Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die Schwingungen im Griffteil einer Handwerkzeugmaschine wirksam zu reduzieren.The invention is based on the object to effectively reduce the vibrations in the handle part of a power tool.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruch 1 gelöst. Die abhängigen Ansprüche geben zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen an.
Die erfindungsgemäße Handwerkzeugmaschine weist eine Antriebseinheit zum Antrieb eines Werkzeuges auf, wobei die Antriebseinheit bevorzugt als elektrischer Antriebsmotor ausgebildet ist, die in einem Motorgehäuse angeordnet ist, welches eines von mindestens zwei Gehäuseteilen bildet. Des Weiteren ist als weiteres Gehäuseteil ein Griffteil zum Halten und Führen der Handwerkzeugmaschine vorgesehen, wobei zumindest einem Gehäuseteil - dem Motorgehäuse und/oder dem Griffteil - ein Schwingungsreduktionselement zugeordnet ist.This object is achieved with the features of independent claim 1. The dependent claims indicate expedient developments.
The hand tool according to the invention has a drive unit for driving a tool, wherein the drive unit is preferably designed as an electric drive motor, which is arranged in a motor housing, which forms one of at least two housing parts. Furthermore, as another housing part provided a grip part for holding and guiding the power tool, wherein at least one housing part - the motor housing and / or the handle part - is associated with a vibration reduction element.
Das Schwingungsreduktionselement ist als ein Aktor ausgeführt, der Gegenschwingungen zu den auf das Griffteil wirkenden Schwingungen erzeugt, welche vom Motorgehäuse ausgehen. Der Aktor stellt ein aktiv einstellbares Stellglied dar, das über Stellsignale so eingestellt wird, dass mechanische Gegenschwingungen zu den vom Motorgehäuse ausgehenden Schwingungen erzeugt werden, wobei die Schwingungen und die Gegenschwingungen sich zumindest teilweise kompensieren, so dass das Griffteil erheblich weniger Schwingungen ausübt und die Bedienperson einer signifikant reduzierten Schwingungsbelastung ausgesetzt ist. Die Schwingungsreduzierung betrifft die Frequenz und/oder die Amplitude, wobei grundsätzlich bereits eine Verschiebung der Frequenz von kritischen zu unkritischen Frequenzen zu einer Reduzierung der Schwingungsbelastung führen kann.
Die vom Motorgehäuse ausgehenden Schwingungen werden zweckmäßigerweise als Eingangssignal in einem Regel- bzw. Steuergerät verwertet, in welchem Ausgangs- bzw. Stellsignale generiert werden, über die der Aktor eingestellt wird. Zweckmäßigerweise ist zur Detektierung der Eingangssignale ein Sensorelement vorgesehen, dessen Sensordaten die Eingangssignale bilden, welche in dem Regel- bzw. Steuergerät verarbeitet werden.
Als Aktoren können verschiedene aktive Stellglieder eingesetzt werden. Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführung ist der Aktor als ein Piezoelement ausgeführt, das bei Anlegen einer Spannung eine Längenänderung ausübt, wobei die Längenänderung des Piezoelementes auf das Griffteil und/oder das Motorgehäuse wirkt und dort den jeweils herrschenden Schwingungen entgegenwirkt. Über eine entsprechende Bestromung des Piezoelementes kann eine schnell wechselnde Längenänderung erzeugt werden, die sich auf eines der Gehäuseteile auswirkt und entsprechende Gegenschwingungen erzeugt.
Grundsätzlich ist es beispielsweise möglich, als Sensorelement ebenfalls ein Piezoelement einzusetzen, welches von den Schwingungen, die vom Motorgehäuse ausgehen, beaufschlagt wird und dadurch eine sich wechselnde Spannung erzeugt, die als Eingangssignal im Regel- bzw. Steuergerät ausgewertet wird, woraufhin der Aktor zur Erzeugung der Gegenschwingungen entsprechend eingestellt wird.
