Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisch betriebenes Arbeitsgerät, insbesondere ein Elektrowerkzeug wie eine Bohrmaschine, einen Schrauber oder dgl. nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electrically operated implement, especially a power tool like a drill, a screwdriver or the like. According to the preamble of the claim 1.

Derartige Arbeitsgeräte, auch als Akkuschrauber bekannt, weisen einen elektrischen Antriebsmotor zum Antrieb eines Werkzeughalters auf, in den das gewünschte Arbeitswerkzeug eingesteckt wird. Der Antriebsmotor ist über einen Schalter mit einem wiederaufladbaren Energiespeicher verbindbar, der an dem Arbeitsgerät auswechselbar gehalten ist. Der Energiespeicher - meist ein Akkupack - wird regelmäßig vom Arbeitsgerät getrennt in einer Ladestation aufgeladen, wozu meist Zeiträume von 10 bis 12 Stunden notwendig sind. Schnelladefähige Energiespeicher haben verkürzte Ladezeiten von 15 Minuten bis 1 Stunde.Such tools, also known as cordless screwdrivers, have an electric drive motor for driving a Tool holder in which the desired work tool is inserted. The drive motor is via a switch connectable to a rechargeable energy storage device, the the implement is held interchangeably. The energy storage - usually a battery pack - is used regularly by the working device charged separately in a charging station, which is usually the case Periods of 10 to 12 hours are necessary. Fast charging capability Energy stores have reduced charging times of 15 Minutes to 1 hour.

Übliche Akkupacks, insbesondere NiCd-Zellen haben eine permanente Selbstentladung, so daß die Kapazität mit zunehmender Lagerzeit sinkt. Dies hat im Hobbybereich meist zur Folge, daß immer dann, wenn das Werkzeug benutzt werden soll, der Benutzer feststellen muß, daß der Energiespeicher entladen ist und für die auszuführende Arbeit zunächst geladen werden muß. Dadurch ist ein Einsatz des Elektrowerkzeugs meist nicht vor Ablauf einer Zeitspanne von 15 Minuten bis 1 Stunde möglich.Usual battery packs, especially NiCd cells, have a permanent one Self-discharge, so that the capacity with increasing Storage time decreases. In the hobby area, this usually has the consequence that whenever the tool is to be used, the user must determine that the energy storage is discharged and must first be loaded for the work to be performed. As a result, there is usually no need to use the power tool A period of 15 minutes to 1 hour is possible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein elektrisch betriebenes Arbeitsgerät derart auszubilden, daß auch bei leerem Energiespeicher innerhalb kürzester Zeit der Einsatz des Arbeitswerkzeuges möglich ist.The invention has for its object an electrically operated Train the implement in such a way that even when empty Energy storage within the shortest possible time using the Working tool is possible.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß nach den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The task is inventively according to the characteristic Features of claim 1 solved.

Der Kerngedanke der Erfindung liegt darin, hochleistungsfähige Kondensatoren als rasch aufladbaren Energiespeicher, z.B. als Akkupack zu nutzen. Da Kondensatoren in kurzer Zeit mit hohen Ladeströmen aufladbar sind und bereits nach Sekunden eine erhebliche Energiemenge gespeichert haben, kann mit dem Arbeitsgerät kurzfristig die Arbeit aufgenommen werden. Die Leistungsfähigkeit der Kondensatoren ist ausreichend, um mehrere Schraubvorgänge auszuführen. So können zum Beispiel ohne weiteres etwa fünf bis zehn Schraubvorgänge mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Energiespeicher aus Kondensatoren ordnungsgemäß ausgeführt werden, bevor ein Nachladen nötig ist. Da dieses Nachladen im Sekundenbereich liegt, ist im Hobbybereich die Unterbrechung der Arbeit für ein eventuelles Nachladen ohne weiteres akzeptabel.The main idea of the invention is to provide high performance Capacitors as quickly rechargeable energy storage, e.g. as To use the battery pack. Because capacitors with high in a short time Charging currents can be charged and are considerable after just a few seconds Have stored amount of energy with the working device work is started at short notice. The Capacitor performance is sufficient to perform several screwing operations. For example about five to ten screwing operations with the Energy storage from capacitors according to the invention properly be carried out before reloading is necessary. There this reloading is in the seconds range, is in the hobby area the interruption of work for a possible reloading readily acceptable.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Energiespeicher aus Kondensatoren ist dem Hobbyhandwerker die Möglichkeit gegeben, auch nach langer Ruhephase des Elektrowerkzeuges und der damit einhergehenden Entladung der Zellen eines Akkupacks kurzfristig eine Arbeit aufzunehmen, ohne daß er lange Ladephasen des Akkupacks hinnehmen muß.With the energy storage device according to the invention made of capacitors the hobby craftsman is given the opportunity, even after long rest phase of the power tool and the associated Short-term discharge of the cells of a battery pack Take up work without long charging phases of the battery pack must accept.

