Description

Die Erfindung bezeichnet ein zumindest teilweise drehendes Elektrohandwerkzeuggerät wie ein Handschraubgerät, eine Handbohrmaschine oder einen Bohrhammer, ein zugeordnetes drehend setzbares Befestigungselement wie einen Anker, sowie ein zugeordnetes Verfahren zur Montage des drehend setzbaren Befestigungselementes.The invention relates to an at least partially rotating electric hand tool device such as a handheld screwdriver, a hand drill or a hammer drill, an associated one Fastening element that can be rotated, such as an anchor, and an associated method for assembling the rotating fastener.

Befestigungselemente wie Anker werden zumeist in Sacklöcher von Baustoffen eingesetzt, um als fest fixierte Punkte eine weitere Montage mit üblichen Verbindungsmitteln zu ermöglichen. Im Baugewerbe werden heute Anker mit vorgegebenem Installationsmoment entweder mit einem Drehmomentschlüssel, oder lediglich nach Gefühl angezogen. Unter Verwendung des Drehmomentschlüssels ist der Anzugsvorgang relativ zeitaufwendig und kompliziert, bei Anzug nach Gefühl ist die Setzqualität nicht gewährleistet. In beiden Fällen werden hohe Anforderungen an den Nutzer gestellt.Fastening elements such as anchors are mostly used in blind holes in building materials, to as further fixed points a further assembly with usual connecting means enable. In the construction industry, anchors with a given installation moment are used today either with a torque wrench, or just tightened by feeling. Under Using the torque wrench, the tightening process is relatively time consuming and complicated, the suit quality is not guaranteed when suiting by feel. In both cases high demands are placed on the user.

Nach der US4023373 oder der US5228250 sind Anker mit mechanischen Mitteln gegen Überschreitung eines vordefinierten optimalen Solldrehmoments ausgestattet.According to US4023373 or US5228250, anchors are mechanically opposed If a predefined optimal target torque is exceeded.

In der Industrie, wie in der Automobilindustrie, ist ein drehmomentkontrollierter Schraubprozess üblich. Nach der JP6031646A2 stoppt ein Handschraubgerät, welche laufend das Istdrehmoment kontrolliert, den Drehantrieb automatisch bei Erreichen eines vorgewählten Solldrehmoments.In industry, like in the automotive industry, is a torque controlled Screwing process common. According to JP6031646A2, a hand screwdriver stops which the actual torque is continuously checked, the rotary drive automatically when a preselected target torque.

Nach der JP7308864A2 wird bei einem Schlagschrauber nach Erreichen einer, über die Folge der Spitzenwerte der gemessenen Drehstösse objektiv ermittelten, optimalen Befestigung reibschlüssiger Verbindungsmittel wie Schraubverbindungen der Drehantrieb gestoppt. Eine derartige objektive Ermittlung der optimalen Befestigung ist bei definiert vorzuspannenden Befestigungselementen nicht anwendbar.According to JP7308864A2, when using an impact wrench after reaching one, the Result of the peak values of the measured torsional impacts, optimally determined fastening frictional connection means such as screw connections of the rotary drive stopped. Such an objective determination of the optimal fastening is to be carried out in a defined manner Fasteners not applicable.

Nach der US5404775 wird bei einen Elektrowinkelschrauber das Istdrehmoment durch Dehnmessstreifen um ein Planetengetriebe bestimmt und dieses von einem Gerätevorsatz drahtlos über allgemeine Übertragungsmittel an eine Gegenstelle mit dem Controller übertragen, welcher bei Erreichen des Solldrehmoments den Antrieb automatisch beendet. Die über eine Eingabeeinheit erfolgende Vorgabe des Solldrehmoments stellt hohe Anforderungen an den Nutzer.According to US5404775, the actual torque is in an electric angle screwdriver Strain gauges determined around a planetary gear and this from a device attachment wirelessly transmitted to a remote station with the controller via general transmission means, which automatically ends the drive when the target torque is reached. The above An input unit that specifies the target torque places high demands the user.