Der Aktor wird vorteilhafterweise zwischen den Gehäuseteilen angeordnet, so dass eine Abstützung an beiden Gehäuseteilen erfolgt. Da das Motorgehäuse mit den daran angeordneten Antriebselementen ein erheblich größeres Gewicht aufweist als das Griffteil, wirken sich Längenänderungen in dem Aktor trotz der Abstützung am Motorgehäuse vor allen Dingen im Griffteil aus und bewirken dort die gewünschten Schwingungsreduktionen.
In einer weiteren Ausführung ist der Aktor als Stellelement mit einer elektrorheologischen oder magnetorheologischen Flüssigkeit ausgeführt, die durch Anlegen eines elektrischen bzw. magnetischen Feldes ihre Viskositätseigenschaften innerhalb kürzester Zeit ändert, wodurch aktive Dämpfungselemente erzeugt werden können, deren Dämpfungseigenschaften, insbesondere deren Härte dynamisch veränderbar sind. Hierdurch können kritische Frequenzen in einen unkritischen Frequenzbereich am Griffteil verändert werden.
Die Wirk- bzw. Stellrichtung des Aktors kann sowohl parallel zur Längsachse des Gehäuses bzw. des Antriebsmotors als auch in Radialrichtung erfolgen. Möglich sind auch Mischformen, also Auswirkungen sowohl mit axialer als auch mit radialer Komponente, beispielsweise durch eine schräggestellte Anordnung des Aktors zwischen Motorgehäuse und Griffteil.The vibration reduction element is designed as an actuator which generates counter-vibrations to the vibrations acting on the grip part, which emanate from the motor housing. The actuator is an actively adjustable actuator, which is adjusted via control signals so that mechanical counter-vibrations are generated to the vibrations emanating from the motor housing, the vibrations and the counter-vibrations compensate at least partially, so that the handle part significantly less vibration exerts and the operator is exposed to a significantly reduced vibration load. The oscillation reduction relates to the frequency and / or the amplitude, wherein in principle already a shift of the frequency from critical to uncritical frequencies can lead to a reduction of the oscillation load.
The vibrations emanating from the motor housing are expediently utilized as an input signal in a regulating or control device in which output or actuating signals are generated, via which the actuator is set. Expediently, a sensor element is provided for detecting the input signals, the sensor data of which form the input signals which are processed in the control unit.
As actuators, various active actuators can be used. According to an advantageous embodiment, the actuator is designed as a piezoelectric element which exerts a change in length when a voltage is applied, wherein the change in length of the piezoelectric element acts on the handle part and / or the motor housing and there counteracts the respective prevailing oscillations. By means of a corresponding energization of the piezoelectric element, a rapidly changing change in length can be produced, which has an effect on one of the housing parts and generates corresponding countervibrations.
In principle, it is also possible, for example, to use a piezoelectric element as the sensor element, which is acted upon by the vibrations emanating from the motor housing, and thereby an alternating voltage generated, which is evaluated as an input signal in the control or control unit, whereupon the actuator for generating the countervibrations is set accordingly.
The actuator is advantageously arranged between the housing parts, so that a support takes place on both housing parts. Since the motor housing with the drive elements arranged thereon has a considerably greater weight than the handle part, length changes in the actuator, in spite of the support on the motor housing, above all affect the grip part and cause the desired vibration reductions there.
In a further embodiment, the actuator is designed as an actuating element with an electrorheological or magnetorheological fluid which changes its viscosity properties within a very short time by applying an electric or magnetic field, whereby active damping elements can be produced whose damping properties, in particular their hardness are dynamically changeable. As a result, critical frequencies can be changed to a non-critical frequency range on the handle part.
The active or adjusting direction of the actuator can be carried out both parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing or of the drive motor and in the radial direction. Also possible are mixed forms, ie effects both with axial and radial component, for example by an inclined arrangement of the actuator between the motor housing and handle.
