A motor-driven machine tool with a drive unit and a tool change magazine is known from EP 2 101 960 B1.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure is based on a hand-held machine tool, in particular a screwdriver, with a housing, with an insert tool magazine which has a plurality of insert tool chambers for holding one insert tool each and is rotatably arranged in the housing, with a tool holder for rotatably driving at least one of the insert tools, wherein the tool holder is rotatably arranged in a tool holder opening of the housing, with a feed element which is designed to displace one of the insert tools from a parking position out of one of the insert tool chambers into a working position in the tool holder, with an actuating element which is designed to actuate the feed element, and with a supporting element which is designed to support the feed element at least in the working position in the tool holder. It is proposed that the support element be arranged at least partially between the insert tool magazine and the actuating element.

The disclosure provides a hand tool that increases user comfort by, on the one hand, enabling a compact hand tool and, on the other hand, designing the hand tool in such a way that longer screwdriver bits can be held in the insert tool magazine. With the help of the longer screwdriver bits, the user can also reach hard-to-access work areas more easily.

The hand-held power tool can be designed as an electrically operated hand-held power tool. The electrically operated hand-held power tool can be designed as a mains-operated or as a cordless hand-held power tool. For example, the hand tool can be designed as a screwdriver or a drill driver.

The housing of the hand-held machine tool is designed to at least partially hold the tool holder, a drive motor, a gear unit and the insert tool magazine. The housing can be designed as a shell housing with two half shells. The housing can have two housing halves. The housing can have at least one motor holder, which is designed to at least partially hold the drive motor and to arrange the drive motor essentially inside the housing.

The drive motor can be designed as an electric motor. The drive motor can have a motor housing, wherein the motor holder of the housing can at least partially hold the motor housing. The drive motor is designed such that it can be actuated via a manual switch. When the manual switch is actuated by a user, the drive motor is switched on and the hand-held power tool is put into operation. If the manual switch is not further actuated by the user, the drive motor is switched off. The drive motor can preferably be electronically controlled and/or regulated in such a way that a reversing mode and a specification for a desired rotational speed can be implemented. In reversing mode, the drive motor can be switched between a clockwise direction of rotation and a counterclockwise direction of rotation. To switch the drive motor in reversing mode, the hand-held power tool can comprise a rotation direction switching element, in particular a rotation direction changeover switch.

The drive motor can drive at least the gear unit by means of a motor shaft. The motor shaft can have at least one motor pinion, which can be operatively connected to the gear unit. The motor pinion can be arranged essentially inside the insert tool magazine. In addition, the drive motor can drive the tool holder by means of the motor shaft via the gear unit. The hand-held power tool can have a tool axis. A rotational axis of the motor shaft can form the tool axis. The hand-held machine tool can have a further tool axis, wherein a rotation axis of the tool holder forms the further tool axis. In particular, “axial” is to be understood as essentially parallel to the tool axis and/or to the further tool axis. Whereas “radial” should be understood as essentially perpendicular to the tool axis and/or the further tool axis.

The gear unit is arranged at least in sections within the insert tool magazine. The gear unit has a gear output shaft that drives the tool holder via an intermediate gear. The gear output shaft can protrude at least in sections from the insert tool magazine. The motor shaft and the gear output shaft can be arranged coaxially to each other. The gear unit can have a gear housing. The gear unit can, for example, be designed as a planetary gear, in particular a multi-stage planetary gear.

The housing has the tool holder opening. The tool holder is arranged rotatably in the tool holder opening so that the intermediate gear can drive the tool holder rotatably. The tool holder opening can be circular, elliptical, oval or polygonal, for example. The tool holder protrudes at least partially from the tool holder opening in the housing. The tool holder can be driven by the gear unit via the intermediate gear. The tool holder can be designed as an internal tool holder, such as a bit holder. It is also conceivable that the tool holder be designed as a drill chuck. The tool holder can hold insert tools, such as screw bits, so that the user can produce screw connections from a fastening element to a fastening carrier.

The insert tool magazine is designed to store a plurality of the selectable insert tools. The insert tool magazine can hold screwdriver bits up to an axial length of 50 mm. The insert tools can have a circumferential groove. The insert tool magazine can be designed as a drum magazine that has a plurality of insert tool chambers. The insert tool magazine can be rotated in relation to the housing. The insert tool magazine is arranged at least partially inside the housing. The housing can at least partially enclose the insert tool magazine. The insert tool chambers are designed in such a way that one of the insert tools can be held in one of the insert tool chambers. In each case, one of the insert tool chambers at least partially encloses the respective insert tool at least in the circumferential direction of the respective insert tool. The insert tool chambers can each be designed in the form of a hollow cylinder. The insert tool magazine is arranged around the gear housing in a circumferential direction.

