Method for Operating a Hand-Held Power Tool - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18256615 titled 'Method for Operating a Hand-Held Power Tool

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for operating a hand-held power tool that includes an electric motor. The method involves performing a screw connection of a connecting device in a support, monitoring and evaluating at least one signal of an operating variable of the electric motor during the screwing process, and determining whether the screw connection has been properly carried out based on the evaluation of the received signal.

  • The method involves screwing a connecting device in a support using a hand-held power tool with an electric motor.
  • During the screwing process, at least one signal of an operating variable of the electric motor is monitored.
  • The received signal is evaluated to determine if the screw connection has been properly carried out.
  • The decision regarding the screw connection is at least partially based on the evaluation of the received signal.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be applied in various industries where screw connections are important, such as construction, manufacturing, and automotive.
  • It can be used in assembly lines or production processes that involve the use of hand-held power tools for screwing operations.
  • The method can improve the efficiency and accuracy of screw connections, ensuring proper assembly and reducing the risk of faulty connections.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method addresses the challenge of ensuring the proper execution of screw connections in various applications.
  • It helps prevent loose or insufficiently tightened screw connections, which can lead to product failures, safety hazards, or additional maintenance and repair costs.
  • By monitoring and evaluating the operating variable signals, the method provides a reliable way to determine the quality of the screw connection.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method improves the reliability and quality of screw connections, reducing the likelihood of failures or malfunctions.
  • It enhances the efficiency of screwing operations by providing real-time monitoring and evaluation of the operating variable signals.
  • The method can save time and costs by preventing the need for rework or repairs due to faulty screw connections.
  • It contributes to overall product quality and safety by ensuring proper assembly and reducing the risk of product failures caused by inadequate screw connections.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for operating a hand-held power tool is disclosed, wherein the hand-held power tool includes an electric motor. The method includes carrying out a screw connection of a connecting device in a support, providing at least one signal of an operating variable of the electric motor during the screwing, evaluating the received signal of the operating variable of the electric motor, and deciding whether the screw connection has been properly carried out, the decision being at least partially based on the evaluation of the received signal of the operating variable of the electric motor. A hand-held power tool is also disclosed.
