Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hand tool machine provided with a motor-driven pneumatic impact mechanism according to the preamble of claim 1 and as shown in FIG EP 2 653 267 A1 known.
  • EP2130651A1 shows a hammer drill with the generic pneumatic percussion.
  • a motor drives an exciter piston in a guide tube by means of an eccentric wheel.
  • An also arranged in the guide tube racket is coupled by the formed between the exciter piston and the racket air spring in the form of a pneumatic chamber to the movement of the racket.
  • the bat strikes periodically in the direction of impact on a largely resting intermediate racket, which forwards the impact pulse to a tool.
  • the pneumatic impact mechanism exerts only minor force peaks on the user compared to a mechanical impact mechanism, because the club is only weakly coupled to the exciter when it hits the air spring. In the initial acceleration of the racket by the exciter in the direction of impact, however, the air spring is highly compressed and therefore strongly coupling, so this phase is felt by the user.
  • a hand tool according to claim 1 is provided.
  • the hand tool of the invention has a tool holder for receiving a chiseling tool on a working axis, a motor and a striking mechanism.
  • the percussion includes a club guided on the working axis, a periodically driven exciter by the motor, and a pneumatic chamber for coupling the movement of the racket to the periodic motion of the exciter.
  • the bat hits the tool or an intermediate bat in the direction of impact at the point of impact.
  • the exciter is driven between a first dead center remote from the impact point and a second dead center near the impact point.
  • the pneumatic chamber is formed between the racket and a racket facing the front side of the exciter.
  • An airtight encapsulated housing has an interior space which is closed by a face of the pathogen facing away from the racket. Of the Interior is connected by a closable by the racket, the first valve with the pneumatic chamber. In addition, the interior is connected to a closable by the exciter, the second valve with the pneumatic chamber. The first valve is located near the impact point and the second valve near the first dead center.
  • the interior is significantly larger than the pneumatic chamber, for example, the housing contains all or part of the transmission, e.g. an eccentric wheel.
  • the exciter generates with its back a small, but existing pressure fluctuation compared to the pneumatic chamber. It turns out that this can be used to reduce the occurring during the initial acceleration phase retroactive peak force.
  • the pressure in the pneumatic chamber is increased by the pressure balance between the interior and the pneumatic chamber when the second valve is opened. Due to the arrangement, the opening of the valve occurs when the exciter is near the first dead center. During operation, the pressure in the interior is slightly increased, reduced in the pneumatic chamber.
  • the short-term ventilation hereby causes an increase in the pressure in the air spring and extends the duration of the coupling of the racquet to the exciter. The pathogen can accelerate the bat over a longer period of time, thereby reducing the force peaks.
  • the venting of the pneumatic chamber takes place when the bat is near the point of impact.
  • the control is carried out by the racket, so that the start of the percussion after a few cycles of the pathogen is possible.
  • Fig. 1 schematically shows a hammer drill 1 as an example of a chiseling hand tool .
  • the hammer drill 1 has a tool holder 2, in which a shank end 3 of a tool, such as a chiseling drill 4, can be used.
  • a primary drive of the hammer drill 1 is a motor 5, which drives a striking mechanism 6 and an output shaft 7 .
  • the electric motor 5 is powered, for example, by a battery 8 .
  • a user can guide the hammer drill 1 by means of a handle 9 and be by means of a system switch 10 to the hammer drill 1 is in operation. In operation, the hammer drill 1 rotates the drill 4 continuously about a working axis 11 and can beat the drill bit 4 in the direction of impact 12 along the working axis 11 in a substrate.
  • the impact mechanism 6 is a pneumatic impact mechanism 6.
  • the exemplary impact mechanism 6 has a guide tube 13 with a cylindrical inner wall 14.
  • the guide tube 13 is located on the working axis 11.
  • a racket 15 is inserted into the guide tube 13 and in this along the working axis 11 movable.
  • the racket 15 is designed as a piston which terminates airtight with the inner wall 14 .
  • An exciter 16 is arranged in the direction of impact 12 in front of the racket 15 in the guide tube 13 .
  • the exemplary exciter 16 is also designed as a piston, which is airtight in the guide tube 13 along the working axis 11 with the inner wall 14 airtight.
  • the racket 15 and the exciter 16 close with their facing end faces 17, 18 between them a pneumatic chamber 19 a.
  • the pneumatic chamber 19 serves as an air spring, which couples a movement of the racket 15 to a movement of the exciter 16 .
  • the exciter 16 is coupled to a motor 5 via a transmission 20 .
  • the transmission 20 includes, for example, an eccentric 21, which converts the rotational movement of the motor 5 in a linear movement of the exciter 16 .
  • the eccentric 21 has a finger 22 which is eccentrically offset by a crank radius to a rotational axis 23 of the eccentric 21 .
  • a connecting rod 24 engages with one end of the finger 22 and is rotatably or pivotally suspended in the exciter 16 at another end.
