Definitions

  • the invention is based on a method for interrupting the drive activity of a handheld power tool according to the generic preamble of claims 1 or 3.
  • EP 150 669 A2 already discloses such a handheld power tool with a container accommodated in its interior, in which an electrically conductive, liquid mass is located. This mass is penetrated by a magnetic field, which induces an electrical voltage that can be picked up from electrodes when the machine rotates. The measurement of the inertial forces is only possible with a relatively large expenditure on equipment. In addition, if the machine is intended to move, the safety clutch can also be triggered incorrectly.
  • the clutch is thus automatically engaged depending on a force that the operator has to apply by firmly pressing the hand tool. This makes handling difficult.
  • relatively large idling distances must be provided on the machine side, which is not only impractical for handling, but also increases the axial length.
  • a safety clutch as a clutch in the drive train, which responds when a certain transmitted torque is reached and then separates the rotary drive.
  • Such safety couplings are e.g. designed as slip clutches, friction clutches or releasable clutches.
  • Such safety clutches respond depending on the force. This works well if the user of the hand-held machine tool is prepared for the moment that suddenly occurs in the event of a blockage and the hand-held machine tool is constantly holding the corresponding counter-moment in anticipation of this malfunction.
  • these requirements are often not met, so that e.g. twisted or even injured wrists and arms occur repeatedly when using such handheld power tools, in particular rotary hammers.
  • the method according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the following advantages. Since the achievement of a travel position of the tool or a translationally moving part of the striking mechanism located on the idling distance is recorded as a variable and the clutch is automatically disengaged when this travel position is reached and automatically engaged when leaving this travel position, there is an automatic idle shutdown or automatic restart, without the user of the hand tool having to apply any additional operating forces or, in particular, engagement forces. Rather, the disengagement of the clutch depends solely on the displacement of the tool forward into the idle position, just as the engagement of the clutch again depends solely on the fact that the tool is moved backwards from this idle position to the position corresponding to the striking mode.
  • the user can therefore work loosely and relaxed, without having to constantly apply special pressing forces to maintain the percussion drive.
  • the handling of the hand machine tool is considerably simplified. Greater ease of use is achieved. It is also advantageous that any other idling devices or catching devices are unnecessary and that the method according to the invention enables almost any short idling distances.
  • the idle travel can thus be significantly reduced, which leads to a faster response and to a more direct operation of the hand tool.
  • a reduction in the axial length in the axial direction of the tool holder is also possible.
  • the prerequisites have been created for simplifying the coupling, if necessary, since it is not absolutely necessary to use a cone coupling with cone halves that can be pressed axially against one another.
  • the z. B. can consist of a path and / or a speed and / or an acceleration, and since the clutch is automatically disengaged when a predetermined value of such a movement size is exceeded, there is always the same safety for the user of the hand tool, regardless of the drive torque Hand tool that the user applies with the holding torque. The user does not need to have a holding moment that is far too large for most of the time in anticipation of a block.
  • the invention is based on the fundamental knowledge that the pivoting movement of the hand-held power tool, in particular a rotary hammer, which occurs when a rotating tool is blocked, itself as a signal for the interruption of the drive activity, in particular rotary drive activity, and not for this purpose a force-dependent variable, e.g. B. a torque in the power flow of the rotary drive.
  • a force-dependent variable e.g. B. a torque in the power flow of the rotary drive.
  • the invention further relates to a hand tool with the features in the preamble of claim 11.
  • a hand tool is characterized by the features in the characterizing part of claim 11.
  • Advantageous further developments and improvements of such a handheld power tool result from the features in claims 12-29.
  • the handheld power tool designed in this way is relatively simple in construction and inexpensive. Since it has the advantages explained at the outset, this justifies the overall little additional effort, also with regard to the reliable safety achieved and easier handling for the user.
  • a hand tool is shown schematically, which here consists of a hammer drill or which can instead consist of a pure hammer for chisel operation.
  • hammers are generally known (DE-AS 12 06 817).
  • the hammer drill shown has a housing 10 in which an electric drive motor 11, which is designed as a universal motor, a gear 12 and a striking mechanism 13 are also arranged.
