DEVICE FOR AXIAL DISPLACEMENT OF A HOLE SAW FOR A HAND-HELD DRILL
20230051583 · 2023-02-16 · ·

A device is for an axial displacement of a hole saw for a hand-held drill, wherein the hole saw is coupled to the drill by a drive shaft, and the hole saw and an actuator are rotatably connected and positioned in a housing with a coupling for the drill. The actuator has an outer threaded portion which corresponds to an inner threaded portion in the housing so that the actuator and the hole saw are displaced axially along the drive shaft when the actuator rotates relative to the housing. The actuator is connected to the drive shaft via a slip clutch arranged to transfer and reduce a reduced torque from the drive shaft to the actuator.

A smart power tool includes: an output shaft, an electric motor, a housing, and an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly is used for adjusting a working mode and outputting a mode signal. The working mode includes a drill gear mode and a wood screw mode. In the drill gear mode, a working state of the smart power tool is determined according to a set of current variables and/or a set of feature quantities and a type of a drill bit and, when the smart power tool is in a drill-through state, the electric motor is controlled to stop rotating.

Electric driver drill

The drill includes a motor, a spindle rotatable with a rotational force transmitted from the motor, a clutch assembly that disables transmission of the rotational force to the spindle in response to a rotational load on the spindle reaching a release value and including an elastic member that adjusts the release value, and a change ring switchable from a clutch mode in which the clutch assembly is operable to a nonclutch mode in which the clutch assembly is inoperable in response to the change ring operated in a forward rotation direction. In the clutch mode, the elastic member elastically deforms to reduce the release value in response to the change ring operated in the forward rotation direction, and to increase the release value in response to the change ring operated in a backward rotation direction.

Railroad Track Rail Drill

A rail drill drive train can include a common drive end between a single drive motor and a common gear. A speed train end can extend from the common gear to rotate the drill spindle. A feed train end can independently extend from the common gear to advance and retract the drill spindle. The speed train end can include a sprag gear so that, without unmeshing any gears, the drill spindle is not unnecessarily rotated in the reverse direction when the drive motor is reversed to retract the drill spindle. A rail drill control circuit and related sensors can enable automatic operation throughout the complete drilling cycle without any manual input from the user other than starting the cycle. Such a fully automatic drilling cycle can minimize overall cycle time to preserve battery life and can free the user to perform other tasks between drill moving and clamping operations.

Power tool communication system

A power tool communication system including an external device including a first controller configured to transmit, via wireless communication to a power tool, configuration data including a work light duration parameter value and a work light brightness parameter value. The power tool includes a housing, a brushless direct current (DC) motor, a trigger, a work light, a wireless communication circuit configured to wirelessly communicate with the external device to receive the configuration data, and a second controller configured to control a work light duration of the work light based on the work light duration parameter value, and control a work light brightness of the work light based on the work light brightness parameter value.

A tool with a transmission having a reduction gearset and a speed selector. The speed selector has a member, an actuator and a shifter assembly. The member is movable between a first position, in which the member is non-rotatable, and a second position in which the member is coupled to a planet carrier of the reduction gearset for common rotation. The actuator includes a pivoting yoke and a follower that is coupled to the yoke. The follower engages the member so as to be axially movable with the follower. The shifter assembly has a selector switch, a switch fork, and a pair of springs. The selector switch is slidable between a first switch position and a second switch position. The shift fork is slidably coupled to the selector switch and receives the yoke. The springs cooperate to bias the shift fork relative to the selector switch into a neutral position.
