参考图8,图8为图7示出的电动工具300中供电管理装置20的电路框图。在一个实施例中,供电管理装置20可以包括电源(未示出)、第一晶体管组21、第一电源芯片22、第二晶体管组23、第三晶体管组24以及第二电源芯片25。其中,第一晶体管组21与操作装置40、电源、第一电源芯片22连接,第一电源芯片22还与第二晶体管组23、第二电源芯片25连接,第二晶体管组23还与第一控制器50、第三晶体管组24连接,第三晶体管组24还与操作装置40、驱动装置30连接。

当用户启用任意一个或多个辅助功能而未启用主要功能,第一晶体管组21从操作装置40处得到辅助功能信号后导通其与第一电源芯片22间的通路,第一电源芯片22继而导通其与第二电源芯片25以及与第二晶体管组23间的通路,第二电源芯片25继而向第二控制器70输出第二使能信号,第二晶体管组23继而向第一控制器50以及第三晶体管组24输出第一使能信号,而第三晶体管24未得到主要功能信号,无法向驱动装置30输出第三使能信号。
上述实施例中,第一电源芯片不再直接向第一控制器供电,而是由第一电源芯片引出第二晶体管组与第二电源芯片分别向第一、二控制器供电,从而使得第一、二控制器的供电流程能够彼此独立,第一控制器供电的中断不会干扰到第二控制器。
图7至图8描述的实施方式中,采用两个控制器分别负责电动工具的主要功能与辅助功能,响应于不同的功能信号,第一控制器与第二控制器能够彼此独立地控制电机与各个辅助装置实现对应的功能,二者互不干扰,进而保障了电动工具能够按照用户实际意图正常地工作。
参考图9,图9为图1示出的电动工具的又一电控原理图。电动工具400可以包括电机10、供电管理装置20、驱动装置30、驱动装置40、第一控制器50以及辅助装置60和第二控制器70。
考虑到电动工具主要功能的启停均依赖用户的操作,而辅助功能则是由用 户开启,默认时长后自行关闭,为了使得各功能的启停均能顺利实现,在前文描述的电动工具300的基础上,操作装置40还可以在用户关闭电动工具400的任意一个或多个功能后,中断向供电管理装置20以及第二控制器70输出对应于用户所关闭功能的功能信号。
而第二控制器70失去来自操作装置40的功能信号,可以被设置为在失去主要功能信号后,向供电管理装置20输出第一维持信号并在第三预设时长T3后中断第一维持信号的传输;以及在失去所有功能信号后,向供电管理装置20输出第二维持信号和第三维持信号,并在第四预设时长T4后中断第二维持信号的传输,在第五预设时长T5后中断第三维持信号的传输。
供电管理装置20失去来自操作装置40的功能信号,接收来自第二控制器70的维持信号,可以被设置为在失去主要功能信号、得到第一维持信号时继续第三使能信号的输出,第三预设时长T3后,在失去主要功能信号且失去第一维持信号后再中断向驱动装置30输出第三使能信号;在失去所有功能信号、得到第二维持信号时继续第一使能信号的输出,第四预设时长T4后,在失去所有功能信号且失去第二维持信号后再中断向第一控制器50输出第一使能信号;以及在失去所有功能信号、得到第三维持信号时继续第二使能信号的输出,第五预设时长T5后,在失去所有功能信号且失去第三维持信号后再中断向第二控制器70输出第二使能信号。
其中,第三预设时长T3小于或等于第四预设时长T4,第四预设时长T4小于或等于第五预设时长T5,例如,第三预设时长T3与第四预设时长T4可以为10s,第五预设时长T5可以为5min。此外,第五预设时长T5大于或等于各个辅助装置实现对应辅助功能的耗时,以使辅助功能得以在设备断电前执行完毕,例如,界面显示装置61实现界面显示功能的第一预设时长T1为5min,电量显示装置62实现电量显示功能的第二预设时长T2为10s,第五预设时长T5可为5min。
下面针对图9示出的电动工具400中的各个装置做更详细的说明。
参考图10,图10为图9示出的电动工具400中供电管理装置20的电路框图。在一个实施例中,供电管理装置20可以包括电源(未示出)、第一晶体管组21、第一电源芯片22、第二晶体管组23、第三晶体管组24以及第二电源芯片25。其中,第一晶体管组21与操作装置40、电源、第一电源芯片22以及第二控制器70连接,第一电源芯片22还与第二晶体管组23、第二电源芯片25连接,第二晶体管组23还与第一控制器50、第三晶体管组24以及第二控制器70连接,第三晶体管组24还与操作装置40、驱动装置30以及第二控制器70连接。
以第三预设时长T3和第四预设时长T4是10s、第五预设时长T5是5min 为例。当用户仅关闭主要功能,第三晶体管组24在失去主要功能信号时得到第一维持信号,可以继续第三使能信号的输出,直至10s后失去第一维持信号,中断向驱动装置30输出第三使能信号,从而使得电机10在用户关闭主要功能10s后停转。
当用户仅关闭辅助功能,第一使能信号、第二使能信号以及第三使能信号的输出不受影响,针对已接收过的辅助功能信号,第二控制器70仍可按照各个辅助功能所要求的对应时长控制实现对应的辅助功能。
当用户关闭所有功能,除了前文描述的第三晶体管组在10s后中断第三使能信号的输出以使电机10停机外,第二晶体管组23在失去所有功能信号时得到第二维持信号,可以继续第一使能信号的输出,直至10s后失去第二维持信号,中断向第一控制器50输出第一使能信号,从而使得第一控制器50在用户关闭所有功能10s后断电。同时,第一晶体管组21在失去所有功能信号时得到第三维持信号,可以继续导通其与第一电源芯片22、第二电源芯片25间的通路,保持第二使能信号的输出,直至5min后失去第三维持信号,断开其与第一电源芯片22、第二电源芯片25间的通路,第二电源芯片25中断向第二控制器70输出第二使能信号,从而使得第二控制器70在用户关闭所有功能5min后断电,在这5min内针对已接收过的各个辅助功能信号,第二控制器70仍可按照各个辅助功能所要求的时长控制实现对应的辅助功能。
图9至图10描述的实施方式中,第二控制器基于用户所关闭的功能按对应的预设时长向供电管理装置输出对应的维持信号,供电管理装置结合功能信号与维持信号确定是否中断使能信号及驱动信号的输出,以保障第一、二控制器能够互不干扰地顺利执行完各项功能,且在功能执行完毕后也可及时断电,满足产品安规,提升了工具的安全性与用户的使用体验。

图12示出了本申请中作为另一实施例的电动工具500,图12示出的电动工具500为直流电钻,其他实施例中的电动工具也可以是钉枪、电圆锯等其他类型的手持式电动工具,或者台锯、斜锯等台型工具。
参考图13,图13为图12示出的电动工具500的电控原理图。电动工具500包括:电机510、供电管理装置520以及驱动装置530。其中,电机510的电机轴能够在转动后直接或通过传动组件间接地驱动输出轴转动,从而使输出轴驱动与其相连的诸如钻头、锯片等装配件执行紧固、切割等作业,一些示例中,电机510可以为直流无刷电机。供电管理装置520包括电源,并能够至少为电机510供电,一些示例中,供电管理装置520可以包括可拆卸的电池包等电源、以及可集成的电源芯片、晶体管和电阻、电容、电感等元器件。驱动装置530与电机510相连,能够驱动电机510运转以进行紧固、切割等作业,一些示例中,驱动装置530可以包括三相逆变电桥、驱动芯片等。
电动工具500还包括供用户操作以切换电动工具500的开关状态的操作装置540,一些示例中,操作装置540可以包括机械开关、信号开关等。操作装置540与供电管理装置520相连,且与后文即将描述的第一控制器550以及第二控制器560相连。在用户启用电动工具500时,操作装置540可以向第一控制器550以及第二控制器560输出表征启用电动工具的开启信号。而在用户停止使用电动工具500时,操作装置540可以向第一控制器550以及第二控制器560输出表征停用电动工具的关闭信号。一些示例中,开启信号和关闭信号可以为电压信号或电压跳变信号,例如,高压信号为开启信号,低压信号为关闭信号,另一些示例中,开启信号和关闭信号也可以为携带有具体信息的格式更为复杂的数字信号等。
电动工具500还包括第一控制器550和第二控制器560,一些示例中,第一控制器550可以包括诸如CPU(Central Processing Unit,中央处理单元)、MCU(Microcontroller Unit,微控制单元)等处理器以及存储有处理器可执行指令的存储器,第二控制器560亦然。
第一控制器550与驱动装置530以及操作装置540相连,能够接收来自操作装置540的开启信号。第一控制器550可被设置为在接收到开启信号时,向驱动装置530输出驱动信号。具体地,驱动信号为驱动装置530的控制信号,其用于控制驱动装置530正常工作。
第二控制器560与驱动装置530以及操作装置540相连,能够接收来自操 作装置540的开启信号。第二控制器560可被设置为在接收到开启信号时,向驱动装置530输出驱动使能信号。具体地,驱动使能信号为驱动装置530的供电信号或激活信号,其用于为驱动装置530提供电能或激活导通驱动装置530中的元器件。
而驱动装置530与电机510、第一控制器550以及第二控制器560相连,能够接收来自第一控制器550的驱动信号以及接收来自第二控制器560的驱动使能信号。驱动装置530可被设置为在接收到驱动信号且接收到驱动使能信号时,驱动电机510运转;而在仅接收到驱动信号、未接收到驱动使能信号的情况下,或在仅接收到驱动使能信号、未接收到驱动信号的情况下,无法驱动电机510运转。
下面针对图13示出的电动工具500中的各个装置做更详细的说明。
参考图14,一些实施例中,驱动装置530可为由多个半导体开关元件组成的驱动电路,在电机510为三相电机的情况下,驱动电路可由六个半导体开关元件组成。第一控制器550输出的驱动信号将传输至驱动装置530中的各个半导体开关元件以改变各个半导体开关元件的通断状态,继而改变施加在电机510各绕组上的电压状态或电流状态,从而控制电机510进行换相。而第二控制器560输出的驱动使能信号也将传输至驱动装置530以进行供电或导通其中的元器件,以使基于上述驱动信号所进行的电机控制具备能量基础或能够被顺利激活。如图14、图15所示,电机510为三相电机,驱动装置530中关于U相的部分驱动电路可以包括多个晶体管Q11、Q12,多个电阻以及整流二极管等,一些示例中,驱动电路中的晶体管Q11、Q12也可以使用诸如光耦等其他半导体元器件进行替代。其中,晶体管Q11的输入信号为驱动使能信号PWM_EN,晶体管Q12的输入信号为驱动信号ULO,接入驱动使能信号PWM_EN后,Q11、Q12得以导通,晶体管Q12的输出信号ULO’因而可以输出至半导体开关元件。
在一些实施例中,操作装置540可为拨动式开关,在被拨至开启状态对应位置时可以输出开启信号,而在被拨至关闭状态对应位置时则可输出关闭信号。另一些实施例中,操作装置540可为点触式开关,在电动工具500由关闭状态切换为开启状态时,点触式开关被按压,开关触点短暂接触后再分离,该情况下产生的跳变信号即为开启信号,例如,开启信号可以为高压变为低压的跳变信号。在电动工具100由开启状态切换为关闭状态时,点触式开关再次被按压,开关触点再次短暂接触后分离,该情况下产生的跳变信号即为关闭信号。而其他时段内,点触式开关未被按压,开关触点不接触,可以持续向外输出稳定的非跳变信号,例如,可以持续输出高压信号。
