Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to battery-powered, power tools, and more specifically to torque and speed management systems for such tools.
- Power tools e.g., nutrunners
- threaded fasteners e.g., nuts, bolts, screws, etc.
- Such tools typically have a high-speed, low-torque motor coupled to a speed reduction transmission in order to increase the output torque to the desired tightening torque level.
- the output of this speed reduction transmission may in turn couple to an output head so configured to suit the intended use; e.g. an angle or offset output head may be used to allow access to specific threaded fasteners.
- the speed reduction transmission has a gear ratio sufficient to increase the output torque of the motor to a level equal to or greater than the specified tightening torque level for a particular fastener. This gear reduction transmission will also reduce the output spindle speed by the same ratio.
- the process of securing a threaded fastener typically consists of two distinct phases: a first, relatively free-running, or low torque resistance phase whereby the fastener is rotated through a number of revolutions to engage the fastener threads with the threads of the mating part, and a second, relatively high torque resistance tightening phase whereby the mechanical advantage of its screw threads are used to clamp together the mating parts and preload the fastener.
- the first phase may include roughly 3 to 10 revolutions (or more or less depending on the particular application), whereas the second phase may consist of less than a single revolution.
- a power tool suitable for securing threaded fasteners must be capable of performing both phases of the securing process.
- a manufacturer typically compromises performance in one phase in order to achieve the desired performance in the other phase. That is, a manufacturer may sacrifice speed to increase tightening torque capacity or vice-versa.
- Battery-powered tools are limited by the available energy stored in the battery pack and by the electrical characteristics of the motor. Battery-powered tools are typically intended to be portable, thereby limiting the practical size of the motor and the battery pack. Smaller motors and lighter battery packs will typically result in lower motor torque characteristics. Motors with low output torque characteristics will require a high gear ratio to produce the required output torque resulting in a low output spindle speed. For battery-powered tools intended for production use, an excessively low output spindle speed will negatively affect productivity.
- Battery-powered tools are also limited by the rate at which the battery pack can deliver its stored energy to the motor. This is a function of the voltage and current capacity of the battery pack. Typically, the battery voltage level will drop as more current is delivered to the motor. Battery cell chemistry affects its ability to deliver current to the motor with each particular cell chemistry having its practical limits.
- An aspect of one or more embodiments of the present invention provides a battery-powered tool that automatically arranges its batteries in a series arrangement during an initial phase of its operation to increase voltage and run the motor quickly during a low-resistance/torque phase of the operation cycle.
- the tool automatically switches the batteries into a parallel arrangement that increases the current to the motor and thereby increases the motor's torque/force during the high-resistance/torque phase of the tool's operation cycle.
- such a tool When used in a threaded fastener tightening cycle (e.g., screw, nut, bolt, etc.), such a tool may quickly spin a threaded fastener during the initial low-torque, free-running phase of the tightening cycle, and then apply a higher torque during the final high-torque phase of the tightening cycle.
- a threaded fastener tightening cycle e.g., screw, nut, bolt, etc.
- Such a combination of parallel/series arrangements may reduce the tightening cycle time while still being able to reach a high tightening torque.
- Another aspect of one or more embodiments of the present invention provides a battery-powered fastening tool that can tighten threaded fasteners to a relatively high torque level without sacrificing maximum tool speed or fastening cycle time.
- Another aspect of one or more embodiments of the present invention improves the productivity of the threaded fastener tightening process.

- the nutsetter 1 includes a motor 2 , an output head 5 , a speed reduction gear transmission 3 connecting an output spindle of the motor 2 to the output head 5 , a resistance sensor 4 that measures a resistance of the output head 5 to movement (e.g., rotational motion, linear movement), a controller 6 , a start switch 7 , and a fixed or detachable battery pack or housing 8 capable of including at least two battery cells 9 .
- the housing of the nutsetter 1 defines handles for the operator's hands. The handles provide easy manual access to the start switch 7 .
- the illustrated motor 2 is a DC motor, which may have either brush-based or brushless commutation means. Alternatively, any other type of suitable motor may be used without deviating from the scope of the present invention.
- the transmission 3 has a ratio sufficient to multiply the torque of the motor 2 to a level higher than that required to tighten a fastener to a desirable torque level.
- the transmission 3 has a fixed gear ratio.
- the transmission 3 may have a variable gear ratio, the ratio of which may be operator-selected (e.g., high torque/low speed, low torque/high speed, etc.) or automatically varied (e.g., by the controller 6 based on battery power, target torque, sensed torque, etc.).
- the transmission 3 may be omitted entirely without deviating from the scope of the present invention.
- the resistance sensor 4 comprises a torque sensor 4 that dynamically measures the torque delivered to the output head 5 . It may do so directly if downstream from the transmission 3 , or indirectly (e.g., via a conversion ratio) if upstream from the transmission 3 .
