Abstract
The dust removal device comprises a fan (18), a dust collection receptacle (24), and a suction passage (28). The dust collection receptacle (24) equipped with a dust filter (26) is located in the path of air flow (34, 36) between the suction passage (28) and the fan (18). The dust is therefore filtered out of the air stream before it reaches the fan, which prevents dust-induced wear. It is also possible to use the same fan for engine cooling as well as dust removal.
Claims3
A hand power tool with a dust removal device, comprising a motor, a fan driven by said motor and supplying cooling air to said motor, a dust collection receptacle;
- a suction passage formed so that a path of air flow exists between said fan, said suction passage and said dust collection receptacle such that air is drawn through said suction passage by said fan and the dust particles in a suctioned air stream are conveyed into said dust collection receptacle, said dust collection receptacle being provided with a dust filter located in the path of air flow between said suction passage and said fan;
- and an air passage for said fan supplying air to said fan when said fan produces an increased vacuum caused by said dust filter becoming clogged.