Werden die Kondensatoren zueinander parallel geschaltet, sind hohe Spitzenströme möglich, wobei gleichzeitig Dauerströme von 20 bis 30 A zu erzielen sind. Durch eine Reihenschaltung von parallel geschalteten Kondensatoren mit einer Nennspannung von 2,3 bis 2,5 V kann die Ausgangsspannung z.B. auf 12 V oder 24 V erhöht werden.If the capacitors are connected in parallel to each other, high peak currents possible, while continuous currents of 20 to 30 A can be achieved. Through a series connection of capacitors connected in parallel with a nominal voltage of The output voltage can be 2.3 to 2.5 V e.g. to 12 V or 24 V can be increased.

Vorteilhaft ist der Energiespeicher aus Kondensatoren alternativ gegen einen Energiespeicher aus wiederaufladbaren Zellen wie NiCd-Akkus, Li-Akkus, NiMH-Akkus einsetzbar. Hierzu hat zweckmäßig der Energiespeicher aus wiederaufladbaren Zellen und der Energiespeicher aus Kondensatoren die gleiche Geometrie eines Anschlusses, so z.B. eines kontaktierenden Einsteckschuhs.Alternatively, the energy storage from capacitors is advantageous against an energy store made of rechargeable cells such as NiCd batteries, Li batteries, NiMH batteries can be used. To do this expediently the energy store from rechargeable cells and the energy storage from capacitors has the same geometry a connection, e.g. a contacting insert shoe.

Es kann in Weiterbildung der Erfindung auch zweckmäßig sein, Hochleistungskondensatoren neben üblichen Akkuzellen in einem Gehäuse anzuordnen und elektrisch derart zu verschalten, daß zunächst die Kondensatoren und dann die Akkuzellen genutzt werden. In einer Betriebspause können die Kondensatoren auch über die Akkuzellen geladen werden.In a further development of the invention, it can also be expedient High-performance capacitors in addition to conventional battery cells in one Arrange housing and electrically connect such that first the capacitors and then the battery cells become. The capacitors can also be used during a break are charged via the battery cells.

Vorteilhaft sind der Energiespeicher aus wiederaufladbaren Zellen und der Energiespeicher aus Kondensatoren wechselweise in einem gleichen Aufladegerät zu laden. Es können auch zwei Ladeschächte vorgesehen sein, so daß während dem Aufladen und Laden des Energiespeichers aus Kondensatoren permanent der Energiespeicher aus wiederaufladbaren Zellen geladen wird. Auf diese Weise kann auch der Ladezeitraum des üblicherweise eingesetzten Energiespeichers aus wiederaufladbaren Zellen mit dem Energiespeicher aus Kondensatoren überbrückt werden.The energy storage devices made of rechargeable batteries are advantageous Cells and the energy storage from capacitors alternately to charge in a same charger. It can also be two Charging slots are provided so that during charging and Charging the energy storage from capacitors permanently Energy storage is charged from rechargeable cells. On this way, the charging period of the usually used Energy storage from rechargeable cells with the energy storage from capacitors are bridged.

Um eine hohe Leistungsdichte zu erzielen, werden die Kondensatoren mit bis zu 30%, vorzugsweise mit 20% über ihre Nennspannung aufgeladen. Die gespeicherte Ladungsmenge wird so erhöht.In order to achieve a high power density, the capacitors with up to 30%, preferably with 20% above their nominal voltage charged. The stored amount of charge is increased.

Die Zellen 11 können dabei stehend im Gehäuse des Energiespeichers 6 angeordnet werden, wobei ihre Längsachse 12 dann etwa zur Längsachse des Griffes 3 ausgerichtet liegt. Zweckmäßig kann auch eine liegende Anordnung der Kondensatoren sein.In Fig. 1 there are a large number in the housing of the energy store 6 of rechargeable cells 11 arranged as dashed lines shown.
