Description

  The present invention relates to a power tool including a dial type operation device.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a grinder including a speed change dial that can adjust the number of rotations of a motor that is a drive source of a tip tool.

JP 2009-190131 A

  The shift dial of the grinder has a cylindrical fixed portion and a disc-shaped rotating portion, and is attached to a circuit board. The dial type operation device having such a configuration is usually connected to another component (typically a control unit) via a conductive wire connected to a circuit board. In this case, if the lead wire comes into contact with the dial, which is a rotating component, the lead wire may be damaged. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a configuration for protecting the lead wire. On the other hand, since the arrangement position of the operating device in the power tool is limited, it is preferable if the overall size of the device can be avoided.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the above-mentioned subject, and it aims at providing the structure for protecting a conducting wire in a power tool, without enlarging a dial type operating device.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, a power tool including a dial type operation device is provided. This power tool includes a main body, a dial, a conducting wire, and a partition wall.

  The main body includes a circuit board and a rotary variable resistor mounted on the circuit board. The variable resistor has a rotating shaft for setting a resistance value. The dial is connected to the rotating shaft. Further, the dial is configured to rotate integrally with the rotation shaft around a rotation axis extending in a direction orthogonal to the circuit board by an external operation. The conducting wire is connected to the conducting wire connection region of the circuit board. The partition is arranged to prevent contact between the dial and the conductive wire. The conductive wire connecting region is disposed so as to overlap at least one of the dial and the partition when viewed in the direction of the rotation axis, which is the extending direction of the rotation axis of the dial.

  In a dial type operation device for a power tool, at least a part of a radially outer region of the dial needs to be vacated as an operation region in which a user places a finger and rotates the dial. On the other hand, when a part of the dial is placed inside the power tool, a partition for protecting the conductor and a conductor are connected to the outside of the dial in the radial direction in consideration of the ease of connecting the conductor. It is conceivable that the conductive wire connection regions are arranged side by side. However, in this case, there is a problem that the entire apparatus is enlarged in the radial direction and it is difficult to secure a space in the power tool. On the other hand, with respect to the rotation axis direction of the dial, a dead space tends to occur on the circuit board side. In this aspect, paying attention to this point, the conductor connection region is arranged so as to overlap at least one of the dial and the partition wall in the direction of the rotation axis, thereby allowing the conductor to pass through this dead space. However, the conductor can be protected by preventing contact with the dial by the partition wall. Thereby, the structure which protects conducting wire can be provided, avoiding the enlargement of the whole apparatus in radial direction.

  In addition, the dial type operating device according to this aspect is a general device that is provided in the power device and can set the operation parameter of the power tool according to the rotation angle of the dial rotated by the external operation of the user. . Typical examples of the operating parameters of the power tool include target values or threshold values such as the motor rotation speed, torque, current, and voltage. Moreover, as a typical example of a power tool on which the dial type operation device of this aspect is mounted, there is an electric tool configured to drive a tip tool using a motor as a drive source.

  The rotary variable resistor is a well-known device configured such that the resistance value changes as the rotary shaft rotates. Such a known variable resistor typically includes a resistor body containing a resistor, and a rotating shaft that protrudes from the resistor body in the direction of the rotation axis and has a movable contact that can slide on the resistor. And the resistance value is changed by changing the position of the movable contact with the rotation of the rotating shaft.

  The partition wall only needs to be arranged so as to prevent contact between the dial and the conductive wire, and the position and shape of the partition are not particularly limited, but the area between the dial and the circuit board, and the outer periphery of the dial It is preferable to have a portion arranged in at least one of the radially outer regions.

  The lead wire connection region refers to a region including a connection portion between the lead wire and the circuit board. A typical example of the connection portion between the conductor and the circuit board is a connection hole formed in the circuit board and through which the conductor is inserted. “The conductive wire connection region overlaps at least one of the dial and the partition when viewed in the direction of the rotation axis, which is the extending direction of the rotation axis of the dial” includes the following three modes. A 1st aspect is a case where a conducting wire connection area | region overlaps both a dial and a partition as seen in a rotating shaft direction. A 2nd aspect is an aspect in which a conducting wire connection area | region overlaps only a dial seeing in a rotating shaft direction. A 3rd aspect is an aspect in which a conducting wire connection area | region overlaps only in a partition, seeing in a rotating shaft direction. In any aspect, from the viewpoint of reducing the overall size of the device in the radial direction of the dial, it is preferable that substantially the entire conductor connection region overlaps at least one of the dial and the partition wall.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, the conductor connection region may be sealed with resin in a state where the conductor is connected. According to this aspect, it is possible to protect the connecting portion between the conducting wire connection region and the conducting wire with the resin.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, the partition may be configured to be detachable from the main body. When the conductor is connected to the conductor connection area of the circuit board, a space for connection work (for example, a connecting instrument (typically, a soldering instrument) is arranged in the vicinity of the conductor connection area. Therefore, when the partition wall is formed integrally with the main body (when it cannot be attached / detached), restrictions on the arrangement position of the partition wall are likely to occur. The same applies to the case where the conductor connection region is sealed with resin. On the other hand, in this aspect, the partition wall can be attached after the work is performed in a state in which a sufficient space is ensured, and thus such a restriction is not imposed. Therefore, the lead wire connection region and the partition can be arranged as close as possible to the rotating shaft, and the device can be made compact in the radial direction of the dial. Moreover, compared with the case where the partition wall is formed integrally with the main body portion, the work of connecting the conducting wires and the sealing work with resin are facilitated.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, the partition wall may include an attachment portion that can be elastically deformed, and may be configured to be detachable from the main body portion using elastic deformation of the attachment portion. According to this aspect, the partition wall can be easily attached to the main body without the need for other parts such as screws, so that the work efficiency during assembly can be improved and the cost of parts can be suppressed. it can.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, the dial may be fitted in the rotation axis direction with respect to the rotation shaft. The partition wall may include a movement restricting portion configured to restrict movement of the dial in the protruding direction of the rotating shaft in the rotating shaft direction. According to this aspect, the dial can be attached to the rotating shaft without requiring other parts such as screws, and the dial can be attached to the main body by attaching the partition wall to the main body. It is possible to prevent it from coming off. Thereby, the work efficiency at the time of assembly can be improved and the component cost can be suppressed.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, the power tool may further include a motor for driving the tip tool and a control unit for controlling the motor. The dial is configured as a speed change dial for steplessly setting the rotation speed of the motor, and the control unit controls the rotation speed based on the resistance value of the variable resistor according to the rotation angle of the dial. It may be configured. According to this aspect, the user can adjust the rotation speed of the motor steplessly by rotating the speed change dial.

