[0004] [Patent Document 1] US Patent Application Publication No. 2021 / 0143710 [Patent Document 2] International Publication No. 2020 / 049617 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] A dedicated large battery is used in the motor unit of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1. It is desirable to use a versatile small battery.

[0006] In the motor unit of Patent Document 2, the first fan is disposed between the first bearing and the second bearing. Therefore, it is necessary to design the distance between the first bearing and the second bearing to be long. This makes the motor unit larger.

[0007] Furthermore, in the motor unit of Patent Document 2, the first fan is disposed in the accommodation space of the motor housing, which increases the size of the motor housing and therefore the size of the motor unit.

[0008] In addition, in the motor unit, a space may be formed between the control unit and the wall of the main housing on which the battery attachment part is arranged, and it is desirable to effectively utilize the space between the control unit and the wall of the main housing on which the battery attachment part is arranged.

[0009] Furthermore, in the motor unit of Patent Document 2, it is desirable to reduce the size of the motor unit by making the magnet smaller.

[0010] The objective of this specification is to provide at least one of a technology that enables the use of a versatile small battery in the motor unit, a technology that prevents the motor unit from becoming too large, and a technology that enables effective utilization of the space between the control unit and the wall of the main housing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] This specification discloses a motor unit. The motor unit is detachably attached to each of a plurality of types of working units and operates the working units. The motor unit includes a main housing including a storage section having a first wall, a first battery mounting section arranged on the first wall, and a second battery mounting section arranged on the first wall, and a motor arranged inside the storage section and operating the working units. A first battery that supplies power to the motor is attached to the first battery mounting section so as to be slidable along the first wall. A second battery that supplies power to the motor is attached to the second battery mounting section so as to be slidable along the first wall. The storage section is not arranged between the first battery attached to the first battery mounting section and the second battery attached to the second battery mounting section. The first battery has a first side surface. The second battery has a second side surface that faces the first side surface and is arranged parallel to the first side surface when the first battery is attached to the first battery mounting section and the second battery is attached to the second battery mounting section.

[0012] The first battery and the second battery are small batteries with high versatility. According to the above configuration, the first battery is attached to the first battery attachment portion, and the second battery is attached to the second battery attachment portion. This allows the first battery and the second battery, which are small and highly versatile, to be used in the motor unit. In addition, since the first side surface of the first battery faces the second side surface of the second battery in parallel, the motor unit to which the first battery and the second battery are attached can be made smaller than a configuration in which the first side surface of the first battery faces the second side surface of the second battery in parallel.

[0013] This specification also discloses a motor unit. The motor unit is detachably attached to each of a plurality of types of working units and operates the working units. The motor unit includes a main body housing including a storage section having a first wall, a first battery attachment section arranged on the first wall, and a second battery attachment section arranged on the first wall, and a motor arranged inside the storage section and operates the working units.

[0014] The first battery and the second battery are small, versatile batteries. According to the above configuration, the first battery is attached to the first battery attachment portion, and the second battery is attached to the second battery attachment portion. Also, the motor having a maximum output value of 1.5 kW or more and 2.35 kW or less is used to operate a relatively high-output working unit. This makes it possible to operate a relatively high-output working unit by using the small, versatile first battery and the second battery in the motor unit.

[0015] This specification also discloses a motor unit. The motor unit is detachably attached to each of a plurality of types of working units and operates the working units. The motor unit includes a main housing including a storage section having a first wall, a first battery attachment section disposed on the first wall, and a second battery attachment section disposed on the first wall, a motor disposed inside the storage section and operating the working units, and a fixing unit supported by the storage section and including a first fixing section and a second fixing section.

The plurality of types of working units include a first working unit and a second working unit different from the first working unit. The first fixing section is fixed to the first working unit. The second fixing section is fixed to the second working unit.

[0016] The first battery and the second battery are small batteries with high versatility. According to the above configuration, the first battery is attached to the first battery attachment portion, and the second battery is attached to the second battery attachment portion. This allows the first battery and the second battery, which are small and highly versatile, to be used in the motor unit. In addition, the motor unit is fixed to the first working unit via the first fixing portion, and is fixed to the second working unit via the second fixing portion. This allows an increase in the types of working units that can use the motor unit.

[0017] This specification also discloses a working machine. The working machine includes a rammer and a motor unit that is detachably attached to the rammer and operates the rammer. The motor unit includes a main body housing that includes a storage section, a first battery attachment section disposed in the storage section, and a second battery attachment section disposed in the storage section, and a DC motor that is disposed inside the storage section and operates the rammer.

A second battery that supplies power to the DC motor is attached to the second battery attachment section.

[0018] The first battery and the second battery are small batteries with high versatility. According to the above configuration, the first battery is attached to the first battery attachment portion, and the second battery is attached to the second battery attachment portion. This allows the first battery and the second battery, which are small and versatile, to be used in the motor unit to operate the rafter.

[0019] This specification also discloses a motor unit. The motor unit is detachably attached to each of the first working unit and the second working unit, and operates the first working unit and the second working unit. The motor unit includes a motor having a motor shaft and a maximum output value of 1.8 kW or more, a motor housing supporting the motor, a battery mounting portion to which a battery pack is detachably attached, a main body housing accommodating the motor housing, and a first bearing and a second bearing attached to the motor housing and rotatably supporting the motor shaft. The second bearing is disposed rearward of the first bearing. The distance between the front end of the first bearing and the rear end of the second bearing is 115 mm or less.

[0020] According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the motor unit from becoming large, compared to a configuration in which the distance between the front end of the first bearing and the rear end of the second bearing exceeds 115 mm.

[0021] This specification also discloses a motor unit. The motor unit is detachably attached to each of the first working unit and the second working unit, and operates the first working unit and the second working unit. The motor unit includes a motor having a motor shaft, a motor housing having an accommodation space for accommodating the motor and having an air hole, a main body housing having a battery mounting part to which a battery pack is detachably attached and accommodating the motor housing, a fan fixed to the motor shaft and disposed only outside the accommodation space, and a fixing unit including a first fixing part fixed to the first working unit and a second fixing part fixed to the second working unit. When the fan rotates, air passes through the space inside the main body housing and outside the motor housing, the air hole, and the accommodation space in that order.

[0022] According to the above configuration, since the fan is disposed outside the accommodation space, it is possible to prevent the motor housing from becoming large in size, and therefore it is possible to prevent the motor unit from becoming large in size.

[0023] This specification also discloses a motor unit. The motor unit is detachably attached to each of the first working unit and the second working unit, and operates the first working unit and the second working unit. The motor unit includes a motor, a motor housing that supports the motor, a control unit that operates the motor, and a battery attachment section to which a battery pack is detachably attached, and includes a main body housing that accommodates the motor housing and the control unit, a motor electric wire extending from the motor, and a motor connection electric wire extending from the control unit and connected to the motor electric wire. The battery attachment section is disposed on a first wall of the main body housing. A terminal that connects the motor electric wire and the motor connection electric wire is disposed in a space between the first wall and the control unit.

[0024] According to the above configuration, the terminals for connecting the motor wires and the motor connection wires are arranged in the space between the first wall and the battery mounting portion, thereby making it possible to effectively utilize the space between the first wall and the control unit.

[0025] This specification also discloses a motor unit. The motor unit is detachably attached to each of the first working unit and the second working unit, and operates the first working unit and the second working unit. The motor unit includes a motor, a motor housing supporting the motor, a battery mounting section to which a battery pack is detachably attached, a main housing accommodating the motor housing, and a fixing unit including a first fixing section fixed to the first working unit and a second fixing section fixed to the second working unit.

In this embodiment, the configuration of the first battery pack BP1 is the same as the configuration of the second battery pack BP2. Therefore, the following description will be given taking the first battery pack BP1 as an example.

[0139] The first battery pack BP1 includes a chargeable and dischargeable secondary battery, for example, a lithium-ion battery. As shown in FIG. 5, the weight of the first battery pack BP1 is 0.6 kg or more and 2 kg or less. The length of the first battery pack BP1 in the front-rear direction is 115 mm or more and 155 mm or less. The length of the first battery pack BP1 in the left-right direction is 75 mm or more and 85 mm or less. The length of the first battery pack BP1 in the up-down direction is 65 mm or more and 115 mm or less. The volume of the first battery pack BP1 is 500 cm 3 Above 1500cm 3 9, the maximum voltage value of the first battery pack BP1 is 40 V or more and 80 V or less. The rated capacity of the first battery pack BP1 is 4 Ah or more and 40 Ah or less. In a modified example, the configuration of the first battery pack BP1 (i.e., dimensions, maximum voltage value, and rated capacity) may be different from the configuration of the second battery pack BP2 (i.e., dimensions, maximum voltage value, and rated capacity).

[0140] 10, the first battery pack BP1 includes a battery housing 56, a hook 58, a right battery rail 60, and a left battery rail 62. The battery housing 56 accommodates therein cells of a chargeable and dischargeable secondary battery, for example, a lithium ion battery cell.

