[0047] Embodiment one

[0048] As Figures 2 to 6As shown, the electric tool speed regulating switch comprises a trigger 1, a damping coil spring 2, a push rod 3, a reset coil spring 4, a base 5, a printed circuit board 6 and a slide claw 7.

[0050] The base 5 is fixedly arranged below the printed circuit board 6.

[0051] The trigger 1 is formed with a front-to-back guide hole 11; the front end of the guide hole 11 is open, and the rear end is closed.

[0052] The rear part of the push rod 3 has a smaller outer diameter than the inner diameter of the guide hole 11.

[0053] The rear part of the push rod 3 is clamped in the guide hole 11, and the clamped push rod 3 can slide forward and backward within a set distance along the guide hole 11.

[0060] Preferably, the speed regulating switch is integrated in the handle of the electric tool.

[0061] The electric tool speed regulating switch of the embodiment one, in the case of electric tool working vibration, if the operator's finger cannot press the trigger 1 in the maximum stroke position (the push rod 3 moves to the most front position), the trigger 1 is driven repeatedly in the maximum stroke area (the first pressing position to the second pressing position of the trigger, the second pressing position is also the most front position of the push rod 3), and the slide claw 7 does not slide relative to the printed circuit board 6, thereby effectively reducing the wear of the slide claw 7 relative to the printed circuit board 6, effectively improving the signal output stability of the speed regulating switch and the service life of the speed regulating switch.

[0062] Embodiment two

[0063] Based on the electric tool speed regulating switch of the embodiment one, a limiting groove 13 is formed on the inner wall of the guide hole 11 in the circumferential direction;

[0064] A limiting convex rib 31 is formed on the rear part of the push rod 3 in the circumferential direction;

[0065] The outer diameter of the limiting convex rib 31 is greater than the inner diameter of the guide hole 11 and less than the inner diameter of the limiting groove 13;

[0066] The difference between the axial (front-to-back) thickness of the limiting convex rib 31 and the axial (front-to-back) thickness of the limiting groove 13 is consistent with the set distance.

[0067] Preferably, the set distance is greater than 0.5 mm and less than 2 mm.

[0068] The electric tool speed regulating switch of the embodiment two, through the cooperation of the limiting groove 13 on the rear inner wall of the guide hole 11 of the trigger 1 and the limiting convex rib 31 behind the push rod 3, the rear part of the push rod 3 is clamped in the guide hole 11, and the clamped push rod 3 can slide in the guide hole 11 within a set distance.

[0069] Embodiment three

[0070] Based on the electric tool speed regulating switch of the embodiment one, as shown, Figures 2 to 5 A central through hole 32 is formed on the push rod 3 in the axial direction;

[0071] The inner diameter of the central through hole 32 is greater than the outer diameter of the reset coil spring 4;

[0072] The reset coil spring 4 passes through the central through hole 32, with the front end abutting against the base 5 and the rear end abutting against the rear wall of the trigger 1.

[0073] Preferably, the front end of the damping coil spring 2 abuts against the rear end of the push rod 3.

[0074] The rear end of the reset coil spring 4 is sleeved in the damping coil spring 2.

[0075] The electric tool speed regulating switch of the third embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The reset coil spring 4 is in the initial position, acting on the trigger 1, so that the trigger 1 is in the released position (natural state); the shock-absorbing coil spring 2 has an initial compression deformation elastic force F1, which can make the push rod 3 be pressed to the initial relative position of the guide hole of the trigger 1 (the limiting convex rib 31 is located at the front end of the limiting groove 13), and the push rod 3 drives the sliding jaw 7 to the initial position of the lower side of the printed circuit board 6, and the contact pad is disconnected.

[0076] As shown in Figure 4 , the trigger 1 is pressed forward until the trigger 1 reaches the first pressing position, and the reset coil spring 4 is compressed. During this process, the push rod 3 and the shock-absorbing coil spring 2 move forward with the trigger 1, and the shock-absorbing coil spring 2 is not compressed, and the initial compression deformation elastic force F1 still makes the push rod 3 be pressed to the initial relative position of the guide hole of the trigger 1 (the limiting convex rib 31 is located at the front end of the limiting groove 13), and when the trigger 1 reaches the first pressing position, the front end of the push rod 3 abuts against the base 5, and the push rod 3 is limited by the base 5 and is prohibited from moving forward; during this process, the push rod 3 drives the sliding jaw 7 to slide on the printed circuit board 6 and pass through the contact pad to change the connection or disconnection of the contact pad, thereby realizing the on-off and speed regulation functions of the electric tool switch.