Das Griffteil ist topfförmig ausgebildet und umgreift im zusammengesetzten Zustand den hinteren Abschnitt des Motorgehäuses, wobei zwischen der Außenseite des Motorgehäuses und der Innenwand des Griffteils ein zwischenliegender Ringraum gebildet ist, der zur Aufnahme des Aktors dienen kann. Die Positionierung des Aktors ist im Bereich des Topfbodens des Griffteiles bzw. im Bereich der hinteren axialen Stirnseite des Motorgehäuses.
Es kann zweckmäßig sein, zwischen den Gehäuseteilen, also zwischen dem Motorgehäuse und dem Griffteil, mindestens ein Gleitelement anzuordnen, über das die Gehäuseteile gegenseitig abgestützt sind, wobei das Gleitelement eine Relativbewegung zwischen den Gehäuseteilen erlaubt, so dass das Motorgehäuse Schwingungen ausüben kann, ohne dass diese über das Gleitelement auf das Griffteil übertragen werden. Das Gleitelement befindet sich insbesondere in dem ringförmigen Zwischenraum zwischen Motorgehäuse und Griffteil und stützt das Griffteil in Radialrichtung ab.The handle part is cup-shaped and engages around the rear portion of the motor housing in the assembled state, wherein between the outside of the motor housing and the inner wall of the handle portion, an intermediate annular space is formed, which can serve to receive the actuator. The positioning of the actuator is in the region of the pot bottom of the handle part or in the region of the rear axial end side of the motor housing.
It may be expedient to arrange at least one sliding element between the housing parts, that is to say between the motor housing and the grip part, via which the housing parts are mutually supported, the sliding element being a relative movement allowed between the housing parts, so that the motor housing can exert vibrations without these are transmitted via the sliding member on the handle part. The sliding element is located in particular in the annular space between the motor housing and the handle part and supports the handle part in the radial direction.
Gemäß eines weiteren Aspektes ist das Schwingungsreduktionselement als Schwingungstilger ausgeführt, der mit dem Griffteil verbunden ist, wobei der Schwingungstilger die schwingende Gesamtmasse des Griffteils erhöht. Diese Massenerhöhung bewirkt bereits eine Frequenzverschiebung aus einem kritischen Bereich in einen unkritischen Bereich, wodurch die Schwingungsbelastung reduziert wird.
Grundsätzlich kommen zwei verschiedene Möglichkeiten in Betracht, wie der Schwingungstilger mit dem Griffteil verbunden ist. Zum einen ist eine feste, unbewegliche Verbindung zwischen Schwingungstilger und Griffteil möglich, wobei in dieser Ausführung der schwingungsentlastende Effekt ausschließlich über die Massenerhöhung des Griffteiles erzielt wird. Gemäß einer zweiten Variante ist es aber auch möglich, den Schwingungstilger relativbeweglich an dem Griffteil zu halten, so dass der Schwingungstilger bezogen auf das Griffteil Schwingungen ausüben kann, wozu der Schwingungstilger von den Schwingungen des Motorgehäuses angeregt wird. Auf Grund der Kopplung des Schwingungstilgers mit dem Griffteil ist das Griffteil Reaktionskräften des Schwingungstilgers ausgesetzt, die zu einer dynamischen Frequenzverschiebung und ggf. auch zu einer Amplitudenreduzierung führen können. Bei dem Schwingungstilger handelt es sich bevorzugt um ein passives Element, dem keine Energie zugeführt werden muss. Dadurch vereinfacht sich die Ausführung des Griffteiles und des Schwingungstilgers.
Im Falle einer relativbeweglichen Anordnung des Schwingungstilgers bezogen auf das Griffelement ist es grundsätzliche ausreichend, dass der Schwingungstilger ausschließlich am Griffelement gehalten ist. Gemäß einer weiteren Variante ist es aber auch möglich, dass der Schwingungstilger zwischen Motorgehäuse und Griffteil positioniert ist und sich an diesen beiden Gehäuseteilen abstützt.According to a further aspect, the vibration reduction element is designed as a vibration damper, which is connected to the handle part, wherein the vibration damper increases the oscillating total mass of the handle part. This mass increase already causes a frequency shift from a critical range to a non-critical range, whereby the vibration load is reduced.
