Abstract

A hand-held machine tool device, in particular, for a screwdriver (12a-h), having a locking device (14a-h) for locking a power take-off unit (16a-h), and having a rotational bearing device (18a-h) of the power take-off unit (16a-h). It is provided that at least part of the locking device (14a-h) and the rotational bearing device (18a-h) be formed in one piece.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hand-held machine tool device, comprising:
a gear housing;
a drive motor;
a planetary gear unit including a planet carrier;
a power take-off unit including an output shaft;
a locking device for locking the power take-off unit, the locking device including at least one locking rolling element; and
a rotational bearing device configured to rotationally support the power take-off unit,
wherein at least part of the locking device and the rotational bearing device is formed in one piece,
wherein the locking device further includes a clamping ring which has a radially internal bearing surface and an outer circumferential surface which forms a bearing surface for direct and rotatably fixed support in the gear housing,
wherein the planet carrier of the planetary gear unit has at least one positioning element for positioning the at least one locking rolling element in its release position when the drive motor drives the planet carrier to transmit torque to the output shaft,
wherein the at least one locking rolling element is clamped between the power take-off unit and the clamping ring when the drive motor is switched off and torque is transmitted from the output shaft to the planet carrier,
wherein a radial gap between the radially internal bearing surface of the clamping ring and a radially external bearing surface of the power take-off unit is formed, and the at least one locking rolling element is disposed in the radial gap with an accurately fit bearing seat such that the at least one locking rolling element forms a rolling contact bearing element.

2. The hand-held machine tool device according to at least claim 1 , wherein the clamping device forms a radially external bearing surface.

3. The hand-held machine tool device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational bearing device has at least one rolling contact bearing element differing from a locking rolling element.

4. The hand-held machine tool device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational bearing device has at least one sliding bearing element.

5. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the planet carrier of the planetary gear unit has at least one driving mechanism for transmitting a torque to the power take-off unit.

6. The hand-held machine tool device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational bearing device has a sliding bearing sleeve directly coupled to a shaft of the power take-off unit.

7. The hand-held machine tool device according to at least claim 6 , wherein the sliding bearing sleeve has at least one receiving element for receiving at least one locking rolling element.

8. A hand-held machine tool having a hand-held machine tool device according to claim 1 .

9. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the power take-off unit further includes a disk-shape component which is rotationally fixed on the output shaft.

10. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the locking device and the rotational bearing device are situated in a common plane running perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rotational bearing device.

11. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein at least one component of the locking device and at least one component of the rotational bearing device are formed by the same component.

12. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein a bearing force of the power take-off unit is supported radially outwardly by a clamping ring of the locking device via the at least one locking rolling element.

13. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein a bearing force of the power take-off unit is supported radially outwardly by a clamping ring of the locking device via the at least one positioning element.

14. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one positioning element is embodied as an axial projection disposed on the planet carrier.

15. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein a radial gap between the radially internal bearing surface of the clamping ring and a radially external bearing surface of the power take-off unit is formed, and the at least one locking rolling element is disposed in the radial gap with an exact fit bearing seat such that the at least one locking rolling element forms a rolling contact bearing element.

16. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 9 , wherein the disk-shaped component forms a clamping device having a radially external bearing surface.

17. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one sliding bearing element is embodied as a clamping ring which forms a sliding bearing with the power take-off unit.

18. The hand-held machine tool according to claim 17 , wherein the clamping ring includes a radially internal bearing surface and the power take-off unit includes a radially external bearing surface, and a radial gap of less than 0.1 mm is formed between the radially internal bearing surface and the radially external bearing surface such that a sliding bearing is formed between the two bearing surfaces.

19. A hand-held machine tool device, comprising:
a gear housing;
a drive motor;
a planetary gear unit including a planet carrier;
a power take-off unit including an output shaft;
a locking device for locking the power take-off unit, the locking device including at least one locking rolling element; and
a rotational bearing device configured to rotationally support the power take-off unit,
wherein at least part of the locking device and the rotational bearing device is formed in one piece,
wherein the locking device further includes a clamping ring which has a radially internal bearing surface and an outer circumferential surface which forms a bearing surface for direct and rotatably fixed support in the gear housing,
wherein the planet carrier of the planetary gear unit has at least one positioning element for positioning the at least one locking rolling element in its release position when the drive motor drives the planet carrier to transmit torque to the output shaft, wherein the at least one locking rolling element is clamped between the power take-off unit and the clamping ring when the drive motor is switched off and torque is transmitted from the output shaft to the planet carrier,
wherein a bearing force of the power take-off unit is supported radially outwardly by the clamping ring of the locking device via the at least one positioning element such that a sliding bearing is formed.

20. A hand-held machine tool device, comprising:
a gear housing;
a drive motor;
a planetary gear unit including a planet carrier;
a power take-off unit including an output shaft;
