A cylinder 74 is provided in the gear housing 60 at a position above the second intermediate shaft 72. The cylinder 74 extends in parallel with the second intermediate shaft 72 and is rotatably supported. The sixth gear 73 is fixed to the outer periphery of the cylinder 74, and the cylinder 74 can rotate around its axis by meshing with the gear portion 72A described above.

  A tool holding portion 15 is provided on the front end side of the cylinder 74, and a drill bit 2 described later is detachably attached thereto. The intermediate portion of the second intermediate shaft 72 is spline-engaged with a clutch 76 that is urged toward the rear end side by a spring. The clutch 76 is connected to a hammer drill by a change lever (not shown) provided in the gear housing 60. The mode and the drill mode can be switched. On the motor 21 side of the clutch 76, a motion conversion unit 80 that converts rotational motion into reciprocating motion is externally mounted on the second intermediate shaft 72. The arm 80 </ b> A of the motion converter 80 is provided so as to be able to reciprocate in the front-rear direction of the drilling tool 1 by the rotation of the second intermediate shaft 72.

  A piston 82 is provided in the cylinder 74. The piston 82 is mounted so as to reciprocate in a direction parallel to the second intermediate shaft 72 and to be slidable in the cylinder 74. A striking element 83 is housed in the piston 82, and an air chamber 84 is defined in the cylinder 74 between the piston 82 and the striking element 83. At a position opposite to the air chamber side of the striker 83, an intermediate element 85 is supported in the cylinder 74 so as to be slidable in the direction of movement of the piston 82. A punch bit 2 as a tip tool is located at a position opposite to the striker side of the intermediate piece 85. Therefore, the striker 83 can strike the drill bit 2 via the intermediate piece 85.

  When the clutch 76 is switched to the hammer drill mode, the second intermediate shaft 72 and the motion conversion unit 80 are connected by the clutch 76. The motion conversion unit 80 is configured to be connected to the piston 82 provided in the cylinder 74 via the piston pin 81.

Therefore, the deepest part of the drilled hole is formed in a substantially mortar shape having a conical shape defined by rotation of the tapered tip 2B as a male shape. The drill bit 2 can be attached to and detached from the tool holding portion 15 and can be exchanged.

  Next, the circuit configuration of the control circuit unit including the microcomputer 110 serving as a calculation unit (control unit), the inverter circuit unit 102, and the motor 21 will be described with reference to FIG. The control circuit unit includes a switch operation detection circuit 111, an applied voltage setting circuit 112, a distance depth setting circuit 113, an origin position setting circuit 114, a rotor position detection circuit 115, a control signal output circuit 119, and an amplification. A circuit A and an amplifier circuit B are provided.

  The switch operation detection circuit 111 detects whether or not the trigger 13 is pushed and outputs the detection result to the microcomputer 110. The applied voltage setting circuit 112 sets the PWM duty of the PWM drive signal for driving the switching elements Q <b> 1 to Q <b> 6 of the inverter circuit unit 102 according to the target value signal output from the trigger 13, and outputs the PWM duty to the microcomputer 110. .

  A hole depth setting button 117 is connected to the distance depth setting circuit 113, and when the hole 21 is drilled to the value input from the hole depth setting button 117 with the depth control function turned on, the motor 21 Is configured to output a signal to stop power supply to the microcomputer 110. An origin position setting button 118 is connected to the origin position setting circuit 114, and when the origin position setting button 118 is pressed, a signal related to the origin setting of the hole to be drilled by the drill bit 2 is output to the microcomputer 110. Yes. The rotor position detection circuit 115 detects the rotational position of the rotor of the motor 21 based on the rotational position detection signal output from the Hall IC 21 </ b> A and outputs the detected rotational position to the microcomputer 110. A distance sensor 14 is connected to the amplifier circuit A and the amplifier circuit B.

  The microcomputer 110 calculates the target value of the PWM duty based on the output from the applied voltage setting circuit 112. Further, based on the output from the rotor position detection circuit 115, a stator winding to be properly energized is determined, and output switching signals H1 to H3 and PWM drive signals H4 to H6 are generated. The PWM drive signals H4 to H6 are output with the duty width determined based on the target value of the PWM duty. The control signal output circuit 119 outputs the output switching signals H1 to H3 and the PWM drive signals H4 to H6 generated by the microcomputer 110 to the inverter circuit unit 102.

