[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13A chain saw with brake structure, comprising a casing 1, a motor 2, a gear box 3, a chain saw assembly 4, a brake assembly 5 and a switch 6 are arranged in the casing 1. The brake assembly 5 and the switch 6 can be connected to the gear box 3 or the casing 1, or can be assembled and connected by other connecting members. The switch serves as a master control switch and is responsible for the power supply of the motor 2. The electrical connection structure of the switch 6 and the motor 2 and the power supply is connected in the conventional manner in the art, which will not be described here. The motor 2 drives the chain saw assembly 4 to move through the gear box 3 and is powered by a battery pack. The arrangement of the motor 2, the gear box 3 and the chain saw assembly 4 adopts a conventional structure.

[0034] A brake switch assembly 7 is arranged on the casing 1. The brake switch assembly 7 comprises a brake trigger 71 which can translate left and right on the casing 1, and a brake connecting rod 72 which is rotatably connected to the brake trigger 71 and located above the switch 6. The brake connecting rod 72 is arranged in parallel with the connecting plate 51, and the connecting plate 51 is located in front of the brake connecting rod 72. The right end of the casing 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11, and the lower end of the brake trigger 71 is movably connected in the mounting groove 11 and slides left and right along the mounting groove 11, and extends into the casing 1 and is connected with the brake connecting rod 72. The right end of the brake connecting rod 72 is rotatably connected to the brake trigger 71, and the left end has a contact push surface 721. When the contact push surface 721 acts on the brake connecting rod 72 and contacts the contact block 83, the contact push surface 721 is pushed by the contact block 83 to make the brake connecting rod 72 move. The right end of the brake connecting rod 72 is rotatably connected to the brake trigger, so that the brake connecting rod 72 has a rotation angle. The brake trigger 71 can translate on the casing 1, and the brake trigger 71 translates right to drive the brake connecting rod 72 to move synchronously, so that the contact push surface 721 is separated from the contact block 83, and at this time the switch trigger assembly 8 no longer has the function of switch. Conversely, when the brake trigger 71 moves left, the contact block 83 contacts the contact push surface 721, and the switch trigger assembly 8 has the function of switch.

[0035] The brake assembly 5 comprises a connecting plate 51 which is rotatably connected to the gear box 3. The right end of the connecting plate 51 is connected to the gear box 3 by a spring 52, and the left end of the connecting plate 51 has a sliding groove 511. The brake steel belt 53 is connected to the left end of the connecting plate 51. The connecting column 722 of the left end of the brake connecting rod 72 is movably connected in the sliding groove 511. The spring 52 is always in tension, constantly providing tension to the right end of the connecting plate 51, so that the connecting plate 51 will deflect to the right under no external force, that is, the sliding groove 511 of the connecting plate 51 is in a state of no pressure provided by the connecting column 722, and the brake steel belt 53 is in a state of brake. When the brake connecting rod 72 moves, the force is transmitted to the connecting plate 51 through the connecting column 722, the brake connecting rod 72 rotates downward, and the connecting column 722 synchronously drives the connecting plate 51 to rotate downward, at this time the brake steel belt 53 releases the brake disc, and the brake assembly 5 is in an unlocked state.

[0036] The rear end of the casing 1 is provided with a switch trigger assembly 8. The switch trigger assembly 8 comprises a switch trigger 81 rotatably connected to the casing 1. The right end of the switch trigger 81 is connected with a contact block 83 through a transmission shaft 82. The contact block 83 is rotatably connected to the casing 1 and the gear box 3 。 When the switch trigger 81 is pressed, the switch trigger 81 is rotated upward, driving the transmission shaft 82 to push the contact block 83 to rotate downward. In the initial state, when the switch trigger 81 is pressed, the brake connecting rod 72 is pressed downward through the contact block 83, and the brake connecting rod 72 is rotated under the force. When the brake connecting rod 72 contacts the switch 6 below, the connecting plate 51 moves downward synchronously with the brake connecting rod 72, the brake steel belt 53 releases the brake disc of the gear box 3, and the gear box 3 is unlocked. At this time, the chain saw is powered on and starts to start, which is the normal starting state.

[0037] As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the gear box 3 has a brake disc 31 fixedly connected with the transmission shaft 82, and the brake steel belt 53 has a lower end sleeved outside the brake disc and an upper end connected with the connecting plate 51. The rotation of the connecting plate 51 makes the brake steel belt 53 contact or separate from the brake disc, so that the brake assembly 5 is in the braking state or the unlocking state. When the brake steel belt 53 is separated from the brake disc, the gear box 3 can normally output power to the chain saw assembly 4. When the connecting plate 51 is lifted and rotated upward, the brake steel belt 53 is lifted upward synchronously, and the lower end of the brake steel belt 53 tightly holds the brake disc, thereby braking the gear box 3.