[0141] The hook 58 is movably attached to the lower surface 56a of the battery housing 56. The hook 58 includes an engagement portion 64 and an operation portion 66. The engagement portion 64 is, for example, an engagement claw. The engagement portion 64 normally protrudes to the outside of the battery housing 56. When the operation portion 66 is pushed into the battery housing 56, the entire engagement portion 64 moves into the inside of the battery housing 56.

[0142] The right battery rail 60 and the left battery rail 62 protrude from the lower surface 56a of the battery housing 56. The right battery rail 60 and the left battery rail 62 extend in the front-rear direction. The right battery rail 60 is aligned with the left battery rail 62 in the left-right direction. In the left-right direction, the engagement portion 64 is disposed between the right battery rail 60 and the left battery rail 62. The right battery rail 60 extends downward from the lower surface 56a of the battery housing 56, then bends and extends to the right. The left battery rail 62 extends downward from the lower surface 56a of the battery housing 56, then bends and extends to the left.

[0143] As shown in FIG. 11, when the first battery pack BP1 is slid in the mounting direction D1, the first battery pack BP1 is guided by the first right rail portion 40 (see FIG. 7) and the first left rail portion 42 (see FIG. 7) and slides on the upper surface 34a of the first truncated pyramid portion 34. The mounting direction D1 is the forward direction. At this time, the right battery rail 60 (see FIG. 10) is slidably engaged with the first right rail portion 40, and the left battery rail 62 (see FIG. 10) is slidably engaged with the first left rail portion 42. When the first battery pack BP1 slides on the upper surface 34a and the engaging portion 64 abuts against the upper surface 34a, the engaging portion 64 is pushed into the inside of the battery housing 56 by the upper surface 34a. The upper surface 34a is formed with a recessed groove 34b recessed from the upper surface 34a. When the engagement portion 64 reaches the recessed groove 34b, it protrudes from the inside of the battery housing 56 to the outside and engages with the upper surface 34a in the recessed groove 34b. This causes the first battery pack BP1 to be attached to the first battery mounting portion 22. When the operation portion 66 is pushed in, the engagement portion 64 comes out of the recessed groove 34b, so that when the first battery pack BP1 is slid in the removal direction D2, the first battery pack BP1 is removed from the first battery mounting portion 22. The removal direction D2 is opposite to the mounting direction D1 and is the rear direction. Although not shown in the figure, the mounting direction in which the second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery mounting portion 24 is the same as the mounting direction D1. Also, the removal direction in which the second battery pack BP2 is removed from the second battery mounting portion 24 is the same as the removal direction D2.

[0144] As shown in FIG. 8, when the first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery mounting portion 22 and the second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery mounting portion 24, the lower surface 56a of the battery housing 56 of the first battery pack BP1 abuts against the first battery mounting portion 22 from above, and the lower surface 56a of the battery housing 56 of the second battery pack BP2 abuts against the second battery mounting portion 24 from above. The left surface 56b of the battery housing 56 of the first battery pack BP1 faces the right surface 56c of the battery housing 56 of the second battery pack BP2 in the left-right direction. The left surface 56b of the battery housing 56 of the first battery pack BP1 is approximately parallel to the right surface 56c of the battery housing 56 of the second battery pack BP2. No wall portion including the storage portion 20 is disposed between the left surface 56b of the battery housing 56 of the first battery pack BP1 and the right surface 56c of the battery housing 56 of the second battery pack BP2. The distance between the left side 56b of the battery housing 56 of the first battery pack BP1 and the right side 56c of the battery housing 56 of the second battery pack BP2 is 175 mm or less.

The control unit 102 includes a board housing 192, a filter member 194 (see FIG. 26), a control circuit board 196 (see FIG. 26), and a board case 197 (see FIG. 26). The board housing 192 includes an outer housing portion 198 and an inner housing portion 199 (see FIG. 26). The outer housing portion 198 defines the outer shape of the control unit 102. The outer housing portion 198 is fixed to the rear end of the support plate 184 by a screw 190. As shown in FIG. 26, the outer housing portion 198 has an internal space 200 therein. The outer housing portion 198 also has an intake port 202. The intake port 202 is located at the rear of the outer housing portion 198. The intake port 202 communicates the interior space 200 with the outside of the substrate housing 192 .

[0181] The inner housing part 199 is disposed in the internal space 200. The inner housing part 199 is disposed in front of the intake port 202. The inner housing part 199 is fixed to the outer housing part 198. The inner housing part 199 has a board accommodating space 203 therein.

[0182] The filter member 194 is disposed in the internal space 200. The filter member 194 is disposed in front of the intake port 202. The filter member 194 blocks the intake port 202. The filter member 194 has fine air holes (not shown) therein. The filter member 194 is made of, for example, a filter material or a foam material. Air flows through the air holes in the filter member 194. The filter member 194 removes foreign matter such as dust that flows with the air as the air flows through the air holes.

[0183] The control circuit board 196 is disposed in the board housing space 203. The control circuit board 196 has a microcomputer and a plurality of switching elements. The switching elements are, for example, IGBTs or MOSFETs. The switching elements are switched between an on state and an off state by being controlled by the microcomputer. The control circuit board 196 is disposed along a surface along the up-down direction and the left-right direction. The control circuit board 196 is disposed in front of the intake port 202. The control circuit board 196 is disposed behind the motor intake port 128 of the rear bracket 112. The control circuit board 196 controls the motor 86 (see FIG. 13). As shown in FIG. 13, the control circuit board 196 is disposed on the central axis 140a of the motor shaft 140. The control circuit board 196 is disposed behind the fan 88. When the motor unit 10 is viewed in the front-rear direction, the control circuit board 196 at least partially overlaps with each of the motor 86 and the fan 88. The motor 86, the fan 88, and the control circuit board 196 are aligned in a line in the front-to-rear direction.

[0184] As shown in FIG. 26, the board case 197 is disposed in the board accommodation space 203. The board case 197 is disposed in front of the intake port 202. The board case 197 is disposed between the control circuit board 196 and the intake port 202. The board case 197 supports the control circuit board 196. The control circuit board 196 is disposed inside the board case 197. The board case 197 is fixed to the inner housing part 199. The board case 197 is provided with a heat dissipation fin 204. The heat dissipation fin 204 has a flat plate shape extending in the up-down direction and the front-rear direction. The inner housing part 199 has a through hole 199a penetrating the rear end of the inner housing part 199, and the heat dissipation fin 204 penetrates the through hole 199a. The heat dissipation fin 204 faces the intake port 202 in the front-rear direction.

[0185] The cylindrical vibration-damping member 104 is disposed in front of the board housing 192 and behind the rear bracket 112. The cylindrical vibration-damping member 104 is made of an elastic material. The material of the cylindrical vibration-damping member 104 is the same as that of the first right vibration-damping member 170 (see FIG. 18). The cylindrical vibration-damping member 104 has a cylindrical shape. Here, the cylindrical shape includes a bellows shape having a circular cross section. The cylindrical vibration-damping member 104 has an air passage 208 therein. The cylindrical vibration-damping member 104 is fixed to the front end of the board housing 192 and the rear end of the rear bracket 112. The front end of the board housing 192 is open, and the cylindrical vibration-damping member 104 surrounds the front end of the board housing 192. The air passage 208 communicates with the internal space 200 via the front end of the board housing 192. The cylindrical vibration-isolating member 104 surrounds the motor intake port 128 of the rear bracket 112. The air passage 208 communicates with the fan accommodating space 126 via the motor intake port 128. As shown in Figure 13, when the motor unit 10 is viewed in the front-rear direction, the air passage 208 at least partially overlaps with each of the motor 86 and the fan 88.

[0186] When the control circuit board 196 controls the motor 86 to operate, the motor shaft 140 rotates and the fan 88 rotates. As shown in FIG. 15, air passes through the intake port 26a and flows from the outside of the motor unit 10 into the accommodation space 18 of the main body housing 12. In the drawing, the flow of air is indicated by an arrow line labeled with the symbol F1. The flowing air flows rearward between the motor housing 84 and the plate member 92, between the plate member 92 and the support plate 184, and between the support plate 184 and the upper wall 20c of the main body housing 12.

[0187] As shown in FIG. 26, the air flows around the outer housing part 198, passes through the intake port 202, and flows into the internal space 200. The air passes through the filter member 194, and flows upward along the heat dissipation fins 204 between the outer housing part 198 and the inner housing part 199. As the air passes through the filter member 194, foreign matter flowing with the air is removed from the air. In addition, as the air flows along the heat dissipation fins 204, the control circuit board 196 is cooled. Next, the air flows forward between the outer housing part 198 and the inner housing part 199, passes through the air passage 208 of the cylindrical vibration-proof member 104 and the motor intake port 128 of the rear bracket 112, and flows from the internal space 200 into the fan accommodating space 126.

