DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0046] Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings of the description to make the technical contents clearer and easier to understand. The present invention can be embodied in various forms of embodiments, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments mentioned herein.

[0047] In the drawings, the same reference numeral indicates components having the same structure, and similar reference numerals indicate components having similar structures or functions throughout. The size and thickness of each component shown in the figures are shown arbitrarily, and the present invention does not define the size and thickness of each component. In order to make the illustration clearer, the thickness of the component in some places of the figures is appropriately exaggerated.

[0048] An “upward” direction mentioned in the present invention specifically indicates a direction opposite to the natural gravity when a magazine 4 of the embodiments is placed at a bottom end of a device and the magazine 4 is placed in a horizontal direction. The “upward” direction may vary with placement angles and postures of a nail gun.

Embodiment 1

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment comprises a nail gun housing 1, a power component 2, a drive component 3, a magazine 4, and a control component 5. The power component 2, the drive component 3, the magazine 4, and the control component 5 are all fixedly connected to the nail gun housing 1. The magazine 4 contains fastening nails and comprises a nailing opening 41. The power component 2 exerts, under the drive of the drive component 3, an acting force on a fastening nail located at the nailing opening 41 to push the fastening nail out of the nail gun. The control component 5 is used to control the power component 2 and the drive component 3.

[0050] FIGS. 2 to 4 show schematic structural diagrams of the drive component 3 in this embodiment. A pneumatic motor 31 and an electric motor 32 are comprised. The pneumatic motor 31 comprises a gas source connection port 310 and a pneumatic motor housing 311. An output part of the pneumatic motor 31, namely a pneumatic motor bearing 312, is connected to an input part of the electric motor 32 via a bearing, that is, the pneumatic motor 31 and the electric motor 32 are connected in series. A clutch component 35 is provided between the pneumatic motor 31 and the electric motor 32, and the clutch component 35 is controlled by using a clutch switch 36 such that the pneumatic motor 31 and the electric motor 32 are linked or separated. In this embodiment, the clutch switch 36 is a toggle element, is provided in a slot 34, and has an exposed part on the pneumatic motor housing 311. A separated/linked state is controlled by toggling. A linkage spring 33 is sleeved on the pneumatic motor bearing 312. A reduction box 37 is provided on an output shaft of the electric motor 32 to convert a higher rotation speed of the output shaft of the electric motor 32 into a larger torque to provide power for the power component 2. Preferably, the reduction box 37 comprises a planetary gear.

[0051] In this embodiment, in a scenario where there is a gas source, the pneumatic motor 31 provides a driving force to drive the electric motor 32 to rotate under the action of the clutch component 35, thereby outputting power to the reduction box 37. The electric motor 32 generates power when there is no gas source or when it is inconvenient to connect to a gas source. A power source connection port is provided on the nail gun housing 1 to provide energy input for the electric motor 32. In this case, to prevent the pneumatic motor 31 that loses power from causing additional resistance to the electric motor 32, the clutch switch 36 can be toggled, to separate the electric motor 32 from the pneumatic motor 31 by means of the clutch component 35. The electric motor 32 independently outputs power to the reduction box 37. Therefore, this embodiment can be applied to various work scenarios without the need to prepare other types of nail guns.

[0052] In this embodiment, the output part of the pneumatic motor 31 is connected to the input part of the electric motor 32 to achieve the effect of having both pneumatic power and electric power. However, in other embodiments, the position of the pneumatic motor 31 and that of the electric motor 32 can be exchanged, that is, an output part of the electric motor 32 is connected to an input part of the pneumatic motor 31, which can also achieve the technical effect of using a gas source or a power source to generate power respectively. It is also possible to provide the clutch component 35 between the pneumatic motor 31 and the electric motor 32 to control a separated/linked state between the two motors.

[0053] An output part of the reduction box 37 is provided with a cam 38, and the cam 38 is fixedly connected to an output shaft of the reduction box 37 via a fastening pin 39. In this way, the cam 38 rotates about its axis under the drive of the reduction box 37, and outputs a driving force to the power component 2.