  • the hammer drill is e.g. designed in accordance with DE-OS 28 20 128, to which express reference is made here, so that particular details of the transmission 12 and the striking mechanism 13 need not be explained in detail.
  • the drive motor 11 carries on the motor shaft 14 a motor pinion 15 which is in engagement with a gear 16 which is held on a shaft 17 in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the drive piston 21 is designed as a hollow piston and acts via an air cushion on a striker 22 movably mounted therein.
  • the tool 24 is e.g. from a drill. Other types of tools can also be accommodated in the tool holder 23.
  • the tool 24 can be driven in rotation by means of a rotating sleeve 25 of the transmission 12, which is only indicated schematically.
  • the rotary sleeve 25 carries a gear 26 which is non-rotatable thereon and which is in engagement with a pinion 27 which is non-rotatably or coupled to the shaft 17 via a special safety coupling.
  • a safety clutch in one embodiment is e.g. described in DE-OS 28 20 128, to which reference can be made here.
  • a special clutch 28 is arranged in the drive train from the engine 11 to the tool 24, which is shown only schematically here.
  • This clutch is arranged in the rotary drive drive train in front of the branch of the striking mechanism 13. It is namely in the embodiment shown between the gear part 15 driven by the motor pinion 15 in the form of the gear 16 and the shaft 17 on the one hand and the gear train driving the striking mechanism 13 on the other hand, to which the shaft 17 e.g. rotatable drum 18 and the driven parts of the striking mechanism 13, which are explained at the beginning.
  • the coupling 28 is instead behind the branch shown, where it is arranged in the pure percussion drive branch, e.g. between the shaft 17 on the one hand and the drum 18 on the other hand, so that when the clutch 28 is disengaged, the drive of the drum 18 is interrupted and the striking mechanism 13 stands still, even if the rotary drive which is still driven and rotating shaft 17 above is not interrupted, but is still effective.
  • the clutch 28 is automatically disengaged depending on a size with an interruption of the driving activity of at least the striking mechanism 13. In this case, the gear complex adjoining the clutch 28 in FIG. 1 is not driven, so that in this case, in addition to the striking mechanism 13, which stands still, then also the drive rotating the rotating sleeve 25 and the tool 24 also stands still. If the clutch 28 is instead arranged between the shaft 17 and the drum 18, only the striking mechanism 13 stands still when the clutch 28 is disengaged.
  • the clutch 28 is designed here as a clutch. It consists in particular of a non-positive clutch, e.g. from a friction clutch.
  • the clutch 28 is designed as a servo clutch, which uses the existing energy diverted from the drive motor 11, e.g. is controllable by means of electrical or electromechanical energy.
  • the coupling 28 may also be a form-fitting one Be designed clutch, for example as a claw clutch. Then the clutch 28 should be arranged in front of the branch of the striking mechanism 13 and as shown in FIG. 1, so that when the clutch is disengaged, the rotary drive is also stopped in addition to the striking mechanism 13. Furthermore, it is recommended that the drive motor 11 is then also switched off and stopped when the clutch 28 is disengaged so that the clutch 28 can be re-engaged later when the clutch 28 is disengaged.
  • the handheld power tool also contains a sensor 30, which is only indicated schematically and which is fixedly arranged in the interior of the housing 10.
  • the sensor 30 is designed in particular as an electrical sensor. However, it can also be designed as a mechanical or electromechanical sensor instead.
  • the sensor 30 is in operative connection with the clutch 28 and acts on the clutch 28 as soon as it responds.
  • the sensor 30 is designed as an idle sensor, which detects as a quantity the position of the tool 24 or a part of the striking mechanism 13 that is in the idle distance (FIG. 3) and which is moved in translation, and then acts on the clutch 28 for automatic disengagement.
  • the idle sensor is able to automatically detect the leaving of this path position in the direction of the striking position and then to apply the clutch 28 for automatic re-engagement.
  • the senor 30 is e.g. designed as an electrical limit switch.
  • a control device 34 e.g. a switching logic, with which the sensor 30 is connected, wherein the sensor 30 can activate the control device 34 when activated.
  • the sensor 30 can e.g. be designed as an electromagnetic sensor which activates the control device 34 when said path position is reached.