[0188] As shown in FIG. 15 , the air that has flowed into the fan accommodating space 126 is sent by the fan 88 in a direction away from the central axis 140a (toward the radial outside of the fan 88). Next, the air flows from the fan accommodating space 126 into the motor accommodating space 122. The air that has flowed into the motor accommodating space 122 flows forward between the inside and outside of the motor 86, thereby cooling the motor 86. The air then passes through the exhaust port 124 of the front bracket 110 and is discharged from the motor accommodating space 122 to the outside of the motor unit 10.

[0189] 2, 3, and 27 to 33, the motor unit 10 is applicable to a plurality of types of working units 4. In Fig. 2, 3, and 27 to 33, the coordinate system is changed to a different coordinate system from the coordinate system related to the motor unit 10 described above for explanation. Specifically, the direction perpendicular to the placement surface P1 is called the up-down direction, the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction is called the front-rear direction, and the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction and the front-rear direction is called the left-right direction.

[0190] As shown in Fig. 27, the motor unit 10 can be attached to a rammer 4a. The rammer 4a is a ground compaction device that compacts the ground. The rammer 4a includes an upper housing 300, a handle unit 302, and a working unit 304. The upper housing 300 includes a fixing base 308 located at the rear upper portion. The fixing base 308 is fixed to the second fixing surface 150a of the motor unit 10.

[0191] Before describing the detailed configuration of the fixing base 308, the detailed configuration of the second fixing part 150 of the motor unit 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 28, the second fixing part 150 has two positioning holes 150b, four first fixing holes 150c, four second fixing holes 150d, and an auxiliary hole 150e. The positioning holes 150b, the first fixing holes 150c, the second fixing holes 150d, and the auxiliary hole 150e are arranged on the second fixing surface 150a. The arrangement of the two positioning holes 150b, the four first fixing holes 150c, the four second fixing holes 150d, and the auxiliary hole 150e is the same as the arrangement of the multiple holes of the engine unit that can be attached to the rammer 4a. Therefore, the motor unit 10 can be used by fixing the second fixing part 150 to the working unit 4 to which the engine unit can be attached.

[0192] Each of the two positioning holes 150b is spaced a certain distance from the central axis 140a of the motor shaft 140. The two positioning holes 150b are arranged at intervals of 180 degrees around the central axis 140a. The two positioning holes 150b are arranged on an orthogonal plane P2.

[0193] Each of the four first fixing holes 150c is spaced a certain distance from the central axis 140a. The four first fixing holes 150c are arranged at 90 degree intervals around the central axis 140a. The distance between the first fixing holes 150c and the central axis 140a is slightly shorter than the distance between the positioning hole 150b and the central axis 140a. Two of the first fixing holes 150c are arranged to the right of the orthogonal plane P2, and the remaining two first fixing holes 150c are arranged to the left of the orthogonal plane P2.

[0194] Each of the four second fixing holes 150d is spaced a certain distance from the central axis 140a. The distance between the second fixing holes 150d and the central axis 140a is longer than the distance between the positioning hole 150b and the central axis 140a. Two of the second fixing holes 150d are disposed to the right of the orthogonal plane P2, and the remaining two second fixing holes 150d are disposed to the left of the orthogonal plane P2. The auxiliary hole 150e is slightly farther from the central axis 140a than the second fixing holes 150d.

[0195] 29, the fixing base 308 has two positioning holes 308a and four fixing holes 308b. The arrangement of the two positioning holes 308a and the four fixing holes 308b is the same as the arrangement of the two positioning holes 150b and the four second fixing holes 150d of the second fixing part 150.

[0196] As shown in FIG. 29 and FIG. 30, when the second fixing part 150 is fixed to the fixing base 308, first, the two positioning pins 309a are inserted into the positioning holes 308a and 150b. As a result, the second fixing part 150 is positioned relative to the fixing base 308. As a result, the fixing hole 308b faces the second fixing hole 150d. Next, the four screws 309b are inserted into the fixing holes 308b and screwed into the second fixing holes 150d. As a result, the second fixing part 150 is fixed to the fixing base 308 in a state where it is positioned relative to the fixing base 308. When the second fixing part 150 is fixed to the fixing base 308, the motor shaft 140 of the motor unit 10 protrudes downward from the main body housing 12.

[0197] As shown in FIG. 2, the handle unit 302 includes a first handle 310, a second handle 312, and a third handle 314. The first handle 310 extends rearward from the upper end of the upper housing 300, then bends to extend rightward, and then bends to extend forward. The first handle 310 surrounds the motor unit 10. The second handle 312 extends upward from the upper end of the upper housing 300, then bends to extend rightward, and then bends to extend downward. The third handle 314 extends forward and downward from the upper end of the upper housing 300, then bends to extend rightward, and then bends to extend rearward and upward. The first handle 310, the second handle 312, and the third handle 314 are integrally formed. At least one of the first handle 310, the second handle 312, and the third handle 314 is held by a user during work.

[0198] As shown in FIG. 27, the working unit 304 includes an extendable unit 320, a ground leveling unit 322, a shaft receiving unit 324, and a drive unit 326. The extendable unit 320 is fixed to the lower part of the upper housing 300. The extendable unit 320 is extendable. The ground leveling unit 322 is disposed below the upper housing 300. The upper part of the ground leveling unit 322 is surrounded by the extendable unit 320. The ground leveling unit 322 is fixed to the extendable unit 320. The ground leveling unit 322 includes a ground leveling plate 328 located at the lower end. The ground leveling plate 328 comes into surface contact with the placement surface P1.

[0199] The shaft receiving portion 324 and the driving portion 326 are disposed inside the upper housing 300. The shaft receiving portion 324 is fixed to the motor shaft 140 of the motor unit 10. The driving portion 326 is fixed to the shaft receiving portion 324. The driving portion 326 operates the ground leveling portion 322 when the motor shaft 140 rotates. This repeatedly executes a moving away operation that moves the ground leveling portion 322 away from the mounting surface P1 and an approaching operation that moves the ground leveling portion 322 closer to the mounting surface P1. The ground leveling plate 328 is repeatedly pressed against the mounting surface P1, thereby hardening the mounting surface P1, such as the ground.

[0200] As shown in Fig. 31, the motor unit 10 can be attached to a plate compactor 4b. The plate compactor 4b is a ground compaction device that compacts the ground. The force with which the plate compactor 4b compacts the ground is smaller than the force with which the rammer 4a compacts the ground. The plate compactor 4b includes a base 350, a handle unit 352, a transmission device 354, and a working unit 356.

[0201] The base 350 includes a fixing base 360. The fixing base 360 ​​is fixed to the first fixing surface 148a of the motor unit 10.

[0202] Before describing the detailed configuration of the fixing base 360, the detailed configuration of the first fixing portion 148 of the motor unit 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 32, the first fixing portion 148 has a first positioning hole 148b, a second positioning hole 148c, a first fixing hole 148d, and a second fixing hole 148e. The first positioning hole 148b, the second positioning hole 148c, the first fixing hole 148d, and the second fixing hole 148e are arranged on the first fixing surface 148a. The first positioning hole 148b, the second positioning hole 148c, the first fixing hole 148d, and the second fixing hole 148e penetrate the first fixing portion 148 in the up-down direction. The arrangement of the first positioning hole 148b, the second positioning hole 148c, the first fixing hole 148d, and the second fixing hole 148e is the same as the arrangement of the holes of the engine unit that can be attached to the plate compactor 4b. In addition, the distance between the first fixing surface 148a and the central axis 140a of the motor shaft 140 (see FIG. 28) is the same as the distance between the fixing surface of the engine unit and the shaft of the engine. Therefore, the motor unit 10 can be used by fixing the first fixing part 148 to the working unit 4 to which the engine unit can be attached.

[0203] The first positioning hole 148b and the second positioning hole 148c are disposed at the front end of the first fixing portion 148. The first positioning hole 148b and the second positioning hole 148c are aligned in the left-right direction. The first positioning hole 148b is a round hole. The second positioning hole 148c is an elongated hole extending in the left-right direction.

[0204] The first fixing hole 148d and the second fixing hole 148e are disposed at the rear end of the first fixing portion 148. The first fixing hole 148d and the second fixing hole 148e are aligned in the left-right direction. The first fixing hole 148d and the first positioning hole 148b are aligned in the front-rear direction. The shape of the first fixing hole 148d is substantially the same as the shape of the first positioning hole 148b. The second fixing hole 148e and the second positioning hole 148c are aligned in the front-rear direction. The shape of the second fixing hole 148e is substantially the same as the shape of the second positioning hole 148c.

[0205] The fixed base 360 ​​has a first positioning protrusion 361a, a second positioning protrusion 361b, a first fixing hole 361c, and a second fixing hole 361d. The first positioning protrusion 361a and the second positioning protrusion 361b protrude upward from an upper surface 360a of the fixed base 360. The first positioning protrusion 361a and the second positioning protrusion 361b have a cylindrical shape. The first positioning protrusion 361a and the second positioning protrusion 361b are aligned in the left-right direction.

