  • Patent number: 11052530
    Abstract: Provided is an electric work machine that can suppress a temperature increase of a component controlling an electric motor. The electric work machine including a brushless motor that operates a tip tool includes a rectification circuit that converts a voltage to be applied to the brushless motor from an alternating current voltage to a direct current voltage, and a switching circuit that controls the brushless motor, and the rectification circuit is arranged upstream of the switching circuit in a circulation path of the air that cools the rectification circuit and the switching circuit.

  • Patent number: 10618157
    Abstract: An electric power tool has a brushless motor for driving a tip tool, and a motor case is at least partly covered by a motor housing made of aluminum alloy and exposed to an outside. A control board provided with a control circuit for controlling the rotation of the brushless motor is disposed adjacent to the motor housing. The brushless motor and a control board are cooled by cooling air generated by a fun, thereby enhancing the cooling characteristics of the motor control circuit.

  • Publication number: 20180015603
    Abstract: An impact tool in which stop control of a motor as power source of a tool bit is changed in accordance with a predetermined condition is provided. A hammer drill having two or more operating modes including a hammer mode in which an impact force is transmitted to a tool bit whereas a rotational force s not transmitted thereto and a hammer drill mode in which at least the rotational force is transmitted to the tool bit includes a motor as a power source and a control part that performs stop control to stop the motor, and the control part performs any one of two or more of the stop controls in accordance with a predetermined condition.

  • Patent number: 8261854
    Abstract: A reciprocating tool (1) includes a housing (20, 30), a driving source (21), a reciprocation conversion unit (34, 36), —and a vibration reduction mechanism (30). The driving source is accommodated in the” housing. The reciprocation conversion unit (34, 36) is supported by the housing and is configured to convert a driving force of the driving source into a reciprocating motion for providing a tool bit (16) movably supported to the housing with a reciprocating motion. The vibration reduction mechanism (70) includes a shaft (72), a weight (71), a support member (73), and a urging portion (74). The shaft i(72)s supported by the housing and extending in a direction perpendicular to directions of the reciprocating motion of the tool bit (41) t and has an axis. The weight (71) is located away from the shaft (72) and is swingable in a swinging direction. The support member (73) swingably supports the weight (71) about the axis of the shaft (72).
