ELECTRIC TOOL SYSTEM, ELECTRIC TOOL DEVICE, AND CAMERA DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18262853 titled 'ELECTRIC TOOL SYSTEM, ELECTRIC TOOL DEVICE, AND CAMERA DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The electric tool system described in the patent application includes an electric tool device and a camera device. The electric tool device is equipped with a drive unit for tightening components to a work target and an electric tool communication unit for external communication. The camera device consists of a fixing unit that attaches to the electric tool device, an image capturing unit that captures images of the work target, and a camera communication unit for external communication.
- Drive unit for tightening components
- Electric tool communication unit for external communication
- Fixing unit on camera device for attachment to electric tool device
- Image capturing unit for capturing images of work target
- Camera communication unit for external communication
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in industries where precise tightening of components is required, such as manufacturing, construction, and automotive.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of ensuring accurate and efficient tightening of components by providing a visual aid through the camera device.
Benefits
The system improves the accuracy and speed of tightening operations, reduces the risk of errors, and allows for remote monitoring and control.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include selling the electric tool system to industries that require precise tightening operations, as well as offering maintenance and support services for the technology.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of separate cameras for monitoring and communication in industrial settings, but the integration of a camera device with an electric tool device for tightening operations is a novel approach.
Unanswered Questions
How does the camera device communicate with the outside?
The camera communication unit is responsible for external communication, but the specific method or technology used for this communication is not detailed in the abstract.
What types of components can be tightened using the electric tool device?
The abstract mentions tightening components to a work target, but it does not specify the range or types of components that can be tightened using this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electric tool system includes an electric tool device and a camera device. The electric tool device has a drive unit and an electric tool communication unit. The drive unit performs tightening work of tightening a tightening component to a work target. The electric tool communication unit performs communication with outside. The camera device has a fixing unit, an image capturing unit, and a camera communication unit. The fixing unit is removably attached to the electric tool device. The image capturing unit captures an image of at least the work target. The camera communication unit performs communication with the outside.