The hand-held machine tool has the feed element. The feed element can be arranged at least partially within the housing, wherein the housing can at least partially enclose the feed element. For example, the feed element can be designed in the form of a slide. The feed element can have at least one connecting element for at least one of the insert tools, which is designed to establish a connection with at least one of the insert tools. The connecting element can, for example, be designed as a magnet that can be connected to at least one of the insert set tools. The feed element is designed to move at least one of the insert tools from the park position out of one of the insert tool chambers into the working position in the tool holder. In the park position, the insert tools are each arranged in one of the insert tool chambers of the insert tool magazine. The insert tool magazine can be rotated in the park position. In the park position, the feed element can be arranged radially between the actuating element and the drive motor. The feed element can be moved axially from the parked position along one of the tool axes in the direction of the tool holder. In the working position, at least one of the insert tools is arranged in the tool holder. At least one of the insert tools was moved axially out of one of the insert tool chambers in the direction of the tool holder and arranged in the tool holder. Once the insert tool is positioned in the tool holder by means of the feed element, the user can use the insert tool to tighten or loosen a fastening element. In the working position, the feed element can be arranged at least partially radially to one of the tool axes between a gear neck of the gear unit and the actuating element. The feed element is designed in such a way that the feed element engages at least partially around the support element.

The hand-held machine tool has the actuating element, which is designed to actuate the feed element. The actuating element is coupled to the feed element so that actuating the actuating element actuates the feed element. The actuating element can be operated by the user from outside the housing. When the user actuates the actuating element, both the actuating element and the feed element can be moved, in particular displaced, from the park position to the working position and vice versa. The housing can be arranged at least in sections and at least partially, in particular radially to the tool axis, between the actuating element and the feed element. The actuating element can be designed as an actuating slide, for example.

The hand-held machine tool has the support element. The support element is designed to support the feed element in the tool holder, at least in the working position. As an example, the support element is designed as a type of support lever. When the feed element is in the working position, the support element moves behind the feed element, in particular axially, and supports it axially so that the insert tool is blocked in the tool holder, so that the insert tool can still be used in the event of axial forces on the insert tool and undesired displacement of the insert tool and/or the feed element is prevented. In the park position, the support element releases the feed element so that the feed element can be moved. The feed element can then be moved from the working position to the park position.

The support element is arranged at least partially, in particular radially to the tool axis, between the insert tool magazine and the actuating element. The support element can be arranged along the axis of rotation of the tool holder, i.e. along the further tool axis. The support element can be arranged at least in sections, in particular radially, between the insert tool magazine and the actuating element. In addition, the support element can be arranged at least in sections, in particular radially, between the gear unit and the actuating element. The support element can be pivoted tangentially to the circumferential direction of the tool axis and/or the other tool axis. The support element can also be designed to swivel tangentially to the insert tool magazine.

The hand-held machine tool can have a control unit at least for controlling the drive motor. The control unit can be arranged in the housing. The hand-held power tool further comprises a power supply, wherein the power supply is provided for cordless operation by means of rechargeable batteries, in particular hand-held power tool rechargeable battery packs, and/or for mains operation. In a preferred embodiment, the power supply is designed for cordless operation. In the context of the present disclosure, a “hand-held power tool rechargeable battery pack” is intended to be understood as a combination of at least one rechargeable battery cell and a rechargeable battery pack housing. The hand-held power tool rechargeable battery pack is advantageously designed for supplying power to commonly available cordless hand-held power tools. The at least one rechargeable battery cell can, for instance, be designed as a Li-ion rechargeable battery cell having a nominal voltage of 3.6 V. The hand-held power tool rechargeable battery pack can comprise up to ten rechargeable battery cells, for example, wherein a different number of rechargeable battery cells also is conceivable. Both an embodiment as a cordless hand-held power tool and operation as a mains-operated hand-held power tool are sufficiently well-known to those skilled in the art, so the specifics of the power supply will not be discussed here.

