Abstract
An electric tool system includes an electric tool device and a camera device. The electric tool device has a drive unit and an electric tool communication unit. The drive unit performs tightening work of tightening a tightening component to a work target. The electric tool communication unit performs communication with outside. The camera device has a fixing unit, an image capturing unit, and a camera communication unit. The fixing unit is removably attached to the electric tool device. The image capturing unit captures an image of at least the work target. The camera communication unit performs communication with the outside.
Claims7
An electric tool system comprising:
- an electric tool device having a drive unit that performs tightening work of tightening a tightening component to a work target using power from a power source and an electric tool communication unit that performs communication with outside;
- a camera device having a fixing unit that is removably attached to the electric tool device, an image capturing unit that captures an image of at least the work target, and a camera communication unit that performs communication with the outside;
- and
- a processor that controls at least one of the image capturing unit and the camera communication unit on the basis of an operating state of the drive unit, wherein
- the camera device includes at least one of a sound sensor and a vibration sensor that senses a first operating state, as a sensing result, indicating whether the drive unit is (1) in operation, in which the drive unit performs the tightening work, or (2) not in operation, in which the drive unit does not perform the tightening work, and
- the processor controls the at least one of the image capturing unit and the camera communication unit on a basis of the first operating state.
A camera device comprising:
- an image capturing unit that captures an image of a work target of tightening work to which a drive unit of an electric tool device tightens a tightening component using power from a power source;
- a fixing unit that is removably attached to the electric tool device;
- a camera communication unit that communicates with the outside;
- at least one of a sound sensor and a vibration sensor that senses a first operating state, as a sensing result, indicating whether the drive unit is (1) in operation, in which the drive unit performs the tightening work, or (2) not in operation, in which the drive unit does not perform the tightening work,
- a processor that controls the at least one of the image capturing unit and the camera communication unit on a basis of the first operating state.
