The main body motor 20 has a drive shaft 21 whose axial direction is the front-to-rear direction. A front end portion of the drive shaft 21 is rotatably supported by a front bearing 18 fixed to the main body housing 13, and a rear end portion of the drive shaft 21 is rotatably supported by a rear bearing 19 fixed to the main body housing 13. A pinion gear 21A is formed on the front end of the drive shaft 21.

A main body fan 23 is provided at the front end of the drive shaft 21 as a main body blower unit so as to rotate integrally with the drive shaft 21. The main body fan 23 is generally formed in a disk shape with the thickness direction being in the front-rear direction, and is configured as a centrifugal fan. The main body fan 23 is disposed on the rear side of the main body intake port 13A of the main body housing 13, and the main body exhaust port 13B of the main body housing 13 is disposed radially outside the main body fan 23. When the main body fan 23 rotates together with the drive shaft 21, air on the front side of the main body fan 23 flows into the main body fan 23 from the center of the front part of the main body fan 23, and the flowed-in air flows radially outside the main body fan 23. As a result, in the second working form, an air flow AR1 (see FIG. 3) is generated that flows from the main body intake port 13A into the main body housing 13, and the air flow AR1 flows radially outside the main body fan 23 and is exhausted from the main body exhaust port 13B.

(Regarding the driving mechanism 30)
The drive mechanism 30 is configured as a mechanism that transmits the rotational force of the main body motor 20 to the tool tip T to drive the tool tip T. The drive mechanism 30 is accommodated in the front end of the main body housing 13. More specifically, the drive mechanism 30 is disposed forward of the main body intake port 13A.

The intermediate shaft 31 is formed in a generally cylindrical shape with its axial direction in the front-rear direction, and is rotatably supported by a bearing (not shown) fixed to the main housing 13. A gear (not shown) is provided at the rear end of the intermediate shaft 31 so as to be able to rotate together with it, and the gear is meshed with the pinion gear 21A of the drive shaft 21. As a result, when the main motor 20 is driven and the drive shaft 21 rotates, the intermediate shaft 31 rotates around its own axis. The intermediate shaft 31 is provided with a motion conversion member (not shown), which is configured to convert the rotational motion of the intermediate shaft 31 into reciprocating motion in the front-rear direction and transmit it to the transmission unit 32 described below.

The transmission unit 32 extends in the front-rear direction above the intermediate shaft 31. The tool tip T is attached to the front end of the transmission unit 32. The tool tip T is formed in a generally cylindrical shape with the axial direction being the front-rear direction, and the rear end of the tool tip T is attached to the transmission unit 32. The transmission unit 32 is also connected to the intermediate shaft 31. As a result, the rotational force of the main body motor 20 is transmitted to the tool tip T, causing the tool tip T to rotate around its own axis and perform drilling on the workpiece.

(Regarding the battery pack 34)
2 and 3, the battery pack 34 is formed into a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. The battery pack 34 is attached to the battery attachment section 14B of the handle housing 14 from the rear side.

The battery pack 34 also has a pair of locking members 34A, which are provided on the left and right sides of the battery pack 34. The locking members 34A engage with the handle housing 14 to restrict the movement of the battery pack 34 toward the rear side.

(Regarding the dust collecting device 40)
1, the dust collecting device 40 includes a dust collecting device main body 45 and an adapter 41 for attaching the dust collecting device main body 45 to the hammer drill main body 11. The dust collecting device main body 45 is configured so that a connection hose 95 of a dust collector 90, which will be described later, can be attached thereto.

(Regarding the adapter 41)
2 to 4, the adapter 41 is detachably attached to the main body housing 13 of the hammer drill main body 11 and is configured as a connecting member for connecting a dust collection device main body 45 (described later) to the hammer drill main body 11. The adapter 41 includes an adapter main body 42 and a pair of left and right adapter locking members 43 (see FIG. 2).

The adapter body 42 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with the thickness direction being the vertical direction and the longitudinal direction being the front-rear direction. The underside of the adapter body 42 is formed with a mounting recess 42A (see FIG. 4) for mounting the dust collector body 45 described later, and the mounting recess 42A is formed in a concave shape that is open to the lower side and the front side. The adapter body 42 has a main body outlet part 42B (see FIG. 3) as a first discharge part in the middle part in the front-rear direction.

The upper end of the mounting portion 46 is attached from the front side into the mounting recess 42A of the adapter body 42, and the dust collector body 45 is connected to the adapter 41. A locking member 48 (see FIG. 3) is provided on the rear side of the mounting portion 46 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. By sliding the locking member 48, the locking member 48 and the adapter 41 engage with each other in the front-rear direction, preventing the dust collector body 45 from being removed from the adapter 41.

As shown in FIG. 3, a communication portion 46A is formed penetrating the mounting portion 46 in the vertical direction to communicate between a filter chamber 71 (described later) and the main body outlet portion 42B. The communication portion 46A is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the vertical direction, and the area of the communication portion 46A is set to become smaller toward the upper side. The shape of the upper opening of the communication portion 46A is substantially the same as the shape of the inside of the main body outlet portion 42B, and the communication portion 46A is disposed adjacent to the lower side of the main body outlet portion 42B.

