Power tool system
View Patent ↗A power tool system includes a plurality of tool devices. Each of the tool devices includes a condition detection unit that detects condition information of the tool device and a communication unit capable of performing bidirectional wireless communication with a further one of the tool devices. The communication unit is configured to obtain the condition information of the tool device from the condition detection unit and transmit the obtained condition information of the tool device to the further one of the tool devices.
1. A power tool system comprising:
a plurality of tool devices, wherein each of the tool devices includes
a condition detection unit that detects condition information of the tool device, and
a communication unit capable of performing bidirectional wireless communication with a further one of the tool devices, wherein
the communication unit is configured to obtain the condition information of the tool device from the condition detection unit and transmit the obtained condition information of the tool device to the further one of the tool devices,
further comprising at least one mobile terminal having a communication protocol that is the same as those of the tool devices,
wherein the communication unit of each of the tool devices is configured to perform communication with the at least one mobile terminal, and
wherein the communication unit of each of the tool devices is configured to perform communication based on information that is predetermined and shared between the communication unit and the at least one mobile terminal.
2. The power tool system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the tool devices includes a tool device body that includes a connector attached in a removable manner to the communication unit.
3. A power tool system comprising:
a plurality of tool devices, wherein each of the tool devices includes
a condition detection unit that detects condition information of the tool device, and
a communication unit capable of performing bidirectional wireless communication with a further one of the tool devices, wherein
the communication unit is configured to obtain the condition information of the tool device from the condition detection unit and transmit the obtained condition information of the tool device to the further one of the tool devices,
further comprising at least one mobile terminal having a communication protocol that is the same as those of the tool devices,
wherein the communication unit of each of the tool devices is configured to perform communication with the at least one mobile terminal, and
wherein the communication unit of each of the tool devices is configured to transmit, to another one of the tool devices and the mobile terminal that are capable of performing communication with the tool device, the condition information of the tool device obtained from the condition detection unit.
4. The power tool system according to claim 3 , wherein
when receiving the condition information of the tool device transmitted from at least one of the tool devices, the at least one mobile terminal generates a control signal based on the received condition information of the tool device and transmits the control signal to the at least one of the tool devices, which has transmitted the condition information of the tool device, and
each of the tool devices includes a controller that controls the tool device based on the control signal when the communication unit receives the control signal transmitted from the at least one mobile terminal.
5. The power tool system according to claim 1 , wherein when receiving the condition information of the tool device transmitted from the further one of the tool devices, the communication unit of each of the tool devices is configured to transmit, to another one of the tool devices and the mobile terminal that are capable of performing communication with the tool device, the received condition information of the tool device and the condition information of the tool device obtained from the condition detection unit.
