Therefore, the at least one receptacle element of thereceptacle unit 18 is formed integrally with thebase plate 16, wherein the receptacle element is embodied as thereceptacle chamber 26 of thereceptacle unit 18, in which theelectrical unit 12 is arrangeable. Thereceptacle chamber 26 has an inner geometrical shape which corresponds to an outer geometrical shape of theelectrical unit 12. Thus, theelectrical unit 12 can be attached to thereceptacle chamber 26 via a positive connection. It is also possible that thereceptacle chamber 26 has an inner geometrical shape which is different from an outer geometrical shape of theelectrical unit 12, wherein an inner dimension of thereceptacle chamber 26 is larger than an outer dimension of theelectrical unit 12 so that theelectrical unit 12 can be arranged inside thereceptacle chamber 26. - To secure the
electrical unit 12 to thereceptacle chamber 26 and thus to thebase plate 16, the supportingdevice 10 comprises at least one fixingunit 52. The fixingunit 52 comprises at least one fixingelement 54 provided to fixedly secure theelectrical unit 12 to thereceptacle chamber 26 and thus to thebase plate 16. The fixingelement 54 is embodied as a screw to fixedly secure theelectrical unit 12 to thereceptacle chamber 26 via a positive and/or a non-positive connection. It is also possible that the fixingelement 54 is embodied as adifferent fixing element 54 which is considered expedient by a person skilled in the art, e.g. a snap-fit element, a bayonet catch element etc. Theelectrical unit 12 directly abuts on thebase plate 16 to achieve a heat transfer from theelectrical unit 12 to thebase plate 16. Thebase plate 16 is embodied as a heat sink base plate. Herein, thebase plate 16 is made of aluminum. It is also possible that thebase plate 16 is made of a different material which has high heat conductivity and which is considered expedient by a person skilled in the art. - The
base plate 16 is directly securable to theguidance rod 30. For this, thebase plate 16 comprises aconnection portion 34 which at least partly encompasses saidguidance rod 30 at least in a mounted state. Theconnection portion 34 is embodied as a tubular extension of thebase plate 16. Herein, theconnection portion 34 has a semicircular-ring-shaped cross section. An inner dimension of theconnection portion 34 corresponds to an outer dimension of theguidance rod 30. Therefore, theguidance rod 30 can be connected to theconnection portion 34 via a positive connection and/or a non-positive connection. Furthermore, theconnection portion 34 comprises at least one rib-like extension 60 (figure 3 ) to connect theguidance rod 30 and theconnection portion 34 in a torque proof manner. Theguidance rod 30 comprises a connection recess (not shown) which corresponds to the rib-like extension 60. - The
electrical unit 12 further comprises at least oneelectrical wire 56 to electrical connect theelectrical unit 12 to at least one further electrical unit (not shown) or to the main PCBA 58 (shown infigure 3 in dashed lines) of the electricallydriveable tool 14. Theelectrical wire 56 extends from an inside of thereceptacle chamber 26 to an outside of thereceptacle chamber 26 through a wire opening of thereceptacle chamber 26. The sealingunit 20 either comprises at least one further sealing element to waterproof-seal the wire opening of thereceptacle chamber 26, or the sealingelement 22 arranged at theborder portion 28 of thereceptacle chamber 26 has a sealing extension to waterproof-seal the wire opening of thereceptacle chamber 26. The further sealing element or the sealing extension of the sealingelement 22 is embodied in such a way that the wire opening is waterproof-sealed when theelectrical wire 56 extends through the wire opening. - The
main PCBA 58 of the electricallydriveable tool 14 also is arrangeable in afurther receptacle chamber 32 of thereceptacle unit 18. Thus, a further electrical unit, especially themain PCBA 58 of the electricallydriveable tool 14, can be arranged at thebase plate 16. Thefurther receptacle chamber 32 is embodied as a recess of thebase plate 16. Thus, thefurther receptacle chamber 32 is formed integrally with thebase plate 16. Herein, thefurther receptacle chamber 32 is arranged at a side of thebase plate 16 which is a far side of thebase plate 16 with respect to a side at which thereceptacle chamber 26 is arranged. The sealingunit 20 comprises afurther sealing element 62 to waterproof-seal thefurther receptacle chamber 32. Aborder portion 64 of thefurther receptacle chamber 32 can comprise at least one sealing groove in which the further sealingelement 62 can be arranged. It is also possible that theborder portion 64 of thefurther receptacle chamber 32 comprises a flat sealing surface at which the further sealingelement 62 can be arranged. Theborder portion 64 of thefurther receptacle chamber 32 is provided to limit a receptacle opening of thefurther receptacle chamber 32. Furthermore, thereceptacle unit 18 comprises a further cover element (not shown) to close at least one receptacle opening of thefurther receptacle chamber 32 of thereceptacle unit 18. The further cover element is fixedly securable to thefurther receptacle chamber 32. Thefurther sealing element 62 is arranged between the further cover element and theborder portion 64 of thefurther receptacle chamber 32. - The
guidance rod 30 is located adjacent to the further waterproof-sealedreceptacle chamber 32 of thereceptacle unit 18. Theguidance rod 30 is hollow. Herein, electrical wires 66 (shown infigure 3 as a dashed line) of themain PCBA 58 emerge from an inside of the further waterproof-sealedreceptacle chamber 32 into an inner portion of theguidance rod 30. Thence, theelectrical wires 66 of themain PCBA 58 extend to the electrical motor 38 to be connected to the latter. Therefore, theelectrical wires 66 of themain PCBA 58 extend from the further waterproof-sealedreceptacle chamber 32 to themotor housing 36 through theguidance rod 30, wherein theelectrical wires 66 of themain PCBA 58 electrically connect the electrical motor 38 to themain PCBA 58. Thefurther sealing element 62 comprises at least one sealing extension to waterproof-seal a wire opening of the further waterproof-sealedreceptacle chamber 32. Thefurther sealing element 62 is embodied in such a way that the wire opening of the further waterproof-sealedreceptacle chamber 32 is waterproof-sealed when theelectrical wires 66 of themain PCBA 58 extend through the wire opening of the further waterproof-sealedreceptacle chamber 32. -
Figure 4 shows an alternative or additional opportunity to attach theelectrical unit 12 or a further electrical unit, e.g. themain PCBA 58 or a further, different PCBA, to thebase plate 16. For this, thereceptacle unit 18 comprises ahousing unit 68 in which theelectrical unit 12 or a further electrical unit is arrangeable. Thehousing unit 68 comprises a receptacle housing-shell 70 in which theelectrical unit 12 or a further electrical unit is arrangeable. Furthermore, thehousing unit 68 comprises a cover housing-shell 72 to close an opening of the receptacle housing-shell 70. The sealingunit 20 comprises ahousing sealing element 74 to waterproof-seal thehousing unit 68. Thehousing sealing element 74 comprises at least one sealing extension to waterproof-seal a wire opening of thehousing unit 68. Thehousing sealing element 74 is embodied in such a way that the wire opening of thehousing unit 68 is waterproof-sealed when at least one electrical wire of theelectrical unit 12 or a further electrical unit extends through the wire opening of thehousing unit 68. Moreover, thehousing unit 68 is attachable directly to thebase plate 16. Herein, the receptacle housing-shell 70 is fixedly securable to thebase plate 16. The cover housing-shell 72 is fixedly securable to the receptacle housing-shell 70. Thehousing unit 68 is made of a material which has high heat conductivity, e.g. aluminum etc. Therefore, good heat dissipation can advantageously be achieved.