图13至图15描述的电动工具500中,驱动电机正常运行同时需要由第一 控制器提供的起控制作用的驱动信号、以及由第二控制器提供的起使能作用的驱动使能信号,双控制器均响应开启信号进行信号输出,无论双控制器中的任一方故障均无法驱动电机运行,从而为电机正常运行提供了双重保障,不会发生意外启动的问题,提升了工具的安全性及用户的使用体验。
在一些实施例中,第一控制器550还可以被设置为在接收到来自操作装置540的关闭信号时,停止向驱动装置530输出驱动信号。而驱动装置530在失去驱动信号后将无法驱动电机510运行,电机510因而停转。另一些实施例中,除第一控制器550停止向驱动装置530输出驱动信号外,第二控制器560也可以被设置为在接收到来自操作装置540的关闭信号时,停止向驱动装置530输出驱动使能信号。而驱动装置530在失去驱动信号且失去驱动使能信号后将无法驱动电机510运行,电机510因而停转。该实施例中,双控制器均响应关闭信号停止信号输出,在双控制器未产生故障的情况下,能够保障电机顺利停转。
参考图16,图16为本申请中作为另一实施例的电动工具600的电控原理图。电动工具600包括电机610、供电管理装置620、驱动装置630、操作装置640以及第一控制器650和第二控制器660。电动工具600可以根据需求部分或全部地引用电动工具500中电机510、供电管理装置520、驱动装置530、操作装置540以及第一控制器550和第二控制器560的元器件构成及设置方式,在电动工具500的基础上,电动工具600与电动工具500的区别至少在于,电动工具600中第一控制器650的电能由供电管理装置620提供,供电管理装置620的供电过程受第一控制器650控制,电动工具600能够实现延时关机功能。
电动工具600中,供电管理装置620与操作装置640以及第一控制器650相连。供电管理装置620能够接收来自操作装置640的开启信号,可以被设置为在接收到来自操作装置640的开启信号时,向第一控制器650输出第一使能信号,以使第一控制器650获得供电。所述第一使能信号为第一控制器650的供电信号,可以为符合其电压要求的电压信号。一些实施例中,供电管理装置620还与第二控制器660相连,在接收到开启信号时,除了向第一控制器650输出第一使能信号外,还可被设置为向第二控制器660输出第二使能信号,以使第二控制器660获得供电。所述第二使能信号为第二控制器660的供电信号,可以为符合其电压要求的电压信号。第一使能信号与第二使能信号的压值可以相同,也可以不同,例如,第一使能信号可以为12V电压信号,第二使能信号可以为3.3V信号。可以理解的是,其他实施例中,第一控制器650与第二控制器660的供电逻辑也可以是彼此独立的。
而第一控制器650还可以被设置为在接收到来自操作装置640的关闭信号时,等待第六预设时长T6后向供电管理装置620输出第一断电信号,第一断电信号可为电压信号。一些实施例中,第一控制器650也可被设置为在接收到来 自操作装置640的关闭信号时,向供电管理装置620输出第一断电信号,即第六预设时长为零。供电管理装置620则可被设置为在接收到第一断电信号时,停止向第一控制器650输出第一使能信号。一些实施例中,在接收到第一断电信号时,供电管理装置620除了停止向第一控制器650输出第一使能信号外,还可被设置为停止向第二控制器660输出第二使能信号。可以理解的是,其他实施例中,第一控制器650与第二控制器660的断电逻辑也可以是彼此独立的。
下面针对图16示出的电动工具600中的各个装置做更详细的说明。
在一些实施例中,操作装置640为点触式开关,开关触点在短暂接触后分离,无法形成持续的电路回路,供电管理装置620因而无法得到持续的开启信号,可能会在上电后随着开启信号的失去而掉电,只能向外短暂供电。为使供电管理装置620在上电后能够持续向外供电,第一控制器650还可以被设置为在接收到来自操作装置640的开启信号时,向供电管理装置620输出维持信号,以使供电管理装置620在失去开启信号时能够继续向外供电,维持信号可为电压信号。供电管理装置620则可被设置为在失去来自操作装置640的开启信号,但接收到来自第一控制器650的维持信号时,继续向第一控制器650输出第一使能信号,一些实施例中,也继续向第二控制器660输出第二使能信号。
