Abstract

A reciprocating tool includes a motor, a reciprocating member, and a crank mechanism. The motor is disposed in a housing. The reciprocating member projects from the housing. The crank mechanism converts rotation of a rotation shaft of the motor into reciprocation of the reciprocating member. The crank mechanism rotates around an axis ma lateral direction by rotation transmission from the rotation, shaft, and the crank, mechanism includes a crank member having an eccentric pin, a connecting rod coupling the eccentric pin to the reciprocating member, and a balancer coupled to the eccentric pin, and the balancer is supported by the eccentric pin alone in the housing.

Claims (57)

1. A reciprocating tool, comprising:

a motor disposed, in a housing;

a reciprocating member projecting from the housing; and

a crank mechanism, that converts rotation of a rotation shaft of the motor into reciprocation of the reciprocating member, wherein

the crank mechanism, rotates around an axis in a lateral direction by rotation transmission from the rotation shaft, and the crank mechanism includes a crank member having an eccentric pin, a connecting rod coupling the eccentric pin to the reciprocating member, and a balancer coupled to the eccentric pin, and

the balancer is supported by the eccentric pin alone in the housing.

2. The reciprocating tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the balancer is supported by pressing-in of the eccentric pin.

3. The reciprocating tool according to claim 2 , wherein

the balancer includes a weight portion in fan-shape in side view and a projecting portion projecting from the center of the weight portion, and

the eccentric pin is pressed-in to a press-in hole disposed on a distal end of the projecting portion.

4. The reciprocating tool according to claim 3 , wherein

the crank member is retained by fixing a washer on a support shaft disposed on the housing by a bolt, and

the balancer includes a through hole disposed on the extended line of the bolt and configured to perform rotation operation of the bolt by a tool.

5. The reciprocating tool according to claim 4 , wherein

the balancer includes a positioning hole for positioning in fixing.

6. The reciprocating tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the crank member is a bevel gear.

7. The reciprocating tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the housing is formed using a right and left split molds, and one split mold has a large left and right width compared with another split mold, and

the crank member is housed in the one split mold having the large left and right width.

8. The reciprocating tool, according to claim 1 , wherein

the motor is a brushless motor where the rotation shaft extends in the front-rear direction, and

the reciprocating tool further comprises:

a tip end tool holder driven by the brushless motor;

a motor housing of an integrally molded cylinder type for housing the brushless motor;

a handle housing of a loop type coupled to the motor housing; and

a control unit that is disposed on the lower portion of the handle housing and controls the brushless motor.

9. The reciprocating tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the motor is a brushless motor where the rotation shaft extends in the front-rear direction, and

the reciprocating tool further comprises:

a tip end tool holder driven by the brushless motor;

a motor housing of an integrally molded cylinder type for housing the brushless motor;

a handle housing coupled to the motor housing;

a battery mounting portion that is disposed on the lower portion of the handle housing and mounts a battery; and

a control unit that is disposed on the battery mounting portion and controls the brushless motor.

10. The reciprocating tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the motor is a brushless motor where the rotation shaft extends in the front-rear direction, and

the reciprocating tool further comprises:

a tip end tool holder driven by the brushiess motor;

a first motor housing of an integrally molded cylinder type for housing the brushless motor;

a second motor housing that covers the first motor housing; and

a handle housing integrally formed with the second motor housing.

11. The reciprocating tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the motor is a brushless motor where the rotation shaft extends in the front-rear direction, and

the reciprocating tool further comprises:

a tip end tool holder driven .by the brushless motor;

a motor housing of an integrally molded cylinder type for housing the brushless motor;

a handle housing coupled to the motor housing;

a control unit that is disposed on the lower portion of the handle housing and controls the brushless motor;

an exhaust outlet disposed on the motor housing; and

an air intake opening disposed on the handle housing.

12. The reciprocating tool according to claim 10 , wherein

the first motor housing includes an outlet for wirings coupled to the brushless motor.

13. The reciprocating tool according to claim 8 , wherein

the handle housing includes a handle front portion and a handle rear portion, and

the handle front portion includes a power supply line, and the handle rear portion includes a trigger signal line.
