Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric tools, and in particular to an electric tool and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Power tools are widely used hand-held tools, which have gradually replaced pure manual tools. Among them, electric drilling tools, as the most commonly used handheld power tools, have been widely researched and developed.

[0003] The output power of electric drilling tools is mainly adjusted by pulling the trigger to adjust the motor duty cycle. Common triggers are generally made of potentiometers, which are usually composed of a resistor and a movable brush. When the brush moves along the resistor, the output end can obtain a voltage value that is related to the displacement. Specifically for electric drilling tools, as the amount of trigger pulling increases, the voltage value obtained by the controller end also increases. The duty cycle of the motor is determined based on the correspondence between the pre-stored voltage value and the motor duty cycle. In general, the larger the voltage value, the larger the motor duty cycle, that is, the larger the amount of trigger pulling, the larger the motor duty cycle. Conversely, the smaller the amount of trigger pulling, the smaller the motor duty cycle, the lower the power, the smaller the torque, and the smaller the driving force.

[0004] When the power tool is in impact mode, the driving force of the motor is small when the trigger is pulled less. The impact mechanism is often unable to form an impact on the spindle along the axis of the spindle under a small driving force, resulting in failure to start the hammer. The hammer can only be successfully started by increasing the trigger pull amount. The hammer starting speed is slow, resulting in lower efficiency of the power tool. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an electric tool and a control method thereof to address the problems of slow hammer starting speed and low working efficiency when the electric tool is in impact mode.

[0058] Embodiment 1

[0059] An embodiment of the present invention provides an electric tool having an impact mode and a non-impact mode, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a housing 10, a trigger switch 300, a spindle 40 disposed inside the housing 10, the end of which is used to mount the tool head 100, a motor 20 disposed inside the housing 10 for providing driving force, and an impact mechanism 30 driven by the motor 20. The impact mechanism 30 can use the driving force of the motor 20 to form an impact on the spindle 40 along the spindle axis in the impact mode, so that the spindle 40 can drive the tool head 100 to reciprocate. It also includes a mode switching member 50 that can be operated to move between a first position and a second position. When the mode switching member 50 is in the first position, the power tool is in the impact mode, and when the mode switching member 50 is in the second position, the power tool is in the non-impact mode. In addition, the electric tool also includes a detection member 60 for detecting the current position of the mode switching member 50 and a controller 70. The controller 70 is electrically connected to the detection member 60, the trigger switch 300, and the motor 20, respectively, and is used to control the duty cycle of the motor 20 according to the stroke of the trigger switch 300. In this embodiment, the controller 70 is also used to adjust the duty cycle of the motor 20 corresponding to the minimum stroke of the trigger switch to a preset value greater than zero when it is determined that the current position of the mode switching member 50 detected by the detection member 60 is the first position, that is, when the electric tool is in the impact mode.

[0060] The spindle 40 is used to receive the tool head 100 and has a central axis X. In the impact mode, the spindle 40 reciprocates along its central axis X. In the non-impact mode, the spindle 40 cannot reciprocate along its central axis X. The mode switching member 50 is used to switch the power tool between the impact mode and the non-impact mode.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the impact mechanism 30 includes a hammer 301, a guide 302, and an energy storage element 303 abutting against the hammer 301. The hammer 301 is provided with a first guide 304, and the guide 302 is provided with a second guide 305. In the impact mode, the hammer 301 rotates relative to the guide 302, so that the first guide 304 can drive the hammer 301 to overcome the force of the energy storage element 303 and move along the central axis X toward the second axial direction A through the second guide 305, and the energy storage element 303 can drive the hammer 301 to move along the central axis X toward the first axial direction B opposite to the second axial direction A to impact the main shaft 40; in the non-impact mode, the hammer 301 and the guide 302 do not rotate relative to each other. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the second axial direction A is horizontally to the left, and the first axial direction B is horizontally to the right.