  The inverter circuit unit 102 is supplied with AC power from a commercial power supply via the rectifier circuit 101. In the inverter circuit unit 102, the switching element is driven based on the output switching signals H1 to H3 and the PWM drive signals H4 to H6, and the stator winding to be energized is determined. Further, the PWM drive signal is switched at the target value of the PWM duty. As a result, a three-phase AC voltage having an electrical angle of 120 ° is sequentially applied to the three-phase stator windings (U, V, W) of the motor 21. In the inverter circuit unit 102, the switching element can be driven so as to stop the rotation of the output shaft 22 based on a signal from the microcomputer 110 via the control signal output circuit 119.

  In the amplifier circuit A, the voltage output from the distance sensor 14 can be amplified with the first amplification factor. Further, the amplifier circuit B can amplify the voltage output from the distance sensor 14 with a second amplification factor larger than the first amplification factor. In the amplification circuit A and the amplification circuit B, the voltage is always amplified and output when the drilling tool 1 is operated.

  Further, the microcomputer 110 includes a storage device 120 that is a storage unit such as a ROM. In the storage device 120, a mathematical formula program that is a mathematical formula A (Y = e / X + f) based on the graph of FIG. An effective depth deriving program 120B which is an effective depth deriving means having a map which will be described later and is not illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 7, a rotation stop program 120C described in the flowchart of FIG. 8, and a flowchart of FIG. A change rate prediction processing program 120D to be described and a calibration program 120E which is a calibration means described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 11 are stored. Here, in the mathematical formula program 120A, Y: output results of the amplification circuit A and the amplification circuit B, X: measurement distance (the distance between the distance sensor 14 and the material to be punched W in the front-rear direction described above), e, f: This is a coefficient obtained by calibration. Therefore, in the microcomputer 110, the measurement distance: X is calculated from the output results (sensor output voltage: Y) of the amplifier circuit A and the amplifier circuit B, and this measurement result is displayed on the display unit 23A. A map (not shown) included in the effective depth derivation program 120B includes a standard length corresponding to each diameter of the drill bit 2 and a correction value corresponding to the length (the latest part of the mortar shape described later). The depth = the length (Ls) of the tip 2B is stored. The storage unit 120 functions as a storage unit that stores various values in each flowchart described below.

  When the motor 21 of the drilling tool 1 having the above configuration is driven, the rotational output of the motor 21 is transmitted to the second intermediate shaft 72 via the first intermediate shaft 61, the fourth gear 61 </ b> A, and the fifth gear 71. The rotation of the second intermediate shaft 72 is transmitted to the cylinder 74 by the meshing of the gear portion 72A and the sixth gear 73, and the rotational force is transmitted to the drill bit 2. When the clutch 76 is moved to the hammer drill mode, the clutch 76 is coupled to the motion conversion unit 80, and the rotational driving force of the second intermediate shaft 72 is transmitted to the motion conversion unit 80. In the motion converter 80, the rotational driving force is converted into a reciprocating motion of the piston 82 via the piston pin 81. The pressure of the air in the air chamber 84 defined between the striking element 83 and the piston 82 by the reciprocating motion of the piston 82 repeatedly rises and falls to give the striking force to the striking element 83. The striking element 83 moves forward and collides with the rear end surface of the intermediate element 85, and the striking force is transmitted to the drill bit 2 (not shown) via the intermediate element 85. In this manner, in the hammer drill mode, a rotational force and a striking force are simultaneously applied to the drill bit 2 (not shown).

  When the clutch 76 is in the drill mode, the clutch 76 disconnects the connection between the second intermediate shaft 72 and the motion conversion unit 80, and only the rotational driving force of the second intermediate shaft 72 passes through the gear portion 72 </ b> A and the sixth gear 73. To the cylinder 74. Therefore, only the rotational force is applied to the drill bit 2.

  In the above-described hammer drill mode or drill mode, the drilling tool 1 is held so that the center axis of the drill bit 2 (axis parallel to the front-rear direction of the drill bit 2) and the plane of the material to be drilled W are orthogonal to each other. Then, the depth control function ON / OFF button 116 is pressed to turn the microcomputer 110 into the depth control function ON state. In this state, the UP button 117A and the DOWN button 117B are operated to set the drilling depth, the origin position setting button 118 is operated to set the origin position, and then the trigger 13 is pulled to perform the drilling. During drilling, the distance sensor 14 always detects the drilling depth. When the drilling depth reaches a set value, the microcomputer 110 automatically stops the power supply to the motor 21.

