Description
HAND TOOL
This invention relates to hand tools ed with an
electric engine, for rotationally driving an anchoring, drilling or fastening
member. The tools may be drills, screwing machines, millstones, or other
rotary s.
With such tools, the risk could occur that the member to be
rotationally driven gets suddenly blocked, for example, when a drill bit of
a drill strikes a metal part. Consequently, it is the tool which is driven in
rotation and which is able to hurt the operator's hand or arm.
From document US 2004/0104034, a hand tool is known,
sing, between the engine and the member to be driven, a safety
clutch controlled by a torque active control safety module, comprising a
detector being sensitive to an angular shift, and cutting the driving of the
engine when the member to be driven no longer moves.
Such a prior art tool, however, has the drawback of having quite a
short life.
According to the invention there is provided a hand tool with an
electric engine for rotationally driving a member, to be driven, the tool
comprising means for slowing down the engine and means for ing
on of the tool so as to control the slowing down means of the engine,
the tool comprising a contactor ed for ting the engine from its
electric supply and for transforming the engine into a current generator of
which the current is re-injected in inverse polarity into the engine.
' Thus, instead of stopping the g of the engine, the engine is
only slowed considerably improving the life of the tool. Moreover, the
engine becomes a current generator. The generated current is re-injected
in inverse polarity into the engine, thereby ensuring a fast slowing down
in the tool rotation.
Advantageously, the means for ing the rotational g of
the tool comprise a gyroscopic detector.
This invention will be better understood using the following
description, provided by way of non—limiting example, of a hand tool
according to a preferred embodiment with reference to the single figure
showing a functional block diagram, with its electric engine for driving a
member to be driven and its control module for slowing down the engine,
in the case of the rotation being blocked for the member to be driven.
With reference to the Fig, a hand tool 1, here, but actually as an
example, a rotary hammer adapted to rotationally drive a drill bit 2, and a
control module 4, intended to prevent the tool from rotating when the drill
bit 2 suddenly gets d, as a ,. for example, of the same meeting
a metallic part upon the drilling operation.
The control module 4 comprises a block 5 for slowing down the
engine 3 and means for detecting the rotational driving of the tool 1
controlling the slowing down block 5. The ing means here
comprise a gyroscopic sensor 6 substantially arranged
along the rotation axis 7 of the tool. An electronic
filter 8 is connected with the output of the
gyroscope 6 for removing the noise generated by the
normal operation of the tool. The slowing down block 5
is connected to the output of the filter 8.
As soon as the tool is started, the
gyroscope 6 could detect the rotation of the tool.
The output signal of the filter 8 as well as
that of a quartz 9 are received in a calculator 10 of
1O a. microcontroller ll delivering, in. , a
signal V(9)being representative of the rotation speed
of the tool. The signal v(e) is compared, in a
comparator 12, to a signal being representative of a
threshold speed V (5). Such a speed V (s) could be
determined. by a software part 13 embedded into the
microcontroller 11. The output signal of the
comparator 12 is sent to a tor 14 being active
as soon as
v (e) >V (s)
The contactor 14 is connected to the
engine 3. The activation of the contactor l4 tes
the engine from its electric supply. Thus, the engine
becomes a current generator. The generated current is
re—injected in inverse polarity into the engine,
thereby ensuring a fast, even sudden, slowing down of
the tool.
Such an action of insulation and phase
ion of the engine could occur on a field effect
transistor FET of the engine.
It should be noticed that the activation of
the transistor FET should be as fast as possible. This
is why, as a contactor, an electromechanical contactor
is red having a very fast reaction. In addition,
this is a particularly robust equipment material. Thus, it could be hoped
that the tool is onally driven on less than one quarter of revolution.
The just described assembly is thus a slowing down module. It
could be arranged on any electric engine tool, on which an unexpected
rotational blocking could occur. The risks of accident of the type fracture
or sprain at the level of operators' arms are thereby restricted.
The ion has been bed by way of non—limiting example
only and many modifications and variations may be made thereto without
ing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Throughout this
specification and the claims which follow, unless the context requires
otherwise, the word ise”, and variations such as "comprises" and
"comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer
or step or group of integers or steps but not the exclusion of any other
integer or step or group of integers or steps.
The reference in this specification to any prior publication (or
information derived from it), or to any matter which is known, is not, and
should not be taken as an acknowledgment or admission or any form of
suggestion that that prior publication (or information derived from it) or
known matter forms part of the common general knowledge in the field of
endeavour to which this specification relates.
