Electric tool system
View Patent ↗An electric tool system includes an electric tool device and a history storage unit. The electric tool device includes a holder, a drive unit, a measuring unit, and an image capturing unit. The holder holds a fastening member thereon. The drive unit performs fastening work of fastening the fastening member into a work target by transmitting driving force to the holder. The measuring unit measures, as a torque measured value, a fastening torque value of the fastening work. The image capturing unit generates a captured image by capturing an image of at least the holder. The history storage unit stores history information in which the torque measured value and the captured image are associated with each other.
1 . An electric tool system comprising:
a plurality of electric tool devices;
a history storage unit;
a communications device configured to be ready to communicate with the plurality of the electric tool devices; and
a center device configured to be ready to communicate with the communications device, wherein:
each of the plurality of electric tool devices includes:
a holder configured to hold a fastening member thereon;
a drive unit configured to perform fastening work of fastening the fastening member into a work target by transmitting driving force to the holder;
a measuring unit configured to measure, as a torque measured value, a fastening torque value of the fastening work; and
an image capturing unit configured to generate a captured image by capturing an image of at least a part of the holder,
the history storage unit is configured to store history information in which the torque measured value and the captured image are associated with each other,
the communications device is configured to receive data about the torque measured value and the captured image from each of the plurality of the electric tool devices and transmit the data to the center device,
the center device includes the history storage unit,
the communications device includes a communications device storage unit,
the communications device storage unit is configured to receive the data about the torque measured value and the captured image from each of the plurality of the electric tool devices and store the data as a work result, every time a session of the fastening work is done by the plurality of the electric tool devices, and
the communications device is configured to, when a predetermined transmission condition is satisfied, transmit the work results stored in the communications device storage unit to the center device.
2 . The electric tool system of claim 1 , wherein
the image capturing unit is configured to generate the captured image by capturing the image of at least the part of the holder after the drive unit has finished the fastening work.
3 . The electric tool system of claim 1 , wherein
the image capturing unit is configured to generate a plurality of the captured images at multiple different timings, respectively, on a time axis by capturing the image of at least the part of the holder at each of the multiple different timings, and
the history storage unit is configured to store the plurality of the captured images in association with the torque measured value.
4 . The electric tool system of claim 3 , wherein
the multiple different timings are a first timing at which the drive unit starts performing the fastening work and a second timing at which the drive unit finishes performing the fastening work.
5 . The electric tool system of claim 1 , wherein
the predetermined transmission condition is that a preset time has passed since the communications device has transmitted the work result to the center device last time.
6 . The electric tool system of claim 1 , wherein
the predetermined transmission condition is that a numerical number of the work results stored in the communications device storage unit has reached a preset number.
7 . The electric tool system of claim 1 , wherein
the fastening work includes multiple sessions, and
the predetermined transmission condition is that the communications device storage unit has stored a work result of a prescribed one of the multiple sessions of the fastening work.
