Abstract

A power tool includes a casing having a motor receiving portion and a holding portion, a motor disposed in the motor receiving portion, a transmission disposed in the motor receiving portion, and a fan module disposed in the motor receiving portion. The holding portion is adapted to be held by a user. The motor has a rotatable shaft, a front side, and a back side opposite to the front side. The transmission is located on the front side of the motor and is connected to the rotatable shaft, and has an output shaft for being connected to a tool bit. The fan module has a driving motor and a fan blade. The driving motor is adapted to drive the fan blade to rotate. With such design, the fan module could cool the motor to remove the heat generated by the motor.

Claims

1. A power tool, comprising:

a casing having a motor receiving portion and a holding portion, wherein the holding portion is adapted to be held by a user;

a motor disposed in the motor receiving portion, wherein the motor has a rotatable shaft, a front side, and a back side;

the front side is opposite to the back side;

a fan blade is disposed on the back side of the motor and is connected to the rotatable shaft to be driven by the rotatable shaft to rotate synchronously;

a transmission which is disposed in the motor receiving portion, and is located on the front side of the motor, and is connected to the rotatable shaft, and has an output shaft, wherein the output shaft is adapted to be connected to a tool bit; and

a fan module disposed in the motor receiving portion, wherein the fan module has a driving motor and a fan blade;

the driving motor is adapted to drive the fan blade of the fan module to rotate;

wherein the motor has a lateral side located between the front side and the back side;

the fan module is located on the lateral side of the motor and is located on an extension line of a radial direction of the rotatable shaft.

2. The power tool of claim 1, wherein the fan module is located between the motor and the holding portion.

3. The power tool of claim 1, wherein the motor is located between the holding portion and the fan module.

4. The power tool of claim 1, wherein the fan module is disposed upright in the motor receiving portion.

5. The power tool of claim 1, wherein the transmission is a hydraulic pulse generator;

the hydraulic pulse generator has a hydraulic cylinder connected to the output shaft.

6. The power tool of claim 1, further comprises a trigger switch and a control unit, wherein the trigger switch is adapted to be operated by the user to control the rotatable shaft of the motor to rotate;

the control unit is connected to the trigger switch and the fan module;

when the trigger switch is controlled to drive the rotatable shaft to rotate, the control unit controls the fan module to rotate, while when the trigger switch stops driving the rotatable shaft to rotate, the control unit continuously controls the fan module to operate for a predetermined time.

7. The power tool of claim 1, further comprises a control unit and a detecting unit, wherein the control unit is connected to the detecting unit and the fan module and is adapted to control the fan module to operate;

the detecting unit is adapted to detect a temperature of the motor;

when the temperature of the motor is detected to be lower than a predetermined temperature, the control unit controls the fan module to stop operating.
