The first setter is operated for setting, as a control method for the motor, which is usable by the controller, one of control methods preliminarily registered. The second setter is operated for setting, as a control method for the motor, which is usable by the controller, at least one of the control methods settable via the first setter.
Abstract:
An interlocking adapter in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a current path, an electric load, a switch, and a controller. The controller turns on and off the switch in synchronization with a change of an alternating-current voltage received from an electric outlet of an electric apparatus in response to reception of an interlocking command signal from a working machine so as to supply a load current from the electric outlet to the electric load. The controller turns on and off the switch at a specified ratio of a time every ½ cycle of the alternating-current voltage.
Abstract:
An electric working machine according to one aspect of the present disclosure comprises a motor, a rectifier circuit, a capacitor, a series switching element, a resistive element, a drive circuit, a peak voltage value acquirer, and a controller. The capacitor smooths power rectified by the rectifier circuit. The series switching element is coupled in series with the capacitor. The resistive element is coupled in parallel with the series switching element. The controller brings the series switching element into conduction in a case where AC power is inputted to the rectifier circuit and where a specified conducting condition based on a peak voltage value acquired by the peak voltage value acquirer is satisfied.
Abstract:
An electro-pneumatic tool drives a fastener into a workpiece by energizing an electric motor to drive a first piston and generate compressed air in a first cylinder. The compressed air is then supplied to a second cylinder and causes a second piston to move and drive the fastener into the workpiece. After the first piston has passed through its top dead center, braking is applied to the first piston according to one or more braking parameters. Then, if a control unit determines that the first piston has come to a stop at a position that is outside a predetermined range about the bottom dead center of the first piston, one or more of the braking parameters is changed in a subsequent fastener driving cycle to cause the first piston to stop closer to its bottom dead center after conclusion of the subsequent fastener driving cycle.
Abstract:
A motor-driven appliance of one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor and a controller. The controller includes a physical quantity detector, a variation deriving portion, a loaded condition detector, and driving output portion. The physical quantity detector detects a physical quantity related to an operating state of the motor. The variation deriving portion derives a variation in the physical quantity based upon the physical quantity detected by the physical quantity detector. The loaded condition detector detects that the motor is under a loaded condition in which the motor is applied with a load based upon the variation derived by the variation deriving portion. The driving output portion generates the driving output corresponding to whether the loaded condition is detected by the loaded condition detector.
Abstract:
A power tool according to one aspect of one embodiment described in the disclosure includes a brushless motor, a battery voltage detection unit configured to detect a voltage of a battery that provides energy for driving the brushless motor, a rotational position detection unit configured to detect a rotational position of the brushless motor, and a control unit configured to control a drive output supplied to the brushless motor based at least in part on a signal from the rotational position detection unit. The control unit controls a current conduction angle and/or an advance angle supplied to the brushless motor so that, during control of the drive output to the brushless motor, a rotational speed or a conducting current of the brushless motor approaches or reaches a target value, the target value being based at least in part on a battery voltage detected by the battery voltage detection unit.
Abstract:
The electric work machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes an output shaft, a motor, a current measuring circuit, and a controller. The current measuring circuit measures a current value, the current value corresponding to a magnitude of a drive current flowing through the motor. The controller sets a maximum value and a threshold. The controller calculates the correction value less than or equal to the maximum value so that the drive current decreases, in response to the current value having reached the threshold. The controller subtracts, from the control parameter, the correction value calculated, thereby correcting the control parameter. The controller drives the motor based on the control parameter corrected.
Abstract:
An electric work machine (1; 110; 120; 130), such as a power tool, includes a motor (11) having a rotor, a drive part (13) that supplies electric currents to drive the motor, a rotational-direction selection part (17), and a motor-control part (14; 31, 32, 40, 50, 60; 14, 40, 60, 73, 80; 14, 60, 91). The rotational-direction selection part is configured for manually setting (selecting) the rotational direction of the rotor and outputs first and second setting signals that each indicate the set (selected) rotational direction. The motor-control part controls the drive part such that the rotor rotates in the rotational direction indicated by the first setting signal and/or the second setting signal. In response to a determination that the rotational directions indicated by the first and second setting signals are inconsistent, the motor-control part stops or prevents the drive of the motor.
Abstract:
An electric power tool in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor, an impact mechanism, an impact detector, and a control circuit. The control circuit controls a motor current based on a drive duty ratio in a first driving term. The first driving term corresponds to a time period from when the motor is started until impact is detect. The drive duty ratio corresponds to a sum of a basic duty ratio and a proportional duty ratio. The control circuit controls the motor current so that an actual rotational speed of the motor is consistent with a target rotational speed after elapse of the first driving term.
