- the control circuit 51 is electrically connected to the battery temperature detection unit 14 through the temperature input terminal 34 and the temperature output terminal.
- the control circuit 51 is electrically connected to the battery cells 11 through power input terminals 38 and the power output terminals 16. The detailed configuration of the control circuit 51 will be described later.
- the driving control unit 52 is electrically connected to the motor M and the control circuit 51 and controls the rotation speed of the motor M.
- the driving control unit 52 of the present embodiment includes a switching device.
- the driving control unit 52 receives the signal output from the control circuit 51 and switches ON/OFF the switching device, thereby controlling the rotation speed of the motor M.
- the information input terminal 33 is electrically connected to the control circuit 51 and provided inside the battery pack mounting portion 32 of the main body housing 37. When the battery pack 1 is mounted in the battery pack mounting portion 32, the information input terminal 33 is connected to the rated voltage information output unit 13 serving as the information output terminal of the battery pack 1.
- the temperature input terminal 34 is electrically connected to the controller 5 and provided in the battery pack mounting portion 32 of the main body housing 37. When the battery pack 1 is mounted in the battery pack mounting portion 32, the temperature input terminal 34 is connected to the detected temperature output unit 15 serving as the temperature output terminal of the battery pack 1.
- the trigger switch 35 is driven in conjunction with a trigger handle 351 that can protrude from and retreat into the grip 31 of the main body housing 37.
- the trigger switch 35 switches ON/OFF states of the power supply switch 361 in conjunction with the ON/OFF operation.
- the power supply switch 361 is switched ON in conjunction therewith. Accordingly, the power is supplied to the control circuit 51 through the power supply switch 361 and a constant voltage source 39.
- the trigger switch 35 includes a variable resistor 352 for varying a resistance value in accordance with the pushed amount oof the trigger handle 351.
- the trigger switch 35 sets a resistance value in accordance with the pushed amount.
- the control circuit 51 receives the resistance value and outputs to the driving control unit 52 a signal to drive the motor M at a rotation speed in accordance with the resistance value. Further, when a user pushes the trigger handle 351 to a maximum extent, the motor M is driven at a full rotation speed. Meanwhile, when a user releases the trigger handle 351 so that the trigger handle 351 returns to the original position and then switches off the trigger switch 35, the trigger switch 35 short-circuits the voltage input terminals of the motor M, thereby limiting the driving of the motor M.
- the electric tool of the present embodiment when a user manipulates the trigger handle 351 to maintain the ON state, the current constantly flows through the battery cells 11 of the battery pack 1. Accordingly, the temperature of the battery cells 11 is increased. However, if the battery cells 11 are exposed to a high temperature, performance thereof is remarkably deteriorated. Therefore, the electric tool of the present embodiment is configured to detect a temperature of the battery cells 11 and allow the controller 5 to limit the output of the motor M when the temperature of the battery cells 11 exceeds a temperature threshold value. Particularly, the temperature threshold value of the present embodiment is determined by the rated voltage of the battery pack 1, which will be described hereinafter.
- the control circuit 51 includes a threshold value memory 61 in which a plurality of different temperature threshold values are stored, a temperature threshold value acquisition unit 62 for acquiring the temperature threshold values stored in the threshold value memory 61, and a comparison and determination unit 63 for comparing the temperature of the battery cells 11 and the temperature threshold value.
- the threshold value memory 61 previously stores therein a plurality of temperature threshold values corresponding to the rated voltage of the battery pack 1.
- the threshold value memory 61 stores a first temperature threshold value corresponding to a first rated voltage and a second temperature threshold value corresponding to a second rated voltage.
- a third temperature threshold value, a fourth temperature threshold value ... are stored in correspondence with a third rated voltage, a fourth rated voltage ....
- the temperature threshold value acquisition unit 62 is connected to the information input terminal 33, and thus is electrically connected to the rated voltage information output unit 13 serving as the information output terminal of the battery pack 1 when the battery pack 1 is mounted at the electric tool main body 3.
- the temperature threshold value acquisition unit 62 acquires the temperature threshold value corresponding thereto from the threshold value memory 61. For example, when the rated voltage of the battery pack 1 is a first rated voltage, if the information on the first rated voltage is input from the rated voltage information output unit 13, the temperature threshold value acquisition unit 62 acquires the first temperature threshold value from the threshold value memory 61.
- the temperature threshold value acquisition unit 62 acquires a temperature threshold value corresponding to the highest rated voltage among the temperature threshold values stored in the threshold value memory 61.
