[0046] As Figure 1 A fastener driver 100 of an embodiment of the present application is shown. The fastener driver 100 is used to drive a fastener into a work surface 200. For example, the fastener can be a nail, which can be a one-piece nail or a U-shaped nail. The fastener driver 100 drives the fastener into the work surface 200 quickly to secure the work surface 200 to a platform behind the work surface 200. In this embodiment, the fastener driver 100 is, for example, a nail gun. Alternatively, the fastener driver 100 includes a mechanical spring-type nail gun that uses the force of a compressed coil spring as an impact force (e.g., a driving force). Alternatively, the fastener driver 100 is a gas cylinder-type nail gun that uses gas in a cylinder to push the fastener out.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fastener driver 100 is a gas cylinder-type nail gun. For example, the fastener driver 100 does not require an external source of air pressure, but includes a pre-charged pressurized gas in a cylinder assembly. For example, the cylinder assembly of the fastener driver 100 is in communication with the atmosphere, and the cylinder flows gas in a pre-set state.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1 , the fastener driver 100 is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. In the present embodiment, the battery pack is a battery pack 300, which cooperates with a corresponding power supply circuit to power the fastener driver 100. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in other embodiments, the fastener driver 100 can be powered by other power supply devices, for example, the power supply can be an AC power cord connected to a commercial power supply, or the power supply can be other connection cables connected to a power supply device. The commercial power supply or other power supply device cooperates with a corresponding rectification, filtering and voltage regulation circuit to power the corresponding components of the fastener driver 100. Hereinafter, the battery pack 300 will be used to replace the power supply, but it is not intended to limit the present application.

[0049] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the fastener driver 100 comprises a housing 11, a striking assembly 12, a power mechanism 20 and a motor 14. The housing 11 is used to support the striking assembly 12, the power mechanism 20 and the motor 14. The striking assembly 12 comprises a striking member 121 for driving a fastener, and optionally, the striking member 121 is used to drive the fastener to be shot into a work surface 200 along a striking straight line 101. The striking member 121 is a sheet-like element extending along a plane parallel to the striking straight line 101, and the axis defined by the striking member 121 coincides with the striking straight line 101. The power mechanism 20 is used to drive the striking member 121 to move along the striking straight line 101 to impact the fastener shot into the work surface 200 along the striking straight line 101.

[0050] Specifically, the striking assembly 12 comprises a rest position and a striking position; the power mechanism 20 is used to drive the striking member 121 to move from the rest position to the striking position to impact the fastener, and after impacting the fastener, the striking member 121 returns to the rest position from the striking position to complete one impact. That is, normally, when the striking member 121 moves from the rest position to the striking position, it drives the fastener to be shot into the work surface 200 along the striking straight line 101. Then the striking member 121 returns to the initial rest position from the striking position to wait for the next impact.

[0051] For the convenience of describing the technical solutions of the present application, the front-rear direction and the up-down direction are defined as shown in Figure 1 , wherein the front-rear direction is parallel to the striking straight line 101, and the direction of the striking member 121 pointing to the fastener is the front, and the up-down direction is perpendicular to the front-rear direction.

[0052] In the present embodiment, a motor 14 is provided in the housing 11, and the motor 14 is configured to provide power to the power mechanism 20. In the present embodiment, the motor 14 is specifically an electric motor 14, and the electric motor 14 is configured to provide power to the power mechanism 20. It can be appreciated that in other embodiments, the motor 14 can be other forms of power sources, such as an engine. In the present application, the electric motor 14 is used for illustration. The electric motor 14 is an internal rotor electric motor 14. It can be appreciated that in other embodiments, the electric motor 14 can also be an external rotor electric motor. A battery pack 300 is detachably mounted to the housing 11. The battery pack 300 is configured to provide power to at least the electric motor 14 when the battery pack 300 is mounted to the housing 11 to enable the electric motor 14 to operate.

[0053] The power mechanism 20 includes a drive assembly 21, an energy storage assembly 22, and a firing assembly 23. The drive assembly 21 is configured to drive the energy storage assembly 22 to store energy. The firing assembly 23 is configured to form or connect the striking member 121, and the firing assembly 23 is configured to move relative to the housing 11 along the third straight line 103 and to drive the striking member 121 to move along the striking straight line 101 when the firing assembly 23 moves along the third straight line 103. The energy storage assembly 22 is configured to store energy for driving the firing assembly 23 to move, and to drive the firing assembly 23 to move along the third straight line 103 when the energy is released, thereby driving the striking member 121 to move along the striking straight line 101.

