  • Patent number: 11911639
    Abstract: A mobile portable tool, such as a spreading device, cutting device or combined device with cutting and spreading function includes a housing. An electric motor is located in the housing. The tool includes a rechargeable battery or a connection to an external electrical energy source. The tool is a mechanically or hydraulically driven and has a displaceable piston rod spreading and/or cutting and/or lifting and/or pressing work. An electronic open-loop and closed-loop control unit controls the electric motor and includes a printed circuit board and control cables with a connector for transporting control signals. For under water operation while still having a simple design, the electric motor is a brushless direct-current motor. The electronic components of the printed circuit board are enclosed by a potting compound to prevent water entering, and the connector of the control cable is protected against the ingress of water.

  • Patent number: 11794041
    Abstract: A method for operating an electromechanical or electrohydraulic working device or rescue device is performed by an operator person and can be used autonomously. The working/rescue device includes a cutting tool having two cutting tool halves movable toward and away from one another and define a virtual cutting plane by their movement. The working/rescues device includes a housing, an electric motor; a pump or mechanical transmission, each driven by the electric motor for actuating the tool insert. An exchangeable rechargeable electrical energy source is in/on a device side of the working/rescue device and includes a housing. During operation of the working/rescue device, orientation of the working/rescue device is sensed and the relationship between the angular position of the working/rescue device cutting plane and the force applied by the cutting tool to the object to be cut is established and the working/rescue device is controlled in dependence on the relationship.

  • Publication number: 20220339773
    Abstract: A portable tool for mobile use includes a housing, an electric motor located in the housing, an insert shaft on the tool, and a battery. The battery or a terminal for connecting to an external energy source is located in the insert shaft. A mechanically or hydraulically driven movable piston rod is for performing spreading, cutting, lifting, and/or pressing. An electronic device controls and/or regulates the electric motor and includes a printed circuit board with a potting compound on which electronic components are arranged. An electrically conductive on the insert shaft allows a releasable electric contact between the battery and the electronic device of the tool by inserting the battery into the insert shaft. The contact is divided into a first and second surface regions. The first surface region is covered with a nonconductive protective layer, and the second surface region is free of the protective layer.

  • Publication number: 20210252316
    Abstract: A portable tool, such as a spreader tool, cutting tool or combination spreading/cutting tool is for mobile use. The tool has an electric motor, a rechargeable battery received on the tool, a mechanically or hydraulically driven, displaceable piston rod for performing spreading and/or cutting and/or lifting or pressing. An electronic control and regulation unit controls/regulates the electric motor, such as a brushless DC motor. The electronic control and regulation unit specifies a first operating mode in which the electric motor is operated at a first frequency, and a second operating mode in which the electric motor is operated at a second frequency. The operating mode is switchable by an operator of the tool using a manually operable switch between the first and the second operating modes. The rotational speed of a three-phase current electric motor is higher at the second frequency than at the first frequency.

  • Publication number: 20150071791
    Abstract: A hydraulic pump arrangement for a portable hydraulic tool operates energy-independently or dependent on a power network. The hydraulic pump arrangement detachably connects via hose to the hydraulic tool, is driven by an electrical energy source and is controlled in a load-dependent manner by changing between a load state and a non-load state. The load state has a first, higher electrical energy supply and the non-load state has a second, lower electrical supply. To increase usage flexibility, usage safety and ease of use, a battery is mounted on the hydraulic pump arrangement to be manually detachable in a receptacle accessible from the outside. A power adapter (25) connects an electrical cable to a generator (29). The battery (24) and the power adapter (25) have a geometry matching the receptacle (26), so the hydraulic pump arrangement can be supplied with power via the battery (24) or the power adapter (25).

  • Publication number: 20150017021
    Abstract: A hydraulic pump arrangement of a portable hydraulic tool operates by an autonomous power supply or is releasably connected to the hydraulic tool by a hose and driven by an electrical power source. A load-dependent control of the hydraulic pump switches between a loaded state and a non-loaded state. A higher electrical power supply is implemented for the loaded state and a lower electrical power supply is implemented for the non-loaded state. To provide energy savings and problem-free operation even in different system pressure conditions, a method fixes a control variable for the load-dependent control that is dependent on work being performed by the hydraulic pump motor. A first threshold value at which switching from the non-loaded state to the loaded state takes place and a second threshold value at which switching from the loaded state to the non-loaded state takes place are assigned to the control variable.
