Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a handheld machine tool according to the specification. Background Technology

[0002] A handheld machine tool having a drive housing, an impact mechanism housing, and a rotary impact mechanism is known from DE 10 2017 211 774 A1. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention relates to a handheld machine tool, comprising: a housing; a drive motor having a drive shaft; a transmission mechanism drivable by the drive shaft, wherein the transmission mechanism has a transmission mechanism housing, a transmission mechanism cover, and a hollow wheel; an intermediate shaft drivable by the transmission mechanism; a support device for supporting the intermediate shaft; and a tool receiving section for receiving insert-type tools. It is proposed that the transmission mechanism is configured to form the support device.

[0004] This invention provides a compact handheld machine tool. Therefore, in the prior art, at least one bearing is always provided for the intermediate shaft. This bearing is typically arranged in the drive housing and / or drive cover. This invention makes it possible to eliminate this separate bearing by having the drive mechanism constitute a support for the intermediate shaft.

[0005] Handheld power tools can be configured as electrically powered handheld power tools. These electrically powered handheld power tools can be configured as grid-connected or battery-powered handheld power tools. For example, a handheld power tool can be configured as a screwdriver, a drilling screwdriver, an impact drilling screwdriver, an impact screwdriver, or a rotary impact screwdriver.

[0006] The housing of the handheld machine tool is configured to at least partially receive the drive motor, transmission, impact mechanism, and tool receiving section. The housing may be configured as a shield housing with two half-covers.

[0007] The handheld machine tool has a drive unit. The drive unit includes a drive motor and a transmission. The drive motor can be an electronically commutated drive motor. In particular, the drive motor can be configured as at least one electric motor. The drive motor is configured such that it can be operated by a manual switch. If the manual switch is operated by the user, the drive motor is turned on and the handheld machine tool is put into operation. If the manual switch is not operated by the user, the drive motor is turned off. Preferably, the drive motor can be electronically controlled and / or regulated to enable reverse operation and preset of a desired rotational speed. In reverse operation, the drive motor can switch between right-hand and left-hand rotation directions. To switch the drive motor in reverse operation, the handheld machine tool can have a rotation direction switching element, in particular a rotation direction switching switch.

[0008] The drive motor has a drive shaft. The drive shaft is supported in the housing by at least one drive shaft bearing. The drive motor can drive a transmission, an impact mechanism, and / or a tool receiver by means of the drive shaft. The drive shaft bearing can be exemplarily constructed as a ball bearing, needle roller bearing, rolling bearing, or sliding bearing. The drive shaft bearing can be arranged on the end of the drive motor facing the tool receiver. The drive shaft bearing can be arranged, particularly axially, between the transmission and the drive motor. The drive shaft can extend into an intermediate shaft. The drive shaft bearing can be arranged in the intermediate shaft such that the drive shaft is supported in the intermediate shaft by means of the drive shaft bearing. Furthermore, additional drive shaft bearings can be provided for supporting the drive shaft. The additional drive shaft bearings can be arranged on the end of the drive motor opposite to the tool receiver. The additional drive shaft bearings can be exemplarily constructed as ball bearings, rolling bearings, or sliding bearings. The drive shaft can have a sealing element. The sealing element can be configured to at least partially seal the transmission and / or impact mechanism relative to the drive motor. The sealing element can be arranged around the drive shaft in the circumferential direction. The sealing element can be connected to a transmission cover or to the drive shaft. The sealing element can be fitted into the teeth of the drive shaft. The sealing element can have corresponding teeth. The sealing element can be axially arranged between the drive motor (especially the spacer element of the drive motor rotor) and the transmission (especially the planetary gears or planetary gears).

