They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a safety guard for a chainsaw includes: a chainsaw body 1, which serves as the core main body of the entire chainsaw, providing the installation foundation and power source for other components, and is a key execution component for the chainsaw to perform cutting operations; a support frame plate 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the upper part of the chainsaw body 1, and a multi-level protective cover mechanism 3 is provided on the top of the support frame plate 2, which supports and fixes the multi-level protective cover mechanism 3; a fixed spool 4 is provided at the front end of the multi-level protective cover mechanism 3; and a retractable mechanism 5 is provided at the other end of the upper part of the chainsaw body 1.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The chainsaw body 1 has a retractable folding sleeve 6 that is movably inserted into the front. A fixing block 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the retractable folding sleeve 6. A connecting guide rod 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front of the fixing block 7. A sliding block 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the retractable folding sleeve 6. When the chainsaw body 1 is not in use, the sliding block 9 is pushed to slide on the connecting guide rod 8, which causes the retractable folding sleeve 6 to unfold until the front end of the retractable folding sleeve 6 is inserted into the front of the chainsaw body 1. This completely covers the exposed saw chain, preventing people from accidentally touching the sharp saw teeth when the chain is not in use, reducing the risk of cuts. At the same time, it prevents dust, wood chips and other debris from adhering to the saw teeth, reducing the possibility of chain rusting and jamming.

[0025] The connecting guide rod 8 is internally threaded with a threaded rod 10. One end of the threaded rod 10 is fixedly connected to a handle block 11, and one end of the handle block 11 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 2 12. The sliding block 9 is slidably connected to the connecting guide rod 8, and the threaded rod 2 12 is threadedly connected to the chainsaw body 1. By rotating the handle block 11, the threaded rod 10 is partially unscrewed from the connecting guide rod 8, and the threaded rod 2 12 rotates forward synchronously until it is partially connected to the chainsaw body 1. This allows for quick installation of the retractable folding sleeve 6, which is easy to operate. When disassembling, rotating the handle block 11 in the opposite direction causes the sliding block 9 to slide, causing the retractable folding sleeve 6 to retract for easy storage.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The multi-level protective cover mechanism 3 includes an arc-shaped storage cover plate 301, a first return spring 302, a first-level arc-shaped protective cover plate 303, and a second return spring 304. The arc-shaped storage cover plate 301 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame plate 2. The first return spring 302 is fixedly connected to the inside of the arc-shaped storage cover plate 301. The first-level arc-shaped protective cover plate 303 is slidably connected to the inside of the arc-shaped storage cover plate 301. The second return spring 304 is fixedly connected to the inside of the first-level arc-shaped protective cover plate 303.

[0027] The system includes a secondary arc-shaped protective plate 305, a third return spring 306, a tertiary arc-shaped protective plate 307, a fourth return spring 308, and a front arc-shaped protective plate 309. The secondary arc-shaped protective plate 305 is slidably connected to the inner side of the primary arc-shaped protective plate 303. The third return spring 306 is fixedly connected to the inside of the secondary arc-shaped protective plate 305. The tertiary arc-shaped protective plate 307 is slidably connected to the inner side of the secondary arc-shaped protective plate 305. The fourth return spring 308 is fixedly connected to the inside of the tertiary arc-shaped protective plate 307. The front arc-shaped protective plate 309 is slidably connected to the inner side of the tertiary arc-shaped protective plate 307. The fixed spool 4 is fixedly connected to the front arc-shaped protective plate 309.

[0028] The other end of the return spring 302 is fixedly connected to the first-stage arc-shaped protective plate 303, the other end of the return spring 304 is fixedly connected to the second-stage arc-shaped protective plate 305, the other end of the return spring 306 is fixedly connected to the third-stage arc-shaped protective plate 307, and the other end of the return spring 308 is fixedly connected to the front arc-shaped protective plate 309. In use, the return springs 302, 304, 306, and 308 are in their normal state, pushing the corresponding first-stage arc-shaped protective plate 303, second-stage arc-shaped protective plate 305, third-stage arc-shaped protective plate 307, and front arc-shaped protective plate 309 outward to form the maximum protection range. The front arc-shaped protective plate 309 extends to the top of the saw chain front end, thus forming a protective barrier covering the entire working area of ​​the saw chain during use. This effectively blocks the risks of sawdust flying and accidental contact with the saw chain, significantly improving the safety of the operator.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The take-up and take-down mechanism 5 includes a baffle 501, a bracket 502 and a wire roller 503. The baffle 501 is fixedly connected to the other end of the top of the chainsaw body 1, the bracket 502 is fixedly connected to the middle of the back of the baffle 501, and the wire roller 503 is rotatably connected to one end of the bracket 502.