In principle, two different options come into consideration, as the vibration damper is connected to the handle part. On the one hand, a firm, immovable connection between the vibration absorber and the grip part is possible, in which case the vibration-relieving effect is achieved exclusively via the mass increase of the grip part. According to a second variant, however, it is also possible to hold the vibration damper relatively movable on the handle part, so that the vibration damper can exert vibrations relative to the handle part, for which purpose the vibration damper is excited by the vibrations of the motor housing. Due to the coupling of the vibration damper with the handle part of the handle part reaction forces of the vibration absorber is exposed, which can lead to a dynamic frequency shift and possibly also to an amplitude reduction. The vibration damper is preferably a passive element to which no energy needs to be supplied. This simplifies the execution of the handle part and the vibration damper.
In the case of a relatively movable arrangement of the vibration absorber relative to the handle element, it is fundamentally sufficient that the vibration damper is held exclusively on the handle element. According to a further variant, it is also possible that the vibration damper is positioned between the motor housing and the handle part and is supported on these two housing parts.
Im Falle einer ausschließlichen Verbindung des Schwingungstilgers mit dem Griffteil kommt sowohl eine Positionierung des Schwingungstilgers an der Innenseite als auch an der Außenseite des Griffteiles oder ggf. in einer in das Griffteilgehäuse eingebrachten Ausnehmung in Betracht. Des Weiteren ist bei topfförmiger Ausführung des Griffteiles auch eine Anordnung des Schwingungstilgers im Bereich des Topfbodens möglich.In the case of an exclusive connection of the vibration damper with the grip part, both a positioning of the vibration damper on the inside and on the outside of the grip part or possibly in a recess introduced into the grip part housing come into consideration. Furthermore, an arrangement of the vibration absorber in the pot base is possible in cup-shaped design of the handle part.
Die Relativbewegung des Schwingungstilgers erfolgt bevorzugt parallel zur Achsrichtung des Gehäuses bzw. des Antriebsmotors, wobei grundsätzlich auch eine radiale Relativbewegung bzw. eine Relativbewegung mit axialer und radialer Komponente in Betracht kommt.The relative movement of the vibration absorber is preferably carried out parallel to the axial direction of the housing or the drive motor, wherein in principle also a radial relative movement or a relative movement with axial and radial component comes into consideration.
Der Schwingungstilger umfasst bevorzugt eine feste oder relativbeweglich mit dem Griffteil verbundene Tilgermasse. Darüber hinaus ist es aber auch möglich, als Schwingungstilger einen Tilgungsdämpfer vorzusehen bzw. eine Kombination von Tilgermasse und Tilgungsdämpfer.The vibration absorber preferably comprises a fixed or relatively displaceably connected to the handle part absorber mass. In addition, it is also possible to provide a vibration damper as a vibration absorber or a combination of absorber mass and repayment damper.

Um die Schwingungsbelastung im Griffteil 4, über das die Handwerkzeugmaschine von einer Bedienperson geführt wird, zu reduzieren und zugleich die Wandungen des Griffteiles 4 radial auf Abstand zu der äußeren Mantelfläche des Motorgehäuses 2 zu halten, sind zwei umlaufende Dichtringe 7 und 8 im Zwischenraum zwischen der Außenseite des Motorgehäuses 2 und der Innenwand des Griffteils 4 angeordnet. Das Griffteil 4 weist einen größeren Innendurchmesser auf als der Außendurchmesser des Motorgehäuses 2 beträgt, so dass zwischen Motorgehäuse und Griffteil ein ringförmiger Zwischenraum gebildet ist, in welchem sich die beiden Dichtringe 7 und 8 befinden. Der Dichtring 7 ist benachbart zur Stirnseite des topfförmigen Griffteiles 4 angeordnet und bewirkt zusätzlich zu der Schwingungsdämpfung in Radialrichtung auch eine Abdichtung des Zwischenraumes. Der Dichtring 8 befindet sich auf einem radial nach außen gerichteten Fortsatz 9, der einteilig mit dem Motorgehäuse 2 ausgebildet ist und in den Ringraum zwischen Außenseite des Motorgehäuses und Innenseite des Griffteils einragt. Beide Dichtringe 7 und 8 wirken jeweils schwingungsdämpfend, insbesondere in Radialrichtung, wobei die Dichtringe 7 und 8 zugleich als Gleitringe ausgebildet sind, die eine axiale Verschiebebewegung des Griffteils 4 bezogen auf das Motorgehäuse 2 ermöglichen. Die Achsrichtung ist zugleich die Längsachse des Motorgehäuses bzw. des Griffteiles und auch die Längsachse des elektrischen Antriebsmotors.
