[0045] The power tools 100 provided in this application embodiment include, but are not limited to, electric screwdrivers, electric drills, electric wrenches, and electric hammers.

[0046] In related technologies, some power tools 100 place the fuse 50 directly at the dead point of the control board or battery 40, increasing the difficulty of maintaining or repairing the fuse 50.

[0047] Currently, in order to facilitate the maintenance or repair of the fuse 50, the fuse 50 is located at the handle housing 12. However, there is a possibility that the fuse 50 may be damaged due to the high-frequency vibration when the power tool 100 is working.

[0048] Based on this, this application provides an electric tool 100, which has a limiting part 60 protruding from its surface on the inner wall of the handle housing 12. The limiting part 60 is used to limit the position of the fuse 50 in the handle housing 12, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of damage to the fuse 50 caused by the high-frequency vibration generated when the electric tool 100 is working, and further improving the safety of the electric tool 100.

[0049] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides an embodiment of an electric tool 100, which includes a housing 10, an output shaft 20, a motor 30, a battery 40, a controller, and a fuse 50.

[0050] The outer casing 10 includes a main casing 11 and a handle casing 12 for gripping. The main casing 11 houses components such as a motor 30, an output shaft 20, and a reduction mechanism 80. The output shaft 20 outputs torque and rotates under the driving force of the motor 30, and the reduction mechanism 80 is used to transmit the driving force of the motor 30 to the output shaft 20.

[0051] The battery 40 is electrically connected to the motor 30 and is used to power the motor 30. The battery 40 is connected to or housed within the handle housing 12. The battery 40 provided in this embodiment is a DC power source, including but not limited to a rechargeable battery. Exemplarily, the rechargeable battery is a lithium-based battery or a nickel-cadmium battery. Furthermore, the voltage of the rechargeable battery 40 can be 4V, 12V, 20V, 48V, etc. The battery 40 is detachably connected to or housed within the handle housing 12 to facilitate replacement with a new battery 40.

[0052] The controller controls the working state of the motor 30 based on the instructions issued by the user operating the power tool 100. For example, when the user triggers the start switch, the controller sends a start command to the motor 30 to control the motor 30 to start working; when the user triggers the stop switch, the controller sends a stop command to the motor 30 to control the motor 30 to stop working.

[0053] One end of the fuse 50 is connected to the battery 40, and the other end is connected to the controller. When the current in the power tool 100 exceeds the rated current of the fuse 50, the fuse 50 will melt, thereby cutting off the electrical connection between the battery 40 and the controller and preventing the power tool 100 from being damaged due to overload.

[0054] In this embodiment, a protruding limiting part 60 is provided on the inner wall of the handle housing 12. The limiting part 60 is used to limit the position of the fuse 50 in the handle housing 12. This can greatly reduce the occurrence of damage to the fuse 50 caused by high-frequency vibration generated when the power tool 100 is working. In addition, limiting the position of the fuse 50 by the limiting part 60 can also facilitate the wiring of the fuse 50 and other wires in the handle housing 12, and improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the handle housing 12.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the power tool 100 further includes a carrier plate 70 connected to the limiting portion 60, and the carrier plate 70 is used to carry the fuse 50. Using the carrier plate 70 to carry the fuse 50 not only limits the fuse 50, but also improves the flexibility of the fuse 50 wiring.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the fuse 50 is embedded within the carrier plate 70. Further, the fuse 50 is welded to the carrier plate 70 to ensure a secure connection between the fuse 50 and the carrier plate 70.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the limiting part 60 is a protrusion 61 protruding from the surface of the handle housing 12, and the carrier plate 70 is connected to the protrusion 61. The protrusion 61 provided on the inner wall surface of the handle housing 12 facilitates connection with the carrier plate 70.

[0058] Furthermore, the protrusions 61 on the inner wall surface of the handle housing 12 are injection molded together with the handle housing 12, which does not increase the manufacturing process of the handle housing 12.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the protrusion 61 includes a first rib 611 and a second rib 612, and the two ends of the carrier plate 70 are respectively connected to the first rib 611 and the second rib 612.

