The drive mechanism 50 includes a bevel gear 51, a motion conversion pin 52, and a plunger 53. The bevel gear 51 is rotatably provided on the front side of the drive shaft 41 of the motor 40 with the vertical direction as the axial direction, and is meshed with the pinion gear 41A of the motor 40. The motion conversion pin 52 is formed in a columnar shape with the vertical direction as the axial direction, and is fixed to the bevel gear 51 at a position eccentric with respect to the rotation axis of the bevel gear 51. The upper end of the motion conversion pin 52 projects upward from the bevel gear 51.

The plunger 53 is formed in a substantially columnar shape with the front-rear direction as the axial direction.

(Regarding the control unit 60) As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 6, and 8, the control unit 60 is housed in the lower end portion of the first space 16A of the motor housing unit 16. The control unit 60 includes a control board 62 and a case 61 for accommodating the control board 62. The case 61 is formed in a rectangular box shape having a relatively shallow bottom with the vertical direction as the thickness direction. Further, the case 61 is open to one side (lower side) in the thickness direction. As a result, the case 61 is configured to include a bottom wall 61A constituting the upper end of the case 61 and a side wall 61B extending downward from the outer peripheral portion of the bottom wall 61A. A case inclined portion 61C is formed at the upper end portion of the side wall 61B. The case inclined portion 61C is inclined inward of the case 61 toward the upper side and is connected to the bottom wall 61A.

Then, the case 61 is sandwiched in the left-right direction by the split housing 15 of the rear housing 13 and fixed to the motor housing portion 16. Specifically, the left and right side walls 61B of the case 61 are sandwiched in the left-right direction by the left and right holding portions 21 of the motor housing portion 16. As a result, the movement of the case 61 in the left-right direction is restricted by the holding portion 21. Further, the front end portion of the case 61 is arranged inside the front side fixing portion 17B of the motor housing portion 16, and the rear end portion of the case 61 is arranged inside the first rear side fixing portion 18, and the first 2 It is arranged on the upper side of the lower wall of the rear fixing portion 19. Further, the fixing piece 20 of the motor housing portion 16 is arranged on the upper side of the left end portion of the bottom wall 61A of the case 61. As a result, the vertical movement of the case 61 is restricted by the front fixing portion 17B, the first rear fixing portion 18, the second rear fixing portion 19, and the fixing piece 20.

Further, the case 61 is arranged apart from the lower side of the stator 43 of the motor 40, and is arranged below the intake port 22 of the motor housing portion 16. As a result, a cooling air passage 70 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) is formed between the motor 40 and the case 61. That is, the bottom wall 61A of the case 61 is housed in the first space 16A of the motor housing portion 16 so as to form a part of the wall portion of the cooling air passage 70. Further, the opening 61D of the case 61 opens to the bottom wall 61A on the side opposite to the cooling air passage 70, the intake port 22, and the guide hole 17A. Further, the rear end portion of the cooling air passage 70 communicates with the intake port 22, and the front end portion of the cooling air passage 70 communicates with the guide hole 17A.

Further, in the fixed state of the case 61 to the motor housing portion 16, a part of the case inclined portion 61C of the case 61 is exposed in the second space 16B from the exposed hole 17D of the fan guide 17 in the motor housing portion 16. ..

The control board 62 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with the vertical direction as the plate thickness direction. The control board 62 is housed in the case 61 and fixed to the case 61. On the lower surface of the control board 62, a plurality of (six in the present embodiment) switching elements (FETs) 63 (in a broad sense, elements grasped as heat-generating components) are provided.

(About the fan 72) The saver saw 10 has a fan 72 that generates a cooling air AR that cools the control unit 60. The fan 72 is integrally rotatably fixed to the front end side portion of the drive shaft 41 of the motor 40, and is arranged on the front side of the fan guide 17 and in the second space 16B of the motor housing portion 16. That is, most of the control unit 60 is arranged between the intake port 22 of the motor housing unit 16 and the fan 72, and a part of the control unit 60 is arranged between the fan 72 and the exhaust port 23 of the motor housing unit 16. (Front end) is arranged.

