However, other forms of hand-held machine tool 10 that would be significant to those skilled in the art are also conceivable, such as impact drills, chipping hammers, dismantling hammers, saver saws or jigsaws. The hand-held machine tool 10 is an electric hand-held machine tool. A tool storage 34 is arranged in the front region of the hand-held machine tool 10 and is provided in particular for receiving the tip tool 14 which is an attachment-type drill or chisel.

It is possible to operate the hand-held machine tool 10 via this. The sub-hand grip 36 is formed in a rod shape. The main hand grip 38 is formed in a U shape. However, other forms of main handgrip and / or subhandgrip that would be meaningful to one skilled in the art are also contemplated. The main hand grip 38 is provided with a switch element 40 that can be operated by an operator. The switch element 40 is provided for operating the drive unit 16. The casing 42 of the hand-held machine tool 10 surrounds a drive unit 16 (not shown in detail) constituted by an electric motor that can be operated using the switch element 40. The drive unit 16 is provided to drive the striking mechanism unit 12 of the hand-held machine tool 10.

  The hand-held machine tool 10 includes an impact mechanism unit 12. The striking mechanism unit 12 is provided to form a striking (impact) against the tip tool 14 held in the tool accommodating portion 34. The striking mechanism unit 12 is provided to drive the tip tool 14 held in the tool accommodating portion 34 of the hand-held machine tool 10 in a translational or striking manner. The striking mechanism unit 12 not shown in detail includes a transmission element constituted by rivets. The transmission element is provided for transmitting a hit to the tip tool 14 in the hammer operating state and in the hit drilling operation state. The striking mechanism unit 12 further includes a guide element not shown in detail. The guide element is provided for guiding at least one transmission element in the operating state of the striking mechanism unit 12. The guide element is constituted by a hammer hole. The guide element is provided to guide the transmission element, the striking element, and the piston element linearly in parallel with the machining axis 44 of the tip tool 14 forming the axial direction 46 of the striking mechanism unit 12. It has been. In the guide element, the piston unit driven by the drive unit 16 is guided in the axial direction 46. The striking element is disposed behind the piston element in the axial direction when viewed from the drive unit 16 toward the tool housing portion 34. The striking element is likewise supported so as to be movable in the axial direction 46 in the guide element.

  The hand-held machine tool 10 further includes an electronic device 18. The electronic device 18 includes a sensor unit 20 for detecting an operation parameter, and an open loop control and / or a control unit for performing an open loop control and / or a closed loop control of the drive unit based on the operation parameter detected by the sensor unit 20. And a closed loop control unit 22 (FIG. 2). The open-loop control and / or closed-loop control unit 22 is constituted by a closed-loop control unit 50 that is provided for closed-loop control of the drive unit on the basis of operating parameters detected by the sensor unit. Additionally, a sensor unit 20 can be provided for detecting one or more other operational parameters of the striking mechanism unit 12 and / or one or more ambient parameters. The sensor unit 20 has a sensor element 48 for detecting operating parameters. The sensor element 48 of the sensor unit 20 is configured by an acceleration sensor. However, other forms of the sensor element 48 of the sensor unit 20 that are meaningful to those skilled in the art are also conceivable. The operation parameters that can be detected by the sensor unit 20 of the electronic device 18 include the load characteristic amount of the striking mechanism unit 12. The operation parameter that can be detected by the sensor unit 20 of the electronic device 18 is configured by the striking frequency of the striking mechanism unit 12. The operating parameters are based on the operating state of the striking mechanism unit 12 and the associated driving unit load. When the striking mechanism unit 12 shifts from the no-load operation to the hammer operation state or the perforation operation state, a load peak occurs in the drive unit 16. In addition, the operating parameters of the striking mechanism unit 12 reach a maximum value. As the load increases at the load peak, the rotational speed of the drive unit 16 decreases.

  The electronic device 18 of the hand-held machine tool 10 further includes an evaluation unit 26. The evaluation unit 26 is electronically connected to the sensor unit 20. An evaluation unit 26 is provided for evaluating the transition of the operating parameters. The evaluation unit 26 is provided for at least approximately estimating when the operating parameter reaches a maximum value. This operating parameter constituted by the striking frequency of the striking mechanism unit 12 is detected by the sensor unit 20 and transferred to the evaluation unit 26. The operating parameters are transferred digitally to the evaluation unit 26. However, it is also conceivable to transfer the operating parameters to the evaluation unit 26 in analog form or in another form that would be meaningful to the person skilled in the art. The operating parameters are transmitted to the evaluation unit 26 via a data cable. However, it is also conceivable to transmit wirelessly, for example via radio, in another form that would be meaningful to those skilled in the art.

