Abstract

In a handheld machine tool having a tool housing, in which a drive motor is situated for driving a drive element equipped with at least one clamping surface, to which a spindle-locking device equipped with a blocking element and at least one spindle cylinder is assigned, the at least one spindle cylinder being able to be clamped in a spindle-lock operation of the spindle-locking device between the at least one clamping surface and the blocking element in order to prevent the drive element from rotating relative to the tool housing, the spindle-locking device has an impingement element, which is developed to impinge on the at least one spindle cylinder with a specified force in the direction of the at least one clamping surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A handheld machine tool, comprising:
a drive motor;
a spindle-locking device having a blocking element embodied as an annular clamping ring and at least one spindle cylinder; and
a tool housing, in which the drive motor is situated for driving a drive element having at least one clamping surface, to which the spindle-locking device is assigned, wherein:
the at least one spindle cylinder is configured to be clamped in a spindle-lock operation of the spindle-locking device between the at least one clamping surface of the drive element and the blocking element in order to prevent the drive element from rotating relative to the tool housing, wherein the at least one spindle cylinder is configured to directly contact the at least one clamping surface of the drive element, and
the spindle-locking device includes an impingement element that impinges on the at least one spindle cylinder with a specified force in a direction of the at least one clamping surface of the drive element,
wherein the impingement element includes a viscoelastic ring for impinging on the at least one spindle cylinder,
wherein a transmission housing defines a groove, and the viscoelastic ring is situated at least in sections directly in the groove of the transmission housing,
wherein the viscoelastic ring is arranged adjacent to the clamping ring in a longitudinal axis of the drive element such that the viscoelastic ring is arranged at a first axial position of the longitudinal axis and the clamping ring is arranged at a second axial position of the longitudinal axis different than the first axial position.

2. The handheld machine as recited in claim 1 , wherein the groove is an annular groove.

3. The handheld machine tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein the viscoelastic ring has a circular cross section having a cross-sectional diameter of maximally 4mm.

4. The handheld machine tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein a center plane formed by the viscoelastic ring and a center plane of the at least one spindle cylinder have an axial distance from each other that is smaller than or equal to a sum of half an axial length of the at least one spindle cylinder and a cross-sectional diameter of the viscoelastic ring.

5. The handheld machine tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein the blocking element is developed annularly in the manner of a clamping ring.

6. The handheld machine tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein an axial length of the blocking element is shorter than an axial length of the at least one spindle cylinder.

7. The handheld machine tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein the drive element is a drive spindle drivable by the drive motor and the at least one clamping surface of the drive element is a clamping surface of the drive spindle.

8. The handheld machine tool as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
a planet carrier having a rotary slaving contour configured to drive the drive spindle and having a carrier element configured to carry along the at least one spindle cylinder.

9. The handheld machine tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein the drive element is a drive spindle drivable by the drive motor.
