Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of field vegetation survey devices, specifically a mechanical nail gun with automatic numbering. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetation field surveys are a fundamental task for scientific research in agriculture, forestry, ecology, and other industries. To facilitate the inspection, relocation, and remeasurement of vegetation in the field, it is necessary to mark each surveyed object with a number. For example, marking each tree in the field with a number is a traditional method. Before conducting a field survey, blank number plates (referred to as number 0) are numbered indoors. The numbered plates (referred to as plate A) are then uniformly arranged in numerical order so that field personnel can nail the plates to trees using nails or a mechanical nail gun in that order.

[0003] Traditional methods of marking license plates require prior numbering and sequencing of the plates before nailing them to the survey subjects. Therefore, traditional methods suffer from drawbacks such as long preparation times and the potential for confusion in the plate sequence. To address these issues, a mechanical nail gun with automatic numbering is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a mechanical nail gun with automatic numbering. It only requires carrying a mechanical nail gun with automatic numbering and blank license plates to complete the automatic numbering and nail dispensing actions simultaneously. This eliminates the steps of initial numbering of license plates and sorting them according to number order in the traditional method, saving a lot of time and improving the efficiency of marking license plates.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a mechanical nail gun with automatic numbering, comprising a gun housing, a shell fixedly disposed on the left side of the gun housing, and an ink cartridge fixedly disposed within the shell. An mounting plate is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the shell and at the bottom of the ink cartridge. An auxiliary mechanism arranged in a rectangular array is disposed at the bottom of the mounting plate. A stamp is disposed at the bottom of the auxiliary mechanism. An impact seat is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the gun housing. An impact rod is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the impact seat. A connecting shaft extending into the shell is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the impact rod. The auxiliary mechanism includes: A limiting seat is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate. A limiting groove is opened at the bottom of the limiting seat. A limiting block and a limiting rod are fitted on the inner wall of the limiting groove. The limiting rod and the limiting block are fixedly connected on the side that is close to each other. The bottom of the limiting rod extends to the bottom of the limiting seat. The bottom of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the stamp. The limiting rod near the impact rod is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft away from the impact rod. A connecting mechanism is provided on the side wall of the limiting rod.

[0006] Furthermore, the auxiliary mechanism also includes: The first spring is sleeved on the side wall of the limiting rod and located at the bottom of the limiting block. It is used to provide elastic support for the limiting block. The side wall of the limiting block is in contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove. The diameter of the side wall of the limiting rod is smaller than the diameter of the side wall of the limiting block, so that the limiting rod is limited by the limiting block.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes: A connecting ring is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the limiting rod located at the bottom of the limiting seat. A first connecting plate and a second connecting plate are fixedly provided on the side of the adjacent connecting rings that are close to each other. The lower end of the side of the first connecting plate away from the connecting ring protrudes outward to form a clamping plate structure. The bottom of the side of the second connecting plate away from the connecting ring is recessed to the top to form a groove structure that matches the clamping plate structure. A screw is threaded to the front of the second connecting plate, passes through the first connecting plate, and extends to the opposite side of the second connecting plate to fix the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the first connecting plate has a first through hole for mounting the screw on its front side, and the second connecting plate has a screw hole adapted to the screw on its front side. A first through groove is provided on the front of the housing at a horizontal position with respect to the screw.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the ink cartridge is provided with a rectangular array of drain ends, and each drain end of the ink cartridge is fixedly provided with a conduit. The conduit passes through the limiting seat and the limiting rod and is connected to the stamp for conveying ink into the stamp. A valve body is provided on the side wall of the conduit. The conduit is designed as a flexible tube and is designed to allow for movement of the stamp. A second through groove is provided on the back of the housing at a position horizontal to the valve body.

[0010] Furthermore, a third through groove is provided on the side of the housing and the gun shell that are close to each other, for providing space for the connecting shaft to move with the impact rod; The top of the limiting seat, limiting block, and limiting rod are all provided with a second through hole for the conduit.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the impact seat is concave, and a second spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the impact seat; A stop plate is fixedly provided on the upper end of the inner wall of the gun casing, and a bolt extending to the inner side of the stop plate is threadedly connected to the top of the stop plate for compressing the second spring.

[0012] Furthermore, a hinge shaft is rotatably provided at the middle of the inner wall of the gun shell, and a grip bar extending to the outside of the gun shell is fixedly provided on the side wall of the hinge shaft. A torsion spring is sleeved on the side wall of the hinge shaft and inside the grip bar. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gun shell, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the end of the grip bar away from the hinge shaft. A lever is hinged on the side of the grip bar near the impact seat, which is used to drive the limiting seat to squeeze the second spring to move in the opposite direction when the grip bar is pressed. The bottom inner wall of the gun casing is provided with nail channels.

[0013] This invention provides a mechanical nail gun with automatic numbering. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. This invention fixes the connecting shaft to the striking rod, thereby moving the stamp during the nailing process to automatically nail and number blank plates simultaneously, thus improving the efficiency of vegetation labeling surveys and facilitating the adjustment of the number of numbers on blank plates according to actual numbering requirements.