The mounting portion 46 has an inlet portion 47 formed integrally therewith in front of the communication portion 46A. The inlet portion 47 is formed in a generally cylindrical shape with the axial direction being the front-to-rear direction. The rear end of the inlet portion 47 has an inlet outlet portion 47A that protrudes downward. The inlet outlet portion 47A is formed in a generally rectangular cylindrical shape, and the interior of the inlet portion 47 is in communication with the interior of the inlet outlet portion 47A.

(Regarding the dust collection housing 50)
As shown in Figs. 2 to 4, the dust-collecting housing 50 constitutes the outer shell of the upper part of the dust-collecting device main body 45. The dust-collecting housing 50 is formed in a substantially box-like shape that is open downward. The dust-collecting housing 50 is composed of a housing member divided into two parts in the left-right direction, and the divided housing members are assembled to form the dust-collecting housing 50. Specifically, the housing member is fastened and fixed to the mounting part 46 so as to cover the mounting part 46. The locking member 48 described above is supported slidably on the dust-collecting housing 50. A step 50C (see Figs. 2 and 4) that is one step lower is formed at the upper rear end of the dust-collecting housing 50, and the adapter 41 is disposed within the step 50C.

At the front of the dust collection housing 50, a cylindrical support tube portion 50A with its axial direction extending in the front-to-rear direction is formed. The inlet portion 47 is housed inside the support tube portion 50A, and the front end portion of the support tube portion 50A is disposed forward of the main body housing 13 of the hammer drill main body 11. At the lower end portion of the support tube portion 50A, a connecting portion 50B (see FIG. 3) is formed for connecting the divided housing members, and the connecting portion 50B is formed in a generally cylindrical shape with its axial direction extending in the left-to-right direction.

(Regarding the air inlet section 52)
2 and 3, the air inlet section 52 constitutes an upper part on the front side of the dust collection device main body 45. The air inlet section 52 is configured as a mechanical section that takes in air around the front end of the tool bit T and discharges the air to a dust collection section 56 (described later). The air inlet section 52 is configured to include a slide arm 53, a suction section 54, and an intake pipe 55.

The slide arm 53 is formed in a cylindrical shape with its axial direction extending in the front-rear direction. The slide arm 53 is connected to the support cylinder portion 50A of the dust collection housing 50 so as to be able to slide in the front-rear direction, and the front end portion of the slide arm 53 protrudes forward beyond the support cylinder portion 50A.

The suction section 54 is formed in a cylindrical shape with the vertical direction as the axial direction. A connecting tube section 54A is integrally formed at the lower end of the suction section 54 and is bent rearward. The connecting tube section 54A is disposed within the front end section of the slide arm 53 and is connected to the slide arm 53.

The upper opening of the suction section 54 is configured as a suction port 54B. A tool insertion section 54C is formed at the upper end of the suction section 54. The tool insertion section 54C is formed in a generally cylindrical shape with the axial direction being the front-to-rear direction, and the suction port 54B opens radially inward of the tool insertion section 54C. When the dust collection device body 45 is attached to the hammer drill body 11, the tip of the tip tool T is inserted inside the tool insertion section 54C. This allows the suction port 54B to draw air around the tip tool T into the suction section 54.

The intake pipe 55 is formed in a generally cylindrical shape with the axial direction being the front-rear direction. The intake pipe 55 is also formed from an elastic rubber material or the like, and is configured to be able to expand and contract in the front-rear direction. The intake pipe 55 is disposed inside the slide arm 53, and the front end of the intake pipe 55 is connected to the connecting tube portion 54A of the suction portion 54, and the rear end of the intake pipe 55 is connected to the front end of the inlet portion 47. Therefore, air sucked into the suction portion 54 from the suction port 54B flows rearward through the intake pipe 55 and is configured to flow downward from the inlet outlet portion 47A of the inlet portion 47.

(Regarding the dust collecting section 56)
2 to 6, the dust collection unit 56 is formed in a substantially rectangular box shape, and is detachably attached to the dust collection housing 50 below the inlet portion 47. That is, the dust collection unit 56 is disposed rearward of the suction unit 54. In other words, the air inlet portion 52 protrudes forward beyond the dust collection unit 56.

The dust collecting section 56 has a cyclone section 60 that constitutes the front part of the dust collecting section 56, and a filter section 70 that constitutes the rear end part of the dust collecting section 56. The dust collecting section 56 also has a first case 56A that constitutes the outer shell of the cyclone section 60, and a second case 56B that constitutes the outer shell of the filter section 70, and the first case 56A and the second case 56B are assembled to each other. The first case 56A is formed in a cylindrical shape that is penetrated in the front-rear direction, and the second case 56B is formed in a substantially box shape that is open to the top. The rear opening of the first case 56A is closed by the second case 56B. As a result, the front wall of the second case 56B is configured as a partition wall 56C that partitions the cyclone section 60 and the filter section 70.

