Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A handheld power tool including a housing including a barrel and a head housing; a drive mechanism including an electric motor and a drive shaft, where the electric motor outputs power through the drive shaft; a transmission mechanism including a gear assembly; and an output mechanism including an output shaft for outputting power to the outside and at least partially disposed in the head housing; where the transmission mechanism drivingly connects the drive mechanism to the output mechanism. The barrel is formed with a first accommodation cavity and a second accommodation cavity, the electric motor is at least partially mounted in the first accommodation cavity, and the gear assembly is at least partially mounted in the second accommodation cavity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A handheld power tool, comprising: a housing comprising a barrel and a head housing; a drive mechanism comprising an electric motor and a drive shaft, wherein the electric motor outputs power through the drive shaft; a transmission mechanism comprising a gear assembly; and an output mechanism comprising an output shaft for outputting power and at least partially disposed in the head housing, wherein the transmission mechanism drivingly connects the drive mechanism to the output mechanism, the barrel is formed with a first accommodation cavity and a second accommodation cavity, the electric motor is at least partially mounted in the first accommodation cavity, and the gear assembly is at least partially mounted in the second accommodation cavity, and wherein the gear assembly comprises an inner ring gear comprising a first meshing portion, a second meshing portion is formed in the barrel, and, when the gear assembly is mounted to the barrel, the first meshing portion meshes with the second meshing portion. 2. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein a barrier is disposed in the barrel, the barrier and the barrel are integrally formed, and the first accommodation cavity and the second accommodation cavity exist on two sides of the barrier, separately. 3. The handheld power tool according to claim 2 , wherein a plane where the barrier is located is perpendicular to the drive shaft, and a through hole is formed at a center of the barrier for the drive shaft to penetrate through. 4. The handheld power tool according to claim 3 , wherein a first bearing mount is formed on a side of the barrier, and a front bearing of the electric motor is mounted to the first bearing mount. 5. The handheld power tool according to claim 4 , wherein a second bearing mount is formed on another side of the barrier, and a bearing of the gear assembly is mounted to the second bearing mount. 6. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the inner ring gear and the barrel are integrally formed or mounted in a tight-fit manner. 7. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the barrel is formed with multiple mounting grooves for installing the inner ring gear. 8. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the electric motor comprises a stator and a rotor and is an inrunner. 9. The handheld power tool according to claim 8 , wherein a side portion of the stator protrudes and extends to form a first end portion; and the barrel is formed with a rotation stopper opposite to the first end portion. 10. The handheld power tool according to claim 9 , wherein the rotation stopper is formed with a space, and the first end portion at least partially extends into the space. 11. The handheld power tool according to claim 10 , wherein the rotation stopper mates with the first end portion so that the stator and the barrel are incapable of being relatively displaced in a plane perpendicular to the output shaft. 12. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the barrel is provided with a plurality of air vents for circulation of an airflow. 13. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission mechanism is installed on the barrel. 14. A handheld power tool, comprising: a tool head comprising a barrel and a head housing; a grip to which the tool head is fixedly connected; and an output mechanism comprising an output shaft for outputting power and at least partially disposed in the head housing, wherein the barrel and the head housing are in a threaded connection, and the head housing is formed with a locking structure for screwing the barrel and the head housing, and wherein a gear assembly comprises an inner ring gear comprising a first meshing portion, a second meshing portion is formed in the barrel, and, when the gear assembly is mounted to the barrel, the first meshing portion meshes with the second meshing portion. 15. The handheld power tool according to claim 14 , wherein the barrel is formed with an internal thread, the head housing is formed with an external thread, and the head housing partially extends into the barrel. 16. The handheld power tool according to claim 14 , wherein the threaded connection is reinforced with a threadlocker.