- the illustrated torque sensor 4 comprises a strain gauge mounted to the drive train between the transmission 3 and the output head 5 .
- the torque sensor 4 may comprise any other type of suitable sensor that measures torque at the output head 5 in any suitable manner (e.g., a torque-sensing transducer, a motor current sensor, an angular rotation sensor, etc.) without deviating from the scope of the present invention.
- the illustrated output head 5 is a square drive output spindle for attaching a fastener driving socket.
- the output head 5 may alternatively comprise any other type of suitable output head (e.g., a chuck, a collet, a hex-head, etc.).
- the controller 6 may perform one or more of the following functions: monitoring the state of the start switch 7 , controlling the operation of the motor 2 (e.g., selectively providing electric power to the motor 2 to start and stop the motor 2 , electronically commutating a brushless DC motor), continuously monitoring the torque sensor 4 during a tightening cycle, selectively switching the battery cells 9 between parallel and series arrangements, and stopping the motor 2 when either a pre-selected torque target is reached or when the start switch 7 is released. It should be understood that the controller 6 may also perform many other monitoring and control functions in addition to those described.

- the controller 6 may additionally or alternatively incorporate one or more mechanical components to accomplish its functions. Any type of suitable controller may be used without deviating from the scope of the present invention.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B show two example methods of enabling the controller 6 to switch the battery cells 9 between parallel and series arrangements.
- FIG. 3A illustrates the use of a double pole, double throw switch 20 .
- the state of this switch 20 may be electronically or mechanically controlled by the controller 6 using any suitable method. As shown in FIG. 3A , the switch 20 is normally in the series position. Changing the switch 20 to its alternate state places the battery cells 9 into a parallel arrangement.
- the switch 20 may be a three-position switch that includes an OFF position in which the battery cells 9 are disconnected from the motor 2 and each other. Alternatively, an additional switch (not shown) may be used to disconnect the motor 2 from the battery cells 9 .
- FIG. 3B illustrates an alternative use of three solid state switches S 1 , S 2 , S 3 that enable the series/parallel switching function.
- the controller 6 controls the state of each of these solid state switches S 1 , S 2 , S 3 as follows; when switch S 2 is on and switches S 1 and S 3 are off, the battery cells 9 connect in series to each other and the motor 2 ; alternately, when switches S 1 and S 3 are on, and switch S 2 is off, the battery cells 9 connect in a parallel to each other and the motor 2 .
- the switches S 1 , S 2 , S 3 may be all placed in their off states to turn the motor 2 off. While it is not described in detail herein, similar switching schemes can be enabled for cases where more than two battery cells are used.
- the illustrated start switch 7 comprises an operator-actuated momentary switch having ON and OFF positions, with the start switch 7 being biased toward its OFF position.
- the start switch 7 could alternatively take on a variety of other forms.
- the start switch 7 could be integrated into the output head 5 such that the start switch is actuated by the engagement of the output head 5 with a fastener.
- each battery cell 9 comprises a single cell.
- each battery cell 9 may comprise a plurality of battery cells that connect to each other in either a series or a parallel relationship.
- the illustrated battery pack 8 includes just two battery cells 9 , additional battery cells 9 may also be used without deviating from the scope of the present invention.
- the parallel/series switching system can be adapted to switch three or more battery cells 9 between parallel and series arrangements.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a logical flow of operation of the controller 6 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the controller 6 monitors the condition (ON/OFF) of the start switch 7 and begins the tightening cycle when the operator turns the start switch 70 N.
- the controller 6 then places the battery cells 9 in series and connects the series battery cells 9 to the motor 2 to start the motor 2 .
- the controller 6 monitors the torque signal from the torque sensor 4 and when the instantaneous torque level exceeds a predetermined shift torque level, the controller 6 switches the battery cells 9 to a parallel arrangement.
- the tightening cycle continues while the controller 6 continues to monitor the torque signal from the torque sensor 4 .
- the controller 6 stops the motor 2 thereby controlling the maximum torque level applied to the fastener.
- the operator then releases the start switch 7 , which ends the tightening cycle.
- the controller 6 stops the motor 2 and aborts the tightening cycle. The entire cycle starts over again when the start switch 7 is again moved into its ON position.
- the controller 6 keeps the battery cells 9 in the parallel arrangement until the operator releases the start switch 7 , even if the instantaneous torque level drops below the predetermined shift torque.
- the controller 6 continuously monitors the sensed torque while the start switch 7 is in its ON position, and shifts the battery cell 9 arrangement between the series and parallel arrangement based on whether the instantaneous sensed torque exceeds the predetermined shift torque. Consequently, any time the sensed torque is at or below the predetermined shift torque while the start switch 7 is in its ON position, the series battery cell 9 arrangement is used, and anytime the sensed torque exceeds the predetermined shift torque while the start switch 7 is in its ON position, the parallel battery cell 9 arrangement is used.