  The measurement distance X, which is a value detected by the above-described distance sensor 14, is calculated by the mathematical expression A according to the graph of FIG. This value is a value calculated based on how close the distance sensor 14 is to the perforated material W from the origin position. The origin position (X = L0) is a distance sensor when the tip 2B tip of the drill bit 2 is brought into contact with the drilled material W in a state where the central axis of the drill bit 2 and the plane of the drilled material W are orthogonal to each other. 14 is the value detected. From the measured value (X = L1) detected by the distance sensor 14 based on the origin position, the drilling depth (actual depth: L) in the drilling bit 2 is calculated by the equation L = L0-L1. As shown in FIG. 6, the actual depth L corresponds to the distance from the opening to the deepest part of the mortar-shaped position (L = Ld + Ls in FIG. 6) in the hole drilled in the material to be drilled W with the drill bit 2. .

  For example, when an anchor having the same diameter and length as L is embedded in the hole, the anchor cannot be inserted into the mortar-shaped position. There is a possibility of projecting by a distance Ls from the opening. Therefore, when drilling at the set value: Ld with the depth control function turned on, it is not formed by the actual depth: L which is the drilling depth of the actually formed hole, but by the tip 2B of the drilling bit 2. It is necessary to consider the drilling depth (effective depth: L−Ls = L0−L1−Ls) excluding the depth (Ls) of the portion forming the mortar shape.

  Specifically, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, first, in S101, it is determined whether or not the depth control function on / off button 116 has been pressed. If it is determined in S101 that the depth control function on / off button 116 has been pressed (S101: YES), the process proceeds to S102 to set the initial position (L0), and then proceeds to S103 to select the UP button 117A. The set value (Ld) of the drilling depth is set by the DOWN button 117B, and the process proceeds to S104. If it is determined in S101 that the depth control function on / off button 116 has not been pressed (S101: NO), the process proceeds to S105, and the trigger 13 is operated without using the depth control function. Based on manual drilling depth adjustment. After S105, the process loops to S101.

  If the initial position (L0) and the setting value (Ld) have not been set in S104 (S104: NO), the process loops to S102. If the initial position (L0) and the setting value (Ld) have been set in S104 (S104: YES), the process proceeds to S106, and it is determined whether or not the depth correction processing on / off button 23B has been pressed. . If the depth correction process on / off button 23B is pressed in S106 (S106: YES), the process proceeds to S107, and if the depth correction process on / off button 23B is not pressed (S106: NO). Advances to S111.

  If YES is determined in S106, a map (not shown) is called from the effective depth derivation program 120B stored in the storage device 120, the process proceeds to S107, and the trigger 13 is operated to supply power to the motor 21. Then the perforation bit 2 is rotated. Then, the process proceeds to S108, where the type of the drill bit 2 mounted from the current position (X = L1 = L0), that is, the origin position (L0), which is the measurement value at the start of drilling, is specified, and according to the specified type The drilling depth: L0−L1−Ls is calculated using the correction value (Ls) described above. Next, proceeding to S109, it is detected whether the drilling depth has reached the set value (L0-L1-Ls = Ld). Only when the predetermined depth is reached in S109 (S109: YES), the process proceeds to S110, the power supply to the motor 21 is stopped, and the process loops to S106 to prepare for the next operation.

  If NO is determined in S106, the process proceeds to S111, the correction value (Ls) is manually input by the UP button 117A and the DOWN button 117B, and then the process proceeds to S112, the trigger 13 is operated, Electric power is supplied to the motor 21 to rotate the drill bit 2. In S113, it is detected whether the drilling depth has reached the set value (L0-L1-Ls = Ld). Only when the predetermined depth is reached in S113 (S113: YES), the process proceeds to S110, the power supply to the motor 21 is stopped, and the process loops to S106 to prepare for the next operation.

  By deriving the drilling depth (effective depth) in this way, the drilling depth actually drilled (from the depth of the hole necessary for inserting an object to be inserted into the drilled hole, such as an anchor, etc.) Actual depth) is deeper. Therefore, the actual drilling depth (actual depth: L) is deeper than the operator's desired drilling depth (setting value: Ld), and when the anchor is inserted, the anchor protrudes from the drilling hole. Can be suppressed.