[0009] The drive shaft is configured to drive a transmission. The transmission can be configured as at least one planetary transmission, wherein it can be, for example, shiftable. In the case of a shiftable transmission, switching between at least two gear levels can be performed by means of at least one gear shifting element, particularly a gear shifting switch. The transmission can have a transmission housing and a transmission cover. The transmission can have a hollow wheel. The hollow wheel can, in particular, axially abut against the transmission housing. The transmission cover is configured to at least partially close the transmission housing. Furthermore, the transmission cover can be configured to at least partially fit into the hollow wheel. Here, the transmission cover can be configured to at least partially fit into the inner circumference of the hollow wheel.

[0010] Handheld machine tools may have an impact mechanism. This impact mechanism generates high torque peaks during operation to loosen or tighten fixed connections or to drill holes. The impact mechanism may be connected to a drive motor via a transmission. The impact mechanism may be configured as, for example, a rotary impact mechanism, a ratchet impact mechanism, a rotating impact mechanism, a V-groove impact mechanism, or a hammering mechanism. The transmission and / or the impact mechanism may have an intermediate shaft. For example, the intermediate shaft may receive planetary gears from the transmission. It is possible that the intermediate shaft has a planet carrier for receiving the planetary gears from the planetary transmission. Furthermore, the intermediate shaft may at least partially drive the impact mechanism. The impact mechanism may have an impact mechanism housing and / or an impact mechanism cover. It is possible that the transmission housing and the impact mechanism housing, as well as the transmission cover and the impact mechanism cover, are integral. Furthermore, the impact mechanism may have a striker, at least one impact mechanism spring, at least one impact mechanism ball, and at least one impact cam. Here, the striker and the impact mechanism spring may be substantially arranged within the impact mechanism housing. The impact mechanism spring can be exemplarily constructed as a helical spring, barrel spring, conical spring, chimney spring, or profile spring. The impact mechanism cover can be arranged, particularly axially, between the impact mechanism (especially the striker and the impact mechanism spring) and the drive motor. The impact mechanism ball configuration is used to connect the striker to the intermediate shaft. For example, two impact mechanism balls can be provided. Furthermore, the impact mechanism has an anvil with an anvil body and at least one anvil cam. For example, two anvil cams can be constructed. The impact mechanism is configured such that the striker drives the anvil cam via an impact cam. When the striker rotates during the non-impact operation of the impact mechanism, this rotation is transmitted to the anvil cam via the impact cam. During the impact operation of the impact mechanism, the impact cam strikes the anvil cam in the circumferential direction to continue driving the anvil cam. For example, two impact cams can be provided. The tool receiver can be connected to the anvil. It is feasible that the tool receiver constitutes the anvil. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the tool receiver and the anvil are integral.

[0011] The intermediate shaft can be driven by a transmission. The intermediate shaft may have a guide element. The guide element may be configured to guide the impactor. The intermediate shaft has the guide element. The guide element is configured to guide the impactor of the impact mechanism at least axially. Here, the guide element is configured such that it guides the impactor both in the non-impact operation and in the impact operation of the impact mechanism. When the impactor is tightened during the operation of the impact mechanism, the guide element axially guides the impactor toward the transmission or drive motor. The guide element may be configured, for example, as a cylindrical or hollow cylindrical shape. The guide element has a guide surface. The guide surface is configured such that the impactor can be guided at least axially on the guide surface. The guide surface may be constructed on the outer periphery of the intermediate shaft.

[0012] A centering device can be provided, configured to center the intermediate shaft. This centering device ensures the intermediate shaft is centered both during non-impact operation and during impact operation. The intermediate shaft can be centered relative to the tool axis. The centering device can be constructed on the intermediate shaft and / or on the tool receiving section. The diameter of the guide element and the diameter of the centering device are substantially the same. It is also conceivable that these two diameters are identical. Here, a small deviation of up to 2 mm between these two diameters should also be understood as identical.

[0013] The transmission mechanism is designed to form a support device. Therefore, a separate intermediate shaft bearing can be omitted.

