DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 As shown, the linkage mechanism of the present invention is used to be installed on an electric glue gun to drive the pull rod on the electric glue gun to apply glue, and it includes a fixed shaft 01 installed in the electric glue gun, on which a driven gear 02 and a driving gear 03 are rotatably installed through a rolling bearing, and a transmission gear 04 is also arranged between the driving gear 03 and the driven gear 02. The driving gear 03 is meshed and connected with the transmission gear 04. When the driving gear 03 rotates on the fixed shaft 01, the driving gear 04 is driven to move toward the driven gear 02 and meshed and connected with the driven gear 02. The driven gear 02, the transmission gear 04 and the driving gear 03 are caused to rotate synchronously on the fixed shaft 01. When the driving gear 03 stops rotating, the transmission gear 04 and the driven gear 02 are separated.

[0025] The driven gear 02 includes a fixing hole 05 and a coaxially arranged connecting hole 06 in the middle. A rolling bearing is fixedly installed in the fixing hole 05 by an arc-fitting method. The rolling bearing is fixedly installed on the fixed shaft 01. The driven gear 02 is thereby rotatably installed on the fixed shaft 01. A spring 07 is arranged in the connecting hole 06. The spring 07 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 01. One end of the spring 07 abuts against the rolling bearing in the fixing hole 05, and the other end abuts against the driven gear 02. After the driving gear 03 stops rotating, the transmission gear 04 moves along the fixed shaft 01 toward the driving gear 03 under the action of the spring 07, thereby separating from the driven gear 02 (such as Figure 3 shown).

[0026] The rolling bearing described in the present invention is a ball bearing or a roller bearing, preferably a roller bearing.

[0027] A mounting groove 08 is provided on one side of the transmission gear 04, and the end of the spring 07 is located in the mounting groove 08. A plurality of mounting holes 09 are evenly distributed radially on the center of the transmission gear 04, and a steel ball 10 is provided in the mounting hole 09. A slide groove 11 adapted to the steel ball 10 is provided on the outer surface of the fixed shaft 01, and a plurality of transition grooves 12 adapted to the steel ball 10 are provided on one side of the slide groove 11. One end of the transition groove 12 is connected to the slide groove 11, and the other end extends toward the driving gear 03. A plurality of transition grooves 12 are spirally distributed on the outer surface of the fixed shaft 01.

[0028] When the driving gear 03 stops rotating, the steel ball 10 on the transmission gear 04 is located in the transition groove 12. When the driving gear 03 rotates, the driving gear 03 pushes the transmission gear 04 to move toward the driven gear 02, and the steel ball 10 moves from the transition groove 12 to the slide groove 11. After the transmission gear 04 and the driven gear are meshed and connected, the transmission gear 04, the driving gear 03 and the driven gear 02 rotate synchronously, and the steel ball 10 in the transmission gear 04 moves in the slide groove 11.

[0029] Because the driving gear 03 drives the transmission gear to move along the fixed shaft 01 toward the driven gear 02 during the rotation process. As a result, the transmission gear 04 will rotate at a certain angle during the movement, and the transition groove 12 is spirally distributed on the outer surface of the fixed shaft 01. Therefore, the steel ball 10 can smoothly enter the chute 11 along the transition groove 12. Similarly, when the driving gear 03 stops rotating, the transmission gear 04 moves toward the driving gear 03 under the action of the spring 07. Since the steel ball 10 needs to return to the transition groove 12 from the chute 11 again, and since the transition groove 12 is spirally evenly distributed on the fixed shaft 01, during the movement of the transmission gear 04, the transmission gear 04 will rotate in the opposite direction at a certain angle, and will also be synchronously reversed at a certain angle through the driving gear 03. Therefore, during use, a certain angle can be reversed by an external drive source. So that the steel ball 10 can smoothly enter the transition groove 12.

[0030] When assembling the steel ball 10 , after placing the steel ball 10 in the mounting hole 09 , a top screw is threadedly connected in the mounting hole 09 to prevent the steel ball 10 from falling from the mounting hole 09 during the rotation of the transmission gear 04 .

