Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of nail gun technology, and particularly to a magazine and a nail gun. Background Technology

[0002] A nail gun, also known as a nail shooter, is often called a nail gun because its shape and working principle are similar to a handgun. It is a fastening tool that uses blank cartridges, gas, or compressed air as power to drive nails into the building structure.

[0003] Nail guns are an advanced modern fastening technology that offers many advantages over traditional methods such as pre-embedded fixing, drilling and pouring, bolting, and welding. They are self-powered, eliminating the need for electrical wires and ductwork, and facilitating on-site and high-altitude operations. They are quick to operate and have a short construction period, significantly reducing worker workload. They are reliable and safe, and can even solve some previously difficult construction problems. They also save money and reduce construction costs.

[0004] However, the magazines of the nail guns in this technology lack dust protection. Specifically, when the user uses the nail gun, the magazine housing has an opening that exposes the nails to the outside. During the nailing process, dust, mud, sand, nail fragments, or other hard objects or debris can easily enter the housing through the opening and come into contact with the nails, causing the nails to malfunction and potentially leading to jamming or other issues. In other words, the magazines in this technology have low reliability. Utility Model Content

[0005] This disclosure provides a magazine and nail gun, which can at least improve the reliability of the magazine.

[0006] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, one aspect of this disclosure provides a magazine for use in a nail gun and for providing nails to the nail gun, comprising: a housing having a cavity for placing the nail and an opening communicating with the cavity, the opening extending along a first direction; a nail-pushing assembly, a portion of the nail-pushing assembly passing through the opening and disposed within the cavity, and the nail-pushing assembly being movable along the first direction; and an elastic member covering the side of the opening opposite to the cavity, one end of the elastic member being connected to the housing and the other end being connected to the nail-pushing assembly, the elastic member being used to push the nail-pushing assembly to move within the opening along the first direction to push the nail.

[0007] In some embodiments, the elastic element is a coil spring.

[0008] In some embodiments, the pusher assembly includes: a pusher block that contacts the nail and pushes the nail to move; a main body that is connected to the elastic member; and a connecting portion that connects the pusher block and the main body, the connecting portion being disposed within the opening.

[0009] In some embodiments, the housing includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed opposite to each other, the edges of the first sidewall and the edges of the second sidewall being spaced apart to form the opening.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first sidewall includes a transparent area for observing the number of nails inside the housing.

[0011] In some embodiments, the housing further includes a side plate connected to the first sidewall and abutting against the main body portion.

[0012] In some embodiments, the pusher block has a protrusion protruding from the surface of the first sidewall, and the first sidewall has a through hole penetrating the first sidewall, wherein the protrusion can be engaged in the through hole.

[0013] In some embodiments, the push pin assembly further includes: an elastic portion disposed within the main body portion and connected to the connecting portion; the elastic portion extends and retracts in a second direction to move the protrusion of the push pin block connected to the connecting portion in the second direction, so that the protrusion can be engaged in the through hole; and a button, part of which is located within the main body portion and abuts against the elastic portion.

[0014] In some embodiments, the magazine further includes: a connector connecting the housing and the nail gun, wherein the slot is formed between the connector and the housing, and one end of the elastic member away from the nail pusher assembly is engaged in the slot.

[0015] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, another aspect of this disclosure provides a nail gun including the magazine described in any of the above embodiments.

[0016] The technical solution provided in this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0017] The magazine solution provided in this disclosure includes a housing, a pusher assembly, and an elastic element. The housing has a cavity for placing the nail and an opening communicating with the cavity, the opening extending along a first direction. A portion of the pusher assembly passes through the opening and is disposed within the cavity, and the pusher assembly is movable along the first direction. The elastic element shields the side of the opening away from the cavity, one end of the elastic element is connected to the housing, and the other end is connected to the pusher assembly. The elastic element is used to push the pusher assembly to move within the opening along the first direction to push the nail. In the magazine provided in this disclosure, one end of the elastic element is connected to the housing, and the other end is connected to the pusher assembly. The elastic element shields the side of the opening away from the cavity, so that the nail is surrounded by the housing and the elastic element. This arrangement prevents dust, mud, and other hard impurities from contacting the nail through the opening during nail firing, thus preventing the nails from becoming misaligned due to impurities entering the housing, thereby improving the reliability of the magazine.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a magazine structure provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of a magazine provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 An exploded view of a magazine provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The magazine includes a housing 10, a nail pusher assembly 11, and an elastic element 12. The housing 10 has a cavity 101 for placing nails and an opening 102 communicating with the cavity 101. The opening 102 extends along a first direction X. A portion of the nail pusher assembly 11 passes through the opening 102 and is movably disposed within the cavity 101, and the nail pusher assembly 11 is movable along the first direction X. The elastic element 12 covers the side of the opening 102 away from the cavity 101. One end of the elastic element 12 is connected to the housing 10, and the other end is connected to the nail pusher assembly 11. The elastic element 12 is used to push the nail pusher assembly 11 to move along the first direction X within the opening 102 to push the nails.

[0040] The pusher assembly 11 is positioned in the extension direction of the nail.

[0041] The magazine 1 is used in a nail gun to supply nails to the nail gun. Specifically, the cavity 101 of the housing 10 in the magazine 1 is used to hold the nails.

[0042] The pusher assembly 11 is used to push the nail inside the housing 10.

[0043] In some embodiments, the pusher assembly 11 includes a pusher block 111, a main body 112, and a connecting part 113. The pusher block 111 is located inside the cavity 101. The main body 112 is located on the side of the opening 102 away from the cavity 101 and is connected to the elastic member 12. The connecting part 113 connects the pusher block and the main body 112, and a portion of the connecting part 113 is disposed inside the opening 102.

[0044] The pusher block 111 is placed inside the cavity 101 for direct contact with the nail.

[0045] The main body 112 is located outside the housing 10 and is used to connect with the elastic member 12.

[0046] The connecting part 113 is used to connect the pusher block 111 located inside the housing 10 to the main body 112. The connecting part 113 is engaged in the opening 102, so that the pusher assembly 11 can move along the extension direction of the opening 102 (i.e., the first direction X), that is, the opening 102 provides a movement path for the pusher assembly 11.

[0047] In some embodiments, the pusher block 111 and the connecting portion 113 can be an integrally formed structure.

[0048] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a first sidewall 103 and a second sidewall 104 disposed opposite to each other, with an opening 102 formed between the edges of the first sidewall 103 and the edges of the second sidewall 104. That is, the opening 102 in this embodiment is disposed at the edges of the first sidewall 103 and the second sidewall 104, rather than on the first sidewall 103. The push pin assembly 11 is located on the same side of the first sidewall 103 and the second sidewall 104.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first sidewall 103 includes a transparent area 1031 for observing the number of nails inside the housing 10. This arrangement allows the user to observe the number of nails inside the housing 10 during nail firing with a nail gun containing the magazine 1, facilitating timely replenishment of nails.

[0050] In a specific example, the first sidewall 103 is partially a transparent area 1031, that is, the first sidewall 103 includes a transparent area 1031 and an opaque area 1032.

[0051] In other examples, the first sidewall 103 can also be a transparent area 1031 as a whole.

[0052] The transparent area 1031 of the first sidewall 103 can be an acrylic sheet.

[0053] In some embodiments, the housing 10 further includes a side plate 105, which is connected to the first side wall 103 and abuts against the main body 112. The side plate 105 can provide a certain guiding and supporting effect during the nail pushing process of the nail pusher assembly 11, so that the nail pushing movement of the nail pusher assembly 11 can be more stable and reliable.

[0054] In some embodiments, the pusher block 111 has a protrusion 114 protruding from the surface of the first sidewall 103. The first sidewall 103 has a through hole 106 penetrating the first sidewall 103, and the protrusion 114 can be engaged in the through hole 106. When the magazine 1 is being loaded, the protrusion 114 can be engaged in the through hole 106, so that the pusher assembly 11 will not move under the action of the elastic member 12, which facilitates the user's loading. After loading, the user can move the protrusion 114 away from the through hole 106, and the pusher assembly 11 can again abut against the nail under the action of the elastic member 12 and push the nail to move.

