Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The technology disclosed herein relates to impact tools. [Background technology]

[0002] Known in the technical field of impact tools is a handheld power tool as disclosed in Patent Document 1. In the handheld power tool disclosed in Patent Document 1, a cover that can be fixed to a housing covers a light board and a board cushioning material. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] U.S. Patent No. 8,496,366 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As in the conventional technology, a configuration is often adopted in which the work target is illuminated by an annular LED mounted on the tip of the hammer case, improving workability in the dark. Generally, a transparent resin part is used for the lens to transmit the light of the LED, but with the recent increase in the power output of impact tools, the product vibration and product weight have increased. In the conventional technology, the lens and LED are accommodated in an annular recess provided at the tip of the hammer case, and the hammer case and lens are covered with a hammer case cover to absorb the impact, but in a heavy, high-power product, the hammer case cover cannot completely absorb the impact of the product being dropped, and the outer periphery of the hammer case deforms, crushing the lens and the substrate. That is, since the annular recess is formed by the outer peripheral rib and the lens and substrate are stored in the recess, when the product is dropped, the outer peripheral rib receives the impact through the hammer case cover. In the case of a heavy product, the outer peripheral rib is deformed by the impact, and the lens and substrate inside may be damaged due to the deformation of the outer peripheral rib. In addition, in the conventional technology, an annular recess is provided at the tip of the hammer case, and a damping member, a substrate, and a lens are stored inside the recess. The damping member is provided between the substrate and the floor of the recess and has the function of protecting the substrate from the vibration and heat of the impact, but in this configuration, the lens and substrate are supported so as to be in direct contact with the hammer case, and in high-output products that generate large vibrations, there is a risk that the substrate and lens will be damaged by the vibrations. In addition, the lens is directly supported in the radial direction by the hammer case, and vibration components other than those in the axial direction are propagated to the substrate via the lens.

[0005] The technology disclosed in this specification aims to provide vibration isolation for the light-emitting unit of an impact tool. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] This specification discloses an impact tool. The impact tool may include a motor, a hammer rotated by the motor, an anvil struck in the rotational direction by the hammer, a hammer case that houses the hammer, a light-emitting body unit including a light-emitting body that illuminates a front end side of the anvil, and a radial elastic body that is supported by the hammer case and supports the light-emitting body unit from a radially inner side. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the technology disclosed in this specification, the light-emitting unit of the impact tool is vibration-proofed. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] In one or more embodiments, the impact tool may include a motor, a hammer rotated by the motor, an anvil struck in the rotational direction by the hammer, a hammer case that houses the hammer, a light-emitting unit including a light-emitting element that illuminates the front end side of the anvil, and a radial elastic body supported by the hammer case and supporting the light-emitting element unit from the radially inner side.

[0010] In the above-mentioned configuration, vibration acting in the radial direction on the light emitting unit is damped by the radial elastic body. Since the light emitting unit is vibration-proof, failure of the light emitting unit is suppressed.

[0011] In one or more embodiments, the hammer case may have a first cylindrical portion disposed around the hammer, a second cylindrical portion disposed forward of the first cylindrical portion and having an outer diameter smaller than that of the first cylindrical portion, and a front wall portion connecting a front end portion of the first cylindrical portion and a rear end portion of the second cylindrical portion. The light emitting unit may be disposed around at least a portion of the second cylindrical portion. The radial elastic body may have a radial base portion disposed between the second cylindrical portion and the light emitting unit in the radial direction.

[0012] In the above configuration, vibration acting in the radial direction on the light emitting unit is damped by the radial base portion.

[0013] In one or more embodiments, the radial base portion may have an inner circumferential surface facing the outer circumferential surface of the second cylindrical portion, and a radial rib portion protruding radially inward from the inner circumferential surface. The radial rib portion may contact the outer circumferential surface of the second cylindrical portion.

[0014] In the above configuration, the contact area between the radial elastic body and the second cylindrical portion is small, so that vibration is less likely to be transmitted from the hammer case to the light emitting unit via the radial base portion.

[0015] In one or more embodiments, the radial base portion may contact an inner circumferential surface of the light emitter unit.

[0016] In the above configuration, the light emitter unit does not directly contact the hammer case but contacts the radial base portion, which effectively isolates the light emitter unit from vibration and suppresses damage to the light emitter unit.

[0017] In one or more embodiments, the radial elastic body may have a rear support portion that supports the light emitting body unit from the rear side.