A dust collection lid 57 is provided at the front end of the first case 56A so as to be openable and closable, and the dust collection lid 57 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with the plate thickness direction being in the front-rear direction. The lower end of the dust collection lid 57 is rotatably connected to the front lower end of the first case 56A with the left-right direction as the axial direction, and the upper end of the dust collection lid 57 is engaged with the first case 56A. As a result, the front opening of the first case 56A is closed by the dust collection lid 57. In addition, a locking groove 57A (see FIG. 3) that opens to the front side is formed at the upper end of the dust collection lid 57. Then, when the dust collection unit 56 is attached to the dust collection housing 50, the connecting portion 50B of the dust collection housing 50 is disposed in the locking groove 57A, and the front end of the dust collection unit 56 is engaged with the connecting portion 50B. As a result, when the dust collection unit 56 is attached to the dust collection housing 50, the closed state of the dust collection lid 57 is maintained.

The dust collector lid 57 is also formed with a dust collector outlet section 58 as a second discharge section. That is, the dust collector outlet section 58 is disposed forward of the filter section 70 described below. The dust collector outlet section 58 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the axial middle section of the dust collector outlet section 58 is bent at a substantially right angle. Specifically, the dust collector outlet section 58 extends forward from the dust collector lid 57, and the axial middle section of the dust collector outlet section 58 is bent downward.

The tip of the dust collector outlet section 58 is provided with a discharge lid 59 as a lid. The discharge lid 59 is formed in a generally bottomed cylindrical shape that is open to the top. The discharge lid 59 is configured to be detachable from the tip of the dust collector outlet section 58, and in the second working mode of the hammer drill system S1, the discharge lid 59 is attached to the tip of the dust collector outlet section 58. On the other hand, in the first working mode of the hammer drill system S1, the discharge lid 59 is removed from the tip of the dust collector outlet section 58.

A hook arm 59A is formed at the opening of the discharge lid 59, extending upward, and is configured to be elastically deformable. A frame-shaped locking portion 59B is formed at the tip of the hook arm 59A, and the locking portion 59B is locked to a hook portion 58A formed on the outer periphery of the dust collector outlet portion 58. This prevents the discharge lid 59 from being lost when the discharge lid 59 is removed from the dust collector outlet portion 58.

(Regarding the cyclone section 60)
The outer wall of the cyclone section 60 is formed by the above-mentioned first case 56A. The cyclone section 60 has a pair of left and right cyclone outer cylinders 61, a pair of left and right cyclone inlet sections 64, and a pair of left and right exhaust inner cylinders 65.

(Regarding the cyclone outer cylinder 61)
The pair of cyclone outer cylinders 61 are disposed inside the first case 56A, and are disposed at positions symmetrical with respect to the left-right center of the dust collecting device main body 45. The cyclone outer cylinder 61 is formed in a generally cylindrical shape with the axial direction extending in the front-to-rear direction, and the central axis of the cyclone outer cylinder 61 is a cyclone axis 61C. The cyclone outer cylinder 61 is also configured to include a rear outer cylinder 62 that constitutes the rear part of the cyclone outer cylinder 61, and a front outer cylinder 63 that constitutes the front part of the cyclone outer cylinder 61.

The rear outer cylinder 62 is formed in a cylindrical shape centered on the cyclone shaft 61C and protrudes forward from the partition wall 56C. In other words, the rear outer cylinder 62 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape that is open to the front, and the rear end (one axial end) of the rear outer cylinder 62 is closed by the partition wall 56C. The inner diameter of the rear outer cylinder 62 is set constant in the front-rear direction. In other words, the inner peripheral surface of the rear outer cylinder 62 is arranged parallel to the cyclone shaft 61C.

The front outer cylinder 63 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape centered on the cyclone shaft 61C, and the side walls of the front outer cylinder 63 are inclined in a direction approaching the cyclone shaft 61C as they move forward. The front outer cylinder 63 is formed integrally with the first case 56A, and a part of the front outer cylinder 63 constitutes a part of the left and right side walls of the first case 56A. The inner diameter of the rear end of the front outer cylinder 63 is set to be larger than the inner diameter of the rear outer cylinder 62, and the front end of the rear outer cylinder 62 is disposed inside the rear end of the front outer cylinder 63. That is, in the front-rear direction, the front end of the rear outer cylinder 62 and the rear end of the front outer cylinder 63 overlap, and an opening 61A is formed in the cyclone outer cylinder 61 between the front end of the rear outer cylinder 62 and the rear end of the front outer cylinder 63. The opening 61A is open to the rear side over the entire circumferential direction of the front outer cylinder 63 and the rear outer cylinder 62. Furthermore, the rear ends of the pair of left and right front outer cylinders 63 are connected to each other at a location on the left-right center side of the dust collector body 45. The inside of the cyclone outer cylinder 61 is configured as a swirl chamber 61B, and the part of the inside of the first case 56A other than the swirl chamber 61B is configured as a dust collection chamber 60A. As a result, the dust collector outlet part 58 is connected to the dust collection chamber 60A, and the inside of the dust collector outlet part 58 and the inside of the dust collection chamber 60A are in communication.

(Regarding the cyclone inlet 64)
As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the cyclone inlet portion 64 is provided at the rear end of the pair of left and right rear outer cylinders 62. The cyclone inlet portion 64 is formed in a substantially rectangular tubular shape with the vertical direction as the axial direction, extends upward from the rear outer cylinder 62, and is disposed adjacent to the lower side of the inlet outlet portion 47A of the inlet portion 47. Specifically, the cyclone inlet portion 64 extends upward from a portion of the rear outer cylinder 62 on the inner side in the left-right direction (the center side in the left-right direction of the dust collector body 45), and the inside of the rear outer cylinder 62 and the inside of the cyclone inlet portion 64 are communicated with each other. That is, the cyclone inlet portion 64 is disposed at a position shifted toward the center side in the left-right direction of the dust collector body 45 with respect to the cyclone shaft 61C.