[0014] 2. The present invention facilitates the connection of adjacent limiting rods through a connecting mechanism, thereby making it easy to adjust the number of stamps moved by the rotating rod and connecting shaft. Furthermore, since the lower end of the side of the first connecting plate away from the connecting ring protrudes outward to form a clamping plate structure, and the bottom of the side of the second connecting plate away from the connecting ring is recessed towards the top to form a groove structure that matches the clamping plate structure, the stamps on the side closer to the gripping rod will not cause the stamps relatively farther away from the gripping rod to move downward when they move downward. This facilitates connection, and the auxiliary mechanism keeps the disconnected stamps within the housing, without affecting the actual numbering and use. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 A mechanical nail gun with automatic numbering includes a gun housing 1, a housing 2 fixedly disposed on the left side of the gun housing 1, and an ink cartridge 7 fixedly disposed inside the housing 2. A mounting plate 16 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the housing 2 and at the bottom of the ink cartridge 7. An auxiliary mechanism 9 arranged in a rectangular array is disposed at the bottom of the mounting plate 16. A stamp 18 is disposed at the bottom of the auxiliary mechanism 9. An impact seat 10 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the gun housing 1. An impact rod 11 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the impact seat 10. A connecting shaft 17 extending into the housing 2 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the impact rod 11. The auxiliary mechanism 9 includes: The limiting seat 93 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 16. The bottom of the limiting seat 93 has a limiting groove 92. The inner wall of the limiting groove 92 is fitted with a limiting block 91 and a limiting rod 95. The limiting rod 95 and the limiting block 91 are fixedly connected on the side that is close to each other. The bottom of the limiting rod 95 extends to the bottom of the limiting seat 93. The bottom of the limiting rod 95 is fixedly connected to the top of the stamp 18. The limiting rod 95 near the impact rod 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft 17 away from the impact rod 11. The side wall of the limiting rod 95 is provided with a connecting mechanism 8.

[0019] Auxiliary mechanism 9 also includes: The first spring 94 is sleeved on the side wall of the limiting rod 95 and located at the bottom of the limiting block 91. It is used to provide elastic support for the limiting block 91. The side wall of the limiting block 91 is in contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove 92. The diameter of the side wall of the limiting rod 95 is smaller than the diameter of the side wall of the limiting block 91, so that the limiting rod 95 is limited by the limiting block 91.

[0020] In specific implementation, when the impact rod 11 drives the connecting shaft 17 to move downward, the connecting shaft 17 drives the limiting rod 95 and the limiting block 91 to stretch the first spring 94 and move downward through the connecting mechanism 8, thereby driving the stamp 18 to move downward so as to automatically number the blank license plate. When the designated limit rod 95 is disconnected through the connecting mechanism 8, the first spring 94 causes the seal 18 to be located inside the housing 2, so as to avoid affecting the numbering and use of other seals 18. The limiting block 91 limits the limiting rod 95, preventing the limiting rod 95 from disengaging from the limiting seat 93 and improving its movement stability.

[0021] Please see Figure 7 The connecting mechanism 8 includes: A connecting ring 81 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the side wall of the limiting rod 95 located at the bottom of the limiting seat 93. A first connecting plate 82 and a second connecting plate 83 are respectively fixed on the side of the adjacent connecting rings 81 that are close to each other. The lower end of the side of the first connecting plate 82 away from the connecting ring 81 protrudes outward to form a clamping plate structure. The bottom of the side of the second connecting plate 83 away from the connecting ring 81 is recessed to the top to form a groove structure that matches the clamping plate structure. The screw 84 is threaded to the front of the second connecting plate 83, and extends through the first connection and into the interior of the opposite side of the second connecting plate 83 to fix the first connecting plate 82 and the second connecting plate 83.

[0022] The front side of the first connecting plate 82 is provided with a first through hole for mounting the screw 84, and the front side of the second connecting plate 83 is provided with a screw hole that matches the screw 84. A first through groove is provided on the front of the housing 2 at a horizontal position with the screw 84.

[0023] In practical implementation, the screw 84 is screwed into the screw hole along the first through groove and passes through the first through hole to connect and fix the connecting plate and the second connecting plate 83, thereby connecting the adjacent limiting rods 95 to adjust the number of numbered stamps 18. This allows for adjustment according to actual numbering requirements. Since the lower end of the side of the first connecting plate 82 away from the connecting ring 81 protrudes outward to form a clamping plate structure, and the bottom of the side of the second connecting plate 83 away from the connecting ring 81 is recessed towards the top to form a groove structure that matches the clamping plate structure, the stamps 18 on the side closer to the grip 4 will not move downward when they move downward, facilitating connection without affecting actual numbering use.

[0024] Please see Figure 4The bottom of the ink cartridge 7 is provided with a rectangular array of drain ends, and each drain end of the ink cartridge 7 is fixedly provided with a conduit 15. The conduit 15 passes through the limiting seat 93 and the limiting rod 95 and is connected to the stamp 18 for conveying ink into the stamp 18. A valve body 14 is provided on the side wall of the conduit 15. The conduit 15 is designed as a flexible tube and is provided with sufficient length to move with the stamp 18; A second through groove is provided on the back of the housing 2 at a position horizontal to the valve body 14, which facilitates the rotation of the valve body 14 and thus facilitates actual operation.

