[0036] The shock absorber serves as an intermediate connector between the power output assembly 3 and the housing 1. When the power output assembly 3 is in operation, the shock absorber absorbs the vibration transmitted from the power output assembly 3 to the housing 1, thereby reducing the vibration experienced by the user's hand holding the handle, reducing the load on the operator's hand, improving comfort, and thus improving work efficiency.

[0037] The vibration damping components include a first vibration damper 9 supported on the side of the power output assembly 3 and a second vibration damper 8 disposed on the top or bottom of the power output assembly 3. The first vibration damper 9, supported on the side of the power output assembly 3, has a strong damping effect on the horizontal vibration transmission between the power output assembly 3 and the housing 1. The second vibration damper 8, supported on the top or bottom of the power output assembly 3, has a strong damping effect on the vertical vibration transmission between the power output assembly 3 and the housing 1. Furthermore, the first vibration damper 9 and the second vibration damper 8 also provide some vibration damping effect in other directions.

[0038] This handheld power tool is a hedge trimmer.

[0039] Figures 7-9As shown, specifically, the power output assembly 3 includes a motor 31, a gearbox 26, a transmission assembly, and a tool holder. A sleeve 30 is fixed to the top of the gearbox 26, and the motor 31 is installed inside the sleeve 30. The transmission assembly is located inside the gearbox 26, and the motor shaft of the motor 31 extends into the gearbox 26 and connects to the transmission assembly. The tool holder is fixed to the front end of the gearbox 26, and the blade assembly 7 is mounted on the tool holder. One end of the blade assembly 7 is inserted from the front end of the gearbox 26 and connected to the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly receives the power output from the motor 31 and drives the blade assembly 7 to perform linear reciprocating motion. The bottom of the housing 1 has an opening 35 for the gearbox 26 to be installed, and the front of the housing 1 has a front opening 36 for the tool holder to extend out. This structure is configured such that an opening slot for accommodating the power output assembly 3 is opened at the bottom of the housing 1, and the opening slot extends through the front of the housing 1.

[0040] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes an upper connecting rod 32, a lower connecting rod 34, and an eccentric gear 33 driven by a motor 31. The blade assembly 7 includes an upper blade 20 and a lower blade 19. The upper and lower ends of the eccentric gear 33 are respectively connected to the upper connecting rod 32 and the lower connecting rod 34. The other ends of the upper connecting rod 32 and the lower connecting rod 34 are respectively connected to the upper blade 20 and the lower blade 19. The upper connecting rod 32 and the lower connecting rod 34 drive the upper blade 20 and the lower blade 19 to reciprocate linearly.

[0041] The tool holder is connected to the gearbox 26 by bolts 27. The tool holder includes an upper tool holder 22 and a lower tool holder 18. The upper tool holder 22 is connected to the lower tool holder 18 by bolts 27. The upper blade 20 and the lower blade 19 are arranged between the upper and lower tool holders. Both the upper and lower blades are provided with a number of sliding grooves 24. A slider 17, which is slidably fitted with the bolts 27, is provided in the sliding groove 24.

[0042] Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, there are two first damping components 9, which are symmetrically supported on the left and right sides of the gearbox 26. There are two second damping components 8, which are respectively supported on the top of the gearbox 26 and the top of the tool holder. The distribution of this structure, the first damping components 9 and the second damping components 8 form a triangular support structure, which makes the power output assembly 3 more stably connected to the housing 1.

[0043] The top of the housing 1 is provided with a top opening 5 for the sleeve 30 to extend out. A control box 4 is provided at the top opening 5. A circuit board assembly 29 is installed inside the control box 4. The control box 4 is fixedly mounted on the gearbox 26 and / or the sleeve 30. The sleeve 30 for mounting the motor 31 extends out from the top of the housing 1, and the control box 4 is external, which facilitates heat dissipation of the motor 31 and the circuit board assembly 29.

[0044] The control box 4 is fixedly mounted on the gearbox 26 and the sleeve 30 by bolts 27.

[0045] Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, preferably, the shock absorber is a rubber column 25. The housing 1 is provided with a mounting hole 11 for installing the rubber column 25. An annular retaining edge 12 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 11, and an annular retaining groove 13 is provided on the outer wall of the rubber column 25. The annular retaining edge 12 is inserted into the annular retaining groove 13 to fix the rubber column 25 in the mounting hole 11. The fasteners include fastening screws 16, and the rubber column 25 is fixedly connected to the power output assembly 3 by fastening bolts 27. During installation, the rubber column 25 is first inserted into the annular retaining edge 12 of the mounting hole 11 through the annular retaining groove 13, and then the rubber column 25 and the power output assembly 3 are connected by fastening screws 16 to complete the installation. The assembly is convenient and simple.

[0046] The rubber column 25 includes two sections, a first column 37 and a second column 39, with different diameters. The diameter of the first column 37 is larger than that of the second column 39. The first column 37 and the second column 39 are connected by a bevel 38. An annular groove 13 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the first column 37. The end face of the second column 39 is supported on the power output assembly 3. The annular groove 13 is provided on the larger diameter first column 37, ensuring that the wall thickness of the rubber column 25 is not too thin and thus does not affect the overall strength. The first column 37 and the second column 39 are connected by a bevel 38, and the end face of the second column 39 is supported on the power output assembly 3. This structure gives the rubber column 25 stronger support and elasticity in its axial direction. When the power output assembly 3 vibrates, the rubber column 25 can better absorb the vibration in its axial direction to achieve a better shock absorption effect.

[0047] The outer peripheral wall of the second column 39 is provided with an annular protrusion 14, which is opposite to the inner wall of the mounting hole 11. The outer diameter of the annular protrusion 14 is smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 11. In its natural state, there is a gap between the annular protrusion 14 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 11.

[0048] A receiving groove 15 is provided on the end face of the rubber post 25 away from the power output assembly 3, and a through hole 23 is provided on the end face of the rubber post 25 near the power output assembly 3. The through hole 23 communicates with the receiving groove 15, and the fastening screw 16 passes through the through hole 23.

[0049] There are two ways to install the fastening screw 16. In one method, the fastening screw 16 passes through the through hole 23 and is threaded into the power take-off assembly 3. In this method, the head of the fastening screw 16 is housed in the receiving groove 15, and a washer can be placed on the fastening screw 16 to make the connection tighter. In the other method, the fastening screw 16 passes through the power take-off assembly 3 and the through hole 23 in sequence and is threaded into the nut 21 in the receiving groove 15. When there is a gap between the rubber post 25 and the power take-off assembly 3, a shim can be placed between the rubber post 25 and the power take-off assembly 3 to eliminate the gap and form elastic support.

[0050] The fastening screw 16 connecting the tool holder and the shock absorber is shared with the bolt 27 connecting the upper tool holder 22 and the lower tool holder 18.

[0051] The opening of the receiving groove 15 is set as a flared mouth 40, and the larger end of the flared mouth 40 is set on the end face of the rubber column 25. The flared mouth 40 facilitates the installation and removal of the fastening screw 16 or nut.

[0052] The housing 1 is provided with a power socket 10 for connecting a power cord for power supply.

[0053] Regarding the structure of the shock absorber, this patent also provides another solution, in which the shock absorber is a shock absorber spring, preferably a T-shaped spring.

[0054] The aforementioned handheld power tools with shock-absorbing structures are not limited to hedge trimmers; they can be used with other handheld tools as well.

[0055] The above describes the handheld power tool with a shock-absorbing structure provided by this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