[0054] The fastener driver 100 further includes a speed reduction mechanism 15 disposed between the electric motor 14 and the power mechanism 20, and the speed reduction mechanism 15 is configured to connect the electric motor 14 and the power mechanism 20, thereby transmitting power output by the electric motor 14 to the power mechanism 20. The speed reduction mechanism 15 is further configured to reduce the rotational speed of the power output by the electric motor 14. In the present embodiment, the speed reduction mechanism 15 includes a first speed reduction assembly 151, and the first speed reduction assembly 151 is configured to use planetary gear reduction. Because the working principle of planetary gear reduction and the speed reduction produced by such a transmission mechanism are well known to those skilled in the art, detailed description is omitted here for the purpose of brevity of the specification.

[0055] The energy storage assembly 22 includes a gas spring mechanism or a mechanical spring mechanism, wherein the mechanical spring mechanism uses a drive assembly to compress a helical spring to store energy when compressed and release energy when extended. The spring drives the striking member 121 to move when the energy is released.

[0056] As Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the energy storage component 22 is a gas spring mechanism. The energy storage component 22 includes a first cylinder 221 and a second cylinder 222. A portion or all of the second cylinder 222 is disposed within the first cylinder 221. The first cylinder 221 includes a first cylinder cavity 2210, and the central axis of the first cylinder cavity 2210 is set as a second straight line 102. A portion or all of the second cylinder 222 is disposed within the first cylinder cavity 2210. The second cylinder 222 includes a second cylinder cavity 2220, and the central axis of the second cylinder cavity 2220 coincides with a third straight line 103. In this embodiment, the second straight line 102 and the third straight line 103 are parallel but do not coincide. In some embodiments, the second straight line 102 and the third straight line 103 coincide. In some embodiments, the second straight line 102 and the third straight line 103 are set at a certain angle.

[0057] In some embodiments, the energy storage assembly 22 further includes a connecting part 223 for connecting the first cylinder chamber 2210 and the second cylinder chamber 2220, so that the gas in the first cylinder chamber 2210 can enter the second cylinder chamber 2220 through the connecting part 223.

[0058] The firing assembly 23 is at least partially disposed within the energy storage assembly 22. The firing assembly 23 includes a first piston 231 and a second piston 232. Part or all of the first piston 231 is disposed within the first cylinder chamber 2210. The second piston 232 is disposed within the second cylinder chamber 2220. The drive assembly 21 is connected to the first piston 231 and is capable of driving the first piston 231 to reciprocate along a second straight line 102 within the first cylinder chamber 2210 under the rotation of the motor 14. The second piston 232 is capable of reciprocating along a third straight line 103 within the second cylinder chamber 2220.

[0059] The striking element 121 and the second piston 232 are fixedly connected. The second piston 232 drives the striking element 121 to reciprocate between the top dead center or stop position and the bottom dead center or striking position in the second cylinder cavity 2220.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the firing assembly 23 also includes an iron plate 234 and a magnet 235. The iron plate 234 is disposed on the side of the second piston 232 facing the connecting portion 223, and the magnet 235 is disposed on the side of the connecting portion 223 facing the second piston 232. The iron plate 234 and the magnet 235 attract each other to fix the second piston 232. In other embodiments, the magnet 235 may be disposed on the side of the second piston 232 facing the connecting portion 223, and the iron plate 234 may be disposed on the side of the connecting portion 223 facing the second piston 232.

[0061] This embodiment provides an implementation of a power mechanism 20. When the drive assembly 21 pushes the first piston 231 to move from front to back within the first cylinder chamber 2210 along the direction of the second straight line 102, the gas in the first cylinder chamber 2210 enters the second cylinder chamber 2220 through the connecting part 223. As the first piston 231 gradually approaches the connecting part 223, the air pressure on the second piston 232 gradually increases. When the air pressure on the second piston 232 reaches a predetermined threshold, the second piston 232 is released from the attraction of the magnet 235 and moves from the top dead center or stop position to the bottom dead center or striking position under the action of air pressure. This pushes the striking member 121 forward to strike the fastener. After the strike is completed, it returns from the bottom dead center or striking position to the top dead center or stop position. At this time, one striking cycle is completed, and the striking member 121 waits for the next strike at the top dead center or stop position.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, motor 14 is a three-phase brushless motor, including a rotor with permanent magnets and electronically commutated three-phase stator windings U, V, and W. In some embodiments, the three-phase stator windings U, V, and W are connected in a star configuration, and in other embodiments, they are connected in a delta configuration. However, it must be understood that other types of brushless motors are also within the scope of this disclosure. Brushless motors may include fewer or more than three phases.

