  • Device for identifying operating data of a motor-driven tool and system
    Patent number: 12639986
    Abstract: A device identifies operating data of a motor-driven tool. The device includes an identifying and/or evaluating device, an operating data memory unit, a communication interface, a housing, and an elastic element. The housing accommodates an electrical energy storage device and has an open and closed condition. In the open condition, the electrical energy storage device is insertable or removable. In the closed condition, the elastic element is configured to fix the electrical energy storage device by applying pressure along the insertion and removal direction of the energy storage device. The force amounts to a value of the mass of the storage device multiplied by at minimum 1 N per g.

  • Device for Recording Operating Data of a Motorized Tool, System and Method for Operating a Device
    Publication number: 20210157505
    Abstract: A device records operating data of a motorized tool. The device is arranged on the tool, wherein the device has: a recording and/or evaluation device, wherein the recording and/or evaluation device is designed to record at least one variable, wherein the variable is dependent on an operating state of the tool, and to evaluate the recorded variable in order to identify the operating data, and/or to record the operating data. An operating data memory is provided, wherein the operating data memory is designed to store the identified and/or recorded operating data. A communication interface is designed, in a state connected to an external appliance, to wirelessly transmit the stored operating data thereto.