[0014] The handheld power tool has a tool receiving section. The tool receiving section can be configured as an internal tool receiving section, such as a bit receiving section, and / or as an external tool receiving section, such as a socket receiving section. It is also conceivable that the tool receiving section is configured as a drill chuck. The tool receiving section can receive insert tools, such as screwdriver bits or socket wrenches, allowing the user to establish a threaded connection of the fastening element with a fastening bracket. The handheld power tool can have a tool axis. Here, the axis of rotation of the tool receiving section can constitute the tool axis. In particular, "axial" should be understood as substantially parallel to the tool axis, while "radial" should be understood as substantially perpendicular to the tool axis. The tool receiving section can be rotatably supported in the impact mechanism housing and / or the transmission housing by means of a tool receiving section support element. The tool receiving section support element can be configured, for example, as a sliding bearing or at least one ball bearing. It is feasible that the tool receiving section has, for example, two or three tool receiving section support elements.

[0015] Additionally, the handheld machine tool includes an energy supply unit configured for battery operation, particularly a handheld machine tool battery pack, and / or grid operation. In a preferred embodiment, the energy supply unit is configured for battery operation. Within the scope of this invention, "handheld machine tool battery pack" should be understood as a combination of at least one battery cell and a battery pack housing. The handheld machine tool battery pack is advantageously configured to supply energy to a commercially available battery-operated handheld machine tool. The at least one battery cell may, for example, be a lithium-ion battery cell with a nominal voltage of 3.6 V. Exemplarily, a handheld machine tool battery pack may include up to ten battery cells, wherein other numbers of battery cells are also conceivable. The implementation of a battery-operated handheld machine tool and its operation as a grid-operated handheld machine tool are well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore the details of the energy supply unit are not discussed in detail here.

[0016] The handheld power tool may have at least a control unit for controlling the drive unit. The control unit may be located within the housing, for example, in the handle of the handheld power tool or in the area of ​​the power supply interface.

[0017] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the support device has an axial support device that is at least partially, particularly axially, constructed between the intermediate shaft and the drive cover. Here, axial can be understood as relative to the tool axis and / or relative to the drive shaft. The axial support device enables axial support of the intermediate shaft. The axial support device is configured such that the intermediate shaft can be arranged relative to the drive cover.

[0018] In one embodiment of a handheld machine tool, the axial support device has at least one support element configured in a circumferential direction relative to the drive shaft. The support element may be configured on an intermediate shaft, planetary carrier, and / or transmission cover. It is feasible for the support element to be connected to the intermediate shaft, planetary carrier, and / or transmission cover, wherein, it is also conceivable, that it is integral. The support element may be configured in a circumferential direction relative to the drive shaft or relative to the tool axis. The support element may be configured as at least partially surrounding a ring, web, or protrusion.

[0019] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, a support element is radially arranged between the drive shaft and the hollow wheel. Here, radial should be understood as radial relative to the tool axis or relative to the drive shaft. The support element can be radially arranged and constructed on an intermediate shaft between the drive shaft and the hollow wheel. Alternatively, the support element and the intermediate shaft can be integral. It is conceivable that the support element is radially arranged between the drive shaft and the planetary gear pins. Here, the planetary pins are constructed to rotatably arrange the planetary gears on the planet carrier.

[0020] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the axial support device has at least one support receiving portion configured to receive a support element. The support receiving portion can be arranged and / or constructed on the drive cover, intermediate shaft, and / or planetary carrier. Alternatively, the support receiving portion can be integral with the drive cover, intermediate shaft, and / or planetary carrier. The support receiving portion can receive the support element such that the intermediate shaft is supported relative to the drive cover. Here, the support element and the support receiving portion enable low-friction support of the intermediate shaft. The support receiving portion can be constructed in the circumferential direction relative to the drive shaft. The support receiving portion can be constructed as a support surface. Here, the support surface can be constructed in the form of a substantially flat surface, for example, constructed as an annular or disc-shaped surface. The support receiving portion can be constructed, for example, by the drive cover. Here, the support receiving portion and the drive cover can thus be integral. Alternatively, the support element can be constituted by a separate component. The separate component can be, for example, annular. Furthermore, the separate component can be axially arranged between the drive cover and the intermediate shaft (especially the planetary carrier). Accordingly, the drive cover can here have a receiving portion for the separate component.

