Specifically, in some embodiments, when the first planetary gear unit 31 disengages from the first fitting structure 21, the second planetary gear unit 32 meshes with the second fitting structure 22, and the impact unit 20 causes the energy storage unit 10 to store energy. In other embodiments, when the second planetary gear unit 32 meshes with the second fitting structure 22, the first planetary gear unit 31 has not yet disengaged from the first fitting structure 21, and after a certain operation, the first planetary gear unit 31 disengages from the first fitting structure 21, and the second planetary gear unit 32 continues to mesh with the second fitting structure 22 and the impact unit 20 causes the energy storage unit 10 to store energy.

[0018] The first planetary gear unit 31 includes a fixed first internal gear ring 311, a first planetary gear 312 that revolves around the first internal gear ring 311, a first propulsion structure 313 connected to the first planetary gear 312, and a first crank 314 connected to the output shaft 43 and rotatable together with the output shaft 43. The second planetary gear unit 32 includes a fixed second internal gear ring 321, a second planetary gear 322 that revolves around the second internal gear ring 321, a second propulsion structure 323 connected to the second planetary gear 322, and a second crank 324 connected to the output shaft 43 and rotatable together with the output shaft 43. The first planetary gear 312 meshes with the first internal gear ring 311, and the second planetary gear 322 meshes with the second internal gear ring 321. The first planetary gear 312 is connected to the first crank 314 in a rotatable manner and can move together with the first crank 314. The second planetary gear 322 is also connected to the second crank 324 in a rotatable manner and can move together with the second crank 324. The first propulsion structure 313 rotates as the first planetary gear 312 rotates, and the second propulsion structure 323 rotates as the second planetary gear 322 rotates. The first propulsion structure 313 meshes with the first fitting structure 21 to move the impact portion 20 along the second direction Y by a first stroke, and the second propulsion structure 323 meshes with the second fitting structure 22 to move the impact portion 20 along the second direction Y by a second stroke. By adding the first stroke and the second stroke, one complete stroke is formed. The ratio of the number of teeth of the first internal gear ring 311 to the number of teeth of the first planetary gear 312 is 3:1, and the ratio of the number of teeth of the second internal gear ring 321 to the number of teeth of the second planetary gear 322 is also 3:1. The first crank 314 includes a first crankshaft 315, and the second crank 324 includes a second crankshaft 325. The first planetary gear 312 is attached to the first crankshaft 315 in a rotatable manner, and the second planetary gear 322 is attached to the second crankshaft 325 in a rotatable manner. A line connecting the center of the first crankshaft 315 and the center of the output shaft 43 is defined as the first line, and a line connecting the center of the second crankshaft 325 and the center of the output shaft 43 is defined as the second line. The angle between the projection of the first line in the extension direction of the output shaft 43 and the projection of the second line in the extension direction of the output shaft 43 is 120°.

[0019] Define the fitting area between the first propulsion structure 313 and the first fitting structure 21 as the first fitting area, and define the fitting area between the second propulsion structure 323 and the second fitting structure 22 as the second fitting area. Define the projection of the first fitting area in the extension direction of the impact rod 23 as the first projection, and define the projection of the second fitting area in the extension direction of the impact rod 23 as the second projection. The first projection and the second projection do not overlap. The first fitting structure 21 can be implemented as the first tooth, and the second fitting structure 22 can be implemented as the second tooth. The projection of the first tooth in the extension direction of the impact rod 23 and the projection of the second tooth in the extension direction of the impact rod 23 do not overlap or partially overlap. By designing in this way, the first propulsion structure 313 of the first planetary gear part 31 can only be fitted with the first fitting structure 21 of the impact part 20, and the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear part 32 can only be fitted with the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20, so they are independent of each other and do not interfere. The first fitting structure 21 can be implemented as the first tooth, and the second fitting structure 22 can be implemented as the second tooth. In this embodiment, the first tooth is attached to the impact rod 23 by a method of positioning with a cylindrical pin and fixing with a screw, and the second tooth is integrally formed with the impact rod 23. In other embodiments, the first tooth and the second tooth may be integrally formed with the impact rod 23.

[0020] The support part 50 further includes an upper cover 53 and a base 54, and the output shaft 43 is located between the upper cover 53 and the base 54. Both ends of the output shaft 43 are supported by a first bearing 61 and a second bearing 62 respectively. Specifically, the first end of the output shaft 43 is supported by the first bearing 61, and the first bearing 61 is supported between the upper cover 53 and the first end of the output shaft 43. The second end of the output shaft 43 is supported by the second bearing 62, and the second bearing 62 is supported between the base 54 and the second end of the output shaft 43. Note that the gear transmission mechanism 42 is not essential. When the torque of the motor 41 is large enough, the motor shaft can be directly used as the output shaft 43.