  • the exciter 16 is forcibly attracted to a periodic movement, which along the working axis 11 between a first dead center 25 and a second dead center 26 ( Fig. 4 ).
  • the first dead center 25 is in the direction of impact 12 before the second dead center 26.
  • the lifting height 27 between the two dead centers 25, 26 is essentially predetermined by the crank radius.
  • a wobble finger can also be used, which moves the exciter 16 between the dead centers 25, 26 .
  • the transmission 20 may include reduction stages, torque clutches, etc.
  • the racket 15 follows coupled by the pneumatic chamber 19 of the movement of the exciter 16.
  • the movement of the racket 15 and the exciter 16 along the working axis 11 are in Fig. 4 shown.
  • the y-axis indicates the position of the racket 15 and the exciter 16 shown on the angular position of the eccentric wheel 21 on the x-axis.
  • the racket 15 and the exciter 16 are abstracted to describe their movement or position on a thin disc.
  • the racket 15 moves periodically in the direction of impact 12 to an impact point 28 and counter to the direction of impact 12 up to a reversal point 29.
  • the distance from impact point 28 to reversal point 29 is referred to below as the flight distance 30 .
  • the racket 15 strikes an intermediate racket 31 which, with its striking surface 32 facing the racket 15, defines the impact point 28 of the striking mechanism 6 .
  • the intermediate beater 31 bears against the impact direction 12 against a stop 33 .
  • the reversal point 29 is approximately in the middle between the first dead center 25 and the second dead center 26 of the exciter 16.
  • the transmission 20, in particular the eccentric wheel 21, is arranged in a housing 34 .
  • the housing 34 has an opening 35 in which a transmission-side portion 36 of the impact mechanism 6 is arranged flush.
  • the guide tube 13 is the transmission side open in the housing 34 , preferably with the cross section of the exciter 16.
  • the exciter 16 thus forms, at least a portion of the closure of the opening 35.
  • the moving exciter 16 periodically reduces the interior 37 of the housing 34th Das Housing 34 is hermetically sealed.
  • the pressure in the housing 34 changes with the beat frequency, which is typically in the range between 10 Hz and 100 Hz. The pressure is increased when the exciter 16 is advanced furthest into the housing 34 , ergo furthest from the impact point 28 (first dead center 25 ).
  • the closed between the housing 34 and exciter 16 volume is between 0.7 times and 5 times the swept by the exciter 16 volume.
  • the volume enclosed by the housing 34 and the exciter 16 may increase between 20% and 150% when the exciter 16 circulates. leaks are to be reduced so that they can not achieve a significant pressure equalization with the environment within a few seconds.
  • the guide tube 13 is provided with a first valve 38 which connects the pneumatic chamber 19 with the interior 37 of the housing 34 .
  • the first valve 38 preferably consists of a radial valve opening in the guide tube 13, which is run over by the racket 15 and thereby covered.
  • the racket 15 releases the valve opening of the valve 38 when the racket 15 is near the point of impact 28 .
  • the valve opening of the valve 38 is preferably less than 10% of the flight distance of the racket 15 away from the impact point 28 .
  • the first valve 38 is thus usually closed during the periodic movement.
  • the housing 34 may cover the first valve 38 along the working axis 11 such that the first valve 38 is located within the interior 37 .
  • a hose or other channel may lead from the first valve 38 to the interior 37 .
  • the guide tube 13 is provided with a second valve 39 , which connects the pneumatic chamber 19 with the interior 37 of the housing 34 .
  • the second valve 39 has a radial valve opening in the guide tube 13, which is run over by the exciter 16 and thereby covered.
  • the exciter 16 releases the valve opening when the exciter 16 is near the first dead center 25 , ie in the retracted from the impact point 28 position.
  • the valve opening of the valve 39 is preferably less than 10% of the lifting height 27 away from the first dead center 25 .
  • the housing 34 may cover the second valve 39 in the same way, or the second valve 39 is connected to the interior 37 by means of another channel.
  • the second valve 39 may include a check valve 40 , which prevents an outflow from the pneumatic chamber 19 into the interior 37 .
  • the first valve 38 and the second valve 39 are opened at different times and independently, the beater 15 controls only the first valve 38 and the exciter 16 controls only the second valve 39. Both valves 38, 39, however, bind the pneumatic chamber 19 to the same interior 37 . While the second valve 39 opens, the exciter 16 is near the first dead center 25. The pressure in the housing 34 is increased, at least higher than the pressure in the pneumatic chamber 19. From the interior space 37 , an amount of air flows into the pneumatic chamber 19th Fig. 5 schematically shows the air flow plotted on the y-axis plotted over the angular position of the eccentric wheel 21 as the x-axis. While the first valve 38 is opened, the racket 15 has almost its Final speed reached. The pressure in the pneumatic chamber 19 is still slightly higher than in the interior 37, the previously supplied amount of air flows out.
