Abstract

A handheld tool having a battery interface is described, in which a provision is made for the handheld tool to have at least one measuring device interface, which is provided to receive at least data containing measuring information of a handheld tool add-on measuring device.

Claims (36)

1. A system, comprising:

a handheld tool add-on measuring device, the handheld tool add-on measuring device including at least one handheld tool interface configured to transmit data containing measuring information of the handheld tool add-on measuring device at least to a handheld tool, and an energy interface configured to receive energy from a handheld tool battery;

a handheld tool, the handheld tool including a battery interface, a drive motor, and at least one measuring device interface, which is configured to receive at least data containing measuring information of the handheld tool add-on measuring device to influence a work process of the drive motor as a function of the measuring information;

the handheld tool battery, the handheld tool battery including a handheld tool interface configured to supply power to the battery interface of the handheld tool, and a battery measuring device interface configured to supply power to the energy interface of the handheld tool add-on measuring device,

wherein the measuring device interface of the handheld tool is situated in or on a side of a housing of the handheld tool,

wherein the handheld tool add-on measuring device is disconnectable without the use of a tool.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a control unit configured to influence the work process of the drive motor as a function of the measuring information.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the control unit is configured to stop the work process of the drive motor as a function of the measuring information.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the measuring device interface includes at least one receiving arrangement for receiving wirelessly transmitted data containing measuring information of the handheld tool add-on measuring device.

5. The system of claim 1 ,

wherein the energy interface, in at least one operating state, outputs an operating energy to the handheld tool add-on measuring device.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one switching element to switch, as a function of the data containing measuring information, an energy supply of the handheld tool at least one of on or off.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a handheld tool battery which is electrically and mechanically connected to the battery interface.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the battery interface and the measuring device interface of the handheld tool are at least one of functionally separated or spatially separated from one another.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the handheld tool interface of the handheld tool add-on measuring device includes a transmitting device configured to transmit data containing measuring information wirelessly to a receiving device of the measuring device interface of the handheld tool.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the handheld tool interface of the handheld tool add-on measuring device is directly connected to the handheld tool.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the handheld tool interface of the handheld tool battery is directly connected to the handheld tool.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the handheld tool interface of the handheld tool add-on measuring device is indirectly connected to the handheld tool and transmits data containing measuring information via the handheld tool battery.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the handheld tool battery includes a housing, the handheld tool interface and the measuring device interface of the handheld tool battery being disposed on opposite sides of the housing.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the handheld tool add-on measuring device includes a measuring sensor configured to provide at least one measuring information selected from the group of inclination, distance, temperature, humidity, and condition of a workpiece.

15. A system, comprising:

a handheld tool add-on measuring device, the handheld tool add-on measuring device including at least one handheld tool interface configured to transmit data containing measuring information of the handheld tool add-on measuring device at least to a handheld tool, and an energy interface configured to receive energy from a handheld tool battery;

a handheld tool, the handheld tool including a battery interface, a drive motor, and at least one measuring device interface, which is configured to receive at least data containing measuring information of the handheld tool add-on measuring device to influence a work process of the drive motor as a function of the measuring information;

the handheld tool battery, the handheld tool battery including a handheld tool interface configured to supply power to the battery interface of the handheld tool, and a battery measuring device interface configured to supply power to the energy interface of the handheld tool add-on measuring device,

wherein the measuring device interface of the handheld tool is situated in or on a side of a housing of the handheld tool,

wherein the handheld tool add-on measuring device is embodied as a retrofit measuring device which is constructionally separated from the handheld tool and the handheld tool battery.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the handheld tool add-on measuring device is disconnectable without the use of a tool.

17. A system, comprising:

a handheld tool add-on measuring device, the handheld tool add-on measuring device including at least one handheld tool interface configured to transmit data containing measuring information of the handheld tool add-on measuring device at least to a handheld tool, and an energy interface configured to receive energy from a handheld tool battery;

a handheld tool, the handheld tool including a battery interface, a drive motor, and at least one measuring device interface, which is configured to receive at least data containing measuring information of the handheld tool add-on measuring device to influence a work process of the drive motor as a function of the measuring information;

the handheld tool battery, the handheld tool battery including a handheld tool interface configured to supply power to the battery interface of the handheld tool, and a battery measuring device interface configured to supply power to the energy interface of the handheld tool add-on measuring device,

wherein the measuring device interface of the handheld tool is situated in or on a side of a housing of the handheld tool,

wherein the handheld tool add-on measuring device is configured to be manually connected to and disconnected from the handheld tool without the use of a tool.
