摘要:
To detect if a tool bit, such as a drill, a saw blade, or the like, upon being worked into a wall, meets a metallic obstruction, such as a conduit, reinforcement rod, hydraulic pipe or the like, an alternating voltage, preferably between 2 and 20 kHz, is coupled through a coupling capacitor (9) to the tool bit, and current flow to the tool bit is detected by a current measurement stage (10; 31, 32) to disconnect energy to the drive motor (5), for example by disabling firing of a thyristor (15), or closing a valve of a compressed-air tool. The coupling capacitor should have a capacity small enough to provide high impedance to network power frequency, and to insure a substantial change in current being supplied to the tool bit holder, typically a chuck, if the tool bit meets a metallic object in the wall. The a-c supply circuit can be formed as part of a trigger circuit for the thyristor, by pulse-energizing a trigger diode (28) upon repetitive charge of a capacitor (26) through a charging network (22, 23, 24, 25).

A hand-held power tool with a circular-disk-shaped tool mounted on an output shaft which extends normal to a drive shaft has a guiding part which surrounds the tool in an immovable position at its cutting side. The guiding part has a wall arranged for abutting against a workpiece and having a through slot for the tool, and a guiding edge extending parallel to a cutting direction of the tool, and the guiding part being movably guided in direction normal to the wall.

A mechanical switch is provided which, in a first position connects a current limiting circuit to a motor and, in a second position, disconnects the current limiting circuit from the motor. Mechanical activators are provided for the mechanical switch, to switch it from the first to the second position when the tool including the motor has a predetermined relationship to the workpiece. The mechanical activators provided for the mechanical switch operate the switch either when correct positioning of the tool relative to the workpiece results in a predetermined force being applied to the activator by the workpiece or when a shaft of the tool transmits a predetermined torque.

A signal representative of the mass moment of inertia of a grinding wheel and its drive motor is integrated for a fixed time interval during start-up of the motor beginning when the motor speed or the motor current has reached a predetermined small value, and the integration result is stored until the integrator and storage circuit are reset by a new start-up operation. The integrator result is used to modify a voltage which represents a desired operating speed so as to compensate for differences in value of the mass moment of inertia, making the desired speed smaller when the mass moment of inertia is greater, and vice versa. The result is to hit the desired speed in a manner compensating for the wearing down of the diameter of the grinding wheel, so that the peripheral speed of the grinding wheel is regulated at a substantially constant speed, even though in successive start-ups the grinding wheel diameter diminishes. The integrated signal may be the motor current which varies directly with the mass moment of inertia, or the rotary speed of the shaft which varies inversely with the mass moment of inertia. Sensitivity to changes in diameter is greater when the operating voltage is reduced during start-up and at least until the end of the measuring interval.

In an electromagnetically operated driving tool, in which a cup-shaped plunger carrying a driver blade is axially slidable in a solenoid, an air damper, combined with a check valve, is provided to damp the plunger during its backward movement to an inoperative position. A hollow cylinder positioned in the plunger is vented through an opening in a housing of the tool and has an interior which is closed at its end with a liftable valve flap. A throttle gap is formed between the plunger and the cylinder, which is adjustable by a piston movable in the cylinder which is made of elastic plastics and is elastically expandable to vary the throttle gap.

To provide for, selectively, control of the speed of a tool, such as a drill or boring tool coupled to an electric drill or boring machine motor, independently of the setting of a multi-speed transmission, speed of the tool is sensed by a contactless transducer (4, 7), one part of which is coupled to the chuck (1, 2) and the other to the housing (H) of the tool, to provide speed signals which incorporate the transmission ratio of the gear (G, 66). Speed control, for example under a command signal (40; 50), then will control the actual speed, regardless of the transmission setting, with the torque deliverable by the motor being controlled by the selected gear. The diameter of the drill or other tool bit is sensed also by the transducer, if coupled to the chuck jaws, to vary the output signal from the transducer as a function of chuck jaw diameter. The output signal can be selectively analyzed for frequency in a frequency evaluation stage (35), and for amplitude in an amplitude evaluation stage (34), the speed and chuck jaw spacing signals can be separated (FIG. 8) from a combined speed - chuck jaw spacing signal obtained, to provide for control of the motor as a function of material being worked on (40; A-D), of accessories (40) to associate output speed with materials and drill diameter in accordance with selected functions, or only of speed, for example for operating accessories such as screwdrivers, sanding disks, or the like.

To permit operation of the power tool only if both hands of an operator are engaged, the tool is formed with a handle portion which has a sensing surface thereon, electrically coupled to a current flow sensing circuit, preferably including an opto-coupler or a field-effect transistor (FET) circuit which permits firing of a triac, thyristor, or the like only if current flows over the sensing surface by area contact therewith. The sensing surface is energized, preferably, from a resistive or capacitative voltage divider; the capacitative voltage divider has the advantage that the triac firing circuit can cause the triac to fire during null or zero crossings of ac supplied power. If a locking-type switch is used, two handles or touch-areas are needed; if a spring-loaded switch is provided, it can function as one safety element, and a touch-area sensing surface as the other.
摘要:
An arrangement for frictionally coupling a saw blade to a trunnion projecting from one end of a drive shaft and permitting rotation of the saw blade relative to the trunnion upon excessive strain on the saw blade, in which the saw blade can be mounted only in a correct way in accordance with the direction of rotation of the drive shaft on the trunnion. The saw blade is frictionally held between two annular clamping elements on the trunnion. One of the annular clamping elements abuts against a shoulder formed at the junction of the drive shaft and trunnion and the other abuts directly or under the imposition of a pressure ring against the head of a screw screwed into an axial bore extending from the end face of the trunnion into the latter. The saw blade has an axial projection and the annular clamping element on the side of this projection is constructed in such a manner that the saw blade, without being hindered by the projection, may abut against this clamping element and turn relative thereto. The axial projection holds at the wrong mounting of the saw blade on the trunnion the various elements so far apart that one of the clamping elements cannot be pushed onto the trunnion or the screw not be screwed onto the threaded bore.

An energy limiting circuit for the operating stroke of a motor-driven screwdriver energized by alternating current is activated in response to a pulse of current amplitude, which may be the starting current of the motor or the first of a series of current amplitude pulses characteristic of screw tightening impacts produced by an impact-type screwdriver. The energy limiting circuit in a simple case is a timing circuit. For operation with strict reference to the impacting energy, the energy limiting circuit is a pulse counter. Adjustment of the timing or of the pulse counting is provided for setting the tool to the conditions of a particular repetitive task.
摘要:
To permit reliable turn-OFF of the motor when the torque of the motor is sufficient to provide for reliable seating of a screw or nut being driven thereby, start conditions of the motor are sensed, either in form of low-current condition or high power factor; high-torque conditions are sensed by low power factor, or high-current, in dependence on the desired torque level which results, respectively, in a comparatively steep phase angle-torque or current level-torque curve. A switch control is energized to turn-OFF the motor current if the phase angles, or the motor current, respectively, are beyond predetermined levels. To prevent in-rush current, or high power factors from affecting the operation of the turn-OFF system, timing circuits are provided to disable the turn-OFF system when the motor is first turned-ON or if the phase angle difference, as determined by time-comparator networks, between current and voltage, is below a predetermined value. Timing duration of at least one of the timing circuits can be controlled as a function of motor temperature to provide for linear response of the system, regardless of changes of motor operating parameter versus torque characteristics under varying motor temperature conditions.
