Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a handheld processing device configured for use in a working position that is rotated relative to each other around a longitudinal axis of the device at a rotation angle of at least 45°, and having a device housing, a grip operation unit and a display area disposed on the outer side of the device housing, the grip operation unit including a handle extending in a main direction component parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device and finger-operable operating elements within the finger reach range of the handle, and the display area having at least one optical display element. Background Technology

[0002] This type of handheld processing equipment is particularly used as a motor-driven device in horticulture and forestry technology, such as motorized saws, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, etc., and in the construction and DIY fields as cutters or angle grinders, barbed saws, grinders, etc. During the intended operation of the equipment, it can occupy at least two different working positions, which are rotated 45° relative to each other about the longitudinal axis of the equipment. Therefore, for example, in sawing operation, a motorized saw can be optionally held in a vertical sawing position and in a horizontal sawing position rotated 90° relative to this longitudinal axis, and also held in an intermediate position. Similar considerations apply to the other devices exemplified above.

[0003] The user can activate the functions assigned to the operating element by using the fingers of the hand that grips the device at the handle, via a finger-operable element located within the finger reach of the handle. This function can be particularly related to the intended working purpose of the processing equipment, such as an on / off function for the equipment or its drive motor that drives the processing tool.

[0004] One or more optical display elements in the display area can be used accordingly for desired display functions, wherein at least one of these display functions is preferably associated with a function that can be triggered by a finger-operated operating element, for example, in such a way that the optical display element is used to display the state of the processing tool of the display device or more particularly the device selected by the user accordingly via a finger-operated operating element.

[0005] Publications US 2017 / 0089349 A1 and WO 2013 / 032374 A1, as well as patent document US 5424224B2, disclose processing equipment of this type, particularly in the form of motorized saws, lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, or leaf blowers, wherein one or more push-button operation and multiple light-emitting diode (LED) display elements are integrated in a common, combined, planar operation and display panel, which the user can operate, for example, with the thumb of his hand gripping the handle. The operation and display panel is longitudinally coupled forward to the handle extending longitudinally in the device.

[0006] In these and other processing devices with different rotating working positions, it is often desirable that a particular device status or device function can be optically displayed to the user via a display area, such that the relevant display remains easily identifiable to the user not only in one working position of the device, but also in multiple working positions, and preferably in those rotated 45° or more around the longitudinal axis of the device, without requiring the user to turn their head.

[0007] In the published document EP 2 910 342 A2, for this purpose, a display unit with a display element is proposed for a handheld machine tool (especially an angle grinder), the display element extending at least partially circumferentially at the periphery of the housing unit.

[0008] Similarly, patent document DE 43 18 980 C2 discloses a display device for a handheld machine tool (such as a drill or angle grinder). This display device has a light conductor that surrounds the device housing as a closed loop. Multiple optical display elements are arranged around the periphery of the light conductor, and these optical display elements are continuously activated along the rotation direction of the rotating tool to display the tool's rotation. The angle grinder can be turned on and off and its rotation direction changed via an operating switch located longitudinally before the light conductor loop. Two additional dot-shaped display elements are located longitudinally before the operating switch. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The object of the present invention is to provide a handheld processing device of the type described at the beginning, which has improved features, particularly in the functionality and / or construction of the display area and its relationship with the finger-operable operating elements, compared with the prior art.

[0010] The present invention solves this problem by providing a motor-driven processing apparatus having the features of claim 1. According to the invention, the display area is arranged offset relative to the operating element in the circumferential direction of the housing about the longitudinal axis of the apparatus and extends beyond the housing edges and / or extends in a curved or bent direction in the circumferential direction of the housing.

[0011] This construction and arrangement of the display area makes it easy for the user to identify the displays provided by the optical display elements in different working positions of the processing equipment. Most importantly, it facilitates the fact that the extension of the display area is not limited to a planar display plane, but rather extends circumferentially across the edges of the equipment housing and / or in a curved or zigzag direction. In this way, if the user rotates the equipment around its longitudinal axis so that he can move it from one working position to another during operation, the display area remains visible to the user.

[0012] Furthermore, the specific positional relationship of the display area with respect to the finger-operated control elements is advantageous, as the display area is arranged offset relative to the control elements in the circumferential direction of the housing around the longitudinal axis of the device. This allows the user to easily operate the control elements with their fingers without interfering with the free visibility of the display area. Moreover, this configuration allows the display area and the finger-operated control elements to be positioned close to each other and at substantially equal axial distances from the handle, or both to be positioned directly adjacent to the handle.

