Electric power tool
An electric power tool includes a motor, a spindle, a first vibration cam, a housing, a second vibration cam, a vibration switching member, and a plurality of biasing members. The spindle is rotatable by the motor. The first vibration cam is fixed to the spindle. The first vibration cam is located inward of the housing. The second vibration cam is located inward of the housing. The second vibration cam is configured to be in friction with the first vibration cam. The vibration switching member switches between a rotatable condition and an unrotatable condition of the second vibration cam with respect to the housing. The plurality of biasing members bias the vibration switching member.
1. An electric power tool comprising:
a motor;
a spindle rotatable by the motor;
a first vibration cam fixed to the spindle;
a housing, the first vibration cam being located inward of the housing;
a second vibration cam located inward of the housing, the second vibration cam being configured to be in frictional contact with the first vibration cam;
a set of three vibration switching levers that are (i) each arcuate-shaped and circumferentially arranged, and (ii) collectively form a ring shape, the vibration switching levers operating to switch between a rotatable condition and an unrotatable condition of the second vibration cam with respect to the housing; and
a plurality of biasing members that bias the set of three vibration switching levers.
2. The electric power tool according to claim 1 , wherein
three or more of the biasing members are disposed and circumferentially arranged.
3. The electric power tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the second vibration cam has a plurality of claws, and
each vibration switching lever includes a vibration switching claw, and each vibration switching claw is hooked to one of the claws to block the rotation of the second vibration cam.
4. An electric power tool comprising:
a motor;
a spindle rotatable by the motor,
a first vibration cam fixed to the spindle;
a housing, the first vibration cam being located inward of the housing;
a second vibration cam located inward of the housing, the second vibration cam being configured to be in frictional contact with the first vibration cam; and
a set of three vibration switching levers that are (i) each arcuate-shaped and circumferentially arranged, and (ii) collectively form a ring shape, the vibration switching levers operating to switch between a rotatable condition and an unrotatable condition of the second vibration cam with respect to the housing, wherein
the set of three vibration switching levers are disposed to be movable back and forth.
5. The electric power tool according to claim 4 , wherein
the housing includes a main body housing and a gear housing located inward of the main body housing, and
the vibration switching levers are located inward of the main body housing and radially outward of a tubular portion of the gear housing.
6. The electric power tool according to claim 4 , wherein
the vibration switching lever includes a vibration switching cam portion for the vibration switching lever to axially move.
7. The electric power tool according to claim 1 , further comprising a vibration support ring disposed in front of the set of three vibration switching levers, the vibration support ring having a plurality of cam depressed portions each configured to receive a bulge portion that is disposed on each of the three vibration switching levers.
8. The electric power tool according to claim 4 , further comprising a vibration support ring disposed in front of the set of three vibration switching levers, the vibration support ring having a plurality of cam depressed portions each configured to receive a bulge portion that is disposed on each of the three vibration switching levers.
9. The electric power tool according to claim 7 , further comprising a mode switching ring that, when rotated, causes the bulge portion to contact one of the cam depressed portions.
10. The electric power tool according to claim 8 , further comprising a mode switching ring that, when rotated, causes the bulge portion to contact one of the cam depressed portions.
11. The electric power tool according to claim 3 , further comprising a mode switching ring that, when rotated, causes each vibration switching claw to be hooked to a corresponding claw of the second vibration cam.
12. The electric power tool according to claim 4 , further comprising a mode switching ring,
wherein the second vibration cam has a plurality of claws,
each vibration switching lever includes a vibration switching claw, and each vibration switching claw is hooked to one of the claws to block the rotation of the second vibration cam, and
the mode switching ring, when rotated, causes each vibration switching claw to be hooked to the claws of the second cam.
