Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power tool technology, and specifically relates to an improved power tool handle. Background Technology

[0002] Power tools, especially handheld power tools such as sweepers, hair dryers, and pruning machines, are commonly used equipment in daily life and work. Conventional handheld power tools generally include a handle, a linkage, and a function unit. The handle is used for the user to hold and operate the tool, and it may have a power switch structure for starting and stopping the power tool's function unit.

[0003] In existing power tools, the power switch on the handle is generally a single switch that can start the tool with a single operation. This type of switch poses certain safety hazards and is prone to accidental activation, especially for power tools that are somewhat destructive, where accidental activation can easily cause injury.

[0004] Based on this, this application further designs and improves the handle structure in power tools. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an improved power tool handle.

This structure is simple and compact, has good linkage, and is easy to operate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the elastic reset member includes a first spring for resetting the operating member and a second spring for resetting the switching member, providing an elastic reset force.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting plate is provided in the inner cavity of the handle body. The limiting plate is used to restrict the movement of the first structural member and avoid excessive movement.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the switch is rotatably mounted on the handle body via a pivot, and an anti-disengagement hook is provided on the side of the switch away from the pivot, allowing it to be easily pressed.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the operating member is provided with anti-slip ridges and protrusions to facilitate thumb-push operation.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the handle body is formed by assembling two half-shell structures, and the handle body also includes an electrical switch structure and a corresponding circuit structure.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: it provides an improved power tool handle with a dual-operation switch structure that requires two steps to start the tool, thus avoiding accidental activation. It is also suitable for one-handed operation and is convenient to use. Attached Figure Description