The fan 72 is configured as a centrifugal fan to generate an air flow that causes air on the rear side of the fan 72 to flow outward in the radial direction of the fan 72. As a result, a cooling air AR that is sucked into the motor housing portion 16 from the intake port 22 and discharged to the outside of the motor housing portion 16 from the exhaust port 23 is generated inside the motor housing portion 16. Specifically, the cooling air AR is sucked into the first space 16A from the intake port 22 and is sucked into the second space 16B and flows into the fan 72, and the upstream cooling air AR1 and the second space 16B. Includes the downstream cooling air AR2 which is discharged outward from the fan 72 in the radial direction and is exhausted to the outside of the motor housing portion 16 from the exhaust port 23. That is, the air flow from the intake port 22 to the fan 72 (suction air) is the upstream cooling air AR1, and the air flow from the fan 72 to the exhaust port 23 (exhaust air) is the downstream cooling air AR2.

Then, as will be described in detail later, the upstream cooling air AR1 sucked into the first space 16A from the intake port 22 passes through the cooling air passage 70 and goes to the guide hole 17A side along the rear surface of the fan guide 17. It is designed to flow. That is, the fan guide 17 is configured to function as a guide portion that guides the upstream cooling air AR1 flowing in the first space 16A to the fan 72.

(Action and effect) Next, the action and effect of the present embodiment will be described.

In the saver saw 10 configured as described above, the motor 40 is driven by the pulling operation of the trigger 30. When the motor 40 is driven, the driving force of the motor 40 is transmitted to the plunger 53 of the drive mechanism 50, and the plunger 53 reciprocates in the front-rear direction. As a result, the blade 56 attached to the plunger 53 reciprocates in the front-rear direction together with the plunger 53. Therefore, the blade 56 that reciprocates can cut the work material such as a pipe.

Further, when the motor 40 is driven, the fan 72 rotates around the axis of the drive shaft 41 together with the drive shaft 41 of the motor 40, and the air on the rear side (motor 40 side) of the fan 72 flows outward in the radial direction of the fan 72. An air flow is generated. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the upstream cooling air AR1 is sucked into the first space 16A from the intake port 22 of the motor housing portion 16. Further, the intake port 22 communicates with the rear end portion of the cooling air passage 70. Therefore, the upstream cooling air AR1 sucked into the upper part of the first space 16A hits the motor board 45 of the motor 40 and flows to the lower side (cooling air passage 70 side) along the rear surface of the motor board 45. It flows into the rear end side of the cooling air passage 70. Further, the upstream cooling air AR1 sucked into the lower part of the first space 16A directly flows into the rear end side of the cooling air passage 70.

The upstream cooling air AR1 flowing into the rear end of the cooling air passage 70 flows forward in the cooling air passage 70 along the upper surface of the bottom wall 61A in the case 61 of the control unit 60. That is, the upstream cooling air AR1 flows in the cooling air passage 70 while cooling the case 61. When the upstream cooling air AR1 reaches the front end of the cooling air passage 70, it hits the lower end of the fan guide 17 and flows upward along the rear surface of the fan guide 17. The upstream cooling air AR1 flowing upward along the fan guide 17 is sucked into the second space 16B from the guide hole 17A and flows into the fan 72.

The upstream cooling air AR1 sucked into the fan 72 flows out from the fan 72 radially outward as the downstream cooling air AR2. Then, the downstream cooling air AR2 discharged from the fan 72 is exhausted from the exhaust port 23 to the outside of the motor housing portion 16. At this time, the downstream cooling air AR2 flowing downward from the fan 72 is flowed downward along the front surface of the fan guide 17. Then, the downstream cooling air AR2 that has reached the lower end of the fan guide 17 flows downward and diagonally forward along the inclined wall 17C of the fan guide 17 and the case inclined portion 61C exposed from the exposed hole 17D, and flows downward. It is exhausted from the exhaust port 23 to the outside of the motor housing portion 16. That is, the downstream cooling air AR2 flows to the exhaust port 23 side while cooling the front end portion of the case 61.

