Electric tool
An electric tool including: a motor; a housing including, a motor housing accommodating the motor, and a handle housing having one end connected to the motor housing and another other end configured to be provided with a detachable battery pack; an output part partially accommodated in the motor housing and configured to be driven by the motor; and a control board accommodated in the motor housing and configured to control the motor.
1. An electric tool comprising:
a motor including an output shaft, the output shaft extending in a front-rear direction;
a cooling fan configured to be rotated by the motor;
a housing including,
a motor housing accommodating the motor, and
a handle housing having one end connected to the motor housing and another end configured to be provided with a detachable battery pack, the handle housing extending downwardly from the motor housing;
a switching element configured to control energization of the motor; and
a control board accommodated in the motor housing and configured to control energization of the switching element,
wherein the switching element is disposed within the motor housing,
wherein the control board includes a microcomputer configured to control the energization of the switching element, the microcomputer extending in the front-rear direction,
wherein the control board is disposed below the motor and extends in the front-rear direction, and
wherein the microcomputer is arranged in front of the motor and is disposed on the control board.
2. The electric tool according to claim 1 , wherein the motor housing includes a vent hole, and
wherein the control board is arranged near the vent hole.
3. An electric tool comprising:
a housing including,
a motor housing extending in a front-rear direction, and
a handle housing extending downward from the motor housing;
a battery pack fixed to a lower portion of the handle housing;
a motor accommodated in the motor housing;
a cooling fan configured to be rotated by the motor;
an output shaft configured to be driven by power from the motor;
a switching element configured to control energization of the motor; and
a board provided at the motor housing, and including the switching element
wherein the switching element is disposed at an upstream side of the motor in an air flow direction in which air flows within the motor housing by a rotation of the cooling fan, and
wherein the switching element is provided in the motor housing, a longitudinal direction of the switching element is substantially parallel to the board and the board extends in the front-rear direction.
4. The electric tool according to claim 1 , wherein the microcomputer is arranged in front of the switching element within the motor housing.
5. The electric tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an output part configured to hold a tool; and
a light configured to irradiate a surrounding of the tool,
wherein the light is electrically connected to the control board and is disposed in front of the microcomputer.
6. The electric tool according to claim 5 , wherein the light is disposed at a position separated from the control board.
7. The electric tool according to claim 3 , further comprising:
a microcomputer configured to control the switching element,
wherein the microcomputer is arranged in front of the motor within the motor housing.
8. The electric tool according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a light configured to irradiate a surrounding of a tool held by the output part.
9. The electric tool according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a light configured to irradiate a surrounding of a tool held by the output part,
wherein the light is disposed at a position separated from the control board.