[0013] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the grip operation unit has a finger operation surface, an operation element is located in the finger operation surface, and the display area includes a first display surface and a second display surface that is not parallel to the first display surface. The finger operation surface and the first display surface are arranged to be adjacent to each other and / or side by side with parallel planes.

[0014] This is an advantageous design for the display area. The two non-parallel display surfaces facilitate direct visibility of the display area to the user in flipped working positions, for example, through the direct visibility of the first display surface in a first working position and the direct visibility of the second display surface in a second working position flipped relative to the first working position. Utilizing its first display surface, the display area is aligned and / or connected to the finger operating surface in a parallel plane, thereby achieving a smooth transition between the two device components without noticeable shoulders or protrusions. In alternative embodiments, the display area comprises only a single planar or curved display surface and / or is arranged with a plane that is not parallel to or aligned with the finger operating surface.

[0015] In one embodiment of the invention, the display area and / or finger operating surface are received flush with or recessed within a receiving area of ​​the device housing on the outer side. This avoids the display area and / or finger operating surface protruding relative to the adjacent device housing and thus avoiding the formation of a shoulder in the contour of the device housing. In an alternative embodiment, the display area and / or finger operating surface are arranged to protrude relative to the adjacent area of ​​the device housing.

[0016] In another embodiment of the invention, the device housing surrounds the display area and the finger operating surface in the receiving area, or partially surrounds them in a portion of the circumferential region. This is an advantageous measure in terms of design and structure. The display area and the finger operating surface can be protected, for example, from impacts and other mechanical actions that could cause damage, by the device housing surrounding or, in any case, partially surrounding the two components circumferentially. In an alternative embodiment, the display area or finger operating surface protrudes from the device housing on the circumferential side, for example, in the form of a display and / or operating body protruding from the remaining device housing.

[0017] In one embodiment of the invention, the processing equipment is configured such that a receptacle made of a rubber-elastic material is placed into a receiving area, and an operating element and / or display area is contained within the receptacle. Depending on the chosen implementation, the rubber-elastic material provides a good clearance seal and / or protection of the operating element and / or display area from impacts and other mechanical forces at the edges of the operating element and / or display area relative to the surrounding equipment housing area. In an alternative embodiment, the operating element and / or display area is placed directly into the receiving area of ​​the equipment housing, or, in the case of using a receptacle made of a bending-resistant material.

[0018] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the operating element has an actuating motion direction having a directional component in the circumferential direction of the housing and / or a directional component perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the housing and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the device. This is an advantageous configuration for the operating element in terms of operational comfort and handling. The operating element can be operated, for example, by a linear movement, a pressing movement perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the device, or by a rotational or flipping movement about a rotation axis / flipping axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device. In an alternative embodiment, the operating element can be operated, for example, by a movement parallel to the longitudinal direction of the device.

[0019] In one improved embodiment of the invention, at least one optical display element of the display area extends circumferentially over the edge of the housing and / or extends in a curved or folded manner. An advantage of this embodiment is that these corresponding identical display elements remain directly visible to the user in different operating positions of the device, because not only the display area as a whole, but also the one or more display elements involved themselves extend or folded over the edge of the housing. In an alternative embodiment, all optical display elements of the display area extend, for example, only in a corresponding straight segment circumferentially over the housing.

[0020] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the display area includes at least two optical display elements arranged side-by-side in the circumferential direction of the housing and / or at least two optical display elements arranged side-by-side in the longitudinal direction of the device. This is an advantageous embodiment of the display area for many applications where the display area is to be equipped with multiple optical display elements.

[0021] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the operating element is configured to switch between multiple selectable device operating states, and at least one optical display element in the display area has multiple display states corresponding to the selectable device operating states. This allows a user to switch the processing equipment between different operating states of the device in a finger-operated manner and to directly and easily identify the corresponding selected operating state via the display area. In an alternative embodiment, the operating element may be used for other purposes, and / or in another display area outside the display area for displaying the device operating state.

[0022] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the device housing has a main housing component and a grip housing component connected to the main housing component, and a display area is held at a retainer fixed to the main housing component and / or the grip housing component, where a second finger- or hand-operable actuating element is held. This is a structurally advantageous implementation of the retention of the device housing and the display area. Here, the retainer holding the display area and the finger-operable actuating element is additionally used to hold at least one additional actuating element. In alternative embodiments, the device housing may be constructed in different ways, and / or the display area and the actuating element may be held in other ways, such as directly at the device housing component.

