POWER TOOL AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
A power tool includes a housing, an electric motor, a driver circuit, a speed detection device, and a control device. The driver circuit is electrically connected to the electric motor to drive the electric motor to operate. The speed detection device is configured to acquire a rotational speed of the electric motor. The control device is connected to the speed detection device and the driver circuit and outputs a control signal to the driver circuit to control rotation of the electric motor. The control device is configured to acquire the rotational speed of the electric motor when the electric motor is in a start-up stage, obtain a rotational speed variation of the electric motor within a preset time based on the rotational speed of the electric motor, and turn off the electric motor when the rotational speed variation is less than a rotational speed variation threshold.
Abnormality diagnosis system for rotary electric machine
The present invention provides an abnormality diagnosis system capable of identifying an abnormality occurrence site in a rotary electric machine by use of output of sensors mounted to a bearing of the rotary electric machine. The abnormality diagnosis system includes: a rotary electric machine that has a main shaft secured to a center of a rotor and supported by a bearing; a vibration sensor that measures a vibration value of the bearing; a speed sensor that measures a rotational speed value of the main shaft; and an abnormality diagnosis apparatus that diagnoses abnormality in the rotary electric machine based on the vibration value and the rotational speed value. The abnormality diagnosis apparatus includes: a database that records the vibration value, the rotational speed value, and measurement times of the vibration value and the rotational speed value, as a data group of one unit, the vibration value and the rotational speed value measured within a predetermined time period; and an abnormality determination section that makes determination of abnormality, if a first threshold is exceeded by a difference in maximum vibration value in one speed range of interest between a past data group and a newer data group of a plurality of data groups recorded in the database, and makes no determination of abnormality, even if the first threshold is exceeded by a difference in maximum vibration value outside the speed range of interest.

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CURTAIN POSITION
A method for controlling curtain position of a curtain assembly includes a motor and a control unit. The motor includes a detection unit for detecting the working current of the motor. When the curtain moves upward and stops, the detection unit detects the working current increases. The detection unit sends a signal to a processor of the control unit to judge that the curtain reaches the upper-most position. Then the control unit stops the motor and demands the motor to operate reversely a range to lower the curtain slightly. The curtain that is lowered by operating the motor reversely is defined as at a limited position. When the curtain is lowered by the motor, the lower-most position of the curtain is defined by a pre-set number of revolutions of the motor. The pre-set number of revolutions of the motor is set by the control unit.
