Title: Lubrication of a chainsaw using sensors to detect conditions of the saw and supplying lubrication to suit
Inventor: PELLENC ROGER
IPC: F16N7/38
Filed: 2008-02-25
Abstract: A lubrication mechanism for a chain saw (1). The chainsaw has an endless cutting chain fitted around a drive pinion and a chain guide (6) that is equipped with a guiding rail. A motor drives the cutting chain, by means of the pinion. A lubricant storage tank is connected to a pump for sending the lubricant towards the chain guide/cutting chain. Unlike the prior art chainsaws, where the pump is driven by the motor that turns the drive pinion, this pump is coupled to an electric drive motor which is independent from the main motor and powered by a battery. The same battery may drive the main motor. Sensors are able to sense the condition of the chainsaw and adjust the lubrication as needed now that the pump is not directly driven by the motor, making the lubrication tailored to the state of the machine and not determined by the main motor speed.
