ELECTRIC POWER TOOL
A disc grinder comprises: a motor serving as a driving source; a housing in which the motor is housed; a centrifugal fan mounted on an output shaft of the motor, and configured to provide cooling air for cooling the motor; and a first flow-regulating member for guiding cooling air in a radially-outward direction of the output shaft, and a second flow-regulating member for guiding cooling air guided by the first flow-regulating member toward the front end of the housing.
1 . An electric power tool comprising:
a motor serving as a driving source;
a tool body in which the motor is housed, and which has an air intake port and an exhaust port;
a centrifugal fan mounted on an output shaft of the motor, and configured to provide cooling air for cooling the motor; and
a fan guide formed so as to encircle the centrifugal fan, and configured to guide the cooling air,
wherein an extended portion extending in a radial direction of the centrifugal fan is formed in the fan guide; and
wherein the extended portion is gradually sloped along a rotation direction of the centrifugal fan toward the exhaust port.
2 . The electric power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the extended portion is formed into a sloped shape, and sloped along the rotation direction of the centrifugal fan toward the exhaust port.
3 . The electric power tool according to claim 2 , wherein an opening allowing the cooling air to flow therethrough is formed in front of a slope of the extended portion in the rotation direction of the centrifugal fan.
4 . The electric power tool according to claim 1 , comprising a portion opposite to the centrifugal fan in an axial direction of the centrifugal fan, the portion being sloped along the rotation direction of the centrifugal fan toward the exhaust port.
5 . An electric power tool comprising:
a motor serving as a driving source;
a tool body housing the motor therein and having an air intake port and an exhaust port;
a centrifugal fan fitted on an output shaft of the motor, the centrifugal fan generating cooling air that cools the motor;
a first flow-regulating member that guides the cooling air to outside of the output shaft in its radial direction; and a second flow-regulating member that guides the cooling air guided by the first flow-regulating member, toward a front end of the tool body,
wherein the second flow-regulating member includes: a base portion; an outer wall extending from the base portion in an axial direction of the output shaft and located outside in a radial direction of the centrifugal fan; and a first extended portion extending from the outer wall toward radial interior of the centrifugal fan,
wherein an axial distance between the first extended portion and the base portion is gradually reduced along a rotation direction of the centrifugal fan.
6 . The electric power tool according to claim 5 , wherein the first extended portion is gradually sloped along the rotation direction of the centrifugal fan toward the exhaust port.
7 . The electric power tool according to claim 6 , wherein an opening allowing the cooling air to flow therethrough is provided in front of a slope of the first extended portion in the rotation direction of the centrifugal fan.
8 . The electric power tool according to claim 7 , wherein
the second flow-regulating member includes: a second extended portion facing the centrifugal fan in the axial direction,
the first extended portion is gradually sloped along the rotation direction of the centrifugal fan toward the exhaust port.
9 . The electric power tool according to claim 8 , wherein
the second flow-regulating member includes an outer flow-regulating portion having the first extended portion, and an inner flow-regulating portion having the second extended portion,
the opening is formed between the outer flow-regulating portion and the inner flow-regulating portion, and
the first extended portion and the second extended portion are each formed into a sloped shape, and sloped along the rotation direction of the centrifugal fan toward a front side of the tool body.
