Abstract

A power tool system with a separate data processing or displaying equipment is provided. The power tool system includes a power tool, a detection device, a store device, a transceiver, a controller adapted to be in data communication with at least one of the detection device, the store device and the transceiver, and a wireless data retrieval and/or process sub-system adapted for receipt of data from the transceiver and/or transmission of control command to the transceiver, wherein the wireless data retrieval and/or process sub-system includes a data process or display equipment independent of the power tool and is configured to be remotely removed away from the power tool so as to have a separate and/or remote piece of equipment for processing or displaying a select data from the power tool or the power tools on the data process or display equipment.

Claims

1. A power tool system, comprising:

a power tool including a motor;

a detection device for detecting performance parameters of the power tool;

a store device for storing data corresponding to the detected performance parameters of the power tool;

a transceiver for transmitting data corresponding to the detected performance parameters of the power tool;

a controller adapted to be in data communication with at least one of the detection device, the store device and the transceiver; and

a wireless data retrieval and/or process sub-system adapted for receipt of data from the transceiver and/or for transmission of control commands to the transceiver;

wherein the wireless data retrieval and/or process sub-system includes a data process equipment that is independent of the power tool and which is configured to be remotely removed away from the power tool.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the power tool includes a motor shaft driven by the motor and the detection device includes a motor sensor for measuring a rotation state of the motor shaft as the motor rotates by the motor shaft, and the performance parameters as detected by the detection device includes a rotation speed, a rotation direction, a rotation angle of the driven motor shaft, and/or duration time that the rotate of motor shaft maintains.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the power tool includes an identifier for generating an identification code corresponding to a select performance parameter of the power tool and the data process equipment is configured to recognize the performance parameter by the identification code.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the performance parameters as detected by the detection device include types of power tools, usage purposes of power tools, factory dates of power tools, types of battery packs suitable for use with the associated power tools and/or the remaining power the battery pack has.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the detection device includes a position sensor for sensing a position of the power tool relative to a select point and for monitoring position variables of the power tool and wherein the performance parameters as detected include positions and/or position variables associated with the power tool.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the controller is activated by the wireless data retrieval and/or process sub-system and configured to enable the transceiver to transmit the data corresponding to positions of the power tool relative to a select point.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the data process equipment is a device that can be in data transmission with an external equipment via a mobile network.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the data process equipment is a mobile device in a form of a handset or a computer.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the data process equipment is configured to be in data communication with the transceiver via a select one from a group of Bluetooth, Zig Bee, Wi-Fi and NFC protocols.

10. A power tool system, comprising:

a power tool;

a power device for powering the power tool;

a detection device for detecting performance parameters of the power device;

a store device for storing data corresponding to the detected performance parameters of the power device;

a source-based transceiver for at least transmitting data corresponding to the detected performance parameters of the power device;

a controller adapted to be in data communication with at least one of the detection device, the store device and the transceiver; and

a wireless data retrieval and/or process sub-system adapted for receipt of data from the transceiver and/or transmission of control command to the transceiver;

wherein the wireless data retrieval and/or process sub-system includes a data display equipment independent of the power tool and configured to be remotely removed away from the power tool.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the wireless data retrieval and/or process sub-system includes a data display part configured to be detachably attached to the power device or the power tool.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the wireless data retrieval and/or process sub-system includes a data display part configured to be detachably attached to the power device and selectively removed away from the power device to a remote location as needed.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the power device is provided with a cabinet and the data display part is configured to be removably received within the cabinet of the power device.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the power tool includes the power device detachably attached thereto, the power device is provided with a cabinet on a wall thereof, and the data display part is removably received within the cabinet of the power device.

15. The system of claim 10, wherein the power tool includes a housing thereof, at least one of the detection device, the store device, the source-based transceiver and the controller is disposed within the housing of the power tool.

16. The system of claim 10, wherein the power device includes a battery pack and a battery case for receiving the battery pack, at least one of the detection device, the source transceiver and the controller is disposed within the case of the power device.

17. The system of claim 10, wherein the data display equipment includes a display panel and a terminal transceiver at least for receipt of the data transmitted from the source-based transceiver, the terminal transceiver being in data communication with the source-based transceiver.
