Abstract
A portable electric hammer drill incorporates an electric motor 12 disposed close to the handle 13 of the tool and with its axis of rotation at right angles to the axis of rotation of the drill bit holder 10, and a gear 15 on the motor shaft meshes with a first pinion 16 driving the holder in rotation. A second pinion 25 meshes with the first pinion 16 and drives the driving piston 30 of the mechanism for transmitting impacts to the holder. The axes of rotation of the holder 10, the first and second pinions and the gear 15 are coplanar, and the first and second pinions are on diametrically opposite sides of the said gear, the first pinion being nearer the holder. This arrangement enables the motor to be placed nearer the handle than if the first pinion were in direct mesh with the said gear, and thus improves the balance of the tool. The arrangement permits the diameters of the first and second pinions to be selected independently of each other. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Improvements relating to electric rotary hammer drills
This invention relates to electric hammer drills.
According to this invention there is provided an electric hammer drill comprising a casing having a handle at its rearward end and carrying at its forward end a forwardly projecting drill bit holder, an electric motor mounted just forward of the handle and disposed with its axis of rotation at right angles to the axis of rotation of the holder, said casing housing means for rotating the holder, means for delivering impacts to the holder, an output gear on the motor shaft, a first pinion meshing with the output gear and connected to drive said means for the holder, a second pinion meshing with the first pinion and connected to drive said means for delivering said impacts to the holder, the respective axes of rotation of the first and second pinions being at diametrically opposite sides of the axis of the motor shaft, the four said axes being contained in a common plane, and the said axis of the second pinion being further than the said axes of the first pinion and the motor shaft from the holder.
One embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing showing an electric hammer in axial section.
Referring to the drawing, there is shown a portable electric hammer drill equipped with a holder 10 for a drilling bit 11. The drill holder 10 is arranged to receive simultaneously a rotary drive and hammer blows. Both of these actions are transmitted to the drill holder from an electric motor 1 2 through respective mechanisms.
Motor 1 2 is mounted close to a handle 1 3 secured to the rear end of the drill casing and has its output shaft 14 extending at right angles to the axis of rotation of the holder.
The output shaft is formed with gear teeth 1 5 which mesh with an annular first pinion 1 6 rotatably mounted on a bearing 1 7 carried on a collar 1 8 secured to the casing of the drill.
A spindle 1 9 carrying a bevel gear 20 at one end extends coaxially through the pinion 16, and the pinion drives spindle 20 through an overload clutch mechanism. The bevel gear 20 meshes with the teeth of a bevel ring gear 22 splined on one end of a cylinder 21 of the striker mechanism. Cylinder 21 is rotatably supported in bearings 23 carried in the casing and its forward end portion 21 a has the tool holder 10 screwed on to it, so that the motor drives the tool in rotation through gear teeth 15, pinion 16, the overload clutch, bevel gear 20 and cylinder 21.
The gear teeth of the first pinion 1 6 extend axially beyond the end of the motor shaft 14, permitting a second pinion 25 to mesh with pinion 1 6. Pinion 25 is secured on a short shaft 26 rotatably mounted in bearings 27, 28 in the casing, and the rotational axes of pinions 1 6 and 25 and of the motor shaft 14 are coplanar with each other and with the axis of rotation of the cylinder 21.
The shaft of pinion 25 carries a crank-pin 29 at its end remote from motor 12, and a driver piston 30 mounted for reciprocation in the rotary cylinder 21 is coupled to the crankpin by a connecting rod 31. A striker piston 32 is slidably mounted in the forward end portion of the cylinder 21, and in the well known manner, air trapped between the driver and the striker pistons 30, 32 causes the striker piston to follow the reciprocatory movement of the driver piston but slightly out of phase therewith. An anvil 33 axially slidably mounted in a bore in the holder has a reduced-diameter portion 34 projecting into the forward end 21 a of the cylinder 21, and portion 34 is struck by the striker piston 32 during the forward movement of the latter and transmits the impacts to the adjacent end of the shank of the drilling bit 11.
It will be apparent that meshing of pinion 25 with pinion 1 6 and the relative disposition of the two pinions enables the motor to be mounted nearer to the handle by a distance substantially equal to the pitch circle diameter of the motor shaft teeth 1 5 than if pinion 25 meshed with teeth 1 5 directly at a location diametrically opposite pinion 1 6. Owing to the weight of the motor, it is advantageous to bring its centre of gravity as near to the hand grip as possible so as to improve the balance and handling of the drill. At the same time, the numbers of teeth on pinions 1 6 and 25 can be independently selected since neither number affects the other.
