It is a figure which shows the structure in connection with engine control in the chainsaw used as the 1st Embodiment of this invention.
- the setting operation of the saw chain is performed by operating a setting operation lever (a setting operation unit) mounted on the main body. Since the grindstone used for the sharpening work is fixed to the sharpening operation lever, it is not necessary to separately prepare the grindstone for the sharpening work.
- the sharpening lever is in a state for performing a normal cutting operation (first state), a state in which a normal cutting operation cannot be performed or a sharpening operation is performed, and / or a grindstone and a saw chain are in contact with each other. Even if not, there is a state (second state) in which the sharpening lever is operated. In the second state, the grindstone has moved closer to the saw chain than in the first state.
- the state of the sharpening lever is described as the first state, the second state, and the third state (described later), the state of the grindstone in each state is the first state. It can be read as the state, the second state, and the third state.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view seen from the side, showing a configuration around a drive gear 21 called a sprocket in the main body 10 of the chain saw 1 when the sharpening lever is in the first state.
- an elongated guide bar 30 extends from the vicinity of the drive gear 21 to the front (right side in the figure), and on the periphery of the drive gear 21 and the guide bar 30 (upper and lower sides in FIG. 1) A chain 31 is stretched over.
- the drive gear 21 drives the saw chain 31 by rotating clockwise.
- the guide bar 30 is fixed to the main body 10 so that the attachment position in the front-rear direction with respect to the main body 10 can be finely adjusted, whereby the tension of the saw chain 31 can be adjusted.
- the inner peripheral side of the saw chain 31 (the side in contact with the drive gear 21 and the guide bar 30) has a chain shape that meshes with the drive gear 21 and is movable along the peripheral edge of the guide bar 30, and the outer peripheral side is a blade. Attached processing is given. For this reason, the saw chain 31 is driven by the drive gear 21 and can be cut by the saw chain 31 that travels along the outer periphery of the guide bar 30 at a high speed.
- the upper periphery of the drive gear 21 is surrounded by a cover attachment portion 11 provided so as to protrude to the front side of the paper surface in the main body 10, and when the chain saw 1 is used, the cover attachment portion 11 is covered (see FIG. 1). (Not shown) is attached. For this reason, at the time of the cutting operation, the periphery of the drive gear 21 is covered with the cover and is not exposed, and the cutting operation can be performed using the portions exposed in front of the main body 10 of the guide bar 30 and the saw chain 31.
- the drive shaft 22 that is the rotation shaft of the drive gear 21 is connected to the crankshaft (power shaft) of the engine that serves as a power source via a centrifugal clutch (clutch) on the back side in the drawing, but in FIG. A configuration on the engine side with respect to the drive shaft 22 is not described.
- a centrifugal clutch is fixed to the crankshaft, and a drive shaft 22 is fixed to a clutch drum provided so as to cover the outside of the centrifugal clutch.
- the operating state of the engine is roughly classified into an idling state in which the drive shaft 22 and the saw chain 31 are not driven and a driving state in which the drive shaft 22 and the saw chain 31 are driven.
- the chainsaw 1 is used by being carried by an operator.
- the main body 10 is provided with an annular front handle 12 that is shaped to straddle the main body 10 from the upper side behind the guide bar 30 and is gripped by one hand of the operator.
- an annular rear handle 13 that is gripped by the other hand of the operator is provided at the rear of the main body 10.
- a throttle lever 14 (rotational speed adjusting means) for controlling the output of the engine or the rotational speed of the crankshaft is provided below the upper portion of the rear handle 13.
- the throttle lever 14 When the throttle lever 14 is operated (pulled upward) from this state, the throttle opening of the carburetor connected to the engine is increased, the rotational speed of the crankshaft is increased, and the drive state is established. Driven. Since the throttle lever 14 is urged toward the idling state, the engine is always idling when the operator does not touch the throttle lever. In the drive state, the rotational speed of the crankshaft increases in accordance with the operation amount (pull amount) of the throttle lever 14. However, in general, the cutting operation is performed in a state in which the pulling amount of the throttle lever 14 is maximized (the rotation speed of the crankshaft is maximized in setting).
- a sharpening operation lever (shaping operation portion) 15 is mounted in the main body 10 near the drive gear 21.
- the sharpening lever 15 functions as a polishing device for polishing the cutting edge of the saw chain 31.
