Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for determining the amount of an electrically driven cutting tool cut material and a Circuit arrangement for performing the method.
  • the method according to the invention is suitable for cutting tools with which material to be cut in a plurality of individual cutting processes, and is intended especially for those their function after a certain operating time through the cut material is affected.
  • This method is preferably used, for example, for Measurement and display of the degree of contamination of an electrically powered shaver, Beard trimmer or the like ..
  • JP-A-02-241480 by means of a light barrier Measure the amount of accumulated shaving dust in the shaving head and after exceeding it a threshold value to indicate the need for cleaning.
  • a razor the degree of pollution according to one of the latter two Process is determined, necessarily contains appropriate in the shaving head Measuring devices. This increases compared to a razor without a contamination indicator the design effort is considerable.
  • a method for determining and displaying the Specify the degree of contamination of an electrically driven cutting tool It is also an object of the invention to provide a circuit arrangement for carrying out the specify method according to the invention.
  • the method according to the invention is based on the knowledge that the current consumption of an electrically driven cutting tool is subject to fluctuations that due to the changing load on the cutting tool when cutting the material to be cut are caused. According to the invention, these are by the individual Cutting processes fluctuations in the drive motor of the cutting tool recorded current recorded, evaluated and as a measure of the amount of cut material to be used.
  • the cut hair is inside the Accumulate the shaving head and impair the function of the device over time can be cleaned from time to time. According to a training of the Invention is therefore after reaching a certain reference value for the amount of cut material activated a display that the user on the Informed need for cleaning.
  • the invention is described below using a razor as an embodiment explained. However, the invention can also be used with other cutting tools, especially those that have to be freed from cutting material from time to time.
  • the first step of the method according to the invention is to detect the fluctuations in the current which is taken up by the drive motor of the shaving apparatus, ie to generate a corresponding measurement signal. This is done by a sensor, for example a resistor in the motor circuit, from which voltage fluctuations proportional to the current fluctuations are tapped. However, the current fluctuations can also be detected by inductive or other components.
  • the second step of the method according to the invention consists of filtering the measurement signal. As a result, all of the fluctuations detected are filtered out whose frequency does not lie within a specific frequency range. This can be done, for example, by a low-pass filter that suppresses higher-frequency interference pulses originating from the motor.
  • the third step of the method according to the invention consists of evaluating the pulses. In the two simplest cases, this is done by counting the number or adding up the length of the pulses. An integration of the impulses is more precise.
  • the fourth step of the method according to the invention consists of comparing the count value, the total length, or the integrated area of the pulses with a reference value that corresponds to a specific quantity of material to be cut. The reaching or exceeding of the reference value is then displayed. This can be done in a manner known per se by means of an optical, acoustic or other display. If necessary, intermediate steps, such as the amplification of the measurement signal and / or the pulses, are also inserted.
  • a circuit arrangement for carrying out the method according to the invention is shown in shown in the drawing.
  • This circuit arrangement is very general for evaluation of current fluctuations, and therefore not only for cutting tools usable. Further configurations are described in the description.
  • the circuit arrangement according to the invention contains a sensor, a filter circuit, an evaluation circuit and a Display device.
  • the sensor consists of a measuring resistor R1, which is in the circuit of a is switched via a switch S1 on / off direct current motor M, which is powered by a two-cell battery AC1, AC2.
  • the measuring resistor is part of a voltage divider consisting of three resistors R1, R2, R6 on which the voltage of the accumulator is present. This also serves to power the Filter circuit, evaluation circuit and the display device. In other versions a battery or a power supply unit serves as a power supply.
  • the filter circuit consists of an active bandpass filter, which is a first low-pass filter R3 / C1 with a first cut-off frequency and a second low-pass filter R4 / C2 with a second limit frequency and an operational amplifier A contains.
  • the second low pass filter R4 / C2 is between the connection point of the measuring resistor R1 with the next resistor R2 of the voltage divider and the non-inverting input of the Operational amplifier A, and the first low-pass filter R3 / C1 between the connection point of the next resistor R2 with the third resistor R6 of the voltage divider and the inverting input of operational amplifier A is switched.
  • the output of the operational amplifier A is with the evaluation circuit IC and via a Resistor R5 connected to the positive pole of the accumulator.
  • the evaluation circuit consists of a microcontroller IC to which the display device D is connected. This has several segments that are used to display the Degree of contamination of the shaving head and the state of charge of the battery from Microcontroller IC can be controlled individually. The state of charge is shown in the the example shown in 20% increments. Of course, the clogging indicator also by means of a light emitting diode, an electroacoustic transducer or the like.
  • the microcontroller IC is connected to a device through which the count value and thus the contamination indicator are reset to zero can. This can be, for example, a switch S2, which switches on in a manner known per se
  • the shaving head is arranged so that when the shaving head is removed the reset is carried out automatically he follows.
  • the first low-pass filter R3 / C1 serves to suppress interference signals, which in particular are caused by the commutator of the DC motor M. It has one higher cut-off frequency than the second low-pass filter R4 / C2.
  • the bandpass characteristic of the Filter circuit results from the fact that a low-pass filter on the inverting Input and the other to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier A is connected.
  • the resistance R6 of the voltage divider creates an amplitude threshold set for the measurement signal, so that only signals with a certain Minimum size can be filtered and evaluated.
