Abstract

An electric operating machine comprising a motor and a power circuit driving the motor by the electric power supplied from a battery. The power circuit comprises a voltage conversion part converting an input voltage entered in accordance with a voltage of said battery to generate an output voltage and outputting said generated output voltage to said motor. The power circuit is structured so that the voltage value of said output voltage of said voltage conversion part is changeable.

Claims (15)

1. An electric operating machine comprising:

a motor; and

a power circuit driving said motor by the electric power supplied from a battery, wherein:

said power circuit comprises a voltage conversion part converting an input voltage entered in accordance with a voltage of said battery to generate an output voltage and outputting said generated output voltage to said motor,

said power circuit is structured so that the voltage value of said output voltage of said voltage conversion part is changeable,

said voltage conversion part is configured to convert the output voltage of the battery to generate a target output voltage, the target output voltage being the input voltage to said motor and higher than the output voltage of the battery, the target output voltage having a same voltage value if the voltage of said battery is within a predetermined range including a plurality of voltage values, and

said voltage conversion part is configured to lower the voltage value of the output voltage when the output voltage from the battery is out of the predetermined range and less than or equal to a predetermined value due to a usage of the battery.

2. The electric operating machine according to claim 1 , wherein said power circuit further comprises:

a voltage detection part outputting a first signal in accordance with the voltage of said battery, and

said voltage conversion part lowers the voltage value of a new output voltage generated when said voltage detection part outputs said first signal.

3. The electric operating machine according to claim 2 , wherein said voltage detection part outputs said first signal when the voltage value of the output voltage of said battery does not satisfy a given criterion.

4. The electric operating machine according to claim 3 , wherein said voltage conversion part lowers the voltage value of said output voltage when said first signal is supplied.

5. The electric operating machine according to claim 2 , wherein said power circuit further comprises:

a voltage control part outputting to said voltage conversion part a second signal of a voltage value in accordance with said output voltage output from said voltage conversion part, and

said voltage conversion part generates a new output voltage having a voltage value in accordance with said second signal output from said voltage control part, when said voltage detection part does not output said first signal.
