An air filter assembly has a fan, pre-filter, a main filter, and a control circuit which generates various signals to the user as to when the pre-filter and the main filter should be replaced. The control circuit detects when the pre-filter should be replaced from two conditions: a first pre-filter replacement condition based decreased air flow, and a second pre-filter replacement condition based on cumulative operating time. The control circuit detects when the main filter should be replaced based on a formula containing a number of the occurrences of the first pre-filter replacement condition and a number of occurrences of the second pre-filter replacement condition. The control circuit also detects a main filter replacement condition based on cumulative operating time of main filter. The main filter can have a fuse that is blown when the main filter should be replaced.
A solder handling temperature controller comprises a body (10) of the solder handling temperature controller, a rotating shaft (77) housed in the body (10) and adapted to be rotatable about its axis, a set temperature changing means (75) adapted to change a set temperature according to a rotation angle of the rotating shaft (77), a rotary knob (20) supported by the body (10) in a rotatable manner relative to the rotating shaft (77), and a temperature lock key (40) adapted to be selectively insertable into and withdrawable from the body (10) in a position coaxial with the rotating shaft (77) and the knob (20), and, in an inserted state thereof, to mechanically couple the rotating shaft (77) and the knob (20) together to allow them to be interlockingly rotated, wherein, when the temperature lock key (40) is withdrawn from the body (10), the coupling between the rotating shaft (77) and the knob (20) is released to prohibit the change of the set temperature by the rotation of the knob (20).
A fan assembly is adjustable between two suction modes by alternating the position of the fan assembly on a flat surface, such as a table top. The fan assembly has two separate suction openings, one smaller than the other, which are selectively sealed by the flat surface. The suction openings are bounded by planar edges of an air guide that protrudes outward from a fan casing of the assembly. In one position, a first suction opening is unobstructed by the flat surface while the second suction opening is either partially obstructed or substantially sealed by the flat surface. In another position, the second suction opening is unobstructed by the flat surface while the first suction opening is substantially sealed by the flat surface.
A soldering iron system includes a power assembly that provides power to an induction heater at a variable voltage and a variable frequency. A control assembly adjusts the temperature of the heater in accordance with signals from a current detector coupled to the induction heater and a selection made by the user on an operating level selector.
A high-frequency induction heating system for a soldering iron includes a power assembly capable of supplying power with various voltages and frequencies. A control assembly supplies power to a coil with voltages including the voltage range within which the heating member reaches the Curie point and with frequencies. The temperature of the heating member is controlled by signals sent from a current detector connected to the heating member.
A soldering device includes a tip member and a temperature sensor embedded within the tip member by a buckled copper pipe that is thermally conductive. A soldering device includes a tip member and a temperature sensor embedded within the tip portion by application of a crimping force that deforms the tip portion onto the temperature sensor. A soldering device includes a tip member, a heater member, and a thermally conductive wedge that is pushed into a gap between the tip member and the heater member. A soldering device includes a tip cartridge carried by a handle assembly that includes an o-ring and an o-ring cover that keeps the o-ring from falling off of the handle assembly. The o-ring cover includes a hook portion that engages a catch feature of the handle housing.