  According to an aspect of the present invention, the power tool has a tool mounting portion configured to be detachable from the tip tool, and reciprocally rotates around a predetermined axis within a predetermined angle range by the power of the motor. By doing so, you may further provide the spindle comprised so that the front-end | tip tool with which the tool mounting part was mounted | worn may be rock | fluctuated. A power tool (so-called vibration tool) that swings a tip tool mounted on a spindle performs various types of machining operations (typically cutting, peeling, grinding, polishing) depending on the tip tool to be mounted. Is possible. According to this aspect, the user can adjust the rotation speed of the motor (that is, the number of times the tip tool swings per unit time) according to the machining operation.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, a power tool includes a first housing that houses a spindle, a grip portion that can be gripped by a user, and is connected to the first housing via an elastic member. And a second housing. The dial type operation device may be disposed in the second housing. In a power tool (so-called vibration tool) that swings a tip tool mounted on a spindle, vibration is generated in the first housing in accordance with the drive of the spindle. According to this aspect, since the 2nd housing which has a holding part is connected with the 1st housing via the elastic member, transmission of vibration to a holding part can be controlled. Moreover, the dial type operation device which is an electrical component can be protected from vibration by arranging the dial type operation device in the second housing.

In the left-right direction, the elastic ribs 371 of the left shell 391 and the elastic ribs 371 of the right shell 392 extend so as to be spaced apart from each other toward the rear.

  Each elastic rib 371 is formed in a curved strip shape, and is given flexibility. Thereby, the elastic rib 371 can be elastically deformed. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the four elastic ribs 371 are formed of a material having a lower elastic coefficient than other portions of the resin housing 39 (that is, the motor cover portion 311, the extending portion 35, and the rear end portion 33). Has been. Specifically, the other portion is made of glass fiber reinforced polyamide, while the elastic rib 371 is made of polyacetal containing no reinforcing fiber. However, the material of the resin housing 39 is not limited to this example. For example, when the other part is formed of glass fiber reinforced polyamide, the elastic rib 371 may be formed of polycarbonate or ABS resin (both of which do not include reinforcing fiber). In the present embodiment, the left shell 391 and the right shell 392 are members integrally formed as a whole, although only the elastic ribs 371 are made of different materials. As described above, in the present embodiment, each elastic rib 371 is formed in a shape that is more easily elastically deformed than other portions of the resin housing 39 and is formed of a material having a low elastic coefficient. The elastic modulus is lower than that of the portion.

  Here, a connection structure between the metal housing 38 of the inner housing 3 and the resin housing 39 will be described. In the present embodiment, the metal housing 38 and the resin housing 39 are connected in the front-rear direction by connecting the contact portion 387 and the portion of the resin housing 39 that constitutes the front end portion of the extending portion 35. In the vertical direction, the metal housing 38 and the resin housing 39 are connected to the upper end portion of the motor housing portion 383 via the motor cover portion 311. Details will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the left and right side surfaces of the contact portion 387 are each formed as a plane parallel to the vertical plane VP (that is, a plane whose normal direction is the left-right direction). The left and right side surfaces of the contact portion 387 are surfaces that contact the second contact surface 390 of the resin housing 39 when the metal housing 38 and the resin housing 39 are connected. Therefore, hereinafter, the left and right side surfaces of the contact portion 387 are also referred to as first contact surfaces 380. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the contact portion 387 is provided with two through holes 388 that penetrate the contact portion 387 in the left-right direction. The two through holes 388 are arranged at positions offset from each other in the left-right direction and the up-down direction.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, two projecting portions 394 that project toward the vertical plane VP are provided on the inner side of the left shell 391 and the right shell 392 at the front end portion of the extending portion 35. . As shown in FIG. 8, each protrusion 394 has a shape in which a cylinder having a diameter larger than that of the through hole 388 of the contact portion 387 and a cylinder having substantially the same diameter as the through hole 388 are continuously arranged in a coaxial manner. Hereinafter, the large-diameter column portion is referred to as a large-diameter portion 395, and the small-diameter column portion is referred to as a small-diameter portion 396.

The protruding end surface of the large-diameter portion 395 is a surface that contacts the first contact surface 380 when the metal housing 38 and the resin housing 39 are connected. Therefore, hereinafter, the protruding end surface of the large diameter portion 395 is also referred to as a second contact surface 390. The small diameter portion 396 is a portion that is inserted into the through hole 388 when the metal housing 38 and the resin housing 39 are connected. For this reason, in each of the left shell 391 and the right shell 392, the two protrusions 394 are disposed at positions corresponding to the through holes 388. Each protrusion 394 of the left shell 391 is formed with a stepped through hole 397 that penetrates in the left-right direction along its axis, and each protrusion 394 of the right shell 392 has a right and left along its axis. A screw hole 398 penetrating in the direction is formed.

