Detailed Implementation

[0052] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present application and not all structures or steps.

[0053] Figure 1 The nail gun 10 shown is a specific embodiment of this application. In this specification, the directions front, back, left, right, up, and down are described as follows: Figure 1 The directions shown are as follows. Specifically, when the user operates the nail gun 10, the direction in which the nails are fired is defined as forward, and the extension direction of the magazine assembly is defined as up and down.

[0054] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the nail gun 10 includes: a housing 11, a power output assembly 12, a cylinder assembly 13, a magazine assembly 14, and a firing assembly 15.

[0055] The housing 11 has a first receiving space 111 and a second receiving space 112. The cylinder assembly 13 is disposed in the first receiving space 111, and the power output assembly 12 is disposed in the second receiving space 112. The housing 11 also has a handle 113 for the user to grip. One end of the handle 113 is connected to a power interface for connecting to a DC or AC power source, such as a DC battery pack (not shown). A main switch 114 is provided on the handle 113, which allows the user to control the start and stop of the nail gun 100. In this embodiment, the housing 11 also has a mounting base 115 for mounting the cylinder assembly 13, and the mounting base 115 is disposed at the other end of the handle 113 connected to the power interface.

[0056] The power output assembly 12 includes a prime mover 121 and a transmission device 122. In this embodiment, the prime mover 121 is specifically an electric motor. The transmission device 122 is disposed between the prime mover 121 and the cylinder assembly 13. The transmission device 122 may specifically include a reduction gear assembly and a connecting rod assembly. The reduction gear assembly may specifically include a multi-stage planetary gear train, and the connecting rod assembly includes a drive rod 1221 for outputting power.

[0057] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, cylinder assembly 13 is disposed within first receiving space 111, and cylinder assembly 13 includes a first cylinder 131 and a second cylinder 132. A portion or all of the second cylinder 132 is disposed within the first cylinder 131. The first cylinder 131 includes a first cylinder cavity 1310 extending along a first axis 101, and a portion or all of the second cylinder 132 is disposed within the first cylinder cavity 1310. The second cylinder 132 includes a second cylinder cavity 1320 extending along a second axis 102, the first axis 101 and the second axis 102 being parallel. In some embodiments, cylinder assembly 13 further includes a connecting member 133 for connecting the first cylinder cavity 1310 and the second cylinder cavity 1320, allowing gas from the first cylinder cavity 1310 to enter the second cylinder cavity 1320 through the connecting member 133. The first cylinder 131 includes a first end 1311 and a second end 1312 disposed opposite to each other. The first end 1311 is provided with a connecting member 133, and the second end 1312 is provided with a first cylinder opening 1313.

[0058] The magazine assembly 14 is positioned along the third axis 103, which is perpendicular to the first axis 101. The magazine assembly 14 is used to receive the nail and connect to the firing assembly 15.

[0059] The firing assembly 15 is disposed within the cylinder assembly 13. The firing assembly 15 includes a first piston 151, a second piston 152, and a firing pin 153. Part or all of the first piston 151 is disposed within the first cylinder chamber 1310. The second piston 152 is disposed within the second cylinder chamber 320. One end of the drive rod 1221 is connected to the first piston 151 and, under the rotation of the prime mover 121, pushes the first piston 151 to reciprocate along the first axis 101 within the first cylinder chamber 1310. The second piston 152 is capable of reciprocating along the second axis 102 within the second cylinder chamber 1320. The firing pin 153 and the second piston 152 are fixedly connected, and the second piston 152, connected to the firing pin 153, reciprocates along the second axis 102 within the second cylinder chamber 1320. When the user loads a nail into the magazine assembly 14, the second piston 152 pushes the firing pin 153 to fire the nail. The firing assembly 15 also includes an iron plate 154 and a magnet 155. The iron plate 154 is disposed on the side of the second piston 152 facing the connecting member 133, and the magnet 155 is disposed on the side of the connecting member 133 facing the second piston 152. The iron plate 154 and the magnet 155 attract each other to fix the second piston 152. In other embodiments, the magnet 155 may be disposed on the side of the second piston 152 facing the connecting member 133, and the iron plate 154 may be disposed on the side of the connecting member 133 facing the second piston 152.