[0206] The first fixing hole 361c and the second fixing hole 361d are aligned in the left-right direction. The first fixing hole 361c and the first positioning protrusion 361a are aligned in the front-rear direction. The second fixing hole 361d and the second positioning protrusion 361b are aligned in the front-rear direction.

[0207] The first fixing hole 361c includes a first long hole portion 361c1 extending in the front-rear direction and a first round hole portion 361c2 disposed at the lower end of the first long hole portion 361c1. The second fixing hole 361d includes a second long hole portion 361d1 extending in the front-rear direction and a second round hole portion 361d2 disposed at the lower end of the second long hole portion 361d1.

[0208] When the first fixing part 148 is fixed to the fixing base 360, first, the first positioning protrusion 361a is inserted into the first positioning hole 148b, and the second positioning protrusion 361b is inserted into the second positioning hole 148c. This positions the first fixing part 148 relative to the fixing base 360. In addition, since the second positioning hole 148c is an elongated hole, the first fixing part 148 can be positioned relative to the fixing base 360 ​​even when the distance between the first positioning protrusion 361a and the second positioning protrusion 361b varies from product to product. Next, the screw 362a is inserted from the upper side of the first fixing part 148 into the first fixing hole 361c and the first elongated hole portion 361c1, and screwed into the first round hole portion 361c2. Next, the screw 362a is inserted from above the first fixing portion 148 into the second fixing hole 361d and the second long hole portion 361d1, and screwed into the second round hole portion 361d2. Next, the two nuts 362b are screwed into the first positioning protrusion 361a and the second positioning protrusion 361b, respectively. As a result, the first fixing portion 148 is fixed to the upper surface 360a of the fixing base 360 ​​in a state where it is positioned relative to the fixing base 360. When the first fixing portion 148 is fixed to the fixing base 360, the motor shaft 140 of the motor unit 10 extends in the left-right direction.

[0209] 3, the handle unit 352 includes a first handle 364 and a second handle 366. The first handle 364 extends from the rear end of the base 350 to the upper rear side, then bends and extends to the right, and further bends and extends to the lower front side. The first handle 364 is disposed on the rear side of the motor unit 10. The first handle 364 is gripped by the user during work.

[0210] The second handle 366 extends upward from the rear end of the base 350, then bends to extend forward and upward, further bends to extend forward, and further bends to extend downward. The second handle 366 is disposed so as to surround the motor unit 10. The second handle 366 is gripped by a user, for example, when lifting the plate compactor 4b.

[0211] 31 , the transmission device 354 includes a first pulley 370, a belt 372, and a second pulley 374. The first pulley 370 is fixed to the motor shaft 140. The belt 372 is stretched between the first pulley 370 and the second pulley 374. The second pulley 374 is disposed forward of the first pulley 370.

[0212] The working unit 356 includes a vibrator 378 and a leveling plate 380. The vibrator 378 is fixed to the second pulley 374. When the second pulley 374 rotates, the vibrator 378 operates the leveling plate 380. This causes the leveling plate 380 to move up and down. The leveling plate 380 is repeatedly pressed against the support surface P1, thereby hardening the support surface P1, such as the ground.

[0213] When the rammer 4a (see FIG. 27) and the plate compactor 4b operate, the rammer 4a and the plate compactor 4b vibrate. As a result, the vibration of the rammer 4a and the plate compactor 4b is transmitted to the motor unit 10 via the motor shaft 140. As shown in FIG. 22, the vibration transmitted to the motor shaft 140 is transmitted from the motor 86 to the motor housing 84. Next, the vibration is transmitted from the motor housing 84 to the plate member 92, and then to the vibration-proof part 94. When vibrations are transmitted to the vibration-isolating part 94, the first right vibration-isolating member 170, the second right vibration-isolating member 172 (see FIG. 18), and the third right vibration-isolating member 174 (see FIG. 18) elastically deform in the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction between the right wall 154a of the plate member 92 and the right cover member 96, and the first left vibration-isolating member 176, the second left vibration-isolating member 178 (see FIG. 18), and the third left vibration-isolating member 180 (see FIG. 18) elastically deform in the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction between the left wall 154b of the plate member 92 and the left cover member 98. This dampens the vibrations, and the transmission of the vibrations to the right cover member 96 and the left cover member 98 is suppressed. This prevents vibrations from being transmitted to the battery pack BP (see FIG. 4) via the main housing 12, and also prevents vibrations from being transmitted to the control circuit board 196 (see FIG. 26) of the control unit 102 via the support unit 100.

[0214] 26, the vibrations transmitted to the motor housing 84 are transmitted to the cylindrical vibration-damping member 104. When the vibrations are transmitted to the cylindrical vibration-damping member 104, the cylindrical vibration-damping member 104 elastically deforms in the up-down, left-right, and front-rear directions between the motor housing 84 and the board housing 192. This dampens the vibrations and suppresses their transmission to the board housing 192. As a result, the vibrations are suppressed from being transmitted to the control circuit board 196.

[0215] As shown in FIG. 33, the motor unit 10 can be attached to a slope grass cutter 4c. The slope grass cutter 4c is a device for cutting grass. The slope grass cutter 4c includes a housing 400, a pair of front wheels 402, a pair of rear wheels 404, a handle unit 406, and a working unit 408. The housing 400 includes a fixing base 412 located at an upper portion. The fixing base 412 is fixed to a second fixing surface 150a of the motor unit 10. The motor shaft 140 of the motor unit 10 protrudes downward from the main housing 12.

[0216] The pair of front wheels 402 are rotatably supported on the front part of the housing 400. The pair of rear wheels 404 are rotatably supported on the rear part of the housing 400. As the pair of front wheels 402 and the pair of rear wheels 404 rotate, the slope grass mower 4c moves on the mounting surface P1.

[0217] The handle unit 406 includes a fixed frame 416, a handle 418, and a trigger 420. The fixed frame 416 has a substantially U-shape. Both ends of the fixed frame 416 in the longitudinal direction are fixed to the housing 400.

[0218] The handle 418 is attached to the upper part of the fixed frame 416. A user moves the slope grass mower 4c by gripping the handle 418 and pushing it forward.

[0219] The trigger 420 is rotatably attached to the handle 418. The trigger 420 is operated by a user's hand holding the handle 418 so as to approach the handle 418. When the trigger 420 is operated, the motor 86 of the motor unit 10 operates.

[0220] The working unit 408 includes a connecting portion 424, a transmission shaft 426, and a blade 428. The connecting portion 424 connects the motor shaft 140 and the transmission shaft 426.

[0221] The transmission shaft 426 extends in the vertical direction. The transmission shaft 426 rotates integrally with the motor shaft 140 around a central axis 140a that extends in the vertical direction.

[0222] The blade 428 is fixed to the lower end of the transmission shaft 426. The blade 428 rotates around the central axis 140a together with the transmission shaft 426. This causes the grass to be cut.

[0223] (effect) The motor unit 10 of this embodiment is detachably attached to each of a plurality of types of working units 4, and operates the working units 4. The motor unit 10 includes a main body housing 12 including an accommodation section 20 having an upper wall 20c (an example of a first wall), a first battery mounting section 22 arranged on the upper wall 20c, and a second battery mounting section 24 arranged on the upper wall 20c, and a motor 86 arranged inside the accommodation section 20 and operates the working unit 4. A first battery pack BP1 (an example of a first battery) that supplies power to the motor 86 is attached to the first battery mounting section 22 so as to be slidable along the upper wall 20c. A second battery pack BP2 (an example of a second battery) that supplies power to the motor 86 is attached to the second battery mounting section 24 so as to be slidable along the upper wall 20c. The accommodation section 20 is not disposed between the first battery pack BP1 attached to the first battery mounting section 22 and the second battery pack BP2 attached to the second battery mounting section 24. The first battery pack BP1 has a left surface 56b (an example of a first side surface). The second battery pack BP2 has a right surface 56c (an example of a second side surface) that faces the left surface 56b and is arranged parallel to the left surface 56b when the first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery mounting portion 22 and the second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery mounting portion 24.

[0224] The first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 are small batteries with high versatility. According to the above configuration, the first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery mounting portion 22, and the second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery mounting portion 24. This allows the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2, which are small and versatile, to be used in the motor unit 10. In addition, since the left surface 56b of the first battery pack BP1 faces the right surface 56c of the second battery pack BP2 in parallel, the motor unit 10 to which the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 are attached can be made smaller than a configuration in which the left surface 56b of the first battery pack BP1 does not face the right surface 56c of the second battery pack BP2 in parallel.

[0225] In addition, when the first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery mounting portion 22 and the second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery mounting portion 24, the motor unit 10 does not have a wall portion disposed between the left surface 56b of the first battery pack BP1 and the right surface 56c of the second battery pack BP2.