[0021] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the axial support device has at least one additional support element, wherein the support element is radially arranged between the drive shaft and the additional support element. The additional support element may also be arranged in a circumferential direction relative to the drive shaft. The additional support element may be constructed similarly to the support element. The support receiving portion may be configured to receive both the support element and the additional support element.

[0022] In one embodiment, the support device has at least one lubricant receiver configured to receive lubricant from the support device. The lubricant receiver can receive a lubricant, such as a lubricant, like a transmission grease. The lubricant receiver can be radially arranged between the support element and another support element. The lubricant receiver can, for example, be configured as a groove that at least partially surrounds the support. The lubricant receiver can be arranged and / or configured on the intermediate shaft, planetary carrier, and / or transmission cover. Alternatively, the lubricant receiver can be integral with the intermediate shaft, planetary carrier, and / or transmission cover.

[0023] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the support device has a radial support device, which is at least partially, particularly radially, constructed between the intermediate shaft and the hollow wheel. The radial support device enables radial support of the intermediate shaft within the transmission housing. The support device includes both axial and radial support devices.

[0024] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, at least one planetary gear and a hollow wheel of the transmission are configured to constitute the radial support device. The transmission may be configured as a planetary transmission, wherein the planetary transmission has at least one planetary gear. It is feasible to provide multiple planetary gears for the planetary transmission, such as two, three, or more than three planetary gears. Three planetary gears are provided exemplarily here. Here, the planetary gears and hollow wheel are configured such that they constitute the radial support device, thereby receiving radial forces during the operation of the intermediate shaft and introducing them into the transmission housing. Radial support is substantially indirectly provided through these three planetary gears.

[0025] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, at least one width of the planetary carrier flange of the drive is less than or substantially equal to at least one width of the planetary gears of the drive. The planetary carrier flange is, in this context, the flange of the planetary carrier of the drive. Alternatively, the planetary carrier flange may also be the intermediate shaft flange. The planetary gears, in addition to their width, also have a planetary gear diameter.

[0026] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the opening of the transmission cover is smaller than or substantially equal to the opening of the intermediate shaft. The transmission cover has a central opening. The drive shaft is guided into the transmission through said central opening. The intermediate shaft also has a central opening. The drive shaft is guided into the transmission through the central opening of the intermediate shaft. The diameter of the opening of the transmission cover is smaller than or substantially equal to the diameter of the opening of the intermediate shaft. The openings of the transmission cover and the intermediate shaft are arranged axially adjacent to each other. The opening of the intermediate shaft may have a ramp, where the diameter of the opening of the intermediate shaft increases from the motor side to the tool side.

[0027] In one embodiment, the centering device and the anvil are arranged to at least partially overlap each other. The centering device and the anvil (especially the anvil cam) overlap at least partially, especially axially. The intermediate shaft may be arranged to at least partially overlap with the anvil, especially the anvil cam.

[0028] In one embodiment, the centering device has a centering receiver configured to at least partially surround the intermediate shaft. The anvil may at least partially constitute the centering device. The centering receiver may be configured as a centering notch. The centering receiver may be configured opposite to a tool receiver. The centering receiver may be configured, for example, in a can shape, a cover shape, or a disc shape. The diameter of the centering receiver may be substantially the same as the diameter of the guide element, allowing the intermediate shaft to be received by the guide element. Simultaneously, the intermediate shaft may also rotate relative to the tool receiver. The centering receiver may at least partially surround the intermediate shaft, particularly the guide element, such that they are arranged to overlap each other in sections, particularly axially. The centering receiver may be radially arranged between the intermediate shaft and the impactor, particularly the impact cam.