[0018] In the above configuration, vibration acting in the axial direction on the light emitting unit is damped by the rear support portion.

[0019] In one or more embodiments, the rear support portion may have a rear surface facing the front surface of the front wall portion and a first axial rib portion protruding rearward from the rear surface. The first axial rib portion may contact the front surface of the front wall portion.

[0020] In the above configuration, the contact area between the radial elastic body and the front wall portion is small, so that vibrations are less likely to be transmitted from the hammer case to the light emitter unit via the rear support portion.

[0021] In one or more embodiments, the rear support may contact the rear surface of the light emitter unit.

[0022] In the above configuration, the light emitter unit does not directly contact the hammer case but contacts the rear support portion, which effectively isolates the light emitter unit from vibration and suppresses damage to the light emitter unit.

[0023] In one or more embodiments, the radial elastic body may have a front support portion that supports the light emitter unit from the front side.

[0024] In the above configuration, vibration acting in the axial direction on the light emitting unit is damped by the rear support portion.

[0025] In one or more embodiments, the front support may contact the front surface of the light emitter unit.

[0026] In the above-mentioned configuration, the light emitter unit does not directly contact the hammer case but contacts the front support portion, which effectively isolates the light emitter unit from vibration and suppresses damage to the light emitter unit.

[0027] In one or more embodiments, the impact tool may include a fastener fixed to at least a portion of the hammer case and supporting the front support from the front side.

[0028] In the above configuration, the light emitter unit is fixed to the hammer case by the fastener via the front support portion.

[0029] In one or more embodiments, the radial elastic body may be disposed to surround the anvil.

[0030] In the above-mentioned configuration, the light emitting unit is effectively vibration-proofed. Note that the radial elastic body does not have to be annular, and may be separately disposed at a plurality of locations around the anvil.

[0031] In one or more embodiments, the impact tool may include an axially elastic body that supports the light emitter unit from the rear side.

[0032] In the above-mentioned configuration, vibration acting on the light emitting unit in the axial direction is attenuated by the axial elastic body. Since the light emitting unit is vibration-proof, failure of the light emitting unit is suppressed.

[0033] In one or more embodiments, the hammer case may have a first cylindrical portion disposed around the hammer, a second cylindrical portion disposed forward of the first cylindrical portion and having an outer diameter smaller than that of the first cylindrical portion, and a front wall portion connecting a front end portion of the first cylindrical portion and a rear end portion of the second cylindrical portion. The axial elastic body may have an axial base portion disposed between the front wall portion and the light emitter unit in the axial direction.

[0034] In the above configuration, vibration acting in the axial direction on the light emitting unit is damped by the axial base portion.

[0035] In one or more embodiments, the axial base portion may have a rear surface facing the front surface of the front wall portion and a second axial rib portion protruding rearward from the rear surface. The second axial rib portion may contact the front surface of the front wall portion.

[0036] In the above configuration, the contact area between the axial elastic body and the front wall portion is small, so that vibrations are less likely to be transmitted from the hammer case to the light-emitting unit via the axial base portion.

[0037] In one or more embodiments, the axial base portion may contact the rear surface of the light emitter unit.

[0038] In the above-mentioned configuration, the light emitter unit does not directly contact the hammer case but contacts the axial base portion, which effectively isolates the light emitter unit from vibration and suppresses damage to the light emitter unit.

[0039] In one or more embodiments, the axial elastic body may have a cover portion that covers the light emitting body unit from the radially outer side.

[0040] In the above-described configuration, the light emitted radially outward from the light emitting unit is blocked by the cover, so that the worker using the impact tool does not feel dazzled. In addition, the light emitting unit is protected by the cover.

[0041] In one or more embodiments, the cover portion may contact the outer circumferential surface of the light emitter unit.

[0042] In the above-mentioned configuration, the worker is effectively prevented from feeling glare, and the light-emitting unit is effectively protected by the cover portion.

[0043] In one or more embodiments, the impact tool may include a motor, a hammer rotated by the motor, an anvil struck in the rotational direction by the hammer, a hammer case that houses the hammer, a light-emitting unit including a light-emitting element that illuminates the front end side of the anvil, and an axial elastic body supported by the hammer case and having an axial base portion that supports the light-emitting element unit from the rear side and a cover portion that covers the light-emitting element unit from the radially outer side.

