Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of chain saws, and in particular to a chain saw. Background Art

[0002] Chain saws are a tool widely used in gardening, forestry and construction, usually for cutting trees, trimming branches, felling wood, etc. In gardening applications, chain saws can not only be used for ground operations, but are also often used for pruning high branches. Due to the potential dangers of working at heights, operators need special tools to complete these tasks safely. For this reason, chain saws are often used in combination with extension poles to allow operators to cut high branches while standing on the ground, thereby reducing operational risks.

[0003] The chain saw structure includes a saw body, a cutting saw chain, an extension rod and a handle. A switch for starting the chain saw is provided on the handle, and the switch can control the activation of the chain saw. The extension rod is a chain saw accessory, and its main function is to expand the working range of the chain saw. One end of the extension rod is connected to the handle of the chain saw, and the other end is provided with a handle and a control device. The operator can start the chain saw through the control device on the extension rod. When operating the chain saw alone, it is necessary to connect the chain saw with the extension rod, and then hold the handle and the extension rod, and control the movement direction and cutting speed of the chain saw through the control device. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the chain saw when in use, a safety switch is usually provided at the switch for starting the chain saw. The chain saw can only be started when the safety switch is turned off; on the contrary, when the safety switch is turned on, the chain saw cannot be started normally.

[0004] However, in actual application, the safety switch is often forgotten to be turned on after the chain saw is used, especially when the chain saw is frequently used for cutting operations. In order to improve the efficiency of the cutting operation, the safety switch is usually turned off during use, which may lead to the situation of accidentally touching the switch during the operation of the chain saw and the extension rod. In this case, once the chain saw is connected to the power supply, the chain saw may be accidentally started, resulting in accidental injury. This situation is extremely dangerous, therefore, it is necessary to improve the safety insurance mechanism of the chain saw to improve the safety and reliability of the operation of the chain saw. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problem that the safety insurance mechanism on the chain saw in the related art is imperfect, resulting in safety hazards in the process of connecting the chain saw with the extension rod, thereby reducing the safety and reliability of operating the chain saw, the present application provides a chain saw.

[0006] The present application provides a chain saw adopting the following technical solution:

[0007] A chain saw comprising:

[0008] handle;

[0009] A motor, wherein the motor is arranged at one end of the handle;

[0010] The insurance component includes a micro switch and a rotating block. The micro switch is arranged on the handle and is electrically connected to the motor. The rotating block is rotationally connected to the handle, and one end of the rotating block is close to the micro switch. When the other end of the rotating block is turned, the rotating block presses the micro switch to put the micro switch in an on state.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the micro switch and the rotating block are arranged. Since the micro switch and the motor are electrically connected, the motor can be started only when the rotating block presses the micro switch. Therefore, it can be ensured that when the handle is connected to the extension rod, even if the switch on the handle for starting the chain saw is accidentally touched, the chain saw will not be started, thereby improving the safety and reliability of operating the chain saw.

[0012] Optionally, the insurance component also includes a reed switch and a magnetic part. An extension rod is provided on the handle, and a connecting part is provided at one end of the extension rod. The extension rod is connected to an end of the handle away from the motor through the connecting part; the reed switch is provided on the handle, and the reed switch is electrically connected to the micro switch; the magnetic part is provided on the connecting part, and the magnetic part is fixedly connected to the connecting part. The magnetic part can act on the reed switch, and when the reed switch is close to the magnetic part, the reed switch will be in a conducting state.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the correct installation between the handle and the extension rod can be ensured by arranging the reed switch and the magnetic part, because the reed switch will be in the on state only when the handle and the extension rod are fully installed in place; at the same time, the reed switch is electrically connected to the micro switch to form multiple safety insurances. The chain saw can only be started when the reed switch and the micro switch are in the on state at the same time, thereby further improving the safety and reliability of the chain saw.

