Abstract

The handheld power tool has a tool receptacle for accommodating a tool on a working axis ( 11 ) and an electric motor ( 5 ). A pneumatic percussion mechanism ( 6 ) has an exciter, which is moved back-and-forth by the motor ( 5 ) periodically in parallel to the working axis ( 11 ), a striker ( 14 ), which is movable on the working axis ( 11 ) and is coupled via a pneumatic spring ( 18 ) to the exciter, and an anvil ( 19 ), which is situated movably on the working axis ( 11 ) and is situated downstream from the striker ( 14 ) in the percussion direction ( 12 ). The anvil ( 19 ) has a cylindrical anvil section ( 22 ) having a diameter and multiple channels ( 30 ) extending over the entire length ( 31 ) of the anvil section ( 22 ). A cross-sectional area of the anvil section ( 22 ) is at most 5% less than a circular area defined by the diameter.

Claims (18)

1. A handheld power tool comprising:

a tool receptacle for accommodating a tool on a working axis;

an electric motor;

a pneumatic percussion mechanism having an exciter moved back-and-forth by the motor periodically in parallel to the working axis;

a striker movable on the working axis and coupled via a pneumatic spring to the exciter; and

an anvil situated movably on the working axis and downstream from the striker in the percussion direction;

the anvil having a cylindrical anvil section having a diameter and multiple longitudinal channels extending over an entire length and distributed around a circumference of the cylindrical anvil section, a cross-sectional area of the anvil section being at most 5% less than a circular area defined by the diameter.

2. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the cross-sectional area of the anvil section is at least 1.0% less than the circular area.

3. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein a guide sleeve has a cylindrical guide section, the cylindrical anvil section being guided in the cylindrical guide section, an internal diameter of the guide section being equal to the diameter of the anvil section.

4. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 3 wherein the anvil has a further cylindrical anvil section situated in the percussion direction downstream from the anvil section, the guide sleeve having a further guide section, the further anvil section being guided in an airtight manner in the further guide section.

5. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 3 wherein the anvil and the guide sleeve close off an air chamber only ventilated through the channels.

6. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 3 wherein the guide sleeve is movable along the working axis and is pre-tensioned by a damper against the percussion direction.

7. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the cross-sectional area of the anvil section is constant over the entire length of the anvil section.

8. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the exciter is coupled via an eccentric to the motor.

9. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 8 wherein the exciter is coupled to the eccentric by a connecting rod.

10. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the cylindrical anvil section has a knurled lateral surface.

11. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein a number of the multiple longitudinal channels exceeds 20.

12. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein a depth of the multiple longitudinal channels is in a range of 0.25% to 2.5% of the diameter.