[0044] In the above configuration, vibration acting on the light-emitting unit in the radial direction is attenuated by the axial base portion. Since the light-emitting unit is vibration-proof, the failure of the light-emitting unit is suppressed. Furthermore, since the light emitted radially outward from the light-emitting unit is blocked by the cover portion, the worker using the impact tool is prevented from feeling glare. Furthermore, the light-emitting unit is protected by the cover portion.

[0045] In one or more embodiments, a dimension of the cover portion in the radial direction may be smaller than a dimension of the axial base portion in the axial direction.

[0046] In the above configuration, the vibration-isolating function of the axial base portion and the light-shielding and protective functions of the cover portion are maintained, while the increase in size of the axial elastic body is suppressed.

[0047] In one or more embodiments, the impact tool may include a motor, a hammer rotated by the motor, an anvil struck in the rotational direction by the hammer, a hammer case that houses the hammer, a light-emitting unit including a light-emitting body that illuminates the front end side of the anvil, an elastic body supported by the hammer case and having a front support portion that supports the light-emitting body unit from the front side, and a fastener fixed to at least a portion of the hammer case and supporting the front support portion from the front side.

[0048] In the above configuration, vibrations acting on the light-emitting unit are damped by the elastic body. Since the light-emitting unit is vibration-proof, failure of the light-emitting unit is suppressed. The light-emitting unit is fixed to the hammer case by a fastener via the front support part. Although vibrations of the hammer case may be transmitted to the fastener, since the front support part made of an elastic body is disposed between the fastener and the light-emitting unit, the front support part suppresses the vibrations of the hammer case from being transmitted to the light-emitting unit.

[0049] In one or more embodiments, the impact tool may include a motor, a hammer rotated by the motor, an anvil struck in the rotational direction by the hammer, a hammer case that houses the hammer, a light-emitting body unit including a light-emitting body that illuminates the front end side of the anvil, and an elastic body supported by the hammer case and supporting the light-emitting body unit from at least three sides, namely, the radially inner side, the radially outer side, the rear side, and the front side.

[0050] In the above-mentioned configuration, vibrations acting on the light emitting unit in the light direction and the axial direction are damped by the elastic body. Since the light emitting unit is vibration-proof, breakdowns of the light emitting unit are suppressed.

[0051] In one or more embodiments, the hammer case may have a first cylindrical portion disposed around the hammer, a second cylindrical portion disposed forward of the first cylindrical portion and having an outer diameter smaller than that of the first cylindrical portion, and a front wall portion connecting a front end portion of the first cylindrical portion and a rear end portion of the second cylindrical portion. In a cross section passing through the rotation axis of the anvil and parallel to the rotation axis, each of the elastic body and the light emitting body unit may be disposed radially inward of a line connecting the front end portion of the first cylindrical portion and the front end portion of the anvil.

[0052] In the above configuration, when the impact tool falls onto the floor or the ground, the front end of the first cylindrical portion or the front end of the anvil hits the floor or the ground, thereby preventing the light emitter unit from hitting the floor or the ground, thereby preventing the light emitter unit from breaking down.

[0053] In one or more embodiments, the light emitter unit may include a chip-on-board light emitting diode.

[0054] In the above configuration, the amount of light emitted from the chip-on-board light-emitting diode is large, so that the work target is brightly illuminated.

[0055] In one or more embodiments, the light emitter unit may include an optical member disposed to face the front surface of the light emitter and through which the light emitted from the light emitter passes.

[0056] In the above configuration, the light emitted from the chip-on-board light-emitting diode is transmitted through the optical member and then irradiated onto the work object.

[0057] In one or more embodiments, the optical member and the substrate of the chip-on-board light emitting diode may be secured together by a fastener.

[0058] In the above configuration, the optical member and the chip-on-board light emitting diode are fixed by a fastener. Since the optical member and the chip-on-board light emitting diode can be fixed without using an adhesive, it is not necessary to set a time for the adhesive to harden in the manufacturing process of the light emitter unit. Furthermore, the optical member and the chip-on-board light emitting diode can be smoothly fixed in the manufacturing process of the light emitter unit.

The anvil bearing 79 is held by the hammer case 6. The anvil bearing 79 is arranged inside the second cylindrical portion 62 of the hammer case 6. The anvil bearing 79 is held by the second cylindrical portion 62 of the hammer case 6.

[0131] In the embodiment, the anvil bearing 79 is a sliding bearing. The anvil bearing 79 is cylindrical. In the embodiment, a sleeve is used as the anvil bearing 79. Note that the sliding bearing may be formed by impregnating a cylindrical porous metal body manufactured by powder metallurgy, for example, with a lubricating oil.

