Abstract
An electric power tool for processing a substrate is disclosed. The electric power tool includes a tool which is designed to be rotatable around a rotational axis, a motor assembly having at least one motor which rotates the tool around the rotational axis, a motor housing having at least one receiving area for the at least one motor, a cooling element for cooling the at least one motor, and an electronic assembly having at least one electronic component to be cooled. The cooling of the at least one electronic component to be cooled is carried out via the motor housing.
Claims5
An electric wall saw, comprising:
- a saw head having a saw blade, wherein the saw blade is arranged at a swivelable saw arm and is rotatable around a rotational axis, wherein the saw head is displaceable via a guide carriage in a feed direction;
- a motor assembly having a first motor, wherein the saw blade is rotatable by the first motor, a second motor, wherein the saw arm is swivelable around a swivel axis by the second motor, and a third motor, wherein the guide carriage is displaceable along the feed direction by the third motor;
- a motor housing with a first receiving area, wherein the first motor is disposed within the first receiving area, and a second receiving area, wherein the second motor is disposed within the second receiving area, and a third receiving area, wherein the third motor is disposed within the third receiving area;
- a cooling channel through which a cooling medium flows, wherein the first motor is coolable by the cooling channel which surrounds the first motor;
- and
- an electronic assembly with an electronic components including a first frequency converter for the first motor, a second frequency converter for the second motor, a third frequency converter for the third motor and a braking resistor for dissipating brake energy when decelerating the saw blade;
- wherein cooling of the electronic components of the electronic assembly is carried out exclusively via the motor housing and the motor housing includes a first cooling surface, wherein the first frequency converter is arranged on the first cooling surface, a second cooling surface, wherein the second frequency converter is arranged on the second cooling surface, a third cooling surface, wherein the third frequency converter is arranged on the third cooling surface, and a cooling borehole, wherein the braking resistor is arranged in the cooling borehole.
