Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a drywall screwdriver (1), an electric motor (3) of the drywall screwdriver (1) being driven by means of a plurality of temporally spaced individual pulses (11) in order to allow a user to influence the countersinking of a screw (7) in a workpiece (10) in pulses. According to the invention, a screwing tool (8) that is mechanically coupled to the electric motor (3) and can be brought into engagement with the screw (7) is moved further by a predetermined angle of rotation (a) with each of the individual pulses (11).
Claims21
A method for operating a drywall screwdriver, the method comprising the following method steps:
- driving an electric motor of the drywall screwdriver with a plurality of temporally spaced individual pulses configured to allow a user to influence a countersinking of a screw in a workpiece in pulses, and
- manipulating a screwing tool that is mechanically coupled to the electric motor and configured to engage with the screw by a predetermined angle of rotation (α) with each pulse of the plurality of temporally spaced individual pulses.
A non-transient computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform a method for operating a drywall screwdriver, the method comprising:
- receiving, via a control device, an input from a user to direct the drywall screwdriver;
- and
- transmitting, via the control device, a control command signal, wherein the control command signal is configured to:
- instruct an electric motor of the drywall screwdriver to transmit a plurality of temporally spaced individual pulses to a screwing tool coupled to the electric motor, and
- execute, via the screwing tool, a countersinking of a screw, wherein the screwing tool is configured to manipulate the screw by a predetermined angle of rotation (α) with each pulse of the plurality of temporally spaced individual pulses.
(canceled)
A drywall screwdriver, comprising:
- an electric motor configured to facilitate a countersinking of a screw in a workpiece;
- a screwing tool mechanically coupled to the electric motor and configured to removably engage with the screw;
- and
- a control device configured to receive and translate instructions from a user and direct, via a control command signal, operation of the electric motor,
- wherein the control command signal is configured to instruct the electric motor to transmit a plurality of temporally spaced individual pulses to the screwing tool to facilitate the countersinking of the screw, and
- wherein the screwing tool is configured to countersink the screw by a predetermined angle of rotation (α) with each pulse of the plurality of temporally spaced individual pulses.
