Abstract
A hammer drill equipped with a main body part; a drive motor; a motion conversion mechanism, and a vibration absorber which are housed in the main body part; and a handgrip which is provided as a continuation of the main body part at a position closer to the rear end side of the tool than the drive motor and used for gripping the tool. The vibration absorber is in a configuration where vibrations of the main body part are suppressed during a machining operation.
Claims12
A power tool which linearly drives a tool bit to perform a predetermined operation on a workpiece comprising:
- a tool body,
- a driving motor, a motion converting mechanism and a dynamic vibration reducer which are housed in the tool body and
- a handle held by a user, the handle connected to the tool body in a tool rear region rearward of the driving motor, wherein:
- the motion converting mechanism is disposed in a tool front region forward of the driving motor in an axial direction of the tool bit and converts rotation of the driving motor into linear motion and transmits it to the tool bit, the dynamic vibration reducer includes a dynamic vibration reducer body disposed in an intermediate region between the motion converting mechanism and the handle, the dynamic vibration reduce having a housing space, a weight disposed within the housing space of the dynamic vibration reducer body in such a manner as to be linearly movable in the axial direction of the tool bit, and a coil spring that extends between at least one of front and rear surfaces of the weight and the dynamic vibration reducer body in the axial direction of the tool bit to elastically support the weight in the axial direction, wherein the dynamic vibration reducer reduces vibration of the tool body during operation by linear movement of the weight elastically supported by the coil spring in the axial direction of the tool bit.