  When connecting the metal housing 38 and the resin housing 39, the assembly operator of the vibration tool 100 sandwiches the rear end portion of the metal housing 38 between the left shell 391 and the right shell 392 from the left and right directions. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the second contact surface 390 of the large-diameter portion 395 contacts the first contact surface 380 of the contact portion 387, and the left shell is inserted into the through hole 388 of the contact portion 387. 391 and the small diameter portion 396 of the right shell 392 are inserted from the left and right. The protruding length of the small diameter portion 396 from the large diameter portion 395 is approximately one half of the plate thickness (width in the left-right direction) of the contact portion 387. In this state, the operator inserts a fixing screw 389 into the through-hole 397 of the left shell 391 from the left, and is screwed into the screw hole 398 of the right shell 392, so that the left shell 391 and the contact portion 387 are engaged. , And the right shell 392. Due to the axial force of the screw 389, the left shell 391, the abutting portion 387, and the right shell 392 are firmly connected in the left-right direction without any gap.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, screw insertion portions 385 projecting in a semicircular cross section outwardly in the radial direction of the motor housing portion 383 and extending in the vertical direction are provided at four locations in the circumferential direction of the motor housing portion 383. It has been. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, screw holes 313 extending in the vertical direction are formed in the motor cover portion 311 at four locations corresponding to the screw insertion portions 385. The operator inserts a screw 386 into a through hole formed between the screw insertion portion 385 and the motor 53 from below the motor housing portion 383 and further engages with the screw hole 313, whereby the motor housing portion 383. And the motor cover 311 are connected. Note that the screw 386 is arranged loosely between the screw insertion portion 385 and the motor 53.

  In addition to the above connection locations, the assembly operator fits the bosses formed on the left shell 391 and the right shell 392 at a plurality of locations and connects them with screws as shown in FIGS. Thus, the inner housing 3 of this embodiment can be assembled very easily.

  Hereinafter, the internal structure of the inner housing 3 will be described.

  First, the internal structure of the front end portion 31 will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the front end portion 31 of the inner housing 3 accommodates the tip tool drive mechanism 5 and the lock mechanism 6.

  The spindle 51 is a hollow, substantially cylindrical long member. In the present embodiment, the spindle 51 is accommodated in the lower part of the spindle accommodating portion 381 and is supported by two bearings so as to be rotatable around the axis A1. The spindle 51 has a flange-like tool mounting portion 511 protruding outward in the radial direction at the lower end exposed to the outside from the housing 1. The tool mounting portion 511 is a portion configured to be detachable from the tip tool 91. In the present embodiment, the tip tool 91 is sandwiched between the tool mounting portion 511 and the clamp head 521 of the clamp shaft 52 held at the clamp position by the lock mechanism 6 described later.

  The motor 53 as a drive source is housed in the motor housing portion 383 so that the axis A2 of the output shaft 531 that rotates together with the rotor extends in parallel (that is, in the vertical direction) with the axis A1 of the spindle 51. In this embodiment, the output shaft 531 protrudes downward from the rotor. In the present embodiment, a small and high output brushless DC motor is employed as the motor 53.

  The transmission mechanism 55 is configured to transmit the rotational motion of the motor 53 to the spindle 51 and to reciprocate the spindle 51 within a predetermined angular range around the axis A1. The transmission mechanism 55 is disposed in the metal housing 38 across the lower portion of the spindle housing portion 381 and the lower portion of the motor housing portion 383. The transmission mechanism 55 of the present embodiment includes an eccentric shaft 551, a swing arm 553, and a drive bearing 555. In addition, since the structure of the transmission mechanism 55 is known, it demonstrates easily here. The eccentric shaft 551 is coaxially connected to the output shaft 531 of the motor 53, and has an eccentric portion that is eccentric with respect to the axis A2. A drive bearing 555 is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the eccentric portion. The swing arm 553 is a member that connects the drive bearing 555 and the spindle 51. As shown in FIG. 9, one end of the swing arm 553 is formed in an annular shape and is fixed to the outer periphery of the spindle 51. On the other hand, the other end portion of the swing arm 553 is formed in a bifurcated shape and is disposed so as to contact the outer peripheral portion of the drive bearing 555 from the left and right.

  When the motor 53 is driven, the eccentric shaft 551 rotates integrally with the output shaft 531. As the eccentric shaft 551 rotates, the center of the eccentric portion moves around the axis A2, so that the drive bearing 555 also moves around the axis A2. As a result, the swing arm 553 is swung within a predetermined angle range with the spindle 51 as a fulcrum. Since one end of the swing arm 553 is fixed to the spindle 51, the spindle 51 reciprocates around the axis A1 within a predetermined angular range in accordance with the swing motion of the swing arm 553. As a result, the tip tool 91 fixed to the spindle 51 (more specifically, the tool mounting portion 511) is driven to swing within the swing surface OP, so that the machining operation can be performed.

  Hereinafter, the lock mechanism 6 will be described. The lock mechanism 6 is a mechanism configured to lock the clamp shaft 52 at a clamp position (position shown in FIGS. 7 and 10) where the tip tool 91 can be clamped with the spindle 51. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the clamp shaft 52 is a substantially cylindrical long member configured to be coaxially inserted into the spindle 51 in the direction of the axis A <b> 1. The clamp shaft 52 has a flange-shaped clamp head 521 at the lower end. A groove 523 is provided at the upper end of the clamp shaft 52. The groove portion 523 is a portion in which a plurality of grooves dug over the entire circumference of the clamp shaft 52 are formed in the vertical direction.

