Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a swing arm structure with resistance absorption. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, nail guns are widely used in industries such as woodworking, decoration, and manufacturing. Their structure typically includes a motor drive, a transmission mechanism, a push rod, and a clamping component. The motor drives a swing arm through a reduction gear, which in turn pushes the push rod to move back and forth, causing the clamping component to clamp or release the nail.

[0003] However, in actual use, the clamping components often encounter significant resistance when clamping large or complex-shaped objects, causing the swing arm to be unable to continue pushing the push rod forward. In this situation, the motor continues to output power, but due to the obstruction of the push rod and its limited movement, the motor is prone to stalling, resulting in an abnormal increase in current, which in turn causes overcurrent, overheating, and even damage to the motor, affecting the overall reliability and service life of the nail gun. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a swing arm structure with resistance absorption that can achieve stress buffering by compressing the second spring through the sliding block when the swing arm is obstructed.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] A swing arm structure with resistance absorption includes an arm body, a second spring, and a sliding block. The arm body has a sliding groove, the second spring and the sliding block are placed in the sliding groove, one end of the second spring abuts against the inner wall of the sliding groove, the other end of the second spring abuts against the sliding block, the second spring constitutes a reset mechanism for the sliding block, and the lower end of the sliding block extends outward to form a sliding part.

[0007] When the swing arm encounters external resistance (such as clamping a large object) during the push rod process, causing the push rod to be unable to continue moving forward, the sliding block can slide along the sliding groove under the action of the second spring. The second spring is compressed, thereby absorbing part of the resistance and preventing the thrust from being directly transmitted to the motor, thus preventing the motor from stalling, overcurrent, or being damaged.

[0008] This structure not only improves the reliability and safety of motor operation but also significantly extends the overall service life of the nail gun. Furthermore, the second spring, acting as a reset mechanism, automatically resets the sliding block after the load is released, giving the structure excellent self-recovery capabilities and enhancing the system's stability and practicality.

[0009] The objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures:

[0010] Furthermore, a connection port for connecting the output shaft is opened on one side of the arm body, and the sliding groove is opened on the other side of the arm body.

[0011] A connection port for connecting the output shaft is provided on one side of the boom, which facilitates direct connection between the boom and the drive system (such as a motor or reduction gear) to achieve efficient power transmission. The sliding groove is located on the other side of the boom, which effectively separates the transmission structure and the resistance absorption structure, avoids interference, makes the mechanism layout more reasonable, is conducive to compact structure and installation and maintenance, and improves overall stability and operational reliability.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a cover and a bolt, the cover being disposed on the surface of the arm to cover the sliding groove, and the bolt passing through the cover to lock the arm.

[0013] By covering the sliding groove with a shield, foreign objects (such as dust, wood chips, or nail fragments) can be effectively prevented from entering the sliding groove, ensuring smooth sliding of the sliding blocks within the groove and maintaining the sensitivity and efficiency of the resistance absorption structure. Bolts securely lock the shield to the boom body, facilitating subsequent disassembly and maintenance, and improving maintenance convenience and service life.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In this invention, when the swing arm encounters external resistance (such as clamping a large object) during the pushing process of the push rod, causing the push rod to be unable to continue moving forward, the sliding block can slide along the sliding groove under the action of the second spring. The second spring is compressed, thereby absorbing part of the resistance, avoiding the thrust being directly transmitted to the motor, and preventing the motor from stalling, overcurrent, or being damaged.

[0016] This invention effectively prevents foreign objects (such as dust, wood chips, or nail fragments) from entering the sliding groove by setting a cover to cover the sliding groove, ensuring that the sliding block slides smoothly in the groove and maintaining the sensitivity and working efficiency of the resistance absorption structure.

[0065] Nail gun working principle

[0066] When the motor 2 drives the worm 21 to rotate, the worm 21 meshes with the worm wheel 32 in the reduction gear 3, and is further reduced in speed by the planetary gear 34 and the sun gear 33, and is connected to the swing arm 5 through the upper clutch 41 and the lower clutch. When the swing arm 5 rotates, the sliding block 54 at its lower end slides up and down in the vertical guide groove of the guide block 8. This vertical motion is converted into a horizontal thrust by the guide block 8, which pushes the push rod 6 back and forth, thereby driving the clamping component 7 at the front end to open and close, clamping or releasing the C-shaped nail bundle. At the moment of clamping open, the automatic nail feeding device 20 pushes the next nail into the channel to complete continuous nailing.

[0067] The reason for the small size of the nail gun

[0068] The motor 2 is installed at an angle at the rear of the gun body 1. The worm 21 directly meshes with the worm wheel 32, eliminating the horizontal and axial occupancy of traditional horizontal or multi-stage spur and helical gears. The reduction device 3 adopts a set of planetary and sun gears 33, and the worm 21 and worm wheel 32 are respectively placed in the double-connected cavity of the housing 31. This optimizes the three-dimensional spatial layout and compresses the radial and axial dimensions, realizing the miniaturization design of the nail gun.

[0069] The anti-jamming principle of the deceleration device 3

[0070] The diameter of the centering wheel 35 is larger than that of the planetary gear 34. The centering wheel 35 is in close contact with the inner wall of the worm gear 32 to achieve radial constraint on the planetary gear 34. The planetary gear 34 maintains a preset clearance with the internal gear and the sun gear 33, allowing thermal expansion and vibration to shift without changing the meshing clearance, thus avoiding jamming due to eccentricity or thermal expansion causing the tooth clearance to become smaller.

[0071] The reason why the nail gun is easy to repair via clutch device 4

[0072] Users can disengage or engage the clutch device 4 without additional tools by rotating the adjusting bolt 432 on the outside of the gun body 1. Once disengaged, the swing arm 5 and push rod 6 can be quickly removed for inspection or replacement without disassembling the reduction gear 3 or motor 2, greatly shortening maintenance time and making operation simpler and more intuitive.

[0073] The principle of preventing motor 2 from stalling

[0074] When the push rod 6 encounters resistance while moving forward, the sliding block 54 compresses the second spring 53, and the swing arm 5 continues to rotate instead of rigidly driving the push rod 6, thereby eliminating the overload torque and preventing the motor 2 from experiencing instantaneous overcurrent or overheating due to stall, thus achieving mechanical overload protection for the motor 2.

[0075] The principle of horizontal linear motion of the push rod 6.

[0076] The guide block 8 on the push rod 6 is connected to the slider 92. The slider 92 slides along the length of the slide rail 91, thereby ensuring that the push rod 6 moves only in a predetermined horizontal direction, eliminating side sway and jamming, and improving the accuracy and stability of linear motion.
