Abstract

A hand-held power tool includes a housing, a drive motor, an intermediate shaft that can be driven by the drive motor, and a percussion mechanism. The percussion mechanism has a striker and at least one percussion mechanism spring which is connected to the striker in a rotationally fixed manner, and the percussion mechanism can be driven at least in part by the intermediate shaft. The hand-held power tool further includes a tool holder, which is configured for holding an insert tool, and can be driven by means of the percussion mechanism, in particular the striker and/or the intermediate shaft. The intermediate shaft includes at least one bearing, and the percussion mechanism spring is connected to the bearing in a rotationally fixed manner.

Claims (28)

1 . A hand-held power tool comprising:

a housing;

a drive motor;

an intermediate shaft driven by the drive motor;

a percussion mechanism comprising a striker and at least one percussion mechanism spring which is connected and rotationally-fixed to the striker, the percussion mechanism configured to be driven at least in part by the intermediate shaft; and

a tool holder configured to receive an insert tool, the tool holder configured to be driven by the percussion mechanism,

wherein the intermediate shaft comprises at least one bearing that includes a fastening element with a circumferential web surrounding the intermediate shaft,

wherein the percussion mechanism spring includes a circumferential perimeter surrounding the intermediate shaft, and

wherein the circumferential perimeter of the percussion mechanism spring forms a press-fit connection with said circumferential web of the fastening element of the bearing in a rotationally fixed manner.

2 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate shaft further comprises at least one planet carrier, and the bearing is disposed between the percussion mechanism spring and the planet carrier.

3 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing comprises at least one stabilizing element configured to connect the fastening element to the bearing.

4 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the circumferential web is incorporated in a bearing race of the bearing.

5 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing comprises at least one centering element configured to center the bearing relative to the intermediate shaft.

6 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing comprises at least one retaining element configured to restrain rolling elements of the bearing.

7 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the percussion mechanism further comprises at least one further percussion mechanism spring.

8 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein:

the striker comprises a guide element,

the bearing comprises a guide opening, and

the guide element is configured to engage through the guide opening.

9 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the striker comprises a projecting element that projects at least partly beyond the bearing.

10 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the tool holder is driven by at least one of the striker and the intermediate shaft.

11 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one stabilizing element is configured to connect the fastening element to a bearing race of the bearing.

12 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein:

said circumferential perimeter of said percussion mechanism spring is an inner perimeter; and

said circumferential web of said fastening element is disposed radially between said intermediate shaft and said percussion mechanism spring with said inner perimeter in press-fit connection with said circumferential web.

13 . The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein:

said circumferential perimeter of said percussion mechanism spring is an outer perimeter; and

said percussion mechanism spring is disposed radially between said circumferential web of said fastening element and said intermediate shaft with said outer perimeter in press-fit connection with said circumferential web.