[0014] Optionally, the safety assembly further comprises an elastic member, wherein the elastic member is arranged on the rotating block, one end of the elastic member is connected to the rotating block, and the other end of the elastic member is connected to the handle.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic member can not only make the rotating block automatically reset when it is not moved, but also make it difficult for the rotating block to rotate, thereby preventing the micro switch from being turned on when the rotating block is accidentally rotated, thereby causing accidental injury.

[0016] Optionally, the elastic member is configured as a spring sheet, a clamping seat is fixedly provided on the rotating block, one end of the spring sheet is clamped in the clamping seat, and the other end of the spring sheet is connected to the handle.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic member is set as a spring leaf. During the bending process of the spring leaf, the restoring force usually increases sharply within a specific angle and can react quickly, thereby ensuring the timeliness of the response of the insurance component.

[0018] Optionally, the elastic member is configured as a torsion spring, the torsion spring is disposed on the rotating member, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the rotating member, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the handle.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic member is set as a torsion spring, and the installation space required for the torsion spring is smaller. At the same time, the torsion spring has higher torsional stiffness and elastic force, and can adapt to long-term and frequent torsional movements, so it has a longer service life.

[0020] Optionally, the safety component also includes a toggle rod, the handle is provided with a plug-in slot, the toggle rod is passed through the connecting part and is slidably connected to the connecting part, one end of the toggle rod passes through the plug-in slot, and the toggle rod abuts against one end of the rotating block, so that the rotating block can be driven to rotate by the toggle rod.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the toggle lever can not only control the rotation of the rotating block more conveniently and quickly, but also lock the position between the two when the extension rod is connected to the handle, thereby preventing the chain saw from slipping on the extension rod during use, thereby improving the reliability and safety of operating the chain saw.

[0022] Optionally, the safety assembly further includes a button cap and a spring, wherein the button cap is fixed to one end of the toggle rod away from the rotating block, the spring is sleeved on the toggle rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the toggle rod, and the other end of the spring is connected to the connecting part.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the button cap makes the toggle rod feel better to hold and is more convenient for operators to operate; the spring can achieve continuous and stable abutment of the toggle rod against the rotating block, avoiding the vibration generated when using the chain saw and causing the micro switch to disconnect, thereby improving the reliability of the connection.

[0024] Optionally, an end of the toggle rod close to the button cap is provided with an external thread, a boss is fixedly provided on the connecting portion, and the toggle rod is threadably connected to the boss via the external thread.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the toggle rod is threadedly connected to the boss, which can not only conveniently adjust the position of the toggle rod, but also lock the toggle rod at the connection portion, thereby ensuring that during the use of the chain saw, the toggle rod will not be accidentally toggled by some obstacles, causing the toggle rod to loosen or shift, thereby preventing the chain saw from being accidentally shut down and affecting the reliability of the chain saw.

[0026] And ensure that it will not loosen or shift during use

[0027] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. By adopting the above technical solution, the micro switch and the rotating block are arranged. Since the micro switch and the motor are electrically connected, the motor can be started only when the rotating block presses the micro switch. Therefore, it can be ensured that when the handle is connected to the extension rod, even if the switch for starting the chain saw on the handle is accidentally touched, the chain saw will not be started, thereby improving the safety and reliability of operating the chain saw;

[0029] 2. The reed switch and magnetic parts can ensure the correct installation between the handle and the extension rod, because the reed switch will be in the on state only when the handle and the extension rod are fully installed; at the same time, the reed switch is electrically connected to the micro switch to form multiple safety insurances. The chain saw can only be started when the reed switch and the micro switch are in the on state at the same time, thereby further improving the safety and reliability of the chain saw;

[0030] 3. The toggle lever can not only control the rotation of the rotating block more conveniently and quickly, but also lock the position between the two when the extension rod is connected to the handle, to prevent the chain saw from slipping on the extension rod during use of the chain saw, thereby improving the reliability and safety of operating the chain saw.