[0021] The first internal gear ring 311 and the second internal gear ring 321 are both fixedly arranged within the accommodation space surrounded by the base 54 and the upper cover 53. The first internal gear ring 311 and the second internal gear ring 321 are arranged relatively along the axial direction of the output shaft 43. The first propulsion structure 313 is eccentrically connected to the first planetary gear 312 and protrudes toward the side close to the second internal gear ring 321 of the first planetary gear 312. The second propulsion structure 323 is eccentrically connected to the second planetary gear 322 and protrudes toward the side close to the first internal gear ring 311 of the second planetary gear 322.

[0022] The first propulsion structure 313 includes a first pin shaft 316 and a first bearing 317 mounted on the first pin shaft 316. The second propulsion structure 323 includes a second pin shaft 326 and a second bearing 327 mounted on the second pin shaft 326. The first pin shaft 316 is eccentrically connected to the first planetary gear 312, and the second pin shaft 326 is eccentrically connected to the second planetary gear 322. When the first fitting structure 21 and the second fitting structure 22 are the first teeth and the second teeth respectively, the first propulsion structure 313 meshes with the first teeth, and the second propulsion structure 323 meshes with the second teeth. When the first fitting structure 21 and the second fitting structure 22 are the first groove and the second groove respectively, the first propulsion structure 313 fits with the first groove, and the second propulsion structure 323 fits with the second groove. By installing bearings, the frictional force when the propulsion structure and the fitting structure fit together can be reduced, but it is not essential for realizing the function.

[0023] The fastener driving machine further includes a support mechanism 70 installed between the first planetary gear unit 31 and the second planetary gear unit 32. The support mechanism 70 is attached to the output shaft 43 and is in contact with the first planetary gear 312 and the second planetary gear 322. Specifically, the support mechanism 70 includes a spring 75, a first pressing ring 71, a second pressing ring 72, a first support ring 73, and a second support ring 74. The spring 75, the first pressing ring 71, the second pressing ring 72, the first support ring 73, and the second support ring 74 are all mounted on the output shaft 43. The spring 75 is disposed between the first pressing ring 71 and the second pressing ring 72. The side of the first pressing ring 71 away from the spring 75 is in contact with the first planetary gear 312. The side of the second pressing ring 72 away from the spring 75 is in contact with the second planetary gear 322. The first pressing ring 71 is supported between the spring 75 and the first support ring 73, and the second pressing ring 72 is supported between the spring 75 and the second support ring 74. By installing the first pressing ring 71, the second pressing ring 72, and the spring 75, it is possible to prevent the planetary gear from axially falling off from the crankshaft. The first support ring 73 supports the first pressing ring 71, and the second support ring 74 supports the second pressing ring 72.

[0024] The fastener driving machine further includes a buffer member 80, and the buffer member 80 is installed between the piston 12 and the base 54. When the piston 12 is not driven by the impact portion 20, the piston 12 is in close contact with the buffer member 80. At this time, the position where the impact portion 20 is located is called the bottom dead center. When the piston 12 is driven to the limit position by the impact portion 20, the position where the impact portion 20 is located is called the top dead center.

[0025] Referring to the states a, b, c, d, e, and f shown in FIG. 8, these states a to f correspond to one working cycle.

[0026] State a is the initial state of the entire working cycle, and the impact part 20 is in the preload position. The impact part 20 drives the piston 12 to compress the energy storage part 10. The second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear part 32 meshes with the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20, and the first propulsion structure 313 of the first planetary gear part 31 does not mesh with the first fitting structure 21 of the impact part 20. When the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the first crank 314 and the second crank 324 rotate, and the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear part 32 continues to push the impact part 20, and the impact part 20 drives the piston 12 to reach state b. At this time, the impact part 20 is located at the top dead center.

[0027] When the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear part 32 disengages from the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20, and the impact part 20 drives the fastening member to drive the workpiece along the first direction X under the action of the impact energy released by the energy storage part 10. At this time, the piston 12 reaches the bottom dead center and is in close contact with the buffer member 80 (state c).

[0028] When the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the first propulsion structure 313 of the first planetary gear part 31 does not mesh with the first fitting structure 21 of the impact part 20, and the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear part 32 also does not mesh with the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20. After a certain angle of free rotation, the first propulsion structure 313 of the first planetary gear part 31 begins to mesh with the first fitting structure 21 of the impact part 20 (state d).

[0029] When the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the first propulsion structure 313 of the first planetary gear part 31 pushes the impact part 20, and the impact part 20 drives the piston 12. In state e, the first propulsion structure 313 of the first planetary gear part 31 disengages from the first fitting structure 21 of the impact part 20, and the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear part 32 begins to mesh with the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20.