As described above, in the saver saw 10 of the present embodiment, the motor 40, the fan 72, and the control unit 60 are housed in the motor housing unit 16 of the housing 12, and the intake port 22 is housed in the motor housing unit 16. And the exhaust port 23 is formed. As a result, cooling air AR that is sucked in from the intake port 22 and exhausted from the exhaust port 23 is generated in the motor housing portion 16. Specifically, the upstream cooling air AR1 that flows into the motor housing portion 16 from the intake port 22 and flows into the fan 72, and the downstream side that flows out from the fan 72 and is exhausted to the outside of the motor housing portion 16 from the exhaust port 23. Side cooling air AR2 is generated. Then, in the present embodiment, the control unit 60 having the switching element 63 that generates heat during operation is cooled by the upstream cooling air AR1 and the downstream cooling air AR2. As a result, the control unit 60 can be efficiently cooled as compared with the configuration in which the control unit 60 is cooled by one of the upstream cooling air AR1 and the downstream cooling air AR2. Therefore, the cooling performance for the control unit 60 can be improved. The air that has just entered the motor housing portion 16 from the intake port 22 has a high cooling effect because the temperature is low, and the rear end portion of the control unit 60 is the upstream portion of the upstream cooling air AR1 (air before cooling the motor 40). ), So the cooling effect is high. Further, the downstream cooling air AR2 tends to have a faster air flow, and the control unit 60 can be suitably cooled by applying an exhaled air (air after cooling of the motor 40) having a high wind speed to the control unit 60. Become. That is, the present invention has a cooling configuration utilizing the advantages of each of the suction air and the discharge air, such as applying a suction air having a relatively low temperature to the control unit 60 and also applying an discharge air having a high wind speed to the control unit 60. Is a feature. Further, when the control unit 60 is cooled by only one of the upstream cooling air AR1 and the downstream cooling air AR2, the housing may become larger than necessary or the structure may be complicated because a sufficient flow path is formed. However, by cooling with both the upstream cooling air AR1 and the downstream cooling air AR2 as in the present embodiment, design freedom can be obtained, and the housing becomes larger or more complicated. The control unit 60 can be suitably cooled without this.

Further, the motor housing unit 16 has a first space 16A through which the upstream cooling air AR1 passes and a second space 16B through which the downstream cooling air AR2 passes, and the control unit 60 has a first space. It is exposed to 16A and the second space 16B. Specifically, the control unit 60 is arranged between the intake port 22 and the fan 72. Further, a part (front end portion) of the control unit 60 is exposed to the second space 16B by the exposed hole 17D of the fan guide 17, and is arranged between the fan 72 and the exhaust port 23. As a result, the control unit 60 can be cooled by the upstream cooling air AR1 and the downstream cooling air AR2.

Further, the motor housing portion 16 is provided with a fan guide 17 for partitioning the first space 16A and the second space 16B, and the upstream cooling air AR1 and the downstream cooling air AR2 are rectified by the fan guide 17. .. Specifically, the direction of the upstream cooling air AR1 flowing through the cooling air passage 70 is changed upward by the fan guide 17, and the upstream cooling air AR1 flows upward along the rear surface of the fan guide 17. It is sucked into the second space 16B from the guide hole 17A. As a result, the upstream cooling air AR1 can be efficiently flowed to the second space 16B side. Further, the downstream cooling air AR2 flowing out from the fan 72 flows downward along the front surface of the fan guide 17. Therefore, the front end portion of the control unit 60 can be cooled by the downstream cooling air AR2 while suppressing the backflow of the downstream cooling air AR2 to the first space 16A side by the fan guide 17.

Further, the fan 72 is arranged in the second space 16B on the front side of the guide hole 17A. As a result, the upstream cooling air AR1 can be efficiently discharged from the guide hole 17A to the second space 16B side by the air flow generated by the fan 72, and can flow into the fan 72.

