Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nailing tools, and in particular to a nail cartridge structure and a nail gun having a nail cartridge structure. Background Technology
[0002] Nail guns are widely used as essential fastening tools in industries such as construction, decoration, and furniture manufacturing. Existing nail magazine structures typically use positioning slots to position the nails, ensuring they are accurately pushed to the working position. However, with the diversification of application scenarios and increasing user demands, traditional nail magazine designs are gradually revealing some shortcomings.
[0003] First, in many existing technologies, the positioning groove is often designed to be large to accommodate nails of different sizes, thus ensuring compatibility with various nail types. While this method improves the versatility of the nail cartridge, for smaller nails, the large positioning groove can cause the nail body to skew during positioning, affecting the smoothness and accuracy of nail feeding, and may even lead to nail feeding jamming or failure.
[0004] Secondly, to address the aforementioned issues, some solutions propose improving positioning accuracy by designing uniquely sized positioning slots for each nail size. While this method effectively solves the problem of inaccurate positioning of small nails, it significantly reduces the equipment's versatility and flexibility, and increases user costs and maintenance complexity because it requires customizing different nail magazines for each nail size.

[0037] Nail guns are widely used as essential fastening tools in industries such as construction, decoration, and furniture manufacturing. Existing nail magazine structures typically use positioning slots to position the nails, ensuring they are accurately pushed to the working position. However, with the diversification of application scenarios and increasing user demands, traditional nail magazine designs are gradually revealing some shortcomings.
[0038] First, in many existing technologies, the positioning groove is often designed to be large to accommodate nails of different sizes, thus ensuring compatibility with various nail types. While this method improves the versatility of the nail cartridge, for smaller nails, the large positioning groove can cause the nail body to skew during positioning, affecting the smoothness and accuracy of nail feeding, and may even lead to nail feeding jamming or failure.
[0039] Secondly, to address the aforementioned issues, some solutions propose improving positioning accuracy by designing uniquely sized positioning slots for each nail size. While this method effectively solves the problem of inaccurate positioning of small nails, it significantly reduces the equipment's versatility and flexibility, and increases user costs and maintenance complexity because it requires customizing different nail magazines for each nail size.
[0040] Therefore, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model proposes a nail holder structure, including a holder body 100 and a nail pusher assembly 200 connected to the holder body 100. The holder body 100 can hold nails, and the nail pusher assembly 200 can push out nails. Specifically, the holder body 100 is provided with a through-hole positioning groove 101, which is used to position the nail sleeve. In some applications, nails are generally used in conjunction with nail sleeves, such as rows of nails being arranged stably at equal intervals through nail sleeves. Further, the nail pusher assembly 200 includes a sliding block 210 and a pushing block 220. The sliding block 210 is slidably disposed in the holder body 100 along the length direction of the positioning groove 101, and the pushing block 220 is slidably disposed in the sliding block 210 and can extend into the positioning groove 101 to push the nail sleeve from one end of the positioning groove 101 to the other end. In some applications, a row of nails with nail sleeves is inserted into the positioning groove 101 from one end to complete the nailing operation. Then, the nail pusher assembly 200 is run to complete the nail pushing operation. It should be noted that the housing 100 is provided with a through positioning groove 101 specifically for stable positioning of the nail sleeves, avoiding the problem of small-sized nails being misaligned due to the positioning groove 101 being too large in traditional designs. Compared with existing methods of positioning the nail body, on the one hand, the method of positioning the nail sleeve increases the outer diameter size used for positioning and mating, making the positioning effect more stable, thereby ensuring the accuracy and smoothness of the nail during the nail feeding process; on the other hand, nails of different sizes can be fitted together using nail sleeves of the same outer diameter size, thus enabling precise positioning of nails of different sizes. This design not only improves positioning accuracy but also enhances the versatility of the device, allowing one nail cartridge to accommodate various nail sizes without the need for a separate nail cartridge for each type of nail. Overall, this design greatly improves the working efficiency and reliability of the nail cartridge, reduces jamming or failures caused by inaccurate positioning, and provides users with a more stable and efficient user experience.