[0063] The fastener driver 100 includes a control circuit for controlling the motor 14 to operate or stop. The control circuit includes a drive circuit 171 and a controller 172. The drive circuit 171 is electrically connected to the stator windings U, V, W of the motor 14 for delivering current from the battery pack 300 to the stator windings U, V, W to drive the motor 14 to rotate. In one embodiment, the drive circuit 171 includes a plurality of switching elements Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6. The gate terminal of each switching element is electrically connected to the controller 172 for receiving a control signal from the controller 172. The drain or source terminal of each switching element is connected to the stator windings U, V, W of the motor 14. The switching elements Q1-Q6 receive the control signal from the controller 172 to change the respective on / off state, thereby changing the current from the battery pack 300 to the stator windings U, V, W of the motor 14. In one embodiment, the drive circuit 171 can be a three-phase bridge driver circuit including six controllable semiconductor power devices (e.g., Field Effect Transistor (FET), Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT), Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), etc.). It is understood that the switching elements described above can also be any other type of solid state switch, such as IGBT, BJT, etc.

[0064] In the present embodiment, the controller 172 is configured to control the motor 14 to at least one of operate and limit the output of the motor 14. Limiting the output of the motor 14 includes slowing down the motor 14 and stopping the motor 14. Slowing down the motor 14 means reducing the output rotational speed of the motor 14. Stopping the motor 14 means stopping the motor 14 from working and not outputting power. The motor 14 can be stopped in a stop mode or an intermittent stop mode.

[0065] The controller 172 is disposed on a control circuit board, which includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and a flexible printed circuit (FPC). The controller 172 employs a dedicated control chip, such as a single-chip microcomputer or a microcontroller unit (MCU). The controller 172 specifically controls the on or off state of the switching elements in the drive circuit 171 through the control chip. In some embodiments, the controller 172 controls the ratio between the on time and the off time of the drive switch based on a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. It should be noted that the control chip can be integrated into the controller 172, or can also be disposed independently of the controller 172, and the structural relationship between the drive chip and the controller 172 can be set according to actual conditions.

[0075] In some embodiments, the fastener driver 100 further includes a detection device 40, which is configured to detect at least the type of the magazine assembly 191; wherein, the detection device 40 refers to a device capable of detecting the type of the magazine assembly 191, and the detection device 40 can be installed either on the magazine mounting part 111 or on the magazine assembly 191.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the controller 172 is configured to call a control program adapted to the type of the magazine assembly 191 to control the striking element 121 to strike the fastener. Different types of magazine assemblies 191 contain different fasteners, thus the striking force, striking time, and striking frequency may differ. Therefore, the controller 172 controls the striking with different programs. The controller 172 has pre-stored control programs for different types of magazine assemblies 191. By calling the control program adapted to the type of magazine assembly 191 to control the striking element 121 to strike the fastener, it can achieve multiple uses with one device. Compared with related technologies where one fastener driver 100 can only adapt to one type of magazine assembly 191, this application can enable the same fastener driver 100 to adapt to multiple different types of magazine assemblies 191, improving the versatility of the fastener driver 100 and reducing costs.

[0077] In some embodiments, the detection device 40 is arranged on the cartridge mounting portion 111, and the detection device 40 is triggered to detect the type of the cartridge assembly 191 when the cartridge assembly 191 is mounted to the cartridge mounting portion 111. Thus, the detection device 40 can automatically detect the type of the cartridge assembly 191 after the cartridge assembly 191 is mounted to the cartridge mounting portion 111. In some embodiments, the detection device 40 is arranged on the cartridge assembly 191, and the detection device 40 is triggered to detect the type of the cartridge assembly 191 when the cartridge assembly 191 is mounted to the cartridge mounting portion 111. In this embodiment, the detection device 40 is arranged on the cartridge mounting portion 111, so that the detection device 40 does not need to be arranged on each cartridge assembly 191, thereby reducing the cost compared to arranging the detection device 40 on the cartridge assembly 191. In some embodiments, the detection device 40 is partially arranged on the cartridge mounting portion 111 and partially arranged on the cartridge assembly 191.

[0078] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the detection device 40 includes a detection sensor 42 arranged on the cartridge mounting portion 111, and the detection sensor 42 is used to detect whether the cartridge assembly 191 is mounted to the cartridge mounting portion 111, so that the detection device 40 can be triggered to detect the type of the cartridge assembly 191 when the cartridge assembly 191 is mounted to the cartridge mounting portion 111. In some embodiments, the detection sensor 42 includes at least one of a proximity sensor and a contact sensor. In some embodiments, the detection sensor 42 is arranged on a surface of the cartridge assembly 191 that contacts the cartridge mounting portion 111 when the cartridge assembly 191 is mounted to the cartridge mounting portion 111, so that the detection device 40 can be triggered to detect the type of the cartridge assembly 191 when the cartridge assembly 191 is mounted to the cartridge mounting portion 111.

