Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric garden tool technology, and in particular to a lubrication system for handheld electric garden tools and a handheld electric chainsaw using the same. Background Technology
[0002] Handheld electric chainsaws are primarily controlled by a control system that powers a motor, which in turn drives the saw chain on the guide plate to rotate cyclically for sawing. Their structure is similar to that described in Chinese invention application CN117245612A, titled "Cutting Tool." The cutting tool is a chainsaw, which includes a main body, handle, guide bar, saw chain, electric motor, power transmission mechanism, and battery pack. The guide bar is a long, thin, plate-like component that protrudes forward from the main body and is mounted on the outer casing. The saw chain is mounted along the periphery of the guide bar; the guide bar is what industry professionals refer to as the saw chain guide plate. The chainsaw uses electricity supplied from the battery pack to power the electric motor, which in turn drives the saw chain along the periphery of the guide bar via the power transmission mechanism.
[0003] To lubricate the saw chain, industry professionals have proposed numerous lubrication designs. For example, the oil tank and oil pump integrated into the main body of the casing, as proposed in Chinese invention application CN117245612A, utilize a worm gear in the power transmission mechanism that meshes with the pump's turbine. When driven by an electric motor, the rotational motion of the motor shaft is transmitted to the oil pump via the reducer, drive shaft, worm gear, and worm wheel of the power transmission mechanism, thus driving the pump. When the pump is activated, lubricating oil is drawn into the oil supply circuit through a suction section located inside the oil tank, and then supplied from the oil supply circuit via a spray section, guide rod, and saw chain.
[0004] Although the invention application CN117245612A proposes to adjust the position and orientation of components such as electric motors, guide rods, and handles so that the center of gravity of the entire chain saw is off-center from the rear of the housing, i.e., biased towards the handle and away from the guide rod, the oil tank is located near the front of the main body of the housing. In other words, the center of gravity of the entire chain saw will be affected by the weight of the oil tank and the lubricating oil contained in the oil tank and will shift forward. Moreover, the more lubricating oil is contained in the oil tank, the more serious the forward tilt of the center of gravity will be, resulting in poor user comfort.
[0005] Furthermore, since the oil pump is installed inside the main body of the housing, when the oil pump needs maintenance or adjustment, the main body of the housing needs to be removed, which is inconvenient for maintenance and adjustment.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need to provide a lubrication system for handheld electric garden tools and a handheld electric chainsaw using the same, in order to at least partially solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0051] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0052] Please see Figure 1-7 In this embodiment of the utility model, the handheld electric garden tool is, for example, a handheld electric chainsaw that can be used to cut tree branches.
[0053] The handheld electric garden tool includes a housing 1, a handle 2 at the proximal end of the housing 1, and a mounting frame at the distal end of the housing 1. A saw chain guide 301 is mounted on the mounting frame, and a saw chain 302 is mounted on the saw chain guide 301. The saw chain guide 301 is mounted on the mounting frame and extends in a direction away from the proximal end of the housing 1.
[0054] A power mechanism for driving the saw chain 302 is installed on the housing 1. The power mechanism includes a motor 4 and a power transmission assembly 5 that transmits the output power of the motor 4 to the saw chain 302 to drive the saw chain 302. A front end and a rear end of the motor 4 are formed in the axial direction. The front end of the motor is located on the housing 1, and the rear end of the motor is oriented to the far end away from the housing and towards or as close as possible to the handle 2.
[0055] The grip handle 2 has a certain grip length to accommodate users with different hand sizes as much as possible. The grip length is the distance from the position where the grip handle 2 is connected to the near end of the housing to the position along the handle of the grip handle 2 away from the near end of the housing.
[0056] The axial direction of motor 4 (which can be understood as the axial direction of the motor's rotation shaft) is parallel to the plane b on which the saw chain guide plate 301 is located, and the grip length direction of the handle 2 is parallel to the plane b on which the saw chain guide plate 301 is located, effectively reducing the side width of the handheld electric garden tool.
[0057] In this embodiment of the invention, the housing 1 has a lubrication system for lubricating the saw chain 302.
[0058] The lubrication system includes an oil supply tank 6 and an oil supply assembly 7, which is used to guide the lubricating oil in the oil supply tank 6 to the saw chain 302.
[0059] In this embodiment of the utility model, the oil supply tank 6 is installed on the housing 1 and located behind the rear end of the motor along the axial direction of the motor 4, so that the overall center of gravity is more biased towards the rear of the motor. That is, relative to the saw chain guide plate 301 and the handle 2, the center of gravity of the chainsaw is closer to the handle.
