Abstract

A power tool includes a power mechanism including a drive shaft; an oscillating mechanism; an airflow element connected to the drive shaft; a heat conducting portion supported on the drive shaft, where the airflow element is disposed on the heat conducting portion. The oscillating mechanism includes a support assembly sleeved on the drive shaft and an oscillating member. Heat generated by the oscillating mechanism is conducted to the heat conducting portion through the drive shaft, the heat conducting portion has a thermal conductivity greater than or equal to 50 W/m·° C., and a ratio of an axial distance L 1 of a portion of the heat conducting portion in contact with the drive shaft to a distance L 2 of a thermally conductive portion of the drive shaft between the heat conducting portion and the support assembly is greater than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 5.

Claims (43)

1. A power tool, comprising:
