Definitions
- the present invention relates to a screwdriver assembly with a housing, a drive assembly arranged in the housing, which has a motor, in particular an electric motor, a bit holder for fixing a screw bit, which is connected to an output shaft of the drive assembly in a rotationally fixed but axially displaceable manner relative to this Resetting means which press the bit holder into an axially front starting position, a sensor which is designed and / or configured to detect an axial displacement of the bit holder from its starting position that is directed backwards into the housing against the resetting force of the elastic resetting means, and control electronics , which is coupled to the sensor and the motor to turn the motor on and off in response to output signals from the sensor.
- the invention also relates to a method for operating a screwdriver arrangement.
- Screwdriver assemblies for tightening or loosening screws are well known. These include a housing, a motor arranged in the housing with an output shaft, a bit holder for fixing a screw bit, which is connected to the output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, and a trigger, such as a start lever or start button.
- the motor is activated by manually actuating or pressing the respective trigger.
- the problem here is that when the motor is activated, before a screw bit received in the bit holder is pressed sufficiently forcefully against a screw to be rotated, the screw bit is disengaged during the rotation the screw head profile of the screw jumps. This leads to damage or high wear of the screw head profile as well as incorrect or insufficient tightening torque that is exerted on the screw. As a result, a qualitative statement on the tightening torque can no longer be guaranteed.
- screwdriver arrangements are known from the prior art in which the triggering of a screwing process is force-controlled.
- the US5701961 , US4442738 , WO2015 / 123660A1 and CN2815620Y each a screwdriver arrangement with a so-called "push-to-start" function, which enables the motor to be activated automatically as soon as a screw bit received in the bit holder is pressed with a predetermined contact pressure against a screw to be turned.
- the screwdriver arrangement of the CN2815620Y comprises, like the aforementioned screwdriver arrangements without a "push-to-start” function, a housing, a motor arranged in the housing with an output shaft and a bit holder for fixing a screw bit.
- the bit holder is connected to the output shaft in a rotationally fixed but axially displaceable manner relative to the output shaft.
- the screwdriver arrangement further comprises a helical compression spring which is arranged between the output shaft and the bit holder and which presses the bit holder into an axially front starting position, a digital Hall sensor which is arranged and formed on the housing, and which is directed backwards into the housing against the restoring force of the helical compression spring to detect axial displacement of the bit holder from its starting position, a magnetic element arranged on the bit holder and a motor control circuit, which is operationally connected to both the motor and the digital Hall sensor, to the Mo signals of the sensor on and off.
- the digital Hall sensor As soon as the digital Hall sensor detects the presence of a magnetic field on the digital Hall sensor after a predetermined distance covered by the magnetic element, i.e. as soon as a non-zero magnetic field is measured, the digital Hall sensor outputs a digital switching signal to the motor control circuit, which then switches the motor on. As long as a magnetic field is measured, the motor remains activated. As soon as the digital Hall sensor no longer detects the presence of a magnetic field on the digital Hall sensor, ie as soon as a magnetic field is measured equal to zero, the digital Hall sensor again outputs a digital switching signal to the motor control circuit, which switches the motor off. The motor control only serves to switch the motor on or off when it receives a switching signal.
- the digital Hall sensor detects the magnetic field of the magnetic element and the motor is switched on, cannot be varied without either replacing the Hall sensor with a more sensitive or less sensitive Hall sensor or the magnetic element with a magnetic element to exchange with a stronger or weaker magnetic field.
- a rotary tool system that includes a rotary tool for driving fasteners.
- the rotary tool has a housing and a drive arrangement which is arranged in the housing and comprises a motor and a transmission.
- the transmission is operatively connected to the engine and includes an output shaft.
- a chuck arrangement can be connected to the output shaft in such a way that that a shaft of the chuck assembly is slidable back and forth along part of the length of the output shaft and is axially movable with respect to the remainder of the rotary tool.
- a receptacle for a fastening element is provided at a front end of the chuck arrangement and a ring magnet is arranged at a rear end of the chuck arrangement.
- a WD device in the form of a Hall sensor is provided.
- the shaft of the chuck arrangement is pressed by means of a spring into an axially front starting position in which the Hall sensor does not exert any tension. If the shaft is pressed backwards against the restoring force of the spring, the Hall sensor outputs a voltage that is maximum when the shaft is fully retracted backwards.