[0060] The rotating shaft of motor 4 is directed towards the front end of the motor to input power to drive the saw chain 302. The rotating shaft of motor 4 extends towards the rear end of the motor and is connected to a cooling fan wheel 8. There is a heat dissipation gap 9 between the oil supply tank 6 and the rear end of the motor, which is matched with the cooling fan wheel 8.
[0061] When the heat dissipation gap 9 is formed inside the housing 1, the housing 1 has a corresponding heat dissipation port 10. On the one hand, through the heat dissipation fan wheel 8 and the heat dissipation gap 9, the motor 4 can drive the heat dissipation fan wheel 8 to dissipate heat from the motor 4 when it is working, which better ensures the safety and service life of the electrical components. On the other hand, the heat dissipation gap 9 clearly separates the oil supply tank 6 and the rear end of the motor, forming the first stage of air insulation, so that the heat generated by the motor 4 when it is working has little impact on the lubricating oil in the oil supply tank 6.
[0062] Preferably, a protective partition 12 is formed on the housing 1 to separate the oil supply tank 6 from the motor 4, forming a second stage of heat insulation and blocking, so that the heat of the motor 4 can be better blocked in the heat dissipation gap 9, so that the heat of the motor 4 has less impact on the lubricating oil in the oil supply tank 6.
[0063] The cooling fan wheel 8 includes a central part 801 connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 4, and a radial air guide plate 802 connected to the central part 801, wherein the radial air guide plate 802 is positioned between the motor 4 and the oil supply tank 6; the cooling fan wheel 8 also includes multiple fan blades 803 surrounding the central part 801, and the multiple fan blades 803 are located on the side of the radial air guide plate 802 away from the oil supply tank 6.
[0064] The radial air guide plate 802 guides the air radially relative to the axial direction of the motor 4: the air driven by the fan blade 803 enters the center part 801 from the side direction (radial direction of the motor's rotation axis) and then flows to the motor 4 along the axial direction; or, the air driven by the fan blade 803 flows from the motor 4 to the center part 801 along the axial direction of the motor 4 and then flows out from the side direction of the center part 801.
[0065] The heat dissipation vent 10 is positioned on the side of the housing 1 relative to the center 801. The design of the heat dissipation fan wheel 8 and the heat dissipation vent 10 enables a relatively smooth airflow channel for heat dissipation, thereby reducing the impact of the oil supply tank 6 position on the fan's heat dissipation.
[0066] The radial wind guide plate 802 also forms a primary heat insulation setting to reduce the heat radiation from the motor 4 to the protective partition 12 or the oil supply tank 6.
[0067] The oil supply tank 6 has the same length direction as the motor 4. Preferably, the center line of the oil supply tank 6 in the length direction coincides with the extension line of the axis of rotation of the motor 4.
[0068] The side of the fuel tank 6 has a protruding positioning platform 603, which is configured to display the amount of fuel inside the fuel tank 6. For example, the positioning platform 603 is made of a transparent or relatively transparent material.
[0069] The housing 1 can be formed by connecting two halves of the housing. A notch corresponding to the positioning platform 603 is formed between the two halves of the housing. When the two halves of the housing are brought close together and connected, the positioning platform 603 is positioned at the same time. On the one hand, the positioning platform 603 makes the connection of the oil supply tank 6 on the housing 1 more stable. On the other hand, the positioning platform 603 makes it easier to check the oil level inside the oil supply tank 6.
[0070] Preferably, an oil level indicator line can be set on the positioning platform 603 so that the user can quickly determine the oil level ratio in the oil supply tank.
[0071] An oil tank opening 601 is provided on the side of the oil supply tank 6 away from the motor 4, and an oil tank cover 602 is provided on the oil tank opening 601 and is connected to the oil supply tank 6 along the axial direction of the motor 4.
[0072] Furthermore, the fuel tank cap 602 is columnar, with external threads formed on the outer side of the fuel tank cap 602 and corresponding internal threads formed on the inner side of the fuel tank opening 601. The axial screw connection design can reduce the occupation of lateral space.
[0073] The housing 1 is provided with a protective cover 14 for protecting the motor 4 and the oil supply tank 6. The protective cover 14 is joined to the housing 1 along the axial direction of the motor 4 and from the oil supply tank 6 to the motor 4. The protective cover 14 has a window corresponding to the positioning platform 603, an operating port corresponding to the oil tank cover 602, and a protective mesh corresponding to the heat dissipation vent 10.