Further, the motor 40 and the control unit 60 are housed in the first space 16A, and the control unit 60 is arranged apart from each other on the radial outer side (lower side) of the motor 40. As a result, a cooling air passage 70 for passing the upstream cooling air AR1 can be formed between the motor 40 and the control unit 60, and a part of the wall portion of the cooling air passage 70 can be formed in the control unit 60. It can be configured by the case 61. Therefore, the control unit 60 and the motor 40 can be efficiently cooled by the upstream cooling air AR1 passing through the cooling air passage 70.

Further, the case 61 of the control unit 60 is formed in a substantially box shape open to the lower side, and the wall portion of the cooling air passage 70 is formed by the bottom wall 61A of the case 61. Specifically, the intake port 22 is arranged on the upper side of the case 61 (the side opposite to the opening 61D). As a result, the upstream cooling air AR1 passing through the cooling air passage 70 moves forward along the upper surface of the bottom wall 61A to cool the control unit 60, and the upstream cooling air AR1 is the control board in the case 61. It is possible to suppress direct contact with the switching element 63 mounted on the 62 or the control board 62 or an electronic element such as wiring. Therefore, for example, even if the chips generated during the operation of the saver saw 10 flow into the first space 16A together with the upstream cooling air AR1, it is possible to prevent the chips from hitting the control board 62 or the electronic element. Therefore, it is possible to improve the cooling performance for the control unit 60 while improving the protection performance for the control board 62. In particular, when the material to be processed is a metal, the protection performance against the control substrate 62 can be effectively improved.

Further, since the upstream cooling air AR1 flows forward along the upper surface of the bottom wall 61A of the control unit 60, the upstream cooling air AR1 can be smoothly flowed in the cooling air passage 70. Further, by partially partitioning the inside of the motor housing portion 16 by the control unit 60, the upper space and the lower space of the control unit 60 can be partitioned, and the first space 16A can be easily formed. That is, by attaching the control unit 60, the air passage of the upstream cooling air AR1 can be easily formed, and it is not necessary to provide the motor housing unit 16 with a structure (rib or the like) for forming the air passage more than necessary. .. Further, in the case of forming a cooling air passage using a fan 72 which is a centrifugal fan, a suction air that normally moves in the axial direction of the motor 40 and an discharge air that moves outward in the radial direction are formed. In the present embodiment, the control unit 60 is made to function as a wall for partitioning the first space 16A and also as a wall for partitioning the second space 16B. By doing so, the control unit 60 can be cooled by the upstream cooling air AR1 heading in the axial direction and the downstream cooling air AR2 heading outward in the radial direction, and the cooling air is controlled by a simple configuration without making a U-turn. A suitable cooling configuration of the unit 60 can be realized.

Further, the case 61 of the control unit 60 is sandwiched from the outside in the left-right direction by the sandwiching portion 21 of the motor housing portion 16. Specifically, the left and right holding portions 21 are arranged outside the intake port 22 in the left-right direction to sandwich the case 61 in the left-right direction. As a result, the case 61 can be fixed by the sandwiching portion 21 without obstructing the flow of the upstream cooling air AR1 in the cooling air passage 70.

(Modification 1 of the cooling structure S) Next, a modification 1 of the cooling structure S in the saver saw 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The cooling structure S of the first modification has the same configuration as that of the present embodiment except for the following points. That is, in the cooling structure S of the first modification, the communication hole 17E is formed through the lower side of the front fixing portion 17B of the fan guide 17. As a result, the lower space of the control unit 60 and the second space 16B are communicated with each other by the communication hole 17E. That is, in the first modification, the second space 16B expands to the lower space of the control unit 60. The space on the upstream side of the second space 16B and the first space 16A are partitioned by the fan guide 17, and the space on the downstream side of the second space 16B and the first space 16A are partitioned by the control unit 60. There is. Further, the exhaust port 23 formed on the lower wall of the motor housing portion 16 is moved to the rear side as compared with the present embodiment. Specifically, the exhaust port 23 is arranged below the rear end portion of the control unit 60. As a result, the rear end portion of the second space 16B and the outside of the motor housing portion 16 are communicated with each other by the exhaust port 23.

