Abstract:
An electric power tool in one aspect of the disclosure comprises an operation unit, a bridge circuit having a plurality of switching elements, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to select from the plurality of switching elements a pair of switching elements forming a current path of a motor. The control unit selectively executes one of non-complementary PWM in which one of the selected switching elements is turned on and the other turned on/off, and complementary PWM in which, in addition to the same control as that of the non-complementary PWM, a switching element connected to the same terminal of the motor as the other of the selected switching elements is turned on/off so that an on/off state of the switching element is reversed to that of the other of the selected switching elements.
Abstract:
A chain saw as a power tool includes a combustion engine and an electric motor. The chain saw has a driving shaft which drives a saw chain, a battery pack which provides electric current to the electric motor, a controller which is connected to the battery pack, and a sensor which detects a driving state of a driving mechanism including the combustion engine and the electric motor. In the chain saw, the saw chain is driven in a hybrid driving mode in which both the combustion engine and the electric motor drive the driving shaft. Further, the controller controls a driving of the combustion engine based on a detection result of the sensor.
Abstract:
An electric working machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor and a controller. The motor is configured to be electrically coupled to a battery pack and to be driven with electric power from the battery pack. The controller is configured to acquire an internal resistance information of the battery pack and to change control of the motor based on the internal resistance information acquired.
Abstract:
An electric working machine includes an attachment portion, a motor, and a controller. Multiple types of tip tools are alternatively attached to the attachment portion. The motor drives the tip tool attached to the attachment portion. The controller has first start control and second start control. The controller is configured to execute the first start control so as to determine the type of the tip tool when not having tool type information, and configured to execute the second start control when having the tool type information.
Abstract:
An electric working machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes two or more circuits and a control circuit. The control circuit executes two or more diagnoses one by one in order. The diagnoses at least include a first diagnosis and a second diagnosis. The first diagnosis diagnoses a first circuit. The second diagnosis diagnoses a second circuit. The control circuit executes the first diagnosis or the second diagnosis at a first diagnosis timing. The control circuit executes the first diagnosis or the second diagnosis at a second diagnosis timing. The second diagnosis timing follows the first diagnosis timing.
Abstract:
An electric power tool according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a main body, a motor, a tool holder configured to hold a tool bit, a hammer, a motion converter, a rotation transmitter, a first load detector, a second load detector, and a motor controller. The first load detector detects, based on information indicating a drive state of the motor, a load imposed from a work piece to the tool bit. The second load detector detects, based on information indicating a behavior of the main body, a load imposed from the work piece to the tool bit. The motor controller sets an upper limit of rotational speed of the motor to a predetermined no-load rotational speed in response to no-load on the tool bit being detected by both the first load detector and the second load detector.
Abstract:
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to an electric power tool including a motor, an operation unit, a bridge circuit, and a control unit. The control unit performs a brake control when the motor is braked, and performs a regenerative current inhibition control before stopping the brake control when a drive command is inputted to the operation unit while the brake control is performed.
Abstract:
A chain saw as a power tool includes a combustion engine and an electric motor. The chain saw has a driving shaft which drives a saw chain, a battery pack which provides electric current to the electric motor, and a controller which is connected to the battery pack. In the chain saw, both the combustion engine and the electric motor drive the driving shaft so that the driving shaft drives the saw chain. Further, the controller controls a driving of the electric motor based on a remaining capacity of the battery pack.
Abstract:
A braking apparatus for a three-phase brushless motor is provided in a motor-driven appliance, and includes a switching circuit having six switching elements and a brake control device. The brake control device executes two-phase short-circuit control in braking control in which a braking force is generated in the motor. In the two-phase short-circuit control, an on/off state of each of the switching elements is set in such a manner that two out of three conduction paths constituting one of a positive electrode side conduction path that connects three terminals of the motor and a positive electrode side of a direct current power source and a negative electrode side conduction path that connects the three terminals and a negative electrode side of the power source are in a conducting state and other of the three conduction paths is in a non-conducting state.
Abstract:
An electric work machine (1), such as a power tool, comprises a motor (50), a manipulatable part (12) such as a trigger switch, and a control part (36). The motor is energized with electric current supplied by a battery pack (22). By manipulating the manipulatable part, the control part energizes the motor. The control part also acquires information concerning the state of the battery from the battery pack, and, if appropriate based on the information obtained from the battery pack, takes measures (such as limiting a discharge current) to restrain, delay and possibly avert the performance of a protection (discharge-prohibited) operation by the battery pack.