[0226] According to the above configuration, the motor unit 10 to which the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 are attached can be made even smaller.

[0227] Furthermore, when the motor unit 10 is placed on the placement surface P1, the upper wall 20c is disposed above the motor 86.

[0228] The motor 86 is a heavy component. The weight of the motor 86 is greater than the weight of the first battery pack BP1 and the weight of the second battery pack BP2. According to the above configuration, the heavy motor 86 can be disposed at a position closer to the placement surface P1 than the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2.

[0229] The upper wall 20c also has an upper surface 34a (an example of a first surface) on which the first battery mounting portion 22 and the second battery mounting portion 24 are disposed.

[0230] According to the above configuration, the first battery pack BP1 can be easily attached to the first battery attachment portion 22, and the second battery pack BP2 can be easily attached to the second battery attachment portion 24.

[0231] The motor unit 10 is further provided with an elastically deformable vibration isolating portion 94 (an example of a vibration isolating member) that is disposed between the motor 86 and the main body housing 12.

[0232] According to the above configuration, it is possible to suppress the transmission of vibrations from the motor 86 to the main body housing 12. This makes it possible to suppress the transmission of vibrations to the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2.

[0233] The motor unit 10 further includes a motor housing 84 that houses the motor 86, and a plate member 92 that is fixed to the motor housing 84. The vibration isolating portion 94 is fixed to the plate member 92 and the main housing 12.

[0234] If the vibration-proof portion 94 were directly fixed to the motor housing 84, the configuration of the motor housing 84 would be complicated. With the above-described configuration, the configuration of the motor housing 84 can be prevented from becoming complicated.

[0235] In addition, the motor unit 10 is arranged inside the accommodating section 20 and further includes a control unit 102 that controls the motor 86, and a support unit 100 that supports the control unit 102 and is fixed to the plate member 92 via a vibration-isolating section 94.

[0236] According to the above configuration, the transmission of vibrations to the control unit 102 can be suppressed.

[0237] Each of the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 may include a hook 58 that is operated by a user. The main body housing 12 includes a recessed groove 34b (an example of an engaged portion) that engages with the hook 58.

[0238] According to the above configuration, the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 engage with the recessed groove 34b of the main body housing 12, thereby preventing the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 from coming off the main body housing 12.

[0239] Furthermore, when the motor unit 10 is viewed in a vertical direction perpendicular to the upper wall 20c, the first battery attachment portion 22 does not overlap with the second battery attachment portion 24.

[0240] According to the above configuration, when the motor unit 10 is viewed in the up-down direction perpendicular to the upper wall 20c, the structure of the upper wall 20c is prevented from becoming complicated, compared to a configuration in which the first battery mounting portion 22 overlaps with the second battery mounting portion 24.

[0241] Furthermore, a first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery attachment portion 22 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction (an example of a first direction) along the upper wall 20c. A second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery attachment portion 24 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. The motor 86 extends in the front-rear direction and includes a motor shaft 140 fixed to the working unit 4.

[0242] According to the above configuration, based on the attitude of motor shaft 140, the direction in which the first battery pack BP1 and the direction in which the second battery pack BP2 are slid can be easily grasped.

[0243] The motor unit 10 is further provided with a control unit 102 that is disposed inside the housing 20 and controls the motor 86. When the motor unit 10 is viewed in the front-rear direction, the control unit 102 at least partially overlaps the motor 86.

[0244] According to the above configuration, when the motor unit 10 is viewed in the front-to-rear direction, the motor unit 10 is prevented from becoming larger in the direction perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction, compared to a configuration in which the control unit 102 does not at least partially overlap the motor 86.

[0245] In addition, the motor unit 10 further includes a first fixing portion 148 (an example of a fixing portion) that is fixed to the working unit 4. The motor 86 is disposed between the first fixing portion 148 and the first battery attachment portion 22, and between the first fixing portion 148 and the second battery attachment portion 24.

[0246] According to the above configuration, interference between the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 and the working unit 4 can be suppressed.

[0247] The motor unit 10 of this embodiment is detachably attached to each of a plurality of types of working units 4, and operates the working units 4. The motor unit 10 includes a storage section 20 having an upper wall 20c (an example of a first wall), a main body housing 12 including a first battery mounting section 22 arranged on the upper wall 20c, and a second battery mounting section 24 arranged on the upper wall 20c, and a motor 86 arranged inside the storage section 20 and operating the working unit 4. A first battery pack BP1 (an example of a first battery) that supplies power to the motor 86 is attached to the first battery mounting section 22. A second battery pack BP2 (an example of a second battery) that supplies power to the motor 86 is attached to the second battery mounting section 24. The maximum output value of the motor 86 is 1.5 kW or more and 2.35 kW or less.

[0248] The first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 are small, versatile batteries. According to the above configuration, the first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery mounting portion 22, and the second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery mounting portion 24. The motor 86, whose maximum output value is 1.5 kW or more and 2.35 kW or less, is used to operate a relatively high-output working unit 4. This allows the versatile, small-sized first battery pack BP1 and second battery pack BP2 to be used in the motor unit 10 to operate a relatively high-output working unit 4.

[0249] The torque of the motor 86 is not less than 2.0 N·m and not more than 11.0 N·m. The rotation speed of the motor 86 is not less than 3000 rpm and not more than 4300 rpm.

[0250] The motor 86, which has a torque of 2.0 N·m or more and 11.0 N·m or less and a rotation speed of 3000 rpm or more and 4300 rpm or less, is used to operate a relatively high-output working unit 4. This makes it possible to operate a relatively high-output working unit 4 by using the versatile small first battery pack BP1 and second battery pack BP2 in the motor unit 10.

[0251] In addition, the volume of the main body housing 12 is 9000 cm 3 The following is the result.

[0252] Generally, the higher the maximum output value of the motor 86, the larger the motor 86. Accordingly, the main body housing 12 also becomes larger. With the above configuration, the main body housing 12 can be made smaller in the motor unit 10 that operates the working unit 4 with a relatively high output. This allows the motor unit 10 to be made smaller.

[0253] The volume of the first battery pack BP1 and the volume of the second battery pack BP2 are each 1500 cm 3 The following is the result.

[0254] According to the above configuration, the motor unit 10 can be made smaller.

[0255] Furthermore, when the motor unit 10 is placed on the placement surface P1, the upper wall 20c is disposed above the motor 86.

[0256] The motor 86 is a heavy component. The weight of the motor 86 is greater than the weight of the first battery pack BP1 and the weight of the second battery pack BP2. According to the above configuration, the heavy motor 86 can be disposed at a position closer to the placement surface P1 than the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2.

[0257] Furthermore, a first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery attachment portion 22 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction (an example of a first direction) along the upper wall 20c. A second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery attachment portion 24 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. The motor 86 extends in the front-rear direction and includes a motor shaft 140 fixed to the working unit 4.

[0258] According to the above configuration, based on the attitude of motor shaft 140, the direction in which the first battery pack BP1 and the direction in which the second battery pack BP2 are slid can be easily grasped.

[0259] In addition, the motor unit 10 further includes a first fixing portion 148 (an example of a fixing portion) that is fixed to the working unit 4. The motor 86 is disposed between the first fixing portion 148 and the first battery attachment portion 22, and between the first fixing portion 148 and the second battery attachment portion 24.

[0260] According to the above configuration, interference between the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 and the working unit 4 can be suppressed.

[0261] Further, the first battery pack BP1 attached to the first battery attachment portion 22 and the second battery pack BP2 attached to the second battery attachment portion 24 are electrically connected in series.

[0262] According to the above configuration, the output of the motor unit 10 can be increased, compared to a configuration in which the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 are electrically connected in parallel.

[0263] The motor unit 10 of this embodiment is detachably attached to each of the multiple types of working units 4 and operates the working units 4. The motor unit 10 includes a main housing 12 including a storage section 20 having an upper wall 20c (an example of a first wall), a first battery mounting section 22 arranged on the upper wall 20c, and a second battery mounting section 24 arranged on the upper wall 20c, a motor 86 arranged inside the storage section 20 and operating the working unit 4, and a fixing unit 90 including a first fixing section 148 and a second fixing section 150. A first battery pack BP1 (an example of a first battery) that supplies power to the motor 86 is attached to the first battery mounting section 22. A second battery pack BP2 (an example of a second battery) that supplies power to the motor 86 is attached to the second battery mounting section 24. The multiple types of working units 4 include a plate compactor 4b (an example of a first working unit) and a rammer 4a (an example of a second working unit) different from the plate compactor 4b. The first fixed portion 148 is fixed to the plate compactor 4b. The second fixed portion 150 is fixed to the rammer 4a.