[0041] In some embodiments, the positioning groove positions one side of the rivet sleeve (not shown in the figure). For example, the push block extends into the positioning groove from the side of the rivet sleeve facing the sliding block, and the positioning groove positions the side of the rivet sleeve away from the sliding block. However, this design of positioning the rivet sleeve on one side can easily cause the rivet sleeve to become misaligned. (Refer to...) Figure 1In some embodiments of this utility model, the positioning groove 101 includes a first segment 1011 and a second segment 1012 arranged opposite to each other, with the first segment 1011 and the second segment 1012 respectively positioning both sides of the nail sleeve. This double-sided positioning method significantly enhances the stability of the nail sleeve during the pushing process, effectively preventing nail skewing and ensuring accurate completion of each push. Compared to a single-sided positioning design, this method not only improves positioning accuracy but also enhances the overall working efficiency and reliability of the equipment. Optionally, the positioning groove 101 has a rectangular cross-section along its length, and each opposite wall of the positioning groove 101 is provided with a clearance groove 102 to allow the nail body to pass through. This ensures accurate guidance of the nail with the nail sleeve within the positioning groove 101 and reduces jamming caused by excessive friction between the nail and the groove wall. In addition, the rectangular cross-section increases the contact area between the nail sleeve and the positioning groove 101, providing more stable support, while the clearance groove 102 allows the nail body to pass freely without affecting the normal pushing of the nail, and enables it to adapt to nails of different lengths.
[0042] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the housing 100 is provided with a limiting groove 103, the length direction of which is parallel to the length direction of the positioning groove 101. After the pushing block 220 extends into the positioning groove 101, the pushing block 220 abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 103 and slides in cooperation with the limiting groove 103. Through the precise guidance provided by the limiting groove 103, each pushing action can be completed accurately, greatly reducing the risk of operation failure and significantly improving the operating accuracy and stability of the pusher assembly 200. This ensures that the pushing block 220 always maintains linear movement during operation, avoiding unnecessary deviation or shaking. Similarly, in some embodiments of this utility model, the housing 100 is provided with a sliding groove 104, the length direction of which is parallel to the length direction of the positioning groove 101. The sliding block 210 abuts against the groove wall of the sliding groove 104 and slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 104, ensuring smooth movement of the sliding block 210 throughout the pushing process, reducing frictional resistance and improving work efficiency. It is easy to understand that the presence of the sliding groove 104 provides a stable guiding path for the sliding block 210, avoiding deviations or jamming that may occur during rapid or continuous operation, thus ensuring the accuracy and smoothness of each pushing action. Furthermore, the design of the sliding groove 104 also helps reduce maintenance frequency, as it effectively reduces friction and wear between components, extending the service life of the equipment. However, in some applications, the sliding block 210 may jam when sliding, or the push block 220 may jam when pushing the pin. For this, refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5In some other embodiments of this utility model, a ball bearing 310 is provided between the sliding block 210 and the groove wall of the sliding groove 104. The sliding block 210 and the housing 100 are in rolling engagement through the ball bearing 310, optimizing the sliding engagement between the sliding block 210 and the housing 100 into a rolling engagement, further reducing the frictional force when the sliding block 210 slides. Specifically, a ball-head plunger 300 is installed on the outer wall of the sliding block 210, and the ball-head plunger 300 is provided with the ball bearing 310. The groove wall of the sliding groove 104 has a slide rail groove 1041, and the ball bearing 310 extends at least partially into the slide rail groove 1041 and abuts against the groove wall of the slide rail groove 1041. It should be noted that the ball-head plunger 300 is a common mechanical component, usually with very high manufacturing precision, and is very suitable for applications requiring precise positioning and repeatable positioning. Furthermore, due to the use of a spherical head design, the ball-head plunger 300 can provide a low coefficient of friction when in contact with the corresponding surface, reducing wear and improving service life. Furthermore, the cooperation between the ball bearing 310 and the slide rail groove 1041 enables self-alignment. Even if there is slight misalignment during installation or use, it can still work effectively without affecting performance. Optionally, the slide rail groove 1041 is a V-shaped groove, and the ball bearing 310 with a circular cross-section has a positioning and centering function. During use, the ball bearing 310 abuts against the opposite groove wall of the V-shaped groove. Optionally, there is one slide rail groove 1041, which can be disposed on one side wall of the sliding groove 104. In other embodiments, there are multiple slide rail grooves 1041, which are spaced apart on the same side wall of the sliding groove 104. Correspondingly, multiple ball plungers 300 are installed on the same side outer wall of the sliding block 210. It is easy to understand that in still some embodiments, there are two slide rail grooves 1041, which are respectively disposed on the two side walls of the sliding groove 104. Correspondingly, ball plungers 300 are installed on both sides outer walls of the sliding block 210.
