In the rotating process of the jack assembly, if the distance between the output shaft and the protruding portions is longer, the support frame may be pushed to the farther first position, but a greater rotating space is needed if the distance between the output shaft and the protruding portions is longer, and a thickness of the housing correspondingly needs to be increased. Interference portions between the second guide members and the protruding portions adopt an avoiding design, the support frame may be pushed as far as possible without increasing the thickness of the housing. In order to ensure the strength of the second guide members, the interference position of the second guide members and the protruding portions are set to be the position of just starting to push the support frame, at this moment, the bias force to be overcome is small, and the correspondingly output torque is smaller. From the structure, that is, the first protruding portion is designed to have the greatest protruding length, and the first protruding shaft cooperating with the first protruding portion is designed to have the smallest protruding length.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
FIG. 1 shows a fastener driver 10 (for example, a nailer) used for driving a fastener 12 (for example, a nail) fixedly held in a box 14 into a workpiece. The driver 10 includes a front end component 18, and the front end component sequentially receives the fastener from the box 14 before each fastener driving operation. The front end component 18 includes a contact mortise and tenon structure 20, and the mortise and tenon structure allows the driver 10 to operate in a single-shooting mode. In some embodiments of the driver 10, the contact mortise and tenon structure 20 may be allowed to be operated in a single-shooting mode and/or sudden-shooting or continuous-shooting mode. The driver 10 includes a housing 22, the housing limits a head portion 26 and a handle portion 30 and receives a battery receiving portion 34 of battery packs 38. In shown embodiments, the housing 22 is longitudinally divided into a first housing portion and a second housing portion in a position of a parting line 24.
Referring to FIG. 2, the fastener driver 10 includes a trigger 42. The trigger selectively provides power for a driving mechanism 46 sealed in the handle portion 30 of the driver 10. The driving mechanism 46 includes an electric motor 50, a gearbox 54 and an output shaft 56, the gearbox receives a torque from the motor 50, and an output shaft is driven by the gearbox 54.
The fastener driver 10 includes an emission mechanism 62 in the head portion 26 of the housing 22. The emission mechanism 62 is connected to the driving mechanism 46, and operably executes the fastener driving operation. The emission mechanism 62 includes a movable member (for example, a piston 66) configured to do a reciprocating motion in the head portion 26, a bias member 68 (for example, one or a plurality of compressed springs 70 and 72) abutting the piston 66 to be located in a second position, and a driver firing pin 74 attached to the piston 66. The bias member 68 pushes the piston 66 and the driver firing pin 74 in the head portion 26 to the second position 75 at the bottom so as to drive the fastener into the workpiece. In shown embodiments, the bias member 68 includes a pair of nested compressed springs 70 and 72. These compressed springs cooperatively act to push the piston 66 and the driver firing pin 74 to the second position 75.
As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a jack assembly 58 is positioned between the driving mechanism 46 and the emission mechanism 62, and is operated by the driving mechanism 46 so that the piston 66 and the driver firing pin 74 move to the first position 73 on the top against a bias force of the bias member 68. In the driving sequence period, the bias member 68 of the emission mechanism 62 pushes the driver firing pin 74 and the piston 66 from the first position 73 to the second position 75 so as to emit the fastener into the workpiece. The jack assembly 58 driven by the driving mechanism 46 is operable so that the piston 66 and the driver firing pin 74 moves from the second position 75 to the first position 73.
Now referring to FIG. 3, the driver 10 further includes a first guide member 80 glidingly supporting the piston 66 and second guide members 82 separated from the first guide member 80. The second guide members 82 glidingly support a support frame 86 which is connected with the piston 66 and moves together with the piston. The second guide members 82 are positioned between the first guide member 80 and the jack assembly 58, and are configured to glidingly support the support frame 86. In shown embodiments, the piston 66 and the support frame 86 are integrally formed into a single part, so the first guide member 80 and the second guide members 82 all glidingly support the piston 66. In the shown embodiments, the first guide member 80 is in a cylindrical shape, the second guide members 82 are respectively U-shaped rigid members disposed on the left side and right side of the housing. Therefore, the piston 66 may be in response to the rotation of the jack assembly 58 to freely move along the first guide member 80 and the second guide members 82.
Now referring to FIG. 7, the piston 66 is shown in detail. The piston 66 defines: a first hole 116. A size of the first hole is determined to receive and support the first guide member 80 along an axial line 90 of the first guide member 80. Upper and lower guide edges of the support frame 86 are matched with the second guide members 82 to realize the smooth operation of the jack assembly 58.
