Abstract

A driving tool comprising: a plunger; a motor configured to move the plunger from a bottom dead center to a top dead center; a driving unit configured to use the plunger to drive a fastener by moving the plunger from the top dead center to the bottom dead center; a voltage fluctuation information acquisition unit configured to acquire voltage fluctuation information indicating a fluctuation amount of a voltage applied to the motor during movement of the plunger; and a control unit configured to control the motor based on the voltage fluctuation information.

Claims (23)

1. A driving tool comprising:

a plunger;

a motor configured to move the plunger from a bottom dead center to a top dead center;

a spring configured to cause the plunger to drive a fastener by moving the plunger from the top dead center to the bottom dead center; and

a processor configured to acquire voltage fluctuation information indicating a fluctuation amount of a voltage applied to the motor during movement of the plunger, and configured to control the motor based on the voltage fluctuation information,

wherein the processor is configured to control the motor based on an inflection point of the fluctuation amount of the voltage, wherein the inflection point is a time when a fluctuation amount of the fluctuation amount per unit time changes from one of: positive to negative or negative to positive.

2. The driving tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to acquire temperature information, and is further configured to start control to reduce a rotation speed of the motor based on the temperature information.

3. The driving tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a battery configured to apply a voltage to the motor,

wherein the processor is configured to acquire information indicating a fluctuation mount of a power supply voltage of the battery as the voltage fluctuation information.

4. A drive tool comprising:

a plunger;

a motor configured to move the plunger from a bottom dead center to a top dead center;

a spring configured to cause the plunger to drive a fastener by moving the plunger from the top dead center to the bottom dead center; and

a processor configured to acquire current fluctuation information indicating a fluctuation amount of a current flowing through the motor during movement of the plunger, and configured to control the motor based on the current fluctuation information,

wherein the processor is configured to control the motor based on an inflection point of the fluctuation amount of the current, wherein the inflection point is a time when a fluctuation amount of the fluctuation amount per unit time changes from one of: positive to negative or negative to positive.

5. A driving tool comprising:

a plunger;

a motor configured to move the plunger from a bottom dead center to a top dead center;

a spring configured to cause the plunger to drive a fastener by moving the plunger from the top dead center to the bottom dead center; and

a processor configured to acquire speed information indicating a moving speed of the plunger after the plunger is moved from the top dead center to the bottom dead center, and configured to control the motor based on the speed information,

wherein the processor is further configured to start control to reduce a rotation speed of the motor based on the speed information.