[0074] The outer side of the housing 1 has a guide rail, and the inner side of the cover 14 has a corresponding guide bar or guide block, so that the cover 14 can be smoothly slid onto the housing 1.
[0075] To prevent the cover 14 from easily detaching from the housing 1, a detachable connection structure is provided between the cover 14 and the housing 1, for example, by connecting the cover to the housing with screws.
[0076] In this embodiment of the present invention, the power transmission component 5 includes a saw chain wheel for cooperating with the saw chain 302. The saw chain wheel is connected to a rotating shaft 504, which is rotatably connected to the housing 1 or the mounting bracket.
[0077] The axis of the rotating shaft 504 is perpendicular to the plane b on which the saw chain guide plate 301 is located. That is, the axis of the rotating shaft 504 is perpendicular to the axis of the motor 4. It can also be understood that the rotation axis of the motor 4 is perpendicular to the rotating shaft 504.
[0078] The power transmission assembly 5 also includes a gear set that connects the rotating shaft of the motor 4 to the rotating shaft 504. The gear set includes a first bevel gear 502 connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 4 and a second bevel gear 503 connected to the rotating shaft 504. The first bevel gear 502 and the second bevel gear 503 mesh to connect the rotating shaft of the motor 4 and the rotating shaft 504, which are perpendicular to each other. When the motor 4 is working and the rotating shaft is rotating, the saw chain wheel can be driven to rotate through the first bevel gear 502, the second bevel gear 503 and the rotating shaft 504, thereby driving the saw chain 302 to perform a "sawing" action.
[0079] In this embodiment of the present invention, the oil supply assembly 7 includes an oil pipe and an oil supply pump 701. An oil pumping drive gear 703 is connected to the oil pumping shaft 702 of the oil supply pump 701. The oil pumping drive gear 703 on the oil pumping shaft 702 is adapted to mesh with a rotatable gear on the power transmission assembly 5 so as to be driven by the gear of the power transmission assembly 5.
[0080] Preferably, the power transmission assembly 5 further includes a worm gear 501 connected to the rotating shaft 504. The oil pump drives the gear 703 to mesh with the worm gear 501. At this time, the axis of the oil pump shaft 702 is parallel or substantially parallel to the plane b where the surface of the saw chain guide plate 301 is located. Figure 3 , 4As shown, the length direction of the oil supply pump body is the same as or substantially the same as the length direction of the oil pump shaft 702. The oil pump shaft 702 is inserted into the oil supply pump body to drive the oil pumping components inside the oil supply pump body, thereby pumping oil.
[0081] In this embodiment of the present invention, a receiving cavity 101 for accommodating electrical components is formed inside the housing 1. The electrical components are, for example, a motor, a control motherboard, etc., and the oil pump 701 is detachably connected to the outside of the housing 1.
[0082] The oil inlet on the main body of the oil pump is connected to the oil tank 6 via an oil pipe, and the oil outlet on the main body of the oil pump is connected to another oil pipe, which extends the lubricating oil to be released onto the saw chain guide or the saw chain. When the lubricating oil is extended to be released onto the saw chain guide, it can be transferred to the saw chain through the contact between the saw chain guide and the saw chain.
[0083] On the one hand, the housing 1 provides thermal insulation between the electrical components inside the cavity 101 and the oil supply pump 701, making it less likely that the heat generated by the electrical components inside the cavity 101 will affect the oil supply pump 701. Furthermore, the oil supply pump 701, which is installed outside the housing 1, can come into contact with the cooler air outside the housing 1 (relative to the inside of the housing), which is more conducive to ensuring the service life of the oil supply pump 701. On the other hand, since the oil supply pump 701 is installed outside the housing 1, it is more convenient to maintain and adjust it when the oil supply pump 701 of the lubrication system fails.
[0084] An additional protective cover 11 is detachably connected to the outside of the housing 1 to protect the oil supply pump 701. The additional protective cover 11 can be used to provide additional protection for the oil supply pump 701 located outside the housing 1. After the additional protective cover 11 is connected and closed onto the housing 1, in addition to providing additional protection for the oil supply pump 701, the additional protective cover 11 can also protect the adjacent oil pipes, as well as the worm gear 501 and the oil pump drive gear 703.
[0085] The main body of the oil pump has a first fixed side wing, indicated as a first fixed part 704, and a second fixed side wing, indicated as a second fixed part 705.
[0086] A first fixing hole is passed through the first fixed side wing, and a positioning hole is passed through the second fixed side wing. Both the first fixing hole and the positioning hole pass through the corresponding fixed side wing in a direction perpendicular to plane b.