[0060] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, this application provides an embodiment of a cylinder assembly. When the drive rod 1221 pushes the first piston 151 to move from front to back within the first cylinder chamber 1310 along the direction of the first axis 101, the gas in the first cylinder chamber 1310 enters the second cylinder chamber 1320 through the connecting member 133. As the first piston 151 gradually approaches the connecting member 133, the air pressure on the second piston 152 gradually increases. When the air pressure on the second piston 152 reaches a predetermined threshold, the second piston 152 is released from the attraction of the magnet 155 and moves from back to front under the action of air pressure, thereby pushing the firing pin 153 forward to strike the nail.

[0061] The surface of the second cylinder 132 may be provided with a second cylinder bore 1321. When the second piston 152 moves forward under the push of air pressure until it passes the second cylinder bore 1321, gas can leave the second cylinder cavity 1320 through the second cylinder bore 1321. After the second piston 152 passes the second cylinder bore 1321, the first piston 151 can move from back to front under the push of the drive rod 1221, while the second piston 152 is driven to move from front to back by air pressure. The surface of the first cylinder 131 may be provided with a first cylinder bore 1314. When the first piston 151 passes the first cylinder bore 1311, external gas can enter the first cylinder cavity 1310 through the first cylinder bore 1314. After external gas enters the first cylinder chamber 1310, the first piston 151 can move from front to back within the first cylinder chamber 1310 under the push of the drive rod 1221. At the same time, the air pressure pushes the second piston 152 to break away from the attraction of the magnet 155 and move from back to front, thereby pushing the firing pin 153 forward to strike the nail. Through the above cycle, the nail gun 10 can continuously fire nails.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the cylinder assembly 13 achieves gas flow by drilling holes in the surface of the first cylinder 131. This solution requires drilling holes in the formed cylinder, which not only reduces the structural strength of the cylinder but also increases the cost, and the holes may become clogged during user operation.

[0063] This application provides several technical solutions that can solve the technical problems existing in the first cylinder 131 in the first embodiment described above. These solutions eliminate the need for drilling holes in the first cylinder 131, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the cylinder, saving drilling costs, and preventing the possibility of hole blockage.

[0064] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, as a second embodiment of the cylinder assembly, this application provides a combination of a cylinder assembly 23 and a firing assembly 25. For ease of description, this embodiment mainly describes the differences from the previous embodiment, and components that are the same as or similar to those in the above embodiment are referred to by the same reference numerals. Parts in the above embodiments that are compatible with this embodiment can be applied to this embodiment.

[0065] The cylinder assembly 23 is mounted on the mounting base 215, and the striking pin 253 is partially disposed within the cylinder assembly 23. The cylinder assembly 23 includes a first cylinder 231 and a second cylinder 232. A portion of the second cylinder 232 is disposed within the first cylinder 231, and the second cylinder 232 also includes a protruding portion 2321 protruding from the first cylinder cavity 2310. The first receiving space includes a third receiving space 2113 that receives the protruding portion 2321. The third receiving space 2113 is a part of the first receiving space, and the third receiving space 2113 is connected to the first cylinder cavity 2310 through the first cylinder opening 2313, and the third receiving space 2113 is open to the outside atmosphere. At least a portion of the first piston 251 can reciprocate within the first cylinder cavity 2310 and the third receiving space 2113.

[0066] The first piston 251 is provided with an intake passage 2510, through which external gas from outside the cylinder assembly 23 can enter the first cylinder cavity 2310. In some embodiments, the first piston 251 may be provided with two or more intake passages 2510, and all intake passages 2510 may be symmetrically arranged around the second cylinder 232, that is, symmetrically arranged around the second axis.

[0067] The intake passage 2510 includes an intake port 2511 and an exhaust port 2512. The intake port 2511 is located near the second end 2312 of the first cylinder 231, and the exhaust port 2512 is also located near the second end 2312. Figure 8 As shown, the air inlet 2511 is disposed on the side wall surface of the first piston 251, which refers to the two side walls of the first piston 251 along the direction perpendicular to the first axis 201. External gas can enter the intake passage 2510 through the air inlet 2511. Gas in the intake passage 2510 can exit the intake passage 2510 through the air outlet 2512 and enter the first cylinder chamber 2310. When the first piston 251 reciprocates within the first cylinder chamber 2310 along the direction of the first axis 201, the air inlet 2511 can enter the third receiving space 2113. At this time, gas in the third receiving space 2113 enters the intake passage 2510 through the air inlet 2511 and enters the first cylinder chamber 2310 through the air outlet 2512. When the first piston 251 leaves the third receiving space 2113 and enters the first cylinder cavity 2310, the air inlet 2511 can be covered and closed by the inner wall of the first cylinder 231, thereby preventing gas from entering the intake passage 2510 through the air inlet 2511. In some embodiments, the intake passage 2510 is specifically configured as an L-shaped structure, with the air inlet 2511 facing the inner wall of the first cylinder 231, that is, the orientation of the air inlet 2511 is away from the first axis 201, and the air outlet 2512 facing the connecting member 233.