Zudem sind aus der WO8603314 Barkodeetiketten zur Identifikation, aus der WO86/02186 passive Folienschwingkreise zur Identifikation sowie aus der WO89/05984 fremdgespeiste aktive Transponder zur Identifikation, Beantwortung von Fragen und Speicherung von Daten bekannt, welche einfach in hohen Stückzahlen herstellbar mit Massenprodukten verbunden werden können.In addition, WO8603314 contains bar code labels for identification, and WO86 / 02186 passive foil resonant circuits for identification and externally powered from WO89 / 05984 active transponders for identification, answering questions and storing data known, which is easy to manufacture in large quantities associated with mass products can be.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht in einer weitgehend nutzerunabhängigen Realisierung und einem Verfahren für die optimale Befestigung von definiert vorzuspannenden Befestigungselementen.The object of the invention is a largely user-independent implementation and a method for the optimal fastening of fastening elements to be preloaded in a defined manner.

Die Aufgabe wird im wesentlichen durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The task is essentially solved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous further developments result from the subclaims.

Im wesentlichen wird über ein am Befestigungselement oder dessen Transportbehältnis befestigtes Identifizierungsmittel oder über einen zugeordneten Identifizierungsmittelträger wie eine Chipkarte durch eine Sende/Empfangseinheit wie ein Scannersystem oder ein Transpondersystem im Elektrohandwerkzeuggerät das optimale Solldrehmoment ermittelt, dieses beim Setzen des Befestigungselementes durch einen Mikrocontroller mit einem im Elektrohandwerkzeuggerät vom Mikrocontroller und einem Sensor laufend gemessenen Istdrehmoment verglichen und durch ein Steuermittel bei Erreichen des Solldrehmoments der Setzvorgang automatisch beendet.Essentially, it is via a fastener or its transport container fixed identification means or via an assigned identification means carrier like a chip card by a transceiver unit like a scanner system or a Transponder system in the electrical hand tool device determines the optimal target torque, this when setting the fastener by a microcontroller with an im Electric hand tool device measured continuously by the microcontroller and a sensor Actual torque compared and by a control means when the target torque is reached the setting process ends automatically.

Durch diese, über die drahtlose Datenübertragung vom Identifizierungsmittel zum Elektrohandwerkzeuggerät weitgehend nutzerunabhängige, automatische Einstellung des Solldrehmoments wird verbunden mit der Kontrolle des Istdrehmoments eine optimale Befestigung von definiert vorzuspannenden Befestigungselementen erzielt.Through this, via the wireless data transmission from the identification means to the handheld power tool largely user-independent, automatic setting of the target torque an optimal fastening is connected with the control of the actual torque achieved by fasteners defined to be pre-tensioned.

Als Steuermittel ist vorteilhaft eine elektronische Motorsteuereinheit innerhalb der Stromzufuhr des Elektroantriebs sowie weiter vorteilhaft eine elektronisch steuerbare Kupplung bzw. eine elektronisch steuerbare mechanische oder elektrische Bremse vorhanden.An electronic motor control unit within the power supply is advantageous as the control means of the electric drive and further advantageously an electronically controllable clutch or an electronically controllable mechanical or electrical brake is available.

Vorteilhaft beinhaltet das Identifikationsmittel, bspw. ein an oder in dem Befestigungselement an einer unwesentlichen Position befestigten, kleinen Barkode, Folienschwingkreis oder Transponder, neben der Information zum Solldrehmoment noch weitere Daten wie den zugeordneten Bohrlochdurchmesser, Bohrungstiefe, die Länge des Bohrers oder die Art des Bohrers, welche weiter vorteilhaft auf einem von dem Mikrocontroller gesteuerten und sichtbar auf einen am, die Sende/Empfangseinheit und den Mikrocontroller beinhaltenden, Gehäuse angeordneten Display darstellbar sind.The identification means advantageously includes, for example, one on or in the fastening element small barcode, film resonant circuit or attached at an insignificant position Transponder, in addition to the information about the target torque, other data such as assigned hole diameter, hole depth, the length of the drill or the type of Drill, which is further advantageous on a controlled and by the microcontroller visible to an am containing the transmitter / receiver unit and the microcontroller, Housing arranged display can be shown.