[0062] As an optional implementation, the electric tool provided in this embodiment further includes a transmission mechanism 80, which is used to transmit the driving force of the motor 20 to at least one of the hammer 301 and the guide member 302. The mode switching member 50 is operable to switch between a first position and a second position. When the mode switching member 50 is in the first position, the hammer 301 can rotate relative to the guide member 302, that is, there is relative rotation between the two, and the electric tool is in an impact mode; when the mode switching member 50 is in the second position, the guide member 302 can be driven to rotate by the motor 20, but the hammer 301 and the guide member 302 do not rotate relative to each other, and the electric tool is in a non-impact mode.

[0063] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, an impact switching member 90 is also included. The mode switching member 50 can be operated to move between a first position and a second position. In practice, the engagement or separation of the impact switching member 90 and the guide member 302 is achieved by position switching of the mode switching member 50 . Specifically, when the mode switching member 50 is in the first position, the impact switching member 90 is engaged with the guide member 302, and the guide member 302 is fixed relative to the shell 10. At this time, driven by the motor 20, the hammer 301 rotates relative to the guide member 302, so that the first guide member can drive the hammer 301 through the second guide member to overcome the force of the energy storage element 303 and move along the center axis X toward the second axial direction A. The energy storage element 303 can drive the hammer 301 along the center axis X toward the first axial direction B opposite to the second axial direction A to impact the spindle 40, and the power tool enters the impact mode; when the mode switching member 50 moves to the second position, the impact switching member 90 is separated from the guide member 302, the guide member 302 can rotate relative to the shell 10, the hammer 301 and the guide member 302 have no relative rotation, and the power tool enters the non-impact mode.

[0064] In this embodiment, the mode switching member 50 is rotatably arranged relative to the housing 10, and drives the impact switching member 90 to move axially by rotating. In this way, the operating space of the mode switching member 50 can be reduced. In this way, when switching between the second position and the first position, the mode switching member 50 realizes position switching by rotating a certain angle. Of course, as an alternative embodiment, the mode switching member 50 can also move axially relative to the housing 10 to change its position, thereby driving the impact switching member 90 to move axially.

[0065] The impact switching member 90 is provided with a first fixed tooth 901, and the guide member 302 is provided with a second fixed tooth 3021. The mode switching member 50 rotates relative to the housing 10 and drives the impact switching member 90 to move along the centerline axis X so that the first fixed tooth 901 is engaged with or separated from the second fixed tooth 3021. When the first fixed tooth 901 is engaged with the second fixed tooth 3021, the impact switching member 90 can limit the movement of the guide member 302, the guide member 302 is fixed relative to the housing 10, and the power tool enters the impact mode. When the first fixed tooth 901 is separated from the second fixed tooth 3021, the guide member 302 can rotate relative to the housing 10, and the power tool enters the non-impact mode.

[0066] As an optional implementation, Figure 1 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the detection member 60 includes a first detection element 601 and a second detection element 602, one of which is fixed to the mode switching member 50, and the other is fixed to the housing 10. When the mode switching member 50 is in the first position, the second detection element 602 falls within the detection range of the first detection element 601, and when the mode switching member 50 is in the second position, the second detection element 602 does not fall within the detection range of the first detection element 601. Among them, the first detection element 601 is used to detect the second detection element 602, and has a certain detection range. When the rotating mode switching member 50 is at the first position, the second detection element 602 falls within the detection range of the first detection element 601, and when the rotating mode switching member 50 is at the second position, the second detection element 602 does not fall within the detection range of the first detection element 601.

[0067] In this embodiment, the mode switching member 50 and the housing 10 are generally in a sleeve position relationship, and at least part of them are directly opposite to each other. The mode switching member 50 can be sleeved on the outside of the housing 10, and the housing 10 can also be sleeved on the outside of the mode switching member 50. In the case where the housing 10 is sleeved on the outside of the mode switching member 50, at least part of the structure of the mode switching member 50 is exposed to the outside for rotation by the user, that is, the housing 10 is sleeved on a part of the mode switching member 50. In addition, when the mode switching member 50 is rotated, the housing 10 is fixed.

