A depth adjusting mechanism is disposed in the portable cutting tool 30 to adjust a cutting depth. The depth adjusting mechanism can make the housing 32 and the cutting unit 34 pivot around a first axis 76 together and locked by a locking device 78 mounted on the housing 32. The first axis 76 is disposed parallel to the axis F of the blade shaft 46.
The portable cutting tool 30 includes a supporting member 80 connected to the base 36. The supporting member 80 includes a supporting bottom portion 82. Supporting member front, rear, and right side walls 84a-c extend upward from the supporting bottom portion 82, and no side wall is provided on the left side of the supporting bottom portion 82, so that the blade 48 can pass through the supporting member 80 conveniently.
The supporting member front side wall 84a is provided with symmetric mounting holes 86, and the front portion 40 is provided with a through-hole 88. A pin (not shown in the figure) passes through the mounting holes 86 and the through-hole 88, so that the housing 32 and the cutting unit 34 together rotate around the first axis 76 defined by the pin. Certainly, the supporting member 80 and the front portion 40 may also be mounted by using a bolt, a screw, a rivet, or other structures commonly known by persons skilled in the art.
The supporting member 80 includes a depth adjusting holder 90, where the depth adjusting holder 90 extends upward from one side of the supporting member right side wall 84c. The depth adjusting holder 90 is provided with a first guide slot 92. The first guide slot 92 is an arc-shaped guide slot, and the center of a circle corresponding to the arc where the first guide slot 92 is located is on the first axis 76.
The locking device 78 includes a handle 94, a bolt 95 connected on the handle 94, and a threaded hole 97 provided in the front portion 40. The bolt 95 passes through the first guide slot 94 and fits with the threaded hole 97. By rotating the handle 94, the bolt 95 is locked in the threaded hole 97, thereby locking the housing 32 and the cutting unit 34 relative to the supporting member.
In this embodiment, the upper guard 50 and the first guide slot 92 are respectively disposed on two sides of the front portion 40. In this manner, an operator can use the handle 94 conveniently, and moreover, the length of the bolt can be reduced, thereby enhancing the operability.
To facilitate observation of the cutting depth, the depth adjusting holder 90 is provided with a scale (not shown in the figure), which indicates the cutting depth, at a position close to the first guide slot 92, and an indicator 99 is disposed on the bolt 95. Once the bolt 95 is loosened, an operator moves the cutting unit 34 so that the bolt 95 slides in the first guide slot 92. The housing 32 and the cutting unit 34 together move around the first axis 76 relative to the base 36 and the supporting member 80 to change the cutting depth of the blade 48. At this time, a cutting angle can be observed by using the indicator 99 and the scale that is provided on the depth adjusting holder 90. Once the cutting unit 34 reaches a desired position, the handle 94 may be rotated so as to tightly fasten the cutting unit 34 at the desired position.

With a greater distance between the second axis 98 and the depth adjusting holder 90, when the handle 94 is unloosed to perform depth adjustment or angle adjustment, seizing is avoided, and the cutting unit 34 does not shake and is relatively stable. Therefore, in this embodiment, the depth adjusting holder 90 and the second axis 98 are respectively disposed on two sides of the front portion 40, which increases the distance between the depth adjusting holder 90 and the second axis 98. Certainly, the effect of stabilization can also be achieved when the distance between the depth adjusting holder 90 and the second axis 98 is greater than half of the width of the base 36 (it is defined that the width of the base 36 is along the first axis 76).
The supporting member 80 includes an angle adjusting holder 102, where the angle adjusting holder 102 extends upward from the side of the supporting member front side wall 84a. The angle adjusting holder 102 is provided with a second guide slot 104. The second guide slot 104 is an arc-shaped guide slot, and the center of a circle corresponding to the arc where the second guide slot 104 is located is on the second axis 98.
The locking device 100 includes a knob 106, a nut 108 connected to the knob 106, and a bolt 110 that fits with the nut 108. The bolt 110 passes through the through-hole in the base front side wall 68a and the second guide slot 104, to engage with the nut 110. The knob 106 is screwed tightly to lock the housing 32 and the cutting unit 34 relative to the base 36.
The supporting member front side wall 84a and rear side wall 84b are provided with symmetric connecting holes 111; the base front side wall 68a and rear side wall 68b are separately provided with a through-hole 112 (only the through-hole in the base rear side wall 68b is shown in the figure). Two pins (not shown in the figure) each pass through the connecting hole 111 and the through-hole 112 that are close to each other, to make the supporting member 80, the housing 32, and the cutting unit 34 together pivot around the second axis 98 defined by the pin. Certainly, the supporting member 80 and the base 36 may also be mounted by using a bolt, a screw, a rivet or other structures commonly known by persons skilled in the art.