[0079] In some embodiments, the detection device 40 further includes a detection piece 41, and the detection sensor 42 is used to determine that the cartridge assembly 191 is mounted to the cartridge mounting portion 111 when the detection piece 41 is detected. Optionally, one of the detection sensor 42 and the detection piece 41 is arranged on the cartridge assembly 191, and the other of the detection sensor 42 and the detection piece 41 is arranged on the cartridge mounting portion 111. In this embodiment, the detection sensor 42 is arranged on the cartridge assembly 191, and the detection piece 41 is arranged on the cartridge mounting portion 111. In some embodiments, the detection piece 41 is a magnet.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the cartridge assembly 191 is provided with a structural piece, and the detection device 40 is configured to identify the structural piece on the cartridge assembly 191 to determine the type of the cartridge assembly 191. The structural piece is a mechanical part with a specific shape and function, and the structural piece is arranged on the cartridge assembly 191 to facilitate the detection device 40 to determine the type of the cartridge assembly 191.

[0081] In some embodiments, the preset size of the structure on the different types of clip assemblies 191 is different; the detection device 40 is configured to identify the preset size of the structure on the clip assembly 191 to determine the type of the clip assembly 191. Wherein, the preset size refers to the length or size of the structure in physical space, which can be the length of the structure, the height of the structure, or the size of the structure as a whole. By making the preset size of the structure on the different types of clip assemblies 191 different, the detection device 40 can determine the type of the current clip assembly 191 according to the preset size of the structure.

[0082] In some embodiments, the detection device 40 includes a sliding rheostat with a detection part, and the structure is used to displace the detection part when the clip assembly 191 is installed to the clip mounting part 111, thereby generating a response signal. Wherein, the response signal refers to the signal in response to the displacement of the detection part. The preset size of the structure on the different types of clip assemblies 191 is different, and the displacement of the detection part is different when the structure on the different types of clip assemblies 191 is installed to the clip mounting part 111. Since the displacement of the detection part of the sliding rheostat is different, the resistance of the sliding rheostat is different, so the type of the clip assembly 191 can be determined according to the response signal.

[0083] In some embodiments, the clip assembly 191 is provided with identification information; the detection device 40 is configured to identify the identification information to determine the type of the clip assembly 191. Wherein, the identification information refers to the information that can be judged by the electronic to indicate the type of the clip assembly 191. By directly setting the identification information on the clip assembly 191, the detection device 40 only needs to identify the identification information to determine the type of the clip assembly 191. In some embodiments, the detection device 40 includes an image recognition module, which can identify the identification information.

[0084] In some embodiments, the identification information comprises at least one of a binary code, a resistance value, a bar code, a two-dimensional code, and an RFID tag. The binary code, the resistance value, the bar code, the two-dimensional code, and the RFID tag can all contain certain information. By having different types of the clip assembly 191 each having at least one of a binary code, a resistance value, a bar code, a two-dimensional code, and an RFID tag as the identification information, the detection device 40 can easily determine the type of the clip assembly 191. It can be understood that the detection device 40 will adaptively adjust according to the identification information, and the detection device 40 only needs to be able to recognize the identification information. For example, in a specific embodiment, the identification information comprises a two-dimensional code, and the detection device 40 comprises a two-dimensional code recognition module, so that the type of the clip assembly 191 can be determined by only the two-dimensional code recognition module recognizing the two-dimensional code on the clip assembly 191. The devices for recognizing binary codes, resistance values, bar codes, two-dimensional codes, and RFID tags are common in the related art, and will not be described in detail here. The specific structure of the detection device 40 is not specifically limited here.

[0085] In some embodiments, different types of the clip assembly 191 have the same communication interface 192, and the clip assembly 191 sends the type of the clip assembly 191 through the communication interface 192. Specifically, the detection device 40 has an electronic interface matched with the communication interface 192, so that the detection device 40 can directly communicate with the clip assembly 191 to obtain the type of the clip assembly 191 sent by the clip assembly 191.

[0086] In some embodiments, the application also provides a fastener driving system, which comprises a terminal and the fastener driver 100 of any of the embodiments of the application.

[0087] The terminal is wirelessly connected with the detection device 40. The detection device 40 obtains the type of the clip assembly 191 sent by the terminal, and sends the type of the clip assembly 191 to the controller 172.

[0088] The terminal is a device integrated with a single-chip microcomputer or a microprocessor and having programmable functions, and is capable of data processing and data transmission control. The terminal usually has information acquisition, processing and connection capabilities, and can realize intelligent sensing, interaction, big data services and other advanced functions.