- the level of the magnetic field strength is proportional to the proximity of the Hall sensor to the magnet. When the magnetic field strength acting on the Hall sensor is increased, a higher voltage is output by the Hall sensor.
- the voltage output by the Hall sensor is used to drive the motor, with the motor rotating faster when the output voltage is increased.
- the lathe tool system includes the US 2007/0144753 A1 a control which is programmable by means of a laptop using a graphical user interface under Windows with a target torque, a target speed and / or a target angle which must be reached or exceeded in order for a connection to be considered to be successfully attached.
- Strain gauges are also provided, which record a torque of the motor and send the recorded torque information to the controller. In this way, the controller can continuously monitor the torque.
- the control can be programmable in such a way that it deactivates the turning tool when a preselected cut-off torque stored in the control is reached.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a screwdriver arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset which allows the contact pressure exerted on the bit holder, at which the motor is triggered, to be adjusted without structural changes to the screwdriver arrangement.
- the invention is therefore based on the idea of creating a motorized screwdriver arrangement in which the release force, i.e. the pressing force that has to be exerted on the bit holder so that the motor is switched on, can be set via control electronics.
- a switching point for the motor can therefore be set as a reference, which corresponds to a desired axial position / length of the axial adjustment path that the bit holder must have reached or exceeded during its rearward axial adjustment in order to switch the motor on can.
- the bit holder As soon as the bit holder is pressed against a screw to be rotated, it moves axially backwards into the housing from its starting position against the restoring force of the elastic restoring means, which in particular have a helical compression spring, plate spring and / or rubber spring.
- a set switching point corresponds to the position / length the axial displacement and the spring constant of the return means of a desired release force.
- the sensor detects the length of the axial adjustment path covered and / or the axial position of the bit holder.
- the sensor can be designed and / or set up to detect the length / position continuously and / or at predetermined, preferably evenly spaced points in time.
- the sensor transmits output signals corresponding to the recorded length / position or an output signal that changes corresponding to the recorded length / position to the control electronics.
- This / these output signal / output signals can be evaluated and, in contrast to the switching signals from the prior art, allow conclusions to be drawn about the contact pressure applied to the screw.
- the control electronics are now able to automatically switch the motor on / keep it switched on when the reference is reached or exceeded, but otherwise switch off the motor / to keep switched off.
- the control electronics therefore decide, based on a previously made user setting or user input on the control electronics, whether or not the motor is to be triggered.
- the triggering force can be set variably, for example depending on the screw bit used, without a structural change having to be made to the screwdriver arrangement.
- sufficient contact pressure is always ensured during the screwing process, whereby the risk of the screw bit slipping out during the screwing process is considerably reduced and the quality of the screw connection is increased.
- a specific value for the output signal is advantageous because it can be compared directly, that is, without conversion, with a recorded output signal.
- a specific contact pressure, a type of screw bit, a type of screw head profile or some other operational feature can also be set on the control electronics.
- the control electronics can be designed and / or set up to automatically set a specific value of the output signal that corresponds to the operation-related feature set by a user.

- the sensor can also be designed as an optical sensor.
- a plurality of optically detectable markings arranged one behind the other on the bit holder in the axial direction are then assigned to the optical sensor.
- the optical sensor is designed and / or set up to transmit a signal as an output signal to the control electronics, which signal represents a marking detected by it.
- the senor is arranged at the axial height of the elastic return means, the sensor being separated from the magnetic element or the optically detectable markings and / or the elastic return means in the radial direction, preferably only by a cavity filled with ambient air. If a magnetic field sensor is only separated from the magnetic element by air, the magnetic field of the magnetic element is not disturbed or shielded, so that the magnetic field can be detected without any problems. Since an optical sensor is only separated from the markings by air, the optical sensor ensures a clear view of the markings and thus problem-free optical detection of the markings.
- the control electronics can be internal control electronics arranged on the housing, in particular at least partially arranged within the housing, external control electronics arranged remotely from the housing and / or a higher-level controller.
- the control electronics expediently comprise a memory for storing several predefined references and / or a user interface or a setting and / or input means, in particular a touch-sensitive screen, a jog wheel and / or a membrane keyboard, for setting a reference, in particular stored in the memory.
