Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Hand-held power tool having a tool fitting for holding a striking and rotating tool on a working axis, an electric motor, an impact mechanism, which has a striker moved periodically along the working axis, and having a rotary drive, which drives a spindle bearing the tool fitting in a rotating manner about the working axis, the rotary drive having a step-down eccentric gear mechanism, connected to the electric motor, and the spindle being coupled to the eccentric gear mechanism.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hand-held power tool comprising: a tool fitting for holding a striking and rotating tool on a working axis; an electric motor; an impact mechanism having a striker moved periodically along the working axis; and a rotary drive driving a spindle bearing the tool fitting in a rotating manner about the working axis, the rotary drive having a step-down eccentric gear mechanism connected to the electric motor, the spindle being coupled to the eccentric gear mechanism; wherein the eccentric gear mechanism has an internally toothed ring gear and an externally toothed internal gear, the ring gear being arranged fixed with respect to a machine housing of the electric motor, and the internal gear being driven via a rotatably mounted eccentric. 2. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the eccentric gear mechanism has a torsionally rigid coupling designed to compensate for a radial offset of the internal gear caused by the eccentric. 3. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 2 wherein the coupling is formed as a parallel crank coupling or as a cross slide coupling. 4. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the impact mechanism has a transmission for converting a rotary movement of the electric motor into a periodic translational movement parallel to the working axis. 5. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 4 wherein the transmission is integrated with the eccentric gear mechanism. 6. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 4 wherein the transmission has an impact-mechanism eccentric wheel or a swash plate arranged coaxially to the eccentric gear mechanism or formed in one piece with an eccentric of the eccentric gear mechanism. 7. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 4 wherein the impact mechanism has an exciter connected to the transmission, and a pneumatic chamber, the striker being coupled to the exciter via the pneumatic chamber. 8. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 4 wherein the transmission includes an impact-mechanism eccentric wheel rotationally coupled to a crankshaft of the electric motor via a further shaft gearwheel. 9. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the rotary drive is synchronized with the impact mechanism. 10. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein eccentric gear mechanism has a reduction of at least 1:40. 11. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein eccentric gear mechanism has a reduction of at least 1:50. 12. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the eccentric gear mechanism has an eccentric shaft bearing an eccentric, the eccentric shaft formed or arranged coaxially to a crankshaft of the electric motor. 13. A hammer drill comprising the hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 . 14. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the rotary drive having the step-down eccentric gear mechanism is connected to the electric motor via a crankshaft. 15. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 14 wherein the crankshaft is coupled to an eccentric shaft via a shaft gearwheel. 16. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 15 wherein the rotatably mounted eccentric is connected to the crankshaft for conjoint rotation. 17. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 16 wherein the rotatably mounted eccentric and the crankshaft are formed integrally with one another. 18. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein a transmission ratio of 1:6 between the crankshaft and the eccentric shaft is achieved via the shaft gearwheel. 19. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the eccentric gear mechanism has a torsionally rigid coupling designed to compensate for a radial offset of the internal gear caused by the rotatably mounted eccentric, the torsionally rigid coupling being coupled to the internal gear and to an output body coupled to the spindle. 20. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 19 wherein the output body is coupled via a bevel gearing to the spindle. 21. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 20 wherein a transmission ratio of 1:4 between the output body and the spindle is realized via the bevel gearing.
