Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a machine tool, in particular an electrically operable hand tool according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • Machine tools which serve at least one rotary drive of insert tools usually have latching clutches which limit a torque acting on the insert tool to a specific, preselected limit torque.
  • a torque acting on the insert tool to a specific, preselected limit torque.
  • Drilling machines, percussion drills or drilling / combi hammers is the pre-selected limit torque and thus the Kochrastkupplung a significant importance in accident prevention.
  • the preselected limit torque represents a compromise between the lowest possible torque load of the insert tool, the machine tool and / or an operator and the highest possible working torque for using large tool diameter of the insert tool.
  • the machine tool described above has the following operating procedure in common: If an operator determines that another limit torque of the overload clutch is required for a more favorable work progress, the operator adjusts the appropriate limit torque to an actuating device of the overload clutch. This applies at the required higher limit torque as well as at the required lower limit torque. So that in both switching direction manual intervention is required. In particular, during prolonged interruption of work and / or after a change of the insert tool with a lower required limit torque than the currently set limit torque can lead to undesirable effects of the high limit torque.
  • WO 2004/024398 A1 discloses a hammer drill with a two-stage coupling device, in which an automatic reset of the coupling device to the lowest possible limit torque is triggered as soon as the hammer drill is disconnected from the mains voltage.

  • Another advantage is to be considered that possible damage to a less stable - because eg smaller insert tool - are avoided by a too high applied limit torque by the automatic return to a lower, preferably to the lowest possible limit torque.
  • Particularly advantageous is the automatic reset to the lowest possible of the at least two limit torques of the coupling device of the machine tool.
  • the coupling device is at the lowest possible of the at least two at a change of the insert tool and / or at a change of the tool holder

  • an automatic reset is effected to the lowest possible of the at least two limit torques.
  • the coupling device is reset when inserting an insert tool into the tool holder, then a particularly comfortable and robust design can be realized in this way.
  • the coupling device is automatically reset to the lowest possible of the at least two limit torques when inserting the insert tool.
  • an automatic reset of the coupling device is effected upon actuation of a second actuating element for changing the replaceable tool holder.
  • an automatic reset of the coupling device is effected upon actuation of a second actuating element for changing the replaceable tool holder.
  • a torque selection device of the coupling device sets the lowest possible limit torque in an initial position, a particularly efficient implementation of the method according to the invention is achieved.
  • the torque selector device can be locked in the currently selected shift position.
  • a very flexible embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized by the following steps: a removal and / or insertion and / or change of an insert tool in the tool holder and / or the interchangeable tool holder is detected and the torque selection device, which is provided on the coupling device is acted so o that the torque selector is returned to its original position.
  • the coupling device is reset when the power supply of the machine tool is interrupted.
  • the coupling device is automatically reset to the lowest possible of the at least two limit torques.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour faire fonctionner une machine-outil, en particulier une machine-outil portative électrique, comprenant au moins un arbre d'entraînement d'outil (23, 323, 623) pour entraîner un outil en rotation directement ou indirectement. Ledit outil est logé dans un porte-outil relié à l'arbre d'entraînement d'outil (23, 323, 623), en particulier relié de manière amovible à la machine-outil. L'arbre d'entraînement d'outil (23, 323, 623) peut être accouplé à un dispositif d'entraînement (14, 314, 614) au moyen d'un dispositif d'embrayage (44, 44a, 44b, 44c, 45, 344, 345, 644, 645). Ce dispositif d'embrayage (44, 44a, 44b, 44c, 45, 344, 345, 644, 645) présente au moins deux couples limites différents, pouvant être sélectionnés de préférence par un opérateur. En cas de changement d'outil et/ou de changement de porte-outil, le couple limite du dispositif d'embrayage (44, 44a, 44b, 44c, 45, 344, 345, 644, 645) est ramené à une valeur réduite, de préférence à la valeur minimale.