Now referring to FIG. 8, the support frame 86 includes a first protruding shaft 98, a second protruding shaft 102 and a third protruding shaft 103. The first protruding shaft is disposed in a manner of being perpendicular to the support frame 86 and leaving far away from the first guide member. The second protruding shaft 102 and the third protruding shaft 103 are parallel to the first protruding shaft 98 and are separated from each other. The first protruding shaft 98, the second protruding shaft 102 and the third protruding shaft 103 all extend towards the jack assembly 58. In the shown embodiments, the first protruding shaft 98 extends for a longer distance from the support frame 86 (for example, towards the jack assembly 58) than the second protruding shaft 102, and the second protruding shaft 102 extends for a longer distance from the support frame 86 (for example, towards the jack assembly 58) than the third protruding shaft 103. In other words, the first protruding shaft 98 is longer than the second protruding shaft 102, and the second protruding shaft 102 is longer than the third protruding shaft 103. The jack assembly 58 includes a first protruding portion 104, a second protruding portion 108 and a third protruding portion 109. The first protruding portion 104, the second protruding portion 108 and the third protruding portion 109 are respectively and selectively engaged with one corresponding protruding shaft of the first protruding shaft 98, the second protruding shaft 102 and the third protruding shaft 103 formed on the support frame 86 of the piston 66 so as to transmit the moment output by the output shaft 56 to the emission mechanism 66.
In the shown embodiments, the second protruding portion 108 extends for a longer distance from the jack assembly 58 (for example, towards the support frame 86) than the first protruding portion 104, so that the size of the second protruding portion 108 is determined to be matched with the second protruding shaft. The third protruding portion 109 extends for a longer distance from the jack assembly 58 (for example, towards the support frame 86) so that the size of the third protruding portion 109 is determined to be matched with the third protruding shaft 103. In other words, the second protruding portion 108 protrudes for a longer distance than the first protruding portion 104, and the third protruding portion protrudes for a longer distance than the second protruding portion. Through structures of the jack assembly 58 and the support frame 86, the piston 66 and the driver firing pin 74 moves from the second position 75 to the first position 73 in a single fastener driving cycle period. The second guide member 82 is positioned near the jack assembly 58 and is next to the jack assembly, so when the jack assembly 58 enables the piston 66 to move towards the first position 73, the support frame 86 physically deflects, and therefore the bending stress received by the support frame 86 is reduced. In the whole movement process, the support frame 86 is always reliably positioned between the second guide members 82. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the second guide members 82 are made into two U-shaped structures, and are reliably connected with the upper and lower portions of the housing.
Referring to FIG. 9, the jack assembly 58 includes an approximately square shape defined by a long straight line surface 130, a short straight line surface 131, a long concave arc surface 132 and a short concave arc surface 133. The first protruding portion 104 is positioned in an intersection vertex of the long straight line surface 130 and the short straight line surface 131, the second protruding portion 108 is positioned in an intersection vertex of the long concave arc surface 132 and the short concave arc surface 133, and the third protruding portion 109 is positioned in an intersection vertex of the long straight line surface 130 and the long concave arc surface 132. Each of the first protruding portion 104, the second protruding portion 108 and the third protruding portion 109 is formed by being defined by a plurality of arcs. Through the adoption of these shapes, the minimum friction between the protruding shafts and the protruding portions in the contact process with the protruding shafts is ensured (it will be described in detail below). In order to further reduce the friction between the protruding portions and the protruding shafts, a round rotating ring 96 capable of rotating on the protruding shaft may be sheathed outside each of the protruding shafts, so that the sliding friction and rolling friction between the protruding portions and the protruding shafts may be totally changed into rolling friction. As we all know, under the condition of the same acting force, the rolling friction is much smaller than sliding friction.
Continuously referring to FIG. 10 to FIG. 12, a motion relationship between the first protruding shaft 98 and the first protruding portion 104 is schematically shown.
As shown in FIG. 10 (referring to FIG. 3 at the same time), the support frame 86 and the piston 66 are located in the initial second position 75, and rotate anticlockwise under the power output of the output shaft 56 along with the jack assembly 58. Firstly, the first protruding portion 104 on the jack assembly 58 is in contact with the first protruding shaft 98. With the continuous rotation of the jack assembly 58, through the first protruding shaft 98, the first protruding portion 104 drives the support frame 86 to move from the second position 75 to the first position 73 against the bias member 68. Referring to FIG. 11, with the continuous rotation of the jack assembly 58, the first protruding portion 104 pushes the support frame 86 to continuously leave far away from the second position 75 and to move towards the first position 73. Referring to FIG. 12, with the continuous rotation of the jack assembly 58, when the jack assembly 58 rotates to a certain angle, the contact between the first protruding portion 104 and the first protruding shaft 98 reach the farthest end, and then, the first protruding portion 104 starts to be separated from the first protruding shaft 98.