[0055] Figure 4 A side view of a magazine provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 5 for Figure 4 A cross-sectional view along line AA in the middle.

[0056] In some embodiments, the pusher assembly 11 further includes an elastic portion 115 and a button 116. The elastic portion 115 is disposed within the main body 112 and is connected to the connecting portion 113. The elastic portion 115 extends and retracts in the second direction Y to drive the protrusion of the pusher block 111 connected to the connecting portion 113 to move in the second direction Y, so that the protrusion can be engaged in the through hole 106. Part of the button 116 is located within the main body 112 and abuts against the elastic portion 115. When the magazine 1 is being loaded, the protrusion 114 is engaged in the through hole 106 under the elastic force of the elastic portion 115, so that the pusher assembly 11 will not move under the action of the elastic element 12, which facilitates the user's loading. After loading, the user can press the button 116 to compress the elastic portion 115, and the protrusion 114 will move away from the through hole 106. The pusher assembly 11 can then abut against the nail under the action of the elastic element 12 and push the nail to move.

[0057] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a magazine in a push-pin state according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 This is a front view of a magazine in the push-pin state provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 8 for Figure 7 Sectional view of the middle BB line. Figure 9 This is a front view of a magazine in its bound state, as provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 10 for Figure 9 Sectional view of the CC line. Figure 11 for Figure 9 A cross-sectional view of the DD line.

[0058] Specifically, refer to the following: Figures 6 to 8 During the nail-pushing process, the elastic part 115 is compressed, and the nail-pushing assembly 11 abuts against the nail, which can push the nail to move. (Refer to the reference...) Figure 3 , Figures 9 to 11 During the binding process, the protrusion 114 is engaged in the through hole 106, the elastic part 115 is in a stretched state, and the distance between the end face of the button 116 away from the elastic part 115 and the main body 112 during the binding process is greater than the distance between the end face of the button 116 away from the elastic part 115 and the main body 112 during the push-pin process.

[0059] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 113 has an annular post 117 with a blind hole (not identified) on the surface facing the first sidewall 103, and the main body portion 112 has a through hole 118 extending from the first sidewall 103 to the second sidewall 104. The annular post 117, the elastic portion 115, the button 116 and the screw 119 are placed in the through hole 118, and the screw 119 is placed in the blind hole. The elastic portion 115 is located on the outer periphery of the screw 119 and abuts against the button 116.

[0060] The elastic part 115 can be a spring.

[0061] One end of the elastic element 12 is connected to the housing 10, and the other end is connected to the push nail assembly 11. During the push nail process, the elastic element 12 is in a stretched state. Under the elastic force of the elastic element 12, the push nail assembly 11 pushes the nail to move.

[0062] In some embodiments, the elastic element 12 is a coil spring.

[0063] In some embodiments, the magazine 1 further includes a connector 13 that connects the housing 10 to the nail gun. A groove (not identified) is formed between the connector 13 and the housing 10, and one end of the elastic member 12 away from the nail pusher assembly 11 is engaged in the groove.

[0064] Specifically, the end of the elastic element 12 away from the push pin assembly 11 can be configured as an L-shaped hook and snapped into the slot to improve the connection stability between the elastic element 12 and the housing 10.

[0065] Understandably, the pusher assembly 11 abuts against the nail furthest from the connector 13 inside the cavity 101. When the nail enters the nail gun through the connector 13 and is ejected, the number of nails decreases. Under the action of the elastic member 12, the pusher assembly 11 pushes the nail inside the housing 10 toward the location of the connector 13.

[0066] In the above embodiment of the magazine 1, the elastic element 12 prevents dust, mud, sand and other hard impurities from directly contacting the nails through the opening 102 during nail firing, thus preventing the nails from being misaligned due to impurities entering the housing 10, thereby improving the reliability of the magazine 1.

[0067] Another embodiment of this disclosure provides a nail gun including the aforementioned magazine. The nail gun provided in another embodiment of this disclosure will be described below. It should be noted that parts that are the same as or corresponding to those in the foregoing embodiments will not be repeated here.

[0068] A nail gun is used to drive nails.

[0069] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing this disclosure, and in practical applications, various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure; therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