[0023] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the processing device is configured as a motorized saw with a handle arranged on the upper side of the device, and a display area extends on the upper side and the right side of the device. In this case, the motorized saw can be, in particular, a so-called top-handle type.

[0024] In one embodiment of the invention, the operating element is a press-and-flip button element arranged on the upper side of the device. In this embodiment, the user can easily operate the operating element on the upper side of the device, for example, using their thumb, by pressing and / or flipping. It is particularly advantageous in this case that the operating element is located on the left side of the display area on the upper side of the device, and the user holds the device with their right hand on the handle. This is because the thumb will not obstruct the user's free view of the display area during the operating movement. In an alternative embodiment, the operating element may be, for example, a touch-sensitive touch operating element.

[0025] In another improvement of the invention, the processing device is configured as a motorized saw with a handle arranged on the back side of the device, and a display area extends on the upper side and the left side of the device. The motorized saw here can be, in particular, a so-called rear-handle type.

[0026] The nature of the display area (i.e., extending not only above the device but also to the left side) is advantageous in this and other situations where the motor saw has an auxiliary handle that arcs from the upper left to the lower left and the user frequently uses the motor saw in a working position rotated 90° clockwise, in which the left side is in the upper position. The user then has a direct view of the portion of the display area located on the left side of the device in this rotated working position. In an alternative embodiment, the display area extends, for example, on both the upper and right sides of the device.

[0027] In one embodiment of the invention, the operating element is a press-and-flip button element located on the left side of the device. This allows the user to comfortably operate the operating element, for example with the right thumb, in this type of motor saw, not only in the normal operating position (where the upper part of the device is at the top) but also in a working position rotated 90° clockwise around the longitudinal axis of the device. Here, the user applies appropriate press-and / or flip operation to the correspondingly designed operating element with their thumb. In alternative embodiments, the operating element may be located, for example, on the upper or right side of the device and / or implemented using other types of conventional operating elements.

[0039] The accompanying drawings show a handheld machining device, in an embodiment as a rear-handle type motorized saw 13 or a top-handle type motorized saw 15, wherein the machining device is configured in the embodiments described and other embodiments for use in a working position that is rotated at a rotation angle α relative to each other about the longitudinal axis L of the device. In particular, the motorized saws 13, 15 can be used in active saw operation in a normal working position (where the saw chain 19 is in a vertical plane) and in a working position rotated 90° clockwise about the longitudinal axis L of the device, as well as in all working positions in between.

[0040] The processing apparatus exemplified in these implementations includes a housing 1, a grip operation unit 2, and a display area 6 disposed on the outer side 5 of the housing 1, the display area 6 having at least one optical display element. Specifically, the display area 6... Figures 1 to 5 The embodiments include seven optical display elements 71 to 77, in Figure 6 The embodiments include five display elements 78 to 78. 12 And in Figures 7 to 10 The embodiment includes three display elements 7 13 Up to 7 15 .

[0041] The grip operation unit 2 includes a handle 3 extending in a main direction component parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the device. That is, the handle 3 extends generally parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the device, or in any case has a direction component along the longitudinal axis L that is greater than the direction component perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the device. In addition, the grip operation unit 2 includes a finger-operable operating element 4 within the finger reach range of the handle 3, that is, the operating element 4 can be operated or manipulated by the user with the fingers of the hand that grips the handle 3.

[0042] Depending on the type of saw, Figures 1 to 6 In the motorized saw 15, the handle 3 is located at the back side 15a of the device, while... Figures 7 to 10 The handle 3 of the motor saw 13 is located on the upper side 13a of the equipment. Additionally, the motor saws 13 and 15 have an auxiliary grip 21 that extends arcuately from the upper side to the lower side on the left side. When the user uses the motor saws 13 and 15 in a working position that is twisted around the longitudinal axis L of the equipment, the auxiliary grip makes it easy for the user to hold the motor saws 13 and 15.

[0043] For example, by Figure 1 , 2 As can be seen from 6 and 8, the display area 6 is arranged offset relative to the operating element 4 on the circumferential direction U of the housing about the longitudinal axis L of the device, and extends across the housing edge 8 and / or extends in a curved or bent direction on the circumferential direction U of the housing. Here, the circumferential direction U of the housing is in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the device.

