Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a nail gun that is easy to maintain. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, nail guns typically use a motor that directly drives a push rod via a reduction gear to move the clamping component, thereby achieving nail clamping or driving operations. Because the power transmission link is a rigid connection, the motor and push rod experience continuous transmission. If abnormalities such as nail jamming, foreign object blockage, or push rod obstruction occur during operation, the motor will continue to run, potentially causing serious stalling problems. This can lead to motor burnout or damage to the reduction gears, reducing the overall lifespan of the machine.
[0003] In the traditional structure, if users need to perform maintenance, they must manually disassemble the motor, reduction gear, or transmission components to interrupt the power transmission link. This is not only complicated and time-consuming, but also places high demands on the user's professional operating skills, which greatly affects the practicality and maintenance efficiency of the nail gun. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nail gun that can quickly disconnect the transmission link between the motor and the swing arm when a fault occurs, so that the motor can be idled and the entire machine can be repaired without disassembling it.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A nail gun that is easy to maintain includes a gun body, a drive unit, a reduction unit, a clutch unit, a swing arm, a push rod, and a clamping component. The clamping component is located at the front of the gun body, and the drive unit is located at the rear of the gun body. The push rod is slidably mounted inside the gun body, and the front end of the push rod is connected to a clamping component; The deceleration device is located on one side of the gun body, the swing arm is located on the other side of the gun body, and the output end of the drive device is connected to the input end of the deceleration device; The clutch device includes an upper clutch, a lower clutch, and a controller. The lower clutch is connected to the output end of the deceleration device, the upper clutch is connected to a swing arm, and the other end of the swing arm is connected to a push rod. The controller is mounted on the gun body and controls the engagement or disengagement of the upper and lower clutches. When the upper clutch and the lower clutch are connected, the drive device is decelerated by the reduction device and then drives the swing arm to rotate through the clutch device. The swing arm pushes the push rod to slide back and forth so that the push rod drives the clamping component to open or close. When the upper and lower clutches are disengaged, the drive unit idles.
[0006] This invention achieves rapid separation of the transmission link by incorporating a controllable clutch device between the drive system and the actuator. In case of nail gun malfunctions such as jamming or jamming, the user can disconnect the power transmission simply by operating the controller without disassembling the motor or reduction gear, facilitating quick access to maintenance and significantly simplifying the operation process.
[0007] When the nail gun becomes abnormally clogged, the drive unit can be put into an idling state by disengaging the clutch, which effectively avoids the problems of overcurrent, overheating or even burnout caused by motor stalling, and significantly improves the safety of the equipment and the life of the motor.
[0008] The objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures: Furthermore, the controller includes a movable plate, an adjusting bolt, a pressure block, and a first spring; the lower clutch is a splined lower clutch; the output end of the reduction device is a splined shaft; the splined shaft passes through the gun body and extends toward the upper clutch direction. The lower clutch of the spline sleeve is provided with a slot. The lower clutch of the spline sleeve is sleeved on the spline shaft. The first spring is sleeved on the spline shaft. One end of the first spring abuts against the spline shaft, and the other end of the first spring abuts against the lower clutch of the spline sleeve. The first spring constitutes the reset mechanism of the lower clutch of the spline sleeve. The movable plate has a first through hole, and the movable plate is movably mounted on the gun body. The end of the movable plate is inserted into the slot of the spline sleeve clutch. The adjusting bolt passes through the first through hole and connects to the gun body. The pressure block is placed on the adjusting bolt, with one end of the pressure block abutting against the head of the adjusting bolt and the other end abutting against the movable plate. The adjustment bolt rotates to drive the pressure block to move, thereby driving the lower clutch of the spline sleeve to move, so that the lower clutch and the upper clutch of the spline sleeve are connected or disengaged.
[0009] When the user rotates and tightens the adjusting bolt, it drives the pressure block to push the movable plate, which in turn drives the lower clutch of the spline sleeve to move along the spline shaft, thereby achieving the connection or disengagement control of the upper and lower clutches. This structure is responsive, easy to adjust, and facilitates quick switching between working and maintenance states.
[0010] The lower clutch of the spline sleeve is elastically connected to the spline shaft via a first spring. After maintenance, the user can loosen the adjusting bolt to engage the lower and upper clutches of the spline sleeve. The first spring automatically resets and maintains the engagement of the lower and upper clutches, preventing them from coming loose.
[0011] The combination of the spline shaft and spline sleeve ensures the stability and accuracy of torque transmission, avoids transmission losses caused by slippage or misalignment in traditional round shaft connections, enables the swing arm to obtain stable drive, and improves the overall performance of the machine.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention utilizes a controllable clutch device between the drive system and the actuator to achieve rapid separation of the transmission link. In cases of nail gun jamming or other abnormalities, the user can disconnect the power transmission simply by operating the controllable rotating adjusting bolt, without disassembling the motor or reduction gear, facilitating quick access to maintenance and significantly simplifying the operation process.
[0013] This invention allows the drive device to idle when the nail gun becomes abnormally clogged, effectively avoiding overcurrent, overheating, or even burnout caused by motor stalling, and significantly improving the safety of the equipment and the lifespan of the motor.

[0044] Furthermore, it also includes a tension wheel assembly 10. The clamping component 7 includes a first clamping member 71 and a second clamping member 72. The first clamping member 71 and the second clamping member 72 are respectively hinged to the gun body 1. The front part of the first clamping member 71 and the front part of the second clamping member 72 form a nail clamping opening 73. A nail pushing channel 74 is formed between the rear part of the first clamping member 71 and the rear part of the second clamping member 72. The nail pushing channel 74 and the nail clamping opening 73 are connected. The tension wheel assembly 10 is placed in the nail pushing channel 74 and connected to the push rod 6.
[0045] Furthermore, it also includes an automatic nail feeding device 20. The gun body 1 has a nail inlet at the position corresponding to the nail pushing channel 74. The automatic nail feeding device 20 is installed on the gun body 1, and the nail feeding outlet of the automatic nail feeding device 20 is connected to the nail inlet.
[0046] Nail gun working principle 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.
[0047] The reason for the small size of the nail gun 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.
[0048] The anti-jamming principle of the deceleration device 3 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.
[0049] The reason why the nail gun is easy to repair via clutch device 4 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.
[0050] The principle of preventing motor 2 from stalling 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.
[0051] The principle of horizontal linear motion of the push rod 6. 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 lateral sway and jamming, and improving the accuracy and stability of linear motion.