- the temperature threshold value acquisition unit 62 outputs the information on the temperature threshold value acquired from the threshold value memory 61 to the comparison and determination unit 63.
- the comparison and determination unit 63 is connected to the temperature input terminal 34 and thus is electrically connected to the detected temperature output unit 15 serving as the temperature output terminal of the battery pack 1 when the battery pack 1 is mounted at the electric tool main body 3. Accordingly, the data of the temperature value from the battery temperature detection unit 14 is input to the comparison and determination unit 63.
- the comparison and determination unit 63 compares the temperature value of the battery cells 11 with the temperature threshold value determined in accordance with the rated voltage. When it is determined that the temperature value of the battery cells 11 exceeds the temperature threshold value determined in accordance with the rated voltage, the comparison and determination unit 63 outputs a signal that limits the output of the motor M to the driving control unit 52.
- the driving control unit 52 controls the driving of the motor M based thereon. At this time, the driving control unit 52 limits the output of the motor M. The driving control unit 52 may stop the driving of the motor M or reduce the rotation speed of the motor M without stopping the motor M.
- the temperature threshold value can be set to a lower value (temperature threshold value B) obtained by deducting the amount of temperature increase due to overshoot of the battery pack 1 having a high rated voltage from the maximum tolerable temperature value (temperature threshold value A) (see Fig. 4A ).
- the temperature threshold value may be set to a value higher than the temperature threshold value B of the high rated voltage (temperature threshold value C) (see Fig. 4B ).
- the maximum tolerable temperature value indicates the maximum temperature value that hardly affects the performance of the battery cells 11.
- the conventional electric tool uniformly sets the temperature threshold value in consideration of the temperature increase due to the overshoot from the temperature threshold value A (i.e., the maximum tolerable temperature value) (see Fig. 5A ) in order to protect the battery cells 11 of the battery pack 1, i.e., in order to prevent the temperature thereof from reaching the maximum tolerable temperature.
- the temperature threshold value A i.e., the maximum tolerable temperature value
- the temperature threshold value is set to be considerably lower than the temperature threshold value A in consideration of the temperature increase due to the overshoot, the temperature threshold value becomes too low in the case of using the battery pack 1 having a low rated voltage in which the overshoot is suppressed. In other words, if the electric tool is used in that case, the output of the driving unit 4 is frequently limited, and the excessive limit may occur.
- the temperature threshold value is set to be slightly lower than the temperature threshold value A
- the temperature of the battery pack 1 exceeds the temperature threshold value A in the case of using the battery pack 1 having a high rated voltage in which the temperature increase due to the overshoot is high (see Fig. 5B ). This is because the temperature of the battery pack 1 having a high rated voltage is quickly increased while using the battery pack 1.
- the electric tool of the present embodiment determines the temperature threshold value in accordance with the rated voltage of the battery pack 1, so that the output of the driving unit 4 can be limited by using different temperature threshold values for the rated voltages ( Figs. 4A and 4B ). Therefore, the deterioration of the battery pack 1 can be prevented while preventing excessive limit of the output of the driving unit 4.
- the temperature threshold value acquisition unit 62 cannot identify the rated voltage information, the temperature threshold value corresponding to the highest rated voltage is acquired as the temperature threshold value. Therefore, if the information of the rated voltage cannot be transferred to the controller 5, the battery cells 11 of the battery pack 1 can be prevented from reaching a high temperature to be deteriorated.
- the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 6 , 7A and 7B .
- the second embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, so that like reference numerals will be used for like parts and redundant description will be omitted. Only the differences will be described mainly.
- the configuration of the control circuit 51 of the controller 5 and the configuration of the battery temperature detection unit 2 are different from those of the first embodiment, and other configurations are the same.
- the battery temperature detection unit 2 of the present embodiment detects the temperature of the battery cells 11 at a predetermined time interval.
- the battery temperature detection unit 2 is formed of a temperature detection element (e.g., a thermister).
- the battery temperature detection unit 2 converts the detected temperature of the battery cells 11 to electrical information which can be output.
- the control circuit 51 of the present embodiment includes a temperature comparison and determination unit 71, a threshold value memory 72 having a count threshold value storage unit 721 and a temperature threshold value storage unit 722, a consecutive excess count unit 73, a count threshold value acquisition unit 74, and a control start determination unit 75.
- the temperature comparison and determination unit 71 is connected to the temperature input terminal 34 (see Fig. 3 ) and thus is electrically connected to the detected temperature output unit 15 serving as the temperature output terminal when the battery pack 1 is mounted at the electric tool main body 3. Accordingly, the data of the temperature value of the battery cells 11 is input from the battery temperature detection unit 2 to the temperature comparison and determination unit 71.
