Abstract

The invention provides a handheld power tool, which comprises a handle assembly, a power mechanism connected with the handle assembly, and a working mechanism connected with the power mechanism. The power mechanism comprises a main housing, an inner housing, and a motor disposed in the inner housing. The main housing comprises a first air inlet at a side wall thereof, the inner housing comprises an opening. An airflow channel is located between the main housing and the inner housing, and in communication with the first air inlet, the opening and an inside of the inner housing. The handheld power tool of the present invention not only has good heat dissipation effect, but also has waterproof and dustproof effects, and can work in rainy days and humid areas without affecting the performance of the whole machine.

First claim

What is claimed is:

a handle assembly;
a power mechanism connected with the handle assembly; and
a working mechanism connected to the power mechanism;
wherein the power mechanism comprises a main housing, an inner housing and a motor disposed in the inner housing, the main housing comprises a first air inlet at a side wall thereof, the inner housing comprises an opening, and wherein an airflow channel is located between the main housing and the inner housing, and in communication with the first air inlet, the opening and an inside of the inner housing;
wherein the main housing comprises a top cover located above the motor, and wherein the first air inlet is disposed at the top of the top cover;
wherein the inner housing is disposed below the top cover, wherein the top cover comprises an extension wall extending downward from the inner side of the top cover, and wherein the extension wall is arranged between the first air inlet and the inner housing.

2. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the opening is disposed at the top or the bottom of the inner housing.

3. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein a first fan is disposed on the top of the motor, wherein the first fan is coaxially sleeved on an output shaft of the motor, and wherein the motor is an external rotor motor and the first fan is an axial fan.

4. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the main housing comprises a bracket disposed below the top cover, wherein a second air inlet is arranged at the bottom of the bracket, and wherein the second air inlet communicates with the first air inlet in an extending direction of an output shaft of the motor.

5. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the power mechanism comprises a circuit board electrically connected to the motor, and wherein the circuit board is arranged below the top cover and on the same side of the main housing as the first air inlet.

6. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the handheld power tool is a hedge trimmer or a chainsaw.

7. A handheld power tool comprising:
a handle assembly;
a power mechanism connected with the handle assembly; and
a working mechanism connected to the power mechanism;
wherein the power mechanism comprises a main housing, an inner housing and a motor disposed in the inner housing, the main housing comprises a first air inlet at a side wall thereof, the inner housing comprises an opening, and wherein an airflow channel is located between the main housing and the inner housing, and in communication with the first air inlet, the opening and an inside of the inner housing;
wherein the main housing comprises a top cover located above the motor, and wherein the first air inlet is disposed at the top of the top cover;
wherein the main housing comprises a bracket disposed below the top cover, wherein a second air inlet is arranged at the bottom of the bracket, and wherein the second air inlet communicates with the first air inlet in an extending direction of an output shaft of the motor, wherein the power mechanism comprises a power transmission assembly installed below the bracket, wherein the power transmission assembly comprises a bottom cover installed at the bottom of the bracket and a second fan received in the bottom cover, wherein the bottom cover comprises a blower chamber full surrounding the second fan, and wherein a heat dissipation channel is arranged at the bottom of the blower chamber and opens into the exterior of the main housing.

8. The handheld power tool according to claim 7 , wherein the second fan is connected to the output shaft of the motor, wherein a ventilation hole is arranged at the bottom of the bracket for communicating the inner housing with the blower chamber.

9. The handheld power tool according to claim 8 , wherein at least two heat dissipation fins are arranged on the side of the bottom cover close to the blade assembly, wherein a heat dissipation passage is arranged between two adjacent heat dissipation fins, wherein the blower chamber is fully surrounded by the at least two heat dissipation fins, and wherein one end of the heat dissipation passage communicates with the blower chamber and the other end of the heat dissipation passage communicates with the exterior of the main housing.

10. The handheld power tool according to claim 7 , wherein the heat dissipation channel is arranged at an end of the bottom cover opposite to the blade assembly, and wherein a third air inlet is arranged at the bottom of the blower chamber.

11. The handheld power tool according to claim 10 , wherein the heat dissipation channel extends in the width direction of the bottom cover, and wherein the third air inlet extends in the length direction of the bottom cover.