[0132] In a cross section perpendicular to the output rotation axis AX, the outer circumferential surface of the anvil shaft portion 16B has a circular shape. In a cross section perpendicular to the output rotation axis AX, the inner circumferential surface of the anvil bearing 79 has a circular shape.

[0133] A first groove portion 16D is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the anvil shaft portion 16B. The first groove portion 16D is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the anvil shaft portion 16B so as to surround the output rotation shaft AX.

The O-ring 80 is slightly crushed by the inner surfaces of the first groove portion 16D and the groove portion 79A. The O-ring 80 seals the boundary between the anvil shaft portion 16B and the anvil bearing 79.

[0136] The hammer case 6 has a bearing support surface 6A that contacts the front end of the anvil bearing 79. The bearing support surface 6A is provided at the front end of the second cylindrical portion 62. The bearing support surface 6A faces rearward. The bearing support surface 6A presses the anvil bearing 79 from the front. The bearing support surface 6A prevents the anvil bearing 79 from slipping out forward from the hammer case 6. In a plane perpendicular to the output rotation axis AX, the bearing support surface 6A is ring-shaped. An opening at the front end of the second cylindrical portion 62 is defined radially inward from the bearing support surface 6A.

[0137] The front end of the anvil shaft portion 16B is positioned forward of the second cylindrical portion 62 through the opening at the front end of the second cylindrical portion 62. At least a portion of the anvil shaft portion 16B is positioned inside the opening at the front end of the second cylindrical portion 62. A seal member 81 is provided at the front end of the second cylindrical portion 62. The seal member 81 is positioned inside the front end of the second cylindrical portion 62. The seal member 81 seals the boundary between the front end of the second cylindrical portion 62 and the anvil shaft portion 16B. The seal member 81 is positioned forward of the O-ring 80.

[0138] The anvil shaft portion 16B has a second groove portion 16E disposed rearward of the first groove portion 16D. The section modulus of the anvil shaft portion 16B in the second groove portion 16E is smaller than that of the anvil shaft portion 16B in the first groove portion 16D. That is, the section modulus of the anvil shaft portion 16B passing through the second groove portion 16E and perpendicular to the output rotation axis AX is smaller than that of the anvil shaft portion 16B passing through the first groove portion 16D and perpendicular to the output rotation axis AX. In the anvil shaft portion 16B, the second groove portion 16E is the portion having the lowest strength against bending moment. That is, in the anvil shaft portion 16B, the second groove portion 16E is the portion most likely to break when a high load acts on the anvil shaft portion 16B.

[0139] The second groove portion 16E is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the anvil shaft portion 16B. The second groove portion 16E is formed rearward of the first groove portion 16D. The second groove portion 16E is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the anvil shaft portion 16B so as to surround the output rotation shaft AX.

[0140] The depth of the second groove portion 16E is deeper than the depth of the first groove portion 16D. The depth of the second groove portion 16E refers to the dimension of the second groove portion 16E in the radial direction.

[0141] For example, when a high load acts on the anvil shaft portion 16B during fastening work, at least a part of the anvil shaft portion 16B may break. In the embodiment, the second groove portion 16E is provided in the anvil shaft portion 16B. Therefore, when a high load acts on the anvil shaft portion 16B, the anvil shaft portion 16B breaks at the second groove portion 16E.

[0142] If the anvil shaft portion 16B breaks at the second groove portion 16E, there is a possibility that the anvil shaft portion 16B in front of the second groove portion 16E will move forward relative to the hammer case 6. When the anvil shaft portion 16B moves forward, at least a part of the inner surface of the first groove portion 16D and at least a part of the inner surface of the groove portion 79A will get caught on the O-ring 80.

[0143] The front end of the anvil bearing 79 contacts the bearing support surface 6A of the hammer case 6. Even if the anvil shaft portion 16B breaks, the anvil bearing 79 does not move forward relative to the hammer case 6. The O-ring 80 is caught on at least a part of the inner surface of the first groove portion 16D and at least a part of the inner surface of the groove portion 79A. The O-ring 80 also does not move forward relative to the hammer case 6. The anvil shaft portion 16B is caught on the O-ring 80, which does not move forward relative to the hammer case 6. Therefore, when the anvil shaft portion 16B breaks at the second groove portion 16E, the anvil shaft portion 16B is prevented from falling out forward from the hammer case 6. That is, when the anvil shaft portion 16B breaks, the anvil shaft portion 16B in front of the second groove portion 16E is prevented from falling out of the impact tool 1.