  The lock mechanism 6 of the present embodiment is disposed above the spindle 51 in the spindle accommodating portion 381. The lock mechanism 6 includes a compression coil spring 63, a collar 65, and a pair of clamp members 67. Since the configuration of the lock mechanism 6 is well known, it will be briefly described here. The collar 65 is formed in an annular shape, and is rotatably supported by a bearing held in the upper portion of the spindle accommodating portion 381. The collar 65 is always urged upward by a compression coil spring 63 disposed between the spindle 51 and the collar 65. The pair of clamp members 67 are arranged so as to be opposed to each other in the front-rear direction in a space formed inside the collar 65 while being constantly biased downward. On the surfaces of the pair of clamp members 67 facing each other, a protrusion 671 is provided. The protrusion 671 is a part in which a plurality of protrusions extending in the horizontal direction are formed in the vertical direction.

  The lock mechanism 6 is configured to operate in conjunction with the turning operation of the operation lever 61 by the user. The operation lever 61 is connected to the rotation shaft 62. The rotation shaft 62 is supported by the outer housing 2 so as to be rotatable around a rotation axis extending in the left-right direction above the lock mechanism 6. The rotation shaft 62 rotates in accordance with the rotation operation of the operation lever 61.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the rotation shaft 62 is formed with an eccentric portion 621 that is eccentric with respect to the rotation axis. When the operation lever 61 is arranged at the lock position shown in FIG. 1, the portion of the eccentric portion 621 having a smaller diameter is arranged away from the collar 65 and upward as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10. The collar 65 is urged upward by the compression coil spring 63 and disposed at the uppermost position. On the other hand, the clamp member 67 is biased downward. For this reason, the clamp member 67 is moved radially inward of the collar 65 by the action of the inclined surface formed on a part of the inner peripheral surface of the collar 65 and a part of the outer peripheral surface of the clamp member 67. Accordingly, the protrusion 671 and the groove 523 are engaged, and the clamp shaft 52 is clamped by the clamp member 67. In this state, the clamp shaft 52 is urged upward by the compression coil spring 63 and is locked at the clamp position, whereby the tip tool 91 is clamped between the tool mounting portion 511 and the clamp head 521 and is clamped with respect to the spindle 51. Fixed.

  On the other hand, when the operation lever 61 is pivoted upward from the lock position shown in FIG. 1 and disposed at the lock release position, the larger diameter portion of the eccentric portion 621 contacts the upper end portion of the collar 65 from above, The collar 65 is pushed down against the urging force of the compression coil spring 63. The clamp member 67 is also pushed down together with the collar 65, but further downward movement is prohibited at a predetermined position. When only the collar 65 is further moved to the lowest position in this state, the contact between the collar 65 and the inclined surface formed on the clamp member 67 is released, and the clamp member 67 becomes movable in the radial direction. That is, the lock of the clamp shaft 52 is released, and the user can pull out the clamp shaft 52 from the spindle 51.

  The internal structure of the rear end portion 33 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, in the battery mounting portion 331 constituting the rear portion of the rear end portion 33, the power supply terminal of the battery 93 is associated with the battery 93 being engaged with the battery mounting portion 331. A power receiving terminal and the like that can be electrically connected to each other are provided. In addition, since the battery mounting part 331 and its internal structure itself are known, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. The control unit 4 is accommodated in the control unit accommodation portion 332 that constitutes the front portion of the rear end portion 33. In the present embodiment, the control unit 4 includes a substrate on which a CPU that controls driving of the motor 53 and a switching element that operates based on a control signal from the CPU are mounted.

The pair of first holding portions 203 are provided on the left side portion and the right side portion of the main body portion 202, respectively, and have recesses that open to the left and right, respectively. A rear elastic member 76 is fitted in the recess of each first holding portion 203. The rear elastic member 76 has a through hole 761 at the center. As the rear elastic member 76, for example, a urethane foam having an ultrafine foam structure can be employed. In the present embodiment, as the rear elastic member 76, the same microcellular polyurethane elastomer as the front elastic member 71 is employed. The pair of first arm portions 204 are portions protruding leftward and rightward from the left rear end portion and the right rear end portion of the main body portion 202, respectively. As shown in FIG. 16, the pair of cylindrical portions 206 are cylindrical portions that protrude downward from the left rear end portion and the right rear end portion of the main body portion 202.

Similar to the first holding part 203, the rear elastic member 76 is fitted in the recess of each second holding part 333. The first arm portion 204 of the switch holder 20 is disposed inside (vertical surface VP side) of the rear elastic member 76 fitted into the second holding portion 333, and the tip end portion 205 of the first arm portion 204 is It is fitted in the through hole 761. The pair of second arm portions 334 protrude obliquely forward from the pair of second holding portions 333 so as to be close to each other toward the front. A protruding portion 335 that protrudes toward the rear elastic member 76 fitted in the first holding portion 203 is provided at the distal end portion of the second arm portion 334. The protruding portion 335 is fitted in the through hole 761 of the rear elastic member 76 fitted in the first holding portion 203.

  As described above, the first holding portion 203 and the first arm portion 204 of the switch holder 20 and the second holding portion 333 and the second arm portion 334 of the rear end portion 33 are alternately arranged on the left side and the right side of the switch holder 20. Is combined. Therefore, when one of the switch holder 20 and the rear end portion 33 is provided with two holding portions for the rear elastic member 76 and the other is provided with two arm portions whose front end portions are fitted to the rear elastic member 76. In comparison, a compact arrangement of the four rear elastic members 76 is realized.

  As described above, an opening that connects the internal space 370 and the outside is formed between the elastic ribs 371 adjacent in the circumferential direction. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 13, the switch holder 20 can be easily disposed in the internal space 370 through the openings between the elastic ribs 371. Moreover, in this embodiment, parts other than the main-body part 202 among the switch holders 20 protrude outside from the internal space 370 through the opening. That is, the opening between the elastic ribs 371 is used as a connection path between the switch holder 20 and the rear end portion 33. For this reason, after arrange | positioning the switch holder 20 in the internal space 370, the switch holder 20 and the rear-end part 33 can be easily connected via an opening part.