[0030] When the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the first propulsion structure 313 of the first planetary gear unit 31 disengages from the first fitting structure 21 of the impact part 20, and the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear unit 32 engages with the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20 to alternately push the impact part 20, and the impact part 20 drives the piston 12 (state f).

[0031] When the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear unit 32 engages with the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20, returns the impact part 20 to the preloading position, and completes one working cycle.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 9, when the output shaft 43 rotates counterclockwise and the first crank 314 and the second crank 324 rotate, the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear unit 32 continuously pushes the impact part 20, and the impact part 20 drives the piston 12 to reach state b. At this time, the impact part 20 is located at the top dead center.

[0033] When the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear unit 32 disengages from the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20, and the impact part 20 drives the fastening member into the workpiece along the first direction X under the action of the impact energy released by the energy storage part 10. However, if the nail gets stuck for some reason, the fastening member may get stuck inside the fastening member guide plate 51, and the impact part 20 may stop at an arbitrary position along the first direction X (state g).

[0034] After the jamming occurs, when the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the first propulsion structure 313 of the first planetary gear unit 31 reaches the position of the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20 (state h). Since the first propulsion structure 313 and the second fitting structure 22 are arranged at different positions in the axial direction of the output shaft 43, the first propulsion structure 313 and the second fitting structure 22 cannot engage. At this time, the first planetary gear unit 31 and the second planetary gear unit 32 are still in the free rotation state.

[0035] When the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear unit 32 reaches the position of the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20, and the second propulsion structure 323 starts to mesh with the second fitting structure 22 (state i).

[0036] When the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear unit 32 meshes with the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20, pushing the impact part 20 to drive the piston 12 (state j).

[0037] When the output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear unit 32 meshes with the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20, returning the impact part 20 to the preloading position and returning to the initial state a.

[0038] In this embodiment, the drive unit 30 includes a first planetary gear unit 31 and a second planetary gear unit 32 distributed along the axial direction of the output shaft 43. The first propulsion structure 313 of the first planetary gear unit 31 can only mesh with the first fitting structure 21 of the impact part 20, and the second propulsion structure 323 of the second planetary gear unit 32 can only mesh with the second fitting structure 22 of the impact part 20. These are independent of each other, do not interfere with each other, and no meshing errors or jams will occur.

[0039] Please refer to FIGS. 10 to 17.

The energy storage process of the energy storage part 10 includes a first stage and a second stage. In the first stage, the first meshing structure 31 meshes with the first fitting structure 21, and the impact part 20 causes the energy storage part 10 to store energy. In the second stage, the first meshing structure 31 separates from the first fitting structure 21, the second meshing structure 32 meshes with the second fitting structure 22, and the impact part 20 causes the energy storage part 10 to store energy.

[0042] Specifically, in the first stage, the first meshing structure 31 meshes with the first fitting structure 21, and the driving part 30 drives the impact part 20 along the second direction Y. In the second stage, the first meshing structure 31 separates from the first fitting structure 21, the second meshing structure 32 meshes with the second fitting structure 22, and the driving part 30 drives the impact part 20 along the second direction Y. The first meshing structure 31 can be implemented as a first cam, and the second meshing structure 32 can be implemented as a second cam. The first fitting structure 21 can be implemented as a first pin shaft, and the second fitting structure 22 can be implemented as a second pin shaft. The first fitting structure 21 and the second fitting structure 22 are attached to the base 230. The first meshing structure 31 meshes with the first fitting structure 21, and the second meshing structure 32 meshes with the second fitting structure 22.

[0043] The first meshing mechanism 33 further includes an output shaft 43. Both the first meshing structure 31 and the second meshing structure 32 are attached to the output shaft 43 and rotate together with the output shaft 43. The output shaft 43 penetrates at least a part of the first meshing structure 31 and the second meshing structure 32. The first meshing structure 31 and the second meshing structure 32 are arranged offset along the axial direction of the output shaft 43.

[0044] The first meshing structure 31 periodically meshes with or separates from the first fitting structure 21 as the output shaft 43 rotates. Similarly, the second meshing structure 32 periodically meshes with or separates from the second fitting structure 22 as the output shaft 43 rotates. In one rotation cycle of the output shaft 43, the rotation angle during the process in which the first meshing structure 31 maintains meshing with the first fitting structure 21 is less than 180°, and the rotation angle during the process in which the second meshing structure 32 maintains meshing with the second fitting structure 22 is also less than 180°.

