The present invention relates to a hand saw machine, and more particularly to a saw machine with an environment control device which is easy to adopt that improves the quality of air sucked into the motor, thereby extending its life and improving cooling thereof.
A conventional hand saw machine is used for cutting items such as ceramic, stone, concrete, wood, and/or metal materials. The conventional hand saw machine is also used in different environment. The conventional hand saw machine includes a rotatable cutting member. When the cutting member cuts the items, as the rotation speed of the cutting member is fast, the cutting member is easy to eject residual particles from the surface of the cut items with contaminating air sucked inside the conventional hand saw machine. As a result, the residual particles may block inside of the conventional hand saw machine and reduce the life span of the conventional hand saw machine.
Another disadvantage of the conventional hand saw machine has a poor cooling effectiveness. The conventional hand saw machine includes a motor driving the cutting member to rotate. During the cutting process of the cutting member, the motor generates a large quantity of heat which is concentrate around the motor, thereby reducing cooling effectiveness and damaging the motor, even the whole conventional hand saw machine has a reduced life span.
A current improved conventional hand saw machine provides a ventilation opening in order to improve the cooling effectiveness. In addition, in order to obtain a better cooling effectiveness, the area ventilation opening is enlarged. Although the cooling effectiveness current improved conventional hand saw machine is enhanced to some extent, however, the ventilation opening for dissipation increases exposure of particle to the motor, causing more residual particles being ejecting into the current improved conventional hand saw machine, thereby reducing the life span of the motor and may reducing the cooling effectiveness in return.
The invention is advantageous in that it provides a hand saw machine with environment control device, which improves the quality of air sucked into the motor and the environment control device is easy to adapt, thereby extending the life of the saw machine and improving cooling thereof.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a hand saw machine with environment control device, which is able to prolong the service life span of the hand saw machine.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a hand saw machine with environment control device, which provides an air passage within the environment control device and the motor assembly and promotes heat dissipation, thereby prolonging the service life span of the hand saw machine.

Referring to
The hand saw machine with environmental control arrangement 40 is adapted for sawing a variety of work piece. The real lifting handle 10 and the front lifting handle 11 are arranged on real and front of the hand saw machine with environmental control arrangement. In this preferred embodiment, the real lifting handle 10 is connected with the environment control device 40 and the motor assembly 20. The front lifting handle 11 is coupled with the motor assembly 20. According to different directions of force application and different shapes of the work piece, the user holds the real lifting handle 10 or the front lifting handle 11 of the hand saw machine with environmental control arrangement to obtain adaptable and effective operation effects. In other embodiment of the present invention, the real lifting handle 10 and the front lifting handle 11 are able to be implemented with adjustable directions. For example, in other embodiment, the front lifting handle 11 further comprises a main handle portion, a ratable portion connected with the main handle portion, so that the handling direction of the front lifting handle 11 is adjustable, thereby the cutting position of the hand saw machine is adjustable. One skilled in the art will understand that the hand saw machine with environmental control arrangement are able to be assembled with one, two or more lifting handles and the described above is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting. Accordingly, the handles of the hand saw machine of the present invention enable the hand saw machine to be lifted by hand into the desired cutting position so that the exposed cutting tool cuts the work piece.
Specifically, the motor assembly 20 comprises a driving motor 21, a driving shaft 211 being driven to be rotated by the driving motor 21 and a motor case 22 receiving the driving motor 21.
In a further, the cutting tool 31 of the hand saw machine with environment control device is coaxially mounted to the driving shaft 211 and is driven to be rotated with the driving shaft 211. In other words, the driving shaft 211 is driven to be rotated by the drive motor 21 and the cutting tool 31 is coaxially connected to the driving shaft 211, so that the cutting tool 31 is driven to be rotated by the drive motor 21.
More specifically, the drive motor 21 is axial positioned to be perpendicular to the drive shaft 211 and the cutting tool 31 has a cutting area 311 defined at an outer circumferential portion thereof when the cutting tool 31 cuts the work piece.
The environment control device 40 of the hand saw machine further comprises an air intake hood 41 that shelters the motor assembly 20 from residual particles ejected by the work piece during cutting. The hand saw machine with the environment control device 40 further has an air passage formed between the circumferential wall of the motor case 22 and the circumferential wall of the air intake hood 41.
The air intake hood 41 comprises an air intake hood body 412 and has an air intake hood window 411 defined by the air intake hood body 412. The motor case inlet 221 of the motor case 22 is communicated with and the air intake hood window 411. In addition, the driving motor 21 is positioned closely to the motor case inlet 221 of the motor case 22.

More specifically, as shown in
More specifically, when the cutting tool 31 cuts the work piece and the cooling fan 23 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 21, the air outside of the hand saw machine is sucked through the air intake hood window 411, the motor case inlet 221, the motor cavity 223 and the motor fan 23 in sequence, and is finally discharged from the motor case outlet 222, thereby forming the air passage of the hand saw machine. In other words, the air passage of the hand saw machine is formed between the circumferential wall of the motor case 22 and the circumferential wall of the air intake hood 41. Although the motor case inlet 221 is positioned closely to the cutting tool 31 and even through residual particles of the work piece are sucked into the motor case inlet 221 when the cutting tool 31 cuts the work piece, the entered residual particles is rapidly discharged outside through the air passage, thereby decreasing exposure of residual particle to the drive motor 21, so as to avoid damage to the motor assembly 20 and to improve cooling effectiveness.
In addition, the air intake hood window 411 is formed on one side portion of the air intake hood body 412 and further reduce the amounts of residual particles entering into the air passage.
Accordingly, the motor assembly 20 and the environmental control arrangement 40 of the hand saw machine provide the air passage and promote air circulation of the hand saw machine, so that not only the cooling effective is improved, but also the residual particles entered into the air passage is more quickly discharged outside, thereby prolonging the life span of the hand saw machine.
