Abstract

A combined housing for a power tool has an inner housing body and an outer layer body attached to the outside of the inner housing body. The combined housing has at least one vibration-suppressing area. The vibration-suppressing area is provided with a plurality of vibration-suppressing structure units and each vibration-suppressing structure unit has a unit channel formed by the inner housing body and a unit groove formed by the outer layer body and arranged on one end of the unit channel. The unit groove and the unit channel of each vibration-suppressing structure unit form a vibration-suppressing cavit, and the outer layer body serves as the outside of the outer housing.

Claims (34)

1. A combined housing having at least one vibration-suppressing area, comprising:

an inner housing body; and

an outer layer body attached to the outside of the inner housing body;

wherein the vibration-suppressing area is provided with a plurality of vibration-suppressing structure units and each vibration-suppressing structure unit comprises:

a unit channel formed by the inner housing body, the unit channel extending through the inner housing body; and

a unit groove formed by the outer layer body and arranged on one end of the unit channel;

wherein the unit groove and the unit channel of each vibration-suppressing structure unit form a vibration-suppressing cavity,

wherein the inner housing body further comprises a first surface attached to the outer layer body and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the unit channel is a through hole passing through the inner housing body along a central axis, and the through hole has a first end connected with the first surface and a second end connected with the second surface along the central axis,

wherein the unit groove extends along the central axis, and

wherein the outer layer body is provided with a plurality of connecting portions at least extending from one vibration-suppressing cavity to another vibration-suppressing cavity, and each connecting portion comprises a first part, a second part, and third part, wherein the first part is accommodated inside one through hole, the second part is accommodated inside another through hole, and the third part connects the first part and the second part.

2. The combined housing according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration-suppressing structure units are uniformly distributed in the vibration-suppressing area.

3. The combined housing according to claim 1 , wherein the depth of the unit groove is smaller than the length of the unit channel in each vibration-suppressing structure unit.

4. The combined housing according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration-suppressing cavity is gradually narrowed from the interior to the exterior thereof.

5. The combined housing according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the outer layer body having a maximum thickness is located in the vibration-suppressing area.

6. The combined housing according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portions are tightly contacted with the inner housing body.

7. The combined housing according to claim 1 , wherein the ends of the connecting portions are respectively formed at the edges of the unit grooves.

8. The combined housing according to claim 1 , wherein a channel wall of the unit channel is provided with a channel slot for embedding the connecting portion.

9. The combined housing according to claim 8 , wherein the vibration-suppressing cavity has a symmetrical structure relative to a central axis thereof.

10. The combined housing according to claim 9 , wherein a sectional plane of the vibration-suppressing cavity has a closed shape and comprises a plurality of straight edges.

11. The combined housing according to claim 10 , wherein the number of the straight edges of the sectional plane of the vibration-suppressing cavity is even.

12. The combined housing according to claim 11 , wherein the sectional plane of the vibration-suppressing cavity is a hexagon.

13. The combined housing according to claim 12 , wherein the distances between the central axes of the vibration-suppressing cavities of the vibration-suppressing structure units are the same.

14. The combined housing according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the outer layer body is more flexible than the material of the inner housing body.

15. A power tool, comprising:

an outer housing; and

an inner working assembly for driving a tool accommodated in the outer housing;

wherein the outer housing comprises:

a combined housing having at least one vibration-suppressing area, the combined housing comprising an inner housing body and an outer layer body attached to the outside of the inner housing body, the vibration-suppressing area is provided with a plurality of vibration-suppressing structure units, each vibration-suppressing structure unit comprises a unit channel formed by the inner housing body, the unit channel passing through the entire width of the inner housing body and a unit groove formed by the outer layer body and arranged on one end of the unit channel, the unit groove and the unit channel of each vibration-suppressing structure unit form a vibration-suppressing cavity, and the outer layer body serves as the outside of the outer housing,

wherein the inner housing body comprises a first surface attached to the outer layer body and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the unit channel is a through hole passing through the inner housing body along a central axis, and the through hole has a first end connected with the first surface and a second end connected with the second surface along the central axis,

wherein the unit groove extends along the central axis, and

wherein the outer layer body is provided with a plurality of connecting portions at least extending from one vibration-suppressing cavity to another vibration-suppressing cavity, and each connecting portion comprises a first part, a second part, and third part, wherein the first part is accommodated inside one through hole, the second part is accommodated inside another through hole, and the third part connects the first part and the second part.

16. The power tool according to claim 15 , wherein the outer housing comprises a contacting portion for forming a handle to be handled by a user, and the vibration-suppressing area of the combined housing is at least arranged on the contacting portion.

17. The power tool according to claim 16 , wherein the power tool may be any one of sander, angle grinder, circular saw, electric drill, electric screwdriver, grass trimmer, lawn mower, blower, pruner or chain saw.