第一控制器650还可以被设置为在接收到来自操作装置640的关闭信号时,停止向供电管理装置620输出维持信号,以使供电管理装置620不再向外供电。供电管理装置620则可被设置为在失去开启信号且失去维持信号时,停止向第一控制器650输出第一使能信号,一些实施例中,也停止向第二控制器660输出第二使能信号。此时,第一控制器650不再向供电管理装置620输出维持信号即可视为向供电管理装置620输出第一断电信号。
参考图17,操作装置640为点触式开关,供电管理装置620中的部分供电电路可以包括多个晶体管Q21、Q22、Q23,多个电阻、电容以及稳压二极管,一些示例中,供电电路中的晶体管Q21、Q22、Q23也可以使用诸如光耦等其他半导体元器件进行替代。其中,晶体管Q23的输入信号可接入来自第一控制器650的维持信号Powerkeep。在操作装置640中的开关触点接触时,晶体管Q21被短路,晶体管Q22得到导通,供电管理装置620上电成功,Q22产生输出信号,其通过电压转换等处理后可用作第一使能信号,一些实施例中,也可用作第二使能信号。而在操作装置640中的开关触点分离后,Q21不再导通,Q22亦未导通,为使供电管理装置620能够保持供电状态,第一控制器650接收开启信号并输出维持信号Powerkeep,维持信号Powekeep将使Q23导通,而Q23的输出信号可使Q21、Q22继续导通,Q22可继续输出信号,第一使能信号因而得以继续输出至第一控制器650,一些实施例中,第二使能信号也继续输出至第二控制器660。
在第一控制器650未发生故障的情况下,当第一控制器650接收到关闭信号并等待第六预设时长T6后,其不再输出维持信号Powerkeep,Q23不再导通,Q21、Q22亦不再导通,Q22不再输出信号,向第一控制器650输出的第一使能信号因而中断,一些实施例中,向第二控制器660输出的第二使能信号也中断。
图16至图17描述的电动工具600中,第一控制器和第二控制器的电能源自供电管理装置输出的使能信号,第一控制器将在接收到关闭信号时,等待预设时长后设法中断供电管理装置的供电。在第一控制器未产生故障的情况下,能够安全实现电动工具延时关机的功能,在电机停转而整机未掉电的待机状态下,双控制器可以对用户操作进行快速响应或控制实现照明、显示等辅助功能,直至最终关机。
参考图18,图18为本申请中作为又一实施例的电动工具700的电控原理图。电动工具700在包括电机710、供电管理装置720、驱动装置730、操作装置740以及第一控制器750和第二控制器760之外,还包括参数检测装置770。电动工具700可以根据需求部分或全部地引用电动工具600中电机610、供电管理装置620、驱动装置630、操作装置640以及第一控制器650和第二控制器660的元器件构成及设置方式,在电动工具600的基础上,电动工具700与电动工具600的区别至少在于,电动工具700中供电管理装置720的供电过程在受第一控制器750控制之外,还受第二控制器760控制,能够在第一控制器750故障的情况下安全关机。
电动工具700中,参数检测装置770与电机710以及第二控制器760相连。参数检测装置770能够对诸如相电流、相电压、转子位置、电机转速等电机运行参数进行检测,可以被设置为检测电机710的运行参数并将运行参数传输至第二控制器760。一些示例中,参数检测装置770可以为各类传感器。