The second portion 102 is disposed so as to connect the front end of the first portion 101 and the rear end of the third portion 103. The fourth portion 104 extends in the up-down direction. The fourth portion 104 extends downward from the front end of the third portion 103. The fifth portion 105 extends in the left-right direction.

[0206] The battery housing 3 has a holding recess 36 in which the vibration-proof rubber 100 is disposed. The holding recess 36 is formed to match the shape of the vibration-proof rubber 100 so that the first portion 101, the second portion 102, the third portion 103, the fourth portion 104, and the fifth portion 105 are disposed therein.

[0207] The retaining recesses 36 are provided on the left surface of the left battery housing 3L and the right surface of the right battery housing 3R. The left vibration-proof rubber 100L is placed in the retaining recess 36 provided in the left battery housing 3L. The right vibration-proof rubber 100R is placed in the retaining recess 36 provided in the right battery housing 3R. The protrusions 106 contact the inner surface of the retaining recesses 36. The protrusions 106 reduce the contact area between the vibration-proof rubber 100 and the battery housing 3.

[0208] The main housing 2 has a retaining protrusion 28 that is inserted into the retaining groove 107 of the vibration-proof rubber 100. The retaining protrusion 28 is formed to match the shape of the vibration-proof rubber 100 so that it can be inserted into the retaining groove 107 of the first portion 101, the second portion 102, the third portion 103, the fourth portion 104, and the fifth portion 105.

[0209] The retaining protrusions 28 are provided on the inner surface of the left main body housing 2L and the inner surface of the right main body housing 2R. In the left main body housing 2L, the retaining protrusions 28 are provided so as to protrude to the right from the inner surface (right surface) of the left main body housing 2L. In the right main body housing 2R, the retaining protrusions 28 are provided so as to protrude to the left from the inner surface (left surface) of the right main body housing 2R.

The retaining protrusions 28 of the right main body housing 2R are inserted into the retaining grooves 107 of the right vibration-proof rubber 100R.

[0210] In the embodiment, the first portion 101, the second portion 102, the third portion 103, the fourth portion 104, and the fifth portion 105, which extend in different directions from one another, are integral with each other. Note that the first portion 101, the second portion 102, the third portion 103, the fourth portion 104, and the fifth portion 105 may be separate bodies.

[0211] <Operation of impact tool> Next, the operation of the impact tool 1 will be described. For example, when performing a fastening operation of a work object, a socket used for the fastening operation is attached to the front end of the anvil 16. After the socket is attached to the anvil 16, the operator holds the side handle 7 with the left hand, holds the grip portion 23 with the right hand, and operates the trigger lever 17A with the index finger and middle finger of the right hand so that the trigger lever 17A moves backward. When the trigger lever 17A is operated so as to move backward, power is supplied from the battery pack 43 to the motor 10, the motor 10 is driven, and the light assembly 18 is turned on. The rotor 48 and the rotor shaft 49 are rotated by the driving of the motor 10. When the rotor shaft 49 rotates, the rotational force of the rotor shaft 49 is transmitted to the planetary gear 55P via the first bevel gear 53, the second bevel gear 54, and the sun gear 55S. The planetary gear 55P revolves around the sun gear 55S while rotating, in a state where it meshes with the internal teeth of the internal gear 55I. The planetary gear 55P is rotatably supported by the spindle 14 via a pin 55A. Due to the revolution of the planetary gear 55P, the spindle 14 rotates at a rotational speed lower than the rotational speed of the rotor shaft 49.

[0212] When the spindle 14 rotates while the hammer protrusion 71B and the anvil protrusion 16C are in contact with each other, the anvil 16 rotates together with the hammer 71 and the spindle 14. As the anvil 16 rotates, the fastening operation progresses.

[0213] When a load equal to or greater than a predetermined value acts on the anvil 16 as the fastening operation progresses, the rotation of the anvil 16 and the hammer 71 stops. When the spindle 14 rotates while the rotation of the hammer 71 is stopped, the hammer 71 moves rearward. As the hammer 71 moves rearward, the contact between the hammer protrusion 71B and the anvil protrusion 16C is released. The hammer 71 that has moved rearward moves forward while rotating due to the elastic force of the first coil spring 73 and the second coil spring 74. As the hammer 71 moves forward while rotating, the anvil 16 is struck in the rotational direction by the hammer 71. As a result, the anvil 16 rotates about the output rotation shaft AX with high torque. Therefore, the bolt or nut is tightened with high torque.