  In S108, the type of the puncturing bit 2 is specified, and the above-described correction value (Ls) corresponding to the specified type is specified from a table (not shown). According to such a configuration, the correction value can be easily derived, and the effective drilling depth can be derived more easily.

  In the above flow, S106 to S113 correspond to the effective depth deriving means and effective depth deriving step, and S108 corresponds to the correction value deriving means and correction value deriving step.

  With the above-described effective depth derivation program 120B (flowchart in FIG. 7), it is possible to drill a hole in which at least an anchor or the like can be reliably inserted in consideration of the correction value (Ls). However, when the drilling ends, the power supply to the motor 21 is simply stopped. In this state, the drilling bit 2 further rotates to a deeper position from the time when the power supply to the motor 21 is stopped due to the inertial force. There is a risk of perforation. Therefore, in order to prevent this, the motor 21 is braked at the end of drilling to reliably stop the rotation of the drill bit 2.

  Specifically, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, it is determined in S201 whether the trigger 13 can be pulled. In S201, if the origin position (L0) and the set value (Ld) as the drilling depth have already been input (S201: YES), the trigger 13 is pulled and the process proceeds to S204, and if not input (S201: NO) ), The process proceeds to S201 and S202 without pulling the trigger 13, and the origin position (L0) and set value (Ld) are set.

  In S204, power is supplied to the motor 21 to start drilling, and in S205, the distance sensor 14 detects and stores the current position (L1) as the current measurement value. Next, the process proceeds to S206, and it is determined whether or not the drilling depth has reached the set value (L0−L1 ≧ Ld). If the drilling depth has reached the set value (S206: YES), the process proceeds to S207, and a signal is output from the microcomputer 110 to the inverter circuit unit 102 to brake the motor 21 to forcibly rotate the motor 21. To stop (brake means). Then, the process proceeds to S208, and after determining that the trigger 13 has been restored from the pulled state, the process loops to S201, and the series of flows is completed.

  Thus, by forcibly stopping the rotation of the motor 21 at the same time as the drilling depth reaches the set value Ld, the rotation of the drill bit 2 can be stopped after reaching the set value. Therefore, after reaching the set value, no further drilling operation is performed, and drilling can be performed to an accurate drilling depth.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 8, the rotation of the drill bit 2 (rotation of the motor 21) is forcibly stopped based on the time when the drilling depth reaches the set value (Ld). The time to stop may be predicted and the motor 21 may be stopped before the drilling depth reaches the set value (Ld). Specifically, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9, the flow of S206.1 to S206.5 is added between S206 and S207. Hereinafter, the flow of S206.1 to S206.5 will be described. The flow other than S206.1 to S206.5 is the same as the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in S206, in a state where the set distance has not yet been reached (S206: NO), the process proceeds to S206.1, and it is determined whether 0.2 sec has elapsed from the previous storage timing (at the time of storage in S205). If it is determined that 0.2 sec has not elapsed (S206.1: NO), the process loops to S205. If it is determined that 0.2 sec has elapsed (S206.1: YES), the process proceeds to S206.1, where the current position (L1) is stored as the position (L2) and the current time corresponding to the current position (L1). (T1) is stored as time (T2). Next, the process proceeds to S206.3, and the drilling speed is a speed at which the drilling bit 2 is drilled with respect to the drilled material W from the current position (L1) and current time (T1) and the stored position (L2) and time (T2). Calculate the speed.

  Then, in S206.4, based on the calculated drilling speed, an offset amount: Lof, which is assumed that the drill bit 2 will dig even if the motor 21 is stopped, is calculated. This calculation is derived from a drilling speed and an offset amount (Lof) and a relational expression (not shown) or a table (not shown) previously determined by an experiment or the like.

  After calculating the offset amount (Lof), the process proceeds to S206.5, and whether or not the drilling depth (L0-L1) has reached the value (Ld-Lof) obtained by subtracting the offset amount (Lof) from the set value (Ld) Judge (L0−L1 + Lof ≧ Ld). If it is determined that it has not been reached (S206.5: NO), the process loops to S205. If it is determined that it has been reached (S206.5: YES), the process proceeds to S207.