[0043] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments of this utility model, the housing 100 is provided with a channel groove 105, and the push block 220 is adapted for the user to press and drive into the channel groove 105 and slide in the positioning groove 101. Furthermore, an elastic element (not shown in the figure) is provided between the push block 220 and the sliding block 210. The elastic element can drive the push block 220 to disengage from the positioning groove 101 and drive the groove wall of the channel groove 105 to abut and limit the push block 220. Overall, this greatly improves the intuitiveness and ease of operation, allowing the user to directly control the movement of the push block 220 to achieve precise nail pushing. This not only improves the user's operating experience but also ensures the accuracy and consistency of each pushing action. Further, in some embodiments of this utility model, the nail pushing assembly 200 includes a coil spring 230, which is disposed on the end face of the housing 100. The coil spring 230 is used to pull the sliding block 210 along the length direction of the positioning groove 101 and cooperates with the push block 220 to push out the nail sleeve. Because the coil spring 230 can provide continuous and uniform force, it ensures that each push has the same force and effect, significantly improving the smoothness and response speed of the push process, making the push operation smoother and more efficient, and improving the consistency and stability of the operation.
[0044] It should be noted that existing coil springs are generally located on the side of the housing, such as on the side wall of the sliding groove (not shown in the figure), which results in poor visibility and makes cleaning extremely inconvenient for users. Therefore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the coil spring 230 is located on the end face of the housing 100, such as on the end face of the sliding groove 104, making it easier for users to inspect and clean accumulated dust, making maintenance more convenient and faster. This not only enhances the reliability and durability of the equipment but also improves the user experience.
[0045] In some applications, the user pulls the sliding block 210 to align the pushing block 220 with the channel groove 105. Then, a row of nails with nail sleeves is inserted into the positioning groove 101. Next, the user presses the pushing block 220 to extend it into the positioning groove 101. Under the contraction of the coil spring 230, the pushing block 220 pushes the row of nails to perform a nail ejection operation. After completion, the user pulls the sliding block 210 to align the pushing block 220 with the channel groove 105. Under the action of the elastic element, the pushing block 220 disengages from the positioning groove 101, and the groove wall of the channel groove 105 abuts against and limits the pushing block 220, awaiting the user's next pressing operation.
[0046] Optionally, the housing 100 is made of steel, giving it higher strength and durability, enabling it to operate stably for extended periods in harsh working environments without easily being damaged. The high-strength steel housing 100 can withstand significant pressure and impact, effectively resisting wear and corrosion, thus extending the equipment's service life. Furthermore, the excellent machinability of steel facilitates the manufacture of precision positioning grooves 101, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the entire nail box structure. In addition, the robust nature of the steel housing 100 ensures that the equipment maintains excellent performance even under high load conditions. Similarly, the push block 220 is made of steel, ensuring sufficient hardness and wear resistance, allowing it to maintain good working condition during frequent use and preventing deformation or wear. It is easy to understand that the high-strength steel push block 220 can provide more stable support when pushing nails, reducing the failure rate caused by component fatigue or damage. At the same time, the steel push block 220 is matched with the steel housing 100, ensuring good contact and sliding performance between the two, further improving the overall performance and service life of the equipment.
[0047] The nail gun according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a nail magazine structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Integrating the optimized nail magazine structure into the nail gun achieves a more efficient and precise nail feeding function. This design not only inherits the aforementioned technical advantages such as precise positioning, high versatility, and ease of maintenance, but also greatly simplifies the user's operating process and improves work efficiency. The nail gun can adapt to various nail sizes, meeting the needs of different application scenarios, providing users with a more reliable and flexible solution, and significantly improving the user experience and satisfaction. Overall, this integrated design not only expands the functionality of the nail gun but also enhances its market competitiveness.