The inner sidewall of the cyclone inlet 64 in the left-right direction is configured as a guide wall 64A, and the inner peripheral surface of the guide wall 64A is configured as a guide surface 64B. In a front view from the front side, the guide surface 64B is inclined inward in the left-right direction as it approaches the upper side, and the lower end of the guide surface 64B is connected to the inner peripheral surface of the rear outer cylinder 62. Specifically, in a front view, the guide surface 64B extends upward from the lower end of the guide surface 64B along the tangent direction of the inner peripheral surface of the rear outer cylinder 62. Note that in the pair of left and right cyclone inlet sections 64, the upper ends of the guide walls 64A are connected to each other.

The inside of the cyclone inlet 64 is configured as a cyclone inlet hole 64C, and the air flowing into the cyclone inlet hole 64C from the inlet outlet 47A flows into the rear outer cylinder 62 along the guide surface 64B. That is, the air flowing into the rear outer cylinder 62 flows forward while swirling along the inner circumferential surface of the rear outer cylinder 62. Also, the air flowing out from the front end of the rear outer cylinder 62 to the inside of the front outer cylinder 63 flows forward while swirling along the inner circumferential surface of the front outer cylinder 63. As a result, the air and dust are separated in the swirling chamber 61B, and the dust is discharged from the front end opening of the front outer cylinder 63. The details will be described later, but in the second working mode of the hammer drill system S1, the dust discharged from the front end opening of the front outer cylinder 63 is accumulated on the lower surface of the dust collection chamber 60A. On the other hand, in the first operating mode of the hammer drill system S1, the airflow discharged from the front end opening of the front outer cylinder 63 flows out from the dust collector outlet portion 58 to the dust collector 90 described below.

(Regarding the exhaust inner cylinder 65)
As shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the exhaust inner cylinder 65 is provided inside each of the pair of rear outer cylinders 62. The exhaust inner cylinder 65 is formed in a cylindrical shape centered on the cyclone axis 61C and protrudes forward from the partition wall 56C. The exhaust inner cylinder 65 penetrates in the front-rear direction. That is, a cyclone outlet hole 66 penetrating the partition wall 56C is formed at the rear end of the exhaust inner cylinder 65, and the inside of the cyclone unit 60 and the inside of the filter unit 70 described later are communicated by the cyclone outlet hole 66. In the second working mode of the hammer drill system S1, the air separated from the dust flows rearward through the center of the cyclone outer cylinder 61 and flows rearward through the exhaust inner cylinder 65 to be discharged into the filter unit 70 described later.

(Regarding the filter unit 70)
As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 5, the outer shell of the filter section 70 is formed by the above-mentioned second case 56B. A dust-collection locking member 68 is provided on the left side of the second case 56B, and the dust-collection locking member 68 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with the plate thickness direction in the left-right direction. The lower end of the dust-collection locking member 68 is rotatably connected to the second case 56B with the front-rear direction as the axial direction. When the dust-collection section 56 is attached to the dust-collection housing 50, the upper end of the dust-collection locking member 68 engages with the inner surface of the left wall of the dust-collection housing 50.

The inside of the filter section 70 is configured as a filter chamber 71, and the exhaust inner tube 65 and the filter chamber 71 are connected by the cyclone outlet hole 66 described above. A filter 72 is provided in the upper part of the filter chamber 71 in the vertical middle part. The filter 72 is formed in a sheet shape and folded in a pleat shape. Specifically, in a side view, the filter 72 is folded in a pleat shape and overlaps in the front-to-rear direction so that the mountain folds of the filter 72 form the upper end of the filter 72 and the valley folds of the filter 72 form the lower end of the filter 72.

The filter chamber 71 is disposed below the communication portion 46A of the mounting portion 46. Therefore, air flowing into the filter chamber 71 from the cyclone portion 60 flows upward and passes through the filter 72, and the air that has passed through the filter 72 flows into the main housing 13 from the main body side exhaust port 74.

As described above, in the dust collection device 40, the air passage 80 connecting the suction section 54 and the main body outlet section 42B is composed of the air inlet section 52, the dust collection section 56 (cyclone section 60 and filter section 70), and the communication section 46A of the mounting section 46. In addition, the upstream air passage 81, which is closer to the suction section 54 (inlet side) than the filter section 70 in the air passage 80, is composed of the air inlet section 52 and the cyclone section 60, and the downstream air passage 82, which is closer to the main body outlet section 42B (outlet side) than the filter section 70 in the air passage 80, is composed of the mounting section 46. In addition, the mounting section 46 and the dust collection section 56 correspond to the dust collection case section of the present invention, and the air inlet section 52 corresponds to the intake nozzle section of the present invention. The air inlet section 52 extends forward from the dust collection section 56, and the dust collector outlet section 58 is located forward from the filter section 70 (in the direction in which the air inlet section 52 extends).