- the sharpening lever 15 is rotatably mounted on the main body 10 around a rotation shaft 15A, and is biased clockwise in FIG. 1 by a spring (not shown). Further, as shown in FIG. 1, since the upper end portion (lever upper portion 15B) of the sharpening lever 15 protrudes outside the cover attaching portion 11, even when the cover is attached, the operator can hold the lever upper portion 15B. By operating, the sharpening lever 15 can be rotated counterclockwise in the figure against the elastic force of the spring.
- FIG. 1 shows a state where the sharpening lever 15 is not operated. In this case, the grindstone 40 is separated from the saw chain 31 spanned over the drive gear 21 and does not come into contact with the saw chain 31. .
- This state is the first state, in which the sharpening operation lever 15 is not operating. In this state, the operator can operate the throttle lever 14 to drive the engine to drive the saw chain 31 at a high speed to perform a cutting operation. That is, the chainsaw 1 is in a cutting operation.
- FIG. 2 shows the configuration when the sharpening lever 15 is in the second state, as in FIG. In this state, the operator pulls the lever upper portion 15B upward against the elastic force of the spring from the state of FIG. 1 and rotates the sharpening operation lever 15 counterclockwise in FIG. . As a result, the grindstone 40 comes into contact with the saw chain 31 stretched over the drive gear 21. As described above, when the operator pulls the lever upper portion 15B upward while the saw chain 31 is driven, the saw chain 31 is sharpened. That is, the second state is a state in which the sharpening operation lever (polishing device) 15 is operated, and the chainsaw 1 is in the sharpening operation.
- the second state is a state in which the sharpening operation lever (polishing device) 15 is operated, and the chainsaw 1 is in the sharpening operation.
- the setting operation of the chain saw 1 can be performed by changing the setting operation lever 15 having the above configuration from the first state (FIG. 1) to the second state (FIG. 2).
- the dressing work is performed inside the cover mounting portion 11 (cover) in FIGS. 1 and 2, scattering of dust and the like generated during the dressing work is also reduced.
- the engine in accordance with the operation of the sharpening operation lever 15, the engine is controlled, and in particular, the rotational speed of the drive gear 21 (drive shaft 22) suitable for sharpening is controlled.
- the control of the rotation speed different control is performed when it is determined that there is a setting work and when it is determined that there is no setting work. Therefore, in order to recognize whether the dressing lever 15 is in the first state or the second state, a micro switch (switch: detecting means) is provided on the left side of the dressing lever 15 in FIGS. ) 41 is fixed to the main body 10.
- switch detecting means
- the switch operating portion 15C which is a part of the sharpening lever 15, abuts against the micro switch 41 and presses it, so that the micro switch 41 is turned on.
- the dressing operation lever 15 is urged clockwise in FIG. 1 by the spring. Therefore, when the external force is not applied to the dressing operation lever 15, the state where the micro switch 41 is turned on is maintained. .
- the switch operating portion 15C is separated from the micro switch 41 on the right side in the drawing, so that the micro switch 41 is turned off. That is, it can be determined that the micro switch 41 is switched from the on state to the off state, thereby shifting from the first state to the second state (the sharpening lever 15 has been operated). That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the first state of the setting operation lever 15 is a state for performing a normal cutting operation, and is a state in which the setting operation lever 15 is not operated.
- the second state of the sharpening lever 15 is a state in which the normal cutting operation cannot be performed and / or the sharpening lever 15 is operated even when the grindstone 40 and the saw chain 31 are not in contact with each other. It is in a state. In other words, the second state is a state in which the sharpening lever 15 is operated. It is also possible to directly recognize the contact between the grindstone 40 and the saw chain 31 by detecting the pressure acting on the sharpening operation lever 15, and this state may be the second state of the present application. However, according to the configuration of the embodiment of the present application, a slight play is provided between the first state and the state where the grindstone 40 and the saw chain 31 are actually in contact with each other. Even when a delay or the like occurs in control by means, it is useful because it can be surely acted on.
- the rotational speed of the engine crankshaft is roughly classified into an idling state and a driving state during engine operation, and this switching is performed by operating the throttle lever (rotational speed adjusting means) 14. .
- Both the cutting operation and the sharpening operation are performed in a driving state (a state where the saw chain 31 is driven).
- the sharpening operation lever 15 is changed from the first state to the second state in the driving state (when the micro switch 41 is turned from on to off)
- the operation of the throttle lever 14 is involved.
- a control means for limiting the rotational speed of the crankshaft is provided.