[0087] The outer side of the housing 1 is formed with a screw post corresponding to the first fixing hole. A first connecting screw 706 is disposed on the screw post. The screw of the first connecting screw 706 passes through the first fixing hole and is screwed onto the screw post. When the first connecting screw 706 is screwed onto the screw post and is continuously screwed in, the nut of the first connecting screw 706 presses the first fixing side against the end face of the screw post along the axial direction of the screw post.
[0088] The first connecting screw 706 is used to fasten the first fixing wing, which has the first fixing hole, to the threaded post, and to engage the first fixing wing to the housing 1 in a direction perpendicular to plane b. The axial direction of the threaded post is also perpendicular to plane b.
[0089] The housing 1 has an abutment portion formed thereon, and a positioning post 707 that mates with a positioning hole is formed on the abutment portion. An internal threaded hole 708 is formed on the end of the positioning post 707 away from the abutment portion. The additional protective cover 11 has a second connecting post corresponding to the second fixed side wing formed thereon, and a second fixing hole corresponding to the positioning post 707 is formed through the second connecting post.
[0090] A second connecting screw (not shown) is screwed onto the internal threaded hole 708. After the positioning hole is fitted onto the positioning post 707: the screw of the second connecting screw passes through the second fixing hole from the outside of the additional protective cover 11 and is screwed onto the internal threaded hole. As the second connecting screw is screwed into the internal threaded hole and continuously screwed in, the nut of the second connecting screw drives the second connecting post to press the second fixing wing against the abutment part along the axial direction of the positioning post 707. That is, the second connecting screw is configured such that when the additional protective cover 11 is engaged to the housing 1 in a direction perpendicular to plane b, the second fixing wing is simultaneously engaged to the housing 1 in a direction perpendicular to plane b. The axial direction of the positioning post is also perpendicular to plane b.
[0091] A first positioning part 709 is formed on the side of the oil pump body corresponding to the additional protective cover 11. A first positioning groove corresponding to the first positioning part 709 is recessed on the additional protective cover 11. After the additional protective cover 11 is connected to the housing 1, the first positioning part 709 is positioned and engaged in the first positioning groove. A second positioning part is formed on the side of the oil pump body away from the first positioning part. A second positioning groove corresponding to the second positioning part is formed on the housing. When the oil pump is connected to the outside of the housing, the second positioning part is positioned and engaged in the second positioning groove. With the above connection method, when the oil pump 701 and the additional protective cover 11 are securely connected, the lateral space occupied by the chainsaw is minimized.
[0092] When removing and installing the fuel pump 701, the connection between the additional protective cover 11 and the fuel pump body allows for a faster process from removing the additional protective cover 11 to completely removing the fuel pump 701. Furthermore, when connecting the fuel pump 701, the positioning action of the positioning post 707 and the positioning hole makes it easier for the first connecting screw 706 to be aligned and screwed onto the screw hole post.
[0093] The design, through the aforementioned connection method, allows the oil pump 701 to be subjected to two different engagement forces: one is the direct clamping force exerted by the connecting fastener (first connecting screw) on the oil pump 701 (the first fixed side wing formed thereon); the other is the indirect clamping force exerted by the connecting fastener (second connecting screw) on the oil pump 701 (the second fixed side wing formed thereon) through an intermediate component (an additional protective cover with a second connecting post). In saw chains that generate frequent and large-amplitude vibrations during such operations, this connection structure can effectively prevent the oil pump 701 from loosening, resulting in better connection stability.
[0094] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, after the oil supply pump 701 is securely connected, the axial arrangement of the positioning pin 707 and the first connecting screw 706 effectively eliminates the influence of the force applied by the worm gear 501 to the oil pump drive gear 703 on the connection stability of the oil supply pump 701 when the worm gear 501 drives the oil pump drive gear 703.
[0095] In this embodiment of the utility model, when the chainsaw is powered by a storage battery 13, the storage battery 13 can be connected to the handle 2, and a gas flow channel corresponding to the motor 4 is provided inside the handle 2, and a corresponding heat dissipation hole is opened on the handle 2. A heat dissipation channel is formed by the heat dissipation hole, the gas flow channel, the outside and / or inside of the motor, the heat dissipation gap, and the heat dissipation port, so that the heat dissipation fan wheel 8 can also act on the heat dissipation of the storage battery 13, and the storage battery 13 can also make the overall weight more rearward and closer to the handle 2.
[0096] Preferably, some electrical components can be placed on the heat dissipation channel, so that other electrical components can be cooled by forced fan at the same time.
