Abstract
In a handheld power tool having a planetary gear set which is at least switchable between a first and a second gear and which is assigned a switching annulus gear which is at least shiftable between a first and a second switching position and which has the first switching position in the first gear and the second switching position in the second gear, the switching annulus gear is assigned a synchronization unit which is designed to enable a synchronization of the switching annulus gear with a planet carrier or with a blocking element of the planetary gear set when the switching annulus gear is shifted between the first and the second switching position to switch over the planetary gear set.
Claims22
A handheld power tool, comprising:
- a planetary gear set which is switchable between at least a first and a second gear of the planetary gear set;
- a switching annulus gear assigned to the planetary gear set and shiftable between at least a first and a second switching position, wherein the first switching position is assigned to the first gear and the second switching position is assigned to the second gear,
- wherein the switching annulus gear is assigned a synchronization unit which is configured to synchronize the switching annulus gear with one of a planet carrier or a blocking element of the planetary gear set when the switching annulus gear is shifted between the first and the second switching position,
- wherein the switching annulus gear is rotatably fixedly situated in an assigned gear housing in the first gear of the planetary gear set and rotatably mounted in the gear housing in the second gear of the planetary gear set, the switching annulus gear having an internal toothing and the planet carrier having an external toothing, and the internal toothing being operatively meshed with the external toothing in the second gear of the planetary gear set,
- wherein the internal toothing has a plurality of teeth pointing radially inward, a predefined number of teeth being shortened in a longitudinal direction,
- wherein on an axial end area of the switching annulus gear, which faces the planet carrier, a dent assigned to the synchronization unit is formed at each tooth of the predefined number of teeth of the internal toothing to shorten each tooth of the predefined number of teeth.