  With the above configuration, the switch holder 20 is connected to the rear end portion 33 via the pair of rear elastic members 76 on the left and right sides of the main body portion 202, and on the left and right diagonally rear sides of the main body portion 202. The rear end portion 33 is connected via an elastic member 76. Further, the switch holder 20 is connected to the upper shell 27 and the lower shell 28 through a pair of cylindrical portions 206 as a part of the outer housing 2.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, at the rear end portion 23 of the outer housing 2, a pair of left and right through holes 283 are formed on the lower surface of the lower shell 28. Are formed with a pair of left and right cylindrical portions 273 projecting downward. A female screw is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 273. The cylindrical portion 273 of the upper shell 27 is fitted into a large diameter portion formed at the upper end portion of the cylindrical portion 206 of the switch holder 20, and a screw 207 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 206 from the lower side of the through hole 283, so that the cylindrical portion 273 The switch holder 20 is fixed to the upper shell 27 and the lower shell 28 by being screwed together. In the assembly operation of the housing 1, the switch holder 20 is fixed to the upper shell 27 and the lower shell 28 after being connected to the rear end portion 33 via the rear elastic member 76. Also in this case, the opening between the elastic ribs 371 is used as a connection path between the switch holder 20 and the outer housing 2. Thereby, the switch holder 20 which is a part of the outer housing 2 can be easily assembled in the internal space 370 of the elastic connecting portion 37.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the distal end portion 205 of the first arm portion 204 and the protruding portion 335 of the second arm portion 334 are respectively provided with the rear elastic member 76 and the concave portions of the second holding portion 333 and the first holding portion 203. In a state where it is pressed toward the bottom part, a gap is provided between the bottom part and the bottom part. Further, the outer peripheral portions of the distal end portion 205 and the protruding portion 335 are covered with the rear elastic member 76 over the entire circumference. For this reason, the front-end | tip part 205 is relatively movable within the recessed part of the 2nd holding | maintenance part 333, compressing the back side elastic member 76 about any direction of an up-down direction, the front-back direction, and the left-right direction. Similarly, the protruding portion 335 is relatively movable in the concave portion of the first holding portion 203 while compressing the rear elastic member 76 in any of the vertical direction, the front-rear direction, and the left-right direction. As described above, the switch holder 20 as a part of the outer housing 2 is coupled to the rear end portion 33 of the inner housing 3 through the rear elastic member 76 so as to be relatively movable in all directions.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the switch 29 is configured to move the movable contact between the on position and the off position with respect to the fixed contact in accordance with the operation of the slider 290 (see FIG. 2). The switch lever 291 is connected. The switch lever 291 has a rotating portion 292 that is rotatably supported by the switch holder 20. The rotating part 292 is rotatably connected to an operating part (not shown) connected to the switch 29. As shown in FIG. 13, the rotating portion 292 protrudes above the inner housing 3 from an opening formed between the two upper elastic ribs 371 without interfering with the elastic ribs 371. As shown in FIG. 2, the upper end portion of the rotating portion 292 is rotatably connected to one end portion of the interlocking portion 293. The interlocking portion 293 extends in the front-rear direction between the inner housing 3 and the outer housing 2, and is connected to the slider 290 at the other end portion. With such a configuration, the switch lever 291 moves the movable contact between the on position and the off position with respect to the fixed contact in accordance with the operation of the slider 290.

  In the present embodiment, the switch holder 20 is configured not only as a switch 29 but also as a holding member for the transmission dial unit 8. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, a dial holding portion 209 into which the transmission dial unit 8 can be fitted is provided on the upper portion of the rear side portion of the switch holder 20. The speed change dial unit 8 is arranged so that the rotating shaft of the dial 87 (the axis A3 of the rotating shaft 822 described later) extends in the front-rear direction, and the upper portion thereof is exposed upward from the dial holding portion 209. Is retained. As described above, when the switch holder 20 is fixed to the upper shell 27 and the lower shell 28, a part of the outer periphery of the dial 87 is formed on the upper surface of the outer housing 2, as shown in FIG. It is exposed to the outside of the outer housing 2 through the through-hole 275. The configuration of the transmission dial unit 8 will be described in detail later.

  As shown in FIG. 12, an intermediate elastic member 78 is disposed between the outer housing 2 and the inner housing 3 in addition to the front elastic member 71 and the rear elastic member 76. Specifically, the left rear end portion and the right rear end portion of the extending portion 35 are each formed as a step portion 353 that is recessed toward the center in the left-right direction. A rectangular parallelepiped intermediate elastic member 78 is bonded to each stepped portion 353. In the present embodiment, the intermediate elastic member 78 is disposed with a slight gap between the intermediate elastic member 78 and the outer housing 2 (gripping portion 25) in the left-right direction, and the extending portion 35 and the gripping portion 25 are always provided. It is not elastically connected. Unlike the front elastic member 71 and the rear elastic member 76, the intermediate elastic member 78 corresponds only to the left-right direction that is the reciprocating rotation direction of the spindle 51, and the inner housing 3 is left and right with respect to the outer housing 2. Restrict relative movement in the direction. In the present embodiment, the intermediate elastic member 78 is also made of the same microcellular polyurethane elastomer as the front elastic member 71.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the vibration tool 100 will be described. The user attaches the tip tool 91 corresponding to the desired machining operation to the tool attachment portion 511, grasps the grasping portion 25, and switches the slider 290 to the on position. As a result, the switch 29 is turned on via the switch lever 291. The control unit 4 (specifically, the CPU) starts driving the motor 53 in response to the switch 29 being turned on. The control unit 4 sets the number of rotations of the motor 53 based on a resistance value set via a speed change dial unit 8 described later. As the motor 53 is driven, the spindle 51 reciprocates around the axis A1 within a predetermined angle range, and the tip tool 91 swings in the swing surface OP (in the case of the illustrated blade, generally in the left-right direction). Let When the user presses the tip tool 91 against the workpiece, the vibration tool 100 can perform a machining operation.