(Regarding the dust collector 90)
As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 6, the dust collector 90 includes a dust collection housing 91 forming the outer shell of the dust collector 90, a connection hose 95 as a dust collector side connection part, and a dust collector side motor 96 provided in the dust collection housing 91. An air passage 92 is formed in the lower part of the dust collection housing 91. The air passage 92 includes an air passage inlet part 92A forming an inlet part of the air passage 92, an air passage intermediate part 92B forming an intermediate part of the air passage 92, and an air passage outlet part 92C forming an outlet part of the air passage 92. The inside of the air passage inlet part 92A is configured as a dust collection chamber 93. A filter 94 is provided between the air passage inlet part 92A and the air passage intermediate part 92B.

The connection hose 95 is formed in a cylindrical shape. One end of the connection hose 95 is attached to the dust collection housing 91, and the dust collection chamber 93 and the inside of the connection hose 95 are in communication. The other end of the connection hose 95 is configured as a hose connection part 95A, which is configured to be connectable to the tip of the dust collector outlet part 58 of the dust collection device 40. Specifically, the dust collector 90 and the dust collection device 40 are connected by inserting the hose connection part 95A onto the tip of the dust collector outlet part 58.

The dust collector-side motor 96 is housed in the dust collection housing 91 with the vertical direction as the axial direction. The dust collector-side motor 96 has a drive shaft 96A with the vertical direction as the axial direction, and the dust collector-side fan 97 is provided at the lower end of the drive shaft 96A so as to be able to rotate integrally. The dust collector-side fan 97 is disposed in the air passage intermediate portion 92B and is configured as a centrifugal fan. When the dust collector-side motor 96 is driven and the dust collector-side fan 97 rotates, an air flow AR2 is generated that flows from the air passage inlet portion 92A to the air passage outlet portion 92C in the air passage 92. As a result, dust in the dust collection chamber 60A of the cyclone portion 60 in the dust collection device 40 is sucked into the dust collector 90 from the dust collector outlet portion 58 through the connection hose 95 and accumulates in the dust collection chamber 93 of the dust collector 90.

The dust collector 90 is provided with a battery 98, and power is supplied from the battery 98 to the dust collector side motor 96. The dust collector 90 is also provided with an operating unit (not shown), and when the operating unit is operated by an operator, the dust collector side motor 96 is driven and the dust collector 90 is operated. Furthermore, the driving torque of the dust collector side motor 96 is significantly higher than the driving torque of the main body side motor 20 of the hammer drill main body 11. As a result, the flow velocity of the air flow AR2 generated by the rotation of the dust collector side fan 97 of the dust collector 90 is higher than the flow velocity of the air flow AR1 generated by the rotation of the main body side fan 23 of the hammer drill main body 11. In other words, the suction force of the dust collector 90 on the dust collector 40 is higher than the suction force of the dust collector 90 on the dust collector 40 of the hammer drill main body 11.

(Action and Effect)
Next, the operation of the hammer drill system S1 in the first and second working modes will be described, while the action and effect of this embodiment will be described. Hereinafter, the operation of the hammer drill system S1 in the second working mode will be described first, and then the operation of the hammer drill system S1 in the first working mode will be described.

(Operation of the hammer drill system S1 in the second working mode)
In the second working mode of the hammer drill system S1, the dust collector 90 is not connected to the dust collector 40. Therefore, in the dust collector 40, the dust collector outlet 58 is closed by the discharge lid 59. When the operator pulls the trigger 15 of the hammer drill body 11, the body motor 20 is driven and the tip tool T rotates around its own axis. This allows the workpiece to be drilled. Specifically, the tip tool T is pressed against the workpiece to drill the workpiece.

When the main body motor 20 is driven, the main body fan 23 rotates together with the drive shaft 21 of the main body motor 20. This causes the main body fan 23 to generate an air flow AR1 (see FIG. 3) from the dust collector 40 toward the hammer drill main body 11. Specifically, an air flow AR1 is generated at the suction port 54B of the dust collector main body 45, drawing air radially inside the tool insertion portion 54C into the suction portion 54.

As a result, the air around the tip of the tool tip T is sucked into the inside of the dust collector body 45 by the suction port 54B. That is, the dust around the tool tip T, including the dust generated during drilling, flows into the inside of the suction section 54 from the suction port 54B together with the air. When drilling a workpiece, the hammer drill body 11 approaches the workpiece as the drilling progresses, and the tool insertion section 54C of the dust collector body 45 abuts against the workpiece. Therefore, when drilling the hammer drill body 11, the suction section 54 is pressed backward by the workpiece. As a result, the intake pipe 55 of the air inlet section 52 contracts, and the slide arm 53 and the suction section 54 are displaced backward.