  By predicting the motor 21 in this way, it is possible to reliably prevent the drilling depth from becoming larger than the set value Ld. The control according to the flowchart of FIG. 9 is particularly effective when drilling the material to be punched W which is highly likely to cause erroneous penetration of the drill bit 2 such as a thin plate. In the control according to the flowchart of FIG. 9, the same brake means (S207) as in the flowchart of FIG. 8 is used. However, if the operation of the drill bit 2 after the flow of S207 can be predicted, S207 is simply replaced with the motor. It is also possible to control the power supply only to the power supply 21 (power cut-off means).

  Further, in the control according to the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 and 9, since the rotation of the drill bit 2 is stopped only by the control of the motor 21, that is, the electrical control, the number of components in the drill tool 1 is not increased. No.

  In order to calculate the above-described drilling depth, as described above, the distance sensor 14 which is an infrared sensor is used, and an actual measurement value actually measured by the distance sensor 14 is used as a measurement value (current position) (L1). ing. Specifically, the distance is measured according to the reflection of the infrared ray irradiated from the distance sensor 14, but when the drilling process proceeds and dust is generated, the infrared ray is irregularly reflected by the dust and the accurate distance measurement cannot be performed. There is a fear.

  In order to avoid this, as shown in FIG. 10, an average rate-of-change straight line is calculated by linear approximation (primary approximation) from the relationship between the detection distance and time in the previous two seconds at a specific time (time 0). To do. Then, from the calculated average rate of change straight line, a virtual graph (virtual line): AL1 that is a rate of change line of the future from time 0 is defined, and the value of the virtual line (AL1): l1 is measured by the distance sensor 14 Used as a value (current position: l1).

  After creating this graph, the actual measurement value that is actually raw data output from the distance sensor 14 is compared with the value of the virtual line (AL1), and the actual measurement value is 10% or more from the numerical value of the virtual line (AL1). If the measured values are different, the measured values are discarded and not used for the calculation. If the measured values are within a range of 10% from the numerical value of the virtual line (AL1), the measured values are stored and calculated again. Used for virtual line calculation. Here, 10% from the numerical value of the imaginary line (AL1) means a straight line (AL2) which intersects with the average rate of change straight line (virtual line (AL1)) at time 0 and has a rate of change increased by 10% from the rate of change of the average rate of change line. ). Therefore, in the graph of FIG. 10, when the actual measurement value of the distance sensor 14 is positioned below the straight line (AL2), the actual measurement value is discarded, and the actual measurement value of the distance sensor 14 is positioned above the straight line (AL2). If so, the measured value is stored. In the period from the start of drilling to 2 seconds later, the virtual line is calculated by linear approximation (primary approximation) based on the origin position and at least the first measured value.

  Specifically, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11, first, in S301, it is determined whether or not the depth control function on / off button 116 has been pressed. If it is determined in S301 that the depth control function on / off button 116 has not been pressed (S301: NO), the process proceeds to S302 and is based on the operation of the trigger 13 without using the depth control function. Perform manual drilling depth adjustment. If it is determined in S301 that the depth control function on / off button 116 has been pressed (S301: YES), the process proceeds to S303 to set the initial position (L0), and then proceeds to S304 to select the UP button 117A. The setting value (Ld) of the drilling depth is set by the DOWN button 117B, and the process proceeds to S305, where it is confirmed whether or not the initial position (L0) and the setting value (Ld) are set (S305: YES). , The process proceeds to S306.

  In S306, the trigger 13 is pulled to start drilling, and the process proceeds to S307 to start detection / storage of the current position (L1). Then, the process proceeds to S308, a virtual line is calculated from the current position (L1) at each time stored from the drilling start time (at S306) to the current time point, and the virtual line value (l1) is set as the current position (l1). . Next, the process proceeds to S309, and it is determined whether the current position (L1), which is an actual measurement value, is within a range of 10% or more of the virtual line obtained in S308. If it is determined in S309 that the current position (L1) is 10% or more of the imaginary line in the distance sensor 14 (S309: YES), the process proceeds to S310 and the current position (L1) that is an actual measurement value from the data used for the calculation. ) Is excluded, and the process loops to S308. When it is determined that the current position (L1) is less than 10% of the virtual line (S309: NO), the process proceeds to S311.