[0068] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the first cylinder 231 is 50 mm to 100 mm, preferably 55 mm, 60 mm, 90 mm, 93 mm, or 95 mm. In some embodiments, the length of the first cylinder 231 is 80 mm to 120 mm, preferably 82 mm, 85 mm, 90 mm, 111 mm, or 115 mm.

[0069] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the second cylinder 232 is 20 mm to 50 mm, preferably 23 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 43 mm, or 45 mm. In some embodiments, the length of the second cylinder 232 is 80 mm to 150 mm, preferably 85 mm, 90 mm, 96 mm, 120 mm, 132 mm, or 140 mm.

[0070] like Figures 9 to 10 As shown, as an optional third embodiment of the cylinder assembly, this application provides a combination of a cylinder assembly 33 and a firing assembly 35. For ease of description, this embodiment mainly describes the differences from the previous embodiment, and components that are the same as or similar to those in the above embodiments are referred to by the same reference numerals. Parts in the above embodiments that are compatible with this embodiment can also be applied to this embodiment.

[0071] The cylinder assembly 33 includes a first cylinder 331, a second cylinder 332, a connecting member 333, and a limiting member 334. The limiting member 334 is disposed at the second end 3312 of the first cylinder 331, and the limiting member 334 can block part of the opening 2313 of the first cylinder, thereby preventing the first piston 351 from partially or completely leaving the first cylinder cavity 3310. The limiting member 334 is provided with a vent hole 3340, thereby allowing gas in the third receiving space 3113 to enter the first cylinder cavity 3310 through the vent hole 3340.

[0072] The first piston 351 includes a rod seal 3514. The intake passage 3510 also includes a retaining groove 3513, which is capable of accommodating at least a portion of the rod seal 3514, and the retaining groove 3513 is disposed between the intake port 3511 and the outlet port 3512.

[0073] The firing assembly 35 also includes an insert 356, which prevents gas from entering the first cylinder cavity 3310 from the exhaust port 3512. A first insertion end 3561 of the insert 356 connects to a connecting member 333; specifically, the first insertion end 3561 can be configured to insert into the connecting member 333. A second insertion end 3562 of the insert 356 can be inserted into the intake passage 3510 from the exhaust port 3512, thereby blocking the intake passage 3510 and preventing gas from entering the first cylinder cavity 3310 from the exhaust port 3512. The insert 356 also includes a middle portion 3563, which is disposed between the first insertion end 3561 and the second insertion end 3562. The middle portion 3563 is configured to fit tightly against the insert rod seal 3514 to prevent gas from entering the first cylinder cavity 3310 from the intake passage 3510.

[0074] In some embodiments, the diameter of the second insertion end 3562 is smaller than the diameter of the middle portion 3563, and the second insertion end 3562 and the insert rod seal 3514 cannot be tightly fitted, thereby allowing gas to enter the first cylinder cavity 3310 from the intake passage 3510. The diameter of the exhaust port 3512 can be greater than or equal to the diameter of the middle portion 3563. When the first piston 351 reciprocates within the first cylinder cavity 3310 along the direction of the first axis 301, the insertion member 356, which is fixedly connected to the connecting member 333, also moves relative to the insert rod seal 3514. When the second insertion end 3562 is inserted into the insert rod seal 3514, a gap that allows gas to pass through can be formed between the second insertion end 3562 and the insert rod seal 3514. When the middle portion 3563 is inserted into the insert rod seal 3514, the middle portion 3563 and the insert rod seal 3514 are tightly fitted, making it difficult for gas to pass through.

[0075] like Figures 11 to 12 As shown, as an optional fourth embodiment of the cylinder assembly, this application provides a combination of a cylinder assembly 43 and a firing assembly 45. For ease of description, this embodiment mainly describes the differences from the previous embodiment, and components that are the same as or similar to those in the above embodiments are referred to by the same reference numerals. Parts in the above embodiments that are compatible with this embodiment can be applied to this embodiment.

