  • a pneumatic chamber forms an air spring which couples a racket to an exciter moved by the motor.
  • the hammer mechanism is deactivated if the user does not apply pressure to the tool to protect the hammer from excessive loading. As soon as the user presses the hammer to the tool, the hammer mechanism starts to work again. In high-performance machines, the guiding of the hammer when re-pressing proves to be difficult to control.
  • the striking hand tool has a tool holder for holding a striking tool on a working axis, an electric motor and a striking mechanism.
  • the striking mechanism has a pathogen moved by the electric motor, a racket coupled to the exciter via a pneumatic chamber disposed between the exciter and the racket, and a striker located in the direction of impact of the racket. The striker is in a working position against the direction of impact on a stop.

  • the check valve is the input side connected to the stationary check valve, and the output side connected to the radial opening.
  • the exciter can increase the amount of air in the pneumatic chamber. The larger amount of air reduces the impact and increases the stiffness of the air spring, which facilitates the attachment of the tool to the ground.

  • the check valve has a moving only in the radial direction element and is thus decoupled from the forces acting on the working axis during chiseling.
  • the check valve has an elastic ring which is divided by a circumferential circumferential notch in the valve seat and the lock body. A puncture running along the working axis is provided in the blocking body.
  • the check valve is a monolithic body with a flow through Labyrinth Lab, which can be closed by elastic deformation of the body, in particular the groove.

  • the channel portion from the first channel opening 30 to the check valve 29 is as short as possible.
  • a dead volume formed by the channel portion is constant and less than 5% of the mean volume of the pneumatic chamber 16.
  • the exemplary check valve 29 is based on a movable lock body 38 and an inclined guide surface 39 (FIG. 6).
  • the check valve 29 has a Passage 40, in which an air flow can flow through the check valve 29.
  • the check valve 29 locks automatically in an air flow against the passage direction 40.
  • the movable blocking body 35 lies in a bulge 41 of the channel 27.
  • the bulge 41 has a dimension along the passage direction 40, which allows a movement of the blocking body 38 along the passage 40.
  • the inclined guide surface 39 is provided on the input side of the bulge 41.
  • the guide surface 39 approaches the passage 27 counter to the passage direction 40, as a result of which the blocking body 35 pressed against the guide surface 39 by a flow of air flowing in the opposite direction to the passage direction 40 is pressed into the passage 27.
  • the movable blocking body 35 may be a ball or an elastic ring spanning the guide tube 17.
  • An embodiment of the check valve 42 is shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9.
  • the check valve 28 is actuated by the striker 15.
  • the striker 15 closes the check valve 28 when the striker 15 is in the operative position ( Figure 7 upper half of the picture, Figure 8).
  • the blocking valve 28 is opened when the striker 15 is displaced from the working position (Fig. 8 lower half of the figure, Fig. 9).
  • the check valve 42 has a valve seat 43 and an elastic lock body 44.
  • the valve seat 45 and the lock body 46 are formed of a monolithic elastic ring 46.
  • the ring 46 is arranged coaxially with the striker 15.
  • the ring 46 is placed on the guide tube 17.
  • the ring 46 may be disposed within the guide tube 17 between the beater 14 and the striker 15.
  • the ring 46 is clamped along the working axis 3 between the striker 15 and a seat 45.
  • an actuating disk 47 transmits the force from the striker 15 to the ring 46.
  • the seat 45 is immovable with respect to the guide tube 17, whereby the contact force of the striker 15 can compress the ring 46 axially.
  • the seat 45 forms with the ring 46 the stop to which the striker 15 is pressed against the direction of impact 6 for the working position.
  • the ring 46 has a circumferential notch 48 which divides the ring 46 along the axis into the valve seat 43 and the lock body 44.
  • the locking body 44 may be configured in the form of a thin lip.
  • the blocking body 44 can be pivoted into the notch 48 far enough that the blocking body 44 touches the valve seat 43 and the notch 48 closes (Fig. 8).
  • the ring 46, in particular the lip-shaped locking body 44 and the blocking body 35 with the valve seat 43 connecting web 49 are resiliently braced when the locking body 44 abuts against the valve seat 43.
  • the notch 48 is opened, ie the locking body 44 is at a distance from the valve seat 43 (FIG. 9).
  • the ring 46 has one or more radial punctures 50 in the valve seat 43 and an axial puncture 51 in the locking body 44.
  • the air can from the intermediate chamber 26 through the radial puncture 50 on the side with the notch 48, in the notch 48 and through the axial puncture 51 from the check valve 42 flow into the channel 27.
  • the notch 48 is compressed, that is, the lip-shaped locking body 44 abuts against the valve seat 43, the air flow is interrupted.
  • the ring 46 lies with its radially inner surface airtight on the guide tube 17, the notch 48 is on the radial outer side.
  • the ring 46 may alternatively be arranged with the lip-shaped locking body in the direction of impact 6 and the valve seat against the seat.
  • the ring 46 is formed of, for example, rubber or a synthetic rubber.
