Abstract

A hand-power tool, in particular a drill and/or chiseling hammer, includes a transmission, a machine housing, and an inner housing arranged within the machine housing. The inner housing is provided for at least partially receiving at least one transmission element of the transmission. The at least one transmission element is supported jointly by the inner housing and by the machine housing.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A portable power tool, comprising:
a transmission having at least one transmission element,
a machine housing,
an inner housing arranged inside the machine housing, said inner housing being configured to at least partially receive the at least one transmission element of the transmission, and
at least one supporting element configured to axially support the inner housing, and to penetrate at least partially through the inner housing in a radial direction and radially bear against an inner surface of the machine housing,
wherein the at least one transmission element is mounted in a manner distributed between the inner housing and the machine housing, and
wherein the at least one transmission element is supported radially on the machine housing in at least two bearing planes in a manner uncoupled from the inner housing.

2. The portable power tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner housing is configured to at least axially support the at least one transmission element.

3. The portable power tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the machine housing is configured to at least radially support the at least one transmission element in a manner uncoupled from the inner housing.

4. The portable power tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting element is configured in one piece with another supporting element which is configured to axially support the inner housing.

5. The portable power tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting element has a free end that is directed radially outward.

6. The portable power tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner housing has at least one radial cutout which is configured to at least partially receive the supporting element.

7. The portable power tool as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an intermediate flange which has at least one supporting element which is configured to axially support at least the inner housing.

8. The portable power tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner housing is formed from at least two housing half-shells connected together along a connecting plane that extends through a rotational axis of the transmission element.

9. A portable power tool, comprising:
a machine housing;
a supporting element that is positioned within the machine housing and that is radially supported by the machine housing in an uncoupled fashion;
an inner housing that is axially supported by the supporting element; and
a transmission that includes at least one transmission element;
the at least one transmission element being axially supported by the inner housing such that the at least one transmission element is axially uncoupled from the machine housing; and
the at least one transmission element being radially supported by the machine housing such that the at least one transmission element is radially uncoupled from the inner housing.

10. The portable power tool according to claim 9 , the supporting element including at least one free end that extends radially outward toward the machine housing, such that the machine housing is configured to radially bear against the at least one free end to radially support the supporting element.

11. The portable power tool according to claim 10 , wherein:
the inner housing is positioned radially outwards and around the supporting element; and
the inner housing defines at least one radial cutout configured such that the free end of the supporting element penetrates through the inner housing and toward the machine housing.

12. The portable power tool according to claim 10 , wherein the portion of the supporting element extending through the at least one radial cutout of the supporting element is configured to axially bear against the inner housing to axially support the inner housing.

13. The portable power tool according to claim 12 , further comprising at least one damping element positioned between the at least one free end of the supporting element and the machine housing, the damping element being configured to damp vibrations of the at least one transmission element from the machine housing.

14. The portable power tool according to claim 9 , wherein:
the at least one transmission element defines a bearing element; and
the inner housing defines at least one groove that interacts with the bearing element to axially support the at least one transmission element and to form a ball bearing between the inner housing and the at least one transmission element.

15. The portable power tool according to claim 14 , wherein:
the machine housing defines at least one radial extension that extends radially inward toward the at least one transmission element; and
the at least one groove includes at least one cutout configured such that the at least one radial extension of the machine housing extends through the at least one cutout and bears against an outer surface of the ball bearing to radially support the at least one transmission element.

16. The portable power tool according to claim 14 , further comprising at least one damping element positioned between the at least one radial extension of the machine housing and the outer surface of the ball bearing, the damping element being configured to damp vibrations of the at least one transmission element from the machine housing.

17. The portable power tool according to claim 9 , wherein:
the at least one transmission element defines a rotational axis;
the machine housing is formed from two half-shell pieces that are joined in a plane substantially normal to the rotational axis; and
the inner housing is formed from two half-shell pieces that are joined in a further plane oriented such that the rotation axis lies on the further plane.

18. The portable power tool according to claim 9 , wherein the supporting element is integral with an intermediate flange positioned on the transmission so as to be partially inside of the inner housing.
