One end of the fixing part 41 away from the cutter 2 is fixed with the bottom wall of the mounting groove 161 through the pin 436, and a plurality of grooves for mounting gears in the transmission component 43 and a plurality of through holes for shafts of the gears to pass through are arranged on the fixing part 41. The fixing part 41 is fixed with the bottom wall of the mounting groove 161 through the pin 436. Through a matching and fixing of the mounting groove 161 and the pin 436, a connection stability of the tensioning assembly 4 on the housing 1 may be increased. In addition, one end of a transmission rod 433 away from a second fixing part 412 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 161, so that the transmission rod 433 also plays a certain supporting role to the fixing part 41.
The adjusting part 42 is slidably connected with the fixing part 41 through the transmitting component 43, and the adjusting part 42 is L-shaped. A second connecting shaft 435 is fixed on a side plate with a longer length in the adjusting part 42, and the second connecting shaft 435 is fixedly connected with the guiding bar 22. The second connecting shaft 435 passes through a through hole on the guiding bar 22 to realize a connection between the adjusting part 42 and the guiding bar 22, so that the guiding bar 22 may reciprocate with the adjusting part 42.
One end of the transmitting component 43 extends into the embedded hole 16121 to realize a quick mounting of the tensioning assembly 4 and the housing 1.
In this embodiment, the transmitting component 43 includes a driving helical gear 431, a driven helical gear 432 and the transmission rod 433. Wherein, the driven helical gear 432 is rotatably connected in the groove of the fixing part 41, and an axis of the driven helical gear 432 is in a same direction as a length direction of the fixing part 41. The transmission rod 433 is arranged along the length direction of the fixing part 41. A first end of the transmission rod 433 is coaxially fixed with the driven helical gear 432. A middle section of the transmission rod 433 is rotatably connected with the fixing part 41 through a bearing, and an external thread is formed on a surface of a section of the transmission rod 433 close to the cutter 2, and is in a threaded connection with the adjusting part 42 through external threads. A second end of the transmission rod 433 extends into the embedded hole 16121. In addition, it should be noted that, one end of the transmission rod 433 extending into the embedded hole 16121 is unthreaded and in a smooth rod structure, so that it may rotate in the embedded hole 16121.
Further, in an embodiment of the disclosure, the fixing part 41 includes a first fixing part 411 and the second fixing part 412. The first fixing part 411 is a mounting block, and one end of the first fixing part 411 away from the cutter 2 is fixed with the bottom wall of the mounting groove 161 through the pin 436. The second fixing part 412 adopts a rounded lug plate. In some embodiments, the first fixing part 411 and the second fixing part 412 are integrally formed.
Corresponding to the first fixing part 411 and the second fixing part 412, the mounting groove 161 includes a first mounting groove 161land a second mounting groove 1612. The first fixing part 411 and the driving helical gear 431 are arranged in the first mounting groove 1611, and the second fixing part 412, the adjusting part 42, the driven helical gear 432 and the transmission rod 433 are arranged in the second mounting groove 1612. The second fixing part 412 is fixedly connected with a bottom wall of the second mounting groove 1612 through the pin 436, and the embedded hole 16121 is opened in a side wall of the second mounting groove 1612 close to the saw chain 21.
Further, in order to effectively control a moving trajectory of the adjusting part 42 along the transmission rod 433, a first blocking wall 16122 and a second blocking wall 16123 in a stepped shape are arranged on an inner side wall of the second mounting groove 1612, and the first blocking wall 16122 and the second blocking wall 16123 are perpendicular to each other. Correspondingly, a side wall of the adjusting part 42 extends toward an inner side wall of the second mounting groove 1612, thereby forming the blocking edge 421. The blocking edge 421 abuts against the first blocking wall 16122 of the inner side wall of the second mounting groove 1612, thereby limiting a movement range of the adjusting part 42 in a length direction of the transmission rod 433. The blocking edge 421 abuts against the second blocking wall 16123 of the inner side wall of the second mounting groove 1612, thereby limiting a movement range of the adjusting part 42 in a width direction of the transmission rod 433.
In this embodiment, in a process of mounting the tensioning assembly 4, the transmission rod 433 of the tensioning assembly 4 may extend into the embedded hole 16121, and the fixing part 41 in the tensioning assembly 4 is fixed through the pin 436, so that a stable mounting of the tensioning assembly 4 is realized. The driving helical gear 432 is rotatably connected with the first fixing part 411, located on an upper side of the driven helical gear 432 and meshed with the driven helical gear 432. And a first connecting shaft 434 is coaxially fixed on the driving helical gear 431. The first connecting shaft 434 passes through the side wall of the adjusting part 42 and extends to the outside of the housing 1, and a knob (not marked in the figure) is fixed at one end of the first connecting shaft 434 away from the driving helical gear 431.
In actual work, the user may rotate the knob and enable the driving helical gear 431 to rotate through a rotation of the first connecting shaft 434, thereby driving the driven helical gear 432 to rotate, and then driving a rotation of the transmission rod 433. The rotation of the transmission rod 433 drives the adjusting part 42 to move along a length direction of the second mounting groove 1612. And since the first blocking wall 16122 and the second blocking wall 16123 of the second mounting groove 1612 abut against the blocking edge 421 of the adjusting part 42 in the length direction and width direction, the adjusting part 42 is adjusted and moved according to a trajectory of the length direction of the second mounting groove 1612, and an adjusting range of the adjusting part 42 is limited.
In summary, the disclosure arranges the air guiding cover in the housing and placing the motor and the blower in the air guiding cover, so that it has a certain guiding effect on the airflow generated by the blower, which prevents the hot airflow around the motor from flowing in the housing. Through closely connecting the air guiding opening with the air outlet, the hot airflow may be prevented from flowing to other positions in the housing during the exchange of hot and cold air in the blower chamber, which may cause reducing the heat dissipation effect. Through setting the area of the air guiding opening to be the same as the area of the air outlet, the air outlet may directly discharge the air discharged from the air guiding opening to the outside when the air guiding opening is discharging, and there will be no turbulence at the air outlet, which further improves the air outlet efficiency and increases the heat dissipation effect.
Further, the fixing part is fixed with the bottom wall of the mounting groove through the pin, so that the connection stability of the tensioning assembly on the housing may be increased. In addition, an end of the transmission rod away from the fixing part extends into the embedded hole of the mounting groove, so that a quick fixation of the tensioning assembly may be realized, and the connection stability between the tensioning assembly and the housing is improved. Further, the first blocking wall and the second blocking wall are arranged through the inner side wall of the mounting groove in the stepped shape, the blocking edge is formed on the side wall of the adjusting part, and the blocking edge abuts against the first blocking wall and the second blocking wall at a step of the inner side wall of the mounting groove, so that the limiting of the adjusting range of the adjusting part is realized.
At the same time, the disclosure may effectively improve a problem that impurities and a small amount of liquid enter the housing through the air inlet in a process of use of the chainsaw. The heat dissipation passages are formed between the air inlet, the cavity, the air guiding opening, and the air outlet, and at the same time, the protective part is arranged at the bottom of the air inlet. The protruding ribs are arranged at the edge of the protective plate, which can effectively block moisture and dust while ensuring the heat dissipation, and prevents the dust and moisture carried in the airflow from directly entering an inside of the housing from the air inlet and damaging the motor. Therefore, the disclosure effectively overcomes various shortcomings in the prior art, thereby having high industrial utilization value.
