Abstract:
A motor driven appliance comprises a battery, a motor, at least one switch, a control unit, an abnormality detection unit, a determination unit, and a processing unit. The at least one switch comprises an operation switch. The control unit controls driving of the motor by controlling power supply from the battery to the motor when the operation switch is turned on. The abnormality detection unit detects abnormality of the appliance. The determination unit determines whether the detected abnormality is a first type abnormality that can be cleared when the operation switch is switched from on to off, or is a second type abnormality that cannot be cleared even if the operation switch is merely switched from on to off. The processing unit is configured to perform a specific process when it is determined that the detected abnormality is the second type abnormality.
Abstract:
A motor-driven appliance includes a motor and a control unit that controls a drive output to the motor. The control unit detects a state amount indicating an operational state of the motor to derive a fluctuation range of fluctuation in the state amount. The control unit detects whether the motor is in an unloaded state or in a loaded state, based on the derived fluctuation range to perform the drive output to the motor, based on the detected result.
Abstract:
An electric power tool includes a motor with a rotor having a permanent magnet; a control unit that sets a control amount of the motor in accordance with operation of an operation portion and that drive-controls the motor based on the control amount; and a number-of-rotations detection unit that detects the number of rotations of the motor. During driving of the motor, when the number of rotations detected by the number-of-rotations detection unit has reached an upper limit number of rotations set in advance, the control unit shifts drive control of the motor to rotation control, in which the control amount is made to be increased or decreased so that the number of rotations of the motor becomes a predetermined target number of rotations.
Abstract:
An electric work machine (2) includes a motor (M) and a control unit (36) that controls rotation of the motor. The control unit (36) is configured such that an operating mode is switchable between a normal mode, in which the motor is rotated within a prescribed output range, and a power mode, in which the motor is rotatable with energy greater than in the normal mode. Furthermore, the control unit (36) is configured to restrict use of the power mode.
Abstract:
A communicator in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a connector, a communication circuit, and a communication controller. The connector is electrically coupled to an electric working machine. The communication circuit performs wireless communication. The communication controller cyclically transmits operational information without specifying a recipient via the communication circuit in response to an operating mode of the communication controller being set to an operation-transmission mode. The operational information indicates an operating state of the electric working machine.
Abstract:
An electronic power equipment, which is configured to be connected to both an AC power source and a DC power source, has a motor 14 configured to be driven by both AC power and DC power, an AC circuit 30 for supplying AC electric power to the motor 14, a DC circuit 40 for supplying DC electric power to the motor 14, switching parts RL1-RL12 for switching between the AC circuit 30 and the DC circuit 40 wherein the AC and DC circuits are insulated relative to each other, and a controller A1 configured to control the switching parts RL1-RL12, the AC circuit 30, and the DC circuit 40.
Abstract:
An electric power tool comprises: a motor configured to drive a tool; a control unit configured to control the motor; a communication board comprising an antenna and a communication circuit, which are configured to establish close-proximity wireless communication with an external communication terminal; and a housing configured to house the motor, the control unit, and the communication board. The housing comprises a grip portion having a hollow space, which is to be gripped by a user. The communication board is arranged inside the grip portion.
Abstract:
A variable speed switch includes a switch main body portion which is accommodated in a housing of an electric power tool and mounted to the housing so as to be capable of relative movement, and a load sensor which is provided in the switch main body portion and capable of outputting an electric signal in proportion to the amount of distortion caused by a pressing force. The switch operating portion is mounted on the surface of the housing so as to be capable of relative displacement with respect to the housing and transmits a pressing force applied to the switch operating portion to the load sensor, with the maximum displacement amount of the switch operating portion being set to equal to or less than 5 mm.

Abstract:
A hand-held electric power tool includes a main power SW provided in a motor housing, a trigger SW provided in a grip portion that protrudes from the motor housing, and a controller. The controller switches an operation mode to one of a drive enabled mode in which driving of the motor is enabled and a drive disabled mode in which driving of the motor is disabled, in accordance with a switching command from the main power SW. In the drive enabled mode, driving of the motor is controlled in accordance with a driving command input from the trigger SW. The controller switches the operation mode to the drive disabled mode in response to the driving of the motor being stopped due to stopping input of the drive command from the trigger SW.
