Solution Overview

Problem

The stability of pneumatic nailing guns is compromised due to air leakage caused by deformation of the second piston at the contact position on the air cylinder wall, resulting in insufficient nail shooting force and reduced nailing gun stability.

Innovation Solution

A pneumatic nailing gun design featuring a locking block with a sliding groove and ejector rod system, where the ejector rod abuts against multiple bayonets and a moving groove, ensuring stable movement of the first piston by evenly distributing the upward pushing force, thus maintaining the sealing integrity of the air cavity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the unlocking ejector rod penetrates through a through hole to abut against a pushing inclined plane, then the fastener assembly moves downward, but the fastener elastic member subjects the fastener to an upward elastic force, causing the second piston to deform at the contact position on the air cylinder wall, resulting in air leakage and insufficient nail shooting force

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunlocking mechanism operationVSAvoidnailing stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a pushing block as an intermediary component between the ejector rod and the fastener assembly. The pushing block receives the upward pushing force from the ejector rod and transfers it to the fastener assembly in a controlled manner, preventing direct contact between the ejector rod and the air cylinder wall that would cause piston deformation. This intermediary structure resolves the contradiction by enabling smooth unlocking operation while preventing the harmful elastic force from deforming the second piston.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Power

If the second piston is fixed to compress air in the communication space, then high-pressure gas is generated to drive the firing pin, but the piston connected with the firing pin remains fixed using a fastener assembly that may deform under elastic force

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenail shooting forceVSAvoidpiston structural integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The pushing block serves as a mediator that protects the second piston from direct exposure to large elastic forces. When the ejector rod pushes the fastener assembly downward, the pushing block absorbs and distributes this force, preventing the elastic member from exerting excessive upward force on the piston. This allows the piston to maintain its sealing function and structural integrity while still enabling the high-pressure gas generation needed for nail shooting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The pushing block acts as a cushioning element that anticipates and absorbs the elastic rebound force before it can damage the second piston. By positioning the pushing block between the ejector rod and the piston, the system pre-empts the harmful elastic force from causing deformation, thereby maintaining piston strength and sealing integrity throughout the compression and firing cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