- Such continuous monitoring may be useful in operational cycles over which the sensed torque oscillates above and below the predetermined shift torque (e.g., during operational cycles of a reciprocating saw; during an operational cycle of a drill that sequentially drills through materials having different strengths; during tightening of a self-tapping screw).
- the controller may additionally disconnect the motor 2 from the battery cells 9 when the predetermined target torque is reached.
- the controller 6 may be designed to gradually shift between the parallel and series arrangements. For example, when switching from the series to the parallel arrangement, the controller 6 may gradually reduce the voltage applied by the series arrangement (e.g. toward or to the maximum voltage of the parallel arrangement) before switching to the parallel arrangement. Conversely, when switching from the parallel arrangement to the series arrangement, the controller 6 may first switch to a reduced voltage series arrangement, and gradually increase the voltage applied by the series-arranged battery cells 9 . The controller 6 may be designed to anticipate reaching the predetermined shift torque and begin modifying the voltage ahead of actually reaching the predetermined shift torque.
- the controller 6 may achieve the gradual voltage shift using any conventional mechanism (e.g., pulse width modulation).
- the controller 6 may achieve the gradual shift over any suitable time frame (e.g., 1 ⁇ 2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds), and the time frame may be dependent on the torques/speeds involved in the shift.
- the instantaneously sensed torque may rapidly oscillate above and below the predetermined shift torque.
- the controller 6 may be designed to limit the parallel/series shift frequency in a variety of ways (e.g., a minimum time period between shifts (e.g., 1/10 second, 1 ⁇ 2 second, 1 second, etc.), a programmable hysteresis function, basing the shift on an average instantaneous torques over a predetermined preceding timeframe).
- the controller 6 may include a speed control algorithm that causes the motor 2 to accelerate at a certain rate to a preselected maximum speed during the initial phase of the tightening cycle (i.e., before the predetermined shift torque is reached).
- the predetermined shift torque level may be operator-selected, or may be automatically selected by the controller 6 (e.g., as a function of or a fraction of the target torque).
- the shift torque level is typically selected to be somewhat higher than the torque level required to turn the fastener through its first, relatively free-running phase so that this first part of the tightening phase can be completed with the battery cells 9 in a series connection thereby providing high voltage and allowing a higher maximum speed for this phase of the tightening process.
- the parallel arrangement provides more electrical current to the motor 2 , thereby allowing the motor 2 to produce a higher level of torque with less current demand on each of the individual battery cells 9 .
- the predetermined target torque may be operator-selectable (e.g., via an input (e.g., analog selection dial, digital LCD input, etc.) that operatively connects to the controller 6 ).
- an input e.g., analog selection dial, digital LCD input, etc.
- the controller 6 may also control the transmission 3 in conjunction with controlling the battery cell 9 arrangement. At various sensed torque thresholds, the controller 6 may (1) increase the gear ratio of the transmission 3 to increase the output torque at the output head 5 , and/or (2) switch some or all of the battery cells 9 to a parallel arrangement to increase the current and the output torque of the motor 2 .
- the battery pack 8 includes four similar battery cells 9 , which can individually connect to each other in parallel or series arrangements. For example, under a high voltage state, all four battery cells connect to each other in series (yielding 4 times the voltage of a single battery cell 9 ). Under an intermediate state, each battery cell 9 connects to one other battery cell 9 in series, and the two sets of series battery cells 9 connect to each other in parallel (yielding twice the voltage and twice the current of a single battery cell 9 ). Under a high current/parallel state, all four battery cells 9 connect to each other in parallel (yielding four times the current of a single battery cell 9 ). In such an embodiment, the controller 6 may include tiered predetermined shift torques and sequentially arrange more and more of the battery cells 9 in parallel as the sensed torque increases past each shift torque threshold.
- the illustrated embodiment describes a battery-powered tool for tightening threaded fasteners
- one familiar with the art should understand that one or more of the disclosed embodiments may also be used for electrically-powered tools intended for a variety of purposes, such as drilling or sawing.
- the battery-powered tool is a saw with a reciprocating output head
- the torque sensor 4 may be replaced with another type of resistance sensor, such as a force sensor that senses a force being exerted at the output head (i.e., the output head's resistance to movement).
- the force may still be measured via a torque sensor disposed upstream in the drive train from where the rotational motor's rotational output is converted into a reciprocating output.
- the motor may be a linear motor as opposed to a rotational motor.
- Automatically switching between series and parallel battery arrangements may improve the interaction between the battery cells 9 and the motor 2 to provide high speed or high torque when needed. This switching may more efficiently utilize the available power in each battery cell 9 , thereby increasing the number of operation cycles that a battery pack 8 can perform between recharges. Additionally, the tool 1 may lower the peak current required from each battery cell 9 during the threaded fastener securing process, thereby extending the number of securing cycles before recharge.