  • the control device 34 is in turn in operative connection with the clutch 28 for disengaging and reinserting it (FIGS. 2, 4). If the sensor 30 responds, the control device 34 is activated, which in turn controls the clutch 28 electrically or electromechanically, e.g. electromagnetic, disengages.
  • the sensor 30 With the hand-held power tool designed in this way, it is possible for the sensor 30 to be used as a variable to detect reaching a position on the idle path of the tool 24 or a translationally moving part of the striking mechanism 13 and when this position is reached the clutch 28 is automatically disengaged and at Leaving this path position, the clutch 28 is automatically engaged again.
  • the overall translation path of the tool 24 - or for example the reciprocatingly driven drive piston 21 - during impact operation corresponds to a distance of considerable length, which can only be approximately 22 mm, for example.
  • the sensor 30 is e.g. B. not placed in this area, but, seen in Figure 3 from right to left, at least in the second or better still in the third third and thus on an area that the tool 24 or a reciprocatingly driven part of the striking mechanism 13th only reached in idle position.
  • the sensor 30 is placed on this idle line, for example, so that it is passed by the tool 24 going into the idle position and in the idle position the end of the tool 24 is on the left and at a distance from the sensor 30, so that the sensor 30 uses this as a criterion for idle operation and the application of clutch 28 to disengage.
  • the sensor 30 could, for example, in the middle third of the translation path of the tool 24 or also be placed further to the right of it. It depends on the design of the sensor 30 where it is ultimately located. If the sensor 30 responds when the tool is, for example, in overlap with it, the sensor 30 is reliably placed at a suitable point on the idling path, for example in the last third, as shown by solid lines in FIG. 3. If the sensor 30 responds when it has been overrun by the tool 24 and there is no overlap with it in the idle position, the sensor 30 can be arranged, for example, in the middle position, as indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 3.
  • the main idea is that the idling position of the tool 24 or a reciprocating part of the striking mechanism 13 is detected by the sensor 30 during impact operation and the clutch 28 is then actuated so that it disengages. As soon as the tool 24 or said part of the striking mechanism 13 is moved from this idling position to the right into the striking position by movement in FIGS. 1, 3, this is also detected by the sensor 30 and the clutch 28 is acted upon to re-engage. For everything, it does not depend on any force to be exerted by the user of the hand-held power tool in order to achieve the engagement of the clutch for the impact operation and the disengagement of the clutch automatically when idling.
  • FIG. 2 and in particular 4 it is indicated how the sensor 30 acts indirectly on the clutch 28. If the sensor 30 responds when the idling position has been reached, the sensor 30 activates the control device 34, in particular switching logic, which in turn then sends a control pulse in the sense of disengaging the clutch to an electromechanical, e.g. electric actuator, in particular disengaging actuator 35, which then engages the clutch 28 to disengage it. If after this the tool 24 has been shifted from the idling position to the striking position, the clutch 28 is also engaged again by the sensor 30 via the control device 34, which in turn then generates a control pulse e.g. leads to an actuator in the form of an engagement actuator 36 which engages the clutch 28 to engage it. Like the disengaging actuator 35, the engaging actuator 36 can be controlled by the control device 34 e.g. be operated electromechanically, in particular electromagnetically.

Abstract

Un procédé permet de mettre hors circuit pendant la marche à vide un marteau perforateur et/ou un trépan à tranchement. Un embrayage (28) agencé au moins dans la chaîne cinématique de percussion est automatiquement désengagé lorsque le point mort est atteint. Le moment où l'outil (24) atteint une position située sur la course de marche à vide est détecté et l'embrayage (28) est automatiquement désengagé lorsque cette position est atteinte et enclenché à nouveau lorsque l'outil quitte cette position. A cet effet, un détecteur de marche à vide (30) provoque électromécaniquement l'engagement et le désengagement de l'embrayage (28) par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de commande (34). L'ouvrier maniant le marteau perforateur n'a donc pas besoin d'exercer d'efforts supplémentaires d'actionnement ou d'embrayage afin de mettre en et hors circuit l'outil à percussion, ce qui réduit le temps de marche à vide.