The air flow AR1 flowing into the suction section 54 flows rearward through the intake pipe 55, passes through the inlet section 47, and flows into the rear outer cylinder 62 of the cyclone outer cylinder 61 from the cyclone inlet section 64. The air flow AR1 flowing into the rear outer cylinder 62 flows forward while rotating around the axis of the cyclone shaft 61C along the inner circumferential surface of the rear outer cylinder 62, and flows out from the front end of the rear outer cylinder 62 into the inside of the front outer cylinder 63 (see air flow AR1 in Figures 4 and 5). The air flow AR1 flowing out into the inside of the front outer cylinder 63 flows forward while rotating around the axis of the cyclone shaft 61C along the inner circumferential surface of the front outer cylinder 63 (see air flow AR1 in Figure 5). As a result, air and dust are separated in the swirl chamber 61B, and the separated dust falls from the front end opening of the front outer cylinder 63 onto the underside of the dust collection chamber 60A. The separated air flow AR1 flows rearward through the approximate center of the cyclone outer cylinder 61 and is then introduced into the exhaust inner cylinder 65 (see air flow AR1 in FIG. 5). The air flow AR1 that has been introduced into the exhaust inner cylinder 65 then flows from the cyclone outlet hole 66 into the filter chamber 71 of the filter section 70.

The air flow AR1 that flows into the filter chamber 71 flows toward the main body exhaust port 74 of the dust collection device main body 45. That is, in the filter chamber 71, the air flow AR1 flows upward, passes through the filter 72, and flows into the communication portion 46A (see air flow AR1 in FIG. 3). As a result, dust remaining in the air flow AR1 is removed by the filter 72, and the air flow AR1 from which the dust has been removed flows into the main body housing 13 of the hammer drill main body 11 from the main body outlet portion 42B.

The airflow AR1 that flows into the main housing 13 flows radially outward of the main fan 23 and is discharged from the main exhaust port 13B. As a result, the dust collector 40 can suck in the air around the tool tip T, separate the dust contained in the air, and collect the separated dust.

(Operation of the hammer drill system S1 in the first working mode)
In the first working mode of the hammer drill system S1, the dust collector 90 is connected to the dust collector 40. That is, the connection hose 95 of the dust collector 90 is inserted onto the tip of the dust collector outlet 58 of the dust collector 40 instead of the discharge lid 59. Then, as described above, when the operator pulls the trigger 15 of the hammer drill body 11, the tool tip T rotates about its own axis to drill a hole in the workpiece. At this time, the operator operates the dust collector 90, generating an air flow AR2 (see the air flow AR2 in FIG. 3) that flows from the dust collector outlet 58 toward the dust collector 90.

As a result, the air around the tip of the tool tip T is sucked into the dust collector body 45 by the suction port 54B, as described above. The air flow AR2 that flows into the suction section 54 flows into the cyclone section 60, as described above, and flows out from the front end opening of the front outer tube 63 in the cyclone section 60 (see the air flow AR2 shown in Figures 4 and 5). The air flow AR2 that flows out from the front end opening of the front outer tube 63 flows into the dust collector outlet section 58, and flows out from the dust collector outlet section 58 through the connection hose 95 into the dust collection chamber 93 of the dust collector 90 (see the air flow AR2 shown in Figure 2).

The air flow AR2 discharged into the dust collection chamber 93 passes through the filter 94 of the dust collector 90 and flows toward the airflow duct outlet 92C of the dust collector 90. This allows dust in the air flow AR2 to be removed by the filter 94, and the air flow AR2 from which the dust has been removed is discharged outside the dust collector 90 from the airflow duct outlet 92C of the dust collector 90. This allows the dust collector 90 to suck in the air around the tool tip T and collect the dust contained in the air in the dust collection chamber 93.

By pulling the trigger 15 of the hammer drill body 11, the body-side fan 23 of the hammer drill body 11 rotates. Therefore, the rotation of the body-side fan 23 generates an air flow AR1 that flows from the dust collector 40 to the dust collector 90. Here, the flow speed of the air flow AR2 generated by the dust collector 90 is faster than the flow speed of the air flow AR1 generated by the hammer drill body 11. Therefore, the suction force (suction force) by the dust collector 90 is higher than the suction force (suction force) by the hammer drill body 11. As a result, in the first working form, the air flow AR1 that flows from the dust collector 40 to the hammer drill body 11 is not generated, and an air flow AR2 (see the air flow AR2 shown in FIG. 2) that flows from the hammer drill body 11 to the dust collector 40 is generated. That is, in the first working mode of the hammer drill system S1, the air flow AR2 creates a negative pressure in the space around the main body fan 23 in the hammer drill main body 11. This reduces the air resistance when the main body fan 23 rotates. Therefore, the power consumption of the hammer drill main body 11 when the main body motor 20 is driven can be reduced.

As described above, in the hammer drill 10, the dust collector 40 is detachably attached to the hammer drill body 11, and the body outlet portion 42B of the dust collector 40 is connected to the body side air intake port 13A of the hammer drill body 11. When the hammer drill 10 is used alone, air containing dust can be sucked into the dust collector 40, and the dust can be stored in the dust collector 40. Here, the dust collector 40 has a dust collector outlet portion 58, which is configured to be connectable to the connection hose 95 of the dust collector 90. For this reason, the hammer drill system S1 is configured to be switchable between a first working mode in which machining work is performed with the dust collector 90 connected to the dust collector 40 of the hammer drill 10, and a second working mode in which machining work is performed by the hammer drill 10 alone. That is, the operator can select the form of the hammer drill system S1 according to the work content. For example, when a relatively large amount of dust is generated during processing, the hammer drill system S1 can be put into the first working mode to allow the air containing the dust to flow through the dust collector 40 toward the dust collector 90, and the dust can be collected in the dust collector 90. As a result, dust accumulation in the dust collector 40 can be suppressed. In other words, in the first working mode of the hammer drill system S1, frequent disposal of the dust accumulated in the dust collector 40 can be suppressed. As a result, the operability for the worker can be improved.