[0076] The firing assembly 45 includes a valve assembly 457 disposed within the intake passage 4510. The valve assembly 457 allows and prevents gas from entering the first cylinder chamber 4310 from the intake passage 4510. Specifically, when the first piston 451 moves from rear to front within the first cylinder chamber 4310 along the first axis 401 to a first preset position (not shown in the figure), the valve assembly 457 opens, allowing gas to enter the first cylinder chamber 4310 from the intake passage 4510. When the first piston 451 moves from a second preset position (not shown in the figure) within the first cylinder chamber 4310 from front to back along the first axis 401, the valve assembly 457 closes, preventing gas from entering the first cylinder chamber 4310 from the intake passage 4510.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, the valve assembly 457 includes a valve body 4571, an elastic element 4572, and a switching element 4573. The elastic element 4572 is disposed within the valve body 4571 and abuts against the first switching end 4573a of the switching element 4573. Specifically, the elastic element 4572 can be a spring. The first switching end 4573a of the switching element 4573 is disposed within the valve body 4571, and the second switching end 4573b is fixedly connected to the limiting member 334. The valve body 4571 includes a first opening 4571a and a second opening 4571b. The first opening 4571a is near the air inlet 4511, and the second opening 4571b is near the air outlet 4512. The first switching end 4573a can close the first opening 4571a under the pressure of the elastic element 4572 to prevent gas from entering the valve body 4571 from the first opening 4571a.

[0078] like Figures 13 to 15 As shown, as an optional fifth embodiment of the cylinder assembly, this application provides a combination of a cylinder assembly 53 and a firing assembly 55. For ease of description, this embodiment mainly describes the differences from the previous embodiment, and components that are the same as or similar to those in the above embodiments are referred to by the same reference numerals. Parts in the above embodiments that are compatible with this embodiment can be applied to this embodiment.

[0079] The firing assembly 55 includes a first seal 558 and a second seal 559. The first seal 558 surrounds the outer wall of the second cylinder 532, with its outer side conforming to the first piston 551 and its inner side conforming to a portion of the outer wall of the second cylinder 532. The first piston 551 can move the first seal 558 across the outer wall surface of the second cylinder 532. Understandably, the outer wall surface for sliding of the first piston 551 and the first seal 558 is a cylindrical outer wall of the second cylinder 532 along its length. The second seal 559 surrounds the outer wall of the first piston 551, with its inner side conforming to the first piston 551 and its outer side conforming to the inner wall of the first cylinder 531. The first piston 551 can move the second seal 559 across the inner wall surface of the first cylinder 531.

[0080] The first piston 551 is provided with a first receiving groove 5518 and a second receiving groove 5519. The first receiving groove 5518 is used to receive at least a portion of the first seal 558, and the opening of the first receiving groove 5518 faces the inner wall of the first cylinder 531. The second receiving groove 5519 is used to receive at least a portion of the second seal 559, and the opening of the second receiving groove 5519 faces the outer wall of the second cylinder 532.

[0081] A groove 5321 is provided on a portion of the outer wall surface of the second cylinder 532. When the first piston 551 moves the first seal 558 to the position of the groove 5321, the presence of the groove 5321 prevents the first seal 558 from continuing to adhere tightly to the outer wall surface of the second cylinder 532. This creates an intake gap between the first piston 551 and the outer wall surface of the second cylinder 532 at the groove 5321, allowing gas to pass through. The distance between the first seal 558 and the outer wall surface of the second cylinder 532 varies. When the first seal 558 moves to a portion of the outer wall surface (in this embodiment, the groove 5321), the distance between the first seal 558 and the outer wall surface is greater than 0. When the first seal 558 moves to a portion of the outer wall surface (in this embodiment, the normal cylindrical outer wall surface), the distance between the first seal 558 and the outer wall surface is 0. Thus, when the first seal 558 moves to a portion of the outer wall surface, gas can pass through the intake gap because the distance between the first seal 558 and the outer wall surface is greater than zero. When the first seal 558 moves to a portion of the outer wall surface, the intake gap closes because the distance between the first seal 558 and the outer wall surface is zero, and the first seal 558 prevents gas from passing between the first piston 551 and the outer wall surface.

[0082] like Figure 15As shown, when the first seal 558 is located within the groove 5321, the minimum clearance between the first piston 551 and the outer wall surface of the second cylinder 532 is S1, and the distance between the first seal 558 and the outer wall surface of the second cylinder 532 is S2. In some embodiments, setting S2 to be greater than S1 can ensure that the air intake of the cylinder assembly 53 meets the requirements for continuous nail firing by the nail gun.