In the whole process from the contact of the first protruding portion 104 with the first protruding shaft 98 to the separation of the first protruding portion 104 from the first protruding shaft 98, in order to realize stable operation of the support frame 86, the torsion output by the first protruding portion 104 to the first protruding shaft 98 needs to be uniformly changed, at the same time, output thrust of the first protruding portion 104 needs to be possibly converted into the bias force against the bias member 68, i.e., the output efficiency is improved. The friction between the first protruding portion 104 and the first protruding shaft 98 needs to be as small as possible. In order to achieve the two above points, according to the present invention, the first protruding shaft 98 is designed to present a cylindrical shape, and the surface of the first protruding portion 104 in contact with the first protruding shaft 98 is designed to present a convex arc shape. Additionally, a contact point between the first protruding portion 104 and the first protruding shaft 98 in the whole force transmission process is ensured to be always a highest point between the first protruding portion and the first protruding shaft (referring to FIG. 10 to FIG. 12), that is, the contact surfaces between the first protruding portion 104 and the first protruding shaft 98 are always maintained to be in arc surface and cylindrical surface contact. In order to further reduce the sliding friction caused by translational motion between the first protruding portion 104 and the first protruding shaft 98, a round ring capable of doing concentric rotation around the first protruding shaft 98 is sheathed outside the first protruding shaft 98, and the sliding friction is changed into rolling friction.
Referring to FIG. 13, with the continuous rotation of the jack assembly 58, the first protruding portion 104 starts to be ready to leave away from the first protruding shaft 98, at this moment, the second protruding portion 108 starts to be in contact with the second protruding portion 102, and the support frame 86 is further pushed to the first position 73.
Referring to FIG. 14, with the continuous rotation of the jack assembly 58, the first protruding portion 104 is completely separated from the first protruding shaft 98, the second protruding portion 108 is completely in contact with the second protruding shaft 102, and the support frame 86 is further pushed to the first position 73.
Referring to FIG. 15, with the continuous rotation of the jack assembly 58, the second protruding portion 108 pushes the second protruding shaft 102 to the farthest end, and the second protruding portion starts to be ready to leave away from the second protruding shaft. In a contact motion process of the second protruding portion 108 and the second protruding shaft 102 as shown in FIG. 13 to FIG. 15, the surface of the second protruding portion 108 with the second protruding shaft 102 is always in the highest stress point, and the second protruding shaft 102 is a cylindrical convex shaft. Through such a shape design, the friction between the second protruding portion 108 and the second protruding shaft 102 may be ensured to be minimum. Further, a movable round ring may be sheathed outside the second protruding shaft 102 which is the cylindrical protruding shaft, so that the friction between the second protruding portion and the second protruding shaft may be rolling friction, and the friction between the second protruding portion 108 and the second protruding shaft 102 is further reduced. At the same time, whole structures of the second protruding portion 108 in the convex arc shape and the second protruding shaft 102 in the cylindrical shape realize the uniform stress in the motion process, the stability of a transmission process is ensured, and the shock of the machine is reduced.
Referring to FIG. 16, with the continuous anticlockwise rotation of the jack assembly 58, the contact between the second protruding portion 108 and the second protruding shaft 102 reaches the highest point, and the second protruding portion and the second protruding shaft start to be separated from each other. At this moment, the third protruding portion 109 has started to be in contact with the third protruding shaft 103, and the third protruding portion 109 will continuously push the support frame 86 to the first position 73.
Referring to FIG. 17, with the continuous anticlockwise rotation of the jack assembly 58, the second protruding portion 108 is completely separated from the second protruding shaft 102, and the third protruding portion 109 independently exerts thrust to the third protruding shaft 103 to enable the support frame 86 to continuously move towards the first position 73.
Referring to FIG. 18, with the continuous anticlockwise rotation of the jack assembly 58, the third protruding portion 109 pushes the third protruding shaft 103 to the farthest end. As mentioned above, the shape of the third protruding portion 109 is also set to reach the minimum friction between the third protruding portion 109 and the third protruding shaft 103. It is not repeated herein.