[0031] There are several plug-in slots 13 evenly distributed along the axial direction on the transmission gear 04. The plug-in slots 13 and the above-mentioned connecting holes 06 are respectively located at the two ends of the transmission gear 04. The driving gear 03 is evenly distributed with the same number of driving posts 14 as the plug-in slots 13, and the driving posts 14 are located in the plug-in slots 13. A first push surface 15 is obliquely arranged in the plug-in slot 13, and a second push surface 16 is arranged on one side of the top of the driving post 14. The first push surface 15 and the second push surface 16 abut against each other. When the driving gear 03 rotates, the first push surface 15 and the second push surface 16 cooperate. The driving transmission gear 04 moves toward the direction of the driven gear 02 and meshes with the driven gear 02 (such as Figure 1 shown).

[0032] Therefore, when the linkage mechanism is in use, in the normal state (when the driving gear 03 is rotating), the transmission gear 04 and the driven gear 02 are separated. When the driving gear 03 starts to rotate, the second push surface 16 on the driving gear 03 and the first push surface 15 on the transmission gear 04 push the transmission gear 04 to move in the direction of the driven gear 02 and mesh with the driven gear 02. During the movement of the transmission gear 04, the steel ball 10 in the transmission gear 04 enters the slide groove 11 along the transition groove 12 on the fixed shaft 01, so that the transmission gear 04 can rotate freely along the slide groove 11. Therefore, when the driving gear 03 rotates, it can drive the transmission gear 04 to rotate around the fixed shaft 01. Since the transmission gear 04 and the driven gear 02 are meshed and connected, the driven gear 02 is driven to rotate through the transmission gear 04, so that the transmission gear 04, the driven gear 02 and the driving gear 03 rotate synchronously.

[0033] When the driving gear 03 stops rotating, the transmission gear 04 moves toward the driving gear 03 under the action of the spring 07 , so that the transmission gear 04 and the driven gear 02 are separated, and the steel ball 10 in the transmission gear 04 returns from the slide groove 11 to the transition groove 12 .

[0034] See also Figure 5-6 As shown, the present invention also provides an electric glue gun, which includes a housing 17 and a glue barrel 18 installed on one side of the housing 17. A fixing seat 19 is fixedly installed in the housing 17, and the above-mentioned linkage mechanism is fixedly installed on the fixing seat 19. A push rod 20 is slidably installed on the fixing seat 19, and a rack is provided on the push rod 20. The driven gear 02 on the linkage mechanism is meshed and connected with the rack on the push rod 20. One end of the push rod 20 extends into the glue barrel 18, and the other end extends outside the housing 17. A through hole is provided on the fixing seat 19, and the push rod 20 is located in the through hole and moves.

[0035] The fixed seat 19 is also fixedly mounted with a planetary reducer 21 and a motor 22. The output end of the motor 22 is connected to the input end of the planetary reducer 21 through a synchronous belt transmission. The fixed seat 19 is provided with a through hole for the push rod 20 to move. The output end of the planetary reducer 21 is fixedly mounted with a driving gear, which is meshed and connected with the driving gear 03 on the linkage mechanism.

[0036] When the electric glue gun is in use, the purchased glue is placed in the glue barrel 18, the motor 22 is started to drive the planetary reducer 21 to rotate, and the planetary reducer 21 rotates to drive the driving gear 03 on the linkage mechanism to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear 02 to rotate through the transmission gear 04, and the driven gear 02 thereby drives the push rod 20 to move freely in the through hole of the fixed seat 19 and move in the glue barrel 18 to achieve the effect of discharging glue. When the driving source stops working, the transmission gear 04 and the driven gear 02 on the linkage mechanism are separated, and the separation gear can rotate freely on the fixed shaft 01. When the operator applies a pulling force on the push rod 20, the push rod 20 can move freely in the through hole of the fixed seat 19. This makes it easy to replace the glue in the glue barrel 18.

[0037] If the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0038] The above implementation modes are merely descriptions of the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary engineering and technical personnel in the field shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
