Abstract

A hand-held power tool, in particular an electric hand tool, includes an identification module and a housing. The identification module includes a transponder having at least one data store configured to store identification information and a radio module configured to transmit the identification data. The identification module is integrated into the housing.

Claims

1. A hand-held power tool comprising:

a housing defining a receiving recess, a replacement opening of the receiving recess, and a cover that selectively closes and uncovers the replacement opening;

an identification module in the receiving recess of the housing, the identification module including an energy storage device assigned only to the identification module and a transponder having;

at least one data storage device configured to store identification data; and

a radio module operable to transmit the identification data; and

at least one damping element configured to hold the identification module in the receiving recess,

wherein the at least one damping element is elastically deformable,

wherein the energy storage device includes a first energy storage unit and a second energy storage unit.

2. The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein the energy storage device is configured so as to be replaceable.

3. The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

electronics that are wired or wirelessly coupled to the identification module.

4. The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

an energy supply,

wherein the energy storage device is rechargeable, and is either electrically connected or electrically connectable to the energy supply of the hand-held power tool.

5. The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein the identification module further includes a module housing.

6. The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hand-held power tool is an electric hand-held power tool.

7. A hand-held power tool, comprising:

a housing defining a receiving recess, a replacement opening of the receiving recess, and a cover that selectively closes and uncovers the replacement opening;

an identification module in the receiving recess of the housing, the identification module including an energy storage device assigned only to the identification module and a transponder having;

at least one data storage device configured to store identification data; and

a radio module operable to transmit the identification data; and

at least one damping element configured to hold the identification module in the receiving recess,

wherein the at least one damping element is elastically deformable,

wherein the energy storage device includes a first energy storage unit and a second energy storage unit,

wherein replacement of the first energy storage unit does not interrupt operation of the identification module, since the identification module continues to be operated by the second energy storage unit, and

wherein replacement of the second energy storage unit does not interrupt operation of the identification module, since the identification module continues to be operated by the first energy storage unit.

8. The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 7, further comprising:

electronics that are wired or wirelessly coupled to the identification module.

9. The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 7, further comprising:

an energy supply,

wherein the energy storage device is rechargeable, and is either electrically connected or electrically connectable to the energy supply of the hand-held power tool.

10. The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 7, wherein the identification module further includes a module housing.

11. The hand-held power tool as claimed in claim 7, wherein the hand-held power tool is an electric hand-held power tool.