[0214] According to the embodiment, the axial elastic body 91 and the radial elastic body 92 suppress the vibration of the hammer case 6 from being transmitted to the light emitting body unit 90. Since the light emitting body unit 90 is vibration-proof, for example, damage to the connection portion by soldering between the substrate 95A and the LED chip 95B and damage to the wiring provided on the substrate 95A are suppressed. In other words, failure of the light emitting body unit 90 is suppressed.

[0215] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, the vibration-proof rubber 100 suppresses the transmission of vibrations of the main body housing 2 to the terminal 44 and the battery pack 43. Since the vibration-proof rubber 100 extends in three directions, the front-rear direction, the up-down direction, and the left-right direction, it can attenuate vibrations applied to the terminal 44 and the battery pack 43 in each of the three directions.

[0216] Furthermore, when the impact tool 1 falls and the battery pack 43 hits the floor or the ground, the battery holder 9 moves forward, causing the battery pack 43 to come into contact with the cushion rubber 46. This reduces the impact acting on the battery pack 43.

[0217] <Effects> As described above, in the embodiment, the impact tool 1 comprises a motor 10, a hammer 71 rotated by the motor 10, an anvil 16 struck in the rotational direction by the hammer 71, a hammer case 6 that houses the hammer 71, an illuminant unit 90 including an LED chip 95B that is an illuminant that illuminates the front end side of the anvil 16, and a radial elastic body 92 supported by the hammer case 6 and supporting the illuminant unit 90 from the radial inside.

[0218] In the above configuration, vibration acting in the radial direction on the light emitting unit 90 is attenuated by the radial elastic body 92. Since the light emitting unit 90 is vibration-proof, failure of the light emitting unit 90 is suppressed.

[0219] In the embodiment, the hammer case 6 has a first cylindrical portion 61 arranged around the hammer 71, a second cylindrical portion 62 arranged forward of the first cylindrical portion 61 and having an outer diameter smaller than that of the first cylindrical portion 61, and a front wall portion 63 connecting a front end portion of the first cylindrical portion 61 and a rear end portion of the second cylindrical portion 62. The light emitter unit 90 is arranged at least partially around the second cylindrical portion 62. The radial elastic body 92 has a radial base portion 92A arranged between the second cylindrical portion 62 and the light emitter unit 90 in the radial direction.

[0220] In the above configuration, vibration acting in the radial direction on the light emitting unit 90 is damped by the radial base portion 92A.

[0221] In the embodiment, the radial base portion 92A has an inner peripheral surface facing the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion 62, and a radial rib portion 92D protruding radially inward from the inner peripheral surface. The radial rib portion 92D contacts the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion 62.

[0222] In the above configuration, the contact area between the radial elastic body 92 and the second cylindrical portion 62 is small, so that vibration is less likely to be transmitted from the hammer case 6 to the light emitting body unit 90 via the radial base portion 92A.

[0223] In the embodiment, the radial base portion 92A contacts the inner circumferential surface of the light emitter unit 90.

[0224] In the above configuration, the light emitting unit 90 is in contact with the radial base portion 92A, not in direct contact with the hammer case 6. This effectively isolates the light emitting unit 90 from vibration, and prevents the light emitting unit 90 from breaking down.

[0225] In the embodiment, the radial elastic body 92 has a rear support portion 92B that supports the light emitting body unit 90 from the rear side.

[0226] In the above configuration, vibration acting on the light emitter unit 90 in the axial direction is damped by the rear support portion 92B.

[0227] In the embodiment, the rear support portion 92B has a rear surface facing the front surface of the front wall portion 63, and a first axial rib portion 92F protruding rearward from the rear surface. The first axial rib portion 92F contacts the front surface of the front wall portion 63.

[0228] In the above configuration, the contact area between the radial elastic body 92 and the front wall portion 63 is small, so that vibration is less likely to be transmitted from the hammer case 6 to the light emitter unit 90 via the rear support portion 92B.

[0229] In the embodiment, the rear support portion 92B contacts the rear surface of the light emitter unit 90.

[0230] In the above configuration, the light emitting unit 90 does not directly contact the hammer case 6 but contacts the rear support portion 92B. This effectively isolates the light emitting unit 90 from vibration, and prevents the light emitting unit 90 from breaking down.

[0231] In the embodiment, the radial elastic body 92 has a front support portion 92C that supports the light emitting body unit 90 from the front side.