  During the machining operation, a relatively large vibration is likely to occur at the front end portion 31 of the inner housing 3 that houses the tip tool driving mechanism 5. Of these, the most dominant is the vibration in the swing direction of the tip tool 91 in the swing surface OP. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the contact portion of the metal housing 38 in a state where the first contact surface 380 and the second contact surface 390 intersecting the swing surface OP are in contact with each other. 387 and the protrusion 394 of the resin housing 39 are connected. Thereby, the metal housing 38 and the resin housing 39 can be connected while effectively suppressing the relative movement in the swinging direction. Moreover, since the 1st contact surface 380 and the 2nd contact surface 390 cross | intersect the rocking | fluctuation surface OP, it can suppress that a relative slip generate | occur | produces between both. For this reason, generation | occurrence | production of the heat_generation | fever and abnormal vibration resulting from a relative slip can be suppressed effectively. Thus, in the inner housing 3 of the present embodiment, a simple and rational connection structure is realized.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, two contact areas where the first contact surface 380 and the second contact surface 390 are in contact with each other correspond to the two protrusions 394. Compared with the case where the contact area is provided only at one place, the relative movement of the metal housing 38 and the resin housing 39 in the swinging direction can be more reliably suppressed. Further, by fixing the contact portion 387 between the left shell 391 and the right shell 392 with screws 389, it is possible to realize a strong connection structure between the contact portion 387, the left shell 391, and the right shell 392. it can.

  Note that the upper end surface 384 of the motor housing portion 383 and the lower end surface 312 (see FIG. 5) of the motor cover portion 311 are both mating surfaces parallel to the swing surface OP, but in this embodiment, the metal housing 38 and Since the relative movement in the swinging direction of the resin housing 39 is suppressed, the possibility that the upper end surface 384 and the lower end surface 312 slide and generate heat can be effectively reduced.

  Regarding the transmission of vibration from the inner housing 3 to the outer housing 2, first, the front elastic member 71 (see FIG. 14) interposed between the recess 382 of the metal housing 38 and the connecting member 72 fixed to the outer housing 2. ) Can suppress transmission of vibration from the front end portion 31 to the outer housing 2 (particularly, the grip portion 25).

  In the present embodiment, the spindle 51, the motor 53, and the transmission mechanism 55, which are heavy objects in the vibration tool 100, are concentrated on the front end portion 31, while the battery mounting portion 331 provided at the rear end portion 33 is A configuration in which a corresponding heavy object such as the battery 93 is mounted is employed. As a result, the inertia moment of the inner housing 3 when the battery 93 is attached can be increased as compared with the case where the battery attaching portion 331 is provided in the vicinity of the front end portion 31, and therefore vibrations generated in the inner housing 3. It can reduce itself. Further, even when a certain load is applied to the tip tool 91, the inner housing 3 can be prevented from being unnecessarily rotated with respect to the outer housing 2 around the spindle 51.

  Further, the plurality of elastic ribs 371 (see FIG. 13) that connect the extending portion 35 and the rear end portion 33 suppress the transmission of vibration from the front end portion 31 to the rear end portion 33, so that the battery mounting portion 331 and the battery Protection of electrical components such as 93 terminals is achieved. In particular, since the elastic rib 371 is formed so that the elastic coefficient is lower than that of the extending portion 35 and the rear end portion 33, vibration transmission from the extending portion 35 to the rear end portion 33 is more effective. Can be suppressed. In addition, two elastic ribs 371 are provided for each of the left side portion and the right side portion (the left shell 391 and the right shell 392) of the extension portion 35, so that the extension portion 35, the rear end portion 33, Can be connected in a stable state in the left-right direction.

  Further, the rear end portion 33 is connected to a part of the outer housing 2 (switch holder 20) via a rear elastic member 76 (see FIG. 12). The vibration transmitted to the rear end portion 33 is reduced by the elastic rib 371 compared to the vibration generated at the front end portion 31. Therefore, when the rear end portion 33 is coupled to the outer housing 2 via the rear elastic member 76, the vibration transmitted to the outer housing 2 is less than when the other portion (for example, the extending portion 35) is coupled. Can be reduced. In addition to the front end portion 31, the rear end portion 33 provided with the battery mounting portion 331 is also elastically connected to the outer housing 2, so that the positional relationship between the outer housing 2 and the battery 93 can be stabilized. . In particular, in the present embodiment, one front elastic member 71 is disposed on each of the left and right sides of the inner housing 3, and two rear elastic members 76 are disposed on the left and right sides of the inner housing 3, thereby ensuring more certainty. Stabilization can be achieved.

  In the present embodiment, the switch holder 20 is disposed in the internal space 370 of the elastic connecting portion 37 as a part of the outer housing 2 connected to the rear end portion 33. Thereby, the switch 29 which is an electrical component can be held by the outer housing 2 with less vibration than the inner housing 3 while effectively utilizing the internal space 370. Further, by utilizing the switch holder 20 as a holding member for the speed change dial unit 8 that is also an electrical component, the speed change dial unit 8 can be efficiently held by the outer housing 2 without increasing the number of parts. it can.

  When an excessive load is applied to the tip tool 91 and the inner housing 3 tries to rotate in the left-right direction with respect to the outer housing 2 around the spindle 51, the inner tool 3 is disposed on the left and right of the rear end portion of the extending portion 35. The intermediate elastic member 78 prevents this. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the inner housing 3 from coming into contact with the outer housing 2 and increase the vibration transmitted to the outer housing 2. In this way, the user can comfortably perform the machining operation using the vibration tool 100 with effective vibration suppression measures taken.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the transmission dial unit 8 will be described. The transmission dial unit 8 is configured as an operation device for setting the number of rotations of the motor 53 in a stepless manner in accordance with the rotation operation of the user's dial 87. As shown in FIGS. Part 81, dial 87, conducting wire 840, and partition wall 88 are included. Hereinafter, these components will be described in order.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the present embodiment, the main body 81 includes a variable resistor 82, a collar 83, a circuit board 84, and a case 85.