- the control means controls the rotation speed R of the crankshaft so that R1 ⁇ R ⁇ R2 within a range suitable for the sharpening work by turning the micro switch 41 from on to off.
- the sharpening operation is performed when the driven saw chain 31 and the grindstone 40 come into contact with each other.
- the control means described above also prevents the conspicuous work from being performed in such an erroneous procedure. In other words, also in the driving procedure, different control is performed when it is determined that the dressing operation is performed and when it is determined that the dressing operation is not performed.
- the control of the rotational speed of the crankshaft during the sharpening operation performed by the control means will be described. Since the dressing operation requires that the saw chain 31 is driven, the lower limit of the rotational speed range of the drive shaft 22 (drive gear 21) is sufficiently higher than 0 rpm to enable the dressing operation. It is considered to be a large value. On the other hand, as described above, when the crankshaft is idling, power is not transmitted to the drive shaft 22 and the rotational speed of the drive gear 21 becomes zero.
- the cutting operation is performed in a state where the operator maximizes the operation amount of the throttle lever 14 and sets the rotation speed R of the crankshaft to the maximum value RC.
- R is controlled so that R2 ⁇ RC and R0 ⁇ R1 ⁇ R ⁇ R2 ⁇ RC.
- R1 and R2 are set corresponding to a range in which the cutting performance of the saw chain 31 is sufficiently recovered.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B show an example of the time lapse of the crankshaft rotation speed R and the microswitch 41 on / off state when performing the sharpening work in an appropriate procedure.
- the initial state is a state in which neither the throttle lever 14 nor the sharpening operation lever 15 is operated (the engine is idling and the sharpening lever 15 is in the first state). From this state, when the operator operates the throttle lever 14 and maximizes the amount of operation, the driving state is started, the rotational speed R of the crankshaft increases, and reaches its maximum value RC. After that, the worker operates the sharpening operation lever 15 in the second state while the operation amount of the throttle lever 14 is maximized at the elapsed time t0.
- the operator can perform the sharpening operation of the saw chain 31 only by operating the sharpening operation lever 15 with the operation amount of the throttle lever 14 being maximized.
- the sharpening operation is performed in a state where the traveling speed of the saw chain 31 is appropriately adjusted, the cutting performance of the saw chain 31 can be improved, and the wear of the grindstone 40 is also suppressed.
- FIG. 4 shows a control system for performing the above-described control in the chain saw 1.
- the engine 50 is used as a power source, and the crankshaft (power shaft) 51 rotates by being connected via a connecting rod 54 and a piston 53 that moves up and down in the cylinder 52.
- the rotational speed R or the rotational output of the crankshaft 51 is determined by the amount of air-fuel mixture supplied by the carburetor 55 connected in the cylinder 52, and this adjustment is performed by turning the throttle shaft 551 provided in the carburetor 55. Set by angle.
- the throttle shaft 551 is connected to the throttle lever 14 with a wire or the like so as to be interlocked with the operation of the throttle lever 14 in FIG.
- a magnet wheel 56 on which permanent magnets are arranged is fixed to the crankshaft 51, and the magnetowheel 56 also rotates outside the crankcase 57 as the crankshaft 51 rotates.
- an ignition unit 58 for performing an ignition operation in the engine 50 is fixed to the cylinder 52 with a predetermined gap from the outer peripheral surface of the magneto wheel 56.
- electric power is generated by the primary coil provided in the ignition unit 58, and this electric power is boosted by the secondary coil 581 also provided in the ignition unit 58 and attached to the cylinder 52.
- the spark plug 59 is supplied through a high-voltage cord 60. Since the spark plug 59 ignites the air-fuel mixture compressed by the piston 53, this ignition timing (power supply timing to the spark plug 59) is set near the top dead center of the piston 53, and the crankshaft 51 rotates once. One ignition is performed at this timing.
- An engine stop switch 61 is connected to the ignition unit 58 via a wiring 62.
- the output of the ignition unit 58 (secondary coil 281) flows to the ground side via the engine stop switch 61, so that power supply to the spark plug 59 is stopped.
- the engine 50 (crankshaft 51) stops.
- the engine stop switch 61 is normally turned off (a state switched to the side opposite to the ground side) and is operated when the operator stops the engine 50 in operation.
- the ignition unit 58 is also provided with a control unit (control means) 582 that limits the power supplied to the spark plug 59 in accordance with the on / off of the micro switch 41.
