Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to claim 1.
  • An electric hand tool for example a cordless screwdriver or a hammer drill, is set up to perform a mechanical task using electrical energy.
  • the hand tool is subject to wear that depends on its load. In general, the wear is greater the longer the load lasts and the stronger it is. However, it is not easy to determine when the wear is so great that the hand tool is no longer functional. An average operating time or the age of the hand tool have not proven to be reliable parameters.
  • Indicators are used on some power tools to announce or avoid failure or impending failure of an element.
  • a carbon brush of an electric motor can have a wear contact that lights up an LED when the carbon brush is worn out.
  • EP 1 398 119 A1 proposes using a safety system in an electric hand tool in which a probability of the hand tool jamming is calculated and, if this probability is above a certain value, triggering a disconnection mechanism.
  • An object underlying the invention is to provide an improved technique for checking an electric hand tool.
  • the invention solves this problem by means of the subject matter of the independent claims. Subclaims reflect preferred embodiments.
  • a method for checking an electric hand tool comprises the steps of detecting a load on the electric hand tool; determining a probability of failure of the electric hand tool based on the load; and issuing an indication if the probability of failure exceeds a predetermined threshold.
  • a user of the hand tool can be given early warning of an imminent failure of the hand tool.
  • a repair or maintenance measure can be initiated early, so that the availability of the hand tool is improved.
  • Different threshold values can be specified for different purposes. If the hand tool is used, for example, in the rescue service, the threshold value can be chosen to be lower than if the hand tool is intended for use by a do-it-yourselfer.
  • the probability of failure is determined in relation to a predetermined statistical usability.
  • the usability can indicate what power is provided by the electrical hand tool.
  • the usability can include a mechanical performance, for example. For example, an indication can be issued if the probability that the usability is less than 80% is greater than 95%. By considering the usability, a normal wear process of the hand tool can be mapped in an improved way.
  • different usabilities can be predetermined and different notices can be output when the associated usability is no longer met with the determined probability of failure. For example, an advance notice, an announcement and an indication that the hand tool should be serviced can be given in succession.
  • the failure probability of an element of the electric hand tool is determined and the failure probability of the electric hand tool is determined on the basis of the determined failure probability.
  • the element can in particular comprise an assembly or a component.
  • the failure probabilities of a number of elements can also be considered and linked to one another.
  • a user of the hand tool can be given a recommendation as to which maintenance or repair work is required.
  • the probability of an unexpected failure can thus be significantly reduced. Repair costs can be reduced.
  • damage to parts that are not directly visible or damage caused by invisible wear and tear e.g. cracking
  • the probability of at least one concrete damage to the hand tool can be determined and the probability of failure of the hand tool can be determined on the basis of this probability.
  • an irreversibly demagnetized motor for example, an irreversibly demagnetized motor, a breakage of a locking body, a bending or breakage of a switching disc in a tool lock, wear of a pressed-in pinion, excessive clutch torque, wear of a contact holder, discharge of a battery in a communication module, a failure of a sensor, an aging or defective energy store or a fault in the overall system of the electric hand tool are taken into account.
  • the load and function information of the electric hand tool is transmitted to a central instance, with the probability of failure of the electric hand tool being determined on the basis of load and function information from a large number of comparable electric tools.
  • a computer program product includes program code means for performing the method described above when the computer program product runs on a processing device or is stored on a computer-readable data medium.
  • a control device for an electric hand tool comprises a scanning device for detecting a load on the electric hand tool; processing means for determining a probability of failure of the electric hand tool based on the load; and an output device for outputting an indication if the probability of failure exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
  • control device can be set up to partially or completely carry out the method described above.
  • processing device may comprise a programmable microcomputer and the method described above may be in the form of a computer program product for execution on the processing device. Additional features and advantages of the method can therefore also apply to the control device and vice versa.