[0025] In practical implementation, the conduit 15 facilitates the delivery of ink from ink cartridge 7 to stamp 18, thus facilitating actual numbering and use. The valve body 14 facilitates actual control. Since the conduit 15 is designed as a flexible hose and is reserved with the length to move with stamp 18, the stability of ink delivery is avoided due to the movement of stamp 18.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A third through groove is provided on the side of the housing 2 and the gun housing 1 that are close to each other, for sleeved connecting shaft 17, to provide space for connecting shaft 17 to move with impact rod 11, so that connecting shaft 17 can be moved while impact rod 11 moves. The top of the limiting seat 93, the limiting block 91 and the limiting rod 95 are all provided with a second through hole for the conduit 15 to be sleeved, so that the conduit 15 can transport ink in the limiting rod 95, the limiting block 91 and the limiting seat 93.

[0027] The top of the impact seat 10 is concave, and the inner wall of the impact seat 10 is fixedly provided with a second spring 5; A stop plate is fixedly provided on the upper end of the inner wall of the gun casing 1. A bolt 6 extending to the inner side of the stop plate is threadedly connected to the top of the stop plate. This bolt is used to compress the second spring 5. By rotating the bolt 6, the degree of compression of the second spring 5 by the bolt 6 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the elastic potential energy of the second spring 5 on the impact rod 11, which makes it easier to adjust the force of the impact rod 11 when it hits the nail.

[0028] Please see Figure 2 A hinge shaft is rotatably provided at the middle of the inner wall of the gun case 1. A grip bar 4 extending to the outside of the gun case 1 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the hinge shaft. A torsion spring 3 is sleeved on the side wall of the hinge shaft and inside the grip bar 4. One end of the torsion spring 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gun case 1, and the other end of the torsion spring 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the end of the grip bar 4 away from the hinge shaft. A lever 12 is hinged on the side of the grip bar 4 near the impact seat 10. When the grip bar 4 is pressed, the lever 12 drives the limiting seat 93 to squeeze the second spring 5 to move in the opposite direction. The bottom inner wall of the gun casing 1 is provided with a nail track 13.

[0029] In practice, the staff presses the grip lever 4, which squeezes the torsion spring 3 and drives the lever 12 to rotate. During the rotation, the lever 12 drives the impact seat 10 to squeeze the second spring 5 to move vertically. When the grip lever 4 can no longer be pressed, the grip lever 4 is released. At this time, under the action of the second spring 5, the impact seat 10 and the impact lever 11 move downward, thereby knocking out the nail in the nail channel 13 so as to fix the blank license plate in the designated position through the nail. Since the lever 12 is hinged to the impact seat 10, when the grip 4 is pressed and the lever 12 is rotated upward, the lever 12 drives the impact seat 10 to move upward. When the grip 4 is released and the grip 4 is reset under the action of the torsion spring 3, the lever 12 is squeezed by the impact seat 10 and rotates to the side closer to the grip 4, so that the lever 12 is located at the opening at the middle of the impact seat 10, which is convenient for the next impact nail. The nail track 13 is used to place the nail and press the nail against the bottom of the rotating rod. The nailing part in this invention is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] In practice, when the present invention is implemented, the operator presses the grip lever 4, which drives the lever 12 to rotate. During the rotation, the lever 12 drives the impact seat 10 to squeeze the second spring 5 and move vertically. When the grip lever 4 can no longer be pressed, it is released. At this time, under the action of the second spring 5, the impact seat 10 and the impact lever 11 move downward, thereby impacting and pushing out the nail in the nail track 13, so as to fix the blank number plate in the designated position by the nail. While the impact lever 11 moves downward, it drives the connecting shaft 17 to move downward, so that the connecting shaft 17 drives the stamp 18 to move downward through the auxiliary mechanism 9 and the connecting mechanism 8, so that the stamp 18 marks the blank number plate with ink, thereby achieving the simultaneous completion of automatic numbering and nail dispensing, improving the efficiency of vegetation marking. The connecting mechanism 8 facilitates connection to adjacent auxiliary mechanisms 9, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the number of stamps 18 linked together. This allows for adjustments based on actual usage of the numbering system and ensures that unlinked stamps 18 remain within the housing 2, preventing interference with the numbering of other stamps 18. During operation, the screw 84 is screwed into the screw hole along the first through slot and passes through the first through hole to connect and fix the connecting plate and the second connecting plate 83, thereby connecting adjacent limiting rods 95. This allows for adjustment of the number of stamps 18 used for numbering, facilitating adjustments based on actual numbering requirements. Furthermore, the lower end of the first connecting plate 82, away from the connecting ring 81, protrudes outward to form a clamping structure. The bottom of the second connecting plate 83, away from the connecting ring 81, is recessed towards the top, forming a groove structure that matches the clamping structure. This prevents stamps 18 closer to the gripping rod 4 from moving downward when they move downward, ensuring easy connection without affecting actual numbering usage.
