Abstract

A power tool includes a body with a main casing and a handle connected to the main casing. The main casing has a head and a tail arranged along a second direction in sequence and located along an axis. A side of the tail facing the second direction has an end wall and a mounting wall closer to a handle than the end wall. A straight line that passes through the most protruding part of the handle and a surface of the end wall and intersects the axis is defined as a collision boundary line. The mounting wall is located on a side of the collision boundary line facing a first direction. The first direction is opposite to the second direction. A setting module is disposed in the tail. A panel of the setting module is exposed outward on the mounting wall.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A power tool, comprising a body, a motor, a reducing gear set, an output shaft, a control circuit, and a setting module;
wherein the body comprises a main casing and a handle connected to a side of a periphery of the main casing; the main casing has a head and a tail that are located along an axis in sequence; two opposite directions along the axis are respectively defined as a first direction and a second direction; the head is located on a side of the tail facing the first direction; another side of the tail facing the second direction has an end wall and a mounting wall; the mounting wall is closer to the handle than the end wall; wherein the handle comprises a handle casing and a battery module; an end of the handle casing has an end portion adapted to connect to the main casing; another end of the handle casing away from the end portion has an engaging portion; the battery module is detachably engaged with the engaging portion; a straight line that passes through the most protruding part of the handle along the second direction and a surface of the end wall and intersects the axis is defined as a collision boundary line; the mounting wall is located on a side of the collision boundary line facing the first direction; wherein the motor, the reducing gear set, and the output shaft are disposed in the main casing with the axis as a rotation center and are connected in sequence along the first direction; the output shaft has a driving head protruding out of the head; the control circuit is disposed in the body and is respectively and electrically connected to the motor and the battery module; the control circuit is adapted to control an operation of the motor; the setting module is disposed in the tail and is electrically connected to the control circuit; the setting module has a panel exposed outward on the mounting wall; wherein the mounting wall has a surface; the surface of the mounting wall has an opening; the panel is exposed outward on the mounting wall through the opening; wherein the opening has a top edge and a bottom edge; the top edge is closer to the axis than the bottom edge and the bottom edge is farther from the axis than the top edge; the top edge and the bottom edge are parallel; a tilted line, which is virtual, intersects the axis and passes through a middle point of the top edge and a middle point of the bottom edge; a tilted angle provided between the tilted line and the axis is less than 90 degrees.

2 . The power tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the most protruding part of the handle along the second direction is the battery module.

3 . The power tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tilted angle ranges between 45 degrees and 90 degrees.

4 . The power tool as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the tilted angle ranges between 65 degrees and 75 degrees.

5 . The power tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the panel is disposed on an inside of the opening.

6 . The power tool as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the panel of the setting module has a button; the button is adapted to trigger the control circuit to select different operational modes to control an operation of the power tool.

7 . The power tool as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the panel of the setting module has a setting region; the setting region has at least one LED light; the at least one LED light is adapted to show a current operational mode of the power tool when the button triggers the control circuit to select the different operational modes to control the operation of the power tool.