[0044] In an advantageous embodiment, the grip operation unit 2, as shown in the example, has a finger operation surface 9, in which the operation element 4 is located, and the display area 6 includes a first display surface 6a and a second display surface 6b that is not parallel to the first display surface. Here, the finger operation surface 9 and the first display surface 6a are arranged adjacent to each other in alignment. Alternatively, they are arranged side by side with mutually parallel planes, as is achieved in the example shown.

[0045] In particular, Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, the first display surface 6a extends at the left side 15c of the motorized saw 15, similar to the operating element 4, while the second display area 6b extends at the upper side 15b of the device. Here, in Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the first and second display surfaces 6a, 6b are connected or transition to each other at a flip angle or bending angle between approximately 60° and 90°. Figure 6 In the variant, the first display area 6a and the second display area 6b are adjacent to each other at a flip angle of approximately 30° to 60°. Figures 1 to 5 In the implementation scheme, the finger operation surface 9 is connected parallel to the first display surface 6a. Figure 6In one variant, the finger operating surface 9 is aligned with the first display surface 6a at another flip angle, for example, between 30° and 60°.

[0046] exist Figures 7 to 10 In this embodiment, the first display area 6a is located on the upper side 13a of the machine saw 13, similar to the operating element 4, while the second display area 6b extends on the right side 13b of the machine. Here, in the example shown, the bending angle between the first and second display areas 6a and 6b is approximately 90°.

[0047] In the corresponding implementation, only the display area 6 or only the finger operation surface 9, or as in the illustrated embodiment, both components are externally flush (as in the illustrated example) or recessedly accommodated in the receiving area 10 of the device housing 1.

[0048] In a corresponding implementation, the device housing 1 closes around the display area 6 and the finger operation surface 9 within the receiving area 10, as shown in... Figures 1 to 6 As in some embodiments, or partially around the display area 6 and the finger operating surface 9 in a partial circumferential region, such as in Figures 7 to 10 As in the embodiments.

[0049] In an advantageous embodiment, the processing equipment, as in the examples of the motorized saws 13 and 15 shown, has a container 17 made of a rubber-elastic material that is placed into the receiving area 10. Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, the operating element 4 and the display area 6 are enclosed and housed within the housing 17. Figures 7 to 10 In one embodiment, only the operating element 4 is enclosed and housed; in another embodiment (not shown), only the display area 6 is enclosed and housed. Here, in Figures 7 to 10 In this embodiment, the display area 6 is abutted against a rubber-resilient housing 17. The rubber-resilient housing 17 can provide a desired gap seal at the edges of the operating element 4 and / or the display area 6. Depending on the implementation, it can additionally or alternatively intercept impacts on the display area 6 and / or the finger operating surface 9.

[0050] In a corresponding embodiment, the operating element 4 has an operating motion direction, which has a directional component in the circumferential direction U of the housing and / or a directional component perpendicular to the circumferential direction U of the housing and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the device. Figures 1 to 5In this embodiment, the operating element 4 is a press-to-flip button element 16 located on the left side 15c of the device. The user, for example, can selectively press the press-to-flip button element 16 from an upward angle in direction B or from a downward angle in direction B' using the thumb of their hand gripping the handle 3. This causes the operating element 4 to flip or rotate around a preset, preferably relatively small, rotational travel axis (not shown). In this case, the flip-to-rotation operation has not only a directional component in the circumferential direction U of the housing but also a radially inward directional component, i.e., perpendicular to the circumferential direction U of the housing and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the device.

[0051] exist Figure 6 In the implementation variant, the operating element 4 is a push-to-flip button element 16' arranged in the form of a rocker switch on the left side 15c of the device. That is, this push-to-flip button element 16' can be operated by the user along direction B from diagonally upward to downward and radially inward from its position. Figure 6 The rocker position shown is manipulated to the second rocker position, and then pressing the - / flip button element from here can be manipulated to its other rocker end face by pressing accordingly to return to the first position. Figure 6 The switch positions are shown in the diagram.

[0052] exist Figures 7 to 10 In this embodiment, the operating element 4 is a press-to-flip button element 14 arranged on the upper side 13a of the device, the press-to-flip button element being able to surround the... Figure 10 The flip- / rotate axis 18 shown in the figure flips or rotates a preset, preferably relatively small, stroke.