Therefore, in the first modification of the cooling structure S, the downstream cooling air AR2 flowing downward from the fan 72 flows downward along the front surface of the fan guide 17 and from the communication hole 17E of the fan guide 17. It flows into the space below the control unit 60. Then, the downstream cooling air AR2 that has flowed into the lower side of the control unit 60 flows to the rear side while cooling the lower side of the control unit 60, and flows from the exhaust port 23 on the lower side of the control unit 60 to the motor housing unit 16. It is leaked to the outside of. Therefore, even in the modification 1 of the cooling structure S, the control unit 60 can be cooled by the upstream cooling air AR1 and the downstream cooling air AR2. Therefore, even in the modification 1 of the cooling structure S, the cooling performance can be improved.

Further, in the first modification of the cooling structure S, although the housing is slightly enlarged in order to expand the flow path of the downstream cooling air AR2, the control unit 60 is cooled from the opening 61D side of the case 61 by the downstream cooling air AR2. can do. That is, the control unit 60 can be cooled from both sides in the vertical direction (thickness direction of the control unit 60) by the upstream cooling air AR1 and the downstream cooling air AR2. Therefore, the cooling performance for the control unit 60 can be effectively improved.

(Modification 2 of the cooling structure S) Next, a modification 2 of the cooling structure S will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. The cooling structure S of the second modification has the same configuration as that of the present embodiment except for the following points. That is, in the cooling structure S of the second modification, the exhaust port 23 is formed on the left and right side walls of the motor housing portion 16. Specifically, the exhaust port 23 is formed at six locations on the upper portion and the lower portion of the motor housing portion 16 so as to overlap the rear end portion of the stator 43 of the motor 40 in a side view. It should be noted that only the left side surface portion is shown in the figure, and since the same exhaust port structure is actually provided on the right side surface, a total of 12 exhaust port 23s are formed in the present embodiment.

Further, inside the motor housing portion 16, a partition wall 25 is formed on the rear side of the exhaust port 23, and the space outside the radial direction of the motor 40 is partitioned back and forth by the partition wall 25. That is, in the second modification, the cooling air passage 70 is shielded by the partition wall 25.

Further, in the second modification, the portion of the fan guide 17 other than the front fixing portion 17B is omitted, and the flow path changing portion 26 is formed between the motor 40 and the fan 72. The flow path changing portion 26 has a structure in which a cross section opened to the rear side is formed in a substantially U-shaped plate shape (rib shape) in a side view. Further, an insertion hole 26A penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed in the substantially central portion of the flow path changing portion 26, and the drive shaft 41 of the motor 40 inserts the inside of the insertion hole 26A. That is, the flow path changing portion 26 is a bowl-shaped component having an open bottom portion, and is provided so that the rear edge portion is in contact with or close to the front end portion of the stator 43. Half of the flow path changing portion 26 is provided on one of the pair of split housings 15, and the other half is provided on the other, and is formed by assembling the split housings 15 to each other.

Then, in the second modification, the upstream cooling air AR1 flowing into the motor housing portion 16 from the intake port 22 flows into the motor 40 from the radial inside and the radial outside of the motor substrate 45, and the motor 40 It flows forward inside. Specifically, the upstream cooling air AR1 flows forward through the inside of the stator 43 and the portion between the rotor 42 and the stator 43. Then, the upstream cooling air AR1 flowing inside the motor 40 hits the flow path changing portion 26 and flows to the drive shaft 41 side along the rear surface of the flow path changing portion 26. As a result, the upstream cooling air AR1 flows into the fan 72 from the insertion hole 26A.

Then, the upstream cooling air AR1 flowing into the fan 72 flows out as the downstream cooling air AR2 to the outside in the radial direction of the fan 72. At this time, the downstream cooling air AR2 flows to the exhaust port 23 side. Therefore, the downstream cooling air AR2 flows to the rear side along the front surface of the flow path changing portion 26, and also flows to the rear side on the upper side and the lower side of the motor 40. Then, the downstream cooling air AR2 that has flowed to the rear side on the upper side and the lower side of the motor 40 is exhausted from the exhaust port 23 to the outside of the motor housing portion 16. As described above, in the modified example 2, the motor 40 (stator 43) can be cooled by the upstream cooling air AR1 and the downstream cooling air AR2. Therefore, in the second modification, the motor 40 corresponds to the cooled portion of the present invention, and the cooling performance for the motor 40 can be improved.

