Abstract

A battery-operated hand power tool, in particular an eccentric sander, includes at least one electronically commutated electric motor that acts upon an output shaft and that is configured to drive a working tool. The hand power tool further includes at least one motor housing part that accommodates the electronically commutated electric motor. The electronically commutated electric motor and the output shaft define a common first axis that is coaxial with the output shaft. At least one handle region of the hand power tool accommodates at least one set of electronics configured to energize the electronically commutated electric motor. The motor housing part and the handle region are disposed at an angle to each other. The working tool has a diameter that is between 75 and 150 mm, but preferably is between 115 and 125 mm.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A battery-operated hand power tool, comprising:
at least one working tool;
at least one electronically commutated electric motor configured to act upon an output shaft and to drive the working tool;
at least one motor housing part configured to accommodate the electronically commutated electric motor, the electronically commutated electric motor and the output shaft defining a common first axis that is coaxial with the output shaft; and
at least one handle region that is configured to accommodate at least one set of electronics configured to energize the electronically commutated electric motor,
wherein the working tool has a diameter that is between 75 and 150 mm, and
wherein a ratio of a length of the battery-operated hand power tool to a height along the first axis of the motor housing part is between 1.8 and 2.2.

2. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the handle region has at least one first grip region with a circumference that is between 110 and 200 mm to enable one-handed operation of the battery-operated hand power tool in each working position.

3. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 2 , further comprising a second grip region disposed on the motor housing part, the second grip region being configured as a knob.

4. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 3 , wherein a first length defined from an outer casing of the second grip region to a wall of the at least one motor housing part is between 5 and 30 mm.

5. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 4 , wherein the first length is between 10 and 20 mm.

6. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 2 , wherein the circumference of the at least one first grip region is between 150 and 175 mm.

7. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the electronically commutated electric motor drives a carrier shaft.

8. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the electronically commutated electric motor is configured as an internal-rotor motor.

9. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one fan disposed in the first housing part, the fan being integrated between the electronically commutated electric motor and a receiver of the working tool.

10. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one dust suction device integrated in the first housing part.

11. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the battery-operated hand power tool is configured as an eccentric sander, and wherein the diameter of the working tool is between 115 and 125 mm.

12. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the length of the battery-operated hand power tool to the height along the first axis of the motor housing part is 2.0.

13. A battery-operated hand power tool, comprising:
at least one working tool;
at least one electronically commutated electric motor configured to act upon an output shaft and to drive the working tool;
at least one motor housing part configured to accommodate the electronically commutated electric motor, the electronically commutated electric motor and the output shaft defining a common first axis that is coaxial with the output shaft; and
at least one handle region that is configured to accommodate at least one set of electronics configured to energize the electronically commutated electric motor,
wherein the working tool has a diameter that is between 75 and 150 mm, and
wherein a ratio of a length of the battery-operated hand power tool to a diameter of the working tool is between 1.2 and 2.8.

14. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 13 , wherein the ratio of the length of the battery-operated hand power tool to the diameter of the working tool is between 1.4 and 1.8.

15. A battery-operated hand power tool, comprising:
at least one working tool;
at least one electronically commutated electric motor configured to act upon an output shaft and to drive the working tool;
at least one motor housing part configured to accommodate the electronically commutated electric motor, the electronically commutated electric motor and the output shaft defining a common first axis that is coaxial with the output shaft; and
at least one handle region that is configured to accommodate at least one set of electronics configured to energize the electronically commutated electric motor,
wherein the working tool has a diameter that is between 75 and 150 mm, and
wherein a ratio of the diameter of the working tool to a diameter of the electronically commutated electric motor is less than or equal to 4.0.

16. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 15 , wherein a ratio of a height along the first axis of the motor housing part to a diameter of the working tool is less than or equal to 1.15.

17. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 16 , wherein the height of the motor housing part along the first axis is between 90 and 135 mm.

18. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 17 , wherein the height of the motor housing part along the first axis is between 105 and 110 mm.

19. The battery-operated hand power tool according to claim 16 , wherein the ratio of the height along the first axis of the motor housing part to the diameter of the working tool is less than 0.9.