Die Sende/Empfangseinheit ist je nach Identifikationsmittel bei dem Barkode ein Laserscanner/Lichtempfänger, bei dem Folienschwingkreis ein frequenzveränderlicher Radiosender/Radioempfänger oder bei dem Transponder eine Lese- oder Schreib/Lese-Einheit.Depending on the means of identification for the barcode, the transmitter / receiver unit is a laser scanner / light receiver, in the case of the film resonant circuit, a variable-frequency radio transmitter / radio receiver or a read or write / read unit on the transponder.

Das Verfahren umfasst im wesentlichen die Schritte:

  • Applizierung des sortenspezifischen Identifikationsmittels am Befestigungselement und/oder dessen Transportbehältnis und/oder an einem zugeordneten Identifikationsmittelträger.
  • Zum Setzen wird vom Nutzer das Befestigungselement und/oder dessen Transportbehältnis notwendig in eine räumliche Nähe zu dem zumindest teilweise drehenden, die definierte Vorspannung aufbringenden, Elektrohandwerkzeuggerät positioniert.
  • Vor und/oder während der zumindest teilweise drehenden Bewegung zum Aufbringen der definierten Vorspannung auf das Befestigungselement wird der definierte Solldrehmoment des Identifikationsmittels durch die Sende/Empfangseinheit des Elektrohandwerkzeuggerätes automatisch und/oder manuell geschaltet ausgelesen.
  • Während der zumindest teilweise, unter Erzeugung eines Istdrehmoments, drehenden Bewegung wird von einem Sensor und einem Mikrocontroller das Istdrehmoment ermittelt und dieses mit dem Solldrehmoment verglichen.
  • Nach dem Erreichen des Wertes des Solldrehmoments durch das Istdrehmoment, wodurch das Befestigungselement definiert vorgespannt und somit optimal gesetzt ist, wird vom Mikrocontroller der Drehantrieb gestoppt.
  • Vorteilhaft kann der Mikrocontroller in einem letzten Schritt den Kraftfluss zwischen einem träge nachlaufenden Elektroantrieb und dem Werkzeug mittels einer dazwischen angeordneten, elektronisch schaltbaren Kupplung wie einer Magnetkupplung unterbrechen bzw. eine aktive mechanische und/oder elektrische Abbremsung des Elektromotors aktivieren.
The process essentially comprises the following steps:
  • Application of the type-specific identification means on the fastening element and / or its transport container and / or on an assigned identification means carrier.
  • For setting, the fastening element and / or its transport container is necessarily positioned by the user in spatial proximity to the at least partially rotating electrical hand tool device which applies the defined prestress.
  • Before and / or during the at least partially rotating movement for applying the defined pretension to the fastening element, the defined target torque of the identification means is read out automatically and / or manually switched by the transmitting / receiving unit of the electric hand tool device.
  • During the at least partially rotating movement, generating an actual torque, the sensor and a microcontroller determine the actual torque and compare it with the target torque.
  • After the value of the target torque has been reached by the actual torque, as a result of which the fastening element is preloaded in a defined manner and is thus optimally set, the rotary drive is stopped by the microcontroller.
  • In a final step, the microcontroller can advantageously interrupt the flow of force between a sluggish, trailing electric drive and the tool by means of an electronically switchable coupling, such as a magnetic coupling, arranged between them, or activate an active mechanical and / or electrical braking of the electric motor.