  In S311, it is determined whether two seconds have elapsed since the trigger 13 was pulled and drilling started. If it is determined that two seconds have not elapsed (S311: NO), the process loops to S308. If it is determined that two seconds have elapsed (S311: YES), the process proceeds to S312 and an average rate of change straight line is obtained by linear approximation from the stored data of the current position (L1) for the previous two seconds, and this average rate of change straight line is obtained. Is defined as a virtual line (AL1) that is a line extended from time 0, and the value (l1) of the virtual line is defined as the current position (l1). Next, the process proceeds to S313, and it is determined whether the current position (L1), which is an actual measurement value, is within a range of 10% or more of the rate of change of the virtual line (AL1) obtained in S312. When it is determined in S313 that the current position (L1) is 10% or more of the virtual line (AL1) in the distance sensor 14 (S313: YES), that is, in the graph of FIG. 10, the current position (L1) is a straight line (AL2). When the position is lower, the process proceeds to S314, where the data of the current position (L1), which is an actual measurement value, is excluded from the data used for the calculation, and the process loops to S312. When it is determined that the current position (L1) is less than 10% of the imaginary line (S313: NO), the process proceeds to S315 without excluding the data of the current position (L1) that is an actual measurement value. In S315, it is determined whether or not the current position (l1) which is the value (l1) of the average rate of change straight line (virtual line (AL1)) has reached a position satisfying Ld = L0-l1. If it is determined in S315 that a position satisfying Ld = L0-l1 has been reached (S315: YES), the process proceeds to S316 and the rotation of the motor 21 is stopped. If it is determined in S315 that the position has not reached the position satisfying Ld = L0-l1 (S315: NO), the process proceeds to S317 and it is determined whether or not the set value (Ld) is to be changed. If it is determined that the set value (Ld) is to be changed (S317: YES), the process proceeds to S318, and after changing the set value (Ld), the process loops to S306. If it is determined not to change the set value (Ld) (S317: NO), the process proceeds to S312 and the operation is continued.

  In this way, even if the accuracy of the distance sensor 14 is reduced by dust or the like by defining a virtual line and proceeding the selection work with the value (l1) determined by the virtual line as the current position (l1), The drilling operation for drilling holes of a predetermined depth can be continued. In the above flowchart, in S312, the virtual line from the immediately preceding 2 seconds to the immediately following 2 seconds is defined. However, this number of seconds may be appropriately changed depending on the performance of the drilling tool 1, the work environment, and the like. Further, although 10% of the imaginary line is used as the threshold value, this value can also be changed as appropriate as in the above-mentioned number of seconds.

  Further, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 11, for example, an abnormal state in which the drill bit 2 penetrates the material to be drilled W and the drilling tool 1 comes close to the material to be drilled W is not considered. Therefore, when such an abnormal state occurs, a power cut-off means for cutting off power to the motor 21 may be provided. Specifically, the rotation number of the motor 21 is detected by the rotor position detection circuit 115, and it is determined in S313 whether the current position (L1) is 10% or more of the virtual line. And it is judged as S313: YES, and when the abnormality of the rotation speed of the motor 21 is detected, the power supply to the motor 21 is stopped. In general, when the punching bit 2 passes through the material to be punched W, the load on the motor 21 is eliminated and the rotation speed of the motor 21 increases rapidly. Therefore, by detecting this rapid rotation speed increase as an abnormality of the motor 21 and determining S313: YES, it is possible to stop the drilling operation assuming that the drill bit 2 has penetrated the workpiece W. In addition, as this electric power interruption | blocking means, you may detect abnormal rotation of the motor 21 by the electric current amount of the motor 21, etc. other than the rotation speed of the motor 21. FIG.

  Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 11, S308 to S314 are flows for complementing a decrease in accuracy of measurement by the distance sensor 14 due to generation of dust or the like. Therefore, if the accuracy of the distance sensor 14 does not decrease, it is not necessary to execute these flows. Therefore, after the flow of S307, a flow (abnormal value exclusion control means) for determining whether or not to execute the flow of S308 to S314 may be provided. In the above flowchart, S312 corresponds to the average drilling speed calculation means and virtual drilling depth prediction means, and S313 and S314 correspond to the abnormal value exclusion means. S315 corresponds to the virtual perforation depth recognition means.