[0029] In one embodiment, the centering device has a centering flange configured to at least partially abut against the intermediate shaft. The centering flange may be configured on an anvil. The centering flange may be, for example, annular or configured as a surrounding web. The centering flange may at least partially abut against the intermediate shaft, particularly a guide element. Centering of the intermediate shaft can thus occur. The tool receiver can be centered by a tool receiver support element, such that centering of the intermediate shaft is achieved by means of the centering flange. The centering flange may at least partially surround the centering receiver. An anvil cam may be axially arranged and / or configured between the centering flange and the tool receiver. The centering device with the centering receiver and the centering flange provides a sufficiently long guide length for the intermediate shaft to ensure centering.

[0030] In one embodiment, the centering flange can be arranged to at least partially overlap with the striker. The centering flange can be constructed on the anvil. Here, the centering flange can be, for example, annular or configured as a circumferential web. The centering flange can be arranged overlapping with the striker, especially the impact body, during non-impact operation. The centering flange can extend into the closed diameter of the striker in the striker position. The centering flange can be arranged radially between the intermediate shaft and the striker, especially the impact body.

[0031] In one embodiment, the intermediate shaft has at least one abutment element configured to at least partially abut against the centering device and receive at least the axial force of the centering device. The abutment element may be configured on an end side of the intermediate shaft. The end side may point in the direction of the tool receiving portion. Exemplarily, the abutment element may be at least partially configured as annular. Alternatively, the abutment element may also be configured as a web. The abutment element abuts against the centering device such that the axial force can be transmitted from the tool receiving portion through the centering device to the intermediate shaft. The axial force can then be further transmitted through the intermediate shaft to the transmission housing. The abutment element may abut directly against the centering device. For this purpose, the centering receiving portion may receive the abutment element. The abutment element can then abut within the centering receiving portion.

[0032] In one embodiment, the abutment element is arranged to at least partially overlap with the anvil. The abutment element is arranged to at least partially overlap axially with the anvil, particularly the anvil cam. This overlap between the abutment element and the anvil cam allows for a more compact structural form.

[0033] In one embodiment, the intermediate shaft has a compensating element configured to compensate for imbalance. The compensating element may be configured as a tapered bore in the intermediate shaft. The compensating element improves concentricity accuracy and reduces imbalance.

[0034] In one embodiment, the centering device has a centering element configured to at least partially engage with an intermediate shaft. The centering element may be an anvil. Alternatively, the centering element and the anvil may be integral. The centering element may, for example, be configured as a centering cone. The centering element may at least partially engage with a compensating element of the intermediate shaft. The centering element may abut against the compensating element of the intermediate shaft. Thus, the centering cone can abut against a tapered bore and additionally center the intermediate shaft. The abutting element of the intermediate shaft may at least partially surround the centering element in the circumferential direction.

[0035] In one embodiment, the centering device has a collecting element configured to collect at least some lubricating material. The collecting element may be an anvil. The collecting element may, for example, be configured as a blind hole with a centering aperture. The collecting element enables the lubricating material to be collected at least partially within the impact mechanism. Furthermore, the collecting element achieves higher concentricity accuracy. The collecting element may be configured opposite a compensating element.

[0036] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, a transmission cover is at least partially disposed within a hollow wheel. The hollow wheel has an inner circumference and an internal space. The transmission cover is at least partially disposed within said inner circumference and said internal space. The transmission cover is configured to close the hollow wheel in the direction of the drive motor.

[0037] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the drive cover has a drive receiver configured to at least partially receive the planetary carrier of the drive. The drive cover may constitute the drive receiver. The drive receiver may be configured, for example, as a cover, can, or disc. The drive cover and the drive receiver may be integral. The drive receiver may receive the planetary carrier of the drive at least partially and at least sectionally. The planetary carrier and the drive receiver may be spaced apart from each other and / or abut against each other. An intermediate shaft may constitute the planetary carrier. The drive receiver may also be configured as an intermediate shaft receiver. The intermediate shaft and the intermediate shaft receiver may be spaced apart from each other and / or abut against each other.