To facilitate observation of the cutting angle, the angle adjusting holder 102 is provided with a scale (not shown in the figure), which indicates the cutting angle, at a position close to the second guide slot 104, and a pointer is disposed on the base front side wall 68a. Once the knob 106 is loosened, the bolt 110 slides in the second guide slot 104 so that the housing 32, the cutting unit 34 and the supporting member 80 can move around the second axis 98 relative to the base 36 to change the cutting angle of the blade 48. At this time, the cutting angle of the portable cutting tool 30 can be observed by using the pointer disposed on the base front side wall 68a. Once the cutting unit 34 reaches a desired position, the knob 106 may be screwed tightly so as to tightly fasten the cutting unit 34 at the desired position.
It can be learned from the above description that, the supporting member 80 includes the depth adjusting holder 90 and the angle adjusting holder 102; in other words, both the first guide slot 92 used for depth adjustment and the second guide slot 104 used for angle adjustment are provided on the supporting member 80. In this manner, cutting costs can be reduced; moreover, the rigidity of the supporting member 80 can be enhanced, and the cutting precision of the portable cutting tool 30 can be improved.
As shown in
The portable cutting tool 30 has a translational cutting mode and an insertion-type cutting mode. During insertion-type cutting, the motor is started. As shown in
Further referring to
The friction pad 72 includes a curved surface 116 in contact with the surface of the workpiece 200. The curved surface 116 may be an arc surface or at least a part of the curved surface 116 is an arc surface. The curved surface 116 facilitates the rotation of the portable cutting tool 30 and makes the rotation stable, and can better protect the surface of the workpiece 200 during rotation of the portable cutting tool 30.
A gap is reserved between the friction pad 72 and the bottom surface 67 of the base bottom portion 66, and certainly, a smaller gap makes the rotation of the portable cutting tool 30 easier. That a gap is reserved between the friction pad 72 and the bottom surface 67 means that: when the bottom surface 67 is adhered to the surface of the workpiece 200, a given gap L exists between the lowermost end of the friction pad 72 and the surface of the workpiece 200, and in this manner, when the portable cutting tool 30 is pushed to move along the surface of the workpiece 200, the friction pad 72 is not in contact with the surface of the workpiece 200 and therefore does not affect the pushing on the portable cutting tool 30.
Certainly, the manner of disposing the friction pad 72 on the base 36 so that an operator can perform insertion-type cutting conveniently is not limited to being applied to the portable cutting tool listed in this embodiment; this manner is also applicable to the conventional circular electric saw, and can also achieve the effect of insertion-type cutting.
During translational cutting, as shown in
As shown in
The difference lies in the angle adjusting structure used for changing a cutting angle. In this embodiment, the supporting member 220 is provided with a connecting hole 230, that is, a position of a second axis 232 is defined on the supporting member 220. An angle adjusting holder 234 is disposed on a base 236. The angle adjusting holder 234 is provided with a second guide slot 238. The second guide slot 238 is an arc-shaped guide slot, and the center of a circle corresponding to the arc where the second guide slot 238 is located is on the second axis 232.
In this manner, the cutting unit 34 pivots around the second axis 232, to implement adjustment of the cutting angle, and the cutting unit 34 is fixed by a locking device 240.
Certainly, when the mounting holes 224 that determine the first axis 226, the depth adjusting holder 222, and the connecting hole 230 that determines the second axis 232 are all provided on the supporting member 220, the cutting costs can also be reduced; moreover, the effect of enhancing the rigidity of the supporting member 220 and improving the cutting precision of the portable cutting tool can also be achieved.
By disposing the depth adjusting holder 222 and the second axis 232 separately on two sides of the front portion 40, the following effects can also be achieved: during depth adjustment or angle adjustment, seizing is avoided, and the cutting unit 34 does not shake and is relatively stable.
As shown in
An angle adjusting holder 252 is fixedly disposed on the base 244, and mounting holes 254 are provided on the base 244. In this manner, the cutting unit 34 pivots around a second axis 256, to implement adjustment of the cutting angle, and the cutting unit 34 is fixed by a locking device 258.
The depth adjusting holder 244 and the second axis 256 are respectively disposed on two sides of the front portion 40; in this manner, the following effects can also be achieved: during depth adjustment or angle adjustment, seizing is avoided, and the cutting unit 34 does not shake and is relatively stable.
The present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments, and all other modifications that are made by persons skilled in the art under the teaching of the technical essence of the present invention and implement same or similar functions as the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