[0068] As an optional embodiment, the shell 10 is mounted on the outside of the mode switching member 50, the outer wall of the mode switching member 50 is provided with a first groove 501, the inner wall of the shell 10 is provided with a second groove 101, one of the first detection element 601 and the second detection element 602 is fixed in the first groove 501, and the other of the two is fixed in the second groove 101.

[0069] Assuming that the first detection element 601 is fixed in the first groove 501, and the second detection element 602 falls into the second groove 101, during the process of rotating the mode switching member 50 to the first position, the first groove 501 gradually approaches the second groove 101, thereby making the first detection element 601 in the first groove 501 gradually approach the second detection element 602 in the second groove 101, and when the mode switching member 50 is in the first position, the second detection element 602 in the second groove 101 falls into the detection range of the first detection element 601 in the first groove 501. During the process of rotating the mode switching member 50 to the second position, the first groove 501 gradually moves away from the second groove 101, and when the mode switching member 50 is in the second position, the second detection element 602 in the second groove 101 does not fall into the detection range of the first detection element 601 in the first groove 501.

[0070] Similarly, when the first detection element 601 is fixed in the second groove 101 and the second detection element 602 is fixed in the first groove 501, when the mode switching member 50 is in the first position, the second detection element 602 in the first groove 501 falls into the detection range of the first detection element 601 in the second groove 101. When the mode switching member 50 is rotated to the second position, the first groove 501 gradually moves away from the second groove 101. When the mode switching member 50 is in the second position, the second detection element 602 in the first groove 501 does not fall into the detection range of the first detection element 601 in the second groove 101.

[0071] Of course, the first detection element 601 and the second detection element 602 may be fixed to the mode switching member 50 or the housing 10 in other ways, and are not limited to the way of setting the grooves.

[0072] As an optional implementation, the first detection element 601 is a Hall sensor, and the second detection element 602 is a magnet. The Hall sensor is a magnetic field sensor made based on the Hall effect, and the electrical parameters (such as voltage) output by it will change with the change of the magnetic field strength. When the mode switching element 50 is in the first position, the magnetic field strength sensed by the Hall sensor is different from the magnetic field strength sensed by the Hall sensor when the mode switching element 50 is in the second position, so the output electrical parameters are also different, and the position of the mode switching element 50 is detected accordingly.

[0073] As a variation, the first detection element 601 may be a proximity sensor, and the second detection element 602 may be a magnet. The principle of the proximity sensor is similar to that of the Hall sensor, and will not be described in detail here.

[0074] As another variation, the first detection element 601 is an optical sensor, and the second detection element 602 is an optical identification code. The optical sensor may be a laser sensor, and the optical identification code may be a plurality of concave-convex structures arranged at intervals. When the mode switching member 50 is in the first position, the laser emitted by the laser sensor can irradiate the concave-convex structure. Since the distances from the laser to the convex surface and the concave surface are different, the distance signal reflected by the optical identification code received at the laser sensor has relatively regular differences, thereby detecting the optical identification code. When the mode switching member 50 is in the second position, the reflected signal received by the laser sensor does not have the above-mentioned characteristics, and the position of the mode switching member 50 is detected accordingly.

[0075] It should be noted that the structure of the optical identification code can be various, such as setting blocks with black and white alternations, or setting the surface of one of two adjacent blocks as an inclined surface, which can affect the signal received by the laser sensor.

[0076] It should also be noted that the first detection element 601 and the second detection element 602 are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and other elements that can achieve the same function are applicable to the present application.

[0077] The following describes the starting process of the power tool:

[0078] Rotate the mode switching member 50 to the desired position, press the trigger switch 300, connect the controller 70 to the battery 200, power on the controller 70, and supply power to the motor 20. The detection member 60 detects the position of the mode switching member 50 and sends the position information to the controller 70. The controller 70 judges the position information. When the mode switching member 50 is in the first position, that is, the power tool is in the impact mode, the controller 70 sends a control signal to the motor 20 to adjust the initial duty cycle of the motor 20 (that is, the motor duty cycle corresponding to the minimum stroke of the trigger switch, hereinafter referred to as the initial duty cycle) to a preset value greater than zero, and the motor 20 starts.