- a micro switch 41 for recognizing the state of the sharpening lever 15 is connected to the ignition unit 58 (control unit 582) via a wiring 63.
- FIG. 3C is a diagram showing the time passage of the output of the ignition unit 58 (secondary coil 581) (power supply to the spark plug 59) in this case in correspondence with FIGS. 3A and 3B. is there.
- the micro switch 41 is on before the elapsed time t0, the normal operation as described above is performed, and the rotational speed R can be set to the maximum value RC according to the operation of the throttle lever 14.
- this power supply is precisely only once per rotation of the crankshaft 51, this power supply is actually discrete, and this period is, for example, the rotational speed of the crankshaft 51. Is 10,000 msec, which is extremely shorter than the on / off period of the microswitch 41 in FIG. For this reason, before the elapsed time t0 in FIG. 3C, this power supply is shown continuously for convenience.
- the output of the secondary coil 581 is turned on (ignition) during the period T1 and off (misfire) during the period T2 by the control unit 582.
- the period is periodically controlled by the period T1 + T2.
- the period T1 and the period T2 are repeated. As a result, the output of the engine 50 is suppressed.
- the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 can be reduced even when the state of the throttle shaft 551 (throttle lever 14) is the same as when the microswitch 41 is turned on.
- the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 does not immediately decrease immediately after the micro switch 41 is turned off, the rotational output of the crankshaft 51 decreases, so that the grindstone 40 comes into contact with the saw chain 31.
- the drive gear 21 (power shaft 22) is braked, the crankshaft 51 is also braked, and the rotational speed R decreases.
- the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 is set to RC (maximum value) and the state of the throttle shaft 551 (throttle lever 14) is the same in FIG.
- the speed R can be reduced.
- the rotational speed R decreases greatly.
- the electric power generated in the ignition unit 58 along with the rotation of the magnet wheel 56 periodically changes according to the rotation period of the magneto wheel 56 (crankshaft 51).
- the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 can be recognized. Therefore, the control unit 582 can feed back the current rotation speed R and adjust T2 / T1 to set the rotation speed R in a desired range (R1 ⁇ R ⁇ R2).
- other methods can be used as a method of reducing or adjusting the rotational speed of the crankshaft 51 by adjusting the power supplied to the spark plug 59. For example, instead of not performing ignition at all in the period T2, the ignition timing may be thinned out, that is, one of a plurality of consecutive ignition timings may be misfired.
- the chain saw 1 is provided with the control unit (control unit) 582 that performs control to reduce the rotation speed R of the crankshaft 51 regardless of the operation of the throttle lever (rotation speed adjustment unit) 14.
- the control unit 582 can also recognize the actual rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 using the output of the secondary coil 581 or the primary coil used to supply power to the spark plug 59, that is, the secondary coil. 581 is also used as a rotational speed recognition means.
- the control means can control the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 using the rotational speed recognition means.
- FIG. 3 shows the situation when the sharpening work is performed according to an appropriate procedure.
- the sharpening operation is performed in an incorrect procedure, that is, the saw chain 31 is not driven and the grindstone 40 and the saw chain 31 are in contact with each other, or the grindstone 40 and the saw chain 31 are not in contact with each other.
- the control when the operator tries to drive the saw chain 31 in the state where the sharpening lever is operated (second state) will be described.
- the control unit 582 can similarly recognize the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51. Therefore, when R0 is set as a threshold and R ⁇ R0, the saw chain 31 is not driven. Judgment can be made. Further, the control unit 582 can recognize that the sharpening operation lever 15 is in the second state when the micro switch 41 is off. As described above, it is not desirable to drive the saw chain 31 from this state in order to prevent the sharpening work from being performed in an incorrect procedure. Therefore, the control unit 582 performs control so as not to increase the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 from this state.
- control unit 582 may suppress an increase in the rotational speed of the crankshaft 51 by mechanically fixing the throttle lever 14 or the throttle shaft 551.
- the lower limit value R1 may be used instead of the R0 as a determination threshold for performing the above control. Even in this case, since the rotation speed of the crankshaft 51 is suppressed from rapidly rising from a state below the appropriate range, the same effect is produced.
- control unit (control unit) 582 also prevents the sharpening work from being performed in an incorrect procedure.
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control unit 582 performed in the chain saw 1 described above. Here, it is determined whether a cutting operation or a sharpening operation is performed, and the engine 50 (the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51) is appropriately controlled according to each operation. In the dressing work, control is performed so that the dressing work is not performed unless an appropriate procedure is performed.
