    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

    [0031] The detailed description and technical contents of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings.

    [0032] Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. The invention provides a grinding machine tool 10 for reducing hotness of a casing. The grinding machine tool 10 is used in conjunction with a grinding member 30, and the grinding machine tool 10 includes a casing 11 and a drive assembly 14. The casing 11 is divided into a head 111 and a body 112. Specifically, the head 111 of the casing 11 is at a position at which a user's palm holds on when operating the grinding machine tool 10, and the body 112 of the casing 11 is at a position at which the user's wrist or arm abuts against when operating the grinding machine tool 10. The casing 11 is composed of at least two casing parts 113 which are composed of a shape of the grinding machine tool 10, the casing 11 includes an air inlet 115 formed on the body 112 and an air outlet 116 formed on a side of the head 111 opposite to the body 112, and the air inlet 115 and the air outlet 116 are respectively located at positions that will not be shielded by the user when the user operates the grinding machine tool 10. In addition, the casing 11 is provided with a motor cover 117 on the head 111, and the motor cover 117 is open at a side facing the grinding member 30. In more detail, after completion of assembling the at least two casing parts 113, the motor cover 117 does not contact the at least two casing parts 113 to have a gap inbetween, so that an airflow passage 118 communicating with the air inlet 115 and the air outlet 116 is formed between the casing 11 and the motor cover 117.

    [0033] The drive assembly 14 includes a circuit board 141 provided in the casing 11, a motor 142 electrically connected to the circuit board 141, and an airflow generating member 143 rotating synchronously with the motor 142. Specifically, the motor 142 is placed from an open side of the motor cover 117 and is partially shielded by the motor cover 117. The airflow generating member 143 is located on a side of the motor 142 facing the grinding member 30. After the airflow generating member 143 is assembled, the open side of the motor cover 117 is shielded, so that an end of the motor 142 that is not shielded by the motor cover 117 faces the airflow generating member 143. In addition, the motor 142 is activated after receiving electric power from the circuit board 141, and an output shaft 144 of the motor 142 is rotated to drive the grinding member 30 to perform grinding operations. Furthermore, when the motor 142 operates, the airflow generating member 143 is rotated synchronously, and a first heat dissipation airflow 60 and a second heat dissipation airflow 70 are generated when the airflow generating member 143 rotates.

    [0034] Specifically, gas pressure changes in the head 111 when the airflow generating member 143 rotates, so that external air enters from the air inlet 115 and transforms into the first heat dissipation airflow 60, and the first heat dissipation airflow 60 enters the casing 11 and flows along the airflow passage 118. Since the motor 142 is shielded by the motor cover 117, the first heat dissipation airflow 60 cannot flow into the motor 142 but flows along the motor cover 117 and an inner wall surface of the head 111, and then the first heat dissipation airflow 60 is guided by the airflow generating member 143 to be discharged from the air outlet 116. The first heat dissipation airflow 60 exchanges heat with the circuit board 141 during a flowing process, and then exchanges heat with the motor cover 117 when flowing through the head 111, so as to take away the thermal energy accumulated on the circuit board 141, and reduce heat of the motor 142 to be transferred to the motor cover 117. On the other hand, when the airflow generating member 143 rotates, a side of the motor 142 facing the airflow generating member 143 changes gas pressure to generate the second heat dissipation airflow 70. The second heat dissipation airflow 70 exchanges heat with the side of the motor 142 facing the airflow generating member 143, and the second heat dissipation airflow 70 is guided by the airflow generating member 143 to be discharged from the air outlet 116 to the outside during the flowing process. Thereby the second heat dissipation airflow 70 is capable of dissipating heat of the side of the motor 142 facing the airflow generating member 143, and the heat of the side of the motor 142 facing the airflow generating member 143 can be discharged outside of the casing 11.