In addition, in the dust collector 40, the air passage 80 includes an upstream air passage 81 that constitutes a portion on the inlet side of the filter unit 70, and a downstream air passage 82 that constitutes a portion on the outlet side of the filter unit 70, and the dust collector outlet unit 58 is connected to the upstream air passage 81. As a result, in the first working mode of the hammer drill system S1, the air flow AR2 that flows in from the suction unit 54 of the dust collector 40 can be discharged to the dust collector 90 side on the upstream side of the filter unit 70. That is, the air flow AR2 that flows in from the suction unit 54 can be discharged to the dust collector 90 side without passing through the filter unit 70. Therefore, it is possible to suppress dust from adhering to the filter 72 of the filter unit 70 during work in the first working mode. Therefore, it is possible to suppress clogging of the filter 72 and reduce the frequency of replacing the filter 72. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the workability for the worker.

In addition, a dust collection chamber 60A for collecting dust is provided in the upstream air passage 81 of the dust collection device 40, and the dust collector outlet part 58 is connected to the dust collection chamber 60A. Therefore, during processing in the first operation mode of the hammer drill system S1, dust that does not flow out from the dust collector outlet part 58 to the dust collector 90 side can be collected in the dust collection chamber 60A of the dust collection device 40.

In addition, in the dust collection section 56 of the dust collection device 40, the dust collection chamber 60A and the filter chamber 71 are separated by the partition wall 56C. As a result, when the hammer drill system S1 is machining in the first working mode, the partition wall 56C can effectively prevent dust that has flowed into the dust collection section 56 from flowing toward the filter chamber 71.

In addition, a cyclone section 60 is provided in the upstream air passage 81 of the dust collection device 40. During machining in the second working mode of the hammer drill system S1, the cyclone section 60 separates the air and dust sucked in from the suction section 54, and the separated dust is discharged into the dust collection chamber 60A, while the air separated from the dust is exhausted into the filter chamber 71. As a result, in the second working mode of the hammer drill system S1, the dust can be stored in the dust collection chamber 60A, while the air separated from the dust can be purified in the filter section 70.

In addition, in the dust collector 40, the dust collector outlet section 58 is disposed forward of the filter section 70, and the suction section 54 is disposed forward of the filter section 70. As a result, when drilling a workpiece such as a floor during processing in the first working mode of the hammer drill system S1, dust flowing into the dust collector 40 can be smoothly discharged to the dust collector 90 side via the dust collector outlet section 58. That is, when drilling a workpiece such as a floor, the front-to-rear direction of the hammer drill 10 is aligned with the vertical direction, and the tip of the tip tool T is placed against the floor on the vertically lower side. For this reason, the dust collector outlet section 58 is disposed vertically below the filter section 70. As a result, dust discharged from the cyclone section 60 to the vertically lower side can be smoothly discharged to the dust collector 90 side via the dust collector outlet section 58. In addition, dust discharged vertically downward from the cyclone section 60 can be more effectively prevented from flowing vertically upward into the filter section 70.

Second Embodiment
Hereinafter, a hammer drill system S2 as a working machine system according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7. The hammer drill system S2 includes the dust collector 90 used in the hammer drill system S1 of the first embodiment, and a hammer drill 100 as a working machine. The hammer drill 100 includes a hammer drill body 110 as a working machine body, and a dust collector 120. The hammer drill 100 will be described below. In Fig. 7, the same reference numerals are used to designate parts of the hammer drill body 110 and the dust collector 120 that are configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

In the hammer drill body 110, the body motor 20 is disposed in front of the battery pack 34 with the vertical direction as the axial direction. The drive mechanism 30 is disposed above the body motor 20 and transmits the driving force of the body motor 20 to the tool tip T. In the hammer drill body 110, the body intake port 13A of the first embodiment is omitted, and the interior of the hammer drill body 110 and the interior of the dust collection device 120 are not connected to each other.

The dust collection device 120 includes a housing 122 that forms the outer shell of the dust collection device 120, and a dust collection motor 132 housed within the housing 122.

When viewed from the right side, the housing 122 is formed in a hollow, roughly crank-like shape. The upper part at the rear end of the housing 122 is configured as a mounting portion 122A, which is detachably attached to the lower end of the hammer drill body 110.

A cylindrical inlet portion 124 is housed in the upper end of the housing 122. The air inlet portion 52 used in the dust collection device 40 of the first embodiment is connected to the inlet portion 124, and the air inlet portion 52 protrudes forward from the housing 122. The space below the inlet portion 124 in the housing 122 is configured as a dust collection chamber 126, and the space behind the dust collection chamber 126 is configured as a filter chamber 128 as a filter portion. The dust collection chamber 126 and the filter chamber 128 are separated by a partition wall 122B, and a communication hole 122C is formed through the partition wall 122B to communicate between the dust collection chamber 126 and the filter chamber 128.

The dust collector outlet section 130, which serves as the second discharge section, is formed in the front wall of the dust collection chamber 126. Specifically, the dust collector outlet section 130 extends forward from the front wall of the dust collection chamber 126 and is bent downward.