[0038] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, particularly in the axial direction, a clearance compensation element is arranged between the drive housing and the hollow wheel. The clearance compensation element is configured to compensate for axial and / or radial clearance. Here, the clearance compensation element compensates for axial clearance by applying an axial force to the hollow wheel, the intermediate shaft, the anvil from the intermediate shaft, and correspondingly to the tool receiving portion. In this way, the axial clearance between the drive housing, the intermediate shaft, and the anvil is reduced, particularly minimized to essentially 0 mm. The clearance compensation element is configured to preload the intermediate shaft relative to the anvil. Furthermore, the clearance compensation element is configured to seal the drive to prevent lubricant leakage. The clearance compensation element is, for example, configured as a spring element, such as an O-ring. The drive housing can be axially arranged between the clearance compensation element and the planetary gears of the planetary drive. The clearance compensation element can rest against the drive receiving portion. The clearance compensation element can be radially arranged between the drive receiving portion and the hollow wheel. Here, the clearance compensation element can radially center the drive housing. Additionally, the clearance compensation element dampens minor movements of the drive housing.

[0039] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the transmission cover is configured to load a step on a hollow wheel. The hollow wheel has at least partially surrounding the step. Here, the hollow wheel can form the step, and it can also be integral. Alternatively, the step on the hollow wheel can also be configured to be surrounding. The step on the hollow wheel is configured towards the drive shaft. Here, the step on the hollow wheel can be configured radially towards the drive shaft. The transmission cover can be configured to load the step on the hollow wheel via a clearance compensation element. The transmission cover can abut against the clearance compensation element. The clearance compensation element can abut against the step on the hollow wheel. It is also conceivable that the transmission cover abuts against the hollow wheel. Here, the hollow wheel can be configured to at least partially axially fix the transmission cover via the step.

[0040] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the outer diameter of the transmission cover is smaller than the root circle diameter of the hollow wheel. The root circle diameter is, in this case, the maximum inner diameter of the hollow wheel. The smaller outer diameter of the transmission cover allows it to be received within the hollow wheel.

[0041] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the transmission cover is configured as a stop disc. The stop disc can be configured, for example, as a thin plate, a disc, an annular shape, a cover, or a dish.

[0042] In one embodiment, the drive cover, particularly the stop plate, has a wall thickness of less than 1.5 mm. The wall thickness of the drive cover can be the same as the wall thickness of the stop plate. Alternatively, the wall thickness of the drive cover can be less than 1 mm.

[0043] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the drive cover, particularly the stop disc, has a gear ring configured to engage with a hollow wheel. The gear ring can be constructed on the outer periphery of the drive cover. Alternatively, the gear ring and the drive cover can be integral. The gear ring can be configured to point radially outward. Thus, the gear ring can be constructed radially toward the housing and / or radially away from the drive shaft. The gear ring of the drive cover can be inserted into the gear ring of the hollow wheel. In this way, the gear ring of the drive cover and the gear ring of the hollow wheel can form a toothed section.

[0044] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, an intermediate shaft support element is arranged between the intermediate shaft and the driveshaft cover. The intermediate shaft support element may be radially arranged between the intermediate shaft and the driveshaft cover. The intermediate shaft support element may be, for example, a ball bearing, a plain bearing, or the like. The intermediate shaft may have a support receiving portion, which may be configured, for example, as a circumferential flange. Planetary gears may be arranged, particularly axially, between the intermediate shaft support element and the driveshaft bearing. The driveshaft cover may have an intermediate shaft support receiving portion. The intermediate shaft support element may be radially arranged between said support receiving portion and the intermediate shaft support receiving portion.

[0045] In one embodiment of the handheld machine tool, the hollow wheel has a tip circle diameter by which the drive cover can be at least partially guided. The tip circle diameter is the minimum diameter of the toothed ring of the hollow wheel. The drive cover can be abutted against the tip circle diameter with an outer diameter. Thus, the drive cover can be guided at least radially. A damping element can be arranged between the drive cover and the hollow wheel. Attached Figure Description
