Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric tools, in particular to an electric chain saw. Background Art

[0002] Power tools are very commonly used tools in our daily life. There are many brands and types, and the competition is fierce. Manufacturers and users are very sensitive to prices.

[0003] Power tools use two types of motors: brushless and brushed. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Brushless DC motors: Because they eliminate carbon brushes, they offer low noise, require no maintenance, have a low failure rate, and a long service life. They also offer relatively stable operating time and voltage, and minimize interference with radio equipment. However, they are expensive, resulting in high equipment costs. Brushed DC motors: They offer fast starting, timely braking, smooth speed regulation, simple control, a simple structure, and a low price. The key is affordability. Currently, manufacturers of power tools, such as electric chain saws, produce two types simultaneously: one with a brushed motor and the other with a brushless motor. Due to the significant design differences between these two motors, not only do they require different mounting locations and supporting components, but they also require corresponding molds, which undoubtedly increases production complexity and costs.