[0045] The energy storage unit 10 includes a spring 11, a partition plate 12, and a tail cover 13. The spring 11 is disposed between the tail cover 13 and the partition plate 12. The partition plate 12 is fixed within the machine housing 101. The spring 11 has a fixed end 111 and a movable end 112. The movable end 112 is movable relative to the fixed end 111. The fixed end 111 of the spring 11 is fixed to the partition plate 12, and the movable end 112 is accommodated in the accommodation space 130 formed by the tail cover 13.

[0046] The transmission unit 50 includes a conveyor belt 51 and two fixed pulleys 52. The two fixed pulleys 52 are attached to the machine housing 101, and the conveyor belt 51 is attached to the two fixed pulleys 52. The conveyor belt 51 is connected between the drive wheel 25 of the impact unit 20 and the tail cover 13 of the energy storage unit 10.

[0047] The fastening member driving machine 100 includes a first base 91 and a second base 92 attached within the machine housing 101. Further, the fastening member driving machine 100 includes a first buffer member 93 installed in the first base 91 and a second buffer member 94 installed in the second base 92. After the impact unit 20 moves along the first direction X and drives the fastening member into the workpiece, the impact unit 20 collides with the first buffer member 93, and the tail cover 13 collides with the second buffer member 94.

[0048] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 17, the operating principle of the fastening member driving machine 100 in this embodiment will be described. The states a, b, c, and d shown in FIG. 17 correspond to one working cycle.

[0049] When the output shaft 43 rotates counterclockwise and reaches the position shown in state a, at this time, the first meshing structure 31 of the first meshing mechanism 33 of the driving part 30 is in a state just before meshing with the first fitting structure 21 of the second meshing mechanism 23 of the impact part 20. When the output shaft 43 rotates further counterclockwise, the first meshing structure 31 meshes with the first fitting structure 21, and the driving part 30 drives the impact part 20 along the second direction Y. The impact part 20 applies a force to the transmission belt 51 in the second direction Y. The transmission belt 51 applies a force along the first direction X to the movable end 112 of the spring 11 of the energy storage part 10 via the fixed pulley 52, compressing the spring 11 in the first direction X (the movable end 112 of the spring 11 moves in the first direction X, the fixed end 111 of the spring 11 is connected to the partition plate 12, and the partition plate 12 is fixed to the machine housing 101). When the output shaft 43 rotates further counterclockwise, the second meshing structure 32 of the first meshing mechanism 33 of the driving part 30 meshes with the second fitting structure 22 of the second meshing mechanism 23 of the impact part 20, and the first meshing structure 31 releases the meshing with the first fitting structure 21 (state b). The driving part 30 continues to drive the impact part 20 along the second direction Y, and the impact part 20 continues to apply a force along the first direction X to the movable end 112 of the spring 11 of the energy storage part 10 via the transmission part 50, further compressing the spring 11 in the first direction X.

[0050] When the output shaft 43 rotates further counterclockwise, the second meshing structure 32 meshes with the second fitting structure 22, and the driving part 30 drives the impact part 20 to the top dead center (state c). At the same time, the impact part 20 compresses the spring 11 in the first direction X via the transmission part 50 to complete the energy storage. When the output shaft 43 rotates further counterclockwise, the second meshing structure 32 releases the meshing with the second fitting structure 22, and the spring 11 extends in the second direction Y. Due to this extension, a force along the second direction Y is applied to the transmission belt 51, and the transmission belt 51 applies a force along the first direction X to the impact part 20 via the fixed pulley 52, causing the impact part 20 to move along the first direction X to complete the operation of driving the fastening member.

[0051] After the driving operation of the fastening member is completed, the impact portion 20 collides with the first buffer member 93, and the tail cover 13 connected to the movable end 112 of the spring 11 collides with the second buffer member 94. The first buffer member 93 absorbs the residual energy of the impact portion 20, and the second buffer member 94 absorbs the residual energy of the energy storage portion 10 (state d). The output shaft 43 further rotates counterclockwise, and after rotating a certain angle, the first meshing structure 31 of the first meshing mechanism 33 of the driving portion 30 meshes with the first fitting structure 21 of the second meshing mechanism 23 of the impact portion 20 again, and returns to state a.

[0052] In this embodiment, the driving portion 30 includes a first meshing mechanism 33. The first meshing mechanism 33 includes a first meshing structure 31 and a second meshing structure 32. The impact portion 20 includes a second meshing mechanism 23. The second meshing mechanism 23 includes a first fitting structure 21 and a second fitting structure 22. The first meshing structure 31 meshes only with the first fitting structure 21, and the second meshing structure 32 meshes only with the second fitting structure 22. These are independent of each other, do not interfere with each other, and no meshing errors or jams occur.