Further, in the second modification, the downstream cooling air AR2 flowing to the lower side of the motor 40 flows between the motor 40 and the control unit 60, and is exhausted from the exhaust port 23 to the outside of the motor housing unit 16. Therefore, the control unit 60 and the motor 40 can be cooled by the downstream cooling air AR2.

In the present embodiment, the cooling structure S is applied to the saver saw 10 to cool the control unit 60 and the motor 40 of the saver saw 10, but the cooling structure S may be applied to other working machines. good. Hereinafter, an example in which the cooling structure S is applied to another working machine will be described as a variation of the working machine.

(Variation 1 of the working machine) An example in which the cooling structure S is applied to the circular saw 100 as the working machine will be described with reference to FIG. The circular saw 100 is a tool for cutting a work material. Note that FIG. 13 is a partially broken plan view of the circular saw 100 as viewed from above. The arrows FR and RH shown in FIG. 13 indicate the front side and the right side of the circular saw 100.

The circular saw 100 includes a base 102 and a circular saw main body 104. The base 102 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with the vertical direction as the plate thickness direction. The circular saw main body 104 is arranged above the base 102 and is connected to the base 102. The circular saw main body 104 includes a housing 110 that constitutes the outer shell of the circular saw main body 104, a motor 120 arranged in the housing 110, and a control unit 140 that controls the motor 120. Further, the circular saw main body 104 has a circular saw blade (not shown), and the circular saw blade is covered from above by the saw cover 152. Then, the rotational force of the motor 120 is transmitted to the circular saw blade, and the circular saw blade rotates to cut the material to be machined.

The housing 110 includes a motor housing portion 111 that accommodates the motor 120, and a controller housing portion 112 that is arranged behind the motor housing portion 111 and accommodates the control unit 140. The motor housing portion 111 and the controller housing portion 112 are formed in a concave shape that is open to the right side, and the left portion of the motor housing portion 111 and the left portion of the controller housing portion 112 are partitioned by a partition wall 113. A plurality of intake ports 114 are formed through the front portion of the left wall of the controller housing portion 112, and a plurality of exhaust ports 115 are formed through the rear portion of the left wall of the controller housing portion 112.

The motor 120 is housed in the motor housing portion 111. The motor 120 includes a drive shaft 121 having an axial direction in the left-right direction, a rotor 122 arranged radially outside the drive shaft 121, and a stator 123 arranged radially outside the rotor 122. ing. Further, a ring plate-shaped motor substrate 125 is provided on the right side of the rotor 122 and the stator 123, and the motor substrate 125 is fixed to the stator holder 124 of the stator 123.

At the right end of the drive shaft 121, a fan 130 is integrally rotatable on the right side of the motor substrate 125, and the fan 130 is configured as a centrifugal fan. As a result, the downstream cooling air AR4 generated by the fan 130 flows to the rear side and flows into the right end portion of the controller housing portion 112.

The control unit 140 is housed in the controller housing unit 112. The control unit 140 has a case 142 that constitutes the outer shell of the control unit 140. A control board (not shown) is housed in the case 142, and the motor 120 is connected to the control board. The case 142 has a thickness direction in the front-rear direction, is formed in a substantially box shape open to the front side, and is fixed to the controller housing portion 112. Specifically, the right end portion of the case 142 is fixed to the fixing rib 112A of the controller housing portion 112, the bottom wall of the case 142 is fixed to the fixing rib 112B of the controller housing portion 112, and the left end portion of the case 142 is fixed. It is fixed to the fixed rib 112C and the fixed rib 112D of the controller housing portion 112.