Zur weiteren Schwingungsreduzierung ist als Schwingungsreduktionselement ein Aktor zwischen Motorgehäuse 2 und Griffteil 4 angeordnet, der im Ausführungsbeispiel als Piezoelement 10 ausgebildet ist. Im Piezoelement 10 wird durch Anlegen einer Spannung eine Längenänderung bewirkt, die sich auf das Griffteil 4 auswirkt. Im Ausführungsbeispiel erstreckt sich das Piezoelement 10 in Achsrichtung, so dass beim Anlegen einer Spannung auch eine axiale Relativverschiebung zwischen Griffteil 4 und Motorgehäuse 2 eingestellt wird. Das Piezoelement 10 ist im ringförmigen Zwischenraum zwischen dem Boden des topfförmigen Griffteiles 4 und dem radialen Fortsatz 9 am Motorgehäuse 2 eingespannt. Die Befestigung des Piezoelementes 10 erfolgt beispielhaft über eine Schraube 11, über die das Piezoelement 10 mit der Innenseite des Bodens des Griffteils 4 verbunden ist.
Durch eine entsprechende Beaufschlagung des Piezoelementes 10 können vom Motorgehäuse 2 ausgehende Schwingungen kompensiert werden, welche über das als Schraube 5 ausgebildete Verbindungselement vom Motorgehäuse 2 auf das Griffteil 4 in Achsrichtung übertragen werden. Auf Grund der axialen Ausrichtung des Piezoelementes 10 werden diese Axialschwingungen zumindest teilweise kompensiert.
Vorteilhafterweise ist das Piezoelement 10 Bestandteil eines geschlossenen Regelkreises, zu dem des Weiteren ein Sensorelement sowie ein Regel- bzw. Steuergerät zur Verarbeitung der Sensordaten und zur Erzeugung von Stellsignalen gehört. Über das Sensorelement werden die vom Motorgehäuse 2 ausgehenden Schwingungen registriert, im Regel- bzw. Steuergerät werden die Sensordaten ausgewertet und Stellsignale zur Einstellung des Piezoelementes 10 erzeugt. Das Piezoelement 10 wird hierbei gegenphasig und möglichst mit gleicher Amplitude in Schwingungen versetzt, so dass die Schwingungen des Motorgehäuses 2 keine oder nur geringe Auswirkungen auf das Griffteil 4 haben.

