  • Patent number: 12226883
    Abstract: A method is provided for an electrically-driven tool to detect battery decline. The electrically-driven tool includes a battery, a controller and a kinetic device. The controller pre-stores a dataset of energy provision time including a data piece of energy provision time that signifies a predetermined time length presumed to be required by the battery to provide a predetermined amount of electric energy. The controller induces provision of the predetermined amount of electric energy to the kinetic device to have the kinetic device perform a predetermined stroke with a predetermined load, times a stroke time period taken by the predetermined stroke, and determines whether the stroke time period is greater than the predetermined time length. The controller outputs a battery abnormality signal when the stroke time period is greater than the predetermined time length.

  • Patent number: 12220798
    Abstract: An electric power tool includes a motor, a lifter, a firing pin, an electromagnet, a driving circuit, a latch, and a controller. The lifter is driven by the motor to drive the firing pin to perform a firing action. The driving circuit provides electric current to excite the electromagnet. The latch is moved by the electromagnet from a blocking position where the latch blocks the firing pin to move in a firing direction to a non-blocking position where the latch does not block the firing pin when the electromagnet is in an excited state. The controller, during an excitement period, controls the driving circuit to provide constant current for a first time period to excite the electromagnet to the excited state, and provide pulsating current for a second time period to keep the electromagnet in the excited state.
