft part 212b, but they may be formed vice versa.
  • the universal joint is not limited to the structure comprising the hexagonal hole 291 and the spherical element 292 having a hexagonal section.
  • a hammer drill is described as a representative example of the impact tool, but the present teachings may also be applied to a hammer in which the hammer bit 119 or 219 is caused to perform only striking