In one embodiment of the hand-held machine tool, the insert tool magazine is arranged at least partially, in particular radially, between the gear unit and the support element. The insert tool magazine can be arranged radially to the drive motor and/or the gear unit essentially inside the housing. The insert tool magazine can be arranged at least in sections, in particular radially, between the gear unit and the support element. The support element can at least partially cover the insert tool magazine and the gear unit.

In one embodiment of the hand tool machine, the insert tool chambers each have at least one, in particular axial, groove through which the feed element can be guided, in particular axially, from the parking position into the working position. The grooves of the insert tool chambers can be formed axially to the tool axis, the further tool axis, the gear unit and/or the drive motor on the insert tool magazine. Each of the insert tool chambers has one of the grooves. The grooves of the insert tool chambers can be formed on the insert tool magazine in the circumferential direction. An insert tool magazine housing forms the respective groove. The grooves of the insert tool chambers can be formed in the radial direction between the gear unit and the axial groove. The grooves of the insert tool chambers can have a comparable, in particular essentially the same, axial length as the insert tool magazine. The groove of the insert tool chambers is designed in such a way that the feed element can be guided through the respective insert tool chamber to enable the feed element to be moved from the park position to the working position and vice versa. The feed element and/or the respective groove of the insert tool chambers can be designed in such a way that the feed element can at least partially plunge into the respective groove and the respective insert tool chamber during movement from the park position to the working position. If the feed element is moved further in the direction of the working position, the feed element can be moved over the respective groove and the respective insert tool chamber until the feed element is in the park position.

In one embodiment of the hand tool machine, the feed element has at least one blocking rib which, in the working position, engages in at least one of the grooves, in particular axial grooves, of the insert tool chambers. The blocking rib can be formed on the feed element in the direction of the drive motor. The blocking rib can be connected to the feed element in a form-fit, force-fit and/or material-fit manner. It is also possible for the feed element to form the blocking rib so that they are in one piece. The blocking rib can be arranged opposite the connecting element of the feed element for the insert tool. The blocking rib can engage in the respective groove in such a way that in the working position the insert tool magazine, in particular the respective insert tool chamber, is blocked against rotation of the insert tool magazine. This ensures that once the feed element is in the working position, the insert tool magazine cannot be rotated to select a different insert tool.

In one embodiment of the hand-held power tool, the actuating element has at least one adjusting element which is designed to adjust the support element during a movement from the working position. The adjusting element can, for example, be hook-like, pin-like, projection-like or bar-like. The adjusting element can be connected to the actuating element in a form-fit, force-fit and/or material-fit manner. It is also possible for the adjusting element and the actuating element to be in one piece. When the actuating element is moved from the working position to the parking position, in particular when it is displaced, the adjusting element first comes into contact with the support element. If the actuating element is moved further in the direction of the parking position, the adjusting element moves, in particular presses, the support element in the direction of the housing. The support element is pivoted transversely to the tool axis and/or the other tool axis. It is possible for the adjusting element to swivel the support element radially in the direction away from the other tool axis. This causes the support element to release the feed element. The feed element can then be moved, in particular displaced, in the direction of the parking position. The support element has a contact surface against which the adjusting element can rest when the feed element is moved from the working position to the park position. The contact surface can, for example, be ramp-like, projection-like or web-like.

In one embodiment of the hand-held power tool, the actuating element is coupled to the feed element in such a way that the actuating element is at least partially movable relative to the feed element. The actuating element and the feed element can be movably coupled together. When the actuating element is displaced from the working position towards the parking position, the actuating element can move at least partially transversely to the further tool axis in order to adjust the support element. The actuating element has a connecting element for the feed element. The feed element has a holder for the connecting element of the actuating element. The holder for the connecting element of the feed element holds the connecting element in such a way that the actuating element can be displaced transversely to the further tool axis. The holder for the connecting element can be C-shaped, U-shaped or L-shaped, for example. The connecting element of the actuating element can, for example, be step-like, web-like, edge-like or projection-like.