  The evaluation unit 26 evaluates the transition of the operation parameter detected by the sensor unit 20 based on the evaluation algorithm stored in the evaluation unit 26. By the evaluation using the evaluation algorithm of the evaluation unit 26, the time when the drive unit 16 reaches the load peak, that is, the time when the operation parameter of the hitting mechanism unit 12 reaches the maximum value, before the operation parameter reaches the maximum value. Can be approximately determined. As soon as the evaluation unit 26 determines when the operating parameter reaches the maximum value, the evaluation unit 26 forwards a signal with corresponding information to the closed-loop control unit 50 of the electronic device 18. For this purpose, the evaluation unit 26 is electronically connected to the closed loop control unit 50. This signal with corresponding information is transferred digitally to the closed loop control unit 50. However, it is also conceivable to transfer this signal with corresponding information to the closed-loop control unit 50 in analog or another form that would be meaningful to those skilled in the art. This signal with corresponding information is transmitted to the closed loop control unit 50 via a data cable. However, it is also conceivable to transmit wirelessly, for example via radio, in another form that would be meaningful to those skilled in the art.

  The closed loop control unit 50 includes a microcontroller. The closed loop control unit 50 of the electronic device 18 is electronically connected to the drive unit 16. The closed loop control unit 50 includes a rotation speed controller 24. The closed loop control unit 50 is provided for performing closed loop control on the rotational speed of the drive unit 16. For this purpose, the closed loop control unit 50 is electronically coupled to the drive unit 16. The closed loop control unit 50 is coupled to the drive unit 16 in both directions. The actual rotational speed value of the drive unit 16 is transmitted from the drive unit 16 to the closed loop control unit 50. In the closed loop control unit 50, the actual rotational speed value of the drive unit 16 is compared with a predetermined target value of the rotational speed of the drive unit 16. The closed-loop control unit 50 calculates a control signal for bringing the actual rotational speed value of the drive unit 16 close to a predetermined rotational speed target value. Thereafter, this control signal for adjusting the value of the rotational speed of the drive unit 16 to the target value of the rotational speed is transferred from the closed loop control unit 50 to the drive unit 16, whereby the drive unit 16 is controlled in a closed loop.

  The control signal and the actual rotational speed value of the drive unit 16 are transmitted digitally between the drive unit 16 and the closed loop control unit 50. However, it is also possible to transmit the control signal and the value of the actual speed of the drive unit 16 between the drive unit 16 and the closed loop control unit 50 in an analog manner or in another form that would be meaningful to those skilled in the art. Conceivable. The control signal and the value of the actual rotational speed of the drive unit 16 are transmitted between the drive unit 16 and the closed loop control unit 50 via a data cable. However, it is also conceivable to transmit wirelessly, for example via radio, in another form that would be meaningful to those skilled in the art. As an alternative or in addition, it is also conceivable for the electronic device 18 to comprise an open-loop control unit provided for open-loop control of the drive unit 16 based on the operating parameters detected by the sensor unit 20. In addition, it is also conceivable to provide a closed loop control unit 50 for manual adjustment, for example using an adjustment button or an adjustment wheel operable by the operator.

  The closed loop control unit 50 is configured to perform the closed loop control of the drive unit 16 immediately before the operation parameter reaches the maximum value based on the operation parameter detected by the sensor unit 20. The closed-loop control unit 50 further adapts the target value for the rotational speed based on a signal sent from the evaluation unit 26 to the closed-loop control unit 50 with corresponding information regarding when the operating parameter reaches its maximum value. In this way, the target value of the rotational speed is increased to the maximum target value immediately before the operating parameter reaches the maximum value, whereby the control signal transmitted from the closed loop control unit 50 to the drive unit 16 is changed to the drive unit 16. The number of revolutions is increased accordingly. The closed loop control unit 50 is provided to increase the rotational speed of the drive unit 16 immediately before the operating parameter reaches the maximum value. When the load peak occurs and when the operating parameter reaches the maximum value, the rotational speed of the drive unit 16 decreases. By previously increasing the rotational speed of the drive unit 16 by means of the closed loop control unit 50, the difference between the rotational speed value, which decreases due to the load peak, and the average operating rotational speed is advantageously kept small. (Fig. 3).

After exceeding the time t _S of the load peak, the rotational speed of the drive unit 16 is raised again, thus the closed-loop control unit 50 may reduce the maximum target value again to the normal target value. The normal target value of the closed loop control unit 50 corresponds to the average operation speed of the drive unit 16. The closed loop control unit 50 further maintains the value of the rotational speed of the drive unit 16 in the operating state of the hand-held machine tool 10 at an average operating rotational speed value at least approximately constant during the period between the two load peaks. Or it is usually provided to maintain the target value.

  Closed loop control of the drive unit 16 of the hand-held machine tool 10 is implemented by a method that includes the step 28 of detecting operating parameters by the sensor unit 20. The method further forwards the operating parameters detected by the sensor unit 20 to the evaluation unit 26, evaluates the transition of the operating parameters detected by the sensor unit 20 by the evaluation unit 26, and determines a maximum value of at least one operating parameter. Another method step 32 is to estimate the time instant at least approximately before the operating parameter reaches the maximum value. This information is transmitted to the closed loop control unit 50. This method has another method step 30 based on the operating parameter detected by the sensor unit 20 to control the drive unit 16 in a closed loop just before the operating parameter reaches its maximum value. In this other method step 30 of the method, the time is determined by the evaluation unit 26 based on the point in time when the operating parameter reaches the maximum value, as well as the predetermined normal target value of the drive unit 16. Based on the maximum target value, the closed loop control unit 50 performs the closed loop control. However, it is also conceivable that this method has alternative or additional steps that would be meaningful to those skilled in the art.