The case 142 extends in the left-right direction in the controller housing portion 112. Specifically, the left end portion of the case 142 is arranged adjacent to the right side of the left wall of the controller housing portion 112, and the right end portion of the case 142 is arranged apart from the rear side of the fan 130. As a result, the inside of the controller housing unit 112 is partitioned in the front-rear direction by the case 142 of the control unit 140. The space on the front side of the control unit 140 in the controller housing unit 112 is configured as the first space 116, and the first space 116 and the outside of the housing 110 are communicated with each other by the intake port 114. On the other hand, the space behind the control unit 140 in the controller housing unit 112 is configured as the second space 117, and the second space 117 and the outside of the housing 110 are communicated with each other by the exhaust port 115. Further, the right end portion of the second space 117 is opened to the front side and is arranged on the rear side of the fan 130.

Then, when the circular saw 100 is operated, the fan 130 rotates around the drive shaft 121 together with the drive shaft 121 of the motor 120. As a result, the upstream cooling air AR3 flows into the first space 116 of the controller housing portion 112 from the intake port 114. The upstream cooling air AR3 flowing into the first space 116 flows to the right side while cooling the opening side of the case 142 in the control unit 140 and hits the fixed rib 112A. The upstream cooling air AR3 that hits the fixed rib 112A flows to the front side (fan 130 side). Then, the upstream cooling air AR3 flows on both sides of the motor substrate 125 in the plate thickness direction and flows into the fan 130 from the left side.

The upstream cooling air AR3 that has flowed into the fan 130 is discharged from the fan 130 to the rear side as the downstream cooling air AR4, and the downstream cooling air AR4 flows into the right end of the second space 117 of the controller housing portion 112. .. The downstream cooling air AR4 flowing in the right end portion of the second space 117 hits the rear wall of the controller housing portion 112 and flows to the exhaust port 115 side. That is, the downstream cooling air AR4 flows to the left in the second space 117 while cooling the bottom wall of the case 142 of the control unit 140. Then, the downstream cooling air AR4 is exhausted from the exhaust port 115 to the outside of the controller housing portion 112.

As described above, also in the round saw 100, the upstream cooling air AR3 flowing into the fan 130 and the downstream cooling air AR4 flowing out from the fan 130 generated in the housing 110 by the rotation of the fan 130 are generated on the upstream side. The control unit 140 is cooled by the cooling air AR3 (suction air) and the downstream cooling air AR4 (exhaust air). Therefore, even in the circular saw 100, the cooling performance for the control unit 140 can be improved. Although not shown, the downstream cooling air AR4 may contain air after cooling the motor 120.

Further, also in the circular saw 100, the control unit 140 is cooled from both sides in the thickness direction by the upstream cooling air AR3 and the downstream cooling air AR4. Thereby, the cooling performance for the control unit 140 can be effectively improved. In the present embodiment, the opening side of the case 142 is positioned in the space through which the upstream cooling air AR3 passes. This is because the circular saw 100 is a tool that mainly processes wood, and the effect of the processed wood pieces on the electronic elements and the like is smaller than that of metal, and the electronic elements exposed from the case 142 are directly upstream cooling air AR3. This is the result of considering the preferential cooling by exposing to.

(Variation 2 of the working machine) An example in which the cooling structure S is applied to the hammer drill 200 as the working machine will be described with reference to FIG. The hammer drill 200 is a tool for drilling or the like in a work material. Note that FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of the hammer drill 200 as viewed from the right side. The arrow UP and the arrow FR shown in FIG. 14 indicate the upper side and the front side of the hammer drill 200.

The hammer drill 200 controls a housing 210 that constitutes the outer shell of the hammer drill 200, a motor 220 housed in the housing 210, a drive mechanism 250 that is driven by the driving force of the motor 220 and has a tip tool attached, and the motor 220. It is configured to include a control unit 240 and the like. When the motor 220 is driven, the driving force transmitted from the motor 220 to the drive mechanism 250 applies a rotational force and a striking force to the workpiece from the tip tool.