[0264] The first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 are small batteries with high versatility. According to the above configuration, the first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery attachment portion 22, and the second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery attachment portion 24. This allows the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2, which are small and highly versatile, to be used in the motor unit 10. In addition, the motor unit 10 is fixed to the plate compactor 4b via the first fixing portion 148, and is fixed to the ramma 4a via the second fixing portion 150. This allows the number of types of working units 4 that can use the motor unit 10 to be increased.

[0265] Furthermore, when the motor unit 10 is placed on the mounting surface P1, the first fixing portion 148 is placed on the mounting surface P1. The motor 86 is disposed between the first fixing portion 148 and the first battery attachment portion 22, and between the first fixing portion 148 and the second battery attachment portion 24.

[0266] According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 from interfering with the plate compactor 4b.

[0267] The motor unit 10 further includes a motor housing 84 that accommodates the motor 86. The second fixing portion 150 is formed in the motor housing 84.

[0268] According to the above configuration, the number of parts of the motor unit 10 can be reduced compared to a configuration in which the second fixing portion 150 is not formed on the motor housing 84.

[0269] The first fixing portion 148 has a first fixing surface 148a that is fixed to the plate compactor 4b. The second fixing portion 150 has a second fixing surface 150a that is fixed to the rammer 4a. The second fixing surface 150a is substantially perpendicular to the first fixing surface 148a.

[0270] According to the above configuration, the first fixing part 148 or the second fixing part 150 is selected depending on the shape, etc., of the working unit 4. This makes it possible to increase the types of working units 4 that can use the motor unit 10.

[0271] The motor unit 10 is further provided with a fan 88 that is disposed inside the housing portion 20 and rotates by the operation of the motor 86. An air intake 26a (an example of a first air hole) is formed between the housing portion 20 and the second fixed portion 150. An air exhaust 124 (an example of a second air hole) is formed in the second fixed portion 150. When the fan 88 rotates, air flows into the housing portion 20 from one of the air intake 26a and the air exhaust 124, and flows out of the housing portion 20 from the other of the air intake 26a and the air exhaust 124.

[0272] According to the above configuration, the motor 86 disposed inside the housing portion 20 can be cooled.

[0273] Furthermore, the rated capacity of the first battery pack BP1 is different from the rated capacity of the second battery pack BP2.

[0274] According to the above configuration, a plurality of types of battery packs BP can be used in the motor unit 10.

[0275] The working machine 2 of this embodiment includes a rammer 4a and a motor unit 10 that is detachably attached to the rammer 4a and operates the rammer 4a. The motor unit 10 includes a main body housing 12 that includes a storage section 20, a first battery mounting section 22 arranged in the storage section 20, and a second battery mounting section 24 arranged in the storage section 20, and a DC motor 86 that is arranged inside the storage section 20 and operates the rammer 4a. A first battery pack BP1 (an example of a first battery) that supplies power to the DC motor 86 is attached to the first battery mounting section 22. A second battery pack BP2 (an example of a second battery) that supplies power to the DC motor 86 is attached to the second battery mounting section 24.

[0276] The first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 are small batteries with high versatility. According to the above configuration, the first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery mounting portion 22, and the second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery mounting portion 24. This allows the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2, which are small and highly versatile, to be used in the motor unit 10 to operate the ramper 4a.

[0277] (Second Example) In the second embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 34, in the second embodiment, the first battery mounting portion 22 and the second battery mounting portion 24 are disposed on the rear wall 20d of the storage portion 20. The first battery mounting portion 22 and the second battery mounting portion 24 are disposed side by side in the left-right direction. When the motor unit 10 is viewed in the front-rear direction, the first battery mounting portion 22 does not overlap with the second battery mounting portion 24.

[0278] The first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery mounting portion 22 by sliding it in an attachment direction D1, and is removed from the first battery mounting portion 22 by sliding it in a removal direction D2 opposite to the attachment direction D1. The attachment direction D1 is a downward direction. The removal direction D2 is an upward direction. The second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery mounting portion 24 by sliding it in the first direction, and is removed from the second battery mounting portion 24 by sliding it in the removal direction D2.

[0279] (Third Example) In the third embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 35, in the third embodiment, the first battery mounting portion 22 and the second battery mounting portion 24 are disposed on the left wall 20e of the storage portion 20. The first battery mounting portion 22 and the second battery mounting portion 24 are disposed side by side in the front-rear direction. When the motor unit 10 is viewed in the left-right direction, the first battery mounting portion 22 does not overlap with the second battery mounting portion 24.

[0280] The first battery pack BP1 is attached to the first battery mounting portion 22 by sliding it in an attachment direction D1, and is removed from the first battery mounting portion 22 by sliding it in a removal direction D2 opposite to the attachment direction D1. The attachment direction D1 is a downward direction. The removal direction D2 is an upward direction. The second battery pack BP2 is attached to the second battery mounting portion 24 by sliding it in the first direction, and is removed from the second battery mounting portion 24 by sliding it in the removal direction D2.

[0281] (Fourth Example) In the fourth embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 36, the first right vibration isolating member 170 is disposed above the center of gravity G1 of the motor unit 10 and the central axis 140a of the motor shaft 140. The center of the first right vibration isolating member 170 in the up-down direction is disposed below the upper end 86a of the motor 86. The upper end of the first right vibration isolating member 170 is disposed above the upper end 86a of the motor 86. In the front-rear direction, the position of the center of the first right vibration isolating member 170 is substantially the same as the position of the center of gravity G1 of the motor unit 10.

[0282] The second right vibration isolating member 172 and the third right vibration isolating member 174 are disposed below the center of gravity G1 and central axis 140a of the motor unit 10. The second right vibration isolating member 172 and the third right vibration isolating member 174 are disposed above the lower end 86b of the motor 86. In the front-rear direction, the center position of the second right vibration isolating member 172 and the third right vibration isolating member 174 is substantially the same as the position of the center of gravity G1 of the motor unit 10.

[0283] The front-rear position of the first left vibration isolating member 176 (see FIG. 21) is approximately the same as the front-rear position of the first right vibration isolating member 170. The up-down position of the first left vibration isolating member 176 is approximately the same as the up-down position of the first right vibration isolating member 170. The front-rear position of the second left vibration isolating member 178 (see FIG. 21) is approximately the same as the front-rear position of the second right vibration isolating member 172. The up-down position of the second left vibration isolating member 178 is approximately the same as the up-down position of the second right vibration isolating member 172. The front-rear position of the third left vibration isolating member 180 (see FIG. 21) is approximately the same as the front-rear position of the third right vibration isolating member 174. The up-down position of the third left vibration isolating member 180 is approximately the same as the up-down position of the third right vibration isolating member 174.

[0284] (Fifth Example) In the fifth embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 37, the vibration-isolating section 94 includes only a first right vibration-isolating member 170 and a first left vibration-isolating member 176. In Fig. 37, the reference numeral 176 is attached to the outer surface of the first right vibration-isolating member 170 to make it easier to understand the position of the first left vibration-isolating member 176. The shape of the first right vibration-isolating member 170 of the fifth embodiment differs from the shape of the first right vibration-isolating member 170 of the first embodiment, and the shape of the first left vibration-isolating member 176 of the fifth embodiment differs from the shape of the first left vibration-isolating member 176 of the first embodiment.

[0285] The first right vibration isolating member 170 has a triangular ring shape. In the front-rear direction, the position of the center CP of the first right vibration isolating member 170 is substantially the same as the position of the center of gravity G1 of the motor unit 10. The center CP of the first right vibration isolating member 170 is disposed above the center of gravity G1 of the motor unit 10 and the central axis 140a of the motor shaft 140. The upper end of the first right vibration isolating member 170 is disposed above the upper end 86a of the motor 86. The lower end of the first right vibration isolating member 170 is disposed below the lower end 86b of the motor 86. At least a portion of the first right vibration isolating member 170 is disposed below the upper end 86a of the motor 86.

[0286] The shape of the first left vibration isolating member 176 is approximately the same as the shape of the first right vibration isolating member 170. The front-to-rear position of the first left vibration isolating member 176 is approximately the same as the front-to-rear position of the first right vibration isolating member 170. The up-to-down position of the first left vibration isolating member 176 is approximately the same as the up-to-down position of the first right vibration isolating member 170.

[0287] (Sixth Example) In the sixth embodiment, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 38, the battery pack BP is a highly versatile battery pack. The battery pack BP can be used not only in the motor unit 10 but also in the power tool 6. As shown in FIG. 38, for example, the battery pack BP can be used in a rebar binding machine that uses a wire W to bind a plurality of rebars R. The battery pack BP can also be used in a power tool 6 other than the rebar binding machine, such as an impact driver, a circular saw, or a driver drill. The battery pack BP is directly attached to the power tool 6. The battery pack BP can also be used in a gardening product. The gardening product is, for example, a brush cutter, a blower, a hedge trimmer, a chain saw, a transport vehicle, a snow blower, or a tiller. The battery pack BP is directly attached to the gardening product. The battery cells of the battery pack BP may be cylindrical cells, rectangular cells, or laminated cells. In addition, the configuration (e.g., dimensions, shape, maximum voltage value, rated capacity, and type of battery cells) of the first battery pack BP1 shown in FIG. 4 may be different from the configuration (e.g., dimensions, shape, maximum voltage value, rated capacity, and type of battery cells) of the second battery pack BP2.

