Title:
POWER TOOL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/165112
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A power tool (1) has a continuously variable transmission (7). The continuously variable transmission (7) has a sun roller (21), a plurality of planetary rollers (20), a speed change ring (26), and a thrust-generating section (25). The sun roller (21) is rotated by a drive motor (6). The plurality of planetary rollers (20) are supported by the circumference of a holder (24) and are cone shaped. Conical surfaces (20a) of the plurality of planetary rollers (20) are in contact with the inside of the speed change ring (26). The thrust-generating section (25) generates thrust that press-contacts the plurality of planetary rollers (20) to the sun roller (21) and the speed change ring (26) and transmits rotational output to a spindle (9). The continuously variable transmission (7) has a configuration whereby: the speed change ring (26) is moved in the axial direction; the press-contact position of the speed change ring (26) relative to the planetary rollers (20) is displaced between a small diameter region and a large diameter region of the conical surfaces (20a); the rotational output of the drive motor (6) is changed continuously and output to the spindle (9) via the thrust-generating section (25). The thrust-generating section (25) comprises a configuration that achieves an alignment function by displacing in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the speed change ring (26).