The housing 210 is formed in a hollow shape and is formed in a substantially P-shape in the horizontal direction. The housing 210 includes a motor housing portion 211 constituting a lower front end portion of the housing 210 and a controller housing portion 212 arranged on the rear side of the motor housing portion 211, and is configured by a partition wall 213. A partition is provided between the lower portion of the motor housing portion 211 and the lower portion of the controller housing portion 212.

A plurality of intake ports 214 are formed through the front portion of the lower wall of the controller housing portion 212, and a plurality of exhaust ports 215 are formed in the rear portion of the lower wall of the controller housing portion 212.

The motor 220 includes a drive shaft 221 having an axial direction in the vertical direction, a rotor 222 arranged radially outside the drive shaft 221 and a stator 223 arranged radially outside the rotor 222. ing. Further, an annular plate-shaped motor substrate 225 is provided on the upper side of the rotor 222 and the stator 223, and the motor substrate 225 is fixed to the stator holder 224 of the stator 223.

A fan 230 is integrally rotatable on the upper end of the drive shaft 221 on the upper side of the motor substrate 225, and the fan 230 is configured as a centrifugal fan. As a result, the downstream cooling air AR6 generated by the fan 230 flows from the fan 230 to the rear side and flows into the upper end portion of the controller housing portion 212.

The control unit 240 is housed in the controller housing unit 212. The control unit 240 has a case 242 that constitutes the outer shell of the control unit 240. A control board (not shown) is housed in the case 242, and the motor 220 is connected to the control board. The case 242 has a thickness direction in the front-rear direction, is formed in a substantially box shape open to the rear side, and is fixed to the controller housing portion 212.

The case 242 extends in the vertical direction in the controller housing portion 212. Specifically, the lower end portion of the case 242 is arranged close to the upper side of the lower wall of the controller housing portion 212, and the upper end portion of the case 242 protrudes above the partition wall 213. As a result, the inside of the controller housing portion 212 is partitioned in the front-rear direction by the case 242 of the control portion 240. The space on the front side of the control unit 240 in the controller housing unit 212 is configured as the first space 216, and the first space 216 and the outside of the controller housing unit 212 are communicated with each other by the intake port 214. On the other hand, the space behind the control unit 240 in the controller housing unit 212 is configured as the second space 217, and the second space 217 and the outside of the controller housing unit 212 are communicated with each other by the exhaust port 215.

Then, when the hammer drill 200 is operated, the fan 230 rotates around the axis of the drive shaft 221 together with the drive shaft 221 of the motor 220. As a result, the upstream cooling air AR5 flows into the first space 216 of the controller housing portion 212 from the intake port 214. The upstream cooling air AR5 that has flowed into the first space 216 flows upward while cooling the bottom wall of the case 242 of the control unit 240, and flows into the motor housing unit 211 from the upper side of the partition wall 213. The upstream cooling air AR5 that has flowed into the motor housing portion 211 flows upward between the motor substrate 225 and the drive shaft 221 and flows into the fan 230.

The upstream cooling air AR5 that has flowed into the fan 230 is discharged from the fan 230 to the rear side as the downstream cooling air AR6, and the downstream cooling air AR6 flows into the upper end of the second space 217 of the controller housing portion 212. .. The downstream cooling air AR6 flowing to the upper end of the second space 217 hits the rear wall of the controller housing portion 212 and flows downward in the second space 217 while cooling the control unit 240 from the opening side of the case 242. .. Then, the downstream cooling air AR6 is exhausted from the exhaust port 215 to the outside of the controller housing portion 212.

As described above, also in the hammer drill 200, the upstream cooling air AR5 flowing into the fan 230 and the downstream cooling air AR6 flowing out from the fan 230 generated in the housing 210 by the rotation of the fan 230 are generated in the housing 210 to cool the upstream side. The control unit 240 is cooled by the wind AR5 and the downstream cooling wind AR6. Therefore, even in the hammer drill 200, the cooling performance for the control unit 240 can be improved.

Further, also in the hammer drill 200, the control unit 240 is cooled from both sides in the thickness direction by the upstream cooling air AR5 and the downstream cooling air AR6. Thereby, the cooling performance for the control unit 240 can be effectively improved.
