Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bolt-firing device with a combustion chamber in which an electrically driven device for generating turbulence or for purging the combustion chamber is arranged, and with an electrical energy storage device.
  • the invention further relates to a method for operating such a fastener setting device.
  • a setting tool which is operated with electrical energy from a rechargeable battery or via a power cable from a socket.
  • a setting tool which is operated with electrical energy from a rechargeable battery or via a transformer with a power cable from a socket.
  • the transformer can be inserted in a battery compartment of the setting tool.
  • the object of the invention is to further simplify the operation of a bolt-firing device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a bolt-firing device with a combustion chamber in which an electrically driven device for generating turbulence or for purging the combustion chamber is arranged, and with an electrical energy storage device, in that the electrical energy storage device for operation with non-rechargeable primary cells and / or is designed with rechargeable secondary cells, the bolt-setting device comprising an identification device for recognizing primary cells or secondary cells.
  • the identification device in particular simplifies the operation of a bolt-actuating device with only one battery compartment for holding different ones Battery cells. After the battery cells have been inserted, the device recognizes what the cells are.
  • the bolt-setting tool according to the invention is preferably a portable, power-operated bolt-setting tool.
  • gas for example from a gas cartridge
  • oxygen or air to form an ignitable mixture.
  • the ignitable mixture When the ignitable mixture is ignited, it suddenly expands to drive a working piston.
  • Conventional bolt-operated tools are operated with accumulators that contain rechargeable secondary cells. The accumulator must be charged while the stud gun is in operation, which can lead to disruptive interruptions.
  • the invention enables operation of the bolt-actuating device with non-rechargeable primary cells, which can be easily replaced if necessary, without longer charging times occurring.
  • two different types of battery cells can be used.
  • the bolt-setting device can comprise a battery cell compartment which is suitable both for receiving primary cells and for receiving secondary cells.
  • the bolt-actuating device can also have different battery compartments, one of which is suitable for receiving primary cells and another for receiving secondary cells.
  • a preferred exemplary embodiment of the bolt-firing device is characterized in that the electrical energy storage device is designed for operation with non-rechargeable, exchangeable primary cells.
  • the non-rechargeable primary cells can be exchanged quickly and easily.
  • the non-rechargeable primary cells can, for example, be accommodated in an easily accessible battery compartment that can be opened and closed quickly and easily.
  • the identification device is a measuring device for measuring a Internal resistance of primary and / or secondary cells. Depending on the size of the internal resistance of the battery cells, for example on the basis of stored comparison values, the device recognizes which type of cell it is.
  • a further preferred exemplary embodiment of the bolt-firing device is characterized in that the identification device is connected and / or combined with an electronic control device that controls an electric motor that drives the device for generating turbulence or for purging the combustion chamber.
  • the electric motor is controlled differently via the electronic control device depending on whether the electrical energy storage device contains primary cells or secondary cells.
  • the device for generating turbulence or for purging the combustion chamber comprises at least one fan.
  • the fan is driven by the electric motor.
  • the electrical energy required to drive the electric motor is provided by the electrical energy storage device.
  • the above-mentioned object is alternatively or additionally achieved in that, before the bolt-setting device is operated, it is detected internally in the device whether the electrical energy storage device comprises non-rechargeable primary cells and / or rechargeable secondary cells. This can prevent undesirable malfunctions in the operation of the bolt-actuating device, for example through the use of incorrect battery cells. According to a further aspect of the invention, it is also detected with the aid of the identification device whether a common battery compartment, which is suitable both for holding primary cells and for holding secondary cells, contains only primary cells or only secondary cells. According to a further aspect of the invention, the bolt-actuating device can also be suitable for the simultaneous use of primary cells and secondary cells.
  • a preferred exemplary embodiment of the method is characterized in that, depending on the type of energy storage cells used in the bolt-firing device, different undervoltage cut-off voltages are used in which the bolt-firing device is switched off. This makes it more stable in a simple way Operation of the bolt gun over the life of the battery cells used, which are also referred to as energy storage cells.
  • a further preferred exemplary embodiment of the method is characterized in that a charge status display device of the bolt-firing device is switched differently depending on the type of energy storage cells used in the bolt-firing device or. According to a further aspect of the invention, both when using primary cells and when using secondary cells, it is indicated how long the bolt-setting tool can still be used with the battery cells currently in use.

  • the housing 2 comprises a handle 4, on which the bolt-setting device 1 can be gripped for driving a fastening element, which emerges from the bolt-setting device 1 at a bolt-setting end 5 and can be driven into a subsurface.
  • the fastening elements used are preferably provided via an internal magazine 6, which is attached in the vicinity of the bolt-setting end 5 of the bolt-setting device 1.
  • the fastening elements are preferably automatically removed individually from the magazine 6 and provided at the end 5 of the bolt.
  • a gas can or gas cartridge 8 Energy required to drive the fastening elements into the ground is provided in a gas can or gas cartridge 8 in the interior of the bolt-actuating device 1.
  • the gas cartridge 8 can be accommodated in a gas can compartment and can be connected to a combustion chamber or a combustion chamber 12 via an adjustable or controllable metering valve 10 and a gas line 11.
  • gas from the gas cartridge 8 is mixed with air to form a combustible mixture which is ignited to drive a fastening element, such as a bolt or a nail, into the underground.
  • a fastening element such as a bolt or a nail
  • the energy required for driving is transmitted, for example, via a working piston (not shown) from the combustion chamber 12 to a fastening element at the end 5 of the bolt.
  • a device 14 is arranged in the combustion chamber 12, which serves to generate turbulence in the combustion chamber 12, to flush and / or to cool the combustion chamber 12.
  • the device 14 comprises a fan 15 which is driven by an electric motor 18.
  • the electric motor 18 is controlled via an electronic control device 20.
