Abstract

To provide a construction technique of a stone material crushing tool which can prevent complication of working environment. An electrically-driven stone material crushing tool including a motor having an output shaft, a motion converting mechanism to convert a rotating movement from the output shaft to a linear movement, and a crushing member to crush the stone material by clamping by means of the linear movement of the motion converting mechanism.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . An electrically-driven stone material crushing tool comprising:
a motor provided with an output shaft; a motion converting mechanism which converts rotating output from the output shaft to linear movement; a crushing member which clamps a stone material to be crushed by means of the linear movement; a position detecting member that detects a nut interlocking detector at a first position and a second position; a controller which controls the motor based on a detected position of the nut interlocking detector; and a crushing detecting member that detects completion of a stone crushing operation of the stone material, wherein in response to a detected completion of the stone crushing operation, and before the nut interlocking detector reaches the second position from the first position, the controller controls the motor in a direction to return the nut interlocking detector to the first position, and wherein in response to a detected non-completion of the stone crushing operation, and the nut interlocking detector reaches the second position from the first position, the controller controls the motor in the direction to return the nut interlocking detector to the first position.

2 . The electrically-driven stone material crushing tool as described in claim 1 , wherein the motion converting mechanism is defined by a screw feed mechanism comprising a screw portion, a nut portion screwed to the screw portion.

3 . The electrically-driven stone material crushing tool as described in claim 2 , wherein the rotating output of the output shaft causes the nut portion to linearly move along the screw portion based on a rotating movement of the screw portion.

4 . The electrically-driven stone material crushing tool as described in claim 1 , wherein the crushing member comprises a stone material clamping portion which clamps the stone material in a predetermined clamping direction such that the linear movement of the motion converting mechanism coincides with the clamping direction.

5 . The electrically-driven stone material crushing tool as described in claim 4 , wherein an extending direction of the output shaft coincides with the clamping direction.

6 . The electrically-driven stone material crushing tool as described in claim 1 , further comprising a rotating movement converting mechanism which converts the linear movement of the motion converting mechanism to a rotating movement, wherein the crushing member crushes the stone material by the rotating movement of the rotating movement converting mechanism.

7 . The electrically-driven stone material crushing tool as described claim 1 , wherein a disposition of at least one of the first position and the second position is changeable.

8 . The electrically-driven stone material crushing tool as described in claim 1 , wherein a planetary gear deceleration mechanism is disposed to intervene between the output shaft and the motion converting mechanism.

9 . The electrically-driven stone material crushing tool as described in claim 1 , further comprising a handle to be held by a user and a battery to drive the motor, wherein the battery is disposed in a handle adjacent region and the handle concurrently serves as a battery guard.