[0030] The line body 504 and the motor 505 are fixedly connected to one end of the fixed spool 4, and the motor 505 is fixedly connected to one end of the bracket 502.

[0031] The other end of the wire body 504 passes through the baffle 501 and is fixedly connected to the wire roller 503. The output end of the motor 505 is fixedly connected to the wire roller 503. When facing different cutting operation situations, to avoid the protective cover from affecting the cutting operation, there is no need to manually disassemble the protective cover. The wire roller 503 can be driven to rotate by starting the motor 505, so that the wire roller 503 winds the wire body 504, pulling the fixed wire shaft 4 towards the arc-shaped storage protective cover plate 301. The front arc-shaped protective cover plate 309 overcomes the thrust of the return spring 4 308 and retracts into the three-stage arc-shaped protective cover plate 307. The arc-shaped protective plate 307 overcomes the thrust of the return spring 306 and retracts into the secondary arc-shaped protective plate 305. This process continues until all protective plates retract into the arc-shaped storage protective plate 301. This allows for quick switching of states, saving adjustment time. It is especially suitable for precision operation scenarios that require frequent adjustment of cutting angles or observation of cuts. The motor 505 rotates in the reverse direction to release the line 504. Each set of springs pushes the protective plates at each level to automatically rebound and unfold. This hierarchical linkage and line transmission reduces mechanical complexity and improves the system's durability in harsh environments.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] Step 1: With return springs 302, 304, 306, and 4 in their normal positions, the corresponding primary arc-shaped protective plates 303, 305, 307, and front arc-shaped protective plate 309 are pushed outwards to form the maximum protection range. The front arc-shaped protective plate 309 extends above the front end of the saw chain, thus forming a protective barrier covering the entire working area of ​​the saw chain during use. This effectively blocks the risks of sawdust splashing and accidental contact with the saw chain, significantly improving operator safety. In different cutting situations, to avoid the protective plate affecting the cutting operation, there is no need to manually disassemble the protective plate. The motor 505 can be started to drive the wire roller 503 to rotate, causing the wire roller 503 to wind the wire body 504, pulling the fixed wire spool 4 towards the arc-shaped storage protective plate 301. The arc-shaped protective plate 309 overcomes the thrust of the return spring 308 and retracts into the third-level arc-shaped protective plate 307. The third-level arc-shaped protective plate 307 overcomes the thrust of the return spring 306 and retracts into the second-level arc-shaped protective plate 305, and so on, until all protective plates are retracted into the arc-shaped storage protective plate 301. This allows for quick switching of states, saving adjustment time. It is especially suitable for fine operation scenarios that require frequent adjustment of cutting angles or observation of cuts. The motor 505 rotates in the reverse direction to release the line 504. Each set of springs pushes the protective plates at each level to automatically rebound and unfold. This hierarchical linkage and line transmission reduces mechanical complexity and improves the durability of the system in harsh environments. Moreover, this method is not limited to full unfolding or full retraction. The length of the retraction of the line 504 can be controlled by the rotation of the motor 505 to achieve selective retraction of some levels, thereby achieving flexible adjustment.

[0034] Step two: When the chainsaw body 1 is not in use, push the sliding block 9 to slide it onto the connecting guide rod 8, causing the retractable folding sleeve 6 to unfold until the front end of the retractable folding sleeve 6 is inserted into the front of the chainsaw body 1. This completely covers the exposed saw chain, preventing personnel from accidentally touching the sharp teeth when not in use, reducing the risk of cuts. It also prevents dust, sawdust, and other debris from adhering to the saw teeth, reducing the possibility of chain rusting and jamming, and minimizing collisions between the saw chain and other objects during transportation or storage, protecting the sharpness of the saw teeth and extending the life of the saw chain. Then, turn the handle block 11 to rotate the threaded rod 10 out of the connecting guide rod 8. At the same time, the threaded rod 12 rotates forward until it is partially connected to the chainsaw body 1. This quickly completes the installation of the retractable folding sleeve 6, which is easy to operate. To disassemble, rotate the handle block 11 in the opposite direction, and slide the sliding block 9 to retract the retractable folding sleeve 6 for easy storage.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