[0053] In a corresponding embodiment of the processing equipment, at least one optical display element of the display area 6 extends circumferentially U along the housing over the housing edge 8 and / or extends in a curved or bent direction. Thus, for example, display elements 71 and 75 in... Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, it extends across the housing edge 8 in a bent direction. The remaining five display elements 72 to 74, 76, and 77 are located in the display area 6 at the upper part 15b of the device. Figure 6 In this embodiment, display elements 78 and 79 extend across the housing edge 8 in a bent direction, while the remaining three display elements 7 10 7 11 7 12 It extends only at the top 15b of the device, specifically within the second display surface 6b. Figures 7 to 10 In this embodiment, all three display elements 7 13 7 14 7 15Accordingly, the direction of bending or folding about 90° across the edge 8 of the housing in the circumferential direction U extends not only in the first display surface 6a at the upper side 13a of the device but also in the second display surface 6b at the right side 13b of the device.

[0054] This Übereck-Verlauf arrangement of the display elements can be configured to operate two display elements synchronously, one of which is located in the first display surface 6a and the other in the second display surface 6b.

[0055] In a corresponding embodiment, the display area 6 includes at least two optical display elements arranged side-by-side in the circumferential direction U of the housing and / or at least two optical display elements arranged side-by-side in the longitudinal direction L of the device. Therefore, in Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, display elements 75, 76, and 77 are arranged successively on the circumferential direction U of the housing, as are corresponding elements 71 and 72, 73, and 74. Furthermore, in this embodiment, display elements 71 and 75 are arranged side-by-side on the longitudinal direction L of the device, as are display elements 72 to 74 and display element 76 or 77. Figure 6 In particular, display elements 79, 7 11 and 7 12 The elements 7 are arranged side-by-side on the circumferential U-shaped surface of the housing. 10 78 and display element 7 11 and 7 12 Each of them is arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction L of the equipment. Figures 7 to 10 In this embodiment, three display elements 7 13 Up to 7 15 The equipment is arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction L.

[0056] In a corresponding embodiment, the operating element 4 is configured to switch between multiple selectable equipment operating states. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the operating element 4 can be implemented as a device activation switch, which can be used to temporarily activate the equipment from a completely off operating state. During this period, the equipment can be put into active operation via one or more other operating elements, for example by activating a drive motor that puts the saw chain 19 of the motorized saws 13, 15 into rotation.

[0057] At least one optical display element in display area 6 has a display state corresponding to these optional device operating states. Therefore, Figure 6 A display element 78 is shown in an active display illumination state. In this embodiment, the mentioned temporary active state is displayed using the active display illumination state. Similarly, this device state... Figures 1 to 5In some implementations, this can be achieved, for example, by the light emission of the display element 71 and in Figures 7 to 10 The implementation scheme uses display element 7 13 The light emitted is used to display the information, which means that the display information appears not only on the first display surface 6a but also on the second display surface 6b.

[0058] In a corresponding embodiment, as in the example shown, the device housing 1 includes a main housing component 1a and a grip housing component 1b connected to the main housing component 1a, and the display area 6 and the operating element 4 are held at a retainer 11, which is fixed to the main housing component 1a and / or the grip housing component 1b and holds a second operating element 12 that can be operated by a finger or hand at the retainer.

[0059] In the illustrated embodiment, the second operating element 12 serves as a throttle lever or power regulator for the drive motor of the saw chain 19, as is known per se in motor saws of this type. Furthermore, in these motor saws 13, 15, there is a hand-operable third operating element 20 in the same manner known per se, implemented as a so-called locking lever, wherein, in the illustrated example, this third operating element 20 is preferably also held oscillatingly at the retainer 11.

[0060] As shown in the illustrations and other embodiments described above, the present invention provides a handheld processing device in which a finger-operable operating element and a display area are arranged in a highly advantageous manner within the finger reach of a handle to be held by the user's hand. The display area is arranged offset relative to the operating element in the circumferential direction of the housing about the longitudinal axis of the device and extends in the circumferential direction of the housing beyond the edge of the housing and / or extends in a curved or folded direction.

[0061] In this way, one or more pieces of information can be displayed optically in the display area so that they are easily visible to the user in different working positions that are rotated around the longitudinal axis of the device. The processing equipment can be, for example, a motorized saw or other gardening-or forestry processing equipment, or a hand tool machine used in the construction- and DIY fields.