When the third protruding portion 109 bypasses the highest contact point with the third protruding shaft 103, the third protruding portion 109 suddenly leaves away from the third protruding shaft 103, the support frame 86 will fast move towards the second position 75 through being pushed by the bias force of the bias mechanism, and a nail in a nail box will be nailed into an object to be nailed through generated nailing force.
When the support frame 86 is in the second position 75, with the continuous rotation of the jack assembly 58, the first protruding portion 104 starts to be in contact with the first protruding shaft 98, a next cycle like it mentioned above is performed, and the support frame 86 is pushed from the second position 75 to the first position 73 again. The operation is cyclically repeated in such a manner.
From FIG. 10 to FIG. 18, a process of moving from the second position 75 to the first position 73, returning to the second position 75 and nailing the nail in the nail box into the object is completely shown. In a complete motion cycle, the first protruding shaft 98, the second protruding shaft 102 and the third protruding shaft 103 may be the protruding shafts located at the same height and having the same diameter (of course, the diameters may be different), the first protruding portion 104, the second protruding portion 108 and the third protruding portion 109 rotate around the output shaft of the jack assembly 58, and the shape changes according to the distances from the contact points of the first protruding shaft 98, the second protruding shaft 102 and the third protruding shaft 103, so that the uniform stress and minimum friction between the protruding shafts and the protruding portions in the whole process are ensured. The minimum shock amplitude of a product in the working process is ensured, the use of the product is stable, a user feels comfortable in operation, and the service life of the product in use is long.
Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the emission mechanism 62 moves from the second position 75 to the first position 73, in a motion process of the emission mechanism 62, the jack assembly 58 transmits the torsion output from the electric motor 50 and passing through the gearbox 54 and the output shaft 56 to the emission mechanism 62 through the anticlockwise rotation. The whole motion process is as mentioned above, and is not repeated herein. In order to ensure the sufficient nailing force of the emission mechanism 62, the bias force of the bias mechanism 68 needs to be possibly overcome. In other words, the moving nailing force of the emission mechanism is greater if the distance between the second position 75 and the first position 73 is longer. Therefore, in the rotation process of the jack assembly 58, the protruding portion is expected to leave away from the rotating shaft 56 for a possibly longer distance. However, the longer distance of the protruding portion away from the rotating shaft 56 needs a greater rotating space, a brought negative effect is that the housing is thickened to provide the required rotating space, the product needs to be enlarged, inconvenience is brought to a customer in a product use process, and the product cost is also increased. Further, the torsion output by the output shaft 56 to the support frame 86 and the bias force output by the bias mechanism 68 to the support frame 86 are not in the same shaft, so that a deflection component force may be generated between the output shaft and the bias mechanism. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the bias mechanism 68, this deflection component force needs to be overcome by the support frame 86 in the moving process. According to the present invention, the support frame 86 is disposed in a friction-resistant rigid guide rail, and the rigid guide rail is reliably connected with the housing. Specifically, the second guide members 82 of the rigid guide rail are in U shapes, and half wrap upper and lower guide edges of the support frame 86. Further, the rigid guide rail may be used as an insert to be formed into a whole with the housing through injection moulding in various manners such as interference fit, or may be connected with the housing through screws, etc.
Referring to FIG. 10 to FIG. 18, in a complete motion cycle of the jack assembly 58, in order that the emission mechanism 62 obtains greater nailing force, in the rotating process of the jacking assembly 58, the protruding portion may exceed the upper and lower guide edges of the support frame 86, and the upper and lower guide edges of the support frame 86 are half-wrapped by the second guide members 82. In order to avoid the interference between the protruding portions and the guide groove, the following two structures are used for avoiding the problem. 1. The height of the third protruding portion 109 protruding out from the jack assembly 58 is as high as possible under the condition of ensuring the third protruding portion 109 to be in contact with the plane of the support frame 86, and the guide groove corresponding to the portion exceeding the support frame 86 in the rotating process is subjected to avoiding design, and the portions of the second guide members 82 generating interference with the third protruding portion 109 are removed. 2. The second guide members 82 are designed into a segmented type (as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5).
In order to ensure the strength of the second guide members 82, the completeness of the second guide members 82 needs to be possibly ensured, and the interference U-shaped convex edges need to be reduced until parts of positions are completely removed, and only a plane portion is left (as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4).
In order to ensure the strength of the second guide members 82, the height of the second protruding portion 108 is designed to avoid the interference with the U-shaped guide rail.