[0288] 13, when the motor unit 10 is placed on the placement surface P1, the first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 (see FIG. 8) are disposed above the motor 86. The first battery pack BP1 and the second battery pack BP2 (see FIG. 8) are substantially parallel to the first fixing portion 148, for example, the first fixing surface 148a.

[0289] 39, the front bracket 110 has a front through-hole 500 and a front rib 502. The front through-hole 500 penetrates the front wall of the front bracket 110 in the front-rear direction. The front through-hole 500 is disposed on the central axis 140a of the motor shaft 140. The motor shaft 140 penetrates through the front through-hole 500.

[0290] The front rib 502 is disposed in the front through-hole 500. The front rib 502 protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the front through-hole 500 toward the central axis 140a.

[0291] The bearing 144 is attached to the front bracket 110. The bearing 144 is disposed in the front through hole 500. The bearing 144 is disposed rearward of the front end 140b of the motor shaft 140. The front end 140b of the motor shaft 140 is disposed outside the main body housing 12 (see FIG. 13). The front end 140b of the motor shaft 140 is fixed to the shaft receiving portion 324 (see FIG. 27) of the rammer 4a and the first pulley 370 (see FIG. 31) of the plate compactor 4b. Since the motor shaft 140 is substantially parallel to the first fixing portion 148, for example, the first fixing surface 148a (see FIG. 13), the front end 140b of the motor shaft 140 is substantially parallel to the first fixing portion 148, for example, the first fixing surface 148a. The bearing 144 abuts against the rear end of the front rib 502 from the motor accommodating space 122 side. For this reason, the bearing 144 is disposed in the motor accommodating space 122, i.e., inside the motor housing 84. Moreover, the bearing 144 does not pass through the front through-hole 500 and slip out to the outside of the motor accommodating space 122. The bearing 144 rotatably supports the motor shaft 140. The outer diameter of the bearing 144 is, for example, not less than 50 mm and not more than 60 mm. Moreover, the inner diameter of the bearing 144 is, for example, not less than 20 mm and not more than 25 mm. The length of the bearing 144 in the front-rear direction is, for example, not less than 10 mm and not more than 20 mm.

[0292] The partition wall portion 116 of the motor housing body 108 has a rear through-hole 506, a rear rib 508, and an air hole 510 (see FIG. 40). The rear through-hole 506 penetrates the partition wall portion 116 in the front-rear direction. The rear through-hole 506 is disposed on the central axis 140a. The motor shaft 140 penetrates the rear through-hole 506.

[0293] The rear rib 508 is disposed in the rear through hole 506. The rear rib 508 protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the rear through hole 506 toward the central axis 140a. The rear rib 508 is separated from the front rib 502 in the front-rear direction. A distance L10 between the front end of the rear rib 508 and the rear end of the front rib 502 is, for example, 115 mm or less. This allows the motor housing 84 to be made compact. The distance L10 may be 110 mm or less, 105 mm or less, or 100 mm or less. In addition, the distance L10 is, for example, 80 mm or more. This allows the reduction in the maximum output value of the motor 86 due to the reduction in size of the motor 86 to be suppressed. The distance L10 may be 85 mm or more, 90 mm or more, or 95 mm or more.

[0294] The bearing 142 is attached to the partition wall 116. The bearing 142 is disposed in the rear through-hole 506. The bearing 142 is disposed rearward of the bearing 144. Therefore, the bearing 144 is disposed between the front end 140b of the motor shaft 140 and the bearing 142. The bearing 142 is aligned with the bearing 144 in the front-rear direction. In the front-rear direction, the stator body 132, the coil 134, the outer rotor body 136, and the permanent magnet 138 of the motor 86 are disposed between the bearing 142 and the bearing 144. The bearing 142 abuts against the front end of the rear rib 508 from the motor accommodating space 122 side. Therefore, the bearing 142 is disposed in the motor accommodating space 122, that is, inside the motor housing 84. Moreover, the bearing 142 does not pass through the rear through-hole 506 to the outside of the motor accommodating space 122. The bearing 142 rotatably supports the motor shaft 140. The outer diameter of bearing 142 is, for example, not less than 30 mm and not more than 45 mm. The outer diameter of bearing 142 is smaller than the outer diameter of bearing 144. The inner diameter of bearing 142 is, for example, not less than 15 mm and not more than 20 mm. The inner diameter of bearing 142 is smaller than the inner diameter of bearing 144. The length of bearing 142 in the front-to-rear direction is, for example, not less than 5 mm and not more than 15 mm. The length of bearing 142 in the front-to-rear direction is smaller than the length of bearing 144 in the front-to-rear direction.

[0295] The distance L11 between the front end of the bearing 144 and the rear end of the bearing 142 is, for example, 115 mm or less. This allows the motor housing 84 to be made compact. The distance L11 may be 110 mm or less, 105 mm or less, or 100 mm or less. The distance L11 is, for example, 80 mm or more. This allows the motor 86 to be prevented from decreasing in the maximum output value due to the miniaturization of the motor 86. The distance L11 may be 85 mm or more, 90 mm or more, or 95 mm or more. The distance L11 is approximately the same as the distance L10.

[0296] A distance L12 between the rear end of the bearing 144 and the front end of the bearing 142 is, for example, 100 mm or less. This allows the motor housing 84 to be made compact. The distance L12 may be 90 mm or less, 85 mm or less, or 80 mm or less. The distance L12 is, for example, 60 mm or more. This allows the reduction in the maximum output value of the motor 86 due to the reduction in the size of the motor 86 to be suppressed. The distance L11 may be 65 mm or more, 70 mm or more, or 75 mm or more. The distance L12 is the separation distance between the bearing 142 and the bearing 144.

[0297] 40, the air hole 510 penetrates the partition portion 116 in the front-rear direction. The air hole 510 is farther from the central axis 140a than the rear through-hole 506. The air hole 510 communicates between the motor accommodating space 122 and the fan accommodating space 126.

[0298] As shown in FIG. 39, in this embodiment, the motor unit 10 includes only one fan 88. The fan 88 is disposed in the fan accommodating space 126. The fan 88 is disposed outside the motor accommodating space 122. The fan 88 is fixed to the rear end of the motor shaft 140. When the motor shaft 140 rotates, the fan 88 rotates. As shown in FIG. 15, air passes through the intake port 26a and flows from the outside of the motor unit 10 into the accommodation space 18 of the main body housing 12. Next, as shown in FIG. 26, the air passes through the intake port 202 of the board housing 192 and flows into the internal space 200 in the board housing 192. Next, the air flows along the heat dissipation fins 204, and then passes through the air passage 208 of the cylindrical vibration-proof member 104 and the motor intake port 128 of the rear bracket 112, and flows from the internal space 200 into the fan accommodating space 126. The air flows along the heat dissipation fins 204, thereby cooling the control circuit board 196. As shown in FIG. 40, the air is sent by the fan 88 in a direction away from the central axis 140a (toward the radial outside of the fan 88). Next, the air flows from the fan accommodating space 126 into the motor accommodating space 122 through the air holes 510. Next, the air flows forward through the inside and outside of the motor 86. This cools the motor 86. Finally, the air passes through the exhaust port 124 (see FIG. 15) of the front bracket 110 and is discharged from the motor accommodating space 122 to the outside of the motor unit 10. In this embodiment, the air sent out by the fan 88 is discharged to the outside of the motor unit 10 without passing through the outside of the motor housing 84. For this reason, no fins for guiding the air are formed on the outer surface of the motor housing 84.

[0299] As shown in FIG. 41, the stator body 132 of the motor 86 is surrounded by the outer rotor body 136. The diameter DR1 of the stator body 132 is, for example, 125 mm or less. This prevents the motor 86 from becoming larger. The diameter DR1 may be 120 mm or less. Also, the diameter DR1 is, for example, 110 mm or more. This prevents a decrease in the maximum output value of the motor 86 due to the miniaturization of the motor 86. The diameter DR1 may be 115 mm or more. As shown in FIG. 39, the length L13 in the front-rear direction of the stator body 132 is, for example, 23 mm or less. This prevents the motor 86 from becoming larger. The length L13 may be 20 mm or less. Also, the length L13 is, for example, 13 mm or more. This prevents a decrease in the maximum output value of the motor 86 due to the miniaturization of the motor 86. The length L13 may be 15 mm or more.

