Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system includes first and second power tools that each have a percussion mechanism, a motor, and a transmission. The transmission includes a striking mechanism and is configured to transfer a driving motion of the motor to an insert tool held in a tool holder. The transmission has a guide tube that is identical in some regions along a working axis and accommodates a striker. The guide tube is rotatably coupled to the motor by a first transmission unit. The striker is driven to linearly oscillate by a piston of a second transmission unit. A ratio between a diameter of the tool holder and a diameter of the guide tube is 1.8 times greater in the first power tool than in the second power tool. A striking energy of the second power tool is mechanically reduced compared to a striking energy of the first power tool.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A system, comprising: a first hand-held power tool and a second hand-held power tool, the first and second hand-held power tools each having a percussion mechanism, a motor, and a transmission that includes the percussion mechanism and that is configured to transmit a driving motion of the motor to an insert tool accommodated in a tool receiver, wherein the respective transmissions each have a guide tube that is identical in regions along a working axis and in which a striker is carried in an axially movable manner, herein the guide tube rotatably coupled to the motor via a first transmission unit, the striker configured to be driven in a linearly oscillating manner via a piston of a second transmission unit, wherein a ratio between a diameter of the tool receiver and a diameter of the guide tube of the first hand-held power tool is 1.8 times greater than a ratio between a diameter of the tool receiver and a diameter of the guide tube of the second hand-held power tool, and wherein a single-strike energy of the second hand-held power tool is mechanically reduced in comparison with a single-strike energy of the first hand-held power tool. 2 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first crank stroke of the second transmission unit of the second hand-held power tool is reduced in comparison with a second crank stroke of the second transmission unit of the first hand-held power tool. 3 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the respective pistons of the first and second hand-held power tools are driven via respective eccentric units, and wherein an eccentricity of the eccentric unit of the second hand-held power tool is less than an eccentricity of the eccentric unit of the first hand-held power tool. 4 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first air-spring length of the percussion mechanism of the first hand-held power tool differs from a second air-spring length of the percussion mechanism of the second hand-held power tool. 5 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a bearing distance of the percussion mechanism of the first hand-held power tool is equal to a bearing distance of the percussion mechanism of the second hand-held power tool. 6 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a strike point of the first hand-held power tool is the same as a strike point of the second hand-held power tool. 7 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second hand-held power tools each have a B percussion damping system that are identical to each other. 8 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second hand-held power tools each have a transmission housing, and wherein mechanical components within each transmission housing are at least 80% identical. 9 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the tool receiver of the second hand-held power tool is under 18 mm, and wherein the ratio between a diameter of the guide tube and the diameter of the tool receiver of the second hand-held power tool lies in a range of between 2.8 and 3.4. 10 . A hand-held power tool, having comprising: a percussion mechanism; a motor; and a transmission that includes the percussion mechanism and that is configured to transmit a driving motion of the motor to an insert tool accommodated in a tool receiver, wherein the transmission has a guide tube in which a striker is carried in an axially movable manner, the guide tube is rotatably coupled to the motor via a first transmission unit, the striker configured to be driven in a linearly oscillating manner via a piston of a second transmission unit, and wherein a ratio between a diameter of the guide tube and a diameter of the tool receiver lies in a range of between 2.8 and 3.4. 11 . The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the diameter of the tool receiver is under 18 mm. 12 . The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first crank stroke is reduced by 20% in comparison with the second crank stroke. 13 . The system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first air-spring length is greater than the second air-spring length. 14 . The system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the diameter of the tool receiver of the second hand-held power tool is 10 mm, and wherein the ratio between the diameter of the guide tube and the diameter of the tool receiver of the second hand-held power tool lies in a range of between 2.9 and 3.1. 15 . The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the ratio between the diameter of the guide tube and the diameter of the tool receiver lies in a range of between 2.9 and 3.1. 16 . The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the diameter of the tool receiver is 10 mm.