In one embodiment of the hand-held machine tool, the feed element has at least one contact web which is designed in such a way that the support element blocks the contact web in the working position. The contact web can be formed radially of the tool axis and/or the further tool axis on the feed element. It is conceivable that the feed element and the contact web be connected to each other in a form-fit, force-fit and/or material-fit manner, wherein it is also possible that they are in one piece. The contact web can be arranged, in particular radially, at least in sections between the holder of the feed element for the actuating element and the connecting element of the feed element for the insert tool. In the working position, the support element is located behind the contact web, in particular axially, and thus blocks the contact web against axial forces on the insert tool in the working position. The axial forces are transferred into the housing by the insert tool in the working position. The holder of the feed element for the actuating element can at least partially hold the actuating element with a positive fit. The holder of the feed element couples the actuating element to the feed element in a movable manner so that the actuating element can be displaced relative to the feed element. The feed element has the blocking rib on one side and the connecting element for the insert tool, in particular the magnet, on the other side in order to couple with the respective insert tool.

In one embodiment of the hand tool machine, the contact web is designed in such a way that the contact web can be guided through one of the grooves of the insert tool chambers from the park position into the working position. The contact web is designed in such a way that the contact web can be guided at least in sections through the respective groove when the feed element is moved from the park position to the working position and vice versa. The contact web prevents the insert tool magazine from being rotated when moving from the park position to the working position. The contact web is also designed to align the insert tool magazine with the respective groove of the insert tool chamber relative to the tool holder.

In one embodiment of the hand tool, the contact web is designed in such a way that the contact web acts on the support element during a movement from the park position to the working position. When the feed element is moved from the park position to the working position, the contact web acts on the support element radially in the direction away from the other tool axis.

The support element can have at least one spring element. The spring element can be arranged between the support element and the housing. The spring element is designed to act on the support element radially in the direction of the other tool axis. As soon as the feed element has passed over the support element when moving from the park position to the working position, the spring element presses the support element behind the feed element to block it. The spring element can be designed as a coil spring or a leaf spring, for example. The housing can have a holder for the spring element. The holder for the spring element is designed to hold the spring element and to position it relative to the support element. The holder for the spring element can, for example, be pin-like, bolt-like, web-like or projection-like. The support element can have a holder for the spring element. The holder for the spring element of the support element can, for example, be shell-like, cup-like, pin-like or bolt-like. The spring element can be arranged between the holder of the housing for the spring element and the holder of the support element for the spring element.

In one embodiment of the hand tool, the feed element has at least one alignment element which is designed to align the feed element relative to the housing from the park position to the working position. The alignment element and the holder of the feed element for the actuating element can be in one piece. The alignment element can at least partially rest against the housing. The alignment element can be designed as a plate or a disk, for example. The housing can be arranged at least partially and at least in sections radially to the tool axis and/or to the further tool axis between the feed element and the actuating element. The alignment element makes it possible to prevent the feed element from tilting during the movement, in particular the displacement, from the park position to the working position and vice versa. The contact web can be arranged, in particular radially, between the holder of the feed element for the actuating element or the alignment element and the connecting element of the feed element for the insertion tool.

The housing has a holder for the connecting element of the feed element for the insert tool. The holder for the connecting element of the feed element for the insert tool can, for example, be shell-like, cup-like or shaft-like. The holder for the connecting element of the feed element for the insertion tool is designed in such a way that the holder at least partially holds and at least supports the connecting element in the parked position. The holder for the connecting element of the feed element for the insert tool can be connected to the housing in a form-fit, force-fit and/or material-fit manner. It is possible for the housing to form the holder for the connecting element of the feed element for the insert tool so that they are in one piece. The holder for the connecting element of the feed element for the insert tool can be arranged radially to the tool axis at least partially between the drive motor and the actuating element and/or the feed element in the parking position inside the housing. It is possible for each of the housing halves to form one of the holders for the connecting element of the feed element for the insert tool.

The feed element has at least one locking element. The housing has at least one locking holder. The locking holder is designed in such a way that the locking holder locks the locking element in the park position. The locking element can be designed like a ramp, for example. The locking holder can, for example, be designed as a bar formed by the housing. When the feed element is moved from the working position to the park position, the locking element can engage behind the locking holder. This allows the locking element to lock the feed element in the park position in such a way that a resistance must first be overcome to move the feed element before the feed element can be moved further towards the working position. The locking element can be arranged axially between the blocking rib and the connecting element of the feed element for the insert tool. It is possible for the feed element to have two locking elements. It is also possible for the housing to have two locking holders.

The housing can have a holder for a free end of the support element. The free end of the support element can be arranged essentially inside the housing and opposite the tool holder. The free end of the support element can be held by the holder of the housing for the free end of the support element in such a way that the support element is designed to pivot essentially within the housing.
