Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a striking machine tool, in particular a hand-held pneumatic hammer drill and a hand-held pneumatic electric chisel, according to the preamble of claim 1 and as from US 6 116 352 A known.
  • a hand-held pneumatic hammer drill has a pneumatic percussion driven by a motor.
  • 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 hand tool of the invention has a tool holder for holding a striking tool on a working axis, an electric motor, and a striking mechanism.
  • the percussion 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 front of the racket in the direction of impact.
  • the striker is in a working position against the direction of impact on a stop, in a starting position of the striker is offset in the direction of impact to the working position and in a rest position of the striker is offset in the direction of impact to the starting position.
  • a slide valve is formed by a first radial opening of the pneumatic chamber and the racket, wherein in the starting position of the racket adjacent to the striker closes the slide valve and opens in the rest position of the racket adjacent to the striker the slide valve.
  • a check valve is closed in the working position of the striker and opened automatically in the starting position.
  • a check valve is Input side is connected to the check valve and the output side connected to the second radial opening of the pneumatic chamber.
  • 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 striker disables the increase in the amount of air via the check valve upstream of the check valve.
  • the increased amount of air is selectively reduced in chiseling operation or reduced via loss channels, which increases the impact power to the setpoint.
  • the impact mechanism can be switched off completely via the slide valve.
  • the check valve and the slide valve are controlled by the striker, and thus indirectly by the user and the pressing of the tool to the ground.
  • One embodiment includes a slide valve formed by a radial opening of the pneumatic chamber and the racket.
  • the slide valve is closed by the racket adjacent to the lying in the working position striker the slide valve for the pneumatic chamber; and the gate valve is opened by the mallet adjacent to the striker in front of the operative position of the striker for the pneumatic chamber.
  • the slide valve is completely closed during a chiseling operation and is open only in a rest position of the power tool.
  • the check valve has an elastic locking body, which is spaced in an unstrained basic form of a valve seat of the check valve and elastically braced by the lying in the working position striker on the valve seat, fitting is deformed.

  • An embodiment provides, characterized in that the first channel opening is arranged at a rack-side reversal point of the exciter.
  • the exciter may preferably not close the first channel opening.
  • the exciter can suck in air via the check valve by means of its entire stroke. Increasing the amount of air above the chiseling normal level can thus be done very quickly.
  • the pneumatic chamber has a throttle opening for exchanging air between the pneumatic chamber and the surroundings of the portable power tool.
  • the throttle opening may be arranged at a hammer-side reversal point of the exciter.
  • a ratio of the cross-sectional area of the throttle opening to the cross-sectional area of the channel opening is less than one to twelve.
  • About the throttle opening can be adjusted specifically the outflow of the increased amount of air.
  • the throttle opening is very small, whereby the outflow preferably takes up to one second.
  • An embodiment provides that the check valve is arranged stationarily at the first channel opening.
  • the check valve is preferably very close to the channel opening to keep the dead volume in the channel section between the channel opening and the check valve very small relative to the mean volume of the pneumatic chamber.
  • Fig. 1 shows a hammer drill 1 as an example of a beating hand-held machine tool.
  • the hammer drill 1 has a tool holder 2 in which coaxial with a working axis 3, a drill, chisel or other beating tool 4 can be used and locked.

  • An exemplary transmission component is based on an eccentric wheel 18 which is connected to the electric motor 8 .
  • a connecting rod 19 connects a pin 20 of the eccentric 18 with a pin in the exciter 13th
  • the exciter 13 moves synchronously with the electric motor 8 .
  • the electric motor 8 typically rotates in response to actuation of the operating button 12 and rotates as long as the user holds the operating button 12 pressed.
  • the periodic forward and backward movement of the exciter 13 begins and ends likewise with the actuation or release of the operating button 12 .
  • Another example of such a transmission component is a wobble drive.
  • the racket 14 is coupled via the air spring to the exciter 13 .
  • the air spring is based on a pressure difference between the pressure in the pneumatic chamber 16 and the pressure in the environment.

  • 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 .
  • the striker 15 presses in the working position against the direction of impact 6 on the Ring 46 .
  • an actuator disk 47 transmits the force from the striker 15 to the ring 46 .
  • the seat 45 is immovable with respect to guide tube 17 , whereby the contact pressure 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 to such an extent that the blocking body 44 touches the valve seat 43 and closes the notch 48 (FIG. 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, that is, the blocking body 44 is at a distance from the valve seat 43 (FIG. 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 flow from the intermediate chamber 26 through the radial puncture 50 on the side with the notch 48 , in the notch 48 and by the axial puncture 51 from the check valve 42 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.