[0077] As shown in Figure 5 , the trigger 1 is continuously pressed forward until the trigger 1 reaches the second pressing position, and the reset coil spring 4 is compressed. During this process, the push rod 3 has been limited by the base 5 and is prohibited from moving forward, so the shock-absorbing coil spring 2 is compressed, and the push rod 3 moves backward relative to the trigger 1 to the terminal relative position of the guide hole of the trigger 1 (the limiting convex rib 31 is located at the rear end of the limiting groove 13). During the process from the first pressing position to the second pressing position of the trigger 1, the sliding jaw 7 does not slide relative to the printed circuit board 6 and the contact pad thereof because the push rod 3 does not move.

[0078] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 4 , the trigger 1 is released from the second pressing position, and under the compression deformation force of the reset coil spring 4, the trigger 1 retreats to the first pressing position, and the reset coil spring 4 is partially released. During this process, the shock-absorbing coil spring 2 is released, and the push rod 3 is limited by the shock-absorbing coil spring 2 and the base 5 and cannot move forward and backward, so the sliding jaw 7 does not slide relative to the printed circuit board 6 and the contact pad thereof.

[0079] As shown in Figure 3If the trigger 1 is continuously released from the first pressing position, the trigger 1 can continue to retreat to the release position under the compression deformation force of the reset coil spring 4, and the reset coil spring 4 is almost completely released. In this process, the damping coil spring 2 is compressed, the push rod 3 can move forward and backward, and thus the slide claw 7 can slide forward and backward relative to the printed circuit board 6 and its contact pad.

[0080] The damping coil spring 2 and the reset coil spring 4 of the power tool speed regulating switch of embodiment three can be connected in parallel and act on the trigger 1 at the rear end.

[0081] Embodiment four

[0082] Based on the power tool speed regulating switch of embodiment one, as shown in Figure 6 The push rod 3 is formed with a reset column 33 with an axis in the front-back direction at the front part, and a damping hole 34 with an axis in the front-back direction at the middle and rear part, and the push rod 3 retains an isolation wall 35 between the damping hole 34 and the reset column 33;

[0083] The inner diameter of the reset coil spring 4 is greater than the outer diameter of the reset column 33;

[0084] The outer diameter of the damping coil spring 2 is less than the inner diameter of the damping hole 34;

[0085] The reset coil spring 4 is sleeved on the outside of the reset column 33, and the rear end abuts against the isolation wall 35 of the push rod 3;

[0086] The damping coil spring 2 is sleeved in the damping hole 34, and the front end abuts against the isolation wall 35 of the push rod 3.

[0087] Preferably, the initial compression deformation elastic force F1 of the damping coil spring 2 when the trigger 1 is in the release position (natural state) is greater than the compression deformation force of the reset coil spring 4 when the front end of the push rod 3 abuts against the base 5.

[0088] The electric tool speed regulating switch of the embodiment four, the damping coil spring 2 and the reset coil spring 4 are in series acting on the push rod 3. The trigger 1 is pressed forward until the trigger 1 reaches the first pressing position, the reset coil spring 4 is compressed. In this process, the push rod 3 and the damping coil spring 2 move forward with the trigger 1, the damping coil spring 2 is not compressed, the initial compression deformation elastic force F1 makes the push rod 3 still under pressure in the initial relative position of the guide hole of the trigger 1 (the limiting convex rib 31 is located at the front end of the limiting groove 13), when the trigger 1 reaches the first pressing position, the front end of the push rod 3 abuts against the base 5, the push rod 3 is limited by the base 5 and is prohibited from moving forward; in this process, the push rod 3 drives the sliding claw 7 to slide on the printed circuit board 6 and pass through the contact pad to make the contact pad change the on position or off, so as to realize the on-off and speed regulating functions of the electric tool switch; the trigger 1 is continuously pressed forward until the trigger 1 reaches the second pressing position, the reset coil spring 4 is continuously compressed, in this process, since the push rod 3 is prohibited from moving forward by the base 5, the damping coil spring 2 is compressed, and the push rod 3 moves backward relative to the trigger 1 to the terminal relative position of the guide hole of the trigger 1 (the limiting convex rib 31 is located at the rear end of the limiting groove 13). In the process of the trigger 1 from the first pressing position to the second pressing position, since the push rod 3 does not move, the sliding claw 7 does not slide relative to the printed circuit board 6 and the contact pad (pad) thereof, so as to achieve the damping effect.

[0089] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