Im ersten Kreissektor I befindet sich im ringförmigen Zwischenraum 12 zwischen der Außenseite des Motorgehäuses 2 und der Innenseite des Griffteils 4 ein Schwingungstilger 13, der als Tilgermasse ausgeführt ist und fest mit der Innenwand des Griffteils 4 verbunden ist. Des Weiteren befindet sich im Zwischenraum 12 ein Dämpfungselement 14 zwischen der Außenseite des Motorgehäuses 2 und dem Schwingungstilger 13. Der Schwingungstilger 13 vergrößert die Masse des Griffteiles 4, wodurch insbesondere eine Frequenzverschiebung von kritischen in Richtung unkritischer Frequenzen erreicht wird.In the first circular sector I is located in the
Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Kreissektor II ist der als Tilgermasse ausgeführte Schwingungstilger 13 fest mit der Außenseite des Motorgehäuses 2 verbunden. Ein Dämpfungselement 14 liegt zwischen der radialen Außenseite des Schwingungstilgers 13 und der Innenwand des Griffteils 4. Auch in dieser Ausführungsvariante wird eine Frequenzverschiebung erreicht, jedoch auf Seiten des Motorgehäuses, dessen Gesamtmasse durch den Schwingungstilger 13 erhöht wird.In the exemplary embodiment in accordance with circular sector II, the
In der Ausführungsvariante gemäß Kreissektor III ist der Schwingungstilger 13 nicht fest mit dem Motorgehäuse oder dem Griffteil verbunden, sondern schwingend zwischen zwei Dämpfungselemente 14 eingebettet, die an der Außenseite des Motorgehäuses 2 bzw. der Innenwand des Griffteils angeordnet sind. Es handelt sich um eine schwingende Lagerung des Schwingungstilgers 13, wobei über das radial außen liegende Dämpfungselement 14 eine Wirkungsübertragung auf das Griffteil 4 sowie über das innen liegende Dämpfungselement eine Wirkungsübertragung auf das Motorgehäuse 2 stattfindet.In the embodiment according to circular sector III of the
In der Ausführungsvariante gemäß Kreissektor IV wird auf ein radial wirkendes Dämpfungselement im Zwischenraum 12 verzichtet. Der Schwingungstilger 13 ist zur Massenerhöhung auf der Außenseite des Griffteils 4 angeordnet und dort fest mit dem Griffteil verbunden.In the embodiment according to circular sector IV is dispensed with a radially acting damping element in the
Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Ein zweiter axialer Formschluss wird über ein Zusammenwirken eines radial überstehenden Fortsatzes 17 am Motorgehäuse 2 und einem radial eingebogenen Kragen 18 an der Stirnseite des Griffteiles 4 erzielt. Entfernt sich das Griffteil 4 axial von dem Motorgehäuse 2, gelangt der Kragen 18 in Anschlag mit dem radial überstehenden Fortsatz 17.A second axial positive engagement is achieved via an interaction of a
Zweckmäßigerweise gelangt der Kragen 18 bei der gleichen axialen Relativverschiebung in Anlage mit dem Fortsatz 17 wie der gekrümmte Abschnitt des Klemmteils 16 mit der Wandung der Auswölbung 15. Es kann ausreichen nur eines der Bauteile 16 bzw. 18 zur axialen Sicherung vorzusehen.Conveniently, the
Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Als Schwingungsreduktionselement ist ein Schwingungstilger 13 im Zwischenraum 12 angeordnet, der jedoch gegenüber dem Griffteil 4 relativbeweglich angeordnet ist. Hierzu ist der Schwingungstilger 13 über stirnseitige Federelemente 21 und 22 axial beweglich mit der äußeren Griffhülse 20 gekoppelt, wobei im Falle von Schwingungen, die vom Motorgehäuse 2 ausgehen, der Schwingungstilger 13 auf Grund seiner federnden Ankopplung an die äußere Griffhülse 20 Axialschwingungen ausführen kann, die zu einer Verschiebung kritischer Frequenzen in der äußeren Griffhülse 20 führen.As a vibration reduction element, a
Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein axial wirkender Schwingungstilger vorgesehen. Möglich ist aber auch ein radial wirkender Schwingungstilger, der in Radialrichtung relativbeweglich an einem Bauteil des Griffteils 4 angekoppelt ist.In the exemplary embodiment, an axially acting vibration damper is provided. It is also possible, however, a radially acting vibration absorber, which is coupled in a relatively movable manner in the radial direction to a component of the
Des Weiteren ist es möglich, den Schwingungstilger auch unmittelbar mit dem Motorgehäuse 2 bzw. der inneren Griffhülse 19 zu verbinden. Schließlich kommt noch eine Ausführung in Betracht mit einteiligem Griffteil, welches auf das Motorgehäuse aufgesetzt ist.Furthermore, it is possible to connect the vibration damper directly to the