[0083] In some embodiments, the depth H of the groove 5321 can be from 1 mm to 5 mm. In some embodiments, at least two grooves 5321 are provided on a portion of the outer wall surface of the second cylinder 532. All grooves 5321 can be symmetrically arranged around the second axis 502.

[0084] like Figures 16 to 19 As shown, as an optional sixth embodiment of the cylinder assembly, this application provides a combination of a cylinder assembly 63 and a firing assembly 65. For ease of description, this embodiment mainly describes the differences from the previous embodiment, and components that are the same as or similar to those in the above embodiments are referred to by the same reference numerals. Parts in the above embodiments that are compatible with this embodiment can be applied to this embodiment.

[0085] In this embodiment, the first cylinder 631 includes a first rear cylinder body 6311 and a first front cylinder body 6312, wherein the inner diameter R2 of the first front cylinder body 6312 is larger than the inner diameter R1 of the first rear cylinder body 6311. The first rear cylinder body 6311 is located behind the first front cylinder body 6312. In other embodiments, the first rear cylinder body 6311 may also be located in front of the first front cylinder body 6312.

[0086] The first cylinder cavity 6310 includes a cavity of a first rear cylinder 6311 and a cavity of a first front cylinder 6312. Specifically, the outer diameter of the first front cylinder 6312 is also larger than the outer diameter of the first rear cylinder 6311, or the maximum inner diameter of the first front cylinder 6312 is larger than the minimum inner diameter of the first rear cylinder 6311. In some embodiments, the first cylinder 631 further includes a transition section (not shown in the figure) disposed in the first rear cylinder 6311 and the first front cylinder 6312.

[0087] When the first piston 651 moves the second seal 659 into the cavity of the first rear cylinder 6311, the second seal 659 fits tightly against the inner wall surface of the first rear cylinder 6311. When the first piston 651 moves the second seal 659 into the cavity of the first front cylinder 6312, the second seal 659 can no longer fit tightly against the inner wall surface of the first rear cylinder 6311. As a result, an intake gap is formed between the first piston 651 and the inner wall surface of the first rear cylinder 6311 or the first front cylinder 6312 in the cavity of the first front cylinder 6312, allowing gas to pass through the intake gap.

[0088] like Figure 19As shown, when the second seal 659 is located in the cavity of the first front cylinder 6312, the gap between the first piston 651 and the inner wall surface of the first rear cylinder 6311 is S3, and the gap distance between the second seal 659 and the inner wall surface of the first front cylinder 6312 is S4. In some embodiments, setting S4 to be greater than S3 can ensure that the air intake of the cylinder assembly 63 meets the requirements of the continuous nail gun firing nails.

[0089] In some embodiments, the inner diameters of the first rear cylinder block 6311 and the first front cylinder block 6312 differ by 0.5 mm to 15 mm, preferably by 1 mm, 2 mm, or 5 mm. In some embodiments, the inner diameter R1 of the first rear cylinder block 6311 can range from 30 mm to 150 mm, preferably 50 mm, 60 mm, or 70 mm. In some embodiments, the inner diameter R2 of the first front cylinder block 6312 can range from 32 mm to 165 mm, preferably 35 mm, 65 mm, or 75 mm.

[0090] In some embodiments, the lengths of the first rear cylinder 6311 and the first front cylinder 6312 differ by 10 mm to 50 mm. Preferably, the difference is 10 mm, 15 mm, or 30 mm. In some embodiments, the length L1 of the first rear cylinder 6311 can range from 55 mm to 80 mm. Preferably, the difference is 60 mm, 65 mm, or 70 mm. In some embodiments, the length L2 of the first front cylinder 6312 can range from 25 mm to 75 mm. Preferably, the difference is 30 mm, 4 mm, or 50 mm. Optionally, the length L2 of the first front cylinder 6312 can be equal to or similar to the length of the first piston 651.

[0091] In some embodiments, the mounting base 615 includes an air inlet 6150 through which external gas outside the cylinder assembly 63 can enter the first receiving space 611 to provide sufficient air intake for the cylinder assembly 63.

[0092] In all the above embodiments, all the sealing elements, such as the insert seal 3514, the first seal, and the second seal, can be O-rings, specifically O-rings, which are technologically mature and inexpensive. Alternatively, all the sealing elements, such as the insert seal 3514, the first seal, and the second seal, can also be X-rings, which have excellent sealing performance.

[0093] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit this application in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of this application.