    [0035] In addition to dissipating heat from the side of the motor 142 facing the airflow generating member 143 by the second heat dissipation airflow 70 in the invention, after the casing 11 is assembled, the invention further utilizes the airflow passage 118 formed by the motor cover 117 without contacting the at least two casing parts 113, so that the first heat dissipation airflow 60 is capable of flowing in the airflow passage 118 to change airflow in the casing 11, thereby reducing a circumstance that thermal energy on a conventional circuit board and a conventional motor transfers thermal radiation to a conventional casing due to poor air circulation inside the conventional grinding machine tool, and also solving the problem of uneven heat dissipation of the conventional grinding machine tool. Furthermore, when the first heat dissipation airflow 60 flows through the airflow passage 118, since the motor 142 is shielded by the motor cover 117, the first heat dissipation airflow 60 cannot flow into the motor 142 but flows along a surface of the motor cover 117 and the inner wall surface of the head 111, thereby the first heat dissipation airflow 60 is capable of exchanging heat with the motor cover 117 and the head 111, and reducing dust in the first heat dissipation airflow 60 to be flew into the motor 142. In addition, when the first heat dissipation airflow 60 of the invention flows through the casing 11, the first heat dissipation airflow 60 not only dissipates heat of the motor 142, but the first heat dissipation airflow 60 can further simultaneously exchange heat with the circuit board 141. The first heat dissipation airflow 60 takes away heat accumulated on the circuit board 141 during the flowing process, reduces heat of the circuit board 141 being transferred to the casing 11, thereby preventing the casing 11 from getting hot.

    [0036] Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. In one embodiment, the grinding machine tool 10 comprises an air guider 16 disposed in the casing 11, the air guider 16 is located on the airflow passage 118 to receive the first heat dissipation airflow 60 from the body 112 and to form the second heat dissipation airflow 70. Specifically, the air guider 16 comprises a main body 161 disposed at the boundary between the head 111 and the body 112, and an ascending diversion portion 162 integrally formed with the main body 161. In one embodiment, the main body 161 is in an arc shape, and the arc shape can be a superior arc, an inferior arc, or a semi-circle according to implementation requirements.

The ascending diversion portion 162 further comprises a main guide surface 163 and two auxiliary guide surfaces 164 respectively disposed on two sides of the main guide surface 163. The two auxiliary guide surfaces 164 can be located on two opposite sides of the motor 142 (or the motor cover 117) after the air guider 16 is disposed. The two auxiliary guide surfaces 164 are not necessarily formed by a bottom edge of the main body 16, but can also be formed by extending from sides of the main guide surface 163. In addition, in one embodiment, the two auxiliary guide surfaces 164 are different from the main guide surface 163 in form, each of the two auxiliary guide surfaces 164 is composed of a plurality of curved surfaces. Furthermore, the main guide surface 163 guides the first heat dissipation airflow 60 to flow toward a top of the motor 142, and the two auxiliary guide surfaces 164 receive a portion of the first heat dissipation airflow 60 to generate the second heat dissipation airflow 70. The ascending diversion portion 162 makes the first heat dissipation airflow 60 entering from the air inlet 115 flow toward the top of the motor 142 in order to dissipate heat from the top of the motor 142, so that a degree of hotness of a part of the casing 11 where the user holds on with the palm can be reduced due to heat being dissipated from the top of the motor 142, thereby greatly improving the user's experience.

A portion of the first heat dissipation airflow 60 guided by the main guide surface 163 flows toward a part of the airflow passage 118 located between a top of the motor cover 117 and the at least two casing parts 113, so that the portion of the first heat dissipation airflow 60 exchanges heat with a part of the head 111 where the user's palm contacts with. The two auxiliary guide surfaces 164 respectively guide a portion of the first heat dissipation airflow 60 to flow into a part of the airflow passage 118 located between the side of the motor cover 117 and the at least two casing parts 113, so that the portion of the first heat dissipation airflow 60 exchanges heat with the part of the head 111 for the user's fingers to grasp.