[0054] FIG. 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of the power component 2 of this embodiment. The power component 2 comprises a fixed shaft 21, a power spring 22, and a slider 23. An upper end of the fixed shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the nail gun housing 1. The power spring 22 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 21, an upper end of the power spring is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 21, and a lower end thereof is fixedly connected to the slider 23.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 6, the slider 23 is a component with an opening in the middle, and the opening allows the fixed shaft 21 to pass through, such that the slider 23 can slide along the fixed shaft 21. During the rotation of the cam 38, a protrusion provided on the cam 38 is brought into contact with the slider 23 and generates an upward acting force on the slider 23, such that the slider 23 slides upwards along the fixed shaft 21, and the power spring 21 is in a compressed state, thereby storing elastic potential energy. A recessed opening 231 is provided at an edge of the slider 23 on the side close to the drive component 3. When the protrusion on the cam 38 moves to the recessed opening 231, the cam 38 is separated from the slider 23, so the cam 38 no longer generates an acting force on the slider 23. In this case, the compressed power spring 21 releases the previously stored elastic potential energy to drive the slider 23 to slide downwards along the fixed shaft 21. An edge of the slider 23 on the side close to the nailing opening 41 slightly protrudes. When the slider 23 slides to a certain position, its edge is brought into contact with a fastening nail in the magazine 4, and pushes the fastening nail in the magazine 4 out of the magazine 4 through the nailing opening 41 by means of the power provided by the power spring 22. Nailing is completed once. A limiting part may be provided on the nail gun housing 1 to prevent the slider 23 from being separated from the power spring 22 or damaging the magazine 4 due to excessive movement under the action of the power spring 22.

[0056] FIG. 7 shows the control component 5 of this embodiment, comprising a button 51, an electric switch 52, and a gas valve switch 53. The button 51 is a main operating component used by a user for performing a nailing function. The gas valve switch 53 comprises a gas valve switch inlet 531 and a gas valve switch outlet 532. Gas received from the gas source connection port 310 first enters the gas valve switch inlet 531. The gas valve switch 53 comprises an exposed gas valve switch button. When the button 51 is pressed, the gas valve switch button is triggered, and the gas valve switch 53 is turned on. The gas passing through the gas valve switch inlet 531 passes through the gas valve switch outlet 532, and then enters the pneumatic motor 31. When the button 51 is released, the gas valve switch 53 is turned off, so the gas cannot enter the gas valve switch outlet 532 from the gas valve switch inlet 531. In this way, the technical effect of controlling the pneumatic motor 31 is achieved. At the same time, the electric switch 52 is also turned on when the button 51 is pressed, and is turned off when the button 51 is released. Moreover, a state switch of the electric motor 32 is additionally provided. In a scenario where a gas source is connected, there is no need to start the electric motor 32. Therefore, the state switch of the electric motor 32 can be turned off to ensure that the electric motor 32 is not started when the button 51 is pressed. A button return spring 54 is further provided in this embodiment. The button return spring 54 is connected to the button 51 via a mechanism. When an external force for pressing the button 51 is removed, the button 51 can return to its natural position under the action of the button return spring 54.

