Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power drill having percussion drilling function, drilling function and screwing function has a gearing for transmitting the drive motion of a drive unit to a tool spindle. Furthermore, two latching elements are provided which, in the percussion drilling function, are in latching engagement and in the drilling or screwing position are in the disengaged state. A mode setting device has a rotatable supporting ring and a thrust ring, coupled to the supporting ring in a torsionally fixed manner which, in the screwing position is held on the gear housing in an axially displaceable manner.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A power drill having a percussion drilling function, a drilling function and a screwing function, comprising: a gearing for transmitting the drive motion of a drive unit to a tool spindle; two latching elements which in a percussion drilling position are in latching engagement and in a drilling position and a screwing position are disengaged; a mode setting device including a supporting ring, wherein the mode setting device is rotatable by manual operation; and a thrust ring coupled to the supporting ring, in a torsionally fixed manner, which is supported on a gear housing of the gearing, by the rotation of the mode setting device the desired mode being able to be set, wherein the thrust ring in the screwing position is held axially displaceably on the gear housing and in the percussion drilling position and in the drilling position is fixed axially on the gear housing; wherein one of the latching elements is held axially adjustably, and the axially adjustably held latching element or a component connected to the axially adjustably held latching element is supported on an adjusting contour on the supporting ring for transferring between the percussion drilling function and the drilling function or screwing function, wherein the thrust ring includes at least one radially inwardly projecting protrusion which is accommodated in a circumferential groove on the gear housing for axially form-locking the thrust ring on the gear housing in the drilling and the percussion drilling function. 2. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein the tool spindle is held axially adjustable with respect to the gear housing, for transferring between the percussion drilling position and the drilling position or the screwing position. 3. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein the thrust ring is held in the axially fixed position, axially form-locking on the gear housing. 4. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein at least one axially projecting shoulder is formed on the supporting ring which, for coupling in the rotational direction, engages in a corresponding recess on the thrust ring. 5. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein the supporting ring encompasses the thrust ring at least partially. 6. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein a locking part coupled to the latching element is supported on the adjusting contour on the supporting ring. 7. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein a spring device having two spring retaining rings and at least one spring element lying in-between is provided for the axial application of force to the thrust ring. 8. The power drill of claim 7 , wherein one of the two spring retaining rings facing away from the thrust ring is to be adjusted axially by a torque setting sleeve. 9. The power drill of claim 7 , wherein one of the two spring retaining rings contacting the thrust ring is encompassed by the supporting ring. 10. The power drill of claim 8 , wherein the torque setting sleeve is acted upon with a latching torque by a latching spring element. 11. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein the thrust ring in the screwing position is held axially displaceably on the gear housing such that when the torque exceeds an adjustable threshold value, the thrust ring is configured to lift off axially from the gear housing. 12. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein the mode setting device includes a manually operable mode setting sleeve which is rotatably supported relative to the gear housing about a longitudinal axis of the power drill to set the percussion drilling function, drilling function and screwing function. 13. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein the thrust ring in the screwing position is held axially displaceably relative to the supporting ring. 14. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting contour is arranged on an end face of the supporting ring and the adjusting contour includes axial height changes which are transmitted onto the latching disk via the locking part such that the latching disk changes its corresponding axial position. 15. The power drill of claim 1 , wherein the at least one radially inwardly projecting protrusion which is accommodated in an axial groove on the gear housing for holding the thrust ring axially displaceably on the gear housing in the screwing function. 16. A power drill having a percussion drilling function, a drilling function and a screwing function, comprising: a gearing for transmitting the drive motion of a drive unit to a tool spindle; two latching elements which in a percussion drilling position are in latching engagement and in a drilling position and a screwing position are disengaged; a mode setting device including a supporting ring, wherein the mode setting device is rotatable by manual operation; and a thrust ring coupled to the supporting ring, in a torsionally fixed manner, which is supported on a gear housing of the gearing, by the rotation of the mode setting device the desired mode being able to be set, wherein the thrust ring in the screwing position is held axially displaceably on the gear housing and in the percussion drilling position and in the drilling position is fixed axially on the gear housing; wherein one of the latching elements is held axially adjustably, and the axially adjustably held latching element or a component connected to the axially adjustably held latching element is supported on an adjusting contour on the supporting ring for transferring between the percussion drilling function and the drilling function or screwing function, wherein the adjusting contour is arranged on an end face of the supporting ring and the adjusting contour includes axial height changes which are transmitted onto the latching disk via the locking part such that the latching disk changes its corresponding axial position.
