Abstract

The purpose of the present disclosure is to accurately determine whether there is a malfunction in screw fastening in an electric power tool that performs an impact operation. An electric power tool (10) comprises: a motor; a hammer; an anvil; an output shaft; an impact detection unit (112); a motor control unit (115); and a storage unit (117). Upon receiving a predetermined command from an external device (50a), the motor control unit (115) fastens a screw by means of a preset control of the motor. The motor control unit (115) executes a determination process for determining whether there is a malfunction in screw fastening, on the basis of the relationship between the rotational angle of the motor and the detection result from the impact detection unit (112) of whether there is an impact operation. The preset control includes stopping the motor when it is determined, as a result of the determination process, that there is a malfunction in screw fastening.

Abstract

The problem to be addressed by the present invention is to provide a torque clutch mechanism and a power tool that make it possible to vary the magnitude of load torque when idling during forward rotational drive and during reverse rotational drive. In a torque clutch mechanism (1), as a base member (2) rotates while an engaging protrusion (23) on a base-side opposing surface (22) is in an engagement state with an engaging element (4), a clutch member (3) rotates, and if the load torque acting on the clutch member (3) reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, the engaging protrusion (23) rides past the engaging element (4), causing the base member (2) to idle. A through hole (33) has: an inner surface (330) against which the engaging element (4) abuts during forward rotation of the base member (2); and an inner surface (331) against which the engaging element (4) abuts during reverse rotation thereof. The angles (α, β) that the inner surfaces (330, 331) form with respect to a clutch-side opposing surface (34) differ from each other.

A control system (1) comprises a rotary encoder (42), a first control unit (40), and a second control unit (20). The rotary encoder (42) outputs a pulse signal that corresponds to the rotational angle of a rotary operation unit that can be rotationally operated. The first control unit (40) calculates the rotational direction, rotational speed, and amount of rotation of the rotary operation unit on the basis of the pulse signal from the rotary encoder (42) and outputs an output signal that is based on the rotational direction, rotational speed, and amount of rotation of the rotary operation unit. The second control unit (20) controls the amount of power supplied to a load (7) on the basis of the output signal from the first control unit (40). The time interval it takes for the first control unit (40) to acquire the pulse signal is shorter than the time interval it takes for the first control unit (40) to transmit the output signal.

Abstract

To reduce power consumption and enable a quick change from one communication path to another when detecting a decrease in quality of communication for communicating user data, a first base station determines a second base station and a third base station, and then the first base station transmits a connection request message to a terminal, the second base station and the third base station concurrently with transmitting a communication request message to the second base station, and, while the second base station is in communication with the terminal, upon detecting a decrease in quality of communication with the terminal based on a reception status of an uplink signal from the terminal, the second base station transmits a path switching request message to the first base station, which in turn transfers the received path switching request message transmitted from the second base station to the third base station.

Abstract

This excreta determination device (2) comprises: a data acquisition unit (211) which acquires first time-series data that indicates a hydrogen concentration in a space inside a toilet, the concentration being measured by an internal sensor (1) disposed inside the toilet; an excreta determination unit (212) which determines, on the basis of the first time-series data of the hydrogen concentration, whether a discharger flatulates; and a determination result output unit (213) which outputs the determination result, wherein the excreta determination unit (212) determines the discharger has flatulated, when the value of the hydrogen concentration in the first time-series data is greater than a threshold.

Abstract

A battery module comprises a battery laminate in which a plurality of batteries each having an output terminal 12 are arrayed, and a busbar 4 that is joined to the output terminal 12 of each battery and electrically connects the plurality of batteries. The output terminal 12 has a probe mark 18 on the surface facing the busbar 4, and the busbar 4 has a recess 22 facing the probe mark 18.

Abstract

A waste identification device (2) comprises: a sound data acquisition unit (211) that acquires sound data collected by a microphone (1) positioned inside a toilet; a waste identification unit (213) into which the acquired sound data is inputted into a machine-learned identification model that uses, as an input value, sound data indicating a defecation sound, a urination sound, and/or a flatulence sound, and uses, as an output value, whether defecation, urination, and/or flatulence has occurred, thereby identifying whether defecation, urination, and/or flatulence has occurred; and an identification result output unit (214) that outputs the identification result.
