Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional flooring nail gun firing systems require disassembly of multiple components to identify faults, leading to inefficient assembly, poor maintenance stability, and high maintenance costs.

Innovation Solution

A firing apparatus with a hollow shell, driving device, and front end cover, featuring a piston barrel with sealing members and an air inflow support ring, along with a buffer gasket and threaded connection, which simplifies assembly and maintenance by reducing manufacturing and maintenance difficulties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If two or more components are separately installed from two ends of a shell and then connected and sealed, then the assembly can be completed, but the assembling efficiency is low and maintenance stability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembling efficiencyVSAvoidcomponent assembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple separate components (piston barrel, tapping seat, sealing structures, buffer device, positioning device) into a unified integrated assembly that is installed as a single unit from one end of the shell. This merging of components eliminates the need for separate installation and sealing operations, thereby improving assembling efficiency while reducing the complexity of component connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of repair

If multiple components are separately installed and connected, then the firing apparatus can be assembled, but the convenience of maintenance is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance convenienceVSAvoidcomponent disassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the integrated assembly as a modular unit that can be easily removed and reinstalled. The segmentation is achieved by defining clear interfaces between the integrated assembly and the shell, allowing the entire assembly (containing multiple sub-components) to be treated as a single replaceable module. This enables quick maintenance by simply removing and replacing the integrated assembly without disassembling individual components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If conventional firing apparatus structure is used, then the product can be manufactured, but manufacturing costs are high and service life is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct stability and reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functional components into a single integrated assembly, which reduces the total number of parts that need to be manufactured, stored, and assembled. This merging approach simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces inventory requirements, and lowers overall manufacturing costs while improving product reliability through fewer potential failure points from reduced connections and sealing interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A firing apparatus for a floor nailing gun includes a hollow shell, a driving device and a front end cover. The driving device and the front end cover are respectively disposed at rear and front end portions of the hollow shell. A piston barrel and a tapping seat are disposed inside the shell. The piston barrel has a first end portion and a second end portion that is smaller than the first end portion, where the second end portion of the piston barrel extends from a front end portion of the shell to the inside of the shell and is connected to the driving device, and the first end portion is connected to the tapping seat. The front end cover is provided with a through hole, such that a front end of the tapping seat passes through the through hole to protrude from the front end cover.