[0232] In the above configuration, vibration acting on the light emitter unit 90 in the axial direction is damped by the rear support portion 92B.

[0233] In the embodiment, the front support 92C contacts the front surface of the light emitter unit 90.

[0234] In the above configuration, the light emitting unit 90 does not directly contact the hammer case 6 but contacts the front support portion 92C. This effectively isolates the light emitting unit 90 from vibration, and prevents the light emitting unit 90 from breaking down.

[0235] In the embodiment, the impact tool 1 includes a washer 93 and a ring spring 94 that are fasteners fixed to at least a part of the hammer case 6 and support the front support portion 92C from the front side.

[0236] In the above configuration, the light emitter unit 90 is fixed to the hammer case 6 by a washer 93 and a ring spring 94 via the front support portion 92C.

[0237] In an embodiment, the radial elastic body 92 is disposed to surround the anvil 16 .

[0238] In the above configuration, the light emitting unit 90 is effectively vibration-proofed.

[0239] In the embodiment, the impact tool 1 includes an axial elastic body 91 that supports the light emitting unit 90 from the rear side.

[0240] In the above configuration, vibration acting in the axial direction on the light emitting unit 90 is attenuated by the axial elastic body 91. Since the light emitting unit 90 is vibration-proof, failure of the light emitting unit 90 is suppressed.

[0241] In the embodiment, the hammer case 6 has a first cylindrical portion 61 arranged around the hammer 71, a second cylindrical portion 62 arranged forward of the first cylindrical portion 61 and having an outer diameter smaller than that of the first cylindrical portion 61, and a front wall portion 63 connecting a front end portion of the first cylindrical portion 61 and a rear end portion of the second cylindrical portion 62. The axial elastic body 91 has an axial base portion 91A arranged between the front wall portion 63 and the light emitter unit 90 in the axial direction.

[0242] In the above configuration, vibration acting on the light emitting unit 90 in the axial direction is attenuated by the axial base portion 91A.

[0243] In the embodiment, the axial base portion 91A has a rear surface facing the front surface of the front wall portion 63, and a second axial rib portion 91D protruding rearward from the rear surface. The second axial rib portion 91D contacts the front surface of the front wall portion 63.

[0244] In the above configuration, the contact area between the axial elastic body 91 and the front wall portion 63 is small, so that vibration is less likely to be transmitted from the hammer case 6 to the light emitting unit 90 via the axial base portion 91A.

[0245] In the embodiment, the axial base portion 91A contacts the rear surface of the light emitter unit 90.

[0246] In the above configuration, the light emitting unit 90 is in contact with the axial base portion 91A, not in direct contact with the hammer case 6. This effectively isolates the light emitting unit 90 from vibration, and prevents the light emitting unit 90 from breaking down.

[0247] In the embodiment, the axial elastic body 91 has a cover portion 91B that covers the light emitting unit 90 from the radial outside.

[0248] In the above configuration, the light emitted radially outward from the light emitting unit 90 is blocked by the cover portion 91B, which prevents the worker using the impact tool 1 from feeling glare. In addition, the light emitting unit 90 is protected by the cover portion 91B.

[0249] In the embodiment, the cover portion 91B contacts the outer peripheral surface of the light emitter unit 90.

[0250] In the above-mentioned configuration, the worker is effectively prevented from feeling glare. Moreover, the light emitting unit 90 is effectively protected by the cover portion 91B.

[0251] In an embodiment, the impact tool 1 includes a motor 10, a hammer 71 rotated by the motor 10, an anvil 16 struck in the rotational direction by the hammer 71, a hammer case 6 that houses the hammer 71, an illuminant unit 90 including an LED chip 95B that is an illuminant that illuminates the front end side of the anvil 16, and an axial elastic body 91 supported by the hammer case 6 and having an axial base portion 91A that supports the illuminant unit 90 from the rear side and a cover portion 91B that covers the illuminant unit 90 from the radial outside.

[0252] In the above configuration, vibration acting on the light-emitting unit 90 in the radial direction is attenuated by the axial base portion 91A. Since the light-emitting unit 90 is vibration-proof, failure of the light-emitting unit 90 is suppressed. Furthermore, since the light emitted radially outward from the light-emitting unit 90 is blocked by the cover portion 91B, the worker using the impact tool 1 is prevented from feeling glare. Furthermore, the light-emitting unit 90 is protected by the cover portion 91B.

[0253] In the embodiment, the dimension Db of the cover portion 91B in the radial direction is smaller than the dimension Da of the axial base portion 91A in the axial direction.

