Abstract

A reciprocating tool includes a motor, a reciprocating member, and a crank mechanism. The motor is disposed in a housing. The reciprocating member projects from the housing. The crank mechanism converts rotation of a rotation shaft of the motor into reciprocation of the reciprocating member. The crank mechanism rotates around an axis in a lateral direction by rotation transmission from the rotation shaft, and the crank mechanism includes a crank member having an eccentric pin, a connecting rod coupling the eccentric pin to the reciprocating member, and a balancer coupled to the eccentric pin, and the balancer is supported by the eccentric pin alone in the housing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A power tool, comprising:
a stator that includes a stator core, an insulator which engages the stator core, and a coil wound around the insulator;
a rotor that is rotatable relative to the stator and includes a rotation shaft, a rotor core around the rotation shaft, and a permanent magnet fixed to the rotor core;
an integrally molded main body cylinder outside the stator and having a front portion that is open;
a bearing holder that is integral with a rear portion of the main body cylinder;
a first anchor piece that (i) is integral with an upper portion of the main body cylinder and (ii) has a first through hole that extends in a right/left direction;
a second anchor piece that (i) is integral with a lower portion of the main body cylinder and (ii) has a second through hole that extends in the right/left direction;
a front housing that houses a gear configured to be driven by the rotor;
a rear housing that has a first half housing on a right side of the main body cylinder and a second half housing on a left side of the main body cylinder;
a first screw that extends in the right/left direction and assembles the first half housing and the second half housing via the first through hole; and
a second screw that extends in the right/left direction and assembles the first half housing and the second half housing via the second through hole.

2. The power tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a control circuit board from which lead wires are extracted;
wherein the control circuit board is held by ribs of the first half housing and the second half housing.

3. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the main body cylinder is fixed to the front housing by four screws.

4. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the main body cylinder includes outer ribs on an outer surface and the outer ribs engage inner ribs of the first half housing and the second half housing to restrict movement of the main body cylinder.

5. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein
a lower portion of the first half housing and the second half housing includes a battery mounting portion, and
the battery mounting portion holds a terminal block that is electrically connected to a mounted battery pack.

6. A power tool, comprising:
a stator that includes a stator core, an insulator which engages the stator core, and a coil wound around the insulator;
a rotor that is rotatable relative to the stator and includes a rotation shaft, a rotor core around the rotation shaft, and a permanent magnet fixed to the rotor core;
an integrally molded main body cylinder outside the stator and having a front portion that is open;
a bearing holder that is integral with a rear portion of the main body cylinder;
a right handle front portion on a right side of the main body cylinder;
a right handle upper portion coupled to the right handle front portion;
a right handle lower portion that is (i) coupled to the right handle front portion and (ii) below the right handle upper portion;
a right handle rear portion coupled to the right handle upper portion and the right handle lower portion;
a left handle front portion on a left side of the main body cylinder;
a left handle upper portion coupled to the left handle front portion;
a left handle lower portion that is (i) coupled to the left handle front portion and (ii) below the left handle upper portion;
a left handle rear portion coupled to the left handle upper portion and the left handle lower portion;
a control circuit board inside the right handle lower portion and the left handle lower portion;
a front housing that houses a gear configured to be driven by the rotor; and
four screws that fix the main body cylinder to the front housing.

7. The power tool according to claim 6 , further comprising:
a sensor circuit board (i) configured to detect rotation of the rotor and (ii) at a rear of the stator core;
a first anchor piece (i) having a first through hole that extends in a right/left direction and (ii) that is integral with an upper portion of the main body cylinder; and
a second anchor piece (i) having a second through hole that extends in the right/left direction and (ii) that is integral with a lower portion of the main body cylinder, wherein
the first through hole is above the sensor circuit board, and
the second through hole is below the sensor circuit board.

8. The power tool according to claim 6 , wherein
the insulator includes a front insulator on a front side of the stator core and a rear insulator on a rear side of the stator core, and
the rear insulator holds a fusing terminal connected to the coil.

9. The power tool according to claim 6 , wherein
the stator is fixed to the main body cylinder by a plurality of screws which extend in a front/rear direction.

10. The power tool according to claim 6 , wherein
an otter surface of the main body cylinder includes an outer rib, and
the outer rib is locked to the right handle front portion and the left handle front portion.

11. The power tool according to claim 6 , wherein
the main body cylinder includes a plurality of protrusions extending in a front/rear direction inside the main body cylinder, and
the plurality of protrusions contact an outer periphery of the stator.