[0079] As an optional implementation, the preset value is less than or equal to 50%. Further preferably, the preset value is set to 50%. When the initial duty cycle of the motor is set to 50%, while ensuring that the motor can provide sufficient driving force to drive the spindle to reciprocate, it can also ensure that the driving force of the motor will not damage the load.

[0080] like Figure 7 As shown, in actual applications, the travel amount of the trigger switch 300 and the duty cycle of the motor 20 are generally linearly related. As the travel amount of the trigger switch 300 increases, the duty cycle of the motor 20 increases linearly. Figure 7In the example, taking the preset value of 50% as an example, when the electric tool is in the impact mode, the duty cycle of the motor 20 corresponding to the minimum stroke of the trigger switch 300 is 50%, and when the stroke increases from 0 to L, the duty cycle of the motor 20 increases linearly from 50% to 100%. When the electric tool is in the non-impact mode, the duty cycle of the motor 20 corresponding to the minimum stroke of the trigger switch 300 is 0, and when the stroke increases from 0 to L, the duty cycle of the motor 20 increases linearly from 0 to 100%.

[0081] It should be noted that the relationship between the trigger switch travel and the motor duty cycle can also be nonlinear, which can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0082] Of course, the initial duty cycle of the motor 20 can also be adjusted to be greater than 50%, such as 60%, 65%, 70%, etc., and the preset value can be set according to actual needs. The duty cycle of the motor 20 increases, that is, the speed of the motor 20 increases, the power increases, and the torque becomes larger, so that when the power tool is in the impact mode, the motor 20 can also provide sufficient driving force to form an impact on the main shaft 40 along the axial direction of the main shaft 40 when the stroke of the trigger switch 300 is small, so as to achieve rapid hammer start and improve the working efficiency of the power tool.

[0083] Embodiment 2

[0084] An embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for the electric tool provided in Embodiment 1, comprising the following steps:

[0085] Step S21, detecting the current position of the mode switching member 50. Specifically, the current position of the mode switching member 50 is detected by the detection member 60. The specific detection method can refer to the relevant description in the first embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0086] Step S22 : adjusting the duty cycle of the motor 20 corresponding to the minimum stroke of the trigger switch 300 according to the current position of the mode switching member 50 .

[0087] Specifically, step S22 includes:

[0088] Step S220: Determine the mode of the power tool according to the current position of the mode switching member 50. The position of the mode switching member 50 may include a first position and a second position. When the mode switching member 50 is in the first position, the power tool is in the impact mode. When the mode switching member 50 is in the second position, the power tool is in the non-impact mode.

[0089] Step S221: When it is determined that the electric tool is in the impact mode, the duty cycle of the motor corresponding to the minimum stroke of the trigger switch is adjusted to a preset value greater than zero. The preset value can be set to be greater than 0, less than or equal to 50%, preferably 50%. The preset value can be set according to actual needs so that the motor 20 can provide sufficient driving force to form an impact on the main shaft 40 along the axial direction of the main shaft 40 to achieve rapid hammering.

[0090] When it is determined that the power tool is in the non-impact mode, the initial duty cycle of the motor 20 is not adjusted.

[0091] As an optional implementation, before step S21, the following steps are further included:

[0092] Step S20, determine and store the mapping relationship between the position of the mode switching member 50 and the mode of the power tool. Thus, when the controller 70 obtains the position information of the mode switching member 50, it can quickly determine the current mode according to the stored mapping relationship between the position of the mode switching member 50 and the mode of the power tool, and then quickly adjust the initial duty cycle of the motor 20 when in the impact mode to improve the starting efficiency of the power tool.

[0093] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined.
