Abstract
An electric working machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor, a controller, and a setter. The controller is configured to change a rotational state of the motor, in response to an establishment of a condition for change after the motor is initiated, from a low speed rotation to a high speed rotation. The setter is configured to set, based on a situation in the motor in the low speed rotation, a control variable of the motor in the high speed rotation and/or the condition for change.
Claims17
An electric working machine comprising:
- a motor;
- a spindle configured to be rotated by the motor;
- a hammer arranged around the spindle;
- a coil spring configured to bias the hammer towards a front of the electric working machine;
- an anvil configured to be rotatably supported in a front side of the hammer and to receive an impact by the hammer;
- a trigger switch configured to be manipulated by a user of the electric working machine to manipulate rotational state of the motor;
- an electric current detection circuit connected to the motor and configured to detect a detected current value, the detected current value corresponding to a magnitude of current supplied to the motor;
- and
- a control circuit configured to:
- initiate the motor at a preset low speed rotation in response to a manipulation on the trigger switch,
- increment an electric current counter in response to the detected current value being equal to or greater than an electric current threshold value,
- decrement the electric current counter in response to the detected current value being less than the electric current threshold value,
- change a rotational state of the motor, in response to a value of the electric current counter exceeding a specified value after the motor is initiated, from the low speed rotation to a high speed rotation,
- set the specified value to a first count value in response to the detected current value being equal to or greater than a determination current value, the determination current value being greater than the electric current threshold value, and
- set the specified value to a second count value in response to the detected current value being less than the determination current value, the first count value being greater than the second count value.