[0060] It can be understood that a first rib 611 and a second rib 612 are provided on the inner wall surface of the handle housing 12. The first rib 611 and the second rib 612 respectively limit the two ends of the carrier plate 70, which can improve the connection between the carrier plate 70 and the first rib 611 and the second rib 612.

[0061] Furthermore, the first rib 611 is provided with a first limiting groove 6111, the second rib 612 is provided with a second limiting groove 6121, and the two ends of the carrier plate 70 are respectively connected to the first limiting groove 6111 and the second limiting groove 6121.

[0062] The first limiting groove 6111 and the second limiting groove 6121 can limit the position of the carrier plate 70 relative to the first protrusion 611 and the second protrusion 612, further improving the connection between the carrier plate 70 and the first protrusion 611 and the second protrusion 612.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, the first limiting groove 6111 and / or the second limiting groove 6121 are U-shaped. The U-shaped first limiting groove 6111 and / or the second limiting groove 6121 facilitate the installation of the carrier plate 70, improve the installation effect of the carrier plate 70, and also improve the connection firmness between the carrier plate 70 and the first protruding rib 611 and the second protruding rib 612.

[0064] It should be noted that the carrier plate 70 in this embodiment is a square structure, which can match the first limiting groove 6111 and / or the second limiting groove 6121 of the U-shaped structure. When the structure of the carrier plate 70 can also be other structures, the shapes of the first limiting groove 6111 and the second limiting groove 6121 can be changed according to the shape of the carrier plate 70.

[0065] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The first limiting groove 6111 and the second limiting groove 6121 are arranged opposite to each other. The opposite arrangement of the first limiting groove 6111 and the second limiting groove 6121 can reduce the space occupied by the carrier plate 70, further improve the space utilization of the handle housing 12, and also improve the connection effect between the carrier plate 70 and the first protrusion 611 and the second protrusion 612.

[0066] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The length direction of the carrier plate 70 forms an angle with the edge contour direction of the handle housing 12 near the carrier plate 70, and the degree of the angle is less than 30°.

[0067] The angle between the length direction of the carrier plate 70 and the edge contour direction of the handle housing 12 is less than 30°, which can make better use of the ribbon cable and improve the space utilization of the handle housing 12.

[0068] Preferably, the length direction of the carrier plate 70 is parallel to the edge contour direction of the handle housing 12 to further improve the convenience of cable routing and improve the space utilization of the handle housing 12.

[0069] The carrier plate 70 is in hard contact with the first rib 611 and the second rib 612. The high-frequency vibration generated during the operation of the power tool 100 can easily affect the connection between the carrier plate 70 and the first rib 611 and the second rib 612.

[0070] Based on this, an elastic damping element is connected between the carrier plate 70 and the first rib 611 and the second rib 612. The elastic damping element enables a soft connection between the carrier plate 70 and the first rib 611 and the second rib 612, which can greatly reduce the situation where the high-frequency vibration generated when the power tool 100 is working causes the pins to loosen, thereby leading to circuit failure.

[0071] Elastic damping components include, but are not limited to, sponges, rubber, and felt.

[0072] Preferably, the elastic damping element is bonded to the carrier plate 70 and the surfaces of the first rib 611 and the second rib 612 using an adhesive, thereby achieving the connection between the elastic damping element and the carrier plate 70, as well as the connection between the elastic damping element and the first rib 611 and the second rib 612. Furthermore, the carrier plate 70 is connected to the first rib 611 and the second rib 612 and abuts against the surface of the elastic damping element, ensuring a firm connection between the elastic damping element and the carrier plate 70, the first rib 611, and the second rib 612.

[0073] It should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not intended to encompass all possible implementations included in the claims. Various modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Similarly, the various technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined to form other embodiments of this application that may not be explicitly described. Therefore, the above embodiments only illustrate several implementations of this application and do not limit the scope of protection of this patent application.