The filter 129 is provided in the filter chamber 128, and the dust collection motor 132 is disposed behind the filter 129. The dust collection motor 132 is disposed with the front-rear direction as the axial direction, and a fan 134 as an air blower is provided at the front end of the drive shaft (not shown) of the dust collection motor 132 so as to be able to rotate integrally. The fan 134 is configured as a centrifugal fan. The dust collection motor 132 is also electrically connected to the control unit of the hammer drill 100, and the dust collection motor 132 is driven by pulling the trigger 15 of the hammer drill 100. As a result, when the dust collection motor 132 is driven, the air that has passed through the filter 129 to the rear flows radially outward of the fan 134 and is exhausted to the outside of the housing 122 from the exhaust port 122D as a first exhaust unit formed in the housing 122.

In the second embodiment, in the second operating mode of the hammer drill system S2, the exhaust lid 59 is attached to the dust collector outlet 130, so that the air around the tool tip T can be sucked into the dust collector 120 and the dust can be stored in the dust collector 120. Specifically, the air flow AR1 generated by the fan 134 flows into the dust collector 120 from the air inlet 52. The air flow AR1 that flows into the dust collector 120 passes through the dust collection chamber 126 and the communication hole 122C and flows into the filter chamber 128. The dust is then removed by the filter 129, and the air from which the dust has been removed is exhausted to the outside of the housing 122 from the exhaust port 122D.

On the other hand, in the first working mode of the hammer drill system S2, the connection hose 95 of the dust collector 90 is connected to the dust collector outlet 130 and the dust collector 120 is operated, so that the air around the tool tip T can be sucked into the dust collector 120 and can be discharged from the dust collector 120 to the dust collector 90 side. As described above, even in the second embodiment, the operator can select the working mode of the hammer drill system S2 according to the work content. Therefore, even if the dust collector 120 has a dust collection motor 132 and a fan 134, the operator's workability can be improved.

In the first embodiment of the hammer drill system S1, one dust collector outlet section 58 is provided in the dust collection device 40, and the dust collector 90 is configured to be connectable to one dust collector outlet section 58. Alternatively, the dust collection device may be configured to have multiple dust collector outlet sections so that the dust collector 90 can be connected to multiple dust collector outlet sections. This point will be described below as a modified example of the hammer drill system S1 using Figure 8.

As shown in this figure, in the modified hammer drill system S1, a dust collection device 200 is attached to the hammer drill body 11 instead of the dust collection device 40. In the dust collection device 200, the dust collection section 210 is configured to include a first dust collection section 212, a second dust collection section 214, and a third dust collection section 216. The second dust collection section 214 is configured similarly to the cyclone section 60 of the dust collection device 40 of the first embodiment, and the third dust collection section 216 is configured similarly to the filter section 70 of the first embodiment. In other words, in the dust collection device 200, the first dust collection section 212 is added to the upstream side (inlet side) of the cyclone section 60 of the dust collection device 40 of the first embodiment.

The interior of the first dust collection section 212 is configured as a first dust collection chamber 212A. The space inside the second dust collection section 214 that corresponds to the dust collection chamber 60A of the first embodiment is configured as a second dust collection chamber 214A. The space inside the third dust collection section 216 that corresponds to the filter chamber 71 of the first embodiment is configured as a third dust collection chamber 216A. The third dust collection section 216 is provided with a filter 72.

The first dust collecting section 212 is provided with a first dust collector outlet section 220 as a second discharge section, and the first dust collector outlet section 220 is connected to the first dust collecting chamber 212A. The second dust collecting section 214 is provided with a second dust collector outlet section 222 as a second discharge section, and the second dust collector outlet section 222 is connected to the second dust collecting chamber 214A. The third dust collecting section 216 is provided with a third dust collector outlet section 224 as a second discharge section, and the third dust collector outlet section 224 is connected to the third dust collecting chamber 216A.

The other end of the connection hose 95 of the dust collector 90 is branched into three parts so that the connection hose 95 can be connected to the first to third dust collector outlets 220, 222, and 224. In the first processing mode, the connection hose 95 is connected to the first to third dust collector outlets 220, 222, and 224, respectively. As a result, in the first processing mode of the modified version of the hammer drill system S1, it is possible to improve the dust collection performance compared to the hammer drill system S1, and to prevent dust from remaining in a specific dust collection chamber in the dust collection device 200.

In the modified example of the hammer drill system S1, three dust collection chambers are provided in the dust collection device 200, and all of the dust collection chambers are connected to the dust collector 90, but the dust collection chambers of the dust collection device 200 connected to the dust collector 90 can be set arbitrarily. For example, the connection hose 95 of the dust collector 90 may be connected to the first dust collector outlet part 220 and the second dust collector outlet part 222, respectively. In addition, one outlet part that communicates with all of the first to third dust collection chambers 212A, 214A, 216A (i.e., the first to third dust collector outlet parts 220, 222, 224 are connected) is provided in the dust collection part 210, and the connection hose 95 connected to this may also be configured so that the other end side part is not branched and only has a single suction port. In the modified hammer drill system S1, the third dust collector outlet 224 is located closer to the suction port 54B than the filter 72, but it may also be located closer to the main body outlet 42B than the filter 72.
