Publication number: 20230381934Abstract: A method for operating a hand-held power tool is disclosed, with the hand-held power tool including an electric motor. The method includes step (S1) providing comparative information, having the steps of (S1a) providing at least one model signal waveform, said model signal waveform being assignable to the work progress of the hand-held power tool, and (S1b) providing a threshold of a match. The method further includes step (S2) ascertaining a signal of an operational variable of the electric motor. The method also includes step (S3) analyzing the comparative information and the signal of an operational variable, having the steps of (S3a) comparing the signal of the operational variable with the model signal waveform and ascertaining a match signal from the comparison, and (S3b) ascertaining a match evaluation, said match evaluation being carried out at least partly using the threshold of the match and using the match signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Simon Erbele, Stefan Mock, Wolfgang Herberger, Jasmin Giessler

Publication number: 20220176527Abstract: Method for detecting a first operating state of a handheld power tool, wherein the handheld power tool has an electric motor. In this case, the method comprises the steps of: (S1) determining a signal of an operating variable of the electric motor; (S2) comparing the signal of the operating variable with at least one model signal waveform typical of the state, wherein the model signal waveform typical of the state is assigned to the first operating state; (S3) deciding whether the first operating state is present, wherein the decision at least partially depends on whether the model signal waveform typical of the state is identified in the signal of the operating variable in step S2. Additionally disclosed is a handheld power tool, particularly an impact driver, with an electric motor and a control unit, wherein the control unit is designed to execute a method according to the disclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Juergen Winterhalter, Simon Erbele, Tobias Zibold, Stefan Mock, Wolfgang Herberger, Dietmar Saur

Patent number: 10478959Abstract: A hand-held power tool which includes a gear housing with a gear for transmitting a torque, generated by a drive motor, to a spindle. The gear housing is exchangeably connectable to a tool attachment via an interface in such a way that a torque is transmitted from the spindle to an input spindle of the tool attachment. The interface includes a housing-side interface element with a flange ring, which is connected to the gear housing in a torsionally stiff manner. The housing-side interface element corresponds to a tool attachment-side interface element which includes a fastening ring that is rotatably supported on the tool attachment. The fastening ring is brought into engagement with the flange ring by a coupled rotatory and axial relative movement of the fastening ring with respect to the flange ring so that the fastening ring and the flange ring together form a bayonet-type connector.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2016Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Jens Brennenstuhl, Michael Hoffmann-Sugland, Stefan Mock

Patent number: 10333441Abstract: A method for regulating a speed of an electric motor of a power tool, the speed of the electric motor being established as a function of an actuation of a control device, the control device being actuated in such a way that a speed is requested which is less than a maximum speed, the speed being set in such a way that, in a first speed range upon an increase of the torque output by the electric motor, the speed decreases with a first negative slope, the speed being set in a second speed range in such a way that the speed proceeds with a second slope upon an increase of the output torque, the second slope being greater than the first slope when considered mathematically.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Joerg Koniakowsky, Stefan Mock