- the temperature comparison and determination unit 71 acquires a predetermined temperature threshold value stored in the threshold value memory 72. Accordingly, the temperature comparison and determination unit 71 determines whether or not the temperature value of the battery cells 11 exceeds a predetermined temperature threshold value.
- the temperature comparison and determination unit 71 outputs the determined information to the consecutive excess count unit 73.
- the consecutive excess count unit 73 counts "+1" when the temperature comparison and determination unit 71 determines that "the temperature of the battery cells 11 exceeds the temperature threshold value.” Meanwhile, the consecutive excess count unit 73 resets the number that has been counted when the temperature comparison and determination unit 71 determines that "the temperature value of the battery cells 11 is smaller than the temperature threshold value.” In other words, the consecutive excess count unit 73 counts the number of times of consecutive determinations that the temperature of the battery cells 11 exceeds the temperature threshold value.
- the threshold value memory 72 includes a count threshold value storage unit 721 that stores the count threshold value, and a temperature threshold value storage unit 722 that stores a predetermined temperature threshold value.
- the count threshold value storage unit 721 previously stores therein a plurality of count number threshold values corresponding to the rated voltage of the battery pack 1 (hereinafter, referred to as "count threshold value").
- the count threshold value storage unit 721 stores therein a first rated voltage and a first count threshold value corresponding thereto, and a second count threshold value corresponding to a second rated voltage.
- a third count threshold value, a fourth count threshold value ... are stored in correspondence with a third rated voltage, a fourth rated voltage ....
- the temperature threshold value storage unit 722 stores a predetermined temperature threshold value. Unlike in the first embodiment, the temperature threshold value storage unit 722 stores a constant temperature threshold value.
- the count threshold value acquisition unit 74 is connected to the information input terminal 33 and thus connected to the rated voltage information output unit 13 serving as the information output terminal when the battery pack 1 is mounted at the electric tool main body 3.
- the count threshold value acquisition unit 74 acquires the count threshold value corresponding thereto from the threshold value memory 72.
- the count threshold value acquisition unit 74 acquires the first count threshold value from the threshold value memory 72.
- the count threshold value acquisition unit 74 acquires a count threshold value corresponding to the highest rated voltage among the count threshold values stored in the threshold value memory 72.
- the count threshold value acquisition unit 74 outputs the information on the count threshold value acquired from the threshold value memory 72 to the control start determination unit 75.
- the control start determination unit 75 compares the count number of the consecutive excess count unit 73 with the count threshold value. When it is determined that the count number exceeds the count threshold value determined in accordance with the rated voltage, the control start determination unit 75 outputs a signal to start to limit the output of the motor M to the driving control unit 52.
- the electric tool of the present embodiment detects the temperature of the battery cells 11 at a predetermined time interval and determines whether or not the limit of the output of the driving unit 4 is to be started based thereon. Therefore, the output of the driving unit 4 can be accurately limited.
- the electric tool of the present embodiment detects the temperature of the battery cells 11 at a predetermined time interval and counts the number of consecutive determinations that the measured temperature of the battery cells 11 exceeds a predetermined temperature threshold value. Further, when the counted number reaches a predetermined number, the output of the driving unit 4 is limited first. In general, when the limit of the output of the driving unit 4 is started, a time lag occurs after the temperature of the battery cells 11 reaches a predetermined temperature threshold value (see Fig. 7B ). At this time, if the battery pack 1 having a high rated voltage is used, the temperature may be increased considerably during the time lag.
- the time lag can be reduced by using a small number of count threshold values (see Fig. 7A ). Further, in the case of using the battery pack 1 having a low rated voltage, the electric tool of the present embodiment can operate in accordance with various states by using a large number of count threshold values.
- the electric tool of the present embodiment can prevent the temperature of the battery cells 11 from being increased considerably by the time lag until the start of the control after the temperature of the battery cells 11 reaches the temperature threshold value. Therefore, in accordance with the electric tool of the present embodiment, the deterioration of the battery pack 1 can be prevented.
- the electric tool of the present embodiment acquires acquires the count threshold value corresponding to the highest rated voltage as the count threshold value. Therefore, if the information of the rated voltage is not transferred to the controller 5, the battery cells 11 of the battery pack 1 can be prevented from reaching a high temperature and being deteriorated.
- a constant temperature threshold value is used as the temperature threshold value.
- the temperature threshold value may be determined in accordance with the rated voltage of the battery pack 1.