第二控制器760还与供电管理装置720相连。第二控制器760还被设置为在接收到来自操作装置740的关闭信号后,等待第七预设时长T7,确定来自参数检测装置770的运行参数是否仍处于变化状态下,第七预设时长T7可以小于或等于第六预设时长T6。关闭信号发出并经过第七预设时长T7后,在第一控制器750未故障情况下,其已停止向驱动装置730输出驱动信号,驱动装置730已停止驱动电机710运行,电机710的运行参数应当处于不变化的状态,因而若第二控制器760确定来自参数检测装置770的电机运行参数未处于变化状态下,可以不动作,等待第六预设时长T6耗尽后自然关机即可。
而在电机运行参数处于变化状态的情况下,第一控制器750可能存在软件故障等问题,第一控制器750仍向驱动装置730输出驱动信号,驱动装置730仍在驱动电机710运行,此情况下,第二控制器760可以被设置为向供电管理 装置720输出第二断电信号,第二断电信号可为电压信号。供电管理装置720则可被设置为在接收到来自第二控制器760的第二断电信号时,停止向第一控制器750输出所述第一使能信号。第一控制器750在失去来自供电管理装置720的第一使能信号时将停止向驱动装置730输出驱动信号,而驱动装置730在失去驱动信号后将无法驱动电机710运行,电机710因而停转。一些实施例中,在接收到来自第二断电信号时,除了停止向第一控制器750输出第一使能信号,供电管理装置720还可被设置为停止向第二控制器760输出第二使能信号,以使整机断电。
此外,考虑到驱动装置730中的晶体管在得到来自第一控制器750的驱动信号,但未得到来自第二控制器760的驱动使能信号的情况下,可能会出现晶体管损坏等情况,一些实施例中,第二控制器760可以在接收到关闭信号时不停止驱动使能信号的输出,而设置为在接收到关闭信号并经历第七预设时长T7后,停止向驱动装置730输出驱动使能信号,从而避免上述晶体管损坏的问题。
下面对图18所示的电动工具700中的各个装置做更详细的说明。
参考图19,一些实施例中,操作装置740为点触式开关,供电管理装置720中的部分供电电路可以包括多个晶体管Q31、Q32、Q33,多个电阻、电容以及稳压二极管,一些示例中,驱动电路中的晶体管Q31、Q32、Q33也可以使用诸如光耦等其他半导体元器件进行替代。其中,晶体管Q31的输入信号可接入来自第二控制器760的第二断电信号Poweroff,晶体管Q33的输入信号可接入来自第一控制器750的维持信号Powerkeep。在电动工具700处于开启状态时,第一控制器750输出的维持信号Powekeep使得Q33导通,Q31、Q32亦导通,Q32输出的信号经电压转换等处理后用作第一使能信号。
在第一控制器750发生故障的情况下,第一控制器750接收到关闭信号时无法停止驱动信号的输出,驱动装置730仍驱动电机710运行,参数检测装置770将变化状态的电机运行参数传输至第二控制器760。第二控制器760在接收到关闭信号的第七预设时长T7后,确定当前电机运行参数处于变化状态,输出第二断电信号Poweroff,第二断电信号Poweroff将使Q21断开,Q22亦断开,Q22不再输出信号,向第一控制器750输出的第一使能信号因而中断,第一控制器750因失去供电而无法向驱动装置730输出驱动信号,驱动装置730因失去驱动信号而停止驱动电机710,电机710停转。一些实施例,Q22不再输出信号,向第二控制器760输出的第二使能信号也中断,整机掉电。
图18至图19描述的电动工具700中,第二控制器通过电机运行参数的状态确认电机是否仍在运行,即,确认第一控制器是否故障,并在参数变化(第一控制器故障)的情况下设法中断供电管理装置向第一控制器的供电,以使第 一控制器掉电并停止驱动信号的输出,从而在第一控制器产生故障的情况下,顺利实现电机停转或进一步实现关机,只要双控制器中仍有一个控制器可以正常工作就不会发生无法关闭的问题,提升了工具的安全性及用户的使用体验。