Embodiment 2

[0057] FIG. 8 shows a schematic structural diagram of a drive component in another embodiment of the present application. The drive component 3 of this embodiment comprises a gas source connection port 310, and the gas source connection port 310 is in communication with a gas cylinder. Gas enters the gas cylinder through the gas source connection port 310. A first one-way valve 315 is provided at a joint part of the gas source connection port 310 and the gas cylinder. Due to the action of the first one-way valve 315, gas can only enter the gas cylinder from the gas source connection port 310, but cannot return to the gas source connection port 310 from the gas cylinder. In addition, this embodiment further comprises an electric inflation pump 313. The electric inflation pump 313 is in communication with the gas cylinder. A second one-way valve 316 is provided at a joint part of the electric inflation pump 313 and the gas cylinder. Due to the action of the second one-way valve 316, gas can only enter the gas cylinder from the electric inflation pump 313, but cannot return to the electric inflation pump 313 from the gas cylinder. In this embodiment, the first one-way valve 315 and the second one-way valve 316 have the same structure. Taking the first one-way valve 315 as an example, as shown in FIG. 9, a gas valve cavity of the first one-way valve 315 is generally cylindrical, and its end arranged close to the gas cylinder is referred to as a ventilation end; and the end arranged away from the gas cylinder is referred to as a non-ventilation end. Diameters of the gas valve cavity are not uniform, and a diameter at the ventilation end is greater than a diameter at the non-ventilation end. A one-way valve spring 3151 and a one-way valve ball 3152 are provided in the gas valve cavity, wherein the one-way valve spring 3151 is provided at the ventilation end of the gas valve cavity, and the one-way valve ball 3152 is provided at the non-ventilation end of the gas valve cavity. A diameter of the one-way valve ball 3152 is greater than the diameter of the gas valve cavity at the non-ventilation end, so that the one-way valve ball 3152 can block the non-ventilation end of the gas valve cavity and does not fall out of the non-ventilation end of the gas valve cavity. The diameter of the one-way valve ball 3152 is smaller than the diameter of the gas valve cavity at the ventilation end, so that the one-way valve ball 3152 can be contained in the gas valve cavity. The one-way valve spring 3151 presses the one-way valve ball 3152 against the non-ventilation end of the gas valve cavity with a certain elastic force. When gas flows from the non-ventilation end to the ventilation end, as long as the pressure generated by the gas on the one-way valve ball 3152 is greater than the pressure generated by the one-way valve spring 3151, the gas can burst through the one-way valve ball 3152 into the gas valve cavity, and enter the gas cylinder through the gas valve cavity. When gas flows from the ventilation end to the non-ventilation end, the gas and the one-way valve spring 3151 generate pressures in the same direction on the one-way valve ball 3152, so that the one-way valve ball 3152 blocks the non-ventilation end of the gas valve cavity, and therefore the gas cannot leave the gas valve cavity through the non-ventilation end.

[0058] An inflation pump switch 314 is used to control on and off of the electric inflation pump. In this embodiment, the electric inflation pump 313 is used to replace an electric motor part of a conventional electric nail gun. On the one hand, the limitation that the working time of the electric motor should not be too long is broken through. On the other hand, the nail gun can work normally in a work scenario with only a gas source or only a power source, without the need to change different types of nail guns.

Embodiment 3

[0059] FIGS. 10 to 12 show schematic structural diagrams of a power component 2 in another embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the power component 2 comprises a shaft rod 26, ribs 28 are provided on a surface of the shaft rod 26, and the ribs 28 cooperate with cam teeth 271 on a toothed cam 27. When the toothed cam 27 rotates, the cam tooth 271 exerts an upward acting force to the rib 28, such that the shaft rod 26 moves upwards. The cam teeth 271 are not arranged on the entire circumference of the toothed cam 27, and a toothless part is provided in a partial area thereof. When the toothless part of the toothed cam 27 rotates to the position of the rib 28, the toothed cam 27 is separated from the rib 28, that is, an upward support force on the rib 28 is removed. In this case, the shaft rod 26 moves downwards. The shaft rod 26 can push a fastening nail in a magazine 4 out of the magazine to complete a nailing action. The power component 2 in this embodiment can cooperate with different solutions of the drive component 3 in the above embodiments to form different hybrid nail gun devices.

[0060] The specific preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. It should be understood that a person of ordinary skill in the art would be able to make various modifications and variations according to the concept of the present invention without involving any inventive effort. Therefore, any technical solution that can be obtained by those skilled in the art by means of logical analysis, reasoning or limited trials on the basis of the prior art and according to the concept of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims.