- the engine (power source) 50 is started (started) (S1). As described above, regardless of whether the engine 50 is in the idling state or the driving state, when the engine 50 is operating, this can be recognized by the rotational speed recognition means.
- the control unit 582 determines whether or not the sharpening operation lever (shaping operation unit: polishing apparatus) 15 is operating by recognizing whether the micro switch 41 is off or on ( S2). If it is determined that the sharpening lever 15 is not operating (the micro switch 41 is on: the first state), the control unit 582, as shown in FIG. Regardless of the state, normal engine control is performed (S3). As a result, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the operator maximizes the amount of operation of the throttle lever 14, the rotational speed R of the crankshaft R becomes the maximum value RC, and the saw chain 31 rotates at a high speed. Driven. In this state, the operator can perform a cutting operation. Thereafter, the state of the micro switch 41 is determined again (S2), and this state is maintained as long as the sharpening lever 15 is not operated, and the operator can perform a cutting operation.
- the state of the micro switch 41 is determined again (S2), and this state is maintained as long as the sharpening lever 15 is not operated, and the operator can
- the control unit 582 is currently in the saw chain 31. It is determined whether or not is driven (S4). As described above, this can be recognized by the rotation speed R of the crankshaft 51 (the state of the engine 50). Alternatively, a means for recognizing the operation state of the drive shaft 22 (drive gear 21) and the saw chain 31 may be provided, and this determination may be performed.
- the control part 582 performs the control which does not raise the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 as mentioned above (S6).
- this control is performed by restricting ignition, the saw chain 31 is not driven in spite of the operation of the throttle lever 14, so that the procedure for the sharpening work is appropriate. The operator can recognize that this is not done.
- the operator once releases the sharpening operation lever 15 (S2) and then operates the throttle lever 14 again to increase the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 and drive the saw chain 31. Yes (S3). Thereafter, when the sharpening operation lever 15 is operated again (S2), since the saw chain 31 is now driven (S4), the sharpening operation is performed with the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 being limited ( S5).
- the rotational speed R of the crankshaft 51 is in a certain range (between R1 and R2) lower than the maximum value RC.
- R1 and R2 may be close to each other, and control may be performed such that the rotation speed R is constant in the second state.
- the time required for one sharpening operation (the time for the grindstone 40 to continuously contact the saw chain 31) is often set to, for example, several seconds in practice and is much larger than the time required for one cutting operation. Short. Therefore, in practice, sufficient effects can be obtained even if the rotational speed R is reduced only during this short period without strictly controlling the rotational speed R as described above during the sharpening operation. Even in such a case, if the value of the rotational speed R immediately after the control for reducing the rotational speed R is reproducible, the reproducibility of the dressing work can be sufficiently increased.
- the sharpening operation is always performed in a state where the operation amount of the throttle lever 14 is maximized, and the rotation speed R immediately after the control for reducing the rotation speed R in this state is the above R1. What is necessary is just to set so that it may exist in the range of R2. As a result, it is possible to perform a good sharpening operation with good reproducibility.
- the control for reducing the rotational speed R is performed by controlling the ignition of the engine 50 regardless of the operation amount of the throttle lever 14.
- the rotational speed R can be lowered by mechanically pushing back the throttle lever or the throttle shaft and forcibly changing the operation amount of the throttle lever (that is, the amount of fuel or air).
- the sharpening work is always performed in a direction that maximizes the operation amount of the throttle lever. After that, when the sharpening lever is operated (S2) and it is recognized that the saw chain is driven (S4), the operation amount of the throttle lever is smaller than that from the position where the operation amount becomes maximum.
- the rotational speed R can be reduced by performing the control to mechanically push back to the position at the time of the sharpening work (S5).
- the position at the time of the sharpening work is a position between the minimum (idling state) and the maximum operation amount.
- This operation can be performed, for example, by causing the control unit (control unit) to pass a current through the solenoid coil (turning on the solenoid coil). If the setting is such that the solenoid coil is turned off when the operator removes his hand from the sharpening lever, the operation shown in FIG. 5 can be similarly performed.
- the control unit can also adjust the rotational speed R to a predetermined range by adjusting the push-back amount of the throttle lever.
- a configuration other than the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be used as a configuration for realizing the above operation.