  When the characteristics of the distance sensor 14 change over time, there is a possibility that an accurate value may not be calculated with the formula A shown in the graph of FIG. Therefore, in this case, a new mathematical expression A is calculated for calibration. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a first calibration jig 201 and a second calibration jig 202 are attached to the tool holding portion 15 instead of the drill bit 2 (FIG. 1), and Distance measurement is performed by the distance sensor 14 in a state where the one calibration jig 201 and the second calibration jig 202 are in contact with the plate material Ws to be measured for calibration, and the coefficients e and f in the formula A are newly calculated. To do. The first calibration jig 201 includes a flat plate portion 201A having a flat surface 201B that comes into surface contact with the plate material Ws, and a shaft portion 201C that is connected to the flat plate portion 201A and extends in a direction orthogonal to the flat surface 201B. Is attached to the tool holder 15. Further, the axial length of the shaft portion 201C is determined so that the distance from the plane 201B to the distance sensor 14 is 350 mm in a state where the first calibration jig 201 is mounted on the tool holding portion 15. . The second calibration jig 202 has a flat plate portion 202A having a flat surface 202B that is substantially the same shape as the flat plate portion 201A of the first calibration jig 201, and an axis that is connected to the flat plate portion 202A and extends in a direction perpendicular to the flat surface 201B. 202C, and is attached to the tool holding part 15 by the shaft part 202C. Further, the shaft portion 202C has a distance from the flat surface 202B (the surface in contact with the flat surface 202B of the plate material Ws) to the distance sensor 14 in a state where the second calibration jig 202 is attached to the tool holding portion 15 to 250 mm. The length in the axial direction is determined so that

  In order to perform calibration using the first calibration jig 201 and the second calibration jig 202 described above, it is first determined whether or not the trigger 13 is pulled in S401 as shown in the flowchart of FIG. If it is determined in S401 that the trigger 13 has been pulled (S401: YES), the routine proceeds to a normal drilling operation shown in S402 to S404.

  If it is determined in S401 that the trigger 13 is not pulled (S401: NO), the process proceeds to S405, and it is determined whether or not the origin position setting button 118 has been pressed. If it is determined in S405 that the origin position setting button 118 has not been pressed (S405: NO), the process loops to S401. If it is determined in S405 that the origin position setting button 118 has been pressed (S405: YES), the process proceeds to S406, and the time for which the origin position setting button 118 has been pressed is determined. If the time at which the origin position setting button 118 is pressed in S406 is less than 5 seconds (S406: NO), the process proceeds to S407, where the origin position (X = L0) is set, and the process loops to S401. In S406, when the time for which the origin position setting button 118 is pressed is 5 seconds or more (S406: YES), the process proceeds to S408 and the calibration mode is started.

  Proceeding from S408 to S409, the mathematical expression A which is the distance conversion mathematical formula shown in FIG. 5 is read from the storage device 120, and then proceeding to S410, where the distance sensor 14 detects with the first calibration jig 201 mounted. The distance data L1 (value to be substituted for X in Formula A) and the output voltage data Vm1 (value to be substituted for Y in Formula A) corresponding to this distance data L1 are stored. Next, in S411, distance data L2 (a value to be substituted for X in Formula A) corresponding to the distance detected by the distance sensor 14 with the second calibration jig 202 attached and the output of the distance sensor 14 corresponding thereto. The voltage data Vm2 (value to be substituted for Y in Formula A) is stored, and the process proceeds to S412 (first S412).

  If it is determined in S412 that the origin position setting button 118 has been pressed for 5 seconds or longer (S412: YES), the process proceeds to S413 to end the calibration mode, and then loops to S401. If the time at which the origin position setting button 118 is pressed in S412 is less than 5 seconds (S412: NO), the process proceeds to S414, and the output V0 (V01) output from the distance sensor 14 is detected.

  In S414, the first calibration jig 201 is previously mounted on the tool holding unit 15 (jig mounting process), and the measurement by the distance sensor 14 (distance measurement process) is performed in a state where the flat surface 201B is pressed against the plate material Ws. . In this state, the distance from the distance sensor 14 to the plate material Ws is 350 mm.

  Next, the process proceeds to S415, X is calculated by substituting the output V0 into Y of Formula A, and the process proceeds to S416 to display this value on the display unit 23A. In step S417, the UP button 117A and the DOWN button 117B are operated to input the current numerical value (350 mm) (input process). If it is determined in S417 that the operator does not need to operate (S417: NO), that is, if the value of the display unit 23A in S416 is the same as or substantially the same as the current value (350 mm), the process loops to S412. . The description of the case of looping from S417 to S412 will be described later together with S426 described later.