  The variable resistor 82 is configured as a rotary variable resistor having a known configuration. Therefore, in brief, the variable resistor 82 includes a main body 821 containing a resistor, and a rotating shaft 822 that protrudes from the main body 821 in the direction of the axis A3 and has a movable contact (in the figure, the main body 821). 821 and the entire variable resistor 82 including the rotating shaft 822 are simplified and shown as one unit). The variable resistor 82 has a resistance value corresponding to a contact position between the movable contact and the resistor by sliding the movable contact on the resistor in the main body 821 by rotating the rotary shaft 822 around the axis A3. Is configured to change. The rotary shaft 822 has a D-shaped cross section perpendicular to the axis A3 (see FIG. 18).

  In the following, regarding the direction of the speed change dial unit 8 not assembled to the vibration tool 100, the direction of the axis A3 is defined as the vertical direction, the protruding end side of the rotary shaft 822 is the upper side, and the main body 821 side is the lower side. It is defined as

  As shown in FIGS. 18 to 20, the collar 83 is formed in an annular shape and is arranged around the variable resistor 82 so as to be coaxial with the axis A <b> 3 of the rotating shaft 822. The collar 83 is configured so that a partition wall 88 to be described later can be attached. Specifically, a pair of locking recesses 831 that can be engaged with a pair of locking arms 882 of the partition wall 88 are provided on the outer periphery of the collar 83. The engagement between the partition wall 88 and the collar 83 will be described later. Further, a concave portion is formed in the inner peripheral portion of the collar 83 arranged around the rotary shaft 822, and an O-ring 832 is fitted into the concave portion. The O-ring 832 is configured to hold the dial 87 by frictional resistance while allowing the user to rotate the dial 87 steplessly. In addition, a restriction piece 833 that protrudes radially inward from a part of the inner periphery of the collar 83 is provided below the O-ring 832. The restricting piece 833 is configured to restrict the rotation of the dial 87 by abutting against a protrusion 872 (see FIG. 22) of the dial 87 described later.

  The circuit board 84 shown in FIG. 19 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and has a conductor connection region 841 in the region of one end portion in the longitudinal direction. The conductor connection area 841 is an area including a connection hole 842 to which the conductor 840 is connected. In the present embodiment, the circuit board 84 is provided with three connection holes 842 corresponding to the number of terminals of the variable resistor 82. The conducting wire 840 is electrically connected to the circuit board 84 by being inserted into each connection hole 842 and soldered to the circuit board 84. A variable resistor 82 and a collar 83 are fixed to a region of the circuit board 84 other than the conductor connection region 841. The terminal 825 of the variable resistor 82 is inserted into the connection hole 844 of the circuit board 84 and soldered, and electrically connected to the conductor 840 soldered to the connection hole 842 of the conductor connection region 841. Yes. When the vertical direction and the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the circuit board 84 (up and down direction in FIG. 20) are defined as the left and right direction of the speed change dial unit 8, the above-described state is obtained with the collar 83 fixed to the circuit board 84. The pair of locking recesses 831 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line of the collar 83 in the left-right direction.

  The case 85 is formed in a box shape that opens upward. The case 85 is configured as a container that accommodates the variable resistor 82, the collar 83, and the circuit board 84. The conductive wire 840, the variable resistor 82, and the collar 83 are arranged so as to protrude in the same direction from the same surface of the circuit board 84. The circuit board 84 is disposed inside the case 85 in a state in which the conductive wire 840, the variable resistor 82, and the collar 83 protrude upward from the opening of the case 85. The circuit board 84 is sealed with a resin 845 (typically an epoxy resin) injected into the case 85 in a state where the conducting wire 840, the variable resistor 82, and the collar 83 are mounted.

  As shown in FIGS. 17, 21, and 22, the dial 87 is a disk-shaped member that is turned by a user, and has a D-shaped cross section corresponding to the rotary shaft 822 at the center. A hole 871 is provided. The dial 87 is attached to the rotation shaft 822 by being fitted to the rotation shaft 822 in the direction of the axis A3. An annular stepped recess 873 that is recessed upward about the axis A3 is formed on the lower surface of the dial 87. An upper end portion of the collar 83 is inserted into the stepped recess 873, and an O-ring 832 is disposed between the collar 83 and the lower center portion of the dial 87. When the dial 87 is rotated, the dial 87 and the rotary shaft 822 are integrally rotated around the axis A3 while the lower center portion of the dial 87 slides on the O-ring 832. Thereby, the resistance value of the variable resistor 82 is changed. A protrusion 872 protruding downward toward the variable resistor 82 is provided in a part of the lower center portion of the dial 87 (see FIG. 22). When the dial 87 is rotated to a position where the protrusion 872 contacts the restriction piece 833 provided on the collar 83, further rotation of the dial 87 is restricted. That is, the rotation range of the dial 87 is limited to a certain angle range by the restriction piece 833 and the protrusion 872.

  The partition wall 88 is a wall portion configured to prevent contact between the dial 87 and the conductive wire 840 connected to the conductive wire connection region 841. In the present embodiment, the partition wall 88 is configured to be detachable from the collar 83. As shown in FIGS. 18, 23, and 24, the partition wall 88 includes a mounting portion 881, an interposition portion 884, and a retaining portion 887.