- the position / configuration of the microswitch is arbitrary as long as it can be detected that the sharpening lever 15 has changed from the first state (FIG. 1) to the second state (FIG. 2).
- the setting angle of the sharpening operation lever 15 in the second state (FIG. 2) is limited by the contact between the grindstone 40 and the saw chain 31.
- the setting angle of the sharpening operation lever 18 in the second state (FIG. 2) varies depending on the wear state of the grindstone 40, for example, as shown in FIG.
- the first state a state in which a normal cutting operation is performed
- the second state a normal cutting operation is not performed
- the saw chain 31 is conspicuous instead.
- This state is set by the sharpening operation lever (shaping operation unit) 15.
- the worker performs the cutting work in the first state (the state where the worker does not touch the sharpening operation lever 15), and the worker recognizes that the cutting speed is slow at this time, for example, The cutting speed can be recovered (improved) by performing the sharpening operation.
- the grindstone (shaping member) 40 and the saw chain 31 are consumables that wear each time they are used, and when these wears are advanced, that is, when their service life is approaching, sharpening work is performed. More preferably, the grindstone 40 and the saw chain 31 are replaced. Therefore, in such a case, it is effective to notify the worker that the service life has been reached instead of performing the sharpening work even when the worker tries to perform the sharpening work.
- the chainsaw 2 when the operator tries to perform the setting work, it is determined that the wear of the grindstone 40 and the saw chain 31 has progressed.
- a state (third state) in which the driving of the chain 31 is stopped is also set in addition to the first and second states.
- the sharpening operation in the second state is executed for a predetermined set time. Therefore, in the chain saw 2, in the second state, the driving of the saw chain 31 stops after the set time has elapsed.
- FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a configuration relating to the control of the chainsaw 2.
- the motor 70 used as a power source here is a well-known three-phase DC brushless motor.
- the motor 70 is driven by a DC voltage from the battery 71, and the DC voltage is sequentially switched and supplied to three-phase coils (U-phase, V-phase, W-phase) by an inverter 72, thereby fixing the permanent magnet.
- the rotor (rotor: rotating shaft) 70A thus rotated rotates.
- the rotor position detection circuit 74 recognizes the actual rotational position of the rotor from the outputs of the three position sensors 73 provided at a phase interval of 120 ° in the circumferential direction of the rotation, and the motor rotational speed is determined from the change over time.
- the detection circuit (rotational speed recognition means) 75 can recognize the actual rotational speed (rotational speed).
- the inverter 72 includes six switching elements (Q1 to Q6), and ON / OFF of the gates of Q1 to Q6 is controlled by the control signal output circuit 76 so that the motor 70 performs an appropriate rotation operation.
- the rotor 70A is a power shaft in the chain saw 2.
- a calculation unit (control means) 77 formed of a microprocessor controls the entire chain saw 2. Therefore, the arithmetic unit 77 controls the rotation speed of the motor 70 via the control signal output circuit 76 according to the information on the rotation speed of the rotor obtained by the motor rotation speed detection circuit 75. At this time, the current actually supplied for driving the motor 70 can be recognized by the motor current detection circuit 79 detecting the voltage across the current detection resistor 78, and this information is also calculated by the calculation unit 76. To enter. As a result, the calculation unit 77 can precisely control the rotation of the motor 70.

Therefore, in FIG. 7, the setting angle range of the sharpening operation lever 15 corresponding to the case where the grinding work 40 and the saw chain 31 are not worn and the sharpening work is properly performed can be set to B. It is presumed that the wear of the grindstone 40 and / or the saw chain 31 is progressing in the range C which is on the counterclockwise side than this.
- the grindstone 40 is detachable so that it can be replaced when it is worn, there is a possibility that the grindstone 40 is not attached to the sharpening operation lever 15. Moreover, the saw chain 31 may be removed from the sprocket 21 for convenience during maintenance or transportation. Even in such an abnormal state, the setting angle of the sharpening lever 15 is in the range of C.
- the first state when the angle is in the range A, the second state when the angle is in the range B, and the third state when the angle is in the range C is the state. Since the setting lever 15 is urged clockwise, the first state is set when the setting lever 15 is not operated, and the second state is set when the setting lever 15 is operated. , One of the third states. When the second state is reached, the normal cutting operation can be performed as the first state after the sharpening operation is completed. However, when the third state is reached, the sharpening operation is performed. Therefore, it is necessary to replace (mount) the grindstone 40 and the saw chain 31.