[0254] In the above configuration, the vibration isolation function of the axial base portion 91A and the light blocking and protective functions of the cover portion 91B are maintained, while the axial elastic body 91 is prevented from becoming large.

[0255] In an embodiment, the impact tool 1 includes a motor 10, a hammer 71 rotated by the motor 10, an anvil 16 struck in the rotational direction by the hammer 71, a hammer case 6 that houses the hammer 71, an illuminant unit 90 including an LED chip 95B that is an illuminant that illuminates the front end side of the anvil 16, a radial elastic body 92 supported by the hammer case 6 and having a front support portion 92C that supports the illuminant unit 90 from the front side, and a washer 93 and a ring spring 94 that are fasteners fixed to at least a portion of the hammer case 6 and support the front support portion 92C from the front side.

[0256] In the above configuration, vibration acting on the light emitting unit 90 is damped by the radial elastic body 92. Since the light emitting unit 90 is vibration-proof, failure of the light emitting unit 90 is suppressed. The light emitting unit 90 is fixed to the hammer case 6 by the washer 93 and the ring spring 94 via the front support portion 92C. Although vibration of the hammer case 6 may be transmitted to the washer 93 and the ring spring 94, since the front support portion 92C of the radial elastic body 92 is disposed between the washer 93 and the light emitting unit 90, the front support portion 92C suppresses the vibration of the hammer case 6 from being transmitted to the light emitting unit 90.

[0257] In an embodiment, the impact tool 1 includes a motor 10, a hammer 71 rotated by the motor 10, an anvil 16 struck in the rotational direction by the hammer 71, a hammer case 6 that houses the hammer 71, an illuminant unit 90 including an LED chip 95B that is an illuminant that illuminates the front end side of the anvil 16, and an axial elastic body 91 and a radial elastic body 92 that are supported by the hammer case 6 and support the illuminant unit 90 from at least three sides, namely the radially inner side, the radially outer side, the rear side, and the front side.

[0258] In the above configuration, vibrations acting on the light-emitting unit 90 in the radial and axial directions are attenuated by the axial elastic body 91 and the radial elastic body 92. Since the light-emitting unit 90 is vibration-proof, failures of the light-emitting unit 90 are suppressed.

[0259] In the embodiment, the hammer case 6 has a first cylindrical portion 61 arranged around the hammer 71, a second cylindrical portion 62 arranged forward of the first cylindrical portion 61 and having an outer diameter smaller than that of the first cylindrical portion 61, and a front wall portion 63 connecting a front end portion of the first cylindrical portion 61 and a rear end portion of the second cylindrical portion 62. In a cross section passing through the output rotation axis AX of the anvil 16 and parallel to the output rotation axis AX, each of the axial elastic body 91, the radial elastic body 92, and the light emitter unit 90 is arranged radially inward of a line VL connecting the front end portion of the first cylindrical portion 61 and the front end portion of the anvil 16.

[0260] In the above configuration, when the impact tool 1 falls onto the floor or the ground, the front end of the first tube portion 61 or the front end of the anvil 16 hits the floor or the ground, thereby preventing the light emitter unit 90 from hitting the floor or the ground. This prevents the light emitter unit 90 from breaking down.

[0261] In an embodiment, the light emitter unit 90 includes a chip-on-board light emitting diode 95 .

[0262] In the above configuration, the amount of light emitted from the chip-on-board light emitting diode 95 is large, so that the work target is brightly illuminated.

[0263] In the embodiment, the light emitter unit 90 includes an optical member 96 that is disposed so as to face the front surface of an LED chip 95B that is a light emitter, and transmits light emitted from the LED chip 95B.

[0264] In the above configuration, the light emitted from the chip-on-board light emitting diode 95 passes through the optical member 96 and is then irradiated onto the work object.

[0265] In this embodiment, the optical member 96 and the substrate of the chip-on-board light emitting diode 95 are fixed together by a snap fit 96G, which is a fastener.

[0266] In the above configuration, the optical member 96 and the chip-on-board light-emitting diode 95 are fixed by a snap fit 96G. Since the optical member 96 and the chip-on-board light-emitting diode 95 can be fixed without using an adhesive, it is not necessary to provide a time for the adhesive to harden in the manufacturing process of the light-emitting unit 90. Furthermore, the optical member 96 and the chip-on-board light-emitting diode 95 can be smoothly fixed in the manufacturing process of the light-emitting unit 90.