  The attachment portion 881 is a lower portion of the partition wall 88 arranged along the outer peripheral portion of the collar 83. Both ends of the mounting portion 881 in the circumferential direction of the collar 83 are configured as a pair of locking arms 882 having flexibility. The pair of locking arms 882 can be elastically deformed in the radial direction of the collar 83. The partition wall 88 is attached to the main body 81 (specifically, the collar 83) by the claw at the distal end of the locking arm 882 being locked to the locking recess 831 by elastic deformation of the locking arm 882. Yes.

  The interposition portion 884 is an upper portion of the partition wall 88 extending above the attachment portion 881 and is interposed between the outer peripheral portion of the dial 87 and the conductor 840 to prevent the dial 87 and the conductor 840 from contacting each other. Is configured to do. The interposition portion 884 extends from the attachment portion 881 along the lower surface of the dial 87 to the outside in the radial direction of the dial 87, and extends along the outer peripheral portion of the dial 87 to the upper end of the dial 87. Note that both end portions in the circumferential direction of the portion arranged along the outer peripheral portion of the dial 87 protrude in a direction away from the dial 87. The intervening portion 884 is disposed so as to overlap the conductive wire connection region 841 of the circuit board 84 when viewed from the extending direction of the axis A3 of the rotating shaft 822 (that is, viewed from the upper direction or the lower direction). In the present embodiment, the dial 87 is also disposed so as to overlap the conductor connection region 841. In other words, the interposition portion 884 and the dial 87 are arranged so that at least a part thereof is included in the region directly above the conductor connection region 841.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 21, the conductive wire 840 connected to the connection hole 842 and sealed with the resin 845 in the case 85 extends upward from the conductive wire connection region 841 and is exposed from the resin 845. . Above this, an interposition portion 884 of the partition wall 88 is disposed along the outer peripheral portion from the lower surface of the dial 87. Therefore, when the conducting wire 840 extends upward as it is, the interposition portion 884 is interposed between the dial 87 and the contact with the dial 87 is prevented. For this reason, the conducting wire 840 is bent below the interposition part 884 and extends on the outer peripheral side of the interposition part 884. In addition, the both ends of the circumferential direction of the part arrange | positioned along the outer peripheral part of the dial 87 among the interposition parts 884 function as a guide part which guides so that the conducting wire 840 may not deviate in the left-right direction (refer FIG. 17). .

  The retaining portion 887 protrudes from the upper end of the interposition portion 884 toward the axis A3 (inward in the radial direction of the dial 87), and is disposed slightly above the upper surface of the dial 87. This restricts the dial 87 fitted to the rotating shaft 822 from moving upward (in the protruding direction of the rotating shaft 822). That is, the retaining portion 887 prevents the dial 87 from coming off the rotating shaft 822.

  According to the speed change dial unit 8 configured as described above, the conducting wire 840 can be protected by the partition wall 88 (particularly, the interposition portion 884) disposed so as to prevent the contact between the dial 87 and the conducting wire 840. In the present embodiment, attention is paid to the fact that a dead space is likely to be generated on the circuit board 84 side with respect to the rotation axis direction (axis A3) of the dial 87, and at least one of the dial 87 and the partition wall 88 is seen in the axis A3 direction. Conductive wire connection region 841 is arranged so as to overlap. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 21, the conductor 840 can be protected by blocking the contact between the conductor 840 and the dial 87 by the partition wall 88 while allowing the conductor 840 to pass through this dead space. . Thereby, the structure which protects the conducting wire 840 can be provided, avoiding the enlargement of the speed change dial unit 8 in radial direction.

  Note that the transmission dial unit 8 can be specifically manufactured by a manufacturing method (assembly method) including the following first to fifth steps. In the first step, the circuit board 84 on which the variable resistor 82 and the collar 83 are mounted and the conductor 840 is connected to the conductor connection region 841 is accommodated in the case 85 opened upward (see FIG. 25). In the second step, the uncured resin 845 extends from the upper opening of the case 85 to a height position where at least the connection portion of the conductor 840 to the conductor connection region 841 and the connection portion of the terminal 825 of the variable resistor 82 are buried. Injected into the case 85 (see FIG. 19). In the third step, the resin 845 is cured. In the fourth step, the dial 87 is attached to the rotating shaft 822 by fitting the rotating shaft 822 of the variable resistor 82 into the fitting hole 871 of the dial 87 (see FIGS. 18 and 26). In the fifth step, the partition wall 88 is attached to the collar 83 from the lateral direction by locking the pair of locking arms 882 to the locking recess 831 using elastic deformation (FIGS. 17, 18, and 21). reference).

  According to this manufacturing method, when the conductor 840 is connected to the connection hole 842 in the previous stage of the first step, a space for connection work (typically soldering) is provided in the vicinity of the conductor connection region 841. Space for placing the instrument) is required. Further, in the second step, when an injection operation in which the resin 845 is injected from the opening above the case 85 is performed, a space for placing an injection device for the resin 845 is required above the case 85. Become. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the dial 87 and the partition wall 88 are not attached to the main body portion 81 in the stage before the first step or the second step, and a sufficient space is provided above the conductor connection region 841. Therefore, necessary work can be easily performed.

  Further, in the fifth step, the partition wall 88 including the interposition portion 884 that prevents the contact between the dial 87 and the conducting wire 840 simply by elastically deforming the pair of locking arms 882 and locking the locking recesses 831 with each other, 81 can be attached. Further, in the fourth step, the rotary shaft 822 is fitted into the fitting hole 871 of the dial 87, and in the fifth step, the partition wall 88 is attached from the lateral direction using the elastic deformation of the pair of locking arms 882. Thus, the dial 87 can be connected to the rotary shaft 822 so that it can rotate integrally with the rotary shaft 822 and is prevented from coming off from the rotary shaft 822. That is, the dial 87 and the partition wall 88 can be assembled to the main body 81 without using a fixing tool such as a screw. Thereby, the work efficiency at the time of the assembly of the transmission dial unit 8 can be improved, and the component cost can be suppressed.
