Abstract

The invention relates to a striking hand-held machine tool having a tool holder for holding a striking tool on a working shaft, an electric motor, and a striking mechanism. In the striking direction, the striking mechanism has an exciter piston, a pneumatic chamber, a striker, an intermediate chamber and a rivet snap following one another. A closed channel connects a first channel opening in the pneumatic chamber and a second channel opening in the intermediate chamber. A non-return valve, which shuts off during an air flow from the first channel opening to the second channel opening and opens during an air flow from the second channel opening to the first channel opening, is arranged in the channel. Arranged on the second channel opening is a shut-off valve, which is forced into a position closing the second channel opening when the rivet snap is in the working position.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hand-held percussion power tool, comprising
a tool holder for holding a percussion tool on a working axis;
an electric motor;
a percussion mechanism, comprising an exciter piston, a pneumatic chamber comprising a first channel opening, a percussion piston, an intermediate chamber comprising a second channel opening, and a rivet header sequentially arranged in a percussion direction;
a closed channel, which connects the first channel opening in the pneumatic chamber and the second channel opening in the intermediate chamber;
a check valve arranged in the closed channel, which blocks air flowing from the first channel opening to the second channel opening and opens to allow air to flow from the second channel opening to the first channel opening; and, a shut-off valve, which is arranged at the second channel opening and is forced into a position in which the shut-off valve seals the second channel opening when the rivet header is in a working position.

2. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein a spool valve, which is formed by a radial opening in the pneumatic chamber and the percussion piston, the spool valve being closed with respect to the pneumatic chamber by the percussion piston that is resting against the rivet header that is in the working position, and the spool valve being opened with respect to the pneumatic chamber by the percussion piston, which is resting against the rivet header that is in front of the working position in the percussion direction.

3. The hand-held power tool according to claim 2 , wherein the shut-off valve comprises a resilient shut-off body, which, in a relaxed form, is at a spacing from a valve seat of the shut-off valve and is deformed by the rivet header that is in the working position so as to rest against the valve seat in a resilient tensioned manner.

4. The hand-held power tool according to claim 2 , wherein the first channel opening is arranged on a percussion piston-side reversal point of the exciter piston.

5. The hand-held power tool according to claim 2 , wherein the pneumatic chamber comprises a throttle opening for exchanging air between the pneumatic chamber and an area around the hand-held power tool.

6. The hand-held power tool according to claim 2 , wherein the check valve is arranged at the first channel opening such that the check valve cannot move.

7. The hand-held power tool according to claim 2 , wherein the closed channel is closed between the first channel opening and the second channel opening.

8. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the shut-off valve comprises a resilient shut-off body, which, in a relaxed form, is at a spacing from a valve seat of the shut-off valve and is deformed by the rivet header that is in the working position so as to rest against the valve seat in a resilient tensioned manner.

9. The hand-held power tool according to claim 8 , wherein the first channel opening is arranged on a percussion piston-side reversal point of the exciter piston.

10. The hand-held power tool according to claim 8 , wherein the pneumatic chamber comprises a throttle opening for exchanging air between the pneumatic chamber and an area around the hand-held power tool.

11. The hand-held power tool according to claim 8 , wherein the check valve is arranged at the first channel opening such that the check valve cannot move.

12. The hand-held power tool according to claim 8 , wherein the closed channel is closed between the first channel opening and the second channel opening.

13. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first channel opening is arranged on a percussion piston-side reversal point of the exciter piston.

14. The hand-held power tool according to claim 13 , wherein the pneumatic chamber comprises a throttle opening for exchanging air between the pneumatic chamber and an area around the hand-held power tool.

15. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the pneumatic chamber comprises a throttle opening for exchanging air between the pneumatic chamber and an area around the hand-held power tool.

16. The hand-held power tool according to claim 15 , wherein the throttle opening is arranged on a percussion piston-side reversal point of the exciter piston.

17. The hand-held power tool according to claim 16 , wherein a ratio of a cross-sectional area of the throttle opening to a cross-sectional area of the channel opening is less than one to twelve.

18. The hand-held power tool according to claim 15 , wherein a ratio of a cross-sectional area of the throttle opening to a cross-sectional area of the channel opening is less than one to twelve.

19. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the check valve is arranged at the first channel opening such that the check valve cannot move.

20. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the closed channel is closed between the first channel opening and the second channel opening.