[0038] A plurality of grooves are uniformly formed in the circumferential direction in the gear box 3, and a separation block 32 is fixedly arranged in the grooves. The separation block is located outside the lower end of the brake steel belt 53, and the outer side of the separation block 32 protrudes radially inward to block the brake steel belt 53 from contacting the inner wall of the gear box 3. In the unlocking state of the brake assembly 5, the brake steel belt 53 and the inner wall of the gear box 3 are arranged in a gap, and the brake steel belt 53 will move upward in the braking state. Because the brake steel belt 53 holds the brake disc, a large amount of heat will be generated due to friction. In order to prevent the heat generated by the brake steel belt 53 and the brake disc after moving upward from being transmitted to the gear box 3, the separation block 32 separates the brake steel belt 53 and the inner wall of the gear box 3. At the same time, ventilation grooves can be formed on the surface of the gear box 3 to achieve internal heat dissipation.

[0039] When the chain saw is in the initial state, that is, the brake trigger 71 is at the leftmost side, and the switch trigger 81 is not pressed, at this time, the contact pushing surface 721 of the brake connecting rod 72 contacts the contact block 83. The initial state is the first position, and in the first position, the left end of the brake connecting rod 72 is just above the switch 6.

[0040] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the first position, the switch trigger 81 is pressed, the switch trigger 81 drives the brake link 72 to rotate downward through the contact block 83, at this time the brake link 72 will touch the contact on the switch 6, the switch 6 is opened, the chain saw starts to start. At this time, the connecting column 722 is located on the left side of the sliding groove 511, the brake link 72 drives the sliding groove 511 to move downward through the connecting column 722, so that the connecting plate 51 is driven by the brake link 72 to move downward synchronously, the brake steel belt 53 is separated from the brake disc, the brake disc is in the unlocked state, the gear box 3 can rotate normally, at this time the motor drives the chain saw to work normally through the gear box 3. As shown in Figure 5 And Figure 6 As shown, the opposite is also true, the switch trigger 81 is released, the contact opposite loses the pressure of the contact block 83, the connecting plate 51 is pulled back to the original position under the action of the spring 52, the connecting plate 51 synchronously reversely drives the brake link 72 to reset, the switch 6 is disconnected, and the brake disc is locked again.

[0041] As shown in Figures 7 to 9 Suppose that the chain saw needs to be braked in an emergency during normal operation, at this time the brake trigger 71 is pushed to move to the right, the brake link 72 moves to the right synchronously, the contact push surface 721 of the brake link 72 is separated from the contact block 83, at this time it is the second position, the connecting column 722 is located on the right side of the sliding groove 511. In this state, because the contact push surface 721 is separated from the contact block 83, the contact block 83 no longer provides pressure to the contact push surface 721, the connecting plate 51 is pulled back to the original position under the action of the spring 52, the connecting plate 51 synchronously reversely drives the brake link to rotate and reset. At the same time, because the brake link 72 is translated by the brake trigger 71, the brake link 72 is also staggered with the switch 6 in the vertical direction. Therefore, in the second position, the brake link 72 and the switch 6 do not overlap in any part in the horizontal and vertical directions, the switch 6 is disconnected, the brake assembly 5 is braked again, the chain saw is stopped and braked, and the state is maintained until it is completely stopped. In the second state, because the brake link 72 is separated from the switch 6 and the contact block 83, no matter how the switch trigger 81 is pressed, the switch 6 will not be opened again, in this state, the chain saw cannot be started by mistake, only when the switch trigger 81 is released and the brake trigger 71 is moved to the left to reset to the first position, the chain saw can be started again. Therefore, the second position is equivalent to the forced closing state of the chain saw, and the chain saw cannot be started by any operation. Further, even if the switch 6 fails in this case, the brake assembly 5 can still brake in an emergency, which improves the personal safety of the operator, gives the operator time to remove the battery, and effectively ensures the safety of the operator.

[0042] The brake plate machine drives the brake link 72 to translate so that the brake link 72 is located in the second position separated from the switch trigger assembly 8, in the second position, the brake link 72 is separated from the switch 6 and releases the brake assembly 5, so that the brake assembly 5 is braked and the switch 6 is in the closed state that cannot be started.

[0043] Different from the prior art, the chain saw with the brake structure can normally turn off and brake the chain saw through the switch trigger assembly in the starting state of the chain saw, and can also turn off and brake the chain saw through the brake trigger, and the double-switch structure is safe and reliable in use.

[0044] The above description of the present application and its embodiments is illustrative only, and is not restrictive, and the embodiments shown in the drawings are only one of the embodiments of the present application, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person of ordinary skill in the art is inspired thereby, without departing from the spirit of the present application, similar structural modes and embodiments can be designed without creativity, and all of them shall belong to the protection scope of the present application.