  If it is determined in S417 that the operator needs to operate (S417: YES), the process proceeds to S418 to operate the UP button 117A and the DOWN button 117B to change the display on the display unit 23A to the current value (350 mm). change. Next, the process proceeds to S419, and whether or not the value V0 detected in S414 is larger than the average value of Vm1 and Vm2, that is, whether the output voltage data Vm1 and Vm2 stored in S410 and S411 is close. to decide. Here, the value V0 detected in S414 is a measurement result in a state where the first calibration jig 201 is mounted, and is a value close to Vm1 (S419: NO), the process proceeds to S420, and V01 is set as a new Vm1. The process proceeds to S421, and the input value (350 mm) displayed on the display unit 23A is stored as a new L1.

  Next, the process proceeds to S424, and the new (L1, Vm1) stored in S420 and S421 and (L2, Vm2) stored in S411 are respectively substituted for (X, Y) of Formula A, and the process proceeds to S425. The new coefficient e and coefficient f are calculated. Then, the process proceeds to S426, a new mathematical expression A using new coefficients e and f is stored, and the process loops to S412 (second S412).

  When it is determined that no calibration work is necessary when looping from S426 and S417 to the second S412, the origin position setting button 118 is pressed for 5 seconds or longer in the second S412 (S412: YES). Thus, the process proceeds to S413 as described above, and the calibration mode is terminated.

  Further, when further calibration is required by the second calibration jig 202, the first calibration jig 201 is removed from the tool holding portion 15, the second calibration jig 202 is mounted, and the origin position setting button 118 is not pressed ( (S412: NO), the process proceeds to S414. Since S414 to S418 are the same as those of the first calibration jig 201, a description thereof will be omitted. Next, the process proceeds to S419, in which whether or not the value V0 detected in S414 related to the second calibration jig 202 is larger than the average value of Vm1 and Vm2, that is, output voltage data Vm1 and Vm2 stored in S420 and S411. It is judged whether it is close to either. Here, the value V0 detected in S414 is a measurement result in a state where the second calibration jig 202 is mounted, and is a value close to Vm2 (S419: YES), the process proceeds to S422, and V01 is set as a new Vm2. The process proceeds to S423, and the input value (250 mm) displayed on the display unit 23A is stored as a new L2.

  Next, the process proceeds to S424, and the new (L1, Vm1) stored in S420 and S421 and the new (L2, Vm2) stored in S422 and S423 are assigned to (X, Y) of Formula A, respectively. Proceeding to S425, new coefficients e and f are calculated. Then, the process proceeds to S426, a new mathematical expression A using the new coefficient e and coefficient f is stored, and the process loops to S412 (third S412).

  In the third S412, since the calibration by the first calibration jig 201 and the calibration by the second calibration jig 202 have been performed, the origin position setting button 118 is pressed for 5 seconds or longer (S412: YES), and the calibration is performed. Exit mode.

  In this way, by calibrating the coefficient e and the coefficient f in Formula A, an accurate value can be derived even if the sensitivity of the distance sensor 14 changes. Even in the tool 1, an accurate drilling depth can be maintained.

  In the present embodiment, the first calibration jig 201 and the second calibration jig 202 which are dedicated jigs are used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a drill bit having a predetermined length whose length is known in advance is used as the jig. It may be used as When the drilling bit is used as a jig, a table (calibration value deriving means, calibration) in which the distance from the distance sensor 14 to the plate material Ws corresponding to each drilling bit mounted on the tool holding unit 15 is described. A value deriving step). By using this table, when a drilling bit having a predetermined length is used as a jig, the value input in S417 in the above flowchart can be easily discriminated, and the calibration work can be facilitated. This table may be separate from the drilling tool 1, or may be described integrally with the drilling tool 1, for example, in the handle portion 10 or the motor housing 20.

  In the above flowchart, the sensor output V0 is detected immediately in S413 after S412. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 15, any calibration is performed as S412.1 after S412. A flow for confirming that the measurement distance from the distance sensor 14 to the plate material Ws is changed by moving the drilling tool 1 with the jig mounted may be inserted. By entering this flow, it is possible to clarify the procedure related to the calibration of the operator.

  In this embodiment, the drilling tool 1 is a rotary hammer drill, but is not limited to a rotary hammer drill. The present invention can be applied to any tool that drills a material to be drilled.

  The present invention is particularly useful in the field of drilling tools for drilling a drilled material to a desired depth with a tip tool.
