Description of the invention (i) Background of the invention The present invention relates to power tools and in particular to electric tools. The present invention relates particularly to battery-powered power tools and battery packs for power tools. Different types of power hand tools have been used for many years, including electric tools and pneumatic tools. Originally, these tools had to be connected to a power source, usually AC, or to compressed air or a source of such air, by means of a cable or a pneumatic hose. This restricts the tool to the length of the cable or hose to which the tool is connected to the power source. Therefore, wireless power tools have been supplied for many years. The tool usually includes a battery-powered DC electric motor. The battery is housed in a battery pack or built into the power tool or in a portable battery pack that is removably attached to the power tool. The size of the battery pack must be limited, otherwise the power tool will be too heavy and / or inconvenient to use. Therefore, the power output capacity and operating time of wireless power tools are limited. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention discloses a modified battery-powered power tool and battery pack to avoid the disadvantages of previous battery-powered tools while providing additional structural and operational advantages. An important feature of power tools and a battery pack is that the battery pack can be kept away from the tools it drives. Another feature related to the foregoing characteristics of battery-powered tools is that the battery pack can be placed on or away from the tool. Another feature of battery-powered tools is ergonomics with high power output capacity and / or operating time, and a relatively small size and weight. This paper is sized for China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297) Mm)

For detailed description, refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 7, which illustrate a battery pack 10 according to one of the first examples. The battery pack 10 has a case 11 which is sealed to produce one or more rechargeable batteries 11a which can produce the required output voltage and current. Battery 11a is a thin metal-5- This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 595065 A7 ——__ B7 V. Description of the invention (3) Membrane-acid battery, the battery can be j 〇hnsoI1 Controls company "Inspira" or Bolder Technologies company "Bolder 9/5 sub-C TMF" (thin metal film) type batteries. The housing may have an upright plug connection portion 12 which includes an electrical contact 12a which is adapted to be electrically connected to the mating contact 12b (FIG. 7) possessed by the power tool. The battery pack 10 also has a connector 14, which is preferably the same size and configuration as the connecting portion 12, and is connected to the battery case n by an extension cable 15. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the cable 15 is stored on the reel 16 installed in the housing n, so that the connector 14 can be stored in the external device 11 when not in use. Alternatively, the extension cable 15 may be disposed outside the casing u or removed from the casing 11. To prevent accidents, the casing 丨 can have multiple grooves 17 on the outer surface, so that the cable 15 can be wound on the casing 丨 丨 for storage. Referring to FIG. 2, another example is illustrated by using a battery belt 20. The battery belt includes an extension belt made of any suitable material, and has a coupling or buckling portion 21 on both sides of the belt, and is suitable for being wrapped around a user. Waist, shoulders, or the like. The belt 20 is a fixing belt 22 having a plurality of arrays. For example, the fixing belt is a τ of a devil felt type for fixing a plurality of battery packs on the belt, respectively. Other desired shapes. Each battery pack 23 includes one or more rechargeable batteries, which may be thin metal film lead-acid type batteries. The battery belt 20 is provided with a connector 14 as shown in the figure. The extended electric rib is connected to one of the battery packs 23. The battery 15 can be permanently connected to the battery pack 23, but it is best to borrow it—suitable. Connection 26 is connected in a detachable manner. The battery pack ^ is a jumper connection ^ interconnect. The jumper electrical fiber makes the battery pack in series or parallel as needed. In the illustration of the real money-6-595065 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (4), each jumper cable 27 can be a multi-conductor cable, and each battery pack has a plurality of electric stud heads, each of the electric stud heads includes a pair of electric stud heads, respectively connected to the battery It should be understood that any other different battery pack configuration and / or cable configuration can be used. The battery pack configuration disclosed in the present invention is not the same as the prior art and must be directly installed in the power tool. The battery pack 10 or the battery pack 20 can be placed away from the tool and connected by an extension cable 15. See FIG. 3 for a power tool 30, which may be an electric drill or wrench or And the like. Power tools shown: > 0 series usually has a trigger It should be understood that the battery pack disclosed in the present invention can be used for other types of power tools, such as screwdrivers, right-angle drills or the like. The power tool 30 has an extended handle 31, which has a distal end. Surface 32, in which a connecting socket or socket 33 is formed in the distal surface, and contact 12b is arranged therein. The socket 33 is specially designed to receive the connecting portion 12 of the battery pack 10 or to receive the battery pack 10 or the battery τ20. Connector 14. This is to make the power tool far away from the battery pack or battery band but within the length of the cable 15. In this regard, the cable 15 is preferably a low loss wire to reduce power loss. This configuration The system is particularly advantageous in that its size and weight are not suitable for direct installation on a power tool < power tool battery pack. For example, the battery pack 10 can be large to increase the power output and / or operating time of the power tool. In this case Next, the size of the battery pack 10 will prevent it from being directly mounted on the tool, so the connection portion 12 may not be provided. The design of the battery strap 20 is to connect a plurality of smaller battery packs to obtain one. Effect of the battery pack worn by the user and carrier, more than the use of this hand load = weight of the power tool operation.
