Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for detecting a first operating state of a handheld power tool, and a handheld power tool set up to carry out the method.
  • An impact wrench of this type includes, for example, a structure in which an impact force in a rotating direction is transmitted to a screw element by a rotation force of a hammer.
  • the impact wrench which has this structure, includes a motor, a hammer to be driven by the motor, an am boss which is hit by the hammer, and a tool.
  • the motor built into a housing is driven, the hammer being driven by the motor, the anvil in turn being struck by the rotating hammer and an impact force being applied to the tool, with two different operating states, namely "no impact operation” and " Schlag too "can be distinguished.
  • EP 2 599 589 B1 also discloses an impact wrench with a motor, with a hammer and a rotational speed detection unit, where the hammer is driven by the motor.
  • Knowledge of the current operating status is required for the provision of intelligent tool functions.
  • An identification of the same is carried out in the prior art, for example, by monitoring the operating variables of the electric motor, such as speed and electric motor current.
  • the operating parameters are examined to determine whether certain limit values and / or threshold values are reached.
  • Corresponding evaluation methods work with absolute threshold values and / or signal gradients.
  • the disadvantage here is that a fixed limit value and / or threshold value can practically only be perfectly set for one application. As soon as the application changes, the associated current or speed values or their temporal progressions also change, and impact detection based on the set limit value and / or threshold value or their temporal progression no longer works.
  • additional sensors such as acceleration sensors, are used to infer the operating mode from the vibration states of the tool.

  • the frequency-based comparison method includes at least bandpass filtering and / or frequency analysis.
  • the comparative comparison method comprises at least the parameter estimation and / or the cross-correlation. The frequency-based and comparative comparison methods are described in more detail below.
  • the input signal transformed to a variable correlating with time, if necessary as described, is filtered via a bandpass whose pass band represents the predetermined threshold value.
  • the pass band results from the state-specific model signal form 240. It is also conceivable that the pass band corresponds to a frequency defined in connection with the state-typical model signal form 240. In the event that amplitudes of this frequency exceed a predetermined limit value, as is the case in the first operating state, the comparison in method step S2 then leads to the result that the signal of the operating variable 200 equals the state-typical model signal form 240, and that the first operating state is thus executed.
  • an amplitude limit value can in this embodiment can be interpreted as a method step S2a following method step S2 of a quality determination of the correspondence of the state-typical model signal shape 240 with the signal of the operating variable 200, on the basis of which it is decided in method step S3 whether the first operating state is present or not.
  • the signal of the operational variable 200 is transformed from a time domain into the frequency domain with appropriate weighting of the frequencies on the basis of the frequency analysis, for example the fast Fourier transformation (FFT),

  • Frequency analysis in this form is well known as a mathematical tool for signal analysis from many areas of technology and is used, among other things, to approximate measured signals as series developments of weighted periodic harmonic functions of different wavelengths.
  • the weighting factors indicate whether and to what extent the corresponding harmonic functions of a certain wavelength are present in the examined signal.
  • the frequency analysis can be used to determine whether and with what amplitude the frequency assigned to the state-typical model signal shape 240 is present in the signal of the operating variable 200.
  • a limit value of the amplitude can be established, which is a measure of the degree of agreement of the signal of the operating variable 200 with the state-specific model signal form 240. If the amplitude of the frequency assigned to the state-typical model signal shape 240 in the signal of the operating variable 200 exceeds this limit value, it is determined in method step S3 that the first operating state is present.
  • the signal of the operating variable 200 is compared with the state-typical model signal form 240 in order to find out whether the measured signal of the operating variable 200 has at least a 50% agreement with the state-typical model waveform 240 and so that the specified threshold is reached.

  • the measured signal of the operating variables 200 is compared with the state-typical model signal shape 240, estimated parameters being identified for the state-typical model signal shape 240.
  • estimated parameters it is possible to determine a degree of correspondence between the measured signal of the operating variables 200 and the state-typical model signal form 240, as to whether the first operating state is present.
  • the parameter estimation is based on the compensation calculation, which is a mathematical optimization method known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the mathematical optimization method enables the state-typical model signal form 240 to be matched to a series of measurement data of the signal of the operating variable 200.
  • the decision as to whether the first operating state is present can be made as a function of the degree of correspondence between the estimated parameters of the model signal shape 240 typical for the state and the measured signal of the operating variable 200.
  • a measure of a deviation between the estimated parameters of the state-typical model signal shape 240 and the measured signal of the operating variable 200 can also be determined.
  • a deviation determination is carried out in method step S2 following method step S2a. If the deviation from the state-typical model signal shape 240 to the measured signal of the operating variable of 70% is determined, the decision can be made as to whether the first operating state was identified in the signal of the operating variable and whether the first operating state is present.
  • a quality determination for the estimated parameters is carried out in a method step S2a following method step S2.
  • values for a quality between 0 and 1 are determined, with the rule that a higher value represents a higher correspondence between the state-typical model signal form 240 and the signal of the operating variable 200.
  • the decision as to whether the first operating state is present is made in the preferred embodiment in method step S3 at least partially on the basis of the condition that the value of the quality is in a range of 50%.
  • the method of cross-correlation is used as the comparative comparison method in method step S2.
  • the cross-correlation method is known per se to the person skilled in the art.
  • the state-typical model signal form 240 is correlated with the measured signal of the operating variable 200.
  • the result of the cross-correlation is again a signal sequence with an added signal length from a length of the signal of the operating variable 200 and the model signal shape 240 typical for the state, which represents the similarity of the time-shifted input signals.
  • the maximum of this output sequence represents the point in time of the greatest correspondence between the two signals, i.e. the signal of the operating variable 200 and the state-typical model signal form 240, and is therefore also a measure of the correlation itself, which in this embodiment is used in method step S3 as a decision criterion for the existence of the first operating state.
  • an essential difference to parameter estimation is that any state-typical model signal shapes can be used for the cross-correlation, while in the parameter estimation the state-typical model signal shape 240 must be able to be represented by parameterizable mathematical functions.

  • the result of the comparison carried out in method step S2 between the model signal form 240 typical for the state and the signal of the operating variable 200 is that the degree of correspondence between the two signals is so low that in method step S3 the first operating state is not established.
  • FIG. 7b shows the case in which the first operating state is present and therefore the state-typical model signal shape 240 and the signal of the operating variable 200 show a high degree of correspondence overall, even if deviations can be determined at individual measurement points.