[0300] The diameter DR2 of the outer rotor body 136 is, for example, 148 mm or less. This prevents the motor 86 from becoming larger. The diameter DR2 may be 145 mm or less. Also, the diameter DR2 may be, for example, 138 mm or more. This prevents a decrease in the maximum output value of the motor 86 that would otherwise be caused by a reduction in the size of the motor 86. The diameter DR2 may be 140 mm or more. The diameter DR2 is larger than the diameter DR1.

[0301] 41, the stator body 132 has a plurality of (24 in this embodiment) teeth 514. A coil 134 is wound around each tooth 514. The 24 teeth 514 are arranged at equal intervals around the central axis 140a.

The number of the permanent magnets 138 is equal to or greater than the number of the teeth 514. Moreover, the number of the permanent magnets 138 is equal to or less than 1.5 times the number of the teeth 514.

[0303] The residual magnetic flux density Br of the permanent magnet 138 is, for example, 1.32 T or more. This makes it possible to strengthen the magnetic force generated by the permanent magnet 138. The residual magnetic flux density Br may be 1.40 T or more, or may be 1.50 T or more. Moreover, the residual magnetic flux density Br is, for example, 1.8 T or less. The residual magnetic flux density Br may be 1.7 T or less, or may be 1.6 T or less.

[0304] The coercive force bHc of the permanent magnet 138 is, for example, 971 kA / m or more. This makes it possible to strengthen the magnetic force generated by the permanent magnet 138. The coercive force bHc may be 1000 kA / m or more, or may be 1050 kA / m or more. Moreover, the coercive force bHc is, for example, 1200 kA / m or less. The coercive force bHc may be 1150 kA / m or less, or may be 1100 kA / m or less.

[0305] In this embodiment, the permanent magnet 138 is, for example, a neodymium magnet. The magnetic force of the permanent magnet 138 is greater than the magnetic force of a samarium-cobalt magnet, a ferrite magnet, and a praseodymium magnet.

[0306] In this embodiment, the maximum output value of the motor 86 is, for example, 1.80 kW or more. The maximum output value of the motor 86 may be 2.0 kW or more. The maximum output value of the motor 86 may be, for example, 4.0 kW or less. The maximum output value of the motor 86 may be 3.0 kW or less, or 2.35 kW or less.

[0307] As shown in FIG. 39, the motor unit 10 further includes a sensor board 520. The sensor board 520 includes a plurality of Hall elements (not shown). The Hall elements detect the magnetic force from the permanent magnet 138, and the sensor board 520 detects the rotation of the motor 86. The sensor board 520 is disposed in the motor accommodating space 122. In the front-rear direction, the sensor board 520 is disposed between the bearing 144 and the bearing 142. As shown in FIG. 42, the sensor board 520 faces the permanent magnet 138 in the front-rear direction. The sensor board 520 is disposed rearward of the outer rotor body 136 and the permanent magnet 138. The sensor board 520 is fixed to the motor housing body 108 by a screw 522. The sensor board 520 is disposed rearward of the front bracket 110.

The main power switch 74 accepts a user's operation to switch the motor unit 10 between the on state and the off state. The display panel 76 is turned on when the motor unit 10 is in the on state, and is turned off when the motor unit 10 is in the off state. The display panel 76 corresponds to an indicator light. The operation switch 78a accepts a user's operation to operate the motor 86. The rotation speed change switch 78b accepts a user's operation to change the rotation speed of the motor shaft 140. As shown in FIG. 43, the main power switch 74, the display panel 76, and the rotation speed change switch 78b are arranged on a switch board 524.

The motor unit 10 includes a motor 86 having a motor shaft 140 and a maximum output value of 1.8 kW or more, a motor housing 84 supporting the motor 86, a first battery mounting portion 22 (an example of a battery mounting portion) to which a battery pack BP is detachably attached, a main body housing 12 accommodating the motor housing 84, and a bearing 144 (an example of a first bearing) and a bearing 142 (an example of a second bearing) attached to the motor housing 84 and rotatably supporting the motor shaft 140. The bearing 142 is disposed rearward of the bearing 144. A distance L11 between the front end of the bearing 144 and the rear end of the bearing 142 is 115 mm or less.

[0335] According to the above configuration, compared to a configuration in which the distance L11 between the front end of the bearing 144 and the rear end of the bearing 142 exceeds 115 mm, it is possible to prevent the motor unit 10 from becoming large.

[0336] Furthermore, the bearing 144 and the bearing 142 are disposed inside the motor housing 84 .

[0337] According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the user from touching the bearing 144 and the bearing 142 .

[0338] The motor housing 84 also includes a front bracket 110 (an example of a first member) to which the bearing 144 is attached, and a motor housing main body 108 (an example of a second member) to which the bearing 142 is attached, which defines a motor accommodating space 122 (an example of an accommodating space) between the front bracket 110 and the motor accommodating space 122 to accommodate the motor 86.

[0339] According to the above-described configuration, the configuration of the motor housing 84 can be prevented from becoming complicated, as compared with a configuration in which the bearing 144 and the bearing 142 are attached to the same member.

[0340] The motor unit 10 further includes a fan 88 that is fixed to the motor shaft 140 and disposed only outside the motor accommodating space 122. The motor housing 84 has an air hole 510. Air flows into the motor accommodating space 122 from the air hole 510 as the fan 88 rotates.

[0341] According to the above configuration, compared to a configuration in which the fan 88 is disposed in the motor accommodating space 122, an increase in size of the motor housing 84 can be suppressed.

[0342] The motor unit 10 further includes a control unit 102 that operates the motor 86. Air flows from the control unit 102 toward the air holes 510 as the fan 88 rotates.

[0343] According to the above configuration, the air passes through the control unit 102 and the air hole 510, and then passes through the motor 86. This allows both the control unit 102 and the motor 86 to be cooled by a single air flow.

[0344] Furthermore, when the motor unit 10 is viewed in the direction in which the motor shaft 140 extends, the control unit 102 at least partially overlaps the motor 86 .

[0345] According to the above configuration, when the motor unit 10 is viewed in the direction in which the motor shaft 140 extends, the motor unit 10 is prevented from becoming larger in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the motor shaft 140 extends, compared to a configuration in which the control unit 102 does not overlap with the motor 86.

[0346] The motor unit 10 is further provided with a sensor board 520 that is disposed in the motor accommodating space 122 and detects the rotation of the motor 86. A front end 140b (an example of a fixed portion) of the motor shaft 140 is fixed to each of the rammer 4a and the plate compactor 4b. The bearing 144 is disposed between the front end 140b of the motor shaft 140 and the bearing 142. The sensor board 520 is fixed to the motor housing body 108.

The front end portion 140b of the motor shaft 140 is approximately parallel to the first fixing portion 148.

[0349] According to the above configuration, when the first fixing portion 148 is fixed to the plate compactor 4b, it is possible to easily fix the front end portion 140b of the motor shaft 140 to the plate compactor 4b.

[0350] The motor unit 10 further includes a fixing unit 90 including a first fixing portion 148 fixed to the plate compactor 4b and a second fixing portion 150 fixed to the rammer 4a.

When the first battery pack BP1 (an example of a battery pack) is attached to the first battery mounting portion 22 (an example of a battery mounting portion), the first battery pack BP1 is approximately parallel to the first fixing portion 148 and is disposed above the motor 86.

[0351] The motor 86 is a heavy component. The weight of the motor 86 is greater than the weight of the first battery pack BP1. According to the above configuration, the heavy motor 86 is disposed at a position closer to the mounting surface P1 than the first battery pack BP1. This allows the center of gravity G1 of the motor unit 10 to be closer to the mounting surface P1.

[0352] In addition, the first battery pack BP1 (an example of a battery pack) can be used with the power tool 6.

[0353] According to the above configuration, the motor unit 10 can be operated using the highly versatile first battery pack BP1.

[0354] Moreover, the motor unit 10 further includes an operation switch 78a (an example of a switch) that receives a user's operation to control the motor 86. The operation switch 78a is disposed on the main body housing 12.

[0355] According to the above configuration, compared to a configuration in which the operation switch 78a is disposed on a component other than the main body housing 12, the configuration of the motor unit 10 can be prevented from becoming complicated.

The residual magnetic flux density of the permanent magnets 138 is 1.32 T or more. The coercive force of the permanent magnets 138 is 971 kA / m or more.

[0361] According to the above configuration, the permanent magnet 138 can be made smaller than in a configuration in which the residual magnetic flux density of the permanent magnet 138 is less than 1.32 T and / or the coercive force of the permanent magnet 138 is less than 971 kA / m. This allows the motor unit 10 to be made smaller.

[0362] Moreover, the permanent magnet 138 is a neodymium magnet.

[0363] According to the above configuration, since the magnetic force of a neodymium magnet is the strongest among all permanent magnets, it is possible to make the permanent magnet 138 smaller, thereby enabling the motor unit 10 to be made more compact.

[0364] Furthermore, the stator body 132 includes a plurality of teeth 514. The number of the plurality of permanent magnets 138 is equal to or greater than the number of the plurality of teeth 514.
