[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 —12:

[0031] This utility model provides a pneumatic polishing machine, which includes a housing 1, a polishing mechanism disposed at the front end of the housing 1, and an air inlet and an air outlet disposed at the rear end of the housing 1. An air inlet connector 2 is disposed at the air inlet, and a silencer 3 is disposed at the air outlet. A hinge seat is disposed at the rear end of the housing 1. The rear end of the trigger 4 and the front end of the protective cover 5 are both hinged to the hinge seat, and an avoidance window 6 is disposed on the protective cover 5 for the trigger 4 to pass through.

[0032] This invention features a hinged cover 5 on the outer casing 1. When the cover 5 is open, it facilitates the installation and removal of the air intake connector 2 or the muffler 3. When the cover 5 is closed, it provides support for the operator's hands, reducing fatigue during long hours of work and improving operational comfort. The layout of the clearance window 6 ensures that the trigger 4 is not disturbed, balancing protection and operational flexibility.

[0033] To further optimize the structure, the protective cover 5 of this utility model is hinged to the hinge seat via a hinge 7. Specifically, one end of the hinge 7 is hinged to the hinge seat, and the other end is hinged to the protective cover 5. A positioning seat is provided on the outer shell 1 at the front end of the hinge seat. When the protective cover 5 is opened, the front end of the protective cover 5 abuts against the side wall of the positioning seat adjacent to the protective cover 5, forming a stable mechanical limit to prevent the protective cover 5 from being opened excessively. This ensures that the optimal angle is maintained when disassembling or assembling the air inlet connector 2 or the muffler 3, improving operational convenience. Furthermore, the edge of the clearance window 6 located below the trigger 4 can abut against the trigger 4, restricting the downward rotation of the trigger 4 and preventing accidental start-up of the pneumatic polisher due to accidental contact, thus eliminating safety hazards. This is especially suitable for non-working states during maintenance or component replacement.

[0034] Furthermore, the positioning base includes a left positioning base 8 and a right positioning base 9 spaced apart. Guide grooves 10 are provided on adjacent side walls of the left positioning base 8 and the right positioning base 9. A limiting boss 11 is provided at the front end of the protective cover 5. Protruding posts 12 are provided on the left and right side walls of the limiting boss 11. When the protective cover 5 rotates downward to close, the protruding posts 12 enter the guide grooves 10 and move along the guide grooves 10, ensuring the stability of the movement trajectory of the protective cover. It can also prevent the protective cover 5 from detaching from the positioning base during the closing process, thereby improving the structural reliability.

[0035] Furthermore, this invention also provides an upper limit plate 13 at the top of the left positioning seat 8 and the right positioning seat 9. When the protective cover 5 is closed, the limiting boss 11 forms a rigid stop below the upper limit plate 13, completely preventing the front end of the protective cover 5 from tilting upwards, thus avoiding hand pressure (such as gripping, pressing down, etc.) during operation that could cause the protective cover to loosen or open accidentally. In high-intensity polishing operations, equipment vibration or external impact can easily cause ordinary hinged structures to loosen, while this design ensures that the protective cover is always tightly closed, improving structural reliability.

[0036] In this embodiment, the protective cover 5 includes a main cover body 14 and two side plates 15 located on both sides of the main cover body 14, forming an inverted U-shaped structure. When the protective cover 5 is closed, the air intake connector 2 and the muffler 3 are surrounded within the space formed by the protective cover 5. Hiding the air intake connector 2 and the muffler 3 enhances the overall aesthetics and industrial design quality of the polishing machine. Simultaneously, the semi-enclosed structure of the protective cover 5 effectively prevents dust and metal debris splashed during polishing from entering the air intake connector and the muffler, reducing the risk of blockage or corrosion.

[0037] It should be noted that the hinge seat includes a left hinge seat 16 and a right hinge seat 17 spaced apart. The rear end of the trigger 4 is provided with a mounting seat 18. The mounting seat 18 is provided with a hinge hole 19 and is located between the left hinge seat 16 and the right hinge seat 17. The mounting seat 18, the left hinge seat 16, and the right hinge seat 17 are connected by one or two pins to form a hinge structure.

[0038] Generally, to facilitate the reset of trigger 4, a torsion spring can be fitted onto the pin.

[0039] The mounting base 18 of this invention has two reinforcing plates on both sides, which are ribs 20. The ribs 20 abut against the edge of the clearance window 6 located below the trigger 4. As a reinforcing structure of the mounting base 18, the ribs 20 can not only improve the overall rigidity of the trigger 4, but also change the limiting angle between the trigger 4 and the guard 5.

[0040] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
